During the installation process, the spring, retaining spring and button rubber cover need to be installed separately, which requires many components and the installation steps are cumbersome.

[0052] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides an elastic member, a button, and an electronic device, wherein the elastic member is used to cooperate with the button body, the button body has a pressing portion and a triggering portion relative to each other, and the elastic member includes an elastic portion and a fixed portion, the elastic portion and the fixed portion are connected to each other and arranged at a relative interval; the side of the elastic portion close to the fixed portion is used to abut the triggering portion, the fixed portion is used to connect with the button body, and at least part of the elastic portion is a deformable structure; when the button body is in a pressed state, the triggering portion abuts against the elastic portion; the elastic portion is in a deformed state and is used to provide a force to the triggering portion to move the triggering portion away from the elastic portion. By adopting the above structure, the elastic member can limit the movement of the button body and complete rebound after pressing the button body, and the structure is simple; in addition, during the installation of the elastic member, it is only necessary to connect the fixed portion to the button body and set the button body and the elastic portion accordingly, which is a simple installation process and can reduce assembly time.

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limitations on the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The implementation regulations of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0054] In the description of the Implementing Regulations of this application, it should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or an interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0055] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0056] First, as attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device 100, including a shell 110, a device body 120 and a button 200. The device body 120 and the button 200 are both arranged in the shell 110. The device body 120 is provided with a trigger member 122. By pressing the button 200, the button 200 contacts the trigger member 122 of the device body 120 to realize the corresponding function.

[0057] It is understandable that the electronic device 100 can be any device that requires a button 200 to implement a corresponding function, such as a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, a multi-function computer, a smart watch, a remote control, etc.

[0058] The embodiments of the present application are described using a smart watch as an example of an electronic device.

[0059] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure in one direction at point A; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure in another direction at point A in the middle.

[0060] Secondly, as attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a button 200, including a button body 210 and an elastic member 300. The button body 210 has a relative pressing portion 211 and a trigger portion 212. The user can move the button body 210 by pressing the pressing portion 211, and drive the trigger portion 212 to move. When the trigger portion 212 abuts against the trigger key of the device body 120, the corresponding function of the electronic device 100 can be realized.

[0061] It can be understood that the function corresponding to the button 200 of the electronic device 100 can be arbitrary. For example, the function corresponding to the button 200 can be to start an ECG test (electrocardiogram), to start a heart rate test, to start a blood pressure test, to change functions, to change the dial, etc.; the embodiment of the present application does not limit the function achieved by the abutment between the trigger part 212 and the trigger key of the device body 120, nor is it limited to the above examples.

[0062] It should be noted that at least part of the pressing portion 211 of the button 200 is located outside the housing 110, that is, the pressing portion 211 of the button 200 may be only partially located outside the housing 110, in which case the remaining pressing portion 211 and the trigger portion 212 are both located inside the housing 110; or the entire pressing portion 211 may be located outside the housing 110, in which case only the trigger portion 212 is located inside the housing 110. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the positional relationship between the pressing portion 211 and the housing 110, nor are they limited to the above examples.

[0063] It is understood that, to facilitate pressing, the pressing portion 211 may have a curved pressing surface so that the pressing surface can adapt to the shape of the end face of the finger; alternatively, the pressing surface may be made of a soft material, such as rubber, resin, etc., to improve the comfort of pressing the key body 210; alternatively, the pressing surface may be made of a soft material and its shape adapts to the shape of the end face of the finger. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the pressing portion 211, nor is it limited to the above examples.

[0064] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of the elastic member provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] Thirdly, as attached Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides an elastic member 300 for cooperating with the button body 210. The elastic member 300 includes an elastic portion 310 and a fixed portion 320. The elastic portion 310 and the fixed portion 320 are interconnected and arranged relatively spaced apart. A side of the elastic portion 310 close to the fixed portion 320 is used to abut against the triggering portion 212. The fixed portion 320 is used to connect with the button body 210. At least part of the elastic portion 310 is a deformable structure.

[0066] When the button body 210 is pressed, the trigger portion 212 abuts against the elastic portion 310. The elastic portion 310 is deformed and abuts against the trigger member 122 of the device body 120, achieving the corresponding function. When the elastic portion 310 is deformed, it can also apply a force to the trigger portion 212, with the direction of the force moving the trigger portion 212 away from the elastic portion 310. Afterwards, the trigger part 212 moves away from the elastic part 310, that is, the button body 210 moves in the direction away from the elastic member 300, and the elastic member 300 realizes the rebound of the button body 210; the fixing part 320 is connected to the button body 210, and is used to limit the movement of the button body 210; that is, by adopting the elastic member 300 of the above structure, the movement of the button body 210 can be limited, and the rebound is completed after the button body 210 is pressed, and the structure is simple; in addition, during the installation process of the elastic member 300, it is only necessary to connect the fixing part 320 to the button body 210, and set the trigger part 212 of the button body 210 corresponding to the elastic part 310 of the elastic member 300. The installation process is simple and the assembly time can be reduced.

[0067] As an optional implementation, the fixing portion 320 is connected between the pressing portion 211 and the triggering portion 212 .

[0068] Specifically, the button body 210 has a mounting groove on one side close to the trigger portion 212 . The mounting groove is located between the pressing portion 211 and the trigger portion 212 . The fixing portion 320 is disposed in the mounting groove to achieve position limiting of the button body 210 .

[0069] It should be noted that the fixing portion 320 may be only partially located in the installation groove, or may be completely located in the installation groove. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the extent to which the fixing portion 320 enters the installation groove, nor is it limited to the above example.

[0070] It can be understood that the fixing portion 320 is adapted to the shape of the installation groove so that the fixing portion 320 can be fixed in the installation groove to fix the elastic member 300 and the button body 210 to prevent the button body 210 from being separated from the shell 110 due to excessive rebound force of the elastic portion 310.

[0071] As an optional embodiment, a connecting portion 330 is further included, and two ends of the connecting portion 330 are respectively connected to the elastic portion 310 and the fixing portion 320.

[0072] Specifically, in some embodiments, the fixing portion 320 has a fixed end 321, and there is a distance between the connection position between the connecting portion 330 and the fixing portion 320 and the fixed end 321 to avoid the connecting portion 330 and the fixed end 321 being too close to affect the connection strength between the fixed end 321 and the button body 210.

[0073] In some other embodiments, the elastic portion 310 may also have an elastic end 311, which is a deformable structure. The elastic end 311 is used to abut against the triggering portion 212, and there is a distance between the position where the connecting portion 330 is connected to the elastic portion 310 and the elastic end 311 to prevent the connecting portion 330 from affecting the degree of deformation of the elastic end 311.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the fixing portion 320 may have a fixing end 321 , and the elastic portion 310 may also have an elastic end 311 , which will not be described in detail herein.

[0075] The embodiment of the present application is described by taking an example in which the fixing portion 320 has a fixing end 321 and the elastic portion 310 has an elastic end 311 .

[0076] It is understood that the elastic end 311 of the elastic portion 310 can be made of an elastic material. For example, the material of the elastic end 311 can be rubber or soft glue. In addition, the elastic end 311 can also be a metal sheet with certain resilience. For example, the elastic end 311 can be a locally deformable metal sheet, such as a stainless steel sheet. The present embodiment of the application does not limit the material of the elastic end 311, nor is it limited to the above example.

[0077] This application is described by taking the elastic end 311 as a metal sheet that can be partially deformed as an example.

[0078] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the structural strength of the elastic member 300 , the connecting portion 330 may be arranged perpendicular to the fixing portion 320 and the elastic portion 310 , respectively.

[0079] As an optional embodiment, the elastic part 310, the connecting part 330 and the fixed part 320 are an integrally formed structure, that is, the elastic part 310, the connecting part 330 and the fixed part 320 are all made of metal with a certain elasticity, which is convenient for processing. At the same time, the structural strength of the elastic part 300 is relatively high, which can improve the stability of pressing the button body 210.

[0080] As an optional implementation, the elastic end 311 is located at the center of the elastic portion 310 and corresponds to the fixed end 321 of the fixed portion 320 .

[0081] Specifically, the extension direction of the fixed portion 320 is parallel to the extension direction of the elastic portion 310, and the elastic end 311 and the fixed end 321 are both located in the moving direction of the button body 210. Therefore, the elastic member 300 can fix the button body 210 through the elastic end 311 while abutting against the trigger portion 212 of the button body 210 through the elastic end 311 and deforming.

[0082] It is understood that the location of the elastic end 311 at the center of the elastic portion 310 can enhance the structural strength of the elastic member 300. To ensure that the elastic end 311 can deform, one side of the elastic end 311 is connected to the elastic portion 310, while the remaining sides are hollowed out. In other words, a notch can be provided in the elastic portion 310, while ensuring that at least a portion of the elastic end 311 is connected to the elastic portion 310. This ensures that the elastic end 311 is located at the center of the elastic portion 310 while maintaining its deformability.

[0083] Furthermore, the fixed end 321 includes two raised areas and a recessed area between the two raised areas. The two raised areas and the recessed area are both located on the side of the fixed end 321 away from the connecting portion 330 and extend in a direction away from the connecting portion 330 to clamp the button body 210.

[0084] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the connection between the fixed end 321 and the key body 210 , the edges of the two raised areas and the recessed area may be arc-shaped with a smooth transition.

[0085] It should be noted that, in order to improve the tightness of the connection between the fixed end 321 and the button body 210 , the shape of the mounting groove of the button body 210 for mounting the fixed end 321 is adapted to the shape of the fixed end 321 .

[0086] As an optional embodiment, an auxiliary connecting portion 340 is further included, which is connected to the elastic portion 310 . The auxiliary connecting portion 340 and the connecting portion 330 are located on the same side of the elastic portion 310 , and there is a distance between the auxiliary connecting portion 340 and the elastic end 311 .

[0087] Specifically, the auxiliary connection portion 340 and the connection portion 330 are located on the same side of the elastic portion 310, which can improve the structural strength of the connection portion 330 and the auxiliary connection portion 340. The auxiliary connection portion 340 can be fixed to the device body 120, and the elastic end 311 can be aligned with the trigger member 122 of the device body 120. After deformation, the elastic end 311 can abut the trigger member 122 of the device body 120 and trigger the corresponding function.

[0088] Furthermore, the extension direction of the auxiliary connection portion 340 may be the same as the extension direction of the connection portion 330 , which may improve the structural strength of the connection portion 330 and the auxiliary connection portion 340 .

[0089] It can be understood that the auxiliary connection part 340 can be fixed on the device body 120. The auxiliary connection part 340 can be fixed by threaded connection, bonding, or welding. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the fixing method of the auxiliary connection part 340 and the device body 120, nor is it limited to the above examples.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the auxiliary connecting part 340 has a connecting hole 341, and the center line of the connecting hole 341 is perpendicular to the direction from the fixing part 320 to the elastic part 310, which can improve the strength of the connection between the auxiliary connecting part 340 and the equipment body 120, and at the same time enhance the structural strength of the elastic part 300.

[0091] Specifically, a fixing column 121 is provided at a position of the device body 120 corresponding to the auxiliary connection part 340 , and the auxiliary connection part 340 is sleeved on the corresponding fixing column 121 through the connection hole 341 to achieve fixation of the auxiliary connection part 340 and the device body 120 .

[0092] As an optional embodiment, the number of the auxiliary connection parts 340 is at least two, and the at least two auxiliary connection parts 340 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the elastic part 310 .

[0093] Specifically, the auxiliary connection parts 340 can be evenly distributed on opposite sides of the elastic part 310. At this time, the connection part 330 can be located between adjacent auxiliary connection parts 340, which can improve the structural strength of the connection part 330 and the auxiliary connection part 340.

[0094] It is understood that the number of auxiliary connection parts 340 can be two, three, or four, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of auxiliary connection parts 340, nor is it limited to the above example. The embodiment of the present application uses the example of two auxiliary connection parts 340 for description.

[0095] As an optional embodiment, the extension direction of the auxiliary connection part 340 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the elastic part 310, which can enhance the connection strength between the auxiliary connection part 340 and the elastic part 310, and thereby improve the structural strength of the elastic part 300; the auxiliary connection part 340 is provided with adhesive glue on the side close to the elastic part 310, that is, the auxiliary connection part 340 is sleeved on the fixed column 121 of the device body 120 through the connection hole 341, and the connection tightness between the auxiliary connection part 340 and the device body 120 is enhanced by the adhesive glue, which can improve the connection tightness between the elastic part 300 and the device body 120, and thereby improve the stability of the elastic part 300.

[0096] As an optional embodiment, the elastic part 310, the connecting part 330, the auxiliary connecting part 340 and the fixed part 320 can be an integrally molded structure, that is, the elastic part 310, the connecting part 330, the auxiliary connecting part 340 and the fixed part 320 are all made of metal with a certain elasticity, which is convenient for processing. At the same time, the structural strength of the elastic part 300 is relatively high, which can improve the stability of pressing the button body 210.

[0097] The elastic member 300 provided in the present application is provided with an elastic portion 310 and a fixed portion 320 that are interconnected and relatively spaced apart. The fixed portion 320 is used to be connected to the key body 210 to limit the movement of the key body 210; the side of the elastic portion 310 close to the fixed portion 320 is used to abut against the trigger portion 212. When the key body 210 is in a pressed state, the elastic portion 310 can be tightly abutted against the trigger portion 212. At this time, the elastic portion 310 is in a deformed state and provides a force to the trigger portion 212 to make the trigger portion 212 move away from the elastic portion 310, thereby achieving rebound of the key body 210, that is, the elastic member 300 can limit the movement of the key body 210 and complete rebound after the key body 210 is pressed, and the structure is simple; in addition, during the installation process of the elastic member 300, it is only necessary to place the fixed portion 320 in the installation groove of the key body 210 and set the key body 210 corresponding to the elastic end 311. The installation process is simple and the assembly time can be reduced.
