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 an induction assembly and 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 mating portion and the second mating portion 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. The sensing assembly is used for detecting the pressed position of the vehicle switch. Optionally, the sensing component may comprise a capacitive sensing component and/or a photo-electric sensing component.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the pressing force automatic adjustment method includes:

s101: and detecting the pressing position information of the vehicle switch through the sensing assembly.

The pressing position information is information of a specific pressing position of the vehicle switch by the user. The press location information may identify a corresponding press location. Alternatively, the pressing position information may be real-time pressing position information or permanent pressing position information. The real-time pressing position information is information of a specific position of the vehicle switch pressed by the user detected at the current time. And the constant pressing position information is the habitual pressing position information of the user obtained from the historical pressing data of the user detected by the sensing assembly. The real-time pressing position information can be detected in real time through the sensing assembly, and the sensing assembly can detect the pressing position information of the vehicle switch as long as a user presses the vehicle switch. The sensing component is required to detect and determine the constant pressing position information for a plurality of times, and the constant pressing position information of the user is detected and obtained through a plurality of times of pressing of the same vehicle switch by the user.

S102: and controlling second matching parts in N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies in the vehicle switch to be matched with or separated from the first matching parts according to the pressing position information so as to enable the second matching parts to be separated from or contacted with the pressing transmission parts.

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. Where N is a positive integer, it is 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. Therefore, by controlling the matching mode of the second matching part and the first matching part in the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies, the adjustment of different pressing forces of the vehicle switch can be realized.

After the pressing position information is determined, the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion of the N groups of pressing force adjusting members in the vehicle switch are controlled to be engaged or disengaged by the pressing position information. Specifically, after the pressing position information is determined, N groups of pressing-force adjusting components may be selected from among the pressing-force adjusting components corresponding to the pressing position information, or N groups of pressing-force adjusting components may be selected from among the pressing-force adjusting components adjacent to the pressing position information. Furthermore, the second matching part and the first matching part in the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies are controlled to be separated, so that the second matching part is contacted with the pressing transmission part, and better key touch feeling of a user is kept.

Furthermore, after the pressing position information is determined, N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies can be determined by combining preset preferable pressing force, and the second matching part and the first matching part in the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies are controlled to be matched or separated, so that the pressing force of the vehicle switch is adjusted to be as close to the preferable pressing force as possible, the pressing habit of a user is met, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In this embodiment, M groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies are included in the vehicle switch, and by controlling the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion of N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies in the vehicle switch to engage or disengage so that the second engaging portion and the pressing transmitting portion disengage or contact, 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 the vehicle. And the sensing assembly detects the pressing position information of the vehicle switch, and the pressing force of the vehicle switch is adjusted in a matching manner according to the pressing position information, so that the key pressing habit of a user is better met, and better interaction experience of the user is guaranteed. When the user needs to press the vehicle switch, the user can be ensured to feel good key touch when pressing the habitual pressing position of the user, and the pressing force of the vehicle switch can be close to the habitual or adaptive pressing force when the user presses the pressing position by accurately controlling the pressing force of the vehicle switch. Furthermore, the vehicle switch can be adjusted through real-time detection of the specific position (pressing position information) where the user presses the vehicle switch, and further through real-time response, so that the user can feel good case touch and pressing force approaching to habits or adaptation for use even when the user presses an unaccustomed area of the vehicle switch. By the automatic pressing force adjusting method, intelligent adjustment of the pressing force of the vehicle switch is embodied.

In one embodiment, the controlling of the second engagement portion and the first engagement portion of the N groups of pressing force adjustment assemblies in the vehicle switch to be engaged or disengaged to disengage or contact the second engagement portion and the pressing force transmission portion according to the pressing position information includes:

according to the pressing position information, acquiring target pressing force adjusting assembly position information corresponding to the pressing position information; determining N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies according to the position information of the target pressing force adjusting assembly; and controlling the second matching parts and the first matching parts in the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies to be matched or separated so as to enable the second matching parts and the pressing transmission parts to be separated or contacted.

Wherein the target pressing-force adjusting member position information corresponding to the pressing position information may be position information of the pressing-force adjusting member near a position indicated by the pressing position information. Wherein the vicinity of the position indicated by the pressing position information may be determined according to the size of the vehicle switch and/or the number of pressing-force adjusting components. For example, if the vehicle switch is large, the vicinity of the position indicated by the pressed position information may be set to a large range, and the range may take a circular area with the position indicated by the pressed position information as the center. If the number of the pressure adjustment members is large, the vicinity of the position indicated by the pressing position information may be set to a small range. Further, the range is determined by integrating the size of the vehicle switch and the number of the pressing-force adjusting assemblies, and the range may be correspondingly determined by integrating the ratio of the size of the vehicle switch and the pressing-force adjusting assemblies, the larger the ratio, the larger the corresponding range.

Therefore, the target pressing-force adjusting unit position information corresponding to the pressing position information is acquired first based on the pressing position information. The target pressing-force adjusting member position information is position information of the pressing-force adjusting member in the vicinity of the position indicated by the pressing position information. Furthermore, N groups of pressing-force adjusting assemblies are determined according to the position information of the target pressing-force adjusting assemblies. That is, N groups of pressing-force adjusting assemblies are selected from the pressing-force adjusting assemblies indicated by the target pressing-force adjusting-assembly position information. Alternatively, the N groups of pressing-force adjusting members may be pressing-force adjusting members closer to the position indicated by the pressing position information, or pressing-force adjusting members closest to the position indicated by the pressing position information. Specifically, the number of N is determined. Alternatively, N may be 1, that is, one pressing-force adjusting component closest to the position indicated by the pressing-position information is determined. Further, N may be greater than or equal to 2, i.e., from the determination of at least two pressing-force adjusting components that are closest to the position indicated by the pressing-force position information. That is, the number of N may be predetermined, and optionally, the number of N may be adjusted in real time according to the information of the pressing position. For example, if the position indicated by the pressing position information corresponds to exactly one pressing-force adjustment component that is in close proximity, N may be determined to be 1. If the position indicated by the pressing-force position information is located just in the middle of the two pressing-force adjusting assemblies, N may be determined to be 2.

And finally, controlling the second matching part and the first matching part in the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies to be matched or separated so as to enable the second matching part and the pressing transmission part to be separated or contacted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the pressing force of the vehicle switch.

In this embodiment, the position information of the corresponding target pressing-force adjusting assembly is determined by the pressing position information, so that the pressing-force adjusting assembly to be controlled can be quickly screened and positioned, and the subsequent calculation amount is reduced. Further, by determining the target pressing-force adjusting member position information corresponding to the pressing position information, it can be ensured that the adjusted pressing-force adjusting member is closer to the position pressed by the user, and a good tactile sensation when the user presses is ensured. And then determining N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies from the position information of the target pressing force adjusting assemblies, wherein the number of N can be adjusted in a self-adaptive manner, can be preset and obtained, and can also be adjusted according to different pressing positions, so that the intellectualization and the precision of the pressing force adjustment of the vehicle switch are better ensured, and the pressing experience of a user is greatly improved.

S202: and determining the pressing position information of the vehicle switch according to the capacitance change value of each position on the vehicle switch.

In this embodiment, the system of the vehicle may implement the detection of the pressed position information of the vehicle switch through the capacitive sensing component. The capacitance sensing assemblies are respectively provided with capacitance sensors aiming at different positions divided on the vehicle switch, when a certain position of the vehicle switch is pressed, the capacitance sensors can detect capacitance values of all positions on the switch and feed back capacitance value signals to the system, so that the system can judge which position on the vehicle switch is pressed according to capacitance change values of all positions in the vehicle switch and determine the pressed position as pressing position information of the vehicle switch. It can be understood that the division of the positions of the vehicle switches can be set according to the actual application requirements, wherein the finer the division of the positions is, the higher the sensing precision is.

In the embodiment, the capacitance change value of each position on the vehicle switch is detected through the arranged capacitance sensing component. And then the pressing position information of the vehicle switch is determined according to the capacitance change value of each position on the vehicle switch, so that the precision and the efficiency of detecting the pressing position information can be ensured.

In one embodiment, the sensing assembly comprises a photo-electric sensing assembly.

The pressing force of the vehicle switch is ensured to be closer to the optimal pressing force, and the pressing force adjusting assemblies in the M groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies, which are different from the N groups of pressing force adjusting assemblies, are not near the pressing position information, so that the pressing experience of a user is not influenced.

Wherein the division of the specific area may be divided according to the size of the vehicle switch or the number of pressing force adjusting assemblies in the vehicle switch. Illustratively, the number of areas into which the vehicle switches are divided and the number of pressing-force adjusting assemblies are equal, and each pressing-force adjusting assembly corresponds to one area. When each area is detected to be pressed, the number of times that the area is pressed is updated. The preset condition may be the number of times the button is pressed or the proportion of the button that is pressed within a preset period. For example, an area where the proportion of being pressed exceeds 80% in a preset period is determined as the constant pressing position information.

In this embodiment, in a preset period, the number of times that each region in the vehicle switch is pressed is detected by the sensing component, and the region in which the number of times that the region is pressed exceeds a preset condition is determined as the permanent pressing position information, so that the habitual pressing position of the user can be accurately determined, and the pressing force adjustment of the vehicle switch can be performed better in the following process.

In one embodiment, the pressing force configuration data is determined by:

acquiring personnel identity information of a target person; and acquiring preset pressing force configuration data according to the personnel identity information.

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 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 the driving seat, the camera mounted 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.

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 for target personnel through interaction with the vehicle, and can also be obtained through statistics according to the use habits of users. It can be understood that if the pressing force configuration data is null, it indicates that the target person has not configured or recorded the data.

In one embodiment, the preset pressing force configuration data is determined by:

determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information of the target person; and acquiring corresponding pressing force configuration data according to the gender of the target person.

In the 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 preset pressing force configuration data according to the gender of the target person to determine the preferred pressing force of each vehicle switch in the vehicle. The preset pressing force configuration data sets different preferred pressing forces corresponding to persons of different genders in advance, for example, a male may correspond to a preferred pressing force of a default high-force range, a female may correspond to a preferred pressing force of a default low-force range, a preferred pressing force of a default high-force range is greater than a preferred pressing force of a default low-force range, and a specific gear force value may be set according to actual conditions.

In the embodiment, the optimal pressing force is determined according to the sex of the target person, the intelligent adjustment of the pressing force of the vehicle switch can be realized by combining the basic characteristics of male persons and female persons, excessive and complicated setting is not needed, and the self-adaptive adjustment of the vehicle switch is embodied.

In one embodiment, the preset pressing force configuration data is determined by:

acquiring personnel identity information of a target person; calling historical data of the target personnel according to the personnel identity information; and if the historical data is empty, triggering and executing the step of determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information of the target person.

The historical data is the previous operation data of the target person on the vehicle, and comprises the pressing operation of a vehicle switch. It is understood that if the history data is empty, it indicates that the target person has not configured or recorded the data. In this embodiment, if the historical data is empty, the step of determining the gender of the target person according to the person identity information is triggered, and if the target person does not have the pressing force configuration data, the gender of the target person is determined.

In one embodiment, the preset pressing force configuration data is determined by:

acquiring personnel identity information of a target person; if the target person is an unrecorded person, sending a prompt message to prompt the target person to select the optimal pressing force; generating pressing force configuration data according to the preferred pressing force selected by the target person.

After acquiring the personnel identity information of the target personnel, inquiring in a system of the vehicle to inquire whether the target personnel is a recorded personnel, wherein the recorded personnel is a personnel who operates the vehicle and performs configuration of the pressing force configuration data. And if the target person is an unrecorded person, sending out prompt information to prompt the target person to select the preferred pressing force, and generating pressing force configuration data according to the preferred pressing force selected by the target person. And recording the preferred pressing force selected by the target person to obtain pressing force configuration data of the target person, and generating a pressing force adjusting command directly according to the recorded pressing force configuration data when the target person operates next time so as to realize the adjustment of the pressing force of the vehicle switch.

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 its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

The vehicle switch provided by the embodiment of the invention can be a switch device capable of adjusting the pressing force, a system of a vehicle can control the vehicle switch to adjust the pressing force per se according to needs, the automatic adjustment of the pressing force of the switch is realized, the pressing force of the vehicle switch is combined to automatically adjust 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 for a vehicle 1000 is described below with reference to fig. 9-23. Wherein the switch device 100 can be a steering wheel vehicle switch 101, a central control vehicle switch 102, a window control vehicle switch 104, a roof vehicle switch 106, and the like.

As shown in fig. 9, 10 and 18, a switch device 100 for a vehicle 1000 includes: the vehicle switch 1, the resilient counterpart 2, the circuit board 3 and the inductive component are operated.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the operating vehicle switch 1 includes a pressing portion 11, a signal transmitting portion 12, and a pressing transmitting portion 13, the signal transmitting portion 12 and the pressing transmitting portion 13 are disposed at an interval and are respectively connected to the pressing portion 11, the pressing portion 11 is provided with a pressing surface a, and the signal transmitting portion 12 and the pressing transmitting portion 13 are both disposed on a side of the pressing portion 11 away from the pressing surface a.

The elastic mating member 2 is located on one side of the operating vehicle switch 1 far from the pressing surface a, the elastic mating member 2 is provided with an elastic driving portion 21 and a first mating portion 22, the elastic driving portion 21 is provided with a conductive member 211, the first mating portion 22 is provided with a magnetic member 221, the elastic driving portion 21 normally abuts against the signal transmission portion 12 to support the signal transmission portion 12, and the first mating portion 22 normally abuts against the pressing transmission portion 13 to support the pressing transmission portion 13.

As can be seen from this, when the vehicle switch 1 is operated without receiving an external force, the elastic driving portion 21 always supports the signal transmission portion 12, and thus the vehicle switch 1 is operated. The first engaging portion 22 always supports the push transmission portion 13, and thus supports the operation vehicle switch 1. Therefore, the supporting effect of the elastic fitting piece 2 on the operation vehicle switch 1 can be improved, namely, the supporting elastic force of the elastic fitting piece 2 on the operation vehicle switch 1 is increased, so that when a user uses the switch device 100, the user can press the operation vehicle switch 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 it is seen that the switch device 100 in the present embodiment is highly safe.

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

The circuit board 3 is arranged on the side of the elastic fitting piece 2 far away from the operating vehicle switch 1, the circuit board 3 is provided with a second fitting part 31 and an open control contact 32, the control contact 32 is arranged at a distance from the conductive piece 211, and the conductive piece 211 conducts the control contact 32 when the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed. Accordingly, when the vehicle switch 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.

The second engaging portion 31 and the magnetic member 221 are spaced apart from each other, the circuit board 3 controls whether the second engaging portion 31 is energized according to the received control signal, and when the second engaging portion 31 is energized, the second engaging portion 31 and the magnetic member 221 are magnetically engaged with each other to disengage the first engaging portion 22 from the press transmitting portion 13. As can be seen from this, when the control signal received by the circuit board 3 is to control the second engaging portion 31 to be powered off, as shown in fig. 5, the second engaging portion 31 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 to operate the vehicle switch 1 when it is pressed is large. However, when the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the second engaging portion 31 to be energized, as shown in fig. 10, the second engaging portion 31 has magnetism, the second engaging portion 31 and the magnetic member 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 an elastic supporting force for operating the vehicle switch 1, and the external force required for pressing the vehicle switch 1 is relatively small.

In summary, when the user uses the vehicle 1000, the user can control whether the second engaging portion 31 is powered on or not according to different pressing force requirements, and then control the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 of the switch device 100 of the present embodiment, so that the flexibility of use of the switch device 100 is improved, and the operation experience of the user is improved. For example, when the driver is a male, and the operation feeling of the switch device 100 is desired to be conspicuous, the second engaging portion 31 may be controlled not to be energized. When the driver is female, and the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 is desired to be small, the second engaging portion 31 may be controlled to be energized. For another example, when the driver is controlling the vehicle 1000 to travel, the second engaging portion 31 may be controlled not to be energized. When the system of the vehicle 1000 enters the vehicle-mounted game network and the switch device 100 is used as an operation keyboard, the second matching portion 31 can be controlled to be powered on so as to facilitate the operation of the user and reduce the operation difficulty, meanwhile, the fatigue of hands caused by high pressing force can be avoided to a certain extent, the sensitivity and comfort of the switch device 100 are improved, and the game experience of the user is improved.

It can be understood that, when pressing transmission portion 13, first cooperation portion 22 and second cooperation portion 31 are a plurality of and one-to-one setting respectively, wherein all be equipped with magnetism on every first cooperation portion 22 and inhale piece 221 when, then the user can input more different control signals to circuit board 3 according to the demand, and then can control the different break-make electricity state of a plurality of second cooperation portions 31, adjust the size of the pressing force of pressing operation vehicle switch 1 with the switch function of trigger switch device 100 from this, make switch device 100's use flexibility higher, can further promote user's operation experience, improve user's travelling comfort.

To facilitate identifying the location of each switch when pressed, sensing components, including but not limited to capacitive sensing components and/or photo-sensing components, may be provided in the switching device 100.

Taking the capacitance sensing component as an example, as shown in fig. 9-11, 13, 14 and 16, the sensing component may include a capacitance sensor 41, the capacitance sensor 41 is disposed on the pressing portion 11 and connected to the circuit board 3 to transmit a capacitance value signal to the circuit board 3, when the vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the capacitance value at the pressed position changes, and the circuit board 3 determines the pressed position of the vehicle switch 1 according to the received capacitance value signal.

As shown in fig. 9-14, in an application scenario, the pressing transmission portion 13 and the first matching portion 22 are respectively provided in a plurality of and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the second matching portion 31 is provided in a plurality of, the second matching portions 31 and the first matching portions 22 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and each first matching portion 22 is provided with a magnetic attraction piece 221. As shown in fig. 1-3, the capacitance sensor 41 includes a plurality of first capacitance sensing electrodes 411, the plurality of first capacitance sensing electrodes 411 and the plurality of pressing transmission portions 13 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, each first capacitance sensing electrode 411 is located at the corresponding pressing transmission portion 13, each first capacitance sensing electrode 411 is connected to the circuit board 3 to transmit a capacitance signal to the circuit board 3, and when the vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the circuit board 3 can control the second matching portion 31 corresponding to the first capacitance sensing electrode 411 with the largest capacitance change according to the received capacitance signal to be powered off. The capacitive sensing electrode is an electrode for touch capacitive sensing, which is printed on a light and thin substrate.

It can be known that, in the vehicle 1000 to which the switch device 100 of the present embodiment is applied, a user can input more different control signals to the circuit board 3 according to a requirement, and further, different power on/off states of the second engaging portions 31 can be controlled, so that part or all of the first engaging portions 22 can be disengaged from the corresponding press transmitting portions 13, and thus the magnitude of the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 to trigger the switch function of the switch device 100 is adjusted, and the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 to trigger the switch function of the switch device 100 by the user can be multiple, so that the use flexibility of the switch device 100 is higher, the operation experience of the user can be further improved, and the comfort of the user is improved.

It should be noted that the elastic supporting force provided by the different first engaging portions 22 to the corresponding pressing transmission portions 13 may be different, and further, when the switch device 100 is produced, the elastic supporting force provided by each first engaging portion 22 to the corresponding pressing transmission portion 13 may be set according to the practical application requirement of the switch device 100, so that different combinations may be implemented to achieve more numerical ranges of the pressing force for operating the vehicle switch 1.

Meanwhile, since the plurality of first capacitive sensing electrodes 411 are respectively located at the corresponding pressing transmitting portions 13, in a specific embodiment, the sensing component is mainly used for detecting whether the position of the operating vehicle switch 1, which is opposite to the area where the plurality of pressing transmitting portions 13 are located, is pressed, and since the position of the operating vehicle switch 1, which is pressed, is opposite to the area where the signal transmitting portion 12 is located, the pressed position can be reliably supported all the time. It can be seen that the switch device 100 of the present embodiment not only can ensure the intelligence degree of the switch device 100 and achieve the pressing adaptive function of the switch device 100 to a certain extent, but also is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the switch device 100 and reducing the occupied space of the capacitive sensor 41.

Since the switch device 100 includes the plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 in the specific embodiment, the sensing component can effectively detect the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1, specifically, the region corresponding to which one of the plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 is located, and then control the corresponding second matching part 31 to be powered off to ensure that the pressed position is reliably supported. It can be understood that, when the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 is located at an intermediate position corresponding to the area where any two adjacent pressing transmission parts 13 are located, or located at an intermediate position corresponding to the area where a plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 are located, the variation amounts of the capacitance values detected by the first capacitance sensing electrode 411 at different positions may be compared to determine which area has a large variation amount of the capacitance value, and thus determine the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1.

It can be understood that, when the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 is located at the middle position corresponding to the area where the signal transmitting part 12 and one of the pressing transmitting parts 13 are located, the capacitance value detected by the corresponding first capacitive sensing electrode 411 and the variation of the capacitance value detected by the second capacitive sensing electrode 412 can be compared to determine which area has a large variation of the capacitance value, and thus the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 can be determined. Similarly, when the pressed position of the vehicle switch 1 is located at the middle position corresponding to the area where the signal transmission unit 12 and the plurality of pressing transmission units 13 are located, that is, the center position of the vehicle switch 1, the capacitance values detected by the plurality of first capacitive sensing electrodes 411 and the capacitance value detected by the second capacitive sensing electrode 412 may be compared to determine which area has a large capacitance value, and the pressed position of the vehicle switch 1 may be determined. Therefore, the arrangement of the second capacitive sensing electrode 412 can further improve the intelligence of the switch device 100, so that the pressing force of the switch device 100 can be adjusted more reasonably and accurately.

Taking a photoelectric sensing component as an example, as shown in fig. 13, 14 and 16, the sensing component includes a first photoelectric sensor 42, the first photoelectric sensor 42 is located on a side of the elastic fitting member 2 away from the pressing portion 11, the first photoelectric sensor 42 can emit light toward the pressing portion 11 and receive reflected light, the first photoelectric sensor 42 is connected to the circuit board 3 to transmit a reflected light signal to the circuit board 3, and when the vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the circuit board 3 determines the position where the vehicle switch 1 is pressed according to the received reflected light signal. The photoelectric sensor is a sensor using a photoelectric element as a detection element, and generally comprises a light source, an optical path and the photoelectric element. It first converts the measured changes into changes in the optical signal and then further converts the optical signal into an electrical signal by means of an opto-electronic element.

It can be seen that in the embodiment, the sensing component detects the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 by using the first photoelectric sensor 42. When a certain position of the vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the first photoelectric sensor 42 detects the reflected light signals of different positions of the vehicle switch 1 and transmits the reflected light signals to the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 can judge which position of the vehicle switch 1 is pressed according to the received reflected light signals of different positions. And also controls the corresponding second engagement portion 31 to be de-energized, thereby stopping the first engagement portion 22 corresponding to the second engagement portion 31 against the push transmission portion 13, thereby providing a reliable supporting force for the pushed position of the operating vehicle switch 1. Thereby guaranteeing the flexibility of the switch device 100, guaranteeing the intelligent effect of the switch device 100 and improving the operation experience of users. The reflected light signal may be energy of the light, energy difference of the light, reflection time of the light, reflection path of the light, and the like.

As shown in fig. 13 to 17, in some embodiments, the pressing transmission portion 13 and the first matching portion 22 are respectively provided in a plurality of and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the second matching portion 31 is provided in a plurality of and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner with the first matching portions 22, each first matching portion 22 is provided with a magnetic attraction piece 221, the first photoelectric sensors 42 are provided in a plurality of and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner with the first photoelectric sensors 42, each pressing transmission portion 13 and the corresponding first matching portion 22, second matching portion 31 and first photoelectric sensor 42 are sequentially arranged along the extending direction of the pressing transmission portion 13, the first photoelectric sensor 42 is provided on the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3, the second matching portion 31, the first matching portion 22 and the pressing transmission portion 13 are respectively provided with a first light through hole d which is suitable for light to pass through and is arranged in an opposite manner.

Therefore, when the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls one of the second matching parts 31 to be energized, the second matching part 31 can only match with the magnetic attraction piece 221 on the corresponding first matching part 22 to disengage the corresponding first matching part 22 from the corresponding pressing transmission part 13, and the other first matching parts 22 are still supported on the pressing transmission part 13 to provide elastic supporting force for operating the vehicle switch 1. Therefore, in the vehicle 1000 to which the switch device 100 of the present embodiment is applied, a user can input more different control signals to the circuit board 3 according to a requirement, and further can control different power on/off states of the plurality of second engaging portions 31, so that part or all of the first engaging portions 22 can be disengaged from the corresponding press transmitting portions 13, and thus the magnitude of the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 to trigger the switch function of the switch device 100 is adjusted, and a plurality of pressing forces can be applied by the user to press the vehicle switch 1 to trigger the switch function of the switch device 100, so that the switch device 100 has higher flexibility in use, the operation experience of the user can be further improved, and the comfort of the user is improved.

It should be noted that the elastic supporting force provided by the different first engaging portions 22 to the corresponding pressing transmission portions 13 may be different, and further, when the switch device 100 is produced, the elastic supporting force provided by each first engaging portion 22 to the corresponding pressing transmission portion 13 may be set according to the practical application requirement of the switch device 100, so that different combinations may be implemented to achieve more numerical ranges of the pressing force for operating the vehicle switch 1.

Meanwhile, the plurality of first photoelectric sensors 42 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pressing transmitting portions 13, so that in the specific embodiment, the sensing component is mainly used for detecting whether the position of the vehicle switch 1, which is opposite to the area where the plurality of pressing transmitting portions 13 are located, is pressed, and the pressed position can be reliably supported all the time when the pressed position of the vehicle switch 1 is opposite to the area where the signal transmitting portion 12 is located. Therefore, the switch device 100 of the present embodiment not only can ensure the intellectualization degree of the switch device 100, and realize the press adaptive function of the switch device 100 to a certain extent, but also is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the switch device 100 and reducing the occupied space of the capacitance sensor 41.

Since the switch device 100 includes the plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 in the specific embodiment, the sensing component can effectively detect the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1, specifically, the region corresponding to which one of the plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 is located, and then control the corresponding second matching part 31 to be powered off to ensure that the pressed position is reliably supported. It is understood that, when the position where the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed is located at an intermediate position corresponding to the area where any two adjacent pressing transmission parts 13 are located, or is located at an intermediate position corresponding to the area where a plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 are located, the reflected light signals detected by the first photoelectric sensor 42 at different positions may be compared to determine the position where the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed.

It is known that, in general, a pressing surface a of the operating vehicle switch 1 has a sprayed coating and laser engravings, and the laser engravings are located at a central area of the pressing surface a to achieve an aesthetic appearance and a backlight effect, as shown in fig. 13, that is, except for the laser engravings, light can be transmitted, and other portions of the pressing surface a are covered by the coating and cannot be transmitted. Since the circuit board 3, the second matching portion 31, the first matching portion 22 and the pressing transmission portion 13 are respectively provided with the first light-passing holes d which are suitable for light to pass through and are arranged oppositely, it can be known that light emitted by each first photoelectric sensor 42 is transmitted through the corresponding first light-passing hole d, so that the emitting light path and the reflecting light path of the first photoelectric sensor 42 cannot be blocked by any obstacle, and are in a relatively closed environment, which is very helpful for the fidelity and the anti-interference performance of signals.

In summary, in the specific embodiment, the first photosensor 42 can detect the position where the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed by using the principle of photoelectric ranging. The method specifically comprises the following steps: as shown in fig. 16 and 17, the light emitted from the first photosensor 42 is irradiated to the coating portion of the pressing portion 11 along the corresponding first light-passing hole d, and is unable to pass through the coating portion, and is reflected back, and the reflected light is finally received by the first photosensor 42 along the corresponding first light-passing hole d. It can be understood that when a certain position of the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the position and the corresponding pressing transmitting part 13 move towards the inside of the switch device 100 under the action of the pressing force, and the stroke of the light during the emitting and reflecting processes changes, and the time difference or the stroke change value of the light at the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 can be obtained through conversion calculation of the electric signals, so as to judge the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1. It is understood that in order to improve the accuracy and reduce the energy loss during the light propagation, laser or electromagnetic wave can be used.

As shown in fig. 15, in some embodiments, the pressing portion 11 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting portions b suitable for light to pass through, the plurality of light-transmitting portions b correspond to the plurality of pressing transmitting portions 13 one by one, and each light-transmitting portion b is disposed opposite to the first light-passing hole d of the corresponding pressing transmitting portion 13. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 13, when the light emitted from the first photosensor 42 is applied to the pressing portion 11 along the corresponding first light-transmitting hole d and the corresponding light-transmitting portion b is not blocked, that is, the region where the vehicle switch 1 is operated is not pressed, the light passes through the corresponding light-transmitting portion b and is emitted to the outside without being reflected. When a certain region where the vehicle switch 1 is operated is pressed, as shown in fig. 14 and 15, the light-transmitting portion b is blocked by the user, and the light is reflected back after being irradiated onto the pressing portion 11. The reflected light can be received by the corresponding first photoelectric sensor 42, converted into an electrical signal, and compared with the electrical signal of the first photoelectric sensor 42, so that the light energy and energy difference between the reflected light and the emitted light can be determined, and the area where the vehicle switch 1 is operated is determined. Alternatively, the first photosensor 42 may use invisible infrared rays, and the reliability is relatively high.

Specifically, the first photoelectric sensor 42 includes a light emitting diode and a photodiode, and is formed as a back-mounted device, and as shown in fig. 13 and 14, a main body portion of the first photoelectric sensor 42 extends into the first light-passing hole d on the corresponding circuit board 3, so that the light-emitting path and the reflected light path of the first photoelectric sensor 42 can be further prevented from being blocked by any obstacle, and the signal is in a relatively closed environment, which is greatly helpful for the fidelity and the anti-interference performance of the signal.

It is understood that, when the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 is located at the intermediate position corresponding to the area where the signal transmitting portion 12 and one of the pressing transmitting portions 13 are located, the reflected light signal detected by the corresponding first photosensor 42 and the reflected light signal detected by the second photosensor 43 may be compared to determine the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1. Similarly, when the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1 is located at the middle position corresponding to the area where the signal transmission part 12 and the plurality of pressing transmission parts 13 are located, that is, the center position of the pressing operating vehicle switch 1, the reflected light signals detected by the plurality of first photoelectric sensors 42 and the reflected light signals detected by the second photoelectric sensor 43 may be compared to determine the pressed position of the operating vehicle switch 1. Therefore, the arrangement of the second photoelectric sensor 43 can further improve the intelligence degree of the switch device 100, so that the pressing force of the switch device 100 can be adjusted more reasonably and accurately, and the pressing adaptive function of the switch device 100 can be more complete.

As shown in fig. 9-23, a vehicle 1000 in one embodiment includes the switch device 100 described in any of the embodiments above.

In the vehicle 1000 of one embodiment, the switch device 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment is provided, so that the user can control whether the second fitting portion 31 is electrified or not and further control the pressing force for pressing the vehicle switch 1 according to different pressing force requirements when using the vehicle 1000.

As shown in fig. 19 to 23, the vehicle 1000 may further include an identification device 200, the identification device 200 includes a camera 201 and an identification controller 202, the identification controller 202 is connected to the circuit board 3 to send a control signal to the circuit board 3 after processing the received information collected by the camera 201, and the circuit board 3 controls whether each second fitting portion 31 is powered on or not according to the received control signal. It can be seen that the initial pressing force of the switch device 100 can be primarily controlled after the user identity is recognized by the identity recognition device 200, and the driver identity information can be recorded so that the driver can directly recognize the next time the vehicle 1000 is used. Therefore, the intelligent degree of the vehicle 1000 is further improved, and the use feeling of the user is improved.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 19, 21, and 23, the identification device 200 is located at the 12 o' clock position of the steering wheel of the vehicle 1000. It is known that the position directly facing the driver is closest to the face of the driver and is not blocked by other obstacles, the most real face image can be acquired at the first time, and the position is the optimal position for arranging the camera 201 in the whole vehicle. Certainly, the identity recognition device 200 can also be arranged at other positions, so that the accuracy, integrity and reliability of the face collection and face recognition of the identity recognition device 200 are ensured.

Optionally, the identity recognition device 200 may further include at least one of a fingerprint collector, a pupil collector, or a voice collector connected to the recognition controller 202, where the fingerprint collector, the pupil collector, or the voice collector is configured to collect corresponding information of a user, the recognition controller 202 is connected to the circuit board 3 to send a control signal to the circuit board 3 after processing the received information, and the circuit board 3 controls whether each second matching portion 31 is powered on according to the received control signal. Thereby, it is advantageous to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of the identification device 200.

A detailed description of one embodiment of the vehicle 1000 is provided below with reference to fig. 9, 13-15, and 19-23. However, it should be noted that the following description is only exemplary, and it is obvious that a person skilled in the art after reading the following technical solutions of the present invention can combine, replace, modify the technical solutions or some technical features thereof, and this also falls into the protection scope of the present invention.

In one particular embodiment, the vehicle 1000 includes a body 107, doors 108, a seat 109, pedal mechanisms 110 (clutch, brake, and throttle, respectively), a central display 111, a voice system 112, a shift mechanism 113, a steering wheel 114, a meter 115, an identification device 200, and a plurality of switch devices 100. The plurality of switching devices 100 are specifically: a steering wheel vehicle switch 101, a center control vehicle switch 102, a hollow armrest control vehicle switch 103, a window control vehicle switch 10, a front left vehicle switch 105, and a roof vehicle switch 106.

Among them, it should be noted that:

the steering wheel 114: a controller for steering the vehicle 1000, generally having a steering wheel vehicle switch 101 attached thereto, is used to operate the electrical system of the vehicle 1000 for improved convenience and safety.

Central vehicle switch 102: a control panel located in the middle of the vehicle body 107 is generally used to control audio, multimedia, air conditioning, and other systems.

Center armrest control vehicle switch 103: located at the armrest, typically next to the gear shift mechanism 113, for controlling driving modes, directional keys (mouse-type) or other functions.

Window controlled vehicle switch 104: at the armrest of the door 108 for controlling the window. The window control vehicle switch 104 described herein may also be used for other functions, such as a position memory system, etc.

Left front vehicle switch 105: is positioned at the air outlet of the left front air conditioner and is mainly used for controlling the car light, adjusting the outer rearview mirror and the like.

Ceiling vehicle switch 106: the position is near the rearview mirror in the ceiling and is mainly used for controlling a skylight, opening and closing a reading lamp and the like.

In conjunction with the description of the above-described pressing force automatic adjustment method for the vehicle switch, the specific pressing force of each switch device 100 operating the vehicle switch 1 in the vehicle 1000 in the present embodiment can be individually set by the user. Further, when the user uses the vehicle 1000 next time, the identity recognition device 200 may compare the collected face information with the history record to determine the identity of the user, so that each switch device 100 in the vehicle 1000 directly enters the pressing force value set before the user.

In a specific embodiment, the elastic supporting force F1 of the elastic driving portion 21 to the signal transmission portion 12 may be defined as 0.8N, and the elastic supporting forces F2 to 2.2N, F3 to 1.7N and F4 to 1.2N may be defined as the elastic supporting forces of the three first engaging portions 22 to the corresponding pressing transmission portions 13, respectively.

In the vehicle 1000 of the present embodiment, each switching device 100 may have three system-defined shift positions, which are a default shift position (a shift position that is default in an initial state of the vehicle 1000), an optional shift position (a shift position that can be automatically adjusted by a user according to a degree of pressing that is personally preferred), and a game shift position (an in-vehicle game environment).

When the switching device 100 is in the default gear, the default gear includes two gear positions, a high-force gear (default male) and a low-force gear (default female).

When the identity recognition device 200 recognizes that the driver is a male, the vehicle 1000 enters a large gear by default, at this time, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the second engagement portion 31, which is arranged corresponding to the first engagement portion 22 with the F4 elastic supporting force, of the three second engagement portions 31 to be electrified, then the other two first engagement portions 22 are both stopped 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 and operating the vehicle switch 1 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 200 identifies that the driver is a female, the vehicle 1000 enters the low-force range by default, at this time, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the two second engaging parts 31, which are arranged corresponding to the first engaging part 22 with the F4 elastic supporting force and the first engaging part 22 with the F3 elastic supporting force, of the three second engaging parts 31 to be electrified, and the other first engaging part 22 is stopped against the corresponding pressing transmitting part 13 to provide the elastic supporting force, at this time, the pressing force F0 of the user pressing and operating the vehicle switch 1 satisfies: f0 ═ F1+ F2 ═ 3N. The pressing force of the gear is suitable for the switch area set by the female user or the central control vehicle switch 102 area.

When the switching device 100 is in the selectable range, the selectable ranges include a highest range and an intermediate range.

When the user selects the highest gear, the pressing force for operating the vehicle switch 1 should be the maximum value, and the control signal received by the circuit board 3 at this time is to control the three second matching parts 31 to be powered off, so that each first matching part 22 can be stopped to be abutted on the corresponding pressing transmission part 13 to provide the elastic supporting force, and the pressing force F0 for pressing the vehicle switch 1 by the user at this time satisfies: f0 ═ F1+ F2+ F3+ F4 ═ 5.9N, and the pressing force of this gear is relatively suitable for switch regions where the requirement for erroneous operation prevention is relatively high, for example, the steering wheel vehicle switch 101, regions where the hands are easy to touch but not desired to be pressed, such as the center control armrest control vehicle switch 103, the window control vehicle switch 104, and the like.

When the user selects the middle gear, the setting can be re-performed according to personal preference, and then the system can selectively transmit different control signals to the circuit board 3 according to the setting of the user to control one or two of the two second matching parts 31 correspondingly arranged with the first matching part 22 with the F2 elastic supporting force and the first matching part 22 with the F4 elastic supporting force to be powered off, and at this time, the pressing force F0 of the user pressing the vehicle switch 1 satisfies F0-F1 + F3+ F4-3.7N, F0-F1 + F2+ F4-4.2N, F0-F1 + F3-2.5N-and F0-F1 + F4-2N. The pressing force of the gear has four types, and is relatively suitable for the switch area which is set by the user or the central control vehicle switch 102 area.

When the switch device 100 is in the game position, the control signal received by the circuit board 3 controls the three second engaging portions 31 to be energized, and the three first engaging portions 22 are disengaged from the corresponding pressing transmitting portions 13, and at this time, only the elastic driving portion 21 abuts against the signal transmitting portion 12 to provide the elastic supporting force for the entire operation of the vehicle switch 1. The pressing force F0 of the user pressing the operation vehicle switch 1 satisfies: f0 ═ F1 ═ 0.8N. In this position, the pressing force for operating the vehicle switch 1 is minimized, so that the sensitivity of the switch device 100 can be improved, and the comfort of the user for pressing the vehicle switch 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.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 20, in the vehicle 1000 of this embodiment, after the driver gets on the vehicle and starts the vehicle 1000, the camera 201 automatically collects the face information of the driver and feeds the face information back to the recognition controller 202, after the system recognizes the identity, the system compares the face information with the history record or the setting information, if the record exists, the system calls out the parameters used or set by the user last time by default, and sends the CAN signal through the steering wheel vehicle switch 101 (in a specific embodiment, the ECU of the steering wheel vehicle switch 101 is the controller of the switch device 100 of the entire vehicle, and is also the ECU of the switch device 100 on the steering wheel 114), the CAN bus is then distributed to the circuit board 3 of different switch devices 100 of the entire vehicle, each switch device 100 controls the power on/off of the second matching part 31 inside according to the set conditions, thereby reducing the pressing force required to press the vehicle switch 1 to the corresponding set gear, the purpose of automatically adjusting the pressing force is achieved. If the system does not have the history of the driver (the vehicle 1000 is a new vehicle or the user is a new driver), the identification device 200 uses the face information collected by the camera 201 to identify the gender of the driver and then enters the default gear. Namely, the default great power grade for men and the default small power grade for women. In the vehicle-mounted game environment, the system calls a default gear with the minimum pressing force, namely a game gear, so as to realize lighter switch operation force. It should be noted that: the ECU is a computer control module and also is called an electronic control unit.

In the embodiment, when the driver presses the operating vehicle switch 1 of a certain switch device 100 as required during driving after the pressing force gear setting of the vehicle 1000 is completed, the sensing assembly starts to operate to realize the pressing position information recognition function of the switch device 100.

Specifically, the pressing surface a of each operating vehicle switch 1 of the vehicle 1000 of the present embodiment defines four regions, the region facing the signal transmitting portion 12 is defined as the region 1, and the regions facing the three pressing transmitting portions 13 are defined as the region 2, the region 3, and the region 4, respectively. Where zone 1 is adjacent to zones 2 and 3 and zone 4 is adjacent to zones 2 and 3.

When the operating vehicle switch 1 is pressed, the capacitance sensor 41, the first photosensor 42, and the second photosensor 43 of the sensing assembly emit the reflected light signal and the capacitance value signal, respectively, to the wiring board 3, and then the wiring board 3 determines which of the four areas is pressed according to the received control signal. The specific judgment process is shown in table 1.

Table 1: determination process of pressed position of operating vehicle switch 1

In summary, in combination with the above method for automatically adjusting the pressing force of the vehicle switch, in the vehicle 1000 of this embodiment, when the user uses the vehicle 1000, the system can automatically identify the user identity information, record the operation habit of the user, determine the normally pressed position of each switch in the vehicle, control whether the second engaging portion 31 is powered on, and further control the pressing force for pressing different pressing areas of the vehicle switch 1. Therefore, the flexibility of the switch device 100 can be effectively improved, the vehicle 1000 is more intelligent, the automatic adjustment function of the switch pressing force in the vehicle is realized to a certain extent, and the operation experience of a user is improved.
