Detailed Description

The application provides electronic equipment, and the toggle switch of the electronic equipment has more reasonable structural design, so that the reliability and the safety of the electronic equipment are improved.

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Referring to fig. 1 to 10, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a housing 1 and a switch assembly, wherein a first surface of the housing 1 is provided with an adjusting hole 11 extending along a first direction, the switch assembly is slidably disposed in the housing 1, and a sliding direction of the switch assembly relative to the housing 1 and the first direction satisfy a parallel condition. The switch assembly includes a button 2, the button 2 is switched between a first position and a second position by pressing operation, and when the button 2 is in different positions, the length of the first surface of the button 2 protruding from the adjustment hole 11 is different. Specifically, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or other various types. The switch assembly is located in a housing 1 of an electronic device, and a user can change the extension length of the button 2 relative to the first surface of the housing 1 (the outer surface of the housing 1) by pressing the button 2, i.e. the button 2 can realize push-type locking and push-type rebound, for example, the user presses once, the button 2 is locked at the first station to enable the button 2 to have a first length relative to the first surface, and presses once again, the button 2 rebounds to the second station to enable the button 2 to have a second length relative to the first surface, and the second length is larger than the first length. With the direction of the first surface toward the outside of the casing 1 being positive, the first length may be a negative value, a zero value, or a slightly positive value, that is, when the button 2 is in the first position, as shown in fig. 1, the positional relationship between the end of the button 2 toward the outside of the casing 1 and the first surface may be concave, flush, or slightly convex. The second length should be a positive value for the user to perform a toggle operation, i.e. when the button 2 is in the second position, as shown in fig. 2, the button 2 extends out of the housing 1a certain distance, and the user can toggle the button 2 to slide the switch assembly relative to the housing 1 of the electronic device. In a preferred embodiment, the second length is not less than 0.5mm, i.e. the distance by which the push button 2 protrudes out of the adjustment aperture 11 is not less than 0.5mm, which may be 1mm, 1.5mm or 2mm, for example. When the button 2 is in the second position shown in fig. 2, the user can dial the button 2 with a finger and move along the adjusting hole 11, so that the switch assembly slides relative to the casing 1 of the electronic device, if the button 2 extends out of the adjusting hole 11 by a distance, that is, the second length is smaller than 0.5mm, the user can hardly push the button 2 with the finger belly, the user needs to scratch the finger with the finger, and the operation experience is very bad, so that the second length is preferably not smaller than 0.5mm, so that the user can dial the button 2 more conveniently.

As shown in fig. 3, the switch assembly may be used to control the opening and closing of the target function 5, for example, by toggling the switch assembly to change the relative positional relationship between the switch assembly and the target function 5, when the user dials the switch assembly to the target function 5, the switch assembly pushes the power-on switch 51 of the target function 5 to turn the target function 5 on, and when the user dials the switch assembly back, the power-on switch 51 of the target function 5 is reset to turn the target function 5 off. In particular, the target function 5 may be a camera assembly or a loudspeaker assembly. It is easy to understand that when the user does not use the switch assembly, the button 2 can be pressed to the first station shown in fig. 1, so that when the user packs or puts the electronic equipment into a pocket, the switch assembly is not easy to misplug, and moreover, as the button 2 does not form obvious local protruding points relative to the surface of the casing 1 at this time, the risk that local protruding points land at the place when the electronic equipment falls is avoided, and the reliability when the electronic equipment falls can be improved. When the user needs to use the switch assembly, the button 2 can be switched to the second station shown in fig. 2 by pressing operation, so as to conveniently perform toggle operation on the button 2. It should be noted that, when the button 2 is at the first station shown in fig. 1, the user may still perform the toggle operation on the button 2, that is, the switch assembly may be normally used when the button 2 is at the first station, but it becomes inconvenient to toggle the button 2 relative to the case that the button 2 is at the second station.

Referring to fig. 4-6 and 8, in a preferred embodiment, the switch assembly comprises a housing 3 and an elastic assembly, the housing 3 having a receiving cavity, the button 2 being at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity, i.e. part or all of the button 2 is located in the receiving cavity of the housing 3. The elastic component sets up in holding the chamber, and the first end and the casing 3 of elastic component are connected, and button 2 and the second end adaptation of elastic component are connected, and button 2 realizes the switching of first station and second station through the elastic component, and button 2 realizes push type locking and push type resilience through the elastic component promptly. The shell 3 of the switch component is in sliding connection with the shell 1 of the electronic equipment, and the elastic component of the switch component is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the shell 3, so that the elastic component can be prevented from interfering with other components in the shell 1 of the electronic equipment, and the working reliability of the elastic component is improved.

Specifically, the casing 3 has a first wall 35 and a second wall 33 that set up relatively, and the guiding hole has been seted up to first wall 35, and the one end that the button 2 is close to regulation hole 11 wears to locate the guiding hole, and the one end that the button 2 kept away from regulation hole 11 is connected with elastic component fixed, and elastic component is connected with second wall 33. The first wall 35 of the housing 3 is arranged close to the aforesaid first surface of the casing 1, preferably the first wall 35 is against an inner wall of the casing 1, which corresponds in position to the aforesaid first surface, i.e. the aforesaid first surface communicates with this inner wall through the adjustment aperture 11. The guide hole on the first wall 35 is in sliding fit with the button 2, so that the button 2 can move better in the pressing direction and the opposite direction of the pressing direction. When the user toggles the button 2, the button 2 transmits a force to the inner wall of the guide hole, thereby moving the housing 3 relative to the casing 1.

In a preferred embodiment, the elastic assembly includes a first elastic member 61 and a second elastic member 62, wherein the first elastic member 61 includes a first plate portion 613 and a second plate portion 611 opposite to each other, and a connecting portion 612 connecting the first plate portion 613 and the second plate portion 611, the second plate portion 611 is located at a side of the first plate portion 613 away from the second wall 33, and two ends of the second elastic member 62 are respectively connected to the first plate portion 613 and the second wall 33. As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the second elastic member 62 is mainly used to provide a driving force for rebounding the button 2, and the first elastic member 61 is provided with the first plate portion 613 and the second plate portion 611 so as to facilitate the opening of the fitting hole for the fitting connection with the button 2. Specifically, the second elastic member 62 may be provided in various structures such as an S-shaped spring plate or a coil spring. Preferably, the second elastic member 62 is an S-shaped elastic sheet and is integrally formed with the first elastic member 61, as shown in fig. 4.

In a preferred embodiment, the first elastic member 61 is adapted to connect with the button 2 and is also used for providing a clamping force when the button 2 is locked, as shown in fig. 5, 6 and 8, the housing 3 has a third wall 36 and a fourth wall 34 opposite to each other, the second wall 33 is intersected with the third wall 36 and the fourth wall 34, the third wall 36 is provided with a receiving groove 361, a bottom surface of the receiving groove 361, that is, a portion of the receiving groove 361 facing the fourth wall 34 has a slope section 3611, a sliding section 3612 and a clamping section connected in sequence, and a stop block 341 is disposed at a position of the fourth wall 34 opposite to the clamping section. The connecting portion 612 of the first elastic member 61 is provided with a clamping portion 6121 extending into the accommodating groove 361 near the second plate portion 611, and the button 2 is provided with a clamping groove 221 and a guiding surface 222 inclined toward the third wall 36 near one side of the fourth wall 34, and the guiding surface 222 is located at one side of the clamping groove 221 away from the first wall 35. When the user presses the button 2 in the state shown in fig. 5, the pressing force is transmitted to the second elastic member 62 through the button 2 and the first plate portion 613 in this order, so that the second elastic member 62 is elastically deformed, and at the same time, the first plate portion 613 is moved in the pressing direction, and since the first plate portion 613 is connected to the second plate portion 611 through the connection portion 612, the connection portion 612 and the second plate portion 611 are also moved in the pressing direction. The first elastic member 61 makes the clamping portion 6121 abut against the bottom surface of the accommodating groove 361 by utilizing the tendency of the connecting portion 612 to spring toward the third wall body 36, and during the process that the connecting portion 612 and the second plate portion 611 move along the pressing direction, the clamping portion 6121 slides along the slope section 3611 and the sliding section 3612 and finally enters the clamping section, as shown in fig. 6, the clamping of the clamping portion 6121 and the clamping section limits the movement of the first elastic member 61 in the opposite direction of the pressing direction, so that the locking attachment of the button 2 in the state shown in fig. 6 is realized. When the button 2 is to be restored from the state shown in fig. 6 to the state shown in fig. 5, the user simply presses the button 2 on the basis of the state shown in fig. 6 and then releases the button, during the pressing, as shown at a in fig. 7, the portion of the second plate portion 611 moving in the pressing direction, which is close to the fourth wall 34, is blocked by the stop block 341, and then the first elastic member 61 is subjected to tensile deformation as the pressing operation proceeds, and at the same time, the second plate portion 611 moves in the direction of arrow B as shown in fig. 7 under the pushing action of the guide surface 222 of the button 2, and thus the engagement portion 6121 of the first elastic member 61 is disengaged from the engagement section of the accommodation groove 361, as shown at C in fig. 7. Then, as the pressing operation proceeds, the guide surface 222 of the button 2 approaches the engaging groove 221 on the side of the first wall 35 to reach the position where the second plate 611 is located, and the engaging groove 221 engages with the second plate 611, as shown at D in fig. 9, and at this time, the button 2 reaches the pressed state shown in fig. 8. The user releases the button 2 on the basis of the state shown in fig. 8, the button 2 rebounds under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 62, and since the clamping groove 221 is clamped with the second plate portion 611, during the rebound, the second plate portion 611 moves along with the button 2 in the opposite direction to the pressing direction, the clamping portion 6121 of the first elastic member 61 encounters the slope section 3611 after passing the sliding section 3612 of the accommodating groove 361, and then the clamping portion 6121 slides along the slope section 3611, as shown at E in fig. 10, and the second plate portion 611 moves in the arrow F direction as shown in fig. 10 under the pushing action of the slope section 3611, so that the second plate portion 611 is separated from the clamping groove 221, as shown at G in fig. 10, the button 2 is reset, and the switch assembly returns to the state shown in fig. 5.
