View Patent ↗A waterproof button module includes a casing, a button, a resilient member, and a first waterproof portion. The casing has a first recess and a first through hole located at a bottom of the first recess. The button is located in the first recess and partially passes through the first through hole. The resilient member is located in the first recess. The button and the bottom of the first recess are respectively located on opposite sides of the resilient member. The first waterproof portion surrounds the first through hole and abuts against the resilient member and the first recess in an airtight manner.
1. A waterproof button module, comprising:
a casing having a first recess and a first through hole located at a bottom of the first recess;
a button in the first recess and partially passing through the first through hole, the button comprising a body and a pressing portion extending from a bottom surface of the body;
a resilient member in the first recess, wherein the button and the bottom of the first recess are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the resilient member, and the resilient member comprises:
a first portion below the bottom surface of the body;
a second portion connected to the first portion, extending through the first through hole, and having a hollow that accommodates the pressing portion; and
a support portion connected to a top surface of the first portion, abutting against the bottom surface of the body, and surrounding the second portion; and
a first waterproof portion surrounding the first through hole and abutting against the resilient member and the first recess in an airtight manner.
2. The waterproof button module of claim 1 , wherein the button further comprises an enforcement rib connected between the bottom surface of the body and the pressing portion.
3. The waterproof button module of claim 1 , wherein the support portion and the first waterproof portion are located on opposite sides of the first portion respectively and aligned with each other.
