[0020] Embodiment:

[0021] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention discloses an adjustable steering switch, which includes a steering housing 1, a steering assembly 2 located inside the steering housing 1, and a button 3 rotatably arranged on the upper side of the steering housing 1 and linked with the steering assembly 2. A connecting contact 23 is provided at the lower end of the steering assembly 2 and passes through the steering housing 1. The connecting contact 23 can connect the steering assembly 2 and the main circuit of the vehicle through a flexible cable. The flexible cable needs to have enough length to allow the steering housing 1 to adjust its position. The above part of the steering assembly 2 is common knowledge in the art, so it will not be described in detail. The present invention is detachably sleeved with a fixed housing 4 outside the steering housing 1. Among them, the steering housing 1 can be adjusted up and down relative to the fixed housing 4, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the steering housing 1 on the fixed housing 4 is provided between the steering housing 1 and the fixed housing 4.

[0022] Specifically, the fixed housing 4 includes a front half shell 41 and a rear half shell 42. The front half shell 41 and the rear half shell 42 are detachably connected. The fixing mechanism includes a limit convex ring 11 integrally formed in a ring shape on the outer side wall of the steering housing 1. Four such limit convex rings 11 are arranged on the steering housing 1 from bottom to top. The fixing mechanism also includes a limit groove 43 opened on the inner side wall of the fixed housing 4. The limit groove 43 is used for the limit convex ring 11 to be in clearance fit therein. Four limit grooves 43 are arranged on the inner side walls of the front half shell 41 and the rear half shell 42 from bottom to top.

[0023] When the steering housing 1 of the present utility model is installed on the fixed housing 4, first separate the front half housing 41 and the rear half housing 42 of the fixed housing 4. Then, the user can adjust the steering housing 1 to the required position between the front half housing 41 and the rear half housing 42 according to their usage needs. Note that the limit convex ring 11 of the steering housing 1 at this position is snapped into the limit groove 43 between the front half housing 41 and the rear half housing 42. Then fix the front half housing 41 and the rear half housing 42, and finally fix the fixed housing 4 of the present utility model in the combination switch housing to complete the installation. That is to say, by fitting and installing the limit convex ring 11 into different limit grooves 43, the position of the steering housing 1 relative to the fixed housing 4 can be adjusted. Therefore, the steering housing 1 changes its relative position on the combination switch housing. In addition, the structure for fixing the fixed housing 4 into the combination switch housing can be a snap or a screw fixation, etc. The specific structure can be set according to the specific structure of the combination switch housing.

The first fixing plates 411 and the second fixing plates 421 overlap and are fixedly connected by screws 44.

[0025] In the present utility model, the specific structure of the linkage setting between the button 3 and the steering assembly 2 is as follows: the steering assembly 2 includes a lever 21 extending upward, and a connecting sleeve 31 integrally formed on the inner side of the button 3 is sleeved on the lever 21. Further, a positioning groove 22 is axially formed on the lever 21, and a positioning bar 32 for inserting into the positioning groove 22 is provided in the connecting sleeve 31. This structural design is stable and reliable, and the button 3 can well control the steering assembly 2 through the lever 21.

[0026] Further, the specific structure of the button 3 rotatably arranged on the upper side of the steering housing 1 is as follows: on the upper positions of the front and rear sides of the steering housing 1, there are rotating columns 12, and a rotating opening 33 matching the rotating columns 12 is formed on the button 3. The button 3 is rotatably arranged on the steering housing 1 through the rotational cooperation of the rotating columns 12 and the rotating opening 33.

[0027] In addition, in order to enhance the structural strength of the button 3, several reinforcing ribs 34 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting sleeve 31 on the inner side of the button 3.

[0028] It should also be noted that the terms used in the present utility model, such as "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model.
