Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tactile switch technology, specifically relating to a bracket switch. Background Technology

[0002] Push-button switches typically refer to tactile push-button switches, also known as tactile switches or sensitive switches. As a common electronic component, its working principle is to close internal contacts and conduct the circuit by applying a certain amount of operating pressure. When the external force is removed, the switch automatically resets and disconnects the circuit due to its own elasticity. This instantaneous switching characteristic makes it widely used in consumer electronics, instrumentation, and other fields requiring rapid triggering control. However, existing push-button switches have poor tactile feedback, which greatly affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bracket switch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bracket switch, including a bracket, on which a base is fixedly mounted. The base has pins, a first terminal, and a second terminal. A spring, a buffer, and a spherical cover are sequentially fixedly mounted inside the base. The spring is electrically connected to the first terminal, the spherical cover abuts against the buffer, and the buffer abuts against the spring. The bracket has a through hole, and the spherical cover has a spherical protrusion that passes through the through hole.

[0005] Preferably, the bracket is provided with pins.

[0006] Preferably, the buffer member is provided with a convex ring, a connecting post, and a top pressure post.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting column and the top pressure column are coaxially arranged.

[0008] Preferably, the buffer is made of silicone.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the bracket is 6mm-22mm.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The bracket of this utility model is fixedly installed with a base. The base is provided with pins, a first terminal and a second terminal. A spring, a buffer and a spherical cover are fixedly installed in sequence inside the base. The spherical cover has a spherical protrusion that passes through a through hole and protrudes to the outside. The spring is spherical. In use, by pressing the spherical protrusion, the spherical cover presses against the buffer, and the buffer then presses against the spring, causing the spring to elastically deform and indent, connecting the spring to the second terminal, thereby connecting the first terminal and the second terminal. When the press is released, the spring returns to its original position, and the buffer and spherical cover are reset. The presence of the buffer improves the pressing feel of the bracket switch and enhances the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a bracket switch, including a bracket 1. A base 2 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1. The base 2 has pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5. A spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8 are sequentially fixedly mounted inside the base 2. The spring 6 is electrically connected to the first terminal 4. The spherical cover 8 abuts against the buffer 7, and the buffer 7 abuts against the spring 6. The bracket 1 has a through hole 9, and the spherical cover 8 has a spherical protrusion 10 passing through the through hole 9. The bracket 1 has pins 11. The buffer 7 has a protruding ring 12, a connecting post 13, and a pressing post 14. The connecting post 13 and the pressing post 14 are coaxially arranged. The buffer 7 is made of silicone. The height of the bracket 1 is 6mm-22mm.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the bracket 1 of this utility model is fixedly installed with a base 2. The base is provided with pins 3, a first terminal 4 and a second terminal 5. A spring 6, a buffer 7 and a spherical cover 8 are fixedly installed in sequence inside the base 2. The spherical cover 8 is provided with a spherical protrusion 10, which passes through the through hole 9 and is exposed to the outside. The spring 6 is spherical. In use, by pressing the spherical protrusion 10, the spherical cover 8 presses against the buffer 7, and the buffer 7 then presses against the spring 6, causing the spring 6 to undergo elastic deformation and indentation, so that the spring 6 connects with the second terminal 5, thereby connecting the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5. When the press is released, the spring 6 returns to its original position, so that the buffer 7 and the spherical cover 8 are reset. The presence of the buffer 7 improves the pressing feel of the switch of the bracket 1 and improves the user experience.

[0021] Example 2:

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes main components such as a bracket 1, a base 2, a spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8. The bracket 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire switch, and the base 2 is fixedly installed inside it. The base 2 is provided with pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5 for circuit connection. These terminals are connected to an external circuit through the pins 3. The spring 6, the buffer 7, and the spherical cover 8 are sequentially fixedly installed inside the base 2; these components together constitute the core operating mechanism of the switch.

[0023] The spring piece 6 is made of conductive material and is electrically connected to the first terminal 4 on the base 2. The spring piece 6 has elastic deformation characteristics, enabling it to deform under force and return to its original shape after the external force is removed. The buffer 7 is located between the spring piece 6 and the spherical cover 8, and is made of a material with certain elasticity and damping characteristics, capable of absorbing part of the impact force and slowing down the movement speed. The spherical cover 8 is located at the top layer, with its bottom in contact with the buffer 7, and its top has an outwardly protruding spherical protrusion 10.

[0024] A through hole 9 is provided on the bracket 1. The spherical protrusion 10 of the spherical cover 8 passes through the through hole 9 and is partially exposed outside the bracket 1, forming an operating part that can be pressed by the user. When the user presses the spherical protrusion 10, the force is transmitted through the spherical cover 8 to the buffer 7, and the buffer 7 then evenly transmits the force to the spring 6. Under the pressure, the spring 6 undergoes elastic deformation, gradually bending towards the second terminal 5, and finally contacting the second terminal 5, thus realizing the circuit connection between the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5.

[0025] During the pressing process, the buffer 7 plays a crucial role in cushioning. It absorbs some of the impact energy, making the pressing action smoother and avoiding the harsh feel of direct, hard contact. At the same time, the presence of the buffer 7 also extends the force transmission path, making the entire pressing process more tactile and responsive. When the user releases the pressure, the elastic restoring force of the spring 6 pushes the buffer 7 and the spherical cover 8 back to their original positions, the spherical protrusion 10 returns to its original position, and the circuit is disconnected.

[0026] In this embodiment, the switch of bracket 1 achieves a good pressing feel and operating experience through the synergistic action of the spring 6, the buffer 7, and the spherical cover 8. The introduction of the buffer 7 significantly improves the shortcomings of the traditional switch's stiff and direct pressing, making the operation process more comfortable and natural. The spherical shape design of the spring 6, combined with the buffering characteristics of the buffer 7, ensures a smooth transition when the switch is turned on and off, avoiding mechanical shock and vibration.

[0027] In practical applications, this bracket 1 switch can be widely used in the control panels of various electronic devices. Its excellent tactile feedback is particularly suitable for occasions requiring frequent operation or demanding user experience. By adjusting the material and thickness of the buffer 7, the pressing force and rebound characteristics can be further optimized to meet the needs of different application scenarios. The entire switch structure is compact, and the components are precisely matched, ensuring long-term reliability and stability.

[0028] Example 3:

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the bracket 1 of the utility model is fixedly mounted with a base 2. The base 2 has pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5. A spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8 are sequentially fixedly mounted inside the base 2. The spring 6 is electrically connected to the first terminal 4, and the spherical cover 8 abuts against the buffer 7. The buffer 7 abuts against the spring 6. The bracket 1 has a through hole 9, and the spherical cover 8 has a spherical protrusion 10 that passes through the through hole 9. The bracket 1 has pins 11, which facilitate the bracket 1 to be fixed to the circuit board by soldering.

[0030] In this embodiment, the design of the pins 11 of the bracket 1 allows the switch of bracket 1 to be securely mounted on the circuit board. The pins 11 are integrally formed with the bracket 1, providing good mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. When the switch of bracket 1 needs to be mounted on the circuit board, the operator simply aligns the pins 11 with the corresponding pads on the circuit board and secures it using a soldering process. This mounting method is not only simple to operate but also provides a reliable connection, ensuring that the switch of bracket 1 will not loosen or fall off during long-term use.

[0031] The design of pin 11 also takes into account the requirements of the soldering process. The shape and size of pin 11 have been optimized to allow it to bond well with common solder materials, forming a strong solder joint. At the same time, the length of pin 11 is moderate, ensuring sufficient soldering area without being too long and affecting the space layout of the circuit board. In addition, the surface of pin 11 has undergone special treatment, providing good solderability and effectively preventing oxidation to ensure soldering quality.

[0032] In practical applications, after the switch bracket 1 is fixed to the circuit board via pin 11, its overall structure is stable and can withstand a certain amount of mechanical stress. When the user presses the spherical protrusion 10, the spherical cover 8 presses against the buffer 7, which in turn presses against the spring 6, causing the spring 6 to undergo elastic deformation and connect to the second terminal 5, thereby connecting the circuit. Because the bracket 1 is firmly fixed to the circuit board via pin 11, the bracket 1 will not shift or shake during the entire operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch.

[0033] Example 4:

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a bracket 1, a base 2, a spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8. The base 2 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 and has pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5. The spring 6 is fixedly mounted inside the base 2 and electrically connected to the first terminal 4. The buffer 7 is positioned above the spring 6, and the spherical cover 8 is located above the buffer 7 and abuts against it. The spherical cover 8 has a spherical protrusion 10, which passes through a through hole 9 on the bracket 1 and protrudes to the outside.

[0035] The buffer 7 has a special structure, including a convex ring 12, a connecting post 13, and a pressing post 14. The convex ring 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the buffer 7, giving the buffer 7 a cap-like structure. The pressing post 14 extends downward from the bottom of the buffer 7 and directly abuts against the spring piece 6. The connecting post 13 is located in the middle of the buffer 7 and extends upward to be fixedly connected to the spherical cover 8. The convex ring 12 itself also maintains contact with the spring piece 6.

[0036] When the user presses the spherical protrusion 10 of the spherical cover 8, the operating force is transmitted to the buffer 7 through the spherical cover 8. The connecting post 13 is first subjected to pressure, which is then transmitted to the body of the buffer 7. Due to the presence of the protruding ring 12, the buffer 7 has a certain degree of elasticity. Under pressure, the buffer 7 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the top pressure post 14 to move downward. The top pressure post 14 transmits pressure to the spring 6, causing the spring 6 to deform and contact the second terminal 5, thereby achieving circuit connection between the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5.

[0037] The special structural design of the buffer 7 brings multiple advantages. The convex ring 12 not only provides elastic support but also maintains contact with the spring 6, ensuring uniform force transmission. The fixed connection between the connecting post 13 and the spherical cover 8 ensures an effective force transmission path. The pressing post 14 acts directly on the spring 6, ensuring the accuracy of the switch action. Throughout the pressing process, the elastic deformation of the buffer 7 provides a gradual change in resistance, greatly improving the pressing feel.

[0038] When the pressing force is removed, the elastic restoring force of the spring 6 pushes the buffer 7 back to its original position. The elastic properties of the buffer 7 assist this reset process, allowing the spherical cover 8 to quickly and smoothly return to its initial position. This design not only ensures reliable disconnection of the switch but also provides a comfortable rebound feel.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structural design of the buffer 7 pays special attention to the force transmission path and elastic characteristics. The annular structure of the convex ring 12 ensures uniform force distribution and avoids local stress concentration. The rigid connection of the connecting post 13 ensures efficient force transmission. The precise position of the pressure post 14 ensures the controllability of the deformation of the spring 6. The synergistic effect of these structural features enables the switch to provide excellent tactile feedback while maintaining sensitive response.

[0040] In practical applications, this bracket-1 switch provides clear operational feedback. Users can feel a distinct, phased change in resistance during pressing, from initial slight resistance to a clear bottoming-out sensation. This tactile feedback helps users confirm effective switch operation, preventing misoperation or unclear operation. Simultaneously, the optimized elasticity reduces operational fatigue and improves comfort during extended use.

[0041] Example 5:

[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown, a base 2 assembly is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 of this utility model. The base 2 contains a pin connection system 3 and a conductive circuit consisting of a first terminal 4 and a second terminal 5. The internal space of the base 2 is sequentially equipped with a spring piece 6 assembly, a buffer mechanism, and a spherical cover 8 structure. The spring piece 6 assembly forms a stable electrical connection with the first terminal 4. The spherical cover 8 passes through the through hole 9 of the bracket 1 via its specially designed spherical protrusion 10, maintaining contact with the buffer mechanism. Simultaneously, the buffer mechanism maintains an abutment relationship with the spring piece 6 assembly.

[0043] The buffer mechanism employs a unique three-section structural design, comprising a convex ring 12, a connecting column 13, and a pressure column 14. The connecting column 13 and the pressure column 14 are arranged coaxially, ensuring a linear force transmission path. When external pressure is applied, the connecting column 13 directly transmits the pressure to the buffer mechanism body. Due to the elastic support of the convex ring 12, the entire buffer mechanism undergoes elastic deformation, which in turn pushes the pressure column 14 to apply uniform pressure to the spring assembly 6. The coaxial design of the connecting column 13 and the pressure column 14 ensures the linearity and stability of pressure transmission, effectively preventing the generation of lateral forces.

[0044] During operation, when the user presses the spherical protrusion 10 of the spherical cover 8, the force is directly transmitted to the buffer mechanism through the connecting post 13. Due to the coaxial arrangement of the connecting post 13 and the pressure post 14, the pressure can be accurately transmitted along the central axis, allowing the pressure post 14 to apply a vertically downward pressure to the spring piece 6 assembly. This design significantly improves pressure transmission efficiency, reduces energy loss, and ensures the smoothness of the pressing process. Under pressure, the spring piece 6 assembly undergoes elastic deformation, contacting the second terminal 5 to form a conductive path, thus realizing the switching function.

[0045] When the external pressure is removed, the elastic restoring force of the spring plate 6 assembly pushes the buffer mechanism to reset. Due to the coaxial design of the connecting column 13 and the top pressure column 14, the reset process also maintains linear motion, ensuring that each component can accurately return to its initial position.

[0046] The design of the convex ring 12 of the buffer mechanism, combined with the coaxially arranged connecting post 13 and top pressure post 14, constitutes a highly efficient pressure transmission system. This system not only improves the pressing feel but also ensures the reliability and consistency of the switching action.

[0047] Example 6:

[0048] like Figures 1-4As shown, the bracket 1 of this utility model is fixedly mounted with a base 2. The base 2 has pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5. A spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8 are sequentially fixedly mounted inside the base 2. The spring 6 is electrically connected to the first terminal 4, and the spherical cover 8 abuts against the buffer 7. The buffer 7 abuts against the spring 6. The bracket 1 has a through hole 9, and the spherical cover 8 has a spherical protrusion 10 that passes through the through hole 9. The buffer 7 is made of silicone. The elastic properties of silicone significantly improve the elasticity of the buffer 7, thereby improving the pressing feel of the switch on the bracket 1. When the silicone buffer 7 is subjected to pressure from the spherical cover 8, it can produce appropriate elastic deformation. This deformation is neither too stiff, making pressing difficult, nor too soft, resulting in insufficient feedback. This keeps the pressing feel within the range of 50-150GF, providing a comfortable operating experience for the user.

[0049] In practical applications, when a user presses the spherical protrusion 10 of the spherical cover 8, the spherical cover 8 transmits the pressure to the silicone buffer 7. Due to its high elasticity, the silicone buffer 7 can evenly distribute the pressure and produce appropriate deformation, thereby avoiding discomfort caused by concentrated pressure. The elastic deformation of the silicone buffer 7 further pushes the spring 6 to deform, causing the spring 6 to contact the second terminal 5, thus achieving circuit continuity. When the user releases the pressure, the silicone buffer 7, with its excellent resilience, quickly returns to its original shape, causing the spherical cover 8 and the spring 6 to reset, disconnecting the circuit. The silicone buffer 7 not only effectively absorbs the impact force during the pressing process but also provides clear tactile feedback, ensuring a clear tactile response with each press.

[0050] The use of silicone buffer 7 further enhances the durability of the bracket 1 switch. Silicone material possesses excellent anti-aging and fatigue resistance, maintaining stable elasticity even under prolonged and frequent pressing, without hardening or loosening due to repeated deformation. This allows the bracket 1 switch to maintain a good pressing feel during long-term use, extending the product's lifespan. Furthermore, the softness of the silicone buffer 7 reduces noise generated during pressing, further improving the user experience.

[0051] The use of silicone material for the buffer 7 can significantly improve the pressing feel of the switch on the bracket 1, keeping it within a comfortable range of 50-150GF.

[0052] Example 7:

[0053] like Figures 1-4As shown, the bracket 1 of this utility model is fixedly mounted with a base 2. The base 2 has pins 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5. A spring 6, a buffer 7, and a spherical cover 8 are sequentially fixedly mounted inside the base 2. The spring 6 is electrically connected to the first terminal 4, and the spherical cover 8 abuts against the buffer 7. The buffer 7 abuts against the spring 6. The bracket 1 has a through hole 9, and the spherical cover 8 has a spherical protrusion 10 that passes through the through hole 9. In this embodiment, the height of the bracket 1 is 6mm-22mm. This height range design allows the bracket 1 switch to adapt to various different application scenarios.

[0054] In practical implementation, when the height of bracket 1 is 6mm, the switch is suitable for electronic devices with relatively compact space, such as small remote controls or portable electronic devices. This height design allows the switch to maintain good operating feel and reliability even in limited space. When the height of bracket 1 is 12mm, the switch is suitable for medium-sized electronic devices, such as home appliance control panels or industrial control equipment. This height ensures operating comfort while taking into account the overall size limitations of the equipment.

[0055] When the bracket 1 height is 18mm, this bracket 1 switch is suitable for industrial equipment or special applications requiring greater operating force. The taller bracket 1 design provides a longer press travel, thereby improving the operating feel and enhancing durability. When the bracket 1 height is 22mm, this bracket 1 switch is suitable for applications requiring clear tactile feedback, such as medical devices or high-precision instruments. This maximum height design provides the longest press travel and the most obvious operational feedback.

[0056] In practical applications, the selection of bracket 1 height also needs to consider its compatibility with surrounding components. For example, in applications requiring waterproofing and dustproofing, a higher bracket 1 height can provide better sealing performance; while in applications requiring frequent operation, a moderate bracket 1 height can provide a more comfortable operating experience. The bracket 1 height design of 6mm-22mm allows this bracket 1 switch to meet the diverse needs of various application scenarios, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment.
