Intelligent terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers have become essential scientific and technological products in the life, study and entertainment processes of people, and bring a great deal of convenience and fun to the life of people. Along with the diversified development of intelligent terminal function, intelligent terminal's a great variety, the brand is various for can supply the consumer to select intelligent terminal a lot, how to improve the user experience who segments the field or segment the function, in order to obtain consumer's favor, become the problem that intelligent terminal producer more and more values.

At present, some intelligent terminals can use movable specific entity operation keys to complete the triggering operation of specific functions in specific application scenes (such as game scenes), so as to bring better experience (such as game experience) for consumers, and are popular with more and more consumers.

In the related art, in order to prevent the entity operation keys used in such specific application scenarios from being opened by mistake, the intelligent terminal needs to control the opening or closing of the specific entity operation keys through a control mechanism, such as unlocking, or popping up and retracting. However, the conventional control mechanism and the physical operation key are controlled by a motor, which is easily damaged or fails due to circuit failure, so that the triggering operation of a specific function is unreliable.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide an operation key device capable of reliably realizing the trigger operation of a specific function, which is advantageous for improving the reliability of the intelligent terminal.

The technical scheme of the disclosure is further explained in the following with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an intelligent terminal in an embodiment. Fig. 2 is an assembly view of the operation key device shown in one embodiment. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the operation key and the transmission assembly shown in fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an assembly view of an operation key device shown in another embodiment. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the operation key and the trigger in one embodiment. Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the operation key and the trigger member in another embodiment.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an intelligent terminal is provided, which includes an operation key device for implementing activation or deactivation of a specific function. The operating key device includes a mounting member 100, an operating key 200, a trigger 300, a transmission assembly 400, and a pressing assembly 500.

The operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are respectively movable relative to the mounting member 100, and the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 have a first state and a second state therebetween. When the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the first state, the operation key 200 is in the open state and can drive the trigger 300 to perform the trigger operation; when the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the second state, the operation key 200 is in the closed state, and cannot drive the trigger 300 to perform the trigger operation.

In addition, the pressing member 500 is telescopically disposed in the mounting member 100, and controls the triggering member through the transmission member 400, so as to switch the operation key 200 between the open state and the closed state.

When the intelligent terminal is used, the pressing component 500 is arranged on the mounting part 100 in a telescopic mode, and then the operation key 200 can be controlled to be switched between the opening state and the closing state in a pressing mode, so that the intelligent terminal is easy to realize and simple and reliable to operate. Specifically, an external force transmits a force and a displacement to the transmission assembly 400 through the pressing assembly 500, and the transmission assembly 400 is utilized to control the movement of the trigger assembly, such as the movement of the operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300, so that the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in a first state, the operation key 200 is in an open state, and the trigger 300 can be driven to perform a trigger operation; after the use of the relevant specific scene is completed, the pressing assembly 500 may be continuously utilized, so that the external force transmits the force and displacement to the transmission assembly 400 through the pressing assembly 500, and the transmission assembly 400 controls the trigger assembly to move in the reverse direction, such as the movement of the operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300, so as to enable the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 to be in the second state, and the operation key 200 cannot realize the trigger operation through the trigger 300, so that the operation key 200 is in the off state. Therefore, the operation key device can reliably realize the triggering operation of a certain specific function of the intelligent terminal, so that the intelligent terminal is more reliable when the specific function is started and closed, and better experience is brought to a user.

In some embodiments, the operation key device further includes an electrical signal element 600, and when the operation key 200 is in the open state, the operation key 200 can trigger the electrical signal element 600 through the trigger 300, so that the electrical signal element 600 generates an electrical signal. In this way, the electrical signal element 600 is triggered by the operation key 200 through the trigger 300 to generate a corresponding electrical signal to complete the triggering or using of the corresponding specific function.

The electrical signal element 600 includes a switch capable of generating an electrical signal (e.g., 0, 1), such as a movable switch and an inductive switch. The movable switch comprises a button switch, a knob switch, a shifting piece switch, a pull-plug switch, a spring piece switch and the like. The inductive switch comprises a magnetic displacement inductive switch, a photoelectric inductive switch, a pressure inductive switch and the like.

In an exemplary embodiment, the operation keys 200 are game keys. Thus, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, the operation key 200 is pressed, and the trigger 300 triggers the movable switch, so that the movable switch is closed to generate an electric signal, and further, similar game commands such as shooting, returning to the city, withdrawing and the like can be sent out, and better game operation experience is provided for the user.

Operation key 200 or operation key 200 as the start and stop of the video mode; alternatively, the operation keys 200 are used for turning on and off the specific photographing mode. Alternatively, the operation key 200 is used as a key to turn on or off a function, such as turning on and off an APP, starting or off an automatic timer, starting or off an automatic recording, turning on or off an NFC function, and so on.

It should be noted that, the "first state" may be understood that there is a transmission cooperation between the "operation key 200" and the "trigger 300", so that the operation key 200 directly or indirectly drives the trigger 300 to move, so as to implement the corresponding trigger operation. At this time, the "operation key 200" may be considered to be in the on state.

As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the mounting member 100 is a center frame. So, directly assemble on the center for the structure of manipulating key device is compacter, can adapt to the needs of the miniaturized development of intelligent terminal.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the operation key 200, the triggering member 300, the transmission member 400 and the pressing member 500 are integrated into the mounting member 100 and assembled into a whole, and then the assembly can be modularly assembled to the middle frame. So, be favorable to improving intelligent terminal's packaging efficiency.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the operation key 200 can abut against the trigger 300 to move the trigger 300.

Alternatively, the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move through a transmission structure (such as a gear transmission structure, a link structure, etc., not shown).

Correspondingly, the "second state" can be understood as that the transmission fit between the "operation key 200" and the "trigger 300" is broken, so that the operation key 200 cannot drive the trigger 300 to move, so as to realize the corresponding trigger operation, and further avoid the misoperation. At this time, the "operation key 200" may be considered to be in the off state.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment, when the pressing assembly 500 unlocks the operation key 200 through the transmission assembly 400, the operation key 200 can move so as to enable the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 to be in a first state; when the pressing assembly 500 locks the operation key 200 through the transmission assembly 400, the operation key 200 is fixed to the mounting member 100, so that the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the second state. Thus, the pressing assembly 500 locks or unlocks the operation key 200 through the transmission assembly 400, and the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are directly switched between the first state and the second state. That is, switching between the on state and the off state of the operation key 200 is realized.

As shown in fig. 3, in an exemplary embodiment, the operation key 200 is provided with a limiting tooth 201, and the transmission assembly 400 is provided with a limiting portion 410 matched with the limiting tooth 201. Thus, the pressing component 500 is pressed to drive the limiting portion 410 on the transmission component 400 to move, so as to unlock or lock the limiting teeth 201, and further to control the unlocking or locking of the operation key 200.

Optionally, the operation key 200 is rotatably disposed, and the limit teeth 201 are disposed on the operation key 200 to form a ratchet structure. The limiting portion 410 is a shifting piece matched with the ratchet structure. The transmission assembly 400 includes a flexible transmission member 420 (such as a brake cable, a traction rope, etc.) for driving the dial to rotate or a rigid transmission member 420 (such as a gear or a swing link, etc.) for driving the dial to rotate.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, in another embodiment, when the pressing assembly 500 unlocks the trigger 300 through the transmission assembly 400, the trigger 300 can move to enable the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 to be in the first state; when the pressing assembly 500 locks the trigger 300 through the transmission assembly 400, the trigger 300 is fixed to the mounting member 100, so that the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the second state. The trigger 300 is locked by the control mechanism, so that the trigger 300 is locked and can not transmit the force and displacement applied to the operating key 200; alternatively, the trigger 300 is unlocked by the control mechanism, so that the trigger 300 can transmit the force and displacement applied to the operation key 200, and the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 can be directly switched between the first state and the second state. That is, switching between the on state and the off state of the operation key 200 is realized.

For example, referring to the operation key 200, in an example, the triggering member 300 may also be provided with a limiting tooth 201, and the transmission assembly 400 is provided with a limiting portion 410 engaged with the limiting tooth 201. Thus, the pressing component 500 is pressed to drive the limiting portion 410 on the transmission component 400 to move, so as to unlock or lock the limiting teeth 201, and further to control the unlocking or locking of the trigger 300.

Alternatively, in yet another embodiment, the pressing assembly 500 drives the trigger 300 to move through the transmission assembly 400, so that the trigger 300 is in transmission fit with the operation key 200 to be in the first state, or the trigger 300 is separated from the operation key 200 to be in the second state. By moving the trigger 300, the trigger 300 cannot transmit the force and displacement applied to the operation key 200, and the state of the operation key 200 is directly switched.

In some embodiments, the operation key 200 is telescopically movably disposed on the mounting member 100; alternatively, the operation key 200 may be rotatably provided to the mounting member 100. In this way, the movement of the operation key 200 can be more flexible to meet the requirements of different applications.

The operation key 200 is mounted to the mounting member 100 in a manner including, but not limited to, a sliding connection, a rotating connection, etc.

The trigger 300 can also be disposed on the mounting member 100 in a telescopic manner; alternatively, the trigger 300 may be rotatably disposed to the mounting member 100. In this way, the motion of the trigger 300 can be more flexible to meet the requirements of different applications.

In addition, when combined with the movement pattern of the operation key 200, the following combinations are included:

1. when the operation key 200 is moved in a telescopic manner, the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to also move in a telescopic manner, or drive the trigger 300 to rotate.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are slidably disposed on the mounting member 100, and can be abutted against each other. Thus, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, pressing the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move telescopically.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the operation key 200 is slidably connected to the mounting member 100, the operation key 200 is provided with a rack (not labeled), and the trigger 300 is provided with a gear (not labeled) engaged with the rack. Thus, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, i.e. the rack is engaged with the gear, pressing the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to rotate through the cooperation of the rack and the gear.

2. When the operation key 200 is rotated, the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to rotate, or drive the trigger 300 to extend or retract.

As shown in fig. 6, in some embodiments, the operation key 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 100, the operation key 200 is provided with a driving gear (not labeled), the trigger 300 is provided with a driven gear (not labeled) engaged with the driving gear, and the driving gear and the driven gear are separately provided. Thus, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, i.e. the driving gear is engaged with the gear, the rotation operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to rotate through the cooperation of the driving gear and the driven gear. The control mechanism may lock or unlock the operation key 200, or lock or unlock the trigger 300, or separate the gear from the rack.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the operation key 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 100, the operation key 200 is provided with a gear, and the triggering member 300 is provided with a rack engaged with the gear. Thus, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, i.e. the rack is engaged with the gear, the rotation of the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move telescopically through the cooperation of the rack and the gear.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the pressing assembly 500 can lock or unlock the operation key 200, or lock or unlock the trigger 300, or separate the gear and the rack through the transmission assembly 400, so as to switch the operation key 200 between the open state and the closed state.

It should be noted that the "transmission assembly 400" may be implemented by any transmission structure capable of driving the movable operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300 to move, including but not limited to a flexible transmission unit, and the flexible member (the flexible member may be a belt, a chain, a track, etc.) of the flexible transmission unit can drive the operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300 to reciprocate, so as to open or close the operation key 200. Or a rigid transmission unit, such as a rack and pinion structure, a link structure, etc., which can drive the operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300 to reciprocate, so as to open or close the operation key 200.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, in an embodiment, the transmission assembly 400 includes a transmission member 420, the transmission member 420 is movably connected to the mounting member 100, and the operation key 200 and/or the trigger 300 controlled by the transmission member 420 is pressed by the pressing assembly 500, so that the operation key 200 is switched between the open state and the closed state. Thus, the transmission member 420 can be used to directly switch between locking and unlocking of the operation key 200, or switch between locking and unlocking of the trigger 300, or move the position of the trigger 300, so as to realize transmission matching or separation with the operation key 200. The structure has less transmission parts, so that the transmission efficiency is higher; and the transmission fit error is reduced, and the transmission precision is improved.

In addition, the specific implementation form of the control mechanism formed by the "transmission assembly 400" and the "pressing assembly 500" may also be various, such as a link control mechanism for converting the telescopic power of the pressing assembly 500 into a movement along the length direction of the mounting member 100, a flexible control mechanism, and the like. Or a rack and pinion control mechanism for converting the expansion and contraction into rotational power.

The operation key device of the present disclosure is further described with reference to the structures shown in fig. 7 to 11, and includes a mounting member (i.e., a middle frame) 100, an operation key 200, a trigger 300, a transmission assembly 400 and a pressing assembly 500, wherein the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are respectively movable relative to the mounting member 100, and the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 have a first state (i.e., an open state in fig. 7 and 9) and a second state (i.e., a closed state in fig. 10 and 11); when the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the first state, the operation key 200 is in the open state and can drive the trigger 300 to perform the trigger operation; when the operation key 200 and the trigger 300 are in the second state, the operation key 200 is in the closed state, and cannot drive the trigger 300 to perform the trigger operation. Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the operation key device shown in another embodiment (the operation key 200 is in an open state). Fig. 8 is a schematic structural view of the transmission assembly shown in fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a front view schematically showing the operation key device shown in fig. 7. Fig. 10 is a schematic structural view of the operation key device shown in fig. 7 with the operation keys in a closed state. Fig. 11 is a front view schematically showing the operation key device shown in fig. 10.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 400 includes a transmission member 420, the transmission member 420 is movably connected to the mounting member 100, the trigger 300 is movably disposed on the transmission member 420, and the pressing assembly 500 drives the trigger 300 to move through the transmission member 420. Thus, the trigger 300 moves along with the transmission member 420, so as to lock or unlock the trigger 300, or to engage or disengage the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 in a transmission manner.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the triggering member 300 is elastically resettable on the transmission member 420, and the triggering member 300 and the operation key 200 are in press fit or separated from each other through the transmission member 420.

Further, in the present embodiment, the operation key 200 is telescopically disposed on the mounting member 100, and the triggering member 300 is disposed at one end of the transmission member 420 in a lifting manner; when the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 are in the first state, the trigger 300 abuts against the operation key 200, so that the operation key 200 protrudes from the outer side wall of the mounting member 100; when the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 are in the second state, the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 are staggered. In this way, when the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 are in the first state, the trigger 300 can abut against the operation key 200, so that the operation key 200 is in the open state. At this time, pressing the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move downwards, and the trigger 300 is used to trigger the electrical signal element 600; after the pressing force is removed, the trigger 300 and/or the operation key 200 are/is reset under the action of the elastic reset force, so that the operation key 200 is in an ejection state for the next operation of the user. The pressing component 500 is utilized to drive the transmission member 420 to move, so that the triggering member 300 also moves along with the transmission member 420, and the triggering member 300 is staggered with the operation key 200, that is, the triggering member 300 and the operation key 200 are in the second state, so that the operation key 200 is in the closed state. When the key needs to be used, the pressing member drives the transmission member 420 to move, and drives the trigger member 300 to move to the lower part of the operation key 200, so that the two are mutually abutted. Therefore, the movable transmission member 420 can switch the transmission fit and the separation fit between the trigger 300 and the operation key 200.

Furthermore, the operating key 200 and/or the trigger 300 are provided with a guide 202 to facilitate the introduction of the trigger 300 below the operating key 200.

The guide portion 202 includes an inverted taper structure or a rounded structure.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, an end of the transmission member 420 is slidably connected to the trigger 300, and the trigger 300 can be automatically reset toward the operation key 200. In this manner, after the operation key 200 is pressed, the operation key 200 can be reset and pop up to the installation member 100 setting under the automatic reset force of the trigger 300 for further operation by the operator. In addition, the trigger 300 is automatically reset and automatically separated from the electrical signal switch to complete one-click triggering.

The "automatic reset" of the trigger 300 can be realized by any conventional technology that meets the use requirement, such as elastic reset (spring, elastic sheet, elastic glue, gas spring, etc.) or magnetic automatic reset (magnet, electromagnet, etc.).

Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 to 11, the triggering member 300 is provided with a sliding slot 310, the transmission member 420 is provided with a sliding protrusion 421 slidably engaged with the sliding slot 310, and a first elastic member 330 is disposed between the sliding protrusion 421 and a side wall of the sliding slot 310, so that the triggering member 300 can be automatically reset. In this way, the trigger 300 moves within a predetermined range by the engagement of the sliding protrusion 421 and the sliding groove 310. In addition, the first elastic member 330 is disposed between the sliding protrusion 421 and the sliding groove 310, so that the trigger 300 can be automatically reset to a preset position.

Specifically, when the operation key 200 is in the open state, pressing the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move downward, and the trigger 300 is used to trigger the electrical signal element 600; after the pressing force is released, the trigger 300 is reset by the elastic reset force of the first elastic member 330, and the operation key 200 is in the pop-up state for the next operation of the user.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 7, in an embodiment, a limiting structure 320 is further disposed between the triggering member 300 and the transmission member 420 to avoid the electrical signal element 600 being crushed due to an excessive pressing force or pressing stroke.

The limiting structure 320 includes, but is not limited to, a limiting platform, a limiting block and the like.

In addition to any of the embodiments of the transmission member 420 described above, as shown in fig. 9 and 11, in one embodiment, when the transmission member 420 is at the first position, the operation key 200 is in the closed state; when the transmission member 420 is at the second position, the operation key 200 is in the on state. Thus, the position of the transmission member 420 is changed to change the state of the operation key 200, and the operation key 200 can be switched between the open state and the closed state by changing the position of the transmission member 420.

Specifically, when the pressing assembly 500 drives the transmission member 420 to be at the second position, the transmission member 420 drives the trigger 300 to move to the lower side of the operation key 200, so that the two are abutted against each other, and the operation key 200 is in the closed state. When the operation key 200 needs to be opened, the pressing component 500 drives the transmission member 420 to move from the second position to the first position, and the transmission member 420 drives the trigger 300 to move and stagger with the operation key 200, so that the electric signal element 600 cannot be triggered by the trigger 300 when the operation key 200 is pressed, and the operation key 200 is in a closed state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the transmission member 420 is slidably disposed on the mounting member 100 and can be automatically reset to the first position. Thus, the transmission member 420 is slidably disposed and can be automatically reset to the first position, so that the operation key 200 can also be automatically reset to the closed state.

The "automatic reset" of the transmission member 420 can be realized by any conventional technology that meets the use requirement, such as elastic reset (spring, elastic sheet, elastic glue, air spring, etc.) or magnetic automatic reset (magnet, electromagnet, etc.).

Specifically, in this embodiment, an elastic member is disposed between the transmission member 420 and the mounting member 100, and then the elastic restoring force is utilized to automatically restore to the first position, so that the operation key 200 and the triggering member 300 are in the second state, and the operation key 200 is in the closed state, and cannot drive the triggering member 300 to perform the triggering operation.

In one embodiment, the pressing component 500 can push the transmission member 420 to move toward the second position, and fix the transmission member 420 at the second position; when the pressing assembly 500 is reset, the driving member 420 can be automatically reset to the first position. Thus, the pressing member 500 can switch between the first position and the second position by controlling the transmission member 420 to switch between the closed state and the open state of the operation key 200.

The pressing member 500 can switch the transmission member 420 between the first position and the second position by various means, such as a link mechanism or a rack-and-pinion-and-rack mechanism, to move the transmission member 420.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 to 11, the pressing assembly 500 includes a reset button 510 and a lock button 520 telescopically disposed on the mounting member 100, the reset button 510 includes a pressing portion 511, and the lock button 520 includes a latch hook 521; the transmission member 420 comprises a first inclined surface 422 matched with the pressing portion 511, a second inclined surface 423 matched with the locking key 520, and a locking groove 424 arranged at the other end of the transmission member 420, wherein the first inclined surface 422 and the second inclined surface 423 are arranged at intervals and are close to the trigger 300; when the transmission member 420 is located at the first position, the locking button 520 is pressed, so that the locking hook 521 can be pressed against the second inclined surface 423 to push the transmission member 420 to move toward the second position; when the locking button 520 is separated from the second inclined surface 423 and is pressed further, the locking hook 521 can be in limit fit with the locking groove 424, so that the transmission member 420 is located at the second position; when the transmission member 420 is at the second position, the reset button 510 is pressed, so that the pressing portion 511 can be pressed against the first inclined surface 422, so as to separate the locking hook 521 from the locking groove 424, and the transmission member 420 is automatically reset to the first position.

Thus, the reset button 510 and the lock button 520 are respectively used for controlling to switch the transmission member 420 between the first position and the second position. When the transmission member 420 needs to be switched from the first position to the second position, the locking button 520 is pressed, and the locking hook 521 thereof cooperates with the second inclined surface 423 to push the transmission member 420 to move toward the second position; when the preset position is reached, the locking hook 521 is in limit-fit with the locking groove 424 (as shown in fig. 9), so that the transmission member 420 is in the second position and the operation key 200 is in the open state. When the transmission member 420 needs to be switched from the second position to the first position, the reset key 510 is only pressed to press the pressing portion 511 and the first inclined surface 422, so that the locking hook 521 is separated from the locking groove 424, and the transmission member 420 is separated from the second position, and automatically reset to the first position, and the operation key 200 is in a closed state. In this process, the second inclined surface 423 also pushes the locking hook 521 to drive the locking button 520 to reset, so that the protruding mounting member 100 is disposed.

On the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment, when the transmission member 420 is located at the first position, the pressing portion 511 is staggered from the first inclined surface 422 and is locked and matched with the transmission member 420, and the locking hook 521 is disposed opposite to the second inclined surface 423. Therefore, the driving member 420 cannot be moved by pressing the reset button 510, and only by pressing the locking button 520, the locking hook 521 is engaged with the second inclined surface 423 to move the driving member 420 to the second position, thereby effectively avoiding misoperation.

In addition to any of the above embodiments of the reset button 510, in some embodiments, the reset button 510 and the lock button 520 are respectively configured to be automatically reset and protrude from the outer sidewall of the mounting member 100. In this way, the pressing assembly 500 is automatically reset, and the operator can perform the next pressing operation conveniently.

On the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment, the reset key 510 is slidably connected to the lock key 520, and the mounting member 100 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 110 for accommodating the reset key 510 and the lock key 520, and a first access hole 111 communicated with the first accommodating cavity 110, the reset key 510 includes a first pressing body 512 capable of extending out of the first access hole 111 and a first limiting body 513 in limiting fit with the first access hole 111, the lock key 520 includes a second pressing body 522 capable of extending out of the first access hole 111 and a second limiting body 523 in limiting fit with the first access hole 111; a second elastic element 530 is disposed between the first position-limiting body 513 and/or the second position-limiting body 523 and the mounting element 100, so that at least a portion of the first pressing body 512 and at least a portion of the second pressing body 522 protrude from an outer sidewall of the mounting element 100. Thus, the reset button 510 and the lock button 520 are slidably connected to each other and disposed in the first accommodating cavity 110, so as to be disposed in the mounting member 100 more compactly. The first position-limiting body 513 and the second position-limiting body 523 are used for limiting the position of the first elastic member 530, so as to prevent the reset button 510 and the lock button 520 from popping out and separating from the mounting member 100 under the reset action of the second elastic member 530. Thereby, the reset button 510 and the locking button 520 can be reliably installed and can automatically reset the outer sidewall of the protrusion mounting member 100.

It should be noted that the "pressing portion 511" may be a part of the "reset key 510", that is, the "pressing portion 511" and the "other part of the reset key 510" are integrally formed; or a separate member that can be separated from the rest of the reset key 510, i.e., the pressing portion 511, can be manufactured separately and then combined with the rest of the reset key 510, e.g., the second connecting body, to form a whole.

Equivalently, "a body", "a portion", or "a hook" may be a part of a corresponding "member", that is, "a body", "a portion", or "other part of the" member "is manufactured integrally; the "part" can be made separately from the "other part" and then combined with the "other part" into a whole. The expression "a certain body" or "a certain portion" in the present disclosure is only one example, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, so long as the above features are included and the same function is understood to be equivalent to the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the "pressing component 500" and the "transmission component 400" may be one of the components of the "control mechanism" module, that is, the two components may be assembled into one module and then modularly assembled; the two may be independent of each other and may be separately mounted, i.e., the mounting member 100 may be integrally formed in the present apparatus.

Equivalently, the components included in the "assembly" and "device" disclosed in the present disclosure can be flexibly combined, i.e., can be produced in a modularized manner according to the actual situation, and can be assembled in a modularized manner as an independent module; the modules may be assembled separately, and one module may be constructed in the present apparatus. The division of the above-mentioned components in the present disclosure is only one embodiment, which is convenient for reading and not limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure, and the technical solutions equivalent to the present disclosure should be understood as if they are included and the functions are the same.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 to 11, in an embodiment, the operation key 200 can be automatically reset to the mounting member 100, and when the trigger 300 is misaligned with the operation key 200, the operation key 200 is automatically retracted into the mounting member 100. Thus, the operation key 200 can be automatically reset to be retracted into the mounting member 100, and the operation key 200 can be prevented from being damaged by misoperation. Meanwhile, the mounting member 100 can be used to protect the operation key 200, and the operation key 200 is retracted into the mounting member 100, so that the hand feeling of the user operating the intelligent terminal in the normal mode is not affected.

On the basis of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 to 11, in an embodiment, the mounting member 100 is provided with a second accommodating cavity 120 for accommodating the operation key 200 and a second access hole 121 communicated with the second accommodating cavity 120, and the operation key 200 includes a third pressing body 210 capable of extending out of the access hole and a third limiting body 220 in limiting fit with the second access hole 121; a third elastic member 700 is disposed between the third position-limiting body 220 and the mounting member 100, so that the operation key 200 can automatically retract into the second accommodating cavity 120.

In this way, the operation key 200 is slidably disposed in the second receiving cavity 120, and can be more compactly disposed in the mounting member 100. In addition, the limiting function of the third limiting body 220 is utilized to prevent the operation key 200 from popping out and separating from the installation part 100 under the reset acting force of the third elastic member 700. Thereby making the operation key 200 securely mounted and automatically resettable in the retraction mounting member 100.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 and 9, and fig. 10 and 11, when the operation key device of the present disclosure is used, if the operation key 200 needs to be opened, the locking button 520 can be pressed, so that the locking hook 521 is pressed against the second inclined surface 423, and the transmission member 420 is pushed to move toward the second position; in this process, the transmission member 420 drives the trigger member 300 to move towards the lower part of the operation key 200, and is gradually guided into the lower part of the operation key 200 by the cooperation of the guiding portion 202. When the locking button 520 is pressed to the predetermined position, the locking hook 521 is in limit-fit with the locking groove 424 on the transmission member 420, so that the locking button 520 is locked, and the transmission member 420 is limited to move, so that the transmission member 420 is located at the second position, and the trigger 300 abuts against the operation key 200, so that the operation key 200 is in an open state.

When the operation key 200 is in the open state, pressing the operation key 200 can drive the trigger 300 to move downward, and the trigger 300 is used to trigger the electrical signal element 600 to generate an electrical signal; after the pressing force is removed, the trigger 300 and the operation key 200 are reset under the action of the elastic reset force, so that the operation key 200 reliably pops up the side wall of the intelligent terminal and is in a popping state, and a user can operate the intelligent terminal for the next time. For example, the operation key device is applied to a game scene, at this time, the operation key 200 is pressed, the movable switch is triggered through the trigger 300, the movable switch is closed to generate an electric signal, and further similar game commands such as 'shooting', 'city returning', 'retreat' and the like can be sent, the operation key 200 is reliable in resetting, a user can obtain good pressing touch, and the game operation experience is better.

When the operation key 200 needs to be closed, the reset key 510 is pressed, so that the pressing portion 511 can be pressed against and matched with the first inclined surface 422, and the transmission member 420 is pushed to move in the extending direction of the second position, so that the locking hook 521 is separated from the locking groove 424. Under the restoring force of the second elastic member 530, the locking button 520 is automatically restored, so that the locking hook 521 is disposed away from the locking slot 424. After the pressing force is removed, the reset key 510 can also be automatically reset, so that the pressing portion 511 is separated from the second inclined surface 423, the transmission member 420 can be automatically reset to the first position, the operation key 200 is further staggered from the trigger 300, and the operation key 200 is in a closed state. In addition, the pressing portion 511 is offset from the second inclined surface 423, so that when the operation key 200 is in the closed state, the movement of the transmission member 420 cannot be realized by pressing the reset key 510. The locking button 520 can be pressed to make the locking hook 521 press-fit with the second inclined surface 423 and push the transmission member 420 to move toward the second position, so as to effectively prevent the operation key 200 from being started due to misoperation.

Thus, the operation key device has reliable transmission structure and can reliably realize the triggering operation of specific functions. The intelligent terminal is applied to the intelligent terminal, the specific function can be reliably turned on or turned off, the operation is simple, and better experience is brought to a user.
