[0002] The interior door switch is an important component of a vehicle door, used to open and close the door. Installed inside the door and connected to the door lock body, the door switch opens the lock assembly, thus unlocking the door.

[0003] In related technologies, interior door switches typically use a handle. However, with handle-type interior door switches, when opening the door, the user needs to pull the handle inward while simultaneously pushing the door outward. Since the forces exerted by pulling the handle and pushing the door outward are opposite, the operation of opening the door is not smooth, reducing the user's door-opening experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide an interior door switch to solve the problem that existing handle-type interior door switches are not smooth to operate when opening the door, thus reducing the user's door opening experience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application discloses an interior door switch, the interior door switch comprising:

[0007] A housing for connection to a vehicle door;

[0008] The button is movably connected to the housing.

[0037] The interior door switch is an important component of a vehicle door, used to open and close the door. Installed inside the door and connected to the door's lock assembly, the switch opens the lock assembly, allowing the user to open the door from inside the vehicle.

[0038] In related technologies, the door opening mechanism typically uses a handle. Pulling the handle opens the lock assembly, and then pushing the door outwards opens the door. However, in this process, the forces applied to pull the handle and push the door outwards are opposite, resulting in an unsmooth door opening operation and reducing the user's door opening experience.

[0039] Based on the above analysis, this application provides an in-vehicle door switch. The in-vehicle door switch of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-4The door switch 1 provided in this embodiment may specifically include a housing 10 for connection to the door; a button 11 movably connected to the housing 10; and a connector 12, including a fixed bracket 121 and a transmission line 122. The fixed bracket 121 is fixed to the door at a distance from the housing 10. One end of the transmission line 122 is connected to the button 11, and the other end of the transmission line 122 is movably connected to the fixed bracket 121. The other end of the transmission line 122 is connected to the door lock assembly 3. The button 11 is used to move the transmission line 122 by pressing, and the transmission line 122 is used to transmit the movement of the button 11 to the door lock assembly 3. The fixed bracket 121 is used to limit the movement of the transmission line 122.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 10 is used to be fixedly connected to the outer side of the interior trim panel inside the car door. Its shape and size match the installation space reserved in the interior trim panel of the car door, so that the door switch 1 can be securely installed on the car door. The fixing connection method between the housing 10 and the interior of the car door may include, but is not limited to, bonding, welding, bolting, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. The fixing bracket 121 is fixed to the inner side of the interior trim panel of the car door, and the fixing position of the housing 10 on the car door and the fixing position of the fixing bracket 121 on the car door are spaced apart.

[0042] Button 11 is movably connected to housing 10, meaning button 11 can move relative to housing 10. One end of transmission line 122 is connected to button 11, and the other end of transmission line 122 is movably connected to fixed bracket 121 through sliding fit, rolling fit, or other forms of connection, so that transmission line 122 can move on fixed bracket 121. At the same time, fixed bracket 121 can limit the movement of transmission line 122, so that the downward movement of button 11 is converted into smooth movement of transmission line 122, thereby accurately transmitting the pressing action of button 11 to lock body assembly 3.

[0043] The transmission line 122 can be made of steel wire, nylon wire, etc. The other end of the transmission line 122 is connected to the lock hook of the lock body assembly 3 of the car door. When the user presses the button 11, the button 11 moves relative to the housing 10 after receiving the user's pressing operation, which in turn drives the transmission line 122 to move. The movement of the transmission line 122 causes the lock hook on the lock body assembly 3 to open. The opening of the lock hook releases the lock body assembly 3, and then pushes the car door outward to open the car door.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting a button 11, a fixed bracket 121, and a transmission line 122, when the user presses the button 11, the button 11 drives the transmission line 122 to move. The fixed bracket 121 can limit the movement of the transmission line 122, so that the downward movement of the button 11 is converted into the smooth movement of the transmission line 122. This accurately transmits the pressing action of the button 11 to the lock body assembly 3, thereby driving the lock body assembly 3 of the car door to open, and then pushing the car door outward to open the door. In this process, the force direction of pressing the button 11 and pushing the car door outward is the same, which improves the smoothness of opening the car door and enhances the user's door opening experience.

[0045] Optionally, the housing 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 101, and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 101 is provided with a first through hole 102; the button 11 is at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity 101; the button 11 passes through the first through hole 102 and is fixedly connected to the transmission line 122, and the button 11 is movable within the first through hole 102.

[0046] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the housing 10 has a receiving cavity 101 inside, which is used to accommodate part of the structure of the button 11. The shape and size of the receiving cavity 101 match the shape and size of the button 11 to ensure that the button 11 can be securely installed therein and can move within the receiving cavity 101 when pressed. The receiving cavity 101 can protect the button 11, prevent dust and moisture from entering and prevent external impurities from entering, thus extending the service life of the button 11.

[0047] The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 101 is provided with a first through hole 102, which penetrates the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 101. The button 11 passes through the first through hole 102 and is fixedly connected to the transmission line 122. The shape and size of the first through hole 102 are adapted to the shape and size of the corresponding part of the button 11, so that the button 11 can move within the first through hole 102, thereby enabling the button 11 to move relative to the housing 10.

[0048] In practical applications, by setting a first through hole 102 in the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 101, the button 11 can move within the first through hole 102, driving the transmission line 122 to move, thereby driving the door lock body assembly to open. During this process, the force direction of pressing the button 11 and pushing the door outward is the same, which further improves the smoothness of opening the door and enhances the user's door opening experience.

[0049] Optionally, the button 11 includes an angled pressing part 111 and a connecting part 112; the pressing part 111 is at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and the pressing part 111 is used to receive pressing operations; the connecting part 112 passes through the first through hole 102 and is fixedly connected to the connector 12; wherein the connecting part 112 is slidably engaged with the first through hole 102.

[0050] Specifically, the connecting part 112 is disposed on one side of the pressing part 111 located in the receiving cavity 101, and the pressing part 111 and the connecting part 112 are arranged at an angle, preferably 90°. The pressing part 111 is the part directly operated by the user, and the pressing part 111 can be a plate-like structure of any shape such as rectangular or circular, so that the user can press the pressing part 111.

[0051] The connecting part 112 is the part that fixes the button 11 to the connector 12. The connecting part 112 extends from one end of the pressing part 111 and passes through the first through hole 102 to be fixedly connected to the transmission line 122. The shape and size of the connecting part 112 match the shape and size of the first through hole 102 to ensure that the connecting part 112 can smoothly pass through the first through hole 102 and slide within it. In this way, when the user presses the pressing part 111, the pressing part 111 drives the connecting part 112 to slide within the first through hole 102, which in turn drives the connector 12 to move, thereby driving the door lock assembly to open. This reduces the friction and resistance of the button 11 during movement, further improving the smoothness of opening the door and enhancing the user's door opening experience.

[0052] Optionally, the fixed bracket 121 is provided with a limiting part 1211, and the transmission line 122 is movably connected to the limiting part 1211.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, a limiting part 1211 is provided at the end of the fixed bracket 121 away from the door. This limiting part 1211 can be a groove, slide rail, or through hole, etc. The movable connection between the transmission line 122 and the limiting part 1211 can be achieved through sliding fit, rolling fit, or other forms of connection, allowing the transmission line 122 to move within the limiting part 1211. In practical applications, the movable connection between the limiting part 1211 and the transmission line 122 allows the transmission line 122 to move smoothly under the guidance of the limiting part 1211. Simultaneously, the limiting part 1211 can limit the transmission line 122, converting the downward movement of the button 11 into a smooth movement of the transmission line 122, thereby accurately transmitting the pressing action of the button 11 to the lock body assembly 3. Furthermore, the limiting part 1211 restricts the transmission line 122, preventing unnecessary deviation or shaking, thus improving the stability and reliability of the transmission line 122.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the limiting part 1211 is a second through hole penetrating the fixed bracket 121, and the transmission line 122 passes through the second through hole and is movable within the second through hole. Figure 5As shown, the second through hole serves as a limiting part 1211, penetrating the main body of the fixed bracket 121. The shape and size of the second through hole match the shape and size of the transmission line 122, thus ensuring that the transmission line 122 can move smoothly within the second through hole and is constrained by the inner wall of the second through hole, avoiding unnecessary deviation or shaking, and improving the stability and reliability of the transmission line 122.

[0055] Optionally, the wall of the second through hole is provided with an opening 1212, and the transmission line 122 enters the second through hole from the opening 1212.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, an opening 1212 is provided on the side of the wall of the second through hole, through which the transmission wire 122 can enter the second through hole. The shape and size of the opening 1212 match the shape and size of the transmission wire 122 to ensure that the transmission wire 122 can enter the second through hole from the opening 1212. In practical applications, by providing the opening 1212, the transmission wire 122 can be more easily threaded into the second through hole without complicated assembly tools or steps, which helps to reduce installation costs and time and improve production efficiency. In addition, when it is necessary to adjust or replace the transmission wire 122, the opening 1212 makes it easier to remove and re-thread the transmission wire 122. This helps to reduce maintenance time and costs and improve the maintainability of the equipment.

[0057] Optionally, the door switch 1 also includes an elastic element 14, which is connected between the housing 10 and the button 11. The elastic element 14 is used to provide elastic force for resetting the button 11.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the elastic element 14 is disposed within the receiving cavity 101. One end of the elastic element 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the other end of the elastic element 14 is fixedly connected to the pressing part 111 of the button 11. The elastic element 14 provides elastic force for the reset of the button 11. When the user presses the button 11, the elastic element 14 deforms and stores energy. When the user releases the button 11, the elastic element 14 releases the stored energy, pushing the button 11 back to its initial position. In practical applications, by setting the elastic element 14 between the housing 10 and the button 11, the button 11 can be reset. The elastic element 14 ensures that the button 11 returns to its initial position after each operation, without requiring the user to manually pull or push it back, thereby enhancing the user's operating experience and satisfaction.

[0059] Optionally, the elastic element 14 is a spring.

[0060] like Figure 2As shown, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the pressing part 111 of the button 11. When the user presses the button 11, the spring deforms and stores energy. When the user releases the button 11, the spring releases the stored energy, pushing the button 11 back to its initial position. In this embodiment, because the spring has stable elastic properties, it can provide a constant restoring force after the button 11 is pressed. This ensures that the button 11 can quickly and accurately return to its initial position after each operation, improving the stability and reliability of the operation. Furthermore, since the spring is a common elastic element, its cost is low, thereby reducing the cost of the door switch 1.

[0061] In summary, the door-mounted switch 1 described in this application embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0062] In this embodiment, by setting a button 11, a fixed bracket 121, and a transmission line 122, when the user presses the button 11, the button 11 drives the transmission line 122 to move. The fixed bracket 121 can limit the movement of the transmission line 122, so that the downward movement of the button 11 is converted into the smooth movement of the transmission line 122. This accurately transmits the pressing action of the button 11 to the lock body assembly 3, thereby driving the lock body assembly 3 of the car door to open, and then pushing the car door outward to open the door. In this process, the force direction of pressing the button 11 and pushing the car door outward is the same, which improves the smoothness of opening the car door and enhances the user's door opening experience.

[0063] This application also discloses a vehicle door, specifically, as shown in the embodiments. Figure 5 As shown, the car door includes: a car door body 2, a lock body assembly 3, and a door interior switch 1 of any of the above. The lock body assembly 3 is installed on the car door body 2; the door interior switch 1 is installed on the car door body 2 and connected to the lock body assembly 3.

[0064] Specifically, the lock body assembly 3 is installed on the door body 2, and it is mainly responsible for locking and unlocking the door. The lock body assembly 3 contains a lock hook, which, in cooperation with the latch or other locking mechanisms on the door body, enables the door to be opened and closed. The door interior switch 1 is installed on the inside of the door body 2, and the transmission line 122 of the door interior switch 1 is connected to the lock hook of the lock body assembly 3.

[0065] Specifically, when the user presses button 11 on the door interior switch 1, the transmission line 122 of the door interior switch 1 transmits this action to the lock hook of the lock body assembly 3, thereby opening the door. Similarly, when the user releases button 11, the elastic element 14 inside the door interior switch 1 pushes button 11 to reset, ensuring that the lock body assembly 3 also returns to the corresponding state.

[0066] It should be noted that the specific structure of the door body 2 and the lock assembly 3 can be selected according to the actual situation, and this application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0067] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the door switch 1 is the same as that of the door switch 1 in any of the above embodiments, and its beneficial effects are similar, so it will not be described in detail here.
