[0027] <Example>

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the vehicle remote control key 100 includes a remote control key body 10 , a mechanical key 20 and a locking and unlocking mechanism 30 .

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The remote control key body 10 includes a housing 11, two buttons 12, a support plate 13, a gasket 14, a circuit board 15, a cover plate 16, a battery gasket 17, and a back cover 18. The support plate 13, gasket 14, circuit board 15, cover plate 16, and battery gasket 17 are sequentially arranged inside the housing 11 from front to back; the housing 11 and back cover 18 together form the outer shell of the remote control key body 10.

[0030] The housing 11 is a rectangular housing as a whole, and has an opening at the rear end.

[0031] Two buttons 12 are provided at the center of the front side of the housing 11 , including an unlocking button and a locking button. In this embodiment, the circumferential flanges of the buttons 12 are pressed by the support plate 13 .

[0032] The support plate 13 has a grid-like structure, used to support the buttons 12 and reinforce the structural strength of the housing 11. The support plate 13 is positioned by engaging the protrusions 111 on the housing 11 through its slots 131. Multiple circular holes 132 on the support plate 13 engage the multiple posts 112 on the housing 11, providing a removable connection to the housing 11. In this embodiment, the support plate 13 is injection-molded from PC+ABS, which offers excellent mechanical properties and a high heat-deformation temperature resistance.

[0033] Two trigger protrusions 151 corresponding to the two buttons 12 are provided on the front side of the circuit board 15 .

[0034] The sealing gasket 14 is used to seal the interior of the key to prevent moisture intrusion and has a sealing groove (not shown) that matches the two trigger protrusions 151. A support block 141 is provided on the front surface of the sealing gasket 14, located at the location of the sealing groove. This support block 141 passes through the support plate 13 and fits against the key 12, thereby generating a suitable compressive force between the sealing gasket 14 and the key 12, further enhancing the support for the key 12. In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 14 is made of a flexible material.

[0035] The right side of the rear surface of the cover plate 16 is provided with a rib wall 161 (see FIG. Figure 7), the space enclosed by the rib wall 161 and the rear cover 18 forms a key blade placement cavity (not shown) for accommodating the key blade 22. A button mounting cavity 162 is provided at the bottom of the cover 16, which mates with the button 31 of the locking and unlocking mechanism 30. In this embodiment, the cover 16 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped protrusions 163, which engage with corresponding trapezoidal grooves 113 on the housing 11 to create a self-locking effect, fully ensuring its stability. The cover 16 also has a battery mounting hole 164 at a location corresponding to the battery on the circuit board 15.

[0036] The battery sealing gasket 17 is provided at a position corresponding to the battery mounting hole 164 on the cover plate 16 .

[0037] A guide groove 181 is provided on the front side of the rear cover 18 at a position corresponding to the battery mounting hole 164. The bottom wall of this guide groove 181 is provided with a cross rib 182, and the side walls are provided with a snap 183. When the rear cover 18 is pressed against the housing 11, the battery gasket 17 is embedded in the guide groove 181 and compressed by the cross rib 182, thereby compressing the battery. Simultaneously, the snap 813 engages the inner edge of the battery gasket 17, thereby completely sealing the circuit board 15. In this embodiment, the rear cover 18 and the housing 11 are connected by a hook 184 and a slot 114 designed in a circumferentially corresponding manner. A retaining structure 115 is used to limit the rear cover, thereby controlling the housing structure and enhancing the stability of the key structure.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mechanical key 20 includes a handle base 21 and a key blade 22 , and the key blade 22 is fixed on the handle base 21 through a pin shaft 23 .

[0039] refer to Figures 3 to 6 The locking and unlocking mechanism 30 is used to lock or unlock the mechanical key 20 and the remote control key body 10, and includes a button 31, a return spring 32, and a button hook 33 and a key hook 34 that cooperate with each other.

[0040] The button 31 is movably mounted in the button mounting cavity 162 on the cover plate 16 .

[0041] Both ends of the return spring 32 abut against the inner end of the button 31 and the inner wall of the housing 11 respectively.

[0042] The button hook 33 is fixedly disposed on the inner end portion of the button 31 . In this embodiment, the button hook 33 and the button 31 are integrally formed.

[0043] The key hook 34 is fixedly disposed on the handle base 21 . In this embodiment, the key hook 34 and the handle base 21 are integrally formed.

[0044] When the key blade 22 is inserted into the key blade placement cavity, the handle base 22 fits against the bottom surface of the shell 11, and the key hook 34 is engaged with the button hook 33 to lock the mechanical key 20 and the remote control key body 10; when the button 31 is pressed, the button 31 drives the button hook 33 to separate from the key hook 34 to unlock the mechanical key 20 and the remote control key body 10. At the same time, the mechanical key 20 can be pulled outward to separate the mechanical key 20 from the remote control key body 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the handle base 21 is provided with a handle base limiting groove 211 and a handle base limiting protrusion 212. The bottom of the housing is provided with a housing limiting protrusion 116 and a housing limiting groove 117, which respectively cooperate with the handle base limiting groove 211 and the handle base limiting protrusion 212. When the key blade 22 is inserted into the key blade receiving cavity, the key hook 34 engages with the button hook 33, while the handle base limiting groove 211 and the handle base limiting protrusion 212 engage with the housing limiting protrusion 116 and the housing limiting groove 117, respectively, effectively preventing the mechanical key 20 from tilting.

[0046] In this embodiment, two spaced-apart, raised rails 118 are provided within the housing 11. The inner end of the button 31 is movably mounted between these rails 118, enhancing the stability and reliability of the button's movement. Furthermore, the inner end of the button 31 has a limiting boss 311, and the top end of the rail 118 is provided with a limiting structure 119 that matches the limiting boss 311 and limits the travel of the button 31.

[0047] In this embodiment, the front and rear sides of the housing 11 are provided with front and rear decorative members 11a and 11b, both of which are adhered to the surface of the housing 11 by adhesive. A rear cover decorative member 18a is provided on the rear cover 18, secured to the rear cover 18 by two sets of reverse snap fasteners. These front and rear decorative members 11a, 11b, and 18a are injection-molded acrylic, offering high transparency and gloss, enhancing the key's overall aesthetics and adding a sense of technology. Furthermore, this material offers wear resistance comparable to aluminum, easily withstanding scratches from daily use and improving the durability of the appearance.
