Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a rocker door switch. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry undergoes a profound transformation towards intelligence and connectivity, users' functional needs for vehicles have expanded beyond basic transportation to include diversified comfort controls, scenario-based interaction, and personalized customization. Current intelligent vehicles not only need to achieve basic functions such as window operation, rearview mirror folding, and child locks, but also integrate complex functions such as multi-directional seat adjustments (e.g., backrest angle, seat cushion length, lumbar support), ambient lighting color temperature / brightness adjustment in the doors, window defrosting mode switching, and door welcome linkage. The vehicle control system is upgrading from "single-function triggering" to "multi-dimensional scenario-based control."

[0003] However, the existing control schemes for vehicle door interior panels still rely on the traditional model of "fixed functions bound to physical buttons," which has significant limitations: First, the functional coverage is insufficient, supporting only a very limited number of basic operations such as windows, rearview mirrors, and child locks. For functions added to smart cars, such as seat adjustment and ambient lighting control, either an additional independent control area needs to be added to the central control screen or the side of the seat (leading to fragmented operation), or they are simply incompatible, creating a contradiction of "functional requirements and control capabilities being disconnected." Second, the user experience is poor. Traditional physical buttons need to be set up separately for each function, and as functions increase, the number of buttons becomes redundant and the layout becomes cluttered. Users need to spend time identifying the functions corresponding to the buttons, which can easily distract attention, especially while driving, posing a safety hazard. Third, environmental adaptability is poor. Although some models have tried to introduce pure touch screen control, the accuracy of touch screen operation drops significantly when the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rocker door switch that controls some vehicle functions through a five-way rocker with a touch screen, reducing the arrangement of physical buttons and increasing the function selection of the LCD screen in a limited space.

[0005] Preferably, a rocker door switch includes a door body and a main body, the main body being fixedly connected to the door body. The main body includes a rotary screen, a circuit board, and an adjustment bracket. One end of the adjustment bracket is fixedly connected to the door body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the circuit board. One side of the rotary screen is fixedly connected to the circuit board. The rotary screen is offset in multiple directions around the connection point with the circuit board.

[0006] Preferably, a rocker arm is fixed to one side of the circuit board, and the rocker arm is fixedly connected to the rotary screen.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a rocker door switch includes a door body 1 and a main body 2, with the main body 2 fixedly connected to the door body 1. The main body 2 includes a rotary screen 3, a circuit board 4, and an adjustment bracket 5. One end of the adjustment bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the door body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the circuit board 4. One side of the rotary screen 3 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 4. The rotary screen 3 is offset in multiple directions around its connection point with the circuit board 4. Thus, by connecting to the circuit board 4, the rotary screen 3 can be offset in the up, down, left, and right directions, as well as pressed downwards, thereby enabling the selection or switching of different functions. Simultaneously, the angle of both the circuit board 4 and the rotary screen 3 can be adjusted using the adjustment bracket 5, allowing the main body 2 to meet the usage habits of different drivers.

[0016] Optionally, the rotary screen 3 includes an LCD screen 31 and a knob 32, with the knob 32 sleeved on the outside of the LCD screen 31. Thus, the rotary screen 3 is a prior art device, and its outer knob 32 provides stepless rotation adjustment.

[0017] Optionally, the rotary screen 3 has a connection port and a display interface on one side. In this way, the connection port and display interface are adjacent, with the connection port located at the center of the rotary screen 3 for connecting to the circuit board 4. The display interface is used for data connection to the circuit board 4, enabling communication and control with the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0018] Optionally, a flexible sleeve is connected to the bottom of the door body 1 and the knob screen 3, and the flexible sleeve encloses the circuit board 4 and the adjustment bracket 5. In this way, the flexible sleeve can hide the circuit board 4 and the adjustment bracket 5, preventing them from being exposed and affecting the visual experience.

[0019] Optionally, the flexible sheath may be made of materials including but not limited to fleece, leather, etc.

[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rocker arm 41 is fixed to one side of the circuit board 4, and the rocker arm 41 is fixedly connected to the rotary screen 3. In this way, one end of the rocker arm 41 is fixedly connected to the connection port provided on the rotary screen 3. By applying forces in different directions to the rotary screen 3, the rotary screen 3 drives the rocker arm 41 to shift synchronously, thereby realizing different function controls.

[0021] Optionally, a pin connector 43 is fixed on one side of the circuit board 4 for connecting to the vehicle computer.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, a data cable 42 is fixed to one side of the joystick 41, and the data cable 42 is fixedly connected to the rotary screen 3. In this way, the data connection between the circuit board 4 and the rotary screen 3 is completed through the data cable 42, so that the relevant devices can respond in a timely manner when the rotary screen 3 performs a response operation.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment bracket 5 includes a fixed base 51, a connecting plate 52, and a rotating base 53. One end of the connecting plate 52 is hinged to the fixed base 51, and the other end is hinged to the rotating base 53. In this way, through the cooperation of the fixed base 51, the connecting plate 52, and the rotating base 53, the position, orientation, and angle of the knob screen 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the user's own habits, so as to improve the user experience and ease of use.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the edge of the fixing base 51 is fixed with a plurality of card slots 511 facing one side. In this way, the card slots 511 can be used to position and fix the circuit board 4, so that the circuit board 4 can remain stable and is not easy to shift or fall off.

[0025] Optionally, the mounting base 51 is provided with mounting holes 44 that are adapted to the circuit board 4. In this way, secondary fixation can be achieved by screws, clips or other fasteners through the mounting holes 44 that are adapted to the circuit board 4, further improving the connection strength between the mounting base 51 and the circuit board 4.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, a damping shaft 50 is provided at the hinge joint between the connecting plate 52 and the fixed seat 51 and the rotating seat 53. In this way, after the position, orientation and angle of the knob screen 3 are adjusted, the characteristics of the damping shaft 50 can keep the fixed seat 51 and the connecting plate 52 and the connecting plate 52 and the rotating seat 53 fixed, so that the adjustment bracket 5 of the knob screen 3 is not easily displaced during use or when the vehicle is in motion.

[0027] Optionally, the rotating seat 53 is provided with a damping structure.

[0028] Specific implementation steps: 1.

When in the initial main interface, turn the knob left or right or make short toggle movements up, down, left, or right to switch between different functions. A short press confirms the function, and a long press activates the vehicle's voice interaction. 3. When the rotary screen is off, it defaults to window opening and closing adjustment: a short upward flick is for one-touch window raising, a long upward flick is for intermittent window raising, a short downward flick is for one-touch window opening, a long downward flick is for intermittent window opening, a short press is for child lock toggle, and a long press returns to the initial main interface. You can also select window adjustment functions through the rotary knob, and the operation method is the same as the operation method after the screen is off.

[0029] 4. When selecting seat adjustment functions using the rotary screen, moving the joystick up, down, left, and right corresponds to adjusting the seat up, down, forward, and backward, respectively. A long press returns to the initial main interface. 5. When selecting music adjustment functions using the rotary screen, moving the joystick up, down, left, and right corresponds to switching music (moving left and right), adjusting volume (moving up and down), short press to pause or play, and long press to return to the initial main interface. 6. When selecting air conditioning adjustment functions using the rotary knob, moving the joystick up, down, left, and right corresponds to adjusting the air conditioning fan speed (up and down), adjusting the temperature (left and right), short press (fan mode selection), and long press to return to the initial main interface. 7. When selecting vehicle computer functions using the rotary knob, moving the joystick up, down, left, and right corresponds to selecting vehicle functions (moving up and down), adjusting parameters (moving left and right), short press (confirm), and long press (when in the parameter setting interface, a long press returns to the vehicle function selection interface; when in the vehicle's initial main interface, a long press returns to the initial main interface). 8. When selecting the rear entertainment system using the rotary screen, the joystick moves up, down, left, and right to select the rear entertainment position (left and right movements), a short press (confirms and enters the secondary interface), and a long press (returns to the initial interface). When in the secondary interface, moving left and right selects the program, moving up and down adjusts the volume, a short press confirms, and a long press returns to the previous menu.
