The cylindrical keys are triggered by the circumferential rotation motion under the action of an external force, that is, the cylindrical keys contact or move away from the touch sensing device 500 through the circumferential rotation motion. In the present application, plate-like keys are specifically used.

[0047] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the button also includes a driving component 200, which is located at the bottom of the control component 100. The driving component 200 is used to place the control component 100. The driving component 200 moves synchronously with the control component 100. The driving component 200 contacts or moves away from the touch sensing device 500 under the triggering of the control component 100 to achieve the triggering and disconnection of the touch sensing device 500.

The control component 100 is made of a transparent material. The display icon displayed by the display component 300 is projected onto the surface of the control component 100 through the control component 100. When the display component 300 switches the display icon, the switching of the display icon can be viewed through the control component 100. Further, the display component 300 is located on the motion frame 230, and the display component 330 moves synchronously with the motion frame 230.

[0050] In one embodiment, the display component 300 is an LED screen, an OLED screen, or an electronic ink screen.

[0051] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the button also includes a circuit board 400 and a touch sensing device 500. The circuit board 400 is located at the bottom of the driving component 200. The circuit board 400 is connected to the touch sensing device 500, and the touch sensing device 500 is connected to the display component 300. During the reciprocating motion of the control component 100, the driving component 200 contacts or moves away from the touch sensing device 500 to achieve function switching of the circuit board 400 and icon switching of the display component 300. The function of the circuit board 400 corresponds to the icon of the display component 300 one by one.

[0052] Among them, an elastic element is arranged at the bottom of the touch sensing device 500, and the control component 100 drives the moving frame 230 to move downward at the same time under the drive of external force. When the moving frame 230 touches the touch sensing device 500, the elastic element is compressed to form a stored force. When the external force is removed, the stored force of the elastic element causes the moving frame 230 and the control component 100 to bounce up for the next press.

[0053] In one embodiment, the touch sensing device 500 is a micro switch or a position sensor.

[0054] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the key further includes a middle plate 700, which is located between the guide frame 210 and the circuit board 400. A touch sensing device 500 is disposed on the middle plate 700, and the touch sensing device 500 is disposed corresponding to the guide hole.

[0055] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the button also includes a Bluetooth data module, which is connected to the circuit board 400. The Bluetooth data module is used to record function information and icon information, and new function information and icon information can also be read through the Bluetooth data module.

[0056] Attached Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the driver component of this application. Figure 2 As shown,

[0057] The driving assembly 200 includes a guide frame 210 and a moving frame 230. The top of the moving frame 230 is provided with a receiving groove for placing the control assembly 100. The driving assembly 200 triggers the touch sensing device 500 by means of up and down linear reciprocating motion. The guide frame 210 is provided with a guide hole along the first direction. The guide hole is used to accommodate the moving frame 230, and the moving frame 230 is slidably connected to the guide frame 210. The moving frame 230 is suspended in the guide hole through the touch sensing device 500, so the moving frame 230 can move up and down in the guide hole with the control board 110, that is, the control board 110 floats upward with the moving frame 230 without external contact, so as to be pressed down next time. Further, in the process of the control assembly 100 moving up and down linearly, the moving frame 230 synchronously moves up and down linearly in the guide hole.

[0058] The direction from the control component 100 to the circuit board 400 and the direction from the top plate 610 to the bottom plate 620 are both the first direction.

[0059] In one embodiment, the moving frame 230 is slidably connected to the guide frame 210 via a sliding device 240. The sliding device 240 includes a sliding groove 241 and a sliding protrusion 242. The sliding groove 241 is adapted to the sliding protrusion 242, that is, the sliding protrusion 242 can slide up and down in the sliding groove 241. The directional sliding of the moving frame 230 can be further achieved by the setting of the sliding device 240. The sliding groove 241 is located at one of the outer surface of the moving frame 230 and the guide hole, and the sliding protrusion 242 is located at the other of the outer surface of the moving frame 230 and the guide hole. The sliding groove 241 and the sliding protrusion 242 are both arranged along the first direction.

[0060] Attached Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the application control component. Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the control component 100 includes a control board 110 and a lower board 120 in sequence along a first direction. The control board 110 and the lower board 120 are connected up and down. The area of ​​the control board 110 is smaller than the first opening 630, and the control board 110 can extend outside the housing 600 through the first opening 630. The area of ​​the bottom board 620 is larger than the first opening 630. The control component 100 is always located in the accommodating cavity during the up and down linear movement.

[0061] When in use, the user drives the control component 100 downward by external force. During the movement of the control component 100, the motion frame 230 is driven to move downward and continuously approach the touch sensing device 500 until the touch sensing device 500 is triggered. After the touch sensing device 500 is triggered, the circuit board 400 switches functions, and the display component 300 also switches icons corresponding to the functions synchronously, so that the user can clearly distinguish the function of the current custom button, avoiding the user from excessively observing the buttons during driving, and further ensuring driving safety. After the external force is removed, due to the presence of the elastic element of the touch sensing device 500, the control component 100 moves upward to return to the initial state for the next downward drive.
