Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone button technology, specifically a mobile phone side button structure. Background Technology

[0002] Side buttons on a mobile phone are physical buttons located on the side of the phone. They are mainly used for quick operation and function control, and are the main buttons for turning the phone on and off and locking the screen.

[0003] In practical applications, most mobile phone side buttons on the market are integrated structures, which usually require removing the back cover to install or remove the side buttons. This operation is cumbersome and complicated, and it is difficult to meet the personalized needs of users. Therefore, we propose a mobile phone side button structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile phone side button structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mobile phone side button structure, including a split side button, the split side button including a button base, an assembly groove, a connecting seat, an adhesive layer, release paper and a keycap, the top of the button base is provided with an assembly groove, the inner side of the assembly groove is embedded with a connecting seat, the bottom surface of the connecting seat is attached with an adhesive layer, the bottom surface of the adhesive layer is covered with release paper, after the release paper is peeled off, the connecting seat can be glued and fixed to the bottom surface of the assembly groove through the adhesive layer, the top of the connecting seat is glued with a keycap, the keycap is pressed and adhered to the top of the button base.

[0006] Preferably, the adhesive layer is made of residue-free tape.

[0007] Preferably, the keycaps are made of silicone, plastic, or metal.

[0008] Preferably, the keycaps and the top of the key base have the same shape and the same area.

[0009] Preferably, the keycap has symmetrical pry grooves on both sides.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This invention features a split-type side key. When installing a new keycap, first peel off the release paper to expose the adhesive layer, then insert the connector into the assembly slot, and press the keycap firmly against the top of the key base. The connector is then glued to the bottom of the assembly slot using the adhesive layer, thus completing the assembly of the keycap and the key base. Users can choose to install different keycaps according to their appearance, color, feel, and other preferences. The replacement operation is simple, better meeting users' personalized needs.

[0016] In the diagram: Split side button-1, button base-11, assembly slot-12, connector-13, adhesive layer-14, release paper-15, keycap-16, pry groove-16a. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a mobile phone side button structure, including a split side button 1. The split side button 1 includes a button base 11, an assembly groove 12, a connecting seat 13, an adhesive layer 14, a release paper 15, and a keycap 16. The top of the button base 11 has an assembly groove 12, and the connecting seat 13 is embedded in the inner side of the assembly groove 12. The bottom surface of the connecting seat 13 is attached with an adhesive layer 14, and the bottom surface of the adhesive layer 14 is covered with a release paper 15. After the release paper 15 is peeled off, the connecting seat 13 can be glued and fixed to the bottom surface of the assembly groove 12 through the adhesive layer 14. The top of the connecting seat 13 is glued with a keycap 16, and the keycap 16 is pressed and attached to the top of the button base 11.

[0019] In this invention, the adhesive layer 14 uses traceless tape to avoid leaving adhesive residue on the inside of the assembly groove 12 when the adhesive layer 14 is disassembled, and will not affect the repeated disassembly and replacement of the key base 11 and the keycap 16.

[0020] The keycaps 16 are made of silicone, plastic, or metal, allowing users to choose different materials for the keycaps 16 based on their tactile feel, thus enhancing personalization. The keycaps 16 and key base 11 have the same top shape and size, enabling the keycaps 16 to fit snugly into the key base 11 and maintain an overall aesthetic appearance.

[0021] The keycap 16 has symmetrical pry grooves 16a on both sides, which can be used to separate the keycap 16 from the key base 11 for easier disassembly.

[0022] The working principle is as follows:

[0023] When it is necessary to replace keycap 16, first use a pry tool with pry slot 16a to pry out keycap 16, so that connector 13 is separated from the inside of assembly slot 12, thereby completing the disassembly of keycap 16 and key base 11.

[0024] When installing a new keycap 16, first peel off the release paper 15 to expose the adhesive layer 14. Then, insert the connector 13 into the inner side of the assembly slot 12 and press the keycap 16 firmly against the top of the key base 11. The connector 13 is then glued to the bottom of the assembly slot 12 through the adhesive layer 14, thus completing the assembly of the keycap 16 and the key base 11. Users can choose to install different keycaps 16 according to their appearance, color, feel, and other requirements. The replacement operation is simple and can better meet the personalized needs of users.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
