Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switch handles, in particular to an anti-static structure of a switch handle. Background Art

[0002] The human body is charged with static electricity due to various reasons (such as static electricity generated by friction between sweaters). When touching the switch components on the car, the static electricity release may cause electrostatic breakdown of the components on the switch, resulting in functional failures. The car switch needs to be designed to prevent static electricity to protect electronic components. Currently, there are two conventional solutions: 1. Add a jumper on the PCB to connect to the nearest metal part. 2. Weld a reed (spring) on the PCB to connect to the nearest metal part. Both of the above solutions require additional conductors, and additional welding parts or assembly are required, increasing the process risk. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an anti-static structure of a switch handle, which uses an electroplated part to guide static electricity. The electroplated part is directly in contact with the static electricity potential of the circuit board, and then the static electricity is released to the outside through the ground wire.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model: An anti-static structure of a switch handle, including a handle shell and an internal circuit board.

The internal circuit board is also connected to the ground wire.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the electroplated part is used to guide static electricity, and the electroplated part is directly in contact with the static electricity potential of the circuit board. When in use, the human hand touches the electroplated part of the handle shell, and the handle shell releases static electricity to the static electricity potential of the internal circuit board.

Specifically, a pair of hooks 42 distributed diagonally are provided at the upper end of the mounting shell 4. An angular notch 22 capable of accommodating the hook rod part 421 of the hook 42 is provided on the edge of the internal circuit board 2.

The mounting shell 4 has positioning parts 44 that can be respectively inserted into the two positioning notches 25. The positioning part 44 is composed of two spaced insertion feet 441. Specifically, the mounting shell 4 has a connecting plate 4a, a mounting part 4b integrally provided above the connecting plate 4a, and an extension tube 4c integrally provided below the connecting plate 4a.
