Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] A type of pull-cable switch integrated with the brake lever of an electric bicycle, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a rear end 1 and a front end 2, which are fixedly connected to each other. A contact 9 is inserted into the end of the front end 2 away from the rear end 1. A connector 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the contact 9 and inserted into the interior of the front end 2. A protective sleeve 14 is fitted over the contact 9. One end of the protective sleeve 14 is snapped into the inner wall of the front end 2. A sealing ring 15 is snapped into the inner wall of the end of the front end 2 away from the rear end 1. The sealing ring 15 is fitted over the protective sleeve 14 and is pressed into one end of the protective sleeve 14.
[0026] The sheath 14 is an elastic structure and will not prevent the contact 9 from sliding. The end of the contact 9 is a friction stone.
[0027] The contact 9 is inserted into the front end 2, and a protective sleeve 14 is fitted on the outside. The contact 9 and the protective sleeve 14 are sealed together. The protective sleeve 14 limits the contact 9 to the front end 2. Then, with the cooperation of the sealing ring 15, the sealing ring 15 is inserted into the front end 2 and squeezes one end of the protective sleeve 14, so that the protective sleeve 14 and the front end 2 are sealed and waterproof. Therefore, the contact 9 and the front end 2 are sealed and waterproof, and the sliding of the contact 9 is not affected. The multiple structures are tightly connected to form an integrated pull-cord switch with good waterproof performance.
[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the front end 2 has a cavity 21 inside, the connector 10 is located in the cavity 21, and a spring is engaged between the end of the connector 10 and the inner wall of the cavity 21. The spring is pressed between the connector 10 and the inner wall of the cavity 21 for the elastic extension and retraction of the contact 9.
[0029] When contact 9 is pressed, contact 9 slides and extends, compressing the spring, which facilitates the reset when contact 9 is not pressed. One end of the spring is engaged with connector 10, and the other end abuts or engages with the inner wall of cavity 21.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the sheath 14 is shaped like a frustum of a cone, and an annular groove 20 is provided on the side wall of the contact 9.

A protrusion 19 is fixed to the lower end of the U-shaped plate 12, and the protrusion 19 abuts against the inner wall of the front end 2.
[0035] The U-shaped plate 12 is snapped into the connector 10. When the connector is located inside the front end 2, the protrusion 19 conducts electricity by contacting the conductive sheet inside the front end 2. The conductive sheet is a necessary structure for the pull-cord switch. The specific installation method or shape will not be elaborated here.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, both the front end 2 and the rear end 1 have grooves 4 on their side walls. Multiple sets of grooves 4 are provided to increase the friction on the side of the switch. A spring plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the front end 2.
[0037] The groove 4 increases the friction on the side wall of the pull switch, and the spring plate 6 engages with other structures of the brake lever, making it easy to install the pull switch.
[0038] The working principle of the integrated pull-cable switch for electric vehicle brake lever provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0039] The contact 9 is inserted into the front end 2, and a protective sleeve 14 is fitted on the outside. The contact 9 and the protective sleeve 14 are sealed together. The protective sleeve 14 limits the contact 9 to the front end 2. Then, with the cooperation of the sealing ring 15, the sealing ring 15 is inserted into the front end 2 and squeezes one end of the protective sleeve 14, so that the protective sleeve 14 and the front end 2 are sealed and waterproof. Therefore, the contact 9 and the front end 2 are sealed and waterproof, and the sliding of the contact 9 is not affected. The multiple structures are tightly connected to form an integrated pull-cord switch with good waterproof performance.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
