Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plastic keys with protective covers, in particular to a plastic key with a protective cover. Background Art

[0002] Plastic keys with protective covers are mainly composed of two parts: the plastic key body and the protective cover. The key body is usually made of plastic material, which has good durability and feel. The protective cover covers the top of the key body and is tightly connected to the key body through clips, screws or other fixing methods, forming a barrier to protect the inside of the key from external environmental influences.

[0003] However, when using the current plastic keys with protective covers, several frequently used built-in springs may fail depending on the frequency of use, resulting in the keys needing to be pressed with gravity to be used. The current protective covers can only protect the keys and cannot provide any assistance after the keys fail.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a plastic key with a protective cover to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a plastic key with a protective cover. When using the plastic key with a protective cover, an independent protective cover is installed on the outside of the plastic key, which can be quickly installed on the outside of the key through fixing blocks arranged above and below. When in use, it can be quickly and conveniently disassembled and assembled. An adjustable contact plate is provided inside the protective cover. The contact plate contacts the key. By pressing the soft plastic key, the contact plate can be pushed to press the key for operation. When the key spring fails, the distance between the contact plate and the soft plastic is increased by adjusting the adjusting bolt in the contact plate. Therefore, after pressing the soft plastic key, the contact plate easily presses the failed key to the deepest point to control the key operation, so that the failed key can also be easily used, thereby solving the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0025] See also Figure 1-6A plastic button with a protective cover, including a button body 1, which can be an independent protruding button in an independent remote control, device or home appliance. The article mainly uses independent protruding buttons in large equipment as a standard. When in use, the cover body 2 is covered on the button body 1. After twisting the four adjustment screws 5, the adjustment screws 5 rotate to drive the adjustment block 4 to move on the slide groove of the cover body 2, thereby driving the fixing block 3 to move inward, so that it is fixed to the outer walls of the upper and lower sides of the protruding button body 1 for fixation;

[0026] After installation, the set soft plastic buttons 6 will correspond one by one to each button of the button body 1, and the contact plates 7 arranged inside will also correspond one by one. After the correspondence, after pressing the soft plastic button 6, the contact plate 7 can be pushed through the connecting tube 8 to press the button of the button body 1 for use. When the button on the button body 1 loses its elasticity due to the internal spring, the cover body 2 is removed, and the two adjusting bolts 10 are rotated in opposite directions at one time, so that the adjusting bolts 10 rotate in the inner wall of the connecting tube 8 and extend. When extended to a certain distance, the contact plate 7 will also be extended through the smooth groove 9, thereby squeezing the failed button. After pressing the corresponding soft plastic button 6 subsequently, the failed button can be easily pressed more easily, so that the failed button can also be used normally.

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: as shown in the figure, the button body 1 can be an independent protruding button in an independent remote control, device or household appliance. In this article, the independent protruding buttons in large-scale equipment are mainly used as a standard. When in use, the cover body 2 is covered on the button body 1, and the four adjusting screws 5 are twisted respectively. The adjusting screws 5 rotate to drive the adjusting block 4 to move on the sliding groove of the cover body 2, thereby driving the fixing block 3 to move inward, so as to be fixedly clamped to the outer walls of the upper and lower sides of the protruding button body 1 for fixation;

[0028] After installation, the set soft plastic button 6 will correspond to each button of the button body 1 one by one, and the contact plate 7 set inside will also correspond one by one. When the correspondence is good, after pressing the soft plastic button 6, the contact plate 7 can be pushed through the connecting tube 8 to press the button of the button body 1 for use. When the button on the button body 1 loses its elasticity due to the internal spring, the cover body 2 is removed and the adjusting bolt 10 is rotated so that the adjusting bolt 10 rotates in the inner wall of the connecting tube 8 and extends. When it is extended to a certain distance, the contact plate 7 will also be extended through the smooth groove 9, thereby squeezing the failed button. After pressing the corresponding soft plastic button 6 subsequently, the failed button can be easily pressed more easily, so that the failed button can also be used normally.
