In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] This embodiment provides a switch for an automobile, comprising:
[0033] A housing, the housing comprising a base 1 and a mounting cover 2, a terminal head 3 is provided at the bottom of the base 1, a contact block 4 connected to the terminal head 3 is provided inside the base 1, and the mounting cover 2 is arranged above the base 1;
[0034] A connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism includes a seesaw 5, a probe assembly 6 and a first spring 7, the two ends of the seesaw 5 are swingably arranged in the base 1 along the Z direction, the probe assembly 6 penetrates the seesaw 5 and is slidably connected to the seesaw 5, and the first spring 7 is axially abutted between the probe assembly 6 and the seesaw 5;
[0035] The control mechanism includes a button 8 and a connecting rod 9. The button 8 is arranged in the mounting cover 2. One end of the connecting rod 9 abuts against the middle position of the rocker 5 and is used to control the swing of the two ends of the rocker 5. The other end of the connecting rod 9 is slidably arranged in the button 8.
[0036] In the present technical solution, the mounting cover 2 is installed and fixed on the base 1, a protrusion 81 is provided on the outer side of the button 8, and a recessed hole 21 adapted to be snap-fitted with the protrusion 81 is provided on the inner side of the mounting cover 2, and the button 8 is mounted on the mounting cover 2 through the snap-fit connection between the protrusion 81 and the recessed hole 21.
[0037] A support frame is provided inside the base 1, and a seesaw 5 is provided on the support frame. Both ends of the seesaw 5 can swing up and down in the Z direction so that the probe assembly 6 on the seesaw 5 can contact the contact block 4 provided in the base 1, thereby connecting the circuit. A connecting rod 9 is provided through the mounting cover 2, and a spherical portion is provided on one end of the connecting rod 9 to abut against the seesaw 5. By pressing one end of the button 8, the spherical portion of the connecting rod 9 drives one end of the seesaw 5 to descend so that the probe assembly 6 contacts the contact block 4 to complete the circuit connection, thereby realizing the conduction of the circuit controlled by the button 8.
[0038] The probe assembly 6 is slidably connected to the seesaw 5, and a first spring 7 is arranged axially abutting between the probe assembly 6 and the seesaw 5. When the probe assembly 6 contacts the contact block 4, the first spring 7 is squeezed to generate elastic force to act on the probe assembly 6, so that the probe assembly 6 and the contact block 4 are kept in close contact, thereby improving the connection stability between the probe assembly 6 and the contact block 4. In addition, when the button 8 is squeezed by a large external force, the first spring 7 can also play a certain buffering role to avoid collision between the probe assembly 6 and the seesaw 5 and cause damage.
[0039] In summary, through this structural design, it is possible to effectively avoid the influence of poor contact between the probe assembly 6 and the contact block 4 on the conduction of the circuit, ensuring that the button 8 can respond quickly when in use, which is safer and more practical.
[0040] Embodiment 2:
[0041] This embodiment provides a switch for an automobile, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0042] Furthermore, the probe assembly 6 includes:
[0043] A guide rod 61, wherein the guide rod 61 passes through the seesaw 5 and is slidably connected to the seesaw 5;
[0044] A connecting probe 62, wherein the connecting probe 62 is arranged on one end of the guide rod 61 close to the contact block 4;
[0045] a stopper 63, the stopper 63 being disposed on the other end of the guide rod 61 and abutting against the seesaw 5;
[0046] The first spring 7 is axially abutted between the connecting probe 62 and the rocker 5 .
[0047] In the present technical solution, the connection probe 62 and the guide rod 61 are integrally connected, and a stopper 63 is provided on the other end of the guide rod 61. The stopper 63 can be a nut threadedly connected to the guide rod 61, or a spring clamped and fixed to the guide rod 61. When the connection probe 62 contacts the contact block 4, the first spring 7 is compressed, the guide rod 61 slides, and the elastic force generated by the first spring 7 pushes the connection probe 62 to keep close to the contact block 4, so that the connection between the connection probe 62 and the contact block 4 is stable and reliable. When the connection rod 9 controls the end of the seesaw 5 to move away from the contact block 4, the first spring 7 returns to its original state, pushing the connection probe 62 to drive the guide rod 61 to slide, so that the probe assembly 6 as a whole returns to its original state, and the stopper 63 plays a role in limiting the movement of the guide rod 61 to prevent the guide rod 61 from separating from the seesaw 5.
[0048] Furthermore, the first spring 7 is sleeved on the guide rod 61. This structural design can effectively enhance the expansion and contraction stability of the first spring 7, thereby making the contact connection between the connection probe 62 and the contact block 4 more stable and reliable, and improving practicality.
[0049] Embodiment 3:
[0050] This embodiment provides a switch for an automobile, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0051] Furthermore, the button 8 also includes:
[0052] A mounting groove 82, wherein the mounting groove 82 is disposed at the bottom of the button 8, and the connecting rod 9 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 82;
[0053] The second spring 10 is disposed in the mounting groove 82 and axially abuts between the connecting rod 9 and the mounting groove 82 .
[0054] In the present technical solution, when the connecting rod 9 is driven to push the seesaw 5 to swing by pressing one end of the button 8, the connecting probe 62 is in contact with the contact block 4 to turn on the circuit. At the same time, the second spring 10 is squeezed by the connecting rod 9 and the mounting groove 82 and is compressed to exert elastic force on the connecting rod 9, so that the connecting rod 9 is stably in contact with the seesaw 5, thereby making the connecting probe 62 stably and reliably in contact with the contact block 4. When the circuit needs to be disconnected, the button 8 is released, and the elastic force generated by the second spring 10 drives the connecting rod 9 back to the initial position to keep it still, thereby resetting the button 8.
[0055] Furthermore, the connecting rod 9 further includes a positioning column 91, which is disposed on the end of the connecting rod 9 located in the mounting groove 82, and the second spring 10 is sleeved on the positioning column 91. This structural design enhances the telescopic stability of the second spring 10, making the pressing and resetting of the button 8 more sensitive and reliable, reducing the probability of switch failure, increasing the service life of the switch, and improving practicality.

[0060] Embodiment 5:
[0061] This embodiment provides a switch for an automobile, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0062] Furthermore, a drainage groove 22 is provided on the installation cover plate 2 .
[0063] In the present technical solution, a drainage groove 22 is provided on the mounting cover plate 2, and the bottom surface of the drainage groove 22 is inclined. With this structural design, when liquid enters the mounting cover plate 2, it will be isolated by the protective sleeve 11, and the isolated liquid will be discharged to the outside of the switch through the drainage groove 22, thereby further enhancing the waterproof performance of the switch, improving the safety of use, and extending the service life.
