The driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention is a driver's seat power window switch operated by the operation of the driver's seat switch knob 100 that can open and close the driver's window in the general power window switch device as shown in FIG. 1. The module may be configured to open and close all windows of all seats according to an embodiment of the present invention together with a function of opening and closing a driver's window like a general driver's seat power window switch module.

That is, the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to form a part of a general power window switch device, as shown in Figure 1 are arranged adjacent to the power window switch module for each seat as the same housing 20 and the base 10 may be configured to be mounted. However, as a separate device, it may be configured as a separate device separately from the power window switch module for each seat.

2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the internal structure of the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a schematic view showing an operating state of the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention It is an operation state diagram.

Driver seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention is coupled to the base 10 is mounted on the vehicle as shown in Figure 1 and the housing 20 is formed therein, and the housing 20 It comprises a switch knob 100 mounted on one side, a printed circuit board 300, the first and second switches 400, 500 and the operating rod 200 mounted in the inner space of the housing 20. That is, the operation rod 200 is interlocked according to the operation of the switch knob 100 and the first and second switches 400 and 500 mounted on the printed circuit board 300 are operated to generate a signal for opening and closing the window. It is composed.

The switch knob 100 is positioned outside the housing 20 to be operated by a user and is rotatably mounted to one side of the housing 20 to be operated in a rotational manner. The switch knob 100 is composed of a knob body 110 in the form of a button integrally formed as shown in Figure 2, the knob body 110, the knob body 110 is centered on a separate hinge axis (not shown) A hinge hole 140 is formed to be rotatable, and a knob 120 is formed at one end of the knob body 110 to facilitate manipulation of the knob body 110 by a user. When the user rotates the knob body 110, the handle part 120 may be formed in a plurality of jagged shapes in the form of a sawtooth so that the knob body 110 may be in close contact with the user's hand to feel a feeling of operation. Alternatively, the present invention may be modified in various other forms.

In addition, the switch knob 100 is formed with an operation protrusion 130 on one side of the knob body 110, the operation protrusion 130 will be described later when the knob body 110 rotates about the hinge hole 140. It is formed to transmit the operating load according to the rotation to the working rod 200. Therefore, when the knob body 110 is disposed in a horizontal state in a basic state, the end of the actuating protrusion 130 is preferably configured to be in contact with or very close to one end of the actuating rod 200. In addition, since the displacement amount of the operating protrusion 130 according to the rotation of the knob body 110 is adjusted as the distance from the hinge hole 140 to the operating protrusion 130 is adjusted, the operating protrusion 130 from the hinge hole 140. The amount of displacement of the actuating protrusion 130 may be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the distance to the actuating protrusion 130. Accordingly, the magnitude of the actuation load transmitted to the actuating rod 200 by the actuating protrusion 130 may be changed. will be.

On the other hand, the operating rod 200 is moved in conjunction with the rotation of the switch knob 100, as shown in Figure 2, the operating plate 210 and the operating plate 210 disposed in a horizontal state perpendicular to the switch knob ( And an actuating rib 220 protruding in a direction approaching 100. At this time, the operation rib 220 is formed at a position eccentrically in one direction from the center of the operation plate 210, one end is formed to be in contact with or close to the operation projection 130 of the switch knob 100 described above. do. Therefore, when the actuation load is transmitted downward from the actuation projection 130 to the actuation rod 220 in the direction of the actuation rod 200 according to the rotation of the switch knob 100, the actuation rib 220 is eccentric to the actuation plate 210. Since it is formed in the position, the operation plate 210 is disposed such that the end of the side on which the operating rib 220 is eccentrically moves downward and inclines before the end of the other side.

On the other hand, the lower side of the operation rod 200, the first and second switches 400, 500 which are operated as the operating load is transmitted by the operating rod 200 to generate a signal are printed circuit boards inside the housing 20 ( 300). In this case, the first and second switches 400 and 500 are disposed at both end portions of the operation plate 210 of the operation rod 200, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first switch 400 is disposed below the one end of the opposite side of the actuating plate 210 on which the actuating rib 220 is eccentric, and the second switch 500. ) May be positioned at the bottom of the other end of the operation plate 210. Therefore, as described above, since the actuating rib 220 is eccentrically positioned with respect to the center of the actuating plate 210, both ends of the actuating plate 210 are first moved downward by the side where the actuating rib 220 is eccentric. When the operating load is transmitted to the first switch 400, and then the operating load continues to act on the operating plate 210, the other end of the operating plate 210 moves downward and the operating load is transmitted to the second switch 500. . Accordingly, the first and second switches 400 and 500 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention are configured to sequentially receive operating loads from the operating rod 200 and to operate sequentially. Meanwhile, the configuration in which the first and second switches 400 and 500 operate sequentially may be changed in various ways such as implementing a separate link device in addition to the eccentric shape of the operation rod 200 as described above.

As described above, the first switch 400 of the first and second switches 400 and 500 that are sequentially operated may be formed in a rubber contact switch method as shown in FIG. 2. That is, the first switch 400 includes a terminal unit 410 mounted on the printed circuit board 300 having fixed and movable contacts embedded therein, and surrounding the terminal unit 410 to protect the terminal unit 410. It may be configured in the form of a rubber sleeve 420 of the rubber material disposed on the lower portion of the operation plate 210 of the furnace operation rod 200. In other words, since the rubber sleeve 420 is formed of a rubber material and has an elastic force, when the working load is applied to the rubber sleeve 420 by the operation plate 210, the rubber sleeve 420 elastically deforms and the terminal unit. The 410 may be crimped, and according to the crimping, the movable contact and the fixed contact of the terminal unit 410 may be connected to each other to generate an electrical signal. Such a rubber contact switch method may be configured in various ways in the form of intermittent contact using the elastic force of the rubber material.

On the other hand, the second switch 500 may be configured as a switch of the two-stage operation is operated in the first and second steps by different operating loads so that two signals are generated according to an embodiment of the present invention. As the two-stage operation switch, a two-stage tact switch may be applied as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, since the second switch according to an embodiment of the present invention operates in two stages, two signals are generated in two stages as the operating load transmitted from the operating rod 200 increases.

In more detail, as described above, when the switch knob 100 is rotated, an operating load is transmitted to the operating rod 200, and the operating rod 200 has an operating rib 220 eccentric to the operating plate 210. The operating load is first transmitted to the first switch 400 mounted on one side end of the eccentric side, and then the operating load is transferred to the second switch mounted on the other end. At this time, since the second switch 500 operates in two stages, when the operating load is continuously transmitted while the first switch 400 is operated, the second switch 500 operates first in the first stage and the first switch. Generate a signal, and then generate a second signal in a second step as the working load continues to be transmitted.

Therefore, the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention, the signal by the first switch 400, the signal by the first stage operation of the second switch 500, the second of the second switch 500 Three signals consisting of signals by step operations are generated. In this case, the three signals generated may be configured to occur sequentially as the switch knob 100 rotates in one direction as described above.

The driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention is a very efficient structure in terms of performance of the function according to the signal generation, because three signals are generated in one switch module, and various The function may be configured to be performed. For example, when a signal generated by the first switch 400 is generated, the driver's seat window is opened and closed while the first switch 400 is operated, and a second signal is generated in a state where the signal generated by the first switch 400 is generated. When the first stage operation signal of the switch 500 is generated, the driver's seat window is automatically opened and closed according to the occurrence of these two signals, and the second switch (when a signal is generated by the first switch 400 is generated). When the second stage operation signal of 500 is generated, the windows of the front seats of the vehicle may be configured to be opened and closed.

In other words, when the user operates the switch knob 100 to rotate at a predetermined angle, the first switch 400 is operated to open and close the driver's window, which is in a state in which the rotation angle of the switch knob 100 is maintained at that state. The driver's seat window may be opened and closed only while the first switch 400 is operated. Thereafter, when the user manipulates the switch knob 100 to rotate more, the second switch 500 operates in the first stage while the first switch 400 is operated, and the driver's window is automatically opened and closed. Can be. In this case, even if the rotation angle of the switch knob 100 is not maintained in the first stage operating state of the second switch 500, the window may be completely opened or closed even when the window is returned to the normal state. Then, when the user operates the switch knob 100 to rotate more, the second switch 500 operates in the second stage while the first switch is operated, and is configured in an automatic or manual manner in which windows of all seats of the vehicle are opened and closed. Can be. That is, the window of all the seats of the vehicle may be opened and closed only in a state in which the rotation angle of the switch knob 100 is maintained in the second stage operating state of the second switch 500. Alternatively, the switch knob 100 It may be configured in an automatic manner in which the windows of all the seats of the vehicle are fully opened and closed even when the rotation angle of the back is returned to the normal state.

According to this structure, the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention, unlike the prior art, the driver does not need to operate the corresponding power window switch knobs to open and close the windows of the passenger seat and the rear seat, respectively, By operating only the switch knob according to an embodiment of the present invention is a structure that can open and close the windows of all the seats at the same time.

An operating state of the driver's seat power window switch module according to an embodiment of the present invention described above is illustrated in FIG. 3, (a) is a diagram illustrating a case where the switch knob 100 is in a normal state, and (b) , (c) and (d) are diagrams illustrating the operating states of the first and second switches 400 and 500 that are operated as the switch knob 100 gradually rotates in one direction. That is, (b) state is a state in which the switch knob 100 is rotated by a predetermined angle to operate the first switch 400, (c) state is a state in which the switch knob 100 is further rotated to the first switch 400 ) Is a state in which the second switch 500 is operated in the first stage, (d) state is the second state in the state that the first switch 400 is operated by the switch knob 100 is further rotated The switch 500 has been operated in the second stage.

At this time, the configuration of the second switch 500 to operate in two stages is shown as a two-stage tact switch according to an embodiment of the present invention, unlike the two rubbers formed differently close to the operation plate 210 It may be configured in various ways, such as may be configured in the form of a contact switch.
