Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive switch accessories, in particular to an automotive door control switch. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the automotive industry and the progress of technology, automotive door control switches have evolved from traditional single-function devices to multi-functional control devices that integrate multiple functions. These functions typically include, but are not limited to, unlocking or closing the door, raising or lowering the window, adjusting the rearview mirror, and heating the rearview mirror. The emergence of multi-functional door control switches has greatly simplified the operation process inside the vehicle and enhanced the user experience.
[0003] However, some existing automotive door control switches still have certain limitations in design, especially in terms of waterproof performance. Since automotive door control switches are usually installed on the door, changes in the internal and external environments of the door may cause moisture to enter the switch, which can then affect the internal circuit board and other precision components. Once moisture enters the switch and comes into contact with the electronic components, it may cause problems such as short circuits and corrosion, ultimately affecting the normal function of the switch or even causing the switch to malfunction.
[0004] Most automotive door control switches on the market currently mainly rely on sealing designs to prevent moisture from entering. However, there is a lack of effective means to deal with the moisture that has already entered the switch panel. Once moisture enters the switch panel, it is relatively difficult to remove or handle it in a timely manner. During the process of waiting for the moisture to naturally dry and evaporate or flow out through the gaps, there may be potential safety hazards.
[0005] In view of the above problems, developing an automotive door control switch that can prevent moisture from entering while effectively removing the moisture that has entered the switch panel has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The utility model provides an automotive door control switch with a reasonable structural design, good waterproof performance, and a water absorption function, which solves the above problems existing in the prior art during use.
[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows: An automotive door control switch includes a switch panel, a switch housing, and a base arranged from top to bottom. The switch housing covers the base. A circuit board assembly is provided inside the switch housing. Several control buttons for electrically connecting with the circuit board assembly are provided on the upper side of the switch housing. The switch panel covers the upper side of the switch housing. A control opening for exposing the control buttons is provided on the switch panel. Several water diversion grooves are provided on the upper side of the switch housing, and the water diversion grooves converge to the middle of the upper side of the switch housing. An insertion opening is provided in the middle of the switch panel, and a water absorption component located in the middle of the upper side of the switch housing is detachably inserted into the insertion opening.
[0008] Preferably, the middle part of the switch housing is lower than its left and right sides. There is a water storage tank in the middle part of the switch housing. The left and right sides of the switch housing include button mounting seats higher than the water storage tank, and the control buttons are located on the button mounting seats.
[0009] Preferably, a button through-hole for the control button to pass through and connect with the circuit board assembly is provided on the upper side of the button mounting seat, and a surrounding frame protruding upward is fixedly connected to the edge of each button through-hole on the mounting seat.
[0010] Preferably, the water guiding trough surrounds each of the surrounding frames, and the water guiding trough leads to the water storage tank.
[0011] Preferably, two water absorbing components are provided and are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the water storage tank, and two sockets are correspondingly provided on the switch panel.
[0012] Preferably, the water absorbing component includes a socket, a water absorbing sponge and a pinch handle. The water absorbing sponge is fixedly connected to the lower side of the socket, the pinch handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the socket, the socket is used to be inserted into the socket, and the lower end of the water absorbing sponge abuts against the bottom of the water storage tank.
