The support post can include a first support post 541 and a second support post 542, the first support post 541 can be arranged between the first key post 510 and the first edge key post 521; the second support post 542 can be arranged between the first key post 510 and the second edge key post 522. The second key contact 220 can be arranged in multiple, and the second key sheet 412 and the second key post 520 can be correspondingly arranged in multiple, so as to realize multiple functions by pressing different positions.
[0086] In one embodiment, the first support column 541 and the second support column 542 are connected, and the support column can be an annular protrusion and can be arranged around the first button column 510. The annular structure formed by the connection of the first support column 541 and the second support column 542 can effectively avoid the linkage / mis-touch of the first button contact 210 when the touch panel 300 is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel 300. The annular structure formed by the connection of the first support column and the second support column can not cause the deformation of the middle part of the touch panel when the touch panel is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel, and can not drive the first button to press the first button contact, thereby effectively avoiding the mis-touch of the first button contact. When the middle part of the touch panel is pressed to drive the first button to move, the deformation of the middle part of the touch panel towards any position on the edge of the touch panel is supported by the support column, thereby effectively avoiding the mis-touch of the second button contact.
[0087] In some embodiments, the second button contact 220 can include a first edge button contact 221, a second edge button contact 222, a third edge button contact 223, and a fourth edge button contact 224. The second sheet 412 can include a first edge sheet 4121, a second edge sheet 4122, a third edge sheet 4123, and a fourth edge sheet 4124. The second button column 520 can include a first edge button column 521, a second edge button column 522, a third edge button column 523, and a fourth edge button column 524. The support column can include a first support column 541, a second support column 542, a third support column 543, and a fourth support column 544. The third support column 543 can be arranged between the first button column 510 and the third edge button column 523, and the fourth support column 544 can be arranged between the first button column 510 and the fourth edge button column 524.
[0088] The second button contact 220 can be arranged in multiple, and the second sheet 412 and the second button column 520 can be correspondingly arranged in multiple, so that multiple functions can be realized by pressing different positions. A support column can be correspondingly arranged between each second button column 520 and the first button column 510, so that the button columns do not link with each other.
[0089] In some embodiments, the first support column 541, the second support column 542, the third support column 543, and the fourth support column 544 can be connected, and the support column can be an annular protrusion and can be arranged around the first button column 510. The annular structure formed by the connection of the first support column 541, the second support column 542, the third support column 543, and the fourth support column 544 can effectively avoid the linkage / mis-touch of the first button contact 210 when the touch panel 300 is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel 300.
[0090] In some embodiments, the first key post 510 can protrude beyond the end of the control board 200. When the first key post 510 abuts against the corresponding pot piece 410, the second key post 520 and the corresponding pot piece 410 can have a spacing therebetween.
[0091] In one specific embodiment, the support post can abut against the control board 200, and the support post can be an elastic body. The end of the first key post 510 away from the touch panel 300 can abut against the top of the first pot piece 411. The end of the second key post 520 away from the touch panel 300 can be a first preset distance away from the top of the first pot piece 411. The distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate and the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate can be the same.
[0092] When the first key post 510 abuts against the first pot piece 411, the second key post 520 and the second pot piece 412 can have a first preset distance therebetween. When the touch panel 300 is pressed to trigger the first key contact 210 via the first key post 510, the second key post 520 can be effectively prevented from triggering the second key contact 220, thereby effectively preventing the second key contact 220 from being mistakenly triggered. The elastic body of the support post has an elastic structure to provide a buffering effect when the touch panel 300 is pressed. The elastic structure of the support post provides a buffer for the pressing of the first key post 510.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first preset distance between the second key post 520 and the second pot piece 412 can be 0.3 mm.
[0094] In some embodiments, the first preset distance between the second key post 520 and the second pot piece 412 can be greater than or less than 0.3 mm. For example, the first preset distance between the second key post 520 and the second pot piece 412 can be 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, or other different distances. It should be noted that the above 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm are only examples, and in actual applications, the distance can be set based on actual needs and processes, such as 0.25 mm, 0.24 mm, 0.33 mm, etc.
[0095] The distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate and the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate can be the same. The error can be controlled within 0.1 mm.
[0096] In some embodiments, the support post can abut against the control board 200, and the support post can be an elastic body. The end of the first key post 510 away from the touch panel 300 can abut against the top of the first pot piece 411. The end of the second key post 520 away from the touch panel 300 can abut against the top of the second pot piece 412. The distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate can be less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece 412 and the substrate.
[0097] The distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate is less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece 412 and the substrate. When pressing to trigger the first button contact 210, the second pot piece 412 will not press on the second button contact 220, and will not cause the linkage of the second button contact 220.
[0098] In one embodiment, the support column abuts on the control plate 200, and the support column is an elastic body; the end of the first button column 510 away from the touch panel 300 abuts on the top of the first pot piece 411; the end of the second button column 520 away from the touch panel 300 abuts on the top of the second pot piece 412; the distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate is less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece 412 and the substrate.
[0099] The distance between the top of the first pot piece 411 and the substrate is less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece 412 and the substrate, and the second button column 520 has a greater touch stroke on the control plate 200 than the first button column 510. When pressing to trigger the first button contact 210, the second pot piece 412 will not press on the second button contact 220, and will not cause the linkage / mis-touch of the second button contact 220.
[0100] In some embodiments, the support column can be a rigid body; the distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel 300 and the substrate can be greater than the touch stroke of the first button column 510 triggering the first button contact 210. The rigid body of the support column will not deform when pressing. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel 300 and the substrate is greater than the touch stroke of the first button column 510 triggering the first button contact 210, so that the arrangement of the support column will not affect the function of the first button column 510 pressing to trigger the first button contact 210.
[0101] The rigid body of the support column, the distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel 300 and the substrate can be less than the touch stroke of the second button column 520 triggering the second button contact 220, so that in the process of pressing the second button to trigger the corresponding second button contact 220, the support column first abuts on the control plate 200 to be able to lift the touch panel 300, thereby driving the first button column 510 away from the control plate 200.
[0102] The side of the support column facing the control plate 200 can be an inclined surface 545, and the distance between the position of the inclined surface 545 close to the first button column 510 and the substrate can be less than the distance between the position of the inclined surface 545 away from the first button column 510 and the substrate.
[0103] The support column 540 abuts against the control plate 200, and the side of the support column 540 facing the control plate 200 is an inclined surface 545, which is inclined away from the control plate 200 in the direction facing the second key column 520. When the second key column 520 is pressed, the rotation of the support column 540 effectively ensures that the inclined surface 545 is supported against the control plate 200 or the elastic sheet 400, maintaining the reliability and stability of the support of the support column 540.
[0104] In some embodiments, the support column and the key column can be integrated to effectively ensure that the first key column 510 and the support column 540 can move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the rotation of the support column 540 can drive the first key column 510 to move when the second key column 520 is pressed, effectively avoiding the linkage of the first key column 510 and the second key column 520.
[0105] In some embodiments, the side of the silica gel pad facing the touch panel 300 can be provided with a fixing groove 530. The end of the first key column 510 and the second key column 520 away from the control plate 200 can be provided with a fixing groove 530.
[0106] Referring again to FIGS. 1-16, the touch panel 300 is configured to emit signals in response to touch. The touch panel 300 allows users to interact with a device through touch, gesture, or pen input, to output corresponding instructions or signals. The touch panel 300 can be used to detect and respond to user touch operations.
[0107] In one embodiment, the touch panel 300 can be a resistive touch panel 300, which can be composed of two layers of flexible transparent conductive film with a small gap between them, forming a uniform electric field. When a user touches the screen, the finger will press between the two layers of conductive film, changing the electric field distribution, so that the touch position can be determined by measuring the current or voltage.
[0108] In another embodiment, the touch panel 300 can be a capacitive touch panel 300, which can be composed of a layer of glass or plastic substrate covered with a layer of conductive material. When a user touches the screen, since the human body is conductive, the touch position will change the electric field distribution on the screen, and the touch position can be determined by detecting the change in the electric field.
[0109] In some embodiments, the touch panel 300 can be a surface acoustic wave touch panel 300, which can be composed of a transmitter and a receiver, which are located on both sides of the screen, and detect touch through surface-propagating ultrasonic waves. When a user touches the screen, the propagation of ultrasonic waves will be disturbed, and the receiver can detect the disturbance and determine the touch position.
[0110] The touch panel 300 can be arranged in the mounting hole 120; the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 can be provided with a plurality of key posts; each key post can be opposite to a key contact.
[0111] In some embodiments, a silica gel pad 500 can be arranged between the touch panel 300 and the control panel 200, and the key posts can be arranged on the silica gel pad 500. In an embodiment, no silica gel pad 500 is arranged between the touch panel 300 and the control panel 200, and the key posts can be directly arranged on the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200.
[0112] The front side of the shell 100 is provided with a mounting hole 120 penetrating into the accommodating cavity 110, and the touch panel 300 is configured to emit signals in response to touch. The touch panel 300 is arranged in the mounting hole 120, so that the touch panel 300 can be touched at the mounting hole 120 of the shell 100 to realize the touch function.
[0113] The control panel 200 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 of the shell 100, and the side of the control panel 200 facing the front side 120 of the shell can be provided with a plurality of key contacts; the plurality of key contacts can be arranged at intervals on the side of the control panel 200 facing the front side 120 of the shell.
[0114] The side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 can be provided with a plurality of key posts, and each key post can be opposite to a key contact. The touch panel 300 can be pressed in response to pressing at different positions on the front side, so that the touch panel 300 and the key posts at the pressing position can be pressed towards the control panel 200, and the key posts can be pressed on the key contacts at the corresponding positions, so that the remote controller has the function of mechanical keys. Arranging the key function and the touch panel 300 together facilitates the user to operate the keys and the touch panel 300 at the same position, and improves the convenience of use.
[0115] The side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 can be provided with a support post 540. In some embodiments, the support post 540 is formed on the silica gel pad 500. In some embodiments, when no silica gel pad 500 is arranged between the touch panel 300 and the control panel 200, the key posts and the support post 540 can be directly formed on the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200.
[0116] In one embodiment, one end of the support column towards the touch panel 300 can be adhered to the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 through the buffer layer; one end of the first button column 510 towards the touch panel 300 can be adhered to the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 through the buffer layer; one end of the second button column 520 towards the touch panel 300 can be adhered to the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 through the buffer layer.

[0117] FIG. 17 is a structural schematic diagram between buttons according to some embodiments of the present application. FIG. 18 is a fitting schematic diagram of the button support on the touch panel according to some embodiments of the present application.
[0118] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 18, the button support 600 can be arranged between the silica gel pad 500 and the touch panel 300. One side of the button support 600 can be pasted on the touch panel 300, and the other side can be pasted on the silica gel pad 500. The touch panel 300 is pressed, so that the button support 600 drives the button column or the support column 540 on the silica gel pad 500 to move.
[0119] The button support 600 can be in a sheet or plate structure. The button support 600 can be fixed on the side of the touch panel 300 facing the control panel 200 through the pasting manner.
[0120] In some embodiments, the side of the button support 600 facing the silica gel pad 500 can be formed with protruding fixing protrusions 610 for cooperating with the fixing grooves 530 on the silica gel pad 500 to position the button support 600 and the silica gel pad 500. The side of the button support 600 facing the silica gel pad 500 can be formed with protruding fixing protrusions 610 which can be inserted into and clamped in the fixing grooves 530.
[0121] In one embodiment, the circumferential edge of the button support 600 can be further formed with protruding foolproof protrusions 620. The side of the foolproof protrusions facing away from the control panel can be overlapped on the shell to limit the touch panel from being pulled out from the front of the shell.
[0122] The foolproof protrusions can be inserted into and limited in the limiting grooves 150. The foolproof protrusions 620 can be used to cooperate with the limiting grooves 150 on the shell 100 to position the button support 600 and the touch panel 300. The cooperation between the limiting grooves and the foolproof protrusions can effectively ensure the position of the touch panel and ensure the position of the touch panel relative to the button column and the button contact.
[0123] In some embodiments, the foolproof protrusions can be arranged at multiple positions around the center of the touch panel, and the limiting grooves can be arranged at multiple positions around the center of the mounting hole. The positions of the foolproof protrusions and the limiting grooves can correspond to each other one by one.
[0124] The touch panel 300 can be connected to the control panel 200 through a flexible cable. The silicone pad 500, the elastic sheet 400, and the control panel 200 can be provided with through holes corresponding to each other, and the flexible cable of the touch panel 300 passes through the through holes.
[0125] In the present application, the second key post 520 can be arranged towards the edge of the touch panel 300. The touch panel can be provided with relevant functions in normal operation. If it is necessary to use, for example, the volume + / -, the mechanical key function can be realized by pressing the edge of the touch panel, thereby bringing double experience to the user and improving the user experience.
[0126] It should be noted that the principle of realizing the touch panel and the mechanical pressing operation is as follows:
[0127] Through the software control program, when the touch operation of the touch panel 300 is performed, the operation icon will be displayed on the touch panel 300, and the software only recognizes the touch of the touch panel 300. If the mechanical key is pressed by mistake, the mechanical key will not trigger the function.
[0128] Through the software control program, if it is necessary to operate the mechanical key (such as the up and down volume keys or the middle OK key), the up, down, left, right, and middle OK key icons will be displayed on the touch panel 300. By pressing the corresponding icon, the mechanical key function can be realized.
[0129] According to some embodiments of the present application, a remote controller can include a housing, a control board, a touch component, and a support column. The housing can have an accommodation cavity formed therein. The housing can have a mounting hole formed on a front surface thereof and extending to the accommodation cavity. The control board can be disposed in the accommodation cavity. The control board can include a substrate, a first key contact, and a second key contact. The first key contact can be disposed on a side of the substrate facing the front surface of the housing. The second key contact can be disposed on a side of the substrate facing the front surface of the housing. The touch component can be disposed in the mounting hole. The touch component can include a touch panel, a first key column, and a second key column. The touch panel can be configured to generate a signal in response to a touch. The touch panel can have a rigid structure. The first key column can be disposed on a side of the touch panel facing the control board. The first key column can be configured to press and trigger the first key contact. The second key column can be disposed on a side of the touch panel facing the control board. The second key column can be configured to press and trigger the second key contact. A triggering stroke of the second key column to trigger the second key contact can be greater than a triggering stroke of the first key column to trigger the first key contact. As a result, when the first key contact is triggered, the second key contact is not triggered. The support column can be disposed between the touch panel and the control board. The support column can be disposed between the first key column and the second key column. The support column can be configured to support the control board when a position corresponding to the second key column on the touch panel is pressed. As a result, an end of the touch panel away from the second key column is raised. As a result, when the second key contact is triggered, the first key column on the touch panel does not trigger the first key contact.
[0130] The shell has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the front surface of the shell is provided with a mounting hole penetrating into the accommodating cavity, the touch panel is configured to emit a signal in response to a touch, and the touch panel is arranged in the mounting hole so as to be touched at the mounting hole of the shell to realize the touch function. The control board is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the shell, and the first key column and the second key column are arranged on the side of the touch panel facing the control board. The touch panel can be pressed at different positions on the front surface, so as to drive the first key column or the second key column to press the control board, and drive the first key column and the second key column to press on the corresponding first key contact or second key contact, so that the remote controller has the function of a mechanical key. The key function and the touch panel are arranged together, which facilitates the user to operate the key and the touch panel at the same position, and improves the convenience of use. The stroke of the second key column triggering the second key contact is greater than the stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact, so that the linkage of the second key contact can be effectively avoided when the first key contact is pressed. The support column is configured to support the control board when the corresponding second key column position on the touch panel is pressed, so that the end of the touch panel away from the second key column is raised, and the first key column on the touch panel does not trigger the first key contact, thereby avoiding the linkage of the first key contact. The first key contact and the second key contact do not link with each other. The rigid structure of the touch panel enables the whole touch panel to move, thereby ensuring that the whole touch panel can be raised when the touch panel is pressed.

[0138] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the second key contact is arranged in multiple, and the second key sheet and the second key post are correspondingly arranged in multiple, so that multiple functions can be realized by pressing different positions. The support post is correspondingly arranged between each second key post and the first key post, so that the key posts do not interact with each other.
[0139] In some embodiments of the present application, the first support post, the second support post, the third support post and the fourth support post can be connected, the support post can be an annular protrusion and can surround the first key post.
[0140] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the annular structure formed by the connection of the first support post, the second support post, the third support post and the fourth support post can effectively avoid the linkage of the first key contact when the touch panel is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, the support post can abut against the control plate, the support post can be an elastic body; the end of the first key post away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the first key sheet; the distance between the end of the second key post away from the touch panel and the top of the first key sheet can be a first preset distance; the distance between the top of the first key sheet and the substrate and the distance between the top of the second key sheet and the substrate can be the same.
[0142] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first key column abuts against the first pot piece, and the second key column and the second pot piece have a first preset distance. When the first key column is pressed to trigger the first key contact, the second key column can effectively avoid triggering the second key contact, thereby effectively avoiding causing the second key contact to be mistakenly triggered. The elastic body of the support column has an elastic structure to play a buffering role when the touch panel is pressed.
[0143] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can abut against the control plate, and the support column can be an elastic body. An end of the first key column away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the first pot piece. An end of the second key column away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the second pot piece. The distance between the top of the first pot piece and the substrate can be less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate.
[0144] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the distance between the top of the first pot piece and the substrate is less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate. When the first key contact is triggered by pressing, the second pot piece will not press on the second key contact, and the second key contact will not be linked.
[0145] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can be a rigid body. The distance between an end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate can be greater than the touch stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate can be less than the touch stroke of the second key column triggering the second key contact.
[0146] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the rigid body of the support column will not deform when pressed. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate is greater than the touch stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact, so that the arrangement of the support column will not affect the function of the first key column being pressed to trigger the first key contact. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate is less than the touch stroke of the second key column triggering the second key contact. When the second key column moves towards the control plate to trigger the second key contact, the support column moves close to the control plate, and the abutment of the second key column on the control plate precedes the triggering of the second key contact, so that in the process of continuing to press to make the second key column move towards the control plate, the first key column is lifted to avoid causing the second key column to be linked.
[0147] In some embodiments of the present application, one side of the support column towards the control plate can be an inclined surface. The distance between the position of the inclined surface close to the first key column and the substrate can be less than the distance between the position of the inclined surface away from the first key column and the substrate.
[0148] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: when the second key column is pressed, the rotation of the support column effectively ensures that the inclined surface is supported and attached to the control panel, thereby maintaining the reliability and stability of the support column.
[0149] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch control assembly can further include a silica gel pad; the support column, the first key column and the second key column are all formed on the silica gel pad to form an integral whole.
[0150] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the support column, the first key column and the second key column are all formed on the silica gel pad.

The support column is configured such that the second key contact is not triggered when the first key contact is triggered, and the first key column on the touch panel does not trigger the first key contact when the second key contact is triggered, thereby effectively avoiding accidental pressing of the first key contact and the second key contact.
[0221] In some embodiments of the present application, the first key contact can be located in a central region of the projection area. The second key contact can be located outside the central region. The second key column can have a larger stroke for triggering the second key contact than the first key column has for triggering the first key contact.
[0222] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first key contact is located in the central region of the projection region, so that the corresponding first key column corresponds to the central region, so that the middle part of the first key column corresponds to the mounting hole, so as to facilitate the identification and operation of the first key column and the first key contact, and the first key column is operated quickly. If the entire touch panel is moved or the position of the touch panel corresponding to the second key column is moved when the first key column is touched, the second key column triggers the touch stroke of the second key contact, which is greater than the touch stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact. The second key column can effectively avoid pressing the second key contact, thereby effectively avoiding triggering the second key contact, and effectively avoiding sending a misaligned signal by the remote control.
[0223] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can be an annular protrusion and can surround the outer periphery of the first key column.
[0224] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the annular support column is arranged around the first key column. When the touch panel is pressed at any edge of the touch panel, the first key contact can be effectively avoided from being mistakenly touched.
[0225] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the support column and the first key column can be less than the distance between the support column and the second key column.
[0226] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the second key column is farther away from the support column than the first key column, so that the support column is closer to the central region, and the support column is closer to the middle part of the touch panel. When it is pressed near the middle part of the touch panel, the first key contact can be triggered. The support column is closer to the middle part of the touch panel, and when the touch panel is mistakenly touched and slightly deformed, the slight deformation of the touch panel will be supported by the support column, thereby reducing the probability of mistakenly triggering the remote control.
[0227] In some embodiments of the present application, the control board can further include a first flake and a second flake. The first flake can be arranged above the first key contact to trigger the first key contact when pressed. The first key column can be arranged between the touch panel and the first flake. The second flake can be arranged above the second key contact to trigger the second key contact when pressed. The second key column can be arranged between the touch panel and the second flake.
[0228] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first key column drives the first pot piece to press the first key contact, thereby triggering the first key contact. The second key column drives the second pot piece to press the second key contact, thereby triggering the first key contact. The first pot piece and the second pot piece have elasticity for resetting the first key column and the second key column.
[0229] In some embodiments of the present application, the second key contact can include: a first edge key contact and a second edge key contact, which are symmetrically arranged with the first key contact as the center; the second pot piece can include: a first edge pot piece, which can be arranged above the first edge key contact; a second edge pot piece, which can be arranged above the second edge key contact; the second key column can include: a first edge key column, which is arranged between the touch panel and the first edge pot piece; a second edge key column, which is arranged between the touch panel and the second edge pot piece; the support column can include: a first support column, which can be arranged between the first key column and the first edge key column; a second support column, which can be arranged between the first key column and the second edge key column.
[0230] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the second key contact is arranged in two, and the second pot piece and the second key column are correspondingly arranged in two, so that multiple functions can be realized by pressing different positions. A support column is correspondingly arranged between each second key column and the first key column, which effectively avoids the first key column from pressing the first key contact when the second key column is pressed, thereby avoiding accidental triggering of the first key contact. Similarly, when the first key contact is triggered, the corresponding support column supports, which does not trigger the corresponding second key contact, thereby effectively avoiding accidental triggering of the key contacts.
[0231] In some embodiments of the present application, the first support column and the second support column are connected, and the support column can be an annular protrusion and can be arranged around the first key column.
[0232] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the annular structure formed by connecting the first support column and the second support column does not cause deformation of the middle part of the touch panel when the touch panel is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel, and does not drive the first key to press the first key contact, thereby effectively avoiding accidental triggering of the first key contact. When the middle part of the touch panel is pressed to move the first key, the deformation of the middle part of the touch panel towards any position on the edge of the touch panel is supported by the support column, thereby effectively avoiding accidental triggering of the second key contact.
[0233] In some embodiments of the present application, the second key contact can further include a third edge key contact and a fourth edge key contact, the third edge key contact and the fourth edge key contact can be symmetrically arranged with the first key contact as the center, the distance between the first edge contact and the third edge contact and the distance between the first edge contact and the fourth edge contact can be the same; the second pot piece can further include a third edge pot piece arranged above the third edge key contact and a fourth edge pot piece arranged above the fourth edge key contact; the second key column can include a third edge key column arranged between the touch panel and the third edge pot piece and a fourth edge key column arranged between the touch panel and the fourth edge pot piece; the support column can include a third support column arranged between the first key column and the third edge key column and a fourth support column arranged between the first key column and the fourth edge key column.
[0234] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the second key contact is provided with two, and the second pot piece and the second key column are correspondingly provided with two, so that different functions can be realized by pressing different positions. The support column is correspondingly arranged between each second key column and the first key column, so that the key columns do not interact with each other, effectively avoiding false touch of the touch panel.
[0235] In some embodiments of the present application, the first support column, the second support column, the third support column and the fourth support column can be connected, the support column can be an annular protrusion and can surround the first key column.
[0236] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the annular structure formed by the connection of the first support column, the second support column, the third support column and the fourth support column can effectively avoid false touch of the first key contact when the touch panel is pressed at any position on the side edge of the touch panel.
[0237] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can abut against the control panel, the support column can be an elastic body; the end of the first key column away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the first pot piece; the distance between the end of the second key column away from the touch panel and the top of the first pot piece can be a first preset distance; the distance between the top of the first pot piece and the substrate and the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate can be the same.
[0238] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first key column abuts against the first pot piece, and the second key column and the second pot piece have a first preset distance. When the first key column is triggered by pressing the touch panel, the second key column can effectively avoid triggering the second key contact, thereby effectively avoiding the misoperation of the second key contact. The elastic body of the support column has an elastic structure to play a buffering role when the touch panel is pressed.
[0239] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can abut against the control panel, and the support column can be an elastic body. An end of the first key column away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the first pot piece. An end of the second key column away from the touch panel can abut against the top of the second pot piece. The distance between the top of the first pot piece and the substrate can be less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate.
[0240] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the distance between the top of the first pot piece and the substrate is less than the distance between the top of the second pot piece and the substrate. When the first key contact is triggered by pressing, the second pot piece will not press on the second key contact, thereby avoiding the misoperation of the second key contact.
[0241] In some embodiments of the present application, the support column can be a rigid body. The distance between an end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate can be greater than the touch stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate can be less than the touch stroke of the second key column triggering the second key contact.
[0242] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the rigid body of the support column will not deform when pressed. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate is greater than the touch stroke of the first key column triggering the first key contact, so that the arrangement of the support column will not affect the function of the first key column triggering the first key contact. The distance between the end of the support column away from the touch panel and the substrate is less than the touch stroke of the second key column triggering the second key contact. When the second key column moves towards the control panel to trigger the second key contact, the support column moves close to the control panel, and the abutment of the second key column on the control panel precedes the triggering of the second key contact. Therefore, in the process of continuing to press to make the second key column move towards the control panel, the first key column is lifted, avoiding the linkage of the second key column and the misoperation of the second key contact.
[0243] In some embodiments of the present application, the side of the support column facing the control panel can be an inclined surface, and the distance between the position of the inclined surface close to the first key column and the base plate can be less than the distance between the position of the inclined surface away from the first key column and the base plate.
[0244] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: when the second key column is pressed, the rotation of the support column effectively ensures that the inclined surface is supported and attached to the control panel, thereby maintaining the reliability and stability of the support column.
[0245] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch control assembly can further include a silica gel pad, and the support column, the first key column and the second key column can be formed on the silica gel pad to form an integral whole.
[0246] The above scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the support column, the first key column and the second key column are all formed on the silica gel pad.
