To further clarify the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of them.

[0154] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure as claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

For example, a first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may be referred to as a first component without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

[0157] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the disclosed product is conventionally placed when in use, or are the orientations or positional relationships conventionally understood by those skilled in the art. These are merely for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure.

[0158] This disclosure provides a control switch switching module for switching between different control switches. In an exemplary application scenario, the control switch switching module is used in a vehicle to control functional components including, but not limited to, power windows, wipers, door locks, remote anti-theft alarm, lights, fault mode self-diagnosis, and power distribution.

[0159] like Figure 1-8As shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the control switch switching module 10 may include a housing 100, a first knob switching module, a key switching module and a flexible circuit board 200. The housing 100 may be configured to support the other components of the control switch switching module 10 and / or provide a storage space for the other components. The first knob switching module may be configured to include a first knob body 300, which is arranged on the housing 100 in a manner rotatable around the longitudinal axis X relative to the housing 100. In addition, the first knob switching module may further include a first knob contact finger 311 connected to the first knob body 300. The number of the first knob contact fingers 311 may be one or more. In one embodiment, one or more first knob contact fingers 311 are integrally formed with the first metal plate 310, and the first metal plate 310 is mounted on the first knob body 300 so as to be able to rotate with the first knob body 300. The key switch module can be disposed on the housing 100 in a manner movable relative to the housing 100 along the longitudinal axis X, and includes a button 400 and at least one contact pin 411, 412 connected to the button 400. The flexible circuit board 200 includes a first knob control panel 210 and a key control panel 220, which are retained by the housing 100. The first knob control panel 210 includes at least one first knob switch portion 211, and the key control panel 220 includes at least one key switch portion 221. The first knob contact finger 311 of the first knob switch module is configured to contact the corresponding first knob switch portion 211 to connect the corresponding control circuit and provide the corresponding control signal. The at least one contact pin 411, 412 of the key switch module 220 is configured to contact the corresponding key switch portion 221 to provide the corresponding control signal. More specifically, the first knob switch portion 211 can be an electrical contact surface disposed on the first knob control panel 210. More specifically, the key switch portion 221 can be an electrical contact surface disposed on the key switch module 220.

[0160] Thus, according to this exemplary embodiment, the flexible circuit board 200 of the control switch switching module 10 allows for the flexible formation of the first knob control panel 210 and the key control panel 220 as relatively independent of each other, thereby allowing for the integration of knob-type control switching and key-type control switching. The relatively independent formation of the first knob control panel 210 and the key control panel 220 also allows the first knob control panel 210 and the key control panel 220 to be flexibly arranged and maintained in the desired positions according to the space requirements of the control switch switching module 10, thereby facilitating full utilization of space and forming a multifunctional compact module. In addition, forming the first knob control panel 210 and the key control panel 220 as different parts of a flexible circuit board 200 can reduce the number of components, simplify assembly, and improve cost-effectiveness.

[0161] According to some embodiments, Figure 2-5 As shown, the housing 100 may be provided with a first retaining plate 110 and a second retaining plate 120. The first knob control panel 210 may be retained by the first retaining plate 110, and the key control panel 220 may be retained by the second retaining plate 120. More specifically, the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 may be connected to each other via the peripheral wall 130 of the housing 100. In a specific embodiment, the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 may be an integral part of the housing 100. Alternatively, at least one of the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 may be a separate component that is separated from the housing 100 and then assembled to the housing 100.

[0162] According to some embodiments, Figure 3-5 As shown, the first retaining plate 110 may include a first axial surface 111 and a second axial surface 121 disposed opposite to each other along the longitudinal axis X, and the first knob control panel 210 may be disposed on the first axial surface 111. Figure 2-8 As shown, the flexible circuit board 200 may further include a support plate 230 disposed against the second axial surface 121 of the first retaining plate 110, and a first connecting piece 240 connected between the first knob control panel 210 and the support plate 230. Thus, the first retaining plate 110 can be sandwiched between the first knob control panel 210 and the support plate 230, thereby allowing the first retaining plate 110 to securely hold the flexible circuit board 200 without increasing space usage. More specifically, the first connecting piece 240 is disposed on the periphery of the first retaining plate 110, further contributing to space conservation.

[0163] According to some embodiments, Figure 3-5 As described above, the second retaining plate 120 includes a third axial surface 121 and a fourth axial surface 122 arranged opposite to each other along the longitudinal axis X, and the key control panel 220 can be arranged on the third axial surface 121. According to a specific embodiment, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 can be arranged so that the second axial surface 112 and the third axial surface 121 are axially opposed to each other. More specifically, the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 can be arranged parallel to each other. This allows the components of the key switch module, such as the at least one contact pin 411, 412, to be accommodated in the space axially between the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120, thereby fully utilizing the space and forming a more compact structure overall.

[0164] According to some embodiments, Figure 6-8As shown, the flexible circuit board 200 may further include a second connecting piece 250 connected between the support plate 230 and the key control panel 220. In a specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first connecting piece 240 and the second connecting piece 250 are arranged diametrically opposite each other and extend axially from the support plate 230 in opposite axial directions. This allows the flexible circuit board 200 to be securely held in a compact manner.

[0165] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown in Figures 20-24, the control switch module 10 may further include a second knob switching module. The second knob switching module may include a second knob body 500, which is rotatably disposed on the housing 100 about the longitudinal axis X relative to the housing 100. Furthermore, the second knob switching module may further include a second knob contact finger 511 connected to the second knob body 500. The number of second knob contact fingers 511 may be one or more. In one embodiment, the one or more second knob contact fingers 511 are integrally formed with a second metal plate 510, which is mounted on the second knob body 500 so as to rotate with the second knob body 500. The flexible circuit board 200 also includes a second knob control panel 260 held by the housing 100. The second knob control panel 260 includes at least one second knob switch portion 261. The second knob contact fingers 511 of the second knob switching module are configured to contact corresponding second knob switch portions 261 to provide corresponding control signals. More specifically, the second knob switch portion 261 can be an electrical contact surface provided on the second knob control panel 260. Thus, the construction and implementation of the flexible circuit board 200 allows for a flexible design of the second knob control panel without increasing the number of components, allowing for the integration of more control functions. Furthermore, the flexible circuit board 200 allows for the flexible placement and retention of the second knob control panel 260 based on practical space requirements, contributing to the overall compactness of the module.

[0166] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and 21 As shown, the second knob control panel 260 is retained on the fourth axial surface 122 of the second retaining plate 120 as described above. This allows for a very compact control switch module 10. In addition, the second retaining plate 120 can be sandwiched between the second knob control panel 260 and the key control panel 220, thereby allowing the second retaining plate 120 to securely retain the flexible circuit board 200 without increasing space usage. In a more specific embodiment, as Figure 2-8As shown, the flexible circuit board 200 may further include a third connecting piece 270 connected between the button control panel 220 and the second knob control panel 260. More specifically, the third connecting piece 270 is disposed on the periphery of the second retaining plate 120, which further helps to save space. More specifically, the shape of the third connecting piece 270 may be configured to follow a portion of the periphery of the second retaining plate 120 so as to be attached to the periphery of the second retaining plate 120. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 6-8 As shown, the third connecting piece 270 and the second connecting piece 250 are arranged radially opposite to each other and extend axially from the key control panel 220 in opposite axial directions, which allows the flexible circuit board 200 to be firmly held in a compact manner.

[0167] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-3 As shown in , 6-8 and 20-24, the flexible circuit board 200 further includes an external connection piece 280 extending from the second knob control panel 260, and the external connection piece 280 is configured to be electrically connected to an external component. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 6-8 As shown, the external connection piece 280 is arranged radially opposite to the third connection piece 270 and extends axially in opposite axial directions from the second knob control panel 260. More specifically, the external connection piece 280 can be flexibly designed according to space requirements to allow it to be arranged and extended in a manner that fully utilizes the limited space.

[0168] According to some embodiments, Figure 9 As shown, the button 400 of the key switch module can be configured to be rotatably coupled to the first knob body 300 of the first knob switch module. More specifically, the button 400 can be configured to be rotatable along with the first knob body 300. According to a specific embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the first knob body 300 may be provided with at least one radially inward protrusion 391, and the button 400 may be provided with at least one axially extending recess 491 ( Figure 2 (also shown in the figure), the radially inward protrusion 391 is received in the corresponding axially extending recess 491 to be circumferentially engaged in the axially extending recess 491, and can be displaced in the axial direction relative to the corresponding axially extending recess 491. Therefore, when the first knob body 300 rotates around the longitudinal axis X, the circumferential engagement between the radially inward protrusion 391 and the axially extending recess 491 of the button 400 can drive the button 400 to rotate simultaneously; and when the button 400 moves along the longitudinal axis X, the radially inward protrusion 391 of the first knob body 300 can be displaced relative to the corresponding axially extending recess 491 so as not to block the axial movement of the button 400. According to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 and 9As shown, the button 400 may include an end pressing portion 490 and an axially extending portion 492 axially extending from the end pressing portion 490, and one or more axially extending recesses 491 may be provided in the axially extending portion 492; the first knob body 300 may include a peripheral portion 390 radially surrounding at least a portion of the axially extending portion 492 of the button 400, and one or more radially inward protrusions 391 are provided on the peripheral portion 390. According to an alternative exemplary embodiment, the first knob body 300, more specifically the peripheral portion 390 thereof, may be provided with an axially extending recess, and the button 400, more specifically the axially extending portion 492 of the button, may be provided with a radially outward protrusion for mating with the axially extending recess. The radially outward protrusion is received in the axially extending recess to be circumferentially engaged therewith and is axially displaceable relative to the axially extending recess.

[0169] According to an alternative embodiment, the button 400 of the key switch module may be configured to be non-rotatably coupled to the first knob body 300 of the first knob switch module.

[0170] According to some embodiments, Figure 3-5 , 11-14, the housing 100 may further include a hollow column 140, which is arranged around the longitudinal axis X. The first knob switching module is assembled to the periphery of the hollow column 140, or in other words, is at least partially arranged around the hollow column 140; the key switching module may include a push rod 440 extending through the hollow column 140, the push rod 440 is connected to the button 400 and is arranged between the button 400 and the at least one contact column 411, 412. Thereby, the first knob switching module and the key switching module can be spatially separated from each other, which allows the axial movement of the button 400 to be carried out in a complementary manner with the rotation of the first knob body 300. In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3-5 As shown in FIG. 12 , the hollow column 140 extends axially from the first axial surface 111 of the first retaining plate 110 of the housing 100 away from the first retaining plate 110. More specifically, the button 200 may be disposed near the axial outer end of the hollow column 140. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the first retaining plate 110 of the housing 100 is provided with a first through hole 113 allowing the push rod 440 to pass through, and the first through hole 113 is more specifically connected to the hollow column 140. In some embodiments, the first knob control panel 210 and the support plate 230 of the flexible circuit board 200 are respectively provided with a second through hole 213 and a third through hole 233 allowing the push rod to pass through, as shown in FIG. Figure 6-8 shown.

[0171] According to some embodiments, Figure 11 、16 As shown in Figure 17, the inner circumferential wall of the hollow column 140 can be provided with at least one axial guide groove 141, and the outer circumferential wall of the push rod 440 of the key switch module can be provided with at least one axial guide rib 441 that cooperates with the at least one axial guide groove 141, thereby guiding the axial movement of the push rod 440 and, therefore, the key switch module. Alternatively, the inner circumferential wall of the hollow column 140 can be provided with at least one axial guide rib, and the outer circumferential wall of the push rod 440 can be provided with at least one axial guide groove that cooperates with the at least one axial guide rib.

[0172] According to some embodiments, Figure 9-10 As shown, the first knob body 300 may be provided with a plurality of first rotary switch positions, and the first knob control panel 210 is provided with a first knob switch portion 211 corresponding to each first rotary switch position, thereby allowing for multiple rotary control controls. The first knob switching module may further include a first locking component, which is used to lock the first knob body 300 in the corresponding first rotary switch position. In some embodiments, as Figure 9-10 The first knob body 300 may be provided with a set of first inclined surfaces 341, 342. The set of first inclined surfaces 341, 342 may include at least two first inclined surfaces 341, 342 disposed sequentially. Adjacent first inclined surfaces of the at least two first inclined surfaces 341, 342 may form a first recess 340a or a first protrusion 340b, with each first rotary switch position corresponding to a first recess 340a. The first locking assembly may include a locking protrusion 351 and a first elastic member 352. The locking protrusion 351 is configured to be movable along the longitudinal axis X, and the first elastic member 352 is connected to the locking protrusion 351. The first elastic member 352 may be, for example, a coil spring. The first locking assembly is constructed as follows: the prestress of the first elastic member 352 presses the locking protrusion 351 into the corresponding first recess 340a, so that the first knob body 300 is locked in the corresponding first rotary switch position; during the period when the first knob body 300 rotates from one first rotary switch position to an adjacent first rotary switch position to control the switch switching, the corresponding first inclined surface 341 forming the first rotary switch position actuates the locking protrusion 351 to move along the longitudinal axis X and compresses the first elastic member 352 until the locking protrusion 351 reaches the top of the first inclined surface 341, that is, the corresponding first convex portion 340b; then, when the locking protrusion 351 reaches the corresponding first inclined surface 342 forming the adjacent first rotary switch position, the first elastic member 352 presses down the locking protrusion 351 until the locking protrusion 351 is in place in the adjacent first rotary switch position, that is, the adjacent first recess 340a. In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 9-10As shown, the locking protrusion 351 is provided on a guide ring 350, which can be provided around the hollow column 140 so as to be movable along the longitudinal axis X. More specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the guide ring 350 can be provided with a first rotation preventing portion 353, such as a rotation preventing protrusion extending axially from the guide ring 350, and the shell 100 can be provided with a second rotation preventing portion 143 cooperating with the first rotation preventing portion 353, thereby preventing the guide ring 350 from rotating relative to the shell 100, that is, ensuring that the guide ring 350 is rotationally fixed relative to the shell 100.

[0173] In some embodiments, as Figure 9-10 As shown in FIG. 13 , the first knob body 300 may further include a shaft ring 360 disposed around the hollow column 140, and the first elastic member 352 may be connected between the guide ring 350 and the shaft ring 360. According to one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 13 As shown, at least a portion of the first resilient member 352 is surrounded by the collar 360 to allow the first resilient member 352 to be radially retained by the collar 360 .

[0174] In some embodiments, as Figure 9-10 As shown, the first knob body 300 may include an annular plate member 370, for example, disposed around the hollow post 140. The plurality of first rotary switch positions, more specifically, the set of first inclined surfaces 341, 342, may be disposed on the annular plate member 370, more specifically, on an outer axial surface 371 of the annular plate member 370. In one embodiment, the set of first inclined surfaces 341, 342 are disposed on a portion of a ring surrounding the longitudinal axis X. In one embodiment, the annular plate member 370 may be disposed around at least a portion of the guide ring 350. In one embodiment, the collar 360 is disposed axially outside the annular plate member 370. In one embodiment, the first metal plate 310, integrally formed with the plurality of first knob contact fingers 311, is disposed on an inner axial surface 372 of the annular plate member 370, such that the plurality of first knob contact fingers 311 are axially positioned between the inner axial surface 372 and the first retaining plate 110, more specifically, the first axial surface 111 of the first retaining plate 110.

[0175] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-2As shown in Figures 12-19, the key switching module may include a deformable key 450, which is coupled to one end of the push rod 440 opposite the button 400. The at least one contact pin 411, 412 includes multiple contact pins of different lengths disposed on the deformable key 450. The key control panel 220 is provided with a key switch portion 221 for connecting to the corresponding contact pins 411, 412 to provide corresponding control signals. In one embodiment, the deformable key 450 is an elastically deformable key and is configured to be capable of assuming different elastic deformation states, such that in each elastic deformation state, contact pins 411, 412 of different lengths contact the corresponding key switch portion 221. For example, the elastically deformable key 450 may have two elastic deformation states, and the elastically deformable key is configured to allow an operator to tactilely perceive the state of the elastically deformable key, including the two elastic deformation states and a transition state between the two elastic deformation states. Accordingly, at least one contact stud 411 having a first length and at least one contact stud 412 having a second length can be provided on the deformable key 450, where the first length and the second length are different. Thus, for example, when the elastically deformable key 450 is in the first elastically deformed state, the contact stud 411 having the first length engages with the corresponding key switch portion 211 on the key control panel 220 and thereby provides a corresponding control signal; when the elastically deformable key 450 is in the second elastically deformed state, the contact stud 412 having the second length engages with the corresponding key switch portion 221 on the key control panel 220 and thereby provides a corresponding control signal.

[0176] In some embodiments, as Figure 16-19 As shown schematically, the deformable button 450 can be a silicone conical button. The silicone conical button can include a top plate 451 and a truncated cone body 452. The top plate 451 is configured to be connected to the push rod 440, and the top plate 451 is provided with a plurality of contact columns 411, 412 extending toward the button control panel 220, that is, a plurality of contact columns 411, 412 of different lengths. The truncated cone body 452 is configured to extend expansionally from the top plate 451 toward the button control panel 220, and the expansion end 453 of the truncated cone body 452 is fixed relative to the shell 100, and the structure can be in the above-mentioned different elastic deformation forms. More specifically, the expansion end 453 of the truncated cone body 452 is fixed to the second retaining plate 120. Thereby, a variety of button-type control functions can be realized with a simple structure. According to one embodiment, as Figure 16-19As shown schematically, the push rod 440 may include a push plate 442 that is coupled to the top plate 451 and covers at least a portion of the top plate 451, in particular, the entire top plate 451. This allows a uniform pressing force to be applied to the top plate 451, thereby facilitating uniform elastic deformation of the frustoconical body 452. According to one embodiment, as Figure 12 As shown, the button 400 may be provided with a first axial return stop 460, and the housing 100 may be provided with a second axial return stop 160 that cooperates with the second axial return stop 460, thereby allowing the axial return movement stroke of the button 400 to be limited when the pressing force on the button 400 is removed. More specifically, the first axial return stop 460 is in the form of a hook-shaped protrusion, and the second axial return stop 160 may be, for example, an axially extending groove provided on the hollow column 140. The hook-shaped protrusion can axially move in the axially extending groove and hook onto the axial end of the axially extending groove at the end of the axial return movement stroke.

[0177] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and 13 As shown, the deformable button 450 is axially disposed between the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120. More specifically, it is disposed within a first axial space defined by at least the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 within the housing 100. More specifically, the peripheral wall 130 connecting the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 also contributes to defining this first axial space. Furthermore, the aforementioned push plate 442 is also disposed between the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120. This contributes to a very compact overall structure.

[0178] In some embodiments, as Figure 20-23As shown, the housing 100 may be provided with multiple second rotary switch positions, including at least one self-resetting rotary switch position and at least one self-locking rotary switch position. A selector assembly is provided on the second knob body 500 of the second rotary switch module. This selector assembly is configured to select a corresponding second rotary switch position as the second knob body 500 rotates, thereby providing a corresponding control signal. In one embodiment, the housing 100 may be provided with a set of second inclined surfaces 171, 172 for defining the multiple second rotary switch positions. The set of second inclined surfaces 171, 172 includes at least two second inclined surfaces arranged in sequence, and adjacent second inclined surfaces of the at least two second inclined surfaces 171, 172 may form a second recess 170a or a second protrusion 170b. Each self-resetting rotary switch position is defined by at least one of the outermost second inclined surfaces in the set of second inclined surfaces, while each self-locking rotary switch position corresponds to a corresponding second recess 170a. The selector assembly may include a selector 520 and a second elastic member 530. The selector 520 is further configured to be movable relative to the second knob body 500 along the longitudinal axis X, allowing the selector 520 to slide along the set of second inclined surfaces 171, 172, thereby arranging the selector 520 in the corresponding self-resetting rotary switch position or the self-locking rotary switch position, thereby conducting the corresponding circuit and providing the corresponding control signal. The second elastic member 530 is connected between the selector 520 and the second knob body 500. The second elastic member 530 is, for example, a coil spring. More specifically, the second elastic member 530 is configured to reset the selector 520 from the self-resetting rotary switch position or lock the selector 520 in a self-locking rotary switch position.

[0179] According to a specific embodiment, Figure 20-23 The selector assembly is constructed as follows: the prestress of the second elastic member 530 presses the selector 520 into the corresponding second recess 170a, so that the second knob body 500 is locked in the corresponding self-locking rotary switch position; during the period when the second knob body 500 rotates from one self-locking rotary switch position to an adjacent self-locking rotary switch position to control the switch switching, the corresponding second inclined surface 171 forming the self-locking rotary switch position actuates the selector 520 to move along the longitudinal axis X and compresses the second elastic member 530 until the selector 520 reaches the top of the second inclined surface 171, that is, the corresponding second protrusion 170b; then when the selector 520 reaches the corresponding second inclined surface 172 forming the adjacent self-locking rotary switch position, the second elastic member 530 presses down the selector 520 until the selector 520 is in position in the adjacent self-locking rotary switch position.

[0180] According to a specific embodiment, the selector assembly is constructed as follows: when the selector 520 rotates with the second knob body 500 and simultaneously slides along the second inclined surface 172a that defines the corresponding self-resetting rotary switch position, the second elastic member 530 is compressed until the selector 520 reaches the outermost end of the second inclined surface 172a; then the second elastic member 530 drives the selector 520 to perform a reset movement along the second inclined surface 172a.

[0181] In some embodiments, as Figure 24 As shown, the housing 100 is further provided with a first rotation stop portion 173 corresponding to each self-resetting rotary switch position; the second knob body 500 is provided with a second rotation stop portion 503 that cooperates with the first stop portion 173, thereby limiting the rotational travel of the second knob body 500 during switching to the corresponding self-resetting rotary switch position.

[0182] In some embodiments, as Figure 20-23 As shown, the second knob body 500 is mounted at the axial end of the housing 100 opposite to the button 400. The selector 520 is a cylindrical member disposed in the receiving portion 540 of the second knob body 500. The plurality of second rotary switch positions can be disposed on the shoulder surface 181 of the shoulder 180 of the housing 100 opposite to the second knob body 500. More specifically, the housing 100 may further include a second axial space disposed between the second retaining plate 120 and the shoulder 180, and the second knob contact finger 511, more specifically the second metal plate 510, can be accommodated in the second axial space. More specifically, the outer peripheral wall 130 connecting the first retaining plate 110 and the second retaining plate 120 also extends axially to at least partially surround the second axial space.

[0183] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the button 400 is arranged at the first axial end of the control switch switching module 10; the first knob body 300 is arranged near the first axial end, for example, radially around a portion of the button 400; the second knob body 500 is arranged at the second axial end of the control switch switching module 10 opposite to the first axial end.
