Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, specifically to a recessed plate bracket for a switch. Background Technology

[0002] Tactile switches, also known as sensitive switches, are activated by applying pressure in the direction of operation to close the circuit. When the pressure is released, the switch opens. Their internal structure relies on the change in force of a metal spring to achieve on / off switching. Their pins can be recessed into the mounting holes of a printed circuit board (PCB) to achieve a compact layout that is flush with or slightly raised on the board surface. This makes them suitable for scenarios where the thickness of the device is strictly limited (such as ultra-thin remote controls and portable medical devices). In existing technologies, the stability of tactile switches is not ideal when recessed, and the heat generated when the switch is powered on is not ideal in terms of heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a recessed plate bracket for switches, which solves the problems of insufficient stability of tactile switches during recessed installation and inadequate heat dissipation when the switch is powered on.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a recessed plate bracket for a switch, comprising a snap-fit ​​support mechanism recessed and mounted on a circuit board, wherein a tactile switch is installed inside the snap-fit ​​support mechanism;

[0005] The snap-fit ​​support mechanism includes a metal frame, with recessed portions fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the metal frame, a button slot in the center of the metal frame, side snap-fit ​​slots on both sides of the bottom of the metal frame, and an upper snap-fit ​​block and a lower snap-fit ​​block fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the metal frame, respectively.

[0006] The tactile switch includes a switch body, with an upper slot and a lower slot respectively opened at the top and bottom of the switch body, and side blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the switch body.

[0007] Preferably, the metal frame is attached to the tactile switch, and the metal frame is fixed to the circuit board by a recess, so that the metal frame can be fixed to the circuit board.

[0008] Preferably, the button slot matches the button of the tactile switch, so that the button on the tactile switch can pass through the button slot.

[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower locking blocks are formed by bending a metal frame. The upper and lower locking blocks are respectively matched with the upper and lower locking slots. The upper and lower locking blocks can be embedded into the upper and lower locking slots respectively, which can limit and lock the tactile switch and improve stability.

[0010] Preferably, the two side blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the switch body, and the cross-sectional shape of the side blocks is set as a right trapezoid, so that the metal frame can be locked onto the switch body along the hypotenuse of the right trapezoid.

[0011] Preferably, the side locking block matches the side locking slot, so that the side locking block can be embedded into the side locking slot for locking and fixing.

[0012] This utility model provides a recessed plate bracket for a switch. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The switch uses a recessed bracket. By fastening the metal frame to the outside of the tactile switch and the side slot to the outside of the side block, the upper and lower blocks are embedded in the upper and lower slots, which provides a good limiting effect on the tactile switch from multiple directions and effectively improves the stability of the installation.

[0014] 2. The switch uses a recessed bracket, with a metal frame attached to the tactile switch, allowing the metal frame to fit in close contact with the tactile switch over a large area. This enables the heat transfer of the tactile switch and effectively improves heat dissipation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a recessed plate bracket for a switch, including a snap-fit ​​support mechanism 2 recessed and installed on a circuit board 1. A tactile switch 3 is installed inside the snap-fit ​​support mechanism 2. The tactile switch 3 can be fixed on the circuit board 1 through the snap-fit ​​support mechanism 2, which effectively improves the stability of the installation and fits the tactile switch 3 over a large area, which effectively improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0022] The snap-fit ​​support mechanism 2 includes a metal frame 201. Recessed portions 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the metal frame 201. The metal frame 201 adheres to the tactile switch 3, allowing for large-area contact between the metal frame 201 and the tactile switch 3, thus effectively transferring heat and improving heat dissipation. The metal frame 201 is fixed to the circuit board 1 via the recessed portions 202. A button slot 203 is provided in the center of the metal frame 201, matching the button of the tactile switch 3, allowing the button on the tactile switch 3 to pass through the button slot 203. Side snap-fit ​​slots 206 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the metal frame 201. An upper snap-fit ​​block 204 and a lower snap-fit ​​block 205 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the metal frame 201, respectively. The upper snap-fit ​​block 204 and the lower snap-fit ​​block 205 provide limiting support for the tactile switch 3, improving stability.

[0023] The tactile switch 3 includes a switch body 301. The top and bottom of the switch body 301 are respectively provided with an upper slot 302 and a lower slot 304. Upper and lower locking blocks 204 and 205 are formed by bending a metal frame 201. The upper and lower locking blocks 204 and 205 respectively match the upper and lower slots 302 and 304, and can be embedded into the upper and lower slots 302 and 304 respectively, thus limiting and locking the tactile switch 3. To enhance stability, side locking blocks 303 are fixedly connected to both sides of the switch body 301. The two side locking blocks 303 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the switch body 301. The cross-sectional shape of the side locking blocks 303 is set as a right trapezoid, so that the metal frame 201 can be locked onto the switch body 301 along the hypotenuse of the right trapezoid. The side locking blocks 303 match the side locking slots 206, so that the side locking blocks 303 can be embedded into the side locking slots 206 for locking and fixing.

[0024] During operation, the metal frame 201 is fastened to the outside of the tactile switch 3. The side slots 206 on both sides of the metal frame 201 move along the inclined surface of the side block 303 and undergo a certain deformation. After the side slots 206 are in place, they return to their original shape and fasten to the outside of the side block 303, so that the upper block 204 and the lower block 205 are embedded in the upper slot 302 and the lower slot 304. This provides a good limiting effect on the tactile switch 3 from multiple directions and effectively improves the stability of the installation.

[0025] Furthermore, the metal frame 201 is attached to the tactile switch 3, allowing the metal frame 201 to adhere to the tactile switch 3 over a large area, which can transfer the heat of the tactile switch 3 and thus effectively improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
