When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an easily assembled plastic button in an embodiment of this utility model includes: a button body 10, a spring device 20, and a tactile device 30; the spring device 20 is disposed inside the button body 10 and connected to the tactile device 30; the tactile device 30 includes an actuating component 31 and a conductive component 32, the actuating component 31 includes an actuating sheet 311 and actuating elements 312 respectively disposed at both ends of the actuating sheet 311, the outer surface of the actuating element 312 being a polygonal bevel; the conductive component 32 includes a conductive terminal 321, a conductive sheet 322 disposed above the conductive terminal 321, and a trigger element 323 disposed on the conductive sheet 322, the trigger element 323 having a trigger groove 324 corresponding to the actuating element 312, one end of the actuating element 312 being able to be inserted into the trigger groove 324 for contact and disconnection. In this embodiment, the trigger groove 324 is also a polygonal inclined surface, corresponding to the polygonal inclined surface on the actuator 312, so that the actuator 312 can be completely fitted into the trigger groove 324 to form a sealed structure, reducing electromagnetic interference and thus enhancing conductivity. When a large current flow is not required, the edge of the actuator 312 can be pressed against the edge of the trigger groove 324 to adjust and reduce the power flow, so as to adjust and control the touch device 30. It is convenient for personnel to operate and has strong practicality.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the button body 10 includes a keycap 11, a mounting portion 12, and a base 13. The keycap 11 is disposed on the mounting portion 12, and the mounting portion 12 drives the keycap 11 to be mounted on the base 13. In this embodiment, the keycap 11, the mounting portion 12, and the base 13 are fixed together to enhance the compactness of the button body 10, so as to drive the button body 10 to control the conductive component 32 in the tactile device 30, thereby enhancing the connection stability and the contact stability.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the guide post 113 can be inserted into the guide groove 134, and one end of the mounting plate 122 is curved, with the inner sleeve 133 embedded at one end. In this embodiment, the guide groove 134 allows the guide post 113 to slide along it, enabling the touch device to sense the touch and improving the accuracy of the touch device.

The insertion end 124 can engage and limit the insertion groove 125 and the snap-fit ​​block 139 along the embedding groove 136. In this embodiment, the insertion area 138 facilitates the insertion of the insertion end 124 on the mounting part 12, improving insertion accuracy. Furthermore, the insertion end 124 has an insertion groove 125, and the insertion area 138 has a snap-fit ​​block 139. The engagement of the insertion groove 125 and the snap-fit ​​block 139 allows for the installation and fixation of the mounting part 12 and the base 13.

[0035] The spring device 20 includes a first spring body 21 and a second spring body 22. One end of the first spring body 21 is sleeved on the guide rod and abuts against the keycap 11. One end of the second spring body 22 is sleeved on the guide groove 134 and connected to the first spring body 21.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, multiple limiting steps 325 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conductive terminal 321. These limiting steps 325 form a first limiting area 326, a second limiting area 327, and a third limiting area 328. In this embodiment, the first limiting area 326, the second limiting area 327, and the third limiting area 328 on the conductive terminal 321 allow for differentiated control of the height of the conductive terminal 321, enabling insertion into slots of different depths. This improves the practicality and stability of the conductive terminal 321, resulting in strong usability.

[0037] One end of the conductive terminal 321 can be inserted into the embedding groove 136 and is limited by the interaction of the limiting step 325 and the limiting strip 137, so that the conductive end can be limited in different limiting areas. In this embodiment, the conductive terminal 321 can be inserted into the embedding groove 136 and is provided with multiple limiting steps 325. The embedding groove 136 is provided with multiple limiting strips 137 that match the limiting steps 325. The limiting strips 137 are arranged in an inverted triangle so that the limiting steps 325 inserted into the embedding groove 136 can engage with the inverted triangle limiting strips 137, so as to adjust the degree of the conductive terminal 321 and improve its practicality.

[0038] In an embodiment of this utility model, an easily assembled plastic button includes a button body 10, a spring device 20, and a tactile device 30.

The trigger element 323 is provided with a trigger groove 324 corresponding to the actuating element 312. One end of the actuating element 312 can be inserted into the trigger groove 324 for contact and disconnection. The spring device 20 is connected to the button body 10 and the tactile device 30 respectively, so that... Pressing the button body 10 activates the tactile sensing device 30, enabling power on and off, thus improving overall compactness and touch accuracy. The touch component 312 on the touch assembly 31 and the trigger groove 324 on the conductive assembly 32, both featuring a polygonal beveled interlocking structure, ensures stable power flow and allows for control of current intensity, enhancing safety. The button body 10 has a base 13 with an insertion groove 136. One end of the conductive terminal 321 on the conductive assembly 32 can be inserted into the insertion groove 136, and multiple limiting zones are provided to control the insertion depth of the conductive terminal 321 within the groove 136. This allows the conductive terminal 321 to be plugged into different types of sockets, improving the conductivity and practicality of the conductive assembly 32.
