Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of switch technology, and particularly to an anti-misoperation seat switch for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electric vehicles, to ensure the safe use of electric vehicles and prevent children from accidentally turning the switch on the handlebar of the electric vehicle to start it, a switch is usually provided under the seat of the electric vehicle. When people sit on the electric vehicle, the switch senses the weight and then powers on the electric vehicle, after which it can be started normally. The common switch for electric vehicles is to install multiple (about ten) circular pressure sensors on an installation strip. Each pressure sensor is connected by wires, and the formed pressure sensing strip is connected to the battery of the electric vehicle, so that the pressure sensing strip controls whether the battery powers on the electric vehicle. Finally, the pressure sensing strip is installed under the seat. However, it is found in use that the pressure sensing strip has a high cost and a short service life, and needs to be improved.

[0005] An anti-misoperation seat switch for electric vehicles includes a switch base, a switch cover movably arranged on the switch base, and a return spring arranged on the switch base. One end of the return spring is connected to the switch base, and the other end faces the switch cover. The return spring keeps the switch cover away from the switch base. A switch for connecting to the battery is provided on the switch base. The switch base is used to be installed under the seat. When the user sits on the seat, the switch cover approaches the switch base and triggers the switch to power on the battery.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, a switch base is provided and a switch cover is installed on the switch base. The switch base is installed under the seat of the electric vehicle, and the switch cover is movably connected to the switch base.

[0015] Optionally, a torsion spring is provided at the hinge point of the switch base and the switch cover, and the torsion spring drives the switch cover to abut against the return spring.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the torsion spring is provided to make the switch cover receive a force in the direction close to the switch base, thereby preventing the switch cover from being pushed out excessively by the return spring and keeping the switch cover in a slightly open state.

[0017] Optionally, the switch is a mechanical switch. When the switch cover moves down to abut against and press the mechanical switch, the mechanical switch is turned on to energize the battery. When the switch cover is reset, the mechanical switch is reset to disconnect, thereby cutting off the power supply of the battery.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user sits on the seat cushion, the switch cover is pressed downward by the pressure to press the mechanical switch, and the mechanical switch is in the on state to energize the battery. When the user leaves the seat cushion, the switch cover is reset under the action of the spring, and the mechanical switch is reset at the same time, thereby cutting off the power supply of the battery. Moreover, the mechanical switch is relatively common, economical and practical, and can reduce costs.

[0019] Optionally, connection blocks are provided at both ends of the switch base, and connection holes for installation are provided on the connection blocks. The switch base is installed under the seat cushion of the electric vehicle through the connection blocks.

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the anti-misoperation seat switch for electric vehicles includes a switch base 1, a switch cover 2 hinged to the switch base 1, and a return spring 3 installed on the switch base 1. One end of the return spring 3 is connected to the switch base 1, and the other end faces the switch cover 2. The return spring 3 keeps the switch cover 2 away from the switch base 1.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a switch 4 is installed on the switch base 1, a connecting wire 5 is installed on the switch base 1, the connecting wire 5 connects the switch 4 and the battery, and the switch base 1 is used to be installed under the seat cushion. When the user sits on the seat cushion, the switch cover 2 approaches the switch base 1 and triggers the switch 4 to energize the battery. When the switch cover 2 rotates to approach the switch base 1, the end of the switch cover 2 abuts against the return spring 3. A receiving groove 6 is formed on the switch base 1, and the receiving groove 6 is for accommodating the return spring 3. One end of the return spring 3 is accommodated in the receiving groove 6, and the outer wall of the return spring 3 abuts against the groove wall of the receiving groove 6.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , there are two receiving grooves 6 and two return springs 3 respectively. The receiving grooves 6 are located on both sides of the switch 4, and the receiving grooves 6 and the return springs 3 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The distances from the two return springs 3 to the hinge joint of the switch base 1 and the switch cover are the same. A torsion spring 7 is installed on the switch base 1, and the torsion spring 7 is located at the hinge joint of the switch base 1 and the switch cover 2. The torsion spring 7 urges the switch cover 2 to abut against the return spring 3. The switch 4 is a mechanical switch. When the switch cover 2 moves downwards to abut against and press the mechanical switch, the mechanical switch is turned on to energize the battery. When the switch cover 2 resets, the mechanical switch resets to disconnect, thereby cutting off the power supply of the battery.

[0037] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a socket protrusion 11 is fixed on the side of the switch cover 2 close to the switch base 1, and the socket protrusion 11 is for the return spring 3 to be socketed. The cooperation of the return spring 3 and the torsion spring 7 keeps the switch cover 2 in a slightly open state.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 andFigure 3 There are drainage holes 8 provided on the switch base 1. There are two drainage holes 8, one is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 6, and the other is located on the bottom wall of the switch base 1. Connecting blocks 9 are integrally fixed at both ends of the switch base 1. Connecting holes 10 for installation are provided on the connecting blocks 9. The switch base 1 is installed under the seat cushion of the electric vehicle through the connecting blocks 9.

[0039] The implementation principle of an anti-misoperation seat switch for an electric vehicle in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: A switch base 1 is provided and a switch cover 2 is installed on the switch base 1. The switch base 1 is installed under the seat cushion of the electric vehicle, and the switch cover 2 is movably connected to the switch base 1. When the user sits on the seat cushion, the switch cover 2 is forced to move in the direction close to the switch base 1 until the switch cover 2 triggers the switch 4 to energize the battery. This anti-misoperation seat switch for an electric vehicle is simple to manufacture, only requiring the production of a box and the installation of a spring and a switch 4 inside the box, with low cost and easy installation. Compared with common pressure sensing strips, this anti-misoperation seat switch for an electric vehicle has a better service life and also has a waterproof function.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
