Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive button technology, and in particular to an in-vehicle button control device for new energy vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, car interior design is increasingly focusing on simplicity and a sense of technology, thus omitting a large number of physical buttons and integrating more functions into the central control screen. At the same time, voice control may fail to recognize certain functions, requiring drivers to spend more time operating certain functions while driving, which may affect driving safety.
[0003] Installing buttons on new energy vehicles has the following disadvantages: First, mounting holes need to be pre-drilled in the vehicle structure, resulting in low installation efficiency and potential damage to the panel's appearance. Second, using plastic clips to attach the button module to the mounting bracket is low-cost but lacks reliability; long-term use may cause the clips to loosen or break due to vibration, and the installation space varies greatly between different vehicle models. Third, traditional fixing methods lack universality, requiring custom mold design for each vehicle model, increasing research and manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content
