[0050] In order to have a further understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is given below with reference to the drawings:

[0051] See also Figures 2 to 5 A key structure of a mobile phone protective shell, the mobile phone protective shell has a protective shell 10, the protective shell 10 has a back plate 11 and a frame 12 surrounding the back plate 11, a receiving space 13 for accommodating a mobile phone 1 is formed within the range of the frame 12, one edge of the mobile phone 1 has a touch button 2, the frame 12 of the protective shell 10 is provided with a key positioning hole 14 adapted to the shape of the touch button 2, the inner peripheral surface of the key positioning hole 14 is concavely provided with an engaging groove 15; a sensor key 20 is provided in the key positioning hole 14 of the protective shell 10, the sensor key 20 includes: an outer frame 21, A support ring 22, an elastic sheet 23, a key body 24, a plurality of conductive members 25 and a washer 26; wherein the outer frame 21 is configured to fit the shape of the key positioning hole 14, the outer circumference of the outer frame 21 is provided with a ring flange 211, and the inner circumference thereof is provided with an inner embedding groove 212; the inner circumference of the support ring 22 is provided with an embedding groove 221, and the support ring 22 is assembled in the embedding groove 212 of the outer frame 21; the elastic sheet 23 is a thin ring body and has an outer side edge 231 and an inner side edge 232, and the outer side edge 231 is embedded in the embedding groove 221 of the support ring 22; The outer circumference of the key body 24 is provided with an outer groove 241, and the surface of the key body 24 is provided with a number of neatly arranged through holes 242, and each of the conductive members 25 is respectively arranged in each of the through holes 242, so that the two ends of the conductive member 25 are exposed from the surface of the key body 24 and are flush with the surface; and the inner side edge 232 of the elastic sheet 23 is embedded in the outer groove 241 of the key body 24, and a gap is provided between the inner circumference of the support ring 22 and the outer circumference of the key body 24; and the washer 26 is a soft ring body, and its inner ring edge is provided with an axially protruding convex wall 261, and the washer 26 is pressed against The outer frame 21 faces one side of the touch button 2, and the convex wall 261 is against the inner peripheral edge of the outer frame 21; and the annular flange 211 of the outer frame 21 is embedded in the embedding groove 15 of the key positioning hole 14, so that the sensor key 20 is assembled on the protective shell 10, so that the key body 24, the conductive member 25 and the gasket 26 are against the touch button 2; by the user touching or applying pressure to the sensor key 20 with the finger 3, the touch button 2 receives the touch or pressure signal, and the mobile phone 1 generates the corresponding setting action and function, so that the touch button 2 can be easily controlled.

[0052] The composition and function of the above embodiment are described in detail as follows: Figures 2 to 5As shown, the key body 24 of the utility model can be made of colloid or plastic material, which can cover and fix the conductive member 25; the conductive member 25 is made of a conductive material, and is made of a conductive metal material, a chemical metal composite material, etc. When the finger 3 touches the conductive member 25, the conductive member 25 transmits the touch signal to the touch button 2. At this time, the controller of the touch button 2 will calculate the position of the finger 3 and the function represented by the position according to the difference in current change; furthermore, the gasket 26 can be made of a soft material such as silicone, etc., so that it has soft deformation ability, and through its slight adhesive properties, the sensor key 20 can be tightly attached to the touch button 2 of the mobile phone 1. In this way, the user can control the touch button 2 by just touching the surface of the sensor key 20, achieving a convenient and practical effect.

[0053] The outer frame 21 can be made of plastic material, and the support ring 22 can be made of hard materials such as metal, glass, sapphire, etc., but not limited to this, so that the outer side 231 of the elastic sheet 23 can be firmly assembled on the support ring 22 without falling off; and the elastic sheet 23 is made of elastic metal or plastic material, so that it can be elastically deformed by external force and can restore its shape when the external force is released. In this way, the user can press the sensor key 20 with force to make the sensor key 20 press against the touch button 2. By filling the sensor key 20 with the conductive members 25, the sensor key 20 has excellent rigidity and can accurately transmit the pressure value to the touch button 2, so that the touch button 2 senses the user's pressing time, force and size, etc. to trigger the operation function.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conductive members 25 are arranged at equal intervals so as to be evenly distributed on the sensor key 20, and when a finger 3 touches any position on the surface of the sensor key 20, it can touch one end of multiple conductive members 25. In this way, more touch signals of the finger 3 can be transmitted to the touch button 2 to improve the accuracy of touch sensing, and at the same time, the ability of the key body 24 to resist deformation can also be improved.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, when the finger 3 presses the key body 24 of the sensor key 20, the elastic sheet 23 is deformed to make the key body 24 sink, and the edge of the key body 24 does not rub against the support ring 22 during the pressing process to generate obstruction, and one end of the conductive member 25 contacts the touch button 2, and the other end thereof is exposed outside the protective shell 10 to contact the finger 3. The pressure of the finger 3 pressing can be directly transmitted to the touch button 2 through the conductive member 25, and the conductive member 25 is made of non-elastic deformable material, so the pressing force can be transmitted more accurately. At the same time, it is also easier for the user to control the pressing force, thereby achieving the purpose of easy operation.

[0056] Furthermore, if the touch button 2 is disposed on the back of the mobile phone 1 (for example, for adjusting the focus when the camera is activated), according to the technology of the present invention, the sensor key 20 can also be disposed on the back panel 11 at a position corresponding to the touch button 2 .

[0057] In addition, according to the technology of the utility model, it is also possible to implement Figure 6 The support ring 27 is configured to have any two oppositely positioned embedding grooves 271 on its inner circumference, the sensor key 20 is configured to have two flat plate-shaped elastic sheets 28, and the key body 29 is configured to have two outer grooves 291 on its outer circumference corresponding to the positions of the two embedding grooves 271, one edge of each elastic sheet 28 is respectively embedded in each embedding groove 271, and the other opposite edge is respectively embedded in each outer groove 291, so that the key body 29 is fixed on the support ring 27. In other words, the elastic sheet 28 is arranged in sections, so that the key body 29 can also achieve the purpose of being elastically pressed.

[0058] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the features of the present invention. Any re-creation using the technical means and creation principles related to the present invention still falls within the scope of the equivalent structural creativity of the present invention.
