[0002] As a core component of human-computer interaction, the reliability of the button's installation structure, ease of disassembly and assembly, and sealing performance directly affect the user experience and lifespan of the device. Currently, most mainstream button installation structures use snap-fit ​​fixing.

[0003] However, traditional snap-fit ​​components are subjected to repeated elastic deformation during multiple disassembly and assembly processes, which can easily lead to a decrease in the locking force due to metal fatigue or plastic aging. This can result in problems such as loose keycaps and abnormal clicking noises. In severe cases, it can even cause key jamming and failure, directly affecting the accuracy of the device's operation response. Moreover, the snap-fit ​​structure is mostly a hidden design, which requires the use of tools to pry it open during disassembly. This is not only cumbersome, but may also cause damage to the keycap body and the edge of the device shell due to improper force, significantly increasing repair costs. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: an electronic device button mounting structure, including an electronic device housing 1, an mounting groove 2 on the upper side of the electronic device housing 1, a guide post 3 slidably fitted on the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, a button cap 4 slidably fitted on the inner wall of the electronic device housing 1, a mounting bracket 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the button cap 4, a connecting groove 6 on the lower side of the mounting bracket 5, storage grooves 7 on both sides of the guide post 3, a snap-fit ​​mechanism 8 inside the storage groove 7, a U-shaped unlocking plate 9 slidably fitted on the upper side of the guide post 3, a trigger spring 10 installed on the lower side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, a trigger plate 11 that cooperates with the trigger spring 10 fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide post 3, and a cover plate 12 threadedly fitted on the upper side of the button cap 4. The button cap 4 is connected to the guide post 3 through the connecting groove 6 of the mounting bracket 5. The guide post 3 slides in the mounting groove 2. When the button cap 4 is pressed, the guide post 3 drives the trigger plate 11 to move down and trigger the trigger spring 10 to realize the button function. The cover plate 12 is threadedly connected to the button cap 4 to protect the internal structure. The basic trigger function of the button is realized through the cooperation of various components. The cover plate 12 plays the role of protecting the internal structure and aesthetics.

[0025] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 8 includes a trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 that slides on the inner wall of the storage groove 7. A guide rod 82 is fixedly connected to the side of the trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 near the guide post 3. A first spring 83 is sleeved on the guide rod 82. Slots 84 that mate with the trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting groove 6. The guide rod 82 slides on one side of the inner wall of the storage groove 7, and the two ends of the first spring 83 abut against the trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 and the inner wall of the storage groove 7, respectively. When the guide post 3 engages with the connecting groove 6 of the mounting bracket 5, the trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 pops out of the storage groove 7 under the action of the first spring 83 and snaps into the slot 84, thus achieving the snap-fit ​​fixation between the guide post 3 and the mounting bracket 5. When separation is required, the trapezoidal snap-fit ​​block 81 compresses the first spring 83 and retracts into the storage groove 7 through relevant operations. The snap-fit ​​mechanism 8 enables the quick connection and fixation of the guide post 3 and the mounting bracket 5, ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0026] In this embodiment, arc-shaped locking blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide post 3, and arc-shaped locking grooves 14 that mate with the arc-shaped locking blocks 13 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting groove 6. A sealing ring 15 is installed on the outer side of the guide post 3, and the outer side of the sealing ring 15 is press-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. A limit ring 16 is fixedly connected to the guide post 3. An abutment ring 17 is fixedly connected to the guide post 3, and a second spring 18 is provided on the lower side of the abutment ring 17. The two sides of the second spring 18 abut against the abutment ring 17 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, respectively. Two limit rods 19 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting bracket 5. A U-shaped unlocking plate 9 is slidably fitted on the limit rods 19, and a third spring 20 is sleeved on the two limit rods 19. The two ends of the third spring 20 abut against the mounting bracket 5 and the U-shaped unlocking plate 9, respectively. When the guide post 3 and the connecting groove 6 are engaged, the arc-shaped locking block 13 engages with the arc-shaped locking groove 14, further enhancing the stability of the connection; the sealing ring 15 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, which plays a sealing role; the limiting ring 16 restricts the sliding range of the guide post 3; when the button cap 4 is pressed, the abutting ring 17 compresses the second spring 18; after being released, the second spring 18 resets and drives the guide post 3 back to its original position; the U-shaped unlocking plate 9 slides on the limiting rod 19; the third spring 20 ensures its initial position when it is not under force; the arc-shaped locking block 13 and the arc-shaped locking groove 14 improve the connection stability; the sealing ring 15 prevents dust and liquid from entering; the limiting ring 16 prevents the guide post 3 from sliding excessively; the second spring 18 realizes the automatic reset of the button; the limiting rod 19 and the third spring 20 ensure the normal operation of the U-shaped unlocking plate 9.

[0027] When using the device, the guide post 3 and the mounting bracket 5 inside the button cap 4 are connected by the connecting groove 6. At this time, the trapezoidal locking block 81 in the locking mechanism 8 is locked into the locking groove 84 under the action of the first spring 83, and the arc-shaped locking block 13 is locked into the arc-shaped locking groove 14, realizing a stable connection between the two. The cover plate 12 is threaded onto the button cap 4 for protection. When using the button, pressing the button cap 4 moves the guide post 3 downward, which compresses the second spring 18 by the abutting ring 17. The trigger plate 11 at the lower end of the guide post 3 triggers the trigger spring 10 to realize the button function. After being released, the second spring 18 resets, causing the guide post 3 and the button cap 4 to return to their original positions. When unlocking and separation are required, unscrew the cover plate 12, press the U-shaped unlocking plate 9, and let it slide on the limit rod 19 and compress the third spring 20. The U-shaped unlocking plate 9 pushes the trapezoidal block 81 to compress the first spring 83 and retract into the receiving groove 7, thus releasing the latch and achieving separation of the guide post 3 from the mounting bracket 5. The sealing ring 15 ensures the sealing of the mounting groove 2, and the limit ring 16 restricts the sliding stroke of the guide post 3, ensuring that the entire button structure works stably and reliably.
