[0045] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0046] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a touch button comprises a main body 1 and an upper cover 2 axially movably mounted on the main body 1;
[0047] The main body 1 includes a housing 3, a power supply, a main control board 4 and a speaker 5. The main control board 4 is disposed in the housing 3 and is electrically connected to the power supply (not shown in the power supply diagram), and the power supply is used to supply power to the main control board 4. The speaker 5 is electrically connected to the main control board 4, and a button 6 is provided on the main control board 4; wherein the main control board is a PCB board.
[0048] A pressing member 7 is disposed in the upper cover 2, and the pressing member 7 passes through the housing 3 and is disposed opposite to the button 6;
[0049] The main body 1 is provided with a restoring member 8, and the restoring member 8 provides a restoring force for the upper cover 2 to move away from the main body 1;
[0050] A touch copper foil 9 is also provided in the upper cover 2, and the touch copper foil 9 contacts the inner wall of the upper cover 2, and the touch copper foil 9 is connected to the main control board 4 via a circuit;
[0051] A switch 10 is also provided at the bottom of the main body 1. The switch 10 is electrically connected to the main control board 4. The switch 10 is configured to switch to the touch mode, or the key mode, or the touch mode and the key mode to work simultaneously, so that the main control board 4 controls the touch copper foil 9 to work alone, or the key 6 to work alone, or the touch copper foil and the key to work simultaneously. There are two working states. The first one is that the switch can control the touch copper foil or the key to work alone, that is, when the touch copper foil works, the key does not work; when the key works, the touch copper foil does not work. The second one is that the touch copper foil and the key work simultaneously.
[0052] Of course, the switch may also have an off mode. If switched to the off mode, the main control board may control the touch copper foil and the buttons to not work.
[0053] In this embodiment, the touch button has three modes as an example, one is the touch mode, one is the key mode, and the other is the off mode (of course, if the off mode is not set, there are only the touch mode and the key mode). The switching switch is used to switch between the three modes. Among them, in the utility model, the touch copper foil and the key cannot work at the same time. When the touch copper foil is working (taking the main control board as an example to supply power to the touch copper foil, the touch copper foil works at this time), the key does not work (there is no power between the main control board and the key, or after the key is triggered, the data signal is transmitted to the main control board, and the main control board does not feedback it, or other forms make the key not work); when the key is working, the touch copper foil does not work (that is, the main control board does not supply power to the touch copper foil).
[0054] Of course, as other embodiments, the touch button can have four modes, one is a touch mode, one is a key mode, one is a touch mode and a key mode turned on at the same time (i.e., the touch copper foil and the key work at the same time), and the other is an off mode. Of course, in the present invention, it is preferred to use a touch mode and a key mode to work separately, so as to prevent duplication of work.
[0055] Among them, in the utility model, the switching switch is set at the bottom of the main body, that is, at the bottom of the shell, and it has three positions (in this embodiment, the touch button has 3 modes as an example). Taking the horizontal setting as an example, when the switching switch is moved to the middle position, the touch button is switched to the off mode. At this time, the key and the touch copper foil do not work (the main control board does not supply power to the key and the touch copper foil, or other control methods control both to be inoperative). At this time, the touch button is in a closed state, and the touch button cannot be used. When the switching switch is moved to the left position, the touch button is in the touch mode, and when the switching switch is moved to the right position, the touch button is in the key mode (taking this as an example). If the off mode is not set, there are only touch mode and key mode. In this way, the switching switch has two positions. When the switching switch is moved to the left, it is switched to the touch mode. When the switching switch is moved to the right, it is switched to the key mode.
[0056] In actual use, when the switch is switched to touch mode, the button does not work (the button is triggered, and the main control board will not give feedback after the button is triggered). At this time, the main control board supplies power to the touch copper foil through the line, so that the touch copper foil is covered with weak current. When humans or pets touch the upper cover, the touch copper foil feels the change in current and voltage (the induction principle is capacitive induction. When the human body / pet approaches or touches the copper foil, a capacitive coupling system will be formed, and the capacitance value will change and be detected. The upper cover is preferably made of conductive material. Of course, when the thickness of the non-conductive material is appropriate, the capacitance change will still be detected. If the upper cover is made of non-conductive materials such as plastic and plastic, and the wall thickness is about 1-3mm, it can also be detected and will not affect touch sensing). It will transmit the signal to the main control board, the main control board processes the signal, and transmits the control signal to the speaker, controlling the speaker to amplify and play the pre-made audio in the main control board, that is, after the upper cover is touched, the speaker will emit a pre-made sound.
[0057] Furthermore, the touch copper foil is attached to the top inner wall of the upper cover. In this way, in the touch mode, when a human or pet touches the upper cover (touching the covered position of the copper foil, or touching the edge of the upper cover or other positions, only the position where the copper foil can sense the change of current and voltage is needed), the touch copper foil can accurately sense the change of current and voltage, so that the touch is accurate, and each touch can make the speaker sound.
[0058] When switched to the key mode, the copper foil touch does not work at this time, that is, when the upper cover is touched, the main control board will not control the speaker to sound. When the key mode is working, the upper cover is pressed down, so that the upper cover moves down, driving the pressing piece to move down close to the key at the same time, and against the key, pressing or triggering the key, at this time the key transmits the signal to the main control board, and after the main control board processes it, it transmits the control signal to the speaker, controlling the speaker to amplify and play the audio prefabricated in the main control board. When the pressure on the upper cover is released, the reset member gives the upper cover a thrust, so that the upper cover and the pressing piece move up, and the pressing piece is separated from the button. Among them, after the audio is played, if no button is triggered again, the speaker stops sounding, that is, press down once, the audio plays once, and keeps pressing down, and the audio will only be played once (of course, it can also be set to: after the button is pressed, the button is not restored, and the speaker will keep sounding. In this embodiment, it is preferred that after the button is triggered, the speaker stops sounding after the audio is played once).
[0059] Among them, when in touch mode (touch mode and key mode are both in separate working states), even if the upper cover is subjected to downward pressure to trigger the key, the key does not work and the speaker will not make any sound.
[0060] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a recording button 11 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 3, and the recording button 11 is electrically connected to the main control board 4; an audio receiving module (the audio receiving module is not shown) is provided on the main control board 4; and a recording hole 13 connected to the inside of the housing 3 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 3, and the recording hole 13 is arranged beside the recording button 11. Among them, the audio receiving module is a microphone head, that is, a microphone, which is arranged just above the recording hole and has a sound receiving function. In this way, when in use, the recording button can be directly pressed to activate the audio receiving module, and the sound of the pet, the pet owner or others can be recorded. In this way, when the touch button is used, the recorded sound can be played through the speaker. Among them, in this embodiment, an audio receiving module placement slot 12 is provided on the housing, so that the audio receiving module on the main control board can be placed in the audio receiving module placement slot, wherein the recording hole will be connected to the audio receiving module placement slot, so that when recording, the sound can be directly received by the audio receiving module.
[0061] In the utility model, compared with the pet slapping device in the previous structure, the learning cost of the pet and the educational cost of humans for the pet can be reduced, and it is easier for the pet to learn and understand the state of things corresponding to the button / sound, reducing the steps of the pet slapping hard, and using the touch method to make the pet easier to learn the expression of the button. And this scheme can guide the pet to press the button, by turning off the touch function and switching to the mechanical key function, to guide the pet to learn to press the button. So that the pet who contacts the product for the first time can gradually understand the communication method of pressing the button / sound. Secondly, the switching between touch and mechanical keys can also play the effect of training the intelligence of the pet. By increasing the difficulty of button / sound triggering, it can consume the energy of the pet and train the intelligence of the pet. And if the owner records his own voice, when the pet presses the button, it also has a certain soothing effect, increasing the interaction between people and pets. Then, the switching of the switch is also more friendly to humans. During sleep time or busy time, the button switches from touch mode to key mode (mechanical key), which can also reduce the disturbance of pets to humans. Or switch it to the off state so that the touch button stops working.
[0062] See also Figures 2 to 5 As shown, at least two male buckles 14 are provided on the outer wall of the shell 3, and female buckles 15 matching the male buckles 14 are provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 2. The bottom of the upper cover 2 is sleeved on the top outer side of the shell 3, and each female buckle 15 is arranged below the male buckle 14. The male buckle 14 and the female buckle 15 restrict the upper cover 2 from moving upward and separating from the main body 1.
[0063] In this embodiment, the upper cover is a hollow structure with a cavity at the bottom, and the top of the shell is inserted into the cavity of the upper cover. Since a reset member is provided, the reset member gives a reset force to the upper cover away from the main body, that is, the reset member gives an upward thrust to the upper cover, so that the upper cover is away from the main body. In order to limit the relative position of the upper cover and the shell and prevent the upper cover from being separated from the shell, a male buckle and a female buckle are provided, so that the female buckle is provided below the male buckle. When the reset member is in the restored state, it will push the upper cover to move upward, so that the top of the female buckle is against the bottom surface of the male buckle, thereby limiting the upper cover from continuing to move upward and preventing the upper cover from moving upward and separating from the shell. When the upper cover is subjected to downward pressure, the reset member will be compressed, so that the upper cover moves downward, and at the same time, the pressing member will be driven downward to press or trigger the button. The downward movement of the upper cover will be limited by the top of the shell and the reset member, thereby realizing the axial limit between the upper cover and the main body and preventing the upper cover from being separated from the main body. Preferably, in this embodiment, there is a notch 29 on the outer wall of the shell, one end of the male buckle is connected to the top or bottom of the notch (in this embodiment, it is connected to the bottom of the notch), and the other end of the male buckle has an outer protrusion, and the female buckle is arranged below the outer protrusion. When the upper cover and the shell are assembled, the upper cover is directly covered on the shell, and the female buckle is facing the outer protrusion, and then pressed down hard, the outer protrusion is squeezed by the female buckle, which will cause the top of the male buckle to elastically deform inward, and when the female buckle passes the outer protrusion, the male buckle returns to its original state. Among them, see Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcing rib 16 is further provided on the inner wall of the shell, one end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the inner wall of the male buckle, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the shell. By providing the reinforcing rib, the strength of the male buckle can be increased, making it less prone to damage, and the difficulty of removing the upper cover from the shell can be increased.
[0064] See also Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a slot 17 connected to the top of the shell 3 is provided on the outer wall of the shell 3, and an insert 18 movably inserted into the slot 17 is provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 2. When the upper cover 2 moves axially along the main body 1, the insert 18 moves along the slot 17, and the insert 18 and the slot 17 limit the circumferential rotation of the upper cover 2 and the shell 3.
[0065] In this embodiment, only male and female buckles are provided, which cannot limit the circumferential rotational freedom between the upper cover and the main body. Of course, if the upper cover and the main body are provided with special-shaped structures, they can play a limiting role. If the cross-section of the upper cover and the main body is circular, the circumferential rotational freedom cannot be limited, which will cause the upper cover to rotate relative to the main body when subjected to circumferential rotational force, so that the female buckle cannot be located below the male buckle, resulting in failure of the axial limit. Therefore, the role of the slot and the rib plays a role in guiding, installing and circumferentially limiting the vertical movement, so that the female buckle will always be located below the male buckle, and the male buckle and the female buckle limit the axial displacement of the upper cover and the main body.
[0066] Wherein, when the upper cover receives downward pressure and moves downward and compresses the reset member, the pressing member abuts against the button and presses or triggers the button;
[0067] When the reset member is restored, the upper cover is pushed to move upward, so that the pressing member is separated from the button.
[0068] See also Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the reset member includes at least one spring, the top of the spring abuts against the top surface inside the upper cover or against the bottom surface of the touch copper foil, and the bottom of the spring abuts against the top surface of the shell.
[0069] In this embodiment, the reset member uses 4 springs, and the four springs are arranged at intervals, or arranged in a ring shape, or arranged in other directions, so that the restoring force received by each position of the upper cover is uniform or as uniform as possible, so that when the upper cover recovers after being pressed, it can prevent the uneven force and jamming phenomenon. At the same time, in the key mode, the force required to press different places on the top surface of the upper cover is also relatively uniform. Among them, the reset member uses a spring, and the spring is always in a compressed state. In this way, when the upper cover is not subjected to pressing pressure or loses pressing pressure, the restoring force of the spring pushes the upper cover to move upward relative to the main body, so that the pressing member moves upward away from the key. When the upper cover is subjected to pressing pressure, the upper cover moves downward, compressing the spring, and the pressing member also moves downward to press or trigger the key, so that when the key is in working state, the speaker will sound.
[0070] In order to prevent the spring from bending and deforming and losing the upward thrust on the upper cover, spring columns 19 (the spring columns are made of hard material, not spring material) matching the number of the springs are provided on the top of the housing 3, and the bottom of the spring is sleeved on the outside of the spring column 19. The spring is positioned by the spring column to ensure that the spring is always in a vertical state. At the same time, when the upper cover moves down, the top surface inside the upper cover contacts the spring column at most, which can limit the downward movement distance of the upper cover and prevent the upper cover from moving down too much and causing the button to be crushed by the pressing member. In addition, when the upper cover is not pressed, the upper cover is in a suspended state, which has a feedback effect on the user or pet.
[0071] See also Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the outer wall of the housing 3 is provided with a speaker sound cavity hole 20 communicating with the interior of the housing 3, and the speaker 5 is arranged opposite to the speaker sound cavity hole 20. Preferably, in this embodiment, according to the layout of the internal components, the speaker sound cavity hole is arranged at the bottom of the housing.
[0072] The setting of the speaker sound cavity hole enables the sound of the speaker to be released through the speaker sound cavity hole when the speaker sounds, and the sound can be louder.
[0073] Wherein, a light-emitting body 21 is provided on the main control board 4; in this way, when the horn sounds, the light-emitting body will also emit light, so that feedback can be given to people and pets by means of light emission, and the training and use effects of pets are better. Preferably, the light-emitting body adopts lamp beads (which can be LED lamp beads or other types of lamp beads). Wherein, the upper cover and the shell are made of light-transmitting materials. In this way, when the light-emitting body emits light, it can be transmitted through the upper cover and the shell to form a light-emitting effect. Preferably, the upper cover and the shell are frosted semi-transparent materials, and the light will not be particularly bright, but the aesthetics is better. Furthermore, additives (such as diffuser powder) can be added to the upper cover and the shell so that the light emitted by the light-emitting body can be transmitted evenly, and the aesthetics is better.
[0074] Among them, since the touch copper foil needs to be attached to the inner wall of the upper cover, there is a hole in the middle to avoid the pressing piece, and since the touch copper foil is not light-transmissive, when the luminous body emits light, some light will be transmitted from the gap between the touch copper foil and the pressing piece, which will affect the visual effect of the upper cover when the luminous body emits light. Therefore, in order to prevent light from leaking out from the gap between the touch copper foil and the pressing piece, a light-shielding sleeve 30 is also provided. The light-shielding sleeve adopts a hollow structure with an open top, which is directly sleeved on the outside of the pressing piece and is located below the touch copper foil. The top of the light-shielding sleeve is against the bottom surface of the touch copper foil, so that when the luminous body emits light, the light will not be transmitted from the gap between the touch copper foil and the pressing piece, so that the visual effect of the upper cover is better when the luminous body emits light. Further, a conical hole with a large top and a small bottom is provided in the light-shielding sleeve, so that when the light-shielding sleeve and the pressing piece are connected, the light-shielding sleeve and the pressing piece can be tightly matched only by plugging, so as to achieve a quick connection between the two. At the same time, the touch copper foil can be fixed to the upper cover without bonding, and can be directly pressed on the inner bottom surface of the upper cover through the light-shielding sleeve to fix the touch copper foil and limit the movement of the touch copper foil, so that the touch copper foil is tightly attached to the inner wall of the upper cover. Furthermore, the light-shielding sleeve can also increase the contact area with the key, so that in the key mode, the downward pressure on the upper cover can be reduced, making it easier to press the upper cover.
[0075] See also Figure 1 , 3 As shown, at least one anti-skid pad 22 is also installed at the bottom of the housing 3. When the touch button is in use, it will be placed on the ground or on a table or on other supporting bodies. In order to prevent the touch button from moving relative to the supporting body when in use, the anti-skid pad is provided to prevent the relative movement of the touch button and the supporting body, thereby ensuring the stability of use. In this embodiment, four anti-skid pads are provided, evenly distributed at the bottom outer edge of the housing.
[0076] The bottom of the housing 3 is provided with an anti-skid pad groove 23, and the top of each anti-skid pad 22 is installed in the corresponding anti-skid pad groove 23. The anti-skid pad groove is provided to limit the anti-skid pad and prevent the anti-skid pad from being separated from the housing. The anti-skid pad can be installed in the anti-skid pad groove by clamping, bonding, or a combination of bonding and clamping.
