Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, and particularly to a touch and press component and a wearable electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of technology, more and more electronic devices have begun to integrate the function of detecting human health, including testing health data such as heart rate, body fat percentage, and skeletal muscle. To meet the functional requirements, generally, buttons are provided on the electronic device to achieve switch control or signal transmission. Among the existing buttons, some are push-button switches, and relevant control functions are achieved through the movement of the buttons. Some use touch buttons, and the transmission of electrical signals is achieved through touch. When the volume of the electronic device is small, such as various wearable watch-type electronic devices, its overall volume is small, resulting in limited installation space for the buttons. Therefore, in some products, there appear touch-and-press dual-purpose buttons, that is, the same button realizes both touch and press functions.

[0003] In the related art, the main structure of the touch-and-press dual-purpose button includes a button, a switch, and a conductive elastic sheet. The fixed part of the conductive elastic sheet is used for electrically connecting with the circuit board, and the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet is located between the button and the switch. In the natural state, the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet elastically abuts against the end of the button. At this time, after touching the button, a touch signal transmission path of the button, the conductive elastic sheet, and the circuit board is formed; when pressing the button, the button pushes the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet to further elastically deform, and the further deformed elastic part is used to contact and trigger the switch to achieve the pressing function. In this technical solution, whether in the touch usage scenario or in the press usage scenario, the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet is in a compressed and deformed state. Especially in the press usage scenario, the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet will generate a larger deformation amount relative to the fixed part. High-frequency pressing operations of the button will cause fatigue accumulation of the conductive elastic sheet, affecting the working life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a touch and press component and a wearable electronic device to solve the technical problem that in the related art, when the touch-and-press dual-purpose button is used, the elastic part of the conductive elastic sheet is in a compressed and deformed state, resulting in fatigue accumulation of the conductive elastic sheet and affecting the working life.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a touch and press component, which includes:

[0006] An insulating member, on which a first shaft hole is opened and penetrates from the first side to the second side;

[0007] A conductive sheet, fixed on the second side of the insulating member, and a second shaft hole is opened on the conductive sheet opposite to the first shaft hole;

[0008] A key, comprising a key shaft penetrating the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole, the key being movable along the axial direction of the first shaft hole, the key shaft comprising a first shaft section located on a side of the conductive sheet away from the insulating member, the first shaft section forming a first abutting surface toward a side of the conductive sheet;

[0009] A reset member, configured so that the first abutting surface always has a tendency to move toward the conductive sheet along the axial direction of the first axial hole;

[0010] The auxiliary conductive structure is used for electrically connecting the key to the conductive sheet through the auxiliary conductive structure when the first abutting surface is out of contact with the conductive sheet.

[0011] The second aspect of the present application provides a wearable electronic device, which includes the touch and pressure component provided by the first aspect of the present application.

[0012] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: in the natural state and the touch state, the first abutting surface of the key and the conductive sheet remain in the abutting state, and the conductive sheet is clamped between the first shaft segment and the insulating member, and the abutting force is provided by the reset member, and the conductive sheet itself does not need to be elastically deformed to provide the abutting force. In the pressed state, the movement of the key will not cause the deformation of the conductive sheet, but the first abutting surface of the key and the conductive sheet will be out of contact. Therefore, whether in the touch use scenario or the press use scenario, the conductive sheet will not move or deform in structure, and will not cause fatigue accumulation of the conductive sheet, thereby improving the service life.

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The main structure of the touch and press component provided by the embodiments of the present application includes an insulating member 110, a conductive sheet 120, a key 130, a reset member 140, and an auxiliary conductive structure 150. As the name implies, this touch and press component is a dual-purpose key that can achieve touch and press functions, and it can be used as a touch and press component for various electronic devices. The types of electronic devices include but are not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, scanning pens, digital cameras, smart watches, etc. This specification takes this touch and press component as an example applied to Figure 1 , Figures 4 - 5An example of a smartwatch-type wearable electronic device will be used for exemplary illustration.

[0033] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 6 - 13 As shown, a first shaft hole 111 penetrating from a first side to a second side is formed in an insulating member 110 of the touch pressing assembly; a conductive sheet 120 is fixed to the second side of the insulating member 110, and a second shaft hole 121 facing the first shaft hole 111 is formed in the conductive sheet 120; a key 130 includes a key shaft 131 passing through the first shaft hole 111 and the second shaft hole 121, the key 130 can move along the axial direction of the first shaft hole 111, the key shaft 131 includes a first shaft section 1311 on a side of the conductive sheet 120 away from the insulating member 110, and a first abutting surface 1314 is formed on a side of the first shaft section 1311 facing the conductive sheet 120; a reset member 140 is configured to always make the first abutting surface 1314 have a tendency to move towards the conductive sheet 120 along the axial direction of the first shaft hole 111; when the first abutting surface 1314 is disengaged from the conductive sheet 120, the key 130 is electrically connected to the conductive sheet 120 through the auxiliary conductive structure 150.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the insulating member 110 is used for fixedly connecting to a specific electronic device, and as a main bearing structure, it is also used to bear the key 130, the reset member 140, and the conductive sheet 120. When the touch key 130 is touched, the first abutting surface 1314 of the key 130 and the conductive sheet 120 participate in forming a first conduction path; the key 130 is used for conducting electrical signals after being touched, and moving along the first shaft hole 111 after being pressed to trigger related components as a traditional physical key. The conductive sheet 120 is used for directly or indirectly connecting to the circuit system of the electronic device to transmit the touch electrical signal in the touch function to the circuit system. For example, the conductive sheet 120 can be electrically connected to a second circuit board 200 in the circuit system; due to the presence of the reset member 140, when the key 130 is in a natural state without being pressed by an external force, the first abutting surface 1314 abuts against the conductive sheet 120.

[0035] The device for physically pressing and triggering of the touch pressing assembly is a switch member 160. The switch member 160 is arranged on a side of the first shaft section 1311 away from the key cap 132. When the key 130 is pressed, the first shaft section 1311 moves towards the switch member 160 and triggers the switch member 160. The key 130 is used for moving along the first shaft hole 111 after being pressed to trigger the switch member 160 as a traditional physical key, and the switch member 160 is used for directly or indirectly connecting to the circuit system of the electronic device to transmit the electrical signal to the circuit system.

[0036] When the touch conduction function needs to be used, the user touches the outer surface of the button 130 with a finger. The button 130 does not move, and the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 still remain in the abutting state. At this time, the human body, the first abutting surface 1314 of the button 130, and the conductive sheet 120 will form a first conduction path to transmit the touch electrical signal to the circuit system of the electronic device; when the pressing function needs to be used, the user applies a pressing force on the outer surface of the button 130 with a finger. The button 130 will overcome the restoring force of the restoring member 140 and move along the first shaft hole 111. The displacement direction is from the first side to the second side, so as to trigger the corresponding controlled component through the moved button 130 to achieve the pressing trigger function. In this process, the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 will be separated from each other, so that the first conduction path cannot be realized during the pressing process. In order to enable the button 130 to achieve the touch conduction function while realizing the pressing trigger function, in this embodiment, when the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 are separated from each other, the button 130 is electrically connected to the conductive sheet 120 through the auxiliary conductive structure 150, that is, the human body, the button 130, the auxiliary conductive structure 150, and the conductive sheet 120 will form a second conduction path to transmit the touch electrical signal to the circuit system of the electronic device; when the user no longer presses the button 130, the button 130 will return to the natural state under the action of the restoring member 140, and the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 will abut again.

[0037] In the above working process, in the natural state and the touch state, the first abutting surface 1314 of the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 remain in the abutting state, and the conductive sheet 120 is sandwiched between the first shaft section 1311 and the insulating member 110. The abutting force is provided by the restoring member 140, and there is no need for the conductive sheet 120 itself to elastically deform to provide the abutting force. In the pressing state, the movement of the button 130 will not cause the deformation of the conductive sheet 120. Instead, the first abutting surface 1314 of the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 will be separated from each other. In this technical solution, whether in the touch usage scenario or in the pressing usage scenario, the conductive sheet 120 will not move and its structure will not deform, which will not cause fatigue accumulation of the conductive sheet 120 and improves the working life. In addition, in the above embodiment, the abutting state between the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 can prevent the key shaft 131 of the button 130 from being disengaged from the first shaft hole 111, and there is no need to additionally provide other anti-disengagement limiting structures.

[0038] In summary, the touch and press component provided by this embodiment has at least the following four key design advantages.

[0039] First, zero deformation of the conductive sheet 120. In the natural state, touch state, and pressing process, the conductive sheet 120 only serves as a static contact surface or a non-contact structure and does not need to elastically deform, greatly eliminating the risk of fatigue failure.

[0040] Second, dual touch signal path protection: the button 130 in the touch state is directly connected to the conductive sheet 120 through the first abutting surface 1314, and the button 130 in the pressed state is connected to the conductive sheet 120 through the auxiliary conductive structure 150, ensuring the stable operation of the touch function in the full operation cycle.

[0041] Third, the self-limiting structure is simplified. The elastic force of the reset member 140 is used to make the first abutting surface 1314 and the conductive sheet 120 abut against each other, thereby realizing the axial limitation of the key 130 to prevent the key 130 from falling out, without the need for additional limiting components such as buckles or screws, thereby reducing the complexity of assembly.

[0042] Fourthly, the reset element 140 independently bears the mechanical stress, and the conductive sheet 120 only transmits the touch electrical signal. The two are functionally separated and perform their respective duties, which significantly improves the overall reliability and service life of the component.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the conductive sheet 120 and the button 130 are both conductors, and the insulating member 110 is an insulator.

[0044] In some embodiments, the key 130 of the touch pressing assembly further includes a key cap 132, and the key cap 132 is located on a side of the first shaft hole 111 away from the conductive sheet 120; Figure 2 , Figures 6 - 8 As shown, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 includes a first spring 151 and a conductive column 152, wherein the first end of the first spring 151 is connected to the side of the key cap 132 facing the insulating member 110, and the conductive column 152 is connected to the conductive sheet 120 and extends into the insulating member 110; when the first abutting surface 1314 is out of contact with the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the first spring 151 abuts against the conductive column 152. The key cap 132 is used as the operating end of the key 130 and can be touched and pressed by the user, and at least part of the key cap 132 is exposed outside the insulating member 110 for the user to touch or press. The keycap 132 of the key 130 is a structure suitable for finger touch and press. Its surface can be provided with anti-slip texture and a suitable surface area as needed to be suitable for finger touch and press. The keycap 132 is provided on the first side of the insulating member 110. The keycap 132 itself will protrude radially from the key shaft 131 relative to the key shaft 131. In the process of the key shaft 131 moving along the first axial hole 111 toward the switch member 160, when the keycap 132 abuts against the insulating member 110, it will be blocked and unable to move. The keycap 132 can play a role in limiting the extreme position.

[0045] The above embodiments provide a specific implementation of the auxiliary conductive structure 150, that is, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 includes a first spring 151 and a conductive post 152. During the pressing process of the key 130, the first spring 151 can contact the conductive post 152 to form a second conduction path composed of the keycap 132, the first spring 151, the conductive post 152, and the conductive sheet 120, so as to transmit the touch electrical signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. After the key 130 is released, the elastic force of the reset member 140 will cause the key 130 to return to its natural state, ensuring that the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120 again.

[0046] In this implementation, first, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 selects the cooperation mode of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152. In the natural state, touch state, and movement process of the key 130, the conductive sheet 120 will not deform, ensuring the elimination of the risk of fatigue failure of the conductive sheet 120 and improving its service life. Secondly, the cooperation of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 in the auxiliary conductive structure 150 in this implementation can participate in forming the second conduction path, ensuring the realization of the transmission of the touch signal in the pressed state and ensuring the stable operation of the touch function in the pressed state. Thirdly, due to the deformable property of the first spring 151, the pressing process of the key 130 can continue after the first spring 151 abuts against the conductive post 152, and the auxiliary conductive structure 150 will not prevent the pressing displacement of the key 130, ensuring that the displacement of the key 130 can trigger the corresponding components. In addition, the design of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 selected for the auxiliary conductive structure 150 is simple, which simplifies the structure of the touch and press dual-purpose key, improves the reliability, and reduces the production cost at the same time.

[0047] Based on the above implementation, a first installation groove 112 is formed on one side of the insulating member 110 facing the keycap 132, a second installation groove 113 is formed on one side of the insulating member 110 facing the conductive sheet 120, the first installation groove 112 communicates with the second installation groove 113, the first spring 151 extends into the first installation groove 112, and the conductive post 152 extends into the second installation groove 113.

[0048] With this design, the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 are respectively fixed in two different directions of the insulating member 110, so that they can stably cooperate with other components and ensure the stability of the touch pressing component during the pressing of the button 130. Specifically, the design of the first mounting groove 112 and the second mounting groove 113 allows the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 to maintain their respective correct positions when the button 130 is pressed, preventing them from shifting in position or undergoing unnecessary deformation. The first mounting groove 112 communicates with the second mounting groove 113 to ensure that the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 can achieve physical contact connection, and a second conduction path is formed through the conductive post 152 and the conductive sheet 120 to transmit the touch electrical signal to the circuit system of the electronic device.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and 10 shown, a first through hole 122 facing the second mounting groove 113 is formed in the conductive sheet 120, and the conductive post 152 passes through the first through hole 122 and is screwed into the second mounting groove 113 to fix the conductive sheet 120 to the insulating member 110. The conductive post 152 not only participates in the signal transmission of the second conduction path but also serves as a fixing member to firmly fix the conductive sheet 120 on the insulating member 110. The conductive post 152 is screwed into the second mounting groove 113, ensuring the stability of signal transmission while guaranteeing the mechanical connection between the conductive sheet 120 and the insulating member 110, and enhancing the structural stability of the component.

[0050] When the button 130 is in the pressed state, the conductive post 152 contacts the second end of the first spring 151 and participates in forming the second conduction path to continue transmitting the touch signal to the circuit system. Since the conductive post 152 also plays a role in the fixed installation process of the conductive sheet 120, its design ensures the structural stability and prevents the conductive sheet 120 from loosening or shifting during long-term use. That is, the conductive post 152 not only solves the problem of the conduction path but also takes into account the fixing problem of the conductive sheet 120, simplifies the structural design, improves the reliability, and reduces the need for additional fixing members.

[0051] The first shaft section 1311 is located at one end of the key shaft 131 away from the keycap 132. A first abutting surface 1314 is machined on the surface of the first shaft section 1311 facing the conductive sheet 120, and a third abutting surface 1317 is machined on the surface facing away from the conductive sheet 120. Due to the existence of the reset member 140, when the key 130 is in the natural state without being pressed by an external force, the first abutting surface 1314 abuts against the conductive sheet 120; when the user presses the keycap 132 and the key 130 moves towards the switch member 160 against the reset force of the reset member 140, the third abutting surface 1317 will gradually approach and press against the switch member 160 to trigger the switch member 160. After the user releases the key 130 in the pressed state, the reset member 140 drives the key shaft 131 to move axially along the first shaft hole 111, so that the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120, and the key 130 is reset. The conductive sheet 120 plays a role in limiting the other extreme position, so that the key shaft 131 cannot be detached from the insulating member 110.

[0052] On the one hand, in the above embodiment, the reset force of the reset member 140 is used to make the first abutting surface 1314 abut against the conductive sheet 120, realizing the axial limit of the key 130 to prevent the key 130 from coming out. There is no need to additionally set limit components such as buckles or screws, which simplifies the product structure and reduces the assembly complexity. On the other hand, the conductive sheet 120 is a fixed structure, and the first shaft section 1311 is the structure of the key shaft 131 itself. Compared with sleeving a snap spring on the key shaft 131 for limiting, the contact limit between the first shaft section 1311 and the conductive sheet 120 can improve the stability in the limited state and reduce the risk of part detachment. Preferably, the conductive sheet 120 is preferably a plate structure, and a plane parallel to the first abutting surface 1314 is formed on the side facing the first shaft section 1311, so that when the first shaft section 1311 abuts against the conductive sheet 120, the two are in surface contact, further improving the stability in the limited state.

[0053] As a first mating form of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152, in some embodiments, the end of the conductive post 152 extends into the first mounting groove 112. When the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the first spring 151 is separated from the conductive post 152. In this way, in the non-pressed state (including the natural state and the touch state), only the first conduction path works, and the second conduction path is not activated because the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 cannot be connected. Specifically, when the button 130 is in the natural state or the touch state, the first conduction path contacts the conductive sheet 120 through the first abutting surface 1314 and transmits the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. At this time, the second conduction path is in a non-operating state because the second end of the first spring 151 does not contact the conductive post 152, so an effective circuit connection cannot be formed. When the user presses the button 130, the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, and the first conduction path is interrupted. At this time, the second end of the first spring 151 gradually approaches the conductive post 152 and finally achieves contact and cooperation with the conductive post 152, thereby forming the second conduction path. At this time, the second conduction path is activated and continues to work to ensure that the touch signal can still be transmitted in the pressed state.

[0054] This design can selectively activate the first conduction path or the second conduction path by switching between the first conduction path and the second conduction path, ensuring the stability and flexibility of touch signal transmission in both the pressed and non-pressed states. In the non-pressed state, only the first conduction path works and the second conduction path does not work, effectively avoiding unnecessary signal transmission interference and keeping the touch signal pure. Through the ingenious design of the conductive post 152 and the first mounting groove 112, the smooth operation of the button 130 in different states is ensured, and the reliability of the overall structure is improved.

[0055] In this embodiment, in the non-pressed state, only the first conduction path works. When the pressed state is activated, the first conduction path is interrupted, and the second conduction path continues to work through the contact between the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152. It can be applied to the following working scenarios.

[0056] Scenario a: Applicable to devices that need to switch operation function modes. For example, in a smart watch or a sports bracelet, the touch signal (the first conduction path) in the touch state is used for basic first function operations, while the touch signal (the second conduction path) in the pressed state is used to trigger a second different function operation, such as activating the setting interface or turning on a special function. At this time, the transmission of the touch signal of the first conduction path is disconnected at the beginning of pressing, and the second conduction path has not been activated, which can effectively avoid accidental touches and unnecessary operations and realize the switching of the two touch functions.

[0057] Scenario b: Applicable to low-power devices, such as certain portable audio players, simple remote controls, etc. In the non-pressing state, the touch signal is transmitted through the first conduction path, while in the pressing state, the touch signal is transmitted through the second conduction path. While enabling the transmission of touch information in both states, it does not consume excessive power.

[0058] Scenario c: Applicable to electronic devices with extremely high requirements for signal interference. If the first conduction path and the second conduction path are both in the working state simultaneously, signal transmission between them may be asynchronous. In the non-pressing state, the second conduction path does not work, effectively avoiding unnecessary signal transmission interference and maintaining the purity of the touch signal.

[0059] As the second cooperation form of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152, in some embodiments, the end of the conductive post 152 of the touch pressing component extends into the first mounting groove 112. When the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the first spring 151 abuts against the conductive post 152. In this embodiment, in the non-pressing state (including the natural state and the touch state), both the first conduction path and the second conduction path are in the activated state. Specifically, when the button 130 is in the natural state or the touch state, the first conduction path contacts the conductive sheet 120 through the first abutting surface 1314 and transmits the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. At this time, the second conduction path transmits the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device through the abutting of the second end of the first spring 151 against the conductive post 152, forming an effective circuit connection. When the user presses the button 130, the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, and the first conduction path is interrupted. At this time, after the first spring 151 is compressed and deformed, its second end can more stably abut against the conductive post 152, and the second conduction path still continues to work, ensuring that the touch signal can still be transmitted in the pressing state.

[0060] This design enables both the first conduction path and the second conduction path to work in the non-pressing state. After the pressing action is initiated, the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 are always in a connected state, and the second conduction path is always in the working state. During the switching process between the touch and pressing actions, there will be no breakpoints in the transmission of the touch signal in the component.

[0061] In the non-pressing state of this embodiment, both the first conduction path and the second conduction path are working. When the pressing action is initiated, the first conduction path is interrupted and the second conduction path continues to work, ensuring that the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 are always connected. It is particularly applicable to scenarios that require stable and continuous touch signal transmission, especially for devices that frequently switch operation modes, ensuring that touch signals can operate stably during high-frequency pressing interactions, enabling the device to process pressing actions without stopping touch signal transmission. Specific usage scenarios are exemplified as follows.

[0062] Scenario d: When the smartwatch performs medical monitoring functions, touch signals are used to monitor physical health parameters, and pressing operations are used to physically trigger other functions, such as display operations or menu selections, etc. During the pressing process, it is necessary to maintain continuous transmission of touch signals to continuously monitor physical health parameters. By adopting this embodiment, touch signals and pressing signals work in parallel, ensuring that the transmission of touch signals will not be interrupted during pressing.

[0063] Scenario e: When applied to game control devices (such as gamepads), rapid and frequent switching between touch and pressing actions is required. It is necessary to ensure continuous transmission of touch signals during the switching process, without interrupting the game operations corresponding to the touch signals, providing an efficient operation experience.

[0064] It should be noted that the applicability of the above two specific cooperation forms of the first spring 151 and the conductive post 152 depends on the usage scenario of the electronic device and the requirements of the specific operation mode. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments and selections according to needs.

[0065] In some usage scenarios, when the button 130 of the touch and press component is pressed, it is only for the purpose of achieving a physical trigger function and does not require the transmission of touch signals. In order to be able to be compatible with this usage scenario through a set of component structures, the technicians further make the following improvements: The conductive post 152 is screwed and fitted with the first through hole 122 and / or the second installation groove 113. During the process of rotating the conductive post 152, the end of the conductive post 152 has a state located in the first installation groove 112 and a state located in the second installation groove 113.

[0066] In this embodiment, by rotating the conductive post 152, technicians can adjust the position of its end according to needs. The conductive post 152 can be screwed to flexibly position its end within the first mounting groove 112 or the second mounting groove 113. This design enables the conductive post 152 to selectively activate the second conduction path when the button 130 is in the pressed state. Specifically, when the end of the conductive post 152 is located within the second mounting groove 113, the end of the first spring 151 within the first mounting groove 112 cannot extend into the second mounting groove 113 to connect with the conductive post 152, such that the second conduction path is not activated, and only the physical operation of the button 130 is triggered upon pressing. On the contrary, when the end of the conductive post 152 rotates into the first mounting groove 112, the end of the first spring 151 within the first mounting groove 112 can achieve abutting cooperation with the conductive post 152, and the second conduction path can be activated. Upon pressing, not only the physical trigger function of the button 130 is realized, but also the touch signal can be transmitted through the second conduction path to continue to realize the touch conduction function. By rotating the conductive post 152, the working mode of the touch and press component can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, allowing different functional requirements to be realized within the same component. This can not only simplify the design and reduce unnecessary functions, but also enhance functions according to needs, enabling the device to be compatible with and adapt to different usage scenarios, enhancing the adaptability and customizability of the touch and press component. Moreover, this design uses screw connection and rotation adjustment, eliminating the need for additional complex switches or adjustment mechanisms, saving design and installation space while maintaining the stability of the function of the button 130. As the usage scenarios and requirements of the device change continuously, technicians can adjust the position of the conductive post 152 according to the specific usage scenario of the device for flexible configuration, enabling the component to be widely applied to different products.

[0067] The rotation function of the conductive post 152 can be achieved by screwing only with the first through hole 122, by screwing only with the second mounting groove 113, or by simultaneously screwing with the first through hole 122 and the second mounting groove 113. The last option is preferably adopted. At this time, the conductive post 152 is screwed to both the first through hole 122 and the second mounting groove 113. On the basis of achieving the aforementioned technical effects, the technical effect of fixing the conductive sheet 120 on the insulating member 110 can also be simultaneously achieved.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the key shaft 131 of the touch and press component includes a first shaft segment 1311, a second shaft segment 1312, and a third shaft segment 1313. The first shaft segment 1311, the second shaft segment 1312, and the third shaft segment 1313 are arranged in sequence. The second shaft hole 121 is sleeved outside the second shaft segment 1312. One end of the first shaft segment 1311 facing the conductive sheet 120 protrudes radially from the second shaft segment 1312 to form a first abutting surface 1314, and one end of the third shaft segment 1313 facing the conductive sheet 120 protrudes radially from the second shaft segment 1312 to form a second abutting surface 1315. In this embodiment, the key shaft 131 of the touch and press component is formed by sequentially arranging the first shaft segment 1311, the second shaft segment 1312, and the third shaft segment 1313, forming a multi-segment structure. In the natural state or when the user touches the key 130, the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120 and participates in forming a first conduction path to transmit the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. At this time, the second conduction path is not activated. When the user presses the key 130, the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, and the first conduction path is interrupted. The second abutting surface 1315 will gradually approach and contact one side of the conductive sheet 120 facing the insulating member 110, thereby forming a second conduction path composed of the key 130, the second abutting surface 1315 of the key 130, and the conductive sheet 120, and continuing to transmit the touch signal to the circuit system to ensure the transmission of the touch signal in the pressed state. That is, at this time, the second abutting surface 1315 plays the role of the auxiliary conductive structure 150.

[0069] It is not difficult to find that in the above embodiment, the second abutting surface 1315 is the limiting surface of the extreme position of the movement of the key 130 in the pressed state. That is, after the second abutting surface 1315 abuts against the conductive sheet 120, the key 130 is blocked by the conductive sheet 120 and cannot move further. At this time, only when the key 130 moves to the extreme position can the second conduction path be activated, and the conditions are too harsh, which limits the applicability of the touch and press component. Based on this, as Figure 12 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 includes a second spring 153 sleeved on the second shaft segment 1312. The first end of the second spring 153 is connected to the second abutting surface 1315. After the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the second spring 153 can abut against one side of the conductive sheet 120 facing the key cap 132, that is, the second end of the second spring 153 can abut against one side of the conductive sheet 120 facing the third shaft segment 1313.

[0070] The above embodiments provide another specific implementation of the auxiliary conductive structure 150, that is, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 includes a second spring 153. During the pressing process of the key 130, the second spring 153 can contact the conductive sheet 120 to form a second conduction path composed of the keycap 132, the second abutting surface 1315, the second spring 153, and the conductive sheet 120, so as to transmit the touch electrical signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. After the key 130 is released, the elastic force of the reset member 140 will cause the key 130 to return to its natural state, ensuring that the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120 again.

[0071] In this embodiment, first, the auxiliary conductive structure 150 selects the second spring 153 to cooperate with the conductive sheet 120. In the natural state, touch state, and movement process of the key 130, the conductive sheet 120 will not be deformed, ensuring the elimination of the risk of fatigue failure of the conductive sheet 120 and improving its service life. Secondly, the cooperation between the second spring 153 and the conductive sheet 120 in the auxiliary conductive structure 150 in this embodiment can participate in forming a second conduction path, ensuring the transmission of touch signals in the pressed state and ensuring the stable operation of the touch function in the pressed state. Thirdly, due to the deformable property of the second spring 153, the pressing process of the key 130 can continue after the second spring 153 abuts against the conductive sheet 120. The conductive sheet 120 and the auxiliary conductive structure 150 will not prevent the pressing displacement of the key 130, ensuring that the displacement of the key 130 can trigger the corresponding components. With the deformability of the second spring 153, the second conduction path can be activated during part or all of the stroke when the key 130 is pressed. In addition, the design of the auxiliary conductive structure 150 using the second spring 153 has a simple structure, simplifies the structure of the touch and press dual-purpose key, improves the reliability, and reduces the production cost at the same time.

[0072] As the first form of cooperation between the second spring 153 and the conductive sheet 120, in some embodiments, when the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the second spring 153 is separated from the conductive sheet 120. In this way, in the non-pressing state (including the natural state and the touch state), only the first conduction path works, and the second conduction path is not activated because the second spring 153 and the conductive sheet 120 cannot be connected. Specifically, when the button 130 is in the natural state or the touch state, the first conduction path contacts the conductive sheet 120 through the first abutting surface 1314 and transmits the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. At this time, the second conduction path is in a non-working state because the second end of the second spring 153 does not contact the conductive sheet 120, so an effective circuit connection cannot be formed. When the user presses the button 130, the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, and the first conduction path is interrupted. At this time, the second end of the second spring 153 gradually approaches the conductive sheet 120 and finally achieves contact cooperation with the conductive sheet 120, thereby forming a second conduction path. At this time, the second conduction path is activated and continues to work to ensure that the touch signal can still be transmitted in the pressing state.

[0073] Through the switching between the first conduction path and the second conduction path, this design can selectively activate the first conduction path or the second conduction path, ensuring the stability and flexibility of touch signal transmission in both the pressing and non-pressing states. In the non-pressing state, the second conduction path does not work, effectively avoiding unnecessary signal transmission interference and keeping the touch signal pure. In this embodiment, in the non-pressing state, only the first conduction path works. When the pressing state is started, the first conduction path is interrupted, and the second conduction path continues to work through the contact between the second spring 153 and the conductive sheet 120. It can also be applied to the working scenarios a, b, and c described above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] As a second form of cooperation between the second spring 153 and the conductive sheet 120, in some embodiments, when the first abutting surface 1314 contacts the conductive sheet 120, the second end of the second spring 153 abuts against the conductive sheet 120. In this embodiment, in the non-pressing state (including the natural state and the touch state), both the first conduction path and the second conduction path are in the activated state. Specifically, when the button 130 is in the natural state or the touch state, the first conduction path contacts the conductive sheet 120 through the first abutting surface 1314 and transmits the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device. At this time, the second conduction path abuts against the conductive sheet 120 through the second end of the second spring 153, transmitting the touch signal to the circuit system of the electronic device to form an effective electrical connection. When the user presses the button 130, the first abutting surface 1314 is separated from the conductive sheet 120, and the first conduction path is interrupted. At this time, after the second spring 153 is compressed and deformed, its second end can abut more stably against the conductive sheet 120, and the second conduction path still continues to work, ensuring that the touch signal can still be transmitted in the pressing state. This design enables both the first conduction path and the second conduction path to work in the non-pressing state. After the pressing action is started, the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 are always in a connected state, and the second conduction path is always in a working state. During the switching process between the touch and pressing actions, there will be no breakpoints in the touch signal transmission of the component.

[0075] In this embodiment, in the non-pressing state, both the first conduction path and the second conduction path work. When the pressing action is started, the first conduction path is interrupted, and the second conduction path continues to work, ensuring that the button 130 and the conductive sheet 120 are always connected. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require stable and continuous touch signal transmission, especially devices that frequently switch operation modes, ensuring that the touch signal can operate stably in high-frequency pressing interactions, enabling the device to process pressing actions without stopping the touch signal transmission. For specific examples of usage scenarios, reference can be made to the descriptions of scenarios d and e in the previous text, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 - 3 、 Figure 8 、 Figures 11 - 12As shown, on the side of the insulating member 110 of the touch and press assembly facing the keycap 132, a receiving groove 114 matching the outer shape of the keycap 132 is provided. The contour of the receiving groove 114 is adapted to the outer contour of the keycap 132. Specifically, the groove wall of the receiving groove 114 has a certain shape and size to ensure that the keycap 132 can move smoothly and stably along the axial direction during pressing and prevent deviation or skew. In the design of the receiving groove 114, the groove wall is closely fitted with the outer edge of the keycap 132, so that the keycap 132 will not have unnecessary swinging or friction during pressing, thus ensuring the smoothness and comfort of the pressing action. In addition, the bottom of the receiving groove 114 is designed to have a certain depth to provide a limiting effect on the axial movement of the keycap 132 in the pressed state. Specifically, during the pressing process of the keycap 132, it can move freely along the groove wall of the receiving groove 114, but during the pressing process, the amplitude of its axial movement is limited by the bottom of the receiving groove 114, preventing the keycap 132 from exceeding the set movement range. In this way, the limiting effect of the bottom of the groove effectively prevents the keycap 132 from moving excessively during pressing, thereby avoiding damage caused by excessive extrusion of the key shaft 131 on the switch member 160 and ensuring the service life and stability of the switch member 160. That is, the receiving groove 114 not only enhances the cooperation stability between the keycap 132 and the insulating member 110, but also realizes the movement limit of the keycap 132, avoiding the adverse effects of excessive pressing or uncontrolled movement of the keycap 132 on the internal switch member 160, and greatly improving the reliability and operation experience of the key 130.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the reset member 140 of the touch pressing assembly is a spring disposed between the keycap 132 and the insulating member 110. A third mounting groove 115 for mounting the spring is formed on one side of the insulating member 110 facing the keycap 132. The working principle of this spring is to store mechanical energy. When the key 130 is pressed by an external force, it compresses and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the spring releases the stored energy and pushes the key 130 back to its initial position, thus completing the reset action and enabling the key 130 to automatically reset to its initial state after the pressing is released. The design of the third mounting groove 115 allows the spring serving as the reset member 140 to maintain its correct position when the key 130 is pressed, preventing the spring from shifting in position or undergoing unnecessary deformation and maintaining a stable working state. Specifically, the shape and size of the third mounting groove 115 are adapted to the selected spring, and the groove wall can fit with the outer surface of the spring, thereby fixing the position of the spring and preventing it from shifting or excessively swaying during operation, and defining the elastic force direction parallel to the axial direction of the key axis 131. The depth of the third mounting groove 115 ensures that the spring can freely expand and compress during and after the keycap 132 is pressed to provide sufficient restoring force. The formation of the third mounting groove 115 not only provides a mounting position for the spring, but also enables precise control of the position and force-bearing state of the spring, improving the stability of the reset function, avoiding possible damage or failure of the spring, and enabling it to maintain good performance during repeated pressing.

[0078] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 shown, a limiting groove 1321 is formed on one side of the keycap 132 of the touch pressing assembly facing the insulating member 110 and is aligned with the third mounting groove 115. One end of the spring is limited within the limiting groove 1321, and the other end extends into the third mounting groove 115. The design of the limiting groove 1321 can effectively prevent the spring from tilting or undergoing radial displacement during operation, thereby avoiding uneven force on the spring, and further ensuring that the pressing and reset processes of the keycap 132 are smooth and consistent, improving the service life and overall stability of the key 130. In addition, through the coordinated cooperation of the limiting groove 1321 and the third mounting groove 115, the two ends of the spring are respectively limited and stably arranged through the corresponding third mounting groove 115 and limiting groove 1321, further avoiding problems such as uneven force on the keycap 132 or unsmooth operation of the key 130 caused by spring instability, and ensuring that the spring does not undergo radial displacement or tilt during operation.

[0079] In some embodiments, as Figure 12As shown, there are two sets of springs, third mounting grooves 115 and limiting grooves 1321 of the touch pressing component, which are correspondingly arranged and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the key shaft 131. There is a set of third mounting groove 115 and limiting groove 1321 on each side of the key shaft 131, and both ends of the spring are respectively fitted with these grooves. This design effectively avoids the eccentric force or asymmetric pressure that may be caused by a single-sided design, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the switch component. The springs symmetrically distributed on both sides maintain balance during the pressing and resetting processes of the button 130, avoiding the situation where the button 130 cannot be fully reset or is not sensitive to pressing due to uneven force on the springs. At the same time, such a design can also reduce component wear caused by uneven force.

[0080] It should be noted that as Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 shown, those skilled in the art can use one of the springs serving as the reset member 140 as the first spring 151 according to needs, so that while realizing the reset function, it can cooperate with the conductive post 152 to form a first conduction path. Similarly, the third mounting groove 115 for accommodating the spring of the reset member can be used as the first mounting groove 112 for accommodating the first spring 151.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figures 8 - 9 and Figures 12 - 13 shown, a groove 1316 is circumferentially arranged on the key shaft 131 of the touch pressing component, and a sealing ring 133 is sleeved on the groove 1316. The sealing ring 133 is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the first shaft hole 111. In this embodiment, the sealing ring 133 is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the first shaft hole 111 to prevent external liquid or dust from entering the inside of the component, protecting the internal electronic components from contamination and damage, improving the protection level of the component, and being applicable to application scenarios that require waterproof and dustproof. The presence of the sealing ring 133 enhances the connection stability between the key shaft 131 and the first shaft hole 111, reduces looseness or displacement caused by friction or vibration, and ensures the long-term reliability of the component. By arranging the groove 1316 on the key shaft 131 and sleeving the sealing ring 133, the design of the sealing structure is simplified, and the complexity of production and assembly is reduced.

[0082] In some embodiments, the conductive sheet 120 in the touch pressing component is adhesively connected to the insulating member 110, and the aperture of the second shaft hole 121 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first shaft segment 1311 and larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft segment 1312.

[0083] The conductive sheet 120 is adhesively connected to the insulating member 110, which can achieve a tight fit between the conductive sheet 120 and the insulating member 110, forming a firm and stable structure. The conductive sheet 120 can be adhesively fixed to the insulating member 110 in various ways, such as by using screws, snap structures, hot pressing, or adhesives, so that the conductive sheet 120 will not loosen or fall off during the entire use of the key 130. The contact surface between the conductive sheet 120 and the insulating member 110 can be precisely processed to make its surface smoother and flatter, thereby increasing the contact area between the two and further enhancing the fixing effect. In this way, the conductive sheet 120 can effectively bear the axial force of the key 130. The conductive sheet 120 is adhesively connected to the insulating member 110. Under the restoring force of the restoring member 140, in the natural state, a resisting force is formed between the first abutting surface 1314 of the first shaft segment 1311 and the side of the conductive sheet 120 away from the insulating member 110, further enhancing the stability of the conductive sheet 120. This design not only ensures that the conductive sheet 120 is firmly fixed to the insulating member 110, but also further improves the overall stability and durability of the assembly through the axial force transmission of the first shaft segment 1311. The first abutting surface 1314 of the first shaft segment 1311 forms a tight contact with the side of the conductive sheet 120 away from the insulating member 110. This contact is not a simple supporting effect, but rather makes the conductive sheet 120 more firmly fixed to the insulating member 110 through the transmission of the axial force, preventing the conductive sheet 120 from shifting or loosening. Especially during the pressing process with a large force, the first abutting surface 1314 can effectively transmit the force evenly to the conductive sheet 120, and transfer the pressure to the insulating member 110 with a load-bearing function through the conductive sheet 120. During the repeated pressing and resetting processes, the conductive sheet 120 can rely on this additional resisting force to reduce the stress concentration caused by vibration or impact, so that the conductive sheet 120 is not easily damaged or worn during long-term use. Even under extreme or high-frequency working conditions, the key 130 and the conductive sheet 120 can still maintain good performance.

[0084] The aperture of the second shaft hole 121 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first shaft segment 1311, which enables an effective abutting effect to be formed between the first shaft segment 1311 and the conductive sheet 120. This design ensures that during the operation of the button 130, the contact between the first shaft segment 1311 and the conductive sheet 120 can be maintained stably, thereby effectively preventing the button 130 from being damaged or having unstable functions due to excessive movement. On the other hand, the aperture of the second shaft hole 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft segment 1312. This design enables the key shaft 131 to axially move freely within the second shaft segment 1312 without being interfered by the conductive sheet 120. That is to say, when the second shaft segment 1312 passes through the second shaft hole 121, it can smoothly perform axial movement, ensuring the normal pressing and reset functions of the button 130. Through this structure, the axial movement range of the button 130 is effectively controlled, while ensuring the smooth operation of the button 130 and avoiding the problem of unsmooth operation of the button 130 caused by excessive friction or unsmooth movement.

[0085] This embodiment ensures the balance between the limitation and movement of the key shaft 131 by cleverly designing the size of the second shaft hole 121 of the conductive sheet 120. The key shaft 131 can not only make effective contact with the conductive sheet 120 when the button 130 is reset to limit the button 130, but also maintain free axial movement during normal pressing use, ensuring the stability and operation comfort of the button 130. This design not only improves the durability of the touch pressing component, but also optimizes the user experience, ensuring that the button 130 responds sensitively and is reliable in the long term.

[0086] In some embodiments, the aperture of the first shaft hole 111 in the touch pressing component is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the key shaft 131, and the second shaft hole 121 penetrates through to the edge of the conductive sheet 120 to form a notch 123 as shown in Figure 10 . The aperture of the first shaft hole 111 being larger than the maximum outer diameter of the key shaft 131 can ensure that the key shaft 131 can smoothly penetrate through the entire first shaft hole 111. The maximum outer diameter of the key shaft 131 is slightly smaller than the aperture of the first shaft hole 111, which not only allows the key shaft 131 to freely insert from the first side of the insulating part 110, but also ensures that during the installation of the button 130, the first shaft segment 1311 can be exposed from the second side. The free movement of the key shaft 131 in the first shaft hole 111 ensures the smooth movement of the button 130 component, avoiding problems of blockage or jamming caused by the first shaft hole 111 being too small.

[0087] Since the first shaft section 1311 will abut against the conductive sheet 120 during operation, it is inevitable that the first shaft section 1311 cannot penetrate through the second shaft hole 121 of the conductive sheet 120. How to quickly sleave the second shaft hole 121 on the key shaft 131 during the assembly process has become an urgent problem to be solved. In this embodiment, the second shaft hole 121 is penetrated to the edge of the conductive sheet 120 to form a notch 123, which can realize the detachable assembly of the key 130, the insulating member 110 and the conductive sheet 120. Through this notch 123, the conductive sheet 120 during the assembly process can move radially, so that the second shaft hole 121 of the conductive sheet 120 can be sleeved on the second shaft section 1312 of the key shaft 131, instead of passing through the second shaft hole 121 in the axial movement manner. This design greatly simplifies the installation steps of the conductive sheet 120, and by providing detachability, it enhances the convenience of later maintenance and replacement. The specific assembly process is schematically illustrated as follows.

[0088] Step 1: The key shaft 131 of the key 130 is inserted into the first shaft hole 111 from the first side of the insulating member 110, and the first shaft section 1311 continues to extend out from the second side of the insulating member 110. At this time, the conductive sheet 120 has not been installed on the insulating member 110, and the first shaft section 1311 can freely extend out to the second side of the insulating member 110 and completely expose outside the insulating member 110, and a part of the second shaft section 1312 also exposes outside the insulating member 110.

[0089] Step 2: Install the conductive sheet 120. At this time, the notch 123 on the conductive sheet 120 is close to the second shaft section 1312. Through the notch 123 communicated with the second shaft hole 121 on the conductive sheet 120, the conductive sheet 120 is moved radially so that the second shaft hole 121 is sleeved on the second shaft section 1312.

[0090] Step 3: Fix the conductive sheet 120 to ensure that the conductive sheet 120 is firmly connected to the insulating member 110.

[0091] In the above assembly process, no complex tools or high-precision operations are required, which is convenient for production and assembly. The design of the notch 123 communicated with the second shaft hole 121 enables the conductive sheet 120 to be easily assembled and disassembled, which is very important for later maintenance and replacement, especially when the electronic product needs to be used for a long time or frequently repaired. By designing a reasonable hole diameter fit and shaft section limit structure, the deviation or misoperation that may occur during the assembly process is avoided, ensuring the accurate fit of each component, thereby improving the overall reliability and stability of the product.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 - 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13As shown, the conductive sheet 120 includes a first conductive sheet 124 and a second conductive sheet 125 arranged at an angle. The first conductive sheet 124 is fixed on the insulating member 110. The button 130 is movably arranged on the insulating member 110 to achieve contact or separation from the first conductive sheet 124. The second conductive sheet 125 is used to be connected to the second circuit board 200 through a conductive connection member. During the movement of the button 130 relative to the insulating member 110, there is a state of contact with the first conductive sheet 124. At this time, after touching the touch button 130, the touch electrical signal is sequentially transmitted through the button 130, the first conductive sheet 124, the second conductive sheet 125, and the conductive connection member 700 to form a first conduction path, and then the touch signal can be transmitted to the second circuit board 200. In the related art, the conductive connection member usually uses a conductive elastic sheet. The conductive elastic sheet generally includes a fixing portion and an elastic portion. The fixing portion is used for fixedly connecting with structures such as a circuit board to realize connection with its internal circuit, and the elastic portion is used for non-fixed pressing connection with an external circuit. Specifically, depending on the deformation amount of the elastic portion, the elastic portion completes contact with the external circuit. When the conductive elastic sheet is installed, an external force is required to deform the elastic portion to obtain sufficient elastic force so that the elastic portion can stably make pressing contact with the external circuit. However, in the related art, the elastic portion of the conductive elastic sheet is in an undeformed state in the natural state before installation. During the installation process, the undeformed elastic portion in the natural state needs to be adjusted to a deformed state with sufficient elastic force. This process requires a large deformation amount of the elastic portion, resulting in a cumbersome operation process. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application also provides an optimized conductive connection member.

[0093] As Figures 14 - 16As shown in the figure, the main structure of the conductive connector 700 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a first substrate 710, wing plates 720, and an elastic sheet 730. The back surface of the first substrate 710 is configured to be connected to a circuit board. Here, the connection between the back surface of the first substrate 710 and the second circuit board 200 is taken as an example for illustration; there are two wing plates 720, which are respectively formed by extending from the opposite side edges of the first substrate 710 toward the front side of the first substrate 710. The free end of one wing plate 720 is bent toward the other wing plate 720 to form a first limiting portion 740; the elastic sheet 730 includes a vertical plate 731, a first elastic arm 732, a bending section 733, and a second elastic arm 734 arranged in sequence. The vertical plate 731 is connected to the first substrate 710. The bending section 733 is located at one end of the elastic sheet 730 away from the first substrate 710 and protrudes from the free end of the wing plate 720. The second elastic arm 734 extends from the bending section 733 toward the first substrate 710 and extends into the space between the two wing plates 720. A second limiting portion 750 is formed on the second elastic arm 734. The second limiting portion 750 abuts against the side of the first limiting portion 740 facing the first substrate 710 so that the elastic sheet 730 is in a deformed state. The restoring force generated by the elastic sheet 730 makes the second limiting portion 750 always tend to move away from the first substrate 710.

[0094] The first substrate 710 is the core component of the conductive connector 700. Through the connection between its back surface and the second circuit board 200, electrical connection is completed, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the conductive connector 700 and the second circuit board 200.

[0095] The design of the wing plates 720 not only enhances the structural stability but also, through its cooperation with the elastic sheet 730, ensures that the elastic sheet 730 can maintain a preset deformed state in the natural state.

[0096] The vertical plate 731 in the elastic sheet 730 is connected to the first substrate 710, playing a role of support and connection; the first elastic arm 732 is connected to the vertical plate 731 and has elasticity, responsible for providing the deformation ability for the elastic sheet 730 during the installation process; the bending section 733 is located at one end of the elastic sheet 730 away from the first substrate 710 and protrudes from the free end of the wing plate 720. It is used to contact and connect with the devices of the external circuit structure. The bending section 733 enables the conductive connector 700 to achieve electrical contact with the external circuit (such as sensors, connectors, conductive components, etc.); the second elastic arm 734 extends from the bending section 733 toward the first substrate 710 and enters the space between the wing plates 720, used to abut against the front surface of the first substrate 710 and deform when necessary, providing further elastic force.

[0097] A second limiting portion 750 is formed on the second elastic arm 734 of the elastic sheet 730. The second limiting portion 750 cooperates with the first limiting portion 740 on the wing plate 720. Through this cooperation, the elastic sheet 730 is in a preset deformed state in its natural state, ensuring that the elastic sheet 730 remains in a stable elastic state without external force.

[0098] The design of this embodiment enables the elastic sheet 730 to be maintained in a preset deformed state in its natural state through the cooperation of the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750. During the installation process, only a small amount of deformation needs to be applied to further deform the elastic sheet 730 to a suitable position. The specific installation steps are as follows: Step 1, align the conductive connector 700 with a predetermined position on the second circuit board 200 so that the back surface of the first substrate 710 forms a stable connection with the second circuit board 200. At this time, due to the cooperation of the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750, the elastic sheet 730 is already in a preset deformed state; Step 2, apply an external force to the elastic sheet 730 to further slightly deform the elastic sheet 730, causing the second limiting portion 750 to disengage from the first limiting portion 740 and approach the first substrate 710, so that the bent section 733 of the elastic sheet 730 gradually approaches the first substrate 710 to obtain the final installation state. After the elastic sheet 730 undergoes a slight deformation in the second step, a stable abutment can be formed with the external structure through the bent section 733, ensuring reliable electrical connection of the conductive connector 700.

[0099] Through the cooperation of the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750 in this embodiment, the elastic sheet 730 is maintained in a preset deformed state in its natural state. Only a small additional deformation of the elastic sheet 730 is required to obtain the desired elastic abutting force. Compared with the elastic sheet 730 that is unconstrained in its natural state, the deformation adjustment amount during the installation process is smaller, reducing the operation steps that require a large deformation amount in the traditional technology, making the installation process simpler and more efficient. And because the elastic sheet 730 is already maintained in a suitable deformed state in its natural state, the deformation amount during the installation process is smaller, thereby reducing the repeated bending and deformation adjustment range of the material and extending the service life of the conductive connector 700.

[0100] As the size of electro-conductive products is getting smaller and smaller, the integration of their internal structures is also increasing. This means that the operable space inside the product is becoming increasingly limited, and the need for external tools and large adjustments needs to be minimized during the installation process. Traditional installation methods often require a large amount of deformation or external force to complete the installation, while this embodiment ensures that the elastic sheet 730 is already in a preset deformation state in a natural state through the cooperation of the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750. Only by applying external force can the elastic sheet 730 be further slightly deformed and installed, without the need for large-scale deformation and adjustment, thus avoiding the situation in which a large amount of space is required for operation in the traditional installation method. In order to adapt to the trend of various existing electronic products towards miniaturization and thinness, the design of the conductive connector 700 not only needs to ensure the stability of the electrical connection, but also fully considers the compactness of the internal structure of the conductive electronic product and the scene use requirements of the integration. Therefore, the traditional installation method often faces the problems of small space and inconvenient operation. This embodiment meets these new requirements by optimizing the deformation adjustment method of the elastic sheet 730.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the vertical plate 731 of the conductive connector 700 is connected to the first elastic arm 732 through a continuously arranged first bending segment 735 and a second bending segment 736, and the bending directions of the first bending segment 735 and the second bending segment 736 are opposite.

[0102] The reverse bending design of the first curved section 735 and the second curved section 736 which are continuously arranged can effectively disperse the deformation stress, so that the elastic sheet 730 can be more evenly subjected to the external force during the working process. Compared with the traditional design, the continuous reverse bending setting allows the elastic sheet 730 to achieve ideal deformation under the action of a smaller force, thereby enhancing the overall elastic performance. The opposite bending directions of the first curved section 735 and the second curved section 736 provide elastic forces that oppose each other, which not only enables the elastic sheet 730 to maintain a certain flexibility under different deformation degrees, but also optimizes the deformation response of the elastic sheet 730, which is conducive to enhancing the deformation ability and reset ability of the conductive connector 700. The deformation force during the installation process is small, and the elastic sheet 730 can quickly return to the initial state where the first limit portion 740 and the second limit portion 750 abut against each other after the external force is removed.

[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, a protruding ear plate 760 is formed on the wing plate 720 of the conductive connector 700, and the ear plate 760 shields the first bending section 735 and / or the second bending section 736. Since the bending section is usually the part of the elastic sheet 730 that is most prone to fatigue damage, especially during high-frequency deformation or installation, cracks, bending, or excessive wear are likely to occur in the bending section, and it is necessary to avoid physical impact on the bending section by other external structures. The protruding ear plate 760 can effectively reduce the possibility of the bending section directly contacting external objects through physical shielding, avoiding direct impact and damage to these vulnerable components by external factors. This not only improves the service life and stability of the conductive connector 700 but also reduces the maintenance cost.

[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the ear plate 760 on one wing plate 720 is bent towards the other wing plate 720 to form a second substrate 770 parallel to the first substrate 710. By bending the ear plate 760 formed on the wing plate 720 to form the second substrate 770, the conductive connector 700 can not only be connected to the second circuit board 200 through the first substrate 710 but also be connected to the circuit board of the external circuit through the second substrate 770. This design provides multiple connection methods, and users can choose the appropriate connection method according to different application requirements, making the conductive connector 700 more widely applicable.

[0105] The second substrate 770 is similar to the first substrate 710 and is a non-elastic structure. Compared with the dynamic pressing connection method provided by the combination of the elastic sheet 730 and the first substrate 710, the combination of the second substrate 770 and the first substrate 710 provides a static connection solution. By connecting to the external circuit board through the second substrate 770, the conductive connector 700 can complete electrical connection without relying on elastic deformation, which is suitable for occasions with high requirements for connection stability. The first substrate 710 and the second substrate 770 can be respectively used for static connection between two circuit boards, making the product more flexible and allowing different connection solutions to be selected according to needs. The design of the second substrate 770 increases the connection stability. Especially in the case where large mechanical stress needs to be borne, as a non-elastic structure, the second substrate 770 can effectively prevent poor electrical contact caused by deformation at the connection point, thereby improving the service life and electrical performance of the entire conductive connector 700.

[0106] The cooperation between the elastic sheet 730 and the first substrate 710 is mainly used to realize the pressing contact connection between the second circuit board 200 and the external circuit structure. This pressing contact connection can provide more stable electrical contact during the installation process to ensure the reliability of the connection. The static connection function of the second substrate 770 provides another option, making the connection method more flexible. By providing the dual connection methods of the elastic sheet 730 and the second substrate 770, the best connection scheme can be selected according to specific needs during installation. For example, if a stronger physical connection strength needs to be maintained during the installation process, the static connection method of the second substrate 770 will be a preferred solution. For application scenarios that require dynamic connection or higher flexibility, the cooperation between the elastic sheet 730 and the first substrate 710 can be selected. Users can flexibly choose the appropriate connection method according to specific needs, which can not only ensure the reliability of the electrical connection but also improve the adaptability of the product to meet the needs in different environments.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, a reinforcing rib 780 is provided at the connection between the wing plate 720 and the first limiting portion 740. The cooperation between the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750 requires a certain mechanical support. Especially in the initial state, the elastic sheet 730 is limited in a preset deformed state, and the first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750 are always in an abutting state, and the first limiting portion 740 will bear a certain amount of pressure or stress. The provision of the reinforcing rib 780 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the first limiting portion 740, thereby preventing it from deforming, being damaged or suffering fatigue failure during the stress-bearing process and maintaining stability for a longer time.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, a stress relief hole 790 is formed at the connection between the wing plate 720 and the first substrate 710. In traditional structural designs, the connection or bending areas often become stress concentration regions, and long-term stress may lead to material fatigue, cracking or failure. By providing the stress relief hole 790 at the connection between the wing plate 720 and the first substrate 710, the presence of the stress relief hole 790 can make the stress evenly distributed along the hole wall, avoiding the local stress concentration phenomenon in traditional designs, effectively dispersing the stress, reducing the stress concentration at the connection, and thus reducing the risk of component damage during use. The design of the stress relief hole 790 can also make the component have a lighter weight and lower material cost.

[0109] In the specific usage process, the bent section 733 of the conductive connector 700 in the foregoing embodiment abuts against the second conductive sheet 125. The first conductive sheet 124 is fixedly connected to the insulating member 110. The second conductive sheet 125 is in physical contact with the elastic sheet 730 by contacting the bent section 733 of the conductive connector 700, so that the elastic sheet 730 is extruded. The elastic sheet 730 is deformed, realizing the extrusion connection between the second conductive sheet 125 and the conductive connector 700. The first substrate 710 of the conductive connector 700 is connected to the second circuit board 200 through its back surface, ensuring the stable electrical connection between the circuit system and the touch pressing component. The bent section 733 of the elastic sheet 730 of the conductive connector 700 abuts against the second conductive sheet 125 of the conductive sheet 120. Under the pressing of the second conductive sheet 125, the elastic sheet 730 will be further deformed relative to its initial state when not installed. The first limiting portion 740 and the second limiting portion 750 are separated, realizing the stable connection between the elastic sheet 730 and the second conductive sheet 125. The conductive connector 700 realizes the connection between the conductive sheet 120 and the second circuit board 200 of the internal circuit system of the electronic device, and can transmit the touch electrical signal under the touch function to the circuit system of the electronic device.

[0110] The design of the conductive connector 700 enables the elastic sheet 730 to obtain a stable electrical connection only by slightly deforming and adjusting it during the installation process. The amount of deformation adjustment during the installation process is smaller, reducing the operation steps that require a large amount of deformation in the traditional technology, making the installation process simpler and more efficient.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 6 - 8 , Figures 10 - 13As shown, a positioning protrusion 119 is formed on one side of the insulating member 110 facing the first conductive sheet 124, and a second through hole 126 that is matingly connected to the positioning protrusion 119 is provided on the first conductive sheet 124. The cooperation between the positioning protrusion 119 and the second through hole 126 is used to ensure quick positioning when the conductive sheet 120 is assembled to the insulating member 110, avoiding deviation or misalignment. The specific installation steps can be as follows: First, slip the second through hole 126 over the positioning protrusion 119 to ensure that the surface of the conductive sheet 120 is in contact with the insulating member 110. Through this cooperation, the second through hole 126 of the conductive sheet 120 is accurately positioned at a predetermined position on the insulating member 110 during preliminary assembly; then, after ensuring that the second through hole 126 is slipped over the positioning protrusion 119, gently rotate the first conductive sheet 124 around the positioning protrusion 119 until the first through hole 122 is aligned with the second installation groove 113. At this time, the conductive sheet 120 is in the correct angle and position, preparing for the subsequent fixing step; finally, when the first through hole 122 is aligned with the second installation groove 113, insert the conductive post 152 into the first through hole 122 and the second installation groove 113, and screw the conductive post 152 into the second installation groove 113 by screwing to complete the firm fixation of the conductive sheet 120.

[0112] Through the cooperation between the positioning protrusion 119 and the second through hole 126, it is possible to assist in accurately fixing the conductive sheet 120 at a predetermined position during the installation process, avoiding deviation during assembly, and improving the assembly accuracy. This design can accurately dock the conductive sheet 120 to the correct position through a simple rotation operation, without the need for complex adjustment or additional tools, reducing the positional error in the adjustment and inspection during the assembly process, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency. The cooperation between the positioning protrusion 119 and the second through hole 126 not only ensures accurate initial positioning but also enables the conductive sheet 120 to achieve a double-point fixing effect through the positioning protrusion 119 and the conductive post 152 after installation, enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0113] The embodiment of the present application also correspondingly protects a wearable electronic device, which includes the touch and press component provided in the foregoing embodiment of the present application.

[0114] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, the main structure of the wearable electronic device further includes a middle frame 300, a bottom case 400, a first circuit board 500, and a switch member 160.

[0115] In a wearable electronic device, a button hole 310 penetrating the inner and outer sides of a middle frame 300 is formed in the middle frame 300; a bottom case 400 is fixed to one side of the middle frame 300 in the thickness direction, and a fixing seat 410 located inside the middle frame 300 and facing the button hole 310 is provided on the bottom case 400; a first circuit board 500 is disposed between the fixing seat 410 and a switch member 160; the switch member 160 is connected to the first circuit board 500; a touch and press assembly is installed in the button hole 310 and configured to trigger the switch member 160 by pressing the touch and press assembly.

[0116] The middle frame 300 serves as the external frame structure of the electronic device, and the bottom case 400 is connected to the middle frame 300 and closes the back of the electronic device. The middle frame 300 and the bottom case 400 together carry various internal components of the wearable electronic device and provide support to protect the internal circuit and components. A button hole 310 penetrating the inner and outer sides is formed in the middle frame 300 for accommodating and fixing the press assembly. The shape and size of the button hole 310 are determined according to the design requirements of the press assembly to ensure that the press assembly can be smoothly installed and fixed and adapt to the pressing action.

[0117] The first circuit board 500 is disposed on the fixing seat 410, and the switch member 160 is connected to the first circuit board 500. The switch member 160 is a key component in the electronic device for receiving physical pressing and transmitting an electrical signal to the first circuit board 500 after being pressed and triggered. Since the fixing seat 410 is integrated on the bottom case 400 and directly connected to the first circuit board 500, the fixing of the switch member 160 becomes more simple and firm. The touch and press assembly is installed in the button hole 310. When the user presses the press assembly, through partial mechanical actions, the switch member 160 is finally triggered by pressing. In this design, the first circuit board 500 is disposed between the fixing seat 410 and the switch member 160. The side of the switch member 160 directly subjected to physical pressing by the press assembly is set as the front of the switch member 160. An electrical connection can be formed between the first circuit board and the back of the switch member 160 through the back of the switch member 160 as a connection contact. Since the first circuit board 500 is sandwiched between the fixing seat 410 and the back of the switch member 160, after the front of the switch member 160 is physically pressed by the press assembly, the first circuit board 500 is squeezed and will form a more stable contact connection with the switch member 160. Compared with leading out connection contacts from the side of the switch member to connect with the circuit board, there is no need to set up relevant elastic conductive structures for transitional connection, which simplifies the product structure and reduces the processing and assembly costs.

[0118] In addition, in related technologies, there is a related solution in which both the fixed seat and the switch component are integrated on the touch and press component, and the first circuit board is sandwiched between the back surfaces of the fixed seat and the switch component. Although it can also achieve the effect of stable connection between the first circuit board and the switch component under frequent pressure, it makes the structure of the touch and press component too complex, and the connection position and connection method of the switch component and the first circuit board are limited by the specific structure of the press component, which has an adverse impact. In this application, by setting the fixed seat on the bottom case, the internal space of the electronic device and the laying requirements of the first circuit board in the electronic device can be fully utilized, the position of the fixed seat can be reasonably set, and the structure of the touch and press component will not be overly complicated.

[0119] In some embodiments, the bottom case 400 and the fixed seat 410 are integrally formed. The fixed seat 410 is located inside the middle frame 300 and is directly opposite to the key hole 310. The fixed seat 410 is manufactured by an integrally formed method, which ensures the structural stability, reduces the number of components, and avoids the need for an additional switch fixing bracket in the traditional design. Therefore, this design simplifies the production process and reduces the processing and assembly costs.

[0120] In summary, in the above embodiments of this application, by integrally forming the fixed seat 410 on the bottom case 400, there is no need to additionally design an independent fixing bracket to fix the switch component 160. On the one hand, it effectively simplifies the overall structure of the electronic device, reduces the number of components, and the simplified structural design further reduces the processes and assembly steps required in the production process, reducing the production cost and assembly difficulty. On the other hand, the integrally formed fixed seat 410 provides stable support, avoiding problems such as loosening or wear that may be caused by unstable assembly of the switch fixing bracket in the traditional design. It is particularly suitable for modern consumer electronic devices, especially products such as smart watches that have high requirements for miniaturization and thinness.

[0121] Preferably, the switch element 160 is bonded to the first circuit board 500 by SMT process. SMT process is used to directly bond electronic components to the surface of the circuit board, rather than connecting them by the traditional pin insertion hole method. The application of SMT process can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce space occupation, and more accurately control the connection quality during the manufacturing process. Bonding the switch element 160 to the first circuit board 500 by SMT process can achieve high-precision bonding, reduce human errors, and greatly improve the bonding efficiency due to the use of automated equipment. The switch element 160 in the traditional process may need to be inserted into the circuit board or other connection methods by pins, which will take up more board space. Using SMT process, the switch element 160 is directly bonded to the surface of the circuit board, which not only improves space utilization, but also makes the overall design of the circuit board more compact, adapting to the needs of increasingly miniaturized and thin electronic devices. The automation and precision of SMT process are high, and the bonding process is more stable and reliable. In the process, high-temperature welding (such as reflow soldering) can ensure that the connection between the switch element 160 and the first circuit board 500 is stable and durable. This firm connection can effectively reduce the problem of the switch 160 falling off or having poor contact during use, thereby improving the long-term stability of the product.

[0122] The steps of attaching the switch component 160 to the first circuit board 500 through the SMT process can refer to the following records: First, the switch component 160 is pre-processed to adapt to the SMT process, and the back contact surface of the switch component 160 can be coated with a layer of solderable material to ensure the welding quality; then the switch component 160 is accurately mounted on the specified position of the first circuit board 500 using the SMT equipment. The SMT equipment uses surface mounting technology to accurately position and weld components, and the switch component 160 will be directly attached to the surface of the first circuit board 500; then the back pad of the switch component 160 is connected to the pad on the first circuit board 500 through the reflow soldering process. During the reflow soldering process, the soldering material is heated and melted to form a reliable electrical connection; finally, after the mounting and welding are completed, visual inspection and electrical testing are performed to ensure that the connection between the switch component 160 and the first circuit board 500 is good and there are no welding defects or poor contact.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first circuit board 500 is a flexible circuit board. Flexible circuit boards have good flexibility and bendability, and are suitable for electronic devices that require higher integration and compact design. However, due to the thinness and flexibility of flexible circuit boards, they may bend and deform to a certain extent when subjected to external stress and physical pressure, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the circuit. In order to overcome this problem, the stability and durability of the product are further optimized, such as Figure 2 and 6As shown, this embodiment provides a reinforcement design, that is, a reinforcement plate 600 is arranged between the first circuit board 500 and the fixing seat 410 .

[0124] The reinforcing plate 600 is usually made of a material with high rigidity (such as metal or hard plastic) and has sufficient rigidity and strength to prevent the flexible circuit board from being affected in electrical performance or damaged due to pressure or bending deformation during long-term use. The design of the reinforcing plate 600 can be customized according to the specific shape, size and installation space requirements of the first circuit board 500. The reinforcing plate 600 and the first circuit board 500 are installed in a close-fitting manner so that a support structure is formed between the reinforcing plate 600 and the flexible circuit board to ensure that the flexible circuit board remains flat under the action of external forces and reduce poor contact or breakage caused by bending or pressure. The reinforcing plate 600 effectively enhances the rigidity of the flexible circuit board, prevents damage to the circuit board or poor connection due to bending or external forces during use, and improves the reliability of the first circuit board 500.

[0125] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the fixing seat 410 includes a first vertical plate 411 and a second vertical plate 412 connected vertically, the first vertical plate 411 is arranged opposite to the button hole 310, the surface of the reinforcing plate 600 away from the touch pressing component is connected to the first vertical plate 411, and the reinforcing plate 600 and one side of the first circuit board 500 are in contact with the second vertical plate 412. Specifically, the first vertical plate 411 is arranged opposite to the button hole 310, in order to provide a stable supporting surface for the touch pressing component. The position and shape of the button hole 310 are precisely designed to ensure that the pressing component can accurately dock with the switch 160 and trigger the corresponding signal after assembly. The fitting connection between the reinforcing plate 600 and the first vertical plate 411 is the key to achieving structural stability. One side of the reinforcing plate 600 is fitted and connected to the first vertical plate 411, and the other side of the reinforcing plate 600 is tightly fitted with the first circuit board 500. In this way, the reinforcing plate 600 is supported by the first vertical plate 411, avoiding deformation or stress concentration that may occur in the flexible circuit board during use. This combination not only increases the mechanical strength of the first circuit board 500, but also prevents poor contact caused by long-term pressure or vibration.

[0126] During the operation of the touch and press component, when the user presses the touch and press component, the generated pressing force directly acts on the switch 160 through the touch and press component, and then is transmitted to the first vertical plate 411 through the first circuit board 500 and the reinforcement plate 600. The first vertical plate 411 becomes the final pressure-bearing structure and bears all the pressure from the touch and press component. Therefore, the first vertical plate 411 must have sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure that it will not deform or be damaged during the pressing process. The second vertical plate 412 is perpendicularly connected to the first vertical plate 411. This perpendicular connection structure design greatly enhances the mechanical stability of the first vertical plate 411 when bearing the pressing force. Specifically, the bottom case 400, the first vertical plate 411, and the second vertical plate 412 form a spatially stable three-dimensional structure through a pairwise orthogonal structure form. This structure can effectively bear the impact force from the touch and press component, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity.

[0127] Another function of the second vertical plate 412 is to provide an additional positioning surface for the reinforcement plate 600 and the first circuit board 500, so that the thickness sides of the reinforcement plate 600 and the first circuit board 500 can stably abut against the second vertical plate 412. The position of the reinforcement plate 600 and the first circuit board 500 in the direction perpendicular to the second vertical plate 412 is positioned through the second vertical plate 412. Through the perpendicular connection of the first vertical plate 411 and the second vertical plate 412, the entire fixing seat 410 can position the reinforcement plate 600 and the first circuit board 500 in the directions perpendicular to the first vertical plate 411 and perpendicular to the second vertical plate 412, improving the assembly efficiency of the component, making the assembly more accurate, greatly simplifying the traditional complex assembly process, and improving the production efficiency.

[0128] In some embodiments, the insulating member 110 is embedded in the keyhole 310 and fixedly connected to the middle frame 300. The fixation of the insulating member 110 to the middle frame 300 improves the connection stability and sealing effect. The middle frame 300 is the main support structure of the electronic device. Its fixed connection with the insulating member 110 ensures the stability of the pressing component. During the operation of the key 130, the insulating member 110, as a load-bearing structure, can effectively disperse some of the pressure it bears to the middle frame 300. Since the insulating member 110 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 300, the sealing effect at the connection is enhanced, preventing external dust, moisture, etc. from entering the internal part of the wearable electronic device through the gap between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, which helps to improve the protection ability of the wearable electronic device, especially in terms of water tightness and dust tightness, ensuring that the device can work stably under different environmental conditions and improving the durability and reliability of the entire electronic device.

[0129] In some embodiments, the insulating member 110 is adhesively fixed in the key hole 310 of the middle frame 300 through a dispensing process. This dispensing process forms a firm connection between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300 by applying glue at the interface where the insulating member 110 contacts the middle frame 300. The dispensing process is characterized by simple operation and high efficiency, and can ensure the sealing and stability between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300. In addition, the choice of glue can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the electronic device to ensure that it is not prone to aging or falling off during long-term use.

[0130] The dispensing process does not require complex mechanical connections or additional fasteners, can achieve a stable connection in a short time, reduces the labor cost and assembly cycle in the production process. By dispensing and fixing, a thin and uniform sealing glue layer can be formed on the contact surface between the insulating member 110 and the key hole 310, further enhancing the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the electronic device. Especially when used in harsh environments, it can prevent dust and moisture from entering the device interior. The dispensing process can provide sufficient adhesive force to ensure the firm fixation between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, avoid loosening or displacement during use, and improve the stability and reliability of the device. The glue will be evenly distributed on the contact surface between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300 during dispensing, which helps to disperse the pressure generated during the operation of the key 130, reduce local stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the key 130.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figures 11 - 12 shown, the key hole 310 includes a first hole section 311 close to the inner side and a second hole section 312 close to the outer side. The cross-section of the first hole section 311 is smaller than that of the second hole section 312, and a first abutting surface 313 facing outward is formed between the first hole section 311 and the second hole section 312; the insulating member 110 includes a first bracket section 116 adapted to the first hole section 311 and a second bracket section 117 adapted to the second hole section 312. A second abutting surface 118 facing the first abutting surface 313 is formed between the first bracket section 116 and the second bracket section 117. In the state where the insulating member 110 is fitted and embedded in the key hole 310, the first abutting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 118 are in abutting cooperation.

[0132] When the first support section 116 and the second support section 117 of the insulating member 110 are precisely adapted to the first hole section 311 and the second hole section 312 of the keyhole 310 respectively, the first abutting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 118 cooperate with each other, thus ensuring a tight connection between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, effectively avoiding problems such as loosening or misalignment during the assembly process, and improving the connection stability. The mating design formed by the first abutting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 118 can automatically complete the positioning when the insulating member 110 is installed into the keyhole 310, without the need for additional fixing parts or complex assembly operations. In this way, the installation of the insulating member 110 is more convenient, avoiding errors or position offsets that may occur in the traditional installation method, and improving the overall assembly efficiency compared with the traditional manual positioning and alignment process. Through the surface contact and cooperation of the first abutting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 118 of the insulating member 110, the impact force during the pressing of the key 130 is effectively dispersed, reducing the loosening or deformation of the insulating member 110 caused by force concentration, and enhancing the durability and stability of the overall structure.

[0133] During the actual assembly process, first insert one end of the first support section 116 of the insulating member 110 from the outside of the keyhole 310. When the insulating member 110 is completely inserted into the keyhole 310, the first abutting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 118 abut against each other, and at this time, the precise positioning between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300 is completed. During this process, the abutting surfaces help the insulating member 110 to be stably positioned in the middle frame 300 through contact and cooperation, avoiding possible position deviations or loosening during the assembly process, and ensuring a firm connection between the insulating member 110 and the keyhole 310.

[0134] Based on the above embodiments, one end of the second bracket section 117 is connected to the outer contour of one end of the first bracket section 116, and a glue dispensing section 1171 is formed by concave-convex matching. When the insulating member 110 is fitted and embedded into the key hole 310, a glue dispensing groove 170 is formed by enclosing the glue dispensing section 1171, the first abutting surface 313, and the inner wall of the second hole section 312. By designing the glue dispensing section 1171 to cooperate with the insulating member 110 to form the glue dispensing groove 170, the glue dispensing material can be effectively accommodated, so as to ensure that the glue can be distributed more accurately and evenly in the area where the insulating member 110 contacts the key hole 310 during the glue dispensing process. The arrangement of the glue dispensing section 1171 and the glue dispensing groove 170 effectively enhances the bonding firmness between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, and avoids loosening or separation caused by uneven glue dispensing or insecure bonding. In traditional assembly, the glue dispensing process requires additional tools or complex operations. By designing the glue dispensing section 1171 on the insulating member 110 and forming the glue dispensing groove 170, the glue dispensing process can be made more automated and simpler. The operator only needs to pre-place the glue dispensing material in the glue dispensing section 1171, without precise alignment and manual application, thus improving the assembly efficiency. The glue bonding provided by the glue dispensing section 1171 and the glue dispensing groove 170 not only enhances the connection strength between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, but also can effectively absorb the impact force generated during the pressing process, reduce local damage caused by force concentration, and improve the impact resistance of the product during use.

[0135] The specific assembly process can be exemplified as follows: First, an appropriate amount of glue dispensing material is applied to the glue dispensing section 1171 area of the insulating member 110; then the glue-dispensed insulating member 110 is inserted into the key hole 310. At this time, a glue dispensing groove 170 is formed between the glue dispensing section 1171 of the insulating member 110 and the inner wall of the second hole section 312 and the first abutting surface 313 in the key hole 310, and the glue in the glue dispensing groove 170 is pressed tightly during this process to form a firm bonding force; after the glue dispensing is completed and the insulating member 110 is installed, wait for the glue to cure. During the curing process, a long-term bonding force is formed between the contact surfaces of the glue, the insulating member 110, and the key hole 310, effectively enhancing the bonding strength between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300, thereby improving the impact resistance and service life of the entire device, especially suitable for use in environments with frequent pressing and collision. Through the design of the glue dispensing section 1171 and the glue dispensing groove 170, the need for other connection methods (such as screw fixation, etc.) is reduced, the production cost of the product is lowered, and the assembly process is simplified.

[0136] In some embodiments, the insulating member 110 is fixed within the keyhole 310 of the middle frame 300 through an injection molding process. The injection molding process involves injecting a plastic material into a mold and forming it within the mold, ultimately achieving a firm bond between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300. The injection molding process can efficiently and precisely manufacture components with complex shapes and precise dimensions, featuring high production efficiency and consistency. The injection molding process can precisely control the size and shape of the insulating member 110, ensuring a good fit between the insulating member 110 and the keyhole 310 of the middle frame 300 and preventing the key 130 from malfunctioning due to dimensional errors. After being formed by the injection molding process, the connection between the insulating member 110 and the middle frame 300 is more stable and firm, capable of effectively withstanding external impacts and pressures and avoiding loosening or detachment of the connection under frequent pressing operations. Different types of plastic materials can be selected in the injection molding process to meet the requirements of different electronic devices for strength, wear resistance, and waterproof performance. For example, using high-strength plastics can enhance the compressive capacity of the insulating member 110, while using flexible materials can improve the impact resistance and shock absorption capacity. The injection molding process is suitable for mass production and can produce a large number of insulating member 110 and middle frame 300 components of the same specifications in a short time, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the unit production cost.
