[0002] Rotary push-button switches are an indispensable component of motorcycle control systems. Their main function is to allow riders to conveniently control various devices and functions while riding, such as lights, horn, and steering. These switches are typically mounted on the handlebars to ensure quick operation while riding, enhancing safety and comfort. With technological advancements and evolving user needs, the functions of motorcycle rotary push-button switches have been optimized and improved, and their structures have become increasingly diverse. Currently, the market offers various types of rotary push-button switches with diverse designs; however, this diversity also presents some design challenges. For example, in some rotary push-button switches, the function switch is difficult to align directly with the button due to installation position interference. This results in the button not being able to effectively apply positive pressure to the function switch during operation, causing the function switch to fail to trigger effectively in practical use. This not only affects the normal operation of the function but also easily leads to a shortened lifespan of the switch, or even damage after frequent use. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response, this utility model provides a rotary push-button switch that can effectively trigger and control the function switch.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the rotary push-button switch of this utility model embodiment can be used on vehicles such as motorcycles / electric vehicles. It includes a housing 1 with a mounting part 11, a function switch 2 fixed in the housing 1, and a trigger 3 movably mounted on the mounting part 11. When an external force is applied to the trigger 3 to make it move, the function switch 2 is triggered, thereby controlling the state switching of the function switch 2. The function switch can be a micro switch or a tactile switch. The mounting part 11 has an arc-shaped structure. The trigger 3 includes a touch slider 31 that is limited and mounted inside the mounting part 11 and moves in an arc shape, and a button 32 that is fixedly connected to the touch slider 31. The mounting part 11 has a button through hole 110 for the button 32 to pass through. The button 321 protrudes from the mounting part 11 and has a pressing part 321 on the sliding block 31 that is opposite to the function switch 2. Applying external force to the pressing part 321 causes the button 32 to drive the sliding block 31 to rotate in an arc shape and trigger the function switch 2 in the forward direction through the pressing part 311, thereby effectively controlling the function switch 2 by touch. This structure allows for relatively flexible setting of the installation position of the function switch 2 in application. By applying external force to the pressing part 321, the button 32 can swing, and the sliding block 31 can move along an arc trajectory to achieve trigger control of the function switch 2, solving the problem that the function switch 2 and the button 32 are difficult to be effectively triggered when they are not in the forward direction.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the arc-shaped structure has an inner arc surface 111, and the touch slider 31 has an arc-shaped mating side 312 opposite to the inner arc surface 111. An arc-shaped sliding guide structure is provided between the inner arc surface 111 and the arc-shaped mating side 312. The arc-shaped sliding guide structure is used to guide the touch slider 31 to make arc-shaped movements inside the mounting part 11. This guiding effect helps to ensure that the touch slider 31 will not deviate during operation, thereby improving the triggering accuracy of the switch. Moreover, the touch slider 31 moves smoothly and flexibly, improving the user's feel when operating the switch and making the operation smoother.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the arc-shaped sliding guide structure includes an arc-shaped guide rail 112 disposed on the inner arc surface 111 and an arc-shaped guide rail groove 313 disposed on the arc-shaped mating side 312. The arc-shaped guide rail groove 313 and the arc-shaped guide rail 112 cooperate to guide the touch slider 31 to make arc-shaped movements inside the mounting part 11. This mating method is simple and feasible. Through the limiting cooperation between the arc-shaped guide rail 112 and the arc-shaped guide rail groove 313, the touch slider 31 can be effectively guided to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory, so that the touch slider 31 can maintain high stability during the movement. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped guide rail 112 is set as two spaced lines. In actual operation, the number of arc-shaped guide rails 112 is not limited to two.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the pressing part 321 has a limiting side 322 that is arranged opposite to the outer arc surface 113 on the arc structure. The limiting side 322 is provided with abutting protrusion 323 that abuts against the outer arc surface 113. The abutting protrusion 323 abuts against the outer arc surface 113 to provide stable support for the pressing part 321. This support not only enhances the stability of the pressing part 321, but also prevents displacement or tilting caused by accidental external force. Moreover, it can reduce the friction between the pressing part 321 and the mounting part 11, thereby making the button 32 move more smoothly and flexibly.

[0028] See Figure 4As shown, for ease of assembly, the touch slider 31 and button 32 preferably adopt a separate assembly structure. During assembly, the touch slider 31 can be installed first on the inner side of the mounting part 11, and the button 32 can be installed from the outer side of the mounting part 11. To enhance connection stability, a positioning slot can be provided on the touch slider 31, into which the inner end of the button 32 can be inserted for accurate positioning. Besides the plug-in connection, the inner end of the button 32 and the touch slider 31 can also be further fixedly connected by screws or clips to ensure a reliable connection. As a variation, in actual operation, the positioning slot can be omitted, and the inner end of the button 32 and the touch slider 31 can be directly fixedly connected by screws or clips.

[0029] The touch-pressing part 311 is provided with a touch-pressing surface 314 facing the function switch 2. When the touch-pressing slider 31 is controlled to move, pressure is applied to the function switch 2 through the touch-pressing surface 314, thereby ensuring that the function switch 2 can be effectively triggered.

[0030] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
