Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic components, and in particular to a switch structure and a socket. Background Art

[0002] A switch is an electronic component that can open a circuit, interrupt current, or cause it to flow to another circuit. The switch button of the switch structure is exposed on the outside of the switch structure for the user to operate and control.

[0003] The switch button of the traditional switch structure adopts a shell-shaped structure, so that the edges of the shell are used to cover the internal structure of the switch, so that the switch button abuts against the edge of the support seat, so as to improve the reliability and aesthetics of the switch structure, and at the same time increase the overall thickness of the switch structure. In order to reduce the thickness of the switch structure, one traditional approach is to use high-strength materials such as metal parts for the shell. However, this approach can only improve the thickness of the switch structure, but cannot effectively reduce the thickness of the switch structure. Of course, another traditional approach is to reduce the size of the switch button to reduce the height after the button is flipped. Although this approach can reduce the overall thickness of the key switch, it reduces the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a switch structure and a socket to address the problem of thick structure.

[0005] A switch structure, comprising:

[0006] A button, the button comprising a button body, the outline of the button body is a curved surface, and a concave side of the button body is formed with a retaining rib;

[0007] A support seat, the support seat comprising a cover plate, the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, a first groove is formed on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, and the enclosure rib is rotatably connected to the cover plate through the first groove;

[0008] The center line of rotation of the enclosure rib relative to the cover plate is the flip center line of the key body, and the projection of the flip center line on a side of the key body adjacent to the cover plate is the flip projection line;

[0009] When the enclosure rib rotates relative to the cover plate in the positive direction to the first limit position, the portion where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the first abutting surface;

[0010] When the retaining rib rotates in the opposite direction relative to the cover plate to the second extreme position, the portion where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the second abutting surface; the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flip projection line.

[0011] In the above-mentioned switch structure, since a first groove is provided on one side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, the enclosure rib is rotatably connected to the cover plate through the first groove, when the key body rotates to the first extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the enclosure rib, the part where the key body abuts against the cover plate is the first abutting surface, and when the key body rotates to the second extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the enclosure rib, the part where the key body abuts against the cover plate is the second abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flipping projection line, so that the positions where the key body abuts against the support seat are different in the first extreme position and the second extreme position; when the key body is flipped relative to the support seat During the process, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side is in contact with the support seat. In this way, when the button body rotates relative to the cover plate to an open or closed state along with the surrounding ribs, the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the key body is a curved surface, so that the button body can be reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the cover plate. The surrounding ribs are formed on the concave side of the button body, so that the surrounding ribs are set in the concave position of the button body. Compared with the traditional switch structure, the surrounding ribs abut against the edge of the support seat, thereby removing the outermost thickness of the button body, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the support seat also includes a seat body, the cover plate is arranged on the seat body, and the seat body is provided with a second groove; the switch structure also includes a back seat, the back seat portion is located in the second groove and is connected to the support seat; during installation, the seat body is abutted against the mounting surface, and the back seat can be installed in the receiving groove of the bottom box reserved on the mounting surface, so that the thickness of the switch structure exposed on the periphery of the mounting surface is relatively thin.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the second groove is connected to the first groove; when the button body rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the enclosure rib, the back seat abuts against the enclosure rib, and the enclosure rib is set at a position corresponding to the bottom box. In addition, the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, so that the button body can be reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the cover plate, and at the same time, it is helpful to reduce the enclosure rib to the area corresponding to the back seat, which not only removes the thickness of the outermost part of the button body, but also further helps to reduce the thickness of the switch structure.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the projection contour of the enclosure rib on the seat body is located within the groove wall contour of the second groove, so that the enclosure rib is arranged opposite to the rear seat in the second groove, so that the rear seat can reliably abut against the enclosure rib.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the contour of the button body and the contour of the cover plate are both hyperbolic surfaces, so that when the button body rotates to the extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the surrounding ribs, the button body can fit more closely to the surface of the cover plate, further reducing the vibration of the button of the switch structure when the switch is switched, and better improving the user experience of the switch structure.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the line connecting the center of the button body and the center of the cover plate is perpendicular to the plane where the base body is located. During installation, the base body can be abutted against the installation surface. Since the line connecting the center of the button body and the center of the cover plate is perpendicular to the plane where the base body is located, the button body is more compact relative to the cover plate during the flipping and switching process.

[0017] In one embodiment, the button also includes a rotating part, the retaining rib is arranged around the rotating part, the rotating part is rotatably connected to the support seat through the first groove, and the center line of rotation of the rotating part relative to the support seat is colinear with the flipping center line, so that the rotation process of the button body relative to the support seat is smoother.

[0018] In one embodiment, the button further includes a first toggle portion and a second toggle portion, wherein the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion are respectively located on both sides of the flip center line; the enclosure ribs are respectively arranged around the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion;

[0019] The switch structure further comprises a trigger assembly, which is movably disposed on a side of the rear seat adjacent to the support seat, and the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion are respectively in contact with the trigger assembly;

[0020] When the enclosure rib rotates relative to the support seat in the positive direction to the first limit position, the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion jointly push the trigger assembly to a trigger state, so that the switch structure is in an open state;

[0021] When the enclosure rib rotates in the opposite direction to the second extreme position relative to the support seat, the first toggle part and the second toggle part jointly push the trigger assembly to a non-trigger state, so that the switch structure is in a closed state; in this way, the enclosure rib switches between the first extreme position and the second extreme position relative to the support seat to realize the switch control of the switch structure.

[0022] A switch structure, comprising:

[0023] A key, the key comprising a key body, the outline of the key body is a curved surface, and a first groove is formed on a concave side of the key body;

[0024] A support seat, the support seat comprising a cover plate, the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body is formed with a retaining rib, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected to the key body through the first groove;

[0025] The center line of rotation of the button body relative to the enclosure rib is the flip center line of the button body, and the projection of the flip center line on a side of the button body adjacent to the cover plate is the flip projection line;

[0026] When the button body is rotated relative to the enclosure rib in the positive direction to the first limit position, the portion where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the first abutting surface;

[0027] When the button body rotates in the opposite direction relative to the enclosure rib to the second extreme position, the portion where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the second abutting surface; the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flip projection line.

[0028] In the switch structure described above, a first groove is formed on a concave side of the key body, and a retaining rib is formed on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body. The retaining rib is rotatably connected to the key body through the first groove. When the key body rotates to a first limit position relative to the retaining rib, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the first abutting surface. When the key body rotates to a second limit position relative to the retaining rib, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the second abutting surface. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flip projection line, so that the position where the key body abuts against the cover plate at the first limit position and the second limit position is not The same; during the flipping process of the button body relative to the surrounding rib, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side is in contact with the cover plate. In this way, when the button body is rotated to an open or closed state relative to the surrounding rib, since the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the button body is a curved surface, the button body is reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the surrounding rib, and the first groove is formed at the concave position of the button body, which is relative to the traditional switch structure where the surrounding rib abuts against the edge of the support seat, thereby removing the outermost thickness of the button body, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0029] A socket comprises the switch structure described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0030] The above-mentioned socket is rotatably connected with the cover plate due to the support base. Specifically, a first groove is provided on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, and a retaining rib is provided on a side of the key body adjacent to the cover plate, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected with the cover plate through the first groove; or, a first groove is provided on a concave side of the key body, and a retaining rib is formed on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected with the key body through the first groove; when the key body is rotated to a first extreme position relative to the cover plate, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the first abutting surface, and when the key body is rotated to a second extreme position relative to the cover plate, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the second abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are connected. The joint surfaces are respectively located on both sides of the flipping projection line, so that the positions where the button body abuts against the cover plate are different in the first extreme position and the second extreme position; in the process of flipping the button body relative to the cover plate, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side abuts against the support seat, so that when the button body is rotated to an open or closed state relative to the cover plate, because the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the button body is a curved surface, the button body can be reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the cover plate, compared with the traditional switch structure where the retaining rib abuts against the edge of the support seat, the thickness of the outermost part of the button body is removed, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0040] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the switch structure and the socket are described in more detail below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the switch structure and the socket are shown in the drawings. However, the switch structure and the socket can be implemented in many different forms and are not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the switch structure and the socket more thorough and comprehensive.

[0041] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the switch structure and the socket herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a socket of an embodiment includes a switch structure 10. In one embodiment, the switch structure 10 includes a button 100 and a support base 200. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the button 100 includes a button body 105. The outline of the button body 105 is a curved surface. A retaining rib 113 is formed on the concave side of the button body 105. The support seat 200 includes a cover plate 200b, the outline of the cover plate is a curved surface, and a first groove 212 is provided on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the button body 105, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected to the cover plate through the first groove. In this embodiment, a side of the button body 105 adjacent to the cover plate is a first curved surface 110, and a retaining rib is formed on the first curved surface 110. A side of the cover plate adjacent to the button body 105 is a second curved surface 210, and a first groove is provided on the second curved surface.

[0044] When the enclosure rib 113 rotates to the first extreme position in the positive direction relative to the cover plate 200b, the part where the button body 105 abuts against the cover plate 200b is the first abutting surface. When the enclosure rib 113 rotates to the second extreme position in the reverse direction relative to the cover plate 200b, the part where the button body 105 abuts against the cover plate 200b is the second abutting surface. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flipping projection line, so that the position where the button body 105 abuts against the support seat 200 is different in the first extreme position and the second extreme position. During the flipping process of the button body 105 relative to the cover plate 200b, the button body 105 is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side abuts against the cover plate 200b.

[0045] In the above-mentioned switch structure, since a first groove is provided on one side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, the retaining rib is rotatably connected to the cover plate through the first groove, when the key body rotates to the first extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the retaining rib, the part where the key body abuts against the cover plate is the first abutting surface, and when the key body rotates to the second extreme position relative to the cover plate along with the retaining rib, the part where the key body abuts against the cover plate is the second abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flipping projection line, so that the positions where the key body abuts against the support seat at the first extreme position and the second extreme position are different; when the key body is flipped relative to the cover plate During the process, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side is in contact with the support seat. In this way, when the button body rotates relative to the cover plate to an open or closed state along with the surrounding ribs, the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the key body is a curved surface, so that the button body can be reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the cover plate. The surrounding ribs are formed on the concave side of the button body, so that the surrounding ribs are set in the concave position of the button body. Compared with the traditional switch structure, the surrounding ribs abut against the edge of the support seat, thereby removing the outermost thickness of the button body, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0046] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the retaining rib is not limited to being provided on the button body, and the first groove is not limited to being opened on the cover plate.

[0047] In another embodiment, the switch structure includes a button and a support seat. The button includes a button body, and the outline of the button body is a curved surface. A first groove is formed on a concave side of the button body. The support seat includes a cover plate, and the outline of the cover plate is a curved surface. A side of the cover plate adjacent to the button body is formed with a retaining rib, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected to the button body through the first groove. The center line of the button body relative to the retaining rib is the flip center line of the button body, and the projection of the flip center line on the side of the button body adjacent to the cover plate is the flip projection line.

[0048] When the button body rotates relative to the enclosure rib to the first limit position in the positive direction, the part where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the first abutting surface; when the button body rotates relative to the enclosure rib to the second limit position in the reverse direction, the part where the button body abuts against the cover plate is the second abutting surface. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flip projection line.

[0049] In the switch structure described above, a first groove is formed on a concave side of the key body, and a retaining rib is formed on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body. The retaining rib is rotatably connected to the key body through the first groove. When the key body rotates to a first limit position relative to the retaining rib, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the first abutting surface. When the key body rotates to a second limit position relative to the retaining rib, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the second abutting surface. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively located on both sides of the flip projection line, so that the position where the key body abuts against the cover plate at the first limit position and the second limit position is not The same; during the flipping process of the button body relative to the surrounding rib, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side is in contact with the cover plate. In this way, when the button body is rotated to an open or closed state relative to the surrounding rib, since the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the button body is a curved surface, the button body is reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the surrounding rib, and the first groove is formed at the concave position of the button body, which is relative to the traditional switch structure where the surrounding rib abuts against the edge of the support seat, thereby removing the outermost thickness of the button body, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the support seat 200 further includes a seat body 200a, and the cover plate 200b is covered on the seat body 200a. The seat body 200a is provided with a second groove 220. The switch structure further includes a rear seat 300. The rear seat portion is located in the second groove and connected to the support seat. During installation, the seat body is abutted against the mounting surface, and the rear seat can be installed in the receiving groove of the bottom box reserved on the mounting surface, so that the thickness of the switch structure exposed outside the mounting surface is relatively thin.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the target position 20 can be a wall or other position. In the present embodiment, the mounting surface 22 of the switch structure 10 is a wall. The mounting surface 22 is provided with a receiving cavity 222, and the rear seat 300 is located in the receiving cavity 222, so that the rear seat 300 is accommodated in the wall, so that the support seat 200 and the mounting surface 22 can directly abut, thereby making the installation of the switch structure 10 more compact. In the present embodiment, a bottom box 22a is pre-buried in the wall, and the receiving cavity 222 is provided in the bottom box. The bottom box is used to install the switch structure. The projection of the bottom box on the seat body is the first projection surface.

[0052] It can be understood that the enclosure rib can be provided on the button body or the cover plate to shield or protect the components inside the switch structure. In one embodiment, the projection of the enclosure rib on the base body is a second projection surface, the second projection surface is within the first projection surface, and the second projection surface is smaller than or equal to the first projection surface, so that the area of ​​the enclosure rib facing the base body is within the space where the switch structure is installed in the bottom box, so that the enclosure rib is better moved inward, reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the rear seat 300 reliably abut against the enclosure rib 113, in one embodiment, the contour of the projection of the enclosure rib 113 on the seat body 200a is located within the groove wall contour of the second groove 220, so that the enclosure rib 113 and the rear seat 300 in the second groove 220 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the rear seat 300 reliably abuts against the enclosure rib 113. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to better improve the user experience of the switch structure 10, in one embodiment, the contour of the button body 105 and the contour of the cover plate 200b are both hyperbolic surfaces, so that when the button body 105 rotates to the extreme position relative to the cover plate 200b along with the retaining rib 113, the button body 105 can fit more closely to the surface of the cover plate 200b, further reducing the vibration of the button 100 of the switch structure 10 when the switch is switched, thereby better improving the user experience of the switch structure 10.

[0054] In order to make the key body 105 more compact during the flipping and switching process relative to the cover plate 200b, in one embodiment, the line connecting the center of the key body 105 and the center of the cover plate 200b is perpendicular to the plane where the base body 200a is located. During installation, the base body 200a can be abutted against the installation surface. Since the line connecting the center of the key body 105 and the center of the cover plate 200b is perpendicular to the plane where the base body 200a is located, the key body 105 is more compact during the flipping and switching process relative to the cover plate 200b.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the enclosure rib 113 rotatably connected to the support seat 200, in one embodiment, the enclosure rib 113 is provided with a pivot hole 113a, and a first rotating shaft 203 is formed in the support seat 200. The first rotating shaft 203 is located in the pivot hole 113a and is rotatably connected to the enclosure rib 113, so that the enclosure rib 113 is rotatably connected to the support seat 200. In this embodiment, the center line of the pivot hole 113a coincides with the axis of the first rotating shaft 203, so that the enclosure rib 113 rotates relative to the support seat 200. The flip center line coincides with the center line of the pivot hole 113a.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the edge of the enclosing rib 113 facing away from the button body 105 is provided with a first avoidance groove 113b and a second avoidance groove 113c, and the first avoidance groove 113b and the second avoidance groove 113c are respectively located on both sides of the flipping center line to avoid interference between the enclosing rib 113 and the first extreme position relative to the support seat 200 during the switching and rotation process, thereby ensuring a reliable rotation connection between the enclosing rib 113 and the first rotating shaft 203.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the button 100 also includes a rotating part 111, and the retaining rib 113 is arranged around the rotating part 111. The rotating part 111 is rotatably connected to the support base 200 through the first groove 212. The center line of the rotating part 111 relative to the support base 200 is colinear with the flipping center line, so that the rotation process of the button body 105 relative to the support base 200 is smoother.

[0058] In one embodiment, see also Figure 6 The first curved surface 110 includes a first fitting surface 110a, a connecting surface 110b and a second fitting surface 110c, and the connecting surface 110b is connected to the first fitting surface 110a and the second fitting surface 110c respectively. The rotating portion 111 and the enclosure rib 113 are both convexly arranged on the connecting surface 110b. The second curved surface 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 211. The rotating portion 111 is inserted into the first mounting hole 211 and is rotatably connected to the support seat 200. In this embodiment, the first fitting surface is a first abutting surface, and the second fitting surface is a second abutting surface.

[0059] Since the enclosure rib 113 is convexly arranged on the connection surface 110b, that is, the enclosure rib 113 is convexly arranged at the middle position of the first curved surface 110, that is, the enclosure rib 113 is convexly arranged at the concave part of the first curved surface 110, and the side of the key body 105 adjacent to the support seat 200 is the first curved surface 110, and the side of the support seat 200 adjacent to the key body 105 is the second curved surface 210, no matter whether the rotating part 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support seat 200, the fitting mode of the key body 105 and the support seat 200 is the fitting between the curved surfaces, which greatly reduces the overall thickness d of the switch structure 10, and has the effect of thinning the switch structure 10. In one embodiment, the first groove 212 and the first mounting hole 211 are both connected to the second groove 220, so that the structure of the switch structure 10 is simpler and the assembly of the switch structure 10 is convenient.

[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the second curved surface 210 is provided with a first mating curved surface 216 and a second mating curved surface 217 located on both sides of the first mounting hole. The rotating portion 111 is inserted into the first mounting hole and is rotatably connected to the support seat 200. In this embodiment, the projection of the first fitting surface 110a on the second curved surface 210 is the first projection surface, and the projection of the second fitting surface 110c on the second curved surface 210 is the second projection surface. The projection of the center line of the rotation of the rotating portion 111 relative to the support seat 200 on the second curved surface 210 is the middle projection line, and the first projection surface and the second projection surface are respectively located on both sides of the middle projection line. The first projection surface is located on the first mating curved surface, and the second projection surface is located on the second mating curved surface.

[0061] In one embodiment, the line connecting the center of the first curved surface 110 and the center of the second curved surface 210 is a normal line. The projection of the first bonding surface 110a on the second curved surface 210 along the direction of the normal line is a first projection surface. The projection of the second bonding surface 110c on the second curved surface 210 along the direction of the normal line is a second projection surface. Specifically, the normal line is perpendicular to the seat body 200a and the mounting surface 22, respectively.

[0062] When the rotating part 111 rotates to the first limit position in the positive direction relative to the support base 200, the first contact surface 110a contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in the triggered state. When the rotating part 111 rotates to the second limit position in the reverse direction relative to the support base 200, the second contact surface 110c contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in the non-triggered state.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the rotating part 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support base 200, the rotating part 111 of the key body 105 flips relative to the support base 200, and the first fitting surface 110a or the second fitting surface 110c of the first curved surface 110 fits with the second curved surface 210, that is, when the key body 105 rotates to the extreme position relative to the support base 200, a switch structure 10 in which the key body 105 is suspended is formed.

[0064] When the rotating part 111 rotates to the first limit position in the positive direction relative to the support base 200, the first contact surface 110a contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in a triggered state, that is, the switch structure 10 is in an open state. When the rotating part 111 rotates to the second limit position in the reverse direction relative to the support base 200, the second contact surface 110c contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in a non-triggered state, that is, the switch mechanism is in a closed state. No matter the switch structure 10 is switched to an open state or a closed state, the key body 105 is flipped relative to the support base 200 through the rotating part 111, and the bottom of the key body 105 is always in contact with the second curved surface 210 of the support base 200 when the switch structure 105 is in the switch switching state, so that the key body 105 and the second curved surface 210 are both in a surface-to-surface contact. Compared with the traditional way in which the edge of the key body 105 contacts the support base 200, the area of ​​the key body 105 rotating and fitting relative to the support base 200 is larger, which greatly reduces the vibration of the key body 105 of the switch structure 10 when the switch is switched, thereby improving the user experience of the switch structure 10.

[0065] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the first projection surface is equal to the area of ​​the first matching curved surface, and the area of ​​the second projection surface is equal to the area of ​​the second matching curved surface, so that the key 100 and the support base 200 can be reliably fitted. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the area of ​​the first projection surface can be smaller than the area of ​​the first matching curved surface, and the area of ​​the second projection surface can be smaller than the area of ​​the second matching curved surface.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the connection surface 110b located in the middle position between the first bonding surface 110a and the second bonding surface 110c, in one embodiment, the connection surface 110b is located between the first bonding surface 110a and the second bonding surface 110c, so that the connection surface 110b is located in the middle position between the first bonding surface 110a and the second bonding surface 110c. When the key body 105 is flipped to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support base 200, the area where the key body 105 is bonded to the second curved surface 210 is relatively uniform.

[0067] like Figure 6As shown, in order to further improve the user experience, in one embodiment, the first matching curved surface and the second matching curved surface are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the rotation of the rotating part 111 relative to the support seat 200, that is, the first projection surface and the second projection surface are symmetrically arranged about the middle projection line. When the key body 105 is flipped to the first extreme position and the second extreme position relative to the support seat 200, the area of ​​the key body 105 and the second curved surface 210 are equal, that is, the area of ​​the first bonding surface 110a is equal to the area of ​​the second bonding surface 110c, so that the abutting force of the key body 105 against the second curved surface 210 is equal when it is flipped to the first extreme position and the second extreme position relative to the support seat 200, so that the user is more comfortable during the switch switching process of the switch structure 10, and the user experience is further improved.

[0068] It should be noted that the rotating portion 111 is protruded from a side of the connecting surface adjacent to the support seat 200, and the rotating portion 111 is installed in the first installation hole. The rotating portion 111 is flipped to the middle position relative to the support seat 200. At this time, the first fitting surface and the first matching curved surface are not in a fitting state, and the second fitting surface and the second matching curved surface are not in a fitting state, and there is a gap between the first curved surface and the second curved surface. In this way, even if the curvature of the first fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the first matching curved surface, and the curvature of the second fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching curved surface, the rotating portion 111 can be flipped relative to the support seat 200, so that the button 100 can be flipped and switched to the first extreme position or the second extreme position.

[0069] In one embodiment, the curvature of the first fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the first matching curved surface, so that when the rotating portion 111 rotates to the first extreme position relative to the support base 200, the first fitting surface and the first matching curved surface are perfectly fitted. The curvature of the second fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching curved surface, so that when the rotating portion 111 rotates to the second extreme position relative to the support base 200, the second fitting surface and the second matching curved surface are perfectly fitted, so that the key 100 has less vibration during the flipping and switching process relative to the support base 200, further improving the user experience of the switch structure 10.

[0070] In one embodiment, the curvature of the first fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second fitting surface, that is, the first fitting surface and the second fitting surface are symmetrically arranged. Since the curvature of the first fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the first matching curved surface, and the curvature of the second fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching curved surface, the curvature of the first matching curved surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching curved surface, making the switch structure 10 more compact. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first curved surface 110 and the second curved surface 210 are both hyperbolic surfaces.

[0071] like Figure 5As shown, in order to ensure the user experience and reduce the material of the key body 105, in one embodiment, the first curved surface 110 is provided with a plurality of grid grooves 112, which increases the strength of the key body 105 and improves the molding accuracy of the key body 105. In this embodiment, the plurality of grid grooves 112 are distributed in a rectangular array, which not only reduces the material of the key body 105, but also does not affect the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment, the button 100 further includes a first toggle portion 114 and a second toggle portion 115, and the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion are respectively located on both sides of the flip center line. The enclosure ribs 113 are respectively arranged around the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 115. The switch structure 10 further includes a trigger assembly 400, which is movably arranged on a side of the rear seat 300 adjacent to the support seat 200, and the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 115 are respectively in contact with the trigger assembly.

[0073] When the enclosure rib 113 rotates in the positive direction to the first limit position relative to the support seat 200, the first toggle part and the second toggle part jointly push the trigger assembly to the trigger state, so that the switch structure 10 is in the open state. When the enclosure rib 113 rotates in the reverse direction to the second limit position relative to the support seat 200, the first toggle part and the second toggle part jointly push the trigger assembly to the non-trigger state, so that the switch structure 10 is in the closed state. In this way, the enclosure rib 113 switches between the first limit position and the second limit position relative to the support seat 200 to realize the switch control of the switch structure 10.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 115 are protruded from the connecting surface 110b. The second curved surface 210 also has two mounting holes 213. The first toggle portion 114 is inserted into one of the mounting holes 213 and abuts against the trigger assembly 400, and the second toggle portion 115 is inserted into the other mounting hole 213 and abuts against the trigger assembly 400.

[0075] When the rotating part 111 rotates to the first limit position in the positive direction relative to the support seat 200, the first toggle part 114 and the second toggle part 115 jointly push the trigger assembly 400 to move to the trigger state relative to the rear seat 300, and the first contact surface 110a contacts the second curved surface 210, so that the switch structure 10 is in the triggered state. When the rotating part 111 rotates to the second limit position in the reverse direction relative to the support seat 200, the first toggle part 114 and the second toggle part 115 jointly push the trigger assembly 400 to move to the non-triggered state relative to the rear seat 300, and the second contact surface 110c contacts the second curved surface 210, so that the switch structure 10 is in the non-triggered state.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, a first abutting groove 114a is provided on a side of the first toggle portion 114 adjacent to the second toggle portion 115, so that the first toggle portion 114 abuts against the trigger assembly 400 through the inner wall of the first abutting groove 114a, so that the first toggle portion 114 reliably pushes the trigger assembly 400. A second abutting groove 115a is provided on a side of the second toggle portion 115 adjacent to the first toggle portion 114, so that the second toggle portion 115 abuts against the trigger assembly 400 through the inner wall of the second abutting groove 115a, so that the second toggle portion 115 reliably pushes the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the second abutting groove 115a is provided corresponding to the first abutting groove 114a, so that the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 115 abut against the trigger assembly 400 together, so that the trigger assembly 400 can be better toggled.

[0077] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the first toggle part 114 and the second toggle part 115 both reliably abut against the trigger assembly 400, in one embodiment, the trigger assembly 400 is provided with a first convex wall 410 and a second convex wall 420. The first toggle part 114 abuts against the first convex wall 410, and the second toggle part 115 abuts against the second convex wall 420, so as to avoid the first toggle part 114 and the second toggle part 115 from slipping during the process of abutting and pushing the trigger assembly 400, so that the first toggle part 114 and the second toggle part 115 can both reliably abut against the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the first convex wall is located in the first groove 212 and abuts against the first toggle part, and the second convex wall is located in the second groove 220 and abuts against the second toggle part.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the first toggle portion 114 better abut against the trigger assembly 400, in one embodiment, a first protrusion 114b is provided on one side of the first toggle portion 114 facing the second toggle portion 115, so that the first toggle portion 114 better abuts against the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 114b is located in the first abutting groove 114a.

[0079] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the second toggle portion 115 better abut against the trigger assembly 400, in one embodiment, the second toggle portion 115 is provided with a second protrusion 115b on one side facing the first toggle portion 114, so that the second toggle portion 115 better abuts against the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the second protrusion 115b is located in the second abutting groove 115a.

[0080] like Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 200a is detachably connected to the cover plate 200b. The cover plate 200b is covered on the base 200a. The second curved surface 210 is formed on a side of the cover plate 200b adjacent to the key body 105. The first mounting hole 211 and the first groove 212 are both provided in the cover plate 200b. The second groove 220 is provided in the base 200a, and the rear seat 300 is located in the second groove 220, so that the rear seat 300 is connected to the support base 200.

[0081] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by a buckle 204, so that the base 200a and the cover plate 200b can be quickly disassembled and assembled, thereby improving the convenience of using the switch structure 10. Specifically, the base 200a is provided with a buckle 202, and the cover plate 200b is provided with a buckle 204 protruding on a side adjacent to the base 200a, and the buckle 204 is buckled into the buckle 202, so that the base 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by the buckle 204.

[0082] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment, a positioning boss 310 is convexly provided on the peripheral wall of the rear seat 300, and the positioning boss 310 is located between the seat body 200a and the cover plate 200b. When the seat body 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by the buckle 204, the positioning boss 310 is clamped between the seat body 200a and the cover plate 200b, so that the rear seat 300 is reliably connected between the seat body 200a and the cover plate 200b.

[0083] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating portion 111 is provided with a rotating groove 111a, and a second rotating shaft 205 adapted to the rotating groove 111a is formed in the support seat 200, so that the rotating portion 111 is rotatably connected to the support seat 200. In this embodiment, the second rotating shaft 205 is formed on a side of the cover plate 200b adjacent to the seat body 200a.

[0084] like Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the retaining edge 113 is arranged around the rotating part 111. When the rotating part 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support seat 200, the retaining edge 113 abuts against the rear seat 300, and at the same time, the second curved surface 210 abuts against the first fitting surface 110a or the second fitting surface 110c, so as to better prevent the rotating part 111 from excessively rotating relative to the support seat 200. In addition, since the retaining edge 113 is protruded from the connecting surface 110b, that is, the retaining edge 113 is protruded from the middle position of the first curved surface 110, that is, the retaining edge 113 is protruded from the concave part of the first curved surface 110, and the side of the button body 105 adjacent to the support seat 200 is the first curved surface 110, and the side of the support seat 200 adjacent to the button body 105 is the second curved surface 210, no matter whether the rotating part 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support seat 200, the fitting method of the button body 105 and the support seat 200 is the fitting between curved surfaces, which greatly reduces the overall thickness of the switch structure 10.

[0085] The present application also provides a socket (not shown) comprising the switch structure described in any of the above embodiments.

[0086] The above-mentioned socket is rotatably connected with the cover plate due to the support base. Specifically, a first groove is provided on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, and a retaining rib is provided on a side of the key body adjacent to the cover plate, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected with the cover plate through the first groove; or, a first groove is provided on a concave side of the key body, and a retaining rib is formed on a side of the cover plate adjacent to the key body, and the retaining rib is rotatably connected with the key body through the first groove; when the key body is rotated to a first extreme position relative to the cover plate, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the first abutting surface, and when the key body is rotated to a second extreme position relative to the cover plate, the part where the key body and the cover plate abut is the second abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are connected. The joint surfaces are respectively located on both sides of the flipping projection line, so that the positions where the button body abuts against the cover plate are different in the first extreme position and the second extreme position; in the process of flipping the button body relative to the cover plate, the button body is tilted at one side of the flipping projection line, and the other side abuts against the support seat, so that when the button body is rotated to an open or closed state relative to the cover plate, because the contour of the cover plate is a curved surface, and the contour of the button body is a curved surface, the button body can be reliably fitted with the cover plate when it is flipped to the extreme position relative to the cover plate, compared with the traditional switch structure where the retaining rib abuts against the edge of the support seat, the thickness of the outermost part of the button body is removed, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch structure.

[0087] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0088] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements may be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
