Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a push button switch and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The steering column combination switch is mounted on top of the vehicle's steering column, above the steering wheel. Traditionally, this switch includes a clock spring, a light control lever, a wiper control lever, and an angle sensor. In some known new energy vehicles, for driver convenience, the light and wiper switches are integrated into one control lever, while the other serves as a shift lever, also known as a hand-shift lever, capable of engaging P (park), R (reverse), N (neutral), and D (reverse).

[0003] The shift knob typically features a P gear button, which the driver engages by pressing. This steering column combination switch utilizes conductive particles on a conductive rubber to contact the conductive area of ​​the printed circuit board (PCB) to achieve a safe and stable output of the P gear signal. The flexible force curve of the conductive rubber creates a comfortable feel when pressing the P gear button. The conductive rubber's reset function and a stop feature ensure that the P gear button resets when the driver releases it. This process generates noise due to component collision.

[0004] Currently, there are two methods for resetting the P gear button. The first is a single-hook button operating lever, which is placed in the center area of ​​the handle. When pressed, the conductive particles on the conductive rubber contact the conductive area of ​​the PCB board to achieve signal transmission. When released, it quickly rebounds under the reaction force of the conductive rubber. At this time, the button's hook made of polycarbonate (PC) material collides with the handle made of nylon and glass fiber (PA6 GF30) material to stop the P gear button. This single-hook method is noisy, and the buckle is prone to stress concentration after long-term use, causing the buckle to break, which in turn causes the P gear button's shifting function to fail, so it is less safe. The second is a stop method that uses multiple buckles and handle slots. The multiple buckles are placed on both sides or multiple sides of the handle. After the driver presses the P gear button to realize the P gear function and releases his hand, the multiple buckles and the handle slot stop under the reaction force of the conductive rubber. This design can appropriately reduce the rebound force on a single buckle or disperse the rebound force. Even if a single buckle experiences stress cracking or breaks after long-term use, the remaining buckles can still continue to be used. However, when multiple buckles rebound and collide with the handle, the noise is louder, and the abnormal noise causes discomfort to the driver. In addition, the manufacturing process of multiple buckle stops makes it difficult to ensure that the multiple stop surfaces remain in the same plane, which makes the manufacturing process difficult, and the buttons are prone to tilting or tilting, which reduces safety. Furthermore, if at least one of the buckles is damaged, it will be impossible to ensure that the two conductive particles of the conductive rubber can simultaneously contact the conductive area of ​​the PCB board, which will affect functionality.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a shift handle that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] See below. Figures 1 to 13 Various embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0042] Figure 1 A push button switch according to the present disclosure is shown in the figure, which can be used in a steering column combination switch assembly of a vehicle, specifically as a shift handle of the steering column combination switch assembly, and is arranged below the steering wheel. The vehicle can be a new energy vehicle, such as a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a plug-in hybrid vehicle, an extended-range electric vehicle, or a hydrogen energy vehicle. For example, the steering column combination switch can include a main body, the above-mentioned push button switch, and another handle. The main body can be installed on the steering column of the vehicle, and an airbag spring, an angle sensor, etc. are arranged on it. The push button switch and the other handle are both arranged on the main body, wherein the push button switch can be a shift handle, and the other handle is provided with a light switch and a wiper switch.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the push button switch may include a main body 1, an upper cover 2, a lower cover 3, and an end cover 4. The main body 1 has a receiving space in which various components are arranged, such as Figure 2The main body 1 may have an extension axis A, such as Figure 2 As shown by the dotted line in , part of the main body 1 can extend along the extension axis A. The upper cover 2 faces the driver and is used to enclose the accommodating space of the main body 1, and has symbols thereon, such as R (reverse gear), N (neutral gear), D (reverse gear), and arrows (used to indicate the rotation direction of the handle) for functional illustration and as an aesthetic embellishment. The lower cover 3 is used to enclose the accommodating space of the main body 1. The end cover 4 is provided at the end of the main body 1 and can be snapped onto the main body 1. A decorative part can be provided between the end cover 4 and the main body 1 to cover the connection between the two. The main body 1 can rotate in one direction, thereby driving the internal drive block to rotate, so that it contacts different conductive areas of the circuit board described below, thereby sending different gear signals.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the push button switch may further include a button 5, a circuit board (PCB board) 6, an elastic switch component 8, a top block 7, and a wiring harness connector assembly 7.

[0045] The circuit board 6 is arranged in the accommodation space of the main body 1 transversely to the actuation direction, for example, it is fixed by a groove on the main body 1 to ensure reliable on-off function, and has a conductive area in the form of a conductive disk 27. The conductive disk 27 uses an overlapping design so that the conduction point is divided into two or more. The wiring harness connector assembly 7 includes a head plug-in, a tail plug-in, a wire and a tape, wherein the head plug-in is arranged on the circuit board 6 to connect the circuit board 6 to receive various signals, and the tail plug-in is used to connect to the external main circuit board controller to realize signal transmission conversion of multiple functional operations. For example, the head plug-in is arranged on the side of the circuit board 6 opposite to the elastic switch component 8, which can realize the safe and stable output of the PRND signal.

[0046] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the button 5 is arranged in the receiving space of the main body 1 and can reciprocate along an actuation direction and an opposite release direction. The button 5 can have a piano lacquer PVD symbol P (parking gear), so it can also be called a P gear button. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the horizontal left hollow arrow is the actuation direction, and the horizontal right direction is the release direction. Both the actuation direction and the release direction are parallel to the extension axis A.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic switch member 8 is configured to actuate the push button switch when the button 5 is operated to move in the actuation direction, and to push the button to move in the release direction when the button 5 is released. The button 5 being operated means that the button 5 is pressed by the driver, and the button 5 being released means that the button 5 is not pressed.

[0048] like Figure 2 and3 As shown, the top block 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the button 5 and abuts against the elastic switch component 8. Figure 4 As shown, the top block 7 has a flexible part 11 and a rigid part 12, the rigid part 12 forms a first surface of the top block 7, and the flexible part 11 forms a second surface of the top block 7 opposite to the first surface, wherein the first surface abuts against the elastic switch component 8, and the second surface is stopped by a stop portion when the button 5 moves along the release direction.

[0049] For example, the top block 7 is a two-color injection molded part, that is, it is made by a two-color injection molding process. In other words, the top block 7 is an integrally molded part formed by injection molding two different materials.

[0050] For example, the flexible portion 11 of the top block 7 has a certain elasticity, and the sound produced when the button 5 collides with the stopper when moving in the release direction is small. In order to avoid affecting the functionality of the P-gear button, the flexible portion 11 must also have a certain rigidity. For example, the flexible portion 11 of the top block 7 can be a thermoplastic elastomer, that is, made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE, Thermoplastic rubber), which has the elasticity of rubber at room temperature, but still has a certain rigidity. Of course, the flexible portion 11 can also be made of other materials with a certain elasticity and a certain rigidity, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0051] For example, the rigidity of the flexible portion 11 of the top block 7 may be less than the rigidity of the rigid portion 12. For example, the rigid portion 12 may be a polymer plastic part. In some embodiments, the polymer plastic part is, for example, a polyoxymethylene plastic part, that is, made of polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic, which has the characteristics of high hardness, high rigidity, and high wear resistance. The polymer plastic part may also be made of other types of plastics with higher rigidity. The rigid portion 12 can ensure that when the P gear button is pressed, the elastic switch component 8 can be safely and stably prompted to actuate the push button switch. Of course, the rigid portion 12 may also be made of other rigid materials, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0052] The present invention realizes a comfortable feel when pressing by integrally forming the flexible part and the rigid part, reduces the noise when the P gear button is reset, and also improves the safety of the button.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the stop portion is a stop surface 14 on the main body 1 opposite to the second surface. The stop surface 14 can be arranged transversely to (for example, perpendicular to) the extension axis A. The first surface and the second surface of the top block 7 are also arranged transversely to (for example, perpendicular to) the extension axis A. Considering Figure 4The structure of the middle top block 7 can be provided with two stop surfaces 4. This larger surface contact stop reduces the possibility of component damage, improves safety, and reduces the noise generated by collision.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the top block 7 also has a connecting portion 13, which securely connects the top block 7 to the key 5 and is formed integrally with the rigid portion 12. In other words, the flexible portion 11, the rigid portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are formed integrally through a two-color injection molding process, thus avoiding safety issues caused by the separation of the various parts.

[0055] For example, the connecting portion 13 may be provided with a plurality of buckles 15, and the buckles 15 are snapped into the grooves 16 on the button 5, such as Figure 4 See again Figure 7 The connecting portion 13 may have a square cross-section, that is, a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and a buckle 15 is provided on one side of the rectangular parallelepiped structure.

[0056] For example, the button 5 is provided with a mounting groove 17 for the connecting portion 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 12 The cross section is shown in FIG. 1 , which is taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. The mounting groove 17 may be a rectangular parallelepiped structure, with the groove 16 provided on its inner wall. The groove 16 may be a hole or opening that passes through the groove wall, such as Figure 4 See Figure 12 The inner wall of the mounting groove 17 is provided with a positioning rib 18 that is interference fit with the connecting portion 13. For example, two positioning ribs 18 are provided on each inner wall, and the positioning rib 18 can extend along the longitudinal axis A.

[0057] By means of the above-mentioned snap connection with the groove and the positioning rib, the top block 7 can be firmly connected to the button 5, avoiding affecting the functionality of the P gear button.

[0058] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the elastic switch component 8 is preloaded between the top block 7 and the circuit board 6. In this way, the elastic switch component 8 can apply a force along the release direction to the top block 7, thereby achieving stable positioning of the top block 7 on the longitudinal axis A.

[0059] For example, Figure 13 As shown, the main body 1 is provided with a first guide recess 19 and a second guide recess 19' extending along the actuation direction and recessed transversely to the actuation direction, and the button 5 is provided with a first protrusion 20 and a second protrusion 20' respectively cooperating with the first guide recess 19 and the second guide recess 19'. Figure 6It is shown that the first protrusion 20 and the second protrusion 20' extend in the actuation direction.For example, the recessed direction of the first guide recess 19 may be perpendicular to the recessed direction of the second guide recess 19'.

[0060] For example, the main body 1 is provided with a guide protrusion 21 extending along the actuation direction and protruding transversely to the actuation direction, and the button 5 is provided with a recess 22 that cooperates with the guide protrusion 21. The guide protrusion 21 can replace the first guide recess 19 and the second guide recess 19' described above, or can be used in conjunction with the first guide recess 19 and the second guide recess 19'.

[0061] like Figure 13 As shown in the figure, two first guide recesses 19 are provided on the main body 1 in a vertical direction, with the upper first guide recess 19 being recessed upward and the lower first guide recess 19 being recessed downward. Horizontally, a second guide recess 19' and a guide protrusion 21 are provided on the main body 1 in a horizontal direction, with the left second guide recess 19' being recessed to the left and the right guide protrusion 21 being protruding to the left. Obviously, the recessed direction of the first guide recess 19 is perpendicular to the recessed direction of the second guide recess 19'.

[0062] This arrangement can position the key 5 in two directions transverse to the actuation direction, thereby preventing the key 5 from shaking and the resulting noise and impact on functionality.

[0063] See again Figure 3 The main body 1 is provided with a limiting groove 23 extending in the actuation direction, and the button 5 is provided with a limiting protrusion 24 that cooperates with the limiting groove 23. For example, the limiting protrusion 24 can be in the form of a snap. For example, the button 5 is a substantially cylindrical structure with four limiting protrusions 24 provided thereon. Correspondingly, the main body 1 is provided with a substantially cylindrical channel extending in the actuation direction, and the channel is provided with four limiting grooves 23, which can be in the form of through holes or openings.

[0064] like Figure 8 and 9 The elastic switch component 8 is a conductive rubber component comprising a rubber body 25 and conductive contacts 26. The rubber body 25 is disposed on the circuit board 6 and comprises two inverted bowl-shaped bodies. The two conductive contacts 26 are disposed on the top inner walls of the two bowl-shaped bodies. Furthermore, the rubber body 25 has two connecting members 28 in the shape of inverted mushroom heads, which are used to secure the elastic switch component 8 to the circuit board 6.

[0065] like Figure 10As shown, a conductive plate 27 is provided on the circuit board 6. When the button 5 is not pressed, no force is applied to the elastic switch component 8, and the conductive contact 26 is separated from the conductive plate 27, so the circuit board 6 is in a disconnected state. When the button 5 is operated, i.e., pressed, the button 5 drives the top block 7 to move in the actuation direction. The rigid portion 12 drives the elastic switch component 8 to elastically deform, causing the conductive contact 26 to move in the actuation direction until it contacts the conductive plate 27, thereby achieving connectivity of the circuit board 6. For example, the P gear signal can be transmitted to the external main circuit board controller via the wiring harness connector assembly 7, thereby achieving the P gear. Figure 11 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of conductive contact 26 in contact with conductive plate 27, with circuit board 6 in a connected state. When key 5 is released, i.e., when the pressing force is removed, elastic switch member 8 restores its shape and exerts a rebound force on top block 7. Flexible portion 11 strikes stop surface 14, pushing key 5 in the release direction to its initial position.

[0066] In the push button switch disclosed herein, the elastic switch component 8 realizes the comfort of the key, the rigid portion 12 of the top block 7 realizes the functionality of the push button switch, and the flexible portion 11 realizes a buffering effect and reduces the reset noise. Therefore, the push button switch disclosed herein solves the problems of the existing shift handle, not only making the operation of the P gear button comfortable, but also reducing the noise when the P gear button is reset, and also improving the safety of the button. In addition, the push button switch disclosed herein uses fewer parts and requires less material, is compact, simple to assemble, and can reduce product costs.

[0067] The vehicle of the present disclosure includes the push button switch as described above and has the same technical effects and advantages as the steering column combination switch assembly. The push button switch is used as a shift handle in the vehicle of the present disclosure.

[0068] Of course, the button switch disclosed in the present invention can also be used for other switches that realize certain functions by pressing buttons.

[0069] In addition, the technical features disclosed above are not limited to the disclosed combinations with other features. Those skilled in the art can also make other combinations between the technical features according to the purpose of the invention to achieve the purpose of this disclosure.
