Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, specifically to a switch panel for installation on an automotive dashboard. Background Technology

[0002] In modern automobiles, turntable switches serve as crucial components controlling various in-vehicle functions, and their design and manufacturing quality directly impact the driver's experience and vehicle safety. Traditional turntable switches typically consist of multiple independent switch assemblies mechanically connected and mounted on the dashboard. However, with the increasing electrification and intelligence of automobiles, higher demands are placed on the functionality and integration of turntable switches. Traditional design methods have limitations in meeting the space utilization, ease of operation, and aesthetic requirements of modern vehicles.

[0003] While existing switchgear technology meets the above requirements to some extent, it still has some shortcomings. For example, some switchgear requires complex assembly steps during installation, increasing production costs and time; and some switches are prone to poor contact and wear after long-term use, affecting product reliability and service life.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a switch for installation on automotive dashboards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a series of switches for installation on an automotive dashboard to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

Multiple button holes are arranged side-by-side on the housing assembly, and a button assembly is located at the front end of each button hole. Each button assembly consists of multiple buttons, and each button has a button root extending into a button hole. A spring fulcrum is installed within the button hole, and a return spring is provided between the spring fulcrum and the button root.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, silver-plated bright trim strips are installed between adjacent buttons on the button assembly. The silver-plated bright trim strips are installed on the housing assembly, and each button is equipped with a PC light guide strip.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the housing assembly is provided with a housing back cover plate at the rear end, the housing back cover plate is snapped into the housing assembly, and the front end of the housing back cover plate is provided with a circuit board positioning post, and the rear end is provided with an interface socket.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a circuit board assembly is mounted on the housing assembly. The front end of the circuit board assembly is provided with multiple sets of tactile switches, each of which corresponds to a button. An interface pin socket is mounted on the back of the circuit board assembly, and the interface pin socket is plugged into an interface socket.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention relates to a manifold switch for installation on an automotive dashboard, providing a compact, easy-to-operate, and highly integrated design. By arranging multiple buttons side-by-side on a housing assembly and employing return springs to ensure button stability and durability, the convenience and reliability of operation are improved. The use of a silver-plated bright trim not only enhances the product's aesthetics but also improves the user's tactile experience. The application of a PC light guide strip ensures the buttons remain clearly visible at night or in low-light conditions, enhancing operational intuitiveness. Furthermore, the integrated design of the circuit board assembly simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs and time, and improves the overall performance and lifespan of the product. This invention offers significant advantages in meeting the modern automotive requirements for space utilization, ease of operation, aesthetics, and safety performance. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a row of switches installed on an automotive dashboard: it includes a housing assembly 1, on which multiple parallel button holes 11 are provided. A button assembly 3 is correspondingly provided at the front end of each button hole 11. The button assembly 3 consists of multiple buttons, each with a button root 31. The button root 31 extends into the button hole 11 and cooperates with a spring fulcrum 12 installed within the button hole. A return spring 5 is provided between the spring fulcrum 12 and the button root 31 to ensure the stability and durability of the button.

[0019] On the button assembly 3, silver-plated bright trim strips 4 are installed between adjacent buttons. These silver-plated bright trim strips 4 not only enhance the aesthetics of the product but also improve the tactile experience during operation. Each button is also equipped with a PC light guide strip 32, which makes the buttons clearly visible at night or in low-light environments, enhancing the intuitiveness of operation.

[0020] A back cover plate 2 is provided at the rear of the housing assembly 1, and the back cover plate 2 is snapped into the housing assembly 1. A circuit board positioning post 21 is provided at the front end of the back cover plate 2, and an interface socket 22 is provided at the rear end. A circuit board assembly 6 is mounted on the housing assembly 1. The front end of the circuit board assembly 6 is provided with multiple sets of tactile switches 62, and each tactile switch 62 corresponds to a button. An interface pin header 61 is mounted on the back of the circuit board assembly 6, and the interface pin header 61 is inserted into the interface socket 22.

[0021] Work style:

[0022] When a user operates the switch bar, pressing a button causes the button base 31 to move downwards, compressing the return spring 5. When the finger leaves the button, the return spring 5 provides a restoring force, returning the button base 31 to its original position, ensuring button stability and responsiveness. The use of the silver-plated bright trim 4 and the PC light guide strip 32 not only enhances the product's appearance and user experience but also ensures visibility under various lighting conditions.

[0023] The circuit board assembly 6 detects button presses via a tactile switch 62 and transmits the signal to the vehicle's electronic control system. The connection between the interface pin header 61 and the interface socket 22 ensures the electrical connection between the circuit board assembly 6 and other electronic components of the vehicle, thereby enabling control of in-vehicle functions.

[0024] This utility model's modular switch, through optimized design, simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs and time, and simultaneously improves the overall performance and service life of the product. Its compact structure, ease of operation, and high integration meet the requirements of modern automobiles for space utilization, operational convenience, aesthetics, and safety performance.
