Abstract
A waterproof button structure includes a housing, a cover plate, and a waterproof partition. The housing includes a button switch. The cover plate covers the button switch. The cover plate includes a pressable button. The button switch is in one-to-one correspondence with the button. The waterproof partition is located between the housing and the cover plate. A waterproof film of the waterproof partition is adjacent to the cover plate. A waterproof foam of the waterproof partition is adjacent to the housing. When the button is pressed, the button is abutted by the waterproof film, and the button switch is activated.
Claims13
