The unlocking button assembly includes an unlocking button 1, a button decorative cover 2, a linkage tooth 3, a linkage rod 4, an inner cover 5, and an inner cover waterproof ring 6. During assembly, the linkage tooth 3 is first inserted into the button decorative cover hole 201 of the button decorative cover 2. The shape of the linkage tooth 3 matches the structure in the hole of the button decorative cover 2. The linkage tooth 3 has a linkage tooth groove 301, a lower linkage tooth 303, and an upper linkage tooth 304. The shapes of the lower linkage tooth 303 and the upper linkage tooth 304 are larger than the button decorative cover hole 201. When the linkage tooth 3 is inserted into the button decorative cover 2 from below, the two sides of the linkage tooth groove 301 will deform inward. The linkage tooth 3 can be inserted into the button decorative cover hole 201. After assembly, the teeth 304 on the linkage tooth will deform and spring back, completing the assembly of the linkage tooth 3 and the button decorative cover. The linkage tooth 3 has a linkage tooth hole 302, which matches the shape of the linkage rod 4. Therefore, the linkage rod 4 is inserted into the linkage tooth hole 302 from below.
