A combination switch with a novel push rod structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses a combination switch employing a novel push rod structure, comprising a base, a gear shift module within the base, and a handle component that cooperates with the gear shift module. The gear shift module is fixedly mounted on the base, and a connecting kit is fitted onto the handle component, allowing for movable connection between the connecting kit and the base. The handle component is suspended above the gear shift module via the connecting kit. A cavity is formed at the lower end of the handle component, and a gear shift push rod is slidably positioned within this cavity. A spring is housed within the cavity, with one end of the spring contacting the handle component and the other end contacting the gear shift push rod. This utility model effectively avoids a certain degree of resistance and jerking during gear shifting, thereby achieving a noise reduction effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a combination switch, and more particularly to a combination switch employing a novel top rod structure. 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 exhibit a certain degree of resistance and jerking during gear shifting, along with some noise. Therefore, we propose a combination switch employing a novel lever structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a combination switch with a novel top rod structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a combination switch with a novel top rod structure, comprising a base, a gear shift module and a handle for use with the gear shift module, the gear shift module being fixedly disposed on the base, a connecting kit being sleeved on the handle, the connecting kit being movably connected to the base, the handle being suspended above the gear shift module via the connecting kit, a cavity being opened at the lower end of the handle, a gear shift top rod being slidably disposed at the cavity of the handle, a spring being disposed within the cavity, one end of the spring abutting against the handle, and the other end of the spring abutting against the gear shift top rod.

[0005] To further elaborate, one end of the gear shift rod has a countersunk hole that contacts the spring, and the other end of the gear shift rod has a conical head that slides in contact with the track of the gear shift module.

[0006] To elaborate further, the gear shift lever is provided with several longitudinal ribs, which abut against the inner wall of the cavity of the handle.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a seat cover that mates with the base, and the gear shift module and the connecting kit are encapsulated within an inner cavity formed by the base and the seat cover.

[0008] To elaborate further, the connecting kit has a first shaft hole on one side, and the base has a positioning shaft that mates with the first shaft hole of the connecting kit.

[0009] To elaborate further, the other side of the connecting kit is provided with a hinge shaft portion, and the seat cover is provided with a second shaft hole that mates with the hinge shaft portion of the connecting kit.

[0010] To elaborate further, the base and the cover are connected by screws.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structural design that combines a handle, a connecting kit, a gear shift lever, and a spring. During the gear shifting process, the handle drives the gear shift lever to move along the track of the gear shift module. The handle automatically adjusts the position of the gear shift lever through the spring, thereby effectively avoiding a certain sense of resistance and jerking during the gear shifting process, and thus achieving the technical effect of reducing noise.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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.

[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3As shown, a combination switch with a novel push rod structure includes a base 10, a stop module 30 and a handle 40 that cooperates with the stop module 30, and the stop module 30 is fixedly installed at the base 10. The installation method of the stop module 30 at the base 10 is shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, a connecting kit 50 is fitted onto the handle 40, and the connecting kit 50 is movably connected to the base 10. The handle 40 is suspended above the gear shift module 30 via the connecting kit 50. A cavity 41 is opened at the lower end of the handle 40, and the gear shift push rod 60 is slidably disposed at the cavity 41 of the handle 40. When the handle 40 is rotated, the handle 40 drives the gear shift push rod 60 to slide within the gear shift module 30.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, a spring 70 is provided inside the cavity 41 of the handle 40. One end of the spring 70 abuts against the handle 40, and the other end of the spring 70 abuts against the gear shift lever 60. (See attached diagram) Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, one end of the gear shift lever 60 has a countersunk hole 61 that contacts the spring 70, and the other end of the gear shift lever 60 has a conical head 62, which slides in contact with the track 31 of the gear shift module 30. The specific installation steps for the handle 40, connecting kit 50, spring 70, and gear shift lever 60 are detailed in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 3 As shown, the track 31 of the gear shift module 30 is specifically V-shaped, with a lower center and higher sides. Specifically, the gear shift top rod 60 is provided with several longitudinal ribs 63, which abut against the inner wall of the cavity 41 of the handle 40.

[0024] As attached Figure 4 As shown, when a horizontal leftward thrust F is applied to the handle 40, the upper end of the handle 40 deflects to the left and the lower end of the handle 40 deflects to the right. The lower end of the handle 40 drives the gear shift lever 60, and the cone head 62 of the gear shift lever 60 moves from the middle of the track 31 of the gear shift module 30 to the upper right. During this process, the spring 70 in the cavity 41 of the handle 40 undergoes elastic deformation due to the compression of the gear shift lever 60.

[0025] This utility model adopts a structural design combining a handle 40, a connecting kit 50, a gear shift lever 60, and a spring 70. During gear shifting, the handle 40 drives the gear shift lever 60 to move along the track 31 of the gear shift module 30. The handle 40 automatically adjusts the position of the gear shift lever 60 through the spring 70, thereby effectively avoiding a certain sense of resistance and jerking during gear shifting, and thus achieving the technical effect of reducing noise.

[0026] This utility model also includes a seat cover 20 that mates with the base 10, and the stop module 30 and connecting kit 50 are encapsulated within the cavity formed by the base 10 and the seat cover 20. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the connecting kit 50 has a first shaft hole 51 on one side, and the base 10 has a positioning shaft portion 11 that mates with the first shaft hole 51 of the connecting kit 50. The connecting kit 50 has a hinge shaft portion 52 on the other side, and the cover 20 has a second shaft hole 21 that mates with the hinge shaft portion 52 of the connecting kit 50. When installing the connecting kit 50 in the mounting base 10, the positioning shaft portion 11 of the connecting kit 50 first engages with the first shaft hole 51 of the connecting kit 50, and then the cover 20 is installed, with the second shaft hole 21 of the cover 20 engaging with the hinge shaft portion 52 of the connecting kit 50. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the base 10 and the cover 20 are connected by screws.
