[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0013] The utility model relates to a membrane switch with a panel repair function. By pressing the membrane button, the pressing rod is driven to descend in the guide hole, thereby preventing the pressing rod from deviating during the pressing process and accurately helping the upper circuit layer and the lower circuit layer to contact each other.
[0014] When the down-press rod is pressed down, the built-in pressure plate applies pressure to the annular airbag. When the button is pressed down, the annular airbag helps the membrane button to reset. When the rebound force of the annular airbag deteriorates, the annular airbag can be repeatedly inflated through the inflation end. Unlike the spring which will be damaged by fatigue, the annular airbag can be reused to keep sufficient gas inside to help the membrane button reset. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
