DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0023] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the technical solutions of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, so they are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the present utility model belongs.
[0025] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a concave - embedded elevator induction key, including a housing 100, a concave - embedded key 200, and a circuit board 300.
[0026] The front part of the housing 100 is provided with a key cavity 110, and an annular boss 120 is provided on the inner peripheral edge at the front end of the key cavity 110.
[0027] The recessed key 200 is arranged in the key cavity 110. The middle part of the recessed key 200 has a groove part 210, and the opening of the groove part 210 faces the front side. An annular groove part 220 is arranged around the recessed key 200, and the opening of the annular groove part 220 faces the rear side. The outer ring of the annular groove part 220 is adapted to be inside the annular boss 120, and a limiting ring 230 that abuts against the rear end of the annular boss 120 is arranged at the rear end of the outer ring of the annular groove part 220.
[0028] The circuit board 300 is arranged behind the recessed key 200 and fixed in the key cavity 110. A button 310 that abuts against the rear side of the groove part 210 of the recessed key 200 and a sensing unit that is embedded in the annular groove part 220 and can sense the sensing object extending into the groove part 210 are electrically connected on the circuit board 300. When the sensing unit senses that a sensing object extends into the groove part 210, a key signal is triggered.
[0029] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the sensing unit includes a transmitting end 321 and a receiving end 322. The transmitting end 321 is used to emit an optical signal into the interior of the groove part 210, and the optical signal can pass through the side wall of the groove part 210. The receiving end 322 is used to receive the optical signal emitted by the transmitting end 321. The transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322 are arranged on two opposite sides of the annular groove part 220. When the receiving end 322 detects that a sensing object extends into the groove part 210 and blocks the optical signal emitted by the transmitting end 321, a key signal is triggered. That is, when a finger extends into the groove part 210, the finger will block the optical signal, and the optical signal received by the receiving end 322 immediately decreases, so as to achieve high-sensitivity feedback and enable the subsequent control process to proceed smoothly.
[0030] In order to fixedly install the transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322, two support plates 323 that respectively extend into both sides of the annular groove part 220 are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the circuit board 300, and the transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322 are fixedly arranged on the opposite inner sides of the two support plates 323 in one-to-one correspondence.
[0031] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the sensing unit includes a transmitting end 321 and a receiving end 322. The transmitting end 321 is used to emit an optical signal into the interior of the groove portion 210. The optical signal can pass through the side wall of the groove portion 210. The receiving end 322 is used to receive the optical signal emitted by the transmitting end 321. The transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322 are arranged on the same side of the annular groove portion 220. When the receiving end 322 detects that an inducer extends into the groove portion 210 and reflects the optical signal emitted by the transmitting end 321, a key signal is triggered. That is, when a finger extends into the groove portion 210, the finger will reflect the optical signal emitted by the transmitting end 321, so that the receiving end 322 receives the reflected optical signal, thereby achieving high-sensitivity feedback and enabling the subsequent control process to proceed smoothly.
[0032] Similarly, in order to fixedly install the transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322, a support plate 323 extending into the annular groove portion 220 is provided on the front side of the circuit board 300. Both the transmitting end 321 and the receiving end 322 are installed on the side of the support plate 323 facing the groove portion 210.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the recessed key 200 is made of a light-transmitting material. A light-emitting lamp bead 330 that works when the key signal is triggered is provided on the circuit board 300. When the key signal is triggered, the light-emitting lamp bead 330 emits light to illuminate the recessed key 200, which is beneficial for judging whether the key signal is triggered.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a rear cover 130 is provided on the rear side of the housing 100. A spring 400 surrounding the circuit board 300 is supported between the rear cover 130 and the limiting ring 230, which can ensure that the recessed key 200 can bounce back smoothly after being pressed.
[0035] In order to facilitate the positioning and installation of the circuit board 300 and the spring 400, an installation convex ring 131 is provided on the front side of the rear cover 130. The circuit board 300 is fixed within the installation convex ring 131, and the rear end of the spring 400 is positioned outside the installation convex ring 131.
[0036] In order to facilitate fixing the rear cover 130 on the rear side of the housing, a connecting ring 140 protruding outward is provided at the rear end of the housing 100. The rear cover 130 and the connecting ring 140 are fixed by bolts 150.
[0037] When assembling the above-mentioned recessed elevator induction key, first install the recessed key 200 into the key cavity 110 from the rear side of the housing 100, then fixedly install the circuit board 300 and the spring 400 on the installation convex ring 131 of the rear cover 130 respectively, then align and insert the circuit board 300 and the spring 400 on the rear cover 130 into the key cavity 110, and finally fix the rear cover 130 at the rear end of the housing 100.
[0038] The concave-embedded elevator induction button provided by the present application has two triggering methods. One method is to insert an induction object such as a finger into the groove portion 210 of the concave-embedded button 200. When the induction unit senses that an induction object has been inserted into the groove portion 210, a button signal is triggered. The finger does not need to contact the button to trigger the button signal. The other method is to directly press the button 310 through the concave-embedded button 200 to trigger the button signal. Therefore, the present application can implement two triggering methods: non-contact induction and pressing. Moreover, an induction object such as a finger needs to be inserted into the groove portion 210 to achieve non-contact induction triggering, which can effectively prevent accidental triggering of the button.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features. These modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims and the description of the present invention.
