Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone buttons for controllers, and in particular to an edge reinforcement structure for preventing warping of silicone buttons. Background Technology

[0002] Silicone buttons are elastic buttons made of silicone through molding and vulcanization. They have a soft touch, are wear-resistant, and waterproof and dustproof, and are widely used in electronic devices, remote controls, medical devices, and other products. Silicone button edge banding enhances edge strength, improves lifespan, and enhances appearance. The reinforced edge banding structure mainly consists of a silicone body, edge banding strips, and reinforcing ribs. The edge banding strips wrap around the edges, and the reinforcing ribs improve toughness, together ensuring the stability of the button structure.

[0003] In use, the silicone button body is first molded, then reinforcing ribs are embedded, and finally, the edge banding is tightly fitted to the edge using a molding process to complete assembly. The operation process is simple and efficient, significantly improving the durability and reliability of the buttons and providing a stable button interaction experience for various devices.

[0004] In existing technologies, some silicone buttons lack sufficient edge tensile strength and effective reinforcement measures, making them difficult to withstand external impacts and scratches. Furthermore, the simple positioning and locking methods during installation allow for lateral movement of the buttons, leading to instability within the housing. Additionally, the edges are prone to warping and deformation. These defects result in poor structural stability and a short lifespan for silicone buttons, failing to guarantee long-term reliable operation and impacting user experience and overall device performance. Therefore, an edge-reinforcing and anti-warping structure for silicone buttons is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a silicone button edge anti-warping reinforcement edge structure, including a silicone substrate 1. The silicone substrate 1 is the basic load-bearing component of the entire button structure, providing an installation position for the silicone button 2. It works with the anti-warping reinforcement mechanism to ensure structural stability and also uses a waterproof protrusion 9 to ensure normal use of the button in different environments. It has good flexibility and elasticity, and can maintain its shape stability and is not easily damaged during repeated pressing. The top of the silicone substrate 1 is fixedly connected to the silicone button 2. The silicone button 2 is a user operation component, which conforms to ergonomic design, has a comfortable touch and is non-slip, can withstand frequent pressing, and ensures sensitive and stable triggering function. It works with the overall structure to ensure normal use of the button. The outer side of the silicone substrate 1 is fixedly connected to the anti-warping reinforcement mechanism, and the outer side of the silicone button 2 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip protection mechanism.

[0034] The anti-warping reinforcement mechanism includes a reinforcing tensile edge 11, which enhances the tensile strength of the edge of the silicone substrate 1, preventing edge deformation and warping due to external pulling or long-term pressing during use. When the button is subjected to lateral tension, the reinforcing tensile edge 11 can disperse the tension, preventing tearing or warping of the edge of the silicone substrate 1. The outer side of the reinforcing tensile edge 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the silicone substrate 1. A metal protective sleeve 12 is fitted on the outer side of the reinforcing tensile edge 11 to further enhance the protection of the edge of the silicone substrate 1, preventing it from being damaged by collisions or scratches from external sharp objects. It can also provide additional support for the entire button structure, effectively suppressing the warping deformation of the edge of the silicone substrate 1. The outer side of the metal protective sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing. A locking positioning component is fixedly connected to the top of the silicone substrate 1.

[0035] The locking and positioning component includes an anti-shift locking protrusion 8. The anti-shift locking protrusion 8 cooperates with the inner structure of the housing to achieve precise locking and positioning, effectively preventing the silicone substrate 1 from moving laterally, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of button operation. The bottom of the anti-shift locking protrusion 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the silicone substrate 1, and the outer side of the anti-shift locking protrusion 8 is slidably connected to the inner side of the housing.

[0036] A waterproof protrusion 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the silicone substrate 1. The waterproof protrusion 9 has good elasticity and sealing performance. It works in conjunction with the sealing groove on the housing. When the silicone substrate 1 is installed into the housing, the waterproof protrusion 9 will be tightly embedded in the sealing groove to form an effective waterproof barrier to prevent moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the button and affecting the normal use of the button. The outer side of the waterproof protrusion 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sealing groove of the housing.

[0037] An upper adhesive sheet 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the silicone substrate 1. The upper adhesive sheet 10 can further enhance the connection stability between the silicone substrate 1 and the shell. During installation, the upper adhesive sheet 10 is tightly attached to the inner surface of the shell, and provides additional fixing force through its adhesiveness to prevent the silicone substrate 1 from loosening or shifting inside the shell. At the same time, the upper adhesive sheet 10 can also fill the tiny gaps between the silicone substrate 1 and the shell to a certain extent, improving the sealing of the overall structure. The top of the upper adhesive sheet 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell.

[0038] The top of the silicone substrate 1 is provided with a positioning recess 7, which cooperates with the anti-shifting engagement protrusion 8 to provide positioning guidance, ensure precise engagement, and make the silicone substrate 1 accurately positioned in the housing, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and stability of the button. The outer side of the anti-shifting engagement protrusion 8 is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning recess 7.

[0039] An extension locking protrusion 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the silicone substrate 1. When the button is installed, the buckle on the housing will be embedded in the fitting groove 14 to achieve a locking connection between the silicone substrate 1 and the housing. This provides greater connection strength and ensures that the button will not easily come out of the housing during use. It also helps to disperse the external force on the button and further enhances the stability of the overall structure. The outer side of the extension locking protrusion 13 is provided with a fitting groove 14. The fitting groove 14 slides and engages with the housing buckle to form a locking structure, which enhances the connection stability between the button and the housing and improves the overall resistance to external forces. The inner side of the fitting groove 14 is slidably connected to the outer side of the housing buckle.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 4The anti-slip protection mechanism includes a wear-resistant sheet 4, which covers the operating surface of the silicone button 2. This protects the surface of the silicone button 2, reducing wear during frequent pressing and friction, and effectively preventing scratches and wear on the surface of the silicone button 2, thus maintaining the button's appearance and operational performance. The bottom of the wear-resistant sheet 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the silicone button 2. Multiple frosted anti-slip protrusions 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the wear-resistant sheet 4. The frosted anti-slip protrusions 5 have a frosted surface, increasing friction and improving the friction between the user's fingers and the button, preventing finger slippage during pressing and improving operational accuracy and comfort. A label 3 is slidably connected inside the gap between the silicone button 2 and the wear-resistant sheet 4. Various markings, such as button function icons and text descriptions, can be printed or etched on the label 3. Users can quickly understand the button's function through the label 3, facilitating operation. The sliding nature of the label 3 also makes it easier to replace or modify the button function markings without replacing the entire button structure.

[0041] A spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the silicone button 2. The spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 provides the spring-loaded function for the silicone button 2. When the user presses the silicone button 2, the spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 is compressed. When the external force is removed, the spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 returns to its original shape by its own elasticity, pushing the silicone button 2 to reset. This makes the button operation have a good feel and also ensures that the button can be accurately triggered and reset, improving the button's service life and operational reliability. A conductive pad 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 away from the silicone button 2. When the button is pressed, it makes contact with the contacts on the circuit board to realize the circuit conduction, thereby triggering the corresponding function.

[0042] Working principle: First, the silicone substrate 1 is used as the basic load-bearing component. The tensile reinforcement edge 11 is fixed on its outer side. Then, a metal protective sleeve edge 12 is fitted on the outer side of the tensile reinforcement edge 11 and fixed to the inner side of the shell. At the same time, the top of the silicone substrate 1 is glued and fixed to the inner side of the shell through the upper adhesive piece 10, thus completing the initial installation.

[0043] Next, positioning and connection are performed. The anti-slip engagement protrusion 8 on the top of the silicone substrate 1 slides and connects with the inner side of the housing to achieve engagement and positioning. At the same time, the outer side of the anti-slip engagement protrusion 8 slides in the positioning recess 7 to ensure accurate installation. In addition, the fitting groove 14 on the extended locking protrusion 13 on the outer side of the silicone substrate 1 slides and engages with the housing buckle to form a locking connection, which enhances the overall stability. Furthermore, the waterproof protrusion 9 is embedded in the housing sealing groove to improve the sealing performance.

[0044] When in use, the wear-resistant sheet 4 on the outside of the silicone button 2 covers the operating surface, and the frosted anti-slip protrusions 5 on its top increase friction to prevent slipping. The indicator sheet 3 can be slidably set in the gap between the silicone button 2 and the wear-resistant sheet 4 for easy identification. When the silicone button 2 is pressed, the spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 on the bottom inside is compressed, and the conductive pad 6 contacts the circuit board to conduct the circuit. After being released, the spring-loaded telescopic tube 15 resets and pushes the silicone button 2 back to its original position. Throughout the process, the reinforced tensile edge 11 and the metal protective sleeve edge 12 effectively prevent the edge of the silicone substrate 1 from warping, ensuring stable use of the button.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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.
