Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The method for automatically adjusting the pressing force of the vehicle switch can be specifically applied to a control system inside a vehicle and used for automatically adjusting the pressing force of the vehicle switch inside the vehicle, so that the pressing force of the vehicle switch completely accords with the operation habit of a user, and the operation hand feeling and experience of the user using the vehicle switch are improved. It is understood that the control system in the vehicle interior may be a control system of the entire vehicle, or may be a control system of any device or mechanism in the vehicle interior.

In one embodiment, a method for automatically adjusting the pressing force of a vehicle switch is provided, which can be applied to an automatic pressing force adjusting system (system for short) of a vehicle switch on a vehicle. The vehicle switch comprises M groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies, each pressing force adjusting assembly comprises a pressing transmission part, a first matching part and a second matching part, and the first matching parts are normally abutted against the pressing transmission parts to support the pressing transmission parts. The vehicle switch is provided with a pressing part, a pressing surface is arranged on the pressing part, and the pressing force adjusting assembly is arranged on one side of the pressing part far away from the pressing surface. Specifically, the pressing transmission portion is connected to the pressing portion. The first matching part is normally stopped against the pressing transmission part to support the pressing transmission part. And the first and second mating portions may mate by way of an electrical, magnetic, or other mechanical mechanism. As long as the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion can be engaged with and disengaged from each other. Wherein, M is a positive integer, the number of the pressing force adjusting assemblies in a vehicle switch can be set according to actual needs, and the more the number of the pressing force adjusting assemblies is, the higher the precision or amplitude of the pressing force adjustment of the vehicle switch is.

In this embodiment, the pressing force automatic adjustment method includes:

Wherein, the pressing force adjusting instruction is a control instruction. The pressing force adjustment instruction may be generated according to a preset trigger timing. For example, the trigger timing may be the sensing of a user's need to maneuver the vehicle, or after the vehicle is started. Specifically, the pressing-force adjustment command may specifically indicate which pressing-force adjustment assembly or pressing-force adjustment assemblies (N groups) of the M groups of pressing-force adjustment assemblies are controlled, and further include a manner of engagement of the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion in each of the controlled pressing-force adjustment assemblies, which may include engagement or disengagement. It is to be understood that N may be equal to M, or N may be less than M. The specific value of N can be determined according to the magnitude of the pressing force required to be adjusted.

Specifically, when the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion, the second engaging portion is disengaged from the pressing force transmitting portion, and accordingly, the pressing force of the vehicle switch is reduced. When the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion are disengaged, the second engaging portion and the pressing force transmitting portion come into contact with each other, and accordingly, the pressing force of the vehicle switch is increased. Therefore, by controlling the matching mode of the second matching part and the first matching part in the M groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies, the adjustment of different pressing forces of the vehicle switch can be realized.

In this embodiment, M groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies are included in the vehicle switch, and by controlling the second matching portion and the first matching portion in N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies in the vehicle switch to be matched or separated so that the second matching portion and the pressing transmission portion are separated or contacted, different pressing forces of the vehicle switch can be adjusted, so that a user can adjust the pressing force of the vehicle switch according to different pressing force requirements when using a vehicle.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, before the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion of the N groups of pressing force adjusting components in the vehicle switch are controlled to engage or disengage according to the pressing force adjusting command to disengage or contact the second engaging portion and the pressing force transmitting portion, the pressing force automatic adjusting method further includes:

s101: and acquiring personnel identity information of a target person, wherein the target person is a person who operates the vehicle at present.

In this embodiment, the system may perform identity recognition on the target person by using face recognition, fingerprint recognition, or other identity recognition techniques, so as to obtain the person identity information of the target person. In practical applications, the target person is generally a person who is currently operating the vehicle. It will be appreciated that the system may require the target person (e.g., driver, owner) to register identity information, including but not limited to name, gender, facial characteristics, fingerprint characteristics, and/or other biometric characteristics, upon initial activation, and assign a system account to the target person, and when the system is activated again, the identity of the target person may be identified and compared to the registered account information on the system to determine the current identity of the target person.

In a specific application scenario, in order to facilitate identification of the identity information of a driver, and organically integrate the identity identification function into the framework of an existing vehicle, a face identification mode can be selected for identification of a target person, wherein a camera for collecting a face image of the target person is installed on a steering wheel of the target vehicle, and a lens faces towards the driving position. Further, step S101 may include:

acquiring a face image of a target person at a driving position through a camera, wherein the camera is installed on a steering wheel of the target vehicle and a lens faces the driving position;

extracting face feature information on the face image to obtain target feature information;

and determining the personnel identity information of the target personnel by comparing the target characteristic information with each reserved facial characteristic information.

When a target person sits on a driving seat, the camera arranged on the steering wheel of the target vehicle collects the face image of the target person and transmits the face image to the system, so that the system can collect the face image of the target person.

After the system acquires the face image of the target person, the face feature information in the face image is easy to extract, namely the target feature information of the target person.

According to the content, each piece of facial feature information can be reserved in the registered account on the system, and the facial feature information is reserved by the user of the registered account, so that each piece of facial feature information at least corresponds to the identity information of one person. The system can compare the target characteristic information with each reserved facial characteristic information one by one, find out the facial characteristic information consistent with the target characteristic information, and the identity information corresponding to the facial characteristic information is the personnel identity information of the target personnel. In particular, if all the facial feature information reserved in the system is inconsistent with the target feature information, the target person may be considered to belong to an unregistered person, for example, the target person is a new driver of the vehicle or the target vehicle is a new vehicle, and at this time, the system may directly determine the person identity information of the target person as a stranger, and information items such as gender, name, and the like may be directly recorded as empty.

When the system determines that the target person is a stranger, the system can also request the target person to register an account, enter an account registration process, and acquire the identity information of the target person by manually inputting personal information by the target person.

S102: and generating a pressing force adjusting instruction according to the personnel identity information.

And after the personnel identity information is obtained, pressing a force adjusting instruction according to the personnel identity information. Specifically, the pressing force adjustment instruction may be generated by acquiring pressing force configuration data set in advance in the vehicle according to the person identification information. That is, the pressing force preference of the vehicle switch of the target person, which is reflected by the pressing force configuration data, has been set in advance. It can be understood that, as long as the target person is set in the vehicle in advance, the pressure configuration data corresponding to the person identification information may be acquired in the vehicle. From the pressure configuration data, the selection of the preferred pressing force of the vehicle switch can be determined, and then the N groups of pressing force adjustment assemblies to be determined and the matching mode of each pressing force adjustment assembly can be determined.

Further, different preferred pressing forces may also be preconfigured according to the gender in the person identity information, so that, after determining the gender of the target person, an adjustment instruction may be generated according to the preconfigured different preferred pressing forces.

Alternatively, the pressing force adjustment command may be generated by setting a preferable pressing force in advance according to other factors (for example, age) in the personal identification information.

In this embodiment, the pressing force adjustment instruction is generated by acquiring the person identity information of the target person and according to the person identity information. The vehicle switch can intelligently generate different pressing force adjusting instructions according to different personnel identity information so as to intelligently adjust the pressing force of the vehicle switch.

s201: and determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information.

S202: determining the optimal pressing force of the vehicle switch according to the gender of the target person and a preset gender pressing force corresponding relation, wherein the gender pressing force corresponding relation records the corresponding relation between the gender of the target person and the optimal pressing force of the vehicle switch;

s203: the pressing force adjustment command is generated based on the preferred pressing force.

In this embodiment, it is considered that the general male driver is more prone to the vehicle switch with larger pressing force, and the female driver is more used to use the vehicle switch with smaller pressing force, so the system may determine the gender of the target person according to the person identity information, and then query the preset gender pressing force corresponding relationship according to the gender of the target person to determine the preferred pressing force of each vehicle switch in the vehicle. The preset gender pressing force correspondence relationship sets different preferred pressing forces corresponding to persons of different genders in advance, for example, a male may correspond to the preferred pressing force of a default high-force gear, a female may correspond to the preferred pressing force of a default low-force gear, the preferred pressing force of the default high-force gear is greater than the preferred pressing force of the default low-force gear, and a specific gear force value may be set according to actual conditions. After the preferred pressing force is determined, a pressing force adjustment command may be generated based on the preferred pressing force. That is, the male person can correspondingly control more second engagement portions to be disengaged from the first engagement portions so as to bring the second engagement portions into contact with the pressing transmission portions. And the female person can correspondingly control more second matching parts to be matched with the first matching parts so as to enable the second matching parts to be separated from the pressing transmission parts.

In the present embodiment, the pressing force adjustment instruction is generated by determining a preferred pressing force in accordance with the sex of the target person and generating the pressing force adjustment instruction based on the preferred pressing force. The pressing force of the vehicle switch can be intelligently adjusted by combining the basic characteristics of male personnel and female personnel, excessive and complex setting is not needed, and the self-adaptive adjustment of the vehicle switch is embodied.

In one embodiment, before the determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information, the method for automatically adjusting the pressing force of the vehicle switch further comprises:

s301: and calling the pressing force configuration data of the target person according to the person identity information.

S302: and if the pressing force configuration data is empty, triggering and executing the step of determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information.

Wherein the pressing force configuration data is a pressing force preference setting set in advance according to different target persons. The pressing force configuration data can be input by the target person through interaction with the vehicle, and can also be obtained through statistics according to the use habits of the user. It can be understood that if the pressing force configuration data is null, it indicates that the target person has not configured or recorded data yet. In this embodiment, if the pressing force configuration data is empty, the step of determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information is triggered, that is, the pressing force adjustment instruction is generated according to the pressing force configuration data of the target person preferentially, and if the target person does not have the pressing force configuration data, the pressing force adjustment instruction is generated according to the gender of the target person.

According to the embodiment, the pressing force configuration data of the target person is inquired preferentially, so that accurate matching of different persons is embodied, if the target person has the pressing force configuration data on the upper part, the pressing force adjusting instruction is generated through the gender of the target person, and the intelligence and diversification of the vehicle switch pressing force adjustment are better embodied.

In one embodiment, the generating a pressing force adjustment instruction according to the person identity information includes:

s401: and calling the pressing force configuration data of the target person according to the person identity information.

S402: and determining the optimal pressing force of the vehicle switch according to the pressing force configuration data.

S403: the pressing force adjustment command is generated based on the preferred pressing force.

In the present embodiment, among others, the pressing force configuration data is a pressing force preference setting set in advance according to different target persons. The pressing force configuration data can be input by the target person through interaction with the vehicle, and can also be obtained through statistics according to the use habits of the user. After the pressing force configuration data of the target person is obtained, a preferred pressing force of the vehicle switch can be determined according to the pressing force configuration data, and then the pressing force adjusting command is generated according to the preferred pressing force, so that the pressing force of the vehicle switch can be adjusted through the pressing force adjusting command. The method can ensure the individualized adaptation to different users, realizes the adaptation of thousands of people and thousands of surfaces, and better embodies the intellectualization of the pressing force adjustment of the vehicle switch.

In one embodiment, before the controlling of the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion of the N sets of pressing-force adjusting components in the vehicle switch according to the pressing-force adjusting instruction to disengage or disengage the second engaging portion and the pressing force transmitting portion from each other, the pressing-force automatic adjusting method further includes:

And if the target person is an unrecorded person, sending prompt information to prompt the target person to select the preferred pressing force, and generating a pressing force adjusting command according to the preferred pressing force selected by the target person.

Preferably, after the sending of the prompt message, the method for automatically adjusting the pressing force further includes:

recording the preferred pressing force selected by the target person as pressing force configuration data of the target person. The method includes the steps that the optimal pressing force selected by the target person is recorded, pressing force configuration data of the target person are obtained, and when the target person operates next time, a pressing force adjusting command can be directly generated according to the recorded pressing force configuration data, so that the pressing force of a vehicle switch can be adjusted.

In this embodiment, the vehicle operating conditions include normal driving conditions and in-vehicle entertainment conditions. The whole vehicle driving condition is that the vehicle is in a normal vehicle driving control mode, and all devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle execute functions related to the vehicle driving control. The vehicle-mounted entertainment working condition means that the vehicle is in a non-vehicle driving control mode, and all devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle execute functions irrelevant to the vehicle driving control. For example, the in-vehicle entertainment condition may be that the vehicle is in an in-vehicle entertainment mode, a musical instrument simulation mode, a flight deck simulation mode, or the like.

Corresponding preferred pressing forces are set in advance for different vehicle operating conditions. For example, in the normal driving condition, the preferable pressing force may be set to be larger for the purpose of causing a traffic accident due to the accidental touch of the mode object person, and in the in-vehicle entertainment condition, the preferable pressing force may be set to be smaller for the purpose of convenience and comfort of operation. Therefore, the preferred pressing force in the normal driving condition may be set to be greater than the preferred pressing force in the in-vehicle entertainment condition. The setting of the optimal pressing force under different vehicle working conditions can be a system default setting of the vehicle or a user-defined setting of a target user. After the vehicle operating condition is detected and confirmed, a preferable pressing force of the vehicle switch can be confirmed according to the vehicle operating condition, and the pressing force adjusting command is further generated according to the preferable pressing force so as to control the vehicle switch to adjust the pressing force.

In this embodiment, through detecting vehicle operating mode, and then confirm different preferred pressing force according to different vehicle operating modes, can realize the intelligent regulation at the vehicle switch of different vehicle operating modes, further embodied the intelligence that the pressing force of vehicle switch adjusted.

In one embodiment, the determining the preferred pressing force of the vehicle switch according to the vehicle operating condition includes:

and if the vehicle working condition is the vehicle-mounted entertainment working condition, determining the minimum pressing force of the vehicle switch as the optimal selection pressing force.

In the embodiment, if the vehicle operating condition is the in-vehicle entertainment operating condition, the minimum pressing force of the vehicle switch is determined as the preferred pressing force. The minimum pressing force through with the vehicle switch confirms that it can guarantee to select the pressing force for preferred in on-vehicle amusement operating mode, and user's control is lighter and more convenient, has promoted the interactive experience of user and vehicle greatly.

In this embodiment, if the vehicle operating condition is a normal driving condition of the vehicle, the pressing force adjustment instruction is finally generated by acquiring the identity information of the target person. Specifically, the manner of generating the pressing force adjustment instruction according to the person identity information may be the same as the manner of generating the pressing force adjustment instruction according to the person identity information in any of the embodiments described above, and details are not repeated here.

In this embodiment, if the vehicle operating condition is a normal driving operating condition, the pressing force adjustment instruction is further determined according to the personnel identity information, and adaptive adjustment of the vehicle switch pressing force is ensured.

It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by functions and internal logic of the process, and should not limit the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention in any way.

The vehicle switch provided by the embodiment of the invention can be a vehicle switch device capable of adjusting the pressing force, a system of a vehicle can send a control signal to the vehicle switch device according to needs, the vehicle switch device adjusts the pressing force of the vehicle switch according to the control signal, the automatic adjustment of the pressing force of the vehicle switch is realized, the pressing force of the vehicle switch is automatically adjusted in combination with the operation habit of a self-adaptive user, and the operation hand feeling and experience of the user using the target vehicle switch are improved.

A switching device 100 (vehicle switch) for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to fig. 7 to 10. Wherein the switch device 100 can be a steering wheel switch, a central control switch, a window control switch, a ceiling switch, etc.

As shown in fig. 7, 8 and 10, the switching device 100 for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: an operating button 1, an elastic fitting 2 and a circuit board 3.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the operation button 1 includes a pressing portion 11, a signal transmission portion 12, and a pressing transmission portion 13, the signal transmission portion 12 and the pressing transmission portion 13 are provided at an interval and are connected to the pressing portion 11, respectively, and a pressing surface a is provided on the pressing portion 11. Here, the signal transmitting portion 12 and the pressing transmitting portion 13 may be both provided on a side of the pressing portion 11 away from the pressing surface a.

The elastic matching element 2 is located on one side of the operation button 1 far away from the pressing surface a, the elastic matching element 2 is provided with an elastic driving portion 21 and a first matching portion 22, the elastic driving portion 21 is provided with a conductive portion 211, the first matching portion 22 is provided with a magnetic attraction first matching element 221, the elastic driving portion 21 always abuts against the signal transmission portion 12 to support the signal transmission portion 12, and the first matching portion 22 always abuts against the pressing transmission portion 13 to support the pressing transmission portion 13.

As can be seen from this, when the operation button 1 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic driving portion 21 always supports the signal transmission portion 12 and thus the operation button 1. The first engaging portion 22 always supports the push transmission portion 13, and thus the operation button 1. Therefore, the supporting effect of the elastic fitting piece 2 on the operating button 1 can be improved, namely, the supporting elastic force of the elastic fitting piece 2 on the operating button 1 is increased, so that when a user uses the switch device 100, the user can press the operating button 1 with larger force, the operation feeling of the user using the switch device 100 can be enhanced, and the misoperation prevention effect of the switch device 100 is enhanced. For example, when the switch device 100 is a steering wheel switch, a certain driving risk is generated by an erroneous operation, and the switch device 100 according to the present invention is highly safe.

In the case of receiving an external force, the operation button 1 may be pressed against the elastic supporting force of the elastic driving part 21 and the first fitting part 22 to trigger the switching function of the switching device 100. The operation button 1 can also provide an elastic supporting force for the operation button 1 by using the elastic driving part 21 and the first matching part 22 so that the operation button 1 can be restored to the original position in case of losing the external force after being pressed.

The circuit board 3 is disposed on a side of the resilient fitting member 2 away from the operation button 1, the circuit board 3 is disposed with a second fitting portion 31 (taking an electromagnet as an example) and a plurality of control contacts 32 that are turned off, and the first fitting member 221 and the second fitting portion 31 are fitted or separated to separate or contact the first fitting portion 22 and the press transmission portion 13. The plurality of control contacts 32 are spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of control contacts 32 are spaced apart from the conductive member 211, respectively, and the conductive member 211 is electrically conducted to contact the plurality of control contacts 32 when the operation button 1 is pressed. Accordingly, when the operation button 1 is pressed to the conductive member 211 to turn on the open control contact 32, the open control contact 32 is electrically connected and closed, and the switching function of the switching device 100 can be triggered.

Meanwhile, when the second engaging portion 31 engages with the first engaging member 221, the first engaging portion 22 disengages from the pressing transmission portion 13, and the first engaging portion 22 cannot provide elastic supporting force for the operation button 1, so that the external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is relatively small. When the second engaging portion 31 is disengaged from the first engaging portion 221, the first engaging portion 22 is in contact engagement with the pressing transmitting portion 13, and the first engaging portion 22 is in a state of supporting the pressing transmitting portion 13, so as to provide an elastic supporting force for the operation button 1, and an external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is relatively large.

Accordingly, when the operation button 1 is pressed until the conductive member 211 comes into contact with the plurality of control contacts 32, the plurality of control contacts 32 arranged at intervals are electrically connected and closed, and the switching function of the switching device 100 can be triggered.

The electromagnet 31 and the magnetic attraction piece 221 are arranged at intervals, the circuit board 3 controls whether the electromagnet 31 is electrified or not according to the received control signal, and when the electromagnet 31 is electrified, the electromagnet 31 and the magnetic attraction piece 221 are in magnetic attraction fit so that the first matching part 22 is disengaged from the pressing transmission part 13. It can be seen that, when the control signal received by the circuit board 3 is to control the electromagnet 31 to be powered off, as shown in fig. 7, the electromagnet 31 does not have magnetic attraction, the first matching portion 22 is in a state of supporting the pressing transmitting portion 13, and at this time, the external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is large. However, when the control signal received by the circuit board 3 is to control the electromagnet 31 to be energized, as shown in fig. 2, the electromagnet 31 can have magnetism, the electromagnet 31 and the magnetic attraction piece 221 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic driving portion 21 to be magnetically engaged, and further the first engaging portion 22 is disengaged from the pressing transmitting portion 13, at this time, the first engaging portion 22 cannot provide the elastic supporting force for the operation button 1, and the external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is relatively small.

When the driver is female, and the pressing force for pressing the operation button 1 is desired to be small, the electromagnet second fitting part 31 can be controlled to be fitted with the first fitting member 221. And (5) electrifying. For another example, when the driver is controlling the vehicle to run (normal driving condition), the electromagnet second engaging portion 31 may be controlled to be disengaged from the first engaging member 221. No power is applied. When the system of vehicle gets into on-vehicle recreation network (on-vehicle amusement operating mode), and switching device 100 is then when being used as the operating keyboard, can control the cooperation of electromagnet second cooperation portion 31 and first cooperation piece 221 in order to reduce the required pressing force of operating button 1, and then the circular telegram is in order to the user operation, reduce the operation degree of difficulty, can avoid causing the fatigue of hand under higher pressing force to a certain extent simultaneously, improve switching device 100's sensitivity and travelling comfort, improve user's gaming experience. Meanwhile, the switch device 100 of the embodiment of the invention has a simple structure, occupies a small space and is convenient to manufacture.

It can be understood that, when the transmission portion 13 is pressed, the first matching portions 22 and the second matching portions 31 of the electromagnets are respectively disposed in a plurality of and in one-to-one correspondence, and each of the first matching portions 22 is provided with the first matching element 221 of the magnetic element, then a user can input more different control signals to the circuit board 3 according to requirements, and further can control the second matching portions 31 of the electromagnets and the corresponding first matching elements 221 of the electromagnets in a separated or matched state, or in different on-off states, so as to adjust the pressing force for pressing the operation button 1 to trigger the switching function of the switching device 100, so that the switching device 100 has higher flexibility in use, the operation experience of the user can be further improved, and the comfort of the user can be improved.

It can be understood that, if the operation button 1 is small, the arrangement of the above structure is inconvenient, so that the switch device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is more suitable for a structure in which the pressing surface a of the operation button 1 is large, and thus the stability and durability of the operation button 1 can be effectively ensured.

According to the switching device 100 for the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the pressing transmission part 13, the first fitting part 22, and the electromagnet second fitting part 31, and the first fitting part 22 constantly abuts against the pressing transmission part 13 to support the pressing transmission part 13, the first fitting piece 221 and the second fitting part 31 are fitted or disengaged to disengage or contact the first fitting part 22 and the pressing transmission part 13. The electromagnet 31 and the magnetic attraction piece 221 are arranged at intervals, the circuit board 3 controls whether the electromagnet 31 is electrified or not according to the received control signal, and when the electromagnet 31 is electrified, the electromagnet 31 and the magnetic attraction piece 221 are in magnetic attraction fit to enable the first fitting part 22 and the pressing transmission part 13 to be disengaged. Therefore, when the user uses the vehicle, the user can control whether the second matching part 31 of the electromagnet is matched with or separated from the first matching part 221 in the electrified state according to the requirement of different pressing force, and further control the pressing force for pressing the operation button 1 of the switch device 100 according to the embodiment of the invention, so that the use flexibility of the switch device 100 is improved, and the operation experience of the user is improved.

Therefore, the operation button 1 can be simultaneously supported by the plurality of first matching parts 22 and the elastic driving part 21, which is favorable for making the touch feeling of the user pressing the operation button 1 more obvious. Since each first engaging portion 22 is provided with the magnetic attracting element 221, after the circuit board 3 receives the control signal and the control electromagnet 31 is energized, the magnetic attracting element 221 on the elastic driving portion 21 can be magnetically engaged with the electromagnet 31 to disengage each elastic driving portion 21 from the corresponding pressing transmitting portion 13, so as to reduce the pressing force for pressing the operation button 1.

It can be seen that when the control electromagnet is de-energized, as shown in fig. 7, the electromagnet has no magnetic attraction force, the first engaging portion 22 is in a state of supporting the pressing transmitting portion 13, and the external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is large. However, when the electromagnet is controlled to be energized, as shown in fig. 8, so that the electromagnet has a magnetic attraction force, the electromagnet and the magnetic attraction member can overcome the elastic force of the elastic driving portion 21 to be magnetically engaged, and further the first engaging portion 22 is disengaged from the pressing transmitting portion 13, at this time, the first engaging portion 22 cannot provide an elastic supporting force for the operation button 1, and the external force required when the operation button 1 is pressed is relatively small. Therefore, when a user uses the vehicle, the user can control whether the electromagnet is electrified or not according to different pressing force requirements, and further control the pressing force for pressing the operation button 1 of the switch device 100 according to the embodiment of the invention, so that the use flexibility of the switch device 100 is improved, and the operation experience of the user is improved.

It is also possible that the elastic driving portion 21 is in surface contact with the signal transmitting portion 12 when the elastic driving portion 21 abuts on the signal transmitting portion 12, but the first engaging portion 22 is not in surface contact with the pressing transmitting portion 13 when the first engaging portion 22 abuts on the pressing transmitting portion 13. It is also possible that the first engaging portion 22 is in surface contact with the pressing transmitting portion 13 when the first engaging portion 22 abuts against the pressing transmitting portion 13, but the elastic driving portion 21 is not in surface contact with the signal transmitting portion 12 when the elastic driving portion 21 abuts against the signal transmitting portion 12.

For example, the light emitting color and/or the light emitting luminance of the light emitting element 33 may be matched to the pressing force of the operation button 1, that is, when the elastic driving portion 21 is supported on the signal transmission portion 12 and the first engaging portion 22 is supported on the pressing transmission portion 13, the pressing force of the operation button 1 is larger, and the light emitting color and/or the light emitting luminance of the light emitting element 33 can be controlled to be darker. When the first engaging portion 22 is disengaged from the push transmitting portion 13 and the pushing force of the operation button 1 is reduced, the light emitting color and/or the light emitting luminance of the light emitting member 33 can be controlled to be reduced. It can be understood that, when the pressing transmission portion 13, the first matching portion 22 and the electromagnet 31 are plural at the same time and the magnetic attracting element 221 is disposed on each first matching portion 22, the pressing force range of the operation button 1 is larger, so that the light-emitting color and/or the light-emitting brightness range of the light-emitting element 33 can be correspondingly increased. The user can intuitively feel the difference in pressing force of pressing the operation button 1 according to the light emission color and/or the light emission luminance.

When the identity recognition device recognizes that the driver is a male, the vehicle enters a large force gear by default, at this time, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the second matching part 31 correspondingly arranged with the first matching part 22 with the F4 elastic supporting force in the three second matching parts 31 to be electrified, then the other two first matching parts 22 are all stopped against the corresponding pressing transmission part 13 to provide the elastic supporting force, and the pressing force F0 of the user pressing the operation button 1 at this time satisfies: f0= F1+ F2+ F3=4.7N. The pressing force of this range is suitable for areas such as a steering wheel switch with high requirement for misoperation prevention or switch areas defined by users.

When the identification device identifies that the driver is female, the vehicle defaults to enter a low-force gear, at this time, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the two second matching parts 31 which are arranged corresponding to the first matching part 22 with the F4 elastic supporting force and the first matching part 22 with the F3 elastic supporting force in the three second matching parts 31 to be electrified, the other first matching part 22 stops against the corresponding pressing transmission part 13 to provide the elastic supporting force, and the pressing force F0 of the user pressing the operating button 1 at this time satisfies: f0= F1+ F2=3N.

The pressing force F0 of the user pressing the operation button 1 satisfies: f0= F1=0.8N. In this position, the pressing force of the operation button 1 is minimized, the sensitivity of the switch device 100 can be improved, and the comfort of the user pressing the operation button 1 can be improved. The pressing force of the gear is suitable for a switch which can be used for game control in a vehicle after the vehicle-mounted game system is started. When the switch device 100 is in the default gear, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls none of the three electromagnets 31 to be powered on, and then the three first matching portions 22 all abut against the corresponding pressing transmission portions 13 to provide the elastic supporting force, and at this time, the pressing force F0 of the user pressing the operation button 1 satisfies: f0= F1+ F2+ F3+ F4. This position maximizes the pressing force of the operation button 1, and is suitable for users who prefer to use a large force.

When the switch device 100 is in the middle gear, the user can send different control signals to the circuit board 3 according to the personal preference of the force for pressing the operation button 1 to control one or two of the three electromagnets 31 to be electrified, so that the corresponding first matching parts 22 are disengaged from the corresponding pressing transmission parts 13, and after the first matching parts are disengaged, the elastic supporting force cannot be provided for the pressing transmission parts 13. The pressing force F0 at this time when the user presses the operation button 1 satisfies: f0= any one of F1+ F2+ F3, F0= F1+ F2+ F4, F0= F1+ F3+ F4, F0= F1+ F2, F0= F1+ F4, and F0= F1+ F3. In this gear, the pressing force of the operating button 1 is at a middle value, different values can be adjusted according to the preference of the user strength, and the female die is suitable for women with middle preference.
