Below just accompanying drawing in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, is described in further detail the specific embodiment of the present invention, is easier to understand, grasp with the advantage and feature that make technical solution of the present invention.But the present invention is not limited to the embodiment of following displaying, but specifically can show with various different form.This embodiment is just in order to more intactly display the present invention, and for possessing general knowledge in the technical field belonging to the present invention, person intactly understands category of the present invention, and according to the definition that the scope of the present patent application item is done.The reference marks that entire chapter is mentioned in describing in detail, all refers to same inscape.
One embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, comprising: the body 140 being fixed on steering wheel (not marking in figure) side; Be incorporated on body 140, and in the side of steering wheel, when handle body 10 do towards up and down or fore-and-aft direction spinning movement time, rely on and to form fixed terminal circuit part (not marking in figure) that contact is connected with the part in the multiple mobile terminal 153,155 of its interlock and print PCB sub-assembly 220 thereon; Be incorporated on body 140, by means of all the other parts in multiple mobile terminal 153,155, is formed the insulator contact board portion 210 of multiple fixed terminal portion (not marking in figure) the insert injection mouldings shapings that contact connects with direct Starting mode.
On body 140, the protective cover portion 160 that PCB sub-assembly and insulator contact board portion and the external world are separated can be combined thereon.During concrete enforcement, this body 140 is also provided with lower cover 105.
At this, PCB sub-assembly 220 comprises general electric component and is brazed in tellite (not marking in figure) on substrate, refers to the circuit part being printed with to control electric circuit on the single or double of tellite.A part in circuit part, with the branch in multiple mobile terminal 153,155 in the mode directly contacted, form the multiple fixed terminal circuit parts sending and specify electrical contact signal.
In addition, the multiple fixed terminal circuit parts on PCB sub-assembly 220, are applicable to making low load switch and use.That is, even if do not use big current to be also enough to perform its switching function.Therefore, be suitable for, after generating the electrical contact signal of specifying, controlling in appropriate voltage distribution mode by means of control part.This is also a strong point of the present invention.
But multiple function actuators of automobile, because of the difference of its function actuator starting state and mode, also exist the situation being not suitable for using low load switch.In this case, utilize PCB sub-assembly 220 to form multiple fixed terminal circuit part meaningless, therefore an insulator contact board portion 210 need be configured again.
As mentioned above, in insulator contact board portion 210, in the multiple mobile terminal 153,155 linked with handle body, except making multiple fixed terminal portions of configuration on PCB sub-assembly 220, form outside the mobile terminal 153,155 of contact connection, all the other rely on mobile terminal 153,155, form multiple fixed terminal portions that contact connects, are formed in insert injection moulding mode.
At this, insulator contact board portion 210, although with the insulator that conventional art project is illustrated, form and perform be functionally corresponding, but compared with conventional art, the present invention in insulator contact board portion 210, without the need to configuring other connection-peg shell, each leading section soldering in multiple fixed terminal portion, on the tellite of PCB sub-assembly 220, plays the effect of soldering supporting leg.
Multiple fixed terminal portions in insulator contact board portion 210 can be the copper coin circuit of injection molded on the resin of isolation material.
In multiple fixed terminal portions that insulator contact board portion 210 is formed, multiple mobile terminal 153,155 is incorporated on PCB sub-assembly 220 with brazing mode, thus accepts the control of the voltage distribution mode signal that control part sends.Therefore, on execution high capacity switching function, while keeping its applicability, the volume in insulator contact board portion 210 can be reduced, there is the advantage making compact overall structure.
In addition, on PCB sub-assembly 220 and insulator contact board portion 210, as described above, multiple fixed contact circuit part and multiple fixed contact portion can be configured.The difference in multiple fixed contact circuit part and multiple fixed contact portion is, is to be formed on PCB sub-assembly 220, is still formed in insulator contact board portion 210.At this, by its handle body upper contact shape and pattern, following differentiation can be done: namely multiple fixed contact circuit part and multiple fixed contact portion divide into, when handle body does spinning movement towards fore-and-aft direction, while rotating by fore-and-aft direction, form the spinning movement contact portion (in Fig. 1 57C) that contact connects; With when handle body does spinning movement towards above-below direction, while left and right directions movement, form the distance-light transfer contact portion (in Fig. 1 57B) that contact connects.
In addition, an embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention also can comprise, when handle body does spinning movement, to the movement of multiple mobile portion of terminal 153,155 give guide, be incorporated into the guiding piece 150 on body 140.
Guiding piece 150 can be configured to, when handle body does spinning movement towards above-below direction, at body 140, especially above PCB sub-assembly 220, while doing move linearly towards left and right directions, what start in the multiple mobile portion of terminal 153,155 being fixed on guiding piece 150 is some, and what make in multiple fixed terminal circuit part that PCB sub-assembly 220 or insulator contact board portion 210 are formed or multiple fixed terminal is some, forms the state that contact connects.
In addition, guiding piece 150, while guiding the spill spin block 130 being incorporated into handle body to do spinning movement, by means of the mobile portion of terminal 133 be configured on spill spin block 130, namely the contact terminal in rotary moving do not marked in figure, plays a part that contact is connected more stable.
Meanwhile, configurable on guiding piece 150, when multiple mobile terminal moves respectively in multiple fixed terminal circuit part and multiple fixed terminal portion, guide its movement, in multiple guiding groove figure of up/down perforation, do not do symbol mark.
Multiple fixed terminal circuit parts that PCB sub-assembly 220 is formed, although be substantially applied in when handle body does spinning movement towards fore-and-aft direction, ideal in the spinning movement contact portion that formation contact connects, not must be confined to this.Be applied in when handle body does spinning movement towards above-below direction, the distance-light transfer contact portion forming contact connection is also feasible.
Generally, be applied in spinning movement contact portion, still be applied in distance-light transfer contact portion, depend on that the multiple function actuators started by means of contact portion use big current or use small area analysis, and be perform as the function of high capacity switch from it, or perform functionally being distinguished as low load switch.
On an embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention, multiple fixed terminal circuit part, is applicable to perform low load switch function, is used as spinning movement contact as well so general.More detailed situation will describe at this paper rear portion.
The effect of an embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention now will formed as described above, with reference to accompanying drawing 4, is described below in detail.
But, one embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention, be configured with the headlamp flicker handle body controlling headlamp flicker in the side of steering wheel, and be separately configured with at the opposite side of steering wheel the wiper control crank body controlling wiper action.For convenience of description, although be based on the operate condition of wiper control crank body herein, be illustrated, this does not also mean that main idea of the present invention can be interpreted as certain part biased toward wherein.
As shown in Figure 4, the spinning movement contact portion that PCB sub-assembly 220 is formed, along with handle body is towards the spinning movement of fore-and-aft direction, the spinning movement contact terminal 133 by means of configuration on spill spin block 130 forms contact and connects.
The startup of wiper controls as shown in Figure 4, can specifically divide into, and for making it run at a relatively high speed, is placed in by running contact terminal 133 " the HI pattern " that L1 circuit formed contact connection; With for making it run by normal speed, running contact terminal 133 is placed in " the LO pattern " that L2 circuit form contact and connect; With for making it intermittent run, and running contact terminal 133 is placed in " the INT pattern " that L3 circuit form contact and connect; And for making it only do one-off by the intention of operator, thus running contact terminal 133 is placed in " the MIST pattern " that L5 circuit formed contact connection.
At this, when running contact terminal 133 be placed in L4 circuit forms contact connect time, do not send any contact signal, therefore wiper is controlled in cut out (OFF state).
The running contact portion that PCB sub-assembly 220 is formed, held (earth terminal) by the GND respectively by each pattern configurations and held with GND and keep certain intervals distance, and respectively by each pattern terminal (HI end, LO end, INT end, the MIST end) composition that each self mode is formed with different resistance.
The spinning movement contact terminal of configuration on spill spin block 130, when being connected with each pattern terminal contact respectively, control part makes an explanation to the electrical contact signal generated with resistance different separately, and the function actuator controlling wiper performs corresponding function.This control mode goes for the distance-light transfer contact portion be incorporated in soldering mode on PCB sub-assembly 220 equally.
According to as mentioned above, an embodiment of automobile multifunctional switch assembly 100 Worth Expecting of the present invention, the electrical contact signal that its spinning movement contact portion and distance-light transfer contact portion send relies on different resistance value to generate.Therefore, voltage distribution mode directly can be adopted to control, thus the volume of product can be reduced, also there is the advantage improving durability of product and contact stability.
Except preferred embodiment, the present invention can also have other execution mode, and all employings are equal to the technical scheme of replacement or equivalent transformation formation, all drop within the present invention's scope required for protection.
