As shown in FIG. 4 , the respective upper ends of the first side wall 38 and the second side wall 39 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the touchpad 31 , while their respective lower ends are fixedly connected to the back cover 37 . However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first side wall 38 and the second side wall 39 may be integrally formed with the back cover 37 .
如图5所示,触摸板31包括彼此层叠设置的覆盖件311和支撑件312,其中,覆盖件311盖设在支撑件312的上方,并且包括沿着开关控制装置30的纵向(图2和图4中的Z方向)自上而下依次设置的UV固化层311A、透光基层311B、以及油墨层311C。UV固化层311A设置在触摸板31的最上层,其用以覆盖和保护位于其下方的透光基层311B和油墨层311C。透光基层311B可以由允许来自显示器33的光线经过的透光材料或半透光材料制成,这些材料包括但不限于:聚对苯二甲酸(PET)、聚碳酸酯(PC)、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)以及ABS树脂等。透光基层311B的厚度通常在0.05~0.5mm的范围内。油墨层311C包括允许来自显示器33的光线经过的透光部和不允许来自显示器33的光线经过的挡光部。其中,透光部可以例如由白色油墨形成,其构成了触控面板的显示部31A,而挡光部可以例如由黑色油墨形成,并且围绕透光部的周缘设置,由此其能够保证触摸板31具有黑色的外观。在其他实施例中,挡光部也可以由除了黑色油墨之外的不透光油墨形成。As shown in FIG. 5 , the touch panel 31 includes a cover 311 and a support 312 stacked on top of each other, wherein the cover 311 covers the top of the support 312 and includes a longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30 ( FIGS. 2 and 31 ). Z direction in FIG. 4 ) UV curable layer 311A, light-transmitting base layer 311B, and ink layer 311C arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The UV curable layer 311A is disposed on the uppermost layer of the touch panel 31 , and is used to cover and protect the light-transmitting base layer 311B and the ink layer 311C below it. The light-transmitting base layer 311B can be made of a light-transmitting or semi-transmitting material that allows light from the display 33 to pass through, and these materials include but are not limited to: polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl Methyl acrylate (PMMA) and ABS resin, etc. The thickness of the transparent base layer 311B is usually in the range of 0.05-0.5 mm. The ink layer 311C includes a light-transmitting portion that allows light from the display 33 to pass through and a light-blocking portion that does not allow light from the display 33 to pass through. Wherein, the light-transmitting part can be formed, for example, of white ink, which constitutes the display part 31A of the touch panel, and the light-shielding part, for example, can be formed of black ink, and arranged around the periphery of the light-transmitting part, thereby ensuring the touch panel 31 has a black appearance. In other embodiments, the light blocking portion may also be formed of opaque ink other than black ink.
支撑件312包括自其中心朝向边缘依次设置的触摸部312A、减薄部312B和主体部312C,即减薄部312B设置在触摸部312A与主体部312C之间。触摸部312A大体上位于支撑件312的中心位置处,并且沿着开关控制装置30的纵向与触控面板的显示部31A(即油墨层311C的透光部)彼此位置对应。即,触摸部312A设置在油墨层311C的透光部的下方,优 选地,设置在油墨层311C的透光部的正下方。而触控传感器32经由透明的粘合剂固定连接到触摸部312A。示例性地,触摸部312A的面积大于触控面板的显示部31A的面积,即大于油墨层311C的透光部的面积。The support member 312 includes a touch portion 312A, a thinned portion 312B and a main body 312C arranged sequentially from the center toward the edge, that is, the thinned portion 312B is disposed between the touch portion 312A and the main body 312C. The touch portion 312A is generally located at the center of the support member 312 and corresponds to the display portion 31A of the touch panel (ie, the light-transmitting portion of the ink layer 311C) along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30 . That is, the touch portion 312A is disposed below the light-transmitting portion of the ink layer 311C, preferably directly below the light-transmitting portion of the ink layer 311C. The touch sensor 32 is fixedly connected to the touch portion 312A via a transparent adhesive. Exemplarily, the area of the touch portion 312A is larger than the area of the display portion 31A of the touch panel, that is, larger than the area of the light-transmitting portion of the ink layer 311C.
减薄部312B环绕触摸部312A的周缘设置,并且减薄部312B的厚度小于触摸部312A的厚度,使得触摸部312A能够绕减薄部312B而沿着开关控制装置30的纵向上下震荡。示例性地,减薄部312B例如具有0.5mm的厚度,而触摸部312A具有例如0.8mm的厚度。减薄部312B由触摸部312A的下表面朝支撑件312的上表面凹陷而成,因此减薄部312B在其下表面上形成有凹槽313,该凹槽313呈环形(如图6所示),并且可以具有1.2mm的宽度。利用减薄部312B来实现触控面板沿着开关控制装置30纵向的上下震荡,可以无需额外地为触控面板设置悬挂部件,从而可以简化整体结构,使其组装变得更加容易。The thinned part 312B is disposed around the periphery of the touch part 312A, and the thickness of the thinned part 312B is smaller than that of the touch part 312A, so that the touch part 312A can vibrate up and down along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30 around the thinned part 312B. Exemplarily, the thinned portion 312B has a thickness of, for example, 0.5 mm, while the touch portion 312A has a thickness of, for example, 0.8 mm. The thinned portion 312B is formed by the lower surface of the touch portion 312A being depressed toward the upper surface of the support member 312, so the thinned portion 312B is formed with a groove 313 on its lower surface, and the groove 313 is annular (as shown in FIG. 6 ), and may have a width of 1.2 mm. Utilizing the thinned portion 312B to realize the up and down oscillation of the touch panel along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30 can eliminate the need for additional suspension components for the touch panel, thereby simplifying the overall structure and making its assembly easier.
此外,由于触摸部312A绕减薄部312B上下震荡,因此支撑件312容易在减薄部312B处发生断裂,为了增加减薄部312B的耐久性,凹槽313中设有增强件314,增强件314可以在凹槽313中设置在远离触摸部312A的一侧。增强件314具有例如呈楔形的横截面。但是,在其他实施例中,增强件314可以具有例如梯形或扇形的横截面。如图6所示,增强件314的数目可以是多个,该多个增强件314可以间隔地设置在环形凹槽313中。In addition, since the touch portion 312A oscillates up and down around the thinned portion 312B, the supporting member 312 is likely to break at the thinned portion 312B. In order to increase the durability of the thinned portion 312B, a reinforcement 314 is provided in the groove 313. The reinforcement 314 may be disposed on a side away from the touch portion 312A in the groove 313 . The reinforcement 314 has, for example, a wedge-shaped cross-section. However, in other embodiments, the reinforcement 314 may have a cross-section such as a trapezoidal or scalloped shape. As shown in FIG. 6 , the number of reinforcing pieces 314 may be multiple, and the multiple reinforcing pieces 314 may be disposed in the annular groove 313 at intervals.
主体部312C环绕在减薄部312B的外侧,即设置在减薄部312B的相对于触摸部312A的一侧,并且主体部312C的厚度大于触摸部312A的厚度,例如,主体部312C具有例如2.5mm的厚度,这可以在触摸部312A绕减薄部312B上下震荡的过程中确保支撑件312具有足够的刚性。主体部312C可以与位于开关控制装置30周围的其他支撑件固定联结或者形成为一体。图5示意性地示出了主体部312C的仅一部分,而实际上,主体部312C也可以如图7所示的剖视图所示,这可以根据开关控制装置的设置位置来决定。The main body portion 312C surrounds the outer side of the thinned portion 312B, that is, it is disposed on the side of the thinned portion 312B opposite to the touch portion 312A, and the thickness of the main body portion 312C is greater than that of the touch portion 312A. For example, the main body portion 312C has a thickness of 2.5 The thickness is mm, which can ensure sufficient rigidity of the supporting member 312 when the touch part 312A vibrates up and down around the thinned part 312B. The main body part 312C can be fixedly connected with or formed into one body with other support members located around the switch control device 30 . FIG. 5 schematically shows only a part of the main body 312C, but in fact, the main body 312C can also be shown in the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 7 , which can be determined according to the installation position of the switch control device.
根据本发明的实施例,触摸板31通常与方向盘轮缘10上的装饰件一体化形成,由此可以不但可以有利于开关控制装置30的组装,而且还可以实现开关控制装置30与方向盘轮缘10的无缝连接,以防止灰尘或湿气 进入开关控制装置30而影响其使用寿命。According to the embodiment of the present invention, the touchpad 31 is usually integrally formed with the decorative part on the steering wheel rim 10, thereby not only facilitating the assembly of the switch control device 30, but also realizing the integration of the switch control device 30 and the steering wheel rim. 10 to prevent dust or moisture from entering the switch control device 30 and affecting its service life.
显示器33设置在触控传感器32下方,并且固定连接到触控传感器32。示例性地,显示器33经由透明的粘合剂(例如光学透明粘胶剂,OCA)固定连接到触控传感器32的下表面。然而,在其他实施例中,显示器33可以经由螺钉等紧固件固定连接到触控传感器32上。此外,显示器33可以通过电连接器(图8中为附图标记44)电连接到印刷电路板36,从而可以实现两者之间的电气通信。The display 33 is disposed under the touch sensor 32 and fixedly connected to the touch sensor 32 . Exemplarily, the display 33 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the touch sensor 32 via a transparent adhesive (such as optically clear adhesive, OCA). However, in other embodiments, the display 33 can be fixedly connected to the touch sensor 32 via fasteners such as screws. In addition, the display 33 can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 36 through an electrical connector (reference numeral 44 in FIG. 8 ), so that electrical communication between the two can be achieved.
显示器33可以允许通过不同的触控操作而从同个开关获得多种用途。作为非限制性示例,显示器33可编程为根据车辆模式显示不同的按钮功能。例如,显示器33可以显示一级菜单和/或二级菜单。一级菜单可以包括车辆状态类别,例如能耗状态、驾驶状态、车辆外的环境信息、电池状态、里程状态、轮胎信息、多媒体、历史故障、行车功率、导航信息等,二级菜单可以包括车辆状态信息,例如当前车速、当前电池参数、巡航速度、当前行驶方向等。示例性地,二级菜单可以为各一级菜单对应的详细信息。例如,进入驾驶状态菜单后,显示驾驶状态菜单对应的当前车速菜单,二级菜单显示对应一级菜单的详细信息。可以理解的是,一级菜单和二级菜单的具体内容可以根据客户需求设置。The display 33 may allow multiple uses from the same switch through different touch operations. As a non-limiting example, the display 33 can be programmed to display different button functions depending on the vehicle mode. For example, the display 33 can display a primary menu and/or a secondary menu. The first-level menu can include vehicle status categories, such as energy consumption status, driving status, environmental information outside the vehicle, battery status, mileage status, tire information, multimedia, historical faults, driving power, navigation information, etc. The second-level menu can include vehicle Status information, such as current vehicle speed, current battery parameters, cruising speed, current driving direction, etc. Exemplarily, the secondary menu may be detailed information corresponding to each primary menu. For example, after entering the driving state menu, the current vehicle speed menu corresponding to the driving state menu is displayed, and the secondary menu displays detailed information corresponding to the primary menu. It can be understood that the specific content of the first-level menu and the second-level menu can be set according to customer requirements.
如图2所示。力传感器34固定地连接到显示器33上,并且由印刷电路板36支撑。由此,力传感器34可以接收用户施加在触摸板31上的按压操作的压力,并且根据该压力生成压力操作信号。如图5所示,显示器33的下表面包括从下表面轴向延伸的凸起41。凸起41可以将力传感器34支撑在印刷电路板36上。凸起41将显示器33接收到的按压操作的压力集中到力传感器34上。示例性地,凸起41与显示器33的下表面一体地形成。然而,在其它实施方式中,凸起41可单独形成并固定联接到显示器33的下表面。力传感器34包括微电子-机械传感器(MEMS),其提供与力传感器34接收的力的大小相对应的输出信号。例如,MEMS力传感器34能够以小至2微米的位移检测到力。此外,力传感器34可以电连接到印刷电路板36,由此将生成的压力操作信号输出给印刷电路板36。as shown in picture 2. Force sensor 34 is fixedly connected to display 33 and is supported by printed circuit board 36 . Thus, the force sensor 34 can receive the pressure of the pressing operation applied by the user on the touch panel 31 and generate a pressure operation signal according to the pressure. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower surface of the display 33 includes a protrusion 41 extending axially from the lower surface. The protrusions 41 may support the force sensor 34 on the printed circuit board 36 . The protrusion 41 concentrates the pressure of the pressing operation received by the display 33 onto the force sensor 34 . Exemplarily, the protrusion 41 is integrally formed with the lower surface of the display 33 . However, in other embodiments, the protrusion 41 may be formed separately and fixedly coupled to the lower surface of the display 33 . The force sensor 34 includes a micro-electro-mechanical sensor (MEMS) that provides an output signal corresponding to the magnitude of the force received by the force sensor 34 . For example, MEMS force sensor 34 is capable of detecting force with displacements as small as 2 microns. In addition, the force sensor 34 may be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 36 , thereby outputting the generated pressure manipulation signal to the printed circuit board 36 .
触觉激励器35固定地连接到显示器33上。具体而言,显示器33的下 表面包括从下表面轴向延伸的安装支架42,该安装支架42可以与触觉激励器35的形状相适配,以用于容纳并固定触觉激励器35。优选地,安装支架42可以围绕触觉激励器35的四周设置,从而也可以起到保护触觉激励器35的效果。示例性地,安装支架42与显示器33的下表面一体地形成。然而,在其它实施方式中,安装支架42可单独形成并固定联接到显示器33的下表面。但是,本发明并不限于此,例如可以使用粘合剂将触觉激励器35联接到显示器33的下表面。The tactile actuator 35 is fixedly connected to the display 33 . Specifically, the lower surface of the display 33 includes a mounting bracket 42 axially extending from the lower surface, and the mounting bracket 42 can be adapted to the shape of the tactile actuator 35 for accommodating and fixing the tactile actuator 35 . Preferably, the mounting bracket 42 can be arranged around the tactile actuator 35 , so as to protect the tactile actuator 35 as well. Illustratively, the mounting bracket 42 is integrally formed with the lower surface of the display 33 . However, in other embodiments, mounting bracket 42 may be separately formed and fixedly coupled to the lower surface of display 33 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, an adhesive may be used to couple the haptic actuator 35 to the lower surface of the display 33 .
此外,触觉激励器35还电连接到印刷电路板36(未示出),并且根据力传感器34输出的压力操作信号向用户提供触觉反馈。例如,触觉激励器35可以是扬声器(例如无芯音圈组件,coneless voice coil assembly),并且触觉输出是通过沿着传播轴线传播多个力波来改变扬声器输出表面附近的空气力的人耳能察觉或不能察觉的声波。传播轴线垂直于触觉激励器35的输出表面,并且在所示的实施方式中,传播轴线平行于触觉激励器35的纵向,其垂直地延伸到并穿过触摸板31的表面。例如,在某些实施方式中,传播轴线可以与触觉激励器35的纵向同轴。如图1所示,触觉激励器35的输出表面直接联接到显示器33的下表面。因此,从输出表面传播的力波的至少一部分被引导朝向显示器33的下表面,由此可以引起显示器33在Z方向上的振动或振荡,继而可以引起触控传感器32以及触摸板31在Z方向上的振动或振荡。在该实施例中,显示器33的下表面用作触觉激励器35的反应表面,而显示器33的振动可以传递到触控传感器32和触摸板31。因此,触觉激励器35振动地联接到触摸板31的下表面,因此源自触觉激励器35的力波在触摸板31上诱导振动响应,以向用户提供触觉反馈。In addition, the tactile actuator 35 is also electrically connected to the printed circuit board 36 (not shown), and provides tactile feedback to the user according to the pressure operation signal output by the force sensor 34 . For example, the haptic actuator 35 may be a speaker (e.g., a coreless voice coil assembly), and the haptic output is the human ear's ability to change the air force near the output surface of the speaker by propagating multiple force waves along the propagation axis. Perceived or imperceptible sound waves. The propagation axis is perpendicular to the output surface of the tactile actuator 35 , and in the embodiment shown, the propagation axis is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tactile actuator 35 , which extends perpendicularly to and through the surface of the touchpad 31 . For example, in some embodiments, the axis of propagation may be coaxial with the longitudinal direction of haptic actuator 35 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the output surface of haptic actuator 35 is directly coupled to the lower surface of display 33 . Thus, at least a portion of the force wave propagating from the output surface is directed towards the lower surface of the display 33, which can cause vibration or oscillation of the display 33 in the Z direction, which in turn can cause the touch sensor 32 and the touchpad 31 to vibrate in the Z direction. Vibration or oscillation on the In this embodiment, the lower surface of the display 33 serves as a reactive surface for the tactile actuator 35 , and the vibration of the display 33 can be transmitted to the touch sensor 32 and the touchpad 31 . Accordingly, haptic actuator 35 is vibratoryly coupled to the lower surface of touchpad 31 , whereby force waves emanating from haptic actuator 35 induce a vibratory response on touchpad 31 to provide tactile feedback to the user.
印刷电路板36完全地容纳在腔室P内。具体而言,印刷电路板36支撑在背罩37上,并且印刷电路板36的周边分别抵靠到第一侧壁38和第二侧壁39,由此可以防止印刷电路板36在腔室P内的相对移动。印刷电路板36例如可以采用摩擦配合、卡扣、夹子、铆钉、粘合剂或其他合适的紧固机构固定连接到背罩37、第一侧壁38和第二侧壁39中的至少一者上。The printed circuit board 36 is completely housed within the cavity P. As shown in FIG. Specifically, the printed circuit board 36 is supported on the back cover 37, and the peripheries of the printed circuit board 36 are respectively abutted against the first side wall 38 and the second side wall 39, thereby preventing the printed circuit board 36 from being placed in the chamber P. relative movement within. The printed circuit board 36 may be fixedly attached to at least one of the back cover 37, the first side wall 38, and the second side wall 39, for example, using a friction fit, snaps, clips, rivets, adhesive, or other suitable fastening mechanism. superior.
此外,印刷电路板36弹性地连接到显示器33,使得触控面板以及显 示器33能够相对于印刷电路板36沿开关控制装置30的纵向(即图1中的Z方向)振动或震荡。也就是说当用户对触摸面板施加按压操作或者当触觉激励器35被激活时,触摸面板和显示器33一起沿开关控制装置30的纵向向上或向下移位,而印刷电路板36则因连接到背罩37而保持不动。In addition, the printed circuit board 36 is elastically connected to the display 33, so that the touch panel and the display 33 can vibrate or vibrate relative to the printed circuit board 36 along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30 (ie, the Z direction in FIG. 1 ). That is to say, when the user applies a pressing operation to the touch panel or when the tactile actuator 35 is activated, the touch panel and the display 33 are displaced upward or downward along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device 30, while the printed circuit board 36 is connected to the Back cover 37 and remain motionless.
示例性地,如图2和图8所示,印刷电路板36与显示器33之间设有弹性连接件43。该弹性连接件43包括从显示器33的下表面轴向延伸的支撑柱431,和设置在印刷电路板36上与支撑柱431位置对应可供支撑柱431插入的支撑垫432。支撑柱431包括靠近显示器33的下表面设置的连接段和远离显示器33的下表面设置且连接于连接段的插入段,插入段的直径小于连接段的直径。支撑垫432可以由弹性材料制成,并且具有沿着其纵向贯穿自身的通孔,支撑柱431的插入段可以至少部分地插入到该通孔中,而直径较大的连接段可以作为插入段的限位件,以防止插入段在显示器33相对于印刷电路板36沿开关控制装置30的纵向振动或震荡过程中触碰到印刷电路板36,从而可以起到保护印刷电路板36的作用。优选地,插入部具有渐细的尖端,这样有利于容易地将支撑柱431插入到通孔中。如图2所示,支撑垫432包括圆筒部和连接于圆筒部的法兰部,法兰部连接到印刷电路板36上,而通孔贯穿圆筒部和法兰部两者。图8示出了四个弹性连接件43,其大体上分别位于显示器33的下表面的四个角落并且距显示器33的边缘间隔一段距离。但是,在其他实施例中,弹性连接件43的数目并不限于四个,例如可以少于四个,也可以多于四个,这可以根据显示器33的尺寸大小等因素来决定。Exemplarily, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 8 , an elastic connecting member 43 is provided between the printed circuit board 36 and the display 33 . The elastic connecting member 43 includes a support post 431 axially extending from the lower surface of the display 33 , and a support pad 432 disposed on the printed circuit board 36 corresponding to the position of the support post 431 for insertion of the support post 431 . The support column 431 includes a connecting section disposed close to the lower surface of the display 33 and an inserting section disposed away from the lower surface of the display 33 and connected to the connecting section. The diameter of the inserting section is smaller than that of the connecting section. The support pad 432 can be made of elastic material, and has a through hole passing through itself along its longitudinal direction, the insertion section of the support column 431 can be at least partially inserted into the through hole, and the connecting section with a larger diameter can be used as the insertion section The stopper is used to prevent the insertion section from touching the printed circuit board 36 during the longitudinal vibration or vibration of the display 33 relative to the printed circuit board 36 along the switch control device 30 , thereby protecting the printed circuit board 36 . Preferably, the insertion portion has a tapered tip, which facilitates easy insertion of the support post 431 into the through hole. As shown in FIG. 2 , the support pad 432 includes a cylindrical portion and a flange portion connected to the cylindrical portion, the flange portion is connected to the printed circuit board 36 , and the through hole penetrates both the cylindrical portion and the flange portion. FIG. 8 shows four elastic connectors 43 , which are generally respectively located at the four corners of the lower surface of the display 33 and spaced a certain distance from the edge of the display 33 . However, in other embodiments, the number of elastic connecting members 43 is not limited to four, for example, it may be less than four or more than four, which may be determined according to factors such as the size of the display 33 .
因此,根据本发明的实施例,触摸板31通常与方向盘100上的装饰件一体化形成,由此可以实现开关控制装置30与方向盘轮缘10的无缝连接,以防止灰尘或湿气进入开关控制装置30而影响其使用寿命。而且,开关控制装置30仅利用触摸板31的减薄部312B就可以实现触控面板沿着开关控制装置纵向的上下震荡,这样无需额外地为触控面板设置悬挂部件,从而可以减少零部件数量,简化整体结构。此外,将力传感器34和触觉激励器35直接固定到显示器33上,不但可以减少用于安装力传感器34和触觉激励器35的额外支架,同时还可以减少开关控制装置100的封 装高度,从而使其占用较小的方向盘内部空间。Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the touchpad 31 is usually integrally formed with the decorative part on the steering wheel 100, so that the seamless connection between the switch control device 30 and the steering wheel rim 10 can be realized to prevent dust or moisture from entering the switch The control device 30 affects its service life. Moreover, the switch control device 30 can realize the vertical oscillation of the touch panel along the longitudinal direction of the switch control device only by using the thinned portion 312B of the touch panel 31, so that no additional suspension components are required for the touch panel, thereby reducing the number of components , to simplify the overall structure. In addition, directly fixing the force sensor 34 and the tactile actuator 35 to the display 33 can not only reduce the extra brackets for installing the force sensor 34 and the tactile actuator 35, but also reduce the package height of the switch control device 100, so that It takes up less space inside the steering wheel.
