Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motorcycle technology, and more specifically, it relates to a turn signal button structure and a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle turn signal buttons need to function as left turn, right turn, and cancel turn signal. The current button design has a poor tactile feel when operating, which affects the refinement requirements of high-end models. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turn signal button structure and a motorcycle, aiming to improve the refined feel of button operation and enhance the overall high-end quality of the vehicle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a turn signal button structure, comprising: The button bracket has a left-side button, a middle button, and a right-side button installed sequentially along its left-right direction; A steering rocker arm is rotatably mounted on the button bracket via a pivot. The steering lever is slidably fitted into the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm; The elastic buffer assembly, constrained by the steering lever, has its lower end elastically pressed against the guide surface on the button bracket; and The button lever has its lower end passing through a through hole in the steering rocker arm and connected to the steering stalk. When the button lever is moved to the left, it causes the steering rocker arm to swing to the left and press the left-side button to turn on the left turn signal. When the button lever is moved to the right, it causes the steering rocker arm to swing to the right and press the right-side button to turn on the right turn signal. When the button lever is pressed down, it pushes the steering lever down to press the center button and cancels the turn signal indication. The elastic buffer component swings left and right along the guide surface as the steering rocker arm and the steering lever swing, and resets the button lever; and when the middle button is pressed, the lower end of the elastic buffer component elastically presses against the lowest position of the guide surface.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the turn signal button structure provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the turn signal button structure of this utility model is equipped with a steering lever and an elastic buffer component that are limited by the steering rocker arm. When the button lever is moved, the steering rocker arm swings left and right, which in turn causes the elastic buffer component to swing. During the swing, the elastic buffer component is gradually subjected to the rebound force formed by compression. This force is fed back to the tactile feedback through the steering rocker arm and the button lever, so that the tactile feedback can be experienced during the turn signal activation process, thereby improving the sense of refinement when operating the button.

[0006] The operation process of this application is as follows: When the left turn signal needs to be turned on, when the button lever is moved to the left, the upper part of the steering rocker arm swings to the left around the pivot point to press the left button and turn on the left turn signal; at the same time, the steering lever and the elastic buffer component swing to the right. At this time, the elastic buffer component slides to the right along the guide curve, and the space gradually decreases and is elastically compressed. The rebound force of the elastic buffer component is transmitted to the button lever along the steering lever and fed back to the feel; when the button lever is released, the steering lever, the button lever and the steering rocker arm return to their original positions under the rebound force of the elastic buffer component, and the button lever is in a vertical position.

[0007] When the right turn signal needs to be turned on, moving the button lever to the right causes the upper part of the steering rocker arm to swing to the right around the pivot point, pressing the right-hand button to turn on the right turn signal. At the same time, the steering lever and the elastic buffer assembly swing to the left. At this time, the elastic buffer assembly slides to the left along the guide curve, and the space gradually decreases and it is elastically compressed. The rebound force of the elastic buffer assembly is transmitted to the button lever along the steering lever and fed back to the feel. When the button lever is released, the steering lever, button lever and steering rocker arm return to their original positions under the rebound force of the elastic buffer assembly, and the button lever is in a vertical position.

[0008] To cancel the steering indication, press down on the steering lever and then push the steering lever to press the center button.

[0009] Because the center button and the guide surface are misaligned on the button bracket, the elastic buffer component is always under pressure and limited between the steering lever and the button bracket. The elastic buffer component also supports the steering lever within the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm. When the elastic buffer component is in the reset state, the steering lever does not contact the center button. Therefore, the lower end of the elastic buffer component is always elastically pressed against the lowest point of the guide surface, whether in the vertical or reset state.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the left and right sides of the steering rocker arm are respectively provided with a left pressing part for pressing the left-direction button and a right pressing part for pressing the right-direction button.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the left and right pressing parts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the steering rocker arm, so that the corresponding left and right buttons are pressed when the steering rocker arm swings left and right. The left and right pressing parts, positioned to the left and right respectively, can fully contact the corresponding buttons, thereby improving the sensitivity and effectiveness of the turn signal activation.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the elastic buffer assembly includes an elastic element and a pivot column, the steering lever has a guide hole that slides with the pivot column, and the elastic element is arranged in the guide hole and confined between the pivot column and the steering lever.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the swing column is kept in a compressed state by the steering lever restricting the elastic element and pressing against the guide surface, so as to achieve real-time contact with the guide surface.

[0014] The purpose of the elastic buffer component in this application is to improve the feel of the steering operation and reset the button lever after release. Operationally, when the button lever is moved to activate the turn signal, it resets upon release, eliminating the need to continuously press and hold the lever to keep the turn signal on. When steering is no longer needed, regardless of whether the left or right turn signal is activated, the button lever can be pressed to cancel the turn signal. Therefore, the cooperation between the elastic buffer component, the steering lever, and the button lever avoids the risk of accidental turn signal activation. For example, it avoids the problem of needing to move the button lever to the right to activate the right turn signal when canceling a left turn, because the button lever in this application does not require manual reset.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the lower end of the pendulum forms a conical head that abuts against the guide surface.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the conical head set at the lower end of the pendulum column, and the contact point of the conical head is an arc-shaped surface, reduces the contact area between the pendulum column and the guide surface, so that the pendulum column and the guide surface form a point-to-point contact, thereby improving the smoothness of the pendulum column during the swing process, and thus providing feedback to the smoothness of the feel.

[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the guide surface has a V-shaped structure, having a left conical surface and a right conical surface; the left conical surface and the right conical surface together form the lowest position; the left conical surface and the right conical surface each have a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface with different inclination angles, wherein the inclination angle of the first inclined surface closer to the lowest position is greater than that of the second inclined surface farther from the lowest position, so that when the pendulum swings, the compressed elastic element exhibits different elastic forces.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the guide surface is not a conventional structure, but a V-shaped structure with a clear included angle. Through this lowest included angle, the lower end of the steering column can be stably located at this lowest position, keeping the steering column vertical when not subjected to external force from the steering lever. The guide surface is also different from a conventional V-shape because the two side cones that make up the V-shape are inclined surfaces with different inclination angles. When the steering lever is moved, the lever is subjected to varying forces, which, when applied to the elastic element, result in different degrees of compression and different elastic forces. These different elastic forces, when fed back to the tactile feedback, produce different sensations, thus reflecting a refined feel during steering operations.

[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the steering lever is provided with an upwardly protruding protrusion, and the guide hole extends into the protrusion to expand the confined space of the elastic buffer assembly; the steering rocker arm is correspondingly provided with a clearance hole to avoid the protrusion.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the upward protrusion of the steering lever lengthens the guide hole, thereby providing more space for the arrangement of the elastic element. In this way, a longer elastic element can be arranged in the guide hole of the same diameter, so that the elastic element can obtain greater elastic deformation, improve the feedback force when the elastic element is pressed, and improve the elastic reset force.

[0021] This design also reduces the overall size of the structure because the protrusion on the steering lever expands the restricted space for the elastic element, thus forming a compact structure that facilitates the miniaturization of the entire structure.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, a supporting step is formed around the protrusion, and a limiting step is formed on the steering rocker arm to abut against the supporting step, thereby limiting the steering lever. Therefore, even with an clearance hole provided on the steering rocker arm, both a supporting step and a limiting step for limiting the steering lever are simultaneously formed, reliably limiting the steering lever.

[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, a guide groove is provided in the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm, and a guide portion adapted to the guide groove is provided on the side of the steering lever.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the guide groove provided in the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm has the function of guiding and preventing rotation when the steering lever slides, preventing the steering lever from rotating relative to the steering rocker arm when it swings with the button lever.

[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the lower edge of the steering lever is provided with a flange, and the lower end of the steering rocker arm abuts against the flange.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the flange set on the lower edge of the steering lever provides a certain support for the lower end of the steering rocker arm. At the same time, due to the elastic support of the elastic element for the steering lever, the lower end of the steering rocker arm also has a certain limiting effect on the steering lever.

[0027] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides a motorcycle, including the aforementioned turn signal button structure.

[0028] The motorcycle provided in this embodiment of the utility model, due to the adoption of this turn signal button structure, allows users to feel the refinement brought by the change of hand when turning, thereby enhancing the brand value of the model. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other element. It should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 11 The turn signal button structure provided by this utility model will now be described. The turn signal button structure includes a button bracket 4, a steering rocker arm 3, a steering lever 8, an elastic buffer assembly 9, and a button lever 2. A left-hand button 5, a middle button 10, and a right-hand button 6 are sequentially installed along the left-right direction of the button bracket 4; wherein the left-hand button 5, the middle button 10, and the right-hand button 6 can be arranged in a straight line or staggered. For example, in the figures of this application, the middle button 10 is not on the line connecting the left-hand button 5 and the right-hand button 6.

[0035] The steering rocker arm 3 is rotatably mounted on the button bracket 4 via the pivot 7. The steering rocker arm 3 is a housing type with a mounting cavity for fitting the steering lever 8. Since the steering rocker arm 3 is connected to the button bracket 4 via the pivot 7, it is relatively fixed in the height direction, providing support for the steering lever 8 and the button lever 2.

[0036] The steering lever 8 slides within the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm 3; the steering lever 8 is limited within the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm 3 by the elastic buffer component 9. The steering rocker arm 3 restricts the elastic buffer component to the button bracket 4 via the steering lever 8. The steering lever 8 can slide downward to press the center button 10 when pushed by the button lever 2.

[0037] The elastic buffer component 9 is constrained by the steering lever 8, and its lower end elastically presses against the guide surface 42 on the button bracket 4; the elastic buffer component 9 is constrained by the steering lever 8, and the steering lever 8 is limited between the steering rocker arms 3. Therefore, the elastic buffer component 9 and the steering lever 8 are constrained between the steering rocker arms 3 and the button bracket 4.

[0038] The lower end of the button lever 2 passes through the through hole on the steering rocker arm 3 and connects to the steering lever 8. When the button lever 2 is moved to the left, the steering rocker arm 3 swings to the left to press the left button 5 to turn on the left turn signal. When the button lever 2 is moved to the right, the steering rocker arm 3 swings to the right to press the right button 6 to turn on the right turn signal. When the button lever 2 is pressed down, the steering lever 8 is pushed down to press the middle button 10 to cancel the turn signal. The elastic buffer component 9 swings left and right along the guide surface 42 with the swing of the steering rocker arm 3 and the steering lever 8, and resets the button lever 2. When the middle button 10 is pressed, the lower end of the elastic buffer component 9 elastically presses against the lowest position of the guide surface 42.

[0039] The beneficial effects of the turn signal button structure provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the turn signal button structure of this utility model is equipped with a steering lever 8 and an elastic buffer component that are restricted by the steering rocker arm 3. When the button lever 2 is moved, the steering rocker arm 3 swings left and right, which in turn causes the elastic buffer component 9 to swing. During the swing, the elastic buffer component 9 is gradually subjected to the rebound force formed by compression. This force is fed back to the tactile feedback through the steering rocker arm 3 and the button lever 2, so that the tactile feedback can be experienced during the turn signal activation process, thereby improving the sense of refinement when operating the button.

[0040] After the turn signal is activated by toggling the lever 2 and then released, the lever 2 returns to a vertical position. If the lever 2 is not pressed to trigger the middle button 10, the turn signal will remain on. The turn signal can be kept on continuously without continuously toggling the lever 2. The turn signal is in three different positions for turning left, right, and canceling, all of which require manual operation. There is no need to worry about accidental operation due to high frequency of use, which could affect safe driving.

[0041] The guide surface 42 and the matching elastic buffer component 9 provided on the button bracket 4 in this application are mainly intended to provide users with a refined feel during the turn signal button operation, increase the added value of high-end models, and provide a reset function for the button lever 2. The button bracket 4 is a fixed component, and the guide surface 42 does not need to bear the function of switching the turn signal on and off.

[0042] The applicant discovered that some existing handlebar turn signal buttons also use conductive rockers with guide surfaces 42. However, these guide surfaces 42 are the curved surfaces of the rockers themselves, and are used to swing the rockers left and right to connect or disconnect the turn signal circuit. The location and purpose of the guide surfaces 42 are different from those in this application.

[0043] The operation process of this application is as follows: When the left turn signal needs to be turned on, when the button lever 2 is moved to the left, the upper part of the steering rocker arm 3 swings to the left around the pivot 7 to press the left button 5 to turn on the left turn signal; at the same time, the steering lever 8 and the elastic buffer component 9 swing to the right. At this time, the elastic buffer component 9 slides to the right along the guide surface 42, and the space gradually decreases and is elastically compressed. The rebound force of the elastic buffer component 9 will be transmitted to the button lever 2 along the steering lever 8 and fed back to the feel; when the button lever 2 is released, the steering lever 8, the button lever 2 and the steering rocker arm 3 are reset under the rebound force of the elastic buffer component 9, and the button lever 2 is in a vertical state.

[0044] When the right turn signal needs to be turned on, moving the button lever 2 to the right causes the steering rocker arm 3 to swing to the right around the pivot 7, pressing the right button 6 to turn on the right turn signal. At the same time, the steering lever 8 and the elastic buffer assembly 9 swing to the left. At this time, the elastic buffer assembly 9 slides to the left along the guide surface 42, and the space gradually decreases and it is elastically compressed. The rebound force of the elastic buffer assembly 9 is transmitted to the button lever 2 along the steering lever 8 and is fed back to the feel. When the button lever 2 is released, the steering lever 8, the button lever 2 and the steering rocker arm 3 return to their original positions under the rebound force of the elastic buffer assembly 9, and the button lever 2 is in a vertical position.

[0045] When you need to cancel the steering indication, press down on the button lever 2, push the steering lever 8 to press the middle button 10, and the steering indication will be canceled.

[0046] Because the middle button 10 and the guide surface 42 are misaligned on the button bracket 4, the elastic buffer component 9 is always under pressure and limited between the steering lever 8 and the button bracket 4. The elastic buffer component 9 also supports the steering lever 8 within the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm 3. When the elastic buffer component 9 is in the reset state, the steering lever 8 does not contact the middle button 10. Therefore, the lower end of the elastic buffer component 9 is always elastically pressed against the lowest point of the guide surface 42 in both the vertical and reset states.

[0047] As an optional implementation, a lever cover plate 1 is installed on the upper end of the button lever 2. When turning is required, the lever cover plate 1 can be directly touched by hand to swing the button lever 2 left and right, which improves the feel of turning. At the same time, it also improves the appearance and visibility of the handle.

[0048] In the above technical solution, the button bracket 4 is provided with two supports 41, and the steering rocker arm 3 is rotatably connected to the supports 41 through two rotating shafts 7, so that the steering rocker arm 3 can be supported above the button bracket 4.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the left and right sides of the steering rocker arm 3 are respectively provided with a left pressing part 31 for pressing the left-turn button 5 and a right pressing part 32 for pressing the right-turn button 6. The left pressing part 31 and the right pressing part 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the steering rocker arm 3 so that the corresponding left-turn button and right-turn button are pressed when the steering rocker arm 3 swings left and right. Through the left pressing part 31 and the right pressing part 32 arranged on the left and right sides, they can make full contact with the corresponding buttons, thereby improving the sensitivity and effectiveness of the turn signal activation.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic buffer assembly 9 includes an elastic element 91 and a pivot 92. A guide hole 85 is provided within the steering lever 8 to slide against the pivot 92. The elastic element 91 is arranged within the guide hole 85 and confined between the pivot 92 and the steering lever 8. The pivot 92, through the constraint of the steering lever 8 on the elastic element 91, remains compressed and presses against the guide surface 42, achieving real-time contact with the guide surface 42.

[0051] The purpose of the elastic buffer component 9 in this application is to improve the feel during steering operations and to reset the button lever 2 after release. Operationally, when the button lever 2 is moved to activate the turn signal, it resets upon release, eliminating the need to continuously press and hold the lever 2 to maintain the turn signal. When steering is not required, regardless of whether the left or right turn signal is activated, the button lever 2 does not need to be moved again; simply pressing it cancels the turn. Therefore, the cooperation of the elastic buffer component 9, the steering lever 8, and the button lever 2 avoids the risk of accidental turn signal activation. For example, it avoids the problem of needing to move the button lever 2 to the right to activate the right turn signal when canceling a left turn, because the button lever 2 in this application does not require manual reset.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic element 91 is a spring, and the swing column 92 is provided with a limiting blind hole for limiting the elastic element 91. One end of the elastic element 91 extends into the limiting blind hole to prevent the elastic element 91 from deviating from the swing column 92.

[0053] As a parallel embodiment of the assembly of elastic element 91 and swing column 92, a small-diameter limiting post can be provided on the swing column 92, and the elastic element 91 can be fitted onto the small-diameter limiting post. The annular step formed between the small-diameter limiting post and the swing column 92 provides support for the elastic element 91.

[0054] Since the elastic element 91 and the pivot 92 are restricted between the steering lever 8 and the button bracket 4, and the steering lever 8 is restricted by the steering rocker arm 3, which is mounted on the button bracket 4 and fixed in relative position, the elastic element 91 and the pivot 92 in this application do not need to be fixedly connected, and the elastic element 91 and the steering lever 8 do not need to be fixedly connected either, so they can be assembled together; of course, the two ends of the elastic element 91 can also be fixedly connected to the steering lever 8 and the pivot 92.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the lower end of the pendulum 92 forms a conical head that abuts against the guide surface 42. The conical head at the lower end of the pendulum 92, with its contact point being an arc-shaped surface, reduces the contact area between the pendulum 92 and the guide surface 42, allowing for point-to-point contact and thus improving the smoothness of the pendulum 92's sliding during the oscillation process.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 11 As shown, the guide surface 42 has a V-shaped structure with a left cone surface and a right cone surface; the left cone surface and the right cone surface form the lowest position; the left cone surface and the right cone surface each have a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface with different inclination angles, wherein the inclination angle of the first inclined surface closer to the lowest position is greater than that of the second inclined surface farther from the lowest position, so that when the pendulum 92 swings, the compressed elastic element 91 exhibits different elastic forces.

[0057] In the above technical solution, the guide surface 42 is not a conventional structure, but a V-shaped structure with a clear included angle. Through this lowest included angle, the lower end of the lever 92 can be stably located at this lowest position, keeping the lever 92 in a vertical state when it is not subjected to external force from the steering lever 8. The guide surface 42 is also different from a conventional V-shape because the two side cones that make up the V-shape are inclined surfaces with different inclination angles. When the steering lever 2 is moved during the steering operation, the lever 2 is subjected to a changing force. When this force is applied to the elastic element 91, the elastic element 91 is subjected to different degrees of compression, resulting in different elastic forces. These different elastic forces are fed back to the feel, thus presenting different sensations and reflecting a refined feel during steering operation.

[0058] For example, if the first inclined surface near the lowest position has a large inclination angle, which means the slope is relatively steep, then a larger force needs to be applied to the button lever 2 to tilt it. When the lower end of the lever 92 slides to the second inclined surface, the inclination angle becomes smaller and the slope becomes gentler. At this time, the force applied to the button lever 2 is reduced accordingly. Through this change in the applied force, one can feel the refinement brought about by the change in the steering process, which reflects the uniqueness of this model compared to ordinary models.

[0059] Among them, see Figure 7 As shown, the tilt angle of the conical head at the lower end of the pendulum 92 is not less than the tilt angle of the first tilting surface, so as to ensure that the lower end of the pendulum 92 fully contacts the lowest point of the V-shaped structure. For example, the tilt angle of the conical head is 65°, or in other words, the taper a of the conical head is 25°, and the tilt angle b of the first tilting surface is less than 65°, for example, it can be 60°.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 10 The steering lever 8 is provided with an upwardly protruding protrusion 81, and the guide hole 85 extends into the protrusion 81 to expand the restricted space of the elastic buffer assembly 9; the steering rocker arm 3 is correspondingly provided with a clearance hole 33 to avoid the protrusion 81.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the protrusion 81 extending upward by the steering lever 8 lengthens the guide hole 85, thereby providing more space for the arrangement of the elastic element 91. In this way, a longer elastic element 91 can be arranged in the guide hole 85 of the same diameter, thereby enabling the elastic element 91 to obtain greater elastic deformation, improving the feedback force when the elastic element 91 is pressed, and improving the elastic reset force.

[0062] This design also reduces the overall size of the structure because the protrusion 81 on the steering lever 8 expands the restricted space for the elastic element 91, thus forming a compact structure that facilitates the miniaturization of the entire structure.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 6 , Figures 8 to 10 Based on the upwardly protruding protrusion 81 on the steering lever 8, a supporting step 84 naturally forms around the protrusion 81. A limiting step 34 is formed on the steering rocker arm 3 to abut against the supporting step 84, thereby limiting the steering lever 8. Therefore, even though the steering rocker arm 3 is provided with an clearance hole 33, the supporting step 84 and the limiting step 34 for limiting the steering lever 8 are simultaneously formed, achieving reliable limiting of the steering lever 8.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 As shown, a guide groove 35 is provided in the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm 3, and a guide part 82 adapted to the guide groove 35 is provided on the side of the steering lever 8.

[0065] In the above technical solution, the guide groove 35 provided in the mounting cavity of the steering rocker arm 3 has the function of guiding and preventing rotation when the steering lever 8 slides, preventing the steering lever 8 from rotating relative to the steering rocker arm 3 when it swings with the button lever 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figures 8 to 10 The lower edge of the steering lever 8 is provided with a flange 83, and the lower end of the steering rocker arm 3 abuts against the flange 83. The flange 83 provided on the lower edge of the steering lever 8 provides a certain support for the lower end of the steering rocker arm 3. At the same time, due to the elastic support of the elastic element 91 on the steering lever 8, the lower end of the steering rocker arm 3 also has a certain limiting effect on the steering lever 8.

[0067] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a motorcycle, including the aforementioned turn signal button structure, mounted on the motorcycle's handlebars, see [link / reference]. Figure 12 As shown.

[0068] The motorcycle provided in this embodiment of the utility model, due to the adoption of this turn signal button structure, allows users to feel the refinement brought by the change of hand when turning, thereby enhancing the brand value of the model.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
