Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motorcycle accessories, specifically relating to a handlebar combination switch. Background Technology

[0002] Combination switches on motorcycle handlebars (such as light, horn, and mode switches) are core components frequently operated by riders, and their user experience and reliability directly affect riding safety. Many traditional motorcycle handlebar switches use a direct-press switch structure, where pressing down on a button directly triggers a microswitch via a push rod, slider, or button. This design has the following significant drawbacks in practical use:

[0003] Lack of tactile feedback: Under conditions of cycling vibration, wind noise, and operation while wearing gloves, traditional switches lack clear mechanical tactile feedback when triggered. Riders find it difficult to confirm by touch whether the switch has been effectively triggered, which can easily lead to repeated pressing or misjudgment of the status.

[0004] Accidental triggering: When the motorcycle is traveling on a bumpy road, or due to an unintentional light touch, the button may move down and cause the micro switch to be accidentally triggered, resulting in malfunction of the switch. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to this problem, the present invention provides a handle combination switch to solve the problems pointed out in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0017] The positive effects of this utility model are as follows: The handlebar combination switch structure of this utility model has been optimized. The first switch module on it forms a forced contact-contraction-pass mechanism through the cooperation of the elastic element and the blocking structure. During the button pressing operation, a clear and perceptible over-gear feeling is generated, which intuitively reminds the rider that the button has passed the critical travel point, and provides intuitive mechanical pre-confirmation for the micro switch to be triggered.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0032] The structure of the handle combination switch in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it is suitable for use on motorcycle handlebars. It includes a housing 1, a mounting bracket 2 and a switch module fixed inside the housing 1; for easy assembly, the housing 1 is configured as a split assembly structure, which includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 connected together; the switch module includes a first switch module 3, which includes a bracket 31, a micro switch 32 and a contact assembly 33, which are mounted on the bracket 31; the contact assembly 33 includes a mounting base 331, a slider 332, a button 333, a spring 334, an elastic element 335 and a blocking structure 3311; the mounting base 331 is fixed to the bracket 31; the slider 332 is movable up and down and is mounted on the mounting base 331, and triggers the micro switch 32 when the slider 332 moves down to the correct position; the button 333 is located on the upper end of the slider 332 and exposed outside the housing 1; the spring 334 is installed between the mounting base 331 and the slider 332 to provide an upward elastic force to the slider 332; the elastic element 334... The elastic element 335 is mounted on the slider 332 and can move elastically in the lateral direction. The blocking structure 3311 is mounted on the fixed base 331 and corresponds to the position of the elastic element 335. When the slider 332 moves down, the elastic element 335 comes into contact with the blocking structure 3311. This contact forces the elastic element 335 to contract and pass through the blocking structure 3311. In this embodiment, the first switch module forms a forced contact-contraction-pass mechanism through the cooperation of the elastic element 335 and the blocking structure 3311. During the pressing operation of the button 333, a clear and perceptible over-gear feeling is generated, which intuitively reminds the rider that the button 333 has passed the critical travel point, providing an intuitive mechanical pre-confirmation for the imminent triggering of the micro switch 32. Moreover, the contact between the elastic element 335 and the blocking structure 3311 forms a mechanical barrier. The rider must apply a large pressing force to make the elastic element 335 contract and pass through the blocking structure 3311, thereby better avoiding malfunctions caused by road bumps or vibrations or accidental light touches, and improving the performance.

[0033] The working process of the contact component 33 on the first switch module 3 in this embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] When no external force is applied, the spring 334 is in a stretched or slightly compressed state, providing a continuous upward elastic force to the slider 332, keeping the slider 332 and the button 333 at its upper end in the highest position. At this time, the slider 332 remains separated from the trigger end of the micro switch 32 or is in a non-triggered state, and the elastic element 335 is in a stretched state due to the absence of external force.

[0035] When the rider presses down the button 333 exposed on the outer casing 1, the external force overcomes the return force of the spring 334 and drives the slider 332 to move downward. When it moves downward, the elastic element 335 on the slider 332 moves downward as well, and the elastic element 335 comes into contact with the blocking structure 3311 on the fixed seat 331. The blocking structure 3311 applies a lateral resistance to the elastic element 335 in the direction of the central axis of the slider 332. This lateral resistance forces the elastic element 335, which originally had the ability to move laterally, to undergo lateral elastic contraction inward into the slider 332.

[0036] As slider 332 continues to move downward, the elastic element 335, after shrinking and deforming, is able to pass over the blocking structure 3311. During the shrinking and deforming process of elastic element 335, the rider can feel a significant change in resistance, thus providing clear tactile feedback. Slider 332 continues to move downward until micro switch 32 is triggered.

[0037] When the rider releases the pressing force, the slider 332 moves upward to reset under the reset force of the spring 334, while the elastic element 335 returns to its initial position and gets rid of the blocking structure 3311 limit, automatically resetting laterally outward.

[0038] In this embodiment, the slider 332 is provided with a transverse hole 3320, and the elastic element 335 is installed in the transverse hole 3320. The elastic element 335 includes an elastic component 3351 and a movable component 3352. The movable component 3352 is movably disposed in the transverse hole 3320. The elastic component 3351 provides an outward elastic force to the movable component 3352. During the downward movement of the slider 332, the elastic component 3351 can move into the transverse hole 3320 and further compress the elastic component 3351 after contacting the blocking structure 3311. Preferably, the movable component 3352 is a steel ball, roller, or wedge, and the elastic component 3351 is a helical compression spring.

[0039] Further, see Figure 5The transverse hole 3320 extends transversely through the slider 332. There are two movable parts 3352, located at both ends of the transverse hole 3320. The elastic part 3351 is located between the two movable parts 3352. The fixed base 331 is provided with the blocking structure 3311 at the corresponding positions of the two movable parts 3352. When the slider 332 moves down, the two movable parts 3352 simultaneously come into contact with their respective blocking structures 3311. Under the action of the contact force, the two movable parts 3352 move towards each other and compress the middle elastic part 3351. This dual-point synchronous contact produces a superimposed force change, making the shifting sensation perceived by the rider stronger and clearer during operation. It can also eliminate the risk of uneven wear and jamming caused by the slider 332 being subjected to force on one side, and improve the smoothness of sliding.

[0040] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the blocking structure 3311 is a step provided on the fixed base 331. In the initial state, the elastic member 335 is above the step. When the slider 332 moves down, the elastic member 335 generates a contact force with the horizontal wall. The slider 332 continues to move down, causing the elastic member 335 to pass over the step and be compressed.

[0041] See Figure 7 To ensure that the mounting base 331 and the micro switch 32 can be quickly and reliably installed on the first bracket 31, a first groove 311 and a second groove 312 are provided on the first bracket 31. The mounting base 331 is inserted into the first groove 311, and the micro switch 32 is inserted into the second groove 312, so that the micro switch 32 and the contact assembly 33 are securely installed.

[0042] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a mounting cavity 336 is formed between the upper end of the button 333 and the slider 332. A circuit board 337 is provided in the mounting cavity 336. An LED bead is provided on the circuit board 337. A light-transmitting part is provided on the button 333. A channel for wires to pass through is provided on the slider 332 and the fixing base 331. When the LED bead emits light, the light is transmitted through the light-transmitting part, thereby achieving the effect of light indication.

[0043] See Figure 2 The switch module also includes a second switch module 4; a support frame 5 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the support frame 5, housing 1 and fixing frame 2 together form a first limiting cavity. The second switch module 4 is fixed in the first limiting cavity, thereby reliably fixing the second switch module 4. Moreover, the support frame 5 can also create a foundation for the installation of the third switch module 6 below, improving the rationality of the structure.

[0044] See Figures 8 to 10As shown, the second switch module 4 includes a switch base 41, a lever 42, a switch assembly 45, and a waterproof sleeve 43 (preferably made of rubber). The switch assembly 45 is disposed inside the switch base 41. The lower end of the lever 42 extends into the switch base 41 to control the on and off states of the switch assembly 45. The upper end of the lever 42 protrudes from the outer casing 1 and is equipped with a button 44. The waterproof sleeve 43 is fitted over the outside of the switch base 41, and its upper end is integrally provided with a sleeve portion 431 surrounding the lever 42. The upper end of the sleeve portion 431... The lever 42 and button 44 are pressed together to form a fixed seal; the waterproof sleeve 43 provides protection on the outside of the second switch module 4, thereby enhancing the waterproof and dustproof effect; the switch assembly 45 includes a moving contact and a stationary contact. When the moving contact and the stationary contact are in contact, the circuit is turned on; when the moving contact and the stationary contact are separated, the circuit is turned off. The switching of the moving contact can be controlled by the lever 42; furthermore, a buckle can be provided on the switch base 41, which is engaged with the support frame 5 to ensure that the second switch module 4 is reliably fixed.

[0045] Preferably, the switch module further includes a third switch module 6, and the support frame 5 and the outer shell 1 form a second limiting cavity. The third switch module 6 is fixed in the second limiting cavity to reliably fix the third switch module 6.

[0046] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
