[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a pressing structure, including a base 100, a substrate 200, a connecting member 300, a button 400 and a pressing member 500.

[0045] The substrate 200 is disposed on one side of the base 100 . When the substrate 200 is pressed, the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100 .

[0046] The first end of the connecting member 300 is connected to the substrate 200, and the second end of the connecting member 300 is connected to the base 100. The connecting member 300 forms an air-avoiding cavity 600 between the substrate 200 and the base 100, and when the substrate 200 is subjected to pressing force, the connecting member 300 can undergo elastic deformation so that the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100 when subjected to pressing force, and after the pressing force is removed, the connecting member 300 can restore the substrate 200 to its initial position.

[0047] It should be noted that the elastic deformation of the connecting member 300 specifically means that when the substrate 200 is subjected to a pressing force, the connecting member 300 itself can undergo a certain elastic deformation, or the connecting portion between the connecting member 300 and the substrate 200 can undergo a certain elastic deformation, or the connecting portion between the connecting member 300 and the base 100 can undergo a certain elastic deformation. In this way, the movement of the substrate 200 will not be restricted, so that the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100. When the pressing force on the substrate 200 is removed, the connecting member 300 itself, or the connecting portion between the connecting member 300 and the substrate 200, or the connecting portion between the connecting member 300 and the base 100 can return to the initial state, thereby driving the substrate 200 to return to its initial position, that is, the substrate 200 moves in the direction away from the base 100 under the action of the connecting member 300 to return to its initial position.

[0048] The button 400 is disposed on the base 100 and is located in the cavity 600 .

[0049] The pressing member 500 is disposed on a side of the substrate 200 close to the base 100 and corresponds to the button 400 . When the substrate 200 moves toward the base 100 , the pressing member 500 presses the button 400 .

[0050] When pressing, pressing force is applied to the substrate 200, and the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100 under the action of the deformation of the connecting member 300, and then the substrate 200 can drive the pressing member 500 to move toward the direction close to the base 100. During the movement of the pressing member 500, the pressing member 500 can press the button 400 on the base 100. When the pressing force is cancelled, the substrate 200 can drive the pressing member 500 to restore the initial position.

[0051] That is to say, in the pressing structure of the present application, a connecting member 300 is arranged between the substrate 200 and the base 100, and the connecting member 300 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to pressing force. The connecting member 300 enables a cavity 600 to be formed between the substrate 200 and the base 100, and the button 400 can be located in the cavity 600 and arranged on the base 100. In this way, a pressing member 500 is arranged on the side of the substrate 200 close to the base 100. When the substrate 200 moves toward the base 100, the pressing member 500 can press the button 400, and after the pressing member 500 presses the button 400, the substrate 200 can return to its original position under the action of the connecting member 300, so that the substrate 200 can return to its original position after the button 400 is pressed.

[0052] Compared with the pressing structure with a "seesaw" structure currently on the market, the pressing structure of the present application provides a better user experience and is more suitable for high-end smart homes.

[0053] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the connector 300 may include a first connector portion 310 and a second connector portion 320 connected to each other, and an angle is formed between the first connector portion 310 and the second connector portion 320, the end of the first connector portion 310 away from the second connector portion 320 is connected to the substrate 200, the connection portion between the first connector portion 310 and the substrate 200 can undergo elastic deformation, and / or the connection portion between the first connector portion 310 and the second connector portion 320 can undergo elastic deformation, and the end of the second connector portion 320 away from the first connector portion 310 is connected to the base 100.

[0054] Specifically, when the substrate 200 is subjected to pressure, the connection portion between the first connection portion 310 and the substrate 200 can undergo elastic deformation, and / or the connection portion between the first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 can undergo elastic deformation, so that the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100.

[0055] In addition, since an angle is formed between the first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 , it is beneficial to form a cavity 600 between the substrate 200 and the base 100 through the first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 , and it can also increase the moving stroke of the substrate 200 to a certain extent.

[0056] In some embodiments, the angle between the first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 may be 30°, 60°, or 90°, etc., without limitation.

[0057] Furthermore, a void hole 210 may be provided on the substrate 200 , and at least one side of the first connection portion 310 close to the second connection portion 320 can move in the void hole 210 .

[0058] When the substrate 200 is subjected to pressure, if the connection portion between the first connection portion 310 and the substrate 200 can undergo elastic deformation, the end of the first connection portion 310 away from the connection with the substrate 200 will move in a direction away from the base 100. At this time, the air avoidance hole 210 can avoid the moving portion of the first connection portion 310, thereby preventing the first connection portion 310 from interfering with the substrate 200 during movement, and at the same time can also increase the moving stroke of the substrate 200.

[0059] Furthermore, the first connection part 310 can be located in the air avoidance hole 210, and one end of the first connection part 310 away from the second connection part 320 is connected to the side wall of the air avoidance hole 210. This method is conducive to elastic deformation of the connection part between the first connection part 310 and the substrate 200, and is also conducive to the movement of the first connection part 310 in the air avoidance hole 210.

[0060] Preferably, the first connection portion 310 and the substrate 200 are integrally formed, which not only facilitates the connection between the first connection portion 310 and the substrate 200 , but also prevents the connection between the first connection portion 310 and the substrate 200 from being broken due to pressure.

[0061] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a plurality of connectors 300 may be provided, and the plurality of connectors 300 are spaced apart around the substrate 200 , and the plurality of connectors 300 provide stable support for the substrate 200 .

[0062] It can be understood that, since the air-avoiding cavity 600 is formed between the substrate 200 and the base 100 , the plurality of connectors 300 support the substrate 200 , thereby ensuring the stability of the substrate 200 being disposed on the base 100 via the connectors 300 .

[0063] Furthermore, the connecting member 300 can be arranged close to the edge of the substrate 200. In this way, when the user only needs to apply pressing force to the edge of the substrate 200, the substrate 200 can move toward the direction close to the base 100 under the action of the connecting member 300 corresponding to the force-bearing part, and the part of the substrate 200 that moves is only the force-bearing part of the substrate 200, and there is no need to move the entire substrate 200 toward the direction close to the base 100.

[0064] It can be understood that when the substrate 200 is subjected to pressing force, the elastic deformation of the connecting member 300 enables the substrate 200 to move toward the direction close to the base 100. Therefore, when a plurality of connecting members 300 are arranged at intervals around the substrate 200 and the connecting members 300 are close to the edge of the substrate 200, it means that each connecting member 300 corresponds to an area of ​​the substrate 200. Therefore, by pressing the edge of any area of ​​the substrate 200, the edge of the substrate 200 can move under the action of the corresponding connecting member 300.

[0065] Therefore, in order to improve the user's pressing experience and ensure that when pressing force is applied to the edge of the substrate 200, the pressing member 500 on the substrate 200 can press the button 400, the pressing member 500 can be set at a position close to the connecting member 300. In this way, during the deformation of the connecting member 300, the substrate 200 in the corresponding area of ​​the connecting member 300 can drive the pressing member 500 to press the button 400.

[0066] That is, when a pressing member 500 is provided on one side of each connecting member 300, and a button 400 is provided on the base 100 corresponding to each pressing member 500, the pressing structure can independently press multiple buttons 400. Therefore, when the pressing structure is applied to a switch, the switch can control multiple objects or multiple functions at the same time. For example, one button 400 can control one object such as one electronic device, multiple buttons 400 can control multiple electronic devices respectively, or one button 400 can correspond to one function, for example, one button 400 can control the volume, one button 400 can control the brightness, and so on.

[0067] It can be understood that since the multiple connecting parts 300 are arranged at intervals around the substrate 200, the position of each connecting part 300 on the substrate 200 can form an independently movable pressing area separately, that is, when one area of ​​the substrate 200 is pressed, it will not affect other areas of the substrate 200, that is, the other areas will not be displaced or basically will not be displaced. In this way, when the pressing part 500 is arranged on one side of the connecting part 300, the connecting part 300 that is elastically deformed by the pressing force can drive the substrate 200 in the area to move. At the same time, the pressing part 500 located on one side of the connecting part 300 can press the button 400 under the action of the substrate 200 in the area, thereby realizing independent pressing control of multiple areas on a substrate 200.

[0068] In addition, see Figure 3 The present application further provides a switch, comprising a PCB board 700 and the pressing structure in the above embodiment. The PCB board 700 is located in the cavity 600 and is arranged on the base 100, and the button 400 is arranged on the PCB board 700.

[0069] When the button 400 is pressed by the pressing member 500 , a signal can be transmitted to the PCB board 700 , and the PCB board 700 can control the electronic device.

[0070] Further, see Figure 2 A supporting member 330 may also be provided on the connecting member 300 . When the connecting member 300 is connected to the base 100 , the supporting member 330 presses the PCB board 700 against the base 100 , thereby fixing the PCB board 700 .

[0071] Specifically, the supporting member 330 can be arranged on one side of the second connecting portion 320 of the connecting member 300. When the second connecting portion 320 is connected to the base 100, the supporting member 330 located on one side of the second connecting portion 320 can press the PCB board 700 against the base 100.

[0072] See also Figure 3The switch may further include a panel 900, which may be disposed on the surface of the substrate 200 away from the base 100. For example, the panel 900 and the substrate 200 may be connected by double-sided adhesive, and a mark is disposed on the panel 900 corresponding to the position of the pressing member 500. In this way, when a plurality of pressing members 500 are disposed on the substrate 200, it is convenient for the user to select the corresponding pressing member 500 for pressing.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to make the switch have more control functions, the panel 900 may also include a rotating member 1000, which is arranged on the base 100 and can rotate relative to the base 100. A through hole is provided on the rotating member 1000, and the substrate 200 and the panel 900 are located in the through hole. When the rotating member 1000 rotates relative to the base 100, interference with the substrate 200 and the panel 900 is avoided.

[0074] Furthermore, a detection switch 1100 may be provided on the PCB board 700, and a toggle member 1200 may be provided on the side wall of the rotating member 1000 located on one side of the through hole. When the rotating member 1000 rotates, the toggle member 1200 toggles the detection switch 1100, so that the rotating member 1000 can generate a corresponding control signal when it rotates. For example, when the rotating member 1000 rotates, the switch can adjust the volume or brightness.

[0075] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of some utility models should be included in the protection scope of some utility models.
