When the external force presses the display bracket 51 downwards towards the direction close to the circuit board 3, the fourth surface of the display bracket 51 compresses the elastic component 6, the elastic component 6 deforms, and when the fourth surface presses the touch switch 4 and starts or closes the timer, the elastic component 6 generates a second deformation distance; meanwhile, the second limiting protrusion 515 moves a second deformation distance in the second reserved space of the second limiting groove 222, and the second body 517 of the display bracket 51 moves the second deformation distance in the accommodating space formed on the side of the housing 1 away from the circuit board 3.

It should be noted that the third surface of the second protrusion 518 may further have a fourth limiting groove 516 as described above in the present disclosure, and is matched with the fourth limiting protrusion 223, and the specific working process refers to the above, which is not described herein again.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8 or 9, the second protrusion 518 may include a first acting portion 5181 acting on the elastic member 6 and a second acting portion 5182 acting on the touch switch 4. Of these, two second acting portions 5182 are provided. One second acting portion 5182 acts on the first switch 41, the other second acting portion 5182 acts on the second switch 42, and the first acting portion 5181 is located between the two second acting portions 5182.

Here, the second projection 518 includes a ring structure surrounding the first acting portion 5181, a portion of the ring structure acting on the first switch 41 is one second acting portion 5182, and a portion of the ring structure acting on the second switch 42 is the other second acting portion 5182. As can be seen, the two second reaction portions 5182 can be two portions of an annular structure.

Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the second protrusion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, which are disposed at an interval, a portion of the first protrusion acting on the first switch 41 is a second acting portion 5182, and a portion of the second protrusion acting on the second switch 42 is another second acting portion 5182. It can be seen that the two second acting portions 5182 can also be part of two independent first and second bosses, respectively.

The display bracket is matched with the encoder and the touch switch to work through the arrangement of the second body part and the second protruding part of the display bracket; make the structural reasonable in design of display module assembly, fashion novelty in the outward appearance, the sense of touch that the user used is superior, and convenient simple in the operation can effectively realize the timing work.

In some embodiments, the second encoding component is snap-fit to the housing; alternatively, referring to fig. 10, the second encoding component 22 is formed with a first limiting portion 224, and the housing 1 is formed with a second limiting portion 111 which is in interference fit with the first limiting portion 224; the second coding assembly 22 is connected to the housing 1 through the first limiting portion 224 and the second limiting portion 111 which are in interference fit.
