CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a pressing module and an electronic device to realize multi-point pressing at low cost.

[0004] The present application provides a pressing module, comprising:

[0005] A circuit board is used to be installed on the inner side of the shell of an electronic device and is provided with a connecting area, the connecting area comprising a first pressure receiving position and a second pressure receiving position arranged at intervals;

[0006] A pressing piece is used to be embedded in the shell and corresponds to the connecting area, and part of the pressing piece protrudes from the shell;

[0007] A first adhesive piece is used to be bonded between the connecting area of the circuit board and the pressing piece to fix the pressing piece and the circuit board;

[0008] A support piece is arranged on the side of the circuit board away from the first adhesive piece and is used to be installed in the shell;

[0009] A first switch piece is arranged on the side of the support piece facing the circuit board and is electrically connected to the circuit board, the first switch piece corresponding to the first pressure receiving position of the connecting area, when the first pressure receiving position is pushed by the pressing piece, the circuit board pushes the first switch piece, so that the first switch piece forms a first conductive loop with the circuit board;

[0010] A second switch piece is arranged on the side of the support piece facing the circuit board and is electrically connected to the circuit board, the second switch piece corresponding to the second pressure receiving position of the connecting area, when the second pressure receiving position is pushed by the pressing piece, the circuit board pushes the second switch piece, so that the second switch piece forms a second conductive loop with the circuit board.

[0011] The press module, the presser for starting the function of the electronic device is connected with the circuit board through the first adhesive, the assembly difficulty of the press module is reduced, the manufacturing cost of the press module is reduced, the first pressure receiving position and the second pressure receiving position of the circuit board are pressed by the presser, the first conductive loop and the second conductive loop are formed respectively, and different functions of the electronic device are realized.

[0012] In some embodiments, the support member comprises:

[0013] a main body carrying the first switch member and the second switch member and configured to be installed in the housing;

[0014] two support bodies respectively connected to opposite ends of the main body and configured to support the circuit board.

[0015] Therefore, the two support bodies are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the main body, so that the support member is substantially in a U-shaped structure, and the two support bodies can support the circuit board respectively, thereby reducing the pressure of the circuit board on the first switch member and the second switch member, and facilitating the improvement of the service life of the first switch member and the second switch member.

[0016] In some embodiments, the support bodies are inclined relative to the main body, and the two support bodies are arranged in axial symmetry relative to the center of the main body.

[0017] Therefore, the inclined arrangement of the support bodies relative to the main body can reduce the occupied space of the support member, facilitate the miniaturization of the support member, and the axial symmetry arrangement of the two support bodies relative to the center of the main body can facilitate the improvement of the stability of the support member in supporting the circuit board.

[0018] In some embodiments, the main body and the two support bodies are in an integrated structure.

[0019] Therefore, the main body and the two support bodies in the integrated structure can simplify the processing difficulty of the support member, and facilitate the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the support member.

[0020] In some embodiments, the support member comprises:

[0021] two support bodies respectively supporting the first switch member and the second switch member, and configured to be installed in the housing.

[0023] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of one end of the support body away from the circuit board is greater than the cross-sectional area of one end of the support body close to the circuit board.

[0026] Therefore, the first adhesive member projects on the pressing member in a direction from the circuit board to the pressing member with a projection area smaller than the area of the surface of the pressing member facing the circuit board, so that a gap is formed between the first adhesive member and the periphery of the pressing member, preventing the first adhesive member from overflowing from the periphery of the pressing member during curing and extrusion, thereby improving the appearance quality of the pressing module after being installed in the electronic device.

[0027] In some embodiments, the pressing module further comprises:

[0028] A second adhesive member is attached between the support member and the first switch member, and between the support member and the second switch member.

[0029] Therefore, by fixing the first and second switch members to the support member through the second adhesive member, the assembly difficulty of the pressing module can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the pressing module.

[0030] In some embodiments, the pressing module further comprises:

[0031] A reinforcing member is connected to one end of the circuit board away from the connecting area.

[0032] Therefore, by the reinforcing member, the collision of external components on the circuit board can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the circuit board.

The circuit board 110 is arranged on the inner side of the shell of an electronic device and is provided with a connecting area 110a, the connecting area 110a comprises a first pressure receiving position 110b and a second pressure receiving position 110c which are arranged at intervals, the pressing piece 120 is arranged in the shell and corresponds to the connecting area 110a, and part of the pressing piece 120 protrudes from the shell, the first adhesive piece 130 is arranged between the connecting area 110a of the circuit board 110 and the pressing piece 120, so as to fix the pressing piece 120 and the circuit board 110, the supporting piece 140 is arranged on the side of the circuit board 110 which is away from the first adhesive piece 130 and is arranged in the shell. The first switch piece 150 is arranged on the side of the supporting piece 140 which is towards the circuit board 110 and is electrically connected with the circuit board 110, the first switch piece 150 corresponds to the first pressure receiving position 110b of the connecting area 110a, when the first pressure receiving position 110b is pushed by the pressing piece 120, the circuit board 110 pushes the first switch piece 150, so that the first switch piece 150 and the circuit board 110 form a first conductive loop, the second switch piece 160 is arranged on the side of the supporting piece 140 which is towards the circuit board 110 and is electrically connected with the circuit board 110, the second switch piece 160 corresponds to the second pressure receiving position 110c of the connecting area 110a, when the second pressure receiving position 110c is pushed by the pressing piece 120, the circuit board 110 pushes the second switch piece 160, so that the second switch piece 160 and the circuit board 110 form a second conductive loop.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first switch piece 150 and the second switch piece 160 are both metal springs, the first pressure receiving position 110b and the second pressure receiving position 110c are both conductive areas of the circuit board 110, when the first switch piece 150 is pushed by the circuit board 110, the center of the first switch piece 150 is concave downwards to connect with the circuit of the circuit board 110, so that the first switch piece 150 and the circuit board 110 form the first conductive loop, and the flowing current is generated between the circuit board 110 and the first switch piece 150, thereby starting the preset function of the electronic device in which the pressing module 100 is arranged. Correspondingly, when the second switch piece 160 is pushed by the circuit board 110, the center of the second switch piece 160 is concave downwards to connect with the circuit of the circuit board 110, so that the second switch piece 160 and the circuit board 110 form the second conductive loop, and the flowing current is generated between the circuit board 110 and the second switch piece 160, thereby starting another preset function of the electronic device in which the pressing module 100 is arranged.

[0050] Therefore, the two support bodies 141 are used to support the first switch 150 and the second switch 160 respectively, so that the assembly precision of the press module 100 is reduced.

[0051] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the end of the support body 141 away from the circuit board 110 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the end of the support body 141 close to the circuit board 110.

[0052] Therefore, through the above setting, the stability of the two support bodies 141 supporting the first switch 150 and the second switch 160 is improved.

[0053] In the embodiment, the surface of the presser 120 facing the circuit board 110 and the surface of the circuit board 110 facing the presser 120 are matched in shape, and the projection area of the first adhesive 130 on the presser 120 in the direction of the circuit board 110 pointing to the presser 120 is less than the area of the surface of the presser 120 facing the circuit board 110.

[0054] Therefore, the projection area of the first adhesive 130 on the presser 120 in the direction of the circuit board 110 to the presser 120 is less than the area of the surface of the presser 120 facing the circuit board 110, so that a gap is formed between the first adhesive 130 and the periphery of the presser 120, so that the first adhesive 130 does not overflow from the periphery of the presser 120 during curing and extrusion, and the appearance quality of the press module 100 after being installed in the electronic device is improved.

[0055] In the embodiment, the press module 100 further includes a second adhesive 170. The second adhesive 170 is adhered between the support 140 and the first switch 150, and between the support 140 and the second switch 160.

[0056] Therefore, the first switch 150 and the second switch 160 are fixed to the support 140 through the second adhesive 170, so that the assembly difficulty of the press module 100 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the press module 100 is reduced.

[0057] In this embodiment, the pressing module 100 further comprises a reinforcing member 180. The reinforcing member 180 is connected to the circuit board 110 at an end away from the connecting area 110a.

[0058] Therefore, the reinforcing member 180 can reduce the collision of external components on the circuit board 110, thereby improving the service life of the circuit board 110.

The main body 142 bears the first switch member 150 and the second switch member 160 and is used for being installed in the shell. The two support bodies 141 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the main body 142 and are both used for supporting the circuit board 110.

[0062] Therefore, the two support bodies 141 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the main body 142, so that the support member 140 is substantially in a U-shaped structure, and the two support bodies 141 can respectively support the circuit board 110, thereby reducing the pressure of the circuit board 110 on the first switch member 150 and the second switch member 160, and being beneficial to improving the service life of the first switch member 150 and the second switch member 160.

[0063] In this embodiment, the support bodies 141 are obliquely arranged relative to the main body 142, and the two support bodies 141 are arranged in axial symmetry relative to the center of the main body 142.

[0064] Therefore, the oblique arrangement of the support bodies 141 relative to the main body 142 can reduce the occupied space of the support member 140, thereby being beneficial to the miniaturization of the support member 140, and the axial symmetry arrangement of the two support bodies 141 relative to the center of the main body 142 is beneficial to improving the stability of the support member 140 in supporting the circuit board 110.

[0065] In this embodiment, the main body 142 and the two support bodies 141 are in an integral structure.

[0066] Therefore, the integral structure of the main body 142 and the two support bodies 141 can simplify the processing difficulty of the support member 140, thereby being beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the support member 140.
