Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic components, and in particular to a switch structure. 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 keys of the switch structure are exposed on the outside of the switch structure for the user to operate and control.

[0003] The button of a traditional switch structure rotates relative to the support plate assembly when the switch is in a switching state. Specifically, the bottom of the button will enter the support plate assembly at the same time when the switch is in a switching state, and the extreme rotation position of the bottom of the button relative to the support plate assembly is achieved by the edge of the button adjacent to the enclosure abutting against the support plate assembly, so that the contact area between the edge of the button and the support plate assembly is smaller, thereby causing the button of the switch structure to vibrate more when the switch is switched. In this way, the switch vibrates more during use, resulting in a poor user experience of the switch structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a switch structure to address the problem of poor user experience of the switch structure.

[0005] A switch structure includes a button and a support plate assembly;

[0006] A side of the button adjacent to the support plate assembly is a first curved surface, the first curved surface includes a first fitting surface, a connecting surface, and a second fitting surface, the connecting surface is located between the first fitting surface and the second fitting surface, the connecting surface is connected to the first fitting surface and the second fitting surface respectively, and a pivoting member is convexly provided on the connecting surface;

[0007] The side of the support plate assembly adjacent to the button is a second curved surface, the second curved surface is provided with a first mounting hole, the second curved surface is provided with a first matching curved surface and a second matching curved surface located on both sides of the first mounting hole, the pivot member is passed through the first mounting hole and is rotatably connected to the support plate assembly;

[0008] When the pivot member rotates relative to the support plate assembly in a positive direction to a first extreme position, the first abutting surface abuts against the first matching curved surface;

[0009] When the pivoting member rotates in the opposite direction relative to the supporting plate assembly to a second extreme position, the second abutting surface abuts against the second matching curved surface.

[0010] In the above-mentioned switch structure, since one side of the key adjacent to the support plate assembly is a first curved surface, and one side of the support plate assembly adjacent to the key is a second curved surface, and since the second curved surface is provided with a first matching curved surface and a second matching curved surface located on both sides of the first mounting hole, when the pivot member rotates in the positive direction relative to the support plate assembly to the first extreme position, the first fitting surface fits with the first matching curved surface, and the switch structure is in a triggered state, that is, the switch structure is in an open state; when the pivot member rotates in the reverse direction relative to the support plate assembly to the second extreme position, the second fitting surface fits with the second matching curved surface, and the switch structure is in a non-triggered state, that is, the switch mechanism is in a closed state; no matter whether the switch structure is switched to an open state or a closed state, the key is flipped relative to the support plate assembly through the pivot member, and the bottom of the key is always fitted to the second curved surface of the support plate assembly when the key is in the switch switching state, so that the key and the second curved surface are fitted in a surface-to-surface manner, and compared with the traditional way in which the edge of the key contacts the support plate assembly, the area of ​​the key rotating and fitting relative to the support plate assembly is larger, which greatly reduces the vibration of the key of the switch structure during the switch switching and improves the user experience of the switch structure. In one embodiment, the first mating curved surface and the second mating curved surface are symmetrically arranged about the center line of rotation of the pivot member relative to the support plate assembly, and when the key is flipped to the first extreme position and the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, respectively, the area where the key fits with the second curved surface is equal.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first curved surface and the second curved surface are both hyperbolic surfaces, so that when the key is flipped to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the first curved surface and the second curved surface fit more closely, further reducing the vibration of the key of the switch structure when the switch is switched, thereby better improving the user experience of the switch structure.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, the curvature of the first fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the first matching surface, so that when the pivot member rotates to the first extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the first fitting surface and the first matching surface are perfectly fitted; the curvature of the second fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching surface, so that when the pivot member rotates to the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the second fitting surface and the second matching surface are perfectly fitted, so that the vibration of the button is smaller during the flipping and switching process relative to the support plate assembly, further improving the user experience of the switch structure.

[0013] 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 surface, and the curvature of the second fitting surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching surface, the curvature of the first matching surface is the same as the curvature of the second matching surface, so that the switch structure is more compact.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the first curved surface is provided with a plurality of grid grooves, which increases the strength of the key and improves the molding accuracy of the key.

[0015] In one embodiment, the switch structure further comprises a rear seat, a receiving hole is formed on a side of the support plate assembly facing away from the button, and the rear seat is located in the receiving hole and connected to the support plate assembly;

[0016] The connecting surface is also provided with a convex enclosure edge, and the second curved surface is provided with a second mounting hole connected with the accommodating hole, and the enclosure edge is passed through the second mounting hole; when the pivot member rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the enclosure edge abuts against the rear seat, and at the same time, the second curved surface abuts against the first fitting surface or the second fitting surface to prevent the pivot member from rotating excessively relative to the support plate assembly; in addition, since the enclosure edge is convexly provided on the connecting surface, that is, the enclosure edge is convexly provided at the middle position of the first curved surface, that is, the enclosure edge is convexly provided at the concave part of the first curved surface, and the side of the button adjacent to the support plate assembly is the first curved surface, and the side of the support plate assembly adjacent to the button is the second curved surface, no matter the pivot member rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the fitting mode of the button and the support plate assembly is the fitting between curved surfaces, which greatly reduces the overall thickness of the switch structure.

[0017] In one embodiment, the switch structure further comprises a trigger assembly, and the trigger assembly is movably disposed on a side of the rear seat adjacent to the support plate assembly;

[0018] The connecting surface is also convexly provided with a first toggle portion and a second toggle portion; the second curved surface is also provided with two third mounting holes, the first toggle portion is passed through one of the third mounting holes and abuts against the trigger assembly, and the second toggle portion is passed through the other third mounting hole and abuts against the trigger assembly;

[0019] When the pivot member rotates to a first extreme position in a positive direction relative to the support plate assembly, the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion jointly push the trigger assembly to move relative to the rear seat to a trigger state, and the first contact surface contacts the second curved surface, so that the switch structure is in a trigger state;

[0020] When the pivot member rotates in the opposite direction to the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the first toggle portion and the second toggle portion jointly push the trigger assembly to move to a non-trigger state relative to the rear seat, and the second fitting surface fits with the second curved surface, so that the switch structure is in a non-trigger state.

[0021] In one embodiment, a first protrusion is disposed on a side of the first toggle portion facing the second toggle portion, so that the first toggle portion can better abut against the trigger assembly.

[0022] In one embodiment, a second protrusion is disposed on a side of the second moving portion facing the first moving portion, so that the second moving portion can better abut against the trigger assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the switch structure 10 of one embodiment includes a button 100 and a support plate assembly 200. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side of the button 100 adjacent to the support plate assembly 200 is a first curved surface 110. Figure 5 , 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. A pivoting member 111 is convexly provided on the connecting surface 110b. The side of the support plate assembly 200 adjacent to the button 100 is a second curved surface 210, and the second curved surface 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 211. The pivoting member 111 is passed through the first mounting hole 211 and is rotatably connected to the support plate assembly 200. In this embodiment, when the switch structure 10 is installed, the side of the support plate assembly 200 facing away from the button 100 abuts against the mounting surface 22 of the target position 20 of the switch structure 10. It can be understood that the target position 20 can be a wall or other positions.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a first mating curved surface 216 and a second mating curved surface 217 located on both sides of the first mounting hole are provided on the second curved surface. The pivot member is inserted into the first mounting hole and is rotatably connected to the support plate assembly. 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 rotation of the pivot member 111 relative to the support plate assembly 200 on the second curved surface 210 is the projection line, and the first projection surface and the second projection surface are respectively located on both sides of the 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.

[0042] 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. The projection of the center line of the pivot 111 rotating relative to the support plate assembly 200 on the second curved surface 210 along the direction of the normal line is a projection line. Specifically, the normal line is perpendicular to the mounting surface 22.

[0043] When the pivot member 111 rotates to the first extreme position in the positive direction relative to the support plate assembly 200, the first contact surface 110a contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in the triggered state. When the pivot member 111 rotates to the second extreme position in the reverse direction relative to the support plate assembly 200, the second contact surface 110c contacts the second curved surface 210, and the switch structure 10 is in the non-triggered state.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the pivot member 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the pivot member 111 of the key 100 flips relative to the support plate assembly 200, and the first fitting surface 110a or the second fitting surface 110c of the first curved surface 110 fits onto the second curved surface 210, that is, when the key 100 rotates to the extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, a suspended switch structure 10 of the key 100 is formed.

[0045] In the switch structure 10, since the side of the key 100 adjacent to the support plate assembly 200 is the first curved surface 110, and the side of the support plate assembly 200 adjacent to the key 100 is the second curved surface 210, and since the projection of the first affixed surface 110a on the second curved surface 210 is the first projection surface, and the projection of the second affixed surface 110c on the second curved surface 210 is the second projection surface, and the first projection surface and the second projection surface are respectively located on both sides of the projection line, when the pivot 111 rotates in the positive direction relative to the support plate assembly 200 to the first extreme position, the first affixed surface 110a affixes with 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 pivot 111 rotates in the reverse direction relative to the support plate assembly 200 to the second extreme position, the second affixed surface 110c affixes with 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 the open state or the closed state, the button 100 is flipped relative to the support plate assembly 200 through the pivot member 111, and the bottom of the button 100 is always in contact with the second curved surface 210 of the support plate assembly 200 when the switch structure 100 is in the switch switching state, so that the button 100 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 button 100 contacts the support plate assembly 200, the area of ​​the button 100 rotating and fitting relative to the support plate assembly 200 is larger, which greatly reduces the vibration of the button 100 of the switch structure 10 when the switch is switched, thereby improving the user experience of the switch structure 10.

[0046] 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 and the support plate assembly 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.

[0047] like Figure 5 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 100 is flipped to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the area where the key 100 is bonded to the second curved surface 210 is relatively uniform.

[0048] like Figure 5As 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 pivot member relative to the support plate assembly, that is, the first projection surface and the second projection surface are symmetrically arranged about the projection line. When the key 100 is flipped to the first extreme position and the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the area of ​​the key 100 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 100 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 plate assembly 200, so that the user is more comfortable during the switch switching process of the switch structure 10, further improving the user experience.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to better improve the user experience of the switch structure 10, in one embodiment, the first curved surface 110 and the second curved surface 210 are both hyperbolic surfaces, so that when the key 100 is flipped to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the first curved surface 110 and the second curved surface 210 are more closely fitted, further reducing the vibration of the key 100 of the switch structure 10 when the switch is switched, and better improving the user experience of the switch structure 10. In this embodiment, the contours of the first curved surface 110 and the second curved surface 210 are both hyperbolic surfaces.

[0050] It should be noted that the pivot member 111 is protruded from a side of the connecting surface adjacent to the support plate assembly, the pivot member is installed in the first mounting hole, and the pivot member is flipped to the middle position relative to the support plate assembly. 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 pivot member can be flipped relative to the support plate assembly, so that the button can be flipped and switched to the first extreme position or the second extreme position.

[0051] 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 pivot member rotates to the first extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, 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 pivot member rotates to the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly, the second fitting surface and the second matching curved surface are perfectly fitted, so that the vibration of the key relative to the support plate assembly during flipping and switching is small, further improving the user experience of the switch structure.

[0052] In one embodiment, the curvature of the first mating surface is the same as the curvature of the second mating surface, that is, the first mating surface and the second mating surface are symmetrically arranged. Since the curvature of the first mating surface is the same as the curvature of the first matching curved surface, and the curvature of the second mating 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 more compact. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first curved surface 110 and the second curved surface 210 are both hyperbolic surfaces.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure the user experience and reduce the material of the key 100, in one embodiment, the first curved surface 110 is provided with a plurality of grid grooves 112, which increases the strength of the key 100 and improves the molding accuracy of the key 100. In this embodiment, the plurality of grid grooves 112 are distributed in a rectangular array, which not only reduces the material of the key 100, but also does not affect the user experience.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the switch structure 10 further includes a rear seat 300. A receiving hole 220 is provided on the side of the support plate assembly 200 facing away from the button 100, and the rear seat 300 is located in the receiving hole 220 and connected to the support plate assembly 200. In this embodiment, the mounting surface 22 of the switch structure 10 is a wall surface. 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 plate assembly 200 and the mounting surface 22 can directly abut, thereby making the installation of the switch structure 10 more compact. In this embodiment, a bottom box 22a is pre-buried in the wall, and the receiving cavity 222 is opened in the bottom box.

[0055] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting surface 110b is further provided with a convex retaining edge 113. The second curved surface 210 is provided with a second mounting hole 212 communicating with the receiving hole 220, and the retaining edge 113 is passed through the second mounting hole 212. When the pivot 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the retaining edge 113 abuts against the rear seat 300, and the second curved surface 210 abuts against the first fitting surface 110a or the second fitting surface 110c, so as to prevent the pivot 111 from rotating excessively relative to the support plate assembly 200. In addition, since the retaining edge 113 is convexly disposed on the connecting surface 110b, that is, the retaining edge 113 is convexly disposed at the middle position of the first curved surface 110, that is, the retaining edge 113 is convexly disposed at the concave part of the first curved surface 110, and the side of the button 100 adjacent to the support plate assembly 200 is the first curved surface 110, and the side of the support plate assembly 200 adjacent to the button 100 is the second curved surface 210, no matter whether the pivot 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the fitting mode of the button 100 and the support plate assembly 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. In one embodiment, the second mounting hole 212 and the first mounting hole 211 are both connected to the receiving hole 220, so that the structure of the switch structure 10 is simpler and the assembly of the switch structure 10 is convenient.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to enable the retaining edge 113 to assist in limiting the relative rotation of the button 100 and the support plate assembly 200, in one embodiment, the retaining edge 113 and the pivot member 111 are both protruded from the connecting surface 110b, and the retaining plate is arranged around the pivot member 111, so that when the pivot member 111 of the button 100 is rotated to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the retaining edge 113 abuts against the rear seat 300, thereby enabling the retaining edge 113 to assist in limiting the relative rotation of the button 100 and the support plate assembly 200.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the switch structure 10 further includes a trigger assembly 400, which is movably disposed on a side of the rear seat 300 adjacent to the support plate assembly 200. The connecting surface 110b is further provided with a first toggle portion 114 and a second toggle portion 115. The second curved surface 210 is further provided with two third mounting holes 213. The first toggle portion 114 is disposed in one of the third mounting holes 213 and abuts against the trigger assembly 400, and the second toggle portion 115 is disposed in another of the third mounting holes 213 and abuts against the trigger assembly 400.

[0058] When the pivot member 111 rotates to the first limit position in the positive direction relative to the support plate assembly 200, the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 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 pivot member 111 rotates to the second limit position in the reverse direction relative to the support plate assembly 200, the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 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.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a first groove 114a is provided on a surface 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 groove 114a, so that the first toggle portion 114 reliably pushes the trigger assembly 400. A second groove 115a is provided on a surface 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 groove 115a, so that the second toggle portion 115 reliably pushes the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the second groove 115a is provided corresponding to the first groove 114a, so that the first toggle portion 114 and the second toggle portion 115 abut against the trigger assembly 400 relatively, so that the trigger assembly 400 can be toggled better.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 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 and abuts against the first toggle part, and the second convex wall is located in the second groove and abuts against the second toggle part.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in order to make the first toggle part 114 better abut against the trigger assembly 400, in one embodiment, the first toggle part 114 is provided with a first protrusion 114b on one side facing the second toggle part 115, so that the first toggle part 114 better abuts against the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 114b is located in the first groove 114a.

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to make the second toggle part 115 better abut against the trigger assembly 400, in one embodiment, the second toggle part 115 is provided with a second protrusion 115b on one side facing the first toggle part 114, so that the second toggle part 115 better abuts against the trigger assembly 400. In this embodiment, the second protrusion 115b is located in the second groove 115a.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support plate assembly 200 includes a base plate 200a and a cover plate 200b, and the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b are detachably connected. The cover plate 200b is covered on the base plate 200a. The second curved surface 210 is formed on a side of the cover plate 200b adjacent to the key 100. The first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 212 are both provided in the cover plate 200b. The receiving hole 220 is provided in the base plate 200a, and the rear seat 300 is located in the receiving hole 220, so that the rear seat 300 is connected to the support plate assembly 200.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by a buckle 204, so that the base plate 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 plate 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 plate 200a, and the buckle 204 is buckled into the buckle 202, so that the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by the buckle 204.

[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 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 base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b. When the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b are connected by the buckle 204, the positioning boss 310 is clamped between the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b, so that the rear seat 300 is reliably connected between the base plate 200a and the cover plate 200b.

[0066] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the pivot member 111 is provided with a rotation groove 111a, and a rotation shaft 205 adapted to the rotation groove 111a is formed in the support plate assembly 200, so that the pivot member 111 is rotatably connected to the support plate assembly 200. In this embodiment, the rotation shaft is formed on a side of the cover plate 200b adjacent to the base plate 200a.

[0067] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in order to make the button 100 more stable during the switch rotation switching process, the button 100 is further provided with a first reinforcing rib 130, and the first reinforcing rib 130 is provided with a rotation groove 132. A convex platform 320 adapted to the rotation groove 132 is formed on one side of the rear seat 300 adjacent to the cover plate 200b, so that the button 100 is also rotationally connected to the rear seat 300, so that the button 100 rotates relative to the rear seat 300 and the cover plate 200b at the same time, thereby making the rotation of the button 100 more stable.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the retaining edge 113 is arranged around the pivot member 111. When the pivot member 111 rotates to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 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 pivot member 111 from rotating excessively relative to the support plate assembly 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 100 adjacent to the support plate assembly 200 is the first curved surface 110, and the side of the support plate assembly 200 adjacent to the button 100 is the second curved surface 210, no matter whether the pivot member 111 is rotated to the first extreme position or the second extreme position relative to the support plate assembly 200, the fitting method of the button 100 and the support plate assembly 200 is the fitting between curved surfaces, which greatly reduces the overall thickness of the switch structure 10.

[0069] It is understood that in other embodiments, the retaining edge 113 may be omitted. Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment, the key 100 is also provided with a second reinforcing rib 140, and the cover plate 200b is provided with a clearance groove 240 corresponding to the second reinforcing rib 140. When the key 100 rotates relative to the support plate assembly 200, the second reinforcing rib 140 moves in the clearance groove 240 to prevent the key 100 from interfering with the rotation of the cover plate 200b. The second reinforcing rib 140 is provided on the key 100 to enhance the strength of the key 100, which is conducive to improving the manufacturing precision of the key 100. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the second reinforcing rib 140 is perpendicular to the projection line and the normal line respectively.

[0070] To improve the structural strength of the cover plate 200b, Fig.14 As shown, in order to improve the structural strength of the cover plate 200b, in one embodiment, the second curved surface 210 is further provided with a reinforcing groove 214, and the reinforcing groove 214 extends to the air-avoiding groove 240, thereby improving the structural strength of the cover plate 200b.

[0071] like Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the second reinforcing ribs 140 is multiple, and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 140 are arranged side by side. The number of the air avoidance grooves 240 is multiple, and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 140 are located in the multiple air avoidance grooves 240 in a one-to-one correspondence. A plurality of second reinforcing ribs 140 are convexly provided on the key 100 to better improve the strength of the key 100. In this embodiment, one of the second reinforcing ribs 140 extends to the pivot 111, so that the pivot 111 and the second reinforcing rib 140 are integrally formed, making the structure of the key 100 more compact and simplifying the manufacturing process of the key 100. Accordingly, the air avoidance groove 240 corresponding to the second reinforcing rib 140 connected to the pivot 111 is connected to the first mounting hole 211.

[0072] like Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the pivot members 111 is two, and the two pivot members 111 are arranged side by side. The two pivot members 111 are respectively a first pivot member 1112 and a second pivot member 1113. The number of the first mounting holes 211 is two, and the two pivot members 111 are respectively penetrated in the corresponding first mounting holes 211. In this embodiment, the two second reinforcing ribs 140 extend to the corresponding one of the pivot members 111, so that the two second reinforcing ribs 140 are respectively formed integrally with the two pivot members 111.

[0073] like Fig.12 As shown, in order to prevent the key 100 from swinging in parallel to the projection line during the rotation of the cover plate 200b, a first wedge-shaped guide block 1114 is further provided on a side of the first pivot member 1112 that is away from the second pivot member 1113. Fig.10 A second wedge-shaped guide block 1115 is provided on a side of the second pivot member 1113 that is away from the first pivot member 1112. The first wedge-shaped guide block 1114 is located in the corresponding first mounting hole 211 and is slidably connected to the cover plate 200b, and the second wedge-shaped guide block 1115 is located in the corresponding second mounting hole 212 and is slidably connected to the cover plate 200b, so as to prevent the key 100 from swinging in a direction parallel to the projection line during the rotation relative to the cover plate 200b.
