The elastic arm 233 is a long strip having a "V" shape in cross section, and is fixed to a middle portion of the surface of the fixing plate 232. One end of the elastic arm 233 away from the fixing plate 232 is an elastic end 234. The elastic end 234 is opposite to the side 213 of the button 21.

該蓋體30為滑蓋式行動電話之滑動蓋，其尺寸與該安裝部15之主板體151尺寸相當。該蓋體30包括一面板31和與該端部153相抵之底部32。該面板31上設有操作鍵區311和顯示幕312。當該蓋體30背向該端壁13方向滑動時，按鍵結構20被露出以便使用者操作。該蓋體30朝向該端壁13方向滑動至完全疊設於本體10上時，蓋體30蓋設於按鍵結構20上，以對按鍵結構20實現保護及減小該滑蓋式行動電話之長度。The cover 30 is a slide cover of a slide type mobile phone, and has a size comparable to that of the main body 151 of the mounting portion 15. The cover 30 includes a panel 31 and a bottom portion 32 that abuts the end 153. The panel 31 is provided with an operation keypad 311 and a display screen 312. When the cover 30 slides away from the end wall 13, the button structure 20 is exposed for the user to operate. When the cover 30 slides toward the end wall 13 to be completely stacked on the body 10, the cover 30 is covered on the button structure 20 to protect the button structure 20 and reduce the length of the slide type mobile phone. .

請一併參閱圖3與圖4，組裝時，先將每一彈性部23之固定板232分別固定於該安裝槽152之第一槽側壁1522上，使該彈性端234與該第二槽側壁1523相對。將觸控板22分別裝設於該按鍵21之容置槽214內。再將該按鍵裝設於該安裝槽152內，該彈性端234與該側面213固接以使該按鍵21固接於該安裝槽152內。該背面211可沿該槽底壁1521相對第一槽側壁1522滑動。該彈性體231用以提供足夠之彈力給按鍵體21。此時，該觸控面210向蓋體30滑開之方向呈一定傾斜角度且靠近該側面213之一端凸出於上表面1511。Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together, the fixing plate 232 of each elastic portion 23 is respectively fixed to the first groove side wall 1522 of the mounting groove 152, so that the elastic end 234 and the second groove side wall are respectively assembled. 1523 relative. The touch panels 22 are respectively disposed in the receiving slots 214 of the buttons 21 . The button is mounted in the mounting slot 152, and the elastic end 234 is fixed to the side surface 213 to fix the button 21 in the mounting slot 152. The back surface 211 is slidable along the groove bottom wall 1521 with respect to the first groove side wall 1522. The elastic body 231 is used to provide sufficient elastic force to the button body 21. At this time, the touch surface 210 is inclined at a certain angle to the direction in which the cover 30 slides, and protrudes from the one end of the side surface 213 from the upper surface 1511.

再次，將裝有按鍵21之安裝部15蓋設於該本體10上，使端部153與該端壁13相抵。最後將該蓋體30向閉合方向滑動裝配於該本體10上，此時，該蓋體30之底部32推動按鍵21之觸控面210凸出上表面1511之一端，從而使該按鍵21壓縮彈性臂233產生彈性形變並沿槽底壁1521向第一槽側壁1522滑動，進而使該按鍵21收容於安裝槽152內。此時，該蓋體30與該本體10閉合，按鍵21處於已鎖狀態。Again, the mounting portion 15 on which the button 21 is mounted is placed over the body 10 such that the end portion 153 abuts the end wall 13. Finally, the cover body 30 is slidably mounted on the main body 10 in the closing direction. At this time, the bottom surface 32 of the cover body 30 pushes the touch surface 210 of the button 21 to protrude from one end of the upper surface 1511, thereby compressing the button 21 to be elastic. The arm 233 is elastically deformed and slides along the bottom wall 1521 of the groove toward the first groove side wall 1522, so that the button 21 is received in the mounting groove 152. At this time, the cover 30 and the body 10 are closed, and the button 21 is in a locked state.

請一併參閱圖5，當使用按鍵20時，滑開該蓋體30遠離按鍵21，此時，該彈性臂233由於彈性勢能恢復原狀，將該按鍵體21沿槽底壁1521彈出，使觸控面2103靠近該側面213之一端凸出於上表面1511，該按鍵21露出該上表面1511且呈一定傾斜角度，操作者可以進行使用。Referring to FIG. 5, when the button 20 is used, the cover 30 is slid away from the button 21. At this time, the elastic arm 233 is restored to the original state due to the elastic potential, and the button body 21 is ejected along the bottom wall 1521 of the slot to make a touch. The control surface 2103 protrudes from the one end of the side surface 213 from the upper surface 1511. The button 21 exposes the upper surface 1511 at an oblique angle and can be used by an operator.

所述滑蓋式行動電話之按鍵21藉由彈性臂233固定於本體10上，並彈性抵持，從而可彈性收容於本體10內，當蓋體30與本體10滑動閉合時，蓋體30推動按鍵21可收容於本體10內，使用時藉由該彈性臂233彈出本體10並呈一定傾斜角，該按鍵結構20使使用者有較舒適之操作感，且於使用觸摸功能時準確操作，亦不影響電子裝置之厚度。The button 21 of the slide-type mobile phone is fixed on the body 10 by the elastic arm 233 and elastically resists, so as to be elastically received in the body 10. When the cover 30 and the body 10 are slidably closed, the cover 30 is pushed. The button 21 can be received in the main body 10. When the elastic arm 233 is used to eject the body 10 and has a certain inclination angle, the button structure 20 provides a user with a comfortable operating feeling and operates accurately when using the touch function. Does not affect the thickness of the electronic device.
