DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a micro switch, and more particularly to a micro switch capable of reducing sound. [Prior Art] In today's information age, computers and other electronic devices have long been popularized. Almost every household has more than one computer, and the importance of connecting the computer to the user is undoubted. 'Therefore, the number of inventions such as the improvement of the squirrel-like device has increased year by year. Both the mechanical mouse and the optical mouse have left and right buttons. When the user touches the mouse, the left and right buttons trigger the micro switch under the button and the control command for the production line. However, when a conventional micro switch is pressed, a large sound is generated. In some cases, for example, a plurality of people operate the mouse in the same conference room, and the sound generated by the micro switch causes a user's trouble. It is necessary to have a low-motion micro switch. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to reduce the number of operating sounds. The object of the present invention is to provide a crane switch, in particular a one-way switch. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a micro switch including a base; an upper jaw having a perforation and an impact portion; 5 200830343 a common end disposed at one end of the base and having a bump; a normally open end disposed on the base The other end; the normally closed end is disposed on the side of the normally open end; the end of the shrapnel 'the shrapnel is connected with the convex point, and the other end of the shrapnel is in contact with the normally closed end; and the pressing member includes the button portion and the flange The button portion is disposed around the button portion, wherein the button portion passes through the through hole of the upper cover to contact the flange with the impact portion; wherein the flange of the impact portion or the button portion is made of a shock absorbing material. • In the case of better compensation, the common, normally open and normally closed ends are made of metal. In the preferred embodiment, the shock absorbing material comprises rubber, talc, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPR). [Embodiment] As described in the above-mentioned prior art, in order to improve the sound of the button generated by the micro switch, the present invention proposes a micro switch which can reduce the sound generated when the micro switch is operated. • First, explain the structure of the microswitch. Refer to the figure, which is a side view of the structure of the conventional microswitch. The micro switch 100 includes a base 1 (1), a pressing member 11A, and an upper cover. The upper cover 102 has a through hole 103. In addition, the micro switch 1A further includes the following components: a common terminal H) 5 is disposed at the end of the base 101, and the common terminal 1〇5 has a bump 1〇6. The normally open end H) 7 is disposed at the other end of the base 101, and is provided with a normally closed end (10) on the side of the normally open end. Further, the end of the - shrapnel 1G9 is in contact with the bump 1〇6 of the common end milk, and the other end is in contact with the normally closed end 108. The pressing member ιι includes the button portion U1 and the flange H2, and the button portion lu of the pressing member 110 passes through the hole 103 of the upper cover 1〇2 to penetrate the hole 103 around the button portion 111 and the upper cover 102. The portion just contacts 'where the flange 112 is used to prevent the pressing member 11 from slipping out of the perforation 1〇3. The micro switch 1〇0 mainly relies on the contact state between the spring piece and the common end 105, the normally open end 1〇7, and the closed end 108 to generate a switching signal. One end of the shrapnel_ is in contact with the bump 106 on the common end 105 in an unstressed state (the shrapnel 109 shown by the solid line in the first figure), and the shrapnel should be in contact with the normally closed end. The loop is formed to give the U-switch 1GG-disabled (4). When the pressing member (10) of the micro-domain (10) is pressed, the pressing member 110 presses the elastic piece 109 to cause the elastic piece 109 to leave the normally closed end (10) and is attached to the normally-opened end 107 as shown by the broken line in the first figure. At this time, the common terminal 105 forms a loop through the spring 109 and the opening 107 and generates a conduction signal to the micro switch. When the pressing member 110 is released by the external force, the elastic piece 1〇9 is no longer under the pressing member 11〇 and leaves the normally open end 107, and returns to the state of being in contact with the normally closed end 1〇8. When the pressing member 110 is pressed, the pressing member m is moved downward to press against the elastic piece so that the end of the elastic piece 109 comes into contact with the normally open end 1〇7 to form a loop, and an ON signal is generated. When pressing [the external force of the reducing member 110 disappears, the elastic force of the elastic piece 1〇9 bounces the pressing member (10) back to the position before the original unstressed force] and when the pressing member 110 returns to the original position, the flange ι 2 of the pressing member ιι Will hit the impact of the upper cover just. The inventor of the present invention found that the conventional micro switch just above the cover and the pressing member 110 are made of hard plastic, so that the flange (1) of the pressing member 11 has a large sound when it collides with the impact portion 104 of the upper cover. This is the main source of the operating sound of the microswitch. Please refer to the second _, (b), which is a schematic view of the upper cover of the micro switch of the present invention separated from the base. The micro switch 200 includes a base 20 and an upper cover 202 and a pressing member 21, and the base 2 is provided with a common end 205, a normally open end 207, a normally closed end 208, and a spring 209. The upper cover 202 has a perforation 203' and the perforation 203 has two short sides 4 striking portions 2〇4. In the micromotion of the present invention, the common terminal 205 is disposed at the end of the base 2G1, and the common terminal 205 has a bump. The normally open end 107 is provided at the other end of the base 101, and the normally closed end 108 is located at the side of the normally open end 2〇7. One end of the elastic piece 209 is connected to the bump 206 of the common end 205, and the other end thereof is in contact with the normally closed end 2〇8. The pressing member 210 includes a button portion 211 and a flange 212, and the flange 212 is disposed around the button portion 211, and the button portion 211 passes through the through hole 203 of the upper cover 202 to cause the impact portion of the flange 212 and the upper cover 2〇2. The contact 204 is in contact with the elastic piece 209. The common terminal 205, the normally open end 207, the normally closed end 208, and the shrapnel 209 are used to form a loop for the micro switch 200 to operate normally. The operation principle of the micro switch 2〇〇 of the present invention is the same as that of the prior art, and therefore will not be described again. Based on the source analysis of the operation sound of the micro switch described above, in order to reduce the sound generated by the operation of the micro switch, the present invention particularly replaces the material of the flange 212 on the impact portion 204 or the pressing member 210 with a shock absorbing material. In a preferred embodiment, the impact portion 204 is made of a shock absorbing material, such as rubber, stone, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPR), and the remaining components, such as the impact portion of the cover 202. The material other than 204 and the entire pressing member 210 are kept unchanged, that is, made of plastic. When the micro switch 2 is operated, the button portion 211 of the pressing member 21 is passed through the through hole 203 of the upper cover 202, and the flange 212 comes into contact with the striking portion 204 as shown in Fig. 3. Since the impact portion 204 is made of a shock absorbing material, the impact force from the impact of the two is absorbed by the impact portion 204, and the shock absorbing material of the impact portion 204 is soft, so the hard flange 212 hits the soft impact. At the time of the portion 204, the impact portion 204 absorbs the sound generated by the impact 8 200830343 to reduce the effect of the operation sound. Among them, the material of the other parts of the upper cover is different from the material of the tearing of the impact portion. However, the double cover technology (D〇ubieinjecti〇n) can be used to make the upper cover 2〇2 integrally formed. In still another preferred embodiment, the present invention produces the flange 212 of the pressing member 21G as a shock absorbing material. Thus, when the flange 2〇4 collides with the striking portion 2〇4, the flange of the training, such as its own shock absorbing ability, can reduce the sound generated when the microswitch is operated. Of course, the button portion of the member 210 is different from the material of the flange 212, but the press button 21 can also be formed by double injection molding. Of course, the shock absorbing material is not limited to the materials specifically enumerated in the embodiment, and any operation to reduce the operation sound of the micro switch by changing the pressing key flange or the impact member f is the present invention. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the above (4). Therefore, any changes or modifications made in the spirit of the other disclosures should be included in the case. Within the scope of the patent application. 200830343 [Simple description of the diagram] This case can be obtained through a more detailed understanding of the following drawings and descriptions: The first figure is a side view of the structure of the conventional micro switch. The second figures (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams showing the separation of the upper cover and the base of the micro switch of the present invention.
