[0037] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-2 The utility model provides a power button frame 1 (referred to as "frame", same below) for side power button, comprising:

[0039] Bonding part 11, bonding part 11 is formed with bonding surface 111 for bonding connection with module body 21 of FPR module 2;

[0040] Assembly part 12, assembly part 12 is formed with interference assembly hole 121 for interference fit with first limiting part 31 of C piece 3;

[0041] First elastic arm part 13 with elastic reset performance, the first end of first elastic arm part 13 is connected with bonding part 11, and the second end is connected with assembly part 12;

[0042] Switch abutting part 14, switch abutting part 14 is arranged at the position of avoidance opening 112 of bonding part 11, and the two ends of switch abutting part 14 are connected with assembly part 12 through second elastic arm part 15 with elastic reset performance respectively, and switch abutting part 14 is formed with switch abutting surface 141 for contact with micro switch 22 of FPR module 2.

[0043] The first elastic arm part 13 is provided with two, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the bonding part 11, the two ends of the bonding part 11 are respectively connected with the first ends of the two first elastic arm parts 13, and the second ends of the two first elastic arm parts 13 are connected with the two ends of the assembling part 12.

[0044] For example, as shown in Figures 4-5 The FPR module 2 includes a module body 21 and a micro switch 22, the module body 21 includes a switch button 211, a circuit board 212 and a compensation plate 213, and the compensation plate 213 is bonded and connected with the bonding surface 111.

[0045] For example, the switch abutting surface 141 is in contact with the micro switch 22 of the FPR module, so that in the test stage, if it is found that the button pressing force is too large during debugging, a sticky layer 17 can be arranged between the switch abutting surface 141 and the micro switch 22, and the second elastic arm part 15 has a small pre-pressing amount by additionally arranging the sticky layer 17 on the switch abutting surface 141. Therefore, when the frame 1 of the application is applied to the side power button 4, the pressing force of the power button 4 is equal to the difference between the triggering force of the micro switch 22 and the pre-pressing force generated by the second elastic arm part 15. Therefore, the size of the power button 4 can be optimized by adjusting the pre-pressing force generated by the second elastic arm part 15.

[0046] For example, the interference assembly hole 121 is interference assembled with the first limiting part 31 of the C part, specifically, the interference assembly hole 121 is in abutment with the first limiting part 31 in the X direction, so that the interference assembly hole 121 is interference assembled with the first limiting part 31. The interference assembly hole 121 and the first limiting part 31 are limited by static friction force in the Y and Z directions, and are in abutment with the first limiting part 31 in the X direction to be completely limited, so as to ensure the normality of the elastic arm function. Therefore, the structure of the interference assembly hole 121 of the assembling part 12 of the application ensures the stability of the X direction size, and does not completely limit the Y and Z directions, avoiding that the power button is in contact with the side wall and is extruded to affect the pressing feeling due to large position degree deviation.

[0047] The power button frame 1 of the application is interference assembled with the limiting rib (i.e. the first limiting part 31) of the C part 3 through the interference assembly hole 121, so as to realize the connection of the frame 1 and the C part 3, the connection with the FPR module 2 is realized through the bonding surface 111 and the switch abutting surface 141, and the elastic reset function is provided for the power button 4 when it is pressed through the first elastic arm part 13 and the second elastic arm part 15 arranged on the frame 1. Therefore, the frame 1 of the application can stably fix the entire FPR module and the frame 1 without being locked by screws with the C part 3. When the frame 1 of the application is assembled to the C part, it is convenient to install and assemble, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0048] For example, the frame 1 of the application can be integrally formed by mold injection, so as to obtain a pure plastic frame structure, thereby reducing the production cost of the frame.

[0049] The application framework 1 realizes the screw-free assembly scheme of the pure plastic framework by skillfully setting the interference point (for example, the third limiting portion 32) on the C part in a way of avoiding, and simultaneously considers the function of adjustable button pressing force, and has high application value and economic benefits.

[0050] For example, the two sides of the switch abutting portion 14 are connected with the assembly portion 12 through the second elastic arm portion 15, so as to realize the stability of the position degree of the framework 1.

[0051] In one embodiment, the power button framework of the application further comprises a second limiting portion 16 which is arranged in a gap opposite to the third limiting portion 32 of the C part 3; the second limiting portion 16 is connected with the switch abutting portion 14, so that the second limiting portion 16 and the switch abutting portion 14 and the second elastic arm portion 15 form an avoiding recess 161 for avoiding the third limiting portion 32 when assembled.

[0052] The second limiting portion 16 is connected with the switch abutting portion 14 and is arranged away from the switch abutting surface 141, the second limiting portion 16 and the switch abutting portion 14 are generally in T-shaped structure, so that the second limiting portion 16 and the switch abutting portion 14 form a limiting step. The limiting step and the third limiting portion 32 of the C part are reserved with a 0.2mm gap, which can be adjusted according to the actual measurement.

[0053] According to the second aspect of the present application, as Figures 1-5 shown, the utility model still provides a side power button 4, including FPR module 2, still including power button framework 1 in any one of above-mentioned embodiment. Among them, power button framework 1, including: bonding portion 11, bonding portion 11 is formed with the bonding surface 111 for bonding connection with the module main body 21 of FPR module 2;Assembly portion 12, the interference assembly hole 121 for the interference fit with the first limiting portion 31 of C part 3 is formed on assembly portion 12;First elastic arm portion 13 with elastic reset performance, the first end of first elastic arm portion 13 is connected with bonding portion 11, and the second end is connected with assembly portion 12;Switch abutting portion 14, switch abutting portion 14 is arranged at the avoiding mouth 112 position of bonding portion 11, and the two ends of switch abutting portion 14 are connected with assembly portion 12 through second elastic arm portion 15 with elastic reset performance respectively, and switch abutting portion 14 is formed with the switch abutting surface 141 for contact with micro switch 22 of FPR module 2.

[0054] Specifically, as Figures 4-5 shown, FPR module 2 includes module main body 21 and micro switch 22, and the module main body 21 includes switch key 211, circuit board 212 and compensation plate 213, and the compensation plate 213 is bonded and connected with the bonding surface 111.

[0055] The side power button 4 with the power button frame 1 can realize stable fixation of the whole FPR module and the frame 1 without screw locking with the C part, so that the side power button 4 is convenient to install, convenient to assemble and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0056] According to the third aspect of the present application, as shown in the drawings, the utility model further provides a notebook computer, which comprises a C part 3 and the side power button 4. Figures 6-11

[0057] The C part 3 is provided with a button hole 33, a first limiting part 31 and a third limiting part 32, the first limiting part 31 and the third limiting part 32 are limiting ribs, and the switch key 211 of the FPR module 2 is positioned in the button hole 33. For example, the C part is provided with the button hole 33, and the single-side gap between the FPR module is 0.1 mm, that is, the FPR module is positioned by the appearance, and the power button frame 1 and the C part 3 are fixed by interference assembly, and the bonding surface 111 and the compensation plate 213 of the FPR module are bonded together, so that the appearance part of the FPR module (that is, the switch key 211 of the FPR module) is inserted into the C part side wall to form an inverted structure, therefore, when the side power button is applied to the notebook computer, the side power button can stably fix the whole side power button and the frame without screw locking, that is, the whole power button 4 can be stably fixed on the C part.

[0058] The assembly process of the side power button to the C part is described in detail as follows:

[0060] Then, the outside of the interference assembly hole 121 is pressed in the direction of the button hole of the C part 3 to make it elastically deform until the interference assembly hole is aligned with the first limiting part 31 of the C part in the vertical direction, at this time, the interference assembly hole and the relief groove are located on the upper part of the first limiting part 31 and the third limiting part 32 respectively, at this time, the button has no interference point in the Z direction assembly, and can be directly assembled to the bottom;
