[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The switch button assembly of this application includes a button panel 1 and a switch button main board 2, which are disposed within the housing 4 of a smart device. Specifically, the button panel 1 and the switch button main board 2 are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the bottom plate of the housing 4. The housing 4 includes a first side and a second side, which are fixedly connected and perpendicular to each other. The side of the button panel 1 parallel to the switch button main board 2 is fitted to the first side, and the other side of the button panel 1 perpendicular to the switch button main board 2 is detachably connected to the second side.

[0035] An elastic support is provided between the button panel 1 and the switch button main board 2; specifically, the elastic support is arranged parallel and correspondingly between the button panel 1 and the switch button main board 2.

[0036] The elastic support is fixedly connected to the button panel 1. The switch button main board 2 is used to apply pressure to the elastic support, so that the button panel 1 fits tightly against the inner wall of the housing 4. Specifically, the elastic support is located on the side of the button panel 1 near the bottom plate of the housing. The switch button main board 2 is installed by pushing it in from the bottom of the housing 4 upwards. During the upward pushing process, the switch button main board 2 contacts the elastic support and applies pressure to it, so that the button panel 1 fits tightly against the inner wall of the first side of the housing 4, preventing the button panel 1 from moving outwards. This prevents the switch button main board 2 from being blocked by the button panel 1 during the upward pushing process, making the assembly process time-consuming and laborious.

[0037] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The elastic support is a spring support plate 3, which includes a spring 31 and a support plate 32. There is at least one spring support plate 3, preferably two spring support plates 3, which are respectively set at both ends of the bottom plate side of the button panel 1 near the housing 4, so that the force is more balanced and uniform and the installation process is more stable.

[0038] One end of the spring 31 is fixedly connected to the button panel 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support plate 32. Specifically, the button panel 1 has a first mounting hole on the side near the bottom plate of the housing 4, and the support plate 32 has a corresponding second mounting hole. One end of the spring 31 is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second mounting hole. During the upward pushing process of the switch button main board 2, it first comes into contact with the support plate 32 and applies pressure to the support plate 32. The spring 31 is compressed, so that the button panel 1 connected to the spring 31 is subjected to pressure and makes tight contact with the inner wall of the first side, thereby allowing the switch button main board 2 to be pushed upward smoothly. This solves the problem that the switch button main board 2 is stuck by the button panel 1 during the upward installation process due to the outward movement of the button panel 1, making the assembly of the switch button assembly easier and more convenient.

[0039] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference].

A fixing bracket 12 is provided on the side of the fixing surface 11 near the housing 4. The fixing bracket 12 is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 4, which facilitates the fixing connection between the button panel 1 and the housing 4, so that the button panel 1 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 4.

[0040] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fixing plate 41 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 4 near the fixing frame 12, and a fixing post 42 is provided on the fixing plate 41. The fixing frame 12 is placed on the fixing plate 41 and is detachably connected to the fixing post 42, making it easy to disassemble and install the button panel 1.

[0041] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing frame 12 includes a connecting arm 121 and a connecting frame 122; specifically, the connecting arm 121 is arranged perpendicularly to the fixing surface 11 and is placed on the fixing plate 41.

[0042] One end of the connecting arm 121 is fixedly connected to the fixed surface 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 122; the connecting arm 121 and the connecting frame 122 are arranged parallel and adjacent to each other on the fixed plate 41. The button panel 1 can be fixed to the housing 4 to prevent the button panel 1 from moving, making assembly more convenient.

[0043] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting bracket 122 is sleeved on the fixed post 42 and is movably connected to the fixed post 42. Specifically, the connecting bracket 122 has a mounting groove on one side, which is nested on the fixed post 42. The outer diameter of the fixed post 42 is equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the mounting groove in the direction perpendicular to the connecting arm 121, so that the mounting groove and the fixed post 42 are more compatible, making it easier to disassemble and install, and more stable.

[0044] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preset distance is provided between the fixing post 42 and the inner wall of the housing 4.
