[0042] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an operating key assembly is proposed, comprising: a shell 110; an operating member 120, the operating member 120 being movably connected to the shell 110; an execution component 130, part of the execution component 130 being located inside the shell 110, and another part of the execution component 130 being located outside the shell 110, and the operating member 120 being used to trigger the execution component 130.

[0044] The operation key assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110, an operation member 120 and an execution member 130. During use, the operation member 120 can trigger the execution member 130 by moving the operation member 120 relative to the housing 110, so that the execution member 130 is in different states, thereby realizing the function of the operation key. The operation key assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the housing 110, the operation member 120 is movably connected to the housing 110, and then part of the execution member 130 is located inside the housing 110, and the other part of the execution member 130 is located outside the housing 110. On the one hand, it is convenient for the operation member 120 to contact with the execution member 130 to trigger the execution member 130; on the other hand, the housing 110 can play a role of separation and transition, which can improve the waterproof performance of the operation member, especially greatly reduce the probability of the execution member 130 contacting with liquid, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the operation member 120 assembly, and an operation key assembly with excellent waterproof performance can be obtained at a relatively low cost.

[0045] It can be understood that the operating member 120 is movably connected to the housing 110, which means that the operating member 120 can move relative to the housing 110, such as slide and press.

[0046] It can be understood that the operation key assembly provided in the present application is provided with a shell 110, and the operating member 120 is movably connected to the shell 110, and the rear part of the execution assembly 130 is located inside the shell 110. The shell 110 is used to separate the operation key and the execution assembly 130, and a mechanical structure is used to achieve waterproofing, which can increase the waterproof performance. At the same time, the entire operation key assembly is rarely involved in wear during operation, so the service life of the operation key assembly will also be improved.

[0047] It is understandable that when the operation key assembly is applied to other devices, the execution assembly 130 of the operation key assembly also needs to contact other components. Since the operation key assembly has excellent waterproof effect, it can improve the waterproof effect of other devices and reduce the probability of water vapor and impurities invading other devices through the operation key assembly.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the actuator 130 includes: a push rod 131, part of the push rod 131 is located inside the housing 110, and another part of the push rod 131 extends out of the housing 110; a reset member 132, the reset member 132 is connected to the push rod 131, and is used to reset the push rod 131.

[0049] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the actuator assembly 130 is further provided. The actuator assembly 130 may include a push rod 131 and a reset member 132. When the operating member 120 moves relative to the housing 110, the operating member 120 may squeeze the push rod 131, causing the push rod 131 to move, and then the push rod 131 may be placed in different states through the movement of the operating member 120, thereby realizing the function of the operating key. Through the setting of the reset member 132, when the operating member 120 is reset and loses the squeezing of the push rod 131, the reset member 132 may drive the push rod 131 to reset, so that the operating key assembly is reset, making the operating key assembly more convenient to use.

[0050] It is understandable that the reset member 132 can be a spring, which is sleeved on the top rod 131 and abuts against the housing 110 and the top rod 131 respectively, and the spring can reset the top rod 131 through elastic force. The reset member 132 can also be a spring sheet, which abuts against the housing 110 and the top rod 131 respectively, and the spring can reset the top rod 131 through elastic force. The reset member 132 can also be a rubber member with elastic force, which is connected to the top rod 131 for resetting the top rod 131.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the actuator 130 further includes: a first sealing member 133 , which is sleeved on the ejector rod 131 and is used to abut against the housing 110 .

[0052] In this technical solution, the actuator 130 may further include a first seal 133, through which the top rod 131 may be sealed, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor and impurities invading through the gap between the top rod 131 and the housing 110, and further improving the waterproof performance of the operating key assembly.

[0053] In some examples, a sink groove may be formed on the housing 110 , and the first seal 133 is sunk in the sink groove, which facilitates the installation of the first seal 133 , reduces the probability of the first seal 133 being loosened, and can ensure waterproof performance.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the partial restoration member 132 is sleeved on the first sealing member 133 .

[0055] In this technical solution, considering that the reset member 132 has a certain elasticity, a part of the reset member 132 is mounted on the first sealing member 133, so that the reset member 132 can not only drive the top rod 131 to reset, but also fix the first sealing member 133, thereby reducing the probability of the first sealing member 133 loosening, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the operating member 120 assembly.

[0056] It can be understood that, in order to facilitate the movement of the ejector rod 131 , the first sealing member 133 can be made of a flexible material, such as a soft rubber material.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the operating key assembly further includes: a limiting member 140 , which is disposed on the top rod 131 and is located outside the housing 110 .

[0058] In this technical solution, the operating key assembly may further include a limit member 140. This configuration is based on the consideration that the movement of the operating member 120 will trigger the actuator assembly 130, thereby driving the actuator assembly 130 to move. By providing the limit member 140 on the actuator assembly 130, excessive movement of the actuator assembly 130 can be avoided, thereby making the use of the operating key assembly safer and more reliable.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, there are at least two execution components 130 .

[0060] In this technical solution, there may be two or more actuator components 130, based on which different actuator components 130 can be triggered by moving the operating member 120 relative to the shell 110, and different functions can be achieved by an operating key component by driving an operating member 120 to move, so that the operating key component can have more usage scenarios.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the operating member 120 includes: an operating member body 121, the operating member body 121 is slidably connected to the shell 110; a protrusion 122, the protrusion 122 is formed at one end of the operating member body 121 facing the shell 110, and the protrusion 122 is used to trigger the execution component 130.

[0062] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the operating member 120 is further provided. The operating member 120 may include an operating member body 121 and a protrusion 122 connected to the operating member body 121. The operating member body 121 is slidably connected to the shell 110. Based on this, by sliding the operating member body 121 relative to the shell 110, the protrusion 122 can abut against or disengage from the actuator 130. When the protrusion 122 abuts against the actuator 130, the protrusion 122 will drive the push rod 131 of the actuator 130 to move. When the protrusion 122 is disengaged from the actuator 130, the push rod 131 will be driven by the reset member 132 to reset.

[0063] In this technical solution, the operating member body 121 is slidably connected to the shell 110, and the operating member body 121 will not move into the shell 110, which can reduce the friction between the operating member body 121 and the shell 110 and improve the service life of the operating key assembly.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, there are at least two protrusions 122 .

[0065] In this technical solution, there can be two or more protrusions 122. When the operating member body 121 moves relative to the shell 110, different protrusions 122 can trigger different actuators 130, which can enrich the functions of the operating key assembly and adapt the operating key assembly to different usage scenarios.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, when there are multiple actuators 130 , at least part of the protrusions 122 are distributed between two adjacent actuators 130 .

[0067] In this technical solution, an arrangement method of the protrusion 122 is further provided. When there are multiple actuator components 130, at least part of the protrusion 122 is distributed between two adjacent actuator components 130. Based on this, when the operating member body 121 slides left and right along the shell 110, different actuator components 130 can be triggered, which can enrich the function of the operating key component and enable the operating key component to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the shell 110 includes: a shell body 111, a housing portion is formed at one end of the shell body 111, and an opening is formed at the other end, and the operating member 120 is arranged at the housing portion; a second sealing member 112, the second sealing member 112 is connected to the shell body 111, covering the opening, and a part of the actuator 130 extends out of the shell 110 through the second sealing member 112.

[0069] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the housing 110 is further provided. The housing 110 may include a housing body 111 and a second sealing member 112. By forming a receiving portion on the housing body 111, it is convenient for the operating member 120 to be movably connected to the housing 110, especially for the operating member 120 to be slidably connected to the housing 110. By sealing the opening of the housing body 111 with the second sealing member 112, the waterproof effect of the housing 110 can be further improved, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the operating key assembly.

[0070] It is understandable that, in order to improve the strength of the housing 110 , the second sealing member 112 may be made of a hard material, such as hard rubber.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the operation key assembly further includes: a functional part 150 , the functional part 150 is located outside the housing 110 , and the execution assembly 130 is used to trigger the functional part 150 .

[0072] In this technical solution, the operation key assembly may further include a functional part 150, which is located outside the housing 110, and the actuator 130 is used to trigger the functional part 150. Based on this, during the working process, the operating part 120 moves relative to the housing 110, and the operating part 120 can trigger the actuator 130, so that the actuator 130 is in different states, and then the functional part 150 is in different states to achieve different functions. It is understandable that the functional part 150 may include a detection switch or a DOME switch.

[0073] Example

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the operating key assembly includes: a housing 110; an operating member 120, which is movably connected to the housing 110; an actuator 130, part of which is located inside the housing 110, and another part of which is located outside the housing 110, and the operating member 120 is used to trigger the actuator 130. The actuator 130 includes two groups.

[0075] The working principle of the operating key assembly is as follows: by sliding the operating member 120, the operating key assembly can have three gear positions: left / middle / right.

[0076] exist Figure 1 When the operating member 120 slides to the left, the protrusion 122 on the operating member 120 presses the actuator 130 on the left, and the actuator 130 on the left presses the functional part 150 on the left. At the same time, the operating member 120 releases the actuator 130 on the right, and the actuator 130 on the right releases the functional part 150 on the right, and the functional part 150 on the right is closed.

[0077] exist Figure 1 When the operating member 120 slides to the middle, the protrusion 122 of the operating member 120 presses the two actuator components 130, and the two actuator components 130 press the two functional components 150 respectively, so that the two functional components 150 are opened.

[0078] exist Figure 1 When the operating member 120 slides to the right, the protrusion 122 of the operating member 120 presses the actuator 130 on the right, the actuator 130 on the right presses the functional member 150 on the right, the functional member 150 on the right opens, and at the same time, the operating member 120 releases the actuator 130 on the left, the actuator 130 on the left releases the functional member 150 on the left, and the functional member 150 on the left closes.

[0079] In some examples, the housing body 111 , the second sealing member 112 , and the second sealing member 112 form a sealing wall to prevent water / dust from entering the cavity from outside from interfering with the operation of the functional member 150 , thereby ensuring waterproof performance.

[0080] The operation key assembly provided in this embodiment has a long service life of more than 10,000 times, and can meet the waterproof test requirements of no less than IPX2.
