Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and more specifically, to a protective cover with capacitive touch-sensitive buttons. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of electronic device technology, the newly developed camera control functions of mobile phones can now take photos and videos with ease, allowing for quick and convenient shooting. Camera functions such as exposure and depth of field can be adjusted simply by sliding a finger, and lens, zoom, framing, and composition can all be achieved through a single button. However, most existing mobile phone cases only provide drop protection. To improve drop protection, the protective case walls are designed to be relatively thick. The increased thickness of the protective case walls, in turn, affects the tactile feel of the phone in direct contact. Utility Model Content

The capacitive touch-sensitive buttons 3 include a first metal sensing sheet 4, a second metal sensing sheet 5, and a conductor 6. The first metal sensing sheet 4 is used to sense the user's touch. The conductor 6 is disposed between the first metal sensing sheet 4 and the second metal sensing sheet 5. The second metal sensing sheet 5 and the conductor 6 are used to touch the camera button on the electronic device 16.

[0033] When in use, after the user touches the first metal sensor 4, the second metal sensor 5 and the conductor 6 touch the key of the electronic device 16, which can realize the trigger function of the capacitive touch sensing button 3, enabling the user to operate the electronic device 16 quickly and accurately. At the same time, the button function also maintains the touch sensing and machine button functions, making the experience seamless.

[0034] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 7 is provided on the first metal sensing sheet 4, and a through groove 8 is provided on the second metal sensing sheet 5. One end of the conductor 6 is placed in the receiving groove 7, and the other end of the conductor 6 is placed in the through groove 8. The end of the conductor 6 is flush with the end of the through groove 8 away from the first metal sensing sheet 4. The conductor 6 is connected and fixed to the first metal sensing sheet 4 and the conductor 6 is connected and fixed to the second metal sensing sheet 5 by adhesive.

[0035] In this embodiment, the conductor 6 has a cylindrical structure, and the cross-sections of the first metal sensing sheet 4 and the second metal sensing sheet 5 are both rectangular. This structure is easy to process and form. The button base 2 is provided with a mounting groove 9.

When the electronic device 16 is charging, it can play an auxiliary positioning role under the action of magnetic force. The second magnetic element 13 is provided in the second groove 11. The second magnetic element 13 is used to attract the charging cable of the wireless charger and prevent the protective case body 1 from rotating relative to the wireless charger when the electronic device 16 is charging.

[0038] In this embodiment, the button base 2 and the protective cover body 1 are interference-fitted.

[0039] In this embodiment, the protective cover body 1 is made of silicone or TPU material, the button base 2 has an annular groove 14, and the protective cover body 1 is provided with a protrusion 15 corresponding to the annular groove 14. During assembly, after the button base 2 is installed on the protective cover body 1, the protrusion 15 enters the annular groove 14. Under the interaction between the protrusion 15 and the annular groove 14, the button base 2 is firmly positioned on the protective cover body 1.
