Description

Technical Field

[0002] Mobile phone cases are an important mobile phone accessory used to protect mobile phones from physical damage and daily wear and tear.

[0003] In existing mobile phones, the camera control button is a tactile switch with a tap-sensitive experience, a high-precision pressure sensor that supports light tap gestures, and a capacitive sensor that provides touch interaction. This means that users can control the camera using different press pressures and gestures, such as lightly tapping to focus, pressing harder to shoot, sliding to adjust focus, and long pressing to lock focus and exposure.

[0004] To ensure that the camera control button on the phone is not affected, a phone case with a camera control button is required. The phone case camera control button comprises a base frame, a silicone component, a tactile element, and a glass sheet. The elasticity of the silicone component allows the tactile element to move within the base frame, enabling the camera control button to be pressed, slid, or tapped. However, a drawback is that the silicone component is typically mounted on or attached to the base frame, and its color can fade over time.

[0005] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a mobile phone case camera control button, which includes: a base frame 100, an elastic connecting member 200, a touch member 300 and a glass piece 400, the base frame 100 includes a through slot 140, the base frame 100 has a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end abuts against the mobile phone camera control button, the elastic connecting member 200 is arranged on the side of the through slot 140 close to the distal end, the elastic connecting member 200 partially extends from the distal end to the proximal end, the touch member 300 is connected to the elastic connecting member 200, and with the help of the elastic movement of the elastic connecting member 200, the touch member 300 is movably arranged in the through slot 140, the glass piece 400 is arranged at one end of the touch member 300 away from the elastic connecting member 200, and the glass piece 400 is embedded in the through slot 140 and movably arranged in the through slot 140.

[0051] In this embodiment, the camera control button on the phone case can be used to operate the camera. For example, the camera control button can be a tactile switch with a tap experience, a high-precision pressure sensor that supports light tap gestures, and a capacitive sensor that provides touch interaction. This means that users can control the camera using different pressing forces and gestures, such as lightly tapping to focus, pressing harder to shoot, sliding to adjust focus, and long pressing to lock focus and exposure.

[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic connector 200 is used to connect the base frame 100 and the touch member 300. The elastic connector 200 can be deformed after being subjected to pressure. When the pressure is removed, the elastic connector 200 can restore the deformation. Therefore, when the touch member 300 is pressed, the touch member 300 can move downward along the through groove 140. At this time, the elastic connector 200 is in a stretched state. When the pressure disappears, the elastic connector 200 can restore the deformation, so that the touch member 300 is reset. The elastic connector 200 mainly drives the touch member 300 to perform a pressing movement in the through groove 140. The elastic connector 200 is arranged on the side of the through groove 140 close to the distal end. The elastic connector 200 partially extends from the distal end to the proximal end. The glass piece 400 is embedded in the through groove 140 and is movably arranged in the through groove 140, which is equivalent to the elastic connector 200 being arranged on the side of the base frame 100 close to the mobile phone camera control button. The elastic connector 200 is partially connected to the through groove 140. The elastic connector 200 does not pass through the through groove 140 and is exposed at the proximal end of the base frame 100, that is, the elastic connector 200 is not exposed on the surface of the mobile phone case, but the elastic connector 200 is hidden in the base frame 100. In this way, even if the elastic connector 200 becomes lighter or faded due to long-term use, people cannot see the lighter or faded elastic connector 200. Therefore, the elastic connector 200 partially extends from the distal end to the proximal end, which can not only ensure the connection strength between the elastic connector 200 and the base frame 100, but also make the elastic connector 200 hidden in the base frame 100, avoiding the elastic connector 200 from physical damage and daily wear, which can not only extend the service life of the mobile phone case camera control button, but also enhance the user experience.

[0053] Specifically, the elastic connecting member 200 includes one of the following structures:

[0054] Silicone elastic part, rubber elastic part, latex elastic part or plastic elastic part.

[0055] For example, the elastic connector 200 includes a silicone elastic member, that is, the elastic connector 200 can be made of silicone material. Silicone silicone 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.

[0056] For example, the elastic connector 200 includes a rubber elastic member, that is, the elastic connector 200 can be made of rubber material. The rubber silicone material is soft and has good elasticity and softness. It can effectively realize the pressing operation of the touch member 300, is easy to manufacture, and has low cost.

[0057] For example, the elastic connecting member 200 may also include a latex elastic member or a plastic elastic member.

[0058] Specifically, see Figure 3 The elastic connector 200 includes: a connecting half-sleeve 210, an elastic ring band 220 and a connecting tube 230. The connecting half-sleeve 210 is arranged on the side of the through groove 140 close to the distal end, the elastic ring band 220 is arranged on the inner wall of the connecting half-sleeve 210, and the connecting tube 230 is arranged on the elastic ring band 220. The connecting tube 230 is used to be sealed and fixedly connected to the tactile member 300.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connecting half-sleeve 210 is used to wrap the distal end connected to the base frame 100, which is equivalent to the elastic connector 200 being half-wrapped with the base frame 100, which can not only ensure the connection strength between the elastic connector 200 and the base frame 100, but also make the elastic connector 200 hidden in the base frame 100, avoiding the elastic connector 200 from physical damage and daily wear, which can not only extend the service life of the camera control button of the mobile phone case, but also enhance the user experience.

[0060] In this embodiment, the elastic band 220 is the primary deformation component. When the tactile member 300 is subjected to pressure, the elastic band 220 undergoes stretching deformation. When the pressure is released, the elastic band 220 can drive the tactile member 300 to reset. The connecting tube 230 is used to connect to the tactile member 300. The connecting tube 230 can be wrapped around the tactile member 300 to increase the contact area between the elastic connector 200 and the tactile member 300, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the elastic connector 200 and the tactile member 300. The connecting tube 230 can be bonded to the tactile member 300.

[0061] In addition, the connecting tube 230 is wrapped around the touch member 300, and the elastic ring band 220 is wrapped around the connecting tube 230. The elastic ring band 220 and the connecting tube 230 can play a limiting role, which can enhance the stability of the pressing operation of the mobile phone case camera control button, so as to enhance the controllability of the mobile phone camera button, avoid the touch member 300 from shifting during the pressing process, and avoid misoperation of the mobile phone camera button.

[0062] Specifically, see Figure 3 The elastic connector 200 also includes: a main body flange 240 and a flange edging 250. The main body flange 240 extends outward from the connecting half-sleeve 210. The main body flange 240 is used to connect to the bottom of the base frame 100. The flange edging 250 is arranged at one end of the main body flange 240 away from the connecting half-sleeve 210. The flange edging 250 is used to connect to the side wall of the base frame 100.

[0063] The main body flange 240 is connected to the connecting half-sleeve 210 to form an "L"-shaped edging structure. The main body flange 240 can be abutted against the bottom of the base frame 100, that is, the main body flange 240 can be wrapped around the bottom of the base frame 100, and the flange edging 250 is used to connect with the side wall of the base frame 100, which can strengthen the connection strength between the elastic connecting member 200 and the base frame 100. At the same time, during the assembly process, the main body flange 240 and the flange edging 250 form a half-sleeve structure, which can be quickly assembled and positioned, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0064] Specifically, see Figure 3 A concave structure 260 is provided on the side of the main body flange 240 close to the touch member 300 .

[0065] In this embodiment, as described above, the elastic band 220 is the primary deformable portion, and a concave structure 260 is provided on the side of the body flange 240 near the touch element 300. This facilitates the elastic band 220 to move toward the phone when under pressure, making the elastic band 220 more elastic and ensuring a smooth pressing operation. For example, the concave structure 260 can be configured as a concave arc or a concave step.

[0066] See also Figure 2 The base frame 100 further includes: a base body 110 and a base flange 120 , the base body 110 has a proximal end and a distal end, the base flange 120 extends outward from the base body 110 , and the base flange 120 is located at the distal end of the base body 110 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the base flange 120 can increase the connection area with the phone case and enhance the connection strength. At the same time, during the assembly process, the base flange 120 can limit the movement of the button base, allowing for quick positioning. For example, the base flange 120 can be coated with glue, and during the assembly process, the phone case camera control button can be glued together.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 1 The base frame 100 further includes a base card slot 130 , which is disposed on the outside of the base body 110 , and is used to cooperate with the buckle on the mobile phone case for connection.

[0069] In this embodiment, a base card slot 130 is provided on the outer side of the base frame 100. Correspondingly, a buckle that matches the base card slot 130 can be provided on the mobile phone case, so that during the assembly process, quick disassembly and assembly can be achieved through the base card slot 130 and the buckle.

[0070] Specifically, see Figure 4The tactile member 300 includes: an insulating plate 310, a tactile interaction member 330 composed of a plurality of tactile interaction units 320 arranged at intervals, and a plurality of through holes 340. The insulating plate 310 is movably disposed in the through groove 140, the tactile interaction units 320 are disposed on the insulating plate 310, and the through holes 340 are opened on the insulating plate 310. The through holes 340 are used to install the tactile interaction units 320.

[0071] See also Figure 5 The tactile interaction unit 320 includes: a first metal conductive layer 321, a second metal conductive layer 322 and an in-hole metal conductive layer 323. The first metal conductive layer 321 is arranged on the front side of the insulating plate 310, the second metal conductive layer 322 is arranged on the back side of the insulating plate 310, and the in-hole metal conductive layer 323 is arranged on the inner wall of the through hole 340. The in-hole metal conductive layer 323 is used to connect the first metal conductive layer 321 and the second metal conductive layer 322.

[0072] In this embodiment, the insulating plate 310 is used to connect with the elastic connector 200, and the insulating plate 310 can realize the functions of being pressed downward and automatically reset by the elastic connector 200. The touch interaction part 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 touch interaction part 330 is composed of a plurality of touch interaction units 320 arranged at intervals, so that when sliding on the touch interaction part 330, the function of sliding to adjust the focus of the camera button on the mobile phone can be realized. For example, 6 touch interaction units 320 arranged at intervals can be provided on the insulating plate 310, and the 6 touch interaction units 320 can be connected to the camera button on the mobile phone, and the camera button on the mobile phone can be operated by pressing or touching the camera control button.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first metal conductive layer 321 is connected to the second metal conductive layer 322 through the in-hole metal conductive layer 323, thereby realizing the touch interaction function of the mobile phone case camera control button. For example, the first metal conductive layer 321, the second metal conductive layer 322, and the in-hole metal conductive layer 323 can all be attached to the insulating plate 310 by electroplating. For example, six sections of copper metal conductive layer can be electroplated on the front of the insulating plate 310, and six sections of copper metal conductive layer can be electroplated on the back of the insulating plate 310. The in-hole metal conductive layer 323 can also be electroplated in the through hole 340. The first metal conductive layer 321 and the second metal conductive layer 322 are vertically corresponding to each other.

[0074] The glass sheet 400 can be connected to the tactile member 300 to form an integrated structure. By touching or pressing the glass sheet 400, the camera control buttons can be operated. For example, the glass sheet 400 can be bonded to the tactile member 300 using glue. The glass sheet 400 primarily protects the tactile member 300 from physical damage and daily wear and tear, extending the service life of the tactile member 300 and enhancing the user experience.

[0075] The base frame 100 can be made of plastic material, or the base frame 100 can be made of metal material. The base frame 100 is used to support the elastic connecting member 200 , and the base frame 100 can provide a pressing movement space for the tactile member 300 .
