Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric two-wheeled vehicle switch technology, and in particular to a rocker switch structure for electric two-wheeled vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicles typically have switch assemblies on the handlebars on both sides. These assemblies are connected to the circuitry to enable multiple control functions, such as horn warning, speed adjustment, power switch, and headlight / high beam adjustment.

[0003] However, as consumers demand more and more functions from electric vehicles, the number of functions that need to be implemented on electric vehicles is also increasing, which leads to an increase in the number of switches that operate these functions. Currently, most switches on the market control only one function, resulting in a single control method. This leads to a large number of switches used on the handlebars. Furthermore, existing switches are usually installed using a pin-type mechanism, which results in low switch strength, poor durability, and easy damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a rocker switch structure for electric two-wheeled vehicles. By setting a rocker switch, multiple functional requirements can be met, and multiple switches are not required, saving space on the handlebars.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A rocker switch structure for an electric two-wheeled vehicle includes a housing, a PCB board, a pressing component, and a rocker arm. The PCB board is located inside the housing and has several switches. The end of the rocker arm is located inside the housing and rotates in cooperation with the pressing component. The rocker arm can rotate along the X-axis and Y-axis of the housing and slide along the Z-axis of the housing to trigger the switches on the PCB board to achieve different functions.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the joystick moves in different directions, it applies pressure to the switch on the PCB board from different directions, causing the switch to make corresponding functional feedback, thereby realizing the control of different functions. By integrating multiple functions on the joystick, multiple functions can be controlled through the joystick. The number of buttons is reduced, which can effectively save space on the electric vehicle handlebar, facilitate operation, and reduce the occurrence of misoperation.

[0007] Further features of this invention: The outer shell is provided with a support plate, which is located between the PCB board and the pressing component. The support plate is provided with a first through hole and several through slots located around the first through hole. The PCB board is provided with the aforementioned switch corresponding to the first through hole and each through slot. The pressing component is a semi-circular cover, which is provided with a second through hole and several pressing blocks. The first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially arranged. The rocker arm is movably located within the two through holes, and each pressing block is located within its corresponding through slot. The switch on the PCB board is triggered by the rocker arm. An arcuate protrusion extending towards the first through hole is provided between two adjacent through slots. Each arcuate protrusion is located inside the cover and contacts the inner surface of the cover.

[0008] With the above-mentioned further configuration, when the rocker moves along the X-axis or Y-axis of the outer shell, the cover rotates relative to the support plate due to the cooperation between the arc protrusion and the cover, thereby pressing and triggering the switch on the circuit board. The switch can also be triggered when the rocker slides along the Z-axis, realizing five-way triggering. One switch can realize multiple functions, and the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is as follows: a waterproof cover is provided inside the outer casing between the PCB board and the support plate. The waterproof cover has elastic protrusions corresponding to each switch position. Each pressing block passes through the corresponding through groove and abuts against the elastic protrusion. The end of the rocker arm abuts against the corresponding elastic protrusion.

[0010] With the above-mentioned further design, a waterproof cover is placed over the PCB board to protect it, providing good waterproof performance. The elastic protrusion can reset the pressing component.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the rocker switch assembly also includes a dust cover. The upper surface of the housing has a raised portion with an arc-shaped outer circumference. The dust cover is placed over the outer circumference of the raised portion. The dust cover rotates synchronously with the rocker and slides relative to it axially.

[0012] The above-mentioned further design protects the internal structure of the switch from the intrusion of dust, dirt and other impurities, preventing dust accumulation from causing the switch to jam or have poor contact, and also provides a waterproof effect.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the dust cover has a third through hole for the rocker arm to pass through, and a connecting block extending toward the rocker arm is provided on the inner wall of the through hole. The rocker arm has a guide groove along its sliding direction, and the connecting block is located in the guide groove.

[0014] With the above-mentioned further design, the dust cover can be rotated when the rocker arm rotates, and it can also serve as a guide when the rocker arm slides, so that the structure is stable when the rocker arm slides. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a rocker switch structure for an electric two-wheeled vehicle is disclosed. The rocker switch structure 3 includes a housing 31, a PCB board 32, a pressing member 33, and a rocker arm 34. The PCB board 32 is disposed inside the housing 31 and has a plurality of switches 321. The end of the rocker arm 34 is located inside the housing 31 and rotatably engages with the pressing member 33. The rocker arm 34 can rotate along the X-axis and Y-axis directions of the housing 31 and slide along the Z-axis direction of the housing 31 to trigger the switches 321 on the PCB board 32 to perform different functions. When the rocker arm 34 moves in different directions, it applies pressure to the switches 321 on the PCB board 32 from different directions, causing the switches under pressure to activate. 321 provides corresponding functional feedback to control different functions. Multiple functions are integrated into the joystick 34, which can control multiple functions. The number of buttons is reduced, which can effectively save space on the electric vehicle handlebar, facilitate operation, reduce the occurrence of misoperation, and provide a better and smoother operating feel compared to the button switch 321. The joystick switch structure is installed on the handlebar through the housing 1. The housing 1 also has other switch components 2, such as horn switch components, start switch components, turn switch components, etc. The joystick 34 includes a fixed shaft 341 and a joystick head 342 that are set separately or as one piece. When set separately, the fixed shaft and the joystick head are plugged in and matched, or other connection methods can be used.

[0022] The housing 31 also includes a support plate 35, which is located between the PCB board 32 and the pressing member 33. The support plate 35 has a first through hole 351 and several through slots 352 located around the first through hole 351. The PCB board 32 has switches 321 corresponding to the first through hole 351 and each through slot 352. The pressing member 33 is a semi-circular cover with a second through hole 331 and several pressing blocks 332. The first through hole 351 and the second through hole 331 are coaxially arranged. The rocker arm 34 is movably located within the two through holes, and each pressing block 332 is located within the corresponding through slot 352. Driven by the switch 321 on the PCB board 32, the switch 321 is triggered. Between two adjacent through slots 352, there is an arc protrusion 353 extending towards the first through hole 351. Each arc protrusion 353 is located inside the cover and contacts the inner side of the cover. When the rocker arm 34 moves along the X-axis or Y-axis of the outer shell 31, the cover rotates relative to the support plate 35 under the action of the rocker arm 34 due to the cooperation between the arc protrusion 353 and the cover, thereby pressing and triggering the switch 321 on the circuit board. The rocker arm 34 can also trigger the switch 321 when it slides along the Z-axis, realizing five-way triggering. One switch 321 can realize multiple functions, and the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0023] A waterproof cover 36 is provided inside the outer casing 31 between the PCB board 32 and the support plate 35. The waterproof cover 36 is made of silicone material. The waterproof cover 36 has elastic protrusions 361 corresponding to the positions of each switch 321. Each pressing block 332 passes through the corresponding through groove 352 and abuts against the elastic protrusion 361. The end of the rocker arm 34 abuts against the corresponding elastic protrusion 361. The end of the rocker arm 34 or the pressing block 332 presses against the elastic protrusion 361, causing it to elastically deform and press against the switch 321 on the PCB board 32. The waterproof cover 36 covers the outside of the PCB board 32, which protects the PCB board 32 and has good waterproof performance. The elastic protrusion 361 can reset the pressing parts.

[0024] The rocker switch structure 3 also includes a dust cover 37. The upper end face of the outer shell 31 is provided with a raised portion 311 with an arc-shaped outer circumference. The dust cover 37 covers the outer circumference of the raised portion 311. The dust cover 37 rotates synchronously with the rocker arm 34 and slides relative to each other axially to protect the internal structure of the switch 321 and prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering, so as to prevent dust accumulation from causing the switch 321 to jam or have poor contact, and at the same time, it can also play a waterproof role. The dust cover 37 is provided with a third through hole 371 for the rocker arm 34 to pass through. The inner side wall of the through hole is provided with a connecting block 372 extending towards the rocker arm 34. The rocker arm 34 is provided with a guide groove 343 along its sliding direction. The connecting block 372 is located in the guide groove 343. It can drive the dust cover 37 to rotate when the rocker arm 34 rotates, and it can also play a guiding sliding role when the rocker arm 34 slides, so that the structure of the rocker arm 34 is stable when it slides.

[0025] The housing 1 contains a main body carrier plate 4. The horn switch assembly includes a function switch 21, a base 22, a bracket 23, and a button 24. The main body carrier plate 4 has a mounting cavity 41, and the function switch 21 is located in the mounting cavity 41. The housing 1 has a mounting channel 11 corresponding to the position of the function switch 21. The bracket 23 is slidably disposed in the mounting channel 11. The base 22 and the button 24 are located inside the bracket 23. The base 22 is located between the function switch 21 and the button 24, and the function switch 21 is triggered by the button 24 pressing against it. The bracket 23 has a limiting member 231 that prevents the bracket 23 from detaching from the housing 1. Pressing the button 24 into the housing 1 drives the bracket 24 to move. The bracket 23 and base 22 slide synchronously. The base 22 presses against and triggers the function switch 21 to realize the horn function. The button 24 and base 22 are installed through the bracket 23, making the switch 321 strong and durable. The limiting member 231 of the bracket 23 is set with a hook. The housing 1 has a boss so that when the bracket 23 returns to its original position, the hook abuts against the boss to prevent the bracket 23 from falling off the housing 1. Of course, other limiting members 231 can also be used, as long as the bracket 23 does not fall off the housing 1 when it returns to its original position. Other switch components 2 can also be set on the housing 1, such as turn switches 321, light switches 321, and start switches 321. The rear side of the main body carrier plate 4 has an injection hole 42 that communicates with the mounting cavity 41. Waterproof glue is injected and wrapped in the injection hole 42 to improve the waterproof performance of the switch 321 assembly.
