AI Technical Summary
Existing waterproof buttons are usually sealed with a sealing ring. The sealing effect will slowly deteriorate as the number of times of use increases, resulting in the lowering of the button's sealing ability and the inability to maintain the sealing stability.
A new self-sealing button is designed, using a structure that combines a plastic shell and a silicone cap. It avoids water seepage through a waterproof film and an elastic filling ring. It uses multiple clamping joints and a compression sleeve to drive the sealing ring for extrusion, so as to achieve a tight fit between the silicone cap and the sealing ring and achieve a self-sealing effect.
It effectively avoids water seepage between the plastic shell and the silicone cap, maintains the stability of the sealing ring when sliding and pressing the silicone cap, and extends the sealing life of the button.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of buttons, in particular to a novel self-sealing button. Background Art
[0002] A button is a commonly used control electrical component, often used to connect or disconnect a "control circuit" (in which the current is very small) to achieve the purpose of controlling the operation of a motor or other electrical equipment. The working principle of a button is very simple. For a normally open contact, the circuit is disconnected before the button is pressed. After the button is pressed, the normally open contact is connected and the circuit is connected; for a normally closed contact, the contact is closed before the button is pressed. After the button is pressed, the contact is disconnected and the circuit is disconnected. When using a button for switch operation, the button needs to be kept waterproof in a complex environment.
[0003] Existing waterproof buttons usually use sealing rings for sealing. The sealing effect will gradually deteriorate as the number of times the button is used increases, resulting in reduced sealing of the button and failure to maintain a stable seal. Therefore, it does not meet existing needs. We have proposed a new type of self-sealing button. Utility Model Content
