Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a switch assembly, a sub-instrument panel assembly and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] A car's secondary instrument panel typically features a switch assembly that interacts with the display screen to adjust volume, scroll through screen pages, and switch modes. Traditional switch assemblies are typically just rotary switches, offering limited functionality, such as rotation and pressing. These simple functions fail to accommodate diverse display control methods. For example, rotating a traditional switch assembly switches display modes, while pressing it scrolls through screen pages. Volume adjustment requires touching the display screen, not the switch. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to improve the functional diversity of a switch assembly.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a switch assembly, including a housing component and a knob switch, a toggle switch and a toggle trigger component arranged on the housing component. The toggle switch is rotatably mounted outside the knob switch, and the toggle switch is configured to swing around the central axis of the knob switch to trigger the toggle trigger component.

[0005] The switch assembly provided by the present invention not only allows the display screen to be operated by rotating and pressing the knob switch, but also integrates a toggle switch within the limited space of the housing assembly to control the display screen by toggling the toggle switch, thereby increasing the functional diversity of the switch assembly. For example, when the switch assembly is applied to an auxiliary instrument assembly, the switch assembly can realize three control functions, such as display mode switching, display page turning, and volume adjustment, by rotating or pressing the knob switch and toggling the toggle switch, thereby increasing the diversity of the display screen control methods of the auxiliary instrument assembly. In addition, the toggle switch of the switch assembly is sleeved outside the knob switch, and only a certain amount of space is required in the radial direction of the knob switch to accommodate the toggle switch, resulting in high integration and space saving. The toggle switch is configured to swing around the central axis of the knob switch to trigger the toggle trigger assembly. In this way, by toggling the toggle switch, the display screen of the auxiliary instrument assembly can also be controlled, such as adjusting the volume of the display screen, making the function of the switch assembly more diverse.

[0006] Furthermore, the toggle trigger assembly includes a trigger rod, a circuit board, and a trigger mating piece arranged on the circuit board. The circuit board is arranged in the housing assembly. The trigger rod is located between the circuit board and the toggle switch, and the trigger rod can be slidably connected to the housing assembly along the axial direction of the knob switch. The toggle switch is used to drive the trigger rod to move along the axial direction of the knob switch by swinging to trigger the trigger mating piece.

[0007] Furthermore, the toggle switch is a cylindrical structure, and one axial end of the toggle switch facing the trigger rod has a first inclined surface in contact with one end of the trigger rod, and the angle between the first inclined surface and the axial direction of the knob switch is an acute angle.

[0008] Furthermore, two first inclined surfaces are provided, and the inclination directions of the two first inclined surfaces are opposite, and the two trigger rods are respectively in contact with the two first inclined surfaces; when the toggle switch swings from the initial position to the first direction, one of the first inclined surfaces drives the corresponding trigger rod to move, and when the toggle switch swings from the initial position to the second direction, the other first inclined surface drives the corresponding trigger rod to move, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the switch assembly also includes a reset structure arranged between the housing component and the toggle switch. When the toggle switch is in a state of triggering the toggle trigger component, the reset structure is in a power storage state.

[0010] Furthermore, the toggle switch is a cylindrical structure, and one axial end of the toggle switch facing the reset structure has a second inclined surface for contacting the reset structure, and the angle between the second inclined surface and the axial direction of the knob switch is an acute angle.

[0011] Furthermore, the toggle switch further has a third inclined surface on one axial end facing the reset structure for contacting the reset structure, and the third inclined surface is inclined in an opposite direction to the second inclined surface and the two are connected;

[0012] In which, when the toggle switch is in the initial position, the connection part between the third inclined surface and the second inclined surface is aligned with the reset structure; when the toggle switch swings from the initial position to the first direction, the second inclined surface drives the reset structure to compress and store force, and when the toggle switch swings from the initial position to the second direction, the third inclined surface drives the reset structure to compress and store force, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing assembly is provided with an axial limiting structure for axially limiting the toggle switch; and / or the housing assembly is provided with a circumferential limiting structure for limiting the swing of the toggle switch within a set angle range.

[0014] The utility model also provides a secondary instrument panel assembly, comprising the switch assembly as described above.

[0015] Since the technical improvements and technical effects of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly are the same as those of the switch assembly, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly will not be described in detail.

[0016] The utility model also provides an automobile, comprising the switch assembly or the auxiliary instrument panel assembly as described above.

[0017] Since the technical improvements and technical effects of the automobile are the same as those of the switch assembly or the auxiliary instrument panel assembly, the automobile will not be described in detail. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0027] Furthermore, the Z-axis in the accompanying drawings represents the vertical direction, that is, the up-down direction, with the positive direction of the Z-axis representing the up direction and the negative direction of the Z-axis representing the down direction; the Y-axis in the accompanying drawings represents the horizontal direction, that is, the left-right direction, with the positive direction of the Y-axis representing the left direction and the negative direction of the Y-axis representing the right direction; and the X-axis in the accompanying drawings represents the longitudinal direction, that is, the front-back direction, with the positive direction of the X-axis representing the front direction and the negative direction of the X-axis representing the back direction. It should also be noted that the aforementioned Z-axis, Y-axis, and X-axis are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-2 A switch assembly of an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing component 1 and a knob switch 3, a toggle switch 2 and a toggle trigger component 4 arranged on the housing component 1. The toggle switch 2 is rotatably mounted outside the knob switch 3. The toggle switch 2 is configured to swing around the central axis of the knob switch 3 to trigger the toggle trigger component 4.

[0029] In addition to realizing the rotation control function and the press control function through the knob switch 3, the switch assembly of this embodiment also integrates the toggle switch 2 within the limited space on the housing component 1, so as to realize the toggle control function through the toggle switch 2, thereby improving the functional diversity of the switch assembly; taking the switch assembly applied to the auxiliary instrument assembly as an example, the switch assembly can realize three control functions such as display mode switching, display page turning, and volume adjustment by rotating or pressing the knob switch 3 and toggling the toggle switch 2, thereby increasing the diversity of the display screen control methods of the auxiliary instrument assembly; and the toggle switch 2 of the switch assembly is arranged on the outside of the knob switch 3, and at most a certain space needs to be left in the radial direction of the knob switch 3 to arrange the toggle switch 2, which has a high degree of integration and saves space.

[0030] Among them, the toggle switch 2 is configured to swing around the central axis of the knob switch 3 to trigger the toggle trigger component 4. In this way, by toggling the toggle switch 2 to swing, the display screen of the auxiliary instrument assembly can also be manipulated, such as adjusting the volume of the display screen, making the function of the switch assembly more diverse.

[0031] The switch assembly is usually located on the top of the auxiliary instrument, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the axial direction of the knob switch 3 refers to the vertical direction; since the toggle switch 2 is sleeved on the outside of the knob switch 3, the axial direction of the toggle switch 2 is also the vertical direction. The toggle switch 2 specifically swings in the horizontal plane, for example, rotates left and right around the vertical direction.

[0032] It is understood that while the toggle switch 2 controls the volume of the display screen, the rotation of the rotary switch 3 can, for example, control the mode switching of the display screen, and the pressing of the rotary switch 3 can, for example, turn the pages of the display screen. The specific structure of the rotary switch 3 may be prior art and is not within the scope of improvement of the present invention, and thus the specific structure of the rotary switch 3 will not be described further.

[0033] Alternatively, see Figure 1-2 The shell assembly 1 is a split structure to facilitate the internal installation of the dial trigger assembly 4. The shell assembly 1 includes a shell body 11, a base 13 and a panel 12. The base 13 is arranged at the bottom of the shell body 11, and the panel 12 is arranged at the top of the shell body 11. The top surface of the panel 12 can be flush with the top surface of the auxiliary instrument to ensure the consistency of the appearance of the auxiliary instrument; the panel 12 is provided with a mounting hole, and the axial part of the knob switch 3 and the dial switch 2 is located in the shell body 11, and the other parts extend to the outside of the panel 12 through the mounting hole to be exposed to the field of vision of the passengers and the driver for easy operation.

[0034] Alternatively, see Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 An intermediate tube 114 is provided in the middle of the housing body 11. The knob switch 3 is partially inserted into the intermediate tube 114, while the toggle switch 2 is sleeved outside the intermediate tube 114. That is to say, the toggle switch 2 is not only sleeved outside the knob switch 3, but also sleeved outside the intermediate tube 114. The intermediate tube 114 can then separate the knob switch 3 and the toggle switch 2 in the radial direction to ensure that the movements of the knob switch 3 and the toggle switch 2 do not affect each other.

[0035] Alternatively, see Figure 2-3The toggle trigger assembly 4 includes a trigger rod 41, a circuit board 42, and a trigger mating piece arranged on the circuit board 42. The trigger rod 41 is located between the circuit board 42 and the knob switch 3, and the trigger rod 41 is connected to the housing assembly 1 in a sliding manner along the axial direction of the knob switch 3. When the toggle switch 2 swings from the initial position, it is used to trigger the trigger mating piece by driving the trigger rod 41 to move along the axial direction of the knob switch 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the circuit board 42 is electrically connected to the display screen. An electrical component, namely a triggering member, is disposed on the circuit board 42. Specifically, the toggle switch 2 is configured so that when it swings vertically from its initial position, it drives the triggering rod 41 downward, thereby triggering the triggering member on the circuit board 42. In other words, the vertical rotation of the toggle switch 2 is converted into vertical movement of the triggering rod 41.

[0037] In this embodiment, the trigger mating part on the circuit board 42 can be a micro switch. When the micro switch is not triggered, it is in the disconnected state. When the toggle switch 2 drives the trigger rod 41 to descend, the trigger rod 41 can press the micro switch below, thereby triggering the micro switch; when the toggle switch 2 is reset to the initial position, the spring inside the micro switch can reset the micro switch to the disconnected state and reset the trigger rod 41 upward.

[0038] Alternatively, see Figure 2-3 The dial trigger assembly 4 also includes an elastic pad 43, which is arranged on the side of the circuit board 42 facing the trigger rod 41, and an elastic protrusion 431 facing the trigger rod 41 is provided at a position corresponding to the elastic pad 43 and the trigger rod 41, and the elastic protrusion 431 is a hollow structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, an elastic pad 43, such as a rubber pad, is provided on the upper side of the circuit board 42. This pad provides insulation. In this case, the trigger rod 41 does not directly contact the trigger mating member on the circuit board 42, but instead contacts the elastic pad 43. This allows for the materials of the trigger rod 41, the toggle switch 2, and the housing assembly 1 to be made of any material, including plastic or metal. When the toggle switch 2 drives the trigger rod 41 downward, the bottom end of the trigger rod 41 causes the hollow elastic protrusion 431 to deform downward. The downwardly deformed elastic protrusion 431 does not hinder the descent of the trigger rod, thereby achieving indirect contact between the bottom end of the trigger rod 41 and the microswitch, thereby triggering the microswitch.

[0040] The toggle trigger assembly 4 may further include a trigger block (not shown). The trigger block is disposed within the elastic protrusion 431 and is connected to the top lower sidewall of the elastic protrusion 431, with the trigger block facing the trigger mating member. Thus, when the trigger rod 41 moves downward, the downwardly deformed elastic protrusion 431 can trigger the microswitch via the trigger block without deforming too much, preventing the elastic protrusion 431 from being unable to recover its shape after excessive deformation. When the toggle switch 2 is reset to its initial position, the elastic protrusion 431 drives the trigger block upward, separating the trigger block from the trigger mating member below. Simultaneously, the elastic protrusion 431 also drives the trigger rod 41 upward.

[0041] In other embodiments, since the elastic protrusion 431 can reset the trigger rod 41 upward, the triggering member on the circuit board 42 may not be a microswitch with an internal spring. In this case, the triggering member may include a positive conductive terminal and a negative conductive terminal spaced apart, while the trigger block is a conductive member. When the trigger rod 41 descends, driving the triggering block downward as well, the triggering block will simultaneously contact the positive and negative conductive terminals, thereby energizing the positive and negative conductive terminals and thereby triggering the triggering member.

[0042] Alternatively, see Figure 2 The toggle switch 2 is a cylindrical structure, and the axial end of the toggle switch 2 facing the trigger rod 41 has a first inclined surface 2111 in contact with one end of the trigger rod 41, and the angle between the first inclined surface 2111 and the axial direction of the knob switch 3 is an acute angle.

[0043] In this embodiment, the toggle switch 2 is a cylindrical structure that is sleeved over the rotary switch 3. One axial end of the toggle switch 2, i.e., the lower end shown in the figure, has a first inclined surface 2111. The first inclined surface 2111 forms an acute angle with the axial direction of the rotary switch 3. In other words, the first inclined surface 2111 forms an acute angle with the vertical direction, and the first inclined surface 2111 contacts and engages with the trigger rod 41. Thus, when the toggle switch 2 rotates and swings about the vertical direction, the first inclined surface 2111 can drive the trigger rod 41 downward.

[0044] Among them, see Figure 2 One axial end (the lower end shown in the figure) of the cylindrical toggle switch 2 may be protruded with a special-shaped protrusion 211, and the lower side of the special-shaped protrusion 211 is not a horizontal surface, but includes the aforementioned first inclined surface 2111.

[0045] Alternatively, see Figure 2-3, there are two first inclined surfaces 2111, the inclination directions of the two first inclined surfaces 2111 are opposite, and the two trigger rods 41 are in one-to-one contact with the two first inclined surfaces 2111 respectively; wherein, when the toggle switch 2 swings from the initial position to the first direction, one of the first inclined surfaces 2111 drives the corresponding trigger rod 41 to move, and when the toggle switch 2 swings from the initial position to the second direction, the other first inclined surface 2111 drives the corresponding trigger rod 41 to move, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the two first inclined surfaces 2111 are inclined in opposite directions, that is, one first inclined surface 2111 is inclined in the clockwise direction of the toggle switch 2, and the other first inclined surface 2111 is inclined in the counterclockwise direction of the toggle switch 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the two first inclined surfaces 2111 may be in an "eight" shape. Figure 3 When the toggle switch 2 swings leftward in a clockwise direction (or the first direction), the first inclined surface 2111 on the right side of the diagram drives the corresponding trigger rod 41 downward. When the toggle switch 2 swings rightward in a counterclockwise direction (or the second direction), the first inclined surface 2111 on the left side of the diagram drives the corresponding trigger rod 41 downward. This ensures that the toggle switch 2 can trigger the corresponding triggering member regardless of the direction it swings. For example, when the toggle switch 2 swings leftward, the volume of the display screen can be increased, and when it swings rightward, the volume of the display screen can be decreased.

[0047] Among them, see Figure 2-3 When the special-shaped protrusion 211 is protruded from one axial end of the toggle switch 2, two special-shaped protrusions 211 are provided, and the two special-shaped protrusions 211 respectively have one of the aforementioned first inclined surfaces, and the first inclined surfaces 2111 of the two special-shaped protrusions 211 have opposite inclined directions.

[0048] In other embodiments, the toggle switch 2 may also convert its horizontal swing into the vertical movement of the trigger rod 41 through a gear transmission structure.

[0049] Alternatively, see Figure 2-3 The switch assembly also includes a reset structure 5 arranged between the housing component 1 and the toggle switch 2. When the toggle switch 2 is in a state of triggering the toggle trigger component 4, the reset structure 5 is in a power storage state.

[0050] In this embodiment, a reset structure 5 is provided between the housing body 11 and the toggle switch 2 to reset the toggle switch 2 to an initial position without manual reset operation.

[0051] In one embodiment, the reset structure 5 can be arranged between the housing assembly 1 and the axial end face of the toggle switch 2. It is a structure that can be compressed in the vertical direction to store force. When the toggle switch 2 swings, the toggle switch 2 will not only drive the trigger rod 41 to descend, but also drive the reset structure 5 to compress and store force. When the occupant releases the toggle switch 2, the force-stored reset structure 5 will drive the toggle switch 2 to return to its initial position.

[0052] In other embodiments, the reset structure 5 may also be disposed between the outer wall of the toggle switch 2 and the housing assembly 1. In this case, the reset structure 5 may be a torsion spring, one end of which is connected to the outer wall of the toggle switch 2 and the other end is connected to the housing assembly 1. When the toggle switch 2 swings, the torsion spring stretches and accumulates force. When the occupant releases the toggle switch 2, the accumulated force in the torsion spring drives the toggle switch 2 to return to its initial position.

[0053] Alternatively, see Figure 2 The reset structure 5 is arranged between the housing assembly 1 and the axial end face of the toggle switch 2. The toggle switch 2 is a cylindrical structure, and the toggle switch 2 has an axial end facing the reset structure 5 with a second inclined surface 2112 for contacting the reset structure 5. The angle between the second inclined surface 2112 and the axial direction of the knob switch 3 is an acute angle.

[0054] In this embodiment, for example, the second inclined surface 2112 is inclined in the clockwise direction toward the toggle switch 2. Then, when the toggle switch 2 is swung counterclockwise, the second inclined surface 2112 moving counterclockwise will compress the reset structure 5 and accumulate force. After releasing the hand, the reset structure 5 can reset the toggle switch 2 to its initial position.

[0055] Alternatively, see Figure 2 The toggle switch 2 further has a third inclined surface 2113 on one axial end facing the reset structure 5 for contacting the reset structure 5. The third inclined surface 2113 is inclined in the opposite direction to the second inclined surface 2112 and the two are connected.

[0056] In which, when the toggle switch 2 is in the initial position, the connection part between the third inclined surface 2113 and the second inclined surface 2112 is aligned with the reset structure 5; when the toggle switch 2 swings from the initial position to the first direction, the second inclined surface 2112 drives the reset structure 5 to compress and store force; when the toggle switch 2 swings from the initial position to the second direction, the third inclined surface 2113 drives the reset structure 5 to compress and store force, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, one axial end of the toggle switch 2 has not only a second inclined surface 2112, but also a third inclined surface 2113, and the inclination direction of the third inclined surface 2113 is opposite to that of the second inclined surface 2112 and the two are connected. For example, the second inclined surface 2112 is inclined in the clockwise direction of the toggle switch 2, and the third inclined surface 2113 is inclined in the counterclockwise direction of the toggle switch 2. Moreover, after the third inclined surface 2113 is connected to the second inclined surface 2112, a triangular area with an opening facing downward is formed between the two, and the reset structure 5 is placed in the triangular area. In this way, no matter whether the toggle switch 2 swings in the clockwise direction (or the first direction) or the counterclockwise direction (or the second direction), the reset structure 5 will be compressed and stored.

[0058] Alternatively, see Figure 2-3 The toggle switch 2 may be provided with a protruding, axially extending end thereof facing the reset structure 5, having a special-shaped protrusion 211. The special-shaped protrusion 211 has a second inclined surface 2112 and a third inclined surface 2113 on the side facing the reset structure 5. Furthermore, the special-shaped protrusion 211 that serves as a carrier for the second inclined surface 2112 and the third inclined surface 2113 may be the same special-shaped protrusion 211 that serves as a carrier for the first inclined surface 2111. That is, the same special-shaped protrusion 211 may have not only a first inclined surface 2111 but also a second inclined surface 2112 and a third inclined surface 2113, facilitating integrated machining.

[0059] Specifically, see Figure 2 The reset structure 5 may include a push rod 52 and a reset spring 51. The bottom end of the reset spring 51 may be fixed to the base 13 or the housing body 11. The top end of the reset spring 51 is connected to the bottom end of the push rod 52. The top end of the push rod 52 is positioned in the opening formed between the third inclined surface 2113 and the second inclined surface 2112. When the toggle switch 2 swings, the second inclined surface 2112 or the third inclined surface 2113 presses down the push rod 52. The descending push rod 52 compresses the reset spring 51, causing the reset spring 51 to accumulate force.

[0060] Specifically, see Figure 4-5 A first guide groove 112 can also be provided on the shell body 11, and the trigger rod 41 is vertically slidably connected to the first guide groove 112 to ensure the stability of the movement of the trigger rod 41; a second guide groove 113 is also provided on the shell body 11, and the top rod 52 is vertically slidably connected to the second guide groove 113 to ensure the stability of the movement of the top rod 52.

[0061] Optionally, the housing assembly 1 is provided with an axial limiting structure (not shown in the figure) for axially limiting the toggle switch 2; and / or, the housing assembly 1 is provided with a circumferential limiting structure, which is used to limit the swing of the toggle switch 2 within a set angle range.

[0062] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 1 includes an axial limit structure to limit the axial position of the toggle switch 2, allowing the toggle switch 2 to rotate and swing only about the central axis of the rotary switch 3. This prevents the rotary switch 3 from lowering the toggle switch 2 and the trigger rod 41 when the rotary switch 3 is pressed, thereby preventing the trigger assembly from being accidentally triggered. It also prevents the toggle switch 2 from being accidentally pressed and causing the trigger assembly to be accidentally triggered.

[0063] Among them, see Figure 2-3 Optionally, the toggle switch 2 includes a relatively fixed main sleeve 21 and a secondary sleeve 22. The secondary sleeve 22 is sleeved on the top of the main sleeve 21 and has a radially protruding handle 221. The passenger or driver can use the handle 221 to toggle the toggle switch 2. The bottom end of the main sleeve 21 has an annular protrusion 212 protruding radially. In this way, the axial limit structure provided on the housing assembly 1 can axially limit the annular protrusion 212, so that the toggle switch 2 can only rotate and swing around the central axis of the knob switch 3.

[0064] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 1 is provided with not only an axial limiting structure but also a circumferential limiting structure. For example, a circumferential limiting structure is provided on the housing body 11 to limit the swing angle of the toggle switch 2. For example, the set rotation angle range of the toggle switch 2 is [-30° to 30°]. When the toggle switch 2 swings to 30°, it indicates that the toggle switch 2 swings clockwise from the initial position to the limit position; when the toggle switch 2 swings to -30°, it indicates that the toggle switch 2 swings counterclockwise from the initial position to the limit position. The circumferential limiting structure can be a limiting groove 111 provided on the housing body 11, into which the aforementioned special-shaped protrusion 211 is inserted. The limiting groove 111 limits the swing angle range of the special-shaped protrusion 211, thereby limiting the swing angle range of the toggle switch 2.

[0065] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a secondary instrument panel assembly, including the switch assembly described above.

[0066] Since the technical improvements and technical effects of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly are the same as those of the switch assembly, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly will not be described in detail.

[0067] A car according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the switch assembly or the auxiliary instrument panel assembly as described above.

[0068] Since the technical improvements and technical effects of the automobile are the same as those of the switch assembly or the auxiliary instrument panel assembly, the automobile will not be described in detail.

[0069] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0070] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
