Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicle or motorcycle accessories, specifically to a rocker-type compact combination switch and a handle. Background Technology

[0002] Combination switches are the control center on electric vehicles and motorcycles, serving as a primary module for human-machine interaction. The aesthetically pleasing design of combination switch housings, often made into a rounded spherical shape, severely limits installation space. Traditional solutions involve multiple buttons horizontally distributed on a panel, mounted on separate circuit boards. This lack of compact spatial integration between components drastically increases the difficulty of installation within a compact housing, as each individual component requires its own mounting location and fixing structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rocker-type compact combination switch and handle to solve the problem of centralized control of multiple buttons in a limited installation space.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A rocker-type compact combination switch, comprising: shell; A base is installed inside the outer casing, and the base has a mounting groove. Circuit board one is disposed in the mounting slot, and circuit board one is provided with several buttons; The joystick assembly includes a mounting base and a joystick that can be oscillatingly mounted on the mounting base.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the size of the mounting base is adapted to the mounting groove, and the mounting base and the inner wall of the mounting groove are engaged.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a second circuit board, which abuts against the mounting base. The second circuit board has a through hole corresponding to the position of the rocker arm. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the rocker arm so that the rocker arm can pass through and swing.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, an indicator is installed on the outer shell corresponding to the position of the rocker arm. The indicator is a hollow structure, which is used for the rocker arm to extend out.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the indicator presses the second circuit board onto the mounting base; a plurality of positioning posts extend from the indicator toward the second circuit board, and positioning holes are provided on both the second circuit board and the mounting base at positions corresponding to the positioning posts, and the positioning posts pass through the positioning holes of both the second circuit board and the mounting base.

[0011] A handle is also provided, including a handle housing and a rocker-type compact combination switch as described in any of the preceding claims, mounted on the handle housing.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are that it replaces multiple independent buttons by using a rocker arm, reducing the horizontal space occupied; while the mounting base is inserted into the mounting slot by a snap-fit ​​method, the circuit board is clamped and fixed between the bottom of the mounting slot and the mounting base, eliminating the need for a separate circuit board fixing structure and saving vertical space and assembly steps.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, a rocker-type compact combination switch according to this embodiment includes: Outer shell 1; The base 2 is installed inside the outer casing 1, and the base 2 has an installation groove 21. Circuit board 3 is located in mounting slot 21, and several buttons 31 are provided on circuit board 3. The joystick assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41 and a joystick 42 that can be oscillatingly mounted on the mounting base 41. The mounting base 41 is installed in the mounting slot 21 and is connected to the base 2 by a snap-fit ​​method. The joystick 42 cooperates with several buttons 31 and triggers the corresponding buttons 31 by oscillating. Circuit board 3 is clamped and fixed between the bottom of the mounting slot 21 and the mounting base 41.

[0017] In the above structure, the base 2 is installed inside the outer casing 1, and the mounting groove 21 on the base 2 provides installation space for the circuit board 3 and the rocker arm assembly 4. The circuit board 3 is placed at the bottom of the mounting groove 21, and multiple buttons 31 are arranged on it. The buttons 31 can be arranged in a circular or cross pattern, corresponding to the swing directions of the rocker arm 42. The outer side of the mounting base 41 is provided with elastic buckles, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 21 is provided with corresponding slots or platforms. When the mounting base 41 is pressed down into the mounting groove 21, the elastic buckles deform elastically and engage with the slots or platforms, realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the mounting base 41 and the base 2. At the same time as the mounting base 41 is snapped into place, the bottom surface of the mounting base 41 presses the circuit board 3 firmly against the bottom of the groove, so that the circuit board 3 is clamped and fixed between the bottom of the groove and the mounting base 41. Since the mounting base 41 simultaneously serves as the mounting foundation for the operating rocker arm 42 and the clamping and fixing of the circuit board 3, there is no need to provide additional screws or independent clips for fixing the circuit board 3, reducing the number of parts and saving vertical space. During operation, the rocker arm 42 is moved in different directions, causing its lower end to touch the corresponding button 31 on the circuit board 3, triggering the corresponding control function. Compared to the traditional method of horizontally distributing multiple independent buttons 31 on the panel, the rocker arm 42 concentrates multiple buttons 31 into one operating area, significantly reducing the horizontal space occupied, allowing the entire combination switch to be installed within a compact housing 1, such as a spherical shape.

[0018] To improve the waterproof capability of the switch, a waterproof film 5 is added between the circuit board 3 and the mounting base 41, with the side of the waterproof film 5 covering the edge of the circuit board 3.

[0019] A waterproof film 5 covers the upper surface of the circuit board 3, and its sides extend to cover the edges of the circuit board 3. When moisture or liquid seeps in from the gaps in the housing 1 or the rocker arm 42, the waterproof film 5 prevents the liquid from contacting the circuits and buttons 31 on the circuit board 3, thus providing waterproof protection.

[0020] Based on this, the waterproof film 5 is pressed onto the circuit board 3 through the connection between the mounting base 41 and the base 2.

[0021] When the mounting base 41 snaps into the base 2, it applies downward pressure to the waterproof membrane 5, pressing it firmly onto the circuit board 3. This clamping force originates from the existing snap-fit ​​connection between the mounting base 41 and the base 2, thus eliminating the need for a separate sealing ring or sealing groove for the waterproof membrane 5. This achieves multiple uses for the snap-fit ​​connection; the same snap-fit ​​action simultaneously secures the mounting base 41, clamps the circuit board 3, and presses and seals the waterproof membrane 5, further simplifying the structure and improving space utilization.

[0022] To ensure the installation stability of the mounting base 41, the size of the mounting base 41 is adapted to the mounting groove 21, and the mounting base 41 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 21 are engaged.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to expand the functionality within a limited space, a second circuit board 6 is also included. The second circuit board 6 abuts against the mounting base 41. A through hole is provided on the second circuit board 6 at the position corresponding to the rocker arm 42. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the rocker arm 42 so that the rocker arm 42 can pass through and swing.

[0024] Circuit board 2 (6) is placed on the upper surface of mounting base 41, forming a second circuit board. The through-hole on circuit board 2 (6) corresponds to the rocker arm 42, and the diameter of the through-hole is larger than the outer diameter of the rocker arm 42, allowing the rocker arm 42 to pass through the through-hole, facilitating the installation of circuit board 2 (6) and preventing interference with the hole wall during swinging. Circuit board 2 (6) can support additional electronic components, achieving functional expansion without significantly increasing the overall size. Mounting base 41, while serving to press circuit board 1 (3) against the wall, also acts as a support platform for circuit board 2 (6), demonstrating the multi-functional use of the components.

[0025] Circuit board 3 and circuit board 6 are electrically connected via an electrical connector. Specifically, a plug-in cable can be used to connect the two circuit boards by bypassing the outside of the mounting base 41, or a plug-in can be used to penetrate the waterproof membrane 5 and the mounting base 41 and connect to circuit board 6. The plug-in forms a sealed fit with the waterproof membrane 5 at the point where it penetrates the waterproof membrane 5.

[0026] In order to cover and protect the circuit board 6, an indicator 7 is installed on the outer casing 1 at the position corresponding to the rocker arm 42. The indicator 7 has a hollow structure, which is used to allow the rocker arm 42 to extend out.

[0027] The indicator 7 is installed at the opening of the housing 1, covering the circuit board 6 and concealing the upper structure of the circuit board 6 and the mounting base 41 beneath it, serving both aesthetic and protective functions. The cutout structure on the indicator 7 corresponds to the position of the rocker arm 42, which extends from the cutout structure.

[0028] Specifically, the following method can be selected for further optimization: the indicator 7 presses the second circuit board 6 onto the mounting base 41; several positioning posts 71 extend from the indicator 7 toward the second circuit board 6; positioning holes 8 are provided on the second circuit board 6 and the mounting base 41 at the positions corresponding to the positioning posts 71; the positioning posts 71 pass through the positioning holes 8 of the second circuit board 6 and the positioning holes 8 of the mounting base 41 at the same time.

[0029] When the indicator 7 is installed in place, its lower surface presses against the second circuit board 6, pressing the second circuit board 6 firmly against the upper surface of the mounting base 41, so that the second circuit board 6 can remain stable without the need for a separate fastener. The positioning pins 71 on the indicator 7 pass through the positioning holes 8 of the second circuit board 6 and the positioning holes 8 of the mounting base 41 in sequence, thereby accurately positioning the two parts on the horizontal plane.

[0030] A handle is also provided, including a handle housing and a rocker-type compact combination switch as described in any previous embodiment, mounted on the handle housing.

[0031] The above embodiments will be combined below to describe the overall operation of the rocker-type compact combination switch.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
