The functions of the micro switch 400 and the knob module 600 may be set as desired so that the input device may implement various suitable functions. The input device is used according to the principle that a user can hold the panel 100 by hand and apply a force (i.e. a flat pushing force) for sliding the panel 100 in an XY plane, the flat pushing force is sequentially transmitted to the pressing bracket 200 and the bulb bracket 300 by the panel 100, the bulb bracket 300, the pressing bracket 200 and the panel 100 slide together in the XY plane, the sliding of the bulb bracket 300 can rotate the thimble 610, the rotation of the thimble 610 can provide an operation feel for the user on one hand and trigger a corresponding function on the other hand, the user can also press the panel 100 downwards, the pressing force is transmitted to the pressing bracket 200 through the panel 100 and drives the pressing bracket 200 to move in a pressing direction relative to the bulb bracket 300, so as to trigger the micro switch 400, and the micro switch 400 can provide the operation feel for the user on the one hand and trigger the corresponding function on the other hand.

In some embodiments, a sliding groove 310 may be provided on the bulb holder 300, a first sliding block 320 is provided in the sliding groove 310, and the first sliding block 320 may slide in the sliding groove 310, for example, the sliding groove 310 may extend along the Z direction, the first sliding block 320 may slide along the Z direction in the sliding groove 310, and two ends of the first sliding block 320 are respectively abutted with the panel 100 (or the pressing holder 200) and the micro switch 400, that is, the first sliding block 320 is sandwiched between the micro switch 400 and the panel 100 (or the pressing holder 200), so that when the panel 100 is pressed, the panel 100 and the pressing holder 200 may rotate relative to the bulb holder 300, and the rotation of the panel 100 and the pressing holder 200 may drive the first sliding block 320 to slide in the sliding groove 310, that is, move along the Z direction toward the micro switch 400, thereby triggering the micro switch 400 and triggering the corresponding functions. That is, the movement of the first slider 320 may be guided by the sliding groove 310, so that the rotation of the panel 100 and the pressing bracket 200 with respect to the bulb bracket 300 may be converted into the linear movement of the first slider 320, which is more advantageous for the position arrangement of the micro switch 400 and the arrangement of the overall internal structure. The micro switch 400 may provide an elastic force to the first slider 320, which moves the first slider 320 in a direction away from the micro switch 400, and when the pressure applied to the panel 100 is removed, the first slider 320 moves reversely and returns the panel 100 and the pressing bracket 200 to the original position by the elastic force.

The protrusion 110 may be away from the end where the pressing bracket 200 and the bulb holder 300 are connected, thereby making the movement distance of the pressing bracket 200 greater when pressing. For example, the position of the protrusion 110 is located below the arrow in fig. 3, and the user can trigger the micro switch 400 by pressing the position.

In some embodiments, the pressing bracket 200 may be additionally snap-coupled with the ball-knot bracket 300 to apply a pre-pressing force to the micro-switch 400 in the Z direction, thereby achieving pre-pressing of the micro-switch 400.

As shown in fig. 5, the first slider 320 may be provided with a hard limiting structure 321, and when the first slider 320 moves downward to a preset position, the hard limiting structure 321 will abut against the top surface of the bulb support 300 and interfere with each other, so that the first slider 320 cannot move downward any more. Therefore, the hard limiting structure 321 defines the farthest position where the first slider 320 moves, that is, the farthest position where the panel 100 and the pressing bracket 200 move, so that when the pressing force is too large, the first slider 320 stops moving after moving to the farthest position, and the first slider 320 will not press the micro switch 400 any more, and the pressing force will not be continuously transmitted to the micro switch 400, so that the micro switch 400 can be protected from being damaged.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, at least one second slider 330 may be provided between the bulb holder 300 and the support plate 700, and the bulb holder 300 is slidably coupled to the support plate 700 through the second slider 330.

For example, four legs 340 may be provided on the bulb holder 300, and correspondingly, four second sliders 330 may be provided, and the four second sliders 330 may be respectively fixed to the four legs 340 and then slid onto the support plate 700. The second slider 330 is prevented from interfering with other components by the legs 340 so that it can be smoothly mounted on the bulb holder 300. The sliding of the bulb holder 300 can be made smoother by the plurality of second sliders 330.

As shown in FIG. 7, when panel 100 receives a flat pushing force, such as a right flat pushing force indicated by an arrow in FIG. 7, panel 100, pressing bracket 200 and bulb bracket 300 all move to the right, and bulb bracket 300 will move thimble 610 to the right to trigger bulb module 600 and trigger the corresponding function, and when the flat pushing force disappears, thimble 610 will rebound to the original position (i.e. the initial position), and the movement of thimble 610 will return bulb bracket 300, pressing bracket 200 and panel 100 to the original position.

In some embodiments, the second slider 330 and the base 500 may be provided with a plurality of mutually matched hard stop structures, and when the second slider 330 slides on the support plate 700 to a preset position (or a plurality of hard stop structures), the second slider 330 and the hard stop structures of the support plate 700 interfere with each other to prevent the second slider 330 from moving continuously, thereby limiting the movement range of the second slider 330, that is, the sliding range of the panel 100, the pressing bracket 200 and the bulb bracket 300 relative to the base 500 in the XY plane and the movement range of the thimble 610 of the bulb module 600, so as to ensure that the bulb module 600 is not damaged when the panel 100 is subjected to a abusive force.
