When the indicator light is on at night, the light shines through the semi-transparent plastic from the doorbell logo and the surrounding light ring. The emitted light ring affects the user experience and also affects the external appearance of the peephole doorbell. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a button structure for a smart peephole doorbell.

[0005] This utility model provides a button structure for a smart peephole doorbell. The button structure includes: a front shell with a camera hole and a button slot; a button bracket connected to the front shell; a button mounted on the button bracket and located within the button slot; a main board with a camera and a switch, the camera extending into the camera hole, and the button in contact with the switch; and a rear shell covering the main board and connected to the front shell. The button has a black adhesive layer and a semi-transparent adhesive layer. The black adhesive layer covers the top of the button, and the semi-transparent adhesive layer is located below the black adhesive layer and the button, with its side edge aligned with the side edge of the black adhesive layer. A C-corner is provided on the side wall of the button slot.

[0013] The button structure for a smart peephole doorbell provided by this utility model may also have the following feature: the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer extends downward to contact the switch.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The button structure for a smart peephole doorbell of this invention includes a front shell, a button bracket, a button, a main board, and a rear shell. The front shell has a camera hole and a button slot, and the button bracket is connected to the front shell. The button is mounted on the button bracket and located within the button slot. The main board has a camera and a switch, with the camera extending into the camera hole. The button and switch are in contact. The rear shell covers the main board and is connected to the front shell. The button has a black adhesive layer and a semi-transparent adhesive layer. The black adhesive layer covers the side of the button, and the semi-transparent adhesive layer is located below the black adhesive layer and the button, with its side aligned with the side of the black adhesive layer. Additionally, a C-corner is provided on the side wall of the button slot. Based on this button structure of the peephole doorbell, aligning the side of the semi-transparent adhesive layer with the side of the black adhesive layer prevents the light strip of the semi-transparent adhesive layer from being visible when the lights are off. Furthermore, the button bracket is also located inside the front shell, which can be used to shield the light on the main board. Furthermore, the C-corner on the side of the button slot, being close to the translucent adhesive layer, reflects light from that layer. This allows light from the motherboard to pass through the translucent adhesive layer and then be reflected by the C-corner before entering the user's field of vision. Thus, without exposing the LED strip, the user can still see the halo effect around the button. Therefore, this button structure can create a "seeing the light but not the LED" effect—the LED ring is invisible when the backlight is off, but illuminates and reveals the ring when the backlight is on—enhancing the product's perceived quality and strengthening its competitiveness.

[0016] In addition, the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer extends downwards to contact the switch on the motherboard, enabling the button to be pressed.

[0017] In addition, the button bracket has button holes, and the buttons are installed in these holes, with the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer extending into the button holes. Furthermore, the periphery of the button holes has outward-extending sides, with the side of the translucent adhesive layer overlapping the side of the button hole. Moreover, the outward extension of this side of the button hole is greater than the length of the side of the translucent adhesive layer. This extended length of the side covers the gap between the translucent adhesive layer and the side of the button slot, thus achieving the effect of the button bracket blocking the lighting on the motherboard.

[0018] Furthermore, the length of the C-corner side of the button slot is ≥1mm to ensure the reflective effect of the C-corner, allowing it to reflect the light from the translucent adhesive layer into the user's field of vision. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, 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 merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] The button structure for the smart peephole doorbell in this embodiment is applied to the smart peephole doorbell, providing a new type of smart peephole doorbell.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the button structure for the smart peephole doorbell includes a front shell 10, a button bracket 20, a button 30, a main board 40, and a rear shell 50.

[0027] The front cover 10 is made of plastic, and a camera hole 11 and a button slot 12 are provided on the plastic front cover. The camera hole 11 is located above the button slot 12. The camera hole 11 and the button slot 12 are used to install the camera and the doorbell button, respectively.

[0028] A C-angle 13 is provided on the side wall of the button slot 12, and the side length of the C-angle 13 is ≥1mm.

[0029] The button bracket 20 is connected to the front shell 10 by a heat-fusion connection. The button bracket 20 is provided with a button hole 21, and the upper edge of the button hole 21 is provided with an outwardly extending side 22.

[0030] Button 30 is a two-material injection molded button, comprising a button body 31, a black adhesive layer 32, and a translucent adhesive layer 33. The black adhesive layer 32 covers the top of the button body 31, and the translucent adhesive layer 33 is connected to the button body 31 and the black adhesive layer 32, located below them, with the outer edge of the translucent adhesive layer 33 aligned with the outer edge of the black adhesive layer 32.

[0031] In addition, a downwardly extending pressing end is provided on the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer 33, which contacts the switch on the main board 40.

[0032] The mainboard 40 is made of fiberglass board, on which a camera 41 and a switch 42 are mounted. An indicator light 43 is also surrounded on the outside of the switch 32. The camera 41 extends into the camera hole 11, and the switch 42 is in contact with the pressing end of the translucent adhesive layer 33, so that the translucent adhesive layer 33 can press the switch 42, thereby realizing the pressing function of the button 30.

[0033] The rear cover 50 wraps around the outside of the motherboard 40 and the button bracket 30, and is fastened to the front cover 10.

[0034] The button 30 extends into the button slot 12 and then into the button hole 21 on the button bracket 20. The inner side of the translucent adhesive layer 32 on the button 30 extends into the button hole 21, and its side overlaps the side 22 of the button bracket 20. Moreover, the side length of the translucent adhesive layer 32 is less than the side length of the side 22 of the button bracket 20.

[0035] Furthermore, when the button 30 is inserted into the button slot 12, there is a gap between the side of the translucent adhesive layer 32 and the outer wall of the button slot 12. The side 22 of the button bracket 20 can extend to this gap, thereby blocking the gap and preventing the light of the indicator light 43 on the motherboard 40 from being exposed through this gap. Moreover, the C-corner 13 on the side wall of the button slot 12 can reflect the light exposed by the translucent adhesive layer 32.

[0036] The button structure for a smart peephole doorbell according to the above embodiment includes a front shell, a button bracket, a button, a main board, and a rear shell. The front shell has a camera hole and a button slot, and the button bracket is connected to the front shell. The button is mounted on the button bracket and located within the button slot. The main board has a camera and a switch, with the camera extending into the camera hole. The button and switch are in contact. The rear shell covers the main board and is connected to the front shell. The button has a black adhesive layer and a semi-transparent adhesive layer. The black adhesive layer covers the top of the button, and the semi-transparent adhesive layer is located below the black adhesive layer and the button, with the side of the semi-transparent adhesive layer aligned with the side of the black adhesive layer. Additionally, a C-corner is provided on the side wall of the button slot. Based on this button structure of the peephole doorbell, aligning the side of the semi-transparent adhesive layer with the side of the black adhesive layer ensures that the light strip of the semi-transparent adhesive layer is not visible when the lights are off. Furthermore, the button bracket is also provided inside the front shell, which can be used to shield the light on the main board. Furthermore, the C-corner on the side of the button slot, being close to the translucent adhesive layer, reflects light from that layer. This allows light from the motherboard to pass through the translucent adhesive layer and then be reflected by the C-corner before entering the user's field of vision. Thus, without exposing the LED strip, the user can still see the halo effect around the button. Therefore, this button structure can create a "seeing the light but not the LED" effect—the LED ring is invisible when the backlight is off, but illuminates and reveals the ring when the backlight is on—enhancing the product's perceived quality and strengthening its competitiveness.

[0037] In addition, the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer extends downwards to contact the switch on the motherboard, enabling the button to be pressed.

[0038] In addition, the button bracket has button holes, and the buttons are installed in these holes, with the inner side of the translucent adhesive layer extending into the button holes. Furthermore, the periphery of the button holes has outward-extending sides, with the side of the translucent adhesive layer overlapping the side of the button hole. Moreover, the outward extension of this side of the button hole is greater than the length of the side of the translucent adhesive layer. This extended length of the side covers the gap between the translucent adhesive layer and the side of the button slot, thus achieving the effect of the button bracket blocking the lighting on the motherboard.

[0039] Furthermore, the length of the C-corner side of the button slot is ≥1mm to ensure the reflective effect of the C-corner, allowing it to reflect the light from the translucent adhesive layer into the user's field of vision.

[0040] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
