Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of spring contact technology, and in particular to a switching assembly and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and the continuous improvement of socio-economic levels, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets have long become indispensable necessities in people's daily lives. These electronic devices are deeply integrated into people's lives and work scenarios, not only providing great convenience for daily tasks and work collaboration, but also greatly enriching people's spiritual and cultural life. In order to facilitate the connection between the circuit board and electronic components of electronic devices, spring clips are usually used in electronic devices. One end of the spring clip is fixed to the circuit board of the electronic device, and the other end of the spring clip abuts against the electronic component, realizing the connection between the electronic device and the electronic component.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present invention, the inventors discovered that the current spring contacts are kept connected to the circuit board and electronic components, and the circuit is continuously conducting. It is not possible to control the spring contacts to achieve the connection and disconnection of the circuit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main technical problem solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a switching component, which aims to solve the problem that existing spring contacts cannot realize the switching function of control circuits.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a switch assembly, including a fixed bracket, a first spring and a second spring. The first spring includes a first mounting part and a pressing piece, one end of which is connected to the first mounting part. The first mounting part is mounted on the fixed bracket. The second spring includes a second mounting part and a contact piece, one end of which is connected to the second mounting part. The second mounting part is mounted on the fixed bracket.

[0007] Optionally, the first mounting part includes a first mounting base and two opposing first clamping arms. The two first clamping arms are mounted on both sides of the first mounting base and encircle a fixed post so that the two first clamping arms jointly clamp the fixed post.

[0008] Optionally, each of the first clamping arms is provided with a first guide portion, which is bent in a direction away from the other first clamping arm.

[0009] Optionally, the second mounting part includes a second mounting base and two opposing second clamping arms, the two second clamping arms being mounted on both sides of the second mounting base, and the two second clamping arms encircling the other fixed post so that the two second clamping arms jointly clamp the other fixed post.

[0010] Optionally, each of the second clamping arms is provided with a second guide portion, which is bent in a direction away from the other second clamping arm.

[0011] Optionally, each of the fixing posts has a boss at the other end away from the fixing plate; The first mounting part further includes a first limiting arm, which is fixed to the side of the first mounting base away from the second spring piece.

[0019] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The switch assembly 100 includes a fixed bracket 10, a first spring 20, and a second spring 30. The first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are respectively mounted on the fixed bracket 10. By pressing the first spring 20 in a first direction, the first spring 20 is elastically deformed toward the second spring 30. When the first spring 20 contacts the second spring 30, the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are connected. After the force pressing the first spring 20 is removed, the first spring 20 is reset, and the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are disconnected. Therefore, the circuit can be controlled by controlling the switch assembly 100 to control the on and off of the circuit.

[0022] It is understood that the fixing bracket 10 is made of insulating material and does not have conductive properties. The first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are made of conductive material. Therefore, there is no electrical conductivity between the fixing bracket 10 and the first spring 20 and the second spring 30. When the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are in contact, the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are conductive.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are made of a metal material. The metal material has the property of elastic deformation and excellent electrical conductivity, so that when the first spring 20 is subjected to pressure along the first direction, it undergoes elastic deformation toward the second spring 30, and after the pressure is removed, the first spring 20 returns to its original position.

[0024] It should be noted that the first direction is the z-direction, the second direction is the y-direction, and the third direction is the x-direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] For the aforementioned fixing bracket 10, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5The fixed bracket 10 includes a fixed plate 11, two fixed posts 12, and a limiting member 13. The two fixed posts 12 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the fixed plate 11. Each fixed post 12 has a boss 121 at one end away from the fixed plate 11. The fixed post 12 is used to install the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 on the fixed bracket 10. The boss 121 limits the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 in a second direction. The limiting member 13 includes a limiting post 132 and a mounting post 131. The mounting post 131 is fixed to the fixed plate 11 along the first direction. The limiting post 132 is vertically fixed to the mounting post 131 along the second direction. The limiting post 132 is located above the second spring 30 along the first direction and does not coincide with the first spring 20 along the first direction. The limiting post 132 is used to prevent other electronic components from accidentally touching the second spring 30 and to ensure that the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 can only be contacted by pressing the first spring 20 to control the conduction and cutoff of the circuit.

[0026] In some embodiments, the limiting member 13 may be L-shaped, that is, the limiting post 132 is fixed to one end of the mounting post 131. The limiting member 13 may also be T-shaped, that is, the limiting post 132 is fixed to the middle section of the mounting post 131, so that the limiting post is located above the second spring piece along the first direction.

[0027] In some embodiments, the corners of the fixing post 12 are rounded to form a smooth arc surface, which can reduce the friction when the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are installed on the fixing post 12 and avoid wear on the first spring 20 and the second spring 30.

[0028] For the first fragment 20 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first spring 20 includes a first mounting part 21 and a pressing piece 22. One end of the pressing piece 22 is connected to the first mounting part 21. The first mounting part 21 includes a first mounting base 211, two opposing first clamping arms 212, a first abutment 213, and a first limiting arm 214. The two first clamping arms 212 are mounted on both sides of the first mounting base 211. The first abutment 213 and the first limiting arm 214 are mounted on both sides of the first mounting base 211. The first limiting arm 214 is fixed to the side of the first mounting base 211 away from the second spring 30. The first limiting arm 214 and the first clamping arm 212 are sequentially arranged on the first mounting base 211 along the second direction. Each first clamping arm 212 is provided with a first guide portion 2121, which bends away from the other second clamping arm 312. When the first spring piece 20 is installed on the fixed bracket 10, the first guide portion 2121 guides the first mounting portion 21 to be installed on the fixed post 12. The two first clamping arms 212 encircle the fixed post 12, and the first mounting seat 211 abuts against the fixed post 12 to limit the first mounting portion 21 in the first direction and the third direction. The first limiting arm 214 abuts against the boss 121 to limit the first spring piece 20 in the second direction. One end of the pressing piece 22 is provided with a bent portion 221 at the end away from the first mounting portion 21. The bent portion 221 bends away from the abutting piece 32. When the pressing piece 22 is pressed in the first direction, the apex of the bent portion 221 abuts against the second spring piece 30.

[0029] For the second fragment 30 mentioned above, please refer to Figures 2 to 5The first spring 20 includes a second mounting part 31 and an abutment piece 32. One end of the abutment piece 32 is connected to the second mounting part 31. The second mounting part 31 includes a second mounting base 311, two opposing second clamping arms 312, a second abutment plate 313, and a second limiting arm 314. The two second clamping arms 312 are mounted on both sides of the second mounting base 311. The second abutment plate 313 and the second limiting arm 314 are mounted on both sides of the second mounting base 311. The second limiting arm 314 is fixed to the side of the second mounting base 311 away from the second spring 30. The second limiting arm 314 and the second clamping arm 312 are sequentially arranged on the second mounting base 311 along the second direction. Each second clamping arm 312 is provided with a second guide portion 3121, which bends away from the other second clamping arm 312. When the second spring piece 30 is installed on the fixed bracket 10, the second guide portion 3121 guides the second mounting portion 31 to be installed on the fixed post 12. The two second clamping arms 312 encircle the fixed post 12, and the second mounting seat 311 abuts against the fixed post 12 to limit the second mounting portion 31 in the first direction and the third direction. The second limiting arm 314 abuts against the boss 121 to limit the second spring piece 30 in the second direction. The end of the abutment piece 32 away from the second mounting portion 31 extends in the third direction. The pressing piece 22 and the abutment piece 32 are arranged at intervals relative to each other in the first direction. The limiting post 132 is located above the abutment piece 32 in the first direction, and the limiting post 132 does not coincide with the pressing piece 22 in the first direction.

[0030] To facilitate the reader's understanding of the present invention, the assembly process of the switch assembly 100 of the present invention is described below: First, fix the two fixing posts 12 to the two sides of the fixing plate 11, and fix the mounting post 131 of the limiting member 13 to the surface of the fixing plate 11 along the first direction. Next, the two first clamping arms 212 are fixed relative to each other on both sides of the first mounting base 211, and the first limiting arm 214 and the first abutment 213 are fixed relative to each other on both sides of the first mounting base 211. A fixing post 12 is inserted between the two clamping arms through the first guide part 2121 to limit the first mounting part 21 in a third direction. The first mounting base 211 abuts against the fixing post 12 to limit the first mounting part 21 in a first direction. The boss 121 abuts against the first limiting arm 214 to limit the first mounting part 21 in a second direction, thus completing the installation of the first spring piece 20 onto the fixing post 12. Two second clamping arms 312 are fixed relative to each other on both sides of the second mounting base 311. The second limiting arm 314 and the second abutment 313 are fixed relative to each other on both sides of the second mounting base 311. Another fixing post 12 is inserted between the two clamping arms through the second guide part 3121 to limit the second mounting part 31 in the third direction. The second mounting base 311 abuts against the fixing post 12 to limit the second mounting part 31 in the first direction. The boss 121 abuts against the second limiting arm 314 to limit the second mounting part 31 in the second direction. The abutment piece 32 is positioned below the pressing piece 22 in the first direction, thus completing the installation of the second spring piece 30 on a fixing post 12. Finally, the limiting post 132 is vertically fixed to the mounting post 131 along the second direction, so that the limiting post 132 is positioned above the abutment piece 32 along the first direction, and the limiting post 132 does not coincide with the pressing piece 22 along the first direction, thus completing the installation of the switch assembly 100.

[0031] When force is applied to the pressing piece 22 in the first direction, the pressing piece 22 undergoes elastic deformation toward the abutting piece 32. When the pressing piece 22 abuts against the abutting piece 32, the first spring piece 20 and the second spring piece 30 are connected. After the force applied to the pressing piece 22 is removed, the pressing piece 22 is reset, and the first spring piece 20 and the second spring piece 30 are disconnected. By controlling the contact state of the first spring piece 20 and the second spring piece 30, the circuit is controlled to be turned on and off, thereby realizing the switching function of the switch assembly 100.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the switch assembly 100 includes a fixed bracket 10, a first spring 20, and a second spring 30. The first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are respectively mounted on the fixed bracket 10. The first spring 20 includes a pressing piece 22, and the second spring 30 includes an abutting piece 32. The pressing piece 22 and the abutting piece 32 are spaced apart along a first direction. When the pressing piece 22 is subjected to a pressing force along the first direction, the pressing piece 22 elastically deforms toward the abutting piece 32. When the pressing piece 22 abuts against the abutting piece 32, the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are connected. When the pressing force on the pressing piece 22 is removed, the pressing piece 22 resets, and the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are disconnected. The switch assembly 100 can control the circuit to be connected and disconnected.

[0033] This invention provides an embodiment of an electronic device (not shown). The electronic device includes a circuit board (not shown), electronic components (not shown), and the aforementioned switch assembly 100. A first spring 20 is connected to the circuit board, and a second spring 30 is connected to the electronic components. When the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are in contact, the circuit board and the electronic components are connected. When the first spring 20 and the second spring 30 are not in contact, the circuit board and the electronic components are not connected. The structure and function of the switch assembly 100 can be referred to the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
