Abstract
An electronic device includes a casing, a PCB, a push-button switch assembly, and a protective member. The push-button switch includes a push-button disposed on the casing and a switch disposed on the PCB. When pressed, a main body of the push-button moves towards the PCB to actuate the switch. The protective member is disposed between the main body and the PCB for restricting further movement of the main body as the switch is actuated.
Claims17
An electronic device, comprising:
- a casing;
- a push-button switch assembly comprising a switch disposed in the casing and a push-button for actuating the switch;
- the push-button comprising a main body movably disposed on the casing, wherein when the main body is depressed, the main body moves towards the switch and depresses the switch to actuate the switch;
- and
- a protective structure for restricting further movement of the main body as the switch is actuated so as to protect the switch from damage caused by excessive force applied by the push-button.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a casing for accommodating a display panel;
- an electronic circuit board;
- a push-button switch assembly comprising a switch disposed on the electronic circuit board and a push-button corresponding to the switch, wherein when the push-button is depressed, the push-button depresses the switch, and the switch is deformed and actuated;
- at least one protective member corresponding to the electronic circuit board for preventing the deformation of the switch from exceeding a critical point so as to protect the switch from damage.
A push-button switch assembly, comprising:
- a push-button for being pressed;
- a switch disposed on a printed circuit board of an electronic device;
- the push-button comprising a main body being capable of moving towards the printed circuit board to contact the switch under a pressing force applied thereto;
- at least one elastic member for restoring the main body;
- a protective member being disposed on the main body for engaging with the printed circuit board to restrict further movement of the main body towards the printed circuit board as the switch is actuated by the main body so as to protect the switch from damage caused by excessive force applied by the push-button.
