[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3An adjustable membrane switch circuit board assembly includes a main body shell 1. A control circuit board 2 is fixed on the inner bottom wall of the main body shell 1. A limit plate 3 is fixed near the top of the main body shell 1. Multiple lifting rods 4 are slidably connected to the limit plate 3. The lifting rods 4 pass through the limit plate 3 and match the control circuit board 2. An adjustment assembly is provided inside the main body shell 1. The adjustment assembly includes a long rod 5, a through groove 6, and a limit block 7. Multiple limit blocks 7 are provided and fixed on the inner bottom wall of the main body shell 1. The limit blocks 7 pass through the control circuit board 2. The through groove 6 is formed on the lifting rod 4. The long rod 5 passes through the through groove 6 and is slidably connected to the limiting block 7. The top of the long rod 5 is fixed with an inclined spring plate 8 at the position of the through groove 6. The inclined spring plate 8 contacts the inner top wall of the through groove 6. One end of the long rod 5 is fixed with a threaded rod 9. An adjusting column 10 is rotatably connected to the main body shell 1 on one side of the threaded rod 9. The adjusting column 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 9. The top of the main body shell 1 is fixed with a top cover 11 with a slot. A contact membrane 12 is provided on the top cover 11 at the slot position.

[0022] When using this component, if the pressure of the membrane switch circuit board assembly needs to be adjusted, the adjusting column 10 is rotated. Since the adjusting column 10 is rotatably connected to the main body shell 1, it cannot move in position. The adjusting column 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 9, which allows the threaded rod 9 to move left and right. When the threaded rod 9 drives the long rod 5 to move to the right, the long rod 5 drives the inclined spring plate 8 to move. The portion of the inclined spring plate 8 in the through groove 6 gradually decreases, so that the bottom end of the inclined spring plate 8 contacts the through groove 6. The deformation of the inclined spring plate 8 decreases, thereby reducing the reverse force pressure on the lifting rod 4 and reducing the force required for the finger to press down. Similarly, when the threaded rod 9 drives the long rod 5 to move to the left, the long rod 5 drives the inclined spring plate 8 to gradually enter the through groove 6 completely, and the deformation of the inclined spring plate 8 increases, thereby increasing the reverse force pressure on the lifting rod 4 and increasing the force required for the finger to press down.

[0023] In actual use, it was found that in order to make it easier to rotate the adjusting column 10, a cross groove 13 is provided on the outer end of the adjusting column 10 in this embodiment.

[0024] In actual use, it was found that the inclined spring sheet 8 was in contact with the inner top wall of the through groove 6, causing significant damage. In order to reduce the above problems, in this embodiment, a roller shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the end of the inner top wall of the through groove 6 that is in contact with the inclined spring sheet 8.

[0025] In actual use, it was found that the lifting rod 4 may be damaged by bumping into the control circuit board 2. In order to avoid the above problem, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the lifting rod 4 is fixed with a protective pad 15.

[0026] In actual use, it was found that the long rod 5 may bump into the inner wall of the main body shell 1 when it moves. In order to avoid the above problem, in this embodiment, a buffer groove 16 is provided on the inner side wall of the main body shell 1, and the long rod 5 can be inserted into the buffer groove 16.

[0027] In actual use, it was found that, in order to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the components, in this embodiment, the top cover 11 is fixed to the main body shell 1 by bolts.
