For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.

[0031] In a first aspect, this embodiment provides a switch structure, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, including a mounting base 2 for a plurality of switch elements 1, a swing rod 3 that can swing relative to the mounting base 2 in multiple directions, and a limiting frame 4 for limiting and mounting the swing rod 3. The limiting frame 4 is sleeved on the swing rod 3, and the limiting frame 4 has an opening for a touch arm 31 to pass through. The limiting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 2. In order to adapt to the swing rod 3 triggering different switch elements 1 at different positions when swinging in different directions, the middle part of the swing rod 3 is provided with touch arms 31 in different directions. The switch elements 1 are arranged corresponding to the touch arms 31, and an elastic reset structure is provided between the mounting base 2 and the swing rod 3. The elastic reset structure makes the swing rod 3 always maintain a tendency to swing towards the initial position. When the swing rod 3 is in the initial position, the touch arm 31 does not trigger the switch element 1. When the swing rod 3 swings, the corresponding switch element 1 is triggered through the touch arm 31, so that the state of the switch element 1 is switched. The switch element 1 in this embodiment can adopt a push-button trigger switch such as a micro switch or a tactile switch.

[0032] When the structure in this embodiment is adopted to control the switch, when pressing the upper end of the swing rod 3 in one side direction to make it swing, the switch element 1 at the corresponding position is triggered by the touch arm 31 in the corresponding direction to switch its state, and the elastic reset structure is compressed during this process. When the pressure applied to the swing rod 3 is removed, the swing rod 3 can be driven to reset to the initial position under the reset elastic force of the button on the switch element 1 and the elastic force released by the elastic reset structure, and the touch arm 31 removes the touch on the switch element 1 and the state of the switch element 1 is reset; this switch structure is reasonably arranged, simple and compact in structure, can control multiple different switch elements 1 by the swing of the swing rod 3, has a high function integration degree, and has good practicability.

[0033] The elastic reset structure includes an elastic member installed at the bottom end of the swing rod 3 and a reset groove 21 provided on the mounting seat 2, and the elastic member abuts against the inside of the reset groove 21; the reset groove 21 includes a downwardly concave groove portion 22 and an inclined groove portion 23 radiating outward from the side of the groove portion 22, and the height of the inclined groove portion 23 gradually increases from near to far from the groove portion 22. When the swing rod 3 is in the initial position, the elastic member abuts against the groove portion 22. When the swing rod 3 swings, the elastic member abuts against the inclined groove portion 23 and slides along the inclined groove portion 23, and is gradually further compressed when the elastic member moves upward along the inclined groove portion 23. After the pressure applied to the swing rod 3 is removed, the compressed elastic force of the elastic member is released and presses the inclined groove portion 23 to slide downward, so as to provide power for the reset of the swing rod 3 through the elastic reset structure.

[0034] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the inclined groove portion 23 is set to be V-shaped or arc-shaped, so that the elastic member can always contact the groove bottom of the groove portion 23, and both sides of the groove can prevent the elastic member from shifting, thereby enhancing the stability when the swing rod 3 swings.

[0035] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, a first installation groove 32 with an opening downward is provided at the bottom end of the swing rod 3, and the elastic member is installed in the first installation groove 32; the elastic member includes a first movable pin 33 with a hemispherical bottom end and a first spring 34 that provides a downward elastic force for the first movable pin 33. Under the elastic force of the first spring 34, the bottom end of the first movable pin 33 abuts against the inside of the reset groove 21, and the first spring 34 and the first movable pin 23 are installed into the bottom opening of the first installation groove 32 during assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, a limiting stop 24 protruding upward is provided on the mounting seat 2 at the side of the reset groove 21, and the side of the swing rod 3 is resisted by the limiting stop 24 to limit the swing amplitude of the swing rod 3 and prevent the swing amplitude of the swing rod 3 from being too large.

[0037] In some embodiments, a second installation groove 41 is provided at the upper end of the limit frame 4 on the side of the swing rod 3. A second movable pin 42 and a second spring 43 for providing elastic force to the second movable pin 42 are provided in the second installation groove 41. A groove 36 opposite to the position of the second movable pin 42 is provided on the side of the swing rod 3. Under the elastic force of the second spring 43, the corresponding end of the second movable pin 42 abuts against the groove 36 on the swing rod 3. When the swing rod 3 is in the initial position, the second movable pin 42 elastically abuts against the swing rod 3, which can play an auxiliary positioning role for the swing rod 3 to enhance its stability in the corresponding position.

[0038] As Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation and wiring of the switch element 1, a circuit board 10 is fixed on the mounting base 2 in this embodiment. The circuit board 10 can be fixed on the mounting base 2 by clamping or screws, and the switch element 1 is installed on the circuit board 10.

[0039] The upper end of the swing rod 3 extends out of the limit frame 4 and is fixed with a handle 35, which facilitates the driver to press the swing rod 3.

[0040] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides a vehicle handlebar combined switch, including the switch structure described in any of the above embodiments. When assembling, the switch structure is installed in the vehicle handlebar combined switch, and the vehicle handlebar combined switch has all the advantages of the above switch structure.
