Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a multi-function steering wheel control switch for automobiles, including a housing 1. Connecting boxes 6 are provided on both the left and right sides of the housing 1. A first sliding groove 15 is provided on the front side of each of the two connecting boxes 6. An arc-shaped plate 20 is slidably connected within each of the two first sliding grooves 15. A square box 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of each of the two arc-shaped plates 20. A second sliding groove 19 is provided on the rear side of each of the two arc-shaped plates 20. A crossbar 18 is slidably connected within each of the two second sliding grooves 19. A connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of each of the two connecting boxes 6. The rear side of each connecting block 16 is rotatably connected to the crossbar 18. A ratchet 17 is fixedly connected to the front side of each of the two crossbars 18. A limiting block 23 is provided at the top of the ratchet 17. The limiting block 23 passes through the connecting block 16 and extends to the surface of the housing 1. The limiting block 23 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 16. An adjustment assembly is provided inside the housing 1 to adjust the left and right spacing.

[0024] The arc plate 20 can slide in the first slide groove 15. Pulling the arc plate 20 can drive the crossbar 18 on the back to rotate on the connecting block 16. The limiting block 23 can restrict the ratchet 17 from rotating in the opposite direction, preventing the arc plate 20 from falling.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The adjustment assembly includes a disc 9, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. Two grooves 10 are formed on the surface of the disc 9, and a connecting rod 11 is slidably connected in each of the two grooves 10. The two connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to two connecting boxes 6 respectively. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the outer casing 1. A tension spring 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating rod 13, and the top of the tension spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1.

[0026] The rotation of the disc 9 causes the connecting rod 11 to slide within the groove 10, allowing the connecting rod 11 to move to both sides. The rotation of the rotating rod 13 causes the disc 9 to rotate, and the tension spring 14 causes the rotating rod 13 to return to its original position when no force is applied.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 A limiting box 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A spring 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the limiting box 24. A ball 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 25. Limiting grooves 22 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the disc 9. Multiple limiting teeth 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the disc 9.

[0028] The sphere 26 can be inserted into the limiting groove 22, so that the disk 9 will not easily wobble.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The bottom of the outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to the connector 2, and semi-circular rings 5 ​​are provided on both the left and right sides of the outer shell 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The upper and lower ends of the two semicircular rings 5 ​​on opposite sides are fixedly connected to telescopic rods 4, and the output ends of the two adjacent telescopic rods 4 on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to a connecting ring 3.

[0031] The telescopic rod 4 is used to accommodate the movement of the connecting rings 3 on both sides.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The bottom connecting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 A knob 21 is provided on the front side of the limiting block 23.

[0034] The knob 21 can drive the limit block 23 to rotate.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 Both square boxes 7 have multiple buttons 8 on their front sides.

[0036] The different raised textures on button 8 make it easy for users to identify the corresponding button by touch while driving.

[0037] Working principle: The arc plate 20 can slide in the first slide groove 15. Pulling the arc plate 20 can drive the crossbar 18 on the back to rotate on the connecting block 16. The limiting block 23 can restrict the ratchet 17 from rotating in the opposite direction, preventing the arc plate 20 from falling. The knob 21 can drive the limiting block 23 to rotate, thereby making the ratchet 17 unrestricted and the arc plate 20 can fall freely. The rotating rod 13 can touch the limiting tooth 12, causing the disc 9 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 9 causes the connecting rod 11 to slide in the groove 10, causing the connecting rod 11 to move to both sides, thereby driving the connecting boxes 6 on both sides to move. The telescopic rod 4 is used to adapt to the movement of the connecting rings 3 on both sides. The ball 26 can be inserted into the limiting groove 22, so that the disc 9 will not easily shake. The tension spring 14 makes the rotating rod 13 reset when there is no force. The different raised textures on the button 8 make it easy for the user to identify the corresponding button by touch when driving.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
