[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a dimmable switch 100, mainly used in vehicles. The dimmable switch 100 includes a first bracket 110, a slider 120, an elastic member 130, and a rolling member 140.
[0024] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first bracket 110 has a guide rail 111 on one side, and the sliding member 120 is slidably connected to the guide rail 111. The sliding member 120 has a mounting hole 121 on the side near the first bracket 110. The elastic member 130 is disposed in the mounting hole 121, and the rolling member 140 is disposed in the mounting hole 121 and abuts against the elastic member 130 and the guide rail 111 respectively. The guide rail 111 has a plurality of grooves 1111 adapted to the rolling member 140, and the plurality of grooves 1111 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the guide rail 111.
[0025] The dimmer switch 100 provided in the embodiments of this application provides a guide rail 111 on one side of the first bracket 110 and slides the slider 120 to the guide rail 111 so that the slider 120 can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the guide rail 111, thereby adjusting the position of the slider 120 to control the connection state of the vehicle light circuit, and thus realize the turning on and off of the vehicle light and the switching of high and low beams.
[0026] The slider 120 has a mounting hole 121 on the side near the first bracket 110. The elastic element 130 and the rolling element 140 are both disposed in the mounting hole 121. By abutting the rolling element 140 against the elastic element 130 and the guide rail 111 respectively, and by opening multiple grooves 1111 on the guide rail 111 that are adapted to the rolling element 140, and by arranging the grooves 1111 at intervals along the extension direction of the guide rail 111, the ball bearings are kept in close contact with the guide rail 111 and the grooves 1111 under the restoring elastic force of the elastic element 130 during the sliding adjustment of the slider 120 along the guide rail 111, thereby playing a damping role. This provides the user with adjustment feel and sound feedback during the sliding adjustment process, effectively improving the user experience.
[0027] For example, the elastic element 130 can be a cylindrical spring or a sheet, and the rolling element 140 can be a steel ball.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the dimming switch 100 further includes a second bracket 150, a conductive component 160, and a trigger 170. The second bracket 150 is disposed on the side of the slider 120 away from the first bracket 110. The second bracket 150 has a group of mounting holes 151 adapted to the conductive component 160. The conductive component 160 is disposed in the group of mounting holes 151. The trigger 170 is disposed on the side of the slider 120 away from the first bracket 110 and is used to turn on or off the conductive component 160.
[0029] In this embodiment, the second bracket 150 is disposed on the side of the slider 120 away from the first bracket 110, and has an assembly hole group 151 adapted to the conductive component 160. The conductive component 160 is disposed in the assembly hole group 151. By disposing the trigger 170 on the side of the slider 120 away from the first bracket 110, the trigger 170 can slide synchronously along the guide rail 111 with the slider 120, thereby adjusting the relative position of the trigger 170 and the conductive component 160. When the trigger 170 contacts the conductive component 160, it can electrically conduct the conductive component 160. When the trigger 170 separates from the conductive component 160, it can cut off the electrical conduction between the conductive components 160, thereby realizing the function of turning the vehicle lights on or off.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, multiple sets of conductive components 160 are provided, and the multiple sets of conductive components 160 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide rail 111.
[0031] In this embodiment, by setting the number of conductive components 160 to multiple groups and arranging the multiple groups of conductive components 160 at intervals along the extension direction of the guide rail 111, the trigger 170 can conduct with different conductive components 160 during the reciprocating sliding of the slider 120 along the guide rail 111, thereby controlling the connection state of the vehicle light circuit and realizing the turning on and off of the vehicle light and the switching of high and low beams.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the conductive component 160 includes a first conductive element 161 and a second conductive element 162, the assembly hole group 151 includes a first assembly hole 1511 and a second assembly hole 1512, the first conductive element 161 is disposed in the first assembly hole 1511, the second conductive element 162 is disposed in the second assembly hole 1512, and the trigger member 170 is provided with a first conductive contact 171 and a second conductive contact 172 on the side away from the slider 120, the first conductive contact 171 is used to contact the first conductive element 161, and the second conductive contact 172 is used to contact the second conductive element 162.
[0033] Therefore, when the adjusting slider 120 causes the first conductive contact 171 and the second conductive contact 172 of the trigger 170 to contact the first conductive element 161 and the second conductive element 162 respectively, the first conductive element 161 can be electrically connected to the second conductive element 162 through the trigger 170. When the adjusting slider 120 causes the first conductive contact 171 and the second conductive contact 172 of the trigger 170 to separate from the first conductive element 161 and the second conductive element 162 respectively, the electrical connection between the first conductive element 161 and the second conductive element 162 can be cut off.
[0034] For example, both the first conductive element 161 and the second conductive element 162 can be conductive copper pillars.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the trigger member 170 is provided with a first engaging portion 173 on the side near the slider 120, and the slider 120 is provided with a second engaging portion that engages with the first engaging portion 173.
[0036] In this embodiment, a first engaging portion 173 is provided on the side of the trigger 170 near the slider 120, and a second engaging portion is provided on the slider 120 to engage with the first engaging portion 173. Under the engaging action of the first engaging portion 173 and the second engaging portion, the trigger 170 is stably positioned on the side of the slider 120 away from the first bracket 110. This allows the trigger 170 to slide synchronously and stably along the guide rail 111 with the slider 120, thereby ensuring the stability of the headlight on / off and high / low beam switching functions.
[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, the first snap-fit portion 173 can be a snap fastener, and the second snap-fit portion is a slot that snaps into the snap fastener.
[0038] In other embodiments, the first snap-fit portion 173 may also be a card slot, and the second snap-fit portion may be a buckle that snaps into the card slot.
[0039] For example, in one embodiment of this application, the extension shape of the guide rail 111 is arc-shaped or straight-shaped, so that the sliding path of the slider 120 is arc-shaped or straight-shaped, thereby realizing the switching of the vehicle light state by rotational sliding adjustment or linear sliding adjustment to adapt to different adjustment needs of users and expand the applicability of the dimmer switch 100.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in any of the above embodiments of this application, the dimmable switch 100 further includes a first cover 180, which covers the first bracket 110 and the sliding member 120. The sliding member 120 has an operating part 122 protruding from the side near the first cover 180. The first cover 180 has a clearance hole 181 for avoiding the operating part 122, and the clearance hole 181 is opened along the extension direction of the guide rail 111.
[0041] This allows the user to move the sliding member 120 along the extension direction of the guide rail 111 by toggling the operating part 122, thereby realizing the function of adjusting and switching the vehicle light status.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiment of this application, the dimmable switch 100 further includes a second cover 190, which covers the operating part 122 and has a fastening hole adapted to the operating part 122. The first cover 180 has a relief groove 182 for avoiding the second cover 190, and the relief groove 182 is opened along the extension direction of the guide rail 111.
[0043] This allows the user to move the second cover 190 to activate the operating unit 122, thereby causing the slider 120 to slide along the extension direction of the guide rail 111, effectively improving the convenience of adjusting and switching the vehicle light status.
[0044] This application also provides a vehicle including the dimmable switch 100 described in the above embodiments.
[0045] The vehicle has the dimming switch 100 in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the dimming switch 100, which will not be described in detail here.
