[0002] Push button controller is a kind of switch with a wide range of uses, especially in household appliances. Most of the push button controllers currently used are not waterproof and dustproof. After long-term use, dust and water vapor can easily enter the controller and contact the PCB (printed circuit board), causing problems such as controller failure and misoperation, which shortens the service life of the controller and causes malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a controller structure, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems as follows:

[0005] A controller structure includes a cable, a shell, a rubber pad and a skirt. A control module is installed inside the shell, and a rubber pad is installed on the shell above the control module. A button and a skirt are provided on the rubber pad. A pressing contact is provided on one side surface of the rubber pad located inside the shell corresponding to the button. A groove is provided between the button and the skirt. A cable is installed at one end of the shell.

[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a support column, and the control module is installed in the shell by limiting the support column.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0009] Stable fixation: The support column provides a reliable support and fixing structure to ensure that the control module is firmly installed inside the housing. This design ensures that the control module will not shake or shift during the use or transportation of the equipment, thereby improving the stability of the entire controller system.

[0010] Anti-vibration capability: Vibration is a common problem in mobile devices or environments where the device needs to be moved frequently. By fixing the control module with a support column, the impact of external vibration on the control module can be reduced. As part of the internal structure, the support column can effectively absorb and disperse external vibration and impact force to protect the control module from damage.

[0011] Easy maintenance: The design of the support column also makes the installation and maintenance of the control module easier. If the control module needs to be replaced or repaired, only the support column needs to be removed without large-scale disassembly of the entire housing. This can save maintenance time and cost.

[0012] Space efficiency: The support column is usually a very compact and efficient design that does not take up too much space. This is especially important for devices or systems with limited space, ensuring that the controller can be installed in a relatively small space.

[0013] Manufacturing cost: As part of the housing, the support column can usually be manufactured using relatively simple and economical materials. This can reduce the overall manufacturing cost, making the controller more competitive and cost-effective.

[0014] Furthermore, the support columns are evenly distributed in the shell.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0016] Uniform support: The uniform distribution of support columns ensures that the control module receives uniform support during installation. This design can effectively avoid unbalanced or skewed module installation due to insufficient support in some parts. Uniform support helps ensure that the control module is firmly installed inside the housing.

[0017] Improve overall stability: By being evenly distributed inside the housing, the support columns can balance the weight of the control module and the pressure that may be caused by the external environment. This balance helps to improve the stability of the entire controller system, making it more reliable during use.

[0018] Reduce vibration and shock: Evenly distributed support columns can more effectively absorb and disperse external vibration and shock. In industrial environments or mobile equipment, vibration is a common problem that can easily cause damage or failure of control modules. Evenly distributed support columns can reduce the impact of these vibrations on the control module and improve system reliability.

[0019] Increase structural strength: The uniform distribution of support columns can increase the overall structural strength of the housing. This is especially important for controllers that need to be used in harsh environments, as it can improve their ability to resist pressure and impact. Such a design can ensure that the controller can operate safely and reliably under various working conditions.

[0020] Convenient maintenance and repair: If the controller needs to be maintained or repaired, the evenly distributed support columns will be more convenient. Since the support columns are evenly distributed, the operation of removing and reinstalling the control module is simpler, reducing the trouble and time cost during maintenance.

[0021] Furthermore, the top end of the skirt is in contact with the inner surface of the shell.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0023] Enhanced sealing: The direct contact between the top of the skirt and the inner surface of the housing can form an effective seal. This sealing can effectively prevent external liquids, dust, or other impurities from entering the controller. Especially in industrial environments or outdoor use, this design can effectively protect the controller from damage.

[0024] Waterproof performance: The close contact between the skirt and the inner surface of the shell can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the controller. This is especially important for controllers that need to be used in humid or wet environments to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0025] Dust-proof effect: The sealed skirt design also effectively prevents dust, fine particles or other foreign matter from entering the controller. This can reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, while extending the service life of the controller.

[0026] Improved durability: Due to the direct contact between the housing and the skirt, the skirt is not easy to loosen or fall off during use. This increases the overall durability of the controller and reduces equipment failures caused by foreign matter entering or parts falling off.

[0027] Beautiful appearance: The seamless contact between the skirt and the shell not only improves the functionality of the controller, but also improves its appearance. This design looks more neat and professional, in line with the standards of modern industrial design.

[0028] Furthermore, a connector is provided at one end of the cable located inside the housing, and the cable is electrically connected to the control module via the connector.

[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0030] Easy to install and replace: The connector design makes it very easy to install and replace the cable. When the cable needs to be replaced, you only need to remove the connector without disassembling the entire controller. This can greatly save the time and cost of maintenance and repair.

[0031] Flexibility: The cables are connected via connectors, which means the controller is compatible with cables of different types or lengths. Users can choose the appropriate cable as needed to meet the requirements of different scenarios.

[0032] Reliable electrical connection: The connector design ensures a stable and reliable electrical connection between the cable and the control module. This connection method is not easily affected by the external environment and improves the stability and reliability of the controller system.

[0033] Prevent misoperation: The connector design can effectively prevent the cable from being accidentally unplugged or loosened. This design is particularly important when the device is being moved or operated, as it can prevent device failure or data loss due to loose cables.

[0034] Space saving: Cables are connected through connectors, and no additional connectors or sockets are required, saving space inside the controller. This is especially important for devices or systems with limited space, and can make the controller design more compact.

[0035] Improve maintenance efficiency: When the control module needs to be maintained or replaced, only the connector needs to be removed without having to deal with complicated cable connections. This can greatly improve maintenance efficiency and operational convenience.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0037] Stable installation: The control module is installed inside the shell, and the design of the support column allows the control module to be evenly distributed and fixed inside the shell. In this way, the control module will not move or shake during transportation or use, ensuring the stability of the equipment. Especially in mobile equipment or environments that require frequent movement, stable installation is the key to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0038] Waterproof and dustproof design: The rubber pad and skirt design greatly enhance the controller's waterproof and dustproof capabilities. The skirt is in close contact with the top inner surface of the shell, forming an effective waterproof and dustproof barrier. The design between the groove and the skirt further increases the sealing, preventing liquids or fine particles from entering the controller, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0039] Convenience of operation: There are buttons on the rubber pad, and there are grooves between the buttons and the skirt, which makes the button operation more convenient and comfortable. The setting of the pressing contact also ensures that the user can clearly feel the feedback of the operation when pressing the button, thereby reducing the possibility of misoperation. This user-friendly design takes into account the actual operation needs in various working environments.

[0040] Reliable cable connection: The cable is connected to the control module through a connector installed at one end of the housing. This connection method is not only convenient for installing and replacing cables, but also ensures a stable electrical connection between the cable and the control module. In industrial equipment or mobile equipment, cables are often easily damaged by pulling or moving, and this design can ensure a firm connection and reduce equipment failures caused by looseness or disconnection.

[0041] Control module protection: The existence of the shell not only provides the function of fixing the control module, but also plays a role in protecting the control module. The shell can effectively block external impact or vibration to prevent the control module from being damaged. This is especially important for equipment that needs to work in harsh environments, which can extend the service life of the controller and reduce maintenance costs.
