[0029] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0031] Electronic devices have buttons, which can be used to turn on and off the electronic device, switch interfaces, and other functions. When the electronic device falls and collides, the buttons will shrink, causing the buttons to collide with the circuit switch, thereby causing the circuit switch to crack. In the related art, the circuit switch and the button are connected through a silicone pad, and the silicone pad is used to achieve impact buffering. However, when the drop height of the electronic device increases, the silicone pad cannot meet the use requirements.

[0032] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides an electronic device. The electronic device is used to detect physiological parameters of the human body to determine the health status of the human body. Specifically, the electronic device includes but is not limited to wearable devices such as smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses and smart clothes, medical devices such as medical detectors and vital signs detectors, mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal computers, smart TVs, vehicle-mounted devices and other terminal devices, as well as electronic products such as digital cameras, walkmans, and radios.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in some embodiments of the present application. In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the electronic device 100 is exemplified as a smart watch, which cannot be regarded as a special limitation on the structure of the electronic device 100.

[0034] The electronic device 100 may include a housing 1 , a button 2 , a first magnetic member 3 , a circuit switch 4 and a second magnetic member 5 .

[0035] The housing 1 may have a receiving space 11. One side of the receiving space 11 may have an opening 12. Thus, the outside world may communicate with the receiving space 11 through the opening 12.

[0036] The key 2 may pass through the opening 12 and may move back and forth along the extension direction of the opening 12. Exemplarily, the key 2 may include a key rod and a key cap, the key cap is disposed outside the accommodation space 11, and the key rod is movably disposed in the opening 12 and may move back and forth along the extension direction of the opening 12. The size of the key cap is larger than the size of the key rod, which is convenient for pressing operations.

[0037] The first magnetic member 3 can be disposed in the accommodating space 11 and connected to the key 2. Specifically, the connection between the first magnetic member 3 and the key 2 can be a detachable connection, for example, by a snap connection, a fastener connection, etc. The connection between the first magnetic member 3 and the key 2 can also be a fixed connection, for example, by an adhesive.

[0038] The circuit switch 4 can be arranged in the accommodation space 11 and located on one side of the opening 12. Specifically, a carrier and a flexible circuit board can be arranged in the accommodation space 11. The carrier can be located on one side of the radial direction of the opening 12. The flexible circuit board is arranged on the carrier, and the circuit switch 4 is arranged on the flexible circuit board.

[0039] The second magnetic member 5 can be disposed on a side of the circuit switch 4 close to the button 2. The second magnetic member 5 can move in a direction close to or away from the circuit switch 4. Specifically, in the radial direction of the opening 12, the second magnetic member 5 can be located between the circuit switch 4 and the button 2. The second magnetic member 5 can move in a direction close to the circuit switch 4, and the second magnetic member 5 can also move in a direction away from the circuit switch 4.

[0040] The first magnetic member 3 has the same magnetic property as the second magnetic member 5 . Therefore, a repulsive force may be generated between the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5 , and the magnitude of the repulsive force may be changed by adjusting the distance between the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5 .

[0041] The button 2 can have a first position and a second position. In the first position, there is a repulsive force between the first magnetic part 3 and the second magnetic part 5, and in the extension direction of the opening 12, the orthographic projection of the second magnetic part 5 on the plane where the first magnetic part 3 is located can be located outside the first magnetic part 3, so as to push the second magnetic part 5 to trigger the circuit switch 4 to close. In the second position, the second magnetic part 5 is separated from the circuit switch 4, and the orthographic projection of the second magnetic part 5 on the plane where the first magnetic part 3 is located is located outside the first magnetic part 3. Thus, when the electronic device 100 falls and collides, the retraction of the button 2 will cause the button 2 to be in the second position, at which time there is no direct contact between the second magnetic part 5 and the first magnetic part 3, and because the button 2 and the circuit switch 4 realize the closing of the circuit switch 4 through the cooperation between the first magnetic part 3 and the second magnetic part 5, the circuit switch 4 can be prevented from being directly impacted, thereby ensuring the falling reliability of the circuit switch 4.

[0042] Specifically, the process of the button 2 changing from the second position to the first position is the process of the user pressing the button 2. In the process of the button 2 changing from the second position to the first position, the button 2 moves along the extension direction of the opening 12, thereby driving the first magnetic member 3 to move in the direction close to the second magnetic member 5. When the button 2 changes to the first position, in the extension direction of the opening 12, the orthographic projection of the second magnetic member 5 on the plane where the first magnetic member 3 is located can be located outside the first magnetic member 3, and the repulsive force between the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5 can reach a preset value. Under the action of the repulsive force, the second magnetic member 5 can be pushed to move in the direction close to the circuit switch 4, so that the circuit switch 4 can be closed to generate an electrical signal.

[0043] The process of the button 2 changing from the first position to the second position can be the process of the user releasing the button 2. When the button 2 changes from the first position to the second position, the button 2 moves along the extension direction of the opening 12, driving the first magnetic member 3 to move in a direction away from the second magnetic member 5. When the button 2 changes to the second position, in the extension direction of the opening 12, the orthographic projection of the second magnetic member 5 on the plane where the first magnetic member 3 is located can be located outside the first magnetic member 3, and the repulsive force between the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5 is less than a preset value, so that the second magnetic member 5 moves in a direction away from the circuit switch 4, thereby separating the second magnetic member 5 from the circuit switch 4.

[0044] According to the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5, when the user presses the button 2, the circuit switch 4 can be closed or opened through the cooperation between the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 5. And in the first position of the button 2, the orthographic projection of the second magnetic member 5 on the plane where the first magnetic member 3 is located can be located outside the first magnetic member 3, so that when the button 2 shrinks due to a collision, the button 2 can be prevented from directly colliding with the circuit switch 4, and the circuit switch 4 can be prevented from cracking, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical reliability of the electronic switch of the electronic device 100 during the falling process, and is not limited by the falling height. At the same time, due to the simple structure, the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 100 can be reduced. In addition, the structural layout has low space requirements and can ensure the flexibility of stacking.

[0045] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of an electronic device in a first position provided by some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of an electronic device in a second position provided for some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further include a slide bar 6. The slide bar 6 is disposed between the circuit switch 4 and the second magnetic component 5, and moves in a direction close to or away from the circuit switch 4. The second magnetic component 5 is connected to the slide bar 6. Specifically, when the second magnetic component 5 cooperates with the first magnetic component 3, the slide bar 6 can be driven to move in a direction close to the circuit switch 4. When the second magnetic component 5 is disengaged from the first magnetic component 3, the slide bar 6 can be driven to move in a direction away from the circuit switch 4. In this way, the slide bar 6 and the housing 1 can form a sliding pair, which can reduce the volume of the second magnetic component 5, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 100.

[0046] See also Figure 1-Figure 3In some embodiments, the slide bar 6 may have a first mounting groove 61. The first mounting groove 61 is located at an end of the slide bar 6 away from the circuit switch 4. The second magnetic member 5 is disposed in the first mounting groove 61. The size of the first mounting groove 61 may be equal to or greater than the size of the second magnetic member 5. Thus, by providing the first mounting groove 61, the second magnetic member 5 may be directly fixed in the first mounting groove 61, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the electronic device 100, and further improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0047] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, a first clamping member may be provided in the first mounting groove 61. A second clamping member may be provided on the second magnetic member 5. The second clamping member is engaged with the first clamping member. Thus, by engaging the first clamping member with the second clamping member, the second magnetic member 5 and the first mounting groove 61 can be pre-positioned, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the second magnetic member 5, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0048] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first mounting groove 61 may have a first through hole 62. The extension direction of the first through hole 62 is the same as the extension direction of the opening 12. The size of the first through hole 62 may be equal to or greater than the size of the second magnetic member 5. Thus, the second magnetic member 5 may directly enter the first mounting groove 61 through the first through hole 62, thereby further reducing the difficulty of assembling the second magnetic member 5, which is conducive to further improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0049] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further include a guide member 7. The guide member 7 is disposed between the button 2 and the circuit switch 4. The guide member 7 may have a guide hole 71, and the guide hole 71 passes through the guide member 7. The slide bar 6 is provided with the guide hole 71. Thus, the slide bar 6 can be guided by the guide member 7, and the stability and reliability of the movement of the slide bar 6 can be improved, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electronic device 100.

[0050] Exemplarily, the guide member 7 and the housing 1 may be an integrally formed part, and such a configuration may improve the connection strength between the guide member 7 and the housing 1 and help improve the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100 .

[0051] See also Figure 1-Figure 3In some embodiments, the button 2 may have a first end 21 and a second end 22 that are opposite to each other. The first end 21 is located outside the housing 1, and the second end 22 is located in the accommodating space 11. The first magnetic member 3 is disposed at the second end 22. Thus, during the movement of the button 2, the first magnetic member 3 can better cooperate with the second magnetic member 5, and the size of the button 2 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 100.

[0052] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second end 22 may be provided with a second mounting groove 221. The second mounting groove 221 has a second through hole 222. The second through hole 222 is opposite to the second magnetic component 5, and the first magnetic component 3 is arranged in the second mounting groove 221. Specifically, the second through hole 222 may be located on the side wall of the second mounting groove 221, and the second through hole 222 is opposite to the second magnetic component 5 in the radial direction of the opening 12. Thus, the first magnetic component 3 can directly enter the second mounting groove 221 through the second through hole 222, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the first magnetic component 3, which is beneficial to further improve the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100. In addition, the setting of the position of the second through hole 222 can avoid the key 2 from blocking the first magnetic component 3, thereby ensuring the cooperation between the first magnetic component 3 and the second magnetic component 5.

[0053] In some embodiments, a third mounting groove may be provided on the side wall of the button 2 facing the second magnetic member 5. The first magnetic member 3 is disposed in the third mounting groove. Thus, the difficulty of assembling the first magnetic member 3 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0054] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the moving direction of the button 2 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second magnetic member 5. "Vertical" may include absolute verticality and approximate verticality, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate verticality may be, for example, within 5°, 8° or 10°. Thus, the first magnetic member 3 can better cooperate with the second magnetic member 5. At the same time, the assembly difficulty of the electronic device 100 can also be reduced.

[0055] It should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Among them, "fixed connection" means that the two are connected to each other and the relative position relationship after the connection remains unchanged. In addition, the directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, such as "inside", "outside", etc., are only reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present application, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.
