This utility model's example of a control device for an automobile component enables control of the vehicle via electrical signals and is easy to carry and operate.
[0004] Some automotive component control modules improve control performance by installing four-way switches. However, the existing connection methods between four-way switches and control modules are relatively simple, mainly through plug-in connections. Vibrations generated during vehicle movement can easily affect the stability of these plug-in connections.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify the automotive component control module with a four-way switch. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive component control module with a four-way switch, which has the advantage of improving connection stability. It solves the problem that the existing four-way switch and control module have a relatively simple connection method, which is mainly connected by plug-in. The vibration generated during vehicle movement can easily affect the stability of the plug-in connection.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automotive component control module with a four-way switch, including a controller;
[0008] A switching element located on top of the controller;
[0009] The bottom of the switching element is provided with a pin, the bottom end of which penetrates into the interior of the controller and is electrically connected to the controller. Both sides of the top of the controller are fixedly connected with connecting blocks. A shaft is inserted into the inner side of the connecting block. A sealing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the shaft. The side of the sealing plate away from the shaft extends to the outside of the switching element and contacts the surface of the switching element.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, both ends of the shaft are fixedly connected to force-bearing rods, a connecting ring is sleeved on the surface of the controller, and compression frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the connecting ring. The bottom of the force-bearing rod on the side of the compression frame away from the connecting ring is in contact with the force-bearing rod.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an adjustment block is provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the controller. The front and back of the adjustment block are movably connected to a crank via a pin. The side of the crank away from the adjustment block is movably connected to a movable block via a pin. The top of the movable block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the controller has a limit frame fixedly connected to both its left and right sides, and the adjustment block is fitted onto the surface of the limit frame and slidably connected to the limit frame.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of both the left and right sides of the controller is provided with grooves, and the limiting frame and the adjusting block are both located inside the grooves.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment block, the bottom of the rubber pad is flush with the bottom of the controller, and the rubber pad can make frictional contact with the surface of the external circuit board after the controller is connected to the external circuit board.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model applies continuous pressure to the switching element through a sealing plate fixed by a shaft, which counteracts the risk of loosening between the pin and the controller interface when the vehicle vibrates. At the same time, the sealing plate covers the outside of the switching element to prevent dust and liquid from entering the pin connection and extend the interface life.
[0017] 2. This utility model converts the vertical movement of the connecting ring into the rotational torque of the shaft by extruding the contact frame with the force-bearing rod, amplifying the clamping force of the sealing plate on the switching element. The position change of the connecting ring can adjust the force of the extruding frame on the force-bearing rod in real time, dynamically compensating for loosening caused by vibration.
[0018] 3. This utility model converts the horizontal movement of the adjusting block into the vertical movement of the connecting ring through the crank, and disperses the vibration energy through the multi-stage hinge structure, reducing the impact directly transmitted to the sealing plate.
[0019] 4. This utility model uses a limiting frame to constrain the adjusting block to move only in the horizontal direction, preventing mechanical jamming caused by offset or tilt, ensuring the reliability of the crank transmission. The sliding fit between the limiting frame and the adjusting block forms a rigid support, enhancing the overall integrity of the bottom structure of the controller and reducing component resonance caused by vibration.
[0020] 5. This utility model hides the limiting frame and adjusting block through the groove, avoiding external collisions or foreign objects from interfering with the mechanical structure, while keeping the outer surface of the controller flat.
[0021] 6. This utility model increases the static friction between the controller and the circuit board by using the high friction coefficient material of the rubber pad, thus suppressing lateral displacement; its elastic properties absorb vertical vibration energy. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the automotive component control module with a four-way switch provided by this utility model includes a controller 1;
[0029] Switch element 2 is located on top of controller 1;
[0030] The bottom of the switching element 2 is provided with a pin 3. The bottom end of the pin 3 extends through the interior of the controller 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 1. Both sides of the top of the controller 1 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 4. A shaft 5 is inserted into the inner side of the connecting block 4. A sealing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the shaft 5. The side of the sealing plate 6 away from the shaft 5 extends to the outside of the switching element 2 and contacts the surface of the switching element 2.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 Both ends of the shaft 5 are fixedly connected to the force rod 7. The surface of the controller 1 is fitted with a connecting ring 8. Both sides of the top of the connecting ring 8 are fixedly connected to the extrusion frame 9. The bottom of the force rod 7 is in contact with the side of the extrusion frame 9 away from the connecting ring 8.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the vertical movement of the connecting ring 8 is converted into the rotational torque of the shaft 5 by the contact of the extrusion frame 9 with the force rod 7, which amplifies the clamping force of the sealing plate 6 on the switching element 2. The position change of the connecting ring 8 can adjust the force of the extrusion frame 9 on the force rod 7 in real time, and dynamically compensate for the loosening caused by vibration.
[0033] refer to Figure 2 Adjustment blocks 10 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of controller 1. Cranks 11 are movably connected to the front and back of adjustment blocks 10 via pins. Movable blocks 12 are movably connected to the side of cranks 11 away from adjustment blocks 10 via pins. The top of movable blocks 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of connecting rings 8.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the horizontal movement of the adjusting block 10 is converted into the vertical movement of the connecting ring 8 by the crank 11, and the vibration energy is dispersed by the multi-stage hinge structure to reduce the impact directly transmitted to the sealing plate 6.
[0035] refer to Figure 4 The controller 1 has a limit frame 13 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides, and the adjustment block 10 is sleeved on the surface of the limit frame 13 and slidably connected to the limit frame 13.
[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting frame 13 constrains the adjusting block 10 to move only in the horizontal direction, preventing mechanical jamming caused by offset or tilt, ensuring the reliability of the crank 11 transmission. The sliding cooperation between the limiting frame 13 and the adjusting block 10 forms a rigid support, enhancing the integrity of the bottom structure of the controller 1 and reducing component resonance caused by vibration.
[0037] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the left and right sides of the controller 1 is provided with grooves 14, and the limit frame 13 and the adjustment block 10 are both located inside the grooves 14.
[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting frame 13 and the adjusting block 10 are hidden by the groove 14 to avoid external collisions or foreign objects interfering with the mechanical structure, while keeping the outer surface of the controller 1 flat.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the adjusting block 10 is fixedly connected to a rubber pad 15. The bottom of the rubber pad 15 is flush with the bottom of the controller 1. The rubber pad 15 can make frictional contact with the surface of the external circuit board after the controller 1 is connected to the external circuit board.
[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the high friction coefficient material of the rubber pad 15 increases the static friction between the controller 1 and the circuit board, suppressing lateral displacement; its elastic properties absorb vertical vibration energy.
[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the switching element 2 is plugged into the top of the controller 1 via the pin 3. Then, the operator slides the adjusting blocks 10 on both sides along the limiting frame 13 in the groove 14 at the bottom of the controller 1. The movement of the adjusting blocks 10 is converted into the vertical movement of the movable block 12 through the crank 11 connected by the pin shaft. This causes the connecting ring 8, which is fixed to the movable block 12, to rise. The pressing frame 9 at the top of the connecting ring 8 moves with it, applying pressure to the force rods 7 at both ends of the shaft 5. After the force rods 7 are subjected to force, they drive the shaft 5 to rotate within the connecting block 4, causing the sealing plate 6, which is fixed to the surface of the shaft 5, to swing towards the switching element 2. The sealing plate 6 presses the surface of the switching element 2 through elastic contact, forming a physical fixation and offsetting the loosening of the pin 3 due to vibration. The rubber pad 15 at the bottom of the adjusting block 10 forms frictional contact with the surface of the circuit board after the controller 1 is installed on the external circuit board. The material of the rubber pad 15 provides a high coefficient of friction, preventing the controller 1 from lateral displacement due to vehicle vibration.
[0042] In summary, this automotive component control module with a four-way switch applies continuous pressure to the switching element 2 through the sealing plate 6 fixed by the shaft 5, which counteracts the risk of loosening of the interface between the pin 3 and the controller 1 when the vehicle vibrates. At the same time, the sealing plate 6 covers the outside of the switching element 2 to prevent dust and liquid from entering the connection of the pin 3 and extend the interface life.
