Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing electronic devices, buttons are usually located on the device itself, such as mobile phones, tablets, smart glasses, massagers, and mice. These buttons are used to control different functions of the electronic device.

[0003] In related technologies, multiple button components are often needed to control different functions of electronic devices. However, in some small electronic devices, such as smartwatches and smart glasses, the limited internal space makes it inconvenient to install multiple buttons to achieve various functions. Therefore, some miniaturized electronic devices use a single button to trigger multiple functions. However, when using a single-button structure on these devices, the integration of multiple functions into a single button may lead to accidental triggering of different functions during use, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses an electronic device that can help improve the problem of accidental triggering when a single button is used to achieve multi-functional touch control.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses an electronic device, comprising:

[0006] The device body has a receiving space and an opening that communicates with the receiving space along a first direction. The opening is an elongated hole that extends along a second direction.

[0007] Motherboard, the motherboard being located within the accommodating space;

[0008] A button assembly, wherein the button assembly is located in the receiving space, and at least a portion of the button assembly is movably disposed at the opening;

[0009] The button assembly includes:

[0010] The button structure includes:

[0011] The main body is located in the receiving space and is electrically connected to the motherboard;

[0012] An operating part is connected to the main body and is movably disposed at the opening;

[0013] The button structure has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the operating part can drive the main body to move in the first direction, and the main body triggers the motherboard to generate a first electrical signal. In the second state, the operating part can drive the main body to move in the second direction, and the main body triggers the motherboard to generate a second electrical signal. The second electrical signal is a different electrical signal from the first electrical signal.

[0014] A limiting structure is provided on the device body and located in the accommodating space. The limiting structure is provided corresponding to the main body and located on the side of the main body away from the operating part. The limiting structure has a limiting groove with an opening facing the main body.

[0015] The main body is provided with a first protrusion protruding toward the limiting structure. In the first state, the first protrusion is at least partially located in the limiting groove to restrict the movement of the operating part and the main body in the second direction. In the second state, the first protrusion disengages from the limiting groove and can abut against the surface of the limiting structure where the limiting groove is provided to restrict the movement of the main body in the first direction.

[0016] Wherein, the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0017] This application sets the button structure to have a first state and a second state, and in the first state and the second state, the direction of the operation part driving the main body to move is different. This allows the main body to trigger the motherboard to generate different electrical signals in different states, thereby realizing the control of different functions by a single button.

[0018] Building upon this, this application further adds a limiting structure. This limiting structure is positioned on the side of the main body away from the operating part, forming a limiting groove. Correspondingly, a first protrusion is provided on the main body. Thus, in the first state, the first protrusion can be at least partially located in the limiting groove, thereby restricting the movement of the operating part and the main body in the second direction. In the second state, the first protrusion can disengage from the limiting groove and abut against the surface of the limiting structure, thereby restricting the movement of the operating part and the main body in the first direction. Therefore, the button structure of the electronic device of this application, when realizing movement in the first direction, can utilize the cooperation of the limiting structure and the first protrusion to prevent movement in other directions besides the first direction. Correspondingly, when realizing movement in the second direction, the cooperation of the limiting structure and the first protrusion can also prevent movement in other directions besides the second direction, thereby preventing accidental button presses.

[0019] In addition, when implementing the anti-mistouch function, the main body can be protected against accidental touches in two different directions using only a single limiting structure. The structure is simple and, while ensuring the anti-mistouch effect, it can also simplify the structural design of the button structure, which is conducive to achieving the miniaturization and compact design requirements of electronic devices.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the main body portion is provided with:

[0021] A trigger portion extends along the first direction to approach the motherboard, and the trigger portion, the first protrusion, and the limiting structure are spaced apart in the second direction;

[0022] The motherboard is equipped with:

[0023] The switch unit is electrically connected to the motherboard. In the first state, the main body moves along the first direction to bring the trigger unit close to the switch unit and trigger the switch unit to generate the first electrical signal.

[0024] By having the trigger portion on the main body spaced apart from the first protrusion and the limiting structure along the second direction, it can be ensured that in the first state, the trigger portion can trigger the switch portion to generate a first electrical signal, while also preventing the limiting structure from interfering with the movement of the trigger portion.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the surface of the limiting structure where the limiting groove is provided is a first surface, and along the first direction, the distance from the first protrusion to the first surface is less than the trigger stroke of the switch portion.

[0026] When the trigger unit is connected to the switch unit along the first direction and the switch unit is not triggered to send the first electrical signal, the distance between the first protrusion and the first surface of the limiting structure is less than the trigger stroke of the switch unit. That is, when the first protrusion just extends into the limiting groove, since most of the first protrusion is still outside the limiting groove, that is, the portion of the first protrusion extending into the limiting groove is very limited, the trigger unit cannot trigger the switch unit to send the first electrical signal in this case. In other words, only when most of the first protrusion extends into the limiting groove, and the switch unit completes its trigger stroke under the pressure of the trigger unit, can the trigger unit trigger the switch unit to send the first electrical signal. That is to say, only after the limiting groove effectively limits the first protrusion can the trigger unit trigger the switch unit to send the first electrical signal. This avoids the situation where the main body can still move along the second direction after the trigger unit triggers the switch unit to send the first electrical signal, effectively ensuring the anti-accidental touch effect of the button structure.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the main body portion further includes:

[0028] A sensor is disposed on the side of the main body away from the operation part, and the sensor and the trigger part are spaced apart in the second direction;

[0029] The motherboard is equipped with a sensor, and the sensor is configured to trigger the sensor in the second state to generate a second electrical signal.

[0030] Since the mainboard is located in the first direction, and the switch is usually mounted on the mainboard, if the main body moves in the second direction to send an electrical signal through other switches on the mainboard, the movement of the main body in the second direction needs to be converted into movement in the first direction via an additional steering structure, such as a linkage mechanism. However, the movement of the additional steering structure in the first direction may be limited by a limiting structure, making it difficult to achieve effective triggering and also occupying additional space. Therefore, this application adopts a non-contact method, that is, by setting a sensor on the main body and a sensor on the mainboard, the movement of the sensor in the second direction can be detected by the sensor to send a second electrical signal to the mainboard. The main body sends the second electrical signal to the mainboard in a non-contact manner, which reduces the need for a steering structure and reduces the space occupied, making the button structure more suitable for installation in miniaturized electronic devices.

[0031] In some possible implementations, the sensing element is provided with a clearance groove that opens along the first direction, and the clearance groove is disposed adjacent to the main body portion;

[0032] The main body is provided with a second protrusion protruding along the first direction. The second protrusion is at least partially located in the clearance groove. Along the first direction, the bottom surface of the second protrusion is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the clearance groove. The distance between the bottom surface of the second protrusion and the bottom surface of the clearance groove is greater than the trigger stroke of the switch.

[0033] The sensing element has a guide portion at one end away from the main body along the second direction, and the housing has a guide groove corresponding to the guide portion. The guide groove extends along the second direction, and the guide portion is located in the guide groove. The guide groove is configured to guide the sliding of the guide portion in the second direction and restrict the movement of the guide portion along the first direction.

[0034] The sensor is located inside the guide groove.

[0035] On one hand, the main body and the sensor are separated, with the second protrusion on the main body extending into the clearance groove of the sensor, allowing the second protrusion to move in the first direction within the clearance groove. Furthermore, the second protrusion is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the clearance groove in the first direction, such that the distance between the bottom surface of the second protrusion and the bottom surface of the clearance groove is greater than the trigger stroke of the switch. Thus, when the trigger activates the switch, the second protrusion and the bottom surface of the clearance groove still maintain a distance, preventing the second protrusion from driving the sensor to move in the first direction and preventing false triggering of the sensor. In other words, although there is a distance between the second protrusion and the bottom surface of the clearance groove, the trigger has already activated the switch, restricting movement in the first direction. Therefore, even with the distance between the second protrusion and the bottom surface of the clearance groove, the second protrusion cannot continue to move in the first direction; that is, it cannot continue to contact the bottom surface of the groove, preventing the second protrusion from driving the sensor. In addition, the clearance groove has a groove wall surface along the second direction. When the main body moves along the second direction, the second protrusion can contact the groove wall surface of the clearance groove to drive the sensing element to move along the second direction.

[0036] On the other hand, a guide groove is provided on the device body at the position corresponding to the guide part of the sensing element. The guide groove extends along the second direction, and the guide part is located in the guide groove to guide the movement along the second direction. The groove wall of the guide groove can restrict the movement of the guide part in the first direction, so that the sensing element can only move along the second direction, thereby avoiding the sensing element itself from moving along the first direction and causing the sensor to send an incorrect electrical signal.

[0037] In addition, placing the sensor in the guide groove allows the sensor to be closer to the sensing element, making it easier for the sensing element to trigger the sensor when it moves in the second direction.

[0038] In some possible implementations, the side of the main body away from the operating part forms an installation space, the installation space being connected to the receiving space, and the limiting structure being at least partially located in the installation space along the first direction.

[0039] The main body is constructed with an installation space on the side away from the operation, and at least part of the limiting structure is located in the installation space. In this way, while the main body can move relative to the limiting structure in the first direction, the installation space can also accommodate at least part of the limiting structure. This makes the arrangement of the limiting structure and the button structure in the accommodating space of the device body more compact, thereby saving the space occupied by the button structure and the limiting structure in the accommodating space, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization and compact design of electronic devices.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the button assembly further includes:

[0041] An elastic reset member is connected to the main body and the limiting structure, and the elastic reset member is configured to reset the main body when the main body is in the first state or the second state.

[0042] By utilizing the elastic reset element, the button structure can be quickly reset. Furthermore, when the user operates the control unit, the elastic reset element provides noticeable spring force, requiring the user to apply a certain amount of pressure to move the control unit in the first or second direction. This enhances the tactile feedback and reduces the probability of accidental touches. Additionally, the elastic reset element provides elastic feedback when the user operates the control unit, resulting in a better tactile experience when pressing or operating it.

[0043] In some possible implementations, the limiting structure includes:

[0044] A first limiting member, the first limiting member having the limiting groove;

[0045] The second limiting member is located on the side of the first limiting member away from the main body, and a connecting channel is formed between the second limiting member and the first limiting member.

[0046] The elastic reset member is at least partially located in the connecting channel to connect with the first limiting member and the second limiting member, and a portion of the elastic reset member extends out of the connecting channel to connect with the main body.

[0047] The elastic reset member can be fixed through the connecting channel formed between the first and second limiting members. The portion of the elastic reset member extending beyond the connecting channel can connect to the main body. Thus, when the main body moves along the first or second direction, the main body and the limiting structure move relative to each other, compressing the elastic reset member. This allows the elastic reset member to accumulate elastic force in the first or second direction to provide a reset force for the main body. Furthermore, the first limiting member has a limiting groove, and the connecting channel is located between the first and second limiting members, ensuring that the positions of the limiting groove and the connecting channel do not interfere with each other. In other words, when the first protrusion moves within the limiting groove and the elastic reset member is compressed in the connecting channel, the movements of the elastic reset member and the first protrusion do not interfere with each other. This achieves both accidental touch prevention and rapid reset after user operation of the button structure.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the first limiting member includes:

[0049] First sub-section;

[0050] The second sub-part is provided at a distance from the first sub-part along the second direction to form the limiting groove between them;

[0051] The first sub-part and the second sub-part are both spaced apart from the second limiting member to form the connection channel;

[0052] The elastic reset member is a sheet-like body, including a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment, and a third connecting segment connected sequentially along the second direction. The second connecting segment is located in the connecting channel, and the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment extend at least partially out of the connecting channel and are connected to the main body.

[0053] On the one hand, the limiting groove can be formed by setting the first sub-part and the second sub-part separately with intervals. The forming method of the limiting groove is simpler. Moreover, the first sub-part and the second sub-part are formed separately, which makes the forming method simpler. However, when the first sub-part and the second sub-part have the same structure, the same mold can be used, thereby simplifying the design of the forming mold.

[0054] On the other hand, the elastic reset element is a sheet-like body, and when the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment are connected to the main body respectively, the elastic force can be compressed or released along the first direction or the second direction. In other words, by using a sheet-like body, reset in different directions can be achieved using a single elastic reset element, the structural design is simpler, and the number of components can be reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of electronic devices.

[0055] In some possible implementations, the main body is provided with a trigger portion and a third protrusion protruding along a first direction. The trigger portion and the third protrusion are respectively located on both sides of the limiting structure along a second direction. The trigger portion, the main body, and the third protrusion form an installation space, which is connected to the receiving space. Along the first direction, the limiting structure is at least partially located in the installation space.

[0056] Both the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment are constructed as arc-shaped segments. The first connecting segment and the third connecting segment are located in the installation space. The arc apex of the first connecting segment is connected to the main body, and the arc apex of the third connecting segment is connected to the main body. Along the second direction, one end of the first connecting segment abuts against the third protrusion, and / or, one end of the third connecting segment abuts against the trigger portion.

[0057] On one hand, when the main body slides along one side of the second direction, the trigger part abuts against and compresses the third connecting segment along the second direction, at which point the first connecting segment separates from the third protrusion. Similarly, when the main body slides along the other side of the second direction, the third protrusion abuts against and compresses the first connecting segment, at which point the third connecting segment separates from the trigger part. That is, when the main body moves to either side in the second direction, it receives elastic force from either the first or third connecting segment, allowing the user to receive relatively balanced elastic feedback when pushing the operating part to either side while touching it along the second direction, thus improving the touch experience of the button components. Furthermore, when the main body returns to its original position, the first and third connecting segments abut against the third protrusion and the trigger part respectively, and the first and third connecting segments are compressed. These segments provide elastic support to the main body in the second direction, preventing the main body from becoming loose when the user is not sliding it along the second direction.

[0058] On the other hand, when the operating part moves along the first direction, the arc apex of the first connecting section and the arc apex of the third connecting section can form two-point support for the main body, making the main body more stable when compressing the first connecting section and the third connecting section along the first direction. When the main body is reset by releasing the elastic force at two points, the movement of the main body can also be more stable, reducing the shaking of the main body during movement.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0060] In the electronic device disclosed in this application, the button structure moves the main body in different directions in the first and second states, thereby enabling the main body to trigger the motherboard to generate different electrical signals in different states, thus realizing the control of different functions by a single button.

[0061] Building upon this, this application further adds a limiting structure, forming a limiting groove on the limiting structure, and correspondingly, a first protrusion is provided on the main body. Thus, in the first state, the first protrusion can be at least partially located in the limiting groove, thereby restricting the movement of the operating part and the main body in the second direction; while in the second state, the first protrusion can disengage from the limiting groove and abut against the surface of the limiting structure, thereby restricting the movement of the operating part and the main body in the first direction. It is evident that the button structure of the electronic device of this application, when realizing movement in the first direction, can utilize the cooperation of the limiting structure and the first protrusion to prevent movement in other directions besides the first direction. Correspondingly, when realizing movement in the second direction, the cooperation of the limiting structure and the first protrusion can also be used to prevent movement in other directions besides the second direction, thereby preventing accidental triggering of the button structure.

[0062] In addition, when implementing the anti-mistouch function, the main body can be protected against accidental touches in two different directions using only a single limiting structure. The structure is simple and, while ensuring the anti-mistouch effect, it can also simplify the structural design of the button structure, which is conducive to achieving the miniaturization and compact design requirements of electronic devices.

[0077] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] In this application, the terms "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0079] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0080] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0081] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0082] To control different functions, electronic devices typically have buttons on their main body. Examples include mobile phones, tablets, smart glasses, massagers, and mice. These buttons allow users to control different functions by pressing or sliding. In related technologies, multiple buttons are often used to control different functions of an electronic device. Buttons are generally divided into solid-state buttons and physical buttons. Solid-state buttons use capacitive sensing or photoelectric technology. Physical buttons typically protrude from the device's surface for touch control. However, in small electronic devices such as smartwatches and smart glasses, the limited internal space makes it inconvenient to install multiple buttons for various functions. Therefore, some miniaturized electronic devices use a single button to trigger multiple functions.

[0083] For example, miniaturized electronic devices typically employ scroll wheel buttons or solid-state buttons. These buttons can usually trigger multiple functions of the electronic device with a single button through sliding and pressing touches. For instance, the scroll wheel button in a mouse and the solid-state button in true wireless earbuds can both achieve multiple functions with a single button; the scroll wheel can be pressed while scrolling, and the solid-state button can be clicked while sliding touch. However, these two button structures can lead to accidental touches during use, affecting the user experience. For example, the scroll wheel might be pressed down while scrolling, or the solid-state button might be clicked while sliding touch. Furthermore, with scroll wheel buttons, the scroll wheel structure is relatively large, potentially occupying additional space within the electronic device and hindering further miniaturization. With solid-state buttons, the lack of a directly touchable physical button results in poor tactile feedback and can also lead to accidental touches even when not in use.

[0084] Based on this, this application discloses an electronic device that incorporates a button structure within its body. This button structure has a first state and a second state, and in the first and second states, the operating unit moves the main body in different directions. This allows the main body to trigger the motherboard to generate different electrical signals in different states, thereby enabling a single button to control different functions. Furthermore, a limiting structure is provided. In the first state, the limiting structure restricts the button structure's movement along a second direction, and in the second state, it restricts the button structure's movement along a first direction. This prevents the button structure from moving in other directions while performing a function in only one direction, thus preventing accidental button presses.

[0085] In addition, when implementing the anti-mistouch function, the main body can be protected against accidental touches in two different directions using only a single limiting structure. The structure is simple and, while ensuring the anti-mistouch effect, it can also simplify the structural design of the button structure, which is conducive to achieving the miniaturization and compact design requirements of electronic devices.

[0086] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0087] Please see also Figures 1 to 3 This application discloses an electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 disclosed in this application can be smart glasses, mobile phones, tablet computers, portable massagers, or smartwatches, etc.

[0088] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following explanation uses smart glasses as an example of electronic device 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a device body 1 and a motherboard 2, the device body 1 having a receiving space 1a, and the motherboard 2 disposed within the receiving space 1a.

[0090] It is understandable that when the electronic device 100 is smart glasses, the device body 1 can be the frame of the smart glasses. And when the electronic device 100 is, for example, a smartwatch, the device body 1 can be the watch face of the smartwatch.

[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a lens 3, which is a tool for AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) display. The lens 3 can be fixed to the device body 1, or it can be detachably mounted on the device body 1. The lens 3 is used to display image information so that the image information can be projected onto the user's eyes, enabling image interaction with the user.

[0092] It is understood that when the lens 3 is fixed on the device body 1, the fixing method can be embedding on the device body 1, or it can be fixed by adhesive. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0093] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also include, for example, a battery (not shown), disposed in the receiving space 1a and electrically connected to the motherboard 2 to supply power to the motherboard 2.

[0094] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also include electronic components (not shown), such as memory, speaker, camera module, antenna structure, etc., thereby enabling the electronic device 100 to have corresponding functions.

[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the device body 1 is provided with an opening 1b that communicates with the receiving space 1a along a first direction. The opening 1b is an elongated hole that extends along a second direction.

[0096] Understandably, this opening 1b can be used to set up buttons, thereby enabling the use of buttons to control the implementation of different functions of the device body 1. For example, the buttons can control the volume of the speaker, the shooting function of the camera module, and other functions.

[0097] As mentioned above, the device body 1 can be the frame of smart glasses, and the frame typically includes a frame and temples. The frame is used to fix the aforementioned lenses 3, and the temples are typically used to rest on the human ear. Therefore, to facilitate user operation, when the opening 1b is provided on the device body 1, the opening 1b can be located on the temple, specifically on the side of the temple closer to the frame. This allows for easy manual operation without affecting the temple's placement on the ear.

[0098] It is understandable that the first direction mentioned above can be along the width of the temple, while the second direction can be along the length of the temple. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, X indicates the first direction, and Y indicates the second direction, where the first and second directions intersect.

[0099] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a button assembly 4 located in the receiving space 1a, and at least a portion of the button assembly 4 is movably disposed at the opening 1b to facilitate user operation.

[0100] It is understood that when the button assembly 4 is movably disposed at the opening 1b, the button assembly 4 may protrude partially from the opening 1b or may be flush with the surface of the opening 1b, that is, the button assembly 4 is at least partially exposed to the opening 1b so as to facilitate user operation.

[0101] In some embodiments, the button assembly 4 includes a button structure 41, which includes a main body 411 and an operation part 412. The main body 411 is located in the receiving space 1a and is electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The operation part 412 is connected to the main body 411 and is movably disposed at the opening 1b.

[0102] It is understood that the operation part 412 refers to the part that is operated by the user. When the operation part 412 is movably provided at the opening 1b, the operation part 412 may be partially protruding from the opening 1b, or it may be flush with the surface where the opening 1b is located.

[0103] Optionally, the button structure 41 can be a scroll wheel button structure 41 or a raised dot button structure 41.

[0104] In one example, the button structure 41 can be a scroll wheel button structure 41, in which case the main body 411 and the operation part 412 of the scroll wheel button structure 41 can be integrally set.

[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, in another example, the button structure 41 can be a raised button structure 41. In this case, the main body 411 can be a long strip or a long plate extending in the second direction, and the operation part 412 can be a raised dot or a protrusion provided on the long strip or the long plate.

[0106] Considering that the scroll structure of the scroll button structure 41 occupies a lot of space 1a, it is not convenient to set it up in a relatively compact electronic device 100 such as smart glasses. Therefore, this application will use the convex dot button structure 41 as an example for explanation.

[0107] In some embodiments, the button structure 41 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the operating part 412 can move along a first direction to drive the main body 411 to move along the first direction and generate a first electrical signal. In the second state, the operating part 412 can move along a second direction to drive the main body 411 to move along the second direction and generate a second electrical signal, wherein the second electrical signal is different from the first electrical signal.

[0108] For example, when the operating part 412 moves in the first direction, that is, when the user presses the operating part 412, the main body part 411 moves in the first direction. When the operating part 412 moves in the second direction, it may be that the user pushes the operating part 412 to slide back and forth in the second direction.

[0109] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the button assembly 4 further includes a limiting structure 42, which is disposed on the device body 1 and located in the receiving space 1a. The limiting structure 42 is disposed corresponding to the main body portion 411 and located on the side of the main body portion 411 away from the operation portion 412. The limiting structure 42 has a limiting groove 42a with an opening facing the main body portion 411. The main body portion 411 has a first protrusion 413 protruding towards the limiting structure 42. In a first state, the first protrusion 413 is at least partially located in the limiting groove 42a to restrict the movement of the operation portion 412 and the main body portion 411 in a second direction. In a second state, the first protrusion 413 disengages from the limiting groove 42a and can abut against the surface of the limiting structure 42 with the limiting groove 42a to restrict the movement of the main body portion 411 in a first direction.

[0110] This application allows the button structure 41 to move in both a first and a second direction. For example, when the button structure 41 moves in the first direction, it can be a pressing operation, generating a first electrical signal to power on / off the smart glasses. When the button structure 41 moves in the second direction, it can be a sliding operation, generating a second electrical signal to control functions such as volume control of the smart glasses.

[0111] Of course, it is understandable that, as another example, the first electrical signal described above can also be used to control the shooting function of the camera module by the motherboard 2. Similarly, the second electrical signal can also be used to control, for example, the shooting function of the camera module, the power on / off function of the smart glasses, or the ringing mode switching of the smart glasses, etc., as long as the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal are used to control the smart glasses to perform different functions by the motherboard 2. This embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0112] When the button structure 41 of this application moves along the first direction, the first protrusion 413 on the main body 411 extends into the limiting groove 42a of the limiting structure 42. Since the limiting groove 42a can only allow the first protrusion 413 to move in the first direction, that is, the groove wall of the limiting groove 42a restricts the first protrusion 413 from moving in the second direction. In this way, when the main body 411 moves in the first direction, it cannot move in the second direction at the same time, so that a second electrical signal can be generated at the same time as the first electrical signal, resulting in accidental touch. When the button structure 41 moves along the second direction, the main body 411 moves along the second direction as a whole. The position of the first protrusion 413 deviates from the limiting groove 42a. If the main body 411 moves along the first direction during the movement of the first protrusion 413 along the second direction, the first protrusion 413 cannot extend into the limiting groove 42a because it deviates from the limiting groove 42a. Furthermore, the first protrusion 413 is blocked by the surface of the limiting structure 42, preventing the main body 411 from moving along the first direction. This avoids the main body 411 from accidentally sending the first electrical signal when sending the second electrical signal.

[0113] In other words, when the button structure 41 of the electronic device 100 of this application performs an action in the first direction, the cooperation between the limiting structure 42 and the first protrusion 413 can be used to prevent actions in other directions besides the first direction. Correspondingly, when performing an action in the second direction, the cooperation between the limiting structure 42 and the first protrusion 413 can also be used to prevent actions in other directions besides the second direction, thereby preventing accidental touches of the button structure 41.

[0114] In addition, when implementing the anti-mistouch function, the main body 411 can be protected against mis-touch in two different directions by using only a single limiting structure 42. The structure is simple and, while ensuring the anti-mistouch effect, it can also simplify the structural design of the button structure 41, which is conducive to achieving the miniaturization and compactness design requirements of the electronic device 100.

[0115] Optionally, the first protrusion 413 may be a protrusion strip, a protrusion block, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0116] In some embodiments, the main body 411 is configured with an installation space 1c on the side opposite to the operation part 412. The installation space 1c is connected to the receiving space 1a. Along the first direction, the limiting structure 42 is at least partially located in the installation space 1c.

[0117] For example, when the mounting space 1c is constructed on the side of the main body 411 away from the operation, at least part of the limiting structure 42 is located in the mounting space 1c. In this way, while the main body 411 can move relative to the limiting structure 42 in the first direction, at least part of the limiting structure 42 can also be accommodated in the mounting space 1c. This makes the arrangement of the limiting structure 42 and the button structure 41 in the accommodating space 1a of the device body 1 more compact, thereby saving the space occupied by the button structure 41 and the limiting structure 42 in the accommodating space 1a, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization and compact design of the electronic device 100.

[0118] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the main body 411 is provided with a trigger part 414, and the motherboard 2 is provided with a switch part 21. The trigger part 414 extends along a first direction to approach the motherboard 2, and the trigger part 414 is spaced apart from the first protrusion 413 and the limiting structure 42 in a second direction. The switch part 21 is electrically connected to the motherboard 2. In the first state, the main body 411 moves along the first direction to bring the trigger part 414 close to the switch part 21 and trigger the switch part 21 to send a first electrical signal to the motherboard 2.

[0119] On the one hand, when the main body 411 moves along the first direction, since the first protrusion 413 acts as a limiter in the second direction, an additional trigger 414 is needed to trigger the switch 21 on the main board 2 to send a first electrical signal. On the other hand, by spacing the trigger 414 along the second direction from the first protrusion 413 and the limiting structure 42, interference from the limiting structure 42 on the movement of the trigger 414 is avoided, thus preventing the trigger 414 from triggering the switch 21 to send the first electrical signal. This ensures that in the first state, the trigger 414 can trigger the switch 21 to generate the first electrical signal, while also preventing interference from the limiting structure 42 on the movement of the trigger 414.

[0120] It is understood that the triggering part 414 may be a strip plate, a column plate, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0121] Optionally, the switch 21 may be a mechanical button, an infrared button, or a piezoelectric button, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0122] In some embodiments, the limiting structure 42 has a limiting groove 42a surface as a first surface 42b, and along the first direction, the distance from the first protrusion 413 to the first surface 42b is less than the trigger stroke of the switch portion 21.

[0123] For example, when the triggering part 414 is connected to the triggering part 414 along the first direction and the switch part 21 is not triggered to send the first electrical signal, the distance between the first protrusion 413 and the first surface 42b of the limiting structure 42 is less than the trigger stroke of the switch part 21. For example, when the first protrusion 413 extends into the limiting groove 42a, since most of the first protrusion 413 is still outside the limiting groove 42a, that is, the portion of the first protrusion 413 extending into the limiting groove 42a is very limited, in this case, the triggering part 414 cannot trigger the switch part 21 to send the first electrical signal, thus preventing the limiting groove 42a from unstablely limiting the first protrusion 413. In other words, only when most of the first protrusion 413 extends into the limiting groove 42a can the trigger part 414 trigger the switch part 21 to send the first electrical signal after the trigger part 414 completes the trigger stroke under the pressure of the trigger part 414. That is to say, the trigger part 414 can only trigger the switch part 21 to send the first electrical signal after the limiting groove 42a effectively limits the first protrusion 413. This avoids the situation where the main body part 411 can still move in the second direction after the trigger part 414 triggers the switch part 21 to send the first electrical signal, effectively ensuring the anti-accidental touch effect of the button structure 41.

[0124] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the button assembly 4 further includes a sensor 43. The sensor 43 is disposed on the side of the main body 411 opposite to the operation part 412, and the sensor 43 and the trigger part 414 are spaced apart in the second direction. The motherboard 2 is provided with a sensor 22, and the sensor 43 is disposed corresponding to the sensor 22. In the second state, the sensor 22 is configured to send a second electrical signal to the motherboard 2 when it senses the sensor 43.

[0125] Since the motherboard 2 is positioned in the first direction and the switch part 21 is mounted on the motherboard 2, if the main body 411 moves in the second direction to send an electrical signal through other switch parts 21 on the motherboard 2, it is necessary to add an additional steering structure, such as a linkage mechanism, to the main body 411 to change the movement direction in the second direction to the movement in the first direction, so as to trigger the switch part 21 on the motherboard 2. However, the movement of the additional steering structure in the first direction may be limited by the limiting structure 42, making it difficult to achieve effective triggering and also occupying additional accommodating space 1a. Therefore, this application adopts a non-contact method, that is, by setting a sensing element 43 on the main body 411 and a sensor 22 on the motherboard 2, the sensor 22 can sense the movement of the sensing element 43 in the second direction to send a second electrical signal to the motherboard 2. The main body 411 sends the second electrical signal to the motherboard 2 in a non-contact manner, reducing the physical structure and the occupation of accommodating space 1a, so that the button structure 41 is more suitable for installation in a miniaturized electronic device 100.

[0126] Optionally, the sensor 22 may be a Hall sensor, an infrared sensor, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0127] It is understandable that when sensor 22 is a Hall sensor, sensing element 43 can be a magnetic element.

[0128] For example, when sensor 22 is a Hall sensor, the Hall sensor is in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic component. When the current of the motherboard 2 passes through the Hall sensor, the Hall sensor generates a potential difference. When the magnetic component moves along the second direction, for example, when the magnetic component slides towards both sides of the second direction, the magnetic field applied to the Hall sensor by the magnetic component changes differently. When the magnetic component moves away from the Hall sensor, the effect of the magnetic field on the Hall sensor weakens, the potential difference generated by the Hall sensor decreases, and the Hall sensor sends a second electrical signal to the motherboard 2, for example, to decrease the speaker volume. When the magnetic component moves closer to the Hall sensor, the effect of the magnetic field on the Hall sensor increases, the potential difference generated by the Hall sensor increases, and the Hall sensor sends another second electrical signal to the motherboard 2, for example, to increase the speaker volume.

[0129] Please see Figure 6 Optionally, the sensing element 43 is provided with a clearance groove 431 that opens in the first direction, and the clearance groove 431 is disposed adjacent to the main body portion 411. The main body portion 411 is provided with a second protrusion 415 that protrudes in the first direction, and the second protrusion 415 is at least partially located in the clearance groove 431.

[0130] For example, when the main body 411 moves along the first direction, to prevent the main body 411 from driving the sensor 43 to move along the first direction and causing the sensor 43 to trigger the sensor 22, the main body 411 and the sensor 43 are separated. That is, the second protrusion 415 on the main body 411 extends into the relief groove 431 of the sensor 43, so that the second protrusion 415 can move along the first direction in the relief groove 431. The second protrusion 415 and the sensor 43 are separated in the first direction to prevent the second protrusion 415 from driving the sensor 43 to move along the first direction.

[0131] Optionally, the second protrusion 415 may be block-shaped, column-shaped, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0132] Optionally, along the first direction, the bottom surface of the second protrusion 415 and the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431 are spaced apart, and the distance between the bottom surface of the second protrusion 415 and the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431 is greater than the trigger stroke of the switch part 21.

[0133] In one example, the second protrusion 415 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431 in the first direction, such that the distance from the bottom surface of the second protrusion 415 to the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431 is greater than the trigger stroke of the switch part 21. Thus, when the trigger part 414 triggers the switch part 21, the second protrusion 415 and the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431 still have a gap, preventing the second protrusion 415 from driving the sensor 43 to move in the first direction, thus preventing the sensor 43 from triggering the sensor 22 and causing a false trigger. Although there is a gap between the second protrusion 415 and the bottom surface of the clearance groove 431, the trigger part 414 has already triggered the switch part 21, and the movement in the first direction is restricted by the switch part 21. Although there is still a gap, the second protrusion 415 cannot continue to move in the first direction; that is, the second protrusion 415 cannot continue to contact the bottom surface of the groove, preventing the second protrusion 415 from driving the sensor 43 to move.

[0134] In another example, the clearance groove 431 has a groove wall surface along the second direction. When the main body 411 moves along the second direction, the second protrusion 415 can contact the groove wall surface of the clearance groove 431 to drive the sensing element 43 to move along the second direction.

[0135] Optionally, in the second direction, the first protrusion 413, the trigger portion 414, and the second protrusion 415 are arranged at intervals in sequence.

[0136] The sequential and spaced arrangement of the first protrusion 413, the trigger part 414, and the second protrusion 415 in this application not only avoids interference between the movement of the first protrusion 413, the trigger part 414, and the second protrusion 415, thus effectively realizing the functions of each part, but also simplifies the structural design of the main body 411, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100.

[0137] Optionally, the sensing element 43 is provided with a guide portion 432 at one end away from the main body portion 411 along the second direction, and the device body 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 corresponding to the guide portion 432. The guide groove 11 extends along the second direction, and the guide portion 432 is located in the guide groove 11. The guide groove 11 is configured to guide the movement of the guide portion 432 along the second direction while restricting the movement of the guide portion 432 along the first direction.

[0138] For example, a guide groove 11 is provided on the device body 1 at the position corresponding to the guide portion 432 of the sensing element 43. The guide groove 11 extends along the second direction, and the guide portion 432 is located in the guide groove 11 to guide the movement along the second direction. The groove wall of the guide groove 11 can restrict the movement of the guide portion 432 in the first direction, so that the sensing element 43 can only move along the second direction, thereby avoiding the sensing element 43 itself from moving along the first direction and causing the sensor 22 to send an incorrect electrical signal.

[0139] Optionally, the guide section 432 may be in the form of a long strip or a column, and this application does not make a specific limitation.

[0140] Optionally, the sensor 22 is located in the guide groove 11 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 2. When the sensing element 43 moves in the second direction, the sensing element 43 moves relative to the sensor 22.

[0141] It is understandable that a sensor 22 can be provided in the guide groove 11, so that the sensor 22 is closer to the sensing element 43, and the sensing element 43 is more sensitive to triggering the sensor 22 to send a second electrical signal. When the sensing element 43 moves along the second direction, it is easier for the sensing element 43 to trigger the sensor 22.

[0142] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the button assembly 4 further includes an elastic reset member 44, which is connected to the main body 411 and the limiting structure 42. The elastic reset member 44 is configured to reset the main body 411 when the main body 411 is in a first state or a second state.

[0143] When the main body 411 is in the first or second state, the elastic reset member 44 is compressed, and the main body 411 needs to return to its original state. That is, when the main body 411 is neither moving in the first direction nor in the second direction, the elastic reset member 44 releases its elastic force, causing the main body 411 to return to its original state. After the main body 411 returns to its original state, it is convenient for the user to control the state of the main body 411 again. By using the elastic reset member 44, on the one hand, the button structure 41 can be quickly reset; on the other hand, when the user touches the operation part 412, the elastic reset member 44 can provide obvious elastic force to the user. The user needs to use a certain amount of force to make the operation part 412 move in the first or second direction, making the user's touch feel obvious and reducing the probability of accidental touch. In addition, the elastic reset member 44 can also provide elastic feedback when the user operates the operation part 412, making the user's pressing or operation of the operation part 412 feel better.

[0144] In one example, when the user presses the operating part 412 in the first direction, the main body 411 compresses the elastic reset member 44. When the user releases the operating part 412, the elastic reset member 44 releases its elastic force and pushes the main body 411 to reset in the first direction.

[0145] In another example, when the user pushes the operating part 412 in the second direction, the main body 411 compresses the elastic reset member 44. When the user releases the operating part 412, the elastic reset member 44 releases its elastic force and pushes the main body 411 to reset in the second direction.

[0146] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the limiting structure 42 includes a first limiting member 421 and a second limiting member 422. The first limiting member 421 has a limiting groove 42a. The second limiting member 422 is located on the side of the first limiting member 421 opposite to the main body portion 411, and a connecting channel 42c is formed between the second limiting member 422 and the first limiting member 421. The elastic reset member 44 is at least partially located in the connecting channel 42c to connect with the first limiting member 421 and the second limiting member 422, and a portion of the elastic reset member 44 extends out of the connecting channel 42c and connects to the main body portion 411.

[0147] It is understandable that the first limiting member 421 is provided with a limiting groove 42a, and the connecting channel 42c is located between the first limiting member 421 and the second limiting member 422, so that the positions of the limiting groove 42a and the connecting channel 42c do not interfere with each other. That is to say, when the first protrusion 413 moves in the limiting groove 42a and the elastic reset member 44 is compressed in the connecting channel 42c, the movement of the elastic reset member 44 and the first protrusion 413 do not interfere with each other, so as to facilitate the movement of the main body 411 and the compression of the elastic reset member 44, thereby achieving the prevention of accidental touch and also enabling the user to quickly reset the button structure 41 after operation.

[0148] For example, the elastic reset member 44 can be fixed by the connecting channel 42c formed between the first limiting member 421 and the second limiting member 422 to prevent displacement when the elastic reset member 44 is compressed. The portion of the elastic reset member 44 extending out of the connecting channel 42c can be connected to the main body 411, so that when the main body 411 moves in the first direction or the second direction, the main body 411 and the limiting structure 42 move relative to each other to compress the elastic reset member 44, so that the elastic reset member 44 can accumulate in the first direction or the second direction to provide elastic force for the main body 411 to reset.

[0149] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first limiting member 421 includes a first sub-part 421a and a second sub-part 421b, the second sub-part 421b and the first sub-part 421a being spaced apart along a second direction to form a limiting groove 42a between them.

[0150] On the one hand, the limiting groove 42a is formed by the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b of the first limiting member 421. That is, the limiting groove 42a is formed by two sub-parts spaced apart. The first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b can be formed separately, making the forming method simpler. If the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b are integrally formed to form the limiting groove 42a, a connection may be formed between the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b, which requires additional materials and may increase costs. Moreover, while the forming method is simpler when the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b have the same structure, the same mold can be used, thereby simplifying the design of the forming mold.

[0151] For example, when the two sub-parts are injection molded on the device body 1 respectively, a gap is formed between the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b, and the gap forms a limiting groove 42a. Therefore, there is no need to process the limiting groove 42a separately, which helps to save processing steps.

[0152] For example, such as Figure 8 For example, the first sub-part 421a and the second sub-part 421b can be, for example, "L"-shaped plates, with the two "L"-shaped plates arranged opposite each other to form a limiting groove 42a between them. The second limiting part can be, for example, a "U"-shaped plate, with the side plate of the "U"-shaped plate spaced apart from the side plate of the "L"-shaped plate to limit the position of the elastic reset member 44 between the first limiting member 421 and the second limiting member 422.

[0153] In some embodiments, the elastic reset member 44 may be a spring or a sheet spring. The following description uses a sheet spring as an example of the elastic reset member 44.

[0154] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the elastic reset member 44 is a sheet-like body, including a first connecting segment 441, a second connecting segment 442 and a third connecting segment 443 connected sequentially along a second direction. The second connecting segment 442 is located in the connecting channel 42c, and the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 extend at least partially out of the connecting channel 42c and are connected to the main body 411.

[0155] For example, when the elastic reset member 44 is a sheet-like body, that is, the elastic reset member 44 can be a spring sheet, and when the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are connected to the main body 411, they can compress or release elastic force in the first direction or the second direction. If the elastic reset member 44 is spring-shaped, a single spring can usually only compress and release in one direction. If the elastic reset member 44 wants to achieve the reset of the main body 411 in the first direction or the second direction, multiple springs may need to be provided, which may occupy more accommodating space 1a, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100. In other words, by using a sheet-like body, a single elastic reset member 44 can achieve reset in different directions, the structural design is simpler, and the number of components can be reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100.

[0156] Please see also Figures 7 to 10 In some embodiments, the main body 411 is provided with a third protrusion 416, and the trigger part 414 and the third protrusion 416 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the limiting structure 42 along the second direction. The trigger part 414, the main body 411 and the third protrusion 416 form an installation space 1c, which is connected to the receiving space 1a. In the first direction, the limiting structure 42 is at least partially located in the installation space 1c.

[0157] Since the elastic reset member 44 is installed on the limiting structure 42, when the limiting structure 42 is located in the installation space 1c, the elastic reset member 44 can extend into the installation space 1c and connect with the main body 411. The installation space 1c constructed by the trigger part 414, the main body 411 and the third protrusion 416 can provide the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 with a space for compression and reset.

[0158] Optionally, the third protrusion 416 may be block-shaped, column-shaped, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0159] Optionally, both the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are constructed as arc-shaped segments. The first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are located in the installation space 1c. The arc apex of the first connecting segment 441 is connected to the main body 411, and the arc apex of the third connecting segment 443 is connected to the main body 411. Along the second direction, one end of the first connecting segment 441 abuts against the third protrusion 416, and / or, one end of the third connecting segment 443 abuts against the trigger portion 414.

[0160] In one example, when the main body 411 reciprocates along the second direction, both the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 located in the mounting space 1c can be compressed or released. That is, when the main body 411 moves to either side in the second direction, it receives elastic force from either the first connecting segment 441 or the third connecting segment 443. This allows the user to receive relatively balanced elastic force feedback when pushing the operation unit 412 to either side while touching it along the second direction, which is beneficial for improving the touch experience of the button assembly 4. For example, as Figure 11 As illustrated, when the main body 411 slides along one side of the second direction, the trigger portion 414 abuts against and compresses the third connecting segment 443 along the second direction, at which point the first connecting segment 441 separates from the third protrusion 416. It is understood that when the main body 411 slides along the other side of the second direction, the third protrusion 416 abuts against and compresses the first connecting segment 441, at which point the third connecting segment 443 separates from the trigger portion 414.

[0161] It is understandable that when the main body 411 is reset, the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 abut against the third protrusion 416 and the trigger part 414 respectively, and the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are compressed. The first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 can provide elastic support for the main body 411 in the second direction, preventing the main body 411 from shaking when the user does not slide the main body 411 in the second direction.

[0162] In another example, when the operating part 412 moves along the first direction, the arc apex of the first connecting segment 441 and the arc apex of the third connecting segment 443 can provide two-point support for the main body 411, making the main body 411 more stable when compressing the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 along the first direction. When the main body 411 is reset by releasing the elastic force at two points, the movement of the main body 411 can also be more stable, reducing the shaking of the main body 411 when moving along the first direction.

[0163] It is understandable that, such as Figure 9 As an example, when the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are constructed as arcs, the apex of the arc of the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 can be the uppermost position of the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 along the first direction. When the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 are connected to the main body 411, the uppermost position of the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 along the first direction contacts the main body 411, that is, this position is the "apex of the arc".

[0164] It is understandable that if either the first connecting segment 441 or the third connecting segment 443 fails, the other can provide elasticity to the main body 411 for compression or reset. In other words, the first connecting segment 441 can be provided only in the mounting space 1c, or the third connecting segment 443 can be provided in the mounting space 1c, or the first connecting segment 441 and the third connecting segment 443 can be provided on both sides of the mounting space 1c along the second direction respectively.
