Abstract

The invention relates to the field of switches, and particularly provides a switch for a vehicle and a vehicle. The invention aims to solve the problem of an uneven gap between a switch and an interior trim panel of an existing vehicle. To this end, the vehicle according to the invention comprises a surface housing, the surface housing is provided with a groove, the switch is disposed in the groove, the switch comprises a pressing rod assembly, the pressing rod assembly comprises a rocking bar and a connecting piece, the rocking bar is rotatably connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the groove. When the pressing rod assembly is installed, because no member for positioning the pressing rod assembly is available, the pressing rod assembly can be installed at any position in a transverse direction of the groove. Therefore, when the groove deviates due to the existence of tolerance, the position tolerance of the groove is absorbed by a position change of the pressing rod assembly, which is more conducive to adjusting a gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly and can ensure uniformity of the gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A switch for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a surface housing, the surface housing is provided with a groove, the switch is disposed in the groove, the switch comprises a pressing rod assembly, the pressing rod assembly comprises a rocking bar and a connecting piece, the rocking bar is rotatably connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the groove, and wherein the switch further comprises a crushable rib, the crushable rib is disposed between the connecting piece and the groove, the crushable rib has a consistent thickness, and a strength of an upper side of the crushable rib is less than a strength of a lower side of the crushable rib.

2. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting piece is a light band, and the light band is flush with an outer surface of the groove.

3. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing rod assembly further comprises a key, and the key covers the rocking bar.

4. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting piece is disposed on an inner circumferential wall of the groove, the crushable rib is annular, and the crushable rib is disposed at a circumferential gap between the connecting piece and the groove.

5. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the crushable rib has a strip shape, and at least two crushable ribs are provided.

6. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the rocking bar is rotatably connected to the connecting piece along a first rotating shaft in a transverse direction of the connecting piece, the pressing rod assembly further comprises an intermediate part, the intermediate part is provided with the first rotating shaft, a plurality of rocking bars are provided, and two adjacent rocking bars are rotatably connected through the first rotating shaft.

7. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the first rotating shaft and the rocking bar are disposed side by side, or the first rotating shaft is disposed on a bottom side of the rocking bar.

8. The switch for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein one or two rocking bars are provided.

9. A vehicle, comprising a switch for a vehicle according to claim 1 .
