The waterproof transmission cover is connected with the key body. The waterproof transmission cover comprises a force application part and a flange part surrounding the force application part. The housing has a housing body and a U-shaped annular seat, wherein the flange portion is engaged in the U-shaped annular seat of the housing.
The waterproof button further comprises waterproof glue for connecting the flange part and the U-shaped annular bearing seat of the shell. When the key body is pressed, the flange part presses the waterproof glue, so that the waterproof glue is more tightly attached to the U-shaped annular bearing seat of the shell.
In one embodiment, the waterproof transmission cover further includes an extension portion located between the force application portion and the flange portion.
In one embodiment, the waterproof drive housing is formed from a rubber material.
In one embodiment, the waterproof button further includes a circuit board and a switch disposed on the circuit board.
In one embodiment, the switch is an actuation switch.
In one embodiment, the switch is a microswitch.
In an embodiment, the housing is a tablet computer housing or a mobile phone housing.
In summary, the waterproof button of the present invention can further increase the waterproof capability of the waterproof button and improve the waterproof performance of the electronic product by using the design of the flange portion, the waterproof glue and the U-shaped annular bearing seat when the user presses the button body.
Drawings
In order to make the aforementioned and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described as follows:
fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a waterproof key according to an embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided for purposes of illustration, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims, as the term "means" comprising "or" including "any arrangement of elements, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In addition, the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not drawn to scale. For ease of understanding, the same or similar elements will be described with the same reference numerals in the following description.
Also, the terms (terms) used throughout the specification and claims have the ordinary meaning as is accorded to each term used in this field, in the context of this disclosure, and in any specific context, unless otherwise indicated. Certain terms used to describe the invention are discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art in describing the invention.
In the embodiments and claims, the articles "a" and "an" may refer broadly to one or more than one, unless the context specifically states otherwise. The numbers used in the steps are only used for indicating the steps for convenience of description, and are not used for limiting the sequence and the implementation manner.
Furthermore, as used herein, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," and the like are open-ended terms that mean including, but not limited to.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a waterproof button according to an embodiment of the invention is disclosed. As shown in the drawings, the present invention discloses a waterproof button 100, which includes a button body 110, a waterproof transmission cover 120 and a housing 130.
The waterproof transmission cover 120 is connected to the key body 110 to receive the pressure from the key body 110 and deform to trigger the switch 150 on the circuit board 160 below to generate the change of voltage or current.
The waterproof transmission cover 120 includes an urging portion 122, an extending portion 124, and a flange portion 126. The extension portion 124 is located between the force application portion 122 and the flange portion 126 to further provide the necessary deformation of the waterproof gear cover 120 so that the force application portion 122 can press the switch 150 below. The flange portion 126 surrounds the force application portion 122 and the extension portion 124, and may be a circular, square, oblong, polygonal, or irregular flange, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
The housing 130, for example a housing of a tablet computer or a housing of a mobile phone, has a housing body 132 and a U-shaped annular seat 134, wherein the flange portion 126 of the waterproof transmission cover 120 is engaged in the U-shaped annular seat 134 of the housing 130.
In one embodiment, the waterproof button 100 also utilizes a waterproof glue 140 to engage the flange portion 126 of the waterproof drive cap 120 with the U-shaped annular seat 134 of the housing 130. When the user presses the key body 110, the flange 126 presses the waterproof glue 140 at the same time, so that the waterproof glue 140 is tightly adhered to the U-shaped annular seat 134 of the housing 130. That is, the flange portion 126, the waterproof glue 140 and the U-shaped annular seat 134 are disposed in the same direction as the key application direction 200, so that when the user presses the key body 110, the flange portion 126, the waterproof glue 140 and the U-shaped annular seat 134 are pressed together more tightly, thereby effectively preventing moisture from entering the inside of the housing 130 through the gap between the flange portion 126 and the U-shaped annular seat 134.
Therefore, the waterproof button 100 disclosed in the present invention not only has the flange portion 126 and the U-shaped annular seat 134 to prevent moisture from entering the inside of the housing 130 of the electronic product and prevent the electronic product from being affected with moisture, but also utilizes the design of the flange portion 126 and the U-shaped annular seat 134 to dispose the waterproof glue 140 in the U-shaped annular seat 134, and the U-shaped annular seat 134 accommodates the flange portion 126 and supports the flange portion 126. Therefore, when the user presses the key body 110, the flange portion 126 also applies a force to the waterproof glue 140 and the U-shaped annular seat 134, so that the flange portion 126, the waterproof glue 140 and the U-shaped annular seat 134 are pressed together more tightly, and further, moisture is prevented from entering the inside of the housing 130 through the gap between the flange portion 126 and the U-shaped annular seat 134.
In one embodiment, the waterproof drive housing 120 is formed from a rubber material.
In one embodiment, switch 150 comprises an actuation switch.
In one embodiment, switch 150 comprises a microswitch.
Therefore, the waterproof key of the invention can further increase the waterproof capability of the waterproof key and effectively improve the waterproof performance of the electronic product by utilizing the design of the flange part, the waterproof glue and the U-shaped annular bearing seat when a user presses the key body.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
