Due to the lack of physical feedback, it is difficult for users to judge by feeling whether they have accurately pressed the correct touch button, which leads to misoperation. When exercising on a treadmill, users sweat or their hands shake, which makes it more difficult to use touch buttons without physical feedback. When using touch buttons, users need to look at the screen to confirm the operation, which causes distraction during exercise. For users who are accustomed to traditional mechanical buttons, it takes some time to adapt to the switch to touch buttons. Utility Model Content

A heat dissipation groove is provided on the back of the console 1. The upper end of the fixed base 9 is convex and has anti-slip grooves. A washer is fixed to the front end of the push rod.

[0025] In the prior art, touch buttons usually lack the physical feedback provided by mechanical buttons, such as the touch and sound of the buttons, which makes users feel that the operation feeling is insufficient. Due to the lack of physical feedback, it is difficult for users to judge whether they have accurately pressed the correct touch button 3 by feeling, which leads to misoperation. When exercising on a treadmill, users sweat or their hands shake, which makes it more difficult to use touch buttons without physical feedback. When using touch buttons, users need to look at the screen to confirm the operation, which causes distraction during exercise. For users who are accustomed to traditional mechanical buttons, it takes some time to adapt to switching to touch buttons. To address this problem, the present invention adopts a motion sensing device installed between the touch button and the console 1, that is, when the user presses the touch button When the touch key is pressed, the internal push rod is pushed inward by the extrusion force, causing the slider 602 to move backward, thereby driving the connecting block 609 and the sliding pin 608 inside the connecting block 609 to move backward until the sliding pin 608 slides to the front end, thereby driving the movement sense upward, causing the latch tooth 610 to exceed the bottom of the rear end of the touch key.

After that, the user retracts his finger, thereby supporting the spring 601 to push the slider 602 forward. The cylindrical pin 604 fixes the slider 602 with the help of the V-shape, and the front latch tooth 610 also fixes the touch key, allowing the user to feel the touch key obviously sinking, thereby improving the user's mechanical sensing of the touch key and avoiding problems such as misoperation due to insufficient mechanical touch.

[0026] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the user presses the touch key, the internal push rod is pushed inward by the extrusion force, causing the slider 602 to move backward, thereby driving the connecting block 609 and the sliding pin 608 inside the connecting block 609 to move backward until the sliding pin 608 slides to the front end, thereby driving the movement upward, causing the latch tooth 610 to exceed the bottom of the rear end of the touch key, and at the same time the cylindrical pin 604 slides along the sink groove 605 until the front end V-shaped position, and then the user retracts his finger, thereby supporting the spring 601 to push the slider 602 forward, and the cylindrical pin 604 fixes the slider 602 with the help of the V-shape, and at the same time the front end latch tooth 610 also fixes the touch key, so that the user feels the touch key obviously sinking, thereby improving the user's mechanical sensing of using the touch key.

[0027] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
