[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The embodiment of the utility model provides a multi-function button to solve the problem of conflict between the reduction of buttons and the increase of functions in the car body in the prior art. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , including a key body 1 and a PCB board 6; the PCB board 6 is used to carry various electronic components and provide line connection; the lower end of the above-mentioned key body 1 is connected with a movable ejector rod and a fixed ejector rod 7; the upper end of the above-mentioned PCB board 6 is electrically connected with electronic components; the above-mentioned movable ejector rod and the above-mentioned fixed ejector rod 7 are respectively located at the upper ends of corresponding electronic components; the above-mentioned movable ejector rod and the above-mentioned fixed ejector rod 7 start the above-mentioned electronic components to transmit signals; the above-mentioned movable ejector rod is retractable; the distance between the above-mentioned movable ejector rod and the electronic components is X, and the distance between the above-mentioned movable ejector rod and the above-mentioned fixed ejector rod 7 and the electronic components is Y; wherein X≤Y.

[0023] The electronic components include a micro switch 5 and a conductive disk 9 ; a conductive silica gel 8 is arranged on the conductive disk 9 .

[0024] The fixed push rod 7 corresponds to the position of the conductive silicone 8, and the movable push rod corresponds to the position of the micro switch 5, wherein X<Y.

[0025] The movable push rod comprises a push rod body 4 and a compression spring 2 . The upper end of the compression spring 2 is fixed in a spring groove cylinder 3 , and the other end of the compression spring 2 is connected to the push rod body 4 .

[0026] In a specific implementation, the button body 1 is pressed, and the button body 1 drives the movable push rod and the fixed push rod 7 to move downward. The distance X between the lower end of the movable push rod and the micro switch 5 is smaller than the distance Y between the fixed push rod 7 and the conductive silicone 8, so the push rod body 4 touches the micro switch 5 first, so that the micro switch 5 starts to trigger the corresponding function; at this time, the button body 1 can be released, and only the function of triggering the micro switch 5 is realized;

[0027] You can also continue to press the button body 1, the push rod body 4 drives the compression spring 2 to compress, the button body drives the fixed push rod 7 to continue to move downward, the fixed push rod 7 presses the conductive silicone 8, and the conductive silicone 8 triggers the conductive disk 9 to turn on; the micro switch 5 and the conductive silicone 8 transmit signals in turn to trigger new functions; the control unit that receives the switch signal analyzes the sequence of the micro switch and the conductive silicone trigger points as functional options, and then realizes the use of multiple functions, for example, the micro switch 5 represents the digital signal 0, and the conductive silicone 8 represents the digital signal 1; then only triggering 0 and triggering 0 first and then triggering 1 01 represent different functions of the two.

[0028] The utility model arranges a plurality of electronic components under one button to realize the function of controlling the triggering by triggering the sequence of different electronic components, thereby reducing the number of buttons in the vehicle body and ensuring multifunctional control use.

[0029] In one embodiment, the fixed push rod 7 corresponds to the position of the conductive silicone 8, and the movable push rod corresponds to the position of the micro switch 5, wherein X=Y.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the button body 1 is pressed, and the button body 1 drives the movable push rod and the fixed push rod 7 to move downward at the same time, so that the signals of the micro switch 5 and the conductive silica gel 8 are triggered at the same time, thereby triggering a function.

[0031] In one embodiment, the fixed push rod 7 corresponds to the position of the micro switch 5, and the movable push rod corresponds to the position of the conductive silicone 8, wherein X<Y.

[0032] The spring groove cylinder 3 is detachably connected to the lower end of the key body 1 ; the upper end of the fixed push rod 7 is detachably connected to the key body 1 .

[0033] A clamping block is disposed at the upper end of the spring groove cylinder 3 , and a clamping slot is disposed at the lower end of the button body 1 ; the clamping block is adapted to each clamping slot.

[0034] The number of the above-mentioned movable ejector pins is ≥1.

[0035] The initial length of the compression spring 2 is less than or equal to the length of the spring groove barrel 3 .

[0036] In the specific implementation, the block on the spring groove barrel 3 is removed from the groove corresponding to the micro switch 5, and the block on the fixed push rod 7 is removed from the groove corresponding to the conductive silicone 8; then the block on the spring groove barrel 3 is installed in the groove at the corresponding position of the conductive silicone 8, and the block on the fixed push rod 7 is installed in the groove corresponding to the micro switch 5;

[0037] Then, the button body 1 is pressed, and the button body 1 drives the movable push rod and the fixed push rod 7 to move downward, and the push rod body 4 first contacts the conductive silicone 8, so that the conductive silicone 8 triggers the signal first; if the button body 1 is released, the signal triggered by the conductive silicone 8 triggers the new function;

[0038] If the button body 1 continues to be pressed, the push rod body 4 squeezes the compression spring 2, and the compression spring 2 moves in the spring groove barrel 3. The compression spring 2 has been in the spring groove barrel 3 before being compressed, so as to ensure the stability of the push rod body 4 when squeezing the compression spring 2 and moving, and the compression spring 2 always moves inside the spring groove barrel 3; at the same time, the fixed push rod 7 continues to move downward, and the fixed push rod 7 contacts the micro switch 5, so that the micro switch 5 triggers the signal, so that the conductive silicone 8 triggers the signal micro switch 5 first and then triggers the signal, thereby triggering a new function; for example, the micro switch 5 represents the digital signal 0, and the conductive silicone 8 represents the digital signal 1; then only triggering 1 and triggering 1 first and then triggering 0 10 represent different functions of the two.

[0039] When multiple movable top rods are provided, different electronic components are corresponding to different movable top rods. The distances between different movable top rods and electronic components are (X1, X2, ... Xn). Different functions are triggered by triggering signals of different electronic components to achieve a variety of different signal function requirements, and the signals do not interfere with each other and can be controlled separately.
