The button 2 is slidingly arranged on the seat body 1, a sleeve 22 is arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the button 2, the elastic reset member 3 is arranged between the seat body 1 and the button 2 and is sleeved outside the sleeve 22, and the elastic reset member 3 is a compression spring. One side of the button 2 is provided with a buckle 21, the first light guide body 4 is detachably clamped and connected to the button 2 through the buckle 21, the first light guide body 4 has a first reflecting surface 41, the second light guide body 5 is fixed to the seat body 1, and the second light guide body 5 has a second reflecting surface 51; the transmitting tube 6 is located below the first light guide body 4 and the emission direction is towards the first reflecting surface 41; specifically, the lower bottom surface of the seat body 1 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 11 which is in communication with the lower bottom surface and the inside of the seat body 1, and the transmitting tube 6 is located in the first accommodating cavity 11, so that the loss of light can be reduced. The receiving tube 7 is located below the second light guide body 5 and the receiving inlet is towards the second reflecting surface 51. The lower bottom surface of the seat body 1 is also provided with a second accommodating cavity 12 which is in communication with the lower bottom surface and the inside of the seat body 1, and the receiving tube 7 is located in the second accommodating cavity 12, so that the loss of light can be reduced and the accuracy of the photoelectric induction signal can be improved. The first reflecting surface 41 and the second reflecting surface 51 are arranged in axial symmetry when they face each other, and the included angle between each of them and the symmetry axis is 45 degrees. In this way, the light emitted by the transmitting tube 6 can be reflected back into the receiving tube 7 after passing through the first reflecting surface 41 and the second reflecting surface 51. When the button 2 slides relative to the seat body 1, the first light guide body 4 moves relative to the second light guide body 5 to change the amount of light reflection between the first light guide body 4 and the second light guide body 5, so that the signal received by the receiving tube 7 changes.
[0024] The buckle 21 comprises an upper clamping block 211 and a lower clamping block 212. The upper clamping block 211 has a positioning slope. The first light guide 4 has a stop slope 42 on the side opposite to the first reflecting surface 41. The stop slope 42 abuts against the positioning slope.

Therefore, the first light guide 4 can be quickly and accurately installed on the button 2, improving the convenience of assembly and the accuracy of position. Specifically, the number of the upper clamping block 211 is at least two. The positioning slopes of all the upper clamping blocks 211 are on the same plane. In this way, the upper clamping block 211 and the first light guide 4 can form multi-point abutting positioning, making the positioning more accurate.
[0025] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , when the button 2 is retracted into the seat body 1, the highest point and the lowest point of the first reflecting surface 41 are at the same horizontal height as the highest point and the lowest point of the second reflecting surface 51. When the button 2 is extended out of the seat body 1, the highest point of the second reflecting surface 51 is below the lowest point of the first reflecting surface 41. Of course, when the button 2 is extended out of the seat body 1, the highest point of the second reflecting surface 51 can also be between the lowest point and the highest point of the first reflecting surface 41. In this way, the reflecting area between the first reflecting surface 41 and the second reflecting surface 51 can gradually change with the movement of the button 2, achieving the purpose of outputting different light signals.
[0026] Further, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the first light guide 4 is provided with an inwardly recessed structure 44 towards the light-incident surface of the emitting tube 6. This can make the incident light diverge everywhere of the first reflective surface 41, which is beneficial to the reflection of the light. In addition, the upper end of the first light guide 4 is provided with a triangular structure, one of the inclined surfaces of which forms the abutting inclined surface 42 / first reflective surface 41, and a vertical surface adjacent to the abutting inclined surface 42 / first reflective surface 41 and opposite to the second light guide 5 forms the light-incident plane 45 of the first light guide 4. The lower end of the first light guide 4 is provided with a columnar structure. Similarly, the upper end of the second light guide 5 is provided with a triangular structure, one of the inclined surfaces of which forms the second reflective surface 51, and a vertical surface adjacent to the second reflective surface 51 and opposite to the first light guide 4 forms the light-incident plane 52 of the first light guide 4. The lower end of the second light guide 5 is provided with a columnar structure. The second light guide 5 is provided with an outwardly protruding structure 53 towards the light-incident surface of the receiving tube 7. This can make the emitted light concentrate in the middle, so as to be received by the receiving tube 7, which is beneficial to accurately collecting the amount of light and forming an accurate photoelectric signal.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 3 , the seat body 1 comprises an upper cover 1a and a base 1b, the upper cover 1a is provided with a first fastening part 13, the base 1b is provided with a second fastening part 14, the first fastening part 13 is fastened with the second fastening part 14; the inner cavity of the upper cover 1a and the base 1b forms an inner cavity for accommodating the button 2; the second light guide 5 is arranged on the base 1b. By arranging the detachable combination of the upper cover 1a and the base 1b of the seat body 1, the button 2 and the elastic reset member 3 are more easily assembled, which improves the convenience of assembly.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , the inner bottom surface of the seat body 1 is provided with a protrusion 17 protruding inwardly, the side surface of the second light guide 5 is provided with a groove 54 recessed inwardly, and the protrusion 17 is clamped with the groove 54. By arranging the cooperation of the protrusion 17 and the groove 54, the second light guide 5 can be conveniently and stably installed on the seat body 1, which effectively improves the convenience of assembly and the accuracy of position.
[0029] In combination with the above and Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In operation, the button 2 is pressed to slide into the seat 1, the button 2 compresses the elastic reset member 3 and drives the first light guide 4 to move, the first light guide 4 moves relative to the second light guide 5, in the initial stage, the first reflecting surface 41 is staggered with the second reflecting surface 51, then, the first reflecting surface 41 gradually partially faces the second reflecting surface 51 in the horizontal position, thus, the reflecting areas of the two gradually increase, at this time, the light quantity from the emitting tube 6, reflected by the first reflecting surface 41, reflected by the second reflecting surface 51 and reaching the receiving tube 7 gradually increases, thus, the receiving tube 7 generates different photoelectric signals, or, when the button 2 is completely retracted into the seat 1 and the first reflecting surface 41 completely faces the second reflecting surface 51, the receiving tube 7 generates a changed photoelectric signal, thus, the operation of the button 2 can be transmitted to the control system through the PCB 200 and executed.
[0030] The utility model discloses the seat 1 and button 2 are set up, make the button 2 slide to set up in the seat 1, again set up infrared pair tube on the PCB 200, fix the second light guide 5 on the seat 1, and the first light guide 4.
