[0025] This utility model discloses a button with anti-drop protection function.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, a key with anti-fall-off protection function includes a base 1 and a keycap 2. The keycap 2 is disposed inside the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a kit 13. The kit 13 has a slot 131. The slot 131 is connected to a sliding groove 1311. The inner side of the keycap 2 is connected to an inner shell 212. The inner side of the inner shell 212 is provided with a locking block 2121. The locking block 2121 is engaged with the inner side of the sliding groove 1311. Through the cooperation of the locking block 2121, the slot 131 and the sliding groove 1311, the installation of the keycap 2 on the base 1 is more stable, effectively preventing the keycap 2 from falling off.
[0028] The keycap 2 is securely mounted on the base 1 through the snap-fit of the locking block 2121, the locking slot 131, and the sliding groove 1311. Even under frequent pressing, the keycap 2 can be effectively prevented from falling off, improving the reliability and service life of the key. The silicone partition 132 inside the kit 13 can effectively prevent liquid from entering the contact 12 area, avoiding short circuits caused by liquid seepage, and enhancing the safety of the key in humid environments. The tight fit between the components, the setting of the spring 22 ensures the automatic reset of the keycap 2, and the design of the contact rod 211 ensures the accuracy and sensitivity of the key operation. The overall structure is compact, which is convenient for production and installation.
[0029] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a seat 11, and a contact 12 is provided on the inner side of the seat 11. A groove 111 is provided on the inner side of the seat 11. The groove 111 provides space for the installation of other components and also helps to enhance the overall structural strength of the button.
[0030] Furthermore, a contact point 12 is provided on the inner side of the groove 111.
[0031] Specifically disclosed, the kit 13 is located inside the groove 111 and is sleeved on the outside of the contact 12. The kit 13 provides a certain degree of protection for the contact 12 and also lays the foundation for the subsequent implementation of the waterproof structure.
[0032] Specifically disclosed, a silicone partition 132 is provided on the inner side of the kit 13. The silicone partition 132 is located on the top of the contact 12. The silicone partition 132 is used to waterproof the contact 12. The silicone partition 132 can effectively prevent liquid from entering the contact 12 area, improve the waterproof performance of the button, and prevent the contact 12 from being damaged due to liquid seepage.
[0033] It is particularly important to emphasize that the keycap 2 is provided with a cap shell 21, and a contact rod 211 is connected to the inside of the cap shell 21. The contact rod 211 is located directly above the contact point 12 and the silicone separator 132. The positioning of the contact rod 211 can accurately transmit pressure to the contact point 12 when the keycap 2 is pressed, ensuring the normal functioning of the key.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, a key with anti-drop protection function includes a base 1 and a keycap 2. The keycap 2 is disposed inside the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a kit 13. The kit 13 has a slot 131. The slot 131 is connected to a sliding groove 1311. The inner side of the keycap 2 is connected to an inner shell 212. The inner side of the inner shell 212 is provided with a locking block 2121. The locking block 2121 is engaged with the inner side of the sliding groove 1311.
[0036] It is worth emphasizing that the cap 21 and the inner shell 212 are provided with an annular groove 213. A spring 22 is engaged inside the annular groove 213. The spring 22 is inserted into the groove 111 and sleeved on the outside of the kit 13. The spring 22 enables the keycap 2 to automatically return to its original position after being pressed, ensuring the smoothness and comfort of key operation.
[0037] Working principle: When the user presses keycap 2, keycap 2 moves downward, causing the contact rod 211 to press down on the silicone spacer 132, thereby making contact 12 conductive and realizing the key function. After pressing, keycap 2 automatically returns to its original position under the elastic force of spring 22, waiting for the next operation. During use, the presence of silicone spacer 132 effectively prevents liquid from entering the contact 12 area, protecting the contact 12 from damage; at the same time, the locking structure between the locking block 2121 and the sliding groove 1311 ensures that keycap 2 will not easily fall off, ensuring normal key operation.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
