Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronics, in particular to an electronic device with anti-impact keys. BACKGROUND
[0002] Current electronic devices usually contain keys exposed outside the shell. One side of the key is exposed and protrudes from the surface of the shell, and the other side of the key is connected to electronic components such as a circuit board. When the key is triggered by a certain pressure, the circuit board can be controlled to open or close or signals can be transmitted to the circuit board.
[0003] However, when the electronic device is impacted, the exposed key is easily subjected to a large impact force, which is also transmitted to the components in contact with the key, causing damage to the key itself and the components. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides an electronic device with anti-impact keys. By providing a buffer at one end of the first key protruding from the shell wall, part of the external impact force is offset, thereby reducing the damage of the impact force to the first key and the components in contact with the first key.
[0005] The present application provides an electronic device with anti-impact keys, comprising: a shell having a containing space, a through hole is formed on a first wall of the shell; a first key is arranged through the through hole and protrudes from the first wall; a buffer is arranged at one end of the first key along the pressing direction of the first key.
[0006] In the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, since the first key is arranged through the through hole of the first wall and protrudes from the first wall, and the buffer is arranged at one end of the first key, when the electronic device falls, collides or the like, the first key may be impacted before the shell wall, the impact force drives the first key to move along the pressing direction of the first key, at the same time, the impact force is partially offset by being transmitted to the buffer, which helps to reduce the impact on the first key itself, the components in direct or indirect contact with the first key, and the shell wall, and also helps to reduce the probability of false touch caused by the impact force; and the user only needs to press the first key exposed outside the through hole to trigger, which is simple and convenient to use. In addition, the buffer helps to reset the first key.
[0007] In some embodiments, the electronic device with anti-impact keys further comprises a second key, the first key, the buffer and the second key are sequentially arranged along the pressing direction of the first key; wherein the pressing force is transmitted to the second key through the buffer to trigger the second key.
[0008] Therefore, the impact force applied to the first button can be partially offset by the buffer, and the impact force transmitted from the second button to the electronic element is weakened, which helps to reduce the damage of the impact force to the second button, makes the second button difficult to be triggered, and helps to reduce the probability of accidental touch caused by the impact force.
[0009] In some embodiments, the electronic device with the anti-impact button further comprises an electronic element and an electric core, the second button is arranged on the electronic element to control the opening and closing of the electronic element or to deliver a signal to the electronic element, and the electric core is electrically connected to the electronic element.
[0010] Therefore, the impact force from the outside is partially offset by the buffer, and the impact transmitted from the second button to the electronic element is reduced, which helps to reduce the risk of damage to the electronic element by the impact. The electric core can at least provide power to the electronic element.
[0011] In some embodiments, when the second button is triggered, the first button is configured to be received into the accommodation space from the through hole under the action of the pressing force, so that the surface of the first button does not exceed the outer surface of the first wall.
[0012] Therefore, the user needs to press the first button into the accommodation space to trigger the second button. When subjected to the impact force, the first button can be pressed to be flush with the first wall and is not easy to be further inserted below the outer surface of the first wall, which can prevent the second button from being triggered and reduce the probability of accidental touch. In addition, the impact force can be dispersed by the shell wall surface after the first button is received into the accommodation space, so as to avoid damage to the internal electronic element by the impact force through the button.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first button comprises a pressing portion and a limiting portion, the pressing portion is accommodated in the through hole and can slide relative to the through hole, and the limiting portion is located in the accommodation space; in the same projection plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first button, the projection of the limiting portion partially overlaps with the projection of the first wall.
[0014] Therefore, the limiting portion can limit the movement range of the pressing portion, and the pressing portion can move to a position where the limiting portion contacts the first wall in a direction away from the accommodation space, so that the pressing portion does not separate from the through hole.
[0015] In some embodiments, the first button further comprises an abutting portion, one end of the abutting portion is connected to the pressing portion or the limiting portion, and the other end of the abutting portion abuts against the buffer.
[0016] Thus, the buffer is pressed against the limiting portion by the abutting portion to the first wall, so that the first key is not prone to shaking, and the impact force applied by the external environment to the pressing portion can be transmitted to the buffer through the abutting portion, reducing the impact transmitted to each component in direct or indirect contact with the first key, such as the second key and the electronic element, thereby helping to reduce the risk of damage to each component in direct or indirect contact with the first key by external impact.
[0017] In some embodiments, the buffer comprises a pot piece, one side of the pot piece is connected to the electronic element, and the other side of the pot piece is provided with a limiting groove, and the abutting portion is partially accommodated in the limiting groove.
[0018] Thus, the pot piece can provide stable rebound force and provide high-quality tactile feedback. The abutting portion is limited by the groove wall of the limiting groove, so that the abutting portion can face the pot piece directly, reducing the probability of deviation of the abutting portion relative to the pot piece.
[0019] In some embodiments, an elastic reset member is arranged between the first key and the inner wall surface of the shell, so that the first key is kept in the state of being exposed from the through hole.
[0020] Thus, the elastic reset member can reset the limiting portion extending into the accommodation space, and help to absorb part of the impact force applied to the pressing portion.
[0021] In some embodiments, the electronic device with the anti-impact key further comprises a protective sleeve arranged around the first key and connected to the inner wall surface of the first wall, for closing the through hole.
[0022] Thus, the protective sleeve is fixed to the first wall and closes the first through hole, so that foreign matters such as external dust and liquid are not easy to enter the accommodation space from the through hole, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the electronic device.
[0023] In some embodiments, a socket is arranged on the shell, and the socket can be electrically connected to the electronic element.
[0024] Thus, the electronic device can realize at least one of charging, discharging, and external connection of other electronic devices through the socket, and can be applied to more application scenarios.

[0042] The present application will be described in detail below.
[0043] Current electronic devices often include keys exposed outside the shell. One side of the key is exposed and protrudes from the surface of the shell, and the other side of the key is connected to electronic components such as a circuit board. After the key is triggered by a certain pressure, the circuit board can be controlled to open or close or signals can be transmitted to the circuit board.
[0044] However, when the electronic device is impacted, the exposed key is easily subjected to a large impact force, which is also transmitted to the components in contact with the key, causing damage to the key itself and the components.
[0045] The inventor of the present application found that a buffer can be provided at one end of the first key, and the first key protrudes from the shell wall. When subjected to external pressure, especially when the external pressure comes from an instantaneous increase or decrease in impact, the first key is more likely to be impacted first, and the buffer can absorb part of the impact, preventing the impact from being directly transmitted to the shell wall and components in direct or indirect contact with the first key, thereby reducing damage to the electronic device caused by the impact.
[0046] Based on this design concept, the present application provides an electronic device with an anti-impact key, which includes a shell having a receiving space, a through hole is formed in a first wall of the shell; a first key is arranged through the through hole and protrudes from the first wall; and a buffer is arranged at one end of the first key along the pressing direction of the first key.
[0047] Since the first key is arranged through the through hole of the first wall and protrudes from the first wall, and the first key has a buffer at one end, when the electronic device is dropped, collided, or the like, the first key can be impacted before the shell wall, and the impact force drives the first key to move along its pressing direction while being partially offset by the buffer, which helps to reduce the impact on the first key itself, components in direct or indirect contact with the first key, and the shell wall, and also helps to reduce the probability of accidental touch caused by the impact force; and the user only needs to press the first key exposed outside the through hole to trigger it, which is simple and convenient to use. In addition, the buffer helps to reset the first key.
[0048] The present application will be described in detail below.
[0049] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the electronic device with an anti-impact key provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure; Figure 2 The Figure 1 The sectional view along the A-A direction is shown in the figure; Figure 3 The exploded view of the electronic device with an anti-impact key provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure; Figure 4 The Figure 3a local enlarged view of part B of figure 1; Figure 5 A perspective view of an electronic device with an anti-impact key is provided for an embodiment of the present application.
[0050] The present application provides an electronic device with an anti-impact key, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 The electronic device with an anti-impact key includes a housing 10 having a receiving space, a first wall 101 of the housing 10 having a through hole 102, a first key 11 penetrating the through hole 102 and protruding from the first wall 101, and a buffer 13 arranged at one end of the first key 11 along a pressing direction X of the first key.
[0051] The electronic device with an anti-impact key includes a housing 10, a first key 11, and a buffer 13. The first key 11 protrudes from the surface of the housing 10 and penetrates the wall surface of the housing 10, so that the first key 11 can move relative to the housing 10. The buffer 13 can be arranged at either end of the first key 11, and the buffer 13 can be arranged inside the receiving space of the housing 10 or outside the housing 10. The pressure applied to the first key 11 from the outside can be partially absorbed and offset by the buffer 13.
[0052] The housing 10 has a receiving space. The housing 10 includes a first wall 101 having a through hole 102 penetrating the wall surface. The first key 11 penetrates the through hole 102 and can slide along the extension direction of the through hole 102, and the extension direction of the through hole 102 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first wall 101. The extension direction of the through hole 102 can be regarded as the pressing direction X of the first key. In the absence of external force, part of the first key 11 is exposed to the outside from the through hole 102, i.e., the first key 11 protrudes from the outer surface of the first wall 101.
[0053] Herein, the side surface of the first wall 101 facing the receiving space is regarded as the inner wall surface of the first wall 101, and the side surface of the first wall 101 away from the receiving space is regarded as the outer surface of the first wall 101.
[0054] Exemplarily, the buffer 13 includes but is not limited to a spring, a pot piece, and a rubber block.
[0055] The through hole 102 can be one or more, and the first key 11 and the buffer 13 are arranged corresponding to the through hole 102. The plurality of through holes 102 can be arranged on the first wall 101, or can be partially and dispersedly arranged on any wall surface of the housing 10 except the first wall 101. The electronic device with an anti-impact key can be a power bank, a remote controller, a toy, a camera, etc.
[0056] The buffer 13 can be positioned at the end of the first button 11 facing the receiving space. In use, if the first button 11 is subjected to a momentary impact, such as from a collision or drop, the first button 11 retracts into the receiving space and presses against the buffer 13, causing the buffer 13 to deform and offset part of the impact force. The user can press the first button 11 to provide a stable pressing force, ensuring the pressing force is continuously transmitted to the triggered position to achieve triggering.
[0057] Among them, pressing force refers to a stable and continuous force. After being absorbed by the buffer 13, the pressing force can still be transmitted, triggering the first button 11 itself or the parts in contact with the first button 11. Impact force refers to a force that increases or decreases instantaneously. Most of the impact force is absorbed by the buffer 13, while having a relatively small impact on other parts that are directly or indirectly in contact with the first button 11.
[0058] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, since the first button 11 passes through the through hole 102 of the first wall 101 and protrudes from the first wall 101, and a buffer member 13 is provided at one end of the first button 11, when the electronic device is dropped or collided, the first button 11 may be impacted before the housing wall. This impact force drives the first button 11 to move along its own pressing direction, and is transmitted to the buffer member 13 and partially offset. This helps to reduce the impact on the first button 11 itself, the components that directly or indirectly contact the first button 11, and the housing wall, and also helps to reduce the probability of accidental touch caused by the impact force. Moreover, the user only needs to press the first button 11 exposed outside the through hole to trigger the device, which is simple and convenient to use. In addition, the buffer member 13 helps to reset the first button 11.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the electronic device with the shockproof button also includes a second button 12. Along the pressing direction X of the first button, the first button 11, the buffer 13, and the second button 12 are arranged in sequence; wherein, the pressing force is transmitted to the second button 12 through the buffer 13 to trigger the second button 12.
[0060] The electronic device with the shockproof button also includes a second button 12. The second button 12 is located within the receiving space and can automatically return to its original position after being pressed. Along the pressing direction X of the first button, the first button 11, the buffer 13, and the second button 12 are arranged in sequence. The first button 11 can move towards or away from the second button 12, and the pressing force is transmitted to the second button 12 through the buffer 13 to trigger the second button 12.
[0061] Thus, the impact force applied to the first button 11 can be partially offset by the buffer 13, and the impact force transmitted from the buffer 13 to the second button 12 is weakened, which helps to weaken the damage of the impact force to the second button 12, so that the second button 12 is difficult to be triggered, and the probability of false touch caused by the impact force is reduced.
[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The electronic device with the anti-impact button further includes an electronic element 14 and a battery 15. The second button 12 is arranged on the electronic element 14 to control the opening and closing of the electronic element 14 or to deliver a signal to the electronic element 14. The battery 15 is electrically connected to the electronic element 14.
[0063] The electronic device with the anti-impact button further includes an electronic element 14 and a battery 15. The second button 12 is arranged on the electronic element 14 to control the opening and closing of the electronic element 14 or to deliver a signal to the electronic element 14. The battery 15 is electrically connected to the electronic element 14.
[0064] The battery 15 is located in the accommodation space and is used to store and provide electric energy. The battery 15 can be a secondary battery, which refers to a battery that can be activated by charging after the battery cell is discharged.
[0065] Exemplarily, the electronic device with the anti-impact button is a remote controller. The battery 15 is located in the accommodation space and is electrically connected to the electronic element 14. The through holes 102 can be regularly arranged in a matrix on the first wall 101. The first button 11, the second button 12, and the buffer 13 are arranged corresponding to each through hole 102, and a plurality of second buttons 12 can be arranged on the same electronic element 14.
[0066] The electronic device with the anti-impact button shown in Figures 3 to 5 The electronic device with the anti-impact button shown in the application is a power bank. The battery 15 is located in the accommodation space and is electrically connected to the electronic element 14. The shell 10 is provided with a socket 16. The through hole 102 is arranged on the first wall 101, and the second button 12 triggers the circuit to be connected or disconnected.
[0067] Thus, the impact force from the outside is partially offset by the buffer 13, and the impact transmitted from the second button 12 to the electronic element 14 is reduced, which helps to reduce the risk of damage to the electronic element 14 by the impact. The battery 15 can at least provide electric energy to the electronic element 14.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the second button 12 is triggered, the first button 11 is configured to be received into the accommodation space from the through hole 102 under the pressing force, so that the surface of the first button 11 does not exceed the outer surface of the first wall 101.
[0069] When the first button 11 is pressed, the first button 11 triggers the second button 12 through the buffer 13, and the surface of the first button 11 is not higher than the outer surface of the first wall 101.
[0070] In actual use, the user needs to press the first button 11 until the first button 11 is pressed into the accommodating space, so that the first button 11 is moved to a position not higher than the surface of the first wall 101 to trigger the second button 12. In the case of falling or external object hitting the electronic device, the first button 11 protruding from the first wall 101 will be subjected to a greater impact force, part of the impact force is absorbed and offset by the buffer 13, so that the force transmitted to the second button 12 is smaller, and the second button 12 is not easy to be triggered.
[0071] If the impact force applied to the side of the first wall 101 is large, the first button 11 may be pressed into a longer distance and even mistakenly trigger the second button 12. In order to further reduce the probability of mistaken triggering, the second button 12 is triggered only when the first button 11 is not higher than the outer surface of the first wall 101. The first button 11 is pressed into the through hole 102 until the surface of the first button 11 is flush with the outer surface of the first wall 101, and the impact force is shared by the first wall 101.
[0072] Therefore, the user needs to press the first button 11 into the accommodating space to trigger the second button 12. When subjected to an impact force, the first button 11 may be pressed to be flush with the outer surface of the first wall 101 and not easy to be further pressed to a position below the outer surface of the first wall 101, so that the second button 12 is not triggered, thereby reducing the probability of mistaken triggering; and the impact force is dispersed by the wall of the shell 10 after the first button 11 is pressed into the accommodating space, avoiding damage to the internal electronic elements 14 through the button.
[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The first button 11 includes a pressing portion 111 and a limiting portion 112. The pressing portion 111 is accommodated in the through hole 102 and can slide relative to the through hole 102, and the limiting portion 112 is located in the accommodating space. In the same projection plane perpendicular to the pressing direction X of the first button, the projection of the limiting portion 112 partially overlaps with the projection of the first wall 101.
[0074] The first button 11 comprises a pressing portion 111 and a limiting portion 112, and the pressing portion 111 and the limiting portion 112 are connected. The pressing portion 111 penetrates the through hole 102, and in the state without external force, the pressing portion 111 is exposed from the through hole 102 and protrudes from the outer surface of the first wall 101 in the direction away from the accommodating space. The side of the pressing portion 111 close to the accommodating space is connected with the limiting portion 112. In the same projection plane perpendicular to the pressing direction X of the first button, the projection of the limiting portion 112 partially coincides with the projection of the first wall 101. Wherein, the pressing direction X of the first button is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first wall 101.
[0075] Specifically, the side of the pressing portion 111 away from the accommodating space has a force-receiving surface, and the user can press the surface. The limiting portion 112 is arranged on the side of the pressing portion 111 close to the accommodating space, and after the pressing portion 111 moves a distance in the direction away from the accommodating space, the limiting portion 112 contacts the inner wall surface of the first wall 101 and limits the movement of the pressing portion 111, so as to avoid the pressing portion 111 from being separated from the through hole 102. The limiting portion 112 can be formed by turning the side of the pressing portion 111 close to the accommodating space.
[0076] Therefore, the limiting portion 112 can limit the movement range of the pressing portion 111, and the pressing portion 111 can move to the position where the limiting portion 112 contacts the first wall 101 in the direction away from the accommodating space, so that the pressing portion 111 does not separate from the through hole 102.
[0077] In some embodiments, the distance between the end of the pressing portion 111 away from the accommodating space and the plane where the outer surface of the first wall 101 is located can be 0.2 mm.
[0078] Therefore, a more reasonable protruding height of the pressing portion 111 is provided, so that the user has a better hand feeling when using.
[0079] The buffer 13 can be connected or abutted with the pressing portion 111, or the buffer 13 can be connected or abutted with the limiting portion 112, or the abutting portion 113 can be arranged on the pressing portion 111 or the limiting portion 112, and the buffer 13 is connected or abutted with the abutting portion 113.
[0080] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 4 The first button 11 further comprises the abutting portion 113, one end of the abutting portion 113 is connected with the pressing portion 111 or the limiting portion 112, and the other end of the abutting portion 113 is abutted with the buffer 13.
[0081] The first button 11 further comprises an abutting portion 113. The abutting portion 113 protrudes towards the accommodating space relative to the pressing portion 111 and the limiting portion 112, and the extending direction of the abutting portion 113 is parallel to the pressing direction X of the first button. One end of the abutting portion 113 is connected to the pressing portion 111 or the limiting portion 112, and the other end of the abutting portion 113 is opposite to the center of the buffer 13 and abuts or is connected to the buffer 13.
[0082] The abutting portion 113 can be columnar, conical or the like, and the specific shape of the abutting portion 113 is not specially limited in the present application.
[0083] Therefore, the buffer 13 presses the limiting portion 112 against the first wall 101 through the abutting portion 113, so that the first button 11 is not prone to shaking; and the impact force applied by the external environment on the pressing portion 111 can be transmitted to the buffer 13 through the abutting portion 113, reducing the impact transmitted to the components in direct or indirect contact with the first button 11, such as the second button 12 and the electronic element 14, and helping to reduce the risk of damage to the components in direct or indirect contact with the first button 11 due to external impact.
[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The buffer 13 comprises a pot piece; one side of the pot piece is connected to the electronic element 14, and the other side of the pot piece is provided with a limiting groove 131, and the abutting portion 113 is partially accommodated in the limiting groove 131.
[0085] The pot piece can be any one of a circular pot piece, a cross-shaped pot piece, a triangular pot piece and an elliptical pot piece.
[0086] The pot piece is in the form of a cover covering the electronic element 14, and the pot piece is connected to the electronic element 14. The surface of the pot piece facing the first wall 101 is provided with a limiting groove 131, and part of the abutting portion 113 is accommodated in the limiting groove 131. The groove wall of the limiting groove 131 is in close contact with the abutting portion 113.
[0087] Therefore, the pot piece can provide stable rebound force and provide high-quality tactile feedback. The abutting portion 113 is limited by the groove wall of the limiting groove 131, so that the abutting portion 113 can be opposite to the pot piece, reducing the probability of deviation of the abutting portion 113 relative to the pot piece.
[0088] In some embodiments, a resilient reset member (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the first button 11 and the inner wall surface of the shell 10, so that the first button 11 is kept in the state of exposing from the through hole 102.
[0089] The first button 11 can be automatically reset by the resilient reset member. For example, the resilient reset member is a spring.
[0090] The elastic reset member can be arranged between the first key 11 and the inner wall surface of the first wall 101. Specifically, the elastic reset member is arranged between the limiting portion 112 and the inner wall surface of the first wall 101, and the elastic reset member is stretched after the first key 11 is pressed, and returns to the original state and drives the first key 11 to reset after the external force is removed.
[0091] The elastic reset member can also be arranged between the first key 11 and the second wall. Specifically, the elastic reset member is arranged between the limiting portion 112 and the inner wall surface of the second wall, and the elastic reset member is compressed after the first key 11 is pressed, and returns to the original state and drives the first key 11 to reset after the external force is removed. Wherein, along the pressing direction X of the first key, the second wall and the first wall 101 are opposite to each other.
[0092] Therefore, the elastic reset member can reset the limiting portion 112 extending into the accommodating space; and help to absorb part of the impact force applied to the pressing portion 111.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first key 11 and the electronic element 14 are provided with an elastic reset member. Specifically, the elastic reset member is arranged between the limiting portion 112 and the electronic element 14, and the elastic reset member is compressed after the first key 11 is pressed, and returns to the original state and drives the first key 11 to reset after the external force is removed.
[0094] In some embodiments, the electronic device with the anti-impact key further comprises a protective sleeve (not shown in the figure), which is arranged around the first key 11 and connected to the inner wall surface of the first wall 101, and is used to close the through hole 102.
[0095] The protective sleeve surrounds the periphery of the first key 11 and extends to the periphery, and the protective sleeve can be connected to the wall surface of the through hole 102 or the inner wall surface of the first wall 101. The first key 11 is interference-fitted in the protective sleeve, and the protective sleeve can close the gap between the first key 11 and the through hole 102. The protective sleeve is made of flexible material, and deforms when the first key 11 is pressed and moves.
[0096] Therefore, the protective sleeve is fixed to the first wall 101 and closes the first through hole 102, so that foreign matters such as external dust and liquid are not easy to enter the accommodating space from the through hole 102, which helps to improve the reliability of the electronic device.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The shell 10 is provided with a socket 16, and the socket 16 can be electrically connected with the electronic element 14.
[0098] The socket 16 can be arranged on any wall of the shell 10, such as the first wall 101, the second wall opposite to the first wall 101, and the third wall adjacent to the first wall 101. The socket 16 can be electrically connected to the electronic element 14 through the battery cell 15.
[0099] The socket 16 can be arranged in multiple, which can adopt the same interface or different interfaces. The interface can be a USB interface, such as a type-A interface, a type-B interface, and a type-C interface.
[0100] Therefore, the electronic device can achieve at least one of charging, discharging, and externally connecting other electronic devices through the socket 16, and can be applied to more application scenarios.
[0101] The electronic device with an anti-impact key of the present application, when the first key 11 is pressed or impacted, will first pass through the hardware wave piece (buffer 13) and then reach the electronic switch key (second key 12). The hardware wave piece will deform in this process to absorb a certain impact force, thereby protecting the electronic switch key. The first key 11 is 0.2mm higher than the outer surface of the first wall 101, so that the user can press the key more comfortably.
