Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation position of a membrane switch body 103. The present invention provides a membrane switch with excellent sealing performance: it includes a base plate 101 and a sealing mechanism. The sealing mechanism includes a mounting platform 102, a membrane switch body 103, a waterproof platform 104, a sealing cover 105, a waterproof sealing ring 106, a drying device, and a fixing device. The drying device includes a placement box 107 and a perforated plate 108. The fixing device includes a positioning block 109 and a fastening bolt 110. This solution can improve the waterproof performance of the switch during use, facilitating long-term and stable use of the switch. It can be understood that the above solution can improve the waterproof performance of the switch and facilitate long-term use of the switch.

[0021] In this embodiment, mounting holes are provided on the base plate 101 to facilitate fixing and mounting by bolts.

[0022] In which, the mounting platform 102 is detachably connected to the base plate 101 and is located on the base plate 101, the membrane switch body 103 is installed in the top rectangular groove of the mounting platform 102, the waterproof platform 104 is integrally formed with the mounting platform 102 and is located on the top of the mounting platform 102, the sealing cover 105 is detachably connected to the waterproof platform 104 and is located on the top of the waterproof platform 104, the drying device is arranged in the mounting platform 102, and the fixing device is arranged on the side of the sealing cover 105 close to the mounting platform 102. The mounting platform 102 is fixed to the base plate 101 by bolts. A rectangular groove is provided on the top of the mounting platform 102 to facilitate the installation of the membrane switch body 103. A vertical cable hole is provided in communication with the rectangular groove to facilitate the cable installation of the membrane switch body 103. The vertical arrangement of the cables can prevent water from flowing through the cables and entering the interior. The waterproof platform 104 is integrally formed with the mounting platform 102 to ensure strength. The sealing cover 105 can be directly buckled on the top of the waterproof platform 104. The drying device can further dry the internal water mist. The fixing device is used to fix and quickly remove the sealing cover 105.

[0023] Secondly, the waterproof sealing ring 106 is arranged in the installation groove on the top of the waterproof platform 104. By arranging the waterproof sealing ring 106, a waterproof structure can be further formed between the sealing cover 105 and the top of the waterproof platform 104.
