Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone case technology, and in particular to a sliding camera button for a mobile phone case. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, with the rapid development of technology, the tech-beauty industry has emerged as a new sector. Fashionable IT brands are diversifying with the market's development, catering to the increasing variety of mobile phone brands and functions. Phone cases not only serve as decorations, making your phone a stylish accessory, but also protect it from drops, scratches, water, and shocks.
[0003] Currently, existing phone cases typically feature buttons that are linked to the phone's own buttons. These are usually created as raised, soft rubber bumps, with the phone's buttons housed within them, or they may have an exposed notch. However, with the advent of intelligent phone buttons, such as the iPhone 16's side-mounted camera button, which involves swiping gestures and relies on bio-current sensing for control, conventional soft rubber cases would block the detection of bio-currents. Therefore, the only solution is to expose this special button, which in turn negates the protective function of the phone case. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sliding camera button for a mobile phone case that can both cover and protect the camera button without affecting its normal use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A sliding camera button for a mobile phone case includes a base, a conductive block, and an mounting opening on the mobile phone case. The base is fixedly installed in the mounting opening, and a thin sheet covers the outer end face of the base. The conductive block has a through hole, and a conductive post is inserted into the through hole and integrally formed. The two ends of the conductive post are respectively placed on the two end faces of the conductive block, and one end of each conductive post is attached to the inner end face of the thin sheet. A layer of conductive ink is sprayed on both end surfaces of the conductive block and at the top of the conductive post.
[0007] Preferably, the conductive post is made of copper.
[0008] Preferably, a silicone pad is provided on the inner end face of the base, the inner end of the conductive block is placed at the center of the silicone pad, and the edge of the silicone pad covers the inner port of the mounting port.
[0009] Preferably, the portion of the silicone pad that contacts the conductive block has a concave surface, causing the conductive block to protrude beyond the silicone pad.
[0010] Preferably, the base has an annular opening on its side, and the base is fitted into the mounting opening through the annular opening.
[0011] Preferably, a support ring is provided between the interior of the base and the conductive block, so that the conductive block is centrally arranged inside the base by the addition of the support ring.
[0012] By adopting the above solution, this utility model uses the conductive pillar of the conductive block as the current conducting element, so that the thin sheet and the button surface of the mobile phone can be connected, thereby satisfying the normal bioelectric conduction under the condition of being wrapped; at the same time, a layer of conductive ink is sprayed on both ends of the conductive pillar, which can protect the conductive pillar from being easily oxidized without affecting the current conduction.

Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. They can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a sliding camera button for a mobile phone case, including a base 1, a conductive block 2, and an mounting opening 3 disposed on the mobile phone case 101. The base 1 is fixedly installed in the mounting opening 3. A thin sheet 4 is covered on the outer end face of the base 1. The conductive block 2 is provided with through holes 5 arranged in a horizontal array. Conductive posts 6 are inserted into the through holes 5 and integrally formed. The two ends of the conductive posts 6 are respectively placed on the two end faces of the conductive block 2. One end of each conductive post 6 is attached to the inner end face of the thin sheet 4. The conductive posts 6 are made of copper, while the thin sheet 4 can be made of glass, PET, PC, or other thin sheets. A layer of conductive ink 9 is sprayed on both end surfaces of the conductive block 2 and at the top of the conductive post 6.
[0021] In this embodiment, the conductive post 6 of the conductive block 2 is used as the current conductor. After the mobile phone 100 is installed inside the mobile phone case 101, the sliding camera button 102 of the mobile phone 100 will come into contact with the conductive block 2, that is, the sliding camera button 102 will come into contact with the conductive post 6. This allows the sheet 4 and the button surface of the sliding camera button 102 to conduct electricity, so that the normal bioelectrical conduction can be met under the condition of being covered. At the same time, a layer of conductive ink 9 is sprayed on both ends of the conductive post 6, which can protect the conductive post 6 from easy oxidation without affecting the current conduction. In addition, a uniform array arrangement is adopted so that the spacing between each conductive post 6 is the same, thereby avoiding different spacing and making the operation of the button more sensitive for consumers, because if the spacing is different, there may be an operation delay.
[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a silicone pad 7 is provided on the inner end face of the base 1, and the inner end of the conductive block 2 is placed at the center of the silicone pad 7. The edge of the silicone pad 7 covers the inner port of the mounting opening 3. This silicone pad 7 allows it to contact the frame of the mobile phone 100, preventing scratches. Simultaneously, thanks to the elasticity of the silicone pad 7, after the mobile phone 100 is installed, the pressure on the silicone pad 7 creates a micro-interference between the protrusion of the conductive block 2 and the sliding camera button 102, with an interference distance of 0.1mm-0.2mm. This ensures that the sliding camera button 102 of the mobile phone 100 makes full contact with the conductive post 6 on the conductive block 2. To prevent the silicone pad 7 from blocking the contact between the conductive post 6 and the sliding camera button 102, a concave surface 71 is formed in the middle of the silicone pad 7 where it contacts the conductive block 2, causing the conductive block 2 to protrude beyond the silicone pad 7.
[0023] Furthermore, regarding the installation of the base 1, this embodiment provides an annular opening 11 on the side of the base 1. The base 1 is fitted into the mounting opening 3 through the annular opening 11. This design facilitates both installation and subsequent removal.
[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a support ring 8 is provided between the base 1 and the conductive block 2. With the addition of the support ring 8, the conductive block 2 is centrally arranged inside the base 1. This support ring 8 not only centers the conductive block 2 but also fills the surrounding space, ensuring that the sheet 4 is subjected to uniform force, thereby preventing uneven force distribution and breakage during use.
[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
