The insulating plate 40 is generally made of glass material, and of course, other materials such as wood or plastic can also be used; a conductive layer 50 is provided between the insulating plate 40 and the touch transmission member 20. The conductive layer 50 is provided on the insulating plate 40 to form a capacitance with the finger skin, thereby realizing inductive conduction with the touch button of the mobile phone and ensuring the normal progress of the operation; a fixing member 60 for fixing the touch transmission member 20 is provided in the installation hole 30. The fixing member 60 is annular and the touch transmission member 20 is located in the inner cavity 61 of the fixing member 60. The fixing member 60 is integrally connected or detachably connected to the protective cover body 10. When assembled in place, the outer side wall of the touch transmission member 20 is flush with the outer side wall of the protective cover body 10.
[0028] The overall structure of this solution is small and convenient to operate. By operating the touch transmission member 20, the touch button of the mobile phone can be indirectly operated. After assembly, the outer side wall of the protective cover body 10 is flat and concise, which can adapt to the user's conventional habitual operation touch feeling, greatly improving the user's experience. In addition, it can also seal the installation hole 30 to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the inside of the protective cover body 10 and causing scratches on the surface of the mobile phone.
[0029] In this embodiment, the outer contour of the fixing member 60 is adapted to the inner contour of the installation hole 30. The outer side wall of the fixing member 60 is integrally connected or detachably connected to the inner wall of the installation hole 30, and different fixed installation methods can be selected according to different needs; a positioning groove 70 adapted to the insulating plate 40 is provided on the outer side wall of the fixing member 60 to accommodate the insulating plate 40 and ensure that the insulating plate 40 is flush with the outer side wall of the protective cover body 10, ensuring the comfort of the touch feeling.
[0030] In this embodiment, a first annular groove 80 and a second annular groove 90 are respectively provided on the inner and outer side walls of the fixing member 60 around the touch transmission member 20, and the second annular groove 90 is located on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 70; when assembled in place, the outer peripheral side wall of the insulating plate 40 fits against the inner side wall of the positioning groove 70, and the thickness of the part of the fixing member 60 located between the two is reduced through the first annular groove 80 and the second annular groove 90, making this part more easily deformable and recessed, thereby facilitating the user to perform a pressing operation.
[0031] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral side wall of the second annular groove 90 is aligned with the inner peripheral side wall of the positioning groove 70, and the outer diameter of the first annular groove 80 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the first annular groove 80.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, specifically as Figure 2 , 3 shown, the fixing member 60 can be detachably connected to the protective cover body 10. An annular positioning groove 62 is coaxially provided on the outer peripheral side wall of the fixing member 60, and an annular positioning rib 31 adapted to the annular positioning groove 62 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 30 to play a role in positioning and connecting.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, specifically as Figure 4 shown, the fixing member 60 can also be integrally injection-molded and connected to the protective cover body 10, that is, integrally injection-molded. At this time, the outer peripheral side wall of the fixing member 60 is directly integrally connected to the protective cover body 10. At this time, the outer diameter of the second annular groove 90 is greater than the outer diameter of the first annular groove 80, so that the part of the protective cover body 10 located inside the second annular groove 90 is more easily pressed inward by the user to operate the buttons of the mobile phone, ensuring the stability of the user's operation of the mobile phone and avoiding the occurrence of operation failures.
[0034] In this embodiment, the touch transmission member 20 includes an insulating seat 21 that fits against the touch button of the mobile phone, and a first conductive member 22 that penetrates through the inner and outer sides of the insulating seat 21; there are multiple first conductive members 22 arranged along the length direction of the touch button of the mobile phone. When assembled in place, there is a capacitive induction gap between the first conductive member 22 and the touch button of the mobile phone to achieve capacitive touch sensing. The setting of the insulating sheet 40 not only enables the finger to form a capacitive trigger with the conductive layer 50, but also provides protection for the conductive layer 50, the first conductive member 22, and the insulating seat 21; multiple first conductive members 22 are arranged along the length direction of the touch button of the mobile phone to form a linear touch matrix. By forming the linear touch matrix, corresponding sliding operations can be performed on the touch button of the mobile phone during sliding touch. For example, when sliding up and down, the zoom in or out of the camera shooting screen of the mobile phone can also be controlled, or the adjustment of the volume size can be achieved.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 22 includes conductive plates 2a respectively disposed on two side walls of the insulating base 21, and a conductive connecting member 2b connecting the two conductive plates 2a. Among them, the first conductive member is entirely made of copper or other materials with good electrical conductivity. In this embodiment, the rotating through material is preferably used. Among them, the conductive connecting member 2b penetrates through the insulating base 21. Further, the insulating base 21 is provided with a through hole 210 penetrating its inner and outer side walls, and the conductive connecting member 2b is disposed on the inner wall of the through hole 210, so as to facilitate processing by using the existing copper foil conduction process on both sides of the circuit board and avoid cost increase caused by process change.
[0036] In this embodiment, the conductive layer 50 is conductive glue, so as to be easily pasted on the inner side wall of the insulating sheet 40. Specifically, one or more conductive layers 50 can be provided.
[0037] It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make improvements or transformations according to the above description, and all such improvements and transformations should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
