By providing the two protruding portions 121, the engaging effect between the elastic buckle 12 and the engaging portion 21 is better, and the limiting effect on the side key 1 is better.

Of course, the elastic buckle 12 may have one convex portion 121, or two or more convex portions 121.

Further, the snap projection 121 may be projected toward the Y direction as long as effective engagement can be achieved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view illustrating a side key and a housing mounted together when an engaging portion of a side key mounting structure of a terminal includes a receiving groove according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, in a possible implementation manner of the present embodiment, the engaging portion 21 specifically includes: the accommodating groove 211, wherein at least a portion of the elastic buckle 12 is located in the accommodating groove 211 and is engaged with a groove wall of the accommodating groove 211.

Specifically, can set up storage tank 211 in the installation region of the lateral part of casing 2, the notch of storage tank 211 is towards elasticity buckle 12, when the installation, directly make elasticity buckle 12 get into storage tank 211 from the notch of storage tank 211, make at least part of elasticity buckle 12 stretch into in storage tank 211, the bore that specifically can make storage tank 211's notch is less than the size of elasticity buckle 12 in the notch direction, because elasticity buckle 12 self has certain elasticity, exert certain effort to side key 1, make in at least part embedding storage tank 211 of elasticity buckle 12, cooperate between the cell wall with storage tank 211, make elasticity buckle 12 blocked and establish in storage tank 211, thereby realize spacing to side key 1.

It can be understood that, when the aperture of the first through hole 212 is smaller than the size of the locking protrusion 121 in the aperture direction of the first through hole 212, when the elastic buckle 12 passes through the first through hole 212, the locking protrusion 121 is compressed by the hole wall of the first through hole 212, and after the locking protrusion 121 passes through the first through hole 212, the locking protrusion 121 recovers its deformation under the action of its own elasticity, so as to be locked on the end surface of the first through hole 212 facing the inner cavity of the housing 2.

Wherein, can directly set up the position of the corresponding side key touch post 13 of the installation region of casing 2 into hollow structure to supply side key touch post 13 to pass from this hollow structure's hollow region, in order to penetrate casing 2 inner chamber, and then can trigger the side key trigger switch on the mainboard in casing 2 when operation side key 1.

Of course, the position of the mounting area of the housing 2 corresponding to the side key touch post 13 may be provided with a second through hole 22 for the side key touch post 13 to pass through.

The shape of the second through hole 22 can be matched with the outer contour shape of the side key stud 13, so that the side key stud 13 can be stably supported while the side key stud 13 smoothly moves, and the stability of the whole side key 1 is further improved.

For example, when the side key stud 13 has a circular cross section, the second through hole 22 may be provided as a circular hole. Of course, the cross section of the side key touch column 13 may also be square, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment as long as the triggering function thereof can be realized.

In order to further improve the sealing performance between the side key touch post 13 and the second through hole 22, and avoid the main board and other devices in the inner cavity of the housing 2 from being damaged or broken due to water or dust when water, dust and the like enter the inner cavity of the housing 2 from the space between the side key touch post 13 and the second through hole 22, and meanwhile, in order to ensure the smooth and stable movement of the side key touch post 13, in this embodiment, an elastic sealing ring 131 may be further sleeved on the side key touch post 13.

The elastic sealing ring 131 may be in interference fit with the hole wall of the second through hole 22. That is, realize the sealed effect between side key touch post 13 and the second through-hole 22 through elastic sealing ring 131, and can not influence the normal removal of side key touch post 13, can also improve the stability of side key touch post 13 simultaneously for the user feels the degree better when operation side key 1, has improved user experience and has felt.
