In some embodiments, the display assembly 3 is disposed at an opening end of the first accommodating groove 11, so that the display screen can be exposed outside the housing 1 for a user to view. Correspondingly, the cover body 2 covers the shell 1 and seals the first accommodating groove 11, so that components mounted in the first accommodating groove 11 are covered in the shell 1, and a protection effect is achieved. The cover 2 includes an upper cover 22 and a lower cover 21. The lower cover 21 covers the side of the housing 1 where the display unit 3 is mounted and is fastened to the housing 1. In practical applications, the lower cover 21 may be connected to the housing 1 by a fastener 212, a latch, or the like. The lower cover 21 is provided with a second accommodating groove 211 matched with the first accommodating groove 11, and an opening of the second accommodating groove 211 is opposite to the first accommodating groove 11. When the lower cover 21 is mounted on the housing 1, the second accommodating groove 211 is covered on the first accommodating groove 11, and the top wall of the second accommodating groove 211 is opposite to the screen. Correspondingly, the top wall of the second accommodating groove 211 is made of a semitransparent or fully transparent material, so that the screen can be exposed through the top wall of the second accommodating groove 211 for a user to view.

In some embodiments, the upper cover 22 is provided with a third receiving groove 221 adapted to the lower cover 21. The opening direction of the third receiving groove 221 is the same as the opening direction of the second receiving groove 211.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1-3, the touch keys 4 may be one, two or more, including a sensing pad 43, a bonding pad 41 and a conductive elastic member 42. The sensing piece 43 is disposed on the top wall of the upper cover 22. Preferably, the sensing piece 43 may be formed of a conductive ink layer printed on the top wall of the upper cover 22. The engagement of the sensing piece 43 with the upper cover 22 is thus reliable and inexpensive. The sensing piece 43 may also be formed of conductive cloth adhered to the top wall of the upper cover 22. Correspondingly, the surface of the cover 2 facing away from the housing 1 may be provided with a touch area 223 corresponding to the sensing piece 43. The touch area 223 is disposed with respect to the sensing piece 43, has the same shape as the sensing piece 43, and may have an area smaller than or equal to the area of the sensing piece 43 to improve sensing sensitivity. The touch area 223 may be identified by an indication pattern. For example, touch area 223 may be identified by circles, triangles, and/or arrows, as well as other patterns. When the touch area 223, i.e. the area where the identification pattern is located, is touched by a human hand, the capacitance between the touch point and the sensing piece 43 changes, the capacitance change is conducted to the second end 402 via the conductive elastic member 42, and the second end 402 monitors the capacitance change, so as to realize identification and response to the touch key 4.

Referring to fig. 1, the pad 41 is disposed on the FPC31. One end of the FPC31 is electrically connected with the display screen, and the other end of the FPC is inserted into the main control board. One end of the FPC31 electrically connected to the display screen extends from the display screen and is parallel to the top walls of the second receiving groove 211 and the third receiving groove 221. By arranging the control pad 41 of the touch key 4 on the FPC31, the touch key 4 and the display assembly 3 share the same control board, thereby saving cost and saving the internal space of the device. In practical applications, the shape of the pad 41 is set according to the shape of the conductive elastic member 42, so as to ensure the maximum contact area between the two, thereby ensuring the stability of conductivity. For example, when the conductive elastic member 42 is in a ring shape, the bonding pad 41 is in a ring-like structure, and when the conductive elastic member 42 is in a square shape, the bonding pad 41 may be in a corresponding square structure, which is not illustrated herein.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the conductive elastic member 42 is located between the sensing piece 43 and the bonding pad 41, and has one end elastically abutted against the sensing piece 43 to form the first end 401 and the other end elastically abutted against the bonding pad 41 to form the second end 402. In this embodiment, the conductive elastic member 42 is used as a conductive medium to conduct the sensing piece 43 and the bonding pad 41, and stable electrical connection is formed by using the elasticity of the conductive elastic member 42, without fixing by soldering tin, so that the installation is simpler, the assembly efficiency and quality are improved, and the touch sensitivity is improved. In practical application, the conductive elastic member 42 may be a conductive spring, and the conductive spring is pre-pressed between the upper cover 22 and the FPC31, so that one end of the conductive spring is elastically abutted against the sensing piece 43, and the other end of the conductive spring is elastically abutted against the bonding pad 41, so as to conduct the sensing piece 43 and the bonding pad 41, and conduct the first end 401 and the second end 402 of the touch key 4. In another embodiment, the conductive elastic member 42 may also be conductive silica gel, and uses the elasticity of the silica gel to achieve stable electrical contact, and may also be used to guide light from the indicator lamp 44 disposed on the FPC31 by setting the transparency of the silica gel. Of course, the conductive elastic member 42 may also be a conductive elastic sheet.

In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the position of the conductive elastic member 42, the lower cover 21 is provided with a guide hole 213 adapted to the conductive elastic member 42, and a central axis of the guide hole 213 passes through the centers of the sensing piece 43 and the touch area 223. Thus, when the conductive elastic member 42 is accommodated in the guide hole 213, a maximum sensing area can be ensured, and the sensitivity of the touch key 4 can be improved. The present embodiment restricts the displacement of the conductive elastic member 42 by the guide hole 213, preventing the conductive elastic member 42 from being displaced in a compressed state.

In some embodiments, the touch key 4 further includes an indicator light 44, the indicator light 44 is disposed on the FPC31, and a projection of the indicator light 44 on the upper cover 22 is located in the touch area 223. The projection may be at the center of touch area 223 or may be offset from the center of touch area 223. Preferably, the projection of the indicator light 44 on the upper cover 22 is located at the center of the touch area 223, so that the light emitted from the indicator light 44 can be emitted to the touch area 223 at the shortest distance, so that the best light efficiency is ensured in the touch area 223, and the indicator pattern on the touch area 223 is lightened, thereby being beneficial to indicating the touch area 223. When the user touches the touch area 223 under the direction of the indication pattern, the indication lamp 44 emits light and the touch key 4 is activated.

The foregoing description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model, and all equivalent structural changes made by the description of the present utility model and the accompanying drawings or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the utility model.
