Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of touch screen button lighting technology, and in particular to a button lighting structure. Background Technology
[0002] A touchscreen is a sensory liquid crystal display device that accepts input signals from touch. When a graphic button on the touchscreen is touched, the haptic feedback system on the screen can drive various connected devices according to a pre-programmed program and create vivid audio-visual effects through the liquid crystal display. However, existing touchscreen button operations still have shortcomings. First, the current touchscreen button illumination method only illuminates the silkscreen area, leaving other areas unlit. During use, the edges of the buttons are not visible, requiring the user to align the button with the center of the silkscreen, resulting in low error tolerance. Second, there is a high requirement for the simplicity of the device structure to facilitate maintenance and improve the user experience. Therefore, designing a button illumination structure is essential. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighting structure for buttons to solve the problems of existing touchscreen button lighting methods, which only illuminate the silkscreen area and not other areas. During use, the edges of the buttons are not visible, and operation requires aligning with the center of the silkscreen, resulting in low error tolerance and high requirements for the simplicity of the device structure for easy maintenance, thereby improving the user experience.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a button illumination structure, including a transparent button, a sliding sleeve, a trigger, a sensor, and a processing board. The sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the transparent button, one end of the trigger is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, the other end of the trigger is in close contact with the sensor, and the sensor is fixedly connected to the processing board.
[0005] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a first limiting member is tightly attached to the sliding sleeve, and the first limiting member is fixedly connected to the button block.
[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the button block is fixedly connected to the body, and a processing board is fixedly connected to the body.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a second limiting block is fixedly connected to the body of the device, and the second limiting block is in close contact with the sensing element.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, an illumination LED is attached to the sensing element, and the illumination LED is fixedly connected to the processing board.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a touch screen is provided on the body, a button block is fixedly connected to the touch screen, and a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the button block.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the transparent button is provided with an operation mark.
[0011] This utility model provides a button lighting structure with the following advantages: By setting corresponding operation marks on transparent buttons and powering the LEDs through a processing board, the light shines through the transparent buttons. Users press the transparent button corresponding to the operation mark, causing the transparent button, sliding sleeve, and trigger to move. The movement of the trigger presses the sensor, generating a signal that, in conjunction with the processing board, responds to the user's operation. This transforms the touch area of the touchscreen into a transparent button of equal size, protruding from the touchscreen plane and illuminated by the underlying LEDs. Operation is simple; users only need to align the button with the corresponding operation mark, increasing the margin for error. Furthermore, the device has a simple structure, facilitating future maintenance and improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a button lighting structure, including a transparent button 1, a sliding sleeve 2, a trigger 3, a sensor 4, and a processing plate 5. The sliding sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the transparent button 1. One end of the trigger 3 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 2, and the other end of the trigger 3 is in close contact with the sensor 4. The sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the processing plate 5. A first limiting member 6 is in close contact with the sliding sleeve 2. The first limiting member 6 is fixedly connected to the button block 7. The button block 7 is fixedly connected to the body 8. The processing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the body 8. A second limiting block 9 is fixedly connected to the body 8. The second limiting block 9 is in close contact with the sensor 4. An illumination LED 10 is in close contact with the sensor 4. The illumination LED 10 is fixedly connected to the processing plate 5. A touch screen 11 is provided on the body 8. The touch screen 11 is fixedly connected to the button block 7. The sliding sleeve 2 is slidably connected to the button block 7 and is used to provide support. An operation mark 12 is provided on the transparent button 1 to indicate the button function.
[0020] Specifically, in use, firstly, corresponding operation marks 12 are set on the transparent button 1, and the processing board 5 powers the illumination LED 10 to emit light. The light shines through the transparent button 1 for illumination. According to specific needs, the user presses the transparent button 1 corresponding to the operation mark 12, causing the transparent button 1, the sliding sleeve 2, and the trigger 3 to move. The movement of the trigger 3 presses the sensing element 4, causing the sensing element 4 to generate a sensing signal and respond accordingly with the processing board 5, thus responding to the user's operation. This transforms the button touch area of the touch screen 11 into a transparent button 1 of equal size, which protrudes from the plane of the touch screen 11 and is illuminated by the illumination LED 10 underneath. During operation, users only need to align the transparent button 1 with the corresponding operation mark 12, increasing the user's operational error tolerance. Secondly, the structure of this device is relatively simple, making it easy for users to maintain and repair in the future, thus improving the user experience.
