Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to switches, specifically to a small passenger vehicle air conditioning panel assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The air conditioning panel assembly is a structure installed inside a passenger vehicle for controlling and adjusting the operation of the air conditioning system. It typically includes functions such as temperature adjustment, fan speed adjustment, switching between internal and external air circulation, and start / stop control to meet the normal usage needs of the vehicle's air conditioning. Currently, air conditioning panel assemblies on the market generally have four adjustment buttons to control these functions. This four-button structure results in a relatively large overall size for the air conditioning panel assembly, requiring significant space inside the vehicle for installation. Since modern vehicles generally feature large control screens that occupy installation space, this type of air conditioning panel assembly is no longer suitable for vehicles with large screens or those with limited interior space. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small passenger vehicle air conditioning panel assembly for solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model is implemented using the following solution:
[0005] A small passenger vehicle air conditioning panel assembly includes a housing with a swingable adjustment button. Below the adjustment button, a pressure component and a sensing chip are sequentially arranged. The housing features a movable switching slider on one side of the adjustment button. A guide portion extends from the bottom of the switching slider, and a cavity is provided within the guide portion. A pressure sensing block is vertically mounted within the cavity. An elastic element is pressed between the pressure sensing block and the switching slider. The sensing chip has start / stop sensing, temperature adjustment sensing, airflow adjustment sensing, and internal / external circulation sensing components that can contact the pressure sensing block along the movement path of the switching slider.
[0006] The compression assembly includes a first compression block and a second compression block disposed at both ends of the bottom of the adjustment button. The first and second compression blocks are slidably disposed in the guide groove of the outer casing. The sensing chip is provided with a first compression sensing part corresponding to the first compression block and a second compression sensing part corresponding to the second compression block. An elastic reset sleeve is disposed between the compression block and the sensing chip. The elastic reset sleeve is provided with a first elastic protrusion corresponding to the first compression block and a second elastic protrusion corresponding to the second compression block. The first elastic protrusion can compress the first compression sensing part, and the second elastic protrusion can compress the second compression sensing part.
[0007] The elastic element is a spring.
[0008] The bottom of the compression sensing block has two downward-extending card strips with a semi-circular cross-section. The sensing chip has slots for the card strips to be inserted at positions corresponding to the temperature regulation sensing unit, air volume regulation sensing unit, internal and external circulation sensing unit, and automatic control sensing unit.
[0009] A terminal block is integrally provided at the bottom of the outer casing, and the terminal block has a horizontally oriented wiring port.
[0010] The aforementioned technical solution provides a small passenger vehicle air conditioning panel assembly that, through an innovative design of a switching slider mechanism, enables switching between on / off temperature adjustment, airflow adjustment, internal / external circulation, and start / stop control. Furthermore, by controlling the operation of adjustment buttons, these different functions can be adjusted. Only one adjustment button is needed to achieve the adjustment of all four functions, replacing the traditional structure with four sets of adjustment buttons. This effectively reduces the size of the air conditioning panel assembly, significantly decreasing the required installation space and meeting the modern vehicle's demand for miniaturized and lightweight switches.

[0017] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a small passenger vehicle air conditioning panel assembly, including a housing 6. A swingable adjustment button 7 is provided on the housing 6. Below the adjustment button 7, a pressing component and a sensing chip 13 are sequentially arranged. A switching slider 1 is movably arranged on one side of the adjustment button 7 on the housing 6. A guide portion 18 is provided extending from the bottom of the switching slider 1. A cavity is provided inside the guide portion 18, and a pressing sensing block 20 is vertically mounted within the cavity. An elastic element, in this embodiment, is pressed tightly between the pressing sensing block 20 and the switching slider 1. The elastic element is a spring 19. The sensing chip 13 is provided with a start / stop sensing part 21, a temperature adjustment sensing part 22, a fan speed adjustment sensing part 23, and an internal / external circulation sensing part 24 that can contact the pressing sensing block 20 along the movement path of the switching slider 1. Simultaneously, the housing 6 is provided with corresponding start / stop position indicators 2, temperature adjustment position indicators 3, fan speed adjustment position indicators 4, and internal / external circulation switching indicators 5, allowing the user to easily identify which adjustment position has been switched to.
[0018] Furthermore, the compression assembly includes a first compression block 8 and a second compression block 9 disposed at both ends of the bottom of the adjustment button 7. The first and second compression blocks are slidably disposed in the guide groove of the outer casing 6. The sensing chip 13 is provided with a first compression sensing part 12 corresponding to the first compression block 8 and a second compression sensing part 16 corresponding to the second compression block 9. An elastic reset sleeve 10 is disposed between the compression blocks and the sensing chip 13. The elastic reset sleeve 10 is provided with a first elastic protrusion 11 corresponding to the first compression block 8 and a second elastic protrusion 17 corresponding to the second compression block 9. The first elastic protrusion 11 can compress the first compression sensing part 12, and the second elastic protrusion 17 can compress the second compression sensing part 16. By adopting the above structure, the adjustment button 7 can effectively compress the sensing part on the sensing chip 13 through the compression block and elastic protrusion structure, thereby realizing the adjustment control operation, and at the same time, the adjustment button 7 can also elastically reset after adjustment.
[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressure sensor block 20 has downward-extending slots 25 with semi-circular cross-sections on both sides. The sensor chip has slots corresponding to the start / stop sensor 21, temperature adjustment sensor 22, airflow adjustment sensor 23, and internal / external circulation sensor 24 for the slots 25 to engage. By adopting this structure, the pressure sensor block 20 can be positioned to different gear levels, and a force can be fed back to the user, allowing the user to know that the pressure sensor block 20 has moved to the desired gear level, effectively improving the user experience. When switching gears, simply push the switching slider 1 to move the slots, causing the slots 25 to disengage from their slots.
[0020] Furthermore, a terminal block 14 is integrally provided on the bottom of the housing 6. The terminal block 14 has a horizontally opened terminal port 15, which replaces the traditional structure where the terminal port 15 is opened vertically downwards. This makes the overall height of the panel assembly smaller and reduces the installation space required.
[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the switching slider 1 is moved to the desired switching position by controlling it. For example, the switching slider 1 is pushed to the start / stop position mark 2. At this time, the pressure sensing block 20 contacts the start / stop sensing part 21. Then, the adjustment button 7 is controlled to swing. When the second pressure block 9 is controlled to descend, it presses the second elastic protrusion 17 and the second pressure sensing part 16 to turn on the air conditioner. When the first pressure block 8 is controlled to descend, it presses the first elastic protrusion 11 and the first pressure sensing part 12 to turn off the air conditioner. When the switching slider is pushed to the temperature adjustment position mark 3, the pressure sensing block 20 contacts the temperature adjustment sensing part 22. Then, the adjustment button 7 is controlled to swing, which can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner. When the switching slider 1 is pushed to the air volume adjustment position mark 4, the pressure sensing block 20 contacts the air volume adjustment sensing part 23. Then, the adjustment button 7 is controlled to swing, which can adjust the air volume. When the switching slider 1 is pushed to the internal / external circulation switching mark 5, the adjustment button 7 is controlled to swing, which can switch between the internal and external circulation of the air conditioner.
[0022] This utility model's structure, through an innovative design of a switching slider mechanism, enables switching between on / off temperature regulation, airflow regulation, internal / external circulation, and start / stop control. Then, by controlling the action of the adjustment button, the different functions can be adjusted. Only one adjustment button is needed to achieve the adjustment of all four functions, replacing the traditional structure with four sets of adjustment buttons. This effectively reduces the size of the air conditioning panel assembly, significantly decreasing the required installation space and meeting the modern vehicle's demand for miniaturized and lightweight switches.
