[0026] 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.

[0027] Example

[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a five-way switch for motorcycles is mounted on a housing 1, including a bracket 2 and a rear cover 3. A circuit board 4 connected to an instrument panel is disposed inside the bracket. Five microswitches 5 are disposed on the circuit board, with one microswitch located in the center and the five microswitches connected in a cross shape. In this embodiment, the circuit board has a conventional structure of the prior art, and the microswitches are tactile switches.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top surface of the bracket is provided with a hemispherical protrusion 6, the center of the hemispherical protrusion is provided with a central button hole 7, and the bracket is provided with four edge button holes 8. The hemispherical protrusion is used for guidance when tilting, and its micro switches are respectively located below the central button hole and the edge button holes.

[0030] In this embodiment, an extended top post 9 is inserted into the central button hole; a panel 10 is fixed to the top surface of the bracket by screws, and a hemispherical clearance protrusion 11 is provided on the panel, with a through hole 12 in the center of the hemispherical clearance protrusion; the panel is mainly used to cooperate with the bracket to realize the limiting and adjustment control operation of the hollow hemispherical swing block.

[0031] In this embodiment, a hollow hemispherical swing block 13 with a pressing protrusion 23 on the edge is provided inside the hemispherical relief protrusion; wherein the diameter of the hemispherical protrusion is smaller than the inner diameter of the hollow hemispherical swing block, and the outer diameter of the hollow hemispherical swing block is smaller than the inner diameter of the hemispherical relief protrusion.

[0032] Meanwhile, a button 14 is provided on the top surface of the panel. The button is fixed to the top rod 15 by screws. The top rod passes through a through hole and is connected to the hollow hemispherical swing block. When pressed down, it makes contact with the extended top column. The button can drive the hemispherical swing block to rotate via the top rod, or the button can be pressed down directly to control the micro switch in the middle through the extended top column. In this embodiment, the lower diameter of the top rod is smaller than the upper diameter, and the lower part is inserted into the limiting cylinder seat.

[0033] In practical applications, a hollow connecting rod 16 is integrally formed at the center of the top surface of the hollow hemispherical swing block. The hollow hemispherical swing block is fitted onto the hemispherical protrusion, and under the guidance of the hemispherical protrusion, the hollow hemispherical swing block presses the protrusion against the micro switch on the side. A limiting sleeve 17 is provided in the inner cavity of the hollow connecting rod, and the bottom surface of the limiting sleeve abuts against the top edge of the central button hole. The push rod passes through the limiting sleeve and is connected to the extended push column, and a return spring 18 is provided between the push rod and the bottom wall of the limiting sleeve. When the push rod is pressed, it presses against the micro switch in the middle through the extended push column. Through the above structure, the pressing control of five different micro switches can be guaranteed, improving the convenience and effectiveness of operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, a silicone pad 19 is provided between the micro switch and the bracket, and the pressing protrusions of the elongated top column and the hollow hemispherical swing block are pressed against the micro switch through the silicone pad. This can reduce the wear of the micro switch and extend its service life.

[0035] In this embodiment, a baffle 20 is fixed on the hollow connecting rod, and the baffle is located on the top surface of the panel. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the hollow connecting rod and smaller than the diameter of the baffle. This structure ensures the effectiveness of the tilting operation of the hollow hemispherical swing block, and the baffle also helps to improve the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the limiting cylinder seat is a plastic cylinder with a hemispherical bottom surface. The bottom surface of the plastic cylinder abuts against the top surface of the central button hole of the hemispherical protrusion. The push rod separates from the top of the extended push column under the action of a spring. The hemispherical bottom surface ensures the effectiveness and stability of the tilting of the hollow hemispherical swing block, and the return spring ensures that the button is always in the same initial position.

[0037] In this embodiment, an indicator light bead 21 is also provided on the circuit board, and a lampshade 22 is provided on the top surface of the baffle. This allows for illumination and indication operations.

[0038] This utility model has positive effects: The structure of this utility model is reasonably designed. It can realize the pressing of different micro switches by using a hollow hemispherical swing block in conjunction with a button and a top rod, as well as an extended top column and a pressing protrusion. This allows for the adjustment, selection and determination of different functions on the instrument, reducing the number of presses, which helps to reduce processing costs and assembly volume, making operation more convenient. It also helps to improve the stability and reliability of use and has strong applicability.

[0039] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the instruction manual can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
