[0028] In order to solve the technical problem that other hard objects may scratch, flatten or damage the touch button in the prior art, thus affecting the touch function of the touch button, this utility model provides a touch key 1 and a protective cover for an electronic device.

[0029] The following describes in detail the specific structure of the touch key 1 of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of this utility model, according to the appendix. Figures 1-3 As shown, the specific structure of the touch key 1 of the electronic device includes a touch key body 11 and a conductor 12.

[0030] It can be understood that the electronic device of the embodiment of the utility model includes cell -phone or tablet computer, touch button is touch key 1 position arranged in cell -phone or tablet computer side, namely when the finger touches the touch key 1 position, cell -phone or tablet computer can receive corresponding signal and make the feedback of certain function.

[0031] According to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, two convex rings 112 are arranged at the outer side wall of the touch key body 11, and the two convex rings 112 are arranged at intervals.

[0032] Specifically, when the touch key body 11 is detachably assembled on the side of the protective sleeve, and the protective sleeve is assembled on the electronic device, at this time, one end surface of the touch key body 11 is attached to the touch button of the electronic device, so as to realize the touch control of the touch button under the action of each conductive body 12.

[0033] The touch key body 11 of the embodiment of the utility model is detachably arranged, specifically, when assembling the touch key body 11, only the entire touch key body 11 is inserted into the assembly opening 21 of the protective sleeve of the electronic device, until the two convex rings 112 are clamped in the assembly opening 21, thereby realizing the stable effect of the entire touch key body 11, preventing the touch key body 11 from easily falling off the protective sleeve.

[0034] According to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of open accommodating cavities 111 are arranged along the length of the touch key body 11; the conductive body 12 is provided with a plurality of conductive bodies 12, and each conductive body 12 is detachably built in each accommodating cavity 111, and one end of the conductive body 12 is attached to the control key.

[0035] Specifically, a plurality of accommodating cavities 111 are arranged in the touch key body 11, and each accommodating cavity 111 is spaced apart by a certain distance, by assembling each conductive body 12 in each accommodating cavity 111, when sleeving on the electronic device, and when the touch key body 11 is clamped in the assembly opening 21 of the protective sleeve, one end of each conductive body 12 is attached to the touch button of the electronic device through the opening, so that the user's finger can realize the touch control of the touch button when sliding along the touch surface of the touch key body 11 under the action of each conductive body 12. By this arrangement, the touch button of the electronic device is further protected, avoiding the entire touch button being exposed and being easily scratched, crushed or damaged by other hard objects.

[0036] It needs to be explained that, since the touch button of the electronic device is provided with a plurality of charge contacts, one end of each of the conductive bodies 12 of the embodiment of the utility model is respectively attached to the plurality of charge contacts on the shooting button, and a plurality of independent charge transmission channels are formed by the conductive bodies 12, when the user's finger is attached to each charged point on the touch surface of the touch key main body 11, since the human tissue (especially the skin) is a kind of dielectric, the capacitive coupling effect can be enhanced, therefore under the action of the human body electric field, the user's finger and the conductive body 12 form a coupling capacitor, that is, part of the charge contacts for triggering the touch button, at the same time, if the finger further slides on the length of the touch surface of the touch key main body 11, then the finger is connected to the charge contact of the next conductive body 12 after breaking the charge contact of the previous conductive body 12, thereby realizing the touch of the touch button of the electronic device.

[0037] It also needs to be explained that the touch key main body 11 is made of plastic deformation, for example, made of silicone rubber material, the silicone rubber material has excellent elastic recovery performance, when assembling or disassembling the conductive bodies 12, the conductive bodies 12 only need to be inserted into the direction of the accommodating cavity 111, so that the accommodating cavity 111 is deformed when being extruded, that is, the outer diameter of the accommodating cavity 111 is expanded to be greater than the outer diameter of the conductive body 12, when the conductive body 12 is completely inserted into the accommodating cavity 111, since the accommodating cavity 111 is not extruded, it can restore to the original state, at this time, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 111 is tightly attached to the outer side wall of the conductive body 12, so that the conductive bodies 12 can be fixed, preventing the conductive bodies 12 from easily falling off.

[0038] According to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in some specific embodiments, the cavity wall of each accommodating cavity 111 is provided with a first inclined surface 11, and the outer side of each conductive body 12 is provided with a second inclined surface 121 attached to the first inclined surface 11.

[0039] Specifically, when each conductive body 12 is assembled in each accommodating cavity 111, the first inclined surface 11 and the second inclined surface 121 form a tight attachment, the friction between the outer side wall of the conductive body 12 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 111 is increased, so that it can be firmly located in the accommodating cavity 111, which can play a positioning role in the accommodating cavity 111, and can ensure that each conductive body 12 is difficult to deviate or fall out of the accommodating cavity 111.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the height of the accommodating cavity 111 is equal to or at least greater than the height of the conductive body 12.

[0041] Specifically, when each of the conductive bodies 12 is assembled in each of the accommodating cavities 111, the height of the accommodating cavities 111 is equal to the height of the conductive bodies 12, so that the precise fit between the two can be ensured, and the end of each of the conductive bodies 12 can be in abutment with the touch button of the electronic device, thereby avoiding the situation that at least part of the conductive bodies 12 protrudes out of the accommodating cavities 111 or the end of the conductive bodies 12 is away from the touch button by a certain distance, so that the touch on the touch button cannot be performed. That is, when the user presses or touches the touch surface of the touch key body 11, the end of each of the conductive bodies 12 is in abutment with the bottom surface of the accommodating cavities 111, and the other end can be in abutment with the touch button of the electronic device, so that the touch on the touch button can be performed.

[0042] According to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, in some specific embodiments, the touch key body 11 includes a seat body 113 and a cover plate 114, and each of the accommodating cavities 111 is formed in the seat body 113, and the cover plate 114 is detachably arranged on the top of the seat body 113.

[0043] Specifically, in order to improve the convenience of assembling or disassembling each of the conductive bodies 12, if each of the conductive bodies 12 needs to be disassembled or replaced, the cover plate 114 only needs to be detached from the top of the seat body 113 to expose each of the conductive bodies 12, and then each of the conductive bodies 12 can be taken out of the accommodating cavities 111. Conversely, if each of the conductive bodies 12 needs to be assembled, each of the conductive bodies 12 is placed in each of the accommodating cavities 111, and then the cover plate 114 is arranged on the top of the seat body 113 to seal each of the accommodating cavities 111, so as to prevent each of the conductive bodies 12 from falling out of the accommodating cavities 111.

[0044] It can be understood that the seat body 113 and the cover plate 114 are detachably connected by buckling or screwing, and the specific disassembly mode is not limited herein.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the end surface of the touch key body 11 away from the opening is provided with a pattern printing layer.

[0046] Specifically, the pattern printing layer is arranged on the end surface of the touch key body 11 away from the opening, which can enhance the personalized design, increase the aesthetic degree, improve the appearance attraction of the product, and meet the aesthetic needs of the user. Specifically, the pattern printing layer is added with various patterns and designs, so that the appearance is more beautiful and meets the aesthetic needs of the user. The pattern printing layer is used to identify different keys or functions, so as to help the user to easily identify and use the touch key 1. In other embodiments, the pattern printing layer is a texture design. Thus, the friction of the touch surface of the touch key body 11 can be enhanced to some extent, so that the user has a better hand feeling and stronger anti-skid performance when pressing.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the end surface of the pattern printing layer is provided with a protective layer.

[0048] Specifically, the protective layer is used to protect the pattern printed on the surface of the article, avoiding the pattern printing layer from being easily affected by factors such as wear, scratches and pollution during daily use, and the protective layer can effectively reduce damage.

[0049] For example, the protective layer is a sheet of PC (polycarbonate material) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), so that the protective layer of the PC sheet has relatively strong impact strength, can resist impact and vibration, and has corrosion resistance, so that the printing layer is not easily eroded by chemicals. The protective layer of the TPU sheet has strong wear resistance, can prevent the surface pattern from being scratched or worn, and also has excellent flexibility, which can be used to adapt to different surfaces and shapes.

[0050] According to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, in some specific embodiments, the inner side wall of each opening is formed with a guide surface for guiding the conductive body 12 to pass through the accommodation cavity 111.

[0051] Specifically, when the conductive body 12 is assembled in the accommodation cavity 111, the guide surface is a gradually narrowing channel, and the inclined surface can help the mounting member slide along a predetermined path until it reaches a specified position, so that the conductive body 12 can be more accurately positioned in the accommodation cavity 111 under the guidance of the guide surface. When the conductive body 12 is guided by the guide surface and can stably move into the accommodation cavity 111, this arrangement can reduce friction and resistance when assembling each conductive body 12, so that the assembly process is more smooth.

[0052] It can be understood that each guide surface of the embodiment of the utility model is an arc surface or an inclined surface.

[0053] The specific structure of the protective sleeve provided by the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below, according to the drawings Figures 4-5 As shown in FIG. 1, the specific structure of the protective sleeve includes a protective sleeve main body 2 and the touch key 1 of the electronic device in any of the above embodiments, the side of the protective sleeve main body 2 is through the assembly opening 21 corresponding to the touch key 1 of the electronic device, the assembly opening 21 is provided with an inner protrusion 22, and the two protruding rings 112 of the touch key 1 are respectively abutted with the two sides of the inner protrusion 22.

[0054] Specifically, the two convex rings 112 of the touch key body 11 are at a certain distance, when the inner flange arranged on the slot wall of the assembly opening 21 is clamped between the two convex rings 112, the two sides of the inner flange are respectively in contact with the two convex rings 112, then a certain friction force is generated, so that the touch key body can be assembled in the assembly opening 21, thereby stabilizing the entire touch key body 11, thereby reducing the condition that the entire touch key 1 is prone to position deviation or falling off.

[0055] The touch key 1 of the electronic device in the foregoing embodiments adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore also has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0056] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
