Optionally, the component base 220 can be made of a light-absorbing material, or a light-absorbing coating can be coated on the upper and lower surfaces of the component base 220 to avoid light leakage.

[0037] To prevent damage to the key 12 when excessive downward pressure is applied, a key pad 35 can be provided on the side of the assembly base 220 facing the key 12. The key pad 35 can be made of a flexible material, thereby converting a hard impact into a soft impact. The key pad 35 can be bonded to the assembly base 220, but is not limited thereto.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the device 100 also includes a light-shielding sheet 40 arranged between the component base 220 and the upper cover plate 21. The light-shielding sheet 40 is provided with a through hole at the position facing the functional identification pattern 210, and the remaining position is blocked above the component base 220. The light-shielding sheet 40 can be made of black light-absorbing material to achieve a shielding effect.

[0039] Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 . FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the lower surface of the upper cover plate 21 shown in FIG. 2 .

[0040] In one embodiment, the upper cover 21 and the lighting equalizing component 22 are detachably connected in a magnetically coupled manner. Specifically, the upper cover 21 is provided with a first magnetic pole 211, and the upper surface of the component base 220 is provided with a second magnetic pole 2201. The first magnetic pole 211 and the second magnetic pole 2201 have opposite polarities and attract each other, thereby keeping the upper cover 21 and the component base 220 relatively fixed. The magnetic structure is simple to set up and easy to disassemble and assemble. A plurality of first magnetic poles 211 and second magnetic poles 2201 can be provided, which are attracted to each other one by one. In this embodiment, two first magnetic poles 211 and two second magnetic poles 2201 are provided. The dotted line in Figure 6 indicates that the second magnetic pole 2201 is blocked by the light shielding plate 40.

[0041] In one embodiment, one of the upper cover plate 21 and the light-evening assembly 22 is provided with a positioning structure 212, and the other is provided with a positioning and mating structure 223. The positioning structures 212 and 223 are positioned in a plane parallel to the upper cover plate 21. One of the positioning structures 212 and 223 is provided with a positioning hole, and the other is provided with a positioning post, which is inserted into the positioning hole. This prevents relative sliding between the upper cover plate 21 and the light-evening assembly 22, ensuring the stability of the position between them.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 212 is configured as a positioning hole, and the positioning and mating structure 223 is configured as a positioning post. The depth of the positioning hole is less than the thickness of the upper cover plate 21; that is, the positioning hole does not penetrate the upper surface of the upper cover plate 21. Multiple sets of positioning structures 212 and positioning and mating structures 223 can be provided, with each set of positioning structures 212 and positioning and mating structures 223 corresponding to each other. More specifically, the upper surface of the component base 220 is provided with a positioning post, which can be inserted into the positioning hole of the upper cover plate 21 through a clearance hole provided in the light shielding sheet 40.

[0043] Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is a schematic diagram showing a gap 23 provided at the edge between the lower surface of the upper cover plate 21 and the upper surface of the illumination light-evening component 22 .

[0044] In one embodiment, a gap 23 is provided between an edge 213 of the lower surface of the upper cover 21 facing the light-equalizing assembly 22 and the upper surface of the light-equalizing assembly 22. A pressing portion 24 is provided on the upper surface of the upper cover 21 opposite the gap 23 to facilitate removal of the upper cover 21. This gap 23 provides room for movement of the upper cover 21. When the pressing portion 24 is pressed, the upper cover 21 can be tilted upward, facilitating removal of the upper cover 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, at least two gaps 23 are provided, and at least two gaps 23 are provided at two edge portions 213 of the upper cover plate 21 and spaced 180° apart. In an embodiment in which the upper cover plate 21 is provided as a square cover plate, gaps 23 can be provided at two diagonal corners of the upper cover plate 21. With this arrangement, when the pressing portion 24 of the upper cover plate 21 is pressed, the upper cover plate 21 moves downward at the gap 23 and tilts up at the other gap 23, and the tilting distance is larger, making it easier for the user to grasp. For example, the gap 23 can be formed by providing a smaller thickness at the edge portion 213 of the upper cover plate 21. In this embodiment, the gap 23 is formed by providing a chamfer at the edge portion 213.

[0046] Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 9 again. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of the housing 50 .

[0047] The device 100 also includes a housing 50, within which the control module 10 and the battery module 30 are housed. An elastic support member 51 is provided within the housing 50, and the upper module 20 is supported by the elastic support member 51. This configuration allows the housing 50 to accommodate the control module 10 and the battery module 30, preventing them from moving, while also concealing the elastic support member 51. This results in a simple, compact appearance and high integration. The battery module 30 can utilize a CR2032 battery, but is not limited thereto and can also utilize other rechargeable batteries.

[0048] In one embodiment, the elastic support member 51 includes a cantilever-type support leg integrally formed in the housing 50. In this way, no elastic member such as a spring is required, the structure is simple, and the processing technology is good. There can be multiple elastic support members 51, and multiple elastic support members 51 jointly support the upper module 20, the supporting force is uniform, and the force on each support leg is small. In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, there are four elastic support members 51, which are arranged opposite to each other in pairs. Among them, the up and down floating range of the elastic support member 51 is the entire stroke of the device 100. When not pressed, the elastic support member 51 is in the initial position. The elastic support member 51 is supported on the bottom of the lighting equalization component 22, and the button 12 is in contact with the button gasket 35. When the upper cover 21 is pressed, the upper cover 21 drives the lighting equalization component 22 to move downward, the stroke is compressed, and the pressure is transmitted to the button 12 and triggers the signal sending unit.

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , a partition 60 is provided within the housing 50. The partition 60 can be screwed to the housing 50, and the control module 10 is supported and connected above the partition 60. The battery module 30 is disposed below the partition 60. A hole 61 is provided in the middle of the partition 60, and a spring is provided on the control module 10 opposite the hole 61, which is electrically connected to the battery module 30.

[0050] The housing 50 includes a bottom shell 52 and an annular wall 53 located below the battery module 30.
