[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a silicone button for a medical call device, comprising a silicone button layer 1, a call button 3 fixedly connected to the top rear side of the silicone button layer 1, a light switch button 11 fixedly connected to the top center left side of the silicone button layer 1, a TV switch button 5 fixedly connected to the top center right side of the light switch button 11, a channel adjustment key 9 fixedly connected to the top front side of the silicone button layer 1, a channel adjustment key 6 located behind the channel adjustment key 9, a volume down button 10 located at the rear left end of the channel adjustment key 9, and a volume down button 10 located at the rear right end of the channel adjustment key 9. A volume up button 7 is installed. The installation of each button makes the accuracy of this device higher. A circular groove 14 is opened in the middle of the silicone button layer 1. A fixing mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom of the silicone button layer 1. The fixing mechanism 2 is used for the installation of the silicone button layer 1 and the call device circuit board. The front and rear ends of the left side of the silicone button layer 1 are provided with slots 12. The slots 12 facilitate the installation of this device. The top of the channel adjustment key 1 6, the volume up button 7, the channel adjustment key 2 9 and the volume down button 10 are all fixedly connected with protrusions 8. The installation of the protrusions 8 facilitates the use of the user.
[0038] Specifically, firstly, the silicone button layer 1 needs to be placed inside the medical call device. During installation, ensure that the circular groove 14 in the middle of the silicone button layer 1 is aligned with the receiving area of the medical call device. Next, engage the channel adjustment button 1 6, volume up button 7, channel adjustment button 2 9, and volume down button 10 one by one with their corresponding buttons on the medical call device. To ensure convenient operation of these function keys, protrusions 8 corresponding to the intended functions are installed on the top of the silicone button layer 1. These protrusions 8 not only facilitate user operation but also provide a better feel. In addition, a call button 3 is designed on the top rear side of the silicone button layer 1, which is connected to the medical call device. The call button on the device is engaged with the corresponding button so that the user can quickly send a call signal when needed. On both sides of the silicone button layer 1, there is also a light switch button 11 and a TV switch button 5. These two buttons correspond to the light switch button and TV switch button on the medical call device, respectively, so that the user can control the surrounding environmental equipment. By opening a slot 12 on the left side of the silicone button layer 1, the silicone button layer can be more stably fixed to the device, avoiding loosening and falling off due to external vibration or impact, improving the overall stability of the button structure, and also making it convenient for the user to disassemble and maintain when needed. Through the above process, the user can quickly find and operate the required button, thereby improving the operating efficiency.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a base plate 201, which is installed at the bottom of the silicone button layer 1. A fixing ring 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 201. Multiple engaging rings 204 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the fixing ring 202. The device can be expanded by installing the engaging rings 204. A second sliding rod 206 is slidably connected to the rear side of the middle of the engaging ring 204, and a first sliding rod 205 is slidably connected to the front side of the middle of the engaging ring 204. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rear side of the first sliding rod 205. 203. The top of the connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the silicone button layer 1. The device can be extended by installing the first sliding rod 205 on the second sliding rod 206. A pad 16 is installed at the bottom of the first sliding rod 205. Multiple anti-slip balls 13 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the base plate 201. The installation of anti-slip balls 13 can effectively enhance the friction between the silicone button and the device shell, disperse the pressure, and prevent the circuit board from being damaged due to excessive local force during the device drop.
[0040] Specifically, during the installation of this device, the medical call device circuit board first needs to be placed through the gap between the silicone button layer 1 and the base plate 201. During this installation process, the first sliding rod 205, which is installed on the rear side via the connecting plate 203, will be moved accordingly. This first sliding rod 205 is connected to the bottom of the silicone button layer 1. At the same time, the second sliding rod 206 is connected to the top of the fixing ring 202. These two sliding rods are connected together by the locking ring 204 and can slide inside it, making this device suitable for remote controls with different button heights, thereby increasing its applicability and flexibility. Through the above process, it is ensured that this device is more stable and reliable when installed inside the remote control, avoiding the possibility of the medical call device accidentally falling and damaging the circuit board during use, thereby improving the overall user experience and safety.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Conductive blocks 4 are provided at the bottom of the channel adjustment key 1 6, the volume up button 7, the channel adjustment key 2 9, and the volume down button 10.
[0042] Specifically, by setting conductive blocks 4 at the bottom of the buttons, these buttons can reliably contact the circuit board when pressed, ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal transmission, improving the user's operating experience and the reliability of the device.
[0043] Working Principle: First, the silicone button layer 1 is placed inside the medical call device, with the central circular groove 14 aligned with the call area. Then, the channel adjustment button 1 6, volume up button 7, channel adjustment button 2 9, and volume down button 10 are respectively engaged with their corresponding buttons. A protrusion 8 corresponding to the intended function is installed on the top of each button for user convenience. The call button 3 on the back of the silicone button layer 1 engages with its corresponding call button, while the light switch button 11 and TV switch button 5 on either side correspond to the light switch and TV switch buttons, respectively. A slot 12 on the left side of the silicone button layer 1 facilitates installation. A conductive block 4 is installed at the bottom of each of the channel adjustment button 1 6, volume up button 7, channel adjustment button 2 9, and volume down button 10. The conductive block 4 connects to the circuit board and provides conductivity. Through these steps, users can quickly locate the required buttons, improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the use of silicone material effectively increases the cushioning effect on the circuit board, preventing damage from drops and extending its lifespan.
[0044] During installation, the remote control is first placed through the gap between the silicone button layer 1 and the base plate 201. During this process, the first sliding rod 205, mounted via the connecting plate 203, is moved. The first sliding rod 205 connects to the bottom of the silicone button layer 1, and the second sliding rod 206 connects to the top of the fixing ring 202. The two are connected by a snap-fit ring 204 and slide within it. This allows the device to be used with remote controls of different button heights, thus expanding its applicability. Through these steps, the device is more securely installed inside the remote control, ensuring the circuit board is firmly installed within the device and effectively preventing damage to the circuit board due to drops, which could affect its normal operation.
