[0024] In existing technologies, many electronic products use buttons to activate device functions. The main methods are press-to-start, toggle-to-start, or touch-to-start. Traditional toggle mechanism designs mainly use a sliding cover to press or push the micro switch or toggle button, which leads to easy wear and tear and a significant reduction in feel. Especially after long-term use, the button may even become stuck and has a short lifespan.

[0025] This utility model proposes an electronic product.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the electronic product includes a housing 100, a function switch 200, a toggle assembly 300, and a friction-reducing structure 400. The function switch 200 is located inside the housing 100 and has a first functional state and a second functional state. The toggle assembly 300 includes a slidably disposed toggle body 310 and a bracket 320 connected to the toggle body 310. One end of the toggle body 310 is connected to the function switch 200, and the other end of the toggle body 310 extends to the outside of the housing 100. The sliding of the toggle body 310 causes the function switch 200 to switch between the first functional state and the second functional state, and the sliding of the toggle body 310 causes the bracket 320 to slide synchronously. The friction-reducing structure 400 is disposed between the inner wall of the housing 100 and the bracket 320.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in specific implementation, it should be noted that the function switch 200 can perform different functions in the first and second functional states and can be switched by pressing or toggling, such as a switch function. It is understood that the function switch 200 can be a toggle switch or a push-button switch, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to either. When the function switch 200 is a toggle switch, the toggle component 300 slides and drives the toggle switch to the first functional state. The toggle component 300 continues to slide or slides in the opposite direction to drive the toggle switch to the second functional state, thereby achieving the switching of functional states. When the function switch 200 is a push-button switch, the toggle component 300 slides to press the function switch 200 to put it in the first functional state. The toggle component 300 continues to slide or slides in the opposite direction to press the function switch 200 to switch to the second functional state. The toggle body 310 and the bracket 320 can be made of PC plastic, metal, or other plastic parts.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the toggle body 310 is driven to connect with the function switch 200. The movement of the toggle body 310 drives the function switch 200 to switch functions. Specifically, one end of the toggle body 310 is connected to the function switch 200, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 100. By driving a portion of the toggle body 310 outside the housing 100 to slide along the housing 100, the entire toggle body 310 slides, thereby driving the function switch 200 to switch between a first function state and a second function state. The toggle body 310 is also connected to the bracket 320, which is located inside the housing 100. The sliding of the toggle body 310 drives the sliding of the bracket 320. Furthermore, a friction-reducing structure 400 is provided between the bracket 320 and the inner wall of the housing 100 to reduce the friction between the bracket 320 and the housing 100 and improve the feel of the toggle assembly 300. Of course, it can be understood that the friction-reducing structure 400 is provided on the surfaces of the bracket 320 and the housing 100 that are opposite each other.

[0029] The friction-reducing structure 400 reduces friction between the support 320 and the housing 100 by decreasing the contact area between them. Specifically, the friction-reducing structure 400 can be a mechanism in which a slider slides along a slide rail. Understandably, the slider and the slide rail are respectively located on the support 320 and the housing 100, thereby reducing friction between the housing 100 and the support 320. Alternatively, the friction-reducing structure 400 can have a protrusion on one of the support 320 and the housing 100, with the protrusion sliding along the other of the two components.

[0030] This utility model's technical solution employs a toggle body 310, with one end connected to the function switch 200 and the other end extending to the outside of the housing 100. The toggle body 310 is also connected to a bracket 320, causing the bracket 320 to slide synchronously. The sliding of the toggle body 310 drives the function switch 200 to switch between a first and second functional state. A friction-reducing structure 400 is provided between the inner wall of the housing 100 and the bracket 320 to reduce the contact area between them, thereby reducing friction and preventing jamming when the toggle body 310 is slidable. This also reduces sliding wear between the housing 100 and the bracket 320, improving the feel of the toggle assembly 300 when driving the function switch 200 to switch functional states, enhancing the product's quality, and thus increasing its competitiveness.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the friction-reducing structure 400 includes a first rib 410, one of the housing 100 and the bracket 320 is provided with the first rib 410, and the first rib 410 is slidably connected to the other of the housing 100 and the bracket 320.

[0032] Specifically, the first rib 410 protrudes from the surface of the housing 100 or the bracket 320 and extends in one direction, such as the sliding direction of the bracket 320, so that the housing 100 and the bracket 320 are in line contact to reduce the contact area between the housing 100 and the bracket 320, thereby reducing the friction between them.

[0033] In one embodiment, the friction-reducing structure 400 further includes a second rib 420, and another of the housing 100 and the bracket 320 is provided with a second rib 420. The first rib 410 and the second rib 420 are slidably connected and perpendicular to each other.

[0034] In this embodiment, one of the housing 100 and the bracket 320 is provided with a first rib 410, and the other is provided with a second rib 420. The first rib 410 and the second rib 420 are perpendicular to each other and slide in contact with each other. In this way, the contact between the housing 100 and the bracket 320 can be regarded as a point contact, which further reduces the contact area between the two, thereby reducing friction and improving the feel when pushing the actuating body 310 to slide.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of contact and sliding between the bracket 320 and the housing 100, the first rib 410 and / or the second rib 420 are provided with two parallel ribs.

[0036] The first rib 410 and the second rib 420 have curved surface contours facing each other and are arranged to protrude towards each other. The curved surface of the first rib 410 and the second rib 420 can further reduce the contact area between them and further reduce the friction between them.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the toggle body 310 includes a drive part 311 and a latching part 312. The drive part 311 is slidably disposed on the side of the housing 100 away from the function switch 200. One end of the latching part 312 is connected to the drive part 311, and the other end passes through the housing 100 and latches the connecting bracket 320. The drive part 311 and the latching part 312 cooperate to clamp the bracket 320 on the side of the housing facing the function switch 200.

[0038] In specific implementation, the driving part 311 is located outside the housing 100 and slides along the surface of the housing 100, while the locking part 312 is located inside the housing 100 and locks the bracket 320, thereby causing the actuating body 310 to slide and drive the bracket 320 to slide synchronously. Furthermore, the locking part 312 passes through the bracket 320 and extends to the side of the bracket 320 opposite to the housing 100. Thus, the locking part 312 and the driving part 311 are located on opposite sides of the bracket 320 and the housing 100, respectively, clamping the bracket 320 inside the housing. The actuating body 310 slides, causing the bracket 320 to slide synchronously along the housing. It is understood that the force exerted by the driving part 311 and the locking part 312 on the bracket 320 keeps the bracket 320 in contact with the housing 100 without affecting its sliding.

[0039] In one embodiment, two latching portions 312 are provided, and the two latching portions 312 are symmetrically arranged about the connecting portion 313 to improve the stability of the latching of the bracket 320. In addition, the latching portion 312 is configured as a snap-fit, which latches onto the side of the bracket 320 away from the driving portion 311. The snap-fit ​​passes through the bracket 320 and abuts against the side of the bracket 320 facing the function switch 200, thereby realizing the latching. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​also cooperates with the driving portion 311 to pull the bracket 320 tightly against the inner wall of the housing.

[0040] In one embodiment, the toggle body 310 further includes a connecting part 313, one end of which is connected to the driving part 311, and the other end passes through the housing 100 and the bracket 320 to drive the connection function switch 200.

[0041] In specific implementation, the driving part 311 and the connecting part 313 are located at opposite ends of the toggle body 310. By pushing the driving part 311, the connecting part 313 moves, thereby driving the function switch 200 to switch its function state. Specifically, the connecting part 313 can be fixedly connected to the function switch 200, and the connecting part 313 can move to toggle the function switch 200. The connecting part 313 can also be in contact with the function switch 200, and the connecting part 313 can move to press the function switch 200, thereby causing the function switch 200 to switch its function state. In this embodiment, no limitation is made, and the appropriate connection method is selected according to the actual structure of the function switch 200.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 313 is plugged into the function switch 200. Specifically, the connecting portion 313 has a slot 314, and the function switch 200 includes a lever 210, which is inserted into the slot 314. The function switch 200 is a toggle switch that switches its function state by moving the lever 210. The slot 314 is located at the end of the connecting portion 313 and extends inward. The lever 210 is inserted into the slot 314, so that the toggle body 310 and the lever 210 are relatively fixed. Then, the toggle body 310 slides to drive the lever 210 to move and switch the function state of the function switch 200.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 100 is provided with a slide groove 110, the drive unit 311 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 110, the bottom surface of the slide groove 110 is provided with an avoidance opening 120, and the connecting part 313 is disposed through the avoidance opening 120.

[0044] In specific implementation, the surface of the housing 100 facing away from the bracket 320 is recessed to form a groove 110 for accommodating the drive unit 311. The drive unit 311 can be a plate-like structure and is slidably disposed within the groove 110. A clearance opening 120 is provided through the bottom surface of the groove 110, allowing portions of the connecting part 313 and the locking part 312 to pass through. The length of the clearance opening 120 ensures the sliding stroke of the drive unit 311 and drives the connecting part 313 and the locking part 312 to move synchronously. Furthermore, the length of the groove 110 ensures the sliding stroke of the drive unit 311 within the groove 110, and functional markings are provided on the bottom surface of the groove 110 and on both sides of the clearance opening 120. Understandably, when the drive unit 311 slides to one end of the slide groove 110, a portion of the bottom surface of the groove near the other end of the slide groove 110 is exposed, and the exposed portion has a function mark to indicate the functional state of the function switch 200 at this time, such as the first functional state. Correspondingly, when the drive unit 311 slides to the other end of the slide groove 110, a portion of the bottom surface of the groove near the opposite end of the slide groove 110 is exposed, and the exposed portion has another function mark to indicate the other functional state of the function switch 200 at this time, such as the second functional state.

[0045] In one embodiment, the electronic product further includes a PCB board 220, and the housing 100 forms a cavity. The PCB board 220 is disposed within the cavity, and the function switch 200 is disposed on the PCB board 220. In this embodiment, the PCB board 220 is located within the cavity, and the function switch 200 is electrically connected to and fixed on the PCB board 220 and close to the toggle assembly 300 to connect to the toggle assembly 300.
