Description

Multidirectional switch with display

The present invention provides a multi-directional switch with a display, in particular, a structure in which the display module is not touched when the multi-directional switch is pressed, so as to achieve the added value of the product, the convenience of the operation pressing, and the cost reduction. Multi-directional switch.

According to the switch of the display of the appliance, it has been used for many years, and each of them uses various types of structures to combine the liquid crystal display and the mechanical switch structure to achieve this product.

The main function of the push button switch with display is that the display provided by the display can display the function graphic or text represented by the switch before and after the operation. Add value to the user's products to achieve a smarter control interface.

With the popularity of touch panel technology, the button switch of the display has been replaced, because the button switch of the original display can only be used for a simple control interface or multiple button switches with display and integrated software and hardware control. Therefore, there are disadvantages of poor convenience and high cost.

Although the touch panel is very flexible and convenient to use in combination with the display, there are still many limitations. For example, a small display is easy to touch because of the small picture, and the operation has no feedback (although the solution is costly). 3. The shortcomings of large purchase volume and high cost.

Therefore, how to solve the above problems and problems in the past, that is, the creators of the new type and the relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study the direction of improvement.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the creators of this new model have collected relevant information, and through multi-party evaluation and consideration, and through years of experience accumulated in the industry, through continuous trial and modification, the multi-directional display of such displays has been designed. The switch has both the display function and the low cost of the mechanical switch.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a module combining a small display module and a multi-directional switch body (such as a five-way switch), thereby enabling manufacturers to easily increase the product value and enhance the operation of the display module on the product. Convenience and cost reduction advantages.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is a multi-directional switch with a display, which is mainly a multi-directional switch body, the multi-directional switch system is connected with a button actuation module, and more importantly, the button actuation module The display module is mounted on the internal system, and the display module is fixed on the substrate. Therefore, the display module is suspended and fixed on the substrate by the copper column, and can be effectively performed by the user on the button actuation module. When the direction is pressed, only the button actuation module generates an angular displacement to trigger the multi-directional switch body, and the display module maintains a fixed position, thereby utilizing a small display module in this case. The module design combined with the multi-directional switch body (such as: five-way switch) is convenient to combine the case with the electronic product to increase the added value of the product, the convenience of operation pressing and the practical progress of reducing the cost.

In order to achieve the above objects and effects, the technical means and structure adopted by the present invention are described in detail in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the features and functions thereof are as follows.

Please refer to the first and second figures, which are perspective views and exploded views of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the multi-directional relationship of the novel display includes: a multi-directional switch body 11 a button actuation module 12 coupled to the multi-directional switch body 11 , at least one elastic component 13 defined between the button actuation module 12 and the multi-directional switch body 11 , and the button actuation module 12 includes There is a button 121 having at least one direction of operation and an actuation button 122 coupled to the button 121; a display module 14 for the actuation of the button actuation module 12 is located in the button actuation module 12, the display The module 14 is provided with a plurality of copper posts 141 fixed to the substrate 15 and electrically connected thereto. The display module 14 is disposed between the button 121 and the actuation button 122; and a multidirectional The switch body 11 is coupled to the active substrate 15 for fixing the display module 14 . The substrate 15 is provided with an information selection unit that is coupled to the multi-directional switch body 11 and the display module 14.

As shown above, the multi-directional switch body 11, the button actuation module 12 and the display module 14 are packaged via an outer frame 16.

With the above structure and composition design, the following is a description of the operation of the present invention. Please refer to the third to sixth figures at the same time, which is a cross-sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It can be clearly seen that when the user presses the button 121 in any direction on the button actuation module 12, the display module 14 can be effectively fixed to the display module by using the copper post 141 to be suspended and fixed on the substrate 15. The display angle of the group 14 is that the elastic element 13 is then compressed to trigger the multi-directional switch body 11 disposed on the substrate 15, and the substrate 15 sends a signal to the information selection unit, thereby displaying the same through the display module 14. The corresponding graphic is for the user to watch. For example, the display module 14 of the multi-directional switch structure with the display of the present invention can display various prompt messages, please also refer to the sixth figure, for example, the speed dial button used on the steering wheel of the car. First, press any key to enter the function menu. At this time, the display module 14 can display the main function image, and the left and right position 121 can be pressed to switch the air-conditioning through the multi-directional switch. Image of the main feature, like music, or constant speed, then to determine the intermediate position is pressed into the page do various settings and other functions, and finally press any button 121 three seconds to return Back to the first page, the editing or replacement of the image can be controlled or replaced by the program of the substrate 15, and the display module 14 can be displayed by the data of the substrate 15. In addition, the case can also be applied to any electronic products for installation, which can further replace the touch panel or multi-button human-machine interface to achieve the added value of the product, the convenience of operation and the cost reduction.

However, the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and thus does not limit the scope of the patent of the present invention. Therefore, all the simple modifications and equivalent structural changes that are made by using the present specification and the drawings are the same. It is included in the scope of this new patent and is given to Chen Ming.

Therefore, referring to all the drawings, when using the present invention, compared with the conventional technology, the following advantages are realized: a module combining the small display module 14 and the multi-directional switch body 11 is provided, thereby enabling the present invention to The organization allows manufacturers to easily install the display module 14 on the product to increase the added value of the product, while improving the convenience of operation and reducing the cost.

In summary, the multi-directional switch with the display of the present invention can achieve its efficacy and purpose when used, so the novel is a practical and excellent creation, and is in accordance with the requirements of the new patent application. To apply, I hope that the trial committee will grant this new type as soon as possible to protect the creators' hard work. If there is any doubt in the trial committee, please do not hesitate to give instructions. The creator will try his best to cooperate with him.
