[0053] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", and "set on..." should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0054] Please also read Figures 1 to 4The electronic device 100 in one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 20 and a display screen 30. The main body 20 includes a housing 40 and a button 50 installed on the housing 40. The housing 40 is provided with a main board 42, a battery 44 and other electronic components. The display screen 30 is arranged on the front of the housing 40. The display screen 30, the button 50 and the battery 44 and other electronic components are all electrically connected to the main board 42. The battery 44 provides power for the main board 42, the display screen 30 and the button 50 and other electronic components. The housing 40 is provided with a mounting slot 45 and an operating slot 47 that are interconnected. The button 50 includes a pressure sensing module 60, a waterproof mechanism 70, a cable management component 80 and a pressing component 90. The pressure sensing module 60 is arranged in the mounting slot 45, the pressing component 90 is arranged in the operating slot 47, and the pressing component 90 is connected to the pressure sensing module 60. The waterproof mechanism 70 includes a waterproof frame 72 and a first waterproof member 74. The waterproof frame 72 includes a support portion 73 and a positioning portion 75. The support portion 73 is accommodated in the mounting groove 45. Preferably, the support portion 73 is accommodated in the opening of the mounting groove 45.

The two opposite ends of the positioning portion 75 are respectively provided with avoidance grooves 750. The pressure sensing module 60 includes a pressure sensing member 640, an elastic connecting piece 644, a pressing piece 646 and a flexible circuit board 65. The pressure sensing member 640 is connected to the connecting piece 644. The connecting piece 644 is positioned at the positioning portion 75, and the opposite ends of the connecting piece 644 are respectively opposite to the two avoidance grooves 750. The pressing piece 646 is connected to the connecting piece 644. The pressing piece 646 can drive the end of the connecting piece 644 to elastically deform toward the corresponding avoidance groove 750. The pressure sensing element 640 is used to sense the elastic deformation of the connecting piece 644. The pressure sensing element 640 is arranged on the flexible circuit board 65. The flexible circuit board 65 is provided with an end of the pressure sensing element 640 connected to the connecting piece 644, and the end of the flexible circuit board 65 away from the pressure sensing element 640 is electrically connected to the main board 42.

Specifically, the two connecting parts 76 are inserted into the mounting groove 45 together, so that the first positioning rib 763 slides against the first inner side surface 451, and the second positioning rib 765 and the third positioning rib 754 slide against the second inner side surface 452, until the two clamping blocks 761 are respectively clamped in the two clamping grooves 4542, and the connecting glue 78 is glued to the bottom surface 456 of the operating groove 47. The pressing assembly 90 is inserted into the operation groove 47, specifically, the two foolproof parts 926 are inserted into the operation groove 47, and the two foolproof parts 926 are respectively inserted into the two avoidance grooves 750 of the waterproof frame 72, and the second guide surface 945 is slidably pressed against the inner circumference of the operation groove 47, and the sealing rib 944 is sealed against the inner circumference of the operation groove 47 until the outer side surface 921 of the button body 92 is roughly coplanar with the side surface 405 of the shell 40; at this time, the first section 651 and the bent section 655 of the flexible circuit board 65 are arranged in the installation groove 45, specifically, the bent section 655 of the flexible circuit board 65 is arranged in the installation groove 45. The curved section 655 is accommodated in the second avoidance groove 4562, the first avoidance groove 4522 and the avoidance opening 4526, and the curved section 655 of the flexible circuit board 65 is located between the two third positioning ribs 754 and adhered to the positioning portion 75 through the back adhesive, and the second section 653 is located outside the mounting groove 45; the second section 653 of the flexible circuit board 65 is passed through the through hole 48, the second section 653 and the curved section 655 of the flexible circuit board 65 are connected to the shell 40 through pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the connector 656 of the flexible circuit board 65 is plugged into the connector of the main board 42.

[0080] The first positioning rib 763, the second positioning rib 765 and the third positioning rib 754 are staggered with a reasonable gap to ensure that when the size of the shell 40 fluctuates, the amount of extrusion between the first positioning rib 763, the second positioning rib 765 and the third positioning rib 754 and the inner side surface of the installation groove 45 will not make the waterproof frame 72 unable to be assembled to the shell 40. In addition, the two first positioning ribs 763 respectively conflict with the first inner side surface 451, and the second positioning rib 765 and the third positioning rib 754 respectively conflict with the second inner side surface 452, and the first positioning rib 763, the second positioning rib 765 and the third positioning rib 754 are staggered at a reasonable distance from each other, so that the first positioning rib 763 and the second positioning rib 765 of the waterproof frame 72 can use their own deformation after being subjected to the conflicting force to push the third positioning rib to the inner side surface of the mounting groove 45, thereby ensuring that there is a reasonable deformation space between the elastic connecting piece 644 of the pressure sensing module 60 and the inner side surface of the mounting groove 45; at the same time, a reasonable locking amount is set between the clamping block 761 and the clamping groove 4542 to prevent the waterproof frame 72 from falling off during falling and normal use, resulting in poor waterproofing. The backing glue 96 is glued between the key body 92 and the pressing plate 646, and the sealing rib 944 is sealed against the inner circumference of the operating groove 47 to prevent the key body 92 from falling out; two anti-mistake parts 926 are provided on the key body 92 to avoid the front and back sides being installed upside down when assembling the pressing component 90.
[0081] When using the button 50 of the electronic device 100, the user presses the outer side surface 921 of the button body 92, and the button body 92 transmits the pressure to the pressing piece 646. The pressing piece 646 squeezes the connecting piece 644 to deform. The pressure sensing element 640 on the flexible circuit board 65 generates an electrical signal after sensing the deformation. The flexible circuit board 65 is connected to the main board 42 through the connector 656, and transmits the electrical signal to the processor on the main board 42, thereby realizing the recognition and grading of the user's pressing force, which corresponds to different application scenarios and camera functions.
[0082] The pressure sensing module 60 of the button 50 of the present application is directly positioned on the waterproof frame 72, and there is no need to use another mechanism to position the pressure sensing module 60 on the housing 40. Therefore, the button 50 saves components, reduces material costs, and has a simple structure, reducing manufacturing costs. Secondly, a reasonable interference amount is set between the sealing ring 94 and the inner circumference of the operating groove 47 to prevent dust or foreign matter from entering the installation groove 45 from the operating groove 47 and affecting the deformation and function of the connecting piece 644; and a dust collecting groove 947 is set on the outer circumference of the sealing ring 94, and the dust collecting groove 947 is used to accommodate foreign matter entering the gap between the button body 92 and the operating groove 47 from the outside. In addition, it is only necessary to directly insert the waterproof frame 72 into the installation groove 45, and the first positioning rib, the second positioning rib and the third positioning rib are respectively pressed against the inner circumference of the installation groove 45, so that the waterproof frame 72 can be firmly positioned on the housing 40; the pressing component 90 is directly inserted into the operating groove 47 and combined with the pressure sensing module 60, and the assembly is simple and reliable, and the cost is low.
[0083] The above is an implementation of the embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the embodiment of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
