Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automotive push switch with consistent feel, belonging to the technical field of automotive switches. Background Art

[0002] Automotive push-operated switches generally use rib grooves for guidance. For touchless panel switches or switches with relatively large length and width dimensions of the operating components, when the pressing point deviates from the center of the pressing point, it is easy to get stuck or malfunction. For example, for a touchless panel switch, multiple functional pressing points are provided on the touch panel, and it outputs signals through two operations of touching and pressing to perform function recognition. Due to limited space inside the switch, only a single resilient member with a resilience of 3 - 4N is provided below the pressing component. When the human operation is improper and the edge of the touch panel is pressed, the pressing resilience will be affected, resulting in jamming or pressing malfunction. For switches with relatively large length and width dimensions of the operating components, the larger the length and width dimensions of the operating component, the larger the rib groove matching and guiding dimensions required in the height direction. At this time, for the distal end of the key operation, the guiding dimensions are insufficient in the limited space. However, when the edge of the pressing point is pressed, the operating performance will also be affected, and even the pressing function cannot be achieved. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automotive push switch with consistent feel to at least solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An automotive push switch with consistent feel includes a base and a pressing component arranged on the top surface of the base. A loop movement component corresponding to each pressing point of the pressing component, a resilient member, and a circuit board are arranged in the base below the loop movement component.

[0006] Further, the base includes a housing composed of a bottom plate and a bracket arranged on the upper part of the bottom plate. The circuit board and the resilient member are arranged inside the housing; a groove is provided on the top surface of the bracket, and a plurality of first pressing columns corresponding to each pressing point of the pressing component are arranged in the groove.

[0007] Further, the pressing component includes a touch panel with multiple pressing points. A gear pressing block is arranged on the bottom surface of the touch panel, and the touch panel and the gear pressing block are connected through a snap structure; the outer shape of the gear pressing block is adapted to the groove of the bracket, and a plurality of second pressing columns opposite to the positions of the first pressing columns are arranged on the bottom surface of the gear pressing block. The gear pressing block is inserted into the groove of the bracket and is connected through a snap structure.

[0008] Further, the loop motion component includes one or more U-shaped loops corresponding to the pressing points of the touch panel, and the size specifications and layout structures of multiple U-shaped loops can be set in various ways according to the types of pressing switches.

[0009] Further, a connecting plate is provided on the bottom surface of the gear position pressing block, an open-type clamping groove is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate, a connecting seat corresponding to the connecting plate is provided in the bracket groove, and an installation hole is provided on the connecting seat. Both ends of the U-shaped loop are clamped in the open-type clamping groove on the connecting plate, and the bottom is inserted through the installation hole of the connecting seat and rotatably connected thereto.

[0010] Further, the connecting plates are arranged in pairs around the edge of the bottom surface of the gear position pressing block and correspond to the positions of the pressing points of the touch panel.

Specific embodiments

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] As Figures 1-5 shown, the first embodiment of the present utility model provides an automotive push switch with consistent feel, including a base 1 and a pressing component 2 provided on the top surface of the base 1. A loop motion component 3 corresponding to each pressing point of the pressing component 2 one by one, and a resilient component 4 and a circuit board 5 provided below the loop motion component 3 are provided in the base 1. When in use, pressing any position of the pressing component 2 can drive the pressing component 2 to move as a whole by the loop motion component 3, touch the circuit board 5 to generate an electrical signal, and then the pressing component 2 is reset under the action of the resilient component 4.

[0025] The base 1 includes a housing composed of a bottom plate 101 and a bracket 102 provided on the upper part of the bottom plate 101. The bracket 102 and the bottom plate 101 can be connected to each other by bolts or a snap structure. The circuit board 5 and the resilient component 4 are provided in the housing. A groove is provided on the top surface of the bracket 102, and a plurality of first pressing columns 103 corresponding to each pressing point of the pressing component 2 are provided in the groove.

[0026] The pressing component 2 includes a touch panel 201 with multiple pressing points. A blocking press block 202 is provided on the bottom surface of the touch panel 201. The touch panel 201 and the blocking press block 202 can be connected through a snap structure. The outer shape of the blocking press block 202 is adapted to the groove of the bracket 102, and a plurality of second pressing columns 203 corresponding to the positions of the first pressing columns 103 are provided on the bottom surface of the blocking press block 202. The blocking press block 202 is inserted into the groove of the bracket 102 and connected through a snap structure.

[0027] The loop movement component 3 includes one or more U-shaped loops corresponding to the pressing points of the touch panel 201. The size specifications and layout structures of the multiple U-shaped loops can be set in a variety of ways according to the types of pressing switches, such as being arranged in a cross structure, an oblique cross structure, a parallel structure, a triangle, a rectangle and other structures. A connecting plate 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the blocking press block 202. An open slot 601 is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 6. A connecting seat 7 corresponding to the connecting plate 6 is provided in the groove of the bracket 102. An installation hole 701 is provided on the connecting seat 7. The bent parts at both ends of the U-shaped loop are clamped in the open slot 601 on the connecting plate, and the bottom is inserted through the installation hole 701 of the connecting seat and rotatably connected thereto.

[0028] The connecting plates 6 are arranged in pairs around the edge of the bottom surface of the blocking press block 202 and correspond to the positions of the pressing points of the touch panel 201.

[0029] The connecting seat 7 is formed by splicing an inverted L-shaped structure and a positive L-shaped structure. The installation hole 701 is a staggered open hook groove provided between the two L-shaped structures. This structure is more convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the U-shaped loop and has good connection reliability.

[0030] The U-shaped loop is made of stainless steel.

[0031] Taking the non-point touch panel switch as an example, a cross-shaped U-shaped loop is arranged in the non-point touch panel switch. Its working principle and process are specifically as follows:

[0032] Apply force to press at the pressing point a of the touch panel 201. The bending part w1-1 of the U-shaped loop w1 near the force application point rotates downward in the corresponding longitudinal direction. Since the U-shaped loop w1 is a rigid member, the bending part w1-2 at the other end rotates downward, so that the distal end b of the pressing point a of the touch panel 201 also moves downward, and then the gear pressing block 202 generates a downward movement in the overall longitudinal direction of the loop. Similarly, the U-shaped loop w2 in the corresponding transverse direction causes the gear pressing block 202 to generate an overall movement in the other direction. Finally, through the combined action of the U-shaped loop w1 and the U-shaped loop w2, pressing any position on the surface of the touch panel 201 can effectively make the gear pressing block 202 move downward as a whole. When the gear pressing block 202 moves downward, the first pressing column 203 moves downward in sequence to touch the opposite second pressing column 103 and the circuit board 5, and then under the action of the elastic member 4, the pressing member 2 is reset, and it combines the touch signal and the pressing signal to send corresponding function control instructions.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of confidentiality restrictions on the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical content of the present invention and without departing from the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
