[0035] The present disclosure provides a magnetic button structure installed in a through hole of a main housing of a mobile power device. The magnetic button structure includes a button body and a magnetic attraction assembly. The button body includes a convex key and a limiting baffle; the convex key is located on one side of the limiting baffle, the convex key is used for being movably positioned in the through hole, and the other side of the limiting baffle is used for abutting against a micro switch of a circuit board; the magnetic attraction assembly includes a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member with opposite polarities; one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is embedded in the limiting baffle, and the other of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is used for being embedded in the main housing. The projection surface of the first magnetic member partially overlaps with the projection surface of the second magnetic member, so that the button body fits against the main housing, and the projection surface is a plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the convex key.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , for a better understanding of the magnetic button structure 10 of the present application, the following further explains the magnetic button structure 10:

[0037] The magnetic attraction button structure 10 of an embodiment is installed in the through hole 301 of the main housing 300 of the mobile power device 20. The magnetic attraction button structure 10 includes a button body 100 and a magnetic attraction component 200. The button body 100 includes a convex key 110 and a limiting baffle 120; the convex key 110 is located on one side of the limiting baffle 120, the convex key 110 is used for being movably positioned in the through hole 301, and the other side of the limiting baffle 120 is used for abutting against the micro switch 510 of the circuit board 500; the magnetic attraction component 200 includes a first magnetic member 210 and a second magnetic member 220 with opposite polarities; one of the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 is embedded on the limiting baffle 120, and the other of the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 is used for being embedded in the main housing 300. The projection surface of the first magnetic member 210 partially overlaps with the projection surface of the second magnetic member 220, so that the button body 100 fits against the main housing 300. The projection surface is a plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the convex key 110.

[0038] In this embodiment, by embedding one of the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 on the limiting baffle 120, and the other of the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 is used for being embedded in the main housing 300, a magnetic attraction force that attracts each other is generated between the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220. The magnetic attraction button structure 10 of the present utility model does not need to adopt a hot melting connection method, which better saves the internal space of the mobile power device 20; at the same time, the assembler only needs to simply align the convex key 110 with the through hole 301, that is, through the magnetic force between the second magnetic member 220 and the first magnetic member 210, to cause the limiting baffle 120 of the button body 100 to be attracted and closely attached to the inner wall of the main housing 300, and the other side of the limiting baffle 120 abuts against the micro switch 510 of the circuit board 500, realizing the precise and rapid assembly of the button body 100, thus effectively improving the assembly convenience of the magnetic attraction button structure 10.

[0039] It should be supplemented and explained that in this embodiment, the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 are specifically magnets. And, the micro switch 510 of the circuit board 500 belongs to the prior art. The micro switch 510 has the ability to elastically recover after being pressed, and its working principle will not be elaborated.

[0040] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the first magnetic member 210 is embedded in the limit baffle 120, and the second magnetic member 220 is used to be embedded in the main housing 300. In one embodiment, the limit baffle 120 is coated on the outer peripheral wall of the first magnetic member 210. In one embodiment, the first magnetic member 210 is cylindrical. In one embodiment, the number of the first magnetic members 210 is multiple, and the multiple first magnetic members 210 are arranged along the periphery of the limit baffle 120.

[0041] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the key body 100 is an integrally formed injection molded part. Therefore, before the key body 100 is injection molded, multiple cylindrical first magnetic members 210 can be positioned in the molding cavity, so that when the injection glue is filled in the molding cavity, it can fully coat the outer peripheral wall of each first magnetic member 210.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first magnetic member 210 is embedded in the limit baffle 120, while the second magnetic member 220 is embedded in the main housing 300; it can be understood that in other embodiments, the embedding positions of the first magnetic member 210 and the second magnetic member 220 are opposite. For example, in another embodiment, the second magnetic member 220 is embedded in the limit baffle 120, while the first magnetic member 210 is embedded in the main housing 300. In this way, the limit baffle 120 of the key body 100 can still be attracted and closely attached to the inner wall of the main housing 300 through the magnetic force between the second magnetic member 220 and the first magnetic member 210.

[0043] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, the projected area of the limit baffle 120 on the projection plane is larger than the projected area of the convex key 110 on the projection plane, and the projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the convex key 110. In this way, the sliding of the convex key 110 is limited by the limit baffle 120.

[0044] It should be added that as Figure 2 shown, the direction indicated by the X double-headed arrow is the sliding direction of the convex key 110.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5, this application also provides a mobile power device 20, including the magnetic suction key structure 10 described in any of the above embodiments. The mobile power device 20 further includes a main housing 300, an upper shell cover plate 400, and a circuit board 500. The main housing 300 is provided with a through hole 301. The upper shell cover plate 400 is covered on the main housing 300. The main housing 300 and the upper shell cover plate 400 jointly enclose a battery inner cavity 302. The through hole 301 is communicated with the battery inner cavity 302. The circuit board 500 is fixedly installed in the battery inner cavity 302.

[0046] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned mobile power device 20 applies the magnetic suction key structure 10, so that the power button of the mobile power device 20 has better assembly convenience and assembly efficiency.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, the upper shell cover plate 400 is snap-connected to the main housing 300, so that the upper shell cover plate 400 and the main housing 300 can be quickly assembled.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in one embodiment, a pressing convex portion 1210 protrudes from a side of the limiting baffle 120 facing away from the convex key 110, and the pressing convex portion 1210 abuts against the micro switch 510. In one embodiment, the upper shell cover plate 400 is provided with a first limiting convex strip 410 and a second limiting convex strip 420. Both the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420 are located in the battery inner cavity 302. Both the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420 are located on the other side of the limiting baffle 120, and the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420 respectively abut against both sides of the pressing convex portion 1210.

[0049] It can be understood that since the key body 100 is an integrally formed structural injection molding, when the convex key 110 is pressed by an external force, the convex key 110 will drive the pressing convex portion 1210 to press the micro switch 510. At the same time, the convex key 110 will also synchronously drive the other side of the limiting baffle 120 to respectively abut against the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420. Since the key stroke of the magnetic suction key structure 10 in this embodiment is short, the deformation amounts of the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420 respectively squeezed are small, and even can be ignored. In this way, there is no need to worry about the problem that the first limiting convex strip 410 and the second limiting convex strip 420 are deformed and broken with the accumulation of the number of presses of the convex key 110.

[0050] Furthermore, the first limiting rib 410 and the second limiting rib 420 can also form an overall movement limit for the key body 100, ensuring the stability of the convex key 110 when pressed, avoiding the problem of the convex key 110 being pressed and deflected, and thus preventing the key jamming problem.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the limiting baffle 120 is provided with a structural groove 1201, and a part of the pressing convex portion 1210 is caught in the structural groove 1201.

[0052] It can be understood that the provision of the structural groove 1201 is conducive to the lightweight design of the key body 100, reducing the amount of plastic required for the injection molding of the key body 100; and, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the pressing convex portion 1210 is cross-shaped, effectively strengthening the structural strength of the key body 100.

[0053] It should be noted that the cross-section of the pressing convex portion 1210 includes but is not limited to cross-shaped or circular.

[0054] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in one embodiment, the through hole 301 is correspondingly arranged with the micro switch 510 of the circuit board 500. In this way, when the convex key 110 movably positioned in the through hole 301 is pressed and slides, the pressing convex portion 1210 is driven to preferably abut against the micro switch 510 to complete the pressing process of the convex key 110.

[0055] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in one embodiment, the mobile power device 20 further includes a battery module 600, the battery module 600 is fixedly installed in the battery inner cavity 302, and the circuit board 500 is electrically connected to the battery module 600.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0057] 1. By embedding one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member on the limiting baffle, and embedding the other of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member in the main housing, a magnetic force of attraction is generated between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.

[0058] 2. The above magnetic attraction key structure does not need to adopt a hot melting connection method, and preferably saves the internal space of the mobile power device.

[0059] 3. Assembly personnel can simply align the convex key with the through hole, that is, through the magnetic force between the second magnetic part and the first magnetic part, to make the limit baffle of the key body be attracted and closely attached to the inner wall of the main housing, and the other side of the limit baffle abuts against the micro switch of the circuit board, realizing the accurate and rapid assembly of the key body. In this way, the assembly convenience of the magnetic suction key structure is effectively improved.

[0060] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
