[0003] Existing membrane switches conduct electricity mainly in two ways, one of which is to conduct electricity by pressing the printed upper and lower button circuits, and the other is to conduct electricity by pressing the metal buttons.

[0004] However, when metal buttons are used for pressing and conducting electricity, the usage frequencies of the buttons on the panel layer are not all the same. One or several buttons may be used too frequently, which may cause the buttons to be damaged easily and cannot be used any further. When the buttons cannot be used any further, the entire panel layer needs to be replaced, which has a high replacement cost. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] The utility model discloses a membrane switch with a single button replacement function, which is threadedly connected between an internal thread inside a mounting frame and an external thread outside a fixed frame. After a metal springback sheet is damaged due to high-frequency use, only the damaged metal springback sheet and the mounting frame outside the metal springback sheet need to be replaced separately, and a button label is affixed to a label slot on the top of the new metal springback sheet, and the new sheet can be put into use again without affecting other metal springback sheet buttons, thereby saving the cost of replacing the entire panel layer. A springback column is installed at the bottom of the metal springback sheet to help the metal springback sheet to rebound, and at the same time, the upper circuit layer is pressed down by the lower pressing plate, thereby expanding the pressing area and making the upper circuit layer better in contact with the lower circuit layer.

The surface adhesive layer 2 is provided below the panel layer 1, the upper circuit layer 3 is provided below the surface adhesive layer 2, the interlayer layer 4 is provided below the upper circuit layer 3, the lower circuit layer 5 is provided below the interlayer layer 4, and the lower circuit layer 5 is provided with a back adhesive layer 6. The panel layer 1 comprises a main layer board 11, a fixing frame 12, an external thread 13, an installation frame 14, an internal thread 15 and a metal rebound sheet 16. The fixing frame 12 is fixedly installed on the main layer board 11, the outer side of the fixing frame 12 is provided with an external thread 13, the upper part of the fixing frame 12 is provided with an installation frame 14, and the bottom of the installation frame 14 is provided with a back adhesive layer 6. An internal thread 15 is provided on the part, and the installation frame 14 is threadedly connected with the external thread 13 on the fixed frame 12 through the internal thread 15. A metal rebound sheet 16 is provided inside the installation frame 14. By pressing the metal rebound sheet 16, the metal rebound sheet 16 drives the lower pressure plate 18 to descend, and the lower pressure plate 18 presses down the upper circuit layer 3. The upper circuit layer 3 passes through the interlayer 4 and contacts the lower circuit layer 5 to achieve the effect of power supply. After the metal rebound sheet 16 is damaged due to high-frequency use, the installation frame 14 is rotated to remove the installation frame 14 and the damaged metal rebound sheet 16 from the fixed frame 12, and a new installation frame 14 is replaced and rotatably installed on the fixed frame 12, so that the new metal rebound sheet 16 is put into use again.

[0019] Furthermore, a label slot 17 is provided at the top of the metal rebound sheet 16, and the external label of the key is attached to the label slot 17. After the installation frame 14 and the metal rebound sheet 16 are replaced as a whole, the label of the key is attached to the label slot 17 at the top of the new metal rebound sheet 16 and put into use again.

[0020] Furthermore, the panel layer 1 also includes a lower pressing plate 18 and a rebound column 19. The lower pressing plate 18 is provided at the bottom of the metal rebound sheet 16. The lower pressing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the metal rebound sheet 16 through a bracket. The lower pressing plate 18 presses down on the upper circuit layer 3, thereby expanding the pressing area and making the upper circuit layer 3 better contact with the lower circuit layer 5. Rebound columns 19 are provided on both sides of the lower pressing plate 18.

[0021] Furthermore, the rebound column 19 includes a telescopic tube and an external spring. The external spring is wound on the inner tube of the telescopic tube. The outer tube of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the metal rebound sheet 16, and the inner tube is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 14. When the metal rebound sheet 16 is pressed down, the inner tube enters the outer tube, and the external spring is compressed. The external spring helps the metal rebound sheet 16 to reset when it rebounds.

[0022] Furthermore, the edge of the metal resilient sheet 16 is inserted into the installation frame 14 , and the metal resilient sheet 16 and the installation frame 14 are fixedly connected.

[0023] Working principle: The utility model is a membrane switch with a single button replacement function. When in use, by pressing the metal springback sheet 16, the metal springback sheet 16 drives the lower pressure plate 18 to descend, and the lower pressure plate 18 presses down the upper circuit layer 3. The upper circuit layer 3 passes through the interlayer 4 and contacts the lower circuit layer 5 to achieve the effect of power-on. When a metal springback sheet 16 is damaged and cannot be used, the installation frame 14 is rotated to remove the installation frame 14 and the damaged metal springback sheet 16 from the fixed frame 12, and a new installation frame 14 is replaced and rotatably installed on the fixed frame 12, so that the new metal springback sheet 16 can be put into use again.
