IN-VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND VEHICLE HAVING IN-VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY DEVICE MOUNTED THEREIN

An in-vehicle power supply device includes a boost converter configured to perform a boosting operation to boost a voltage supplied from an input terminal; a connection-assist diode connected in parallel to the boost converter; and a switch element connected in parallel to the boost converter and the connection-assist diode. A controller detects a voltage output from an output terminal as a first voltage while instructing the switch element to open and instructing the boost converter to stop an operation of the boost converter. After detecting the first voltage of the output terminal, the controller detects a voltage output from the output terminal as a second voltage while instructing the switch element to continuously open and instructing the boost converter to perform the boosting operation. Based on the difference between the first and second voltages, the controller judges whether the boost converter is normal or abnormal.

SWITCH FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE
20220234524 · 2022-07-28 ·

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.

DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME
20210405895 · 2021-12-30 · ·

Simplified vehicle door switch device with a large actuating surface

A switch actuating device (1) for a vehicle door includes an actuating element (10) with an actuating surface (11), a mechanical switch (20) and a mechanism (30). The switch is secured on a first component/component group (31). A lever (32) is mounted for pivot in relation to the first component/component group (31). A first region (32.2) of the lever is connected to a first part of the actuating element (10) via a first articulation (10.1). A second part of the actuating element (10) is mounted on the first component/component group (31) via a second articulation (10.2). The actuating element (10) bends when the actuating surface (11) is subjected to manual pressure causing the distance between the first articulation (10.1) and the second articulation (10.2) to shorten, which causes the lever (32) to pivot toward the switch such that the switch is switched.
