[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024220558236, filed on August 22, 2024, entitled "A control switch", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety;

In order to meet the continuous improvement of people's driving demand in the vehicle cabin, various multifunctional control switches are provided. However, most of the existing vehicle switches only have a single function, and the higher the configuration of the vehicle, the more switches in the vehicle. A large number of switches result in a cluttered operation panel, which is not convenient for the driver to control, and reduces the driving safety. Among the many switches, the scroll wheel switch is one of the common control switches in the vehicle cabin, which adjusts different gears through its own rotation.

The magnetic field sensor senses the change of the magnetic field, and outputs a signal to realize adjustment of different gears. However, this scheme using a magnetic ring has relatively small change of the magnetic field when rotating, and the magnetic field sensor is easy to fail to sense the change of the magnetic field, resulting in signal loss or no signal output phenomenon, which makes the gear adjustment function invalid, causes poor user experience, and reduces the competitiveness of the vehicle in the market.

[0060] Wherein, the rolling piece 120 is rotationally connected with the shielding support 110, a plurality of the magnetic pieces 130 are arranged in the rolling piece 120 at intervals along the inner periphery of the rolling piece 120, and the polarity of any two adjacent magnetic pieces 130 is different. The magnetic field sensor 140 is arranged on the shielding support 110 and located directly below the rolling piece 120, and the magnetic field sensor 140 and the rolling piece 120 have a spacing therebetween.

[0061] The control switch 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is connected with the shielding support 110 through the rolling member 120, and a plurality of magnetic members 130 are arranged in the rolling member 120 at intervals along the inner periphery of the rolling member 120, and the polarity of any two adjacent magnetic members 130 is different, so that when the rolling member 120 rotates, the plurality of magnetic members 130 in the rolling member 120 can rotate synchronously to cause a great change in the magnetic field.

[0062] Meanwhile, the magnetic field sensor 140 is arranged on the shielding support 110 below the rolling member 120, and there is a gap between the magnetic field sensor 140 and the rolling member 120, so that when the rolling member 120 rotates to cause a great change in the magnetic field, the magnetic field sensor 140 can sensitively sense the change in the magnetic field to output a signal to realize the adjustment of different gears, avoid the phenomenon of signal loss or no signal output, ensure the adjustment stability of the gear adjustment function, and effectively improve the user experience and market competitiveness of the vehicle.

[0063] In addition, the shielding support 110 can shield the interference of external magnetic field changes on the magnetic field sensor 140, improve the anti-magnetic interference of the control switch 100, avoid the mis-triggering of the gear adjustment function, and further ensure the adjustment stability of the gear adjustment function, and further improve the user experience and market competitiveness of the vehicle.

[0064] For example, the shielding support 110 can be integrally formed by using a soft magnetic material, a high-conductive material, a magnetic composite material, or an organic material, etc. The rolling member 120 can be hingedly connected with the shielding support 110 through a rotating shaft to realize the rotating connection, or can be directly connected with the shielding support 110. In some embodiments, the magnetic member 130 can be a permanent magnet, and in other embodiments, the magnetic member 110 can also be an electromagnet. The magnetic field sensor 140 can be a Hall sensor. To ensure the accurate positioning and stable installation of the magnetic member 130 in the rolling member 120, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of positioning grooves are arranged at intervals along the inner periphery of the rolling member 120, and the positioning grooves are one-to-one matched with the magnetic members 130. Specifically, the magnetic member 130 is embedded in the corresponding positioning groove and is limited by the positioning groove, so that the magnetic member 130 will not be displaced or loosened during the synchronous rotation with the rolling member 120.

[0065] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in one embodiment of the present application, the control switch 100 further comprises a rotating member 150, the rolling member 120 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 150, and the rotating member 150 is rotatably connected with the shielding support 110.

[0066] In the embodiment, the rotating piece 150 is rotatably connected with the shielding support 110, so that the rotating piece 150 can rotate relative to the shielding support 110, and the rolling piece 120 is fixedly connected to the rotating piece 150, so that the rolling piece 120 can rotate relative to the shielding support 110 synchronously with the rotating piece 150, thereby driving the plurality of magnetic pieces 130 inside to rotate synchronously, so that the magnetic field is greatly changed and sensed by the magnetic field sensor 140.

[0067] For example, the rotating piece 150 can be a rotating shaft, and the rolling piece 120 can be fixedly connected to the rotating piece 150 in a snap connection, screw connection, or one-piece forming manner.

[0068] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the above embodiment of the application, the shielding support 110 is provided with a first mounting hole 111 and a second mounting hole 112, one end of the rotating piece 150 is arranged in the first mounting hole 111 and rotatably connected with the hole wall of the first mounting hole 111, and the other end of the rotating piece 150 away from the first mounting hole 111 is arranged in the second mounting hole 112 and rotatably connected with the hole wall of the second mounting hole 112.

[0069] In the embodiment, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 are arranged on the shielding support 110, one end of the rotating piece 150 is arranged in the first mounting hole 111 and rotatably connected with the hole wall of the first mounting hole 111, and the other end of the rotating piece 150 away from the first mounting hole 111 is arranged in the second mounting hole 112 and rotatably connected with the hole wall of the second mounting hole 112, so as to rotatably connect the rotating piece 150 with the shielding support 110, thereby enabling the rolling piece 120 fixedly connected to the rotating piece 150 to rotate relative to the shielding support 110.

[0070] For example, the two ends of the rotating piece 150 can be rotatably connected with the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 in a clearance fit manner.

[0071] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in the above embodiment of the application, the control switch 100 further comprises a movable assembly 160, the shielding support 110 is provided with a third mounting hole 113 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating piece 150, one end of the movable assembly 160 is movably arranged in the third mounting hole 113, and the other end of the movable assembly 160 away from the third mounting hole 113 is movably abutted with the rotating piece 150.

[0072] In the embodiment, the one end of the movable assembly 160 is movably arranged in the third mounting hole 113 by opening the third mounting hole 113 on the shielding support 110 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating member 150, and the other end of the movable assembly 160 is movably abutted with the rotating member 150, so as to damp the rotation of the rotating member 150 under the movable abutting action of the movable assembly 160 and the rotating member 150, thereby effectively improving the operation feeling of the user in the operation of the rolling member 120.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, in the above embodiment of the present application, optionally, the movable assembly 160 comprises a movable member 161 and an elastic member 162, the one end of the movable member 161 is movably arranged in the third mounting hole 113, the other end of the movable member 161 is movably abutted with the rotating member 150, and the elastic member 162 is arranged in the third mounting hole 113 and abutted with the bottom wall of the third mounting hole 113 and the other end of the movable member 161 away from the rotating member 150, respectively.

[0074] In the embodiment, the one end of the movable member 161 is movably arranged in the third mounting hole 113, and the other end of the movable member 161 is movably abutted with the rotating member 150, so as to damp the rotation of the rotating member 150 under the movable abutting action of the movable member 161 and the rotating member 150, thereby effectively improving the operation feeling of the user in the operation of the rolling member 120.

[0075] Meanwhile, the elastic member 162 is arranged in the third mounting hole 113 and abutted with the bottom wall of the third mounting hole 113 and the other end of the movable member 161 away from the rotating member 150, respectively, so as to keep the movable member 161 and the rotating member 150 abutted under the elastic force of the elastic member 162, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the damping effect.

[0076] For example, the movable member 161 can be a movable column, and the elastic member 162 can be a column spring or a spring sheet.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, in the above embodiment of the present application, optionally, the third mounting hole 113 is provided with a mounting column 114, the elastic member 162 is movably sleeved on the mounting column 114 and abutted with the bottom wall of the third mounting hole 113 and the other end of the movable member 161 away from the rotating member 150, respectively.

[0078] In the embodiment, by arranging the mounting column 114 in the third mounting hole 113, movably sleeving the elastic member 162 on the mounting column 114, and abutting the bottom wall of the third mounting hole 113 and the end of the movable member 161 away from the rotating member 150 respectively, the installation stability of the elastic member 162 can be effectively improved, so that the movable member 161 and the rotating member 150 always stably abut under the elastic force of the elastic member 162, thereby further ensuring the stability of the damping effect.

[0079] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, a plurality of arc-shaped matching portions 151 matched with the movable member 161 are optionally arranged along the circumference of the rotating member 150.

[0080] In the embodiment, by arranging the plurality of arc-shaped matching portions 151 matched with the movable member 161 along the circumference of the rotating member 150, one functional gear position corresponds to one magnetic member 130 and one arc-shaped matching portion 151. When the user rotates the rolling member 120 to drive the rotating member 150 to rotate synchronously by a predetermined angle, the movable member 161 is changed from abutting one arc-shaped matching portion 151 to abutting another adjacent arc-shaped matching portion 151, and the damping energy generated in the changing process can be fed back to the user's finger to prompt the user whether the gear position adjustment is in place, thereby effectively improving the precision of the gear position adjustment and the user's experience.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 1, in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the control switch 100 further comprises a shielding cover 170, the shielding cover 170 is arranged on the shielding support 110, and the shielding cover 170 is provided with an avoiding hole 171 configured to avoid the rolling member 120, and the end of the rolling member 120 away from the shielding support 110 is arranged in the avoiding hole 171 outside the shielding cover 170.

[0082] In the embodiment, by arranging the shielding cover 170 on the shielding support 110, the shielding cover 170 and the shielding support 110 jointly shield the interference of external magnetic field changes on the magnetic field sensor 140, thereby further improving the anti-magnetic interference of the control switch 100, further avoiding the mis-triggering of the gear position adjustment function, thereby further ensuring the adjustment stability of the gear position adjustment function, and further improving the user's experience and the market competitiveness of the vehicle.

[0083] Meanwhile, by arranging the avoiding hole 171 configured to avoid the rolling member 120 on the shielding cover 170, and arranging the end of the rolling member 120 away from the shielding support 110 in the avoiding hole 171 outside the shielding cover 170, the operation position of the user is provided, and the user can easily rotate the rolling member 120 by the finger.

[0084] Exemplarily, the shielding cover 170 can be integrally formed by using a soft magnetic material, a high-conductive material, a magnetic composite material, or an organic material, etc.

[0085] In addition, referring to Fig. 2 again, the shielding bracket 110 includes the box body 101 and the base 103 which are matched with each other.

Specifically, the switch assembly includes a circuit board which is mounted on a mounting bracket, and a tactile switch 107 is arranged on the circuit board. The tactile switch 107 has a certain elastic force and can return to the initial position after the pressing external force is removed. The tactile switch 107 is a standard electronic component in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described herein.

[0086] Further, a waterproof member 105 is arranged between the box body 101 and the base 103. The waterproof member 105 is arranged above the tactile switch 107 and is configured to prevent impurities such as liquid or dust from entering the gap between the box body 101 and the base 103, thereby avoiding the short circuit, malfunction or failure of the tactile switch 107 or the circuit board. The waterproof member 105 is preferably integrally formed by using a silica gel material through a pouring process and has good elasticity and sealing performance. In the assembled state, the movable member 161 applies a pre-pressing force to the waterproof member 105, and the pre-pressing amount is preferably 0.3 mm. The waterproof member 105 not only realizes the sealing function but also supports the roller assembly, thereby effectively reducing the shaking amount of the roller assembly in the horizontal direction and improving the operation stability and hand feeling.

[0087] In addition, the box body 101 and the base 103 are detachably connected through a buckle structure. After assembly is completed, the waterproof member 105 is subjected to uniform pressure between the box body 101 and the base 103, thereby ensuring the reliability in terms of sealing performance. A matching rib 1031 which is in interference fit with the waterproof member 105 is arranged on the base 103, so as to further enhance the sealing performance and structural stability and prevent liquid or dust from penetrating from the matching surface.

[0088] As shown in Fig. 4, the control switch 100 further includes a housing 180 and a lamp body. The shielding bracket 110 is connected with the housing 180 and together defines a mounting space which is configured to accommodate internal components. A lamp plate 181 is located in the mounting space and is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 180. The lamp plate 181 is configured to emit light rays to illuminate the operation marks, gear symbols or graphic information on the housing 180. Optionally, the lamp plate 181 can be in the form of a flexible PCB (FPC) or a rigid PCB board, on which a plurality of light emitting elements such as LED lamps, patch LEDs, micro lamp beads, etc. are mounted. The light emitting elements can emit white light, colored light or dynamic light effects according to the needs, thereby improving the visual recognition and aesthetics of the product.

[0089] In addition, the control switch provided by the embodiment of the present application is internally covered by the waterproof member 150 to cover the switch assembly 140, so that water, dust and the like outside can be prevented from entering the switch assembly 140 to cause short circuit or malfunction of the switch assembly 140, and the control switch can be used in different use environments.

[0090] The control switch comprises a shell 100, a key assembly 120, a mounting frame 130 and a switch assembly 140.

[0091] The shell 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110; the mounting frame 130 is connected with the shell 100 and defines a mounting space, and the mounting hole 110 is in communication with the mounting space, and the mounting frame 130 is configured to block the opening in communication between the mounting hole 110 and the mounting space; the key assembly 120 is at least partially arranged in the mounting hole 110 and can slide in the mounting hole 110; the switch assembly 140 is arranged on the mounting frame 130 and located in the mounting space, and under the action of an external force, the key assembly 120 can slide along the mounting hole 110 and trigger the switch assembly 140 to be turned on or turned off; the switch assembly 140 is provided with a waterproof member 150 and located in the mounting space.

[0092] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the key assembly 120 is partially located in the mounting hole 110, and after the key assembly 120 is subjected to an external force, the key assembly 120 can slide a certain distance in the mounting hole 110, so that the force can be transmitted to the switch assembly 140 located in the waterproof member 150 in the sliding process, so as to turn on or turn off the switch assembly 140. In order to realize accurate pressing, the control point of the switch assembly 140 can be arranged directly below the mounting hole 110, so that the switch assembly 140 can accurately bear the pressing force from the key assembly 120; when the external force is no longer configured to the key assembly 120, the key assembly 120 is restored to the initial position in the mounting hole 110 under the elastic force of the waterproof member 150 and the inherent elastic force of the switch assembly 140, and the elastic force of the waterproof member 150 and the switch assembly 140 will be described in detail below, which will not be described in detail here. The above is the overall working process of the control switch of the present application.

[0093] In the embodiment, the mounting hole 110 is a through hole. The size and position of the hole are not limited herein and can be set according to different shapes of the shell 100 and actual use scenarios. In order to facilitate the installation of the switch assembly 140, a mounting rack 130 is mounted on the shell 100. The mounting rack 130 and the shell 100 form a mounting space for the installation of the switch assembly 140. Specifically, the switch assembly 140 is mounted on the mounting rack 130 and can bear the pressing force from the key assembly 120, so that the switch assembly 140 does not deform and can bear a certain pressing force. It can be understood that the mounting rack 130 provides a platform for the installation of the switch assembly 140 to bear the pressing force from the key assembly 120.

[0094] In the application, in order to prevent the switch assembly 140 from short circuiting or being damaged, the waterproof member 150 can be used to cover the switch assembly 140, so as to prevent external water and dust from entering the position of the switch assembly 140. Specifically, the waterproof member 150 can cover the key pressing point. At this time, the position of the waterproof member 150 is located directly below the mounting hole 110. The waterproof member 150 can be deformed under force and can return to the original state after the force disappears. In order to enable the waterproof member 150 to have this characteristic, the waterproof member 150 can be made of a material such as silicone or rubber, which can return to the initial state after being released from force. The material is only an example in the embodiment and is not limited herein.

[0095] The key assembly 120 includes a button 121, a key bracket 122 and a key pressing ring 123. The button 121 is snap-fitted and mounted to one end of the key bracket 122. The key pressing ring 123 is snap-fitted and mounted to the other end of the key bracket 122. The inner hole of the key bracket 122 and the key pressing ring 123 in communication forms a light path channel 160.

[0096] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 15, the key bracket 122 is located between the button 121 and the key pressing ring 123. In the embodiment, the key bracket 122 is connected to the button 121 and the key pressing ring 123 by using the buckle and the groove connection mode.

[0097] In addition to the clamping connection, the button 121, the key holder 122 and the key pressing ring 123 can be connected in other embodiments by a threaded connection or a combination of a threaded connection and clamping. For example, the button 121 is threadedly connected to the end of the key holder 122, and the key pressing ring 123 is threadedly connected to the other end of the key holder 122. When a threaded connection is used, the button 121 can be threadedly connected to the key holder 122, and the key pressing ring 123 can be clamped to the key holder 122, or the key pressing ring 123 can be threadedly connected to the key holder 122, and the button 121 can be clamped to the key holder 122. In addition to the above examples, other connection methods can also be used, which are not limited herein as long as they can connect the button 121, the key holder 122 and the key pressing ring 123 together.

[0098] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the key assembly 120 is partially structured to move in the mounting hole 110. Specifically, the key holder 122 and the key pressing ring 123 move in the mounting hole 110, and the button 121 acting as a force pressing component is located outside the mounting hole 110.

[0099] The mounting hole 110 includes a mounting hole body 111 formed in the housing 100. An opening of the mounting hole body 111 in communication with the mounting space is provided with a first clamping groove 113 for clamping the key holder 122.

[0100] Referring to the perspective views of FIGS. 6, 8, 15 and 16, the limiting block 112 cooperates with a limiting groove 1225 described below. After the holder body 1221 moves downward by a certain distance, the top of the limiting groove 1225 will be in contact with the top of the limiting block 112 to limit the downward sliding distance of the holder body 1221, thereby preventing the switch assembly 140 from being damaged by excessive external force. The first clamping groove 113 cooperates with a third clamping block 1224 in the key holder 122 described below. Specifically, after the holder body 1221 moves upward by a certain distance, the upper surface of the third clamping block 1224 will be in contact with the top surface of the first clamping groove 113 to limit the upward movement distance of the holder body 1221. The cooperation of the third clamping block 1224 with the first clamping groove 113 and the cooperation of the limiting groove 1225 with the limiting block 112 enable the key holder 122 to slide within a certain distance.

[0101] The button 121 includes a button body 1211, and the button body 1211 is provided with a second clamping groove 1212 configured to clamp the key holder 122.

[0102] Referring to Fig. 7, when the button body 1211 is installed, the second clamping groove 1212 is more easily clamped into the first clamping block 1222 of the key support 122, so that a certain deformation groove (not marked in the figure) is formed on the outer surface of the button body 1211, so that the area where the second clamping groove 1212 is located can be deformed to a certain extent, so that the second clamping groove 1212 is more easily clamped with the first clamping block 1222.

[0103] In this embodiment, the second clamping groove 1212 is two oppositely arranged on the side wall of the button body 1211, and the corresponding first clamping block 1222 is also two.

[0104] The key support 122 includes a support body 1221, the support body 1221 has a third clamping block 1224 clamped with the mounting hole 110, the support body 1221 has a first clamping block 1222 clamped with the button 121 and a second clamping block 1223 clamped with the key pressing ring 123.

[0105] Referring to Figs. 7 and 8, in order to connect the button body 1211 and the support body 1221, when installing, the second clamping groove 1212 is aligned with the first clamping block 1222 before the button body 1211 is inserted into the inner hole of the support body 1221, then the button body 1211 is inserted into the inner hole of the support body 1221, and then the second clamping groove 1212 and the first clamping block 1222 are clamped, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the button body 1211 and the support body 1221.

[0106] Referring to Figs. 8, 15 and 16, since the upper edge of the support body 1221 is larger than the inner hole of the mounting hole body 111, and the diameter of the third clamping block 1224 is also larger than the inner hole of the mounting hole body 111, in order to facilitate the support body 1221 to smoothly enter the mounting hole body 111, the side wall of the support body 1221 needs to be deformed to a certain extent; accordingly, a certain deformation groove (not marked in the figure) can be formed on the side wall of the support body 1221 to facilitate the deformation of the third clamping block 1224 at the position to be less than the inner hole of the mounting hole body 111, and when the third clamping block 1224 enters the first clamping groove 113 after entering the mounting hole body 111 and deepening to the bottom, the third clamping block 1224 is expanded outward under the elastic force of the side wall of the support body 1221 to realize clamping and limiting, at this time, the limiting block 112 is located in the limiting groove 1225.

[0107] The outer wall of the support body 1221 is provided with a limiting groove 1225 in the axial direction, the mounting hole 110 comprises a mounting hole body 111 provided on the shell 100, and the inner wall of the mounting hole body 111 is provided with a limiting block 112 which cooperates with the limiting groove 1225 to limit the circumferential rotation of the support body 1221.

[0108] As shown in FIGS. 8, 15 and 16, in order to prevent the rotation of the key assembly 120 when it is pressed, the limiting groove 1225 and the limiting block 112 are combined to limit the rotation of the support body 1221 in the rotation direction, thereby limiting the rotation of the key assembly 120 as a whole. However, the combination of the limiting groove 1225 and the limiting block 112 only limits the rotation of the key assembly 120 but does not affect the axial sliding movement of the key assembly 120 in the mounting hole body 111.

[0109] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 1225 and the limiting block 112 are both two and are uniformly distributed.

[0110] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the inner wall of the mounting hole body 111 is further provided with a plurality of ribs, specifically four ribs which are uniformly distributed about the axis of the mounting hole body 111. The purpose is to centrally limit the key support 122 so that the center of the key support 122 is coaxial with the center of the mounting hole body 111.

[0111] The key pressing ring 123 comprises a pressing ring body 1231, the bottom of which is provided with a limiting ring 1232 which gradually increases in diameter towards the installation space, the pressing ring body 1231 is provided with a third clamping groove 1234 which clamps the key support 122, and the inner wall of the pressing ring body 1231 is provided with a pressing block 1233 which protrudes from the end face of the limiting ring 1232.

[0112] As shown in FIGS. 6, 8 to 10, before the pressing ring body 1231 is installed, the support body 1221 has been installed into the mounting hole body 111, that is, the button body 1211 is located inside the mounting hole body 111, and the third clamping block 1224 is clamped and limited by the first clamping groove 113. When the key pressing ring 123 is installed, the pressing ring body 1231 is deeply inserted into the support body 1221 from the bottom, and the third clamping groove 1234 is clamped with the second clamping block 1223, thereby realizing the connection between the pressing ring body 1231 and the support body 1221.

[0113] Referring to the perspective view shown in Fig. 9, in the present embodiment, the limiting ring 1232 is tapered with gradually increasing diameter from top to bottom, specifically, the maximum diameter of the limiting ring 1232 is greater than the diameter of the mounting hole body 111, thus the limiting ring 1232 also has the function of limiting in the axial direction of the mounting hole body 111, at this time, the pressing block 1233 located at the inner wall of the pressing ring body 1231 is located directly above the waterproof part 150, that is, if the pressing ring body 1231 moves downward at this time, the pressing block 1233 will touch the touch point of the switch assembly 140 inside the waterproof part 150, thereby enabling the circuit connected to the switch assembly 140 to be turned on or off; in order to further enable the pressing block 1233 to touch the touch point of the switch assembly 140, the pressing block 1233 can protrude from the end face of the limiting ring 1232.

[0114] The switch assembly 140 includes a circuit board 141 mounted on the mounting bracket 130, and a light touch switch 142 mounted on the mounting bracket 130 below the mounting hole 110, and a lamp body 143 mounted on the circuit board 141.

[0115] Referring to Figs. 11 and 14, the circuit board 141 is connected to the corresponding components, that is, the light touch switch 142 is turned on or off to control the power supply or power supply to the corresponding components, the lamp body 143 of the circuit board 141 provides the backlight light source for the button 121, specifically, the inner hole of the key holder 122 and the key pressing ring 123 after clamping connection is the light path channel 160 for the light source to pass through, that is, the light emitted by the lamp body 143 passes through the waterproof part 150 and the light path channel 160 to enter the position of the button 121 to provide a backlight light source, here it can be understood that the lamp body 143 can be a LED lamp, a light emitting diode light emitting element, the lamp body 143 in the present embodiment includes the above-mentioned light emitting body but is not limited to, other types of light emitting body can be selected according to actual needs.

[0116] The light touch switch 142 has a certain resilience, so as to restore to the original state when pressed without force, the resilience can also be used as the force to restore the initial state of the key assembly 120, the light touch switch 142 is a existing component, and the specific structure is not described in detail here.

[0117] The waterproof part 150 includes a sleeve 151 covering the light touch switch 142 and the lamp body 143, the sleeve 151 is provided with a protrusion 152 which can be pressed to rebound, the sleeve 151 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 153 capable of accommodating the light touch switch 142 and a second accommodating cavity 154 capable of accommodating the lamp body 143, and the first accommodating cavity 153 is located below the protrusion 152.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, when the waterproof member 150 is installed, the second accommodating cavity 154 is aligned with the position of the lamp body 143 and the first accommodating cavity 153 is aligned with the position of the light touch switch 142, and then the lamp body 143 and the light touch switch 142 are covered to be isolated from the external environment. In order to further improve the sealing performance, a certain waterproof silica gel can be injected around the circuit board 141, so that liquid or dust enters the position of the light touch switch 142 and the lamp body 143 through the gap between the circuit board 141 and the sleeve body 151.

[0119] Specifically, in order to enable the light generated by the lamp body 143 to enter the position of the button 121 through the light path channel 160, the sleeve body 151 and the protrusion 152 are made of a material with light transmission and elasticity. In this embodiment, the sleeve body 151 and the protrusion 152 can be made of silica gel or rubber that can transmit light. Of course, in other embodiments, they can also be made of other materials that can transmit light and have elasticity. The specific material is not limited here.

[0120] When the protrusion 152 is pressed by the pressing force from the pressing block 1233, the protrusion 152 deforms and moves towards the light touch switch 142 and releases the pressing, so as to make the circuit connected with the light touch switch 142 conductive or disconnected. When the external force is no longer applied to the protrusion 152, the protrusion 152 and the light touch switch 142 rebound, thereby driving the pressing block 1233 to move, thereby driving the key pressing ring 123 to move, so as to make the key assembly 120 return to the initial position.
