Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button technology, and in particular to a button with a reliable structure. Background Technology
[0002] Buttons are common control devices widely used for turning various types of equipment on and off, as well as for function selection. However, in practical applications, due to the varying usage frequencies of different buttons on different devices, the effective lifespan of buttons on the same device cannot be uniform. For conventional button devices, the internal silicone button base, subjected to long-term, high-frequency, repetitive up-and-down pressure, causes premature damage to the central silicone layer, leading to uneven force distribution and potentially causing button device malfunction. Because the silicone button base is small and located inside the button, replacement and repair are difficult if the internal silicone button base is damaged and rendered unusable.

The outer upper shell and the button base are also provided with pressing springs, and the lower outer end of the button base is also inserted with a conductive connector.
[0004] Optionally, multiple protruding limiting blocks are provided around the outer perimeter of the outer upper housing.

At the same time, it reduces the noise generated by frictional contact during the overall reciprocating pressing of the pressing kit, making the button operation nearly silent. In addition, a clearance cavity is formed between the upper outer part of the raised buffer pad and the outer upper shell, creating a relatively spacious buffer space, reducing the wear of the overall components and increasing the service life of the pressing kit.
[0015] Furthermore, multiple protruding limiting blocks are set on the outer upper shell to constrain and limit the four periphery of the pressing kit 1. Through the coordinated action of the first protruding buckle and the second protruding buckle, the button base is locked and fixed to the outer upper shell, resulting in better overall locking stability.

The upper part of the outer upper housing 2 is provided with a pressing kit 1, and the lower part of the pressing kit 1 is provided with a raised buffer pad 101. The raised buffer pad 101 is higher than the upper edge of the outer upper housing 2 and is used to buffer the pressing kit 1 when it moves up and down, reducing the compression of the internal silicone. The outer upper housing 2 and the button base 3 are also provided with pressing springs 5. The lower outer end of the button base 3 is also connected to a conductive connector 4.
[0029] The outer upper shell 2 is provided with a plurality of protruding limiting blocks 201 around its perimeter. The protruding limiting blocks 201 are used to engage with the perimeter of the limiting pressing kit 1 and to constrain the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the limiting pressing kit 1, causing the silicone around the perimeter to deform and shift outward.
[0030] The lower outer part of the raised buffer pad 101 is close to the inner edge of the outer upper shell 2, and a clearance cavity is formed between the upper outer part of the raised buffer pad 101 and the outer upper shell 2, giving the raised buffer pad 101 more buffer space.
[0031] At the center positions corresponding to the outer periphery of the button base 3, a first protruding buckle 301 and a second protruding buckle 302 are respectively provided. The length of the second protruding buckle 302 is greater than that of the first protruding buckle 301. The first protruding buckle 301 and the second protruding buckle 302 are respectively engaged and fixed to the outer periphery opening of the outer upper shell 2.
[0032] The first protruding buckle 301 and the second protruding buckle 302 are provided with multiple vertical base reinforcing ribs 303 on their sides.
[0033] The pressing spring 5 includes a central force-bearing protrusion 501, and a plurality of support feet 502 are provided around the central force-bearing protrusion 501. The vertical height of the central force-bearing protrusion 501 is greater than the vertical height of the support feet 502, and the support feet 502 abut against the upper part of the conductive connector 4.
[0034] The conductive connector 4 further includes a conductive block 401 and a conductive support block 402.

The vertical heights of the conductive block 401 and the conductive support block 402 are equal.
[0035] The pressing spring 5 is designed symmetrically about the center point. The outer upper shell 2 is integrally stamped.
[0036] In this embodiment, a raised buffer pad is provided on the pressing kit, which reduces the compression of the internal silicone during the reciprocating pressing process, thereby minimizing the compression wear of the pressing kit. In addition, a clearance cavity is formed between the upper outer part of the raised buffer pad and the outer upper shell, creating a relatively spacious buffer space, reducing the wear of the overall component and improving the service life of the pressing kit.
[0037] Furthermore, multiple protruding limiting blocks are set on the outer upper shell to constrain and limit the four periphery of the pressing kit 1. Through the coordinated action of the first protruding buckle and the second protruding buckle, the button base is locked and fixed to the outer upper shell, resulting in better overall locking stability.
[0038] Multiple vertical base reinforcing ribs 303 are provided on the sides of the first protruding buckle 301 and the second protruding buckle 302. The purpose of providing multiple reinforcing ribs 303 is, on the one hand, to reduce the overall weight of the button base 3, and on the other hand, the multiple reinforcing ribs 303 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction to improve the horizontal bending resistance of the button base 3.
