Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the button structure 1000 includes: a button cover 10 , a supporting assembly 20 , a spring buckle 30 , a first elastic member 40 and a second elastic member 50 .

[0036] The support component 20 is provided with a mounting hole 201, and the key cover 10 is at least partially embedded in the mounting hole 201. The spring buckle 30 includes a first sub-buckle 31 and a second sub-buckle 32. The first sub-buckle 31 is connected to the second sub-buckle 32. The first sub-buckle 31 is provided with a through hole 311. The first sub-buckle 31 is located in the mounting hole 201, and the second sub-buckle 32 is located outside the mounting hole 201. The first sub-buckle 31 contacts the key cover 10. The first elastic member 40 is provided in the mounting hole 201, and the first elastic member 40 passes through the through hole 311. The opposite ends of the first elastic member 40 are respectively abutted against the key cover 10 and the support component 20; the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 are respectively abutted against the second sub-buckle 32 and the support component 2 0, the second sub-button 32 is movably connected to the supporting assembly 20, and the second sub-button 32 is provided with a hook 320, and the extension direction of the second elastic member 50 is the same as the extension direction of the first elastic member 40; when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 presses the first sub-button 31 and the first elastic member 40, so that the second sub-button 32 moves relative to the supporting assembly 20, the second sub-button 32 compresses the second elastic member 50, and the hook 320 moves to the first position; when the key cover 10 is stopped from being pressed, the first elastic member 40 drives the key cover 10 to reset, and the second elastic member 50 drives the second sub-button 32 to move relative to the supporting assembly 20, so that the second sub-button 32 is reset, and the hook 320 moves to the second position.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support assembly 20 is provided with a mounting hole 201, the key cover 10 can be at least partially embedded in the mounting hole 201. Since the spring buckle 30 includes a first buckle 31 and a second buckle 32, the first buckle 31 is connected to the second buckle 32, the second buckle 32 is movably connected to the support assembly 20, and the second buckle 32 is provided with a hook 320, once the first buckle 31 is pressed and moved, the second buckle 32 can drive the hook 320 to move, so that the hook 320 can be engaged with the component to be engaged or the component to be engaged with the hook 320 can be separated. Since the first sub-button 31 is provided with a through hole 311, the first sub-button 31 is located in the mounting hole 201, and the second sub-button 32 is located outside the mounting hole 201, the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, the first elastic member 40 is provided in the mounting hole 201, and the first elastic member 40 is passed through the through hole 311, and the opposite ends of the first elastic member 40 are respectively abutted against the key cover 10 and the supporting assembly 20, therefore, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 can compress the first elastic member 40, and the pressing member drives the first sub-button 31 to move, thereby causing the second sub-button 32 to move, and the second sub-button 32 drives the hook 320 to move. Since the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 are respectively abutted against the second sub-button 32 and the supporting assembly 20, the expansion and contraction direction of the second elastic member 50 is the same as the expansion and contraction direction of the first elastic member 40. Therefore, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 presses the first elastic member 40 and the first sub-button 31, so that the second sub-button 32 will drive the hook 320 to move, and the second sub-button 32 compresses the second elastic member 50, and the hook 320 will move to the first position; when the key cover 10 is stopped from being pressed, the first elastic member 40 will apply force to the key cover 10, that is, the first elastic member 40 is reset, so that the first elastic member 40 drives the key cover 10 to reset, and the second elastic member 50 will also reset, and the second elastic member 50 drives the second sub-button 32 to move, so that the second sub-button 32 is reset, and the hook 320 moves to the second position.

[0038] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50, it can be ensured that the key cover 10 and the second sub-button 32 are reset, and by making the first sub-button 31 located in the mounting hole 201 on the support assembly 20, the key cover 10 is at least partially located in the mounting hole 201, the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, and the first elastic member 40 passes through the through hole 311 on the first sub-button 31, which is equivalent to installing the first sub-button 31 and the first elastic member 40 in the mounting hole 201 on the support assembly 20 by inlaying, which can reduce the thickness of the button structure 1000, and the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, which can also reduce the thickness of the button structure 1000, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the button structure 1000 can be reduced, and when the button structure 1000 is applied to household appliances, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the housing 100 of the household appliances.

[0039] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the second sub-button 32 is connected to the first sub-button 31, and the second sub-button 32 is movably connected to the support assembly 20, so that the first sub-button 31 and the second sub-button 32 are equivalent to forming a seesaw structure. Once the first sub-button 31 is pressed, the second sub-button 32 will move, and the second sub-button 32 will be subjected to force, which will also cause the first sub-button 31 to move. That is, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 presses the first sub-button 31 and the first elastic member 40, so that the second sub-button 32 moves relative to the support assembly 20, and the second sub-button 32 drives the hook 320 to move to the first position; when the key cover 10 is stopped from being pressed, the second elastic member 50 applies force to the second sub-button 32, and the first elastic member 40 applies force to the key cover 10, so that the key cover 10 is reset, the first sub-button 31 is also reset due to the action of the second sub-button 32, and the second sub-button 32 drives the hook 320 to move to the second position. The first position is different from the second position, and the second position may be the position of the hook 320 when the key cover 10 is not pressed.

[0040] In addition, in some embodiments, the support assembly 20 may include a first bracket 21 and a second bracket 22; the first bracket 21 is connected to the second bracket 22, a first sub-groove is provided on the first bracket 21, and a second sub-groove is provided on the second bracket 22, the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove are combined to form a rotating groove, a rotating shaft 321 is provided on the second sub-buckle 32, and the rotating shaft 321 is embedded in the rotating groove so that the second sub-buckle 32 is movably connected to the support assembly 20; an installation hole 201 is provided on the first bracket 21, one end of the first elastic member 40 abuts against the second bracket 22, and one end of the second elastic member 50 abuts against the first bracket 21.

[0041] Since the second sub-buckle 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 321, and the rotating shaft 321 is embedded in the rotating groove formed by the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove, when the first sub-buckle 31 is subjected to force, the second sub-buckle 32 can drive the rotating shaft 321 to rotate in the rotating groove, so that the second sub-buckle 32 can move relative to the supporting component 20. When the second sub-buckle 32 is subjected to force, the second sub-buckle 32 can also drive the rotating shaft 321 to rotate in the rotating groove, so that the second sub-buckle 32 can move relative to the supporting component 20. Specifically, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 presses the first sub-button 31, so that the first sub-button 31 is subjected to force, and the second sub-button 32 drives the rotating shaft 321 to rotate, ensuring that the second sub-button 32 can rotate relative to the supporting assembly 20; when the key cover 10 is stopped, the second elastic member 50 applies force to the second sub-button 32, so that the second sub-button 32 is subjected to force, and the second sub-button 32 drives the rotating shaft 321 to rotate, ensuring that the second sub-button 32 can rotate relative to the supporting assembly 20. That is, by making the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove enclosed to form a rotating groove, and the rotating shaft 321 on the second sub-button 32 is embedded in the rotating groove, it can be ensured that the second sub-button 32 rotates relative to the supporting assembly 20, and the first bracket 21 is connected to the second bracket 22, ensuring that the rotating groove enclosed by the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove is relatively firm, so that the second sub-button 32 can move relatively stably, thereby avoiding the problem that the second sub-button 32 is easy to fall off, and the life of the button structure 1000 can be effectively improved.

[0042] It should be noted that the shapes of the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove can both be semicircular grooves, so that the rotation groove is a circular groove.

[0043] In addition, in some embodiments, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are connected via a fixing member 001 .

[0044] Through such a setting, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 can be firmly connected, making it difficult for the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 to separate, thereby ensuring that the rotation groove formed by the first sub-groove and the second sub-groove is relatively strong, so that the second sub-buckle 32 can move relatively stably relative to the support component 20.

[0045] It should be noted that the fixing member 001 may be a screw, and of course, the fixing member 001 may also be a pin. The specific type of the fixing member 001 is not limited in the present embodiment. In addition, the number of the fixing members 001 may be set according to actual needs, for example, the number of the fixing members 001 is 2, and for another example, the number of the fixing members 001 is 4. In this regard, the present embodiment does not limit it.

[0046] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 may be connected in other ways, for example, a clamping boss is provided on the first bracket 21, and a clamping slot is provided on the second bracket 22, and the clamping boss is embedded in the clamping slot, so that the first bracket 21 is connected to the second bracket 22. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the way the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are connected.

[0047] In addition, in some embodiments, a rotating shaft 321 may be provided on both opposite sides of the second sub-button 32; or, a rotating hole is provided on the second sub-button 32, the rotating shaft 321 passes through the rotating hole, a portion of the rotating shaft 321 is exposed from the rotating hole, and is embedded in the rotating groove.

[0048] When the rotating shafts 321 are provided on both sides opposite to each other of the second sub-buckle 32, at this time, the length of the rotating shafts 321 is equivalent to being shorter, and the number of the rotating shafts 321 is two, so that the number of the rotating grooves can be two, and the two rotating grooves are respectively located on the two sides opposite to each other of the second sub-buckle 32, so that the two rotating shafts 321 are respectively embedded in the two rotating grooves, so that the second sub-buckle 32 can rotate relatively stably relative to the supporting assembly 20.

[0049] When a rotating hole is provided on the second sub-buckle 32, the rotating shaft 321 is passed through the rotating hole, part of the rotating shaft 321 is exposed from the rotating hole and embedded in the rotating groove, at this time, it is equivalent to that the length of the rotating shaft 321 is longer, and the number of the rotating shaft 321 is one, so the number of the rotating grooves can be two, and the two rotating grooves are respectively located on the opposite sides of the second sub-buckle 32, so that the part of the rotating shaft 321 exposed from the rotating hole is respectively embedded in the two rotating grooves, so that the second sub-buckle 32 can rotate relatively stably relative to the supporting assembly 20.

[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, a limiting boss 101 is provided on the edge of the key cover 10, and the limiting boss 101 extends along the circumferential direction of the key cover 10, the limiting boss 101 is located between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22, and the limiting boss 101 is in contact with the first bracket 21, and the limiting boss 101 is used to prevent the key cover 10 from falling off from the mounting hole 201.

[0051] Since the edge of the key cover 10 is provided with a limiting boss 101, and the limiting boss 101 is located between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22, and the limiting boss 101 contacts the first bracket 21, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 will drive the limiting boss 101 to move, so that the limiting boss 101 is separated from the first bracket 21, and the pressing member presses the first elastic member; when the key cover 10 is stopped from being pressed, the first elastic member 40 will apply force to the key cover 10, so that the key cover 10 is reset, and at the same time, the key cover 10 drives the limiting boss 101 to move. Once the limiting boss 101 contacts the first bracket 21, the movement of the limiting boss 101 will be stopped, and the key cover 10 will also stop moving, so as to prevent the key cover 10 from falling off from the mounting hole 201. That is, by providing the limiting boss 101, the problem of the key cover 10 falling off from the mounting hole 201 can be effectively prevented.

[0052] In addition, in some embodiments, the first elastic member 40 has a first end and a second end relative to each other, the first end abuts against the key cover 10, and the second end abuts against the support assembly 20; in the direction from the key cover 10 to the support assembly 20, the projection of the first end is located inside the projection of the second end.

[0053] Since the first end of the first elastic member 40 abuts against the key cover 10, the second end abuts against the support assembly 20, and the projection of the first end is located inside the projection of the second end, the size of the first end of the first elastic member 40 that is equivalent to being in contact with the key cover 10 is smaller than the size of the second end of the first elastic member 40, and the second end abuts against the support assembly 20, ensuring that the size of the portion of the first elastic member 40 that is in contact with the support assembly 20 is larger, so that when pressing the key cover 10, whether pressing from the edge of the key cover 10 or the middle position of the key cover 10, the second end of the first elastic member 40 can provide good support for the key cover 10, and the second end of the first elastic member 40 has a larger size, which can also avoid the problem of the first elastic member 40 being bent when being pressed. That is, by setting it in the direction from the key cover 10 to the support assembly 20, the projection of the first end is located inside the projection of the second end, so that it can be ensured that the key cover 10 can be well supported, and the problem of the first elastic member 40 being bent during the extension and contraction process can be avoided.

[0054] It should be noted that a groove having the same shape as the first end of the first elastic member 40 is provided on the key cover 10, and the first end can be embedded in the groove, so that the first end of the first elastic member 40 is relatively stable relative to the key cover 10 and is not easy to shake.

[0055] In addition, when the supporting assembly 20 includes the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 , the second end of the first elastic member 40 abuts against the second bracket 22 .

[0056] In addition, in some embodiments, the first elastic member 40 is a spring, and the shape of the spring is a truncated cone.

[0057] Through such a configuration, it can be ensured that the second end of the spring abuts against the support assembly 20, and when the first end of the spring abuts against the key cover 10, the spring can provide good support for the key cover 10, avoiding the problem of possible bending of the spring during the expansion and contraction process.

[0058] In addition, in some embodiments, a fixing boss 102 may be provided on one side of the key cover 10 facing the supporting assembly 20 ; the fixing boss 102 is embedded in the through hole 311 , and part of the first elastic member 40 is sleeved on the fixing boss 102 .

[0059] Since the fixed boss 102 is embedded in the through hole 311 and part of the first elastic member 40 is sleeved on the fixed boss 102, if the first sub-button 31 slides relative to the key cover 10, once the hole wall of the through hole 311 contacts the fixed boss 102, the fixed boss 102 can block the sliding of the first sub-button 31, and if the first elastic member 40 slides relative to the key cover 10, the fixed boss 102 can block the sliding of the first elastic member 40, thereby ensuring that the first elastic member 40 and the first sub-button 31 are relatively stable and not easy to slide relative to the key cover 10.

[0060] In addition, in some embodiments, a first fixing groove 3201 is provided on the second sub-button 32, and a second fixing groove 2001 is provided on the support assembly 20. The notch of the first fixing groove 3201 and the notch facing the second fixing groove 2001, and the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 are respectively provided in the first fixing groove 3201 and the second fixing groove 2001.

[0061] Since the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 are respectively arranged in the first fixing groove 3201 and the second fixing groove 2001, the first fixing groove 3201 and the second fixing groove 2001 can fix the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 to avoid the problem of possible deviation of the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50, and ensure that the second elastic member 50 can better apply force to the second sub-button 32 or be pressed by the second sub-button 32.

[0062] It should be noted that the second elastic member 50 may be a spring, and of course, the second elastic member 50 may also be other types, for example, the second elastic member 50 is a spring. The specific type of the second elastic member 50 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0063] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when installing the button structure 1000, the key cover 10 can be installed from the back of the support component 20, ensuring that the support component 20 and the key cover 10 have the same demolding direction, and the demolding angle of the side wall of the key cover 10 can be the same as the demolding direction of the hole wall of the mounting hole 201 on the support component 20.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support assembly 20 is provided with a mounting hole 201, the key cover 10 can be at least partially embedded in the mounting hole 201. Since the spring buckle 30 includes a first buckle 31 and a second buckle 32, the first buckle 31 is connected to the second buckle 32, the second buckle 32 is movably connected to the support assembly 20, and the second buckle 32 is provided with a hook 320, once the first buckle 31 is pressed and moved, the second buckle 32 can drive the hook 320 to move, so that the hook 320 can be engaged with the component to be engaged or the component to be engaged with the hook 320 can be separated. Since the first sub-button 31 is provided with a through hole 311, the first sub-button 31 is located in the mounting hole 201, and the second sub-button 32 is located outside the mounting hole 201, the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, the first elastic member 40 is provided in the mounting hole 201, and the first elastic member 40 is passed through the through hole 311, and the opposite ends of the first elastic member 40 are respectively abutted against the key cover 10 and the supporting assembly 20, therefore, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 can compress the first elastic member 40, and the pressing member drives the first sub-button 31 to move, thereby causing the second sub-button 32 to move, and the second sub-button 32 drives the hook 320 to move. Since the opposite ends of the second elastic member 50 are respectively abutted against the second sub-button 32 and the supporting assembly 20, the expansion and contraction direction of the second elastic member 50 is the same as the expansion and contraction direction of the first elastic member 40. Therefore, when the key cover 10 is pressed, the key cover 10 presses the first elastic member 40 and the first sub-button 31, so that the second sub-button 32 will drive the hook 320 to move, and the second sub-button 32 compresses the second elastic member 50, and the hook 320 will move to the first position; when the key cover 10 is stopped from being pressed, the first elastic member 40 will apply force to the key cover 10, that is, the first elastic member 40 is reset, so that the first elastic member 40 drives the key cover 10 to reset, and the second elastic member 50 will also reset, and the second elastic member 50 drives the second sub-button 32 to move, so that the second sub-button 32 is reset, and the hook 320 moves to the second position.

[0065] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50, it can be ensured that the key cover 10 and the second sub-button 32 are reset, and by making the first sub-button 31 located in the mounting hole 201 on the support assembly 20, the key cover 10 is at least partially located in the mounting hole 201, the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, and the first elastic member 40 passes through the through hole 311 on the first sub-button 31, which is equivalent to installing the first sub-button 31 and the first elastic member 40 in the mounting hole 201 on the support assembly 20 by inlaying, which can reduce the thickness of the button structure 1000, and the first sub-button 31 is in contact with the key cover 10, which can also reduce the thickness of the button structure 1000, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the button structure 1000 can be reduced, and when the button structure 1000 is applied to household appliances, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the housing 100 of the household appliances.
