AI Technical Summary
The waterproof membrane of existing waterproof light-touch switches is too thin or too thick, making it difficult to maintain a good waterproof effect after the use period increases, which easily leads to moisture infiltration.
A combined structure of waterproof film and waterproof gasket is adopted. The thickness of the waterproof film is one-quarter of the thickness of the waterproof gasket. Through the cooperation of arc positioning grooves and arc positioning strips, the waterproof film quickly returns to a flat state after deformation.
It improves the waterproof effect and service life of the waterproof light-touch switch, prevents moisture from infiltration, and ensures that good sealing performance can be maintained after long-term use.
