[0044] Some electronic devices have no tactile feeling of the switch button, and it is difficult for the user to perceive whether the switch button is pressed in place. This results in the user may frequently or with greater force to press the switch button, thereby causing damage to the switch button.
[0045] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a switch device and an electronic device, which increase the tactile feeling when the user uses the switch button, so that the user can clearly perceive whether the switch button is pressed in place, and avoid the user frequently or with greater force to press the switch button, thereby causing damage to the switch button.
[0046] Embodiment 1
[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A switch device includes a driving piece 1, a rotating piece 2 and a limiting piece 3. The driving piece 1 includes a clamping part 11. The rotating piece 2 is connected with the driving piece 1, and the driving piece 1 can rotate relative to the rotating piece 2. The limiting piece 3 is arranged on one side of the rotating piece 2. When the driving piece 1 moves to a first position relative to the rotating piece 2, the driving piece 1 triggers a switch piece 4, and the limiting piece 3 is elastically deformed relative to the rotating piece 2. When the driving piece 1 moves to a second position relative to the rotating piece 2, the driving piece 1 is separated from the switch piece 4, and the clamping part 11 is elastically deformed relative to the rotating piece 2. The switch piece 4 is used to control an electronic device.
[0048] The driving member 1 is one of the core components in the switch device, and its main function is to trigger the switch member 4 through its own movement and interact with other structures. Specifically, the driving member 1 usually contains a clamping part 11, which is used to connect with the rotating member 2 or other structures and achieve specific functions (such as triggering the switch member 4 or generating tactile feedback) during movement. The movement form of the driving member 1 can be rotation or a combination of rotation and sliding and other mechanical actions, depending on the design needs of the switch device. Specifically, the driving member 1 can be a rotating driving member 1 that completes the operation through rotational movement. The rotating driving member 1 is simple in structure and suitable for switch scenarios that require rotational operation, triggering the switch member 4 or generating tactile feedback through changes in the rotation angle. The driving member 1 can also be a combination of rotating and sliding, which can rotate a certain angle while moving along the sliding rail, with double-layer trigger points inside, corresponding to the rotation and sliding actions respectively. When the user rotates the driving member 1, the first layer of trigger points (the elastic deformation of the limiting member 3) is triggered, completing one function. When the user continues to slide the driving member 1, the second layer of trigger points (the elastic deformation of the clamping part 11) is triggered, completing another function. The driving member 1 can be a combination of pressing and rotating, which supports both pressing and rotating operations, with independent pressing trigger mechanisms and rotating transmission mechanisms inside. When the user presses the driving member 1, the pressing trigger mechanism (the elastic deformation of the limiting member 3) is triggered, completing one function. When the user rotates the driving member 1, the transmission mechanism drives the internal gear set to rotate, completing another function and causing the clamping part 11 to elastically deform.
[0049] The rotating member 2 is an important component of the switch device, connected with the driving member 1, allowing the driving member 1 to rotate relatively on it. The main function of the rotating member 2 is to provide a stable rotating base for the driving member 1, and also can realize motion transmission, limiting or tactile feedback through its own structure design. The rotating member 2 can be a bearing type rotating member 2, which realizes low friction and high precision rotating motion through built-in bearings, stable motion, suitable for scenes that need accurate control of rotating angle, long service life, wear resistance. The rotating member 2 can also be a ball type rotating member 2, which uses balls as support points to reduce friction and improve rotation efficiency. The ball type rotating member 2 has simple structure and low cost, and provides certain tactile feedback (slight damping feeling when the ball rolls). The rotating member 2 can also be an elastic rotating member 2, which uses elastic materials or structures to produce tactile feedback during rotation, providing clear tactile feedback and enhancing user experience. The rotating member 2 can also be a gear type rotating member 2, which realizes precise rotation motion control through gear transmission. The gear type rotating member 2 can realize multi-stage transmission to meet complex motion requirements. The tactile feedback is obvious, suitable for scenes that need clear "gear" feeling. The rotating member 2 can also be a combined rotating member 2, which is a composite rotating member 2 combining multiple structure characteristics (such as bearings + elastic materials, etc.), with various functions, suitable for complex operation requirements. The tactile feedback is rich, and the user experience is better.
[0050] The limiting member 3 is a component of the switch device, which mainly provides tactile feedback through its elastic deformation when the driving member 1 moves to the first position. The design of the limiting member 3 directly affects the operation feeling, reliability and service life of the switch device. The limiting member 3 can be set on one side of the rotating member 2 or on the movement path of the driving member 1, which can prevent the driving member 1 from exceeding the predetermined position, and can also provide clear operation feedback to the user through elastic deformation or other mechanisms. Specifically, the limiting member 3 can be a high elasticity limiting member 3, which uses elastic materials (such as springs, rubber or silicone) to realize tactile feedback, and occurs elastic deformation when the driving member 1 reaches a certain position, providing clear tactile feedback to the user. The limiting member 3 can also be a low elasticity limiting member 3, which provides clear physical block to prevent the driving member 1 from exceeding the movement range, with hard tactile feedback, suitable for scenes that need accurate control. For example, the limiting member 3 can be a metal spring or a metal stopper.
[0051] The switch piece 4 is a core component of the switch device that directly controls the on-off of the circuit. Its main function is to realize the connection or disconnection of the circuit according to the action state (such as pressing, rotating or sliding) of the driving piece 1. Specifically, the switch piece 4 can be composed of contacts, connectors and housings, etc. It completes the switching of the circuit state through mechanical movement, and plays a bridge role between user operation and device function. Specifically, the switch piece 4 can be a press switch piece 4, which realizes the connection or disconnection of the circuit through pressing action. The press switch piece 4 is simple to operate, suitable for scenes that need to be triggered quickly, and the touch feedback of the press switch piece 4 is obvious, which can be equipped with a spring to realize automatic reset. The switch piece 4 can also be a rotary switch piece 4, which realizes multi-position switching of the circuit through rotating action. The rotary switch piece 4 provides multi-stage adjustment function, which is suitable for scenes that need fine control, and the rotary switch piece 4 has complex structure, often equipped with gear or cam mechanism to realize accurate control. The switch piece 4 can also be a sliding switch piece 4, which realizes the connection or disconnection of the circuit through sliding action. The sliding switch piece 4 is intuitive to operate, suitable for scenes that need linear adjustment, and the touch feedback can be realized through sliding resistance or clamping groove. The switch piece 4 can also be a micro switch piece 4, which uses the principle of lever to amplify small displacement, realizing high sensitivity switching of the circuit. The micro switch has high sensitivity and fast response speed, and is used in scenes that need accurate control.
[0052] The present disclosure sets the driving piece 1 connected with the rotating piece 2 and realizes relative rotation to trigger the action of the switch piece 4, and also sets the limiting piece 3 on one side of the rotating piece 2, so that when the driving piece 1 moves from the initial position to the first position, the driving piece 1 triggers the switch piece 4, and the limiting piece 3 elastically deforms relative to the rotating piece 2. This elastic deformation will generate a reaction force, which is transmitted to the fingertips of the user, forming a "click" or "spring" touch. When the driving piece 1 continues to move to the second position, the clamping part 11 will elastically deform relative to the rotating piece 2, further enhancing the user's perception of the end of the operation. Thus, the user can clearly perceive whether the switch button is pressed to the position, avoiding the user from frequently or with greater force pressing the switch button, thereby causing damage to the switch button.
[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotating piece 2 includes a rotating shaft 22 and an extension part 21, and the driving piece 1 is rotationally connected to the rotating shaft 22; the extension part 21 is rotationally connected to the rotating shaft 22, the clamping part 11 abuts against the extension part 21 and can drive the extension part 21 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 22, the extension part 21 cooperates with the limiting piece 3, the driving piece 1 rotates to the first position, the extension part 21 contacts the limiting piece 3 to make the limiting piece 3 elastically deform; the driving piece 1 rotates to the second position, the limiting piece 3 limits the extension part 21 and makes the limiting part movable relative to the extension part 21.
[0054] The rotating shaft 22 is the core component of the rotating part 2, providing rotational support for the driving part 1 and the extension part 21. The rotating shaft 22 can support the relative rotation of the driving part 1 and the extension part 21, ensuring smooth and precise movement of the entire device. The extension part 21 is a part of the rotating part 2 that extends from the rotating shaft 22, and its main function is to cooperate with the driving part 1 and the limiting part 3 to achieve motion transmission, tactile feedback, and limiting functions. The extension part 21 is located on one side or around the rotating shaft 22, and through the contact with the clamping part 11 of the driving part 1, it converts the movement of the driving part 1 into its rotation relative to the rotating shaft 22, and further interacts with the limiting part 3. Specifically, the design of the extension part 21 directly affects the operation feel, reliability, and functionality of the switch device. It plays a bridge role between the driving part 1 and the limiting part 3, ensuring the coordinated movement of the entire device. Specifically, the extension part 21 can be a rod or plate type extension part 21, which is in the form of a rod or plate structure, one end connected to the rotating shaft 22, and the other end in contact with the driving part 1 or the limiting part 3. For example, the extension part 21 can be composed of two plate structures, when rotated to the first position, the limiting part 3 contacts the plate structure and elastically deforms to be clamped in the gap between the two plate structures, thereby limiting the extension part 21. The extension part 21 can also be a cam type extension part 21, designed as a cam shape, by rotating to change the contact point with the driving part 1 or the limiting part 3, providing multi-stage triggering function, suitable for scenarios requiring complex operation logic. The tactile feedback is obvious, especially at the places where the cam profile changes, generating resistance or elastic force. When rotating to the first position, the limiting part 3 contacts one side of the cam and elastically deforms to limit the cam. The extension part 21 can also be an extension part 21 with gear structure, achieving precise motion transmission through gear meshing, and the limiting part 3 can be clamped between the gear teeth 211 while elastically deforming to limit the extension part 21. It provides high-precision motion control, suitable for scenarios requiring multi-gear adjustment, and can be linked with other gear components to achieve complex mechanical actions.
[0055] Specifically, the extension part 21 can be located at the same position when the driving part 1 is located at the first position and the second position, that is, the extension part 21 is in contact with the limiting part 3 at the same time as the limiting part elastically deforms to limit the extension part 21, so that the driving part 1 can move relative to the extension part 21 and elastically deform to further enhance the tactile feel. The extension part 21 can also be located at different positions when the driving part 1 is located at the first position and the second position, for example, when the extension part 21 is a cam, during the process of rotating to the first position, the limiting part 3 contacts one side of the cam and elastically deforms; during the process of rotating the driving part 1 from the first position to the second position, the cam continues to rotate in the forward direction, bypassing the limiting part 3, and the other side of the cam has a smaller curvature, so that the elastic part 5 contacts the other side of the cam to limit the rotation of the cam in the opposite direction; then the cam rotates in the opposite direction, so that the driving part 1 moves relative to the cam and elastically deforms to provide tactile feel.
[0056] The clamping part 11 is a part of the driving piece 1, which is used to directly contact and transmit force to the extension part 21. The clamping part 11 can release the extension part 21 at a certain position, so that it is limited by the limiting piece 3. After the extension part 21 is limited, the clamping part 11 can move relative to the extension part 21 and elastically deform to further improve the touch feeling. The clamping part 11 has a specific shape or structure, which can form stable contact with the extension part 21 and realize force transmission. At the same time, it can also elastically deform to provide additional tactile feedback to the user. Specifically, the clamping part 11 can be a plate structure, which abuts against the extension part 21 to drive the extension part 21 to rotate. The clamping part 11 can also be a clamping hook structure, which can be clamped on the extension part 21 to provide better driving effect. The specific shape of the clamping part 11 can be set according to the shape of the extension part 21 to ensure the driving effect.
[0057] When the user operates the driving piece 1 to rotate it to the first position, the clamping part 11 of the driving piece 1 pushes the extension part 21 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 22. The extension part 21 contacts the limiting piece 3, so that the limiting piece 3 elastically deforms, and the elastic deformation of the limiting piece 3 provides clear tactile feedback to the user, prompting the user that the switch has been triggered. When the user continues to operate the driving piece 1 to rotate it to the second position, the driving piece 1 is separated from the switch piece 4, and the limiting piece 3 limits the extension part 21, while allowing the extension part 21 to move relative to the limiting piece 3 to further improve the touch feeling. This design ensures that the driving piece 1 does not exceed the predetermined range after returning to the initial position, avoiding misoperation. Through the cooperation of the extension part 21 and the limiting piece 3, more explicit tactile feedback is realized. The user can feel clear “click” sound or bouncing feeling during operation.
[0058] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the extension 21 comprises a toothed portion, a plurality of teeth 211 are arranged outside the toothed portion, and the limiting piece 3 is arranged between two adjacent teeth 211. The toothed portion is a part of the extension 21 and has a toothed structure with a plurality of teeth 211 arranged outside. The toothed portion provides an accurate positioning point to ensure that the driving piece 1 can trigger the action of the limiting piece 3 when it rotates to a specific position. The toothed portion realizes multi-stage triggering function or provides clear tactile feedback by cooperating with the limiting piece 3. The teeth 211 are protrusions 6 on the toothed portion, which are used to contact or separate from the limiting piece 3. When the driving piece 1 rotates to the first position, the teeth 211 push the limiting piece 3 to elastically deform, thereby generating tactile feedback. When the driving piece 1 rotates to the second position, the teeth 211 are separated from the limiting piece 3, and the limiting piece 3 returns to its original state and limits the extension 21. Through the cooperation of the toothed portion and the limiting piece 3, more explicit tactile feedback is realized. Users can feel clear “click” sound or elastic feeling during operation, especially when the teeth 211 contact or separate from the limiting piece 3. The plurality of teeth 211 on the toothed portion allows the limiting piece 3 to trigger different actions at different positions, thereby realizing multi-stage triggering function. For example, a switch piece 4 can be triggered at the first position, and reset at the second position.
[0059] Specifically, when the driving piece 1 moves from the second position to the first position, the limiting piece 3 can elastically deform under the action of the teeth 211 to disengage from the gap between the adjacent teeth 211 and then be clamped in the gap between the next adjacent teeth 211, thereby improving the touch feeling, so that the user can clearly know that the driving piece 1 has reached the first position and the switch piece 4 has been triggered; when the driving piece 1 reversely rotates from the first position to the second position, the limiting piece 3 can be clamped in the gap between the next adjacent teeth 211, thereby limiting the reverse rotation of the toothed portion, so that the limiting piece 3 slides along the teeth 211 to further improve the touch feeling.
[0060] More specifically, the limiting piece 3 can be arranged on the side of the rotating piece 2 away from the driving piece 1 and inclined towards the side close to the driving piece 1, so that when the driving piece 1 moves from the second position to the first position, the end surface of the limiting piece 3 contacts the teeth 211 to facilitate the elastic deformation of the limiting piece 3, and when the driving piece 1 moves from the first position to the second position, the end of the limiting piece 3 can be clamped on the teeth 211 to avoid the reverse rotation of the toothed portion.
[0061] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of teeth 211 comprises a first tooth 211, a second tooth 211 and a third tooth 211 which are sequentially adjacent, the teeth 211 are inclined to the first direction to enable the clamping portion 11 to slide along the circumference of the toothed portion, the first direction and the direction in which the driving member 1 rotates to the second position satisfy the same condition; wherein the driving member 1 rotates to the first position, the clamping portion 11 is clamped between the first tooth 211 and the second tooth 211; the driving member 1 rotates to the second position, the teeth 211 of the toothed portion are clamped on the limiting member 3, the clamping portion 11 slides along the circumference of the gear and elastically deforms to be clamped between the second tooth 211 and the third tooth 211.
[0062] The teeth 211 are inclined to the side close to the driving member 1 to form a certain slope, which allows the clamping portion 11 of the driving member 1 to slide along the circumference of the toothed portion, further improves the touch feeling, reduces the friction between the clamping portion 11 and the teeth 211, and ensures smooth movement. Specifically, the inclination direction of the teeth 211 can be the direction in which the driving member 1 rotates from the first position to the second position, so as to facilitate the sliding of the clamping portion 11 along the teeth 211 and the jumping of the limiting member 3 between the tooth gaps of adjacent teeth 211. More specifically, the clamping end of the clamping portion 11 can cooperate with the gap between adjacent teeth 211 so that the clamping portion 11 can be clamped with the teeth 211 to push the teeth 211 when the driving member 1 rotates to the first position, and slide along the inclined teeth 211 when the driving member 1 rotates to the second position. More specifically, the angle between the extension direction of the limiting portion and the inclination direction of the clamped tooth 211 closest to the limiting portion can be less than 30 degrees to further facilitate the jumping of the limiting member 3 between the tooth gaps of adjacent teeth 211.
[0063] The plurality of teeth 211 can further include a fourth tooth 211, a fifth tooth 211 and a sixth tooth 211 which are sequentially adjacent, when the driving member 1 is in the initial position, the limiting member 3 is clamped between the fifth tooth 211 and the sixth tooth 211, and the clamping portion 11 is clamped between the first tooth 211 and the second tooth 211; when the user operates the driving member 1 to rotate it from the second position to the first position, the clamping portion 11 of the driving member 1 pushes the toothed portion of the extension portion 21 to rotate, triggering the action of the switch member 4, and the limiting member 3 is clamped in the gap between the fourth tooth 211 and the fifth tooth 211, thereby improving the touch feeling, so that the user can clearly feel the clear "click" sound or the elastic feeling of the elastic deformation of the limiting member 3 into the tooth gap, so that the user can clearly know that the driving member 1 has reached the first position, and the switch member 4 has been triggered. When the user continues to operate the driving member 1 to rotate it in the reverse direction to the second position, the teeth 211 of the toothed portion are clamped on the limiting member 3 to limit the reverse rotation of the toothed portion, the clamping portion 11 slides along the circumference of the toothed portion, passes through the inclined surface of the second tooth 211 and elastically deforms, and then is clamped between the second tooth 211 and the third tooth 211, so that the user can feel the clear "click" sound or the elastic feeling of the elastic deformation of the clamping portion 11 into the tooth gap between the second tooth 211 and the third tooth 211, so that the user can clearly know that the driving member 1 has reached the second position reset. That is, because the teeth 211 are inclined, the clamping portion 11 can be clamped with the extension member when the driving member 1 rotates to the first position, and the limiting member 3 can limit the extension member when the driving member 1 rotates to the second position; so that the clamping effect and the pushing effect of the driving member 1 are better when the driving member 1 rotates to the first position to overcome the elastic deformation between the limiting members, the extension member can be pushed to rotate, the limiting member 3 elastically deforms and jumps between the teeth 211, and the limiting effect of the limiting member 3 is better when the driving member 1 rotates to the second position, and the clamping effect of the clamping portion 11 of the driving member 1 is worse, so that the clamping portion 11 slides along the teeth 211.
[0064] Specifically, the first tooth 211, the second tooth 211 and the third tooth 211 and the fourth tooth 211, the fifth tooth 211 and the sixth tooth 211 can be partially the same teeth 211, and the limiting member 3 can be arranged in axial misalignment with the clamping portion 11 to avoid clamping position conflict.
[0065] The first direction and the direction in which the driving member 1 rotates to the second position satisfy the same condition, that is, the first direction and the direction in which the driving member 1 rotates to the second position are substantially the same, for example, the two directions can have an included angle of 30 degrees or less, so that the driving member 1 can slide along the teeth 211 when rotating to the second position.
[0066] As Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving member 1 further comprises a sleeve 14, a connecting rod 13 and a pressing plate 12. The sleeve 14 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 22 and can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 22. The connecting rod 13 is connected between the sleeve 14 and the driving member 1. The pressing plate 12 is connected with the connecting rod 13 and the clamping part 11 respectively. The sleeve 14 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 22 and can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 22, which can provide a stable rotation basis and ensure smooth movement. The connecting rod 13 is located between the sleeve 14 and the driving member 1, which plays a role in force transmission and can transmit the force of the pressing plate 12 to the sleeve 14 so that the sleeve 14 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 22. The length or angle of the connecting rod 13 can be adjusted to optimize the efficiency of force transmission. Specifically, the connecting rod 13 can be a bent rod structure that bends towards the driving rod, thereby facilitating force transmission.
[0067] The pressing plate 12 is the part of the driving member 1 that directly contacts the user. Its main function is to transmit the user's operating force (such as pressing or rotating) to the internal structure of the driving member 1 (connecting rod 13, clamping part 11, etc.). The design of the pressing plate 12 directly affects the operation feel and user experience of the switch device. It usually has certain shape and material characteristics to ensure that the user can conveniently apply force and feel clear tactile feedback. Specifically, the pressing plate 12 is a bridge between the driving member 1 and the user, responsible for converting external operations into internal mechanical movements, and can also provide additional tactile feedback through its elastic deformation. Specifically, the pressing plate 12 can be flat, with a flat surface, usually with anti-slip texture or markings, simple and intuitive to operate, suitable for scenarios that require large-area pressing, providing uniform force transmission effect. The pressing plate 12 can also be arc-shaped, with a slightly convex 6 or concave surface, conforming to ergonomic design, improving operation comfort, and providing soft tactile feedback. The pressing plate 12 can also be cylindrical, suitable for rotating or pressing operations, supporting multi-directional operations, suitable for scenarios that require rotation triggering, with obvious tactile feedback, especially during rotation. The surface of the pressing plate 12 can also have one or more protrusions for guiding user operations, providing clear operation guidance, reducing misoperation, enhancing tactile feedback, especially in blind operation. The pressing plate 12 can also be a combination shape, a composite pressing plate 12 combining multiple shape characteristics (such as flat + arc, cylinder + protrusion, etc.). It has multiple functions and is suitable for complex operation requirements, providing rich tactile feedback and higher reliability.
[0068] For example, Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, a protrusion 6 is arranged on the sleeve 14, and the protrusion 6 triggers the switch 4 when the driving member 1 moves to the first position relative to the rotating member 2. The protrusion 6 is a protruding structure on the outer side of the sleeve 14, and is located at a specific position. When the driving member 1 rotates to the first position, the protrusion 6 contacts the switch 4 and triggers the action of the switch 4. The shape and position of the protrusion 6 directly affect the accuracy and reliability of the triggering. The shape of the protrusion 6 can be adapted to the type of switch. For example, if the switch 4 is a vertical button, the side of the protrusion 6 close to the switch 4 can be arranged as an inclined surface or a curved surface, so as to facilitate the generation of a vertical component force to facilitate the pressing of the button.

[0070] The elastic member 5 is a component that can deform under external force and return to its original shape after the force disappears. The elastic member 5 is arranged between the driving member 1 and the rotating shaft 22. When the driving member 1 moves to the first position, the elastic member 5 elastically deforms to drive the driving member 1 to move to the second position, so that the clamping portion 11 slides along the circumference of the gear and elastically deforms to be clamped between the second gear teeth 211 and the third gear teeth 211. The elastic member 5 provides clear tactile feedback to the user during the deformation process, enhancing the operation confirmation feeling. Through the action of the elastic member 5, the driving member 1 can accurately move from the first position to the second position, avoiding position deviation caused by friction or inertia. Specifically, the elastic member 5 can be a spring type elastic member 5, which realizes elastic deformation by using the compression, stretching or torsion characteristics of the spring. The structure is simple, the performance is reliable, a stable elastic force is provided, and it is suitable for scenes that need accurate control. For example, the spring can be a compression spring, which is compressed under external force and returns to its original shape after the force disappears. It is commonly used for key reset. The spring can also be a stretching spring, which is stretched under external force and returns to its original shape after the force disappears. It is commonly used for suspension type structure. The spring can also be a torsion spring, which generates torque under external force and returns to its original shape after the force disappears. It is commonly used for rotating mechanisms. The elastic member 5 can also be a sheet type elastic member 5 such as a spring sheet, which realizes elastic deformation by using the bending characteristics of the sheet-shaped material.
[0071] As shown in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, a protrusion 6 is arranged on the sleeve 14, and the protrusion 6 triggers the switch 4 when the driving member 1 moves to the first position relative to the rotating member 2. The protrusion 6 is a protruding structure on the outer side of the sleeve 14, and is located at a specific position. When the driving member 1 rotates to the first position, the protrusion 6 contacts the switch 4 and triggers the action of the switch 4. The shape and position of the protrusion 6 directly affect the accuracy and reliability of the triggering. The shape of the protrusion 6 can be adapted to the type of switch. For example, if the switch 4 is a vertical button, the side of the protrusion 6 close to the switch 4 can be arranged as an inclined surface or a curved surface, so as to facilitate the generation of a vertical component force to facilitate the pressing of the button. Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the end of the limiting piece 3 is provided with a clamping structure 31, and a clamping space is provided between adjacent gear teeth 211, and the clamping structure 31 and the clamping space are matched. This design further optimizes the functionality, reliability and tactile feedback of the switch device. The end of the limiting piece 3 is designed in a specific shape to cooperate with the clamping space between the gear teeth 211. When the driving piece 1 rotates to a specific position, the clamping structure 31 is embedded in the clamping space, limiting the movement range of the extension 21, providing clear tactile feedback and enhancing the user's operation confirmation. Specifically, the clamping structure 31 can be a protrusion 6, a hook or other suitable structure, for example, the clamping structure 31 can be a bent structure bent inward, which facilitates elastic deformation while ensuring clamping effect. The clamping space between the gear teeth 211 refers to the space reserved between adjacent gear teeth 211 for accommodating the clamping structure 31 of the limiting piece 3. The clamping space cooperates with the clamping structure 31 of the limiting piece 3 to achieve precise positioning and limiting function. It can ensure that the driving piece 1 can trigger the corresponding action at different positions.
