Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features, which are used to distinguish and describe features, without order or importance. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is more than two.

[0036] Such as Figures 1-8 , a snap button mounting structure, comprising: a housing 1, a first positioning post 2, a snap button member 3 and a snap button fixing bracket 4;

[0037] A housing cavity 11 is provided inside the housing 1; a positioning groove 12 is provided in the housing cavity 11; the lower half 22 of the first positioning post 2 extends into and is limited in the positioning groove 12, and the upper half 21 of the first positioning post 2 extends out of the positioning groove 12; the snap button member 3 is disposed in the housing cavity 11, and the snap button member 3 extends out of the housing 1 from the housing cavity 11; the snap button member 3 is connected to the first positioning post 2, the snap button fixing bracket 4 is installed in the housing cavity 11, and the upper half 21 of the first positioning post 2 abuts against the snap button fixing bracket 4.

[0038] This solution provides a snap button mounting structure, which arranges the first positioning post 2 in the positioning groove 12 of the housing 1, and presses the snap button member 3 against the first positioning post 2 by the first positioning post 2 when the snap button fixing bracket 4 is fixed to the housing 1. The first positioning post 2 plays a role in positioning and fixing the snap button member 3 and correcting the situation of uneven height caused by the deformation of the snap button member 3, and solves the problem that the existing snap button is prone to displacement and deformation after long-term use.

[0039] Specifically, a housing cavity 11 is provided inside the housing 1, and the outside of the housing 1 is the side facing the user; a positioning groove 12 is provided in the housing cavity 11. The first positioning post 2 is first installed in the positioning groove 12. When the first positioning post 2 is installed, the lower half 22 thereof will extend into the positioning groove 12, and the upper half 21 of the first positioning post 2 will extend outside the positioning groove 12; the push-button member 3 is arranged in the housing cavity 11, and the push-button member 3 is connected to the part of the first positioning post 2 extending outside the positioning groove 12. Then, the push-button fixing frame 4 is installed in the housing cavity 11. The push-button member 3 is located between the push-button fixing frame 4 and the housing 1. Therefore, the upper halves 21 of multiple first positioning posts 2 abut against the push-button fixing frame 4; thus, since the groove shape of multiple positioning grooves 12 is controllable, the size of the first positioning post 2 is controllable, and the part of the first positioning post 2 extending into the positioning groove 12 and the part extending outside the positioning groove 12 are controllable, the position of the push-button member 3 is always within a specific range of the housing cavity 11; the first positioning post 2 has a limiting effect on both the positioning groove 12 and the push-button fixing frame 4. Therefore, in this solution, when the push-button member 3 is pressed, the position of the push-button member 3 itself will not have an excessive movement range, and the position of the push-button member 3 on the outside of the housing 1 remains stable. Therefore, it plays a role in positioning and fixing the push-button member 3, and corrects the situation where the push-button member 3 is deformed and uneven; thus, this solution solves the problem that the existing push-buttons are prone to displacement and deformation after long-term use.

[0040] Optimally, it further includes: a second positioning post 5;

[0041] The lower half 22 of the second positioning post 5 extends into and is limited in part of the positioning groove 12; the upper half 21 of the second positioning post 5 abuts against the surface of the push-button fixing frame 4 facing the push-button member 3.

[0042] The positioning posts can be divided into two types. One is the first positioning post 2 directly connected to the push-button member 3, and the other is the second positioning post 5 directly abutting against the push-button fixing frame 4; and in this solution, the first positioning post 2 can be used to position both the push-button member 3 and the push-button fixing frame 4 at the same time, while the second positioning post 5 directly acts on the area other than the push-button member 3. The advantage of distributing the positioning posts in this way is that this solution can not only ensure the stable position of the push-button member 3, but also provide support points for the push-button fixing frame 4 at multiple positions, can provide positioning for the push-button fixing frame 4, and prevent uneven local stress on the push-button fixing frame 4, improving the fixing stability of the push-button fixing frame 4.

[0043] Optimally, a push-button edge 31 is provided on the outer periphery of part of the push-button member 3; part of the first positioning posts 2 are connected to the push-button edge 31.

[0044] The snap edge 31 is located on the outer periphery of the snap member 3 and can be used to increase and extend the connection sites or contact sites of the first positioning post 2 on the snap member 3, so that the first positioning posts 2 can be distributed around the outer periphery of the snap member 3, making the force on the outer periphery of the snap member 3 more uniform. Moreover, when any one or a limited number of the first positioning posts 2 are displaced, the impact on the position of the entire snap member 3 becomes smaller, and the stability of the snap member 3 is improved.

[0045] Optimally, two adjacent snap members 3 are integrally connected through part of the snap edge 31.

[0046] In this solution, it is preferably to connect the snap edges 31 of the two snap members 3 to each other, which can ensure that each snap member 3 has the same number of snap edges 31, but can minimize the total number of snap edges 31, so as to avoid clutter caused by too many snap edges 31 without affecting the fixing stability of a single snap member 3, and simplify the overall structure.

[0047] Optimally, one end of the snap edge 31 is connected to the outside of the corresponding snap member 3, one end of part of the snap edge 31 is connected to the first positioning post 2, and one end of part of the snap edge 31 is connected to the snap edge 31 of another snap member 3.

[0048] One end of the snap edge 31 of a certain snap member 3 can generally be connected to the outside of the snap member 3, and the other end of the snap edge 31 can have various connection methods. One method is to directly connect to the first positioning post 2, and the other method is to connect to the snap edge 31 of another snap member 3. In this way, the snap edges 31 of the same snap member 3 have different connection methods at different positions, and the snap edges 31 at each position are limited in different ways. The distribution of the snap edges 31 is more complex and not too single. The deformation of a certain position of a single snap member 3 has little impact on the whole, so the fixing stability of the snap member 3 is improved.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lower half 22 of the first positioning post 2 and / or the second positioning post 5 can completely abut against the bottom wall of the positioning groove 12, that is, the positioning of the lower half 22; while in some embodiments, the lower half 22 of the first positioning post 2 and / or the second positioning post 5 is in a suspended state, specifically:

[0050] The first positioning post 2 and / or the second positioning post 5 is separated by a central part 23 between the upper half 21 and the lower half 22; the central part 23 is limited at the notch of the positioning groove 12; the first positioning post 2 is connected to the snap member 3 through its own central part 23.

[0051] Generally, the outer diameter of the central part 23 can be larger than the inner diameter of the notch of the positioning groove 12. Therefore, the central part 23 is limited to the notch of the positioning groove 12, and one side of the central part 23 abuts against the notch of the positioning groove 12 to limit the lower half part 22 from further entering the positioning groove 12, ensuring that the height of each first positioning post 2 and / or second positioning post 5 extending into the positioning groove 12 is close, thus avoiding unevenness. For the first positioning post 2, the central part 23 can not only position the first positioning post 2 at the notch of the positioning groove 12, but also provide a working position for connecting the button component 3. For example, in the optimal embodiment, the central part 23 can connect the button edge 31, and the structural distribution is ingenious.

[0052] Optimally, the first positioning post 2 is detachably connected to the button component 3.

[0053] The first positioning post 2 can be installed on the button component 3 by snap connection. For example, one of them is provided with a card slot and the other is provided with a card block. The card block is snapped into the card slot, and the two can be connected into one body. Therefore, when any first positioning post 2 is severely damaged, it can be conveniently disassembled and replaced. In addition, the known detachable connection methods can also be screw fixation, magnetic fixation, etc.

[0054] Optimally, the first positioning post 2 is integrally combined with the button component 3.

[0055] The first positioning post 2 and the button component 3 are integrally formed during molding, or can also be integrally formed after molding. Since the first positioning post 2 and the button component 3 are integrally combined, when picking up the button component 3, it will carry the first positioning post 2. Only need to align each first positioning post 2 with different positioning grooves 12 to complete the fixation, without the need to install the first positioning post 2 and the button component 3 step by step into the shell cavity 11, and the installation process is more simplified. In addition, the known integral combination methods can also be welding fixation or glue fixation, etc., and can even be integrally formed during mold molding.

[0056] A control box includes: a functional fixing plate 6 and a button installation structure according to any of the above embodiments.

[0057] The functional fixing plate 6 is limited to the shell cavity 11; the reverse side of the functional fixing plate 6 abuts against the button fixing frame 4.

[0058] The front surface of the functional fixing plate 6 is provided with a functional fixing structure 63; or the functional fixing plate 6 is provided with a hollow opening 62, and the functional fixing structure 63 provided on the button fixing frame 4 passes through the hollow opening 62, and the button fixing frame 4 is located on the front surface of the functional fixing plate 6.

[0059] The functional fixing structure 63 is used to fix any structure to the functional fixing plate 6.

[0060] This solution can apply the snap button installation structure to any known control box. The functional fixing plate 6 can be used to install or connect any functional structure 7 other than any snap button installation structure, such as a battery panel for power supply, a button board, a radiator, a control board, etc. Specifically, the functional fixing plate 6 is positioned in the housing cavity 11 in a known manner, such as fixing by a hook, fixing by a slot and a block, welding, gluing, etc. Here, taking the hook fixing as an example, as Figure 2 shown in, the housing cavity 11 is provided with a hook 15, and the hook 15 is clamped to the functional fixing plate 6, thereby positioning the functional fixing plate 6 in the housing cavity 11. After the functional fixing plate 6 is positioned in the housing cavity 11, the reverse side of the functional fixing plate 6 abuts against the snap button fixing frame 4, or it can be regarded as pressing the snap button fixing frame 4 against the housing cavity 11, so that the snap button fixing frame 4 is regarded as installed in the housing cavity 11. And in this solution, any functional structure 7 is fixed to the functional fixing plate 6 through the functional fixing structure 63. In one embodiment, the functional fixing structure 63 is directly installed on the functional fixing plate 6. In one embodiment, the functional fixing structure 63 is provided on the snap button fixing frame 4. After the snap button fixing frame 4 passes through the hollow opening 62 provided on the functional fixing plate 6, it extends from the front side of the snap button fixing frame 4. In this way, any functional structure 7 can be directly installed on the functional fixing structure 63 on the front side of the snap button fixing frame 4, so that the functional structure 7 is positioned inside the outer shell 1.

[0061] Among them, the functional fixing structure 63 is the part for realizing the connection of any structure, and its structure can be a groove, a hole, a slit, a plate, a fastener, a convex block, a fixture, etc., as long as it can limit the structure to be installed. For example, in Fig. 8, one of the functional fixing structures 63 is a fixing screw post 63A, which is used to install and lock the functional structure 7 to the fixing screw post 63A through a screw. For example Figure 8 shown in, one of the functional fixing structures 63 is a locking groove 63B. The functional structure 7 only needs to be provided with a block, and then it can be installed in the locking groove 63B through the block.

[0062] Optimally, the functional fixing plate 6 is provided with a knob main body 61; the snap button fixing frame 4 and the outer shell 1 are provided with a knob through hole 41, and the knob main body 61 passes through the knob through hole 41 and is placed outside the outer shell 1.

[0063] Some of the functional fixing plates 6 themselves can also be provided with a certain number of functional elements, such as the knob main body 61. The knob main body 61 can pass through the knob through hole 41 and the outer shell 1. The knob main body 61 is located outside the outer shell 1. The position of the knob main body 61 does not affect the distribution of the first positioning post 2, the snap button member 3 and the snap button fixing frame 4 in the snap button installation structure. A single control box has both the snap button member 3 and the knob main body 61, and the control method of the control box is rich.

[0064] The knob main body 61 can also be installed with a knob shell outside the outer shell 1 as needed to improve the aesthetics.
