Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button technology, specifically to a silicone button that is embedded and sealed with a panel. Background Technology

[0002] Silicone buttons are widely used in electronic devices, home appliances, and other products due to their excellent elasticity, comfortable feel, and wear resistance. However, traditional methods of assembling silicone buttons with panels often result in poor sealing. When the device is in a humid or dusty environment, moisture and dust can easily enter the device through the gaps between the buttons and the panel, potentially causing short circuits, component damage, and other malfunctions, thus affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the device.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative designs based on existing silicone buttons. Utility Model Content

[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] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a silicone button that is embedded and sealed with a panel, including a circuit board 1, a panel 2 on the top of the circuit board 1, a mounting hole 3 inside the panel 2, a first supporting circular plate 5 fixed inside the mounting hole 3, a through hole 6 in the middle of the first supporting circular plate 5, a fixing cover 7 fixed on the top of the first supporting circular plate 5, a second supporting circular plate 8 fixed on the top of the outer side of the fixing cover 7, the outer side of the second supporting circular plate 8 fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting hole 3, a movable rod 9 throughly installed on the top of the fixing cover 7, a movable circular plate 10 fixed inside the fixing cover 7 on the outer wall of the movable rod 9, a return spring 12 nested on the outer side of the movable rod 9, the upper end of the return spring 12 connected to the bottom of the movable circular plate 10, and the lower end of the return spring 12 connected to the top of the first supporting circular plate 5, a silicone button 11 fixed on the upper end of the movable rod 9, and a sealing mechanism provided on the outer side of the silicone button 11.

[0019] The sealing mechanism includes a rubber seal 13. The top of the rubber seal 13 engages with the silicone button 11, and the bottom of the rubber seal 13 fits against the top of the second support circular plate 8. An annular pressure plate 14 is installed inside the mounting hole 3. The bottom and inner side of the annular pressure plate 14 fit against the outer side of the rubber seal 13. Threads are provided on the top of the inner side of the mounting hole 3 and the outer side of the annular pressure plate 14, and the annular pressure plate 14 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 3. A slot 15 is provided on the top side of the annular pressure plate 14. There are two slots 15 symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the annular pressure plate 14. The annular pressure plate 14 can be easily rotated using a flathead screwdriver and the slots 15, thus facilitating its disassembly and installation. During installation, the annular pressure plate 14 can press the bottom of the rubber seal 13 tightly, achieving a good sealing effect and preventing external impurities from entering the circuit board through the connection between the silicone button 11 and the mounting hole 3, thus protecting the circuit board.

[0020] The top of the circuit board 1 is located inside the mounting hole 3 and there are two conductive posts 4. The lower end of the movable rod 9 is fixed with a conductive element 16, and the conductive element 16 is slidably connected to the through hole 6. This ensures that when the conductive element 16 moves downward, the circuit of the circuit board can be connected when the bottom of the conductive element 16 contacts the two conductive posts 4 at the same time.

[0021] The fixed cover 7 is slidably connected to the movable rod 9 and the movable circular plate 10, ensuring that the movable rod 9 and the movable circular plate 10 can move on the fixed cover 7.

[0022] Working principle: When using the silicone button that is embedded and sealed with the panel, firstly, the middle part of the rubber seal 13 is engaged with the silicone button 11. At this time, the bottom of the rubber seal 13 is in contact with the top of the second support round plate 8. Then, the lower end of the annular pressure plate 14 is screwed into the mounting hole 3 by hand. Then, the end of a flathead screwdriver is inserted into the two slots 15 and the screwdriver is rotated to make the annular pressure plate 14 and the silicone button 11 move downward. The annular pressure plate 14, together with the second support round plate 8, presses the bottom of the rubber seal 13 tightly, ensuring the sealing between the silicone button 11 and the panel 2.

[0023] By pressing the rubber seal 13 and the silicone button 11 with a finger, the silicone button 11 can drive the movable rod 9, the movable circular plate 10 and the conductive element 16 to move downward. The movable circular plate 10 further compresses the reset spring 12. When the bottom of the conductive element 16 contacts the two conductive posts 4, the circuit of the circuit board 1 is connected. When the finger is released, under the elastic force of the reset spring 12, the movable rod 9, the movable circular plate 10, the silicone button 11 and the conductive element 16 move upward to reset.

[0024] When the rubber seal 13 needs to be disassembled and replaced, insert the end of a flathead screwdriver into the two slots 15 and make the silicone button 11 move downward with the flathead screwdriver. Then rotate the flathead screwdriver to disassemble the annular pressure plate 14 and then pour out the rubber seal 13.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
