Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This utility model provides a clutch switch for motorcycle electric vehicles, including a housing 1, which comprises an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 3. A control switch 4 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the control switch 4 has terminals 5 and a button 6. The lower housing 3 has a mounting base 7, and a pressing member 8 is movably mounted on the mounting base 7. The pressing member 8 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 7 via a spring 9. The pressing member 8 has a protrusion 10 with a bevel 11. A handle 12 is movably mounted on the housing 1. The lower housing 3 extends to have a connecting portion 13 with a mounting hole 14. The housing 1 has a movable hole 15, and the handle 12 extends to have a shaft 16 movably connected to the movable hole 15. A rib 17 is provided on the pressing member 8 opposite the protrusion 10. The upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 18. The upper housing 2 has a insert plate 19, and the lower housing 3 has a slot 20, with the insert plate 19 and slot 20 fixedly inserted into each other. The connecting part 13 is provided with a plug-in hole 21, and the upper housing 2 is provided with a plug-in post 22, which is fixedly plugged into the plug-in hole 21. The control switch 4 is provided with symmetrical fixing holes 23, and the lower housing 3 is provided with fixing posts 24 corresponding to the fixing holes 23, which are fixedly plugged into the fixing holes 23. The handle 12 is provided with a raised section 25. The handle 12 is made of stainless steel. The bottom of the lower housing 3 is provided with a connecting post 26. The outer housing 1 is made of polyamide.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the outer shell 1 of this utility model is equipped with a control switch 4. The outer shell 1 includes an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 3. The lower shell 3 is provided with a mounting base 7. A pressing member 8 is movably mounted on the mounting base 7. The pressing member 8 is provided with a protrusion 10. When in use, by pressing the handle 12, the handle swings down and the middle part of the handle acts on the pressing member 8. Under the guidance of the inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10, the protrusion 10 presses against the button 6 of the control switch 4, causing the state of the control switch 4 to change. When the handle 12 is released, the spring 9 quickly pops the pressing member 8 out, causing the protrusion 10 to move away from the button 6, and the button 6 to reset. This utility model controls the control state of the control switch 4 through the cooperation of the handle 12, the pressing member 8, and the spring 9, thereby improving the control stability.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 adopts a split structure design, including an upper casing 2 and a lower casing 3, which are fixedly connected by snaps or screws to form a complete closed structure. A control switch 4 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. The control switch 4 adopts a common micro switch structure and has two parts: a terminal 5 and a button 6. The terminal 5 is used to connect to an external circuit, and the button 6 is used to switch the state of the switch 4.

[0029] The lower housing 3 has an internal mounting base 7, which is a recessed structure for mounting the pressing component 8. The pressing component 8 is made of plastic and has a columnar structure, allowing it to slide up and down along the mounting base 7. The top of the pressing component 8 has a protrusion 10 with a bevel 11 at a specific angle. The bottom of the pressing component 8 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 7 via a spring 9, which is in a pre-compressed state, providing an upward elastic force to the pressing component 8.

[0030] A handle 12 is movably mounted on the side of the outer casing 1. The handle 12 is designed using the lever principle, with one end being the pressing end and the other end being the fulcrum end. The middle part of the handle 12 contacts the corresponding position of the pressing element 8. When the handle 12 is pressed, it rotates around the fulcrum, and the middle part presses down on the pressing element 8. A connecting part 13 extends from the lower casing 3, and an assembly hole 14 is provided on the connecting part 13 for fixing the entire clutch switch to a designated position on a motorcycle or electric vehicle.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: When the driver operates the clutch, an external force is applied to the pressing end of the handle 12. The handle 12 rotates around the fulcrum, and its middle part presses down on the pressing member 8. Under the action of the handle 12, the pressing member 8 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 9 and moves downward. The inclined surface 11 of its protrusion 10 contacts the switch button 6 and gradually applies pressure. As the handle 12 continues to press down, the inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10 guides the button 6 to move downward, eventually triggering the state switching of the control switch 4. When the external force is released, the restoring force of the spring 9 pushes the pressing member 8 to move upward quickly to reset, the protrusion 10 disengages from the button 6, and the button 6 returns to its original position under its own elastic force. The state of the control switch 4 is also reset.

[0032] This clutch switch achieves stable and reliable switching control through a mechanical linkage mechanism. The lever design of the handle 12 increases the operating torque, making operation easier. The inclined surface 11 of the pressing element 8 ensures the smooth triggering of the button 6, avoiding wear caused by direct impact. The spring 9 reset mechanism ensures the switch's rapid response and reliable reset. The entire device has a compact structure, is easy to install, and is suitable for clutch control systems of motorcycles and electric vehicles.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 is provided with a movable hole 15, and the handle 12 extends with a shaft portion 16, which is movably connected to the movable hole 15. In this embodiment, the movable hole 15 is located on the side wall of the outer casing 1 and is a circular through hole. The shaft portion 16 of the handle 12 passes through the movable hole 15, realizing the movable connection between the handle 12 and the outer casing 1. The shaft portion 16 and the movable hole 15 are fitted with a clearance, allowing the handle 12 to swing within the outer casing 1. When the handle 12 is subjected to an external force, the shaft portion 16 rotates within the movable hole 15, causing the handle 12 to move as a whole, thereby pushing the pressing member 8 downward. The inner wall of the movable hole 15 is smoothed to reduce the frictional resistance when the shaft portion 16 rotates, improving the operating sensitivity and service life of the handle 12.

[0035] The shaft 16 of the handle 12 has a cylindrical structure with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the movable hole 15, ensuring smooth rotation of the shaft 16 within the movable hole 15. Both ends of the shaft 16 extend to the sides of the outer casing 1, forming a symmetrical support structure to enhance the stability of the handle 12. Inside the outer casing 1, an annular boss is provided around the movable hole 15 to limit the axial displacement of the shaft 16, preventing the handle 12 from loosening or falling off during use. The height of the annular boss is precisely designed to ensure both the freedom of movement of the shaft 16 and to prevent excessive wobbling of the handle 12.

[0036] When the handle 12 is pressed, the shaft 16 rotates within the movable hole 15, causing the handle of the handle 12 to swing downwards. The middle part of the handle contacts the pressing element 8, transmitting the pressing force to the pressing element 8. Under the action of the handle 12, the pressing element 8 moves downwards, and the inclined surface 11 of its protrusion 10 contacts the button 6, pushing the button 6 to change the state of the control switch 4. During this process, the fit between the shaft 16 and the movable hole 15 ensures that the movement trajectory of the handle 12 is stable, without any deviation or jamming. When the external force is removed, the spring 9 pushes the pressing element 8 to reset, and the handle 12 automatically returns to its original position under the force of the spring 9. The shaft 16 rotates in the opposite direction within the movable hole 15, restoring its initial position.

[0037] This embodiment achieves stable movement of the handle 12 through the mating design of the shaft 16 and the movable hole 15, improving the operational reliability of the clutch switch. The movable hole 15 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, effectively reducing production costs. Simultaneously, the clearance fit design between the shaft 16 and the movable hole 15 reduces wear on moving parts and extends the service life of the clutch switch. In practical applications, this structure can adapt to the complex working environments of motorcycles and electric vehicles, ensuring stable operation of the clutch switch under various conditions.

[0038] Example 4:

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 consists of an upper casing 2 and a lower casing 3, with a control switch 4 fixedly installed inside. The control switch 4 has terminals 5 and buttons 6 for controlling the circuit on / off. The lower casing 3 has a mounting base 7, within which a pressing member 8 is movably mounted. The pressing member 8 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 7 via a spring 9, giving the pressing member 8 an automatic reset function. The pressing member 8 has a protrusion 10 with a beveled surface 11 structure for guiding the pressing action. A handle 12 is movably mounted on the outer casing 1, and the lower casing 3 extends to have a connecting part 13 with a mounting hole 14 for easy fixing of the entire clutch switch to a motorcycle or electric vehicle.

[0040] When the pressing member 8 moves within the mounting base 7, it has a raised rib 17 on its side. This raised rib 17 is located opposite the protrusion 10 and is a longitudinally extending strip-shaped structure. When the pressing member 8 moves up and down within the mounting base 7, the raised rib 17 remains in contact with the inner wall of the mounting base 7, forming a sliding guide. The height of the raised rib 17 is slightly greater than the thickness of the pressing member 8 body, maintaining a small gap between the pressing member 8 body and the inner wall of the mounting base 7. This design avoids direct contact between the pressing member 8 and the inner wall of the mounting base 7 over a large area, effectively reducing the friction area.

[0041] The working principle of the rib 17 structure is mainly reflected in three aspects: First, the rib 17 transforms the possible surface contact into line contact, significantly reducing frictional resistance and making the pressing action smoother; second, as a guide structure, the rib 17 ensures that the pressing part 8 maintains a stable movement trajectory during the movement, preventing deviation; finally, the reduced contact area between the rib 17 and the inner wall of the mounting base 7 reduces the risk of wear and extends the service life of the switch.

[0042] In actual operation, when the handle 12 is pressed, the middle part of the handle 12 acts on the upper end of the pressing element 8, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 9 and causing the pressing element 8 to move downward. At this time, the inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10 guides the button 6 of the control switch 4 to be pressed, changing the switch state. During this process, the rib 17 always maintains sliding contact with the inner wall of the mounting base 7, ensuring that the pressing element 8 moves downward smoothly. When the handle 12 is released, the spring 9 quickly springs the pressing element 8 back to its original position, the protrusion 10 moves away from the button 6, and the switch resets. Throughout the process, the structure of the rib 17 effectively reduces movement resistance and improves the operating feel.

[0043] The clutch switch of this embodiment is particularly suitable for clutch control systems in motorcycles and electric vehicles. The introduction of the raised rib 17 structure significantly improves the problems of jamming and wear found in traditional clutch switches. By optimizing the contact method, not only is the smoothness of switch operation improved, but the durability of the product is also enhanced. In practical applications, this design ensures that the clutch switch can operate reliably under various operating conditions, meeting the high requirements of vehicles for control components.

[0044] Example 5:

[0045] In this embodiment, the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure to achieve stable assembly. The bottom edge of the upper housing 2 has multiple spaced-apart insert plates 19, each with a rectangular sheet structure, evenly arranged around the circumference of the upper housing 2. The top of the lower housing 3 has corresponding slots 20 that match the insert plates 19; these slots are open grooves that penetrate the sidewall of the lower housing 3. During assembly, the insert plates 19 of the upper housing 2 are inserted vertically into the slots 20 of the lower housing 3, forming a tight connection through the interference fit between the insert plates 19 and the slots 20.

[0046] The mating structure of the insert plate 19 and the slot 20 has a dual positioning function. After the insert plate 19 is inserted into the slot 20, it is constrained in the horizontal direction by the side wall of the slot 20, preventing lateral displacement between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3. In the vertical direction, the contact surface between the top of the insert plate 19 and the top of the slot 20 forms a support, preventing the upper housing 2 from loosening downwards. This bidirectional limiting design effectively improves the stability of the housing assembly, ensuring that it will not loosen under vehicle driving vibration.

[0047] The snap-fit ​​connection structure also includes an auxiliary locking mechanism. The upper housing 2 has a barb structure at the end of the insert plate 19, and the lower housing 3 has a corresponding locking platform inside the slot 20. When the insert plate 19 is fully inserted into the slot 20, the barb and the locking platform engage, forming a mechanical interlock. This locking structure prevents the insert plate 19 from accidentally coming out, further enhancing connection reliability. Simultaneously, the barb design facilitates releasing the lock using a special tool during disassembly.

[0048] A sealing structure is provided at the connection between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3. An annular sealing groove is provided on the mating surface of the insert plate 19 and the slot 20, and an elastic sealing ring is embedded inside. After the housing is assembled, the sealing ring is compressed between the insert plate 19 and the slot 20, forming a waterproof and dustproof barrier. This sealing design can effectively prevent external moisture and dust from entering the switch, protecting the normal operation of the control switch 4.

[0049] The mating structure of the insert plate 19 and the slot 20 adopts an asymmetrical distribution design. The insert plates 19 arranged circumferentially on the upper housing 2 differ in size and position, and the slots 20 on the lower housing 3 are correspondingly matched. This asymmetrical layout ensures that the housing can only be assembled in one correct orientation, preventing functional abnormalities caused by incorrect assembly. At the same time, the specially distributed insert plates 19 provide more balanced connection strength.

[0050] The insert plate 19 of the snap-fit ​​connection structure is made of an elastic material and has a certain degree of deformation capability. During assembly, the insert plate 19 can undergo moderate elastic deformation to adapt to the dimensional tolerances of the slot 20, ensuring smooth assembly. At the same time, the elastic restoring force keeps the insert plate 19 and the slot 20 in close contact, eliminating gaps and preventing abnormal noise caused by vibration.

[0051] The slot 20 has a guide ramp 11 inside, and the end of the insert plate 19 is designed with a tapered structure. This guide design facilitates the accurate insertion of the insert plate 19 into the slot 20, reducing assembly difficulty. The guide ramp 11 can also automatically correct positional deviations during the insertion of the insert plate 19, ensuring that each insert plate 19 is in place synchronously, improving assembly efficiency and consistency.

[0052] Visual alignment marks are provided at the snap-fit ​​connection between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3. Alignment indicator lines are marked on the outer side of the insert plate 19 of the upper housing 2 and the outer side of the slot 20 of the lower housing 3, allowing for visual confirmation of the correct alignment between the insert plate 19 and the slot 20 during assembly. This design simplifies the assembly process and is particularly suitable for rapid assembly operations on production lines.

[0053] Example 6:

[0054] In this embodiment, the connecting part 13 is provided with a insertion hole 21, and the upper housing 2 is provided with a insertion post 22. The insertion post 22 is fixedly inserted into the insertion hole 21. The insertion hole 21 is a through hole penetrating the connecting part 13, and its inner wall is provided with a guide groove. The outer periphery of the insertion post 22 is provided with a guide rib that cooperates with the guide groove. When the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are assembled, the insertion post 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 21 along the guide groove. The cooperation between the guide rib and the guide groove ensures accurate alignment during the insertion process. The end of the insertion post 22 is provided with a chamfered structure to facilitate guidance during initial insertion. After the insertion post 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 21, the end of the insertion post 22 is melted through a hot-melt process to form a limiting protrusion, so that the insertion post 22 and the insertion hole 21 form a non-removable fixed connection. This connection method not only improves the connection strength between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3, but also effectively prevents the housing from loosening under vibration.

[0055] The insertion post 22 and insertion hole 21 are designed with an interference fit. The outer diameter of the insertion post 22 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 21, resulting in a certain amount of interference during assembly. This interference fit eliminates assembly gaps between the housings, improves the sealing performance of the connection part 13, and prevents external contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering the switch. An annular groove is provided in the center of the insertion post 22, within which a sealing ring is embedded, further enhancing the sealing effect of the connection part 13. The sealing ring is made of an elastic material, which is compressed and deformed during insertion, generating continuous elastic pressure to ensure reliable sealing.

[0056] The inner wall of the insertion hole 21 is provided with multiple evenly distributed limiting protrusions, and the outer surface of the insertion post 22 is provided with limiting recesses corresponding to the limiting protrusions. During the insertion process, when the insertion post 22 is inserted into the correct position, the limiting protrusions will engage with the limiting recesses, producing a clear sense of proper assembly and providing an additional mechanical locking function. This structural design can effectively prevent axial movement of the insertion post 22 during long-term use, ensuring the long-term stability of the connection. The cooperation between the limiting protrusions and limiting recesses can also absorb some vibration energy, reducing stress concentration at the connection point 13.

[0057] The plug-in post 22 features a hollow structure with internal reinforcing ribs, reducing weight while ensuring structural strength. The uniform wall thickness of the plug-in post 22 prevents stress concentration caused by uneven wall thickness. The inner wall of the plug-in hole 21 has positioning grooves that mate with the internal reinforcing ribs of the plug-in post 22, further improving assembly accuracy. The hollow structure of the plug-in post 22 also facilitates the implementation of the hot-melt process, allowing the molten material to flow uniformly and form a stable limiting structure. This design ensures connection strength while optimizing the manufacturing process.

[0058] The plug-in post 22 and the upper housing 2 are manufactured using an integral molding process, ensuring the integrity and strength of the structure. The opening of the plug-in hole 21 is provided with an guide slope 11 to facilitate the initial alignment of the plug-in post 22. The connecting part 13 has reinforcing ribs around the plug-in hole 21 to improve the local rigidity of the connecting part 13. After the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 are connected by the plug-in structure, the entire outer shell 1 forms a stable rigid frame, effectively resisting external impacts and vibrations. This connection method is particularly suitable for applications in vibrating environments such as motorcycles and electric vehicles, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the internal components of the switch.

[0059] Example 7:

[0060] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 consists of an upper casing 2 and a lower casing 3. A control switch 4 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. The control switch 4 has terminals 5 and a button 6. The lower casing 3 has a mounting base 7, on which a pressing member 8 is movably mounted. The pressing member 8 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 7 via a spring 9. The pressing member 8 has a protrusion 10 with a bevel 11. A handle 12 is movably mounted on the outer casing 1. The lower casing 3 extends to have a connecting portion 13 with mounting holes 14. The control switch 4 has symmetrically arranged fixing holes 23. The lower casing 3 has fixing posts 24 corresponding to the fixing holes 23, which are fixedly inserted into the fixing holes 23.

[0061] The clutch switch works as follows: When the handle 12 is pressed, the handle of the handle 12 swings and presses down, with the middle part of the handle acting on the pressing member 8. During the pressing process of the pressing member 8, the inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10 guides the protrusion 10 to press against the button 6 of the control switch 4, thereby changing the working state of the control switch 4. When the handle 12 is released, the elastic force of the spring 9 quickly returns the pressing member 8 to its original position, causing the protrusion 10 to move away from the button 6, and the button 6 is reset. Through the coordinated operation of the handle 12, the pressing member 8, and the spring 9, stable control of the state of the control switch 4 is achieved.

[0062] The control switch 4 is fixed to the fixing post 24 of the lower housing 3 by inserting it into the fixing hole 23. This symmetrical fixing structure significantly improves the installation stability of the control switch 4 inside the housing 1. When the protrusion 10 of the pressing member 8 presses the button 6, the control switch 4 will not shift or loosen, ensuring the reliability of the clutch switch during long-term use. The insertion and engagement of the fixing post 24 and the fixing hole 23 not only facilitates assembly but also effectively prevents the control switch 4 from loosening in a vibration environment.

[0063] This clutch switch solves the problems of loosening and poor contact in existing technologies by optimizing the fixing method of the control switch 4. The plug-in structure of the fixing post 24 and the fixing hole 23 makes the position of the control switch 4 more stable within the housing 1, maintaining a stable electrical connection even under vibrations generated during the operation of a motorcycle or electric vehicle. This structural design significantly improves the service life and reliability of the clutch switch and reduces vehicle safety hazards caused by switch failure.

[0064] The mounting hole 14 on the connecting part 13 facilitates the fixing of the entire clutch switch to a suitable position on the motorcycle or electric vehicle, achieving reliable connection with other vehicle systems. The movable connection between the mounting base 7 and the pressing part 8, combined with the elastic return function of the spring 9, ensures that the switch accurately resets after each pressing operation, providing stable clutch control for the vehicle. This clutch switch has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is reliable in operation, making it suitable for clutch control systems of various motorcycles and electric vehicles.

[0065] Example 8:

[0066] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 consists of an upper casing 2 and a lower casing 3. A control switch 4 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. The control switch 4 has terminals 5 and a button 6. The lower casing 3 has a mounting base 7, on which a pressing member 8 is movably mounted. The pressing member 8 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 7 via a spring 9. The pressing member 8 has a protrusion 10 with a bevel 11. A handle 12 is movably mounted on the outer casing 1. The handle 12 has a raised section 25, which interacts with moving parts on the motorcycle / electric scooter, such as a brake lever or gear shift button. The lower casing 3 extends to provide a connecting portion 13 with a mounting hole 14 for fixing the clutch switch to the motorcycle / electric scooter.

[0067] When the clutch function of the motorcycle / electric scooter needs to be operated, moving parts such as the brake lever or shift button will contact the arched section 25 of the handle 12. The design of the arched section 25 allows the handle 12 to better withstand the pressure from the moving parts and evenly transmit the pressure to other parts of the handle 12. After being subjected to pressure, the handle 12 oscillates, with its middle part acting on the pressing member 8. The inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10 of the pressing member 8 is displaced under the action of the handle 12, and the protrusion 10 presses against the button 6 of the control switch 4, causing the state of the control switch 4 to change, thereby switching the clutch function.

[0068] The curved section 25 increases the contact area and stability between the button 12 and the moving part, avoiding instability in the control signal caused by poor contact. Simultaneously, the arc design of the curved section 25 adapts to different movement trajectories of the moving part, ensuring reliable pressure transmission at various operating angles. After operation, the moving part leaves the curved section 25 of the button 12, the spring force of the spring 9 quickly returns the pressing part 8 to its original position, the protrusion 10 moves away from the button 6, the button 6 resets, and the control switch 4 returns to its initial state.

[0069] This clutch switch achieves stable and reliable operation through the cooperation of the raised section 25 of the handle 12 with the moving parts. The raised section 25 not only facilitates pressing the handle 12 but also effectively disperses pressure, reduces wear on the handle 12, and extends the service life of the clutch switch. Throughout the operation, the state change of the control switch 4 is smooth, avoiding poor contact or misoperation, and improving the safety and reliability of motorcycles and electric vehicles.

[0070] Example 9:

[0071] The handle 12 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel, which has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The handle 12 is located at the movable mounting part of the housing 1 and is pivotally connected to achieve a swinging motion. The stainless steel material gives the handle 12 sufficient rigidity, making it resistant to deformation during long-term, frequent pressing operations and maintaining stable mechanical properties. The handle 12 extends to the outside of the housing 1 for easy user operation, and its contact area with the pressing element 8 is precision-machined to ensure a smooth and flat contact surface with the protrusion 10 of the pressing element 8.

[0072] The stainless steel material of the push handle 12 allows it to adapt to the complex working environment of motorcycles and electric vehicles. In humid, dusty, or chemically corrosive environments, the passivation film formed on the stainless steel surface effectively prevents rust, maintaining the smoothness and mechanical properties of the push handle 12 surface. The rigid design of the push handle 12 ensures that it maintains its shape stability even under heavy pressing pressure, preventing plastic deformation due to long-term use and ensuring that each pressing action is accurately transmitted to the pressing component 8.

[0073] The button 12 is ergonomically designed, with its exposed portion shaped and sized for easy user operation. The stainless steel material undergoes a surface treatment that maintains its metallic feel while providing an appropriate coefficient of friction to prevent slippage during operation. The swing angle of the button 12 is precisely calculated to ensure that the control switch 4 is fully triggered within its effective stroke, while avoiding excessive pressure that could damage the mechanism.

[0074] During assembly, the clearance between the stainless steel button 12 and other plastic parts is strictly controlled. Because the coefficient of thermal expansion of stainless steel differs from that of the plastic housing, an appropriate thermal expansion clearance is pre-designed to ensure normal operation under different temperature conditions. The pivot position 16 of the button 12 features a wear-resistant design, coupled with lubrication measures, to ensure smooth operation during long-term use.

[0075] The stainless steel material of button 12 also has good electrical conductivity. In applications requiring anti-static design, static electricity can be effectively conducted away through grounding measures to avoid interference with internal electronic components. The surface of button 12 can be treated with various processes, such as brushing, polishing, or sandblasting, which not only meet functional requirements but also enhance the product's appearance and texture.

[0076] When the user operates the button 12, the rigidity of the stainless steel material ensures that the pressing force is accurately and efficiently transmitted to the pressing element 8. The reset action of the button 12 is achieved by the spring 9 below the pressing element 8, and the stainless steel material will not adversely affect the reset force of the spring 9. Throughout the entire operation, the button 12 maintains stable mechanical properties and will not exhibit the creep or aging phenomena commonly seen in plastic materials.

[0077] The mating area between the push handle 12 and the housing 1 is equipped with a suitable sealing structure to prevent dust and moisture from entering the switch. The weather resistance of the stainless steel material allows it to maintain its sealing effect for a long time without failure due to material aging. This design significantly improves the reliability of the clutch switch in harsh environments.

[0078] Example 10:

[0079] In this embodiment, the lower housing 3 has a connecting post 26 at its bottom. The connecting post 26 mates with the mounting hole 14 of the connecting part 13 to achieve stable fixation of the clutch switch on the motorcycle battery. The connecting post 26 has a cylindrical structure, and its diameter matches the inner diameter of the mounting hole 14 to ensure a tight fit during assembly. The connecting post 26 extends vertically from the bottom of the lower housing 3, and its length is designed according to the thickness of the installation location to ensure sufficient connection strength. During installation, the connecting post 26 passes through the mounting hole on the motorcycle battery, aligns with the mounting hole 14 of the connecting part 13, and is then fixed with fasteners. This connection method effectively prevents the clutch switch from loosening or shifting during use, improving the overall structural stability.

[0080] The connecting posts 26 are optimally positioned, typically symmetrically on the lower housing 3, to maintain balanced stress. The number of connecting posts 26 is configured according to the size of the clutch switch and installation requirements, commonly two or four. The connecting posts 26 and the lower housing 3 are manufactured using a one-piece molding process, ensuring the strength and durability of the connection part 13. During assembly, alignment of the connecting posts 26 with the mounting holes 14 enables quick positioning, simplifying the installation process. A guide bevel 11 can be provided at the end of the connecting post 26 to facilitate insertion into the mounting holes 14, improving assembly efficiency.

[0081] The connection between the connecting post 26 and the mounting hole 14 adopts a clearance fit, which ensures smooth assembly while preventing loosening due to excessive clearance. The surface of the connecting post 26 can be provided with anti-slip textures or grooves to increase friction with fasteners and prevent loosening caused by long-term vibration. The material selection for the connecting post 26 considers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength to meet the usage requirements of motorcycles and electric vehicles in various environments. The diameter and length of the connecting post 26 are optimized according to the size of the clutch switch and the installation space to ensure reliable fixing within a limited space.

[0082] The structural design of the connecting post 26 also considers ease of maintenance, allowing for convenient loosening of fasteners and quick replacement of the clutch switch when disassembly is required. The connection portion 13 between the connecting post 26 and the lower housing 3 features a reinforcing rib design to improve bending resistance. The placement of the connecting post 26 avoids the installation space of internal components, ensuring that it does not affect the normal operation of the control switch 4. A limiting flange can be provided at the end of the connecting post 26 to prevent excessive tightening of fasteners that could cause housing deformation. The axis of the connecting post 26 is parallel to the axis of the mounting hole 14, ensuring alignment during assembly.

[0083] The connecting post 26 allows the clutch switch to adapt to the installation requirements of different models of motorcycles and electric vehicles. Compatible installation can be achieved by adjusting the length or diameter of the connecting post 26. The fit between the connecting post 26 and the mounting hole 14 has been precisely calculated to ensure that vibrations generated during vehicle operation will not affect the stability of the clutch switch. The arrangement of the connecting post 26 also takes into account heat dissipation requirements, avoiding any impact on the heat dissipation performance of internal components. The structural strength of the connecting post 26 has been tested and verified, enabling it to withstand various mechanical loads during vehicle operation.

[0084] The design of the connecting post 26 also considers waterproofing; a sealing ring can be installed at its mating point with the mounting hole 14 to prevent moisture from entering the switch. The surface of the connecting post 26 is treated with rust prevention to improve durability in humid environments. The installation direction of the connecting post 26 is coordinated with the operating direction of the handle 12 to avoid mutual interference. The fixing method of the connecting post 26 adopts a standardized design, facilitating installation and maintenance using common tools. The optimized structure of the connecting post 26 allows for control of the overall thickness of the clutch switch, meeting the vehicle's requirement for a compact switch.

[0085] Example 11:

[0086] The outer shell 1 of this embodiment is made of polyamide material, which has excellent mechanical strength and weather resistance. The outer shell 1 consists of an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 3, which are tightly fitted together by a snap-fit ​​structure 18. An assembly seat 7 is provided on the inner side of the lower shell 3, which is integrally molded with the lower shell 3. A pressing member 8 is movably installed in the assembly seat 7. The pressing member 8 is made of engineering plastic, and its bottom is elastically connected to the bottom of the assembly seat 7 by a compression spring 9. The top of the pressing member 8 is provided with a protrusion 10, which has a specific inclined surface 11 structure design.

[0087] A handle 12 is movably mounted on the front of the outer casing 1. The handle 12 is connected to the outer casing 1 via a pivot, allowing it to swing at a certain angle. The lower casing 3 extends to form a connecting part 13, which has a mounting hole 14 for fixing the entire clutch switch to a designated position on a motorcycle or electric vehicle. A control switch 4 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. The control switch 4 has a terminal 5 and a button 6. The terminal 5 is used to connect to the circuit system, and the button 6 is used to switch the state of the control switch 4.

[0088] When the user presses the handle 12, the handle 12 swings downward around the pivot, and its central position contacts the pressing member 8 and applies pressure. Under the pressure, the pressing member 8 moves downward against the elastic force of the spring 9, and the inclined surface 11 of its protrusion 10 contacts the button 6 and produces a sliding action. As the pressing member 8 continues to move downward, the protrusion 10 gradually presses the button 6 into the control switch 4, realizing the change of the switch state. When the external force is removed, the restoring force of the spring 9 pushes the pressing member 8 to quickly return to its original position, and the protrusion 10 disengages from the button 6, so that the button 6 returns to its initial position under its own elastic action, and the switch state is reset accordingly.

[0089] The polyamide housing 1 not only possesses excellent mechanical properties but also effectively resists vibration, impact, and temperature changes in the operating environment of motorcycles and electric vehicles. The mating structure between the pressing element 8 and the mounting base 7 ensures smooth operation, while the inclined surface 11 of the protrusion 10 allows for gradual pressure application to the button 6, avoiding instantaneous impact. The elastic coefficient of the spring 9 is precisely calculated to ensure sufficient restoring force without causing operational difficulties. The overall design of the clutch switch fully considers reliability and durability during use, effectively solving problems such as poor contact, short circuits, or malfunctions in traditional switches.
