Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle electronic control systems, and in particular to a switch assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In vehicle electronic control systems, shrapnel-type micro switches are widely used due to their simple structure, quick response, and high reliability. The switching operation of a shrapnel-type micro switch is usually controlled by a switch cap disposed on the outside of the shrapnel-type micro switch. The switch cap has a switching stroke. When an external mechanical force acts on the switch cap and causes the switch cap to move to the entire opening stroke, the shrapnel-type micro switch can be triggered, causing the shrapnel-type micro switch to perform a micro-switching stroke. After the movement completes the entire micro-opening stroke, the shrapnel-type micro switch can be turned on. In related technologies, the switching stroke of the switch cap of a vehicle part is small, similar to the micro-switching stroke of the internal shrapnel-type micro switch. This makes it easy for the micro switch to be accidentally touched due to vibration or misoperation during vehicle driving, thereby affecting the normal operation and safety of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

This ensures that, when the switch cap is subjected to unintended operation, the microswitch will not be falsely triggered due to its own trigger travel being similar to the movement travel of the switch cap or the force required to operate the switch cap being too small, thereby effectively improving the operational accuracy, working reliability, and safety of the switch assembly.

[0006] According to the switch assembly of the present application, by arranging an elastic member between the switch cap and the microswitch and controlling the elastic stroke of the elastic member to be greater than the trigger stroke between the switch cap and the microswitch, the movement stroke of the switch cap can be increased, so that the difference in size between the movement stroke of the switch cap and the trigger stroke between the switch cap and the microswitch is increased, and the force required to operate the switch cap can be increased, thereby ensuring that when the switch cap is subjected to unintentional operation (such as vibration during vehicle driving or human error), the microswitch will not be mistakenly triggered due to its own trigger stroke being similar to the movement stroke of the switch cap or the force required to operate the switch cap being too small. In this way, the operational accuracy, working reliability and safety of the switch assembly can be effectively improved. In addition, the elastic member can also play a buffering and vibration reduction role, which can absorb some impact during long-term use, which is beneficial to improving the durability and service life of the switch assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the body includes: a top plate and a side plate located around the top plate, the top plate is provided with a boss, the trigger column is provided on the boss, and a slot that cooperates with the shell is defined between the boss and the side plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a flange plate is provided at one end of the side plate away from the top plate, a buckle is formed on the flange plate, and is suitable for being movably engaged with the shell.

[0010] In some embodiments, the projection profile of the boss in the pressing direction of the switch cap is a cross.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing defines a plate structure of the second housing section that extends into a slot of the switch cap.

[0014] In some embodiments, the shell further has a limit plate, which is connected to the second shell section, and the limit plate has a limit groove that is larger than the trigger stroke and smaller than the elastic stroke. The buckle of the switch cap is set in the limit groove to enable the switch cap to be movably engaged with the shell.

[0047] The term "plurality" used in this application refers to two or more (including two).

[0048] Reference below Figures 1-4 A switch assembly 1000 and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application are described.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the switch assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the switch assembly 1000 includes: a housing 1, a micro switch 2, a switch cap 3 and an elastic member 4.

[0050] In which, the housing 1 has an accommodating chamber 1a; the micro switch 2 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 1a; the switch cap 3 is movably arranged in the housing 1, the elastic member 4 is located between the micro switch 2 and the switch cap 3, and the elastic stroke of the elastic member 4 is greater than the trigger stroke between the switch cap 3 and the micro switch 2.

[0051] Specifically, the shell 1 can provide an installation position for some other components of the switch assembly 1000 (such as the micro switch 2, etc.), and can provide good support, fixation and protection for some other components of the switch assembly 1000; the micro switch 2 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 1a of the shell 1, and the switch cap 3 is arranged on the shell 1 and can move relative to the shell 1. An elastic member 4 is arranged between the switch cap 3 and the micro switch 2, and the switch cap 3 and the elastic member 4 are used to control the on and off of the micro switch 2. When the switch cap 3 is operated and moves relative to the housing 1, the switch cap 3 can move toward the microswitch 2. Since an elastic member 4 is provided between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2, and the elastic stroke of the elastic member 4 is greater than the trigger stroke between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2, the switch cap 3 will not directly complete the trigger stroke between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2 at the beginning. Instead, the elastic member 4 will be gradually compressed as it moves toward the microswitch 2. This is equivalent to the end of the elastic member 4 connected to the switch cap 3 gradually moving closer to the end of the elastic member 4 connected to the microswitch 2. Only after the elastic member 4 is compressed and moves to the position where the elastic stroke is completed can the switch cap 3 contact the contacts of the microswitch 2. It can be understood that the elastic member 4 increases the movement stroke of the switch cap 3. Moreover, due to the provision of the elastic member 4, when the switch cap 3 is operated, the elastic member 4 can generate a reaction force on the switch cap 3, which can increase the force required to operate the switch cap 3 and make the operation of the switch cap 3 more clear. In addition, after the microswitch 2 is triggered, the elastic member 4 can drive the switch cap 3 to automatically reset under the recovery force of the elastic member 4.

[0052] It should be pointed out that the above-mentioned micro switch 2 can be but is not limited to a spring-type micro switch, a ball-type micro switch, etc. Preferably, the micro switch 2 of the present application is constructed as a spring-type micro switch to ensure good sensitivity and response speed and save costs.

[0053] In addition, the elasticity and size of the elastic member 4 can be adjusted according to the actual operating force requirements of different switch caps 3, the layout requirements of different switch caps 3 and micro switches 2, etc. to meet the requirements.

[0054] According to the switch assembly 1000 of the present application, by disposing an elastic member 4 between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2 and controlling the elastic travel of the elastic member 4 to be greater than the trigger travel between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2, the movement travel of the switch cap 3 can be increased, thereby increasing the difference in size between the movement travel of the switch cap 3 and the trigger travel between the switch cap 3 and the microswitch 2. Furthermore, the force required to operate the switch cap 3 can be increased, thereby ensuring that when the switch cap 3 is subjected to unintended operation (such as vibration during vehicle driving or human error), the microswitch 2 will not be falsely triggered due to its own trigger travel being similar to the movement travel of the switch cap 3 or the force required to operate the switch cap 3 being too small. This effectively improves the operational accuracy, reliability, and safety of the switch assembly 1000. Furthermore, the elastic member 4 can also act as a buffer and absorb some shock during long-term use, thereby improving the durability and service life of the switch assembly 1000. Furthermore, the elastic properties of the elastic member 4 can also achieve automatic reset of the switch cap 3 and provide elastic feedback, making the operation of the switch cap 3 more clear and reliable, thereby enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the switch cap 3 includes: a body and a trigger column 32 .

[0056] The main body is movably connected to the housing 1 , the elastic member 4 is sleeved on the trigger column 32 , and the free end of the trigger column 32 is suitable for triggering the micro switch 2 .

[0057] Specifically, the switch cap 3 consists of two parts: a main body and a trigger column 32. The main body is movably connected to the shell 1, and the main body can move relative to the shell 1 within a certain range, such as pressing up and down, rotating, etc., and can be specifically designed according to the application scenario of the switch assembly 1000. The trigger column 32 has a certain length. One end of the trigger column 32 is connected to the main body, and the other end (free end) of the trigger column 32 is suitable for triggering the micro switch 2. It can be understood that the free end of the trigger column 32 triggers the micro switch 2, and the movement of the trigger column 32 is driven by the movement of the main body. When the main body is subjected to external force (such as pressing), the trigger column 32 can move with the main body and eventually contact the trigger point of the micro switch 2, thereby changing the state of the micro switch 2, for example, from open to closed, thereby controlling the on and off of the circuit. The elastic member 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the trigger column 32, and the elastic member 4 is pushed between the main body and the micro switch 2 to ensure that the movement stroke of the main body and the trigger column 32 can be increased, thereby improving the operating accuracy and reliability of the switch assembly 1000, and ensuring that a restoring force can be provided so that the trigger column 32 and the main body can automatically return to their initial positions after movement, in preparation for the next opening operation of the switch assembly 1000.

[0058] In addition, in some specific embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 4 is constructed as a spring member or a rubber member. Both the spring and the rubber material have the advantages of good deformation ability, good durability and low cost. Therefore, by constructing the elastic member 4 as a spring member or a rubber member, it is beneficial to improve the working performance and reliability of the elastic member 4 and save costs.

[0059] In other specific embodiments, a rubber sleeve 5 is provided between the trigger column 32 and the microswitch 2. The rubber sleeve 5 provides sealing and insulation protection, preventing current leakage or accidental electric shock, and effectively improving the safety of the switch assembly 1000. Furthermore, due to its good elasticity, the rubber sleeve 5 also provides excellent sound insulation and noise reduction, and absorbs shock and vibration generated during switch operation, thereby protecting the microswitch 2 and the trigger column 32 from mechanical damage and extending the life of the switch assembly 1000.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the main body includes: a top plate 311 and a side plate 313 located around the top plate 311, a boss 312 is provided on the top plate 311, the trigger column 32 is provided on the boss 312, and a slot 31a that cooperates with the shell 1 is defined between the boss 312 and the side plate 313.

[0061] Specifically, the top plate 311 is configured to withstand external forces (such as pressure) to achieve movement of the body. A boss 312 may be formed on the side of the top plate 311 facing the microswitch 2 in the thickness direction, while a side plate 313 is provided around the top plate 311. Both the side plate 313 and the boss 312 extend toward the microswitch 2. The side plates 313 are spaced apart around the periphery of the boss 312 and define slots 31a. The slots 31a can engage with at least a portion of the housing 1 to limit the position between the body and the housing 1. This improves the assembly positioning accuracy and connection stability between the body and the housing 1, and optimizes the anti-drop performance of the switch cap 3. Furthermore, the boss 312 serves as a mounting and support platform for the trigger post 32. The trigger post 32 is disposed on the boss 312, which helps improve the stability and accuracy of the trigger post 32, ensuring that the trigger post 32 can accurately align with and trigger the microswitch 2.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, a flange plate 314 is provided at one end of the side plate 313 away from the top plate 311 , and a buckle 315 is formed on the flange plate 314 and is suitable for being movably engaged with the shell 1 .

[0063] Specifically, the flange plate 314 can be disposed at one end of the side plate 313 that is away from the top plate 311 in the extension direction. The flange plate 314 is bent relative to the side plate 313. A buckle 315 can be formed at the edge of the flange plate 314. The buckle 315 is used to flexibly engage with the housing 1. The connection between the buckle 315 and the housing 1 is detachable. The use of the buckle 315 flexibly engaging with the housing 1 can improve the assembly efficiency of the switch assembly 1000, further enhance the connection stability between the switch cap 3 and the housing 1, further optimize the anti-drop performance of the switch cap 3, and enhance the operational reliability of the switch assembly 1000. Furthermore, when the switch cap 3 needs to be removed or replaced, the buckle 315 can be released from the housing 1 to easily separate the switch cap 3 from the housing 1. Therefore, the use of the buckle 315 flexibly engaging with the housing 1 can also improve the convenience of replacing and maintaining the switch cap 3.

[0064] Preferably, the buckle 315 is constructed of elastic material, such as plastic, rubber, etc., so that the buckle 315 has a certain deformation ability and restoring force, so as to improve the matching efficiency between the buckle 315 and the shell 1 and extend the life of the buckle 315.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the projection profile of the boss 312 in the pressing direction of the switch cap 3 is a cross.

[0066] Specifically, the projection profile of boss 312 in the pressing direction of switch cap 3 (the extension direction of boss 312) is configured as a cross. A cross is a shape having four equal-length branches, each branch pointing in a different direction. By configuring boss 312 as a cross, on the one hand, boss 312 forms a support structure with good uniformity and stability in the pressing direction, helping to ensure that the trigger column 32 maintains a stable motion trajectory and force output during the pressing process, thereby improving the reliability and durability of switch assembly 1000. On the other hand, the cross-shaped structure between the free end of boss 312 and housing 1 can prevent the switch cap 3 from falling out or shaking, further improving the stability and reliability of the switch cap 3.

[0067] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the top plate 311 is configured as an inclined plate to facilitate pressing.

[0068] Specifically, the top plate 311 is constructed as an inclined plate with a certain inclination angle. The inclined design allows the user's fingers to fit more naturally on the top plate 311 when pressing the top plate 311, thereby reducing the fatigue of the hand muscles and improving the comfort of pressing. At the same time, the inclined plate also makes the pressing action more intuitive and labor-saving. Since there is a certain angle between the top plate 311 and the horizontal plane, the lever effect based on the angle is utilized when pressing, and the user can achieve a relatively large pressing stroke with relatively small force. In this way, not only the pressing efficiency can be improved, but also the pressing action can be made more intuitive and labor-saving, which can optimize the user experience.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the housing 1 includes: a first shell segment 11 and a second shell segment 12 .

[0070] Among them, the first shell section 11 defines a first accommodating chamber 11a and is used to accommodate the micro switch 2, and the second shell section 12 defines a second accommodating chamber 12a and is used to accommodate the trigger column 32 of the switch cap 3. The opening size of the first accommodating chamber 11a is larger than the opening size of the second accommodating chamber 12a.

[0071] Specifically, the first shell section 11 and the second shell section 12 respectively define a first accommodating chamber 11a and a second accommodating chamber 12a. The first accommodating chamber 11a and the second accommodating chamber 12a are connected. The first accommodating chamber 11a can be used to accommodate the micro switch 2, and the second accommodating chamber 12a can be used to accommodate the trigger column 32 and the elastic member 4 sleeved on the outer periphery of the trigger column 32. By setting the opening size of the first accommodating chamber 11a to be larger than the opening size of the second accommodating chamber 12a, on the one hand, the installation and layout requirements of the micro switch 2, the switch cap 3 and the elastic member 4 can be met. Specifically, the overall structure of the micro switch 2 is usually larger and more complex than the trigger column 32, and therefore requires a larger space to accommodate it; on the other hand, the opening size of the second accommodating chamber 12a is relatively small, which helps to limit the movement range of the trigger column 32 to ensure that it can move along a predetermined trajectory when pressed, thereby improving the working accuracy and reliability of the switch cap 3; on the third hand, by differentiating the opening sizes of the first accommodating chamber 11a and the second accommodating chamber 12a, the overall structural compactness of the switch assembly 1000 can also be improved, the volume and weight of the switch assembly 1000 can be optimized, and the layout space can be saved.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the housing 1 defines a plate structure of the second housing section 12 that extends into the slot 31 a of the switch cap 3 .

[0073] Specifically, by extending the plate structure of the second shell section 12 defined by the shell 1 into the slot 31a of the switch cap 3, a tighter and stronger connection can be formed between the shell 1 and the switch cap 3. In this way, the connection strength between the shell 1 and the switch cap 3 can be enhanced, the structural stability of the entire switch assembly 1000 can be improved, and the impact and vibration resistance of the shell 1 and the switch cap 3 can be improved, thereby protecting the micro switch 2 and other key components inside the shell 1 from damage, further improving the reliability and durability of the switch assembly 1000.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the shell 1 further has a limit plate, which is connected to the second shell section 12, and the limit plate has a limit groove 12b that is larger than the trigger stroke and smaller than the elastic stroke. The buckle 315 of the switch cap 3 is arranged in the limit groove 12b to enable the switch cap 3 to be movably engaged with the shell 1.

[0075] Specifically, a limiting groove 12b is formed on the limiting plate, and the buckle 315 of the switch cap 3 is arranged in the limiting groove 12b so that the switch cap 3 and the shell 1 can be movably engaged. When the switch cap 3 moves, the buckle 315 can move in the limiting groove 12b. The depth of the limiting groove 12b is greater than the triggering stroke between the switch cap 3 and the micro switch 2, but less than the elastic stroke of the elastic member 4. In this way, it can be ensured that the switch cap 3 can move smoothly to trigger the micro switch 2 during the pressing process, and will not damage the internal components due to excessive movement.

[0076] like Figures 1-4 As shown, according to the vehicle embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, the vehicle includes: the switch assembly 1000 described in any one of the above embodiments, and the technical effects produced are consistent with those in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
