Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of switches, and in particular to a window lift control switch. Background Technology

[0002] Window control switches are used to control the raising and lowering of car windows, enabling them to open and close. They are an indispensable basic safety and comfort device in modern automobiles, widely used in daily driving, transportation hubs, parking scenarios, and passenger control.

[0003] In related technologies, window lift switches typically employ a push-button design. The switch includes a housing with a storage slot containing a lift button that is rotatably connected to it. Pressing the top of the lift button lowers the window, while flicking it upwards from the side raises the window.

[0004] Because the power window control buttons rotate, the force-applying surfaces are located on opposite sides of the button, and both require fingertip pressure, making it difficult for users to quickly switch from flipping upwards to pressing downwards. When there are obstacles during the window's upward movement, this delay in button operation increases the risk of injury from the window pinching people or objects. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce the risk of accidental switch operation, this application provides a window lift control switch.

[0006] This application provides a vehicle window lift control switch, which adopts the following technical solution: A window lift control switch includes a housing with a mounting base. A circuit board is disposed within the housing, and the circuit board has a first switch for controlling the window to lower and a second switch for controlling the window to raise. A first trigger rod for triggering the first switch and a second trigger rod for triggering the second switch are vertically inserted within the mounting base. A base is provided on the housing, and a receiving groove is formed on the base. A receiving hole for the mounting base to pass through is formed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove. A window button rotatably connected to the mounting base is provided on the outer cover of the mounting base. An operating groove is formed on the side of the window button facing the length direction of the housing, and an operating plate extending out of the operating groove is provided on the bottom wall of the operating groove. When the window button is not rotated, a gap exists between the operating plate and the bottom wall of the receiving groove. When the window button is pressed, it rotates clockwise, pushing the first trigger rod to trigger the first switch. When the window button is toggled, it rotates counterclockwise, pushing the second trigger rod to trigger the second switch.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, if a user wants to lower the window, they can use an upward motion from the side of the window lift button, causing the window to rise. At this time, by continuing to move their finger towards the bottom wall of the receiving slot and pressing the control panel, the user can control the window to lower. This allows the user to quickly switch to the window button in case of an operational error. The operation process is convenient, reduces the risk of misoperation, and lowers safety hazards.

[0008] Optionally, the upper surface of the operating panel is provided with an elastic plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic plate is located on the upper surface of the control panel, which has a protective function and reduces the probability of injury to the user when pressing the control panel.

[0010] Optionally, a limit strip is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the elastic plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user presses the control panel, the limiting strip can reduce the probability that the finger will leave the control panel on the side away from the window button.

[0012] Optionally, the end of the elastic plate facing the operating plate is provided with a male hook and loop fastener, and the end of the operating plate facing the elastic plate is provided with a female hook and loop fastener, and the male hook and loop fastener and the female hook and loop fastener are bonded together.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic plate and the operating plate are connected by male and female hook and loop fasteners, which makes it easy for users to remove the elastic plate from the operating plate and replace it.

[0014] Optionally, the operating groove extends through the window button along the width of the base, and the vertical inner wall of the operating groove is arc-shaped.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner wall of the operating groove is made smooth and fits the user's fingers.

[0016] Optionally, a locking structure is provided between the base and the housing to connect the two. The locking structure includes connecting blocks disposed on both sides of the base along the width direction and two connecting plates disposed on the upper end of the housing. The base is located between the two connecting plates, and the two connecting plates have connecting holes for the connecting blocks to be inserted at one end facing the base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting block is inserted into the connecting hole, making it difficult for the shell and the base to separate, thus reducing the probability of accidental separation between the shell and the base.

[0018] Optionally, there are multiple locking structures, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer periphery of the base.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the connection between the shell and the base is increased.

[0020] Optionally, the window button is provided with a mounting block, and the upper surface of the window button is provided with a groove for the mounting block to be inserted. The mounting block is a transparent part.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, after the LED light on the circuit board is lit, the mounting block allows light to pass through, making it easier for users to observe the window buttons in the night and operate the window buttons to adjust the window raising and lowering.

[0022] Optionally, the mounting base is fixedly connected to mounting posts on both horizontal sides along the width of the housing, and the window button is provided with mounting holes for the mounting posts to be inserted on both horizontal sides along the width of the housing.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting post is inserted into the mounting hole, and the mounting post can rotate within the mounting hole, thus realizing the rotatable connection between the window button and the fixed seat.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. If a user wants to lower the window, they can use the action of flicking the window up from the side of the window button, causing the window to rise. At this time, if the user continues to move their finger towards the bottom wall of the receiving slot, pressing the control panel will control the window to lower. This allows the user to quickly switch to the window button in case of an operation error. The operation process is convenient, reduces the risk of misoperation, and lowers safety hazards. 2. The elastic plate and the operating plate are detachably connected. The elastic plate and the operating plate are connected by male and female hook and loop fasteners, which allows users to remove the elastic plate from the operating plate and replace it. The replacement of the elastic plate does not require the replacement of the entire operating plate, which can reduce replacement costs. Attached Figure Description
