The actuating mechanism provided by the present invention is used for actuating a capacitive touch screen of the digital products installed in a waterproof case, comprising an actuating assembly provided on the waterproof case; a probe connected to one end of the actuating assembly; a conductive connecting device provided on the waterproof case, and the probe is brought into contact with the conductive connecting device by the actuating assembly; and a trigger assembly provided on the capacitive touch screen and brought into contact with the touch screen, wherein the trigger assembly is connected with the conductive connecting device and is moved up and down by the actuating assembly, so that the probe and the conductive connecting device are brought into contact to complete the charge conduction. The actuating mechanism of the present invention can improve the drawbacks of the prior art, operating on any area of the touch screen at any position of the waterproof case, thereby operating the digital products. At the same time, it is possible to prevent the actuating mechanism on the waterproof case from blocking the graphic characters displayed on the touch screen. In addition, the trigger assembly is in continuous contact with the capacitive touch screen, with constant pressure, good conduction and stable work. The present invention also discloses a waterproof case based on the actuating mechanism.
