Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of limit structures, in particular to a key limit structure of a key switch. Background Art
[0002] Pushbutton switches, as an important interface between electronic devices and users, have a background and development that is closely tied to technological advancements and people's relentless pursuit of convenient operation. Early pushbutton switches in electronic devices featured simple designs, limited functions, and often lacked a good feel and feedback mechanism. With the advancement of electronic technology and consumers' increasing demands for a better operating experience, pushbutton switch design has also undergone revolutionary changes. Modern pushbutton switches require not only precise operational feedback and a good feel, but also diverse requirements such as durability, waterproofness, and dustproofing. To this end, designers are constantly developing new materials and processes, optimizing the key limit structure, and ensuring that pushbutton switches maintain stable performance over long-term use. Today, pushbutton switches are widely used in various electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and smart homes, becoming a bridge connecting users with the digital world.
[0003] During operation, a key switch lacks an effective limit mechanism to prevent accidental triggering of the key, which may lead to unintended pressing. Although some existing key switches attempt to provide a certain degree of protection and limit by attaching a protective cap to the outside of the key, this protective cap is easily lost. Therefore, this paper proposes a key limit structure for a key switch. Utility Model Content

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: an empty slot is provided at one end of the shell, and the T-plate moves in the empty slot.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. The utility model is provided with a guide rod through the internal cavity of the shell, and a second spring is provided on the outer surface of the guide rod. A rubber insulating block is fixedly installed on one end of the second spring, which helps to prevent circuit malfunction or failure caused by improper key operation, ensures the normal operation and accuracy of the equipment, and can ensure that the button can be pressed quickly and accurately in an emergency, thereby cutting off the power supply or stopping the equipment operation, protecting the safety of personnel and equipment, and preventing malfunction or illegal operation in some occasions where strict control of operation sequence and conditions is required;
[0014] 2. The utility model provides a groove body and a spring 1 inside the block. The spring 1 can ensure that the key provides a stable pressure feedback when it is pressed. When the user presses the button, the spring 1 is compressed, providing the user's finger with a clear tactile sensation, so that the user can feel that the key has been successfully triggered. This tactile feedback is crucial to improving the accuracy and convenience of user operation. After long-term use and wear, the spring 1 can also maintain its shape and elasticity, thereby ensuring the durability and reliability of the key switch.

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
[0024] In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The present invention relates to a key limiting structure of a key switch, comprising a shell 11, a stopper 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the shell 11, a pressing block 13 is movably installed on the upper end of the stopper 12, a fixing block 14 is fixedly installed on both ends of the shell 11, a bolt 15 is provided on the surface of the fixing block 14, a pole plate 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the shell 11, a contact 1 21 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the pressing block 13, a groove is provided inside the stopper 12, and a spring 1 22 is provided, the bottom end of the spring 1 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove, a cavity is provided inside the shell 11, and a contact 2 23 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall, guide rods 24 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the shell 11, a spring 25 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 24, one end of the spring 25 is fixedly installed with a rubber insulating block 26, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 11, one end of the rubber insulating block 26 is fixedly installed with a T-plate 27, and a cover plate 28 is fixedly installed on the surface of the T-plate 27.
[0026] The two fixing blocks 14 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the housing 11, the bolt 15 is located in the center of the fixing block 14, and the spring 1 22 is located at the bottom end of the contact 1 21 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the contact 1 21. By setting the spring 1 22, it can ensure that the key provides a stable pressure feedback when it is pressed. When the user presses the button, the spring 1 22 is compressed, providing the user's finger with a clear tactile feeling, so that the user can feel that the key has been successfully triggered. This tactile feedback is very important for improving the accuracy and convenience of user operation and ensuring the key switch is in a stable state. Durability, a cavity is provided on the upper surface of the shell 11, and the contact 1 21 passes through the cavity and extends to the interior of the shell 11. There are two guide rods 24, and they are arranged in a row inside the shell 11. There are two springs 25, and one end of each is connected to the rubber insulating block 26. The provision of spring 25 and rubber insulating block 26 helps to prevent circuit malfunction or failure caused by improper key operation, ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the accuracy of operation, and prevent misoperation or illegal operation. An empty slot is provided at one end of the shell 11, and the T-plate 27 moves in the empty slot.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] First, connect the two pole plates 16 to the positive and negative poles of the cable respectively, and fix the fixing block 14 to the required position with the bolt 15. When pressing the button, first pull the T-plate 27 to one side, driving the rubber insulating block 26 to squeeze the spring 2 25. The cover plate 28 will block the empty slot to leave a gap. Press the pressing block 13 to drive the contact 1 21 to contact the contact 2 23, thereby connecting the positive and negative poles. After releasing, the pressing block 13 is reset under the action of the contact 1 21, and the rubber insulating block 26 is reset under the action of the spring 2 25. The rubber insulating block 26 will isolate the contact 1 21 and the contact 2 23 to prevent employees from operating incorrectly. At this point, the entire workflow ends.
