Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle switch technology, specifically relating to a combination switch and vehicle handlebar switch. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle handlebar switches are an indispensable component of motorcycle control systems. Their main function is to allow riders to conveniently control various devices and functions during riding, such as lights, horns, and turn signals. These switches are generally installed on the handlebars to ensure that riders can operate them quickly while riding, thereby enhancing riding safety and comfort. In some existing handlebar switch designs, a function switch (such as a microswitch) is usually installed inside the housing, while a button for triggering the function switch is located outside the housing. After the button is pressed, its return action depends on the return spring force released by the function switch. However, in practical applications, the following problems are often encountered: On the one hand, if the installation position of the function switch is off, or if the return spring force of the function switch is too small, the button may not be able to return to its original position quickly and promptly; on the other hand, although some switches are designed with a return spring for the button, unreasonable structural design of the return spring and the button results in a complex installation structure, and there is also the problem that the spring force cannot be effectively transmitted to the button, leading to an unsatisfactory return effect. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] The switch structure of this utility model embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-7As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a micro switch 2 fixed inside the housing 1, and a button assembly 3 for triggering the micro switch 2. The micro switch 2 can be a self-locking switch or a self-resetting switch. The housing 1 has a mounting hole 11 for mounting the button assembly 3. The button assembly 3 includes a button 31, a contact block 32, and a return spring 33. The lower end of the button 31 passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the contact block 32. The upper end of the button 31 protrudes from the housing 1. A transversely penetrating limiting sliding hole 34 is formed between the button 31 and the contact block 32. A limiting stop 12 that cooperates with the limiting sliding hole 34 is provided in the mounting hole 11. The return spring 33 is installed between the button 31 and the limiting stop 12 to provide an upward reset force for the button assembly 3. The micro switch 2 is correspondingly located below the contact block 32. When in use, the button 31 moves inward when pressed by an external force, which in turn moves the contact block 32. The button 31 is activated by the downward movement of the contact block 32, which triggers the micro switch 2 and switches its state. During this process, the return spring 33 is compressed. After the external force applied to the button 31 is removed, the button 31 can quickly move upward and reset under the elastic force released by the return spring 33. In this embodiment, the return spring 33 is installed between the button 31 and the limit block 12 in the mounting hole 11. The return spring 33 directly provides a continuous and effective reset force to the button 31, ensuring that the button 31 can return quickly and reliably after the external force applied to the button 31 is removed. This structural design not only improves the assembly efficiency of the button assembly 3, but also optimizes the overall operating experience. In addition, since the upper end of the button 31 protrudes from the housing 1, it is convenient for the user to press. In actual use, even when the button 31 is subjected to non-positive pressure, it can still maintain high responsiveness and sensitivity, thereby improving the user's operating convenience and the practicality of the product. In practical applications, the cooperation between the limit sliding hole 34 and the limit block 12 can also play a certain guiding and limiting role for the up and down movement of the button 31.

[0026] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the button 31 is a hollow structure with an open lower end. The return spring 33 is installed inside the button 31. The return spring 33 is restricted by the hollow inner wall of the button 31 and will not bend. The side wall of the button 31 has a slot with an open lower end, which serves as the limiting sliding hole 34. The limiting block 12 extends into the lower port of the slot. The contact block 32 is engaged with the lower end of the button 31 and has a baffle 35 extending into the lower port of the slot. The baffle 35 closes the lower port of the opening to ensure... The integrity of the shape of the limiting sliding hole 34; when installing the button assembly 3, first install the return spring 33 into the button 31, and then install the button 31 from the outside into the mounting hole 11. During the installation of the button 31, the limiting block 12 extends into the slot (i.e., the limiting sliding hole 34), so that the return spring 33 is compressed between the button 31 and the limiting block 12. The contact block 32 is placed at the inner end of the mounting hole 11 and engages with the inner end of the button 31. This structure makes the installation of the button assembly 3 very convenient and has good structural stability.

[0027] In another embodiment, the pressure block 32 can also be fixedly connected to the lower end of the button 31 by screws.

[0028] To enhance the positioning of the reset spring 33, an upwardly protruding positioning post 13 is provided on the limiting block 12. The lower end of the reset spring 33 is sleeved with the positioning post 13. This ensures the reliability of the reset spring 33 installation, prevents the reset spring 33 from shifting, and guarantees the effectiveness of the reset spring 33's elastic force on the button 31.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the assembly of button 31 and touch block 32, a buckle 36 extending into button 31 is provided on touch block 32, and a locking hole 37 is provided on the lower side wall of button 31. The button 31 is reliably and quickly fixedly connected to touch block 32 by engaging buckle 36 with locking hole 37. Under the elastic force of return spring 33, the upper end of buckle 36 abuts against limit block 12. Thus, by cooperating with limit block 12, buckle 36 can also stop and limit the button assembly 3.

[0030] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to improve the convenience of assembly, a cover 10 is snapped onto the housing 1. The mounting hole 11 is provided on the cover 10. In this way, during assembly and production, the button assembly 3 can be installed on the cover 10 first, and then the cover 10 can be installed on the housing 1. Since the cover 10 is small in size, it is more convenient to assemble it with the button assembly 3.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, an inner bracket 4 is fixed inside the housing 1. The inner bracket 4 is provided with a positioning groove 41. The micro switch 2 is embedded in the positioning groove 41. The inner bracket 4 is provided with a locking block 42 for locking and limiting the micro switch 2. When installing the micro switch 2, it is inserted into the positioning groove 41 and locked onto the micro switch 2 by the locking block 42, which can ensure that the micro switch 2 is securely fixed on the inner bracket 4. The assembly operation is convenient and helps to improve production efficiency.

[0032] This utility model also provides a handlebar switch that uses the above-mentioned switch structure. This handlebar combination switch has all the advantages of the above-mentioned switches, which will not be elaborated here.

[0033] 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.
