Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lighting equipment, and in particular to a vehicle light push switch and a portable vehicle light. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of LED lighting technology, lighting has become more compact and applicable in various lighting environments. For example, bicycle lights can be mounted on the frame to provide illumination for nighttime riding. Existing lights typically use a push-button switch to turn on the light or multiple presses to adjust the light mode.

[0003] Existing push-button switch structures typically use a push-button microswitch for power control. A silicone push-button cap is attached to the housing. Pressing the silicone push-button cap causes it to deform, which in turn presses the microswitch inside the lamp housing, turning the light on and off. Existing push-button microswitches are pressed directly by the push-button cap. The silicone push-button cap is relatively soft and easily deformed. Even a small amount of force is required to elastically deform the silicone push-button cap and contact the microswitch. This can easily lead to accidental activation of the light switch, especially when the light is stored, without the user realizing it, resulting in wasted energy.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a car light push switch and a portable car light, which solves the problem in the prior art that the car light switch is easily turned on by accidentally touching it when pressing the button micro switch using a push cap.

[0006] On the one hand, the present application provides a vehicle light push switch, which is used to be arranged on a lamp housing, wherein an installation space is provided in the lamp housing, and a button hole communicating with the installation space is opened on the lamp housing;

[0009] A key switch component is arranged in the installation space and is used to control the on and off of the light-emitting circuit;

[0010] The pressing area causes the pressing cantilever to generate elastic deformation through the squeezing of the elastic pressing cover, so as to drive the movable end to touch the key switch.

[0011] Optionally, the fixed end of the pressing cantilever member includes an arc-shaped bent plate, the arc-shaped bent plate is connected to the inner wall of the lamp housing, and the pressing area is connected to the arc-shaped bent plate.

[0012] Optionally, a chamfer is provided on the top of a side of the movable end facing away from the elastic pressing cover.

[0013] Optionally, a button limiting groove is provided on a surface of the pressing cantilever component on one side facing away from the elastic pressing cover, and the button limiting groove is used to limit the button switch component in the width direction.

[0014] Optionally, the button hole includes: a mounting recessed groove provided on the surface of the lamp housing, a switch through hole located at the bottom of the mounting recessed groove, and a plurality of jacks arranged around the switch through hole, the jacks being located at the bottom of the mounting recessed groove, and the switch through hole being in communication with the mounting space;

[0022] Optionally, the elastic pressing cover is fixedly connected to the lamp housing through secondary molding.

[0023] On the other hand, the present application also proposes a portable vehicle lamp, which includes a lamp housing, a lamp board arranged in the lamp housing, and the vehicle lamp push switch as described above, wherein the key switch member of the vehicle lamp push switch is fixed on the lamp board.

[0024] Beneficial Effects: The vehicle light push switch and portable vehicle light disclosed in the present application are characterized by providing an elastic push cover on the lamp housing, providing a push button switch component within the lamp housing, and providing a push cantilever component between the push button switch component and the elastic push cover. The elastic push cover compresses the push cantilever component in the pressing area, causing it to elastically deform, thereby driving the movable end to trigger the push button switch. Because the elastic force is primarily generated by the push cantilever component, and the force required to elastically deform the push cantilever component is relatively large, compared to a softer elastic push cover, the user needs to press with greater force to touch the push button switch (micro switch). Therefore, even if accidentally touched, the push cantilever component is unlikely to deform and activate the switch, greatly reducing the risk of accidentally touching the vehicle light switch.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer and more explicit, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, this embodiment proposes that the present application provides a vehicle light push switch for installation on a lamp housing 100. The lamp housing 100 can be square in structure, with its thickness direction extending in the vertical direction. The outer contour of the lamp housing 100 is rectangular, with the long side being the length direction (front-to-back direction) and the short side being the width direction (left-to-right direction). An installation space 110 is provided within the lamp housing 100, and a button hole 120 is provided on the lamp housing 100, communicating with the installation space 110. For ease of structural description, the structure is described using the example of the button hole 120 being provided on the rear end surface of the lamp housing 100.

[0033] The vehicle light push switch of this embodiment mainly includes: an elastic push cover 200, a push cantilever member 300, and a key switch member 410. The elastic push cover 200 is fixedly arranged on the lamp housing 100 and covers the key hole 120. The elastic push cover 200 is made of silicone material, and can deform toward the inside of the lamp housing 100 after being squeezed at the rear end. The push cantilever member 300 of this embodiment can be arranged in the up and down direction, and has a fixed end 310 and a movable end 320. The fixed end 310 is located at the lower part of the push cantilever member 300, and the movable end 320 is located at the upper end of the push cantilever member 300. The fixed end 310 at the lower end is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 100, so that the push cantilever member 300 forms a cantilever structure, so that the movable end 320 at the upper end can move in the front and back direction due to the deformation of the push cantilever member 300. A pressing area 330 is formed between the movable end 320 and the fixed end 310. The pressing area 330 can be located in the middle of the pressing cantilever 300 in the vertical direction. The pressing area 330 is located on the side of the elastic pressing cover 200 facing the installation space 110. Therefore, the distance between the pressing area 330 and the fixed end 310 is smaller than the distance between the movable end 320 and the fixed end 310. A key switch 410 is disposed within the installation space 110 and is used to control the on / off state of the lighting circuit. The key switch 410 can be a microswitch, a common switch device on the market. In the vertical direction of the lamp housing 100, the fixed end 310 is located at the bottom, the elastic pressing cover 200 and the pressing area 330 are located in the middle, and the movable end 320 and the key switch 410 are located at the top. The pressing area 330, squeezed by the elastic pressing cover 200, causes the pressing cantilever 300 to elastically deform, thereby driving the movable end 320 to activate the key switch. During the pressing process, firstly, due to the cantilever structure, relatively high pressure is required to actuate the pressing cantilever member 300. Secondly, because the force-bearing pressing area 330 is located in the middle of the pressing cantilever member 300, the force arm required to reach the fixed end 310 is smaller than the force arm required to reach the fixed end 310 from the movable end 320. Therefore, according to the principle of leverage, relatively high force is required to move the movable end 320. This greater force applied to the elastic pressing cover 200 activates the headlight, thus enhancing the pressing feel.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment proposes a vehicle light push switch. By disposing an elastic push cover 200 on the lamp housing 100, a key switch 410 is disposed within the lamp housing 100, and a push cantilever 300 is positioned between the key switch 410 and the elastic push cover 200. The elastic push cover 200 compresses the push area 330, causing the push cantilever 300 to elastically deform, thereby driving the movable end 320 to actuate the key switch. The elastic force is primarily generated by the push cantilever 300, and the force required to elastically deform the push cantilever 300 is relatively large. Furthermore, because the force-bearing push area 330 is located in the middle of the push cantilever 300, the force arm required to reach the fixed end 310 is smaller than the force arm required to reach the fixed end 310 from the movable end 320. Therefore, according to the principle of leverage, a relatively large force is required to move the movable end 320. Therefore, compared to the softer elastic pressing cover 200, the user needs to press harder to touch the key switch 410 (micro switch). Therefore, even in the event of accidental touch, the pressing cantilever 300 is unlikely to deform and activate the switch, greatly reducing the risk of accidentally touching the headlight switch. Furthermore, the pressing cantilever 300 provides a large pressing and return amplitude, which enhances the user's pressing feel and makes the user's perception of the pressing process more obvious, thus optimizing the structure of the push switch.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, further, the fixed end 310 of the pressing cantilever 300 in this embodiment includes an arc-shaped bent plate, which is connected to the inner wall of the lamp housing 100, and the pressing area 330 is connected to the arc-shaped bent plate. In the specific structure, the arc-shaped bent plate is connected to the lower part of the rear end inner wall of the lamp housing 100, and the arc-shaped bent plate bends and extends upward, continuing to extend in the vertical direction to form the middle pressing area 330 and the upper movable end 320. The use of an arc-shaped structure makes it easier for the pressing cantilever 300 to produce elastic deformation, and the arc-shaped bent plate deforms more sensitively after being subjected to force. As a result, the arc-shaped bent plate provides a stable elastic force to the movable end 320, which improves the pressing feel of the button.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a chamfer 341 is provided at the top of the movable end 320 on the side facing away from the elastic pressing cover 200. The front end of the movable end 320 is designed with a chamfer or rounded corner. During assembly, the key switch member 410 can slide along the chamfer 341 to the front side of the pressing cantilever member 300, facilitating assembly.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a key retaining groove 340 is provided on the side of the pressing arm 300 facing away from the elastic pressing cover 200. The key retaining groove 340 is used to limit the width of the key switch 410. The key retaining groove 340 is provided on the front surface of the pressing arm 300, and the upper end of the key retaining groove 340 is open. When the key switch 410 is installed on the front side of the pressing arm 300, the button is locked in the key retaining groove 340, thereby preventing the key switch 410 and the movable end 320 from shifting in the left and right positions. This ensures that the key switch 410 is positioned in the middle of the pressing arm 300 in the left and right directions, ensuring a more stable force when pressing. A chamfer 341 is provided at the notch of the key retaining groove 340 to facilitate the key switch 410 to enter the key retaining groove 340.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, further, the button hole 120 in this embodiment specifically includes: a mounting groove 121 opened on the rear surface of the lamp housing 100, a switch through hole 122 located at the bottom of the mounting groove 121, and a plurality of jacks 123 arranged around the switch through hole 122, the jacks 123 are located at the bottom of the mounting groove 121, and the switch through hole 122 is connected to the mounting space 110.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the elastic pressing cover 200 of this embodiment specifically includes: a support block 210, a push block 220, and a plurality of plugs 230. The support block 210 is embedded in the mounting groove 121, and the push block 220 is arranged on the side of the support block 210 facing the pressing cantilever 300 and embedded in the switch through hole 122. The plurality of plugs 230 are correspondingly arranged in the plurality of insertion holes 123. With the support block 210 embedded in the mounting groove 121 and the push block 220 embedded in the switch through hole 122, the elastic pressing cover 200 and the lamp housing 100 form a limited connection, and the push block 220 can be deformed inwardly within the switch through hole 122. The plurality of plugs 230 cooperate with the insertion holes 123 to form a structural connection between the edge of the elastic pressing cover 200 and the lamp housing 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the elastic pressing cover 200 and the lamp housing 100. In this embodiment, a step is formed between the support block 210 and the push block 220.

[0040] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the push block 220 is provided with a pressing protrusion 222 on the side facing the cantilever 300. The outer dimensions of the pressing protrusion 222 are smaller than those of the push block 220 in both the width and thickness directions. The relatively small size of the pressing protrusion 222 concentrates the pressing force on the cantilever 300. This concentrates the location of the pressing force on the cantilever 300, facilitating the deformation of the cantilever 300 under pressure.

[0041] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, further, in this embodiment, a pressing block 240 is provided on the side of the support block 210 facing away from the pressing cantilever 300, and a first material-reducing groove 241 is provided between the support block 210 and the pressing block 240. The first material-reducing groove 241 is arranged around the pressing block 240. The first material-reducing groove 241 reduces the thickness of the connection between the support block 210 and the pressing block 240, making it easier for the pressing block 240 to produce elastic deformation and a larger deformation amount, thereby making it easier for the user to press.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the elastic pressing cover 200 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 100 through secondary molding. After the lamp housing 100 in this embodiment is molded using hard plastic injection molding, the molded lamp housing 100 is placed in a secondary molding mold for silicone injection molding to form the elastic pressing cover 200, which is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 100. This secondary molding ensures connection stability, improves the waterproof rating, and enhances production efficiency.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable vehicle lamp, which includes a lamp housing 100, a lamp board 400 disposed within the lamp housing 100, and the aforementioned vehicle lamp push switch, wherein the key switch member 410 of the vehicle lamp push switch is fixed to the lamp board 400. The lamp board 400 is located above the mounting space 110 of the lamp housing 100 and emits light upward under the control of the vehicle lamp push switch.

[0045] In summary, the vehicle light push switch and portable vehicle light disclosed in this application are configured by providing an elastic push cover on the lamp housing, providing a push button switch component within the lamp housing, and arranging a push cantilever component between the push button switch component and the elastic push cover. The elastic push cover compresses the push area, causing the push cantilever component to elastically deform, thereby driving the movable end to actuate the push button switch. Because the elastic force is primarily generated by the push cantilever component, and the force required to elastically deform the push cantilever component is relatively large, compared to a softer elastic push cover, the user needs to press with greater force to touch the push button switch component (micro switch). Therefore, even if accidentally touched, the push cantilever component is unlikely to deform and activate the switch, greatly reducing the risk of accidental touch of the vehicle light switch.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
