[0028] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0030] The key structure and vehicle disclosed in the present invention are described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, a key structure provided by one embodiment of the utility model includes a key body 1 and a shell 2, a receiving cavity 21 is formed on the shell 2, the key body 1 is arranged in the receiving cavity 21, and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 21, so that the key body 1 can slide toward the electric control board 3 and contact the electric control board 3, or slide away from the electric control board 3 and disconnect from the electric control board 3.

[0032] That is to say, external force directly pressing the key body 1 can make the key body 1 slide relative to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The key body 1 can slide toward the electric control board 3 and contact the electric control board 3 to make the electric control board 3 start working, and can also slide away from the electric control board 3 and disconnect from the electric control board 3 to make the electric control board 3 stop working. The key body 1 is a separate structure that directly cooperates with the outer shell 2, which can simplify the number of parts, reduce the assembly steps, make the structure compact, and reduce the size chain, improve the stability of power transmission, avoid problems such as abnormal noise and shaking, and improve the user experience. Furthermore, the key structure disclosed in the present invention can also reduce development costs while improving product quality stability.

[0033] In a specific implementation, multiple accommodating cavities 21 can be provided on the housing 2, and correspondingly multiple key bodies 1 can be provided. This configuration can make the structure compact and not occupy too much space. Of course, the number of accommodating cavities 21 and key bodies 1 can also be single, and this disclosure does not limit this, and can be specifically configured according to actual needs.

[0034] In some embodiments, a sliding groove 11 is provided on one of the outer wall of the key body 1 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, extending along the sliding direction of the key body 1, and a rib 22 is provided on the other of the outer wall of the key body 1 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The rib 22 is slidably set in the sliding groove 11. That is, the sliding groove 11 can be set on the key body 1 or on the accommodating cavity 21, and the rib 22 can be set on the accommodating cavity 21 or on the key body 1. Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] It is understandable that the chute 11 is extended along the sliding direction of the key body 1, so that the rib 22 can slide in the chute 11, and then the key body 1 can slide relative to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. Specifically, the rib 22 is extended along the sliding direction of the key body 1, which can increase the contact area between the rib 22 and the chute 11 and improve the quality stability of the product. Specifically, the rib 22 is adapted to the shape of the chute 11 to avoid shaking and abnormal noise. When implementing it, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the end of the slide groove 11 away from the electronic control board 3 is a closed end to limit the sliding of the key body 1 and avoid damaging the electronic control board 3 due to excessive pressing force.

[0036] In specific implementation, there are multiple sliding grooves 11 and multiple ribs 22, and the multiple ribs 22 are arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 at intervals along the circumferential direction. The multiple sliding grooves 11 and the multiple ribs 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to ensure that the key body 1 can slide smoothly.

[0037] In some embodiments, multiple ribs 22 are arranged at different positions on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, or the distances between each adjacent rib 22 are different. The shape of one rib 22 among the multiple ribs 22 is different from the shapes of the other ribs 22, and the installation direction of the key body 1 can be determined by the ribs 22 of different shapes to improve the installation efficiency.

[0038] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the key body 1 and the accommodating cavity 21 is rectangular, and both the key body 1 and the accommodating cavity 21 have long sides arranged relative to each other along the first direction and short sides arranged relative to each other along the second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular, and there are four slide grooves 11 and convex ribs 22, which are respectively distributed on the four wall surfaces of the key body 1 and the accommodating cavity 21, that is, the slide grooves 11 and the convex ribs 22 are provided on the two opposite side surfaces, so that the key body 1 and the accommodating cavity 21 can be subjected to uniform force, thereby ensuring the stability of the key body 1 when sliding.

[0039] Specifically, the slide groove 11 and the convex rib 22 are distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner, that is, the shapes of the slide groove 11 and the convex rib 22 distributed along the first direction of the key body 1 and the accommodating cavity 21 are the same, but different from the shapes of the slide groove 11 and the convex rib 22 distributed along the second direction. By judging the positions of the slide groove 11 and the convex rib 22, the long side of the key body 1 and the long side of the accommodating cavity 21, and the short side of the key body 1 and the short side of the accommodating cavity 21 can be corresponded, and then the installation direction of the key body 1 can be judged, and the installation can be completed in one operation.

[0040] In specific implementation, a thickening portion 27 can be set at the bottom of one of the ribs 22, and the thickening portion 27 is set on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The thickening portion 27 has a certain thickness. One of the multiple ribs 22 is set on the thickening portion 27, which can make the height of the rib 22 higher than the height of the remaining ribs 22, thereby being able to distinguish the rib 22 from the remaining ribs 22, and the shape of the corresponding slide groove 11 is adapted to the common shape of the rib 22 and the thickening portion 27, thereby being able to ensure the stability of the sliding connection between the key body 1 and the shell 2.

[0041] Of course, it should be noted that the shapes of the slide groove 11 and the rib 22 can also be other structures or other arrangements, which can be specifically set according to actual conditions. The present disclosure does not limit this, as long as the rib 22 can be slidably set in the slide groove 11 and the installation direction can be determined by the slide groove 11 and the rib 22.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a buckle 23 is provided on the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity 21, and a locking groove 12 is provided on the outer side wall of the key body 1. The buckle 23 is locked in the locking groove 12 to prevent the key body 1 from falling out of the accommodating cavity 21. Of course, the buckle 23 can also be provided on the outer side wall of the key body 1, and the locking groove 12 can also be provided on the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity 21. This disclosure is not limited to this, as long as the key body 1 can be prevented from falling out of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0043] Furthermore, a guide slope is formed on the side of the latch 23 facing away from the electronic control board 3. This slope gradually moves away from the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 as it moves toward the electronic control board 3. In other words, when an external force is applied to the key body 1, the latch 12 can gradually release the latch 23 along the slope, sliding toward the electronic control board 3 and contacting it. After the external force is removed, the key body 1 can further slide away from the electronic control board 3 and disconnect from it.

[0044] Of course, it should be noted that the key body 1 can also be fixed in the accommodating cavity 21 in other ways, and the present disclosure does not limit this, as long as the key body 1 can slide relative to the accommodating cavity 21 to contact or disconnect with the electronic control board 3, and can prevent it from escaping from the accommodating cavity 21.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the key structure of the present disclosure further includes an elastic member 4, which is elastically supported between the key body 1 and the electronic control board 3. It is understood that when an external force is applied to the key body 1, the key body 1 can compress the elastic member 4, causing it to slide toward and contact the electronic control board 3. After the external force is removed, the elastic member 4 can recover its deformation, causing the key body 1 to rebound, sliding away from and disconnecting from the electronic control board 3. Specifically, the elastic member 4 can be a conductive elastic rubber member to ensure that the electronic control board 3 can start or stop operation as needed.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the key body 1 includes a guide portion 13 and a sealing flange 14. The guide portion 13 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 21. The sealing flange 14 is provided at the periphery of the guide portion 13 away from the electronic control board 3 to seal the end of the accommodating cavity 21, preventing water and dust from entering the accommodating cavity 21 and ensuring the product's service life. Specifically, a slide groove 11 is provided on the guide portion 13. The end of the guide portion 13 away from the electronic control board 3 forms a pressing surface for applying a pressing force to the guide portion 13, thereby enabling the guide portion 13 to slide relative to the housing 2.

[0047] In a specific implementation, a first flange 24 is provided at the periphery of the port of the accommodating cavity 21, and the sealing flange 14 is spaced apart from the guide portion 13 to form a first insertion gap between the sealing flange 14 and the guide portion 13, and the first flange 24 is inserted into the first insertion gap. In other words, the first flange 24 and the sealing flange 14 are at least partially overlapped, which lengthens the path for water or dust to enter the accommodating cavity 21, thereby achieving sealing. Specifically, during the pressing process of the key body 1, the first flange 24 slides in the first insertion gap. The length of the first insertion gap along the sliding direction of the key body 1 is set according to the length of the slide groove 11 according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Specifically, the first flange 24 and the first insertion gap are clearance-matched to reduce sliding friction and ensure smooth sliding of the key body 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the key structure further includes a decorative strip 5, which is disposed on the housing 2. When the key body 1 is disconnected from the electronic control board 3, the decorative strip 5 is flush with the surface of the decorative strip 5. That is, in the initial state, the key body 1 is flush with the surface of the decorative strip 5 to ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance. When the key body 1 is pressed, it slides toward the electronic control board 3, and the surface of the key body 1 is recessed downward relative to the surface of the decorative strip 5.

[0049] In a specific implementation, a second flange 25 is provided on the periphery of the first flange 24, and the second flange 25 and the first flange 24 are spaced apart to form a second insertion gap between the second flange 25 and the first flange 24, and the sealing flange 14 is inserted into the second insertion gap. In other words, the second flange 25 and the sealing flange 14 are at least partially overlapped, further lengthening the path for water or dust to enter the accommodating cavity 21, thereby achieving a seal. Specifically, when the key body 1 is pressed, the sealing flange 14 slides in the second insertion gap. The length of the second insertion gap along the sliding direction of the key body 1 is set according to the length of the slide groove 11 according to actual needs, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0050] Furthermore, a third flange 26 is provided on the periphery of the second flange 25, and the third flange 26 and the second flange 25 are spaced apart to form a third insertion gap between the third flange 26 and the second flange 25, and the decorative strip 5 is inserted in the third insertion gap. In specific implementation, abutment ribs are provided on the surfaces approaching the second flange 25 and the third flange 26 to enhance the installation strength of the decorative strip 5 inserted in the third insertion gap, avoid falling off, and ensure product stability.
