[0030] A cylindrical lead seal is arranged in the lead seal hole 7, and the cylindrical lead seal passes through the housing lead seal hole 7 on one side, the lead seal hole 7, and the housing lead seal hole 7 on the other side in sequence. When in use, the lead seal area of ​​the operating piece body 1 is fixed in the operating area of ​​the housing body 2, and the operating piece body 1 is limited by the cylindrical lead seal and cannot rotate, and the connection part between the key body 3 and the operating piece body 1 is surrounded by the key area of ​​the housing body 2, so that the key cannot be operated.

The operating piece body 1 drives the key body 3 to move downward through the fixing rod 11, and the key body 3 moves downward in the key cavity, so that the bottom of the circular base abuts against the upper end surface of the silicone plate 4. The key body 3 continues to move downward in the key cavity, so that the circular base presses the silicone plate 4 downward, and at this time, the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9 in the silicone plate 4 is squeezed and moves downward, and the silicone plate 4 at the U-shaped groove around the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9 is bent.

[0035] In other embodiments, the silicone plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell body 2, the silicone plate 4 is connected to the metal iron plate 5, the metal iron plate 5 and the shell body 2 are respectively connected to the two sides of the silicone plate 4, and the metal iron plate 5 is fixedly connected to the silicone plate 4.

The bolt fixes the metal iron plate 5 to the bottom of the shell body 2, and the metal iron plate 5 fixes the silicone plate 4 to the bottom of the shell body 2. The silicone plate 4 will not be pushed by the key body 3 to produce displacement, but the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9 in the silicone plate 4 can be ejected.

[0037] In other embodiments, a PCB assembly board 6 is provided below the metal iron plate 5, and the PCB assembly board 6 is provided with a key electronic component corresponding to the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9, and the key electronic component is located directly below the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9, and the key electronic component extends upward. When the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9 is pushed downward by the key body 3, the lower end of the silicone cylindrical protrusion 9 abuts against the upper end of the key electronic component, thereby triggering the switch.

[0038] In other embodiments, the shape of the silicone plate 4 is semi-elliptical, and half of the major axis of the ellipse is retained, and the arc at the edge of the silicone plate 4 is tangent to the outer edge surface of the lower part of the key cavity; the shape of the metal iron plate 5 is the same as that of the silicone plate 4.
