AI Technical Summary
During extreme operation, the existing automotive combination switch toggle handle will generate noise due to hard limit contact, affecting the driver's experience of use.
A combined switch toggle structure of automobiles is designed, using a combination of flexible limit and self-reset tracks. By setting a barrier slope on both sides of the self-reset track, it increases the toggle resistance, and sets a flexible limit on both sides of the housing to avoid hard contact between the handle and the housing.
It effectively avoids abnormal noise during toggling, ensures the stability and use of the handle. At the same time, the travel of the handle is further limited through hard limits, avoiding the risk of exceeding the toggle range due to excessive force.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile switches, in particular to an automobile combination switch toggle structure. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automobiles, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality of automobile details. As the most frequently used control switch by drivers, the operating feel and sound feedback of the automobile combination switch directly affect the driver's experience. At present, the limit of the toggle handle is achieved by blocking the inner wall of the switch housing. Since the switch housing and the parts connected to the handle are all plastic parts, during extreme operation (extreme operation refers to the operation in which the operator uses too much force to push the handle to the bottom), the collision between them will produce noise, affecting the driver's experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a toggle structure of a vehicle combination switch, which solves the problem that noise is generated when the handle assembly of the existing toggle handle contacts with a hard limit.
[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solution: a vehicle combination switch toggle structure, comprising a housing, a handle assembly arranged on the housing and capable of being toggled left and right, the handle assembly comprising a retractable shift pin arranged at the front end, a self-resetting track adapted to the shift pin being arranged on the inner wall of the housing; flexible limiters are arranged on the left and right sides of the handle assembly;
[0005] The self-resetting track includes a V-shaped track slope, and blocking slopes are arranged on both sides of the V-shaped track slope, and the inclination angle of the blocking slope is greater than that of the V-shaped track slope; when the handle assembly is turned, the two sides of the handle assembly first contact with the flexible limit, and then the gear pin contacts with the blocking slope.
[0006] In order to further limit the stroke of the handle assembly, a hard limiter in contact with the handle assembly is also provided on the inner side wall of the shell. The handle assembly first contacts the flexible limiter, and when the gear pin contacts the blocking inclined surface, the handle assembly contacts the hard limiter.
[0007] Preferably, the flexible limiter is a rubber strip.
[0008] For easy installation, a mounting groove is provided on the shell, and the rubber strip is inserted into the mounting groove.
[0009] To ensure that the rubber strip deforms in a set direction each time, one side of the rubber strip is a plane structure and the other side is an arcuate surface, and the width of the plane structure is greater than the width of the arcuate surface. When the handle assembly is pressed on the rubber strip, the rubber strip bends toward one side of the arcuate surface.
[0010] In order to ensure that the handle assembly moves in a set direction, a slide bar limiting bracket is provided on the housing, and a slide bar matched with the slide bar limiting bracket is provided on the handle assembly.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model: The utility model sets blocking slopes on both sides of the self-resetting track. When the handle is dialed into place, the resistance increases under the action of the blocking slopes when the handle is dialed, thereby preventing the handle assembly from further rotating. At the same time, the handle assembly contacts the flexible limit on the shell. The combination of the two can avoid abnormal noise when dialing. In order to further limit the stroke of the dial handle assembly, a hard limit is also set on the shell to prevent the handle assembly from exceeding the range of the dialing stroke due to excessive force. The handle assembly is first pressed on the flexible limit. After the flexible limit is deformed by force, the handle assembly is pressed on the flexible limit and the hard limit at the same time. There will be no strong impact during the whole process, so the noise is very small.
[0012] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 3 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the shell in the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a toggle structure of a combination switch for an automobile includes a housing 1, a handle assembly 2 arranged on the housing 1, the handle assembly 2 includes a handle 23, and a toggle component connected to the handle 23, the handle 23 can be toggled left and right and up and down. The utility model mainly relates to the left and right toggle of the handle 23 and its associated components. Therefore, the components for the up and down movement of the handle 23 are not described in detail here.
[0017] The handle 23 is connected to a steering bracket 24 which swings left and right with the handle 23, a gear pin 21 is provided at the front end of the steering bracket 24, an ejection spring 25 is provided between the gear pin 21 and the steering bracket 24, a self-reset track 11 which is adapted to the gear pin 21 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1, the other end of the gear pin 21 is pressed on the self-reset track 11, and the steering bracket 24 and the gear pin 21 are driven to swing left and right together by rotating the handle 23, and the gear pin 21 moves on the self-reset track 11, and when the handle 23 is released, the handle 23 returns to its initial position with the cooperation of the self-reset track 11 and the gear pin 21.
[0018] The self-resetting track 11 includes a V-shaped track slope 111, and blocking slopes 112 are arranged on both sides of the V-shaped track slope 111. The inclination angle of the blocking slope 112 is greater than that of the V-shaped track slope 111, so that when the gear pin 21 runs to the blocking slope 112, the resistance increases. The housing 1 is provided with flexible limiters 3 on the left and right sides of the handle assembly 2. When the handle assembly 2 is turned, the two sides of the steering bracket 24 first contact the flexible limiters 3, the noise is small, the steering bracket 24 continues to rotate, the gear pin 21 contacts the blocking slope 112, the running resistance increases, and the steering bracket 24 can be prevented or slowed down from continuing to rotate.
[0019] The flexible limiter 3 is preferably a rubber strip. For easy installation and replacement, a mounting groove 13 is provided on the housing 1, and the rubber strip is inserted into the mounting groove 13. In order to make the rubber strip deform along a set direction each time it is pressed, one side of the rubber strip is a plane structure 31, and the other side is an arc surface 32, and the width of the plane structure 31 is greater than the width of the arc surface 32. When the handle assembly 2 is pressed on the rubber strip, the rubber strip bends toward one side of the arc surface 32.
[0020] In order to prevent the handle from rotating beyond the limit position and being unable to reset, a hard limit 12 in contact with the handle assembly 2 is also provided on the inner wall of the shell 1. The handle assembly 2 first contacts the flexible limit 3. When the gear pin 21 contacts the blocking inclined surface 112, the handle assembly 2 contacts the hard limit 12, thereby preventing the steering bracket 24 from rotating further.
[0021] In order to ensure that the steering bracket 24 moves along the set path and ensure the reliability of the contact with the line below, a slide bar limiting bracket 14 is provided on the housing 1, and a slide bar 22 adapted to the slide bar limiting bracket 14 is provided on the handle assembly 2.
