The back plate 3 drives the two guide blocks 701 to slide downward along the guide rod 703 in the guide groove 702 and compress the spring 704. When the mesh plate 6 on the back plate 3 moves down to a position that is not in contact with the mounting plate 1 is relative to the front and back, at this time, the mesh plate 6 loses the contact with the mounting plate 1, and the elastic sheet 706 can push the mesh plate 6 backward, so that it pops out of the mounting slot 5 to complete the disassembly. After the mesh plate 6 is cleaned, the mesh plate 6 is installed back into the mounting slot 5 and the elastic sheet 706 is pressed forward, and then the waterproof membrane switch housing 4 is slowly moved up with the spring 704. When the back of the mesh plate 6 contacts the ball 707, the mesh plate 6 is contacted in the mounting slot 5 through the ball 707, and the waterproof membrane switch housing 4 can be completely loosened to automatically reset the complete installation of the mesh plate 6.

[0029] (2) When it is necessary to inspect and repair the electronic components inside the waterproof membrane switch housing 4, the two disassembly rods 802 are pressed toward the inside of the waterproof membrane switch housing 4, so that the two connecting plates 803 move relative to each other and stretch the tension spring 804. At the same time, the connecting plate 803 drives the limit block 805 to disengage from the limit hole 806 on the annular plate 801, so that the waterproof membrane switch housing 4 can be moved forward for disassembly. When the inspection is completed, the disassembly rod 802 is pressed, and then the back of the waterproof membrane switch housing 4 is aligned with the annular plate 801, so that the annular plate 801 is inserted into the waterproof membrane switch housing 4, and the limit block 805 is further driven by the tension spring 804 to return to the limit hole 806 for limited installation.
