Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of indicator button technology, and in particular to a split double-frame indicator button. Background Technology

[0002] An indicator button is a button with an indicator function, usually used on devices or interfaces to provide operation instructions or status feedback. Indicator buttons may have different designs and functions. The buttons usually have clear markings, such as text, symbols or colors, to indicate their function and purpose. When the button is pressed, it triggers an internal switch or sensor, thereby sending a signal to the device to perform the corresponding operation or change the state.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent No. CN201430580Y discloses a low-height multi-directional indicator key structure, including a magnetic component, a keycap, and an elastomer. At least a portion of the magnetic component is installed inside the keycap, and the outer center of the elastomer is positioned adjacent to the keycap. The movement of the keycap and the magnetic component is restricted by the elastomer. The key feature is that the elastomer is a spiral structure that gradually expands outward from the central region of the elastomer. The outer edge of the spiral spring structure of the elastomer has a frame, which cooperates with the spiral spring structure.

[0004] Although the above technical solutions have solved the corresponding technical problems, they still have the following drawbacks:

[0005] The indicator buttons in the above technical solution are integrated into one structure, with the buttons and indicator lights combined. Long-term vibration can easily lead to poor contact or LED beads falling off. In case of failure, the entire unit needs to be replaced, which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0010] The aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button includes an inner frame, an FPC light board installed inside the inner frame, and both ends of the FPC light board passing through the inner frame and soldered to the button mounting circuit board.

[0011] In the aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button, a partition plate for separating the FPC light panel is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner frame.

[0012] In the aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button, a glass sheet matching the inner frame is installed on the side of the inner frame at a position corresponding to the FPC light panel.

[0013] The aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button has a flanged design on the outer frame corresponding to the position of the glass plate.

[0014] The aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button, wherein the button outer frame includes an outer frame body one and an outer frame body two, and the outer frame body one and the outer frame body two are integrally formed. The outer frame body one has four snap-fit ​​components arranged at equal intervals integrally formed. The button mounting circuit board has mounting slots corresponding to the four snap-fit ​​components at the positions of the snap-fit ​​components.

[0015] In the aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a fixing rod fixed to the outer frame, and the end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to a fixing block that cooperates with the mounting slot, and the fixing block is of an inclined design.

[0016] In the aforementioned split dual-frame indicator button, a positioning block for fixing the inner frame is provided at the edge of the inner frame, and a positioning slot matching the positioning block is provided on the outer frame at the position corresponding to the positioning block.

[0034] In order to take advantage of the flexibility of FPC circuit boards and solve the problem that general indicator buttons use ordinary PCBs and require rigid connections, which leads to poor contact, affects the placement of LED beads, and causes the brightness of the light to change with the pressing, in this embodiment: the inner frame 3 of the button includes an inner frame body 301, and an FPC light board 5 is installed inside the inner frame body 301. Both ends of the FPC light board 5 pass through the inner frame body 301 and are soldered to the button mounting circuit board 1.

[0035] In order to separate the FPC light panel 5 and prevent light leakage after the double-frame lamp is lit, in this embodiment, a partition plate 3011 for separating the FPC light panel 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner frame 301.

[0036] In order to provide shielding and protection for the FPC light panel 5 installed on the inner frame 3 of the button, in this embodiment, a glass sheet 501 matching the inner frame 301 is installed on the side of the inner frame 301 at the position corresponding to the FPC light panel 5.
