The 5th technical scheme of the present invention has proposed such technical characterictic, and promptly the bend of described contact chip is configured to contact the inner bottom surface of described recess.
The 6th technical scheme of the present invention has proposed such technical characterictic, and promptly the bend of described contact chip is configured to break away from the inner bottom surface of described recess.
As mentioned above, because push-button switch of the present invention is so to form, promptly in the accommodation section inner bottom surface central authorities that are arranged on the housing, formed the recess that exposes fixed contact, the contact chip of armature contact is the bending downwards by bend in recess, so the height of rubber spring does not increase, because the stroke of rubber spring activation projection can only increase at recess, thus the not increase of the overall dimension of push-button switch, thus can provide operational stroke long push-button switch structure.
Because described armature contact is to be made of the seat portion that takes shape in the outside, the connecting portion that extends from seat portion, the described contact chip that is arranged on swingably in the described seat portion by connecting portion, so obtained to stablize the armature contact of contact by simple shape.
Because when constituting described armature contact by the rubber-like sheet metal, central authorities in described seat portion have offered the circular arc punching, on the central portion of punching, formed described contact chip, so, owing to can reduce contact resistance, so not necessarily will make fixed contact, thereby can correspondingly reduce cost with precious metals such as gold.
Because described rubber spring is arranged in the described seat portion and described activation projection is pushed described contact chip by the described punching that is arranged on central authorities of described seat portion, so can prolong the stroke of the activation projection of rubber spring by simple structure.
When the bend of described contact chip was configured to contact on the inner bottom surface of described recess, the stress of contact chip was normally certain, so obtained stable contact.
When the bend of described contact chip is configured to break away from the inner bottom surface of described recess, for example when crooked bend, even deviation has appearred in size, because the inner bottom surface of bend contact housing recess is provided with more than the face so can prevent to float on the armature contact housing.
