It is understandable that the way in which the switch key 12 performs the switch operation is known to those skilled in the art and is achievable, and is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0040] A rotating pressing member 3 is provided between the switch key 12 and the knob 2. The rotating pressing member 3 is rotatably provided on the mounting plate 1. The rotating pressing member 3 includes a contact end 31 and a pressing end 32. The contact end 31 is located at one side of the knob 2, and the pressing end 32 is located at the top of the switch key 12. When the knob 2 is pressed, the knob 2 pushes the contact end 31, and the contact end 31 drives the pressing end 32 to press the switch key 12 based on the lever principle. The knob 2 realizes the opening and closing control of the switch key 12 by rotating the pressing member 3. The knob 2 has a multifunctional adjustment and control function, which is conducive to improving the diversification of the use of the knob 2. The setting of the rotating pressing member 3 is conducive to reducing the number of switch components to save the space occupied by the installation of the switch components.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the rotating pressing member 3 of the utility model, see Figure 3 to Figure 5 .

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the rotary pressing member 3 includes a rotating shaft 33, the rotating shaft 33 spans between the two concave holes 131, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 33 along the axis are respectively inserted into the corresponding concave holes 131. Figure 5 A limit block 14 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 33, and the limit block 14 is located in the concave hole 131 to reduce the possibility that the rotating shaft 33 is tilted upward and escapes from the concave hole 131. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the stopper 14 is vertically arranged, and the end of the stopper 14 close to the shaft 33 is contracted, so that the stopper 14 can pass through the concave hole 131. In a preferred embodiment, a sleeve 35 is sleeved on the shaft 33, and the sleeve 35 is located between the two concave holes 131. The sleeve 35 can limit the movement of the shaft 33 along the axial direction to pass through the concave hole 131.

[0045] A rotating pressing block 34 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 35. Specifically, the rotating pressing block 34 is preferably, but not limited to, a plastic block. The contact end 31 and the pressing end 32 are both located on the rotating pressing block 34. The rotating pressing block 34 is located on the side of the sleeve 35 away from the knob 2. When the knob 2 is pressed, the knob 2 pushes the contact end 31 toward the switch key 12. The contact end 31 is subjected to a horizontal thrust. Under the action of the lever principle, the shaft 33 drives the sleeve 35 and the pressing end 32 to rotate. The shaft 33 rotates in the concave hole 131. The pressing end 32 presses down the switch key 12, and the switch key 12 is in an open state. The rotating pressing member 3 has a simple structure. The knob 2 is convenient to operate by rotating the pressing member 3 to control the opening and closing of the switch key 12. The knob 2 can not only adjust the volume gain, but also control the switch key 12.

[0046] Embodiment 3:

[0048] The housing 4 includes a first housing 42 and a second housing 43, which are detachably connected. When the first housing 42 and the second housing 43 are covered, the mounting plate 1 is located between the first housing 42 and the second housing 43, wherein the stop block 14 is mounted on the inner wall of the first housing 42. In a preferred embodiment, a connector is provided between the first housing 42 and the second housing 43, and a detachable connection is achieved through the connector. For details, refer to Figure 7 The connecting piece includes a clamping sleeve 45, which is located on the inner wall of the first shell 42. The outer wall of the clamping sleeve 45 is provided with a first reinforcing rib, which is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the connecting piece. Figure 8 A clamping column 46 is installed on the inner wall of the second shell 43. The end of the clamping column 46 away from the connection with the second shell 43 passes through the mounting plate 1 and is clamped into the clamping sleeve 45. The clamping column 46 and the clamping sleeve 45 are clamped together to realize the detachable assembly of the first shell 42 and the second shell 43.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate 1 is detachably connected to the second shell 43, a threaded sleeve 431 is installed on the inner wall of the second shell 43, a second reinforcing rib is provided on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 431, and the mounting plate 1 and the threaded sleeve 431 are assembled by screws, which is conducive to the convenient disassembly and assembly of the mounting plate 1.

[0050] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In a preferred embodiment, the first shell 42 is provided with a first fitting groove 421 at the edge of the opening, and the first fitting groove 421 is specifically an annular groove, and the second shell 43 is provided with a second fitting groove 432 at the edge of the opening. When the first shell 42 and the second shell 43 are covered, the first fitting groove 421 and the second fitting groove 432 are staggered so that the first shell 42 and the second shell 43 fit each other, thereby improving the sealing performance of the housing 4 after assembly. Furthermore, the first shell 42 is provided with a plurality of sealing strips 47 at the edge of the opening, and the plurality of sealing strips 47 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the opening of the first shell 42, and the sealing strips 47 can further improve the sealing performance of the first shell 42 and the second shell 43 after covering.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7In a preferred embodiment, a bone position 441 is installed on the inner wall of the first housing 42. The bone position 441 is arranged opposite to the knob 2. Specifically, the bone position 441 is a cross-shaped protrusion. The bone position 441 includes a limiting portion 4411. A guiding inclined surface is arranged on the side of the limiting portion 4411 close to the knob 2. The guiding inclined surface is inclined from the side of the limiting portion 4411 close to the knob 2 toward the inner wall of the first housing 42. A limiting ring 442 is arranged on the side of the knob 2 close to the bone position 441. The limiting ring 442 is a circular ring and is sleeved on the outside of the bone position 441. The limiting portion 4411 is the end of the bone position 441 close to the inner wall of the limiting ring 442. An avoidance space 443 is formed between the inner wall of the limiting ring 442 and the limiting portion 4411, so that when the knob 2 approaches or moves away from the rotating pressing member 3, the limiting ring 442 can move relative to the bone position 441. The bone position 441 cooperates with the limiting ring 442 to limit the movement of the knob 2 to a certain extent, thereby improving the compactness of the structure and the stability of the assembly of the knob 2. Furthermore, the distance between the outer wall of the limiting portion 4411 and the inner wall of the limiting ring 442 is 0.2 to 5 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, etc., which is conducive to ensuring a reasonable movement space of the knob 2.

[0052] When the switch key 12 is controlled to be opened or closed, the knob 2 is pressed at the operating hole 41 , the limiting ring 442 moves relative to the bone position 441 , and the knob 2 presses the rotating pressing member 3 at the limiting ring 442 , and the rotating pressing member 3 rotates to press the switch key 12 .
