Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to switches, and more particularly to a multi-directional operating switch. Background Technology

[0002] Over the past decade, multi-way switches, as a mature technology, have been widely used in the automotive industry. Considering user experience and safety, this technology has consistently been the industry's mainstream choice, integrated with various functional components within automobiles. Automobiles have various control switches such as seat adjustment switches, window adjustment switches, lighting control panels, and reading light adjustment switches. These switches are generally characterized by their simple functionality, requiring only basic circuitry and mechanical structures to meet functional needs. However, most control switches use PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) as control panels, making it difficult to reduce product costs. Furthermore, the size limitations of PCBs lead to numerous issues with product size and assembly. If signal circuits could be made independent of the PCB, using conductive materials to form the signal circuits and integrating them into the housing, it would significantly reduce product design complexity and provide feasibility for cost reduction and space optimization.

[0003] Alternatively, the signal circuit can be separated, allowing the remaining part of the switch to form an independent module. By simply reserving the corresponding printed circuit and screw holes on the PCB or other conductive circuits, the multi-directional switch function can be quickly integrated onto other PCBs, greatly improving the product's flexibility.

[0004] Currently, there are a few multi-directional switches in the automotive market that completely eliminate the PCB and function as independent modules. However, there are many other actuators with different structures, such as simple switches formed by combining microswitches and metal terminals. These switches have a high degree of freedom in terms of size and shape, depending entirely on the space requirements of the components. The metal terminals can be adjusted arbitrarily. However, due to the limited signal transmission of this mechanism and the relatively high cost of the microswitches themselves, they cannot meet cost requirements and are only suitable for certain specific locations, making them difficult to popularize. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-directional operating switch, which makes the form of signal circuit more flexible and can reduce the time and verification costs required for new product design.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-directional operating switch, which includes a housing 2, a rotating mechanism 3, N trigger pads 4, N elastic pads 5, and a conductive structure 6; N is an integer greater than 1.

[0007] The N trigger pads 4 and N elastic pads 5 are all disposed inside the housing 2;

[0008] N vertical guide grooves are formed on the inner side of the housing 2;

[0009] The N trigger pads 4 are assembled one-to-one with the N vertical guide slots and can move up and down along the vertical guide slots;

[0018] The N lower bumps are located directly above the N trigger pads 4 in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0021] When the top of each elastic pad 5 is pressed down, it will deform, causing the conductive medium 51 fixedly disposed on the lower side of the elastic pad 5 with the opening facing downward to move down and contact the corresponding output pin 61 and electrode pin 60 of the conductive structure 6, thereby shorting the corresponding output pin 61 to the electrode pin 60.

[0022] Preferably, N is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6;

[0024] Preferably, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a first rotating mechanism 31 and a second rotating mechanism 32;

[0026] The first rotating mechanism 31 has a front-to-back groove in the middle;

[0027] The second rotating mechanism 32 is rotatably fixed at both ends between the front and rear side walls of the front and rear grooves of the first rotating mechanism 31, and rotates around the front and rear axis.

[0036] The pressing column 34 is assembled together with the operating column 320;

[0037] The middle and lower parts of the pressing post 34 are inserted into the blind hole, the lower part is inserted into the helical spring 33 and the middle part is pressed against the upper end of the helical spring 33;

[0038] In its natural state, the helical spring 33 is compressed and there is a gap between the lower end of the pressing post 34 and the bottom of the blind hole;

[0039] The upper end of the pressing column 34 is used to fix the connecting cover.

[0040] Better

[0041] The blind hole sidewall is formed with an inclined groove that slopes outward from bottom to top;

[0042] The middle part of the pressing column 34 has an elastic barb 341 that protrudes obliquely upward and is adapted to the inclined groove;

[0043] The elastic barb 341 is placed in the inclined groove, so that the pressing column 34, the helical spring 33 and the operating column 320 are assembled together.

[0044] Preferably, the head of the operating column 320 is drum-shaped.

[0045] Preferably, the signal circuit is fixedly mounted on the base plate 8.

[0046] Preferably, the conductive structure 6 is a thin metal plate structure with round holes.

[0047] Preferably, the conductive structure 6 is injection molded and fixed on the base plate 8.

[0048] Preferably, screw holes are formed on the bottom surface of housing 2;

[0049] The signal circuit is printed on the PCB as a printed circuit.

[0050] This utility model's multi-directional operating switch designs the signal circuit switch in a form similar to an on / off circuit. The conductive structure 6 provides electrodes, and a conductive medium 51 is fixed to the lower side of each elastic pad 5. When the conductive medium 51 on the lower side of the elastic pad 5 contacts an output pin 61 of the conductive structure 6 and its adjacent electrode pin 60, the corresponding signal circuit is connected to the operating voltage VDD. The signal circuit of this multi-directional operating switch can be printed on a PCB as a printed circuit, or it can be made into a physical structure with the same function using other conductive materials and fixed to the base plate 8 used to enclose the lower port of the housing 2, making the form of the signal circuit more flexible. In this multi-directional operating switch, the trigger pad 4 transmits the rotational operating force of the rotating mechanism 3, converting it into a vertically downward operating force. This force squeezes the elastic pad 5, causing the signal circuit 9 to be connected to the operating voltage VDD through the corresponding output pin 61 of the conductive structure 6, ensuring that the switch function can be triggered normally. When there is no external force to rotate the rotating mechanism 3, the trigger pad 4 and the elastic pad 5 can form a pre-pressure feedback to the rotating mechanism 3, keeping the rotating mechanism 3 in a taut state and preventing the rotating mechanism 3 from shaking; the elastic pad 5 provides tactile feedback for the entire switch. By replacing the trigger pad 4 and the elastic pad 5, different tactile sensations and strokes can be provided within a certain range, which greatly reduces the time and verification costs required for new product design, improves product iteration speed, and enhances market competitiveness.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] The technical solutions of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] A multi-directional operating switch such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a housing 2, a rotating mechanism 3, N trigger pads 4, N elastic pads 5, and a conductive structure 6; N is an integer greater than 1;

[0062] The N trigger pads 4 and N elastic pads 5 are all disposed inside the housing 2;

[0063] N vertical guide grooves are formed on the inner side of the housing 2;

[0064] The N trigger pads 4 are assembled one-to-one with the N vertical guide slots and can move up and down along the vertical guide slots;

[0065] The N elastic pads 5 are arranged one-to-one on the underside of the N trigger pads 4;

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower side of each elastic pad 5 is a funnel shape with the opening facing downwards, and the conductive medium 51 is fixedly disposed in the funnel shape with the opening facing downwards on the lower side of the elastic pad 5.

[0067] As shown in Figure 3, the conductive structure 6 is provided with electrode pins 60 and N output pins 61, and each output pin 61 is adjacent to an electrode pin 60.

[0068] The electrode pin 60 is used to connect to the external operating voltage VDD;

[0069] The N output pins 61 are used to connect to each signal circuit respectively;

[0070] The N output pins 61 of the conductive structure 6 and the electrode pins 60 next to them are arranged one-to-one on the lower side of the conductive medium 51 on the lower side of the N elastic pads 5 to form N on / off switches.

[0071] The rotating mechanism 3 is rotatably fixed to the housing 2;

[0072] The lower side of the rotating mechanism 3 has N lower protrusions;

[0073] The N lower bumps are located directly above the N trigger pads 4 in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0074] When the rotating mechanism 3 rotates toward one of the lower protrusions, the lower protrusion moves down and presses its corresponding trigger pad 4 to move down along the vertical guide groove inside the housing 2, and the trigger pad 4 moves down and presses the top of its corresponding elastic pad 5 to move down.

[0075] In its natural state, each elastic pad 5 has a gap between the downward-facing horn-shaped inner conductive medium 51 fixedly disposed on the lower side of the elastic pad 5 and the output pin 61 and electrode pin 60 of the conductive structure 6.

[0076] When the top of each elastic pad 5 is pressed down, it will deform, causing the conductive medium 51 fixed on the lower side of the elastic pad 5 with the opening facing downward to move down and contact the corresponding output pin 61 and electrode pin 60 of the conductive structure 6. This will cause the corresponding output pin 61 to be shorted to the electrode pin 60, forming a switch closure. The corresponding signal circuit will be connected to the working voltage VDD through the output pin 61, triggering the corresponding function of the corresponding signal circuit.

[0077] Preferably, N is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0078] Preferably, the elastic pad 5 is a silicone pad.

[0079] The multi-directional operating switch in Embodiment 1 designs the signal circuit switch in a form similar to an on / off circuit. The conductive structure 6 provides electrodes, and a conductive medium 51 is fixed to the lower side of each elastic pad 5. When the conductive medium 51 on the lower side of the elastic pad 5 contacts an output pin 61 of the conductive structure 6 and its adjacent electrode pin 60, the corresponding signal circuit is connected to the operating voltage VDD. With this multi-directional operating switch, the signal circuit can be printed on a PCB as a printed circuit, or it can be made into a physical structure with the same function using other conductive materials. The signal circuit is fixed to the base plate 8 used to enclose the lower port of the housing 2, making the form of the signal circuit more flexible.

[0080] In the multi-directional switch of Embodiment 1, the trigger pad 4 transmits the rotational operating force of the rotating mechanism 3, converting it into a vertically downward operating force. This force compresses the elastic pad 5, causing the signal circuit 9 to connect to the operating voltage VDD through the corresponding output pin 61 of the conductive structure 6, ensuring the switch function can be triggered normally. When no external force causes the rotating mechanism 3 to rotate, the trigger pad 4 and the elastic pad 5 provide pre-pressure feedback to the rotating mechanism 3, keeping it in a taut state and preventing it from shaking. The elastic pad 5 provides tactile feedback for the entire switch. By replacing the trigger pad 4 and the elastic pad 5, different tactile sensations and travels can be provided within a certain range, greatly reducing the time and verification costs required for new product design, increasing product iteration speed, and enhancing market competitiveness.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] Based on the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 1, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a first rotating mechanism 31 and a second rotating mechanism 32;

[0083] The first rotating mechanism 31 is rotatably fixed between the left and right side walls of the housing 2 at both ends, and rotates around the left and right axis;

[0084] The first rotating mechanism 31 has a front-to-back groove in the middle;

[0085] The second rotating mechanism 32 is rotatably fixed at both ends between the front and rear side walls of the front and rear grooves of the first rotating mechanism 31, and rotates around the front and rear axis.

[0086] The first rotating mechanism 31 has a front lower protrusion formed on its front lower side and a rear lower protrusion formed on its rear lower side.

[0087] The second rotating mechanism 32 has a lower left protrusion 321 formed on its lower left side and a lower right protrusion 322 formed on its lower right side.

[0088] N is 4.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] Based on Embodiment 2, the multi-directional operating switch further includes a helical spring 33 and a pressing post 34;

[0091] An upward-facing operating column 320 is formed in the middle of the second rotating mechanism 32;

[0092] The operating column 320 has a blind hole with an opening at the top;

[0093] The helical spring 33 is placed inside the blind hole;

[0094] The lower outer diameter of the pressing column 34 is smaller than the inner diameter of the helical spring 33, while the middle outer diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the helical spring 33.

[0095] The pressing column 34 is assembled together with the operating column 320;

[0096] The middle and lower parts of the pressing post 34 are inserted into the blind hole, the lower part is inserted into the helical spring 33 and the middle part is pressed against the upper end of the helical spring 33;

[0097] In its natural state, the helical spring 33 is compressed and there is a gap between the lower end of the pressing post 34 and the bottom of the blind hole;

[0098] The upper end of the pressing column 34 is used to fix the connecting cover.

[0099] Preferably, the blind hole sidewall is formed with an inclined groove that slopes outward from bottom to top;

[0100] The middle part of the pressing column 34 has an elastic barb 341 that protrudes obliquely upward and is adapted to the inclined groove;

[0101] The elastic barb 341 is placed in the inclined groove, so that the pressing column 34, the helical spring 33 and the operating column 320 are assembled together.

[0102] In the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 3, the rotating mechanism 3, as the main moving component of the touch switch, is directly responsible for transmitting the operating force, providing rotational operating force to the product. When the lower end of the pressing post 34 touches the bottom of the blind hole, the switch moves to the stop position, and the pressing post 34 and the second rotating mechanism 32 collide, providing audible feedback. When the upper end of the operating post 320 is connected to different covers, the pressing post 34 and the coil spring 33 together form a buffer structure, which can more stably transmit the operating force and displacement when the cover moves.

[0103] Example 4

[0104] Based on the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 3, the head of the operating column 320 is drum-shaped.

[0105] The multi-directional operating switch in Embodiment 4 features a drum-shaped head for the operating column 320, which better adapts to different covers and improves the stability of the operating force transmission. By designing different cover docking structures, the operating force and rotation angle of the switch can be further adjusted, expanding the product's application range. When customers require different covers, an assembly structure matching the spherical structure can be designed at the lower end of the cover, enabling the rotating mechanism 3 to adapt to different covers, forming different operating levers, providing different operating forces and strokes, thus meeting the needs of more customers and improving the product's versatility. Simultaneously, the pressing column 34, which is higher than the head of the operating column 320, moves downwards when in contact with the cover assembly structure, causing the helical spring 33 to compress and deform, improving the stability and buffering capacity of the assembled cover. When the cover moves, the spring column can transmit operating force and displacement more stably.

[0106] Example 5

[0107] Based on the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 1, the signal circuit is fixedly mounted on the base plate 8.

[0108] In the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 5, the signal circuit is made of other conductive materials to form a physical structure with the same function and is fixedly embedded in the base plate 8. The base plate 8 replaces the PCB to realize the circuit conduction and signal transmission functions of the signal circuit, removing the space limitation of the PCB, making the product structural design more flexible, allowing the product size to be further compressed, and eliminating the requirement for the position of the terminal interface, which can further reduce the product cost. The shape and interface position can be adjusted more flexibly according to customer needs. At the same time, in the product assembly process, due to the reduction of PCB assembly, the production process can be further simplified and improved, and the impact of the assembly process on the product can be reduced.

[0109] In addition, since the conductive material embedded in the base plate 8 has a large area, it can continue to operate normally while carrying a large current, which further reduces the design difficulty of the control circuit.

[0110] Example 6

[0111] Based on the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 1, the conductive structure 6 adopts a thin metal plate structure with round holes, which increases the contact area between the conductive structure 6 and the conductive medium 51 on the lower side of the elastic pad 5, ensuring the stability of the signal circuit function triggering.

[0112] Preferably, the conductive structure 6 is injection molded and fixed on the base plate 8. The larger contact surface between the conductive structure 6 and the base plate 8 further improves the strength of the base plate 8 and can effectively prevent deformation of the base plate 8.

[0113] Example 7

[0114] Based on the multi-directional operating switch of Embodiment 1, screw holes are formed on the bottom surface of housing 2.

[0115] Preferably, the signal circuit is printed on a PCB as a printed circuit. Since screw holes are pre-drilled on the bottom surface of the housing 2, when a new product needs to add a multi-directional switch function, only the corresponding components and screw holes need to be prepared on the PCB, and the operating switch module can be directly and quickly fixed onto the PCB. Figure 5 As shown, it avoids the design of terminal welding and complex housing structure, while also having no significant difference in function, operating force and feel.

[0116] The multi-directional operating switch in Embodiment 7 adopts a modular design concept. Screw holes are reserved on the bottom surface of the housing 2. All parts except the PCB and the base plate 8 are designed as an independent and complete operating switch module. The base plate 8 can be eliminated and directly combined with other products or PCBs, which greatly improves the flexibility of the product.
