At the same time, "first", "second" in the embodiment is only used for distinguishing description purposes, and not represent the relative importance of the indication or implication.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-8 The utility model discloses a kind of hall key, including the key seat 2 on PCB board, and the press handle 3 that can move up and down in key seat 2, and reset spring 4 for the reset of press handle 3, further including magnetic piece 6 and protective sleeve 7, the upper portion of protective sleeve 7 is equipped with the cavity 71 for accommodating magnetic piece 6, the bottom center of press handle 3 extends a cylindrical guide column 31 downward, guide column 31 can be assembled and inserted into the cavity 71 of protective sleeve 7, with magnetic piece 6 is encapsulated in cavity 71, so that guide column 31, magnetic piece 6, protective sleeve 7 form a linkage assembly that can move with press handle 3;Specifically, the top of protective sleeve 7 is equipped with a circle arc flared mouth 73, the inner diameter of which is greater than the inner diameter of cavity 71, guide column 31 is inserted via the arc flared mouth 73 of the top of protective sleeve 7, and is tightly connected with protective sleeve 7 by interference fit.

[0024] Key seat 2 is equipped with guide cavity 21 matched with the outer diameter of protective sleeve 7, so that protective sleeve 7 reduces shaking when moving axially along guide cavity 21, thereby changing the magnetic flux of magnetic piece 6 received by hall element 5, and causing hall element 5 to generate corresponding electromagnetic signal.

[0025] Compared with the method of directly slotting on guide column 31 to install magnetic piece 6, the design of introducing protective sleeve 7 greatly simplifies the manufacturing process of magnetic piece 6, improves the flexibility of adaptation, and effectively avoids the strict requirement of high-precision tolerance in the manufacturing process of magnetic piece 6.

[0026] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the cross section of the protective sleeve 7 in the present key is T-shaped structure, the top of which is provided with a circular truncated cone 72 extending outward, the circular truncated cone 72 matches with the bottom cavity 71 of the handle 3, the reset spring 4 abuts below the circular truncated cone 72, the circular truncated cone 72 makes the assembly between the protective sleeve 7 and the handle 3 more compact, and at the same time provides a support area for the reset spring 4 to prevent deflection.
