Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch button technology, specifically to a micro switch structure with tactile feedback to prevent accidental touches. Background Technology

[0002] A watch is a timekeeping instrument worn on the wrist to display time (as well as date, timing, etc.); adjusting the display is usually done by pulling out the crown and rotating or pressing the buttons to adjust the time or functions.

[0003] Modern watches often use metal push-button contacts for power adjustment. These metal contacts are prone to deformation over time. When deformed, the contact position and pressure between the metal contact and the circuit board change, making it difficult to maintain stable contact and leading to poor contact. In addition, metal contacts are usually thin and light, making them sensitive to pressure. Even slight vibrations, impacts, or improper handling in daily life can cause the metal contact to shift and come into contact with the circuit board, resulting in accidental activation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a micro switch structure with tactile feedback to prevent accidental touch, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A microswitch structure with tactile feedback to prevent accidental touches includes:

[0013] Preferably, a first deformation plate is provided above the contact block of the first micro switch. The first deformation plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the mechanism cover.

[0014] Preferably, a second deformation plate is provided above the contact block of the second micro switch. The second deformation plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the mechanism cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A microswitch structure with tactile feedback to prevent accidental touches includes:

[0031] The movement assembly 1 includes a quartz movement 9, which is fixedly connected in the movement mounting slot 401. A stem 901 is mounted on the quartz movement 9 and is rotatably connected to the internal structure of the quartz movement 9. The movement mounting slot 401 is located at the center of the movement fixing box 4, and conductive adhesive strips 10 are installed on both sides of the movement fixing box 4.

[0032] The movement cover 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the movement fixing box 4. An LCD 12 is fixedly connected inside the movement cover 3 for displaying watch information.

[0033] The rear cover 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movement fixing box 4. A battery 8 is installed inside the rear cover 2. A PCB board 5 is provided between the rear cover 2 and the movement fixing box 4 for connecting the circuits and control circuits between the components to realize the corresponding functions.

[0034] A first switch assembly 6 and a second switch assembly 7 are provided between the movement cover 3 and the movement fixing box 4, for connecting the circuit to adjust the watch information.

[0035] Specifically, the conductive adhesive strips 10 on both sides of the mechanism fixing box 4 play a role in assisting conductivity and ensuring stable circuit connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust watch information (such as adjusting the time, day of the week, switching display modes, etc.), the user presses the button on the watch with their finger. The position of the button corresponds to the position of the first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 on the movement cover 3. The thickness of the first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 is about 0.1 mm. While ensuring that they are flexible enough to deform with the button being pressed down, they also have a certain degree of rigidity to prevent accidental activation due to the user's daily activities. The lower parts of the first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 correspond to the installation positions of the first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702, respectively. The first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702 are fixed in the first switch mounting part 402 and the second switch mounting part 403, respectively. The first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 deform under force. The button is pressed down, causing the contact block 603 and internal pressure rod at the top of the first micro switch 602 to move. The contact block 603 and the pressure rod are directly connected by a spring. The user needs to apply enough force to the button to lower it to a sufficient depth and overcome the spring stress to move the pressure rod. At this time, the originally open contacts inside the micro switch close, thereby connecting the circuit inside the mechanism assembly 1. The current is conducted through the lines on the PCB board 5, triggering the corresponding circuit to work and realize the corresponding function. After the user releases the button, the micro switch pressure rod rebounds and the contacts open, completing one adjustment process. In daily life, the micro switch contact block 603, in conjunction with the deformation plate, can effectively avoid accidental touches caused by slight collisions or shaking during daily activities. Moreover, the internal structure of the micro switch is relatively stable, the action of contact closure and opening is relatively reliable, the installation is stable, and it is not easy to have poor contact.

[0037] Specifically, the watch uses a first microswitch 602 and a second microswitch 702. These microswitches employ a special spring structure and triggering mechanism. When the user presses the watch button, the initial tension of the spring must be overcome to displace the lever. The resistance of the spring inside the microswitch is clearly transmitted to the user's fingertip through the button, creating a distinct "pressing resistance sensation." When the lever's trigger contact closes, the spring tension is suddenly released, producing a noticeable "click" tactile and auditory feedback. This dual tactile and auditory feedback allows the user to intuitively perceive that the operation has been successfully executed. When the user releases the button, the spring quickly returns to its original shape, pushing the lever back to its original position. The reset process is also accompanied by a stable and consistent change in resistance, allowing the user to experience clear "rebound feedback," enhancing the realism of the watch's adjustment operation and making the user's control experience more authentic.

[0038] Specifically, the switch assembly includes a first micro switch 602 and a second micro switch 702, which are respectively fixedly connected to the first switch mounting part 402 and the second switch mounting part 403 on the movement fixing box 4.

[0039] Specifically, a contact block 603 is fixedly connected to the top of both the first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702. The contact block 603 is connected to the top of the internal pressure rod of the first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702 by a spring.

[0040] Specifically, a first deformation plate 601 is provided above the contact block 603 of the first micro switch 602. The first deformation plate 601 is fixedly connected to the edge of the mechanism cover 3. When the first deformation plate 601 is subjected to force and deforms, it causes the contact block 603 of the first micro switch 602 to move and connect with the pressure rod inside the micro switch to make contact.

[0041] Specifically, a second deformation plate 701 is provided above the contact block 603 of the second micro switch 702. The second deformation plate 701 is fixedly connected to the edge of the mechanism cover 3. When the second deformation plate 701 is subjected to force and deforms, it causes the contact block 603 of the second micro switch 702 to move and connect with the pressure rod inside the micro switch to make contact.

[0042] In this embodiment, the movement assembly 1 is fixed by the rear rubber cover 2 and the movement cover plate 3. A first retaining plate 301 and a second retaining plate 302 are fixedly connected to the movement cover plate 3. Both the first retaining plate 301 and the second retaining plate 302 are bent downwards at a 90-degree angle. The rear rubber cover is provided with a first buckle 201 and a second buckle 202. The buckles and retaining plates cooperate to fix the internal PCB board 5, LCD 12, and movement fixing box 4, and press the quartz movement 9 firmly into the movement mounting slot 401 in the center of the movement fixing box 4. The user needs to disassemble the movement. When performing internal maintenance on the core assembly 1, the movement assembly 1 can be opened by touching the fixing between the latch and the plate with your fingers. The width of the second latch 202 and the second plate 302 is longer than that of the first latch 201 and the first plate 301. The stem 901 of the quartz movement 9 passes through the second plate 302. When disassembling, it is necessary to first release the fixing of the first latch 201 and the second plate 302, and then remove the movement cover 3 from the front end of the stem 901 to fully open the movement assembly 1 and expose the internal structure for easy maintenance.

[0043] Specifically, a first retaining plate 301 and a second retaining plate 302 are fixedly connected to the movement cover 3; a first buckle 201 and a second buckle 202 are fixedly connected to the edge of the rear rubber cover 2.

[0044] Specifically, the first card plate 301 and the second buckle 202 are used to connect the rear rubber cover 2 and the movement cover 3.

[0045] Specifically, the positions of the second locking plate 302 and the second buckle 202 correspond to the position of the stem 901 of the quartz movement 9, and the second locking plate 302 and the second buckle 202 are used to connect the rear rubber cover 2 and the movement cover 3.

[0046] Specifically, a light guide plate 11 is installed between the LCD12 and the mechanism fixing box 4.

[0047] Specifically, after the LCD12 receives power and signals from the circuit connection, it displays watch information such as time and date.

[0048] Specifically, the light guide plate 11 is used to assist in optimizing the display effect of the LCD 12.

[0049] In use, the movement assembly 1 is fixed by the rear rubber cover 2 and the movement cover plate 3. A first retaining plate 301 and a second retaining plate 302 are fixedly connected to the movement cover plate 3. Both the first retaining plate 301 and the second retaining plate 302 are bent downwards at a 90-degree angle. The rear rubber cover 2 is provided with a first buckle 201 and a second buckle 202. The buckles and retaining plates cooperate to fix the internal PCB board 5, LCD 12, and movement fixing box 4, etc., and press the quartz movement 9 tightly into the movement mounting groove 401 in the center of the movement fixing box 4. The user needs... When disassembling the movement assembly 1 for internal maintenance, the movement assembly 1 can be opened by touching the fixing between the plate and the buckle with your fingers. The width of the second buckle 202 and the second plate 302 is longer than that of the first buckle 201 and the first plate 301. The stem 901 of the quartz movement 9 passes through the second plate 302. When disassembling, it is necessary to first release the fixing of the first buckle 201 and the second plate 302, and then remove the movement cover 3 from the front end of the stem 901 to fully open the movement assembly 1 and expose the internal structure for easy maintenance.

[0050] When adjusting watch information (such as time, day of the week, switching display modes, etc.), the user presses a button on the watch with their finger. The button's position corresponds to the positions of the first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 on the movement cover 3. The first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 are approximately 0.1 mm thick, ensuring both flexibility to deform with the button's pressure and a certain degree of rigidity to prevent accidental activation during daily activities. Below the first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701, respectively, are the installation positions of the first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702. The first micro switch 602 and the second micro switch 702 are respectively fixed within the first switch mounting part 402 and the second switch mounting part 403. The first deformation plate 601 and the second deformation plate 701 deform under pressure and move downwards. When the button is pressed, the contact block 603 and the internal pressure rod at the top of the first micro switch 602 are displaced. The contact block 603 and the pressure rod are directly connected by a spring. The user needs to apply enough force to the button so that it drops deep enough to overcome the spring stress and displace the pressure rod. At this time, the originally open contacts inside the micro switch close, thereby connecting the circuit inside the mechanism assembly 1. The current is conducted through the lines on the PCB board 5, triggering the corresponding circuit to work and realize the corresponding function. After the user releases the button, the pressure rod of the micro switch rebounds and the contacts open, completing one adjustment process. In daily life, the use of the micro switch contact block 603 in conjunction with the deformation plate can effectively avoid accidental touches caused by slight collisions or shaking during daily activities. Moreover, the internal structure of the micro switch is relatively stable, and the action of contact closure and opening is relatively reliable. As long as it is installed firmly, poor contact is not likely to occur.

[0051] All other parts of this utility model not described herein are the same as existing technology, or are known technology, or can be implemented using existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
