[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 The image shows a touchscreen switch according to the first embodiment of this utility model, including a housing, a switch body 30 disposed within the housing, and a touchscreen 20 disposed on the housing. The touchscreen 20 is electrically connected to the switch body 30. The touchscreen switch also includes a pressing module disposed between the housing and the touchscreen 20. The housing includes a lower shell 10 and a fixing frame fixed to one side of the lower shell 10. The pressing module includes a contact switch 50 disposed on the fixing frame. The contact switch 50 is electrically connected to the switch body 30. The touchscreen 20 has a pressing member 60 disposed on the side near the housing, corresponding to the contact switch 50. An elastic member is disposed between the pressing member 60 and the fixing frame.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic element is used to support the touch screen 20 and the pressing element 60 away from the contact switch 50, and to restore the touch screen 20 after pressing the contact switch 50.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the fixing frame includes a fixing plate 44 fixed inside the housing and a mounting plate 41 fixed to one side of the fixing plate 44. A receiving groove for fixing the contact switch 50 is provided between the fixing plate 44 and the mounting plate 41. The fixing plate 44 is also provided with components that connect to the switch body 30 inside the lower housing 10. The fixing frame also includes fastening bolts for fixing the fixing plate 44 and the mounting plate 41. The fixing plate 44 has a through groove corresponding to the fastening bolt. The mounting plate 41 has a support column on the side near the fixing plate 44, and the support column has a threaded groove corresponding to the fastening bolt. In addition, bolts for fixing the fixing frame to the lower housing 10 are also provided at the corners of the mounting plate 41.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 41 has a mounting groove 42 corresponding to the touch screen 20, and a pressing groove 43 extending through the mounting groove 42. The pressing groove 43 corresponds to the contact switch 50. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing member 60 includes a pressing plate 61 fixed to one side of the touch screen 20, and a pressing rod 62 extending from one side of the pressing plate 61 toward the side of the contact switch 50.

[0029] The aforementioned pressing member 60 is fixed to the back of the touch screen 20. The pressing member 60 is movably disposed relative to the mounting plate 41. The pressing rod 62 is correspondingly disposed with the pressing groove 43. The aforementioned pressing member 60 also includes a limiting block disposed on one side of the pressing plate 61. The mounting plate 41 is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the pressing plate 61 to prevent the touch screen 20 from detaching from the mounting bracket during the pressing process.

[0030] Preferably, the elastic element includes an arc-shaped spring piece 71 disposed between the pressing plate 61 and the mounting plate 41. The pressing plate 61 is inclined relative to the housing. The pressing plate 61 includes a placement portion disposed near the mounting plate 41 and an inclined portion disposed relatively away from the mounting plate 41. The arc-shaped spring piece 71 includes a connecting portion fixed to one end of the placement portion and an arc-shaped portion disposed at one end of the connecting portion. The arc-shaped portion includes a lifting portion for abutting against and lifting the inclined portion. Specifically, one end of the arc-shaped spring piece 71 is fixed to one side of the pressing plate 61, and the other end is arc-shaped, used to lift the touch screen 20. When the touch screen 20 is pressed, the pressing rod 62 contacts the contact switch 50 to complete the switching operation. At this time, the arc-shaped spring piece 71 deforms from an arc shape to a flat shape. After being released, the arc-shaped spring piece 71 returns to its original shape, lifting the touch screen 20 and moving the pressing rod 62 away from the contact switch 50. Understandably, with the tilted touchscreen 20 set relative to the flat surface, the spring force of the spring 72 and the curved spring piece 71 can be set to be greater when pressing straight up and down, so as to improve the stability of the touchscreen operation. When pressing, pressing down on the side of the touchscreen 20 closer to the tilted part can be more effortless and easier to operate.

[0031] Furthermore, in other embodiments of this application, the aforementioned elastic element includes a spring 72 disposed on the pressing rod 62, with both ends of the spring 72 fixed to the pressing plate 61 and the mounting plate 41, respectively. Specifically, one side of the bottom of the pressing groove 43 extends inward to form a step, and the end of the spring 72 away from the pressing plate 61 is fixed to the step.

[0032] Understandably, in this embodiment, the elastic element includes both an arc-shaped spring 71 and a spring 72, so that the touch screen 20 tends to be in a relatively stable state when it is not pressed, so as not to affect normal touch screen operation and improve the user experience.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing also includes a fixing portion extending outward from one end of the lower housing 10 near the fixing frame. Bolts are provided on the fixing portion to fix the touchscreen switch to the electronic device. Preferably, the touchscreen switch also includes an upper housing for covering the housing, the upper housing having an operation groove corresponding to the touchscreen 20, and the bottom of the upper housing being fixed to the electronic device by a snap-fit.

[0034] In summary, the touch screen switch in this embodiment integrates touch operation and physical pressing by setting a pressing module between the housing and the touch screen 20: it retains the interactive flexibility of the touch screen 20 and provides physical feedback during key operations, thus solving the problems of accidental touch and blind operation.

[0035] A second embodiment of this application provides an electronic device including the touchscreen switch described in the above embodiments. The electronic device further includes a circuit control module connected to the switch body 30. The switch body 30 is controlled via the touchscreen 20 or the contact switch 50 of the touchscreen switch, thereby controlling the circuit control module of the electronic device.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
