Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and specifically to a button fixing structure for the housing of electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In electrical equipment, buttons are key components enabling user interaction, and the stability and reliability of their fixing structure are crucial. Traditional button fixing methods have many shortcomings, such as complex installation, easy loosening, and poor button feel. In some devices, the button fixing structure is poorly designed, causing the buttons to easily shift during long-term use, affecting the precise matching between the button and the microswitch, thereby reducing the device's operational performance and lifespan. Therefore, this utility model proposes a button fixing structure to at least partially solve the problems that may exist in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a button fixing structure for an electrical device housing, comprising: a housing 101, on which a button holder 102 is fixedly mounted on the inner side; the housing 101 has a button hole; a button is disposed on the button holder 102 and protrudes from the button hole; a soft single-sided adhesive 103 is attached to the button holder 102, and a button plate (not shown in the figure) is disposed at the location of the soft single-sided adhesive 103, the button plate having a micro switch corresponding to the button. By fixing the button holder to the inner side of the housing and using the soft single-sided adhesive to attach the button plate to the button holder, the button installation is more stable, and the connection and cooperation between the button and the micro switch are facilitated. The button does not require a lever arm, hot melting, or dispensing, saving material costs and reducing processing time and improving processing efficiency.

[0029] The button includes a button head 141, a limiting block 142, and a button tail 143. The limiting block 142 is located inside the button hole, causing the button head 141 to protrude from the button hole. The limiting block 142 prevents the button from shifting excessively during use, ensuring that the button head always protrudes accurately from the button hole, facilitating user operation.

[0030] The end face of the aforementioned key tail 143 is set as a rounded corner or chamfered surface 144. The design of the rounded corner or chamfered surface can reduce the wear of the key tail and other components during contact and movement, and at the same time facilitate the smooth movement of the key within the key frame. In particular, it prevents the protruding edge of the key tail 143 from scratching the soft single-sided adhesive 103, thereby improving its service life.

[0031] Furthermore, the key tail 143 is also provided with a rubber pad. The rubber pad can play a buffering role, reducing the impact on the key tail and related components during the pressing of the key, extending the service life of the key and the device, and also further improving the operation feel of the key and reducing noise.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the button holder 102 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 1021, and the button plate is provided with corresponding positioning grooves. The positioning protrusions 1021 cooperate with the positioning grooves. Through the cooperation of the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves, the positions of the button plate and the button holder can be positioned more accurately, further improving the accuracy of the cooperation between the button and the micro switch. The beneficial effect is to ensure the stable transmission of button operation signals and reduce the possibility of misoperation.

[0033] Furthermore, the soft single-sided adhesive 103 is a removable adhesive. The removable adhesive facilitates adjustments to the position of the keypad and key bracket 102 during production, and will not damage the equipment during later maintenance or component replacement, thus improving the convenience of production and maintenance.

[0034] The limiting block 142 is rectangular in shape or may be as follows: Figure 2 The half-circle and half-rectangular shape shown is considered as half of a rectangle with large rounded corners, and its width matches the width of the keyhole. The rectangular limiting block has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and effectively restricts the lateral displacement of the key within the keyhole, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of key operation.

[0035] The surface of the button head 141 is provided with anti-slip texture (not shown in the figure). The anti-slip texture can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the button head 141, making the user more comfortable and accurate when operating the button, which has the beneficial effect of improving the user's operating experience.

[0036] Furthermore, the rubber pad is made of silicone. Silicone has good elasticity, wear resistance, and aging resistance, which can better perform its cushioning function, extend the service life of the rubber pad, and improve the stability and durability of the button structure.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 101 and the button holder 102 are integrally formed by injection molding. Injection molding enhances the connection strength between the housing and the button holder, reduces assembly steps, and improves production efficiency. The beneficial effects are reduced production costs and improved overall stability of the button fixing structure.

[0038] As an example, in the manufacturing process of electrical equipment, the button holder 102 is first installed on the inner side of the housing 101 by injection molding or other suitable fixing methods. For example, for some small electrical equipment, injection molding can effectively improve production efficiency and structural stability.

[0039] Then, the soft single-sided adhesive 103 is attached to the button holder 102, while ensuring that the positioning groove on the button board and the positioning protrusion 1021 on the button holder 102 are accurately matched, and the button board is fixed on the soft single-sided adhesive 103 so that the micro switch on the button board corresponds to the button position.

[0040] Next, install the button. Place the button's tail 143 into the corresponding mounting position on the button holder 102. The rubber pad on the tail 143 provides cushioning and stability. Since the end face of the tail 143 is rounded or chamfered 144, installation is smoother. The button's limiting block 142 is located inside the button hole, ensuring the button head 141 protrudes beyond the button hole, and effectively preventing excessive button displacement. For example, in scenarios involving frequent button presses, the limiting block 142 ensures the button is always in the correct working position.

[0041] When a user operates an electrical appliance, pressing the button head 141 increases the friction between the finger and the button due to the anti-slip texture on its surface, making operation more comfortable and accurate. The button head 141 moves the button tail 143 downwards, which in turn activates the corresponding microswitch on the button panel, thus enabling the device to perform its function. The cushioning effect of the rubber pad reduces the impact of the button on the microswitch, extending its lifespan.

[0042] When maintenance or replacement of parts is required, the keypad can be easily removed from the keypad holder 102 because the soft single-sided adhesive 103 is removable, allowing for the corresponding repair or replacement operations.

[0043] Through the above embodiments, the button fixing structure of this utility model can effectively improve the stability of button installation, ensure the precise matching between the button and the micro switch, improve the operating performance and service life of the equipment, and at the same time have high convenience in the production and maintenance process.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.
