In one embodiment, a mobile power supply is provided, which can be used to charge an electronic device when the electronic device used by a user is low in power. In one embodiment, the mobile power supply includes a key assembly 10, and the key assembly 10 may be a power key or a key for other functions.

Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, in an embodiment, the key assembly 10 includes a housing 100 and a key 200, where the housing 100 is a housing 100 of a mobile power source, and the key 200 is mounted on the housing 100 to touch a component of the mobile power source. Specifically, the bottom wall 110 of the housing 100 and the side wall 120 extending from the edge of the bottom wall 110 form a receiving cavity 130, the mounting hole 121 is opened in the side wall 120 of the housing 100, the key 200 includes a main body 210 and a support arm 220 connected to the main body 210, the support arm 220 may be a member having certain elasticity, so that the support arm 220 may deform and have elastic restoring force, the main body 210 can penetrate into the mounting hole 121 from the inner side of the side wall 120 along the depth direction of the mounting hole 121, that is, the extension line in the depth direction is perpendicular to the side wall 120 of the housing 100, and the main body 210 is exposed on the housing 100. Wherein, the circumference size of main part 210 and the mutual adaptation in aperture of mounting hole 121 to make the main part 210 more firm with the assembly structure of shell 100, when the user pressed main part 210, because the clearance between main part 210 and the mounting hole 121 is less, can reduce the condition emergence that external dust got into in the shell 100, guarantee the sensitivity of shell 100 internals. Referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment, the housing 100 further includes a positioning column 140, the positioning column 140 is received in the receiving cavity 130, the supporting arm 220 is located on a side of the main body 210 facing the receiving cavity 130 and has a positioning hole 221, and the positioning column 140 is engaged with the positioning hole 221. When the main body 210 is mounted in the mounting hole 121, the positioning hole 221 of the supporting arm 220 and the positioning post 140 are engaged with each other, so that the key 200 can be limited on the housing 100 and is not easy to fall off.

In one embodiment, the supporting arm 220 can be elastically deformed to make the positioning post 140 fall out of the positioning hole 221, and the key 200 can be detached from the housing. Specifically, when the user needs to mount the key 200 to the mounting hole 121, the user can pinch a portion of the main body 210, align the main body 210 with the mounting hole 121, and push the main body 210 from the inner side of the sidewall 120 along the depth direction of the mounting hole 121, so that the main body 210 is substantially accommodated in the mounting hole 121, the main body 210 can be penetrated to drive the supporting arm 220 to elastically deform, and the portion of the supporting arm 220 away from the main body 210 abuts against the positioning post 140, when the user continues to push the main body 210, the supporting arm 220 can slide relative to the positioning post 140, so that the positioning post 140 is accommodated in the positioning hole 221, at this time, the user releases the finger, the supporting arm 220 loses the abutting force to recover the elastic deformation, and the main body 210 and the supporting arm 220 are respectively connected to the housing 100 relatively stably, so as to. Or, when the key 200 is damaged or the key 200 needs to be taken out of the housing 100, the user can push the supporting arm 220, the supporting arm 220 is elastically deformed due to the acting force, and the positioning hole 221 is disengaged from the positioning column 140, when the user releases his hand, the supporting arm 220 releases the elastic force to return to the natural state, and further the main body 210 is driven to disengage from the mounting hole 121, so as to separate the key 200.

In the installation process of the key assembly 10, a user pinches the edge of the main body 210, and the main body 210 penetrates into the installation hole 121 along the depth direction of the installation hole 121, at this time, the support arm 220 deforms and abuts against the positioning column 140, the user continues to press the main body 210, and the support arm 220 slides relative to the positioning column 140 so that the positioning column 140 is accommodated in the positioning hole 221, thereby implementing the installation of the key 200. When the key 200 needs to be removed from the mounting hole 121, the user pushes the supporting arm 220, the supporting arm 220 deforms and the positioning post 140 is separated from the positioning hole 221, and at this time, the supporting arm 220 returns to the natural state and drives the main body 210 to be separated from the housing 100. The key assembly 10 has a simple structure, and can be mounted on or separated from the housing 100, and the operation process is efficient.

Referring to fig. 3, 4 and 5, in an embodiment, a guide groove 223 is formed on a side of the support arm 220 facing the bottom wall 110, the guide groove 223 extends to an edge of the support arm 220 facing away from the main body 210, the positioning hole 221 is formed at a bottom of the guide groove 223, and during the process that the main body 210 penetrates into the mounting hole 121, the positioning column 140 can abut against the bottom of the guide groove 223 and slide into the positioning hole 221 relative to the bottom of the guide groove 223. Specifically, in the process that the user mounts the key 200 on the housing 100, the user pushes the main body 210 while the supporting arm 220 abuts against the positioning post 140 and deforms, and at this time, the positioning post 140 can abut against the bottom of the guiding groove 223, and when the supporting arm 220 continues to slide relative to the positioning post 140 due to external force, the positioning post 140 slides into the positioning hole 221 from the bottom of the guiding groove 223. It can be understood that the aperture of the positioning hole 221 is slightly larger than the circumferential diameter of the positioning column 140, so that the positioning column 140 and the positioning hole 221 can be more smoothly installed or separated. For example, when the user needs to mount the button 200 on the housing 100, the user presses the supporting arm 220 to deform the supporting arm 220, the supporting arm 220 slides relative to the positioning post 140, and when the supporting arm 220 slides until the opening of the positioning hole 221 coincides with the positioning post 140, the user does not need to apply a large force to the supporting arm 220, and the positioning post 140 can be easily accommodated in the positioning hole 221, so that the operation is easy. Or, when the user needs to separate the key 200 from the housing 100, since the positioning hole 221 and the positioning column 140 have a certain gap, when the user pushes the supporting arm 220 to separate the positioning column 140 from the positioning hole 221, the acting force does not need to be large, and the gap is set to make the separation of the key 200 easier and the operation is convenient.

It can be understood that the positioning hole 221 may penetrate through the support arm 220, that is, when the positioning pillar 140 penetrates through the positioning hole 221, the positioning pillar 140 may be exposed out of the support arm 220, so that the positioning pillar 140 and the positioning hole 221 are more firmly accommodated and are not easily detached. Alternatively, the positioning hole 221 may not penetrate through the support arm 220, i.e., when the positioning post 140 is received in the positioning hole 221, the positioning post 140 is not exposed from the other side of the support arm 220.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the bottom of the guide groove 223 has a guide surface 225, the guide surface 225 extends from the end of the arm 220 away from the main body 210 toward the main body 210, and the positioning post 140 can slide along the guide surface 225 into the guide groove 223. Specifically, the guiding surface 225 may be an inclined surface, and when the positioning post 140 slides from the edge of the support arm 220 along the guiding surface 225 to the bottom of the guiding groove 223, the guiding surface 225 may guide the positioning post 140 and buffer the positioning post 140 to prevent the positioning post 140 from being damaged.

Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, in an embodiment, the positioning pillar 140 includes a first inclined surface 141, the first inclined surface 141 is disposed opposite to the side wall 120, and the positioning pillar 140 can slide along the guiding groove 223 to abut against the wall of the positioning hole 221, so that the wall of the positioning hole 221 slides along the first inclined surface 141 until the positioning pillar 140 is received in the positioning hole 221. Specifically, in the process that the main body 210 penetrates into the mounting hole 121, the user aligns the main body 210 with the mounting hole 121 and presses the main body to cause the supporting arm 220 to be pressed and abut against the positioning column 140, the user continues to apply an acting force, the positioning column 140 slides into the guide groove 223 from the guide surface 225 of the guide groove 223, when the top end of the positioning column 140 slides to abut against the left hole wall of the positioning hole 221 (at this time, the left side or the right side of the positioning hole 221 is based on the orientation shown in fig. 5), the positioning column 140 stops sliding to the left, and the right hole wall of the positioning hole 221 can slide along the first side surface of the positioning column 140 to cause the positioning column 140 to slide into the positioning hole 221, and at this time, the key 200 completely penetrates through the mounting hole 121, thereby achieving.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in an embodiment, a side of the positioning hole 221 close to the bottom wall 110 has a second inclined surface 227, and the supporting arm 220 can be deformed to make the second inclined surface 227 slide out of the positioning hole 221 along the outer side of the positioning pillar 140. Specifically, in the process that the main body 210 is separated from the mounting hole 121, a user pushes one side of the supporting arm 220 facing away from the main body 210, one end of the supporting arm 220 facing away from the main body 210 is lifted and deformed, and meanwhile, the supporting arm 220 drives the second inclined surface 227 to slide upwards along the left side of the positioning column 140 (at this time, the upper, lower, left and right directions are based on the direction shown in fig. 5), so that the positioning column 140 is separated from the positioning hole 221, and the separation of the supporting arm 220 further drives the main body 210 to be separated from the mounting hole 121, thereby realizing the separation of the key 200.

It can be understood that the first inclined surface 141 and the second inclined surface 227 not only serve as a guide for the positioning post 140, but also serve as a buffer for reducing the impact force between the positioning post 140 and the supporting arm 220 during the sliding process of the positioning post 140.

In another embodiment, the size of the notch of the guiding groove 223 is larger than the diameter of the positioning hole 221, so that the first inclined surface 141 facilitates the sliding process between the positioning post 140 and the positioning hole 221 to be smoother. The second inclined plane 227, the second inclined plane 227 and the guide surface 225 are arranged in the installation process of the key 200, so that the key 200 can be installed or separated with a guide effect, a user can achieve a technical effect without applying a large acting force to the support arm 220, and the operation process is more efficient.

In conjunction with fig. 2, specifically, the circumferential direction of the pressing portion 211 and the shape of the mounting hole 121 are adapted to each other, so that the pressing portion 211 is slidably inserted into the mounting hole 121. The abutting portion 213 is substantially annular and connected to the edge of the pressing portion 211, and when the pressing portion 211 is mounted in the mounting hole 121, the abutting portion 213 can abut against the edge of the mounting hole 121, so as to prevent the main body 210 from coming out of the mounting hole 121, and the positioning hole 221 of the supporting arm 220 can accommodate the positioning post 140 therein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in an embodiment, the main body 210 further includes a connecting portion 215, and two ends of the connecting portion 215 are respectively connected to the pressing portion 211 and the abutting portion 213, so that a space 217 exists between the pressing portion 211 and the abutting portion 213. Specifically, the two connecting portions 215 may be substantially strip-shaped, and the two connecting portions 215 may also be disposed at an interval 217 and located on the same side of the pressing portion 211, so that the pressing portion 211, the connecting portions 215 and the abutting portion 213 enclose an empty slot. Referring to fig. 2, the material of the abutting portion 213 may also be an element with a certain elasticity, when the user presses the pressing portion 211, the abutting portion 213 may also deform, and the connection point of the connection portion 215 is used as a supporting point, an included angle is formed between the abutting portion 213 and the pressing portion 211, the supporting arm 220 abuts against the positioning column 140, if the user continues to press the pressing portion 211, the positioning column 140 is accommodated in the positioning hole 221, the abutting portion 213 releases the elastic restoring force, the included angle is reduced, and the abutting portion 213 abuts against the sidewall 120 of the housing 100, so that the assembly of the key 200 is firmer. It can be understood that the number of the connecting portions 215 is not limited to two, the number of the connecting portions 215 can be adjusted as required, and the arrangement of the plurality of connecting portions 215 makes the connection between the pressing portion 211 and the abutting portion 213 more stable, thereby ensuring the stability of the key 200.
