[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5A power supply box with an easy-to-assemble button structure includes: a housing 100, an electronic component 200, and a button 300. The housing 100 is provided with a button hole 110 and a snap-fit structure 120. The electronic component 200 is disposed in the housing 100 and is provided with a push switch 210. The button 300 includes a base 310, a button body 320, and a flexible arm 330. The button body 320 is inserted into the button hole 110 and is connected to the base 310 through the flexible arm 330. The base 310 is provided with a snap-fit part 311, which is used to snap and fix the base 310 to the snap-fit structure 120. The button body 320 can extend and retract within the button hole 110 through the flexible arm 330. The button body 320 is opposite to the push switch 210. When the button body 320 is retracted within the button hole 110, it can be pressed to trigger the push switch 210.
[0031] The above-described structure includes a base 310, a button body 320, and a flexible arm 330. The button 300 is fixed to the outer casing 100 by the base 310, and the flexible arm 330 allows the button body 320 to be pressed and reset. The button body 320 can extend and retract within the button hole 110, thereby triggering the push-button switch 210 and completing the function of the button 300. Due to the snap-fit installation and the use of the flexible arm 330 to allow the button body 320 to move and reset, the overall structure is simple, and assembly can be performed without screws or riveting, making assembly convenient.
[0032] In this embodiment, two elastic arms 330 are provided. One end of each elastic arm 330 is connected to the button body 320, and the other end is connected to the base 310. One end of each elastic arm 330 is connected to the left and right ends of the button body 320, respectively. With the above structure, the elastic arms 330 can provide balanced support to the button body 320, resulting in smooth operation and good stability of the button body 320.
[0033] In this embodiment, the snap-fit structure 120 includes two snap-fit strips 121 arranged side-by-side with a left-right gap, forming a slot 122 between the two snap-fit strips 121. Each snap-fit strip 121 has a snap-fit part 123, and the base 310 is inserted into the slot 122, with the snap-fit part 311 engaging with the snap-fit part 123. The snap-fit structure 120 described above has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and provides a stable installation for the base 310.
[0034] In this embodiment, both clips 121 are provided with a snap-fit part 123, and the base 310 is provided with two snap-fit parts 311. The two snap-fit parts 311 and the two snap-fit parts 123 are respectively matched and engaged, so that the connection is more stable.
[0035] In this embodiment, the latching part 311 is an elastic latch, the base 310 includes a base plate part 312, the latching part 311 includes a latching arm 3111 and a latching body 3112, the latching arms 3111 of the two latching parts 311 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the base plate part 312, one end of the latching arm 3111 is connected to one end of the corresponding side of the base plate part 312, a deformation clearance space 313 is provided between the latching arm 3111 and the base plate part 312, the latching body 3112 is disposed at the other end of the latching arm 3111 and on the side away from the deformation clearance space 313, an insertion port 124 is formed between one end of the two latching strips 121 for inserting the base 310 into the slot 122, and the latching mating part 123 is disposed on the side of the latching strip 121 near the inside of the slot 122. When installing the base 310, it can be inserted into the slot 122 through the aforementioned insertion port 124. Since the latching part 311 is an elastic latch, the latching arm 3111 can deform towards the deformation clearance space 313, thereby allowing the latching body 3112 to smoothly enter the slot and engage with the corresponding latching mating part 123. The above structure facilitates assembly and is simple in design.
[0036] In the embodiment, the buckle body 3112 can be a protrusion, and the buckle mating part 123 can be a matching recess; of course, it is conceivable that the buckle body 3112 can also be a recess, and the buckle mating part 123 can be a matching protrusion.
[0037] In this embodiment, the outer casing 100 is provided with a limiting block 130, which engages with the upper surface of the base 310 and presses the base 310 against the bottom of the slot 122. Using this structure, the limiting block 130 can press against and limit the base 310, preventing it from coming out. Combined with the snap-fit structure of the base 310, the base 310 can be more securely fixed.
[0038] In this embodiment, the snap-fit body 3112 and the snap-fit mating part 123 are provided at one end of the snap-fit strip 121, and the limiting block 130 is provided at the other end of the snap-fit strip 121. With the above structure, the two ends of the base 310 along the length direction of the snap-fit strip 121 are respectively snapped and pressed to limit, thereby making the installation more stable.
[0039] In this embodiment, the inner side of the outer casing is provided with a bottom surface 140 and a vertical surface 150, which are connected to the bottom surface 140. A button hole 110 is formed on the vertical surface 150, a retaining strip 121 is provided on the bottom surface 140, and a limiting block 130 is provided on the vertical surface 150. With the above structure, the retaining strip 121 and the limiting block 130 can be simply arranged using the vertical surface 150 and the bottom surface 140, thereby facilitating manufacturing.
[0040] In this embodiment, the button body 320 includes a pressing part 321 and a limiting flange 322. The limiting flange 322 is disposed at one end of the pressing part 321, which is disposed in the button hole 110. An elastic arm 330 is connected to the peripheral surface of the limiting flange 322 and is perpendicular to the base 310. The base 310 is disposed on the bottom surface 140 and fits against the bottom surface 140. When the button 300 is not pressed, the limiting flange 322 and the elastic arm 330 fit against the vertical surface 150. With the above structure, the button 300 is equivalent to being fitted and installed inside the outer casing 100 on the bottom surface 140 and the vertical surface 150, saving space, providing good installation positioning, and ensuring stable installation.
[0041] In this embodiment, the base 310, the button body 320, and the elastic arm 330 are integrally formed, which facilitates manufacturing.
[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
