Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button technology, and in particular to a button assembly structure. Background Technology

[0002] Buttons have a wide range of applications, and many kitchen and bathroom products also use buttons for control. In different application scenarios, or to meet different design requirements, the shape and size of buttons often vary. A common example is the long, rectangular button. These types of buttons are large and easy for users to press; however, due to their length, they are often prone to jamming and not springing back when pressed on one side. Therefore, this utility model provides a new button assembly structure that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a button structure that does not block during use.

[0004] A button assembly structure includes a control body, a button, and a spring, wherein,

[0005] The control unit body is equipped with a switch.

[0006] The button is movably mounted on the control component body. The spring is compressed between the control component body and the button. When the button is pressed, it further compresses the spring and presses the button of the switch component. When released, the spring provides a restoring force to the button.

[0007] A guide mechanism is provided between the control body and the button. There are at least two sets of guide mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the button. The two ends of the button maintain the same movement state through the guide mechanism. So when the user presses only one end of the button, the other end also moves down or returns to its original position under the action of the guide mechanism. Therefore, the entire movement of the button will not deflect, and it is not easy to cause blockage or even jamming.

[0008] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rod and a guide hole, both of which are parallel to the pressing direction of the button, ensuring that the movement trajectories of the two ends of the button are the same and do not deflect.

[0009] Preferably, to avoid the guide rod extending excessively and poking a hand, the guide rod is located at the end of the side of the button facing the control body, and the guide hole is located at the position of the control body facing the button.

[0010] Preferably, the control component body is provided with a guide seat, which is installed close to the switch component and has a guide hole, thereby separating the guide mechanism from the control component body and avoiding making the structure of the main part of the control component body more complex and more difficult to form.

[0011] Preferably, the guide seat is fixedly mounted on the control component body by screws and has a clearance opening in the middle, through which the switch component protrudes. There is a gap between the main body of the guide seat and the control component body. On the one hand, this provides a larger insertion space for the guide rod, and on the other hand, it avoids the problem of the guide seat being too thick and wasting material.

[0012] Preferably, the spring compression is disposed between the guide seat and the button.

[0013] Preferably, to prevent the spring from misaligning or falling off during use, the guide seat has a protrusion on the side facing the button, the button has a groove aligned with the protrusion, one end of the spring is sleeved on the protrusion, and the other end is inserted into the groove. Furthermore, there are two sets of the protrusion, groove, and spring, respectively located at both ends of the button, providing a balanced restoring force for the button.

[0014] Preferably, the guide seat is provided with reinforcing ribs to prevent the guide seat from deforming or even being damaged under elastic force.

[0015] Preferably, there are four sets of guiding mechanisms, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the button. This not only prevents the button from deflecting laterally, but also prevents the button from deflecting longitudinally, thereby improving the guiding effect and making the button smoother to use.

[0016] Preferably, to improve the installation firmness of the button, the button is installed on the button of the switch component by a locking screw, and the locking screw is covered by an end cap.

[0017] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The button structure provided by this utility model has two ends of the button that maintain the same movement state through the guide mechanism. So when the user presses only one end of the button, the other end also moves down or returns to its original position under the action of the guide mechanism. Therefore, the entire button will not deflect during movement, and it is not easy to cause blockage or even jamming.

[0019] By setting a guide mechanism, the direction of movement of the button can be more singular. In scenarios with a shell, the friction between the button and the shell can be reduced, making the button press more effortless and smooth.

[0020] The guiding mechanism includes a guide rod and a guide hole, which has a simple structure, is easy to form, and has a good guiding effect;

[0021] The control component body is provided with a guide seat to separate the guide mechanism from the control component body, thereby avoiding the main part of the control component body from becoming more complex and more difficult to form.

[0022] The guide mechanism consists of four sets, which are respectively set at the four corners of the button. This not only prevents the button from deflecting laterally, but also prevents the button from deflecting longitudinally, thus improving the guiding effect and making the button smoother to use.

[0033] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 7 A button 2 assembly structure includes a control body 1, a button 2, and a spring 3, wherein,

[0035] The control body 1 is equipped with a switch 11.

[0036] The button 2 is movably mounted on the control body 1. Preferably, to improve the installation firmness of the button 2, the button 2 is mounted on the button 111 of the switch 11 by a locking screw 21, and the locking screw 21 is covered by an end cap 22.

[0037] The spring 3 is compressed between the control body 1 and the button 2. The button 2 is pressed to further compress the spring 3 and press the button 111 of the switch 11. When released, the spring 3 provides a restoring force to the button 2.

[0038] A guide mechanism is provided between the control body 1 and the button 2. There are at least two sets of guide mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the button 2. The two ends of the button 2 maintain the same movement state through the guide mechanism.

[0039] Optionally, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rod 23 and a guide hole 121. Both the guide rod 23 and the guide hole 121 are parallel to the pressing direction of the button 111, ensuring that the movement trajectories of both ends of the button 2 are the same and do not deflect. Specifically, to avoid the guide rod 23 extending excessively and poking a hand, the guide rod 23 is located at the end of the side of the button 2 facing the control body 1, and the guide hole 121 is located at the position of the control body 1 facing the button 2.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the control body 1 is provided with a guide seat 12, the guide seat 12 is installed close to the switch 11 and is provided with the guide hole 121, thereby separating the guide mechanism from the control body 1, avoiding the main part of the control body 1 from becoming more complex and more difficult to form.

[0041] Furthermore, the guide seat 12 is fixedly mounted on the control body 1 by screws, and has a clearance opening in the middle, through which the switch 11 protrudes. There is a gap between the main body of the guide seat 12 and the control body 1. On the one hand, this provides a larger insertion space for the guide rod 23, and on the other hand, it avoids the problem of the guide seat 12 being too thick and wasting material.

[0042] Furthermore, the spring 3 is compressed between the guide seat 12 and the button 2. Specifically, to prevent the spring 3 from misaligning or falling off during use, the guide seat 12 has a protrusion 122 on the side facing the button 2, and the button 2 has a groove 24 aligned with the protrusion 122. One end of the spring 3 is sleeved on the protrusion 122, and the other end is inserted into the groove 24. In addition, there are two sets of the protrusion 122, the groove 24, and the spring 3, respectively arranged at both ends of the button 2, to provide a balanced restoring force for the button 2.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, the guide seat 12 is provided with reinforcing ribs, which can prevent the guide seat 12 from deforming or even being damaged under the action of elastic force.

[0044] To better solve the jamming problem, in one embodiment, the guide mechanism has four sets, which are respectively set at the four corners of the button 2. This not only prevents the button 2 from deflecting laterally, but also prevents the button 2 from deflecting longitudinally, thereby improving the guiding effect and making the button 2 smoother when used.

[0045] When in use, if the user presses only one end or presses and then releases the button 2, the other end will also move down or return to its original position under the action of the guide mechanism. This prevents the button 2 from deflecting during movement and makes it less likely to get blocked or stuck.
