Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switches, in particular to a seat switch structure capable of reducing abnormal operating noise. Background Art

[0002] At present, with more and more functional requirements for automobile seats, the seat adjustment switches use more and more module combinations. For example, the forward and backward sliding of the slide rail, the overall height adjustment of the seat, and the forward and backward angle adjustment of the backrest need to be completed through the combination of four-way modules and two-way modules.

[0003] The existing seat adjustment switch usually includes multiple buttons (such as a seat button for adjusting the seat, a backrest button for adjusting the backrest, a lumbar adjustment button for adjusting the lumbar dislocation, and a leg rest button for adjusting the leg rest). The operation button drives the slider in the corresponding bracket to move. When the slider moves, it causes the corresponding swing rod to swing. The swing rod acts on the pressure block, causing the pressure block to press down on the corresponding conductive rubber, thereby turning on the corresponding conductive disk on the PCB board to achieve the adjustment of the corresponding function of the seat. However, in actual use, when the button is operated, the bracket will move slightly, and the fixed mating surface of the bracket and the shell is tightly attached. When relative displacement occurs, friction noise will occur, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example: As attached Figures 1 to 8 A seat switch structure for reducing abnormal operation noise is shown, comprising a housing 1, a PCB board 2 arranged in the housing 1, a conductive rubber 3 covered on the PCB board 2, a bracket 4 arranged above the conductive rubber 3, a swing rod 5 swingably arranged on the bracket 4, a slider 6 movably arranged on the housing 1 and linked with the swing rod 5, and a pressing block 7 arranged between the swing rod 5 and the conductive rubber 3, wherein a button is arranged at the outer end of the slider 6; the bottom end of the bracket 4 is tightly pressed against the conductive rubber 3, and the top end of the bracket 4 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions 8, the upper end surface of the first protrusion 8 is tightly fitted with the inner side of the housing 1, and the mating surface of the first protrusion 8 and the housing 1 is a rough surface structure 9. The mating surface of the bracket 4 and the housing 1 is processed into a rough surface structure 9, and the surface energy is reduced by reducing the contact area between the bracket 4 and the housing 1, and the friction abnormal noise is reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] The first implementation of the rough surface structure 9 is that the rough surface structure 9 on the first protrusion 8 is a gravel surface.
