Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical button technology, specifically to a converter button and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Buttons are the main components for human control of many devices. Taking embedded flat panel displays as an example, their application in industrial scenarios is becoming more and more widespread. Embedded flat panel displays are generally installed on the wall by wall mounting and control other devices by connecting to them via signals.

[0003] The power switch button of embedded flat panel displays is mostly located behind the screen. This means that when turning the power on or off, technicians need to reach their hands through the gap between the screen and the wall to press the power switch button. This operation is very inconvenient and also carries the risk of accidentally pressing other function buttons. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a transfer button that can facilitate operation by transferring buttons while preventing the risk of accidental touch.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a transfer button is provided, comprising: a mounting base for connecting to the main body of an electronic device having a button; a transfer assembly including: a transfer switch slidably disposed on the mounting base for pressing a button on the main body when pressed; and a first elastic member connected between the transfer switch and the mounting base for providing a reset elastic force to the transfer switch; an anti-accidental touch assembly including: a locking slider slidably disposed on the mounting base, the sliding direction of the locking slider being perpendicular to the sliding direction of the transfer switch, the locking slider being slidable to a state connected to the transfer switch to lock the transfer switch; a second elastic member connected between the locking slider and the mounting base for providing a reset elastic force to the locking slider toward the transfer switch; and an anti-accidental touch switch slidably disposed on the mounting base, the sliding direction of the anti-accidental touch switch being parallel to the sliding direction of the transfer switch, the anti-accidental touch switch being driven to cooperate with the locking slider, the anti-accidental touch switch being used to drive the locking slider to slide away from the transfer switch when pressed, so as to unlock the transfer switch.

[0006] In one alternative embodiment, a slot is provided on one side of the anti-accidental touch switch; the anti-accidental touch component further includes: a limit lock, which is located on one side of the anti-accidental touch switch and movably connected to the mounting base. The limit lock has a latching protrusion, one side of which is inclined. When the anti-accidental touch switch is pressed, force is applied to the inclined surface, causing the limit lock to move and the latching protrusion to engage in the slot, thereby limiting the reset of the anti-accidental touch switch; a third elastic element, connected between the limit lock and the mounting base, for providing a reset elastic force to the limit lock; and a limit switch, which is slidably mounted on the mounting base. The sliding direction of the limit switch is parallel to the sliding direction of the anti-accidental touch switch. The limit switch is used to drive the limit lock to rotate when pressed, so that the latching protrusion separates from the slot, and the reset restriction of the anti-accidental touch switch is released.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the adapter assembly further includes: a drive slider, a fourth elastic element, a limit slider, and a fifth elastic element; the drive slider is disposed between the adapter switch and the anti-accidental contact assembly, the drive slider is slidably connected to the mounting base, the sliding direction of the drive slider is parallel to the sliding direction of the adapter switch, and the locking slider can slide to a state of engaging with the drive slider to lock the drive slider; the fourth elastic element is connected between the drive slider and the mounting base and is used to provide a reset force to the drive slider; the limit slider is slidably disposed on the drive slider, the sliding direction of the limit slider is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the drive slider; the fifth elastic element is connected between the limit slider and the drive slider and is used to limit the drive slider. The limiting slider provides a spring force toward the transfer switch; the mounting base is provided with a first inclined surface, and the end of the limiting slider is provided with a matching second inclined surface; in the initial state, the limiting slider is engaged with the transfer switch to lock the transfer switch; when the anti-accidental touch switch is pressed to unlock the drive slider, when the transfer switch is pressed, it first drives the limiting slider and the drive slider to slide synchronously, and then the button on the main body is pressed through the drive slider. When the second inclined surface contacts and rubs against the first inclined surface, the limiting slider slides relative to the drive slider and the transfer switch, the limiting slider separates from the transfer switch, the drive slider resets under the spring force of the fourth elastic element, and the pressing of the button on the main body ends.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, a third inclined surface is provided on one side of the drive slider, and the adapter assembly further includes a first adapter slider and a sixth elastic element. The first adapter slider is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the sliding direction of the first adapter slider is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the drive slider. A fourth inclined surface is provided at one end of the first adapter slider. The drive slider is used to drive the first adapter slider to slide and press the button on the electronic device by frictional engagement between the third and fourth inclined surfaces during sliding. The sixth elastic element is connected between the first adapter slider and the mounting base and is used to provide a reset elastic force to the first adapter slider.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the adapter assembly further includes a gear and a second adapter slider. The gear is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and the second adapter slider is slidably mounted on the mounting base. One side of the first adapter slider has a first rack, and one side of the second adapter slider has a second rack. Both the first and second racks mesh with the gear, and the sliding directions of the first and second adapter sliders are different. When the first adapter slider slides, it drives the second adapter slider to slide via the gear and presses a button on the electronic device.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the adapter assembly further includes a rotating block, a third adapter slider, and a seventh elastic element; the rotating block is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, the third adapter slider is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and both ends of the rotating block are movably connected to the second adapter slider and the third adapter slider, respectively; when the second adapter slider slides, it drives the third adapter slider to slide through the rotating block and presses a button on the electronic device; the seventh elastic element is connected between the rotating block and the mounting base and is used to provide a reset force to the adapter block.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the adapter assembly further includes an adapter rod and an eighth elastic element. The adapter rod is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the sliding direction of the adapter rod is perpendicular to the third adapter slider. The third adapter slider and the adapter rod are engaged by inclined friction, so that when the third adapter slider slides, it can drive the adapter rod to slide and press the button on the electronic device. The eighth elastic element is connected between the adapter rod and the mounting base to provide a reset force to the adapter rod.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the third adapter slider has an inclined section, and one end of the adapter rod is provided with an inclined sleeve interface, which is fitted onto the outer periphery of the inclined section so that the third adapter slider and the adapter rod form an inclined friction fit.

[0013] In one alternative approach, the mounting base is a housing, with the adapter and anti-accidental touch components both located inside the mounting base.

[0014] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is provided, including a main body and a transfer button as described above, the transfer button being connected to the main body; the main body has a button, and the transfer button is used to press the button on the main body when pressed.

[0015] The adapter button provided in this embodiment employs a mechanical structural design to achieve the change of button pressing position and prevent accidental touch. Specifically, a mounting base is responsible for mounting and connecting to the main body of an embedded flat panel display or other electronic device, and the adapter component and the anti-accidental touch component are respectively mounted on the mounting base. The slidable adapter switch in the adapter component is responsible for pressing the button on the embedded flat panel display when pressed, thus triggering the button. The first elastic element in the adapter component provides a reset function for the adapter switch. In the anti-accidental touch component, a locking slider perpendicular to the sliding direction of the adapter switch is responsible for locking or unlocking the adapter switch by sliding. The second elastic element provides elasticity to the locking slider to ensure that the locking slider remains in the locked state when no external force is applied, thus achieving the anti-accidental touch function of the adapter switch. The anti-accidental touch switch is responsible for driving the locking slider to slide and unlock the adapter switch when pressed.

[0042] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] To address the inconvenience of operating buttons on the back of embedded flat panel displays, some embedded flat panel displays also set the power switch as a touch button on the front of the screen. However, in industrial environments, touch buttons are prone to malfunction due to interference, and technicians usually wear gloves, making it inconvenient to operate the touch buttons.

[0048] In view of this, this application proposes to design a transfer button that, by connecting to the power switch of an embedded flat panel display, serves as a transfer of the power switch button. Technicians can easily operate the transfer button from another location to indirectly press the power switch of the embedded flat panel display, thereby controlling its power on / off. Considering that while the transfer button offers greater convenience, it also introduces a higher risk of accidental touches, this application also incorporates an anti-accidental touch design to prevent incorrect power on / off situations.

[0049] It should be noted that the adapter button provided in this application can be used not only for the power switch button on an embedded flat panel display, but also for the adapter of other function buttons on an embedded flat panel display. Of course, it can also be used in other electronic devices with buttons to achieve the adapter of the corresponding buttons, such as televisions. The specific device form is not limited here.

[0050] In the specific embodiments described below, the adapter button is mainly described using an embedded flat panel display as an example.

[0051] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is provided; please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The three-dimensional structure of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 The three-dimensional structure of the main body of the electronic device 500 is shown. The electronic device 500 includes a main body 200 and a transfer button 100. The transfer button 100 is connected to the main body 200. The main body 200 has a button 300. The transfer button 100 is used to press the button 300 when it is pressed.

[0052] Specifically, the main body 200 of the electronic device 500 can be the embedded flat panel display 210 shown in the figure. The button 300 is located on the rear side of the embedded flat panel display 210. The adapter button 100 can be installed on the rear side of the embedded flat panel display 210 and protrude from the top of the embedded flat panel display 210 to facilitate the pressing operation of the adapter button 100.

[0053] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a switching button is provided, which includes, but is not limited to, the electronic device applied in the above embodiments. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 3 The figure shows the three-dimensional structure of the adapter button 100, which includes a mounting base 110, an adapter assembly 120, and an anti-accidental touch assembly 130. The mounting base 110 is as follows... Figure 2The device shown can be connected to an embedded flat panel display 210 with buttons 300. The mounting base 110 serves as the mounting carrier for the adapter assembly 120 and the anti-accidental touch assembly 130. It can be a base structure, and correspondingly, the adapter assembly 120 and the anti-accidental touch assembly 130 are mounted on the mounting base 110 via corresponding assembly structures. Alternatively, the mounting base 110 can be a housing as shown in the figure, with the adapter assembly 120 and the anti-accidental touch assembly 130 mounted inside the mounting base 110 via corresponding assembly structures.

[0054] Please combine further Figure 4 The figure shows the exploded structure of the adapter assembly 120 and the exploded structure of the anti-accidental touch assembly 130. The adapter assembly 120 includes an adapter switch 121 and a first elastic element 122. The adapter switch 121 can be slidably mounted on the mounting base 110 through a guide rail, a slide groove or other structure. When the adapter switch 121 is pressed, the sliding direction is as shown by arrow X in the figure. When the adapter switch 121 is pressed, it can directly or indirectly press the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210.

[0055] For direct pressing, the switch 121 can be configured such that when pressed, its rear end protrudes from the mounting base 110 and presses the button 300. Alternatively, an additional pressing part can be provided on one side of the switch 121, so that when the switch 121 is pressed, the pressing part correspondingly presses the button 300. For indirect pressing, a transmission component is provided between the switch 121 and the button 300. When the switch 121 is pressed, the transmission component moves to ultimately press the button 300. The specific configuration of the transmission component will be described in detail below, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0056] The first elastic element 122 can be a spring, a sheet, or similar; other elastic elements mentioned below are similar. The first elastic element 122 is connected between the switch 121 and the mounting base 110, and is mainly responsible for providing a reset force to the switch 121 after it is pressed. The direction of the force provided by the first elastic element 122 to the switch 121 is opposite to the direction shown by arrow X in the figure, so that the switch 121 can slide and reset itself when no pressure is applied. The first elastic element 122 can abut against the rear end of the switch 121 and the mounting base 110 as shown in the figure. For the embodiment mentioned above where the rear end of the switch 121 needs to protrude from the mounting base 110 after being pressed to press the button 300, the first elastic element 122 can also abut against one side of the switch 121 and the mounting base 110, as long as the first elastic element 122 can provide a force to the switch 121 in the opposite direction to that shown by arrow X.

[0057] The aforementioned adapter component 120 mechanically changes the pressing position of the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210. Technicians can press the adapter switch 121 to activate the button 300, achieving convenient operation. Furthermore, considering the risk of accidental activation, the adapter component 120 is also designed to prevent accidental activation.

[0058] Please continue reading. Figure 4 The anti-accidental touch component 130 includes a locking slider 131, a second elastic element 132, and an anti-accidental touch switch 133. The locking slider 131 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 110, and its sliding direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the transfer switch 121, i.e., the direction indicated by the double arrow Y in the figure. The locking slider 131 can slide to a state where it is connected to the transfer switch 121 to lock the transfer switch 121. Specifically, a limiting structure (e.g., a slot, a block, etc.) can be provided on the side of the transfer switch 121 facing the locking slider 131. When the locking slider 131 slides to engage with this limiting structure, the transfer switch 121 is locked. At this time, when the transfer switch 121 is pressed, it is restricted by the locking slider 131 and cannot slide, thus achieving the purpose of preventing accidental touch.

[0059] The second elastic element 132 is connected between the locking slider 131 and the mounting base 110. The second elastic element 132 is used to provide the locking slider 131 with a reset force toward the transfer switch 121 in the direction shown by the double arrow Y in the figure, so that the locking slider 131 can remain in the state of locking the transfer switch 121 without the action of other external forces.

[0060] The anti-accidental-touch switch 133 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 110. The pressing and sliding direction of the anti-accidental-touch switch 133 is parallel to the pressing and sliding direction of the transfer switch 121, as shown by arrow X in the figure. The anti-accidental-touch switch 133 is in a transmission cooperation with the locking slider 131. When pressed, the anti-accidental-touch switch 133 drives the locking slider 131 to slide away from the transfer switch 121 in the direction shown by double arrow Y, so that the locking slider 131 releases the restriction on the transfer switch 121, and the transfer switch 121 is unlocked.

[0061] Specifically, in the embodiment shown in the attached drawings, the anti-accidental touch switch 133 and the locking slider 131 are engaged by inclined friction. After pressing the anti-accidental touch switch 133 in the direction indicated by arrow X, the friction and compression of the two inclined surfaces between the anti-accidental touch switch 133 and the locking slider 131 cause the locking slider 131 to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic element 132 and slide away from the transfer switch 121, ultimately unlocking the transfer switch 121. Of course, in some other embodiments, racks can also be provided on the anti-accidental touch switch 133 and the locking slider 131 respectively, with the extension directions of the racks on both being perpendicular. At the same time, gears are rotatably provided on the mounting base 110, respectively meshing with the racks on the anti-accidental touch switch 133 and the locking slider 131. After this connection, when the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is pressed, the anti-accidental touch switch 133 will drive the locking slider 131 to slide away from the transfer switch 121 through the gears, which can also achieve the unlocking operation of the transfer switch 121.

[0062] Based on the above structural design, when the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210 is accidentally pressed, the switch 121 will not slide because it is locked by the locking slider 131, thus preventing the button 300 from being triggered. When the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210 needs to be pressed for corresponding control, the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is pressed first to release the locking slider 131 from locking the switch 121, and then the switch 121 is pressed to trigger the button 300, completing the button 300 pressing operation.

[0063] In summary, the adapter button 100 provided in this application embodiment adopts a mechanical structural design to realize the change of button pressing position and the protection against accidental touch. Specifically, the mounting base 110 is responsible for the installation and connection with the main body 200 of the embedded flat panel display 210 or other electronic device 500, and the adapter component 120 and the anti-accidental touch component 130 are respectively disposed on the mounting base 110. The slidable adapter switch 121 in the adapter component 120 is responsible for pressing the button 300 of the embedded flat panel display 210 when pressed, so as to trigger the button 300. The first elastic element 122 in the adapter component 120 provides a reset function for the adapter switch 121. In the anti-accidental touch component 130, the locking slider 131, which is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the transfer switch 121, is responsible for locking or unlocking the transfer switch 121 by sliding. The second elastic element 132 is used to provide elastic force to the locking slider 131 to ensure that the locking slider 131 remains in the locked state of the transfer switch 121 when there is no external force, thereby realizing the anti-accidental touch function of the transfer switch 121. The anti-accidental touch switch 133 is responsible for driving the locking slider 131 to slide to unlock the transfer switch 121 when it is pressed.

[0064] Considering that after the anti-accidental touch switch 133 unlocks the locking slider 131, if the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is not kept pressed, the locking slider 131 will reset under the elastic force of the second elastic element 132, and the anti-accidental touch switch 133 will also reset. This means that after pressing and releasing the anti-accidental touch switch 133, when pressing the transfer switch 121, the transfer switch 121 is still locked by the locking slider 131 and cannot slide. This situation means that to trigger the button 300, the anti-accidental touch switch 133 must be pressed and held first, and then the transfer switch 121 must be pressed while the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is pressed to trigger the button 300. This operation is relatively limited, especially since the transfer switch 121 needs to be pressed while the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is held down.

[0065] To optimize the unlocking operation of the transfer switch 121, this application further optimizes the design of the anti-accidental touch component 130. Please refer to the details in conjunction with... Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 The explosion structure of the anti-accidental touch component 130 is shown from another perspective. Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of the anti-accidental touch component 130 is shown. As shown in the figure, a slot 1331 is provided on one side of the anti-accidental touch switch 133. Please refer to further details. Figure 7 The three-dimensional structure of the anti-accidental touch switch 133 shown is illustrated in the embodiment where the slot 1331 is located at the bottom of the anti-accidental touch switch 133. In other embodiments, the slot 1331 can also be located at the top, left, or right side of the anti-accidental touch switch 133. The anti-accidental touch assembly 130 also includes a limit lock 134, a third elastic element 135, and a limit switch 136. The limit lock 134 is located on one side of the anti-accidental touch switch 133. It should be noted that the limit lock 134 needs to be located on the side where the slot 1331 is located to cooperate with the slot 1331. In the illustrated embodiment, the limit lock 134 is correspondingly located at the bottom of the anti-accidental touch switch 133. The limit lock 134 is movably connected to the mounting base 110. Please refer to further details. Figure 8 The three-dimensional structure of the limit lock 134 shown has a latching protrusion 1341. In the embodiment shown where the limit lock 134 is located at the bottom of the anti-accidental contact switch 133, the latching protrusion 1341 is located at the top of the limit lock 134. One side of the latching protrusion 1341 is a slope 1342.

[0066] The third elastic element 135 is connected between the limit lock 134 and the mounting base 110, and is used to provide a reset force to the limit lock 134. The limit switch 136 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 110, and its pressing and sliding direction is parallel to the pressing and sliding direction of the anti-accidental contact switch 133, which is the direction shown by arrow X in the figure.

[0067] Specifically, please combine Figures 4 to 10 ,in Figure 9 The three-dimensional structure of the limit switch 136 is shown. Figure 10 The three-dimensional structure of the mounting base 110 is shown. In the specific embodiment shown, the mounting base 110 has a mounting plate 111, an anti-accidental touch switch 133 is slidably disposed on the mounting plate 111, the mounting plate 111 is provided with an opening 112, and the mounting base 110 is provided with a mounting groove 113 at the bottom of the mounting plate 111.

[0068] The limit lock 134 also includes a main body 1343 and a limiting arm 1344. The main body 1343 is composed of two mutually perpendicular plates (a first plate 13431 and a second plate 13432). A locking protrusion 1341 is provided at the rear end of the top of the first plate 13431 and protrudes from the opening 112. The limiting arm 1344 is formed by extending downward at an angle from the top of the rear end of the first plate 13431. The limiting arm 1344 is mainly responsible for abutting against the inner wall of the mounting groove 113 to limit the movement and prevent the limit lock 134 from having an excessive range of motion and failing to reset.

[0069] A first positioning post 1345 and a second positioning post 114 are arranged facing each other between the rear side of the main body 1343 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 113. The two ends of the third elastic member 135 are respectively sleeved on the first positioning post 1345 and the second positioning post 114, and the first positioning post 1345 and the second positioning post 114 provide a limit for the third elastic member 135.

[0070] The two sides of the limit switch 136 can extend inward to form hooks 1361. Correspondingly, sliding grooves 115 can be opened on the two side walls of the mounting groove 113. The hooks 1361 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 115. At the same time, the sliding grooves 115 can also limit the maximum sliding stroke of the hooks 1361 to prevent the limit switch 136 from falling off the mounting base 110.

[0071] After the limit lock 134, the third elastic element 135, and the limit switch 136 are installed on the mounting base 110, for the limit lock 134, the top of its first plate 13431 is abutted and limited by the bottom of the mounting plate 111, the rear end of the second plate 13432 is abutted and limited by the third elastic element 135, and the front end of the second plate 13432 is abutted and limited by the limit switch 136. This keeps the limit lock 134 in the mounting groove 113, and the locking protrusion 1341 protrudes from the opening 112, forming... Figure 6 The state shown.

[0072] When the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is pressed, force is applied to the inclined surface 1342, causing the limit lock 134 to move and switch to its normal position. Figure 11 The state shown. In Figure 11Based on the indicated state, continue pressing the anti-accidental touch switch 133. The limit lock 134 will reset after the movement, and the latch 1341 will engage with the slot 1331, forming a position. Figure 12 In the indicated state, the limit lock 134 limits the anti-accidental touch switch 133. Even if the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is no longer pressed, it will not reset under the restriction of the limit lock 134. Therefore, when it is necessary to trigger the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210, one can press and release the anti-accidental touch switch 133, and then press the switch 121. It is unnecessary to keep the anti-accidental touch switch 133 pressed while simultaneously pressing the switch 121, making the operation of triggering the button 300 more convenient.

[0073] From the above content, it can be seen that, Figure 12 In the indicated state, the anti-mistouch component 130 releases the lock on the adapter component 120, and anti-mistouch protection is not activated at this time. When the trigger operation of button 300 is completed and it is necessary to re-enable anti-mistouch protection, the corresponding... Figure 12 Based on the indicated state, press the limit switch 136. Specifically, after pressing the limit switch 136, the limit switch 136 will push the limit lock 134 to move. During the movement of the limit lock 134, the latching protrusion 1341 gradually moves out of the latching groove 1331. When the latching protrusion 1341 is completely moved out of the latching groove 1331, it is in the position shown. Figure 13 In the state shown, the limit switch of the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is released, and it will automatically reset under the action of the locking slider 131. After the reset, the locking slider 131 will lock the transfer switch 121 again, forming an anti-accidental touch protection.

[0074] It is understood that the attached figures only show one possible configuration of the limit lock 134. In other embodiments, the limit lock 134 may also adopt other structures and active forms to limit and release the anti-accidental touch switch 133. For example, a rotating block or linkage mechanism may be used to limit and release the position of the anti-accidental touch switch 133 by rotating the rotating block or moving the linkage mechanism under force.

[0075] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adapter assembly 120 may further include a drive slider 123, a fourth elastic element 124, a limit slider 125, and a fifth elastic element 126. The drive slider 123 is disposed between the adapter switch 121 and the anti-accidental contact assembly 130. The drive slider 123 is slidably connected to the mounting base 110, and the sliding direction of the drive slider 123 is the direction shown by arrow X in the figure and its opposite direction.

[0076] Regarding the further configuration of the drive slider 123, the locking slider 131 is no longer directly connected to and locked to the switch 121. Instead, it indirectly locks the switch 121 by engaging with the drive slider 123. Specifically, a locking hole 1231 can be provided on the drive slider 123, and a pin 1311 can be correspondingly provided on the side of the locking slider 131 facing the drive slider 123. When the locking slider 131 slides to the state where the pin 1311 is inserted into the locking hole 1231, the pin 1311 and the locking hole 1231 engage with each other to lock the drive slider 123, preventing it from sliding under force. Of course, the locking slider 131 and the drive slider 123 can also achieve engagement and limitation by, for example, two protrusions abutting each other or other means.

[0077] The fourth elastic element 124 is connected between the drive slider 123 and the mounting base 110. It is used to provide the drive slider 123 with a reset force in the opposite direction to arrow X, so as to ensure that the drive slider 123 can slide and reset itself without other external forces. After the drive slider 123 is reset, the locking hole 1231 on it is aligned with the pin 1311, thus preparing for the next locking.

[0078] The limiting slider 125 is slidably mounted on the driving slider 123. The sliding direction of the limiting slider 125 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the driving slider 123, as indicated by the double arrow Y in the figure. A fifth elastic element 126 is connected between the limiting slider 125 and the driving slider 123, used to provide a spring force to the limiting slider 125 towards the switch 121. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the specific embodiment shown, the limiting slider 125 includes a slider head 1251, a slider rod 1252, and a limiting sleeve 1253. The slider head 1251 and the slider rod 1252 can be an integral structure or can be assembled and fixed to each other. A fifth elastic element 126 is sleeved on the slider rod 1252. The slider head 1251 and the slider rod 1252 are integrally mounted on the driving slider 123. The fifth elastic element 126 abuts between the slider head 1251 and the driving slider 123. One end of the slider rod 1252 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 1253, so as to restrict the slider head 1251 and the slider rod 1252 from disengaging through the abutment between the limiting sleeve 1253 and the driving slider 123. Of course, this is only an exemplary implementation. In other embodiments, the limiting slider 125 can also be slidably assembled on the driving slider 123 by means of a slide rail, a slide groove, etc.

[0079] In the initial state, the switch 121 and the drive slider 123 are at their farthest ends in the direction opposite to arrow X, under the elastic force of the first elastic element 122 and the fourth elastic element 124, respectively. At this time, the locking slider 131 engages with the drive slider 123, locking the drive slider 123. The limiting slider 125 protrudes to its limit position relative to the drive slider 123 under the elastic force of the fifth elastic element 126, and the protruding part of the limiting slider 125 engages with the rear end of the switch 121, thus locking the switch 121. In this state, based on the sliding restriction of the switch 121 by the limiting slider 125 on the drive slider 123 and the sliding restriction of the drive slider 123 by the locking slider 131, the switch 121 cannot slide effectively when pressed.

[0080] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 110 is provided with a first inclined surface 116, and the end of the limiting slider 125 (i.e., on the slider head 1251) is provided with a matching second inclined surface 1254. When the anti-accidental touch switch 133 is pressed to release the locking slider 131 from the limiting slider 125, when the transfer switch 121 is pressed, initially, the transfer switch 121 will drive the drive slider 123 to slide synchronously in the direction shown by arrow X through the limiting slider 125. During the sliding process, the drive slider 123 will press the button 300. As the sliding distance increases, after the second inclined surface 1254 contacts and begins frictional engagement with the first inclined surface 116, the limiting slider 125, under the action of the first inclined surface 116, overcomes the elastic force of the fifth elastic element 126 and slides relative to the driving slider 123 into a retracted state. When the limiting slider 125 slides to the point of separation from the switch 121, the driving slider 123 will automatically reset under the action of the fourth elastic element 124, thus ending the pressing of the button 300. Therefore, with this design, even if the pressing distance of the switch 121 is long, the button 300 will not be over-pressed, effectively protecting the button 300 from damage.

[0081] The action of the drive slider 123 on the button 300 is similar to the above description. The drive slider 123 can directly contact the button 300 to press it, or another transmission structure can be set in the middle to transmit the force of the drive slider 123 to the button 300, so as to indirectly trigger the action of the button 300.

[0082] The following is a specific embodiment of the method of indirectly pressing button 300 by driving slider 123. Please refer to it again. Figure 3 and further combine Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 The cross-sectional structure of the adapter button 100 is shown. Figure 15The exploded structure of part of the adapter assembly 120 is shown. As shown, the adapter assembly 120 also includes a first adapter slider 1271, a gear 1281, a second adapter slider 1272, a rotating block 1282, a third adapter slider 1273, an adapter rod 1283, a sixth elastic element 1291, a seventh elastic element 1292, and an eighth elastic element 1293.

[0083] The first adapter slider 1271 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 110. The sliding direction of the first adapter slider 1271 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the drive slider 123, as indicated by the double arrow Z in the figure. A third inclined surface 1232 is provided on one side of the drive slider 123, and a fourth inclined surface 12711 is provided at one end of the first adapter slider 1271. When the drive slider 123 slides, the friction between the third inclined surface 1232 and the fourth inclined surface 12711 drives the first adapter slider 1271 to move... Figure 14 Slide downwards from the viewing angle. The sixth elastic element 1291 is connected between the first adapter slider 1271 and the mounting base 110, and is used to provide a reset elastic force to the first adapter slider 1271 to ensure that after the drive slider 123 is reset, the first adapter slider 1271 can slide upwards to reset under the elastic force of the sixth elastic element 1291.

[0084] Gear 1281 is rotatably mounted on mounting base 110, and second adapter slider 1272 is slidably mounted on mounting base 110. One side of the first adapter slider 1271 has a first rack 12712, and one side of the second adapter slider 1272 has a second rack 12721. Both the first rack 12712 and the second rack 12721 mesh with gear 1281. The sliding directions of the first adapter slider 1271 and the second adapter slider 1272 are different; they can be perpendicular to each other as shown in the figure, or they can form acute or obtuse angles, depending on actual needs. When the first adapter slider 1271 slides downwards, it drives gear 1281 to rotate counterclockwise via the first rack 12712, which in turn drives the second adapter slider 1272 to slide to the right via the second rack 12721.

[0085] The rotating block 1282 is rotatably connected to the mounting base at hinge point S. The third adapter slider 1273 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 110. Both ends of the rotating block 1282 are movably connected to the second adapter slider 1272 and the third adapter slider 1273, respectively. When the second adapter slider 1272 slides, it drives the rotating block 1282 to rotate clockwise at one end. Correspondingly, the other end of the rotating block 1282 pushes the third adapter slider 1273 to slide to the left. The seventh elastic element 1292 is connected between the rotating block 1282 and the mounting base 110, providing a counter-clockwise return force to the rotating block 1282. The seventh elastic element 1292 can be a compression spring as shown in the figure, or a torsion spring.

[0086] The adapter rod 1283 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 110. The sliding direction of the adapter rod 1283 is perpendicular to the third adapter slider 1273, as indicated by the double arrow Z in the figure. The third adapter slider 1273 and the adapter rod 1283 are engaged by inclined friction. When the third adapter slider 1273 slides to the left, the friction between the inclined surfaces causes the adapter rod 1283 to slide downwards and protrude from the mounting base 110, thus pressing the button 300 on the embedded flat panel display 210 to trigger the button 300. The eighth elastic element 1293 is connected between the adapter rod 1283 and the mounting base 110 to provide an upward sliding reset force to the adapter rod 1283.

[0087] The aforementioned sliding and rotation directions are merely specific illustrations based on the examples in the figures and do not constitute a limitation on the sliding direction of each component. In other embodiments, the sliding and rotation directions of each component can be adaptively adjusted to achieve this transmission relationship.

[0088] Furthermore, an inclined section 12731 can be provided on the third adapter slider 1273, and an inclined sleeve 12831 can be provided at one end of the adapter rod 1283. The inclined sleeve 12831 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the inclined section 12731. This arrangement makes the inclined surface friction fit formed between the third adapter slider 1273 and the adapter rod 1283 more stable and reliable. Figure 15 As shown, a guide rail and a guide groove that cooperate with each other can be provided between the inner wall of the inclined sleeve interface 12831 and the inclined section 12731, so as to achieve a better guiding effect by the inclined surface friction cooperation and prevent jamming or even jamming.

[0089] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only an exemplary implementation of the drive slider 123 indirectly pressing the button 300. In other embodiments, depending on the arrangement position and pressing direction requirements, for example, only the first adapter slider 1271 can be set. Accordingly, after the drive slider 123 drives the first adapter slider 1271 to slide through the inclined friction engagement, the first adapter slider 1271 directly presses the button 300. Alternatively, the first adapter slider 1271, gear 1281, and second adapter slider 1272 can be set. Accordingly, the drive slider 123 drives the second adapter slider 1272 to slide through the transmission of the first adapter slider 1271 and gear 1281, and the second adapter slider 1272 directly presses the button 300. Alternatively, a first adapter slider 1271, a gear 1281, a second adapter slider 1272, a rotating block 1282, and a third adapter slider 1273 can be configured. Correspondingly, the drive slider 123 drives the third adapter slider 1273 to slide via the transmission of the first adapter slider 1271, gear 1281, second adapter slider 1272, and rotating block 1282, thereby pressing button 300. The specific number and position of the elastic elements can be set according to the reset requirements of the corresponding components in different schemes.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
