[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Without loss of generality, the following text will be combined with the accompanying drawings and use the electronic device shown in the drawings as the description subject to explain in detail the specific settings of the key-related structures of the electronic device. The settings of the key-related structures enrich the functions that can be achieved by operating the keys of the electronic device.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a voice recorder in a first working position in an embodiment provided in the present application, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a voice recorder in a second working position in an embodiment provided in the present application, and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a voice recorder in a third working position in an embodiment provided in the present application.

[0033] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a housing 10 , a first button 21 , a switch 30 , a detection element 40 and a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0034] The first button 21 is slidably connected to the housing 10 to switch between at least two working positions. The detection element 40 is electrically connected to the controller. The detection element 40 is used to feed back the position signal of the first button 21 to the controller, and the controller is used to execute a first function matching the position signal.

[0035] Part of the first button 21 is exposed from the shell 10, that is, part of the first button 21 is visible to the user, the switch 30 and the controller are both installed inside the shell 10, the switch 30 is electrically connected to the controller, and is configured so that when the first button 21 is pressed, the switch 30 can be triggered to send a signal to the controller to execute the second function.

[0036] The moving direction of the first button 21 when pressed is different from the sliding direction of the first button 21 relative to the housing 10. The first button 21 can be pressed, that is, under the action of external force, the first button 21 can move relatively closer to or away from the inner side of the housing 10.

[0037] In the orientation shown in the figure, the left side is the outer side of the shell 10, and the right side is the inner side of the shell 10. The movement direction of the first button 21 when pressed is the left-right direction in the figure, and the sliding direction of the first button 21 is the up-down direction in the figure.

[0038] In the application, the first function may include multiple functions. Specifically, when the first button 21 is in the same working position, different presses of the first button 21 may correspond to different functions, or presses of the first button 21 for different durations may correspond to different functions, or different functions may be achieved by combining the number of presses of the first button 21 with the duration of the presses.

[0039] For example, when the first button 21 is in a certain working position, pressing the first button 21 for the first time can realize the function of starting recording, and pressing the first button 21 for the second time can realize the function of stopping recording. Alternatively, pressing the first button 21 for the first time can realize the function of increasing the volume, and pressing the first button 21 for the second time can realize the function of decreasing the volume.

[0040] With the above solution, the first button 21 can be pressed and is slidably connected to the housing 10 to have at least two working positions. When the first button 21 changes its working position by sliding, the detection element 40 can detect the current working position of the first button 21 and feed back the corresponding position signal to the controller. The controller can execute the first function in response to the position signal; when the first button 21 is pressed, it can trigger the switch 30 to send a signal to the controller to execute the second function. In this way, through different operations on the first button 21, more functions can be realized, reducing the frequency of realizing functions based on software page operations, and the operation is convenient and simple, so that users have a better use experience.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the electronic device includes a flexible circuit board 90, and the flexible circuit board 90 is installed inside the housing 10. Both the controller and the switch 30 can be installed on the flexible circuit board 90, and the electrical connection is achieved through the circuit on the flexible circuit board 90.

[0042] In actual use, different function combinations can be achieved by combining the sliding operation of the first button 21 and the pressing operation of the first button 21 .

[0043] In some embodiments, at each working position, the first button 21 can be pressed to enable the controller to execute the first function. When the first button 21 is in different working positions, the first function implemented by pressing the first button 21 can be the same or different.

[0044] For example, in any working position, pressing the first button 21 corresponds to the function of increasing or decreasing the volume.

[0045] For another example, in one working position, pressing the first button 21 corresponds to a function of increasing or decreasing the volume, and in another working position, pressing the first button 21 corresponds to a function of starting or pausing recording.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first button 21 may be pressed only in a certain working position to cause the controller to respond to the signal sent by the switch 30 and execute the first function. In other working positions, the controller only receives the signal fed back by the switch 30 without performing any operation.

[0047] For example, in one working position, pressing the first button 21 corresponds to a function of starting or pausing recording, while in other working positions, pressing the first button 21 has no corresponding function executed.

[0048] In actual use, the first function and the second function may be associated, for example, the first function and the second function may be functional operations corresponding to different steps when a certain application is used. The first function and the second function may also be unassociated.

[0049] In this embodiment, the electronic device also includes a second button 22, which is installed inside the shell 10. The second button 22 is located between the first button 21 and the switch 30. The first button 21 triggers the switch 30 by pressing the second button 22. A stop structure is provided between the first button 21 and the second button 22, and the stop structure is used to limit the relative position of the first button 21 and the second button 22 in different working positions.

[0050] After the above arrangement, when the first button 21 is pressed, the first button 21 moves toward the inside of the housing 10, and in the orientation shown in the figure, when the first button 21 is pressed, the first button 21 moves to the right side and presses the second button 22, thereby triggering the switch 30. The stop structure arranged between the first button 21 and the second button 22 can limit the sliding position of the first button 21, and the arrangement of the second button 22 facilitates the arrangement of the stop structure, and can also ensure the triggering operation of the switch 30 when the first button 21 is pressed.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the stop structure includes a protrusion 221 and a recess 211, and at least one of the protrusion 221 and the recess 211 is provided with multiple ones along the sliding direction of the first button 21; one of the protrusion 221 and the recess 211 is provided on the first button 21, and the other is provided on the second button 22; the first button 21 slides to a working position, and at least part of the protrusion 221 corresponding to the working position is embedded in the recess 211 corresponding to the working position.

[0052] As mentioned above, when the first button 21 slides under the action of external force, the mating convex portion 221 and the concave portion 211 may be disengaged under the action of external force. When the first button 21 slides to a working position, the convex portion 221 and the concave portion 211 corresponding to the working position cooperate again to limit the relative position of the first button 21 and the second button 22.

[0053] In the illustrated embodiment, the concave portion 211 is disposed on the first button 21 , the convex portion 221 is disposed on the second button 22 , and a plurality of concave portions 211 are disposed along the sliding direction of the first button 21 .

[0054] It can be understood that the concave portion 211 is arranged on a side of the first button 21 facing the inner side of the housing 10 , that is, on a side of the first button 21 facing the second button 22 , and the convex portion 221 is arranged on a side of the second button 22 facing the first button 21 .

[0055] In a specific implementation, the first button 21 may be provided with a protrusion extending toward the second button 22 , so that the concave portion 211 is disposed on the protrusion to facilitate cooperation with the convex portion 221 of the second button 22 .

[0056] In other embodiments, the concave portion 211 may be disposed on the second button 22 , the convex portion 221 may be disposed on the first button 21 , and a plurality of convex portions 221 may be disposed along the sliding direction of the first button 21 .

[0057] In other embodiments, a plurality of convex portions 221 or concave portions 211 provided on the second button 22 may be provided along the sliding direction of the first button 21 .

[0058] The specific location and quantity of the concave portion 211 and the convex portion 221 may be determined based on actual conditions.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the first button 21 has three working positions relative to the housing 10. Accordingly, the first button 21 is provided with three recesses 211. At the three working positions, the three recesses 211 can respectively cooperate with the protrusions 221 to limit the relative positions of the first button 21 and the second button 22 at different working positions.

[0060] To simplify the structure, in actual configuration, only one of the concave portion 211 and the convex portion 221 needs to be provided with a number matching the number of working positions.

[0061] In a specific implementation, the surfaces where the concave portion 211 and the convex portion 221 cooperate with each other can be arc surfaces. In this way, when an external force pushes the first button 21 to slide, the concave portion 211 of the first button 21 can be easily separated from the convex portion 221 that cooperates with it. After the first button 21 slides to the next working position, the next concave portion 211 cooperates with the convex portion 221. Without the action of external force, the concave-convex engagement of the concave portion 211 and the convex portion 221 is not easy to be separated, which can ensure that the first button 21 is in the current working position.

[0062] In this embodiment, the electronic device also includes a support member 50, which is fixed inside the shell 10. An elastic member 60 is provided between the second button 22 and the support member 50. When the second button 22 is pressed, the elastic member 60 can accumulate elastic deformation energy for driving the second button 22 away from the switch 30.

[0063] In this way, after the external pressing force acting on the first button 21 disappears, under the action of the elastic deformation energy of the elastic member 60, the second button 22 can move away from the switch 30 and drive the first button 21 to move away from the inner side of the housing 10, so that the first button 21 and the second button 22 are reset.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the support member 50 can be installed on a side of the flexible circuit board 90 facing the first button 21, and the elastic member 60 is arranged on a side of the second button 22 away from the first button 21. In this way, the elastic member 60 and the support member 50 can be prevented from interfering with the sliding of the first button 21, and the assembly and cooperation of the first button 21 and the housing 10 are facilitated.

[0065] The switch 30 can be installed on the side of the flexible circuit board 90 facing the second button 22 to ensure that the switch 30 can be triggered when the second button 22 is pressed. The support member 50 can be set as a ring structure, and the through hole in the middle is used as a space to avoid the switch 30. The elastic member 60 can be set on the periphery of the switch 30, and the elastic member 60 can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the switch 30 to stably support the second button 22 and ensure the reliability and smoothness of the action of the second button 22.

[0066] In the illustrated example, a limiting groove may be provided on the side of the second button 22 facing the support member 50 to limit the position of the elastic member 60. In other embodiments, a limiting convex portion may be provided on the support member 50 to limit the position of the elastic member 60, or both a limiting groove and a limiting convex portion may be provided on the second button 22 to limit the position of the elastic member 60.

[0067] Exemplarily, the elastic member 60 can be a spring.

[0068] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a first housing 11, and the first button 21 can slide along the outer side of the first housing 11, where the outer side refers to the side of the first housing 11 facing outward. The first housing 11 has a sound receiving hole 111, and the first button 21 has a through hole 2121. The first button 21 is in one working position, and the sound receiving hole 111 is connected to the through hole 2121. The first button 21 is in another working position, and the sound receiving hole 111 is staggered with the through hole 2121, and the first button 21 covers the sound receiving hole 111, and the first housing 11 blocks the through hole 2121.

[0069] The electronic device includes a microphone 80, and the sound receiving hole 111 of the first shell 11 corresponds to the position of the microphone 80. The microphone 80 can be electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 90. Specifically, the microphone 80 can be installed on the side of the flexible circuit board 90 facing away from the first button 21. At this time, a perforation can be opened on the flexible circuit board 90 corresponding to the position of the sound receiving hole 111 to ensure the sound receiving function of the microphone 80.

[0070] After the above settings, when the microphone 80 needs to be used, the first button 21 can be slid to the working position where its through hole 2121 is connected to the sound receiving hole 111, so that the electronic device can receive sound normally; when the microphone 80 is not needed, the first button 21 can be slid to the position where its through hole 2121 is staggered from the sound receiving hole 111, so that the first button 21 can block the sound receiving hole 111, and the first shell 11 blocks the through hole 2121. In this way, external impurities such as dust can be prevented from entering the sound receiving hole 111 and affecting the normal operation of the microphone 80.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the shell 10 also includes a second shell portion 12, which is located outside the first shell portion 11, and a slide groove 101 is formed between the first shell portion 11 and the second shell portion 12, and the first button 21 includes a wing portion 212 that slidably cooperates with the slide groove 101.

[0072] The first shell 11 has an opening for partially exposing the first button 21 , and the size of the opening should not affect the sliding of the first button 21 .

[0073] As shown in the figure, part of the structure of the first button 21 extends out of the housing 10 from the opening of the first shell 11 , and the wing 212 of the first button 21 can be slidably inserted into the slide groove 101 formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 .

[0074] The thickness of the wing portion 212 of the first button 21 can be set to be relatively thin, so as to facilitate the sliding fit between the first button 21 and the housing 10 .

[0075] Exemplarily, a through hole 2121 for cooperating with the sound receiving hole 111 may be provided on the wing portion 212 .

[0076] In the illustrated example, the first button 21 has two wings 212 in the up and down directions, and is provided with two through holes 2121, and the flexible circuit board 90 in the housing 10 is electrically connected to two microphones 80. In other embodiments, the number and location of the microphones 80 and the corresponding number and location of the sound receiving holes 111 and through holes 2121 can be set according to actual application needs, and are not limited here.

[0077] In a specific implementation, a sealing ring 70 is provided between the first shell 11 and the first button 21. The sealing ring 70 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the first shell 11, and the sealing ring 70 corresponds to the position of the sound receiving hole 111. In this way, the sound receiving hole 111 can be sealed to prevent foreign matter from entering the sound receiving hole 111 and affecting the sound receiving effect.

[0078] After the first button 21 is slidably matched with the housing 10 , the first button 21 can press the sealing ring 70 onto the first housing portion 11 to ensure the sealing between the first button 21 and the first housing portion 11 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the detection element 40 includes a magnetic member 41 and a Hall sensor 42. The Hall sensor 42 is electrically connected to the controller. The magnetic member 41 is provided on the first button 21, and the Hall sensor 42 is fixed in the housing 10. When the first button 21 slides relative to the housing 10, the magnetic member 41 slides accordingly. The Hall sensor 42 can determine the working position of the first button 21 by detecting the magnetic field strength generated by the magnetic member 41, and feed back the corresponding position signal to the controller.

[0080] Exemplarily, the magnetic member 41 is a magnet, which is easy to obtain and has low cost.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the Hall sensor 42 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 90 , and is specifically disposed on a side of the flexible circuit board 90 facing the first button 21 , so as to improve the detection accuracy.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the detection element 40 may be provided with two Hall sensors 42 , and the position of the first button 21 may be determined by sensing the magnetic field strength by the two Hall sensors 42 , which has higher accuracy and can reduce the probability of false triggering of the function.

[0083] In actual applications, the first function and the second function may be associated with the usage status of the microphone 80 .

[0084] In some embodiments, when the first button 21 is in a working position where the through hole 2121 is connected to the sound receiving hole 111, the first function that can be executed by the controller based on the position signal of the first button 21 fed back by the detection element 40 can be to open the recording interface. In this working position, after pressing the first button 21, the second function executed by the controller can be at least one of starting recording and pausing recording.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the first button 21 is in a working position where the through hole 2121 is staggered from the sound receiving hole 111, the first function that can be executed by the controller based on the position signal of the first button 21 fed back by the detection element 40 includes closing the recording interface or outputting text. In this working position, after pressing the first button 21, the second function executed by the controller can be generating text.

[0086] The generated text here can be a text that is directly converted from the audio content of the recording, or a translated text generated by translating the audio of one language of the recording into the audio of another language, or a minutes text generated by summarizing the audio content of the recording.

[0087] The electronic device may be a voice recorder or other electronic products. A specific application scenario is described below using the electronic device as a voice recorder in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 3 .

[0088] In the illustrated example, the voice recorder has three working positions, and its first button 21 can achieve three-stage sliding.

[0089] As shown in FIG1 , the first button 21 of the voice recorder is in the first working position. In this working position, the first button 21 is located at the lower side relative to the housing 10. The first concave portion 211 from top to bottom on the first button 21 cooperates with the convex portion 221 of the second button 22. The through hole 2121 of the first button 21 is located below the sound receiving hole 111 and staggered with the sound receiving hole 111. The sound receiving hole 111 is covered and the through hole 2121 is blocked. The voice recorder has an integrated design in appearance and there is no visible hole structure. When the detection element 40 detects that the first button 21 is in the working position shown in FIG1 , the position signal can be fed back to the controller, and the controller can execute the function of closing the recording interface according to the position signal, that is, in the working position shown in FIG1 , the voice recorder is in a non-recording state.

[0090] Slide the first button 21 of the voice recorder upward, and the first button 21 can be in the second working position shown in FIG. 2. In this working position, the second concave portion 211 from top to bottom on the first button 21 cooperates with the convex portion 221 of the second button 22, and the through hole 2121 of the first button 21 faces the sound receiving hole 111, and the through hole 2121 is connected to the sound receiving hole 111. When the detection element 40 detects that the first button 21 is in the working position shown in FIG. 2, the position signal can be fed back to the controller, and the controller can execute the function of opening the recording interface according to the position signal, that is, in the state shown in FIG. 2, the voice recorder is in a recording state.

[0091] In the working position shown in Figure 2, by pressing the first button 21, the switch 30 can be triggered through the second button 22, so that the switch 30 sends a signal to the controller to start recording; by pressing the first button 21 again, the switch 30 can be triggered again through the second button 22, so that the switch 30 sends a signal to the controller to pause recording.

[0092] After the recording is finished, the first button 21 of the recording pen can continue to slide upward, and the first button 21 can be in the third working position shown in Figure 3. In this working position, the third concave portion 211 from top to bottom on the first button 21 cooperates with the convex portion 221 of the second button 22, and the through hole 2121 of the first button 21 is located above the sound receiving hole 111 and staggered with the sound receiving hole 111. The sound receiving hole 111 is covered and the through hole 2121 is blocked. The recording pen has an integrated design in appearance, and there is no visible hole structure. When the detection element 40 detects that the first button 21 is in the working position shown in Figure 3, the position signal can be fed back to the controller, and the controller can execute at least one function of closing the recording interface and outputting text according to the position signal.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the working position shown in FIG3 , the controller can be configured to close the recording interface and output a function of directly converting the audio into text according to the position signal. In other embodiments, in the working position shown in FIG3 , the controller can be configured to execute the function of translating text or generating a minutes text by pressing the first button 21 .

[0094] In other embodiments, the sliding and pressing operations of the first button 21 can also cooperate to realize other functions, such as starting and closing the camera page, starting or pausing the camera recording, etc.
