Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of membrane switches, in particular to a membrane switch with good waterproof performance. Background Art

[0002] Membrane switch is a multi-layer structure (flat) type (non-locking) push button switch, which integrates the functions of buttons, indicating elements, instrument panels, etc. The action of the membrane switch is only realized by the vertical bounce of the elastic film. Although the elastic film has undergone millions of creeps, and the amplitude of creeps is very small, only 0.1-0.3MM, coupled with the rationality of material selection, the film material can withstand a long life of more than one million times without deformation.

[0003] Existing membrane switches basically have a waterproof function. For example, the existing patent with publication number CN218918700U proposes a waterproof membrane switch, which has an electronic heating rod arranged inside. When the membrane switch is used for a long time, the electronic heating rod can be turned on to remove the internal moisture. The rear end of the box body is provided with air dispersion holes, which can effectively disperse the internal moisture.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, although part of the moisture inside the membrane switch can be removed by providing an electronic heating rod, if the membrane switch is left for too long, the user will easily forget the active dehumidification function of the membrane switch, which may still cause moisture inside the membrane switch. Therefore, the utility model aims to provide a membrane switch with good waterproofness that can prevent external moisture from invading the interior of the membrane switch for a long time.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Example: See Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the utility model, a technical solution is provided: a membrane switch with good waterproof performance, including a switch body 14, the switch body 14 includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, screw blocks 3 are fixed on the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the screw blocks 3 on the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and each pair of screw blocks 3 are threadedly connected with a bolt 4, a button 5 is provided on the upper shell 1, and also includes an annular first sealing portion 6, which is arranged at the bottom of the upper shell 1, and an annular sealing groove 8 suitable for inserting the first sealing portion 6 is opened on the lower shell 2; a first magnetic attraction portion 9, which is arranged inside the first sealing portion 6; and a second magnetic attraction portion 10, which is arranged in the sealing groove 8 and is suitable for adsorbing the first magnetic attraction portion 9.

[0026] When the user needs to store the switch body 14 for a long time using the waterproof membrane switch of the above structure, the first sealing portion 6 at the bottom of the upper shell 1 is first inserted into the sealing groove 8 on the lower shell 2. The first sealing portion 6 will block the external humid air from invading the switch body 14 through the gap between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. At this time, the second magnetic portion 10 will absorb the first magnetic portion 9 to make the first sealing portion 6 and the sealing groove 8 fit more closely, so that the switch body 14 can be stored for a long time without being invaded by external humid air.

[0027] In this embodiment, a third magnetic attraction portion 11 is further provided inside the upper shell 1, and the third magnetic attraction portion 11 is suitable for adsorbing the first magnetic attraction portion 9; when the user needs to replace the first sealing portion 6, the first sealing portion 6 can be directly removed from the third magnetic attraction portion 11. After replacement, the first sealing portion 6 is placed on the bottom of the lower shell 2, and the first magnetic attraction portion 9 inside the first sealing portion 6 will be adsorbed by the third magnetic attraction portion 11, which is convenient for the user to replace the first sealing portion 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the third magnetic attraction portion 11 facing the first magnetic attraction portion 9 is larger than the area of ​​the second magnetic attraction portion 10 facing the first magnetic attraction portion 9; when the user separates the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the first sealing portion 6 will be adsorbed on the upper shell 1 by the third magnetic attraction portion 11 to prevent the first sealing portion 6 from being retained on the lower shell 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first sealing portion 6 is protruded to form a plurality of annular protrusions 12, which are cocentric but have different radii, and are flexible. When the first sealing portion 6 is attached to the sealing groove 8, the plurality of annular protrusions 12 at the bottom of the first sealing portion 6 will prevent humid air outside the switch body 14 from entering the interior of the switch body 14, thereby further improving the moisture-proof effect of the switch body 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, the interior of the annular protrusion 12 is a hollow structure; when the first sealing portion 6 is attached to the sealing groove 8, the annular protrusion 12 with a hollow structure will be more closely attached to the sealing groove 8, further preventing external humid air from entering the switch body 14.

[0031] In this embodiment, a second sealing portion 7 is provided inside the upper shell 1, and the second sealing portion 7 is annular. An annular annular groove block 13 is provided inside the lower shell 2, and the annular groove block 13 is suitable for being inserted by the second sealing portion 7; after the user inserts the first sealing portion 6 into the sealing groove 8, the second sealing portion 7 will also be inserted into the annular groove block 13 in a matching manner, so as to achieve a layered protection effect and further prevent external humid air from entering the switch body 14.

[0032] Working principle: When the user needs to store the switch body 14 for a long time, first insert the first sealing part 6 at the bottom of the upper shell 1 into the sealing groove 8 on the lower shell 2. The first sealing part 6 will block the external humid air from invading the inside of the switch body 14 through the gap between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. At this time, the second magnetic attraction part 10 will absorb the first magnetic attraction part 9 to make the first sealing part 6 and the sealing groove 8 fit more tightly, so that the switch body 14 can be stored for a long time without being invaded by external humid air; when the user needs to replace the first sealing part 6, the first sealing part 6 can be directly removed from the third magnetic attraction part 11. After replacement, the first sealing part 6 is placed on the bottom of the lower shell 2. The first magnetic attraction part 9 in the first sealing part 6 will be absorbed by the third magnetic attraction part 11, which is convenient for the user to replace the first sealing part 6; when the user When the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are separated, the first sealing part 6 will be adsorbed on the upper shell 1 by the third magnetic part 11 to prevent the first sealing part 6 from being retained on the lower shell 2; when the first sealing part 6 is fitted into the sealing groove 8, a plurality of annular protrusions 12 located at the bottom of the first sealing part 6 will layer by layer protect the humid air outside the switch body 14 from entering the switch body 14, further improving the moisture-proof effect of the switch body 14; when the first sealing part 6 is fitted into the sealing groove 8, the annular protrusion 12 with a hollow structure will be more closely attached to the sealing groove 8, further preventing external humid air from entering the switch body 14; after the user inserts the first sealing part 6 into the sealing groove 8, the second sealing part 7 will also be inserted into the annular groove block 13 in a matching manner, so as to achieve a layer-by-layer protection effect, further preventing external humid air from entering the switch body 14.
