Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to a vehicle-integrated door control switch and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for vehicle performance. In addition to strong power and better fuel economy, vehicles also need more convenient and efficient door control devices. Currently available vehicle door control switches have relatively limited functionality; a single switch can only control the unlocking of one door or the raising and lowering of one window. Therefore, multiple door control switches are needed to control multiple doors and windows, resulting in low integration, inconvenient operation, and complex structure, negatively impacting the overall user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vehicle integrated door control switch and vehicle that can simultaneously control the raising and lowering of multiple windows and the unlocking of doors, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An integrated vehicle door control switch is installed on a vehicle door and can control the raising and lowering of vehicle windows and the unlocking of vehicle doors. The integrated vehicle door control switch includes:

[0006] Mounting bracket, used for mounting on the car door;

[0007] The button mechanism includes a circuit board and a button. The circuit board is mounted on the mounting base, and the button is movably mounted on the mounting base and can respond to external force to move relative to the mounting base, triggering the circuit board and generating a door unlocking signal.

[0008] A knob mechanism includes a knob ring and a resistor. The knob ring is sleeved around the button and rotatably connected to the mounting base so that the knob ring can rotate relative to the button. The resistor is disposed between the knob ring and the button and mounted on the mounting base. Furthermore, a contact is provided on the inner side of the knob ring. The contact can contact the resistor and slide relative to the resistor as the knob ring rotates, so that the first contact and the resistor form a sliding rheostat.

[0009] The knob ring can rotate relative to the button in a first direction or a second direction. When the knob ring rotates in the first direction, the resistance of the sliding rheostat connected to the circuit increases sequentially and generates a glass rising signal. When the knob ring rotates in the second direction, the resistance of the sliding rheostat connected to the circuit decreases sequentially and generates a glass falling signal.

[0010] Understandably, this application integrates the control switches for window raising and lowering and door unlocking into a single door control switch by setting up a button mechanism and a knob mechanism. This not only saves space inside the vehicle but also makes operation more convenient. At the same time, by using the sliding rheostat formed by the contacts on the inner side of the knob ring and the resistor to sequentially increase or decrease the resistance, corresponding glass raising or lowering signals are generated. In this way, precise control of window raising and lowering can be achieved through the simple operation of rotating the knob ring. The operation is simple and intuitive, and the structure is simple, which further enhances the overall user experience of the vehicle.

[0011] In one embodiment, the resistor includes a first resistor and a second resistor, and the contact includes a first contact and a second contact; the first resistor and the second resistor are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the knob ring; the first contact cooperates with the first resistor to generate a first glass rise or fall signal, and the second contact cooperates with the second resistor to generate a second glass rise or fall signal.

[0012] Understandably, the first and second glass can be any two pieces of glass on the vehicle. Through the cooperation of contacts and resistors, the first or second glass can be raised or lowered respectively, thereby fulfilling the user's need to control multiple glass pieces with one door switch.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first resistor has a protrusion extending circumferentially along the knob ring, the protrusion protruding from the surface of the first resistor and forming a first clearance groove on the surface of the first resistor; the surface of the second resistor has a second clearance groove extending circumferentially along the knob ring; the protrusion engages with the first contact, the first clearance groove is used to avoid the second contact, and the second clearance groove is used to avoid the first contact;

[0014] The protruding direction of the protrusion and the recessing direction of the second clearance groove are both along the radial direction of the knob ring, and the protruding direction of the protrusion is opposite to the recessing direction of the second clearance groove.

[0015] Understandably, the first clearance groove ensures that the second window is not disturbed during the process of the first resistor and the first contact point making contact to achieve the first window lifting function. Conversely, the second clearance groove ensures that the first window is not disturbed during the process of the second resistor and the second contact point making contact to achieve the second window lifting function. In this way, a single knob mechanism can control the lifting of the two windows separately without interfering with each other.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second contact includes a connecting plate and a protrusion. The connecting plate is connected to the knob ring, and the protrusion is mounted on the connecting plate and forms a third clearance groove between the protrusion and the connecting plate. The third clearance groove is used to avoid the protrusion.

[0017] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is set to two, and the two protrusions are spaced apart along the axial direction of the knob ring and form the third clearance groove.

[0018] In one embodiment, both the first resistor and the second resistor are arranged in an arc shape.

[0019] Understandably, the arc-shaped design allows the first and second resistors to fit more closely to the first and second contacts, respectively, so as to achieve effective contact between the first resistor and the first contact, and between the second resistor and the second contact, thus ensuring stable control of the lifting and lowering of the first and second glass.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first resistor and the second resistor are formed by stamping.

[0021] Understandably, stamping is a relatively efficient processing method with a high yield rate. This not only improves the production efficiency of the first and second resistors but also enables the precise setting of their arc shape, thereby improving production quality.

[0022] In one embodiment, the number of buttons is set to two, and the two buttons are assigned as a first button and a second button. The number of circuit boards corresponds one-to-one with the number of buttons and is matched. The two circuit boards are configured as a first circuit board and a second circuit board.

[0023] The first button works with the first circuit board to generate a first door unlock signal, and the second button works with the second circuit board to generate a second door unlock signal.

[0024] Understandably, setting up two buttons and matching them with a corresponding number of circuit boards enables the first and second doors to be unlocked separately, further enhancing the integration of the vehicle's integrated door control switch.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first button and the second button are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the knob ring.

[0026] Understandably, the symmetrical arrangement of the axis makes the layout of the first and second buttons more orderly and convenient, making it easier to unlock the first and second doors, thereby improving the user experience of the door control switch.

[0027] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0028] A vehicle including the vehicle-integrated door control switch described in the above embodiments.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, this application integrates the control switches for window raising and lowering and door unlocking into a single door control switch by setting up a button mechanism and a knob mechanism. This not only saves space inside the vehicle but also makes operation more convenient. At the same time, by using the sliding rheostat formed by the contacts on the inner side of the knob ring and the resistor to sequentially increase or decrease the resistance, corresponding glass raising or lowering signals are generated. In this way, precise control of window raising and lowering can be achieved by simply rotating the knob ring. The operation is simple and intuitive, and the structure is simple, which further enhances the overall user experience of the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a vehicle integrated door control switch 100, which can be installed on the vehicle door and is mainly used to control the unlocking of the vehicle door and the raising and lowering of the vehicle window.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle integrated door control switch 100 includes a mounting base 10, a button mechanism 20, and a knob mechanism 30. The mounting base 10 is used to install on the vehicle door. The button mechanism 20 includes a circuit board 21 and a button 22. The circuit board 21 is mounted on the mounting base 10, and the button 22 is movably mounted on the mounting base 10 and can respond to external force to move relative to the mounting base 10, triggering the circuit board 21 and generating a door unlocking signal. The knob mechanism 30 includes a knob ring 31 and a resistor 32. The knob ring 31 is sleeved around the button 22 and rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 so that the knob ring 31 can rotate relative to the button 22. The resistor 32 is disposed between the knob ring 31 and the button. The key 22 is mounted on the mounting base 10; and the inner side of the knob ring 31 is provided with a contact 33, which can contact the resistor 32 and slide relative to the resistor 32 as the knob ring 31 rotates, so that the first contact 33 and the resistor 32 form a sliding rheostat; wherein, the knob ring 31 can rotate relative to the key 22 in a first direction or a second direction. When the knob ring 31 rotates in the first direction, the resistance 32 part of the sliding rheostat connected to the circuit increases sequentially and generates a glass rising signal. When the knob ring 31 rotates in the second direction, the resistance 32 part of the sliding rheostat connected to the circuit decreases sequentially and generates a glass falling signal.

[0045] Understandably, current common vehicle door control switches typically have one switch for each component. For example, the driver's side window, door, and other windows and doors each have their own control switch. Having multiple switches leads to inconvenience and complex structure. Therefore, this application incorporates a button mechanism 20 and a knob mechanism 30, integrating the window raising / lowering and door unlocking control switches into a single door control switch. This allows the door control switch to be placed on the rear door of the vehicle according to user needs, simultaneously controlling both window raising / lowering and door unlocking with a single switch, thus saving interior space and improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the window raising / lowering is achieved by sequentially increasing or decreasing the resistance 32 of a sliding rheostat formed by the contact 33 and resistor 32 on the inner side of the knob ring 31, generating corresponding glass raising or lowering signals. This allows users to precisely control the window raising or lowering simultaneously with a simple rotation of the knob ring 31, resulting in simple, intuitive operation and a simplified structure that enhances the overall user experience.

[0046] Here, the vehicle integrated door control switch 100 can be installed on each door of the vehicle. It can be installed on the rear door of the vehicle to control the raising and lowering of the rear windows and the unlocking of the doors, or it can be installed on the front door of the vehicle. The specific installation location can be determined according to actual needs.

[0047] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The system includes two buttons 22, designated as a first button 221 and a second button 222. The number of circuit boards 21 corresponds to and is matched with the number of buttons 22, and the two circuit boards are configured as a first circuit board 211 and a second circuit board 212. The first button 221 works with the first circuit board 211 to generate a first door unlock signal, and the second button 222 works with the second circuit board 212 to generate a second door unlock signal. This allows for separate control and unlocking of the first and second doors.

[0048] Specifically, the first door unlock signal can be transmitted to the vehicle's controller, enabling the controller to control the corresponding door action based on the first door unlock signal, thereby unlocking the door.

[0049] Here, the number of buttons 22 can be two or more, such as two, three, or four. The number of circuit boards 21 corresponds one-to-one with the number of buttons 22 and is matched accordingly. The specific number of buttons 22 and circuit boards 21 can be determined according to the actual situation. In this way, different buttons 22 can work with their respective matched circuit boards 21 to control the unlocking of different car doors, thereby realizing the integrated door control switch to meet market demand.

[0050] Furthermore, the first button 221 and the second button 222 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the knob ring 31, making the layout of the buttons 22 more regular and orderly, thus improving the user experience of the door control switch. Here, other numbers of buttons 22 can be provided, and each button 22 can be evenly distributed at circumferential intervals along the knob ring 31.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, resistor 32 includes a first resistor 321 and a second resistor 322, and contact 33 includes a first contact 331 and a second contact 332. The first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322 are spaced apart circumferentially on the knob ring 31. The first contact 331 cooperates with the first resistor 321 to generate a first glass raising or lowering signal, and the second contact 332 cooperates with the second resistor 322 to generate a second glass raising or lowering signal. In this way, the raising and lowering control of the two glass panes can be realized.

[0052] Specifically, the signal for raising or lowering the glass can be transmitted to the vehicle's controller, which can then control the corresponding glass movement based on the signal, thereby raising or lowering the glass.

[0053] Here, the first glass and the second glass can be any two pieces of glass on the vehicle. By using the combination of contacts and resistors, the first glass or the second glass can be raised or lowered respectively, thereby fulfilling the user's need to control multiple glass pieces with one door switch.

[0054] Preferably, both the first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322 are arranged in an arc shape. It is understood that the arc shape allows the first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322 to fit more closely to the first contact 331 and the second contact 332, respectively, thus achieving effective contact between the first resistor 321 and the first contact 331, and between the second resistor 322 and the second contact 332, ensuring stable control of the lifting and lowering of the first and second glass panes.

[0055] Furthermore, the first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322 can be formed by stamping. It is understood that stamping is a relatively efficient processing method with a high yield rate. This not only improves the production efficiency of the first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322, but also allows for high-precision execution of their arc-shaped settings, thereby improving production quality. Of course, this is not the only option; the first resistor 321 and the second resistor 322 can also be processed by casting or other methods.

[0056] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, a protrusion 3211 extending circumferentially along the knob ring 31 is provided on the first resistor 321. The protrusion 3211 protrudes from the surface of the first resistor 321, forming a first clearance groove 3212 on the surface of the first resistor 321. A second clearance groove 3221 extending circumferentially along the knob ring 31 is provided on the surface of the second resistor 322. The protrusion 3211 cooperates with the first contact 331. The first clearance groove 3212 is used to avoid the second contact 332, and the second clearance groove 3221 is used to avoid the first contact 331. The protruding direction of the protrusion 3211 and the recessing direction of the second clearance groove 3221 are both along the radial direction of the knob ring 31, and the protruding direction of the protrusion 3211 is opposite to the recessing direction of the second clearance groove 3221. Thus, the first clearance groove 3212 allows the first resistor 321 and the first contact 331 to contact each other to achieve the first window lifting function without interfering with the second window. Similarly, the second clearance groove 3221 ensures that the first window is not interfered with when the second resistor 322 and the second contact 332 contact each other to achieve the second window lifting function. In other words, only one knob mechanism is needed to control the lifting of the two windows separately without interfering with each other.

[0057] Specifically, when the first resistor 321 contacts the first contact 331 to control the raising and lowering of the first glass pane, the second contact 332 is located within the first clearance groove 3212 and is thus prevented from contacting the first resistor 321. In this case, no interference signal from the second glass pane is generated. Conversely, when the second resistor 322 contacts the second contact 332 and controls the raising and lowering of the second glass pane, the first contact 331 is located within the second clearance groove 3221, preventing the first contact 331 from contacting the second resistor 322 and generating an interference signal for the first glass pane. In this way, mutual interference between the first and second glass panes during their respective raising and lowering functions can be avoided, enabling the knob mechanism to control the first and second glass panes separately.

[0058] Furthermore, the second contact 332 includes a connecting plate 3321 and a protrusion 3322. The connecting plate 3321 is connected to the knob ring 31. The protrusion 3322 is mounted on the connecting plate 3321 and forms a third clearance groove 3323 between it and the connecting plate 3321. The third clearance groove 3323 is used to avoid the protrusion 3322.

[0059] Here, the number of protrusions 3322 is set to two, and the two protrusions 3322 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the knob ring 31 and form a third clearance groove 3323.

[0060] This application also provides a vehicle including the vehicle integrated door control switch 100 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
