Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle parts technology, and in particular to a motorcycle handlebar switch designed to prevent accidental activation. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle handlebar switches are mounted on the handlebars on one side and integrate switches for controlling the headlights, turn signals, horn, etc. For ease of operation, the switches for turn signals and horn are usually located on the same side of the handlebar switch, with the horn switch button located below the turn signal toggle. Due to limited space on the handlebar switch, the distance between the turn signal toggle and the horn button is small. When the rider operates the turn signal toggle, especially while wearing gloves, it is easy to accidentally touch the free end of the horn switch button, causing the horn to be triggered unnecessarily. This can be inconvenient for the rider when driving in no-honking zones. To address the issue of accidental horn activation, existing technologies, such as the utility model patent (CN219017492U), disclose a handle switch that prevents accidental activation by using a torsion spring to keep the handle moving away from the switch button. This creates a gap between the trigger and the control button under normal conditions. However, in this case, the horn switch will still be triggered if an accidental activation occurs and the swing amplitude of the handle exceeds the gap between the trigger and the control button, thus failing to completely prevent accidental activation.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a motorcycle handlebar switch to prevent accidental activation, which solves the above-mentioned problems existing in the use of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] An anti-accidental touch motorcycle handlebar switch includes a housing, on which a turn signal knob and a horn button are provided. An anti-accidental touch plate is connected to the housing and is erected between the turn signal knob and the horn button. The outer end of the anti-accidental touch plate is bent downward to form a first blocking part located outside the surface of the horn button. The side end of the anti-accidental touch plate is bent downward to form a second blocking part located outside the free end of the horn button.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the anti-accidental touch plate has a T-shaped plug-in portion, and the housing has a plug-in groove that matches the plug-in portion and extends through the housing to one side. The plug-in portion is inserted into the plug-in groove through the groove opening to connect the anti-accidental touch plate to the housing.

[0008] Preferably, the plug portion has a plurality of limiting protrusions, and the inner wall of the plug groove has a plurality of limiting grooves that match the limiting protrusions. When the plug portion is inserted into the plug groove, the limiting protrusions are engaged in the limiting grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-accidental touch panel is composed of a first plate portion and a second plate portion connected together. The first plate portion is parallel to the horizontal plane, the plug portion is formed on the inner end of the first plate portion, the second plate portion is formed on the outer end of the first plate portion at an angle downward relative to the horizontal plane, and the first shielding portion is formed on the outer end of the second plate portion.

[0010] Preferably, the first blocking portion is tilted inward and inclined relative to the surface of the horn button.

[0011] Preferably, the second shielding portion is tilted outward and inclined relative to the first plate portion.

[0012] Preferably, the housing is composed of a front housing and a rear housing joined together. A positioning protrusion is formed on the end face of the rear housing facing the front housing. Several snap-fit ​​plates are formed on the positioning protrusion, and snap-fit ​​blocks are formed at the ends of the snap-fit ​​plates. A positioning step matching the positioning protrusion is formed on the end face of the front housing facing the rear housing. Several snap-fit ​​grooves matching the snap-fit ​​plates are formed on the positioning step. Snap-fit ​​holes matching the snap-fit ​​blocks are formed on the bottom of the snap-fit ​​grooves. When the rear housing and the front housing are joined together, the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning step, the snap-fit ​​plates are inserted into the snap-fit ​​grooves, and the snap-fit ​​blocks are engaged in the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the upper part of the horn button is located inside the first and second anti-accidental touch parts. When the driver moves the turn signal switch, the second anti-accidental touch part isolates the finger so that the finger will not come into contact with the free end of the switch button, and the first anti-accidental touch part isolates the finger so that the finger will not come into contact with the surface of the horn button. This achieves a more thorough anti-accidental touch function for the horn button when the turn signal switch is moved, making it easier for the driver to use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. 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] As shown in the figure, a motorcycle handlebar switch designed to prevent accidental activation includes a housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a turn signal knob 12 and a horn button 3. An anti-accidental activation plate 4 is connected to the housing 1 and is erected between the turn signal knob 12 and the horn button 3. The outer end of the anti-accidental activation plate 4 is bent downward to form a first blocking part 43 located outside the surface of the horn button 3. The side end of the anti-accidental activation plate 4 is bent downward to form a second blocking part 44 located outside the free end of the horn button 3.

[0024] Specifically, the structure of the anti-accidental touch plate 4 connected to the housing is as follows: the end of the anti-accidental touch plate 4 has a T-shaped plug-in portion 45, and the housing 1 has a plug-in groove 13 that matches the plug-in portion 45 and extends through the housing 1 to one side. The plug-in portion 45 is inserted into the plug-in groove 13 through the groove opening of the plug-in groove 13 to realize the connection between the anti-accidental touch plate 4 and the housing 1.

[0025] In the above structure, the anti-accidental touch plate 4 is disposed between the turn signal toggle 12 and the horn button 3. The first anti-accidental touch part is located on the outer side of the surface of the horn button 3, blocking the upper part of the surface of the horn button 3. The second anti-accidental touch part is located on the outer side of the free end of the horn button 3, blocking the upper part of the free end of the horn button 3. This makes the upper part of the horn button 3 located inside the first and second anti-accidental touch parts. When the driver toggles the turn signal toggle 12, the second anti-accidental touch part isolates the finger, preventing the finger from contacting the free end of the toggle button, and the first anti-accidental touch part isolates the finger, preventing the finger from contacting the free end of the toggle button. The surface of the horn button 3 makes contact, achieving a more thorough anti-accidental touch function for the horn button 3 when the turn signal lever 12 is turned. When the horn needs to be activated by pressing the horn button 3, the lower part of the horn button 3 that is not covered by the anti-accidental touch plate 4 can be pressed with a finger without affecting the normal use of the horn button 3. The anti-accidental touch plate 4 is connected to the housing through the cooperation of the plug part 45 and the plug groove 13, which facilitates the installation and removal of the anti-accidental touch plate 4. The driver can easily install or remove the anti-accidental touch plate 4 as needed, which is convenient for the driver's use.

[0026] Additionally, the plug-in portion 45 has several limiting protrusions 46, and the inner wall of the plug-in groove 13 has several limiting grooves 14 that match the limiting protrusions 46. When the plug-in portion 45 is inserted into the plug-in groove 13, the limiting protrusions 46 are engaged in the limiting grooves 14. The cooperation between the limiting protrusions 46 and the limiting grooves 14 limits the sliding of the plug-in portion 45 in the plug-in groove 13, thereby strengthening the stability of the anti-accidental touch plate 4 after it is connected to the housing, so that the anti-accidental touch plate 4 can stably realize the anti-accidental touch function.

[0027] Additionally, the anti-accidental touch panel 4 is composed of a first plate portion 41 and a second plate portion 42 connected together. The first plate portion 41 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the insertion portion 45 is formed on the inner end of the first plate portion 41. The second plate portion 42 is formed at an angle downward relative to the horizontal plane on the outer end of the first plate portion 41, and the first blocking portion 43 is formed on the outer end of the second plate portion 42. The first plate portion 41 is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane such that the length direction of the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 is along the driver's dial. When the driver moves the turn signal lever 12, the finger moves along the length of the first plate 41 and the second plate 42, which acts as a guide for the movement of the finger. The downward tilt of the second plate increases the distance between the second plate and the turn signal lever 12, providing more operating space when the turn signal lever 12 is moved, thus making it easier for the driver to operate the turn signal lever 12 blindly and making it easier for the driver to use.

[0028] Furthermore, the first shielding part 43 is inclined inward and is set at an angle relative to the surface of the horn button 3, so that the first shielding part 43 has a certain slope relative to the horn button 3. When the driver presses the horn button 3, when the finger moves to the outside of the surface of the horn button 3, it contacts the first shielding part 43. The finger naturally slides along the inclined first shielding part 43 to the surface of the horn button 3 and contacts the pull button to press the horn button 3, thereby making it convenient for the driver to press the horn button 3 blindly and making it convenient for the driver to use.

[0029] Furthermore, the second shielding part 44 is tilted outward and inclined relative to the first plate part 41, so that the second shielding part 44 has a certain slope relative to the first plate. When the driver moves the turn signal knob 12, when the finger moves to the side of the turn signal knob 12, it contacts the second shielding part 44. The finger slides naturally along the second shielding part 44 to the first plate part 41 and moves the turn signal knob 12 along the first plate part 41, thus making it convenient for the driver to operate the turn signal knob 12 blindly and making it easy for the driver to use.

[0030] Additionally, the housing 1 is constructed by splicing a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12. A positioning protrusion 121 is formed on the end face of the rear housing 12 facing the front housing 11. Several snap-fit ​​plates 122 are formed on the positioning protrusion 121, and snap-fit ​​blocks 123 are formed at the ends of the snap-fit ​​plates 122. A positioning step 111 matching the positioning protrusion 121 is provided on the end face of the front housing 11 facing the rear housing 12. Several snap-fit ​​grooves 112 matching the snap-fit ​​plates 122 are provided on the positioning step 111, and snap-fit ​​holes 113 matching the snap-fit ​​blocks 123 are provided at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​grooves 112. When the rear housing 12 is assembled with the front housing 11, the positioning protrusion 121 is inserted into the positioning step 111, the snap-fit ​​plate 122 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 112, and the snap-fit ​​block 123 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole 113. The positioning protrusion 121 and the positioning step 111 cooperate to make the front housing 11 and the rear housing 12 accurately assembled. The snap-fit ​​block 123 and the snap-fit ​​hole 113 cooperate to realize the fixed connection between the front housing 11 and the rear housing 12. Through the above connection method, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the front housing 11 and the rear housing 12. While facilitating the assembly of the switch components inside the housing 1, it is also convenient to operate when the handle switch is installed on the handlebar.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
