[0035] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they may change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0041] As mentioned in the background of this application, micro switches, as precise and reliable electrical components, are particularly widely used in the automotive industry. With their rapid response and precise operation, these switches have become an indispensable component of modern automotive electronic control systems. Within vehicles, due to space constraints and the need for convenient operation, micro switches are often installed in an exposed position. This not only saves space but also allows the switch to interact more directly with the triggering mechanism, improving overall system efficiency.

[0042] However, this exposed installation method also makes the micro switch prone to accidental activation. Once an accidental activation occurs, the micro switch may be mistakenly activated or deactivated, causing its original function to fail. This not only affects the normal use of certain specific functions of the car, but in serious cases, it may even affect driving safety.

[0043] In view of this, the present invention provides a microswitch device for a vehicle and a vehicle. The microswitch device includes a trigger device, a microswitch, and a protective cover. The trigger device is used to trigger the microswitch. The microswitch is provided with a trigger portion that cooperates with the trigger device. The protective cover can be placed over the microswitch to protect it. At the same time, the protective cover can also expose the trigger portion, allowing the trigger device to directly trigger the microswitch. This not only protects the normal use of the microswitch but also reduces the probability of accidental activation of the microswitch.

[0044] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large automobile, a small car, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, based on the vehicle type, the vehicle in this application may be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other vehicle types. A vehicle generally has wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle.

[0045] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the type of vehicle power source is not limited. For example, for a fuel-powered vehicle, the power source may refer to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or other fuel-powered engine; for an electric vehicle, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; and for a vehicle powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.

[0046] The specific structure of the micro switch device of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the micro switch device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the micro switch device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the micro switch device 10 of this embodiment includes: a mounting base 100 , a micro switch 200 , a trigger device 300 and a protective cover 400 .

[0049] The mounting base 100 serves as a base for carrying the micro switch 200 and the trigger device 300 and is used to mount and fix the micro switch 200 and the trigger device 300 .

[0050] The micro switch 200 is disposed on the mounting base 100 . The micro switch 200 includes a trigger portion 240 . The trigger portion 240 can switch between an on state and a off state in response to a trigger of the trigger device 300 .

[0051] The trigger device 300 is movably mounted on the mounting base 100 and is triggered by the trigger portion 240. For example, when the trigger device 300 does not trigger the micro switch 200, the micro switch 200 is in the closed state. When the trigger device 300 is triggered by the trigger portion 240 of the micro switch 200, the micro switch is in the open state.

[0052] The protective cover 400 covers the micro switch 200 , shielding part of the micro switch 200 and exposing the trigger portion 240 to the protective cover 400 , so that the protective cover 400 can protect the micro switch 200 while not affecting the triggering cooperation between the trigger device 300 and the micro switch 200 .

[0053] In the micro-switch device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the protective cover 400 covers the micro-switch 200, providing physical protection to prevent dust, moisture, and other external contaminants from entering the interior of the micro-switch. It also shields other external structures, reducing the probability of accidental activation and the probability of mechanical damage to the micro-switch 200. Furthermore, the protective cover 400 exposes the trigger portion 240, allowing the trigger device 300 to contact the trigger portion, thereby enabling the micro-switch 200 to switch between an on and off state without affecting the normal operation of the trigger device.

[0054] Therefore, the synergistic effect between the various components of the microswitch device 10 ensures the normal operation of the microswitch device. The mounting base 100 provides a stable foundation, the triggering device 300 cooperates with the microswitch 200 to trigger and switch the state of the microswitch 200, and the protective cover 400 ensures the service life and reliability of the microswitch 200.

[0055] It should be noted that in a vehicle, the micro switch device 10 may be used in a variety of scenarios, such as a door switch, a brake light switch, etc. Considering the various harsh conditions in vehicle operation, such as vibration, temperature changes, and external pollution, the protective cover 400 can significantly extend the service life of the micro switch 200.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the protective cover 400 includes a notch portion 430 , and the notch portion 430 is disposed corresponding to the trigger portion 240 , so that the trigger portion 240 can be exposed outside the protective cover 400 .

[0057] The trigger device 300 has a trigger position and an initial position. When the trigger device 300 is in the trigger position, the trigger device 300 passes through the notch 430 and triggers the trigger portion 240. When the trigger device 300 is in the initial position, the trigger device 300 is away from the trigger portion 240 and leaves the protective cover 400.

[0058] It should be noted that if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the trigger mechanism 300 can be a rotating member. For example, the trigger mechanism 300 can include a rotating shaft 310 and a rotating arm 320. The rotating arm 320 can rotate about the rotating shaft 310. The rotating arm 320 has a trigger position and an initial position. When the rotating arm 320 rotates to the trigger position, the free end of the rotating arm 320 can pass through the notch 430 to press the trigger portion 240, thereby activating the micro switch 200. When the rotating arm 320 rotates to the initial position, the free end of the rotating arm 320 moves away from the trigger portion 240, and the trigger portion loses its pressing force and returns to the closed state.

[0059] It should also be noted that the trigger portion 240 can be triggered by pressing. The trigger portion 240 can be a trigger spring 241. When the trigger spring 241 is squeezed by the trigger device 300, it deforms, and the micro switch 200 can be opened. When the trigger device 300 is removed from the trigger spring 241, the trigger spring 241 returns to its original state due to its own elastic restoring force, and the switch is now in the closed state.

[0060] The specific structure of the protective cover will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the micro switch device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein: Figure 3 Shows the state when the protective cover is open; Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the trigger device of the micro switch device provided in an embodiment of the present application and the micro switch when triggered in coordination; Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the assembly of the micro switch and protective cover of the micro switch device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0062] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the micro switch 200 includes a first surface 210 and a second surface 220 arranged opposite to each other and a peripheral side surface 230 located between the first surface 210 and the second surface 220, the first surface 210 is connected to the mounting base 100, and the trigger portion 240 is arranged on the peripheral side surface 230.

[0063] In the above structure, the first surface 210 of the micro switch 200 faces the mounting base 100, forming a stable connection with the mounting base 100. The second surface 220 faces the protective cover 400, which can shield at least a portion of the second surface 220, thereby protecting the structure on the second surface 220. In addition, the trigger portion 240 is disposed on the peripheral side surface 230. In combination with the trigger device 300 also being mounted on the mounting base 100, the placement of the trigger portion 240 on the peripheral side surface 230 of the micro switch 200 can reduce the force transmission path, thereby improving the switch's response speed and accuracy.

[0064] In addition, since the trigger portion 240 is located on the peripheral side surface 230 rather than on the first surface 210 or the second surface 220, vertical space can be saved, so that the micro switch can integrate more functions in a limited space and adapt to more compact design requirements.

[0065] Further, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the protective cover 400 includes a shielding main board 410 and a shielding side panel 420 arranged on the circumferential outer edge of the shielding main board 410. The shielding main board 410 shields at least a portion of the second surface 220, and the shielding side panel 420 shields at least a portion of the circumferential side surface 230. The notch portion 430 is arranged on the shielding side panel 420 for exposing the trigger portion 240 of the micro switch 200.

[0066] In view of the configuration of the protective cover 400, it can correspondingly block the second surface 220 and the peripheral side surface 230 of the micro switch 200, thereby effectively blocking accidental touches from the second surface 220 and the peripheral side surface 230, thereby protecting the micro switch.

[0067] In addition, both the shielding main plate 410 and the shielding side plate 420 are plate structures, which have the advantages of being light and thin and occupying a small space, thus helping to install the micro switch device in a limited space.

[0068] Further, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the protective cover 400, a mounting structure is further provided between the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200. The protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200 can be detachably connected through the mounting structure, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200.

[0069] Specifically, the mounting structure includes a first mounting structure 500 disposed between the shielding mainboard 410 and the second surface 220. The shielding mainboard 410 and the microswitch 200 are plugged together via the first mounting structure 500. Because the shielding mainboard 410 can shield the second surface 220 and thus protect the microswitch 200, there is an overlapping portion between the shielding mainboard 410 and the second surface 220. The first mounting structure can be disposed in this overlapping portion, thereby optimizing the positional layout of the first mounting structure.

[0070] Furthermore, the plug-in connection method employed by the first mounting structure 500 enhances the stability of the connection between the shielding mainboard 410 and the second surface 220, reducing the likelihood of loosening or displacement of the protective cover 400 due to vibration or other external forces, thereby ensuring the proper operation of the device. Furthermore, the plug-in method simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for additional tools or complex steps. Furthermore, the plug-in method saves installation space, thereby reducing the space occupied by the micro-switch device.

[0071] Furthermore, the first mounting structure 500 may include a plug-in protrusion 510 and a plug-in slot 520, one of which is disposed on the shielding main board 410 and the other on the second surface 220. For example, the plug-in protrusion 510 may be disposed on the shielding main board 410, and the plug-in slot 520 may be disposed on the second surface 220.

[0072] It should also be noted that the insertion protrusion 510 and the insertion groove 520 are inserted together in an interference fit to ensure the stability of the connection between the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200. The insertion and fit of the insertion protrusion 510 and the insertion groove 520 can improve the assembly efficiency of the micro switch 200 and the protective cover 400. In addition, the insertion and fit method takes up less space, which can reduce the space occupied by the micro switch device in the thickness direction.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, the first mounting structure 500 can also be a snap-fit structure, so that the shielding main board 410 and the micro switch 200 can be snap-fitted through the first mounting structure 500. The snap-fitting method can also realize the quick connection of the micro switch 200 and the protective cover 400 to improve the assembly efficiency of the two.

[0074] Further, continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the mounting structure may further include a second mounting structure 600 disposed between the shielding side plate 420 and the peripheral side surface 230 , and the shielding side plate 420 and the micro switch 200 are plugged or snapped together via the second mounting structure 600 .

[0075] Specifically, if Figures 2 to 5As shown, the second mounting structure 600 includes a snap-fit protrusion 610 and a snap-fit groove 620 , one of which is disposed on the shielding side plate 420 , and the other is disposed on the peripheral side surface 230 .

[0076] For example, the snap-fit protrusion 610 can be set on the peripheral side 230, and the snap-fit groove 620 can be set on the shielding side plate 420. When the protective cover 400 covers the micro switch 200, the snap-fit protrusion 610 can be snapped into the snap-fit groove 620, thereby realizing a quick connection between the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200.

[0077] It should be noted that the first mounting structure 500 can realize the connection between the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200 in a plug-in manner, and the second mounting structure 600 can realize the connection between the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200 in a snap-on manner, so that there is a mounting structure between the shielding main board 410 of the protective cover 400 and the second surface 220 of the micro switch, as well as between the shielding side plate 420 and the peripheral side surface 230, which can improve the connection stability of the protective cover 400 and the micro switch 200 while ensuring the assembly efficiency of the two.

[0078] In order to further achieve the connection stability of the micro switch device, in some embodiments, the micro switch device 10 further includes a first fastener 710, and the first fastener 710 is passed through the mounting base 100 and the micro switch 200 to achieve a stable connection between the two.

[0079] Furthermore, the micro switch device may further include a second fastener 720 , which passes through the mounting base 100 and the protective cover 400 to fasten the protective cover 400 to the mounting base 100 .

[0080] The first fastener 710 and the second fastener 720 can improve the connection stability among the mounting base 100 , the micro switch 200 and the protective cover 400 .

[0081] In addition, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned micro switch device. Since the micro switch device has the advantages of high safety and long service life, the vehicle including the micro switch device also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0082] The serial numbers of the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are only preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of the patent of this application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
