121 and 122, and the key shaft 122 is disposed through a through hole of a middle frame 300 of the terminal device. The key stoppers 200 are engaged with the

recesses

121 and 122 to prevent the keys 100 from falling off the middle frame 300 of the terminal device.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a key position limiter 200 for a terminal device, which includes a U-shaped main body 210, wherein the U-shaped main body 210 includes a middle portion 220 and two substantially

rectangular end portions

230 and 240. Wherein the middle portion 220 is provided with a first protrusion 221; the

ends

230 and 240 are provided with opposite second protrusions 231 and 241, respectively.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the U-shaped body 210 having the opening can facilitate the installation of the key stopper on the key shaft, the second protrusions 231 and 241 oppositely disposed on the

end portions

230 and 240 are used for cooperating with the concave portion of the key shaft to limit the key, and the first protrusion 221 disposed on the middle portion 220 can facilitate the clamping and installation of the key stopper 200 by the installer.

Therefore, the key limiting part for the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can limit the key and facilitate installation of an installer in a limited space by arranging the first convex part and the second convex part on the U-shaped main body part.

It should be noted that, the "U-shape" mentioned in the present disclosure refers to a shape having an opening, and all shapes including an opening are the "U-shape" referred to in the present disclosure, such as a-shape, C-shape, H-shape, M-shape, F-shape, and the like.

In some embodiments, the first protrusion is a bend.

Preferably, the bend is substantially perpendicular to the U-shaped main portion. The term "substantially perpendicular" means that the included angle between the bending portion and the U-shaped main body portion is between 75 degrees and 105 degrees. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the bending part is substantially perpendicular to the U-shaped main body part, so that the clamping and installation of an installer can be facilitated, and the space of the terminal device can be saved.

In some embodiments, the joint between the middle portion and the end portion is arched, so that the key position limiting member has high bending resistance in the process of clamping the key.
