[0020] As a further preferred embodiment, the reset mechanism is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pin, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the mounting block.

[0021] In this solution, the torsion spring provides a constant and directional reset torque, ensuring that the button can accurately and quickly return to its initial position when unlocked; the torsion spring has a mature structure, good fatigue resistance, and long service life.

[0022] Preferably, the housing is provided with a fixing groove, and a damper is disposed in the fixing groove.

[0023] In this design, the damper makes the button rotation smoother and more stable, reduces the impact force when the torsion spring and the button itself return to their original position, helps protect related parts, and improves the overall durability of the mechanism; slowing down the movement helps avoid slight vibrations or secondary contact that may be caused by rapid rebound.

[0024] As a further preferred embodiment, the damper is provided with a first tooth, and the button is provided with a second tooth on one side, the first tooth and the second tooth meshing together.

[0025] In this solution, the gear meshing method directly and without slippage transmits the rotation angle and speed of the button to the damper rotor, resulting in an immediate and linear damping effect. By designing the tooth size and the internal damping coefficient of the damper, the rotation speed of the button can be precisely controlled.

[0026] Preferably, a protruding knob is provided on one side of the button, which makes it convenient for the user to press the button.

[0027] In this design, the protruding knob makes it easier for fingers to access and apply force, especially suitable for operation while wearing gloves or in confined spaces; the protruding knob serves as a visual and tactile marker, allowing users to quickly locate the operating position.
