Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of buttons, and in particular to a side-shifting magnetic axis button. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the design of magnetic axis keys usually adopts a structure in which the magnetic column is installed from the bottom of the handle. This design requires a hole to be opened at the bottom of the handle so that the magnetic column can be installed into the handle from bottom to top. Although this structure can realize the basic functions of magnetic axis keys, it has some significant disadvantages in practical applications.

[0003] First of all, for mechanical keys, sound feedback is an important parameter that directly affects consumers' usage experience and product purchasing choices. Due to the openings at the bottom of the handle of traditional magnetic axis keys, the sound emitted by the keys during operation is often scattered and messy, and the sound concentration is not high. Specifically, there are three main types of existing magnetic axis key designs: the outer periphery of the core column touches the bottom, the magnet touches the bottom, and the handle touches the bottom on both sides. In the design where the outer periphery of the core column touches the bottom, the middle of the key is empty, resulting in the sound emitted during key operation not being concentrated and clear enough. The design where the magnet touches the bottom makes the sound emitted by the key harder and does not sound pleasant enough. The design where both sides of the handle touch the bottom makes the sound emitted equally scattered and messy due to the collision on both sides of the key. None of these three designs are as pleasant and satisfying as the sound produced by plastic hitting plastic.

[0004] Secondly, existing magnetic axis buttons often lack a clear sense of movement when in use. The sense of movement refers to the obvious pressing stages and feedback that users can feel when pressing a button, which is crucial to improving the operating experience. However, due to structural design deficiencies, the traditional magnetic axis buttons do not allow users to feel a clear sense of movement during the pressing process. This makes the operating experience less than ideal, especially when precise operation is required.

[0005] In summary, the existing magnetic axis button design has significant deficiencies in sound feedback and button segment feel, which is an urgent problem to be solved in order to improve consumers' user experience and product market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a side-moving magnetic axis key, which uses a solid bottoming and a side-push structure to move the magnetic component sideways, close to or away from the Hall device, thereby achieving inductive triggering. This design not only solves the problem of dispersion and clutter in sound feedback of traditional magnetic axis keys, making the sound emitted during key operation more concentrated and pleasant, but also enhances the sense of segmentation of the key, allowing users to feel obvious pressing stages and feedback during the pressing process, thereby improving the overall operating experience and the market competitiveness of the product.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses a side-moving magnetic axis button, comprising a hollow body, a movable push rod inserted into the body and capable of sliding in a straight line, and a magnetic trigger assembly located in the body and cooperating with the movable push rod, wherein the movable push rod is capable of sliding and resetting by a spring installed in the body; the movable push rod at least partially extends out of the body, and the lower section of the movable push rod located in the body is solid, and when the movable push rod slides downward, it hits the bottom surface of the body to stop; the magnetic trigger assembly comprises a magnetic slider that can be elastically reset horizontally, and a Hall sensor device horizontally opposite to the slider; when the movable push rod slides downward, it drives the slider away from / closer to the Hall sensor device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the movable push rod is also provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the magnetic trigger component; a magnetic block is provided in the slider and one end of the slider is horizontally pressed against the guide groove by a reset spring; when the movable push rod moves downward, the slider is horizontally moved away from the Hall sensing device by the reset spring, and when the movable push rod moves upward to reset, the slider is pushed to reset.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide groove of the movable push rod has a vertical section and an inwardly concave oblique section connected to the vertical section. When the slider cooperates with the oblique section, the horizontal force of the slider return spring provides a certain downward thrust to the movable push rod, forming a key operation segment feel.

[0010] Furthermore, the oblique section and the vertical section are transitioned through a curved surface.

[0011] In some embodiments, a vertical linear guide groove is provided on the main body. Correspondingly, a guide block cooperating with the linear guide groove is protruded laterally on the movable push rod. Through the cooperation between the linear guide groove and the guide block, the guidance of the movable push rod during linear sliding is achieved.

[0012] In some embodiments, the movable push rod is provided with a guide groove matched with the slider, and the slider is horizontally guided via the guide groove. In some embodiments, the body is composed of a base and a cover, and the body is hollow to form a chamber for accommodating and installing the movable push rod, and the upper end of the chamber is open, and the movable push rod part extends from the opening.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Obvious sense of paragraph and tactile feedback: The guide groove design of the movable push rod includes a vertical section and an inward concave oblique section. When it cooperates with the slider, the horizontal force provided by the slider return spring provides a certain downward thrust to the movable push rod, forming an obvious sense of key operation paragraph, enhancing the user's tactile feedback and improving the operating experience.

[0015] 2. Clear sound feedback: The magnetic trigger component generates clear sound feedback when the slider moves horizontally, so that the user can hear obvious sound confirmation when pressing the button, which improves the reliability of operation and user satisfaction.

[0016] The above-listed beneficial effects are not exhaustive of all advantages. Other potential beneficial effects and detailed technical implementations will be further disclosed in the examples or other description parts of this application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure of a side-moving magnetic axis button, including a hollow body 1, a movable push rod 2 inserted into the body 1 and capable of sliding along a straight line, and a magnetic trigger component 3 located in the body 1 and cooperating with the movable push rod 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the movable push rod 2 is slidably reset by means of a spring 4 installed in the body 1 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable push rod 2 at least partially extends out of the body 1 , and the lower section of the movable push rod 2 located inside the body 1 is solid. When the movable push rod 2 slides downward, it hits the inner bottom surface of the body 1 to stop.

[0030] In further description, the body 1 is composed of a base and a cover, and the hollow structure forms a chamber for accommodating and installing the movable push rod 2. The upper end of the chamber is open, and the movable push rod 2 partially extends out of the opening.

[0031] In terms of material selection, the hollow body 1 is made of high-strength plastic to ensure structural strength and durability. The movable push rod 2 is made of hard plastic to ensure smooth sliding.

[0032] In this embodiment, the magnetic trigger assembly 3 includes a slider 301 with magnetism that can be horizontally elastically reset and a Hall sensor 302 horizontally opposite to the slider 301. When the movable push rod 2 slides downward, the slider 301 moves away from the Hall sensor 302, thereby realizing the trigger signal.

[0033] As a further description, in order to achieve the above triggering, in terms of structure, the movable push rod 2 is provided with a guide groove 201 that cooperates with the magnetic trigger assembly 3, a magnetic block 303 is provided in the slider 301, and one end of the slider 301 is horizontally pressed against the guide groove 201 through a reset spring 304. When the movable push rod 2 moves downward, the slider 301 moves horizontally away from the Hall sensor 302 under the action of the reset spring 304. When the movable push rod 2 moves upward to reset, the slider 301 is pushed to reset.

[0034] As for the specific structure of the guide groove 201, the guide groove 201 has a vertical section 202 and an inwardly concave oblique section 203 connected to the vertical section 202. When the slider 301 cooperates with the oblique section 203, the slider 301 provides a certain downward thrust to the movable push rod 2 under the horizontal force of the return spring 304, forming a segmented feeling of key operation.

[0035] As a further description of this embodiment, a vertical linear guide groove is provided on the body 1, and a guide block cooperating with the linear guide groove is protruded laterally on the movable push rod 2. The cooperation between the linear guide groove and the guide block ensures the guiding property of the movable push rod 2 during linear sliding.

[0036] It is understandable that due to the need for durability, linear guide grooves and guide blocks usually have smooth surfaces to ensure smooth guiding during long-term use.

[0037] Through the above structural design, the side-moving magnetic axis button realizes a stable and reliable sliding reset function in structure, which not only improves the sensitivity of signal triggering, but also provides a more comfortable operating feel.

[0038] It should be understood that the side-moving magnetic axis key of this embodiment exhibits superior performance and user experience in multiple application scenarios. The following are descriptions of some specific application scenarios:

[0039] Application in consumer electronic devices: Parallel magnetic axis keys are suitable for a variety of consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. These devices require keys with high sensitivity and good operating feel. Parallel magnetic axis keys achieve high sensitivity triggering and smooth operating feel. In addition, the design of the key gives the key a sense of paragraph, which improves the overall user experience of the device. In daily use, users can enjoy quieter key operation and reduce the need for frequent replacement due to the high durability of the key.

[0040] Application in game controllers: Game controllers have extremely high requirements for the response speed and feel of buttons. The side-shifting magnetic axis buttons provide extremely high response speed and stable operating feel, which are suitable for game controllers. Players can feel the segmentation and high sensitivity of the buttons during fast operation, which enhances the gaming experience. At the same time, the durability of the buttons enables the game controller to still perform well in long-term and high-intensity use, reducing the risk of button failure.

[0041] Through the description of the above application scenarios, it can be seen that the side-moving magnetic axis key has a wide range of application prospects in multiple fields. Its high sensitivity, durability and stability make it an ideal key choice for various devices. This detailed description of application scenarios not only demonstrates the advantages of the key, but also provides a clear understanding and implementation of the invention for those skilled in the art.
