[0048] Embodiment 1:

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a mobile phone control button for a mobile phone case, which includes: a button base 100, a base flange 200, and a touch member 300( Figure 3As shown in [figure number], the button base 100 is used to be installed on the mobile phone case. The base flange 200 extends outward from the button base 100. The base flange 200 is used to cover the mobile phone case. The tactile member 300 is movably arranged on the button base 100, and the tactile member 300 is connected to the mobile phone case through the button base 100.

[0050] In this embodiment, the mobile phone control button can be used to control the camera. For example, the newly added camera control button in the iPhone 16 series is a touch-sensitive switch with a click experience, a high-precision pressure sensor that supports light press gestures, and a capacitive sensor that provides touch interaction. This means that users can control the camera through different pressing forces and gestures, such as gently touching to focus, pressing hard to take a photo, swiping to adjust the focal length, and long pressing to lock the focus and exposure, etc.

[0051] Therefore, the mobile phone case needs to add a touch-sensitive button to control the camera button on the mobile phone. In the prior art, the buttons on the mobile phone case are usually formed by integral casting, that is, the button and the mobile phone case are an integral structure. Obviously, the buttons formed in this way are suitable for ordinary buttons such as power and volume. However, the assembly of touch-sensitive buttons cannot be achieved. Among them, the prior art also uses a hot melt process for assembly. Using the hot melt process for assembly requires special process equipment, resulting in high production costs, low efficiency, and a high defective rate.

[0052] In this embodiment, the mobile phone control button includes a button base 100, a base flange 200, and a tactile member 300. The tactile member 300 is movably arranged on the button base 100, and the base flange 200 is arranged on the button base 100. The base flange 200 is used to be adhesively connected to the mobile phone case, which can increase the connection area with the mobile phone case, enhance the connection strength, and keep the mobile phone control button stable. At the same time, during the assembly process, the base flange 200 can limit the movement of the button base 100 to achieve rapid positioning and improve the assembly efficiency. It can be understood that the mobile phone control button and the mobile phone case are independent components. The mobile phone control button and the mobile phone case can be manufactured separately, and then the mobile phone control button and the mobile phone case can be assembled. Among them, during the assembly process, the button base 100 and the base flange 200 are used to be adhesively connected to the mobile phone case. Glue can be applied to the mating surfaces of the button base 100 and the mobile phone case and the mating surfaces of the base flange 200 and the mobile phone case. Then, the button base 100 and the base flange 200 are bonded to the mobile phone case. After the glue is cured, the assembly of the mobile phone control button and the mobile phone case is completed.

[0053] Therefore, in this embodiment, the mobile phone control button can increase the connection area with the mobile phone case through the base flange 200, enhance the connection strength. At the same time, during the assembly process, the base flange 200 can limit the movement of the button base 100 to achieve quick positioning, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the button base 100 has a proximal end 101 and a distal end 102. The proximal end 101 is equivalent to the top side of the button base 100, and the proximal end 101 can be understood as being exposed on the outer surface of the mobile phone case. The distal end 102 is equivalent to the bottom side of the button base 100, and the distal end 102 can be understood as being hidden inside the mobile phone case.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the distal end 102 is provided with a base flange 200. In this embodiment, the distal end 102 of the button base 100 is provided with a base flange 200. The button base 100 can increase the connection area with the mobile phone case through the base flange 200, enhance the connection strength. At the same time, during the assembly process, the base flange 200 can limit the movement of the button base 100 to achieve quick positioning, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0056] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 , the proximal end 101 is provided with a base flange 200. In this embodiment, the proximal end 101 of the button base 100 is provided with a base flange 200. When assembling the mobile phone control button, it can be inserted from the outside of the mobile phone case. In this way, the base flange 200 can cover the surface of the mobile phone case. Compared with the case where the base flange 200 is provided at the distal end 102, when the base flange 200 is provided at the proximal end 101, the base flange 200 can hide the glue between the button base 100 and the mobile phone case, making it more beautiful, less likely to come off, and the connection is more firm. Therefore, in this embodiment, the button base 100 can increase the connection area with the mobile phone case through the base flange 200, enhance the connection strength. At the same time, during the assembly process, the base flange 200 can limit the movement of the button base 100 to achieve quick positioning, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0057] Specifically, the base flange 200 is provided with an adhesive layer, and the base flange 200 is hermetically connected to the mobile phone case through the adhesive layer.

[0058] In this embodiment, the base flange 200 is provided with an adhesive layer, which is equivalent to that the base flange 200 can be hermetically connected to the mobile phone case through the adhesive layer, with a simple structure and easy to implement. For example, glue can be applied to the outer peripheral surface of the button base 100 and the bottom of the base flange 200, and the button base 100 and the base flange 200 are hermetically connected to the mobile phone case through the glue.

[0059] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , the button base 100 includes: a base frame 110 and an elastic connecting member 120. The base frame 110 has a through groove 111. The base frame 110 is connected with a base flange 200. The elastic connecting member 120 is arranged in the through groove 111, and the elastic connecting member 120 is used to connect the touch member 300.

[0060] In this embodiment, the base frame 110 is connected to the touch member 300 through the elastic connecting member 120. The elastic connecting member 120 can deform under pressure and can restore its deformation after the applied pressure is removed. For example, when the touch member 300 is pressed, the touch member 300 moves downward, and the elastic connecting member 120 can deform. At this time, the elastic connecting member 120 is in a stretched state. When the applied pressure is removed, the elastic connecting member 120 restores its deformation, and the touch member 300 can be reset through the elastic connecting member 120. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0061] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , the elastic connecting member 120 includes: a frame outer sleeve 130, an elastic ring belt 140, and a connecting cylinder 150. The frame outer sleeve 130 is sleeved on the base frame 110. The elastic ring belt 140 is arranged on the inner wall of the frame outer sleeve 130. The connecting cylinder 150 is connected to the elastic ring belt 140, and the connecting cylinder 150 is used to connect the touch member 300.

[0062] In this embodiment, the frame outer sleeve 130, the elastic ring belt 140, and the connecting cylinder 150 can be integrally formed. The frame outer sleeve 130 can be connected to the base frame 110 by glue. The elastic ring belt 140 is the main deforming part, that is, when the touch member 300 is pressed, the elastic ring belt 140 will undergo tensile deformation. When the pressing disappears, the elastic ring belt 140 can drive the touch member 300 to reset. The connecting cylinder 150 is used to connect with the touch member 300. The connecting cylinder 150 can wrap around the touch member 300 to increase the contact area between the elastic lining and the touch member 300 and enhance the connection strength between the elastic lining and the touch member 300. Among them, the connecting cylinder 150 can be bonded to the touch member 300.

[0063] In addition, the connecting cylinder 150 wraps around the periphery of the touch member 300, and the elastic ring belt 140 wraps around the periphery of the connecting cylinder 150. The elastic ring belt 140 and the connecting cylinder 150 can play a role in limiting, which can enhance the stability of the pressing operation of the mobile phone control button to enhance the controllability of the mobile phone control button and avoid the touch member 300 from shifting during the pressing process and avoid misoperation of the mobile phone control button.

[0064] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4, the frame outer cover 130 includes: an outer cover body 131, an outer cover flange 132, and a flange edge 133. The outer cover body 131 is sleeved on the base frame 110. The outer cover flange 132 extends outward from the outer cover body 131. The outer cover flange 132 covers the base flange 200. The flange edge 133 extends downward from the outer cover flange 132. The flange edge 133 is used to connect with the side wall of the base flange 200.

[0065] In this embodiment, the outer cover body 131 is sleeved on the base frame 110, the outer cover flange 132 covers the base flange 200, and the flange edge 133 is connected with the side wall of the base flange 200, so as to realize the wrapping of the frame outer cover 130 around the base frame 110, which can enhance the stability of the pressing operation of the mobile phone control button, enhance the controllability of the mobile phone control button, avoid the offset of the touch member 300 during the pressing process, and avoid the misoperation of the mobile phone control button.

[0066] Specifically, the elastic connecting member 120 includes a silica gel connecting member. The silica gel connecting member is arranged on the button base 100. The silica gel connecting member is used for elastically connecting with the touch member 300.

[0067] In this embodiment, the elastic connecting member 120 includes a silica gel connecting member, that is, the elastic connecting member 120 can be made of silica gel. The silica gel material is soft, has good elasticity and impact resistance, can effectively realize the pressing operation of the touch member 300, is easy to manufacture, and has low cost.

[0068] The elastic connecting member 120 can also be made of rubber. The rubber material is soft, has good elasticity and flexibility, can effectively realize the pressing operation of the touch member 300, is easy to manufacture, and has low cost.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the touch member 300 includes: an insulating plate member 310, a touch interaction member 330, and a plurality of blind holes 340. The insulating plate member 310 is movably arranged on the button base 100; the touch interaction member 330 is composed of a plurality of spaced touch interaction unit members 320. The touch interaction unit members 320 are arranged on the insulating plate member 310. The blind holes 340 are opened on the insulating plate member 310. The blind holes 340 are used for installing the touch interaction unit members 320.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 5, the tactile interaction unit 320 includes: a first metal conduction layer 321, a second metal conduction layer 322, and a metal conduction layer 323 inside the hole. The first metal conduction layer 321 is disposed on the front surface of the insulating plate 310, the second metal conduction layer 322 is disposed on the back surface of the insulating plate 310, and the metal conduction layer 323 inside the hole is disposed on the inner wall of the blind hole 340. The metal conduction layer 323 inside the hole is used to connect the first metal conduction layer 321 and the second metal conduction layer 322.

[0071] In this embodiment, the insulating plate 310 is used to connect with the elastic connector 120. The insulating plate 310 can realize the function of pressing down and automatically resetting through the elastic connector 120. The tactile interaction member 330 is used to connect with the camera button on the mobile phone to realize the touch interaction function of the camera control button. The tactile interaction member 330 is composed of a plurality of tactile interaction units 320 arranged at intervals. In this way, when sliding on the tactile interaction member 330, the function of sliding and adjusting the focal length of the camera button on the mobile phone can be realized. For example, 6 tactile interaction units 320 can be arranged at intervals on the insulating plate 310. The 6 tactile interaction units 320 can be connected to the camera button on the mobile phone. By pressing or touching the camera control button, the camera button on the mobile phone can be operated.

[0072] The blind hole 340 is opened in the insulating body. The blind hole 340 is used to install the tactile interaction unit 320. A number of blind holes 340 are opened on the insulating plate 310. The blind holes 340 are used to install the tactile interaction unit 320.

For example, a metal conduction layer can be set on the pressing contact surface, a metal conduction layer can also be set on the sensing contact surface, and a metal conduction layer can also be set inside the blind hole 340. In this way, the metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface can be connected to the metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface through the blind hole 340.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first metal conduction layer 321 is connected to the second metal conduction layer 322 through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323, thereby realizing the touch interaction function of the camera control button. For example, the first metal conduction layer 321, the second metal conduction layer 322, and the in-hole metal conduction layer 323 can all be attached to the insulating plate 310 by electroplating. For example, six copper metal conduction layers can be electroplated on the pressing contact surface of the insulating plate 310, six copper metal conduction layers can be electroplated on the sensing contact surface of the insulating plate 310, and the in-hole metal conduction layer 323 can also electroplate a copper metal conduction layer in the blind hole 340. The first copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface can be connected to the first copper metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323, and the second copper metal conduction layer on the pressing contact surface can be connected to the second copper metal conduction layer on the sensing contact surface through the in-hole metal conduction layer 323... Thus, six spaced tactile interaction unit components 320 are formed.
