Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and more particularly to control switches and electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, many functions are integrated into the control system of electric vehicles, such as headlight switching, turn signal control, mode selection, and horn.

[0003] In related technologies, control switches have various operating methods, which makes it difficult for users to accurately and efficiently control the on / off state of contacts, easily leading to misoperation and long response times. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a control switch that improves the accuracy and sensitivity of the operation during the on or off process.

[0005] On one hand, this application provides a control switch, which includes a housing, an operating member, a circuit assembly, and a pressing post. The housing encloses a receiving cavity; the operating member is movably disposed in the housing; the circuit assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity and includes control contacts; the pressing post is disposed in the receiving cavity and corresponds to the control contacts; during the movement of the operating member relative to the housing, the operating member can move the pressing post to a first position or a second position in a first direction to make the control contacts open or close; the first direction is perpendicular to the circuit assembly; the distance of the pressing post relative to the control contacts in the first position is less than the distance of the pressing post relative to the control contacts in the second position.

[0006] The control switch provided in this application has a housing forming a cavity, within which a circuit assembly and a pressing post are disposed. An operating member is movably disposed within the housing. When the operating member moves relative to the housing, it enables the pressing post to move to a first position or a second position in a first direction Z, perpendicular to the circuit assembly. This means the pressing post can move to the first or second position in a direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly, thereby turning the control contacts on or off. Since the pressing post corresponds to the control contact, and the distance between the pressing post in the first position and the control contact is less than the distance between the pressing post in the second position and the control contact, the movement of the operating member relative to the housing causes the pressing post to be turned on or off. The column moves in the first direction Z. By changing the distance between the pressing column and the control contact in the first direction Z, the control contact can be turned on or off. This structure can convert the movement of the operating element relative to the housing into the movement of the pressing column in the direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly, reducing the dispersion of force. This allows for precise changes in the distance between the pressing column and the control contact, thus turning the control contact on or off. Because the pressing column is positioned corresponding to the control contact, and because the movement distance perpendicular to the circuit assembly is short, the time it takes for the pressing column to move to the first or second position can be shortened, improving sensitivity. In other words, it can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the operation during the on / off process.

[0007] In one possible implementation of this application, the control switch further includes a bracket assembly, a circuit assembly disposed on the bracket assembly, a guide hole in the area of ​​the bracket assembly corresponding to the control contact, a pressing post passing through the guide hole, and the guide hole extending in a first direction; during the movement of the operating member relative to the housing, the operating member can cause the pressing post to move along the guide hole.

[0010] In one possible implementation of this application, the circuit assembly includes a circuit board and a conductive element. The circuit board is electrically connected to the controller. The conductive element is disposed corresponding to a control contact. A pressing post can move the conductive element relative to the control contact to electrically connect or disconnect the conductive element from the control contact.

[0011] In one possible implementation of this application, the side of the operating member facing the pressing column has a trigger structure. During the movement of the operating member relative to the housing, the pressing column can move along a first direction under the drive of the trigger structure. The first direction is different from the movement direction of the operating member.

[0012] In one possible implementation of this application, the trigger structure includes a protrusion extending along a first direction. Along the movement direction of the operating member, at least one end of the protrusion has a guide surface, and the guide surface forms an acute angle with the movement direction of the operating member.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this application, the control switch further includes a seal having a reset portion located between the conductive member and the pressing post. The conductive member is fixed to the reset portion, and the reset portion is capable of deforming along a first direction to drive the conductive member to move away from the control contact.

[0014] In one possible implementation of this application, the support assembly includes a carrier and a cover plate. The carrier has a receiving groove that matches both the circuit board and the seal. The circuit board and the seal are stacked in the receiving groove. The cover plate covers the opening of the receiving groove to form a sealed cavity. A guide hole is provided in the cover plate.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this application, the seal has a raised ring on the side facing the cover plate, the raised ring surrounds the seal around the edge of the seal, and the raised ring abuts against the cover plate in the covering direction of the cover plate and the carrier, and is in an interference fit; the reset part is located in the area enclosed by the raised ring on the seal.

[0016] In one possible implementation of this application, the sealing member has a first sealing groove on the side facing the circuit board. The first sealing groove surrounds the sealing member around its edge. A filler is disposed in the first sealing groove and is connected to the circuit board. The reset part is located within the area enclosed by the first sealing groove on the sealing member. Alternatively, the sealing member has a stepped structure on the side facing the cover plate.

A filler is disposed in the second sealing groove and is connected to the cover plate. The reset part is located within the area enclosed by the stepped structure on the sealing member.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the control switch further includes an operating element disposed outside the sealed cavity and capable of moving relative to the bracket assembly to drive the conductive element to abut or separate from the control contact.

[0020] In one possible implementation of this application, the control switch further includes a pressing column, which is set corresponding to the control contact. During the movement of the operating member relative to the bracket assembly, the operating member can cause the pressing column to move in a first direction, so that the pressing column drives the conductive member to abut or separate from the control contact.

[0046] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, many functions in the electric vehicle control system are integrated into the operation switch. The operation switch is used to turn the circuit on or off to achieve the corresponding functions, such as headlight switching, turn signal control, mode selection, horn, etc. The operation switch is usually located on the handlebar for easy operation by the user.

[0047] In related technologies, control switches have various operating methods, which makes it difficult for users to accurately and efficiently control the on / off state of contacts, easily leading to misoperation and long response times.

[0048] This application provides a control switch for an electric vehicle, which can be used in any type of electric vehicle controlled by a handlebar. (See also...)

The control switch provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to examples in the accompanying drawings.

[0049] This application provides a control switch, as shown in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The control switch includes a housing 1, an operating element 3, a circuit assembly 2, and a pressing post 7. The housing 1 encloses a receiving cavity. The operating element 3 is movably disposed in the housing 1. The circuit assembly 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity and includes a control contact 211. The pressing post 7 is disposed in the receiving cavity and is disposed corresponding to the control contact 211. During the movement of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1, the operating element 3 can move the pressing post 7 to a first position or a second position in a first direction Z, so that the control contact 211 is turned on or off. The first direction Z is perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2. The distance of the pressing post 7 relative to the control contact 211 in the first position is less than the distance of the pressing post 7 relative to the control contact 211 in the second position.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, the housing 1 includes a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12. The front housing 11 and the rear housing 12 can be assembled by means of snap fasteners 55, screws or welding, and the front housing 11 and the rear housing 12 enclose each other to form a receiving cavity.

[0051] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is mounted to the target device via the mounting structure 13. The mounting structure 13 can be a clamp, a slot 56, or a fastening strap, etc. For example, the mounting structure 13 can be a clamp, which is set on the handlebar, and the control switch is clamped in the clamp to realize that the control switch is set on the handlebar; the mounting structure 13 can also be a slot 56 set on the handlebar, and a corresponding buckle 55 is set on the control switch. The buckle 55 and the slot 56 are engaged to realize that the control switch is set on the handlebar.

[0052] In another example, a first through hole 14 matching the operating element 3 can be provided on the housing 1 so that the operating element 3 can be mounted on the housing 1 through the first through hole 14.

[0053] In this application embodiment, the target device can be an electric bicycle, an electric-assisted bicycle, an electric motorcycle, an electric scooter, an electric tricycle, or a cargo tricycle, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0054] In this embodiment, the operating element 3 is a structure on the control switch used for user interaction. The movement of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1 can be sliding, rotating, pressing, flicking, etc. Based on the different movement modes of the operating element 3, the way the operating element 3 is positioned on the housing 1 varies.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, the circuit component 2 is used to turn on and off the circuit of the control switch. The circuit component 2 may include a circuit board 21, and the control contact 211 can realize the circuit of the circuit board 21 being turned on and off. The circuit component 2 may also include an indicator light for displaying the on, off or indicating switching of the circuit component 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control contact 211 corresponding to the pressing post 7 can be configured such that the central axis of the pressing post 7 is aligned with the center of the control contact 211; in another embodiment, along the first direction Z, the projection of the pressing post 7 and the projection of the control contact 211 at least partially overlap. Thus, when the pressing post 7 moves along the first direction Z to the first position or the second position, the control contact 211 can be turned on or off.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the pressing post 7 is in the first position, the pressing post 7 contacts the control contact 211, making the control contact 211 conductive; when the pressing post 7 is in the second position, the pressing post 7 separates from the control contact 211, making the control contact 211 disconnect.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211 can be directly contacted to enable or disable the control contact 211. For example, in the second position, there is a gap between the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211, and the control contact 211 is in an open state; when the operating member 3 is triggered, the pressing post 7 approaches the control contact 211 under the action of the operating member 3. When the pressing post 7 moves to the first position, the pressing post 7 can contact the control contact 211, making the control contact 211 conductive.

[0059] In another example, the control contact 211 can be turned on or off through indirect contact between the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211. For instance, an elastic element, such as a disc spring or a spring sheet, can be provided between the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211. As the pressing post 7 moves towards the control contact 211 in the first direction Z, the pressing post applies force to the elastic element, causing the elastic element to deform in the first direction Z. When the elastic element reaches a critical value for deformation, the deformation of the elastic element contacts the control contact 211, turning the control contact 211 on. When the pressing post moves away from the control contact 211, the elastic force of the elastic element causes the pressing post to return to the first position, turning off the control contact 211.

[0060] In this embodiment, there is at least one control contact 211. Correspondingly, the number of pressing posts 7 is the same as the number of control contacts 211, and they correspond one-to-one. Each control contact 211 is connected to a different control function. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the pressing posts 7 located at different positions on the housing 1 are moved along the first direction Z according to the different positions of the operating member 3 on the housing 1, thereby turning on or off the corresponding control contact 211. In this way, different control functions can be indicated by controlling the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the pressing column 7 can be made of rigid materials such as metal or hard plastic, thereby reducing bending deformation under the action of the operating member 3.

[0062] In this embodiment, the control contact 211 can be configured to include a printed circuit structure with its two ends adjacent to each other and having a gap. For example, three spaced printed circuit strips can be provided at one end of the printed circuit, and another three spaced printed circuit strips can be provided at the other end of the printed circuit. These six printed circuit strips are arranged in sequence at intervals. The six printed circuit strips at both ends of the printed circuit can be electrically connected by the conductor 22, thereby making the control contact 211 conduct and generating an electrical signal.

[0063] In this embodiment of the control switch, the housing 1 encloses a cavity, and the circuit assembly 2 and the pressing post 7 are disposed within the cavity. An operating member 3 is movably disposed on the housing 1. When the operating member 3 moves relative to the housing 1, it enables the pressing post 7 to move to a first position or a second position in a first direction Z. The first direction Z is perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, meaning the pressing post 7 can move to the first position or the second position in a direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, thereby turning the control contact 211 on or off. Since the pressing post 7 is disposed corresponding to the control contact 211, and the distance of the pressing post 7 relative to the control contact 211 in the first position is less than the distance of the pressing post 7 relative to the control contact 211 in the second position, the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 enables... The pressing column 7 moves in the first direction Z. By changing the distance between the pressing column 7 and the control contact 211 in the first direction Z, the control contact 211 can be turned on or off. This structure can convert the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 into the movement of the pressing column 7 in the direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, reducing the dispersion of force. This allows for precise changes in the distance between the pressing column 7 and the control contact 211, thus turning the control contact 211 on or off. Since the pressing column 7 is positioned corresponding to the control contact 211, and the movement distance perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2 is short, the time it takes for the pressing column 7 to move to the first or second position can be shortened, improving sensitivity. In other words, it can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the operation during the on / off process.

[0064] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control switch also includes a bracket assembly 5, a circuit assembly 2 is disposed on the bracket assembly 5, the area of ​​the bracket assembly 5 corresponding to the control contact 211 has a guide hole 57, the pressing post 7 passes through the guide hole 57, the guide hole 57 extends along the first direction Z; during the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the operating member 3 can make the pressing post 7 move along the guide hole 57.

[0065] In this embodiment, the bracket assembly 5 is disposed in the receiving cavity to provide an installation and positioning base for the structural components in the receiving cavity. The bracket assembly 5 can be integrally formed with the shell 1 or it can be a separate structure installed with the shell 1. The shape and size of the bracket assembly 5 can be adjusted according to the space size in the receiving cavity. The bracket assembly 5 can be made of the same material as the shell 1 or it can be made of a different material than the shell 1. For example, the bracket assembly 5 can be made of metal or engineering plastic.

[0066] In this embodiment, the guide hole 57 is provided in the part of the bracket assembly 5 located between the circuit assembly 2 and the operating member 3. Through the guide hole 57, the pressing post 7 can contact the operating member 3 at one end and move toward the control contact 211 at the other end.

[0067] In this embodiment, the guide hole 57 penetrates the portion of the bracket assembly 5 located between the circuit assembly 2 and the operating member 3, and extends from the bracket assembly 5 toward the operating member 3 along the first direction Z. The size of the guide hole 57 is less than or equal to the axial dimension of the pressing post 7.

[0068] In this embodiment, the guide hole 57 and the pressing post 7 can be fitted with a clearance, that is, there is a small and precise gap between the guide hole 57 and the pressing post 7, so that the pressing post 7 can move along the guide hole 57, while reducing the offset and displacement of the pressing post 7. The gap between the guide hole 57 and the pressing post 7 can be adjusted according to the smoothness and damping force required for the movement of the pressing post 7.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, the control switch, the bracket assembly 5 provides support and a mounting base for the circuit assembly 2, which can reduce the movement of the circuit assembly 2 within the receiving cavity and improve the stability of the circuit assembly 2. Since a guide hole 57 extending in the first direction Z is opened in the area of ​​the bracket assembly 5 corresponding to the control contact 211, and the pressing post 7 passes through the guide hole 57, the radial movement of the pressing post 7 can be constrained and guided by the guide hole 57 when the operating member 3 moves, so that the pressing post 7 always moves along a straight trajectory perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, thereby reducing the skew, shaking or jamming of the pressing post 7 during the movement, and improving the stability of the pressing member in turning the control contact 211 on or off.

[0070] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The end of the pressing column 7 near the operating member 3 includes a guide portion 71, and the side surface of the guide portion 71 facing the operating member 3 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0071] In this embodiment, since the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 can be sliding, rotating or swinging, the direction of the force applied by the operating member 3 to the pressing column 7 is not fixed and unstable. The guide part 71 converts the multi-angle or unstable force applied by the operating member 3 into a stable force along the first direction Z.

[0072] In this embodiment, the arcuate surface of the guide portion 71 can be a semi-circular arcuate surface or an elliptical arcuate surface, and the curvature of the arcuate surface can be adjusted according to different functional requirements and structural features. The guide portion 71 can be made of the same material as the pressing column 7, or the guide portion 71 can be made of a material with a low coefficient of friction, or the arcuate surface can be polished or coated to reduce the roughness of the arcuate surface.

[0073] For example, the operating element 3 can be a rocker switch. Each of the back ends of the rocker is provided with a pushing part, and each pushing part corresponds to a pressing post 7. When the user presses one end of the rocker, the corresponding pushing part contacts the pressing post 7 and causes the pressing post 7 to move in the first direction Z. The pushing part contacts the arc-shaped surface of the guide part 71 and then slides along the arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped surface converts the force of the pushing part into a force in the first direction Z, causing the mounting post eye to move in the first direction Z.

[0074] In this embodiment of the control switch, since a guide portion 71 is provided at the end of the pressing column 7 near the operating member 3, and the side surface of the guide portion 71 facing the operating member 3 is an arc-shaped surface, the multi-angle or unstable force applied by the operating member 3 can be converted into a linear component force along the axial direction (i.e., the first direction Z) of the pressing column 7 through the smooth characteristics of the arc-shaped surface. This reduces the friction during the movement of the pressing column 7 by the operating member 3, reduces the wear of the operating member 3 and the pressing column 7, extends the service life of the control switch, and improves the user's operating feel.

[0075] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The end of the pressing post 7 near the circuit assembly 2 includes a pressing part 72, the radial dimension of which is greater than the radial dimension of the main body of the pressing post 7; the surface of the pressing part 72 facing the circuit assembly 2 is flat.

[0076] In this embodiment, the main body of the pressing post 7 is the remaining portion of the pressing post 7 excluding the pressing part 72 and the guide part 71. In this embodiment, the pressing part 72 is used to press the control contact 211 of the circuit assembly 2, so that the control contact 211 is turned on or off. The pressing part 72 can be a circular disc-shaped structure, disposed on the side of the pressing post 7 close to the circuit assembly 2. The pressing part 72 can also be a trapezoidal or frustum-shaped structure, with the side with the smaller radial dimension connected to the pressing post 7, and the side with the larger radial dimension disposed close to the circuit assembly 2.

[0077] In this embodiment, the pressing part 72 may be made of the same material as the pressing post 7, or the pressing part 72 may be made of a flexible material, or a flexible pad may be provided on the side of the pressing part 72 facing the circuit assembly 2 to reduce wear or damage to the circuit assembly 2 when pressing the circuit assembly 2.

[0078] In this embodiment of the control switch, since the radial dimension of the pressing part 72 is larger than the radial dimension of the main body of the pressing post 7, the contact area between the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211 on the circuit assembly 2 can be increased, dispersing the force of the pressing post 7 pressing the circuit assembly 2, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage to the circuit assembly 2, and extending the service life of the switch. At the same time, since the radial dimension of the pressing part 72 is larger than the radial dimension of the main body of the pressing post 7, the pressing post 7 can be made lighter, reducing the space occupied by the pressing post 7.

[0079] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The circuit assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21 and a conductive element 22. The circuit board 21 can be electrically connected to the controller. The conductive element 22 is provided corresponding to the control contact 211. The pressing post 7 can move the conductive element 22 relative to the control contact 211 so that the conductive element 22 is electrically connected or disconnected from the control contact 211.

[0080] In this embodiment, a circuit board 21 can be disposed in the control switch. The circuit board 21 typically includes a substrate layer, a conductive layer, a functional layer, and auxiliary structures. The substrate layer is typically made of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin or phenolic resin paperboard, providing mechanical support and insulation. The conductive layer is formed by etching copper foil to create a network of wires for electrical connections; the copper foil can be electrolytic copper foil or rolled copper foil. The functional layer includes a solder mask layer, a silkscreen layer, pads, and vias. The solder mask layer is typically a green or blue protective layer covering the surface of the conductive layer, preventing short circuits and oxidation. The silkscreen layer displays component numbers, polarity markings, and assembly information. The pads are used to solder component leads, and the vias enable interlayer connections between the layers of the circuit board 21.

[0081] For example, the circuit board 21 can be fixed in the receiving cavity by fasteners such as screws, or the circuit board 21 can be inserted into the receiving cavity by a slot 56 provided on the shell wall of the housing 1.

[0082] In another example, the structural shape of the circuit board 21 can be determined based on the number of operating elements 3 set in the control switch, the position of each operating element 3 on the housing 1, and the shape of the receiving cavity. For example, the position of the control contact 211 on the circuit board 21 can be set according to the position of the operating elements 3. The control contact 211 can be a printed circuit with its two ends adjacent to each other and separated by a gap. The two ends of the printed circuit can be electrically connected by the conductive element 22, thereby turning on the control contact 211 and generating an electrical signal (such as voltage or current).

[0083] As another example, structures or components that can be electrically connected to other electrical devices can be provided on the circuit board 21. For example, wires can be soldered onto the circuit board 21 and extended to the outside of the housing 1 to facilitate electrical connection between the circuit board 21 and the controller of the electric vehicle. A wireless transmitter can also be provided on the circuit board 21 to electrically connect the circuit board 21 to the controller via wireless transmission (such as Bluetooth transmission).

[0084] In this embodiment, a conductive element 22 can be disposed within the receiving cavity. The conductive element 22 can be a device capable of conducting current. The conductive element 22 and the circuit board 21 form a circuit assembly 2. For example, the conductive element 22 can be made of silicone conductive particles, a dome switch, a metal conductive contact, etc. The conductive element 22 can be positioned directly opposite the control contact 211, with a gap between the conductive element 22 and the control contact 211. The conductive element 22 can be slidably disposed within the receiving cavity, allowing it to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0085] In this embodiment, the movement of the conductive member 22 relative to the control contact 211 can be operated by the operating member 3. For example, a first through hole 14 can be provided on the housing 1, and the position of the first through hole 14 corresponds to the control contact 211. Furthermore, the shape of the first through hole 14 matches the operating member 3, so that the operating member 3 can be inserted into the housing 1 through the first through hole 14, thereby so that a part of the operating member 3 is located in the receiving cavity and corresponds to the conductive member 22, while the other part of the operating member 3 is located outside the housing 1.

[0086] The control switch in this application embodiment refers to... Figure 5 The control switch comprises a circuit board 21 and a conductive element 22 disposed within the housing cavity. By setting the number and position of control contacts 211 on the circuit board 21, the control switch can generate multiple control signals. Simultaneously, an operating element 3 is movably disposed on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the conductive element 22, facilitating user operation of the control switch. Compared to control switches in related technologies, which involve multiple metal contacts and springs, and multiple wires electrically connecting the metal contacts and springs, the control switch provided in this embodiment generates control signals through the conductive element 22 and the circuit board 21. This allows multiple switches to be integrated onto the same circuit board 21, thereby reducing the number of components in the control switch, simplifying the assembly steps, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, control contacts 211 can be provided on both opposite sides of the circuit board 21 along its thickness direction. For example, seven control contacts 211 can be provided on the surface of the circuit board 21 facing the cover plate 52, and these seven control contacts 211 correspond to three operating elements 3. Two control contacts 211 can be provided on the surface of the circuit board 21 facing the support member 51, and these two control contacts 211 correspond to one operating element 3. In this way, both the front housing 11 and the rear housing 12 of the control switch have operating elements 3.

[0088] In the above embodiments, by setting the control contact 211 as a printed circuit structure, it is not only easier to process the control contact 211, but also to improve the reliability of the control contact 211. Furthermore, since control contacts 211 are provided on both opposite sides of the circuit board 21, operating elements 3 can be provided on both opposite sides of the housing 1, which facilitates the placement of multiple operating elements 3 in the control switch and helps to reduce mutual interference between multiple operating elements 3, thereby reducing the design and assembly difficulty of the control switch.

[0089] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The operating member 3 has a trigger structure 311 on the side facing the guide member 22. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the pressing column 7 can move along the first direction Z under the drive of the trigger structure 311. The first direction Z is different from the movement direction of the operating member 3.

[0090] In this embodiment, the operating element 3 can be slidably disposed in the control switch relative to the housing 1, and the sliding operating element 3 drives the conductive element 22 to move relative to the control contact 211. For example, the operating element 3 can be configured as a structure including a trigger element 31 and an outer trim element 32, or the operating element 3 can be configured as a single integral structure.

[0091] For example, a groove matching the trigger 31 can be provided inside the housing 1, or a groove matching the trigger 31 can be provided on the cover plate 52. In this way, the trigger 31 can be slidably disposed between the housing 1 and the cover plate 52 via the groove. The sliding direction Y of the trigger 31 relative to the housing 1 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the closing direction of the cover plate 52 and the bearing member 51.

[0092] In another example, a plug-in post can be provided on the trigger 31, and a plug-in hole matching the plug-in post can be provided on the outer trim 32. The outer trim 32 and the trigger 31 can then be plugged and fixed together by the plug-in post and the plug-in hole. The plug-in post can pass through the first through hole 14, so that the outer trim 32 is located outside the housing 1, and the trigger 31 is located inside the receiving cavity.

[0093] In another example, a first limiting structure 58 can be provided between the housing 1, the support assembly 5, and the operating member 3 to limit the sliding position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. For example, a first stop can be provided on the cover plate 52, and a second stop corresponding to the first stop can be provided on the trigger member 31. The first and second stops extend along the arrangement direction (which can be understood as the first direction Z) to limit the sliding position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0094] In the above embodiment, since the operating member 3 is slidably mounted on the housing 1, it is convenient to drive the pressing column 7 (conductor 22) to move relative to the control contact 211 by sliding the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. Furthermore, a first limiting structure 58 is provided between the operating member 3 and the housing 1, and between the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, which allows the operating member 3 to slide to an accurate position relative to the reset part 41, thereby improving the accuracy of operating the operating member 3, and further enabling the conductor 22 to accurately abut or separate from the control contact 211.

[0095] In this embodiment, a trigger structure 311 can be provided on the operating member 3 to drive the pressing post 7 to move relative to the control contact 211. For example, a spring block can be provided on the trigger member 31, which is connected to the trigger member 31 by a compression spring. A stop block corresponding to the spring block can be provided on the cover plate 52. During the sliding process of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the spring block can move towards the trigger member 31 under the restriction of the stop block. After the spring block separates from the stop block, the spring block moves towards the pressing post 7 under the action of the compression spring to press the pressing post 7 towards the control contact 211.

[0096] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The trigger structure 311 includes a protrusion extending along the first direction Z. At least one end of the protrusion has a guide surface 312 along the movement direction of the operating member 3. The guide surface 312 has an acute angle with the movement direction of the operating member 3.

[0097] For example, the trigger structure 311 may also include a protrusion extending along the first direction Z. At least one end of the protrusion has a guide surface 312 along the sliding direction Y, and the guide surface 312 forms an obtuse angle with the sliding direction Y. For instance, a protruding protrusion may be provided on the surface of the trigger member 31 facing the circuit board 21, and the protrusion presses the post 7. In the case where one operating member 3 corresponds to two pressing posts 7, two protrusions may be provided on the trigger member 31, and each of the two protrusions may drive one pressing post 7 to move along the first direction Z.

[0098] In another example, a guide surface 312 can be provided on the side where the protrusion contacts the pressing post 7. For example, the guide surface 312 can be set as an inclined surface with an angle of 150° to 170° with the sliding direction Y. In this way, during the process of the guide surface 312 contacting the pressing post 7, the force applied to the pressing post 7 by the guide surface 312 along the arrangement direction gradually increases.

[0099] The control switch in this embodiment simplifies the structure of the operating member 3 by setting the trigger structure 311 to include a protrusion. Furthermore, the protrusion has an inclined guide surface 312, which helps reduce the resistance experienced by the operating member 3 along the sliding direction Y during the contact and relative sliding process between the operating member 3 and the conductive member 22 or the pressing post 7, thus facilitating operation of the operating member 3.

[0100] In some possible embodiments of this application, the first limiting structure 58 includes a first limiting post 581 and at least two first limiting grooves 582. The first limiting post 581 is disposed on one of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and the first limiting post 581 extends along the arrangement direction (first direction Z) of the conductor 22 and the operating member 3. The first limiting grooves 582 are disposed on the other of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and at least two first limiting grooves 582 are arranged along the sliding direction Y of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. At least one of the first limiting post 581 and the first limiting grooves 582 can reciprocate in a direction that satisfies a parallel relationship with the arrangement direction (first direction Z).

[0101] In this embodiment, a first limiting post 581 can be provided on the trigger member 31, and correspondingly, a first limiting groove 582 corresponding to the first limiting post 581 can be provided on the cover plate member 52, or a first limiting groove 582 corresponding to the first limiting post 581 can be provided inside the housing 1. Alternatively, a first limiting groove 582 can be provided on the trigger member 31, and correspondingly, a first limiting post 581 corresponding to the first limiting groove 582 can be provided on the cover plate member 52, or the first limiting post 581 can be provided inside the housing 1. Both the first limiting post 581 and the first limiting groove 582 extend along the arrangement direction (which can be understood as the first direction Z). Thus, during the sliding process of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the first limiting post 581 can slide out or in from the first limiting groove 582 to limit the sliding position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0102] For example, the number of first limiting grooves 582 can be set according to the position where the operating member 3 needs to slide relative to the housing 1. For example, when the two reset parts 41 are moved by one operating member 3, three first limiting grooves 582 can be continuously set on the cover plate 52 along the sliding direction Y, so that the operating member 3 can be stably stopped relative to the housing 1 in three positions. The operating member 3 can abut against one reset part 41 in two positions, and the operating member 3 does not abut against either reset part 41 in the third position.

[0103] In another example, a compression spring can be provided between the first limiting post 581 and the trigger member 31, so that the first limiting post 581 can move relative to the first limiting groove 582 along the arrangement direction (first direction Z) by means of the compression spring. Alternatively, the first limiting groove 582 (provided on a separate part) can be slidably disposed on the cover plate member 52 along the arrangement direction, and a compression spring can be provided between the first limiting groove 582 and the cover plate member 52, so that the first limiting groove 582 can move relative to the first limiting post 581 along the arrangement direction.

[0104] In the above embodiments, since the first limiting structure 58 is configured to include a first limiting post 581 and a first limiting groove 582, the operating member 3 can be slidably fixed (not allowed to slide arbitrarily) on the housing 1 along the sliding direction Y by sliding the first limiting post 581 among multiple first limiting grooves 582. Furthermore, at least one of the first limiting post 581 and the first limiting groove 582 can reciprocate in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction (first direction Z). During the process of controlling the sliding of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the first limiting post 581 and the first limiting groove 582 can also generate movement along the arrangement direction, which can reduce the resistance of the operating member 3 sliding relative to the housing 1 and facilitate user operation.

[0105] In some possible embodiments of this application, the operating member 3 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1 and / or the support assembly 5, and a second limiting structure 59 is provided between the operating member 3 and the housing 1 and / or the support assembly 5, the second limiting structure 59 being able to limit the rotation angle of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0106] In this embodiment, the operating member 3 can be operated by rotating relative to the housing 1. For example, a rotating shaft can be provided on the operating member 3, and correspondingly, a shaft hole matching the rotating shaft can be provided on the housing 1, or a shaft hole matching the rotating shaft can be provided on the bracket assembly 5. Alternatively, a shaft hole can be provided on the operating member 3, and correspondingly, a rotating shaft matching the shaft hole can be provided on the housing 1, or a rotating shaft matching the shaft hole can be provided on the bracket assembly 5. In this way, the operating member 3 can be rotatably mounted on the housing 1 or the bracket assembly 5 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the shaft hole.

[0107] For example, a second limiting structure 59 can be provided between the housing 1, the support assembly 5, and the operating member 3 to limit the rotational position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. For instance, a third stop can be provided inside the housing 1, and a fourth stop corresponding to the third stop can be provided on the operating member 3. The third and fourth stops extend relative to each other along the arrangement direction (first direction Z) to limit the rotational angle of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 through the abutment of the third and fourth stops.

[0108] In the above embodiment, since the operating member 3 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1, it is convenient to drive the reset part 41 (conductive member 22) to move relative to the control contact 211 by rotating the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. Furthermore, a second limiting structure 59 is provided between the operating member 3 and the housing 1, and between the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, which allows the operating member 3 to rotate to an accurate position relative to the reset part 41, thereby improving the accuracy of operating the operating member 3, and further enabling the conductive member 22 to accurately abut or separate from the control contact 211.

[0109] In some possible embodiments of this application, the second limiting structure 59 includes a second limiting post 591 and at least two second limiting grooves 592. The second limiting post 591 is disposed on one of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and extends in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction (first direction Z) of the conductor 22 and the operating member 3. The second limiting grooves 592 are disposed on the other of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and at least two second limiting grooves 592 are arranged in the rotation direction of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. At least one of the second limiting post 591 and the second limiting groove 592 is capable of reciprocating in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction (first direction Z).

[0110] In this embodiment, a second limiting post 591 can be provided on the operating member 3. Correspondingly, a second limiting groove 592 corresponding to the second limiting post 591 can be provided on the bearing member 51 or the guide assembly 9, or a second limiting groove 592 corresponding to the second limiting post 591 can be provided inside the housing 1. Alternatively, a second limiting groove 592 can be provided on the operating member 3. Correspondingly, a second limiting post 591 corresponding to the second limiting groove 592 can be provided on the bearing member 51 or the guide assembly 9, or the second limiting post 591 can be provided inside the housing 1. Both the second limiting post 591 and the second limiting groove 592 extend along the arrangement direction (first direction Z). Thus, during the rotation of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the second limiting post 591 can slide out or into the second limiting groove 592 to limit the rotational position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0111] For example, the number of second limiting grooves 592 can be set according to the position where the operating member 3 needs to rotate relative to the housing 1. For example, when the two reset parts 41 are moved by one operating member 3, the two second limiting grooves 592 can be continuously set on the guide assembly 9 along the rotation direction so that the operating member 3 can be stably stopped at two positions relative to the housing 1. The operating member 3 can drive a pusher 8 to abut against the corresponding reset part 41 at the two positions.

[0112] In another example, a compression spring can be provided between the second limiting post 591 and the operating member 3, so that the second limiting post 591 can move relative to the second limiting groove 592 along the arrangement direction (first direction Z) by the compression spring. Alternatively, the second limiting groove 592 (provided on a separate part) can be slidably disposed on the carrier member 51 or guide assembly 9 along the arrangement direction (first direction Z), and a compression spring can be provided between the second limiting groove 592 and the carrier member 51 or guide assembly 9, so that the second limiting groove 592 can move relative to the second limiting post 591 along the arrangement direction (first direction Z).

[0113] In the above embodiments, since the second limiting structure 59 is configured to include a second limiting post 591 and a second limiting groove 592, the operating member 3 can be movably fixed (without arbitrary rotation) on the housing 1 along the rotation direction by sliding the second limiting post 591 among multiple second limiting grooves 592. Furthermore, at least one of the second limiting post 591 and the second limiting groove 592 can reciprocate in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction (first direction Z). During the process of controlling the rotation of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the second limiting post 591 and the second limiting groove 592 can also generate movement along the arrangement direction (first direction Z), which can reduce the resistance to the rotation of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 and facilitate user operation.

[0114] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control switch also includes a seal 4, which has a reset part 41 located between the conductor 22 and the pressing post 7. The conductor 22 is fixed to the reset part 41, and the reset part 41 can generate a deformation along the first direction Z to drive the conductor 22 to move away from the control contact 211.

[0115] In this embodiment, a seal 4 can be provided inside the control switch to seal the circuit board 21. The seal 4 can be made of a material with good insulating properties, such as silicone, rubber, or plastic.

[0116] For example, the shape of the seal 4 can be set according to the shape of the circuit board 21. For instance, the seal 4 can be set as a bag-shaped structure with an opening, and the circuit board 21 can be placed inside the bag-shaped seal 4 to achieve a seal on the circuit board 21. A portion of the seal 4 can be located between the circuit board 21 and the pressing post 7 to isolate the circuit board 21 from the first through hole 14 on the housing 1, etc., which is the structure for mounting the operating member 3 to the housing 1.

[0117] In another example, a reset part 41 can be provided on the seal 4, and the reset part 41 can be positioned on the seal 4 at a position corresponding to the control contact 211, that is, the reset part 41 also corresponds to the pressing post 7. For example, the reset part 41 can be provided as a protrusion in the shape of a cone or cylinder, which extends from the seal 4 in a direction away from the control contact 211. A groove can also be provided on the side of the protrusion facing the control contact 211, and the conductive member 22 can be fixed at the bottom of the groove away from the control contact 211. The reset part 41 and the seal 4 can be an integral structure, or the reset part 41 can be fixedly connected to the seal 4 by means of bonding, welding, etc. The reset part 41 has good elastic deformation properties. For example, when the seal 4 and the reset part 41 are an integral structure and the seal 4 is made of silicone, the reset part 41 has elastic deformation capability. In this way, by moving the pressing column 7 relative to the housing 1, the reset part 41 can be moved relative to the control contact 211, thereby driving the conductive member 22 fixed in the reset part 41 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0118] In another example, a second through hole 54 corresponding to each reset part 41 can be provided on the bracket assembly 5. When the reset member is circular, the second through hole 54 can be a circular through hole. The inner diameter of the second through hole 54 is larger than the outer diameter of the reset part 41 to reduce friction between the reset part 41 and the bracket assembly 5. The reset part 41 can extend out of the second through hole 54, or the portion of the operating member 3 corresponding to the reset part 41 can extend into the second through hole 54, so that the operating member 3 can abut against the reset part 41 through the second through hole 54.

[0119] In the above embodiment, since a sealing element 4 is provided between the circuit board 21 and the pressing post 7, the circuit board 21 can be isolated and sealed by the sealing element 4, thereby reducing the impact of moisture, dust, etc. on the circuit board 21. Furthermore, a reset part 41 is provided on the sealing element 4, which can deform to drive the conductive element 22 to separate from the control contact 211. This reduces the need for structures on the conductive element 22 to guide its movement relative to the control contact 211, which is beneficial for reducing the number of components in the control switch.

[0120] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the sealing member 4 has a fixing part 44 on the side facing the circuit board 21. The fixing part 44 matches the circuit board 21, and the circuit board 21 is fixed to the sealing member 4 by the fixing part 44.

[0121] In this embodiment, when the seal 4 and the circuit board 21 are stacked, the circuit board 21 can be fixed to the seal 4 by the fixing part 44. The fixing part 44 can be provided on the edge of the seal 4 facing the circuit board 21. For example, the fixing part 44 can be provided as a hook-shaped structure that extends from the edge of the seal 4 toward the center of the seal 4. If multiple hook-shaped structures are provided on the seal 4 along the circumference, and multiple hook-shaped structures are used as fixing parts 44, the circuit board 21 can be fixed to the seal 4 by multiple hook-shaped structures.

[0122] In the above embodiments, since a fixing part 44 is provided on the sealing member 4, during the assembly of the circuit board 21 and the sealing member 4, the circuit board 21 can be fixedly connected to the sealing member 4 through the fixing part 44 to form an integral part, which facilitates the gripping of automated equipment and improves the assembly efficiency of the circuit board 21 and the sealing member 4 in the bracket assembly 5.

[0123] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The support assembly 5 includes a support member 51 and a cover member 52. The support member 51 has a receiving groove 53 that matches the circuit board 21 and the seal 4. The circuit board 21 and the seal 4 are stacked in the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 covers the opening of the receiving groove 53 to form a sealed cavity. A guide hole 57 is provided in the cover member 52.

[0124] In this embodiment, the support assembly 5 can be configured to include a support member 51 and a cover member 52. The support member 51 can be configured as a box-shaped structure with an opening, that is, the support member 51 has a receiving groove 53. The shape and structure of the receiving groove 53 match the circuit board 21 and the seal 4, so that the circuit board 21 and the seal 4 can be stacked in the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 can be configured as an approximately flat plate structure, and the shape and structure of the cover member 52 match the opening of the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 can be placed over the opening of the receiving groove 53 to form a sealed cavity by the cover member 52 and the support member 51.

[0125] For example, a guide hole 57 can be provided on the cover plate 52, that is, the circuit board 21 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 53, the cover plate 52 is disposed between the circuit board 21 and the operating member 3, the sealing member 4 is located on the side of the circuit board 21 near the opening of the receiving groove 53, and the reset part 41 is disposed on the side facing the pressing post 7, so that the pressing post 7 can pass through the guide hole 57 and contact the reset part 41.

[0126] In the above embodiments, the support assembly 5 is configured to include a support member 51 and a cover plate 52, which facilitates the processing of the support assembly 5. Furthermore, the support member 51 is provided with a receiving groove 53, in which the circuit board 21 and the sealing member 4 can be stacked. Thus, the circuit board 21 can be shielded and sealed by the sealing member 4, and the receiving groove 53 can be closed by the cover plate 52, thereby placing the circuit board 21 in a relatively sealed space.

[0127] In this embodiment, the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For example, a protruding buckle 55 can be provided on the edge of the carrier 51, and a matching groove 56 can be provided on the cover plate 52 in the area corresponding to the buckle 55. Alternatively, a protruding buckle 55 can be provided on the edge of the cover plate 52, and a matching groove 56 can be provided on the carrier 51 in the area corresponding to the buckle 55. Along the circumference of the cover plate 52, multiple pairs of matching buckles 55 and grooves 56 can be provided on the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52, so that the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51 can be fixedly connected by the cooperation of the buckles 55 and the grooves 56.

[0128] In the above embodiments, since the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 are respectively provided with matching buckles 55 and slots 56, the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 can be fixedly connected by the cooperation of the buckles 55 and the slots 56. Moreover, during the assembly of the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52, the cover plate 52 can be placed on the carrier 51 and pressed together, which helps to simplify the assembly steps of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51.

[0129] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The sealing element 4 has a raised ring 42 on the side facing the cover plate 52. The raised ring 42 surrounds the sealing element 4 around the edge of the sealing element 4. Along the covering direction of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51, the raised ring 42 abuts against the cover plate 52 and is in an interference fit. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the raised ring 42 on the sealing element 4.

[0130] In this embodiment, when the seal 4 is stacked on the side of the circuit board 21 near the cover plate 52, a raised ring 42 can be provided on the side of the seal 4 facing the cover plate 52. The raised ring 42 surrounds the seal 4 along its edge, that is, the raised ring 42 is a complete ring. This allows all the reset parts 41 to be located within the area enclosed by the raised ring 42 on the seal 4.

[0131] For example, along the covering direction (first direction Z) between the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51, the height of the convex ring 42 can be greater than the distance between the surface of the seal 4 and the cover plate 52. Thus, during the process of covering the cover plate 52 onto the carrier 51, the cover plate 52 first abuts against the convex ring 42, and then the cover plate 52 presses against the convex ring 42, causing the convex ring 42 to be compressed and deformed along the covering direction, thereby ensuring a tight abutment between the convex ring 42 and the cover plate 52, that is, an interference fit between the convex ring 42 and the cover plate 52 along the covering direction.

[0132] In the above embodiment, since the sealing member 4 has a protruding ring 42 on the side facing the cover plate member 52, after the assembly of the cover plate member 52 and the carrier member 51 is completed, the protruding ring 42 can be tightly abutted against the cover plate member 52, thereby forming a sealed space between the cover plate member 52 and the sealing member 4, which can prevent water vapor, dust and other substances from reaching the circuit board 21 through the sealing member 4, which is beneficial to reducing the impact of the environment on the circuit board 21.

[0133] In some possible embodiments of this application, the control switch further includes a connector 6, one end of which is electrically connected to the circuit board 21, and the other end of which extends through the bracket assembly 5 to the outside of the sealed cavity. The connector 6 is used for electrical connection with the controller.

[0134] In this embodiment, a connector 6 can be provided in the control switch to electrically connect the circuit board 21 to the controller of the electric vehicle. For example, multiple connector pins can be provided on the circuit board 21, and each pin can be soldered to the printed circuit on the circuit board 21 for electrical connection. A pin header connector 62 matching the connector pins can also be provided. The connector pins can be plugged into and electrically connected to the pin header 61, and the pin header 61 and the pin header connector 62 constitute the connector 6. Correspondingly, a through hole matching the connector 6 can be provided on the carrier 51 or the cover plate 52, so that the connector 6 can extend to the outside of the sealing cavity through the through hole. A sealing element 4 can also be provided between the pin header connector 62 and the through hole to seal the sealing cavity.

[0135] In the above embodiments, since the connector 6 is provided on the circuit board 21, the steps of soldering multiple wires separately can be reduced during the assembly of the control switch. This not only facilitates the electrical connection between the control switch and the controller, but also reduces the assembly steps of the control switch.

[0136] In some possible embodiments of this application, the sealing member 4 has a first sealing groove (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the circuit board 21. The first sealing groove surrounds the sealing member 4 around its edge. A filler (not shown in the figure) is disposed in the first sealing groove and is connected to the circuit board 21. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the first sealing groove on the sealing member 4. Alternatively, the sealing member 4 has a stepped structure 43 on the side facing the cover plate 52. The stepped structure 43 surrounds the sealing member 4 around its edge. The stepped structure 43 and the inner wall of the support member 51 enclose a second sealing groove. A filler (not shown in the figure) is disposed in the second sealing groove and is connected to the cover plate 52. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the stepped structure 43 on the sealing member 4.

[0137] A filler can be provided between the seal 4 and the bracket assembly 5 to further seal the receiving groove 53. For example, a sealing groove for receiving the filler can be provided on the seal 4 to receive and fix the filler. The filler can be a sealant, a sealing ring, etc.

[0138] For example, a first sealing groove can be provided on the surface of the seal 4 facing the circuit board 21. The first sealing groove is an annular groove surrounding the seal 4. For instance, two annular protrusions can be provided on the seal 4, each annular protrusion surrounding the edge of the seal 4, with a gap between the two annular protrusions, thereby forming the first sealing groove by the two annular protrusions. The reset part 41 can be provided in the area formed by the first sealing groove on the seal 4. In this way, during the process of attaching the seal 4 to the circuit board 21, the edge of the first sealing groove can abut against the circuit board 21 to seal the control contact 211 on the circuit board 21 and the conductive part 22 provided in the reset part 41 between the first sealing groove and the circuit board 21.

[0139] Another example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a stepped structure 43 can be provided on the side of the seal 4 facing the circuit board 21. The stepped structure 43 is a structure that sinks downward along the thickness direction (first direction Z) of the seal 4 at the edge of the seal 4, and the cross-section of the stepped structure 43 is approximately "L-shaped". Furthermore, the stepped structure 43 can be made to surround the seal 4. In this way, after the seal 4 is placed in the receiving groove 53 on the support member 51, the stepped structure 43 and the inner wall of the support member 51 can jointly enclose and form a second sealing groove.

[0140] In another example, fillers can be provided in both the first and second sealing grooves. The height of the filler in the first sealing groove along the covering direction of the circuit board 21 and the carrier 51 is greater than the distance between the seal 4 and the circuit board 21, so as to press the filler against the first sealing groove and the circuit board 21 through the circuit board 21 or the carrier 51. The height of the filler in the second sealing groove along the covering direction is greater than the distance between the bottom of the stepped structure 43 and the circuit board 21, so as to press the filler against the second sealing groove and the circuit board 21 through the circuit board 21.

[0141] In the above embodiments, since a first sealing groove is provided on the sealing member 4 or a second sealing groove is formed between the sealing member 4 and the carrier member 51, fillers can be provided in both the first and second sealing grooves. Thus, the conductor 22 and the control contact 211, etc., can be sealed in a sealed environment by the filler in the first sealing groove. The circuit board 21 can be sealed between the receiving groove 53 of the carrier member 51 and the sealing member 4 by the second sealing groove. This helps to reduce the influence of the environment on the circuit board 21 and improves the reliability of the circuit board 21, etc.

[0142] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The control switch also includes a pusher 8, which is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity along the first direction Z. One end of the pusher 8 corresponds to the conductor 22, and the other end of the pusher 8 corresponds to the operating member 3. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, it can drive the pusher 8 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0143] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, control contacts 211 can be provided on both sides of the circuit board 21, that is, operating elements 3 can be provided on both the front and rear of the housing 1. For example, three operating elements 3 can be provided on the front housing 11, and one operating element 3 can be provided on the rear housing 12 (e.g. Figure 8 The operating member 3 shown is located at the bottom. A guide assembly 9 can be provided on the operating member 3 located on the rear housing 12, and a pusher 8 can be provided on the guide assembly 9. The operating member 3 drives the pusher 8 to move, thereby causing the pusher 8 to drive the reset part 41 (conductor 22) to move relative to the control contact 211. For example, the guide assembly 9 can be configured to include a guide shell 91 and a guide cover 92. Through holes matching the pusher 8 can be provided on the guide shell 91 and the guide cover 92 to allow the pusher 8 to pass through the guide shell 91 and the guide cover 92, and to close the guide shell 91 and the guide cover 92.

[0144] In the above embodiments, since the control switch also includes a pusher 8, the pusher 8 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity along the first direction Z. One end of the pusher 8 corresponds to the conductor 22, and the other end corresponds to the operating member 3. The operating member 3 moves relative to the housing 1, which can drive the pusher 8 to move relative to the control contact 211, thereby realizing the conduction and disconnection of the control contact 211. With this structure, by adjusting the operating frame and the pusher 8, the control switch can be provided with an operating structure and operating mode other than the pressing column 7, increasing the number of functions integrated in the control switch, and also providing different operating modes.

[0145] This application embodiment also provides a control switch, installed on the target device, as shown in the following example. Figure 5 The control switch includes a bracket assembly 5, a circuit board 21, and a conductive element 22. The bracket assembly 5 has a sealed cavity; the circuit board 21 is disposed within the sealed cavity and is electrically connected to the controller of the target device. The circuit board 21 has control contacts 211; the conductive element 22 is movably disposed within the sealed cavity and corresponds to the control contacts 211; the conductive element 22 is movable relative to the bracket assembly 5, allowing it to abut or separate from the control contacts 211, and the conductive element 22 is capable of conducting current.

[0146] In this embodiment, the target device can be an electric bicycle, electric-assisted bicycle, electric motorcycle, electric scooter, electric tricycle, or freight tricycle, etc., and this application does not limit it. In this embodiment, the bracket assembly 5 can be a one-piece molded structure or a separate installation structure. The shape and size of the bracket assembly 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the control switch. The bracket assembly 5 can be made of materials such as metal or engineering plastics.

[0147] In this embodiment, a sealing element 4 can be provided inside the control switch to seal the bracket assembly 5, thereby forming a sealed cavity. The sealing element 4 can be made of a material with good insulation properties, such as silicone, rubber, or plastic.

[0148] In this embodiment, the support assembly 5 can be configured to include a support member 51 and a cover member 52. The support member 51 can be configured as a box-shaped structure with an opening, that is, the support member 51 has a receiving groove 53. The shape and structure of the receiving groove 53 match the circuit board 21 and the seal 4, so that the circuit board 21 and the seal 4 can be stacked in the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 can be configured as an approximately flat plate structure, and the shape and structure of the cover member 52 match the opening of the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 can be placed over the opening of the receiving groove 53 to form a sealed cavity by the cover member 52 and the support member 51.

[0149] In this embodiment, the circuit board 21 typically includes a substrate layer, a conductive layer, a functional layer, and auxiliary structures. For example, the circuit board 21 can be fixed within a sealed cavity using fasteners such as screws.

[0150] In another example, the structural shape of the circuit board 21 can be determined based on the number of operating elements 3 set in the control switch, the position of each operating element 3 on the housing 1, and the shape of the receiving cavity. For example, the position of the control contact 211 on the circuit board 21 can be set according to the position of the operating elements 3. The control contact 211 can be a printed circuit with its two ends adjacent to each other and separated by a gap. The two ends of the printed circuit can be electrically connected by the conductive element 22, thereby turning on the control contact 211 and generating an electrical signal (such as voltage or current).

[0151] In this embodiment of the control switch, the support assembly 5 has a sealed cavity, and the circuit board 21 is disposed within the sealed cavity and electrically connected to the controller of the target device. The circuit board 21 of the control switch can transmit electrical signals to the controller of the target device to control different functions. Since the conductive element 22 is movably disposed within the sealed cavity and corresponds to the control contact 211, reliable contact or separation with the control contact 211 can be achieved through the movement of the conductive element 22, thereby stably conducting or disconnecting the current. Because the support assembly 5 has a sealed cavity, and the circuit board 21 is disposed within the sealed cavity, the sealed cavity can protect against the intrusion of external factors such as dust and moisture, reducing damage to the circuit board 21 and the structure disposed within the sealed cavity, improving the durability and safety of the switch, and enhancing the stability of the control signal transmission to the target device.

[0152] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The control switch also includes an operating element 3, which is located outside the sealed cavity and can move relative to the bracket assembly 5 to drive the conductive element 22 to abut or separate from the control contact 211.

[0153] In this embodiment, the operating element 3 is a structure on the control switch used for user interaction. The movement of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1 can be sliding, rotating, pressing, flicking, etc. Based on the different movement modes of the operating element 3, the way the operating element 3 is positioned on the housing 1 varies.

[0154] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control switch also includes a pressing column 7, which is set to correspond to the control contact 211. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the operating member 3 can make the pressing column 7 move in the first direction Z, so that the pressing column 7 drives the conductive member 22 to abut or separate from the control contact 211. The first direction Z is perpendicular to the circuit board 21.

[0155] For example, the operating element 3 can be a rocker switch. Each of the back ends of the rocker is provided with a pushing part, and each pushing part corresponds to a pressing post 7. When the user presses one end of the rocker, the corresponding pushing part contacts the pressing post 7 and causes the pressing post 7 to move in the first direction Z. The pushing part contacts the arc-shaped surface of the guide part 71 and then slides along the arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped surface converts the force of the pushing part into a force in the first direction Z, causing the mounting post eye to move in the first direction Z.

[0156] In this embodiment, the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211 can be directly contacted to enable or disable the control contact 211. For example, in the second position, there is a gap between the pressing post 7 and the control contact 211, and the control contact 211 is in an open state; when the operating member 3 is triggered, the pressing post 7 approaches the control contact 211 under the action of the operating member 3. When the pressing post 7 moves to the first position, the pressing post 7 can contact the control contact 211, making the control contact 211 conductive.

[0157] In this embodiment, the operating member 3 can be operated by pressing and moving relative to the housing 1. For example, a pressing through hole matching the operating member 3 can be provided on the housing 1, and the extending direction of the pressing through hole is parallel or nearly parallel to the first direction Z. Thus, by pressing the operating member 3 along the first direction Z, the operating member 3 can move relative to the housing 1 by pressing and moving relative to the housing 1, thereby causing the pressing post 7 to move relative to the control contact 211. Alternatively, the operating member 3 can move relative to the housing 1 by pressing and moving relative to the housing 1, thereby causing the pushing member 8 to move along the first direction Z, and then causing the pushing member 8 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0158] For example, a fifth stop can be provided on the wall of the pressing through hole, and a sixth stop corresponding to the fifth stop can be provided on the operating member 3. Both the fifth and sixth stops extend radially along the pressing through hole and are arranged along the first direction Z. In this way, during the pressing of the operating member 3, the movement position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 can be limited until the sixth and fifth stops abut against each other.

[0159] In this embodiment of the control switch, the operating member 3 is disposed on the housing 1, and the operating member 3 can move relative to the housing 1. Since the operating member 3, when moving relative to the housing 1, can move the pressing column 7 to a first position or a second position in the first direction Z, and the first direction Z is perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, that is, the pressing column 7 can move to the first position or the second position in a direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, so that the control contact 211 is turned on or off. Since the pressing column 7 is disposed corresponding to the control contact 211, the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 causes the pressing column 7 to move in the first direction Z, thereby changing the position of the pressing column 7 relative to the control contact 211 in the first direction Z. The distance between the control contact 211 and the control contact 211 can be adjusted to make the control contact 211 turn on or off. This structure can convert the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 into the movement of the pressing column 7 in the direction perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, reducing the dispersion of force and thus enabling precise changes in the distance between the pressing column 7 and the control contact 211 to make the control contact 211 turn on or off. Since the pressing column 7 is set to correspond to the control contact 211, and the movement distance perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2 is short, the time it takes for the pressing column 7 to move to the first or second position can be shortened, improving sensitivity. That is, it can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the operation during the turn-on or turn-off process.

[0160] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bracket assembly 5 has a guide hole 57 in the area corresponding to the control contact 211, and the pressing post 7 passes through the guide hole 57, which extends along the first direction Z. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the operating member 3 can make the pressing post 7 move along the guide hole 57.

[0161] In this embodiment of the control switch, since a guide hole 57 extending in the first direction Z is opened in the area of ​​the bracket assembly 5 corresponding to the control contact 211, and the pressing post 7 is inserted into the guide hole 57, the radial movement of the pressing post 7 can be constrained and guided by the guide hole 57 when the operating member 3 moves, so that the pressing post 7 always moves along a straight trajectory perpendicular to the circuit assembly 2, thereby reducing the skew, shaking or jamming of the pressing post 7 during the movement, and improving the stability of the pressing member in turning the control contact 211 on or off.

[0162] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The operating member 3 has a trigger structure 311 on the side facing the guide member 22. During the movement of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the pressing column 7 can move along the first direction Z under the drive of the trigger structure 311. The first direction Z is different from the movement direction of the operating member 3.

[0163] In the above embodiment, since the operating member 3 is slidably mounted on the housing 1, it is convenient to drive the pressing column 7 (conductor 22) to move relative to the control contact 211 by sliding the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1. Furthermore, a first limiting structure 58 is provided between the operating member 3 and the housing 1, and between the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, which allows the operating member 3 to slide to an accurate position relative to the reset part 41, thereby improving the accuracy of operating the operating member 3, and further enabling the conductor 22 to accurately abut or separate from the control contact 211.

[0164] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The trigger structure 311 includes a protrusion extending along the first direction Z. At least one end of the protrusion has a guide surface 312 along the movement direction of the operating member 3. The guide surface 312 has an acute angle with the movement direction of the operating member 3.

[0165] The control switch in this embodiment simplifies the structure of the operating member 3 by setting the trigger structure 311 to include a protrusion. Furthermore, the protrusion has an inclined guide surface 312, which helps reduce the resistance experienced by the operating member 3 along the sliding direction Y during the contact and relative sliding process between the operating member 3 and the conductive member 22 or the pressing post 7, thus facilitating operation of the operating member 3.

[0166] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control switch also includes a seal 4, which has a reset part 41 located between the conductor 22 and the pressing post 7. The conductor 22 is fixed to the reset part 41, and the reset part 41 can generate a deformation along the first direction Z to drive the conductor 22 to move away from the control contact 211.

[0167] In the above embodiment, since a sealing element 4 is provided between the circuit board 21 and the pressing post 7, the circuit board 21 can be isolated and sealed by the sealing element 4, thereby reducing the impact of moisture, dust, etc. on the circuit board 21. Furthermore, a reset part 41 is provided on the sealing element 4, which can deform to drive the conductive element 22 to separate from the control contact 211. This reduces the need for structures on the conductive element 22 to guide its movement relative to the control contact 211, which is beneficial for reducing the number of components in the control switch.

[0168] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The support assembly 5 includes a support member 51 and a cover member 52. The support member 51 has a receiving groove 53 that matches the circuit board 21 and the seal 4. The circuit board 21 and the seal 4 are stacked in the receiving groove 53. The cover member 52 covers the opening of the receiving groove 53 to form a sealed cavity. A guide hole 57 is provided in the cover member 52.

[0169] In the above embodiments, since the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 are respectively provided with matching buckles 55 and slots 56, the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 can be fixedly connected by the cooperation of the buckles 55 and the slots 56. Moreover, during the assembly of the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52, the cover plate 52 can be placed on the carrier 51 and pressed together, which helps to simplify the assembly steps of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51.

[0170] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The sealing element 4 has a raised ring 42 on the side facing the cover plate 52. The raised ring 42 surrounds the sealing element 4 around the edge of the sealing element 4. Along the covering direction of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51, the raised ring 42 abuts against the cover plate 52 and is in an interference fit. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the raised ring 42 on the sealing element 4.

[0171] In the above embodiment, since the sealing member 4 has a protruding ring 42 on the side facing the cover plate member 52, after the assembly of the cover plate member 52 and the carrier member 51 is completed, the protruding ring 42 can be tightly abutted against the cover plate member 52, thereby forming a sealed space between the cover plate member 52 and the sealing member 4, which can prevent water vapor, dust and other substances from reaching the circuit board 21 through the sealing member 4, which is beneficial to reducing the impact of the environment on the circuit board 21.

[0172] In some possible embodiments of this application, the sealing member 4 has a first sealing groove (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the circuit board 21. The first sealing groove surrounds the sealing member 4 around its edge. A filler (not shown in the figure) is disposed in the first sealing groove and is connected to the circuit board 21. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the first sealing groove on the sealing member 4. Alternatively, the sealing member 4 has a stepped structure 43 on the side facing the cover plate 52. The stepped structure 43 surrounds the sealing member 4 around its edge. The stepped structure 43 and the inner wall of the support member 51 enclose a second sealing groove. A filler (not shown in the figure) is disposed in the second sealing groove and is connected to the cover plate 52. The reset part 41 is located in the area enclosed by the stepped structure 43 on the sealing member 4.

[0173] In the above embodiments, since a first sealing groove is provided on the sealing member 4 or a second sealing groove is formed between the sealing member 4 and the carrier member 51, fillers can be provided in both the first and second sealing grooves. Thus, the conductor 22 and the control contact 211, etc., can be sealed in a sealed environment by the filler in the first sealing groove. The circuit board 21 can be sealed between the receiving groove 53 of the carrier member 51 and the sealing member 4 by the second sealing groove. This helps to reduce the influence of the environment on the circuit board 21 and improves the reliability of the circuit board 21, etc.
