Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0028] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0029] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0031] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] Electric vehicles are widely used as a means of short-distance transportation. Electric vehicles include two-wheeled electric bicycles, three-wheeled electric vehicles, electric scooters, electric mopeds, and electric motorcycles. The movement of an electric vehicle is controlled by a switch located on the handlebars. This switch controls the vehicle's start, forward and reverse movements, gear shifting, lights, horn, etc. This results in a large number of mechanical switches within the control switch, each requiring at least two wires to be electrically connected to a corresponding component (motor, lights, horn, etc.). This leads to a large variety and number of components within the control switch, reducing assembly efficiency.

[0034] 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...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the control switch provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a front view structural diagram of the control switch provided in this application. Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the control switch provided in this application. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of some components in the control switch provided in this application Figure 1 , Figure 5 Provided for this application Figure 2 A cross-sectional view along the AA direction. The control switch provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to examples in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The control switch provided in this application embodiment includes: a housing 1, a circuit assembly 2, and an operating member 3; wherein, the housing 1 encloses a receiving cavity; the circuit assembly 2 is disposed within the receiving cavity and includes a control contact 211; the operating member 3 is disposed on the housing 1 and is slidable relative to the housing 1, at least a portion of the operating member 3 corresponds to the control contact 211, and during the sliding process of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, it can drive the portion of the circuit assembly 2 corresponding to the control contact 211 to move relative to the control contact 211, so that the control contact 211 is turned on or off.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, the housing 1 can be configured as a structure including a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be assembled by means of snaps, screws or welding, so as to form a receiving cavity by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0037] For example, a mounting structure 13 adapted to the handlebars of an electric vehicle can be provided on the housing 1 to mount the housing 1 (control switch) to the electric vehicle. The mounting structure 13 can be a clamp, a slot, or a fastening strap, etc. For example, the mounting structure 13 can be a clamp, which is set on the handlebars, and the control switch is clamped in the clamp to realize the control switch is set on the handlebars; the mounting structure 13 can also be a slot set on the handlebars, and the control switch is correspondingly provided with a buckle, and the buckle and the slot are engaged to realize the control switch is set on the handlebars.

[0038] 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.

[0039] In this embodiment, the circuit component 2 is used to turn the control switch on and off. The circuit component 2 may include a circuit board 21, on which control contacts may be provided to turn the circuit of the circuit board 21 on and off through control contacts 211. The circuit component 2 may also include an indicator light, which is used to display whether the circuit component 2 is on or off, or to indicate switching.

[0040] For example, the circuit assembly 2 can be fixed in the receiving cavity by means of snap-fit, fastener threaded connection, or adhesive bonding. For instance, a hook matching the circuit assembly 2 can be provided in the housing 1 to snap the circuit assembly 2 into place in the receiving cavity.

[0041] 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 a conductive element 22, thereby turning the control contact 211 on or off to generate an electrical signal (such as voltage or current).

[0042] As another example, structures or parts that can be electrically connected to other electrical devices can be provided on circuit assembly 2. For example, wires can be soldered onto circuit board 21 and extended to the outside of housing 1 to facilitate electrical connection of circuit board 21 to the controller of the electric vehicle. A wireless transmitter can also be provided on circuit board 21 to electrically connect circuit board 21 to the controller via wireless transmission (such as Bluetooth transmission).

[0043] In this embodiment, the operating element 3 can drive a portion of the circuit assembly 2 to move, thereby performing corresponding operations on the control contacts. 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. The shape of the first through hole 14 matches the operating element 3, so that the operating element 3 can be inserted into the housing 1 through the first through hole 14, thereby placing a portion of the operating element 3 within the receiving cavity and corresponding to the control contact 211, while placing the other portion of the operating element 3 outside the housing 1.

[0044] For example, the movement of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1 can be sliding, rotating, pressing, or flicking. Depending on the different movement modes of the operating element 3, the way the operating element 3 is positioned on the housing 1 can vary. For instance, the operating element 3 can be slidably mounted on the housing 1, such as by providing a sliding groove within the housing 1 and a slider matching the sliding groove on the operating element 3. Through the cooperation of the slider and the sliding groove, the operating element 3 can slide relative to the housing 1 in the sliding direction Y. Thus, when the user operates the operating element 3, causing it to slide relative to the housing 1, the operating element 3 can drive the part of the circuit assembly 2 corresponding to the control contact to move relative to the control contact 211, thereby turning the control contact 211 on or off, and thus enabling the control switch to generate a control signal.

[0045] The control switch provided in this embodiment has a housing 1 that encloses a cavity, allowing other components of the control switch to be installed within it, thus providing protection for these components. A circuit assembly 2 is housed within the cavity, and the control switch can generate multiple control signals by setting the number and position of control contacts 211 on the circuit assembly 2. Simultaneously, an operating element 3 is slidably positioned on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the control contacts, facilitating user operation of the control switch. Compared to control switches in related technologies, which typically have multiple metal contacts and springs, as well as multiple wires electrically connecting the metal contacts and springs, the control switch provided in this embodiment generates control signals through the operation of the circuit assembly 2 by the operating element 3. This allows multiple switches to be integrated onto the same circuit assembly 2, reducing the number of components in the control switch, simplifying the assembly process, improving assembly efficiency, and / or facilitating automated production.

[0046] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the circuit assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21 and a conductive element 22. The circuit board 21 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the control contact 211 is disposed on the circuit board 21. The conductive element 22 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity and corresponds to the control contact 211. The conductive element 22 is capable of conducting current. At least a portion of the operating element 3 corresponds to the conductive element 22, and the sliding direction Y of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1 is parallel to the extension direction of the circuit board 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, a circuit board 21 and a conductive element 22 can be provided in the circuit assembly 2, and a control contact 211 can be disposed on the circuit board 21. The conductive element 22 enables the control contact 211 to be turned on or off. 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 wire network for electrical connection. The copper foil is divided into electrolytic copper foil and 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, which can prevent short circuits and oxidation. The silkscreen layer can display component numbers, polarity markings, and assembly information. The pads are used to solder component leads, and the vias enable interlayer connections between the layers in the circuit board 21.

[0048] 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 hooks provided in the shell wall of the housing 1.

[0049] 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 a conductive element 22, thereby turning the control contact 211 on or off to generate an electrical signal (such as voltage or current).

[0050] 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).

[0051] In another example, the conductive element 22 can be a device capable of conducting current. 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 the conductive element 22 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0052] In another example, the operating element 3 can slide relative to the housing 1 in a direction parallel or nearly parallel to the extension direction of the circuit board 21. In this way, the position between the operating element 3 and the conductive element 22 can change during the sliding of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1, thereby driving the conductive element 22 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0053] In the above embodiments, since the circuit component 2 is configured to include a circuit board 21 and a conductive element 22, by setting the number and position of the control contacts 211 on the circuit board 21, the control switch can generate multiple control signals, thereby integrating multiple switches on the same circuit board 21. This not only reduces the number of components in the control switch and facilitates the assembly of the control switch, but also helps to miniaturize the control switch.

[0054] In some possible embodiments of this application, the operating member 3 has a trigger structure 311 on the side facing the conductor 22. During the process of the operating member 3 sliding relative to the housing 1 in the sliding direction Y, the conductor 22 can move along the arrangement direction Z of the control contact 211 and the conductor 22 under the drive of the trigger structure 311. The arrangement direction Z and the sliding direction Y satisfy a perpendicular relationship.

[0055] In this embodiment, a trigger structure 311 can be provided on the operating member 3 to drive the reset part 41 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 reset part 41 under the action of the compression spring to press the reset part 41 towards the control contact 211.

[0056] For example, the trigger structure 311 may also include a protrusion extending along the arrangement direction Z of the conductor 22 and the operating member 3. 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 reset part 41 may be pressed by the protrusion. In the case where one operating member 3 corresponds to two reset parts 41, two protrusions may be provided on the trigger member 31, and each of the two protrusions may drive one reset part 41 to move along the arrangement direction Z.

[0057] In another example, a guide surface 312 can be provided on the side where the protrusion contacts the reset part 41. 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 reset part 41, the force exerted by the guide surface 312 on the reset part 41 along the arrangement direction Z gradually increases.

[0058] In the above embodiments, by setting the trigger structure 311 to include a protrusion, the structure of the operating member 3 can be simplified. Furthermore, the protrusion is provided with an inclined guide surface 312, which helps to reduce the resistance encountered by the operating member 3 along the sliding direction Y during the contact and relative sliding process between the operating member 3 and the conductor 22 or the reset part 41, thus facilitating the operation of the operating member 3.

[0059] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control switch also includes a bracket assembly 5, which is disposed in the receiving cavity. The bracket assembly 5 surrounds and forms a sealed cavity that matches the circuit board 21. The circuit board 21 is disposed in the sealed cavity. The area of ​​the bracket assembly 5 corresponding to the conductive member 22 has a second through hole 54. The operating member 3 can drive the conductive member 22 to move relative to the control contact 211 through the second through hole 54.

[0060] In this embodiment, a bracket assembly 5 can be provided inside the control switch to support and install some components within the control switch. For example, the bracket assembly 5 can be configured as a closed box-shaped structure to form a sealed cavity. The bracket assembly 5 can be integrally formed with the housing 1 or it can be a separate structure. The shape and size of the bracket assembly 5 can be adjusted according to the space within the cavity. The bracket assembly 5 can be made of the same material as the housing 1 or a different material, such as metal or engineering plastic.

[0061] For example, the shape of the sealing cavity can be set according to the shape of the circuit board 21 to facilitate the installation of the circuit board 21 or the like inside the sealing cavity. For example, the sealing cavity can be set as a square cavity that matches the plate-shaped circuit board 21.

[0062] In another example, a second through hole 54 corresponding to each conductor 22 can be provided on the bracket assembly 5. When the conductor 22 is circular, the second through hole 54 can be configured as a circular through hole. For example, the conductor 22 can be slidably disposed within the second through hole 54, and one end of the conductor 22 away from the circuit board 21 can extend out of the second through hole 54, allowing the operating member 3 to abut or separate from the conductor 22.

[0063] In the above embodiments, since a support assembly 5 is provided within the receiving cavity, the support assembly 5 can provide support and a mounting base for the circuit board 21, etc., thereby reducing the movement of the circuit board 21, etc. within the receiving cavity and improving the stability of the circuit board 21, etc. Furthermore, a second through hole 54 corresponding to the conductive member 22 is provided on the support assembly 5, allowing the operating member 3 to abut against the conductive member 22 through the second through hole 54, and reducing the impact on the sealing performance of the receiving cavity.

[0064] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of some components in the control switch provided in this application Figure 2 The operating element 3 is slidably disposed on the housing 1 and / or the bracket assembly 5. A limiting structure 58 is provided between the operating element 3 and the housing 1 and / or the bracket assembly 5, which can limit the sliding position of the operating element 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0065] 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 an integral structure including a single component.

[0066] 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 bracket assembly 5. In this way, the trigger 31 can be slidably disposed between the housing 1 and the bracket assembly 5 via the groove. The sliding direction Y of the trigger 31 relative to the housing 1 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the arrangement direction Z of the circuit board 21 and the conductor 22.

[0067] 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.

[0068] In another example, a 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 support assembly 5, 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 Z to limit the sliding position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1 by the blocking of the second stop by the first stop.

[0069] In the above embodiments, since a 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, the operating member 3 can slide relative to the conductor 22 to an accurate position, 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.

[0070] In some possible embodiments of this application, the limiting structure 58 includes a limiting post 581 and at least two limiting grooves 582. The limiting post 581 is disposed on one of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and the limiting post 581 extends along the arrangement direction Z of the conductor 22 and the operating member 3. The limiting grooves 582 are disposed on the other of the operating member 3 and the support assembly 5, and at least two 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 limiting post 581 and the limiting grooves 582 is capable of reciprocating in a direction that satisfies a parallel relationship with the arrangement direction Z.

[0071] In this embodiment, a limiting post 581 can be provided on the trigger member 31, and correspondingly, a limiting groove 582 corresponding to the limiting post 581 can be provided on the bracket assembly 5, or a limiting groove 582 corresponding to the limiting post 581 can be provided inside the housing 1. Alternatively, a limiting groove 582 can be provided on the trigger member 31, and correspondingly, a limiting post 581 corresponding to the limiting groove 582 can be provided on the bracket assembly 5, or the limiting post 581 can be provided inside the housing 1. Both the limiting post 581 and the limiting groove 582 extend along the Z-direction. Thus, during the sliding process of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the limiting post 581 can slide out or in from the limiting groove 582 to limit the sliding position of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0072] For example, the number of 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 conductors 22 are moved by one operating member 3, three limiting grooves 582 can be continuously set on the bracket assembly 5 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 move one conductor 22 in two of the positions, and the operating member 3 does not contact the two conductors 22 in the third position.

[0073] In another example, a compression spring can be provided between the limiting post 581 and the trigger member 31, so that the limiting post 581 can move relative to the limiting groove 582 in the arrangement direction Z by means of the compression spring. Alternatively, the limiting groove 582 (provided on a separate part) can be slidably disposed on the bracket assembly 5 in the arrangement direction Z, and a compression spring can be provided between the limiting groove 582 and the bracket assembly 5, so that the limiting groove 582 can move relative to the limiting post 581 in the arrangement direction Z.

[0074] In the above embodiments, since the limiting structure 58 is configured to include a limiting post 581 and a limiting groove 582, the operating member 3 can be slidably fixed (not arbitrarily slidable) on the housing 1 along the sliding direction Y by sliding the limiting post 581 among multiple limiting grooves 582. Furthermore, at least one of the limiting post 581 and the limiting groove 582 can reciprocate in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction Z. During the process of controlling the sliding of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, the limiting post 581 and the limiting groove 582 can also generate movement along the arrangement direction Z, which can reduce the resistance of the operating member 3 sliding relative to the housing 1 and facilitate user operation.

[0075] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the control switch also includes a seal 4, which is located inside the sealing cavity and on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the operating member 3. The seal 4 has a reset part 41, which is located between the conductor 22 and the operating member 3. The conductor 22 is fixed to the reset part 41. The reset part 41 can generate deformation along the arrangement direction Z to drive the conductor 22 to move away from the control contact 211.

[0076] In this embodiment, a seal 4 can be provided inside the control switch to further seal the circuit board 21. The seal 4 can be made of a material with good insulating properties, such as silicone, rubber, or plastic.

[0077] 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. The seal 4 can be placed inside the sealing cavity of the bracket assembly 5 to isolate the circuit board 21 from the second through hole 54, etc., on the bracket assembly 5.

[0078] 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 operating member 3. For example, the reset part 41 can be a protrusion in the shape of a cone or cylinder, which extends from the seal 4 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 sliding the operating member 3 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.

[0079] In another example, the seal 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 seal 4 by the fixing part 44. 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 of the seal 4, and the multiple hook-shaped structures serve as fixing parts 44, the circuit board 21 can be fixed to the seal 4 by the multiple hook-shaped structures. In this way, during the assembly of the circuit board 21 and the seal 4, the circuit board 21 can be fixedly connected to the seal 4 by 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 seal 4 in the support assembly 5.

[0080] In the above embodiments, since a sealing element 4 is also provided inside the sealed cavity, 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 a structure on the conductive element 22 to guide its movement relative to the control contact 211, and simplifies the structure of the control switch.

[0081] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bracket assembly 5 has a guide hole 57 corresponding to the reset part 41. The control switch also includes a pressing post 7 that matches the guide hole 57. The pressing post 7 passes through the guide hole 57 and abuts against the reset part 41. During the sliding process of the operating member 3 relative to the housing 1, it can drive the pressing post 7 to move relative to the control contact 211.

[0082] In this embodiment, the operating member 3 can drive the pressing post 7 to move relative to the reset part 41, so that the reset part 41 drives the conducting member 22 to move relative to the control contact 211. The pressing post 7 can be configured as a cylinder or the like.

[0083] For example, a guide hole 57 corresponding to the reset part 41 can be provided on the bracket assembly 5. The guide hole 57 extends through the bracket assembly 5 in a direction perpendicular to the circuit board 21 (arrangement direction Z), and the pressing post 7 passes through the guide hole 57. A clearance fit can be used between the guide hole 57 and the pressing post 7, 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. The end of the pressing post 7 facing the operating member 3 can protrude from the guide hole 57, and the end of the pressing post 7 facing the reset part 41 contacts the reset part 41.

[0084] In the above embodiment, since a guide hole 57 is opened in the area of ​​the bracket assembly 5 corresponding to the reset part 41, and the pressing post 7 is inserted through the guide hole 57, when the operating member 3 moves, the radial movement of the pressing post 7 can be constrained and guided by the guide hole 57, so that the pressing post 7 always moves along a straight trajectory perpendicular to the circuit board 21. This can reduce the skew, shaking or jamming of the pressing post 7 during the movement, improve the stability of the pressing member in making the control contact 211 turn on or off, and facilitate the installation of the pressing post 7 on the bracket assembly 5.

[0085] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bracket assembly 5 includes a support member 51 and a cover member 52. The support member 51 has a receiving groove 53 that matches both 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. The cover member 52 has a second through hole 54 corresponding to the reset part 41. The operating member 3 drives the reset part 41 to move towards the control contact 211 through the second through hole 54.

[0086] 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.

[0087] For example, a second through hole 54 can be provided on the cover plate 52, that is, the circuit board 21 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 53, and the seal 4 is located on the side of the circuit board 21 near the opening of the receiving groove 53, so that the reset part 41 can pass through the second through hole 54 to the outside of the bracket assembly 5.

[0088] In another example, the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52 can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For instance, 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, thereby fixing the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51 together through the engagement of the buckles 55 and grooves 56. In this way, during the assembly of the carrier 51 and the cover plate 52, the cover plate 52 is simply placed on the carrier 51 and pressed together, which simplifies the assembly steps of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51.

[0089] Another example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 The control switch can be equipped with a connector 6 to electrically connect the circuit board 21 to the electric vehicle controller. For example, multiple connector pins can be provided on the circuit board 21, and each pin can be soldered to a printed circuit on the circuit board 21 for electrical connection. A pin header connector 62 matching the connector pins can also be provided, allowing the connector pins to be plugged into the pin header 61 for electrical connection. 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, allowing the connector 6 to extend outside the sealed cavity through the through hole. A sealing element (such as sealant) can be provided between the pin header connector 62 and the through hole to seal the sealed cavity. In this way, during the assembly of the control switch, the steps of soldering multiple wires separately can be reduced, which not only facilitates the electrical connection between the control switch and the controller but also reduces the assembly steps of the control switch.

[0090] In the above embodiments, the support assembly is configured to include a carrier 51 and a cover plate 52, which facilitates the processing of the bracket assembly 5. Furthermore, the carrier 51 is provided with a receiving groove 53, in which the circuit board 21 and the sealing member 4 can be stacked. 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.

[0091] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sealing member 4 has a raised ring 42 on the side facing the cover plate member 52. The raised ring 42 surrounds the sealing member 4 around the edge of the sealing member 4. Along the covering direction of the cover plate member 52 and the carrier member 51, the raised ring 42 abuts against the cover plate member 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 member 4.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, when the sealing member 4 is stacked on the side of the circuit board 21 near the cover plate 52, a protruding ring 42 can be provided on the side of the sealing member 4 facing the cover plate 52. The protruding ring 42 surrounds the sealing member 4 along the edge of the sealing member 4, that is, the protruding ring 42 is a complete ring. Figure 4 As shown, all reset parts 41 can be located within the area enclosed by the protruding ring 42 on the seal 4.

[0093] For example, along the covering direction of the cover plate 52 and the carrier 51 ( Figure 5 The arrangement direction Z shown allows the height of the convex ring 42 to 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 support member 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. This ensures a tight fit between the convex ring 42 and the cover plate 52, meaning an interference fit between the convex ring 42 and the cover plate 52 along the covering direction.

[0094] 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.

[0095] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sealing member 4 has a first sealing groove (not shown) on the side facing the cover plate 52. The first sealing groove surrounds the sealing member 4 around its edge. A filler (not shown) is provided in the first sealing groove and is connected to the cover plate 52. 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 bearing member 51 enclose a second sealing groove. A filler is provided 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.

[0096] In this embodiment, a filler can be provided between the seal 4 and the support assembly to further seal the receiving groove 53. For example, a sealing groove for receiving the filler can be provided on the seal 4 to accommodate and fix the filler. The filler can be selected from sealant, sealing ring, etc.

[0097] For example, it can be done in seal 4 (such as Figure 4 The sealing member 4, located below the circuit board 21, has a first sealing groove on its surface facing the circuit board 21. The first sealing groove is an annular groove surrounding the sealing member 4. For example, two annular protrusions can be provided on the sealing member 4, each annular protrusion surrounding the edge of the sealing member 4, with a gap between the two annular protrusions, thereby forming the first sealing groove. The reset part 41 can be placed in the area formed by the first sealing groove on the sealing member 4. In this way, during the process of attaching the sealing member 4 to the circuit board 21, the edge of the first sealing groove can abut against the circuit board 21, thereby sealing 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.

[0098] Another example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a stepped structure 43 can be provided on the side of the seal 4 facing the cover plate 52. The stepped structure 43 is a structure that sinks downward along the thickness direction (arrangement 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". 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.

[0099] 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 closing direction of the cover plate 52 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 cover plate 52 or the carrier 51. The height of the filler in the second sealing groove along the closing direction is greater than the distance between the bottom of the stepped structure 43 and the cover plate 52, so as to press the filler against the second sealing groove and the cover plate 52 through the cover plate 52.

[0100] 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.

[0101] In some possible embodiments of this application, the control contact 211 includes printed circuitry; and / or, each of the opposite sides of the circuit board 21 has at least one control contact 211.

[0102] 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.

[0103] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As 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. Figure 6 Located below the support assembly 5, a guide assembly 9 can be provided for this operating element 3. The guide assembly 9 is fixed in the receiving cavity, and the operating element 3 is slidably disposed in the control switch via the guide assembly 9. In this way, both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 of the control switch have operating elements 3.

[0104] 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. With control contacts 211 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 reduce mutual interference between multiple operating elements 3, thereby reducing the design and assembly difficulty of the control switch.

[0105] In addition, this application embodiment also provides an electric vehicle, which includes: a vehicle body, a running mechanism, a handlebar, and a control switch provided in any of the above embodiments; wherein, the running mechanism is disposed on the vehicle body and is capable of driving the vehicle body to move; the handlebar is disposed on the vehicle body; the control switch is disposed on the handlebar, and the circuit component 2 is electrically connected to the running mechanism through the controller of the electric vehicle.

[0106] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle can be a two-wheeled electric bicycle, a three-wheeled electric vehicle, an electric scooter, an electric moped, an electric motorcycle, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific type of electric vehicle. The vehicle body can be the structure that carries and installs other components of the electric vehicle, and the vehicle body may include a frame, shell, seat, cushion, etc.

[0107] In this embodiment, the walking mechanism may include a drive mechanism and wheels. The wheels can be rotatably mounted on the underside of the vehicle body. The drive mechanism may include an electric motor and a power battery. The electric motor may be mounted on the vehicle body and connected to the wheels via a transmission connection. The power battery may include multiple secondary batteries (capable of cyclic charging and discharging). The power battery is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the electric motor.

[0108] In this embodiment, the handlebars are mounted on the vehicle body, and the steering wheel is connected to the handlebars. Rotating the handlebars can drive the steering wheel to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the electric vehicle. The control switch provided in any of the above embodiments can be fixed to the handlebars via the mounting structure 13, and the circuit board 21 can be electrically connected to the controller via the connector 6. This allows the control switch to input control signals to the controller.

[0109] The electric vehicle provided in this application includes the control switch provided in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, the number of parts in the control switch can be reduced, which helps to simplify the assembly steps of the control switch, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the control switch and / or facilitating the automated production of the control switch.
