[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 One embodiment of this utility model is a button structure, which is disposed on the main body 1 of the device to realize switch control. Optionally, the main body 1 of the device is a mechanical device or an electronic device.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the button structure includes a pressure block 2, a lever 3, a trigger assembly 4, and an elastic element 5. The pressure block 1 is slidably mounted on the device body 1, and the lever 3 is rotatably mounted on the device body 1. The trigger assembly 4 is located on the inner side of the middle of the pressure block 2, and a pressing part 21 is provided on the side of the pressure block 2. The two ends of the lever 3 respectively abut against the pressing part 21 and the trigger assembly 4. The elastic element 5 is used to drive the trigger assembly 4, the lever 3, and the pressure block 2 to reset. The device body 1 is provided with a protruding rotating shaft 13, and the middle part of the lever 3 is inserted into the rotating shaft 13. There are two pressing parts 21, two levers 3, two trigger assemblies 4, and two elastic elements 5. The pressing parts 21, two levers 3, two trigger assemblies 4, and two elastic elements 5 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two levers 3, two trigger assemblies 4, and two elastic elements 5 are arranged symmetrically. The pressing part 21 is formed by a portion of the pressure block 2. In other embodiments, the pressing part 21 may be a part provided on the pressure block 2.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic element 5 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide pin 6. The two ends of the elastic element 5 respectively abut against the trigger slider 42 and the device body 1. In other embodiments, the elastic element 5 can be a spring sheet or a spring pad.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the button structure also includes a guide pin 6, which is mounted on the device body 1, and the trigger slider 42 is sleeved on the guide pin 6. Specifically, the guide pin 6 and the trigger slider 42 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. Figure 2 As shown, the axial cross-section of the guide pin 6 is non-circular. One end of the guide pin 6 is inserted into the main body 1 of the device, and the other end of the guide pin 6 is provided with a limiting part 61, which is used to limit the movement stroke of the trigger slider 42. Figure 2 As shown, the guide pin 6 and the limiting part 61 are integrally formed into a single structure, and the guide pin 6 is T-shaped.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the triggering component 4 includes a pressing block 41 and a trigger slider 42, which are slidably mounted on the main body 1 of the device. The sliding directions of the pressing block 41 and the trigger slider 42 are set at an angle, and the lever 3 drives the trigger slider 42 to slide through the pressing block 41. Specifically, the sliding direction of the pressing block 41 is opposite to the sliding direction of the pressure block 2, and the sliding direction of the trigger slider 42 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressing block 41. The pressing block 41 is provided with a first inclined surface 411, and the trigger slider 42 is provided with a second inclined surface 421. The first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 421 can slide against each other. In other embodiments, it is also feasible for the sliding direction of the pressing block 41 to be set at an angle to the sliding direction of the pressure block 2; it is also feasible for the sliding direction of the trigger slider 42 to be not perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressing block 41; or, it is also feasible for the triggering component 4 to be a pressure sensor that sends an electrical signal after being pressed by the lever 3.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the trigger slider 42 is provided with a slot 422. The slot 422 is used to engage with the latch 71 of the movable part 7 provided on the device body 1, thereby defining the relative positional relationship between the device body 1 and the movable part 7. When the pressure block 2 is subjected to external pressure and moves inward toward the device body 1, the trigger slider 42 slides, thereby separating the slot 422 from the latch 71 of the movable part 7. In other embodiments, the trigger slider 42 is provided with a circuit, which can be used to electrically connect or disconnect with other parts by sliding; or, the trigger slider 42 is provided with a signal transmitting device, which can be used to transmit signals to other parts or disconnect communication connections by sliding.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the main body 1 of the device is provided with a first sliding groove 11, and the pressure block 2 slides and engages with the first sliding groove 11. Specifically, L-shaped protrusions 22 are provided on both sides of the pressure block 2, and the first sliding groove 11 is L-shaped corresponding to the protrusions 22, with the protrusions 22 slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 11. In other embodiments, it is also feasible for the pressure block 2 to be rotatably mounted on the main body 1 of the device.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the main body 1 of the device is provided with a second slide groove 12, and the extrusion block 41 slides and engages with the second slide groove 12. Specifically, in order to simplify the structure, the extrusion blocks 41 of the two symmetrical trigger components 4 are integrally formed structures. The two extrusion blocks 41 are respectively formed by the two protrusions on both sides of a T-shaped block, and the bottom protrusion of the T-shaped block slides and engages with the second slide groove 12.

[0048] The working principle of the button structure in this embodiment is briefly described as follows: When the main body 1 of the device and the movable part 7 disposed on the main body 1 are closed, the two sides of the latch 71 of the movable part 7 are respectively engaged with the slots 422 of the two trigger sliders 42 (e.g. Figure 4 and Figure 5 (As shown). When the user applies pressure to the center or side of the pressure block 2, the pressure block 2 slides towards the device body 1; one end of the lever 3 rotates under the drive of the pressure block 2, and the other end of the lever 3 applies a pushing force to the squeezing block 41, thereby driving the squeezing block 41 to slide away from the device body 1; the first inclined surface 411 on the squeezing block 41 slidably abuts against the second inclined surface 421 of the trigger slider 42, and the squeezing block 41 applies a pushing force to the trigger slider 42, thereby driving the trigger slider 42 to move away from the latch 71. During this process, the elastic element 5 is compressed; after the slot 422 of the trigger slider 42 separates from the latch 71, the button structure no longer locks the latch 71, and the moving part 7 and the latch 71 can move relative to the device body 1 (as shown). Figure 6(As shown). When the pressure block 2 is no longer subjected to external pressure or the external pressure is less than the reaction force exerted by the elastic element 5 on the pressure block 2, the elastic element 5 will drive the trigger slider 42, the squeezing block 41, the lever 3 and the pressure block 2 to move and reset.

[0049] In summary, the button structure provided by this utility model uses a lever to transmit the pressure on the side of the pressure block to the triggering component, which helps to reduce the risk that the button cannot be triggered due to inaccurate force application by the user, improves the success rate of triggering this button structure, and ensures that this button structure can realize its preset function on the device in a timely manner.

[0050] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
