For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] The embodiment of the utility model provides a cover button installation structure, referring to Figure 1-5 The surface cover button installation structure includes a surface cover 1 and a button 2; the surface cover 1 includes a surface cover body 11 and a mounting groove 12 set on the surface cover body 11, and the surface cover body 11 is provided with a first clamping piece; the button 2 includes a button body 21, the button body 21 is installed in the mounting groove 12, and the button body 21 is provided with a second clamping piece; the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are deformably clamped.

[0035] As an example, the cover button mounting structure includes a cover 1 and a button 2. The cover 1 can be mounted on the handle 7 as an exterior trim, or it can be mounted on other products. The cover 1 specifically includes a cover body 11 and a mounting slot 12. The cover body 11 is the main structure, and the mounting slot 12 is provided on the cover body 11. The button 2 can be mounted to connect with the switch 8 or other structures; it specifically includes a button body 21. During installation, the key body 21 is first installed in the installation groove 12, and the first clamping member and the second clamping member are used to achieve deformation clamping. Specifically, the first clamping member is provided on the cover body 11, and the second clamping member is provided on the key body 21. When the first clamping member or the second clamping member is deformed by force, the cover body 11 and the key body 21 are in a separated state. When the first clamping member or the second clamping member returns to its original shape, the cover body 11 and the key body 21 are in a clamping state. This arrangement facilitates the installation and disassembly of the cover 1 and the key 2, so that the key 2 is clamped to the cover 1, preventing the key 2 from falling off, and improving assembly efficiency. Among them, the first clamping member can be installed on the cover body 11 as a separate structure, or it can be integrally formed with the cover body 11; the second clamping member can be installed on the key body 21 as a separate structure, or it can be integrally formed with the key body 21.

[0036] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 Any one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member is the first clamping protrusion 3, and the other is the first clamping seat 4.

[0037] As an example, one of the first and second clamping members is the first clamping protrusion 3, and the other is the first clamping seat 4. This arrangement includes two arrangements. In the first arrangement, the first clamping seat 4 is arranged on the cover body 11, and the first clamping protrusion 3 is arranged on the key body 21. The first clamping seat 4 is deformably engaged with the first clamping protrusion 3, which facilitates installation and removal of the cover 1 and the key 2.

[0038] In the second arrangement structure, the first clamping seat 4 is arranged on the button body 21, and the first clamping protrusion 3 is arranged on the cover body 11, which can also achieve the above functions.
