[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 A durable silicone key is shown, characterized in that it includes: a circuit board 1, a mounting shell 2 is provided on the circuit board 1, a mounting hole 3 is provided on the mounting shell 2, a silicone key 4 is movably arranged in the mounting hole 3, a slot 5 is penetrated through the silicone key 4, a disassembly button 6 is provided on the slot 5, a plurality of support sleeves 7 are provided on the circuit board 1, a lower pressure plate 8 is provided in the silicone key 4, a plurality of guide plug-in parts 9 which can be arranged in the support sleeve 7 are provided at intervals on the periphery of the lower pressure plate 8, a limiting part 10 which can limit the moving position of the guide plug-in part 9 is provided on the lower pressure plate 8, and an adjustable conductive part 11 is provided on the limiting part 10.

[0020] A durable silicone key of the above structure is used. When the user presses the silicone key 4, the silicone key 4 moves along the mounting hole 3. The silicone key 4 moves in the support sleeve 7 through the guide plug-in part 9, so that the conductive part 11 moves toward the circuit board 1. When it is necessary to adjust the gap of the silicone key 4 when it is pressed, the movement position of the guide plug-in part 9 is limited by the limiting part 10. When the identification pattern on the key is worn, the user can replace the identification pattern on the key by replacing the disassembly button 3. Compared with the existing technology, the existing device can adjust the key strength and improve the feel of pressing the key, and the existing device can replace the text logo.

[0021] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the disassembly button 6 includes a silicone press plate 61 arranged in the empty slot 5, an identification word 611 is provided in the middle of the silicone press plate 61, a chamfered snap edge 62 is provided around the periphery of the silicone press plate 61, a snap groove 63 is provided in the empty slot 5, the snap edge 62 is snapped into the snap groove 63, and disassembly grooves 64 are symmetrically provided on the silicone press plate 61. When the user needs to replace the identification word 611, the user presses the disassembly groove 64 with a finger to deform the silicone press plate 61. The user then removes the silicone press plate 61. When installing, the user only needs to snap the silicone press plate 61 into the empty slot 5. At this time, the user only needs to snap the silicone press plate 61 into the empty slot 5. At this time, the silicone press plate 61 is provided with a chamfered snap edge 62 around the periphery to snap into the snap groove 63 provided in the empty slot 5.

The plug-in rod 91 is limited by the block 92 and is sleeved in the adjacent support sleeve 7. A spring 93 is fixedly connected between each of the plug-in rods 91 and the adjacent support sleeve 7. When the user presses the silicone button 4, the lower pressure plate 8 is driven to move downward at the same time. When the lower pressure plate 8 moves, it drives multiple plug-in rods 91 on the periphery below it to move along the support sleeve 7. When the support sleeve 7 moves, it can be limited by the block 92 and sleeved in the adjacent support sleeve 7, and the spring 93 resets the plug-in rod 91 and rebounds.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the limiting portion 10 includes an air avoidance groove 101 arranged above the lower pressure plate 8, a first spur gear 102 is sleeved in the air avoidance groove 101, a cross torsion groove 1021 is provided in the middle of the first spur gear 102, a threaded sleeve 103 is movably sleeved on the lower pressure plate 8 and passes through each of the plug-in rods 91, a screw 104 is fixedly provided in each of the support sleeves 7, the screw 104 and the threaded sleeve 103 are threadedly matched with each other, and a screw 104 is fixed above each of the threaded sleeves 103. There is a second spur gear 105, each of which is meshed with the first spur gear 102. When in use, the user rotates the cross torsion groove 1021 to rotate the first spur gear 102. When the first spur gear 102 rotates, the second spur gears 105 are driven to rotate. At this time, each second spur gear 105 drives the threaded sleeve 103 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 103 drives the screw 104 matched with its thread to move up or down. When the screw 104 moves, the distance between the lower pressure plate 8 and the circuit board 1 can be changed.

[0024] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the conductive part 11 includes a threaded rod 111 fixedly arranged below the first spur gear 102 and passing through the lower pressure plate 8, a cross screw 112 is sleeved through the threaded rod 111, a connecting rod 113 is movably inserted in the cross screw 112, and a screw sleeve 114 is fixed at the end of the connecting rod 113, and the screw sleeve 114 and the threaded rod 111 are threadedly matched. When the user rotates the cross screw 112, the cross screw 112 drives the screw sleeve 114 to rotate through the connecting rod 113, and when the screw sleeve 114 rotates, it moves downward along the threaded rod 111, and at the same time, the screw sleeve 114 moves downward along the cross screw 112 through the connecting rod 113.
