[0038] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an operating key assembly is proposed, including: a shell 110; an operating member 120, the operating member 120 is movably connected to the shell 110; an actuator 130, the operating member 120 triggers the actuator 130 by adsorption or repulsion; a partition 140, the partition 140 is connected to the shell 110, and the operating member 120 and the actuator 130 are respectively located on both sides of the partition 140.
[0040] The operation key assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110, an operation member 120, an actuator 130 and a separator 140. During use, the operation member 120 moves relative to the housing 110, and the operation member 120 can drive the actuator 130 to move by attraction or repulsion, so that the actuator assembly is in different states, thereby realizing the function of the operation key. The operation key assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the housing 110 and the separator 140, uses adsorption and repulsion to trigger the actuator 130, so that the operation member 120 can be separated from the actuator 130, and the operation key assembly can be waterproof and dustproof sealed by the housing 110. This makes it unnecessary for the operation member 120 and the actuator 130 to contact each other, greatly improving the waterproof performance of the operation key assembly, reducing the probability of the actuator 130 contacting with liquid, and can obtain an operation key assembly with excellent waterproof performance at a relatively low cost. At the same time, during the operation of the operating member 120 assembly, the operating member 120 does not need to contact the actuator 130, so the wear of the operating member 120 and the actuator 130 will be greatly reduced, which can increase the service life of the operating key assembly.
[0041] It can be understood that the operating member 120 is movably connected to the housing 110, which means that the operating member 120 can move relative to the housing 110, such as slide and press.
[0042] It is understandable that the operating member 120 triggers the actuator 130 by adsorption or repulsion, which may be magnetic adsorption, magnetic repulsion, electrostatic adsorption, electrostatic repulsion, electromagnetic adsorption, and electromagnetic repulsion, etc. In order to simplify the structure of the operating key assembly and reduce the production cost of the operating key assembly, magnetic adsorption or magnetic repulsion is preferred.
[0043] It can be understood that the operation key assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the shell 110 and the partition 140, can enable the operation member 120 to trigger the actuator 130 in a contactless manner, and can make the operation key assembly have an excellent waterproof effect. When the operation key assembly is applied to other devices, the waterproof and dustproof performance of other devices can be improved, and the probability of water vapor and impurities invading other devices through the operation key assembly can be reduced.
[0044] It is understandable that when the operating member 120 triggers the actuator 130 through repulsion, the operating member 120 can provide a repulsive force for the actuator 130 when the operating member 120 does not move, which can reduce the probability of the actuator 130 moving out of position and make the operation of the operating key assembly more stable.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the operating member 120 includes: an operating member body 121 , which is slidably connected to the housing 110 ; and a first magnetic member 122 , which is connected to the operating member body 121 .
[0046] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the operating member 120 is further provided. The operating member 120 may include an operating member body 121 and a first magnetic member 122 connected to the operating member body 121. The first magnetic member 122 may be provided to drive the actuator 130 to move by magnetic adsorption or magnetic repulsion. Through the provision of the operating member body 121 and the first magnetic member 122, the operating member body 121 and the first magnetic member 122 may be prepared using different materials, thereby improving the texture of the operating member 120 and reducing the weight of the operating member 120, thereby facilitating the sliding of the operating member 120.
[0047] In this technical solution, the operating member 120 is slidably connected to the shell 110, based on which the operating member 120 can move laterally relative to the shell 110, and then drive the actuator 130 to move laterally relative to the shell 110, so that the movement of the actuator 130 is more accurate, and the influence of gravity on the movement of the actuator 130 can be minimized, so that the triggering of the actuator 130 is more accurate.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the actuator 130 includes: a second magnetic component 131 , and the second magnetic component is actively disposed in the housing 110 .
[0049] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the actuator 130 is further provided. The actuator 130 may include a second magnetic component 131. The second magnetic component 131 cooperates with the first magnetic component 122. When the operating component 120 moves relative to the shell 110, the force applied to the second magnetic component 131 will change, and then the second magnetic component 131 can move relative to the shell 110, thereby improving the state of the actuator 130.
[0050] It is understandable that the actuator 130 can be made of magnetic material, that is, the actuator 130 is the second magnetic member 131. Of course, the actuator 130 can also include other components, such as a film structure with a small friction coefficient can be coated on the magnetic member to facilitate the actuator 130 to move relative to the housing 110.
[0051] It is understandable that when the operating member 120 does not move, the first magnetic member 122 can also generate an adsorption force or a repulsion force with the second magnetic member 131. In this case, the second magnetic member 131 is fixed, that is, the actuator 130 will be locked in the current state.
[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the magnetic properties of the opposite surfaces of the first magnetic member 122 and the second magnetic member 131 are the same.
[0053] In this technical solution, the states of the first magnetic member 122 and the second magnetic member 131 are further provided. The magnetism of the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic member 122 and the second magnetic member 131 is the same. Based on this, when the operating member 120 moves relative to the shell 110, the second magnetic member 131 can be driven to move by the magnetic repulsive force, so that the actuator 130 is in a different state.
[0054] In a feasible implementation manner, the magnetic properties of the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic member 122 and the second magnetic member 131 are different.
[0055] In this technical solution, the states of the first magnetic component 122 and the second magnetic component 131 are further provided. The magnetism of the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic component 122 and the second magnetic component 131 is different. Based on this, when the operating component 120 moves relative to the shell 110, the second magnetic component 131 can be driven to move by the magnetic adsorption force, so that the actuator 130 is in different states.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the shell 110 includes: a shell body 111, a housing portion is formed at one end of the shell body 111, and an opening is formed at the other end, and the operating member 120 is arranged at the housing portion; a sealing member 112, and the sealing member 112 is connected to the shell body 111 to cover the opening.
[0057] In this technical solution, a structural composition of a shell 110 is further provided. The shell 110 may include a shell body 111 and a sealing member 112. An accommodating portion is formed at one end of the shell 110, and an installation position is provided for the operating member 120 through the accommodating portion to facilitate movement of the operating member 120 relative to the shell 110.
[0058] In this technical solution, an opening is formed at the other end of the housing 110, and then the opening is sealed by a seal 112, which can improve the airtightness of the housing 110 and further improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the operation key assembly.
[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the partition 140 is arranged on the sealing member 112, and the partition 140 and the sealing member 112 are enclosed to form a first accommodating space, and the actuator 130 is arranged in the first accommodating space; wherein, the partition 140 and the shell 110 are enclosed to form a second accommodating space, and part of the operating member 120 is in the second accommodating space.
[0060] In this technical solution, a setting position of the partition 140 is further provided, a groove can be formed on the seal 112, and then the partition 140 is set on the groove, the partition 140 and the seal 112 can be enclosed to form a first accommodating space, and then the actuator 130 is set in the first accommodating space, and the actuator 130 can move in the first accommodating space.
[0061] In this technical solution, the partition 140 and the shell 110 are combined to form a second accommodating space, and part of the operating part 120 is in the second accommodating space. Based on this, the actuator 130 and the operating part 120 can be separated, the waterproof performance can be improved, and at the same time, the adsorption or repulsion force of the actuator 130 can act on the actuator 130.
[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the operation key assembly further includes: a functional component 150 , and the actuator 130 is used to trigger the functional component 150 .
[0063] In this technical solution, the operating key assembly may further include a functional part 150. The operating part 120 drives the actuator 130 to move by adsorption force or repulsion force. The actuator 130 then contacts the functional part 150 to trigger the functional part 150, thereby making the functional part 150 in different states and realizing different functions. It is understandable that the functional part 150 may include a detection switch or a DOME switch.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, a notch 113 is formed on one side of the shell 110 facing the functional part 150 , and part of the functional part 150 is disposed in the shell 110 through the notch 113 , and the actuator 130 is used to contact the functional part 150 to trigger the functional part 150 .
[0065] In this technical solution, the relationship between the shell 110 and the functional part 150 is further provided. A notch 113 can be formed on the shell 110, and part of the functional part 150 extends into the shell 110 to facilitate the contact between the actuator 130 and the functional part 150 and to facilitate triggering the functional part 150.
[0066] In a feasible implementation manner, a guide surface 132 is formed on a side of the actuator 130 facing the functional component 150 .
[0067] In this technical solution, a guide surface 132 is formed on one side of the actuator 130 facing the functional part 150. With this arrangement, when the actuator 130 moves, it is convenient for the actuator 130 to interfere with the functional part 150, and it is convenient for the actuator 130 to trigger the functional part 150 to switch states, making the use of the operation key assembly more sensitive.

[0070] The operating member 120 includes a first magnetic member 122 made of a magnet, and the actuator 130 includes a second magnetic member 131 made of a rack.
[0071] The shell 110 includes a shell body 111, a receiving portion is formed at one end of the shell body 111, and an opening is formed at the other end, and the operating member 120 is arranged at the receiving portion; a sealing member 112, and the sealing member 112 is connected to the shell body 111 and covers the opening.
[0072] The partition 140 is arranged on the sealing member 112, and the partition 140 and the sealing member 112 enclose a first accommodating space, and the actuator 130 is arranged in the first accommodating space; wherein the partition 140 and the shell 110 enclose a second accommodating space, and part of the operating member 120 is in the second accommodating space.
[0073] The working principle of the operating key assembly is that the first magnetic member 122 and the second magnetic member 131 are magnets, and the first magnetic member 122 is fixed on the operating member body 121. When the operating member body 121 moves left and right, according to the principle that like poles of magnets repel each other, the first magnetic member 122 will push the second magnetic member 131 to move in the opposite direction. Figure 1A functional component 150 is placed within the travel range of the second magnetic component 131, and the first magnetic component 122 can realize the opening and closing of the functional component 150 by controlling the second magnetic component 131. The housing body 111, the sealing component 112, the partition 140 and the operating component body 121 form a sealed space, which has a waterproof and dustproof effect.
