DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 , a translucent automobile button includes an installation base box 1, a panel 2 is provided on the upper surface of the installation base box 1, two first installation slots 3 and a second installation slot 4 are provided on the upper surface of the installation base box 1, the two first installation slots 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second installation slot 4, and the lower inner walls of the two first installation slots 3 are respectively provided with a first color light 5 and a second color light 6, the first color light 5 can be red, and the second color light 6 can be blue, and two first through holes 7 and a second through hole 8 are provided on the surface of the panel 2, the two first through holes 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second through hole 8, and a translucent adjustment button 9 is slidably connected inside the two first through holes 7, a control base box 10 and a control button 11 slidably connected thereto are provided inside the second installation slot 4, a first spring 12 is provided between the lower surface of the adjustment button 9 and the lower inner wall of the first installation slot 3, and the first spring 12 is provided to ensure that the adjustment button 9 can be reset after being pressed. Two second springs 13 are provided between the lower surface of the control button 11 and the upper surface of the control base box 10. Two accommodating grooves 25 are provided on the upper surface of the control base box 10. The inner walls on both sides of the second mounting groove 4 are provided with slide grooves 14. The inner walls on the sides of the two slide grooves 14 are provided with two clamping grooves 15. The front and rear inner walls of the second mounting groove 4 are respectively provided with a first travel switch 16 and a second travel switch 17. The first travel switch 16 is electrically connected to the first color light 5, and the second travel switch 17 is electrically connected to the second color light 6. A fixing device is provided inside the two accommodating grooves 25. The fixing device is slidably connected to the slide groove 14 and is clamped with the clamping groove 15.

[0020] The fixing device includes two driving blocks 18 and a slider 19. The upper ends of the two driving blocks 18 are connected to the lower surface of the control button 11. The cross-sectional shapes of the multiple driving blocks 18 are all trapezoidal, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. A third spring 20 is provided between the slider 19 and the inner wall of one side of the accommodating groove 25. A clamping block 21 is provided on the side surface of the slider 19 close to the slide groove 14. The clamping block 21 slides through the inner wall of one side of the accommodating groove 25 and extends into the slide groove 14.

[0021] Two limiting rods 22 are provided between the inner walls on both sides of the accommodating groove 25, and the two limiting rods 22 are slidably passed through the slider 19. The two limiting rods 22 are provided to ensure the smooth movement of the slider 19.

[0022] The corners of the two driving blocks 18 are all cambered transitions, which prevent the driving blocks 18 from scratching the slider 19.

[0023] The end of the clamping block 21 close to the slide groove 14 is an arc surface, and the cross section of the clamping groove 15 is an arc shape. The arc can make the clamping block 21 enter the clamping groove 15 or leave the clamping groove 15 very smoothly.

[0024] The control box 10 has two T-shaped slots 23 on both its front and back surfaces. T-shaped blocks 24 are slidably connected to the interior of each of the T-shaped slots 23. The upper ends of the T-shaped blocks 24 slide through the control box 10 and connect to the lower surface of the control button 11. The T-shaped blocks 24 can slide up and down within the T-shaped slots 23 without falling out of them.

[0025] Working principle: By pushing the control button 11, the control base box 10 is driven to move forward or backward through the connection between the T-shaped slot 23 and the T-shaped block 24. When the clamping block 21 enters the clamping slot 15, the third spring 20 is in a compressed state, which will make the clamping block 21 firmly press against the inner wall of the clamping slot 15. The clamping block 21 will be worn out after long-term use. The clamping block 21 is still subjected to the force of the third spring 20 and will still firmly press against the inner wall of the clamping slot 15. It will not cause the control button 11 to shift, and will not affect the judgment of the indoor temperature in the car, and the air conditioner will not stop running. By controlling the base box 10 to touch the first travel switch 16 or the second travel switch 17 on the front and rear inner walls of the second mounting slot 4, the first color light 5 or the second color light 6 can be controlled to light up. Different light colors are displayed by the light-transmitting adjustment button 9 in different modes, which makes it very convenient to judge whether the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode, and the driving experience is good. When it is necessary to switch modes, by pressing the control button 11, since the cross-sectional shape of the driving block 18 is a trapezoid with a narrow bottom and a wide top, the driving block 18 will cause the slider 19 to move away from the slide groove 14, so that the clamping block 21 disengages from the clamping groove 15, and the fixing device can be dragged to move toward the other clamping groove 15. Then, there is no need to apply downward force to the control button 11, and the control button 11 is reset by the second spring 13. When the clamping block 21 enters the other clamping groove 15, the control base box 10 will touch the first travel switch 16 or the second travel switch 17 of the other mode, and the first color light 5 or the second color light 6 of the other mode can be lit.

[0026] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
