Smart surfaces have emerged as a key medium for new automotive HMIs, integrating function button areas with the interior design. They support touch interaction on various surface materials and offer advantages such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and stain resistance. Their application has expanded from the automotive sector to broader scenarios such as two-wheeled vehicles, comprehensively revolutionizing the way consumers interact with their vehicles.
[0003] The button structure of a current intelligent vehicle button has poor assembly stability, and the connections between various components are prone to loosening and wobbling, affecting the pressing feel and service life; the pressing feedback is inaccurate, the trigger button and the pressing component do not match well, and it is easy to accidentally touch or trigger delay; the structure has weak compatibility, low adaptability to the same vehicle model and functional requirements, and the disassembly and maintenance are complicated, increasing production and after-sales costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of poor assembly stability, easy loosening and shaking of the connection between various components, which affects the pressing feel and service life; inaccurate pressing feedback, poor matching between the trigger button and the pressing component, which easily leads to accidental touch and trigger delay; weak structural compatibility, low adaptability to the same vehicle model and functional requirements, and complex disassembly and maintenance, which increases production and after-sales costs. Therefore, a button structure for an intelligent vehicle button is proposed.

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0016] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a button structure for an intelligent vehicle button, including a base 1, a top cover 2 installed on the top of the base 1, a mounting base 4 installed inside the base 1, a support block 5 fixed on the top of the mounting base 4, a button body 6 placed on the top of the support block 5, the top of the button body 6 penetrating through the top cover 2 and located outside the top cover 2, connecting posts 11 fixed at both ends of the button body 6, multiple support plates 12 fixed on the inner bottom wall of the base 1, and slots 13 matching the connecting posts 11 opened in the support plates 12, allowing the connecting posts 11 to rotate within the slots 13, pressing blocks 7 fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the button body 6, and trigger buttons 8 installed on both sides of the top end of the mounting base 4 below the pressing blocks 7.
[0017] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that when the user moves the button body 6 left and right, the button body 6 swings left and right in cooperation with the support plate 12, the locking hole 13 and the connecting column 11. When the button body 6 swings left and right, the pressing blocks 7 at both ends will press the trigger button 8, thereby controlling subsequent operations. The design of the pressing block 7 at the bottom of the button body 6 corresponds to the trigger button 8 of the mounting seat 4 with a precise matching structure. At the same time, the connecting column 11 rotates in the locking hole 13 of the support plate 12 to provide stable guidance and limit for the pressing of the button body 6, realizing the precise correlation between the pressing action and the trigger signal, reducing accidental touches and missed touches, improving the response speed and accuracy of human-machine interaction, and optimizing the operating experience during driving. The modular design, with independent components such as the mounting seat 4, the support block 5 and the button body 6, and the adaptable structure such as the connecting groove 14 and the opening 15, makes it easy to flexibly adjust and assemble according to different vehicle models and functional requirements, enhancing the product's compatibility with diverse vehicle scenarios, reducing the difficulty of customized production, and simplifying the disassembly and assembly process. Faulty parts can be quickly replaced during after-sales maintenance, saving time and labor costs.
[0018] Example 2, as Figure 1-4As shown, multiple locking blocks 16 are fixed at both ends of the outer wall of the top cover 2, and locking grooves 17 matching the locking blocks 16 are opened at both ends of the inner wall of the base 1. Arc-shaped openings 9 are opened on both sides of the top of the button body 6. Arc-shaped blocks 10 matching the arc-shaped openings 9 are opened on the inner top wall of the top cover 2. An opening 15 matching the button body 6 is opened inside the top cover 2. Multiple screw sleeves 3 are installed on the inner bottom wall of the base 1. The mounting base 4 is fixed to the screw sleeves 3 by bolts. A connecting groove 14 matching the support plate 12 is opened inside the mounting base 4.
[0019] The overall effect of embodiment 2 is that the outer wall of the top cover 2, the outer wall of the top cover 2, the inner wall of the base 1, the inner wall of the base 1, the outer wall of the button body 6, the outer wall of the button body 9, the outer wall of the top cover 2, the outer wall of the button body 6, the outer wall of the button body 6, the outer wall of the top cover 2, the button body 4, and the inner wall of the base 1, the button body 4, are fixed by bolts and the inner wall of the base 1, thus constructing a multi-level and multi-part connection and fixing system. This greatly improves the overall structural stability of the button, avoids loosening and displacement of parts during use, ensures consistent pressing feel, extends product lifespan, and reduces the risk of failure caused by structural shaking.
[0020] Working Principle: When in use, the user moves the button body 6 left and right, causing it to swing left and right in conjunction with the support plate 12, locking holes 13, and connecting posts 11. As the button body 6 swings, the pressing blocks 7 at both ends press the trigger button 8, controlling subsequent operations. The outer wall locking block 16 of the top cover 2 engages with the inner wall locking groove 17 of the base 1, and the arc-shaped opening 9 of the button body 6 matches the arc-shaped block 10 of the top cover 2. The mounting base 4 is fixed to the base 1 with bolts and threaded sleeves 3, constructing a multi-level, multi-part connection and fixing system. This significantly improves the overall structural stability of the button, preventing loosening or displacement of components during use, ensuring consistent pressing feel, extending product lifespan, and reducing the risk of malfunctions due to structural vibration. The bottom pressing block 7 of the main body 6 corresponds to the precise matching structure of the trigger button 8 of the mounting base 4. At the same time, the connecting column 11 rotates within the card hole 13 of the support plate 12, providing stable guidance and limit for the pressing of the button body 6, realizing the precise correlation between the pressing action and the trigger signal, reducing accidental touches and missed touches, improving the response speed and accuracy of human-machine interaction, and optimizing the operating experience during driving. It adopts a modular design with independent components such as the mounting base 4, support block 5 and button body 6, and adaptable structures such as the connecting groove 14 and opening 15, which facilitates flexible adjustment and assembly according to different vehicle models and functional requirements, enhances the product's compatibility with diverse in-vehicle scenarios, reduces the difficulty of customized production, and simplifies the disassembly and assembly process. Faulty parts can be quickly replaced during after-sales maintenance, saving time and labor costs.
