Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an automotive combination switch. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive combination switches are core components that integrate and control vehicle electrical functions such as lights, steering, and wipers. They typically consist of an operating knob, a decorative panel, and electrical connection components. Function switching is achieved through knob or lever operation, and signal transmission relies on internal contacts and electrical pins, playing a crucial role in enhancing driving convenience.

[0003] However, existing combination switches still have the following technical defects: installation stability is easily affected by vibration, and traditional fixing methods are prone to loosening, leading to poor contact; operation feedback lacks clear indication, which easily increases the risk of misoperation; electrical connection reliability is insufficient, and failure is easy under complex working conditions.

[0004] To address this problem, a combination switch for automobiles is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive combination switch that has the advantages of improved installation stability, enhanced operational feedback clarity, and improved electrical connection reliability. It solves the problems of poor contact due to loose installation, unclear operational feedback leading to easy misoperation, and poor environmental adaptability of electrical connection components in traditional combination switches.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automotive combination switch, comprising a switch body housing, an operating knob, a decorative panel, and an electrical connection assembly, wherein the operating knob is movably mounted on the top of the switch body housing, the decorative panel is disposed at the connection between the switch body housing and the operating knob, and the electrical connection assembly is integrated into the side of the switch body housing;

[0007] The switch body housing is provided with a mounting slot and a fixing spring, the operating knob is provided with a knob positioning point, the decorative panel is provided with a right mirror indicator point, a panel positioning point and a left mirror indicator point, and the electrical connection component is provided with electrical connection pins;

[0008] The mounting slot and the fixing spring are used to fix the switch body housing in the installation position of the vehicle;

[0009] The fixing spring is used to complete the switch installation by cooperating with the bidirectional limiting mechanism of the mounting slot.

[0010] Preferably, the knob positioning point is used to indicate the initial position of the operating knob.

[0011] In the design, the introduction of knob positioning points provides a clear indication of the initial position of the operating knob. Drivers can quickly identify the knob's reset state through visual or tactile means, reducing the probability of misoperation.

[0012] Preferably, the panel positioning point is used to indicate the relative installation position of the decorative panel and the switch body housing.

[0013] In the design, the setting of panel positioning points enables precise alignment and installation of the decorative panel and the switch body shell, improving assembly efficiency while ensuring accurate correspondence between the panel function markings and the internal mechanical structure.

[0014] Preferably, the right mirror indicator point and the left mirror indicator point are used to indicate the adjustment direction of the operation knob.

[0015] In the design, the symmetrical layout of the right and left mirror indicator points provides intuitive guidance for adjusting the direction of the control knob, eliminating the need for drivers to memorize complex operating logic and significantly improving the convenience of function adjustment.

[0016] Preferably, the electrical connection pin is used to form an electrical connection with the vehicle's electrical system.

[0017] In the design, the standardized design of electrical connection pins enables quick plugging into the vehicle's electrical system, the modular structure facilitates maintenance and replacement, and ensures the stability of electrical signal transmission.

[0018] Preferably, the switch body housing has a contact assembly inside that is linked to the operation knob, and the contact assembly forms electrical contact with the electrical connection pin.

[0019] In the design, the linkage structure between the contact components and the electrical connection pins enables the real-time transmission of the operation knob function commands, improves the efficiency of mechanical-to-electrical signal conversion, and ensures the timeliness of control response.

[0020] Preferably, the surface of the operating knob is provided with a textured structure to increase friction.

[0021] In the design, the anti-slip texture on the surface of the control knob increases the coefficient of contact friction, enabling stable operation in wet and slippery environments and reducing the risk of misadjustment caused by hand slippage.

[0022] Preferably, the mounting slot is provided with an anti-detachment structure for engaging with the vehicle mounting bracket.

[0023] In the design, the anti-detachment structure of the mounting slot achieves reliable locking with the vehicle mounting bracket through physical limiting, effectively preventing the switch from loosening due to long-term vibration and improving system reliability.

[0024] Preferably, the elastic deformation of the fixing spring is positively correlated with its installation preload.

[0025] In the design, the positive correlation between the elastic deformation of the fixing spring and the preload force enables adaptive adjustment of the installation fastening force, which ensures installation stability and avoids excessive tightening that could damage the components.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] This invention achieves a stable fixation of the switch body housing in the vehicle mounting position by setting a bidirectional limiting cooperation between the mounting slot and the fixing spring. Compared with the traditional bolt fixing method, this structure automatically compensates for the installation gap through the elastic deformation of the spring, which avoids both excessive looseness leading to vibration and loosening, and excessive tightness damaging the components, significantly improving installation stability and solving the problem of poor contact caused by loose installation in traditional combination switches.

[0028] This invention provides clear indication of the initial position of the operating knob and the installation position of the decorative panel by setting knob positioning points and panel positioning points. Drivers can quickly identify the knob's reset state and the panel's functional layout through these positioning points. Combined with the directional guidance from the right and left mirror indicator points, this significantly reduces the probability of misoperation and solves the problem of ambiguous feedback and easy misoperation in traditional combination switch operations.

[0029] This invention optimizes the connection with vehicle electrical systems by setting standardized electrical connection pins. The pins feature an anti-dislodgement structure design, coupled with a linkage mechanism in the contact components, ensuring stable transmission of electrical signals under complex operating conditions. Compared to traditional wiring methods, this design reduces the risk of poor contact and short circuits, and solves the problem of poor environmental adaptability of electrical connection components.

[0038] The mounting slot 11 cooperates with the fixing spring 12 to fix the switch body housing 1 in the installation position of the vehicle;

[0039] The fixed spring 12 completes the switch installation by cooperating with the bidirectional limiting mechanism of the mounting slot 11.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up a bidirectional limiting cooperation between the mounting slot 11 and the fixing spring 12, the switch body housing 1 is stably fixed in the vehicle mounting position. Compared with the traditional bolt fixing method, this structure automatically compensates for the installation gap through the elastic deformation of the spring, which avoids both excessive looseness leading to vibration and loosening, and excessive tightness damaging the components, significantly improving installation stability and solving the problem of poor contact caused by loose installation in traditional combination switches.

[0041] By setting the knob positioning point 21 and the panel positioning point 32, clear indications are achieved of the initial position of the operating knob 2 and the installation position of the decorative panel 3. Drivers can quickly identify the knob's reset state and the panel's functional layout through the positioning points. Combined with the directional guidance of the right mirror indicator point 31 and the left mirror indicator point 33, the probability of misoperation is significantly reduced, solving the problem of ambiguous feedback and easy misoperation in traditional combination switch operation.

[0042] By setting standardized electrical connection pins 41, the connection with the vehicle's electrical system is optimized. The pins feature an anti-disconnection structure design, coupled with a linkage mechanism in the contact components, ensuring stable transmission of electrical signals under complex operating conditions. Compared to traditional wiring methods, this design reduces the risk of poor contact and short circuits, and solves the problem of poor environmental adaptability of the electrical connection component 4.

[0043] Example 2: To improve the clarity of operation feedback and installation accuracy, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the knob positioning point 21 is used to indicate the initial position of the operating knob 2.

[0044] Specifically, the introduction of knob positioning point 21 provides a clear indication of the initial position of the operating knob 2, allowing the driver to quickly identify the knob's reset state through sight or touch, thus reducing the probability of misoperation.

[0045] Furthermore, panel positioning point 32 is used to indicate the relative installation position of decorative panel 3 and switch body housing 1.

[0046] Specifically, the setting of panel positioning point 32 enables precise alignment and installation of decorative panel 3 and switch body shell 1, improving assembly efficiency while ensuring accurate correspondence between panel function markings and internal mechanical structure.

[0047] Furthermore, the right mirror indicator point 31 and the left mirror indicator point 33 are used to indicate the adjustment direction of the operation knob 2.

[0048] Specifically, the symmetrical layout of the right mirror indicator point 31 and the left mirror indicator point 33 provides intuitive guidance for adjusting the direction of the operation knob 2, eliminating the need for the driver to memorize complex operating logic and significantly improving the convenience of function adjustment.

[0049] Furthermore, the electrical connection pin 41 is used to form an electrical connection with the vehicle's electrical system.

[0050] Specifically, the standardized design of the electrical connection pin 41 enables quick connection to the vehicle's electrical system, and the modular structure facilitates maintenance and replacement while ensuring the stability of electrical signal transmission.

[0051] Example 3: To enhance electrical connection stability and operational safety, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the switch body housing 1 is provided with a contact assembly that is linked to the operation knob 2, and the contact assembly forms an electrical contact with the electrical connection pin 41.

[0052] Specifically, the linkage structure between the contact assembly and the electrical connection pin 41 enables the real-time transmission of the function commands of the operation knob 2, improves the efficiency of mechanical-electrical signal conversion, and ensures the timeliness of control response.

[0053] Furthermore, the surface of the operating knob 2 is provided with a textured structure to increase friction.

[0054] Specifically, the anti-slip texture on the surface of the operating knob 2 increases the coefficient of contact friction, enabling stable operation in wet and slippery environments and reducing the risk of misadjustment caused by hand slippage.

[0055] Furthermore, the mounting slot 11 is provided with an anti-detachment structure for engaging with the vehicle mounting bracket.

[0056] Specifically, the anti-detachment structure of the mounting slot 11 achieves reliable locking with the vehicle mounting bracket through physical limiting, effectively preventing the switch from loosening due to long-term vibration and improving system reliability.

[0057] Furthermore, the elastic deformation of the fixed spring 12 is positively correlated with its installation preload.

[0058] Specifically, the positive correlation between the elastic deformation of the fixed spring 12 and the preload force enables adaptive adjustment of the installation fastening force, ensuring installation stability while avoiding excessive tightening that could damage components.

[0059] When using this invention, ensure the switch model matches the vehicle, turn off the vehicle's power, and disconnect the battery's negative terminal for safety. Check that the switch body housing 1, operating knob 2, decorative panel 3, and electrical connection components 4 are complete and undamaged. Connect the electrical connection pins 41 of the electrical connection components 4 to the corresponding plugs in the vehicle's electrical wiring harness, ensuring good contact. Use insulating tape or special wire clamps to secure the wiring and prevent loosening. Align the decorative panel 3 with the connection point between the switch body housing 1 and the operating knob 2, adjust its position according to the panel positioning point 32, and then snap it into place.

[0060] Align the switch body housing 1 with the vehicle mounting holes, ensuring that the mounting slot 11 is initially aligned with the vehicle bracket. Press the retaining spring 12 to deform it elastically, and push the switch body housing 1 in along the installation direction until the retaining spring 12 and the mounting slot 11 complete a bidirectional limiting engagement, achieving a secure installation.

[0061] After installation, observe whether the knob positioning point 21 of the operation knob 2 is aligned with the panel positioning point 32 of the decorative panel 3, and confirm that the knob is in the initial state.

[0062] According to the prompts of the right mirror indicator 31 and the left mirror indicator 33, rotate the operation knob 2 in the corresponding direction to adjust the rearview mirror angle.
