[0031] The terms "first" and "second" in the present invention are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor as limiting the order of precedence.

[0032] The utility model provides a switch structure, including a housing 11, a control panel 13 connected to the housing 11, and a button 12 connected to the surface of the housing 11 and extending to one side of the control panel 13. A control button 131 is provided on the control panel 13. The button 12 includes a soft rubber plate 121 connected to the surface of the housing 11 and a first special-shaped column 122 located between the control button 131 and the soft rubber plate 121. The first special-shaped column 122 is made of hard rubber material. The middle position of the first special-shaped column 122 is in contact with the control button 131. The housing 11 is used to install the control panel 13 and the button 12. The button 12 is used to press the control button 131 of the control panel 13, so that the control panel 13 can be manually operated. When the control button 131 is pressed, When the soft rubber plate 121 is pressed, since there is a first special-shaped column 122 below the soft rubber plate 121, the soft rubber plate 121 applies force to the first special-shaped column 122, and the first special-shaped column 122 moves downward in a direction away from the soft rubber plate 121, thereby pressing the control button 131. Due to the action of the first special-shaped column 122, when the soft rubber plate 121 is pressed, even if the edge of the soft rubber plate 121 is pressed, when the soft rubber plate 121 is deformed and abuts against the first special-shaped column 122, the soft rubber plate 121 can drive the first special-shaped column 122 to move toward the direction of the control button 131, so that the control button 131 can be pressed stably, effectively reducing the problem that the button 12 cannot press the control button 131 or cannot trigger the control button 131, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the soft rubber plate of the switch structure of the present invention. The soft rubber plate 121 is also provided with a first special-shaped groove 1212 for connecting and limiting the first special-shaped column 122. The first special-shaped column 122 is connected in the first special-shaped groove 1212. The first special-shaped groove 1212 limits the first special-shaped column 122 to prevent the first special-shaped column 122 from shaking in the soft rubber plate 121.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the first special-shaped column of the switch structure of the present invention. A second special-shaped groove 1221 is provided in the first special-shaped column 122. A second special-shaped column 1213 is further provided in the first special-shaped groove 1212, which is clamped in the second special-shaped groove 1221. The second special-shaped column 1213 is clamped in the second special-shaped groove 1221 in the first special-shaped column 122, further increasing the stability of the first special-shaped column 122 connected to the soft rubber plate 121, and can effectively prevent the first special-shaped column 122 from separating from the soft rubber plate 121.

[0035] The width of the middle position of the first special-shaped column 122 is greater than the width of the two ends of the first special-shaped column 122, which increases the fitting area between the first special-shaped column 122 and the control button 131, and can effectively prevent the first special-shaped column 122 from separating from the control button 131, so that the first special-shaped column 122 can stably press the control button 131.

[0036] The soft rubber plate 121 is also provided with a first fixing groove 1214 located around the first special-shaped groove 1212 and the first special-shaped column 122. When the edge of the soft rubber plate 121 is pressed, the edge of the soft rubber plate 121 is more easily deformed due to the action of the first fixing groove 1214. When the edge of the soft rubber plate 121 is deformed, the soft rubber plate 121 can drive the first special-shaped column 122 to move, thereby improving the stability of the button 12 triggering the control button 131.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the shell of the switch structure of the present invention. A second fixing groove 113 is provided on the shell 11 for placing the soft rubber plate 121. The second fixing groove 113 is used to place the soft rubber plate 121 to prevent the soft rubber from protruding on the shell 11, thereby reducing the volume of the shell 11.

[0038] The surface of the soft rubber plate 121 is further provided with a strip-shaped protrusion 1211 , which is used to give a user a prompt so that the user can quickly observe the position of the button 12 , and can help the user accurately find the position and operate the button 12 .

[0039] The shell 11 includes a left side shell 111 and a right side shell 112. A mounting plate 14 for placing the control board 13 is provided in the left side shell 111. Second limiting plates 141 for limiting the control board 13 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 14. The left side shell 111 and the right side shell 112 are used to facilitate the installation of the control board 13. The mounting plate 14 is used to place the control board 13, and the second limiting plate 141 is used to limit the control board 13 to prevent the control board 13 from separating from the shell 11.

[0040] Both the left side shell 111 and the right side shell 112 are provided with a plurality of first limiting plates that fit with the side edges of the first special-shaped column 122. The first limiting plates of the left side shell 111 and the first limiting plates of the right shell 11 are both used to limit the first special-shaped column 122 to prevent the first special-shaped column 122 from shaking in the shell 11, making the switch structure more compact.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When the control button 131 is operated, the user presses the button 12. When the user presses the edge of the soft rubber plate 121, due to the effect of the first fixing groove 1214, the thickness of the first fixing groove 1214 of the soft rubber plate 121 is less than the edge of the soft rubber plate 121, so that the position of the first fixing groove 1214 of the soft rubber plate 121 is more deformed. When the position of the first fixing groove 1214 of the soft rubber plate 121 is deformed, since the first fixing groove 1214 of the soft rubber plate 121 is located on the periphery of the second fixing groove 113 and the first special-shaped column 122, the soft rubber plate 121 is deformed. When the first special-shaped column 122 is tilted in the direction of deformation of the soft rubber plate 121, the second special-shaped column 1213 of the soft rubber plate 121 is connected to the second special-shaped groove 1221 in the first special-shaped column 122. When the first special-shaped column 122 is tilted, the control button 131 can be effectively pressed, which can effectively avoid the problem of failure of the key 12 to press the control button 131. Similarly, when the user presses the position of the bar-shaped protrusion 1211 of the control board 13, the control button 131 can be stably triggered, avoiding the problem of failure of pressing the control button 131, which is more convenient to use.

[0043] When the switch structure of this preferred embodiment presses the control button through the control button, the soft rubber plate is made of soft rubber material. When the edge of the soft rubber plate is pressed, the edge of the soft rubber plate is deformed and drives the first special-shaped column to deflect. The first special-shaped column can also press in the direction of the control button during the deflection process, effectively ensuring the stability of the button pressing the control button, avoiding the problem of invalid triggering of the control button by the button, improving the user experience, and making it more convenient to use.

[0044] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope defined by the claims.
