組裝時,首先將電路板450固定於安裝部330上。隨後將轉軸410設有卡位體416的一端依次穿過第一磁性體420的第一安裝孔424和第二磁性體430的第二安裝孔434,將卡固體440套設於轉軸410的卡位體416上環形卡槽4160內使第一磁性體420和第二磁性體430固定在轉軸 410的阻擋體414和卡位體416之間。然後將按鍵460固定於第一磁性體420上,將第二磁性體430容置於容置部230內並抵接於支撐部240。最後將第一殼體200和第二殼體300卡合即可組裝成電子設備100。此時,第二殼體300的抵壓部340抵壓按鍵裝置400的第一磁性體420可將按鍵裝置400更穩定地固定在容置部230內。 At the time of assembly, the circuit board 450 is first fixed to the mounting portion 330. Then, one end of the rotating shaft 410 is provided through the first mounting hole 424 of the first magnetic body 420 and the second mounting hole 434 of the second magnetic body 430, and the card solid 440 is sleeved on the card of the rotating shaft 410. The first magnetic body 420 and the second magnetic body 430 are fixed to the rotating shaft in the annular card slot 4160 of the body 416. Between the barrier 414 of the 410 and the card body 416. Then, the button 460 is fixed to the first magnetic body 420, and the second magnetic body 430 is received in the accommodating portion 230 and abuts against the support portion 240. Finally, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are engaged to be assembled into the electronic device 100. At this time, the pressing portion 340 of the second casing 300 presses the first magnetic body 420 of the button device 400 to fix the button device 400 more stably in the accommodating portion 230.
電子設備100組裝完成後,第一磁性體420與第二磁性體430的極性相反產生的吸引力使二者處於相互平行的狀態。按鍵裝置400的按鍵460穿過第一殼體200的第一側壁220上缺口222和第二殼體300的第一邊緣320上開口322形成的通孔暴露出來可供用戶操作。此時,若欲操作按鍵裝置400來實現輸入信號的目的,則只需施加外力按壓按鍵460的按壓部462使按鍵460帶動第一磁性體420以轉軸410的中心線為軸線相對第二磁性體430旋轉至第一磁性體420觸壓觸控開關452即可(如圖5所示)。在外力撤銷後,第一磁性體420和第二磁性體430相對的一面極性相反產生的吸引力使第一磁性體420帶動按鍵460旋轉使按鍵460自動重定,且在反復操作按鍵裝置400後第一磁性體420和第二磁性體430仍能正常工作,故可以提高按鍵裝置400及使用該按鍵裝置400的電子設備100的可靠性。 After the assembly of the electronic device 100 is completed, the attractive force generated by the opposite polarity of the first magnetic body 420 and the second magnetic body 430 causes the two to be in parallel with each other. The button 460 of the button device 400 is exposed through the notch 222 of the first side wall 220 of the first housing 200 and the through hole formed by the opening 322 of the first edge 320 of the second housing 300 for user operation. At this time, if the button device 400 is to be operated to realize the purpose of inputting the signal, the pressing portion 462 of the external force pressing button 460 is required to cause the button 460 to drive the first magnetic body 420 to the second magnetic body with the center line of the rotating shaft 410 as the axis. The 430 is rotated until the first magnetic body 420 touches the touch switch 452 (as shown in FIG. 5). After the external force is removed, the opposite polarity of the opposite sides of the first magnetic body 420 and the second magnetic body 430 causes the first magnetic body 420 to rotate the button 460 to automatically reset the button 460, and after repeatedly operating the button device 400 Since the magnetic body 420 and the second magnetic body 430 can still operate normally, the reliability of the button device 400 and the electronic device 100 using the button device 400 can be improved.
在其他實施方式中,固定電路板450的安裝部330也可以和容置部230同時設置於第一殼體200上。 In other embodiments, the mounting portion 330 of the fixed circuit board 450 can also be disposed on the first housing 200 simultaneously with the receiving portion 230.
綜上所述,儘管為說明目的已經公開了本發明的優選實施例,然而,本發明不只局限於如上所述的實施例,在 不超出本發明基本技術思想的範疇內,相關行業的技術人員可對其進行多種變形及應用。 In summary, although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, Without departing from the basic technical idea of the present invention, various modifications and applications can be made by those skilled in the relevant art.
