The button body is disposed under the button housing, and has a contact portion, and has a hole in the hole corresponding to the hole, and is fixed in the hole of the button hole, wherein one end of the trigger member protrudes In the embodiment of the present invention, the button housing and the trigger member 7 1309051 TW95063GC 22064twf.doc/t form an upwardly convex curved surface. In an embodiment of the invention, the button housing is made of a plastic material, wherein the plastic material comprises rubber or polycarbonate (pc). In an embodiment of the invention, the button body is made of rubber. In an embodiment of the invention, the touch I member is a rubber column. In an embodiment of the invention, the contact portion is disposed around the accommodating hole and extends toward the circuit board, wherein the trigger member is located in the contact portion. The invention adopts an indicative button structure, and the trigger member is located in the protruding portion of the button housing (or the trigger member protrudes beyond the perforation of the button housing). Therefore, the position of the protruding portion can indicate the effective trigger button. Therefore, the user can effectively trigger the button by using the fingertip to find the protruding portion of the protruding portion, so that the user can avoid the problem that the button reaction fails due to improper pressing position. In addition, the most direct way for the user to operate the button is to use the touch to feel the unevenness of the surface of the button. Therefore, the protruding portion of the button has a very effective indication effect on the user, which can make the user intuitive. The ground is pressed on the protruding portion of the button, so even if the spacing between the buttons is relatively close or the button area is small, the user can press the protruding surface to correctly find the center of gravity of the button without A situation in which another button is accidentally touched due to a positional deviation of the finger. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the appended claimsededededededededededededededededededededededededed [Embodiment] In order to solve the problem that the user may cause a false touch or a button reaction failure due to an incorrect pressing position when pressing a button of the mobile phone in the prior art, the present invention forms a convex surface at the surface of the button structure. The user can directly press the protruding surface to drive the trigger member to directly trigger the metal film button 'below the lower side to output a button signal. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem that the user is liable to cause accidental touch or button response failure when operating the keyboard of the conventional mobile phone. 1A is an exploded view of the components of the key structure of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view of the key structure of the embodiment of the present invention disposed on the circuit board. Referring to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B simultaneously, the button structure 200 includes a button surface layer 210, a button body 22A, and a touch device 230. The button structure 200 is disposed above a circuit board 4, and is provided with a metal film button 4i disposed on the circuit board 400. The button surface layer 210 may be additionally provided with a protruding portion 212, and an accommodating space 214 is formed in the protruding portion, and the material of the button surface layer 21〇 may be a plastic material such as rubber or polycarbon (PC). The button body 22Q is disposed below the button surface layer 210 and is composed of a resilient material such as rubber. In addition, the button body 220 has a contact portion 224 and a connecting portion 226, wherein the contact portion 224 has a receiving hole and extends toward the circuit board 400. The triggering member 230 is located in the receiving hole 222 of the button body 220. In 1309051 TW95063 GC 22064twf.doc/t In this embodiment, the trigger member 230 is a rubber post, and the contact portion seems to be disposed on the periphery of the trigger member 23G to restrict the trigger member 23() from moving up and down only vertically. In this way, the contact portion 224 ensures that the trigger member 23 does not deviate to the left or right. In addition, the triggering member 23 can be fixed to the receiving hole 222 by being connected to the connecting portion 226 of the button body 22 by adhesive or the like. Further, the trigger member 23 is configured to be the same as the button body 22. In addition, one end of the triggering member 230 extends into the aforementioned accommodation space 2H, so that the user directly drives the touch panel at the bulge of the bulging portion 212; 230 moves downward. Fig. 2C is a plan view showing the final state after the user presses the button structure of Fig. 2; Referring to FIG. 2C, when the user presses the convex portion 212 of the button surface layer 21, the triggering member 230 moves downwards according to the driving of the protruding portion 212, and triggers the electrode of the metal film button 410 to be turned on at the first time. Enter ^ to send a button signal. At the second time, the contact portion of the button body 220 also contacts the metal film button 410. When the pressing action is completed, since the applied pressure has been removed, the button body 230 is restored to its original state by elasticity to drive the button surface layer 210 to resume the position before pressing, and the connecting portion 226 will also trigger the triggering member 230. Take the metal film button 41〇 away, and let the trigger member 230 return to the position before the waste. Since the triggering member 230 is located at the accommodating space 214 formed in the protruding portion 212, when the user presses the protruding portion 212, the triggering member 230 can be surely driven and the metal film button 41 触发 is triggered, which can avoid the prior art.
