Abstract

A vehicle control device is used to solve a problem of many components and difficult to assemble of the conventional vehicle control device. The vehicle control device includes a shell which has a housing space inside, and a sliding part moving relative to the shell. The shell includes an elastic sheet which has a convex part on a free end of the elastic sheet. The convex part faces the housing space. The sliding part includes a groove locating in the housing space. When the sliding part locating in a starting part, the convex part of the elastic sheet aligns to the groove. When the sliding part moving, the convex part breaks away the groove, the sliding part pushes the convex, and the elastic sheet is out of shape.

Description

car control switch

The present invention relates to a device for switching vehicle functions, in particular to a vehicle control switch with simple structure and easy assembly.

Generally, the control switch is used for operating equipment such as vehicles or machine tools. Since the user must concentrate on controlling the operation of the equipment, such as: accelerator pedal, turning direction, etc., the above-mentioned control switch preferably has a reset function and can give feedback when it is toggled. , so that the user can simply and quickly switch the function by mobilizing the control switch relationship, and can also confirm whether the switching action is executed through the sense of movement.

The conventional vehicle control switch has balls and springs, and the slider exerts force on the ball through the spring. When the conventional vehicle control switch is switched, the slider is displaced and drives the ball to roll along a trajectory. There can be several recesses corresponding to several switch positions respectively. Due to the return force of the spring pressing the ball, the ball tends to enter each recess and the slider is positioned at each switch position, and the slider is pushed by an external force. When the ball moves away from the concave portion and compresses the spring, the ball moves on the track and the displacement of the slider is switched. However, the size of the ball and the spring is small, and the slider must be combined with various switch circuits, which makes it difficult to assemble the conventional vehicle control switch, and even the ball and the spring are easy to lose. The work efficiency of wiring and maintenance of vehicle control switches is poor.

In view of this, it is still necessary to improve the conventional vehicle control switch.

In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle control switch, which is simple in structure and easy to assemble.

The next object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle control switch, which can feedback the actuation feeling during the switching process.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle control switch, which can return to positioning after switching.
