[0003] The existing membrane touch switch is composed of the following components: a button, a film layer, a metal sheet, a pin, and a base. The working principle is that when an external force (such as finger pressure) acts on the switch, the contact of the film layer will contact the metal sheet, causing the metal sheet to deform and connect with the pin to form a closed circuit. When the external force disappears, the film layer and the metal sheet will return to their original positions, and the contact will break contact with the metal sheet, that is, the circuit is disconnected.

[0004] At present, the membrane touch switch in the prior art has the following disadvantages: the membrane layer is connected and sealed with the base by means of an adhesive. During use, the edge of the membrane layer is easily affected by external forces, resulting in the outer ring being glued and warped, or after long-term use, the dustproof film is displaced, resulting in the loss of dustproof and waterproof effects, resulting in poor contact and reduced service life, affecting the normal use of the membrane touch switch. The performance of the membrane layer set in this way is unstable. Therefore, a membrane touch switch is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Specific examples are given below.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model discloses a membrane touch switch, comprising a base 1, a membrane 12 is arranged at the top of the base 1, a mounting groove corresponding to the membrane 12 is opened at the top of the base 1, and the membrane 12 is fixedly arranged on the base 1 by an adhesive, a first contact pin 2 and a second contact pin 3 are respectively fixedly arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the base 1, the other ends of the first contact pin 2 and the second contact pin 3 are extended to the inner bottom end of the base 1, and a first contact point 4 is fixedly arranged on one end of the first contact pin 2 located inside the base 1, so that A spring sheet 5 is fixedly arranged at the top of the first contact 4, a button 13 is fixedly arranged at the top center of the spring sheet 5, a second contact 6 is fixedly arranged at one end of the second contact foot 3 located inside the base 1, L-shaped fixing blocks 7 are fixedly arranged at the four corners of the top of the base 1, and a rotating shaft 8 is rotatably arranged between each two adjacent L-shaped fixing blocks 7 through a bearing, a V-shaped clip 9 is fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 8, and a plurality of conical blocks 11 are fixedly arranged on the inner array of the V-shaped clip 9, and the V-shaped clip 9 has four groups of Located at the top of the four sides of the base 1, one end of the rotating shaft 8 passes through the L-shaped fixing block 7, and the end is provided with a self-locking mechanism 10. When working, in order to prevent the film 12 from being affected by external forces during use, causing the outer ring to be glued and warped, or shifting after long-term use, resulting in the loss of dustproof and waterproof effects, resulting in poor contact and reduced service life, affecting the normal use of the membrane touch switch, first when the staff assembles the membrane touch switch, the adhesive is applied to the assembly groove of the film 12 and the top of the base 1, and then the film 12 is pressed The film 12 is pressed into the assembly groove. At the same time, when the film 12 moves toward the top of the base 1, the edge of the film 12 pushes one side plate of the V-shaped clip 9 to swing to the outside of the base 1. When the bottom end of the film 12 contacts and bonds with the top of the base 1, the other side plate of the V-shaped clip 9 swings to the top of the film 12, pressing the film 12 underneath it. At the same time, the V-shaped clip 9 drives a number of conical blocks 11 to rotate, so that the conical blocks 11 squeeze the top edge of the film 12, further preventing the edge of the film 12 from warping and displacing, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance and affecting use.

At the same time, when the film 12 moves toward the top of the base 1, the edge of the film 12 pushes one side plate of the V-shaped clip 9 to swing toward the outside of the base 1. When the bottom end of the film 12 contacts and bonds with the top of the base 1, the other side plate of the V-shaped clip 9 swings to the top of the film 12, pressing the film 12 underneath it, and at the same time, the V-shaped clip 9 drives several conical blocks 11 to rotate The V-shaped clip 9 is locked, which effectively prevents the V-shaped clip 9 from reversing and loosening, and the rotation shaft 8 is driven to rotate, and the rotation shaft 8 drives the locking groove 101 to rotate. When the V-shaped clip 9 clamps the film 12, the rotation shaft 8 also drives the locking groove 101 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the locking groove 101 is rotated to the bottom of the locking pin 103. Under the action of gravity, the locking pin 103 falls into the locking groove 101, limiting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 8, that is, the rotation angle of the V-shaped clip 9 is locked, which effectively prevents the V-shaped clip 9 from reversing and loosening, resulting in no auxiliary fixing and limiting of the film 12.
