[0002] Buttons are commonly used in flexible control panels or keyboards of electronic devices; buttons can be set independently or connected to each other. The following problems exist in the current market: Some buttons are installed independently from the front cover, making installation inconvenient; while others are connected by a straight strip-shaped connector, but when one button is pressed, it is easy to cause adjacent buttons to be accidentally triggered. The technical problem this invention addresses is: to provide a link button that reduces accidental triggering. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention addresses is: providing a link button that reduces accidental triggering; by setting a first connecting part with an S-shaped cross-section between adjacent small buttons, a flexible connection between the buttons is achieved. The S-shaped cross-section has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, allowing each small button to generate independent displacement when pressed, thereby improving the overall tactile consistency and rebound performance of the buttons. At the same time, this design can avoid structural stress concentration or jamming problems caused by rigid connections while maintaining a compact button arrangement, making it suitable for button components that require a continuous and smooth pressing experience.

[0004] An S-shaped link button includes several small buttons spaced apart; adjacent small buttons are connected by a first link; and the cross-section of the first link is S-shaped.

[0005] Preferably, the two ends of the first connecting part are integrally formed with two adjacent small buttons.

[0006] Preferably, a large button is also provided; and the large button and the small button are connected by a second connecting part.

[0007] Preferably, the second connecting part is integrally formed with the large button and the small button.

[0008] Preferably, a through groove is formed on the second connecting part.

[0009] Preferably, the first connecting part is made of PC or ABS material.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention's S-shaped link button achieves a flexible connection between adjacent small buttons by setting a first link with an S-shaped cross-section between them. The S-shaped cross-section has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, allowing each small button to move independently under pressure, thereby improving the overall button's tactile consistency and rebound performance. Simultaneously, this design avoids structural stress concentration or jamming problems caused by rigid connections while maintaining a compact button arrangement, making it suitable for button components requiring a continuous and smooth pressing experience.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation methods described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation methods consistent with this disclosure.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, an S-shaped link button includes a plurality of small buttons 1 spaced apart; adjacent small buttons 1 are connected by a first link 2; and the cross-section of the first link 2 is S-shaped.

[0022] Specifically, a flexible connection between the buttons is achieved by setting a first connecting part 2 with an S-shaped cross-section between adjacent small buttons 1. The S-shaped cross-section has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, allowing each small button 1 to generate independent displacement when pressed, thereby improving the overall tactile consistency and rebound performance of the buttons. At the same time, this design can avoid structural stress concentration or jamming problems caused by rigid connections while maintaining a compact button arrangement, making it suitable for button components that require a continuous and smooth pressing experience.

[0023] Furthermore, the two ends of the first connecting part 2 are integrally formed with the two adjacent small buttons 1.

[0024] Specifically, by integrally molding the two ends of the first connecting part 2 with the two adjacent small buttons 1, the problems of detachment, loosening, or assembly errors that may occur with traditional assembly connections are avoided, thus improving the overall strength and stability of the structure. The integral molding structure also ensures a smooth transition between the connecting part and the small buttons 1, further enhancing the overall flexibility and durability of the buttons, so that they can maintain good rebound performance and service life even during frequent pressing or bending. The connection is made with an S-shaped connecting part, which has good flexibility, so that when one button is pressed, it will not cause the adjacent buttons to be accidentally triggered.

[0025] Furthermore, a large button 3 is provided; and the large button 3 and the small button 1 are connected by a second connecting part 4.

[0026] Specifically, by setting a second connecting part 4 to connect the large button 3 and the small button 1, a flexible connection between buttons of different sizes is achieved. The presence of the second connecting part 4 allows the large button 3 and the small button 1 to produce coordinated displacement and rebound when subjected to force, thereby ensuring the consistency of the overall operating feel. At the same time, while meeting the independent operation requirements of the large button 3, this design can also absorb some stress through flexible connection, avoiding structural deformation or button malfunction caused by size differences, thus improving the reliability and user comfort of the overall device.

[0027] Furthermore, the second connecting part 4 is integrally formed with the large button 3 and the small button 1.

[0028] Specifically, by adopting an integrated molding structure between the second connecting part 4, the large button 3, and the small button 1, no additional assembly or connection is required during the manufacturing process, resulting in a stronger overall structure. This integrated molding design not only improves the strength and stability of the connection, preventing loosening or breakage caused by repeated pressing during use, but also ensures a more uniform elastic transmission effect in the connecting part. This results in more coordinated pressing feedback and a longer service life for the large button 3 and the small button 1 during operation.

[0029] Furthermore, a through groove 5 is formed on the second link 4.

[0030] Specifically, by forming a through groove 5 through the second connecting part 4, the connecting part has better flexibility and bendability. The presence of the through groove 5 reduces the material thickness to a certain extent, facilitating elastic deformation during pressing, thereby improving the smoothness of the linkage and the rebound effect between the large button 3 and the small button 1. At the same time, the through groove 5 also plays a role in weight reduction and cushioning, helping to reduce operating resistance and extend the service life of the button structure.

[0031] Furthermore, the first connecting part 2 is made of PC or ABS material.

[0032] Specifically, the first connecting part 2 is made of either PC or ABS material. The excellent toughness and moldability of both ensure that the connecting part retains good elastic recovery and fatigue resistance even under frequent pressing and bending. PC material has high strength and impact resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring higher structural strength; while ABS material offers better processability and a softer feel, improving the comfort of button operation. By selecting these two types of engineering plastics, good flexible connection and long-term durability can be achieved while ensuring structural strength.

[0033] Furthermore, both the large button 3 and the small button 1 have a limiting part 6 formed at their bottom; and the limiting part 6 is cross-shaped.

[0034] Specifically, a cross-shaped limiting part 6 is provided at the bottom of both the large button 3 and the small button 1. Through the multi-directional support characteristics of the cross structure, the lateral displacement and tilt of the button are effectively limited when it is pressed, ensuring that the button can be pressed down stably in the vertical direction. The cross-shaped limiting part 6 also provides a guiding function during the rebound process, improving the button's reset accuracy and smoothness, while enhancing the overall structure's resistance to deformation, thereby making the button operation more stable and reliable and extending its service life.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
