Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of computer equipment, in particular to a fingerprint power-on module. Background Art
[0002] As consumer electronics, better lighting effects and a uniform gap appearance are required to attract consumers. Some current fingerprint card machine modules, such as the fingerprint power-on module of the Lenovo laptop Y series, have been found to have some defects in the structure of the lamp cover and the button during actual use. Specifically, the space for adjusting the lighting effect on the lamp cover is small, and the lamp slots correspond to the lamp beads one by one. When adjusting the lighting effect, it is necessary to re-mold the mold before adjusting the number and placement position of the LED lamp beads, which affects the verification and improvement of the lighting effect, and the cost of modifying the mold is relatively high. The button adopts a multi-arm lifting structure, and the elastic arms are dispersed around. During multiple pressing and recovery processes, the bottom end of the elastic arm is prone to displacement due to deformation, which in turn affects the recovery state of the button, resulting in uneven gaps between the button and the surrounding area, directly affecting the appearance of the product.

[0018] The following elaborates on the preferred embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making the protection scope of the present utility model clearer and more definite.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the embodiments of the present utility model include:
[0020] A fingerprint power-on module, the fingerprint power-on module includes: an annular lamp shade 1, a button 2 and a fingerprint module 3. The button 2 is assembled with the annular lamp shade 1, the fingerprint module 3 is fixed on the button 2. Two ears 101 with positioning holes are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the annular lamp shade 1. The inner ring 104 of the annular lamp shade 1 is a button hole. The button 2 includes a button body, a sector-shaped elastic piece 202, a series connection rib 203, a connecting piece 204, an elastic arm 205 and a limiting rib 206. The number of the sector-shaped elastic pieces 202 is generally 3 - 5, and they are evenly arranged around the button body. In actual production, there are 3. The radius of the sector-shaped elastic piece 202 matches the size of the inner ring 104 of the annular lamp shade. The series connection rib 203 is arranged around the outer side of the sector-shaped elastic piece 202. Three connecting pieces 204 are arranged on the inner side of the series connection rib 203. There are 3 elastic arms 205 in total. One end of each elastic arm 205 is fixed on a connecting piece 204 and the other end is fixed on a sector-shaped elastic plate 202. The top of one of the 3 sector-shaped elastic pieces 202 is removed to leave an access position for the fingerprint FPC 4, and the corresponding series connection rib 203 is also disconnected. Three strip-shaped lamp grooves 102 are arranged around the annular lamp shade 1 body. A transparent lamp groove cover plate 1010 is installed on the outer side of each lamp groove 102. A button assembly groove 103 matching the size of the series connection rib 203 is arranged on the inner side of the lamp groove 102 on the back of the annular lamp shade 1. Three through grooves 108 for the connecting piece 204 to pass through are arranged between the button assembly groove 103 and the inner ring. On one side of the annular lamp shade 1 body corresponding to the access position of the fingerprint FPC 4, there is also a button FPC access position 109.
[0021] During assembly, the series connection rib 203 is snapped into the button assembly groove 103, the connecting piece 204 is snapped into the corresponding through groove 108, the fingerprint FPC 4 is connected to the fingerprint module 3 at the top through the access position, and the button body and the sector-shaped elastic piece 202 are snapped into the inner ring 104 of the annular lamp shade 1 to lift the fingerprint module 3. When pressed, the sector-shaped elastic piece 202 can rotate downward along the inner wall of the inner ring 104 under the action of the elastic arm 205 and can quickly rotate upward and bounce back after being released. Since there are 3 sector-shaped elastic pieces 202, the area of a single sector-shaped elastic piece 202 is relatively large, which has a good bearing balance for the pressing action and is also convenient for processing.
[0022] On the outer side of the series rib 203, there are also two positioning structures, namely the hanging ear 204 and the limiting rib 206. The hanging ear 207 is arranged in the middle area of the series rib 203. There is a positioning hole in the middle of the hanging ear 207. The limiting rib 206 is arranged in the end area of the series rib 203. The assembly positions of the hanging ear 207 and the limiting rib 206 are respectively located in the spaces between two different adjacent lamp slots 102. Corresponding to the assembly position of the hanging ear 207, a first limiting slot 107 is arranged on the outer side of the key assembly slot 103. The first limiting slot 107 matches the shape of the hanging ear 207. A positioning post matching the positioning hole on the hanging ear 207 is arranged in the first limiting slot 107. Corresponding to the assembly position of the limiting rib 206, a second limiting slot 106 is arranged. The second limiting slot 106 matches the shape of the limiting rib 206. After such installation, the positioning post and the limiting rib 206 together can effectively fix the position of the series rib 203, and further fix the connection position of the elastic arm 205. In this way, after being deformed by pressing, the elastic arm 205 can still return to the initial position.
[0023] On the outer side of the key assembly slot 103, there is also an installation adjustment slot 105. The installation adjustment slot 105 is arranged in the space between two adjacent lamp slots 102. In this way, when assembling the key 2 and the annular lamp cover 1, the position of the series rib 203 can be adjusted by using the space of the installation adjustment slot 105, so that the series rib 203 just falls into the key assembly slot 103.
[0024] There is a convex block 201 in the middle of the key body. In this way, when pressing, the influence of the elastic arm 205 on the activity space can be reduced, the sensitivity of the key 2 can be improved, and the key FPC 5 can be quickly touched after being stressed to complete the switch action.
[0025] The sum of the central angles corresponding to all the sector-shaped elastic pieces 202 does not exceed 270°. In this application, the central angle of each sector-shaped elastic piece 202 is 90°, and the central angle of the empty part between two adjacent sector-shaped elastic pieces 202 is 30°. Only in this way can enough space for the elastic arm 205 to move be left when pressing.
[0026] The utility model optimizes the existing fingerprint power-on module. On the one hand, a strip-shaped lamp groove 102 is arranged around the annular lamp shade 1, and the number and position of the lamp beads in the lamp groove 102 can be adjusted according to actual needs around the button 2 for light effect verification and debugging, without major repairs to the mold, reducing the R & D cost. On the other hand, in the button structure, all the elastic arms 205 are connected in series by the series rib 203, and positioned by the hanging ear 207 and the limiting rib 206. In this way, not only the forming strength of the whole button structure is improved, but also since the series rib 203 has been positioned, the corresponding ends of the elastic arms 205 are also positioned, and the elastic arms have stronger recovery ability after being deformed by force and will not produce displacement deviation after long-term use.
[0027] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
