[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a housing assembly 1, which includes a housing 11 and a button 12. The button 12 is disposed on the housing 11 and is movable relative to the housing 11. When the button 12 is pressed, it triggers the switching element of the control board 2.

[0029] For the aforementioned housing 11, please refer to Figure 3 The housing 11 includes a base plate 111, a first side plate 112, a second side plate 113, and a cover 114. The first side plate 112 is connected to one side of the base plate 111, the second side plate 113 is connected to the other side of the base plate 111, and the cover 114 is connected to the base plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the second side plate 113. The cover 114, the base plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the second side plate 113 together form an accommodating cavity 115.

[0030] The first side plate 112 is provided with an opening 1121, a latch 1122, a limiting part 1123, and a positioning post 1124. The opening 1121 communicates with the receiving cavity 115. The latch 1122, the limiting part 1123, and the positioning post 1124 are all extended from the surface of the first side plate 112 facing the second side plate 113.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first side panel 112 is made of plastic. Furthermore, the bottom plate 111, the second side panel 113, and the cover 114 are all made of plastic.

[0032] For button 12 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 4 The button 12 includes a fixing member 121, a pressing member 122, an abutting ring edge 123, and several elastic arms 124. The fixing member 121 is received in the receiving cavity 115 and engages with the hook 1122 to fix the button 12 to the housing 11. The fixing member 121 abuts against the limiting part 1123. The engagement of the fixing member 121 with the hook 1122 facilitates the installation and removal of the button 12, thereby facilitating product maintenance and improving production efficiency. The abutting between the fixing member 121 and the limiting part 1123 prevents the fixing member 121 from shaking. The pressing member 122 is received in the receiving cavity 115, and one end of the pressing member 122 is inserted into the opening 1121. The pressing member 122 can move relative to the fixing member 121 and is used for user pressing operation. The abutment ring 123 is received in the receiving cavity 115 and fixed to the side wall of the pressing member 122. The abutment ring 123 is used to abut against the side wall of the receiving cavity 115. The elastic arm 124 is connected to the fixing member 121 and the abutment ring 123. The elastic arm 124 is used to provide elastic force to reset the pressing member 122.

[0033] The fastener 121 is ring-shaped and has a positioning groove on the fourth side. The positioning groove is for the positioning post 1124 to be inserted into, so as to prevent the button 12 from being fooled.

[0034] In some embodiments, there are two hooks 1122 and two limiting portions 1123. One hook 1122 engages with the first side of the fixing member 121, and the other hook 1122 engages with the second side of the fixing member 121. One limiting portion 1123 abuts against the third side of the fixing member 121, and the other limiting portion 1123 abuts against the fourth side of the fixing member 121. The first side and the second side are opposite to each other, and the third side and the fourth side are opposite to each other. With the above structure, the fixing member 121 is more securely fixed.

[0035] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first side plate 112 does not have a limiting part 1123, and the number of hooks 1122 is four, with the first side, second side, third side and fourth side each hooked with one hook 1122.

[0036] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first side plate 112 is not provided with a hook 1122, but is provided with a slot, and the fastener 121 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, which snaps into the slot so that the fastener 121 is fixed to the housing 11.

[0037] The pressing member 122 is provided with a receiving groove and a trigger post. The receiving groove is provided on the surface of the pressing member 122 facing the second side plate 113. The trigger post is received in the receiving groove and is cross-shaped. The trigger post is used to trigger the switching element of the control board 2. By receiving the trigger post in the receiving groove, the space occupied by the pressing member 122 is reduced.

[0038] In some embodiments, the surface of the pressing member 122 facing away from the second side plate 113 is arc-shaped, which increases the contact area between the user's fingers and the surface of the pressing member 122 facing away from the second side plate 113 during the pressing operation, reduces the pressure applied by the user, and improves the user experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, the elastic arm 124 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped elastic arm 124 surrounds the edge of the abutment ring, which facilitates the deformation of the elastic arm 124, thereby facilitating the user to press the pressing member 122.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of elastic arms 124 is four, namely a first elastic arm 124, a second elastic arm 124, a third elastic arm 124 and a fourth elastic arm 124. The first elastic arm 124 is connected to a first side, the second elastic arm 124 is connected to a second side, the third elastic arm 124 is connected to a third side, and the fourth elastic arm is connected to a fourth side.

[0041] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 1 includes a housing and a button 12. The housing 11 has a receiving cavity 115, an opening 1121, and a latch 1122. The opening 1121 communicates with the receiving cavity 115. The button 12 includes a fixing member 121 and a pressing member 122. The fixing member 121 is connected to the pressing member 122. Both the fixing member 121 and the pressing member 122 are received in the receiving cavity 115, and one end of the pressing member 122 is inserted into the opening 1121. The pressing member 122 can move relative to the fixing member 121. The fixing member 121 is engaged with the latch 1122. By engaging the fixing member with the latch 1122, the button 12 is fixed to the housing 11, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the button 12, thereby facilitating product maintenance and improving production efficiency.

[0042] This application also provides an embodiment of an electronic device 100, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5The electronic device 100 includes a control board 2, a switch and the aforementioned housing assembly 1. The control board 2 and the switch are both housed in the receiving cavity 115. The control board 2 is electrically connected to the switch. The structure and function of the housing assembly 1 can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.
