Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of motorcycle parts technology, and more specifically, relates to a handlebar switch assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle switch assemblies are key control components installed on motorcycle handlebars, typically including control switches for functions such as lights, turn signals, horn, and start. To accommodate the installation needs of different motorcycle models and reduce manufacturing complexity, most motorcycle switch assemblies on the market adopt a split structure design, that is, the assembly consists of two parts: an upper housing and a lower housing, which are fixed to the outside of the motorcycle handlebars by snap-fit ​​or bolt connection.

[0003] Currently, the housings of such split-type switch assemblies are mostly manufactured using injection molding. The upper and lower housings are injection molded separately and then assembled with screws. However, due to the shape curve of the handlebar and ergonomic requirements, the mating surfaces of the upper and lower housings are often complex curved surfaces that are not on the same plane. This results in complex molding processes, high manufacturing costs, and a tendency for poor demolding or molding defects to occur during production.

[0004] The split-type structure also presents significant quality issues after manufacturing: Firstly, numerous burrs tend to form at the parting surface between the upper and lower housings after injection molding, making cleaning tedious and difficult to thoroughly, thus affecting the appearance quality and assembly accuracy of the components. Secondly, while bolted connections provide reliable fastening, they increase assembly steps and time, especially during maintenance or replacement, requiring the removal of multiple screws, which is inconvenient and reduces maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, bolted connections may loosen under long-term vibration, affecting the stability and safety of the switch assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a handlebar switch assembly and a vehicle, which aims to solve the problem that the existing switch assembly adopts a split structure, resulting in complex molding process and cumbersome installation steps, leading to high production and assembly costs.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a handlebar switch assembly, including: The mounting bracket includes a base body and a positioning portion disposed on the base body, and further includes a snap-fit ​​portion disposed on the base body, the positioning portion being used for insertion and positioning with a handlebar; and The switch housing has a clearance hole and a mounting groove, which are radially interconnected. The clearance hole extends through the switch housing axially and is used to accommodate the handlebar. The mounting groove is adapted to the base. The switch housing has a fixing area that engages with the snap-fit ​​part.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the handlebar switch assembly provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the mounting base can be pre-positioned and quickly and accurately inserted into the handlebar via the positioning part, achieving pre-installation. Subsequently, the switch housing is axially slidably fitted onto the handlebar, allowing its mounting groove to accommodate the base. The fixing area and snap-fit ​​part then complete the snap-fit ​​engagement, securing the switch housing to the handlebar. This installation process eliminates the need for bolts or other fasteners, greatly simplifying the assembly steps and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Furthermore, since the switch housing itself is a single, integral structure with its clearance hole running axially, the connection is not only more robust and reliable, avoiding the need for the traditional split housing to be fitted onto the handlebar and then secured with bolts or other external connectors, but also simplifies the assembly process. Moreover, the integral structure avoids the problem of complex curved parting surfaces affecting the product's appearance quality and dimensional accuracy due to molding errors, and also reduces mold complexity and injection molding difficulty, thereby effectively controlling production costs. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​connection method ensures connection reliability while avoiding the risk of bolt loosening under vibration, improving the stability and safety of the switch assembly during motorcycle operation, and also facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement operations. This application simplifies the structure and significantly improves installation efficiency by designing the mounting base and switch housing as separable independent components and employing a fixing method combining positioning plug-in and snap-fit ​​connections.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat has an arcuate mounting surface adapted to the handlebar, the positioning part is disposed on the mounting surface and radially inserted and positioned on the handlebar, and the snap-fit ​​part and the positioning part are located on opposite sides of the mounting seat.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the arc-shaped mounting surface on the seat that adapts to the handlebar ensures that the mounting seat can stably fit against the handlebar surface, improving the firmness and reliability of the connection between the mounting seat and the handlebar. The positioning part located on this mounting surface directly inserts into the handlebar radially, providing a firm radial and circumferential positioning for the entire switch assembly. The snap-fit ​​part is located on the opposite side of the arc-shaped mounting surface, so that the opposite sides of the mounting seat are subjected to installation force evenly, avoiding the problem of local stress concentration.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the base body has a guide groove along the axial direction, and the switch housing has a guide rail adapted to the guide groove, the guide rail being slidably inserted into the guide groove.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the guide structure in this embodiment effectively avoids angular deviations or misalignments that may occur during assembly, ensuring that the fixing area on the switch housing can be precisely aligned and engaged with the snap-fit ​​part on the base, thus improving assembly efficiency. More importantly, the sliding insertion fit between the guide rail and the guide groove forms a strong anti-torsional structure after assembly is completed.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat body has a receiving groove along the axial direction, the snap-fit ​​part is located in the receiving groove and protrudes outward from the receiving groove, and the snap-fit ​​part engages with the fixing area.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the receiving groove reduces the contact area between the base and the switch housing, thereby reducing resistance during assembly. The snap-fit ​​portion is radially surrounded and constrained by the receiving groove, effectively preventing the risk of deformation or damage to the snap-fit ​​portion due to accidental collisions or scratches from the side, thus improving the structure's anti-accidental contact capability and durability. Simultaneously, the groove wall provides robust root support for the snap-fit ​​portion. When the snap-fit ​​portion is subjected to vibration or pull-out force transmitted from the switch housing, the force can be quickly dispersed and absorbed by the groove wall, greatly enhancing the fatigue resistance and connection reliability of the snap-fit ​​point.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the switch housing has a through-hole in the radial direction, the through-hole is connected to the mounting groove and engages with the snap-fit ​​part, the through-hole forming the fixing area.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​part on the mounting base can directly and unobstructedly embed into the snap hole when the switch housing moves axially, forming a clear snap-fit ​​feel and a stable mechanical interlock. This radially through-hole structure provides clear visual and tactile alignment guidance for assembly, simplifying the operation and significantly improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. On the other hand, when disassembling the switch housing, a tool can be inserted into the snap hole to push the snap-fit ​​part out of the hole, while simultaneously sliding the switch housing in the opposite direction to separate the switch housing from the base.

[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the switch housing is further provided with a clearance groove, the clearance groove being radially connected to the mounting groove and corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion, the clearance groove being radially connected to one end of the switch housing, and the clearance groove being axially offset from the fixing area.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the clearance groove and the fixing area are offset axially, so that after the snap-fit ​​part slides into the clearance groove, it needs to undergo a certain axial displacement to reach the final snap-fit ​​fixing area. This embodiment not only reduces the resistance during the assembly process of the switch housing and the base, avoiding damage to the snap-fit ​​part due to rigid collision between the snap-fit ​​part and the switch housing, but also provides a guiding effect for the assembly of the switch housing, reducing the alignment and positioning time and improving assembly efficiency.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the inner end of the base body also has a locking block, and the switch housing has a locking groove adapted to the locking block, with the locking block and the locking groove being axially inserted into each other.

[0019] In the above technical solution, after the switch housing is fixed by the snap-fit ​​part of the fixing area and the base, the locking groove and the locking block at the inner end of the base are axially inserted to form a second mechanical interlock, which enhances the ability of the handlebar switch assembly to resist axial movement and torsion, and firmly constrains the switch housing to the mounting base. Compared with relying on a single snap-fit ​​point, this embodiment adopts a dual locking scheme of radial snap-fit ​​and axial insertion, which allows various complex loads acting on the switch housing to be effectively decomposed and transferred to the handlebar through different structural paths, avoiding stress concentration and significantly improving the structural integrity and durability of the product under harsh working conditions.

[0020] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat is a wedge-shaped structure, and its width gradually decreases along the direction close to the handlebars.

[0021] In the above technical solution, after the switch housing slides into place axially, the wedge-shaped seat and the mounting groove form a locking structure in the radial direction, preventing axial movement between the mounting seat and the switch housing. This embodiment ensures that the handlebar switch assembly maintains stable connection under the vibration environment of long-term motorcycle operation, and even further enhances the tightness of the connection, fundamentally eliminating the risk of loosening and greatly improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the positioning part includes a support member and a protective sleeve covering the support member, both of which are connected to the base.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the support component provides the necessary structural strength and rigidity for the positioning part, ensuring that it can withstand greater forces and achieve accurate and stable positioning when inserted with the handlebar, preventing positioning failure due to deformation. The external protective sleeve wraps around the support component, serving as a buffer medium for good protection. Furthermore, the elastic material of the protective sleeve allows it to form an interference fit or tight fit with the positioning holes or grooves on the handlebar after insertion, not only enhancing the tightness of the connection but also effectively attenuating and absorbing vibrations from the handlebar, further improving the stability and quietness of the switch assembly during operation.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned handlebar switch assembly.

[0025] The beneficial effect of the vehicle provided in this application is that, compared with the prior art, it adopts the above-mentioned handlebar switch assembly, which has similar technical effects to the above-mentioned handlebar switch assembly, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] It should be noted that the handlebar switch assembly in this application is applicable not only to motorcycles but also to electric vehicles, including but not limited to electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric tricycles. Of course, it can also be applied to other motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles with handlebars.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "axial" and "radial" in this application are defined with reference to the handlebars.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The handlebar switch assembly and vehicle provided in this application will now be described. The handlebar switch assembly includes a mounting base 2 and a switch housing 3. The mounting base 2 includes a seat body 201 and a positioning part 202 provided on the seat body 201, and also includes a snap-fit ​​part 203 provided on the seat body 201. The positioning part 202 is used for insertion and positioning with the handlebar 1. The switch housing 3 has a clearance hole 304 and a mounting groove 305. The clearance hole 304 and the mounting groove 305 are radially interconnected. The clearance hole 304 passes through the switch housing 3 axially and is used to accommodate the handlebar 1. The mounting groove 305 is adapted to the seat body 201. The switch housing 3 has a fixing area that engages with the snap-fit ​​part 203.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the handlebar switch assembly provided in this application allows the mounting base 2 to be pre-positioned and quickly and accurately inserted into the handlebar 1 via the positioning part 202, achieving pre-installation. Subsequently, the switch housing 3 is axially slidably fitted onto the handlebar 1, allowing its mounting groove 305 to accommodate the base 201. The fixing area and the snap-fit ​​part 203 then engage to secure the switch housing 3 to the handlebar 1. This installation process eliminates the need for bolts or other fasteners, greatly simplifying the assembly process and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Furthermore, since the switch housing 3 is a single, integral structure with its through-hole 304 axially extending, the connection is not only more robust and reliable, avoiding the need for the traditional split housing to be fitted onto the handlebar 1 and then secured with bolts or other external connectors, but also simplifies the assembly process. Moreover, the integral structure avoids the problem of complex curved parting surfaces affecting the product's appearance quality and dimensional accuracy due to molding errors, and also reduces mold complexity and injection molding difficulty, thereby effectively controlling production costs. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​connection method ensures connection reliability while avoiding the risk of bolt loosening under vibration, improving the stability and safety of the switch assembly during motorcycle operation, and also facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement operations. This application simplifies the structure and significantly improves installation efficiency by designing the mounting base 2 and the switch housing 3 as separable independent components and employing a fixing method combining the insertion of the positioning part 202 and the snap-fit ​​of the snap-fit ​​part 203.

[0038] Optionally, the switch housing 3 has a protrusion located within the mounting groove 305. The protrusion forms a fixing area and engages with the snap-fit ​​part 203. The protrusion has a hemispherical structure. The hemispherical protrusion avoids sharp edges and reduces resistance during the snap-fit ​​process. In addition, compared with the slot design, the protrusion design can ensure the strength of the switch housing 3 and reduce the probability of deformation or damage to the switch housing 3 under stress.

[0039] Optionally, the mounting groove 305 is a semi-enclosed groove in the axial direction, allowing the switch housing 3 to axially abut against the seat 201, thus achieving axial positioning of the switch housing 3. During assembly, when the switch housing 3 is radially fitted onto the seat 201 of the mounting base 2, the end wall of the mounting groove 305 abuts tightly against the corresponding end face of the seat 201, thereby effectively restricting the movement of the switch housing 3 along the handlebar 1 axial direction, fundamentally eliminating any axial movement gaps that may occur in the switch assembly, and ensuring the structural stability of the product after assembly.

[0040] Optionally, after the positioning part 202 is inserted into the handlebar 1, it can be pre-installed by interference fit or transition fit, or by snap-fit. When the positioning part 202 is pre-installed with the handlebar 1 by interference fit or transition fit, the positioning part 202 is radially inserted into the handlebar 1. When the positioning part 202 is snap-fitted into the handlebar 1, it can be inserted radially or axially.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting base 2 is an integral component, and the switch housing 3 is an integral component.

[0042] Optionally, the positioning part 202 is a cylindrical or polyhedral structure, and the handlebar 1 is provided with a positioning groove or positioning hole adapted to the positioning part 202.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the seat 201 has an arcuate mounting surface adapted to the handlebar 1, the positioning part 202 is provided on the mounting surface and is radially inserted and positioned on the handlebar 1, and the snap-fit ​​part 203 and the positioning part 202 are located on opposite sides of the mounting seat 2.

[0044] The arc-shaped mounting surface of the seat 201, which adapts to the handlebar 1, ensures that the mounting base 2 can stably fit against the surface of the handlebar 1, improving the firmness and reliability of the connection between the mounting base 2 and the handlebar 1. The positioning part 202, located on this mounting surface, directly inserts into the handlebar 1 radially, providing a firm radial and circumferential positioning for the entire switch assembly. The snap-fit ​​part 203 is located on the opposite side of the arc-shaped mounting surface (i.e., the side facing away from the handlebar 1), which ensures that both sides of the mounting base 2 are subjected to mounting force, resulting in uniform force distribution and avoiding localized stress concentration. Simultaneously, the installation force applied to both sides allows the mounting base 2 to be directly transmitted to the seat 201 through the snap-fit ​​part 203 when subjected to operating forces transmitted from the switch housing 3 and external vibrations. This force is then efficiently distributed to the robust handlebar 1 via the positioning part 202, forming a stable and short force flow path. This significantly enhances the overall torsional and impact resistance of the assembly, ensuring structural integrity and reliability under long-term use.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 In some embodiments, the base 201 has a guide groove 2012 along the axial direction, and the switch housing 3 has a guide rail 306 adapted to the guide groove 2012, and the guide rail 306 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 2012.

[0046] During installation, simply align the guide rail 306 of the switch housing 3 with the guide groove 2012 on the base 201, and the switch housing 3 can be accurately slidably pushed into the predetermined position along the axial direction. The guide structure in this embodiment effectively avoids angular deviations or misalignments that may occur during assembly, ensuring that the fixed area on the switch housing 3 can be precisely aligned and engaged with the snap-fit ​​portion 203 on the base 201, thus improving assembly efficiency. More importantly, the sliding insertion fit between the guide rail 306 and the guide groove 2012 forms a strong anti-torsional structure after assembly. When the driver operates the switch, the torque or lateral force applied to the switch housing 3 is shared by the sidewalls of the guide rail 306 and the guide groove 2012, thereby avoiding stress concentration at the point-like snap-fit ​​portion 203. This greatly enhances the structural rigidity and stability of the entire switch assembly, effectively preventing loosening or rotation during long-term use or accidental impact, further improving the reliability and safety of the product. This embodiment introduces precise axial guidance and circumferential limiting functions for the assembly process of the two by setting a guide groove 2012 on the base 201 and a matching guide rail 306 on the switch housing 3.

[0047] Optionally, guide grooves 2012 are provided on opposite sides of the base 201 to ensure that the base 201 is subjected to uniform force.

[0048] Please see Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments, the seat 201 has a receiving groove 2011 along the axial direction, the snap-fit ​​part 203 is located in the receiving groove 2011 and protrudes outward from the receiving groove 2011, and the snap-fit ​​part 203 engages with the fixing area.

[0049] During assembly, when the switch housing 3 slides axially and radially covers the base 201, its fixing area contacts and engages with the inner and outer protruding locking portions 203 of the receiving groove 2011. The design of the receiving groove 2011 reduces the contact area between the base 201 and the switch housing 3, thereby reducing resistance during assembly. The locking portion 203 is surrounded and constrained radially by the receiving groove 2011, effectively avoiding the risk of deformation or damage to the locking portion 203 caused by accidental collisions or scratches from the side, thus improving the structure's anti-accidental contact capability and durability. At the same time, the groove wall of the receiving groove 2011 provides a solid root support for the locking portion 203. When the locking portion 203 is subjected to vibration or pull-out force transmitted from the switch housing 3, the force can be quickly dispersed and absorbed by the groove wall, greatly enhancing the fatigue resistance and connection reliability of the locking point and preventing loosening under long-term use.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the switch housing 3 has a through hole 301 in the radial direction. The hole 301 is connected to the mounting groove 305 and engages with the snap-fit ​​part 203. The hole 301 forms a fixing area.

[0051] This embodiment allows the snap-fit ​​portion 203 on the mounting base 2 to directly and unobstructedly engage with the snap-fit ​​hole 301 when the switch housing 3 moves axially, creating a clear engagement feel and a stable mechanical interlock. This radially through-hole structure 301 provides clear visual and tactile alignment guidance for assembly, simplifying operations and significantly improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, when disassembling the switch housing 3, a tool can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 301 to push the snap-fit ​​portion 203 out of the hole, while simultaneously sliding the switch housing 3 in the opposite direction to separate the switch housing 3 from the base 201.

[0052] Optional, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The snap-fit ​​part 203 is an arc-shaped strip structure. The arc-shaped strip structure has good deformation ability, which can not only realize quick snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​hole 301, but also slide out of the snap-fit ​​hole 301 under the pressure during disassembly, thereby facilitating the separation of the switch housing 3 from the base 201.

[0053] Please see Figures 6 to 7In some embodiments, the switch housing 3 is further provided with a relief groove 302, which is radially connected to the mounting groove 305 and corresponds to the snap-fit ​​portion 203. The relief groove 302 is radially connected to one end of the switch housing 3, and the relief groove 302 is axially offset from the fixing area.

[0054] The clearance groove 302 avoids the locking part 203 and forms a guide channel, so that when the switch housing 3 approaches the mounting base 2 axially, even with a certain angular or positional deviation, the locking part 203 can be easily guided into the clearance groove 302. This achieves coarse positioning and effective avoidance of key components, reducing assembly difficulty and the risk of component damage. The clearance groove 302 and the fixing area are offset axially, so that after the locking part 203 slides into the clearance groove 302, it needs to undergo a certain axial displacement to reach the final locking and fixing area. This embodiment not only reduces the resistance during the assembly process of the switch housing 3 and the base 201, avoiding rigid collision between the locking part 203 and the switch housing 3 that could cause damage to the locking part 203, but also provides a guiding effect for the assembly of the switch housing 3, reducing the alignment and positioning time and improving assembly efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, the side of the clearance groove 302 away from the center axis of the handlebar 1 is inclined, so that after the locking part 203 contacts the switch body 201, the resistance gradually increases as the switch body 201 continues to slide, thus avoiding the problem of the locking part 203 breaking due to excessive resistance.

[0056] Please see Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the inner end of the base 201 also has a locking block 2013, and the switch housing 3 has a locking groove 303 adapted to the locking block 2013. The locking block 2013 and the locking groove 303 are axially inserted and engaged.

[0057] After the switch housing 3 is secured to the seat 201 via the locking area and the snap-fit ​​portion 203, the locking groove 303 and the locking block 2013 at the inner end of the seat 201 engage axially, forming a second mechanical interlock. This design greatly enhances the handlebar switch assembly's resistance to axial movement and torsion, firmly securing the switch housing 3 to the mounting base 2. Compared to relying solely on a single snap-fit ​​point, this embodiment employs a dual locking scheme of radial snap-fit ​​and axial insertion, effectively dispersing various complex loads acting on the switch housing 3 and transmitting them to the handlebar 1 through different structural paths. This avoids stress concentration and significantly improves the product's structural integrity and durability under harsh operating conditions. Simultaneously, the axial insertion provides clear feedback at the assembly end, ensuring consistent assembly quality.

[0058] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the seat 201 has a wedge-shaped structure and its width gradually decreases along the direction close to the handlebar 1.

[0059] Once the switch housing 3 slides into position axially, the wedge-shaped seat 201 and the mounting groove 305 form a radial locking structure, preventing axial movement between the mounting seat 2 and the switch housing 3. This embodiment ensures that the handlebar switch assembly maintains stable connection even under the vibrations of long-term motorcycle operation, further enhancing the tightness of the connection and fundamentally eliminating the risk of loosening, thus greatly improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0060] It should be noted that "width" refers to the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the seat body 201, and the central axis of the seat body 201 refers to the line connecting the center of the seat body 201 and the handlebar axis.

[0061] As not shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the positioning part 202 includes a support member and a protective sleeve wrapped around the support member, both of which are connected to the base 201.

[0062] The internal support provides the necessary structural strength and rigidity for the positioning part 202, ensuring that it can withstand greater forces and achieve accurate and stable positioning when plugged into the handlebar 1, preventing positioning failure due to deformation. The external protective sleeve wraps around the support, acting as a buffer to effectively prevent the hard support from directly contacting and scratching the surface of the handlebar 1, thus providing good protection. On the other hand, the elastic protective sleeve can form an interference fit or tight fit with the positioning hole or groove on the handlebar 1 after plugging in, which not only enhances the tightness of the connection, but also effectively attenuates and absorbs vibrations from the handlebar 1, further improving the stability and quietness of the switch assembly during operation.

[0063] Optionally, the support component can be a rigid member, such as a metal part, which has high strength and good resistance to deformation. The protective sleeve is cast onto the support component and can be made of rubber or plastic. After casting, the support component and the protective sleeve form an integral structure, which not only increases strength but also avoids rigid contact with the switch housing 3, reducing abnormal noise under stress.

[0064] Optionally, the positioning part 202 has a deformation hole along the radial direction.

[0065] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes the aforementioned handlebar switch assembly.

[0066] The vehicle provided by this utility model adopts the aforementioned handlebar switch assembly. The mounting base 2 can be pre-positioned and quickly and accurately inserted into the handlebar 1 via the positioning part 202 to achieve pre-installation. Subsequently, the switch housing 3 is slidably fitted onto the handlebar 1 along the axial direction, allowing its mounting groove 305 to accommodate the base 201. The fixing area and the snap-fit ​​part 203 complete the snap-fit ​​engagement, thus fixing the switch housing 3 to the handlebar 1. This installation process eliminates the need for bolts or other fasteners, greatly simplifying the assembly steps and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Furthermore, since the switch housing 3 is a single integral structure with its clearance hole 304 extending axially, the connection is not only more robust and reliable, avoiding the need for the traditional split housing to be fitted onto the handlebar 1 and then secured with bolts or other external connectors, but also simplifies the assembly steps. Moreover, the integral structure avoids the problem of complex curved parting surfaces affecting the product's appearance quality and dimensional accuracy due to molding errors, and also reduces the complexity of the mold and the difficulty of the injection molding process, thereby effectively controlling production costs. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​connection method ensures connection reliability while avoiding the risk of bolt loosening under vibration, improving the stability and safety of the switch assembly during motorcycle operation, and also facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement operations. This application simplifies the structure and significantly improves installation efficiency by designing the mounting base 2 and switch housing 3 as separable independent components and employing a fixing method combining the insertion of the positioning part 202 and the snap-fit ​​of the snap-fit ​​part 203.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
