Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive combination switches, specifically a novel combination switch. Background Technology
[0002] A combination switch in a car is a multi-functional switch that integrates wiper control (high speed, low speed, intermittent, off), turn signal (left / right turn / lane change), headlight switch (high beam, low beam, overtaking), and washer button. It is typically a handle-type switch mounted on the steering column below the steering wheel for easy driver operation. Traditional combination switches include a left handle and a right handle. The base of the combination switch also houses left and right PCB boards, which are connected to the respective boards. Furthermore, the left and right PCB boards require wiring harnesses and adapters for connection, adding steps and material consumption during assembly. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the problem of increased processing steps and material consumption caused by the need for additional connection between the left and right PCB boards in traditional combination switches.
[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: A novel combination switch includes a handle base, a left handle, and a right handle. Both the left and right handles include a handle switch and a handle base. The head of the handle switch is hinged to the handle base. Both the left and right handles are mounted on the handle base via the handle base. The handle base includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover includes a top cover, a bottom cover, and a PCB board. Both the top and bottom covers include a left cover portion and a right cover portion. The left cover portion and the right cover portion are connected by an arc-shaped groove cover. The PCB board includes a left PCB board and a right PCB board. The left PCB board and the right PCB board are connected by an arc-shaped PCB board and are connected by internal PCB traces. After the top and bottom covers are connected, the PCB board is fixed inside the lower cover, and the arc-shaped PCB board is located inside the arc-shaped groove cover. The top cover of the upper cover and the top cover of the lower cover are connected to form the handle base.
[0005] The left and right PCB boards of this utility model combination switch are connected by internal PCB wiring, eliminating the need for wire harnesses and wire harness adapters used in the connection of the left and right PCB boards in traditional combination switches, and also eliminating the connection process during installation.
[0006] The aforementioned novel combination switch has screw holes on the top cover and a guide rail on the top cover. The handle base also has mounting protrusions. The ends of the left and right handle mounting positions on the handle base are provided with insertion holes that mate with the mounting protrusions. The side walls of the left and right handle mounting positions are also provided with sliding grooves that mate with the guide rail.
[0007] The aforementioned novel combination switch has mounting protrusions consisting of a protrusion portion on the upper cover and a protrusion portion on the lower cover.
[0008] This invention redesigns a handle base that connects the left and right PCB boards into a single unit, saving on the wiring harnesses and adapters used to connect the left and right PCB boards. This makes assembly simpler for workers, improves performance stability, and enhances anti-interference capabilities. Attached Figure Description

[0018] A novel combination switch includes a handle base 1, a left handle 2 and a right handle 3. Both the left handle 2 and the right handle 3 include a handle switch 4 and a handle base. The head of the handle switch and the handle base are hinged together.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the left handle 2 and the right handle 3 are mounted on the handle base 1.
[0020] like Figure 3As shown, both the left handle 2 and the right handle 3 include a handle switch 4 and a handle base. The handle base includes an upper cover 5 and a lower cover 6, which are connected by screws. The upper cover 5 is provided with screw holes 7 and a guide rail 8. The handle base is also provided with a mounting protrusion 9, which is composed of the protrusion part on the upper cover 5 and the protrusion part on the lower cover 6.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, a mounting hole 10 is provided in the middle of the handle base 1. The handle base 1 is mounted on the steering column of the vehicle through the mounting hole 10. The left and right sides of the mounting hole 10 are the left handle mounting position and the right handle mounting position, respectively. Both the left and right handle mounting positions have insertion holes 11 at their ends that mate with the mounting protrusion 9. Figure 5 As shown, the side walls of the left and right handle mounting positions are also provided with slide grooves 12 that mate with the guide rail 8.
[0022] During installation of the left handle 2 and right handle 3, the upper cover 5 first slides into the handle mounting position via the guide rail 8. Once in place, the protruding part of the upper cover 5 inserts into the socket 11. Then, the upper cover 5 is connected to the handle base 1 via the screw hole 7 (the upper cover 5 is installed on the back of the handle base 1). After the handle switch 4 is in the hinged position, the upper cover 5 is connected to the lower cover 6 via screws. After connection, the protruding part of the lower cover 6 is also inserted into the socket 11. The right handle switch 4 is installed as follows... Figure 6 As shown.
[0023] like Figure 7 As shown, the lower cover 6 includes a top cover 61, a bottom cover 62, and a PCB board 63. Both the top cover 61 and the bottom cover 62 include a left cover portion and a right cover portion, which are connected by an arc-shaped groove cover 64. The PCB board 63 includes a left PCB board and a right PCB board, which are connected by an arc-shaped PCB board. After connection, the PCB board 63 forms a single integrated structure, with the left and right PCB boards connected by internal PCB traces. After the top cover 61 and bottom cover 62 are connected, the PCB board 63 is fixed inside the lower cover, and the arc-shaped PCB board is located within the arc-shaped groove cover. The upper cover 5 of this combination switch handle base adopts a split structure, while the lower cover 6 adopts a one-piece structure, with the PCB board 63 in the lower cover 6 forming a single integrated structure.
