It will not occupy additional space in the mounting cavity 110. Moreover, the second buckle 224 is set on the button 200, which can increase the thickness of the second buckle 224 (the thickness of the button 200 is the thickness of the second buckle 224) without occupying the space of the mounting cavity 110, so that the second buckle 224 is not easy to bend, deform or fail during the pressing process.
[0037] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the button 200 includes a pressing rod 220. The cross-sectional shape of the pressing rod 220 along the plane of the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 110 is approximately "I" shaped. The pressing rod 220 is also provided with two grooves 223 that are symmetrical about the axis of the pressing rod 220. Two second buckles 224 are provided, which are respectively provided on the two grooves 223.
[0038] It is understandable that the button 200 is slidably inserted into the guide channel 122, which actually means that the pressing rod 220 of the button 200 can slide in the guide channel 122. At this time, the two first latches 130 are respectively embedded in the two grooves 223 and can slide in the grooves 223. When the pressing rod 220 is first inserted into the guide channel 122, the two grooves 223 can be aligned with the positions of the two first latches 130 and then pushed in, so that the two first latches 130 are embedded in the grooves 223 and slide in them until the first latches 130 and the second latches 224 press against each other and flip over, thus completing the installation. During the reset process after pressing, the button 200 can rely on the cooperation of the first latches 130 and the second latches 224 to prevent it from popping out.
[0039] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the flush button 1000 allows for easy alignment of the first buckle 130 and the second buckle 224 via the groove 223, enabling convenient installation. Furthermore, after the first buckle 130 is embedded in the groove 223, during the subsequent sliding of the pressing rod 220, the first buckle 130 and the groove 223 can cooperate to provide a guiding function, preventing the pressing rod 220 from tilting. Therefore, neither the pressing rod 220 nor the guide hole requires additional guide ribs or guide grooves, further simplifying the structure and manufacturing process.
[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the button 200 also includes a pressing cover 210. One side of the pressing cover 210 is connected to the pressing rod 220. It can be understood that the cross-sectional area of the pressing cover 210 is larger than that of the pressing rod 220, so as to facilitate the user to press it.

That is, the two horizontal plates 221 and the vertical plate 222 are connected to form two symmetrical grooves 223. Further, the width of the end of the two horizontal plates 221 away from the pressing cover 210 is smaller than the width of the end of the horizontal plates 221 near the pressing cover 210. Specifically, the width of the horizontal plate 221 refers to the length of the horizontal plate 221 extending in the plane perpendicular to the vertical plate 222.
[0044] According to the flush button 1000 provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the cross-sectional area of the narrower end of the horizontal plate 221 on the pressing rod 220 is smaller than that of the guide channel 122. Therefore, during the installation process, the pressing rod 220 does not need to be precisely aligned before one end is inserted into the guide channel 122. Then, the pressing rod 220 is rotated in the guide channel 122 and the first buckle 130 and the second buckle 224 are aligned. After that, the button 200 can be directly pushed in for blind installation, making the installation process very convenient.
