When an emergency occurs to the user in the vehicle and the inner door cannot be opened through the electric control switch 22, the user can quickly find the pressing end 211 arranged on the outer periphery of the triggering portion 221, so that the user can open the inner door through the mechanical switch, saving the time for the user to find the mechanical handle. Moreover, since the pressing end 211 uses a pressing method to make the abutting end 212 push the second slider 31, and drives the cable 32 through the second slider 31 to open the inner door, its unlocking method and the electric control unlocking method are both unlocking by pressing, with the same operation method, which is convenient for the user to use and increases the convenience of use.

[0035] In one embodiment, the upper cover 11 has a first cavity 112, the bottom cover 12 has a second cavity 121, the first cavity 112 and the second cavity 121 communicate with each other and enclose a receiving cavity 13. The second slider 31 is slidably arranged in the second cavity 121, the first slider 21 is located in the first cavity 112, and the abutting end 212 extends into the second cavity 121 to abut against the second slider 31. Press the pressing end 211 to make the abutting end 212 move towards the second cavity 121 and push the second slider 31 to slide in the second cavity 121. In this embodiment, the receiving cavity 13 is formed by enclosing the first cavity 112 and the second cavity 121. The first cavity 112 and the second cavity 121 communicate with each other. The second slider 31 is slidably arranged in the second cavity 121, the first slider 21 is located in the first cavity 112, and the abutting end 212 of the first slider 21 extends from the first cavity 112 into the second cavity 121 and abuts against the second slider 31. After the user presses the pressing end 211, the abutting end 212 moves towards the second cavity 121, so that the abutting end 212 pushes the second slider 31 to move in the second cavity 121, thereby making the second slider 31 pull the cable 32 to realize the unlocking of the inner door. By arranging the second slider 31 in the second cavity 121, the width of the second cavity 121 can be designed to be the same as the width of the second slider 31. During the sliding process of the second slider 31, the second slider 31 moves along the length direction of the second cavity 121, so that the inner wall of the second cavity 121 plays a role in guiding and limiting the second slider 31.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4, the first slider 21 includes a block body 213 and two sliding portions 214 connected to both sides of the block body 213. One end of the block body 213 away from the sliding portions 214 forms a pressing end 211. One end of each sliding portion 214 away from the block body 213 forms an abutting end 212. The abutting end 212 forms a first inclined surface 2121. The second slider 31 forms a second inclined surface 311. The first inclined surface 2121 abuts against the second inclined surface 311. In this embodiment, the block body 213 is located above the two sliding portions 214. The top end of the block body 213 forms the pressing end 211. An arc-shaped groove can be provided on the pressing end 211 for the user to press conveniently. The bottom end of the sliding portion 214 forms the abutting end 212. The abutting end 212 forms the first inclined surface 2121. The second slider 31 forms the second inclined surface 311. When the user presses the pressing end 211, the two sliding portions 214 move downward and the first inclined surface 2121 pushes the second inclined surface 311 abutting against it, so that the second slider 31 moves in the second cavity 121 to pull the cable 32. It can be understood that the cable 32 can have an elastic force. When the user releases the pressing end 211, the cable can rely on its own elastic force to pull the second slider 31 to slide in the second cavity 121, so that the second inclined surface 311 of the second slider 31 pushes the first inclined surface 2121 of the pressing end 211 to move, so that the first slider 21 is reset.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , a convex block 312 is formed on the second inclined surface 311. Steps 313 are formed at the joints of both sides of the convex block 312 and the second inclined surface 311. The two first inclined surfaces 2121 are respectively arranged close to the two steps 313. In this embodiment, the convex block 312 separates the two second inclined surfaces 311. Steps 313 are formed at the joints of both sides of the convex block 312 and the second inclined surface 311, which can play a certain guiding role when the first inclined surface 2121 pushes the second inclined surface 311 to move the second slider 31. The convex block 312 is clamped between the two sliding portions 214, which can prevent the two sliding portions 214 from tilting during the downward movement, and the structure is reasonably arranged.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 4, on one side of the sliding part 214 facing the upper cover 11, a guiding block 2122 is formed. At the position of the upper cover 11 corresponding to the guiding block 2122, a guiding groove 113 is formed. The guiding block 2122 extends into the corresponding guiding groove 113, and the guiding block 2122 is used to slide along the guiding groove 113. In this embodiment, the guiding groove 113 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the upper cover 11. By extending the guiding block 2122 into the guiding groove 113, when the sliding part 214 is moving, it can move along the extending direction of the guiding groove 113, ensuring that the sliding part 214 can move smoothly and increasing the reliability of the integrated inner door switch 100 in this embodiment.

[0039] In one embodiment, two sliding parts 214 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the electric control switch 22, and a through opening 2111 is formed between the two sliding parts 214. In this embodiment, the two sliding parts 214 are respectively arranged on both sides of the electric control switch 22, which can make the electric control switch 22 located between the two sliding parts 214, making reasonable use of the space between the two sliding parts 214. The through opening 2111 is arranged between the two sliding parts 214, facilitating the trigger part 221 of the electric control switch 22 to be arranged corresponding to the through opening 2111. In other embodiments, the electric control switch 22 can also be arranged side by side with the two sliding parts 214, and the through opening 2111 can be formed outside the two sliding parts 214 and arranged corresponding to the trigger part 221 of the electric control switch 22. This specification does not limit this.

[0040] In one embodiment, the electric control switch 22 includes a mounting seat 221 and a trigger button 222 which are connected to each other.
