Description
With the continuous development of the automotive industry, the function of the front compartment is no longer limited to housing core components such as the engine. Its internal space is increasingly being utilized for storage, placing new demands on both practicality and safety. Currently, the operation to open the front compartment hood is mostly performed externally, either by manually releasing a mechanical lock or pressing an electronic switch. However, modern front compartments now require not only internal lighting for convenient access to stored items but also the ability to unlock and open the hood from the inside in emergency situations, such as when someone is trapped within, ensuring a means of safe escape.
This waterproof emergency release switch for the front compartment hood has been developed to meet these lighting and safety needs. Its structure is simple yet sophisticated, comprising components such as the housing, button seat, button, base, PCBA, and conductive rubber. The button seat is slidably connected to the top of the housing, with the button mounted on it. The housing is detachably connected to the base, and the PCBA installed on the base is located inside the housing. The conductive rubber on the PCBA interacts with the button seat to ensure smooth operation and stable functionality.
The standout feature of this switch is its integration of two core functions: interior lighting for the front compartment and the ability to unlock and open the hood from the inside. When the hood is opened, the interior lighting function activates immediately, providing ample illumination for the compartment, making it easier for users to see clearly when storing or retrieving items or during maintenance. In emergency situations, even if someone is trapped inside the front compartment, they can easily operate the switch to unlock and open the hood from the inside, creating favorable conditions for a safe escape.
Moreover, considering the harsh installation and operational environment of the front compartment, this switch excels in protection performance. Its front, side, and rear surfaces all meet high corresponding protection ratings, effectively resisting moisture, dust, and other intrusions, ensuring stable and reliable operation in various complex conditions.
Designed by our company, this waterproof emergency release switch for the front compartment hood provides robust support for both convenience and emergency safety in the use of the front compartment, making it an indispensable component in automotive safety configurations.
