Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a conventional waterproof button module.

The technical features, contents, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof, can be understood by the present inventors, and the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The subject matter is only for the purpose of illustration and description. It is not intended to be a true proportion and precise configuration after the implementation of the present invention. Therefore, the scope and configuration relationship of the attached drawings should not be interpreted or limited. First described.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a waterproof button module of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the waterproof component module 2 of the present invention comprises a button unit 21 and a waterproof unit 22. One end of the button unit 21 has a pressing surface 211 for the user to press. The waterproof unit 22 has a latching portion 221, and the latching portion 221 includes a latching slot 2211. The latching slot 2211 is sleeved on the other end of the button unit 21 relative to the pressing surface 211 to fix the button unit 21 to the waterproof unit. 22 on. In addition, the waterproof unit 22 extends from the periphery of the engaging portion 221 and further has a fixing portion 222, and the fixing portion 222 is covered in the fixing portion 222. There is a fixing member 23. The fixing portion 222 has a convex portion 223 opposite to the other side of the button unit 21.

It should be noted that the waterproof button module 2 is combined into a single-piece structure by covering the waterproof unit 22 outside the fixing member 23, so when assembling the waterproof button module 2, it is not necessary to check whether Foreign matter stays between the waterproof unit 22 and the fixing member 23, thereby reducing the number of man-hours for assembly by the operator.

In addition, when the waterproof unit 22 is disposed in the electronic device, if the surface of the waterproof unit 22 is not placed flat and then the fixing member 23 is placed, the problem of waterproof failure may easily occur. However, the present invention is because the fixing member 23 is wrapped in the waterproof unit 22, thereby reinforcing the strength of the waterproof unit 22 and making the surface of the waterproof unit 22 flatter, so that the operator does not have to assemble the waterproof button module 2 It takes extra time to organize the surface of the waterproof unit 22, thereby reducing the number of man-hours for worker assembly and reducing the chance of waterproof failure.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an electronic device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the electronic device 3 of the present invention comprises a housing 31, an isolation unit 32, a switch unit 33 and a waterproof button module 2. One of the shell faces 311 of the housing 31 has a housing opening 3111 to communicate into the housing 31. The switch unit 33 is disposed in the housing 31 and is located at a position corresponding to the housing opening 3111. One side of the isolation unit 32 has a connection portion 321 and a top abutment portion 322, and the isolation unit 32 has an isolation opening 323 corresponding to the position of the housing opening 3111. The waterproof member module 2 includes a button unit 21, a waterproof unit 22, a fixing member 23, and a connecting member 24. The button unit 21 is disposed through the housing opening 3111 and has a pressing surface 211 exposed outside the housing opening 3111 for the user to press. The waterproof unit 22 has an engaging portion 221 that is bored in the isolation opening 323 and can be erected against the switch unit 33. The engaging portion 221 includes a card slot 2211, and the card slot 2211 is sleeved on the button unit 21 The button unit 21 is fixed to the waterproof unit 22 with respect to the other end of the pressing surface 211. In addition, the waterproof unit 22 extends from the periphery of the engaging portion 221 and further has a fixing portion 222. The fixing portion 222 is covered with a fixing member 23, and the fixing portion 222 has a first opening, and the fixing member 23 corresponds to the first opening. The location has a second opening. When the fixing portion 222 is connected to the connecting portion 321 , the connecting member 24 passes through the first opening, the second opening, and the connecting portion 321 to connect the fixing portion 222 and the connecting portion 321 . In addition, the fixing portion 222 has a convex portion 223 opposite to the other side of the button unit 21. When the waterproof unit 22 is connected to the isolation unit 32, the protruding portion 223 is abutted against the top abutting portion 322 of the isolation unit 32. This achieves the effect of airtight waterproofing.

In this embodiment, when the waterproof button module 2 is to be installed in the electronic device 3, the engaging portion 221 is first passed through the isolation opening 323 of the isolation unit 32, and the pressing surface 211 of the button unit 21 is exposed. The housing opening 3111 is outside. The connecting member 24 is then passed through the first opening of the fixing portion 222, the second opening of the fixing member 23, and the connecting portion 321 of the isolating unit 32, and is tightly locked to the connecting portion 321. Because the waterproof unit 22 is tightly locked to the isolation unit 32, the raised portion 223 of the waterproof unit 22 is tightly abutted against the abutting portion 322 of the isolation unit 32. By the interference effect of the convex portion 223 against the top abutting portion 322, the liquid cannot enter the isolation opening 323 from the waterproof button module 2, thereby achieving the effect of airtight waterproofing.

In summary, the waterproof button module and the electronic device thereof of the present invention cover the waterproof unit with the waterproof member to be combined into a single-piece waterproof unit, thereby reducing the number of assembled components and assembling the waterproof button module. When the time and the waterproof unit and the fixing member are separately assembled, there is a possibility that the foreign matter stays on the waterproof unit to cause waterproof failure. In addition, since the fixing member is wrapped in the waterproof unit, the strength of the waterproof unit can be enhanced, and the surface of the waterproof unit can be made flatter. When the operator assembles this waterproof sheet When it is used in an electronic device, the probability of waterproof failure due to uneven surface of the waterproof unit can be reduced.

The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
