AI Technical Summary
The existing combination switch generates significant noise during gear shifting, affecting the driving experience.
The gear shift module structure is composed of hard and soft rubber molds. When the gear shift lever of the handle assembly slides on the gear shift track, the soft rubber mold absorbs the vibration and noise. The combination of limit block and support rib design ensures stable assembly.
It effectively reduces noise during gear shifting and improves driving comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a combination switch, and more particularly to a combination switch that can reduce shifting noise. Background Technology
[0002] A combination switch is a switching device that integrates multiple electrical control functions into one unit. It typically supports multi-directional movements, such as tossing up and down, and rotation. As an important automotive component, combination switches are commonly used for lighting control (e.g., turn signals, fog lights), wiper control, and adaptive cruise control. The tactile feel of a combination switch directly impacts the driver's experience. Currently, existing combination switches produce significant gear shifting noise during gear changes, affecting the driving experience. Therefore, we propose a combination switch that reduces shifting noise. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a combination switch that can reduce shifting noise.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a combination switch capable of reducing shifting noise, comprising a base, a gear shift module and a handle assembly at the base, the handle assembly being hinged above the gear shift module, the gear shift module comprising a hard rubber module in direct contact with the handle assembly and a soft rubber module for buffering and noise reduction, the hard rubber module being inserted into the soft rubber module, the soft rubber module being disposed between the base and the hard rubber module, the hard rubber module having a gear shift track, the bottom of the handle assembly slidingly contacting the gear shift track of the hard rubber module, and the soft rubber module being snapped into the base.
[0005] To further elaborate, the soft rubber mold is provided with limiting blocks on both the left and right inner walls, and a supporting rib is provided between the two limiting blocks. The supporting rib of the soft rubber mold supports the gear track of the hard rubber mold.
[0006] To elaborate further, the hard plastic mold has horizontal slots on both the left and right sides, and the base has a plug part that mates with the horizontal slots.
[0007] To elaborate further, the transverse slot of the hard plastic mold is provided with a triangular rib.
[0008] To elaborate further, the handle assembly includes a switch handle, a spring member, and a gear shift lever. The two ends of the spring member respectively abut against the switch handle and the gear shift lever, and the gear shift lever is slidably inserted below the switch handle.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structural design of a gear shift module composed of hard rubber mold parts and soft rubber mold parts. The surging motion generated by the gear shift lever of the handle assembly when sliding on the gear shift track is absorbed by the soft rubber mold parts, thereby avoiding the generation of large gear shifting noise during gear shifting and ensuring a comfortable driving experience.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a combination switch capable of reducing shifting noise includes a base 10, a gear shift module 20 and a handle assembly 30 located on the base 10, the handle assembly 30 being hinged above the gear shift module 20, and combined with an attached... Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the gear shift module 20 includes a hard plastic mold 21 that directly contacts the handle assembly 30, and a soft plastic mold 22 for buffering and noise reduction. The hard plastic mold 21 is inserted into the soft plastic mold 22, and the soft plastic mold 22 is located between the base 10 and the hard plastic mold 21. The hard plastic mold 21 has a gear shift track 211, and the bottom of the handle assembly 30 slides in contact with the gear shift track 211 of the hard plastic mold 21. The soft plastic mold 22 is engaged with the base 10.
[0019] Combined with appendix Figure 3 As shown, the handle assembly 30 includes a switch handle 31, a spring member 32, and a gear position lever 33. The two ends of the spring member 32 abut against the switch handle 31 and the gear position lever 33 respectively. The gear position lever 33 is slidably inserted under the switch handle 31.
[0020] Combined with appendix Figure 6 As shown, during use, the lever assembly 30 is deflected to shift gears, and the gear shift lever 33 of the lever assembly 30 slides along the gear shift track 211 of the hard rubber mold 21. Since a soft rubber mold 22 is provided below the hard rubber mold 21, the surging motion generated by the gear shift lever 33 of the lever assembly 30 when sliding on the gear shift track 211 is absorbed by the soft rubber mold 22, thereby avoiding the generation of large gear shifting noise during gear shifting and ensuring a comfortable driving experience.
[0021] When assembling the combination switch, the rigid plastic module 21 and the flexible plastic module 22 must first be assembled into the position module 20. (See attached...) Figure 5 As shown, the soft rubber mold 22 has a limiting block 221 on both the left and right inner walls, and a supporting rib 222 between the two limiting blocks 221. The supporting rib 222 of the soft rubber mold 22 supports the gear track 211 of the hard rubber mold 21.
[0022] After completing the assembly of gear shift module 20, as shown in the attached document... Figure 5 As shown, the gear shift module 20 is then installed onto the base 10. The rigid plastic module 21 has horizontal slots 212 on both sides, and the base 10 has insert portions 11 that mate with the horizontal slots 212. The horizontal slots 212 of the rigid plastic module 21 have triangular ribs 213. During the process of installing the gear shift module 20 into the base 10, the horizontal slots 212 of the gear shift module 20 are inserted along the insert portions 11 of the base 10. When the insert portions 11 are inserted into the horizontal slots 212, the ribs 213 act as a locking mechanism, preventing the gear shift module 20 from subsequently detaching from the base 10.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
