[0002] Motorcycle handlebar switches are control devices installed on the left and right handlebars of a motorcycle. They are mainly used to control various functions of the motorcycle and are one of the key components for rider-motorcycle interaction.
[0003] Normally, motorcycle handlebars do not have a speed-locking function. When riding long distances, riders need to hold the throttle handlebar with their right hand and maintain a certain amount of force to maintain speed. Maintaining the same posture for a long time can lead to muscle fatigue in the hands, arms, and even shoulders, affecting the rider's attention and control ability, and increasing riding risks. Therefore, a motorcycle handlebar switch with LED lights and a self-locking mechanism is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a motorcycle handlebar switch with LED light and self-locking mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a motorcycle handlebar switch with LED light and self-locking mechanism, comprising a switch body, a handlebar body, a button panel, and a speed self-locking button. The handlebar body is located on one side of the switch body, and the switch body includes an upper shell and a lower shell, with a through hole between the upper shell and the lower shell. A base plate is located inside one side of the switch body, and a PCB board is located on the base plate. Microswitches are evenly distributed on the PCB board.

A speed self-locking button is located at the center of the side of the button panel away from the button levers, and adjustment buttons are evenly distributed on the button panel outside the speed self-locking button. An LED light body is located on the top of the switch body, and a lampshade is located on the outside of the LED light body.
[0006] Preferably, one end of the handle body passes through the through hole, and the other end of the handle body is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve, which can securely connect to the switch body, while enhancing grip friction, effectively preventing hand slippage during riding, and improving control safety and comfort.
[0007] Preferably, a cable is provided on one side of the switch body, and the cable is electrically connected to the vehicle control unit, which realizes the precise interaction between the switch signal and the vehicle control system, and ensures the fast and stable transmission of function commands such as cruise control.
[0008] Preferably, the button lever and the micro switch are both on the same vertical line, and the button lever is fitted with a spring sleeve to ensure accurate and sensitive triggering when pressed. The spring sleeve provides a reset force to prevent accidental touch and extend the service life of the switch.
[0009] Preferably, the upper housing has inserts on both sides of the bottom, and the lower housing has slots at both ends of the top that match the inserts, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, enhances the stability of the switch body structure, and resists the impact of riding vibrations on internal components.
[0010] Preferably, elastic elements are provided on both sides of the slot through support members, and the elastic elements are all metal springs.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This motorcycle handlebar switch with LED light and self-locking mechanism consists of a switch body, a base plate, a PCB board, a micro switch, a button panel, a speed self-locking button, a button lever, and an LED light body. When the user presses the speed self-locking button, the button lever at its bottom contacts the corresponding micro switch. The micro switch is triggered, generating an electrical signal. This signal is transmitted to the motorcycle's control unit via the circuitry on the PCB board. The control unit reads the current vehicle speed signal from the speed sensor and uses it as the set speed for cruise control. Simultaneously, it controls the throttle... The valve actuator adjusts the engine's intake air volume and fuel injection volume, thereby controlling the engine speed and output power, and thus controlling the vehicle speed. The driver does not need to continuously hold the accelerator to control the speed, which can reduce fatigue and reduce operational errors caused by fatigue. At the same time, the main LED light illuminates to remind the user that the cruise control is in working mode. Cruise control can be set by pressing the speed lock button without complicated operation. The main LED light illuminates when cruise control is activated, providing a direct visual signal to remind the user of the current system status, reducing the frequency of the driver looking down at the instrument panel and improving riding safety.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a motorcycle handlebar switch with LED light and self-locking mechanism, comprising a switch body 1, a handlebar body 2, a button panel 3 and a speed self-locking button 12. The handlebar body 2 is provided on one side of the switch body 1, and the switch body 1 includes an upper shell 14 and a lower shell 15, with a through hole 16 formed between the upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15.
[0022] One end of the handle body 2 passes through the through hole 16. The switch body 1 is composed of an upper shell 14 and a lower shell 15. The upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15 are wrapped around and installed on the outside of one end of the handle body 2.
[0023] The upper housing 14 has two insertion posts 17 on both sides of the bottom, and the lower housing 15 has two slots 18 at both ends of the top that match the insertion posts 17.
[0024] Both sides of the slot 18 are provided with elastic elements 20 through support members 21, and the elastic elements 20 are all metal springs. Both sides of the insertion post 17 are provided with limiting grooves 19, and the elastic elements 20 are all inserted into the limiting grooves 19.
[0025] When the upper housing 14 is connected to the lower housing 15, the insert post 17 is inserted into the slot 18, the elastic element 20 is deformed by compression, and after being inserted into place, the spring piece rebounds and locks into the limiting groove 19, forming a mechanical lock, which facilitates installation and disassembly while preventing the upper housing 14 from separating from the lower housing 15 due to vibration during the motorcycle's operation.
[0026] The support member 21 provides a fulcrum for the elastic element 20, so that the elastic element 20 can deform evenly when subjected to force, and avoids stress concentration leading to fatigue fracture.
[0027] Sealing gaskets 22 are provided on the upper housing 14 on both sides of the insertion post 17, and sealing grooves 23 matching the sealing gaskets 22 are provided on the lower housing 15 on both sides of the slot 18. The sealing gaskets 22 are all made of rubber.
[0028] When the insert 17 is fully inserted into the slot 18, the sealing gasket 22 is squeezed into the sealing groove 23, forming a continuous waterproof barrier to prevent rainwater and mud from entering.
[0029] The other end of the handle body 2 is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve 7 to increase the anti-slip properties when the user grips it.
[0030] A base plate 4 is provided inside one side of the switch body 1, and a PCB board 8 is provided on the base plate 4. Micro switches 9 are evenly distributed on the PCB board 8. A button panel 3 is provided on the switch body 1 outside the base plate 4, and button levers 10 are evenly arranged on the side of the button panel 3 close to the micro switches 9. A speed self-locking button 12 is provided at the center of the side of the button panel 3 away from the button levers 10.
[0031] The button lever 10 and the micro switch 9 are both on the same vertical line, and the button lever 10 is fitted with a spring sleeve 11.
[0032] When the user presses the speed self-locking button 12 on the button panel 3, the corresponding button lever 10 moves downward. The button lever 10 contacts the corresponding micro switch 9, the spring sleeve 11 is compressed, the internal spring of the micro switch 9 deforms and conducts the circuit, generating an electrical signal.
[0033] A cable 5 is provided on one side of the switch body 1, and the cable 5 is electrically connected to the vehicle control unit. The cable 5 transmits the signal to the motorcycle control unit ECU. The ECU synchronously reads the current vehicle speed transmitted by the vehicle speed sensor, sets the current vehicle speed as the target speed for cruise control, and stores it in the memory.
[0034] If the actual vehicle speed is lower than the set value, a signal is sent to the throttle actuator, such as the throttle motor, via cable 5 to increase the throttle opening, increase the fuel injection, and increase the engine speed. If the actual vehicle speed is higher than the set value, a signal is sent to decrease the throttle opening, reduce the fuel injection, and decrease the engine speed. By controlling the vehicle to maintain a constant speed, the driver does not need to continuously hold the accelerator to control the vehicle speed, which can reduce fatigue and reduce operational errors caused by fatigue.
[0035] The top of the switch body 1 is equipped with an LED light body 6. The PCB board 8 supplies power to the LED light body 6. The LED light is lit through the lamp cover 24 to remind the user that cruise control is activated. This provides a direct visual signal to remind the user of the current system working status, reducing the frequency of the driver looking down at the instrument panel and improving riding safety.
[0036] The LED lamp body 6 has a lampshade 24 on its outer side. The lampshade 24 is made of polycarbonate material, which has good light transmission and strong impact resistance.
[0037] Adjustment buttons 13 are evenly arranged on the button panel 3 outside the speed self-locking button 12. The adjustment buttons 13 can be used for acceleration, deceleration, resumption or pause functions according to actual needs.
[0038] Working principle: In this embodiment, the switch body 1 consists of an upper housing 14 and a lower housing 15, which are engaged by a pin 17 and a slot 18. The sealing gasket 22 is embedded in the sealing groove 23 to achieve waterproofing. The upper housing 14 and the lower housing 15 are installed on the outside of one end of the handle body 2. When the pin 17 is inserted into the slot 18, the elastic element 20 is compressed and deformed. After being inserted into the slot, the spring returns and locks into the limiting groove 19, forming a mechanical lock. The support member 21 provides a fulcrum for the elastic element 20, so that the elastic element 20 can deform evenly when subjected to force, avoiding stress concentration that could lead to fatigue fracture. When the pin 17 is fully inserted into the slot 18, the sealing gasket 22 is compressed and embedded into the sealing groove 23, forming a continuous waterproof barrier to prevent rainwater and mud from entering. When the user presses the speed self-locking button 12 on the button panel 3, it moves the corresponding button lever 10 downward. The button lever 10 contacts the corresponding micro switch 9, and the spring sleeve... 11. Compression: The internal spring of the microswitch 9 deforms and conducts the circuit, generating an electrical signal. This signal is transmitted to cable 5 via circuit traces on PCB board 8. Cable 5 then sends the signal to the motorcycle control unit (ECU). The ECU synchronously reads the current vehicle speed from the speed sensor, sets it as the target speed for cruise control, and stores it in memory. If the actual vehicle speed is lower than the set value, a signal is sent through cable 5 to the throttle actuator, such as the throttle motor, to increase the throttle opening, increase fuel injection, and increase engine speed. If the actual vehicle speed is higher than the set value, a signal is sent to decrease the throttle opening, decrease fuel injection, and decrease engine speed. Simultaneously, PCB board 8 supplies power to the LED light body 6, and the LED light illuminates through the lamp cover 24, indicating that cruise control is activated. This provides a direct visual signal to remind the user of the current system's operating status, reducing the frequency of the driver looking down at the instrument panel and improving riding safety.
