Detailed Implementation

[0017] Therefore, in order to make the structure of the automotive window lift switch assembly more compact, the embodiments of this application provide the following solutions.

[0018] The following combination Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] 1. This embodiment discloses a compact novel automotive window regulator switch assembly: including a housing 1, a pair of buttons 2, and a switch mechanism. The buttons 2 are symmetrically arranged on the housing 1. Each button 2 includes a transmission block 21, a base 22, and a first fixed shaft 23. Both ends of the first fixed shaft 23 are slidably connected to the housing 1. The base 22 has a mounting groove 221. One end of the transmission block 21 is rotatably disposed inside the mounting groove 221. The first fixed shaft 23 passes through the base 22 and the transmission block 21. The first fixed shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the base 22 and rotatably connected to the transmission block 21. The switch mechanism is disposed on the housing 1 and is used to control the raising and lowering of the two windows in coordination with different actions of the buttons 2.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the compact novel automotive window regulator switch assembly provided in this application embodiment can be composed of various mechanical switches. The two ends of the first fixed shaft 23 can slide on the housing 1 in two opposite directions. The transmission block 21 can rotate around the first fixed shaft 23 in two opposite directions by a certain angle. When using the switch assembly, pushing the transmission block 21 in one direction causes the transmission block 21 to slide the first fixed shaft 23 and the base 22 on the housing 1. The switch mechanism is controlled by the action of the button 2 and controls one pane of glass to rise. If the transmission block 21 is pushed in the opposite direction, the transmission block 21 drives the first fixed shaft 23 and the base 22 to slide on the housing 1. Shaft 23 slides in the opposite direction to base 22. The switch mechanism is controlled by the action of button 2 and controls the glass to descend, thereby controlling the raising and lowering of one piece of glass. If the transmission block 21 is lifted in one direction, the transmission block 21 rotates around the first fixed shaft 23. The switch mechanism is controlled by the action of the transmission block 21 to raise another piece of glass. Similarly, if the transmission block 21 is pressed to rotate in the opposite direction around the first fixed shaft 23, the switch mechanism controls the glass to descend, thereby controlling the raising and lowering of another piece of glass. The two buttons 2 in the switch assembly can control the raising and lowering of two different pieces of glass respectively, so four different pieces of glass can be controlled.

[0021] 2. In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4The switching mechanism includes two sets of first switch assemblies 3 and second switch assemblies 4. The first switch assemblies 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the button 2. The first switch assemblies 3 include a second fixed shaft 31, a slider 32, a first reset member, and a touch sensor. Both ends of the second fixed shaft 31 are fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The slider 32 is slidably arranged on the second fixed shaft 31. Both ends of the first fixed shaft 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sliders 32. The touch sensor is arranged on the outer shell 1 and is used to cooperate with the slider 32 to control the lifting and lowering of one piece of glass. The first reset member is arranged on the second fixed shaft 31 and is used to automatically reset the slider 32 after it moves. The second switch assembly 4 is arranged inside the mounting groove 221 and is used to cooperate with the transmission block 21 to control the lifting and lowering of the other piece of glass.

[0022] With this configuration, when the transmission block 21 is moved, the transmission block 21 drives the first fixed shaft 23 and the base 22 to move. The first fixed shaft 23 drives the sliders 32 at both ends to slide along the second fixed shaft 31. After the sliders 32 slide a certain distance, they trigger the touch sensor, which controls a piece of glass to rise. After the transmission block 21 is pushed in the opposite direction to move a certain distance, the sliders 32 slide in the opposite direction and trigger the touch sensor, which controls the glass to fall, thus realizing the control of raising and lowering a piece of glass.

[0023] 3. Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The touch sensor includes a pair of touch switches 34. A spring 11 is fixedly mounted on the housing 1. The touch switches 34 are fixedly mounted on the housing 1 and are located at both ends of the second fixed shaft 31.

[0024] With this configuration, after the transmission block 21 is pushed a certain distance toward one end of the second fixed shaft 31, both sliders 32 come into contact with the spring 11. Then, if the transmission block 21 is pushed further, the sliders 32 will compress the spring 11, and the spring 11 will come into contact with the touch switch 34 and trigger it. The touch switch 34 controls a piece of glass to rise. Similarly, if the transmission block 21 is pushed in the opposite direction, the touch switch 34 at the other end of the second fixed shaft 31 will be triggered, and the touch switch 34 will control the glass to fall.

[0025] 4. Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first reset component includes a pair of springs 33, which are respectively sleeved on both ends of the second fixed shaft 31, and the two ends of the springs 33 abut against the slider 32 and the outer shell 1 respectively.

[0026] With such a setting, in the initial state, the two springs 33 on the second fixed shaft 31 exert elastic forces of equal magnitude and opposite directions on the slider 32, and the slider 32 remains stationary. After pushing the transmission block 21 to slide the slider 32 in one direction, the slider 32 compresses one spring 33, and the elastic force exerted by this spring 33 on the slider 32 increases. At the same time, the other spring 33 extends, and the elastic force exerted by this spring 33 on the slider 32 decreases. After releasing the transmission block 21, the slider 32 returns to its original position under the action of the two springs 33, thus playing an automatic reset role for the slider 32.

[0027] 5 In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , the second switch component 4 includes a first conductive plate 41, a second conductive plate 42 and a second reset member. Both the first conductive plate 41 and the second conductive plate 42 are fixedly arranged inside the installation groove 221. A first electrode piece 411 is fixedly arranged on the first conductive plate 41, and a second electrode piece 211 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the transmission block 21 close to the base 22. The second reset member is arranged on the first fixed shaft 23 and is used to automatically reset the transmission block 21 after it rotates.

[0028] With such a setting, the first conductive plate 41 and the second conductive plate 42 are respectively arranged in two circuits. When lifting one end of the transmission block 21, the transmission block 21带动 the second electrode piece 211 to rotate around the first fixed shaft 23. The second electrode piece 211 is in a "ji" shape. After the transmission block 21 rotates a certain angle, one end of the second electrode piece 211 contacts the first electrode piece 411, and the first conductive plate 41 is connected to the second electrode piece 211, thus connecting the circuit for controlling the rising of a piece of glass. After releasing the transmission block 21, the second reset member makes the transmission block 21 reverse and reset; when pressing one end of the transmission block 21, the transmission block 21带动 the second electrode piece 211 to reverse around the first fixed shaft 23. After the transmission block 21 rotates a certain angle, one end of the second electrode piece 211 contacts the second conductive plate 42, thus connecting the circuit for controlling the lowering of this piece of glass. After releasing the transmission block 21, the second reset member makes the transmission block 21 reverse and reset.

[0029] 6 Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the second reset member includes a torsion spring 43. The torsion spring 43 is sleeved on the first fixed shaft 23, and both ends of the torsion spring 43 are fixedly connected to the transmission block 21 and a slider 32 respectively.

[0030] With such a setting, in the initial state, the torsion spring 43 does not exert an elastic force on the transmission block 21. When the transmission block 21 rotates around the first fixed shaft 23 in one direction, the transmission block 21 twists the torsion spring 43, and the torsion spring 43 exerts an elastic force on it. After releasing the transmission block 21, the torsion spring 43 pushes the transmission block 21 to reverse and return to its original position, thus playing an automatic reset role for the transmission block 21.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
