[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0026] This application discloses a handlebar switch. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A handlebar switch includes a base 1 detachably mounted on a motorcycle and a housing 2 detachably mounted on the base 1. The housing 2 is hollow, with an opening at one end away from the base 1. A circuit board 3 is fixed inside the housing 2 on the base 1. The circuit board 3 is located on one side of the base 1. An optocoupler switch 4 and a micro switch 5 are electrically mounted on the circuit board 3. Considering the waterproofing of the circuit board 3, in this embodiment, a waterproof rubber layer 22 is sealed on the circuit board 3. The rubber layer 22 seals over the optocoupler switch 4 and the micro switch 5, thereby achieving waterproofing and dustproofing for the circuit board 3, the optocoupler switch 4, and the micro switch 5.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support 6 is mounted on the base 1 and is installed inside the housing 2. To enable the support 6 to move smoothly up and down, a guide cylinder 23 is installed on the side of the base 1 away from the micro switch 5. A guide post 24 that is compatible with the guide cylinder 23 is fixed on the support 6. A guide strip 25 is protruding from the outer periphery of the support 6. The length direction of the guide strip 25 is consistent with the lifting direction of the support 6. A guide groove 26 that is compatible with the guide strip 25 is opened on the inner wall of the housing 2. Under the combined action of the guide post 24 and the guide cylinder 23, and the guide strip 25 and the guide groove 26, the support 6 can move smoothly up and down above the base 1.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A fan-shaped plate 8 is rotatably mounted on one side of the bracket 6 to control the on / off state of the optical path of the optocoupler switch 4. The optocoupler switch 4 includes a light-emitting end and a light-receiving end arranged opposite each other. The fan-shaped plate 8 is located between the light-emitting end and the light-receiving end. The rotating fan-shaped plate 8 can intermittently block the light transmission channel between the light-emitting end and the light-receiving end, thereby controlling the on / off state of the optical path of the optocoupler switch 4 and realizing the page turning process for multiple pages of information on the motorcycle instrument panel. To facilitate the page turning process, the optocoupler switch 4 includes a first optocoupler and a second optocoupler. The first optocoupler and the second optocoupler are arranged at intervals along the rotation direction of the fan-shaped plate 8. By driving the fan-shaped plate 8 to rotate forward and backward, the blocking order of the fan-shaped plate 8 on the first optocoupler and the second optocoupler is adjusted, thereby realizing the page turning process. One end of the bracket 6 is also fixed with a pressing head 7 for pressing the micro switch 5. The bottom of the pressing head 7 contacts the top of the micro switch 5. When downward pressure is applied to the bracket 6, the bracket 6 drives the pressing head 7 to press the micro switch 5 downward, thereby triggering the confirmation process of the selected page information. When the downward pressure is removed from the bracket 6, the micro switch 5 is reset under the action of its spring, which also pushes the bracket 6 upward and resets it.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The bracket 6 is equipped with a driving component that can both drive the fan blades 8 to rotate and drive the bracket 6 to descend. The driving component is a roller 9 that is rotatably mounted on the bracket 6, with part of the roller 9 exposed outside the housing 2. A transmission assembly is provided between the roller 9 and the fan blades 8, and the transmission assembly is located on the bracket 6. When page turning is required, simply push the roller 9 to rotate on the bracket 6. The roller 9 drives the fan blades 8 to rotate through the transmission assembly, thereby controlling the on / off of the optical path of the optocoupler switch 4, realizing the page turning of multiple pages of information on the motorcycle instrument panel. When confirmation of the selected page information is required, simply press the roller 9 down. The roller 9 drives the bracket 6 to move downward, causing the pressing head 7 at one end of the bracket 6 to press down on the micro switch 5, thereby triggering the confirmation of the selected page information.

[0030] To prevent the roller 9 from rotating relative to the bracket 6 during the downward pressing of the roller 9, the following is referenced: Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The roller 9 is hollow inside, and multiple protrusions 12 are spaced circumferentially on its inner wall. A rotating block 10 is disposed inside the roller 9, and a first support shaft 11 is fixed to one side of the rotating block 10. The cross-section of the first support shaft 11 is non-circular; in this embodiment, the cross-section of the first support shaft 11 is square. A notch 20 adapted to the first support shaft 11 is provided on one side of the bracket 6, through which the first support shaft 11 is stably mounted on the bracket 6. A stop block 21 is fixed to the end of the first support shaft 11 away from the rotating block 10. The width of the stop block 21 is greater than the width of the notch 20, and the stop block 21 is pressed against the outer wall of the bracket 6, allowing the first support shaft 11 to stably mount the roller 9 on the bracket 6. A circular support rod 27 is coaxially fixed to the end of the first support shaft 11 away from the stop block 21. The support rod 27 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating block 10. The roller 9 can be rotatably mounted on the first support shaft 11 through the support rod 27. When the roller 9 rotates relative to the bracket 6, the rotating block 10 is stationary relative to the bracket 6. A mounting groove 28 is provided on the peripheral wall of the rotating block 10 along the radial direction of the roller 9. A spring 29 is installed in the mounting groove 28. A ball bearing 13 is fixed to the end of the spring 29 away from the mounting groove 28. Under the drive of the spring 29, the ball bearing 13 elastically abuts against the two adjacent protrusions 12, so that the roller 9 is not easy to rotate when pressed.

[0031] To prevent the first support shaft 11 from breaking due to excessive force when rotating or pressing the roller 9, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The roller 9 has an opening on the side away from the first support shaft 11. A cover plate 14 is fixedly installed on the opening side of the roller 9. A second support shaft 15 is fixed on the cover plate 14. The second support shaft 15 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 6. At this time, the roller 9 can be stably mounted on the bracket 6 under the combined action of the first support shaft 11 and the second support shaft 15.

[0032] Regarding the configuration of the transmission component, in other embodiments, the transmission component is configured as a sprocket drive, belt drive, etc., while in this embodiment, the transmission component is configured as a gear drive. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The transmission assembly includes a first gear 16 fixedly sleeved on the second support shaft 15, a second gear 17 rotatably mounted on the bracket 6, a third support shaft 18 rotatably mounted on the bracket 6, and a third gear 19 fixedly sleeved on the third support shaft 18. The first gear 16, the second gear 17, and the third gear 19 are all located outside the bracket 6 and are sequentially meshed. One end of the third support shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fan blade 8. When the roller 9 rotates, the roller 9 drives the second support shaft 15 to rotate synchronously through the cover plate 14. The second support shaft 15 drives the first gear 16 to rotate. The first gear 16 drives the third gear 19 to rotate through the second gear 17. The third gear 19 drives the fan blade 8 to rotate through the third support shaft 18, thereby controlling the on / off of the optical path of the optocoupler switch 4 and realizing the page turning of multi-page information on the motorcycle instrument panel.

[0033] The implementation principle of a handlebar switch in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the roller 9 is rotated. The roller 9 drives the second support shaft 15 to rotate synchronously through the cover plate 14. The second support shaft 15 drives the first gear 16 to rotate. The first gear 16 drives the third gear 19 to rotate through the second gear 17. The third gear 19 drives the fan blade 8 to rotate through the third support shaft 18. The rotating fan blade 8 can intermittently block the light transmission channel between the light-emitting end and the light-receiving end, thereby controlling the light path of the optocoupler switch 4 and realizing the page turning of multi-page information on the motorcycle instrument panel. When it is necessary to confirm the selected page information, simply press the roller 9 down. The roller 9 drives the bracket 6 to move downward, so that the pressing head 7 on one end of the bracket 6 presses down the micro switch 5, thereby triggering the confirmation process of the selected page information. When the downward pressure on the bracket 6 is removed, the micro switch 5 is reset under the action of its spring, and at the same time, it pushes the bracket 6 to move upward and reset.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
