Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of membrane switches, and more specifically, to a shockproof membrane switch. Background Art

[0002] Membrane switch is an operating system that integrates key functions, indicating elements, and instrument panels. It consists of four parts: panel, upper circuit, isolation layer, and lower circuit. When the membrane switch is pressed, the contact of the upper circuit deforms downward and contacts the plate of the lower circuit. When the finger is released, the contact of the upper circuit rebounds, the circuit is disconnected, and the loop triggers a signal. The membrane switch has a rigorous structure, beautiful appearance, and good sealing. It is moisture-proof and has a long service life. It is widely used in electronic communications, electronic measurement instruments, industrial control, medical equipment, automotive industry, smart toys, household appliances and other fields.

[0003] For example, a membrane switch disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN210866003U is provided with a plate body kit, a spring-type key group and a guide belt. In the actual application process, due to the provision of the elastic rib ring, the overall elastic force of the key can be enhanced, so that the elastic force of the key will not drop too much due to excessive use, which can greatly reduce the maintenance cost of the membrane switch in the later stage; in addition, due to the provision of a number of contact protrusions, and each contact protrusion is distributed in a circle with the center of the spring-type arc-shaped sheet, when the contact protrusion contacts the inner circle pole disk, the contact area between the key and the inner circle pole disk can be guaranteed, that is, the contact reliability is high, and the membrane switch can output signals stably; furthermore, the provision of the waterproof ring body can prevent conductive media such as water droplets from entering the substrate layer, causing a short circuit of the membrane switch, greatly reducing the probability of a short circuit in the membrane switch.

[0004] However, although the above solution can realize the waterproof function of the membrane switch and reduce the short circuit phenomenon of the membrane switch, during use, the membrane switch needs to be installed on the equipment, and the equipment will vibrate when working. The existing membrane switch has no shock-absorbing structure, and long-term vibration will damage the membrane switch. Utility Model Content

[0008] The plug board is connected to the device, and a placement groove for installing the switch body is provided on the end surface of the plug board, and the diameter of the placement groove is larger than the diameter of the switch body.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown,

[0024] The shockproof membrane switch comprises a switch body 1 and a plug board 2 connected to the switch body 1. The switch body 1 comprises a connecting layer 3, a panel layer 4 and a button 5. The button 5 is arranged on the end surface of the panel layer 4. A control contact 10 is arranged in the panel layer 4. An extrusion is arranged around the control contact 10. The extrusion comprises a support rod 15 and a resistance film 16 for covering the support rod 15. A resistance block 17 is arranged below the resistance film 16 corresponding to the control contact 10. The button 5 is covered by the resistance film 16. Through the setting of the resistance block 17, the button 5 is more sensitive to the control contact 10.

[0025] The connecting layer 3 is connected to the panel layer 4, and a snap-in block 6 is provided on the other end face of the connecting layer 3. The plug-in board 2 is connected to the device. A placement groove 7 for installing the switch body 1 is provided on the end face of the plug-in board 2. The diameter of the placement groove 7 is larger than the diameter of the switch body 1, which is convenient for placing the switch body 1 in the placement groove 7 and also for the shock absorber 9 to contact with the switch body 1.

[0026] A card slot 8 connected to the card block 6 is provided on the inner wall of the placement groove 7, and an electromagnet 13 is provided in the card slot 8. The electromagnetic strip and the card block 6 are magnetically attracted to each other. The electromagnet 13 is electrically connected to a power source, and the power source is electrically connected to a photovoltaic panel 14 to power the electromagnet 13. The photovoltaic panel 14 can also absorb light energy emitted by the lamp, thereby saving energy.

[0027] A shock absorbing member 9 for absorbing shock to the switch body 1 is provided on the side wall of the placement groove 7. There are multiple shock absorbing members 9, and the shock absorbing members 9 are arranged around the side wall of the placement groove 7. The shock absorbing member 9 includes an elastic column 11 and a spring 12 sleeved outside the elastic column 11. One end of the elastic column 11 and the spring 12 is connected to the side wall of the placement groove 7, and the other end of the elastic column 11 is in contact with the switch body 1. The cross-section of the end of the elastic column 11 that is in contact with the switch body 1 is bullet-shaped, and the shock absorption effect is better.

[0028] Working principle: first install the plug board 2 on the required equipment, then install the switch body 1 into the placement slot 7, and make the card block 6 contact the electromagnet 13, then connect the electromagnet 13 with the photovoltaic panel 14. When the equipment vibrates, the electromagnet 13 firmly fixes the card block 6 in the card slot 8, thereby making the fixation of the switch body 1 more stable. At the same time, the shock absorbing parts 9 located around the switch body 1 can protect the switch body 1. When the switch body 1 is displaced due to vibration, the elastic column 11 is made of rubber material, which can protect the switch body 1, and the spring 12 increases its shock absorbing performance.

[0029] The stability of the connection of the switch body 1 is ensured by connecting the switch body 1 and the plug board 2 through the electromagnet 13. Furthermore, a shock absorbing member 9 is provided on the peripheral wall of the placement groove 7 and contacts with the switch body 1. The switch body 1 is further fixed by the shock absorbing member 9. When the equipment vibrates, the shock absorbing member 9 can effectively protect the switch body 1 from being damaged by the vibration. Furthermore, the electromagnet 13 is connected to a photovoltaic panel 14 to realize the energy supply to the electromagnet 13, which can not only protect the switch body 1 from the influence of vibration but also make its connection more stable.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
