[0029] The elastic end 10 includes a first base 11, a wool button 16 is arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the first base 11, a protective cap 13 and a conductive sheet 15 are arranged in sequence on the end of the wool button 16 close to the docking side, the protective cap 13 includes a docking portion 131 and a step portion 132, and a through hole 151 adapted to the docking portion 131 is opened on the conductive sheet 15; the elastic end 10 also includes a first wire 12 and a first plug pin 17, and the first plug pin 17 is in contact with the end of the wool button 16 away from the step portion 132;

[0030] The fur button 16 is an elastic body with a certain outer size and manufactured according to a certain process, one end of which contacts the end surface of the conductive sheet 15 in state 1 (i.e. the elastic end 10 and the fixed end 20 are not yet connected), and the other end contacts the end surface of the first pin 17;

[0031] The inner cavity of the first base 11 is provided with corresponding step holes for installing the conductive sheet 15, the protective cap 13, the wool button 16, and the first pin 17;

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The figure shows a three-dimensional structure diagram of a protective cap 13 and a conductive sheet 15 in a button connector with a switch function in an embodiment;

[0033] The protective cap 13 is a rotating body with steps, wherein the step rotating body is the step portion 132, and the head end rotating body is the docking portion 131, which is installed in the inner cavity of the first base 11 and is respectively matched with the step hole gap in the inner cavity of the first base 11; the conductive sheet 15 is a conductive thin sheet, and a through hole 151 and a countersunk hole 152 are opened on the surface, wherein the countersunk hole 152 is riveted and fixed to the first base 11 by rivets, and the aperture of the through hole 151 is larger than the diameter of the docking portion 131 and smaller than the diameter of the step portion 132, and the through hole 151 and the docking portion 131 are located on the same axis.

[0037] The present invention provides a button connector with a switch function. When the elastic end 10 and the fixed end 20 are not connected, Figure 5 In the first state, under the elastic force of the hair button 16, the step portion 132 in the protective cap 13 contacts the conductive sheet 15, and the signal passes through the first wire 12, the first pin 17, the hair button 16, and the conductive sheet 15 in sequence, so as to achieve the short-circuit effect of the signal, thereby achieving the function of signal connection when the elastic end 10 and the fixed end 20 are not connected (i.e., in the initial state); when the elastic end 10 and the fixed end 20 are connected, at this time, as shown in FIG.
