[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a headlight delay-off structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where the headlight knob, as an important component for controlling the lights inside a car, facilitates the driver's adjustment of the headlights. However, with the passage of time and increased usage frequency, the headlight knob will experience wear and tear, which not only affects its operating feel and service life, but may also pose a potential threat to the overall safety of the vehicle.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a headlight delayed-off structure, comprising:

[0007] A vehicle light switch and a knob, wherein the knob is rotatably mounted on the center of one side of the outer surface of the vehicle light switch;

[0008] A protective assembly includes a square groove, a fixing hole, a protective cover, a through groove, a first fixing bracket, a first fixing post, a second fixing bracket, and a second fixing post. The square groove is located at the center of one side of the outer surface of the knob. The fixing hole is located on both sides inside the square groove. The protective cover covers the outside of the knob. The through groove is located at the center of one side of the protective cover. The first fixing bracket is slidably installed inside one side of the through groove. The first fixing post is fixed to one end of the first fixing bracket, and the end of the first fixing post extends into the fixing hole on one side. The second fixing bracket is slidably installed inside the other side of the through groove. The second fixing post is fixed to one end of the second fixing bracket, and the end of the second fixing post extends into the fixing hole on the other side.

[0009] Furthermore, limiting grooves are provided on both sides inside the through groove, and the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame are F-shaped, and the lower end crossbars of the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame are slidably installed inside the limiting grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, a first spring is fixed between the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame, and the first spring is located inside the square groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper crossbar of the first fixing frame has a through hole, and the upper crossbar of the second fixing frame is fixedly connected to a connecting block, with the end of the connecting block extending into the through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an installation component, which includes an installation slot, a second spring, and a retaining post. The installation slot is located at the four corners of the headlight switch, the second spring is fixed inside the installation slot, the retaining post is fixed to one end of the second spring, and the outer end of the retaining post has an inclined groove.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the vehicle light switch has four unlocking slots, and the unlocking slots are interconnected with the mounting slots. A side connecting rod is fixed on one side of the locking post, and the side connecting rod slides through the inside of the unlocking slot.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model, through the design of a vehicle light switch, knob, and protective components, allows the user to press the first and second fixing brackets towards the center before use. This compresses the first spring, and the first and second fixing brackets move synchronously towards the center. Under the limitation of the limiting groove, the first and second fixing brackets can only move towards the center. Then, the protective cover is placed on the outer surface of the knob. At this time, the ends of the first and second fixing brackets extend into the square groove. Then, the user releases the hand that pressed the first and second fixing brackets. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring, the first spring returns to its deformation, causing the first and second fixing posts to engage with the fixing holes. The protective cover is then installed on the outer surface of the knob, reducing wear on the knob. The protective cover can effectively cover the outer surface of the knob, reducing wear caused by prolonged use and extending the life of the knob. The entire installation process does not require the use of additional tools, reducing the complexity and time cost of operation.

[0016] II. Based on the first beneficial effect, the installation components allow for simple installation of the headlight switch. Workers simply press the switch inwards, causing the retaining pin to contact the dashboard. Guided by the inclined groove on the outside of the retaining pin, the second spring compresses, simultaneously moving the retaining pin into the mounting groove. As the retaining pin touches the rear of the dashboard, the spring quickly returns to its original shape, moving the retaining pin outwards. To remove the headlight switch, simply push the side connecting rod inwards to compress the second spring, allowing the outer end of the retaining pin to be submerged in the mounting groove, enabling direct removal of the headlight switch. Similarly, to replace or repair the headlight switch, simply push the side connecting rod inwards to easily compress the second spring, submerging the retaining pin in the mounting groove, thus quickly removing the headlight switch. This makes the removal process equally simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment is a headlight delayed-off structure, including:

[0031] The headlight switch 11 and the knob 12 are rotatably mounted on the center of one side of the outer surface of the headlight switch 11.

[0032] The headlight switch 11, as the main operating device for controlling the turning on and off of the headlights, is located in a position easily accessible to the driver. The knob 12 is rotatably mounted on the center of one side of the outer surface of the headlight switch 11 and is used to switch different lighting modes by rotating it.

[0033] The protective assembly includes a square groove 21, a fixing hole 22, a protective cover 23, a through groove 24, a first fixing bracket 25, a first fixing post 251, a second fixing bracket 27, and a second fixing post 271. The square groove 21 is opened at the center of one side of the outer surface of the knob 12. The fixing hole 22 is opened on both sides inside the square groove 21. The protective cover 23 covers the outside of the knob 12. The through groove 24 is opened at the center of one side of the protective cover 23. The first fixing bracket 25 is slidably installed inside one side of the through groove 24. The first fixing post 251 is fixed to one end of the first fixing bracket 25, and the end of the first fixing post 251 extends into the fixing hole 22 on one side. The second fixing bracket 27 is slidably installed inside the other side of the through groove 24. The second fixing post 271 is fixed to one end of the second fixing bracket 27, and the end of the second fixing post 271 extends into the fixing hole 22 on the other side.

[0034] The square groove 21 is used to accommodate and position the protective cover 23. The fixing hole 22 is used to cooperate with the first fixing post 251 and the second fixing post 271 to achieve stable fixation of the protective cover 23. The protective cover 23 protects the knob 12 from damage by external factors. The end of the first fixing post 251 extends into the fixing hole 22 on one side to achieve stable connection of the protective cover 23. The end of the second fixing post 271 extends into the fixing hole 22 on the other side and works together with the first fixing post 251 to achieve firm fixation of the protective cover 23.

[0035] Limiting grooves 241 are provided on both sides inside the through groove 24, and the first fixing frame 25 and the second fixing frame 27 are F-shaped. The lower crossbars of the first fixing frame 25 and the second fixing frame 27 are slidably installed inside the limiting grooves 241. A first spring 29 is fixed in the middle of the first fixing frame 25 and the second fixing frame 27, and the first spring 29 is located inside the square groove 21. The upper crossbar of the first fixing frame 25 is provided with a through hole 26. The upper crossbar of the second fixing frame 27 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 28, and the end of the connecting block 28 extends into the through hole 26.

[0036] The limiting groove 241 is used to limit the sliding range of the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27, ensuring that they can only move within a predetermined path, thereby improving installation accuracy and stability. The first spring 29 is connected in the middle of the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27, providing elastic force so that the first fixing post 251 and the second fixing post 271 can be tightly inserted into the fixing hole 22, ensuring the stable installation of the protective cover 23.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Before use, the user can press the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27 towards the middle to compress the first spring 29. The first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27 will move towards the middle synchronously. Under the limit of the limiting groove 241, the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27 can only move towards the middle. Then, the protective cover 23 is placed on the outer surface of the knob 12. At this time, the ends of the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27 extend into the square groove 21. Then, the user releases the hand that pressed the first fixing bracket 25 and the second fixing bracket 27. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring, the first spring 29 returns to its deformation, so that the first fixing post 251 and the second fixing post 271 are inserted into the fixing hole 22. The protective cover 23 is installed on the outer surface of the knob 12 to reduce the wear of the knob 12. The protective cover 23 can effectively cover the outer surface of the knob 12 and reduce the wear caused by long-term use.

[0039] This step extends the lifespan of knob 12. The entire installation process requires no additional tools, reducing operational complexity and time costs.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown; this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0041] The mounting components include mounting slots 31, second springs 33, and locking posts 34. The mounting slots 31 are located at the four corners of the headlight switch 11. The second springs 33 are fixed inside the mounting slots 31. The locking posts 34 are fixed to one end of the second springs 33, and the outer end of the locking posts 34 has an inclined groove. One side of the headlight switch 11 has four unlocking slots 32, and the unlocking slots 32 are interconnected with the mounting slots 31. A side connecting rod 35 is fixed to one side of the locking posts 34, and the side connecting rod 35 slides through the interior of the unlocking slots 32.

[0042] Mounting slot 31 is used to accommodate the second spring 33 and the locking post 34, providing a basic structure and positioning for the entire mounting assembly. When the headlight switch 11 is pressed and installed, the second spring 33 is compressed; after installation, the second spring 33 returns to its original shape, pushing the locking post 34 to lock the headlight switch and ensure its stability. The side connecting rod 35 serves as an operating lever to control the movement of the locking post 34.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] When installing the headlight switch 11, the operator only needs to press the headlight switch 11 inward, and the retaining post 34 will contact the car dashboard. Under the guidance of the inclined groove on the outside of the retaining post 34, the second spring 33 is compressed and simultaneously drives the retaining post 34 to move into the mounting groove 31. When the retaining post 34 touches the back of the car dashboard, under the elastic force of the spring, the second spring 33 will quickly restore its deformation and drive the retaining post 34 to move outward. When it is necessary to remove the headlight switch 11, simply push the side connecting rod 35 inward to compress the second spring 33, so that the outer end of the retaining post 34 is inserted into the mounting groove 31, and the headlight switch 11 can be directly removed.

[0045] In this step, when the headlight switch needs to be replaced or repaired, simply push the side connecting rod 35 inward to easily compress the second spring 33, so that the locking post 34 is inserted into the mounting groove 31, thereby quickly removing the headlight switch 11, making the disassembly process equally simple and quick.
