[0006] The cross shaft is provided with a horizontal shaft, the button is provided with a mounting hole that mates with the horizontal shaft, the cross shaft is provided with a side hole, and the housing is provided with a convex shaft that mates with the side hole.
[0007] The cross shaft is provided with a weight-reducing groove, the button is provided with a fixing plate, the mounting hole is provided on the fixing plate, and a reinforcing rib is provided between the fixing plate and the button.
[0008] A sealing ring is provided between the button and the circuit board.
[0009] The button includes a bracket and a button layer. The bracket is bonded to the button layer and connected to a cross shaft.
[0010] The bracket is connected to the button layer via adhesive backing.
[0011] The bracket is provided with a raised rib, and the circuit board is provided with a micro switch. The raised rib, the sealing ring and the micro switch abut against each other.
[0012] The cross-section of the raised rib is cross-shaped.
[0013] The housing has a through hole, the sealing ring is disposed in the through hole, the sealing ring has a relief groove, and the cross shaft is disposed in the relief groove.
[0014] The button layer is transparent, and the surface of the button layer has character stripes.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] The cross-shaped design facilitates button pressing, allowing the button to rotate along the cross-shaped axis. This makes it easier to connect the button to the circuit board, enabling vehicle control. The buttons are convenient, quick to use, and more practical.
[0017] The cross shaft, side hole, convex shaft on the housing, and mounting hole on the button work together to achieve a stable connection between the button and the housing, thereby enabling the button to rotate stably on the housing when pressed.
[0018] A sealing ring is provided between the button and the circuit board. The sealing ring helps to protect the circuit board and prevent the button from directly contacting the circuit board and causing damage. When the pressing bracket rotates, the ribs squeeze the sealing ring and compress the micro switch, thereby enabling the button to control the circuit board. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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.
[0027] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the car remote key button includes a housing 1, a button 2, and a circuit board 3. The housing 1 is hinged to the button 2 via a cross shaft 4. Specifically, the button 2 is a circular plate, and the housing 1 has a circular mounting groove that mates with the button 2.
[0029] The cross-shaped axis 4 facilitates the pressing of button 2, causing button 2 to rotate along the cross-shaped axis 4. This allows button 2 to cooperate with circuit board 3 to control the vehicle, making the remote key convenient, quick, and more practical.
[0030] Reference Figure 4-6 The cross shaft 4 has a horizontal shaft 7, the button 2 has a mounting hole 11 that mates with the horizontal shaft 7, the cross shaft 4 has a side hole 8, and the housing 1 has a convex shaft 14 that mates with the side hole 8. The horizontal shaft 7 on the cross shaft 4 and the mounting hole 11 on the button 2 work together to achieve a hinge between the cross shaft 4 and the button 2. The side hole 8 on the cross shaft 4 and the convex shaft 14 work together to achieve a hinge between the cross shaft 4 and the housing 1, thereby enabling the button 2 to rotate on the housing 1 when the button 2 is pressed. Specifically, there are two horizontal shafts 7 and two side holes 8. The two horizontal shafts 7 and the two side holes 8 are arranged in a cross shape on the cross shaft 4. The button 2 has two mounting holes 11, and the housing 1 has two convex shafts 14.
[0031] The cross shaft 4 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 9, thereby reducing the weight of the cross shaft 4 and the weight of the entire key. The button 2 is provided with a fixing plate 10, and the mounting hole 11 is provided on the fixing plate 10, thereby realizing the hinge work between the convex shaft 14 on the cross shaft 4 and the mounting hole 11 on the fixing plate 10. Specifically, there are two fixing plates 10, which are arranged opposite to each other. The fixing plate 10 and the button 2 are integrally formed. A reinforcing rib 12 is provided between the fixing plate 10 and the button 2, thereby increasing the connection strength between the fixing plate 10 and the button 2.
[0032] A sealing ring 5 is provided between the button 2 and the circuit board 3. The sealing ring 5 is designed to protect the circuit board 3 and prevent the button 2 from directly contacting the circuit board 3 and causing damage. In addition, the sealing ring can also seal and protect the circuit board 3. Specifically, the sealing ring 5 is snapped into the housing 2.
[0033] The button 2 includes a bracket 201 and a button layer 202. The bracket 201 is bonded to the button layer 202 and the bracket 201 is connected to the cross shaft 4. The button layer 202 is used to identify the function of the key, and the bracket 201 is used for installation with the cross shaft 4.
[0034] The bracket 201 is connected to the button layer 202 via adhesive 203, thereby achieving a stable connection between the bracket 201 and the button layer 202.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 The bracket 201 is provided with a rib 6, and the circuit board 3 is provided with a micro switch 301. The rib 6, the sealing ring 5 and the micro switch 301 abut against each other. Pressing the bracket 201 to rotate causes the rib 6 to squeeze the sealing ring 5 to squeeze the micro switch 301, thereby realizing the control operation of the circuit board 3.
[0036] The cross section of the rib 6 is cross-shaped, which increases the strength of the rib 6. The cross section of the rib 6 is wedge-shaped, which facilitates the compression of the micro switch 301.
[0037] The housing 1 has a through hole 13, and a sealing ring 5 is disposed inside the through hole 13, thereby sealing the through hole 13 and facilitating the contact between the protruding rib 6 on the button 2 and the micro switch 301 on the circuit board 3. The specific shape of the through hole 13 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the sealing ring 5 is provided with a relief groove 501, and the cross shaft 4 is set in the relief groove 501. The installation of the cross shaft 4 in the relief groove 501 prevents the sealing ring 5 from being affected by the installation of the cross shaft 4.
[0038] The button layer 202 is a transparent part, and the surface of the button layer 202 has character stripes, thereby achieving a transparent effect on the surface of the button layer 202.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
