1222593 玖、發明說明（1 ) 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明是有關於一種鍵盤，特別是指一種供按壓後對 應地產生不同電子訊號輸出之鍵盤。 【先前技術】 5 如第一圖所示，是應用於一般桌上型電腦設備，而用 以供使用者按壓以輸入不同文數字等等電子訊號輸出之鍵 盤的基本結構。 依照一般鍵盤的組裝，由上而下依序地包含有複數鍵 帽（keycap)51、複數定位單元（holding mechanism)52、一 10 框體（frame)53、一 上壓板（top holding plate)54、一上蓋 (upper enclosure)55、複數致動單元（key actuating mechanism)56、一電路單元（electrical circuitry)57、一下 壓板（bottom holding plate)58 ，及一下蓋（bottom enclosure)59 o 15 各鍵帽51上方形成有一平面，用以供字母、數字或 是控制鍵等代表符號印刷，另外亦可利用貼標籤的方式將 字母、數字或是控制鍵等代表符號貼附於該平面上。而不 管是印刷或是貼標籤的方式，目的在於讓使用者打字輸入 時易於辨識。此外，鍵帽51下方可形成一向下凸出之頸 20 部 511。 各定位單元52如一煙国狀之孔，用以對應地供各鍵 帽51之頸部511容置，可固定鍵帽51的位置並導引其上 下移動的方向。 框體53則是結合該等定位單元52以固定其相對位置 4 玖、發明說明（2 ) ，以現今的製程來說，框體53、定位單元η*上蓋μ 大部份皆以一體成形的方式製作。 上壓板54是-選擇性的組件，可提供一定的剛性， 用以壓住及定位下方的構件。 致動單元56是對應地位於各鍵帽51下方，用以支撐 鍵帽51並提供其反彈和回到原位的能力。而就現今市場 上的電腦鍵盤而言，致執盟^ 蚁動早兀56的設計可具有相當多種 不同的機構’圖中所示為放置於對應鍵帽51 了方之一碗 10 狀型的橡膠材料構成之致動單元56，形成所謂的單圓頂 橡膠/片（mbber dome/sheet)的構造。另如第二圖所示，致 動單元56為一種剪刀式開關（scissor switch)的設計，可像 剪刀-般使用相交的平衡桿、配合下方橡膠片來提供鍵帽 ^反彈和回到原位的作用。此外，圖中並未表示之致動 單元56尚有單純利用位於鍵帽51下方之螺旋彈簧 15 spring)、彈性鐵片、甚至是橡膠或塑膠製成而内部具有封 閉式空氣泡的按紐等等設計。更有些舊式的機種是使螺旋 彈簧與鍵帽51事先形成一體的結構。 20 電路單元57為一軟性的印刷電路薄模版（circuitry membrane)或是印刷電路板（pCB)，其上設計有對應各鍵帽 51的電路接點，當鍵帽51被按下時可觸發對應接點以產 生電子甙號，並將此一訊號傳送至電腦。 下壓板58亦為一選擇性的組件，其作用亦是提供一 定的剛性以壓住及定位上述的構件。 而整個鍵盤再利用上蓋55與下蓋59的結合將所有組 5 1222593 玖、發明說明（3 ) 件固定為一H，僅使該等鍵巾冒5ι 露於外以供使用者按 壓。而應用於筆記型電腦時，鍵盤之主要結構大致類似， 惟筆記型電腦之鍵盤是内建於系統内，故沒有上蓋55與 下蓋59的構造。 5 然而，依照目前習知鍵盤的結構以及組裝方式而言， 其往往是將所有組件結合成單一結構，並使其成為完整組 哀好的包裝’可與電腦系統一起售出。當應用在桌上型電 細日守’整個鍵盤是一獨立的裝置，而應用在筆記型電腦時 更疋與整個系統結合成一體，因此在設計上是不容許使用 10者自行將鍵盤拆開的，且為了防止使用者自行拆開而造成 人為的知壞’大部份的鍵盤皆採取有限期及有條件的產品 保固，通常是在鍵盤的組裝螺絲貼上一些警告貼紙，來警 告使用者如果因自行拆卸而破壞或撕掉這些警告貼紙將會 使鍵盤的產品保固失效。 由此可知，基於長久以來鍵盤的一體結構設計以及組 裝方式，對於使用者消費行為以及整個鍵盤產業而言具有 許多的影響。以今天的科技來說，大部分的鍵盤雖然具有 非常高的品質和耐用性，但是在曰常使用當中，環境的因 素往往不可預測，鍵盤被手上的油質、水或飲料，甚至空 氣中的灰塵與微粒等污染，皆可能造成鍵盤在使用上的不 良。ω丑二ΙΙΙΜΑΛΙ-的I部511一與定位單元.51之煙 5 1難以抛壓’或按壓後無法彈回原位，形成操作上不 良的現象。而現有的設計並無法讓使用者簡單地來清除這 6 1222593 玖、發明說明（4 ) 些物質，故不可避免地將會影響到鍵盤的機械功能。又由 於鍵盤有條件的產品保固制度，使用者為了避免仍在保固 期限内的產品因自行拆卸而造成保固失效，唯一的選擇即 是將鍵盤退回廠商維修或更換另一個新的鍵盤，而通常鍵 5盤廠商不會把鍵盤回收計算在成本之内，故更換一個新的 鍵盤給客戶的成本總是比鍵盤退回進行維修還便宜。因此 ，每年有千百萬個鍵盤被丟棄在保存箱，倉庫和垃圾場， 造成數百萬、甚至數千萬美金成本的浪費，且廢棄鍵盤内 的電子元件亦可此對環境構成環保上的危害，但並沒有人 10 思考如何回收這些鍵盤和提出更具環保的方式來解決這些 問題。 【發明内容】 r 因此，本發明之主要目的在於，提供一種可部份替換 的模組化鍵盤之組立方法以及其鍵盤製品，藉此大量減少 15 I尚在保固期間内之鍵盤產品因小瑕疵而被退回更換或維修 所產生之成本。 本發明之再一目的在於，提供一種生產者較為環保之 鍵盤的生產方式及結構。 本發明之另一目的在於，藉由鍵盤字鍵構成一可替換 20 模組的設計，使得鍵盤在不同語言、不同輸入方式等之應 用性更趨多樣化。 本發明之另一目的在於，藉由鍵盤可簡易拆換、交換 及對換之模組化設計，達到使用者即可自行維修組裝的目 的。 7 1222593 玖、發明說明（5 ) 於是’本發明鍵盤的組立方法主要在於，將鍵盤所包 含之鍵帽、定位單元、框體、致動單元，以及電路單元等 兀件選擇性地相互組合，以構成可簡易拆組之一上組裝模 組及一下組裝模組，使上組裝模組是可替換地自下組裝模 5 組分離。 而依妝此一組立方法所形成 組裝模組、一下組裝模組及一提供上組裝模組及下組裝模 組簡易拆組功能之結合裝置。其中·· 上組裝模組包括有複數鍵帽、複數分別對應鍵帽之定 10 15 20 位單凡、一固定該等定位單元之框Μ。下組裝才荑組則包括 一電路單元。而複數支撐鍵帽並用以觸發電路單元之致動 早7L則可選擇性地設置在上組裝模組或是下組裝模組内。 【實施方式】 本發明之前述以及其他技術内容、特點與功效，在以 下配合參考圖式之數個較佳實施例的詳細說明中，將可清 楚的明白。 本發明之鍵盤組立方法源於一簡單的概念，即打破傳 統鍵盤完整而一體的組合方式，而將鍵盤基本的零組件區 分為兩個模組，即上組裝模組及下組裝模組，使得上組裝 模組及下組裝模以可以供使用者簡易地進行拆組作業。、 就本例使用上而言’上組裝模組是-可拆換的模組 (職_ble module)，而下組裝模組則相對地為不可拆換 的，或是稱之為基礎模組（basemodule)。 如第三圖及第四圖，根據此一鍵盤組立的方法，本發 8 1222593 玫、發明說明（6 ) 明鍵盤的第-較佳實施例以桌上型電腦所使用之鍵盤結構 作為況明，其基本零組件大致與習知相似，包含複數鍵帽 11複數分別對應鍵帽11之定位單元12、一固定該等定 單元12之框體13、複數分別對應地支撐鍵帽11之致 5 動單元14,以及一供該等致動單元14觸發以產生對應訊 遽之電路單元15，使鍵帽11、定位單元12、框體13共 同構成一上組裝模組2，而電路單元15及致動單元14則 共同構成一下組裝模組3，本例中，上組裝模組2更包括 一上蓋16，而下組裝模組則更包括一與上蓋16對合之下 10 盍I?，且在致動單元14之上方與下方可進一步分別結合 一上蓋板18與一下蓋板19，如習知構造，上蓋板18與 下蓋板19亦為選擇性的組件。 如此，藉由一結合裝置（容後敘述），使得上組裝模 組2與下組裝模組3可簡單地進行組裝或分離的作業。 15 參考第五圖及第六圖，是本發明的第二較佳實施例， 與前述第一較佳實施例不同處在於，上蓋16改歸屬於下 組裝模組3，而上組裝模組2則僅包括鍵帽u、定位單元 12及框體13。相同地，上組裝模組2與下組裝模組3仍 可藉由一結合裝置簡單地進行組裝或分離的作業。 20 再如第七圖至第十圖所示，以第二較佳實施例來進一 步說明，上組裝模組2因包含有複數鍵帽u，因此可依 照鍵帽11的功能區分為複數個次模組21。第七圖所示之 上組裝模組2可依照主要字母鍵、控制鍵、功能鍵等區分 方式而由三片式的次模組21所組成。而第八圖所示之上 9 坎、發明說明（7 ) 組裝模組2則更！隹_丰。，v上、丄 成，々 v、、、田刀成由六片式的次模組21所組 第九圖所不之上組裝模組2更將主要字母鍵的部份 :區分為二、而形成七片式的次模組Η之組成狀態。另 如第十圖’是延伸自第九圖七片式次模組21的設計方 ，，可應用於所謂之人體工學式的鍵盤上。 又如第十-圖所示’上組裝模組2亦可採用摺疊的方 連接複數個次模組21，使得在收藏與攜帶上增加其便 利性。 1〇 ▲ |照第十二圖所示，是本發明的第三較佳實施例，與 讀=一較佳實施例的差別在於，致動單元14是與鍵帽 11、疋位早7012、框體13、上蓋16共同構成上組裝模組 2，而下組裝模組3則僅包括電路單元15及下蓋17，其 中，選擇性的上蓋板18與下蓋板19可分別位於上組裝模 組2及下組裝模組3内。 15 * #如第十三圖所$，是本發明之第四較佳實施例，與 第三較佳實施例之不同處在於，上蓋16亦可歸屬於下組 裝模組3，其餘結構則相同，於此即不再一一說明。 為了達到上組裝模組2以及下組裝模組3可簡易地進 行拆組的作業，於上組裝模組2與下組裝模組3間設有結 2〇 合裝置4，以下即具體舉出數種可行之結合裝置4，但實 際上並不以此為限。 如第十四圖及第十五圖，以第二較佳實施例作為說明 ，上組裝模組2是利用一結合裝置4與下組裝模組3組合 ，而結合裝置4具有複數螺絲41，使該等螺絲41可由上 10 玖、發明說明（8 ) 往下穿過上組裝模組2之適當位置後以螺鎖方式鎖合於下 組裝核組3相對位置處（第十四圖所示），或使該等螺絲 可由下往上穿過下組裝模組3之適當位置後以螺鎖方 式鎖合於上組裝模組2相對位置處（第十五圖所示 藉由鬆開該等螺絲41即可使上組裝模組2自下組裝模組 3分離。 如第十六圖及第十七圖，表示另一種結合裝置4的型 態，其具有一連設於上組裝模組2之框體13外側邊緣下 方處，向上彎曲之凸片42，及—對應設於下組裝模组3 之上蓋16内側緣面處而用以供凸片42扣合之凹槽€， 凸片42朝外側處形成一水平方向延伸之凸肋似，去上 二裝模組2與下組裝模組3接合時，凸片42可略為；性 ㈣而使凸肋421進人凹槽43内以形成干較位作用。 错由撥動凸片42反向彈性變形，使凸肋421與凹槽43相 互脫離，即可解除扣合狀態而使上組裝模組2自下組裝模 組3分離。應用時，可在上組裝模組2與下組裝模組3相 對的四周同時使用四個結合裝置4。 第十八圖所示，是以第一較佳實施例來說明另一 = 44-凹槽45之結合褒置4,凸片Μ是由位於上組 、吴、’且2之上i 16接近邊緣處向下延伸，並略為外張， 而在下組裝彳歧3對應位置處則設有凹槽45，利用凸片 :彈：變形地進入對應凹槽45内以形成上組裝模組2與 下f 3之卡合作用，而在施加—定力量克 -與凹槽…固力後，使得凸片44彈性變 1222593 玖、發明說明（9 ) 凹槽45，即可使上組裝模組2與下組裝模組3分離。 又如第十九圖所示，提供另一種結合裝置4的設計， 其具有設置於上組裝模組2之框體13邊緣處之一活動栓 461與一凸緣462，而於下組裝模組3之上蓋16内緣處則 5對應設有供活動栓461卡入之一凹孔463與用以供凸緣 462嵌接之一凹槽464，而上組裝模組2可由側方向水平 地接近下組裝模組3，使凸緣462礙入凹槽464，直到活 動栓461到達凹孔463處、使活動栓461彈性地進入凹孔 463内後，可形成閂鎖/插銷的定位效果，反之，只要解 1〇除活動栓461與凹孔463的卡合，即可反向水平地滑動使 凸緣462與凹464槽相互脫離，如此可使上組裝模組2自 下組裝模組3分離。 再以第二十圖說明另一種結合裝置4，其具有一設置 於上組裝模組2的框體13邊緣向外延伸之凸片471，及 15對應設於下組裝模組3之上蓋16内緣對應位置處之一容 納凸片471的容置槽472與一用以阻播凸片471自容置槽 472内脫出之可滑動鎖銷473，當凸片47丨進入容置槽 472後可構成卡合作用，而水平滑動之鎖銷4乃則可彈性 地位於凸片471上方以阻擋凸片471脫離容置槽472，因 2〇 此形成疋位的效果，解除時，僅需將鎖銷473水平地撥動 以使谷置槽472形成開放狀態，即可使凸片47丨自容置槽 472内移出，進而使上組裝模組2自下組裝模組3分離。 如第一 圖，亦表示另一種結合裝置4，其具有一 。又置於上組裝模組2之框體π下方邊緣處呈l形之鉤片 12 1222593 玖、發明說明（10 ) 48卜及-對應設於下組裝模組3之上蓋16處用以供釣片 481鉤扣之L形凹槽482，組合時，使上組裝模組2之釣 片481對合進入凹槽482

一、節省維修或換貨的費用：由於鍵盤使用上所產生 之不良現象往往是導因於使用者可自行排除的一些因素， 例如I人料、灰塵、辦污所導致之機械性的不良現象，藉由 15本發明上組裝模組2及下組裝模組3可拆離的設計，使用 者即可自行清潔或故障排除。又，因鍵盤最容易故障的部 知一般集中於按鍵的結構，而本發明將按鍵的結構設計在 可拆卸的上組裝模組2内，若有按鍵結構嚴重損壞而不堪 使用時，使用者亦僅需將上組裝模組2更新即可，而不必 〇 ^換整個鍵盤，且這些維修作業皆可由使用者自行處理即 可凡成，對於生產者而言將因此節省大量維修及換貨的成 本對於整個鍵盤產業而言，所節省之維修及換貨的成本 粗估可達上百萬美金。 一、大幅節省退貨的成本··在筆記型電腦上的產業中 13 1222593 玖、發明說明（11 ) ，有相當大量的產品被退回是因為鍵盤上的小瑕疫所造成 。因此當本發明應用在筆記型電腦上時，這些鍵盤上的小 瑕疫可因為上組裝模組2可替換的設計而得到解決，且可 以很簡單地由使用者自行更換。如此，可節省筆記型電腦 5每年因為退貨所產生之千百萬美金以上的成本。 三、減少對環境的影響：因為本發明的設計可大量降 低鍵盤因為小故障即被丟棄的現象，因此將大幅降低廢棄 鍵盤的數量，減少其中電子零件對環境的影響，具有環保 的作用。 1〇 ㈤、簡化生產作業：因本發明上組«組2主要以按 鍵的結構為主且為可簡易替換的設計，藉由此一特性，對 於不同語言、不同字鍵排列方式之鍵盤而言，具有相當大 f方便性。例如第二十二圖及第二十三圖，分別表示一柯 蒂式（Qwerty)鍵盤及一德佛亞克式（Dv〇rak)的鍵盤等字鍵 15排列方式不同的鍵盤，而以往此種狀況必須分別生產兩種 完全不同的鍵盤，但以本發明而言，下組裝模組3可以是 相同的，而僅需在上組裝模組i之鍵帽U上標示排列上 加以反化即可。另外’不同語言的鍵盤亦可僅生產不同的 上«模組2即可’下組裝模組3則是完全相同，如此將 2〇可簡化鍵盤的生產程序，同時亦不必儲存大量不同種類的 鍵盤，僅需備有足夠之上組裝模組2來替換即可達到目的 ’故總庫存量亦可降低。 ★五、應用性多樣化··有時為了衛生安全的理由，如醫 院等場合，人手經常接觸之鍵盤可能沾染細菌而需要消毒 14 1222593 玖、發明說明（12 ) μ用本么明時，僅需將經常接觸人手之上組裝模組2單 獨拆卸進仃/肖毒或加以替換即可，而不必更換整個鍵盤。 此外，對於如模擬飛行等必須使用到大量不同功能鍵之電 腦遊戲等特殊的應用時，可將功能鍵的標示直接印刷於上 5、、’m组2的鍵帽u上，而在進行遊戲前，以印製有功 能鍵的上組裝模組2與標準字鍵排列的上組裝模組2替換 即可:¾加遊戲時的方便性，而不必如以往需強記各種功 能鍵的組合。 惟以上所述者，僅為本發明之較佳實施例而已，當不 1〇能以此限定本發明實施之範圍，即大凡依本發明申請專利 範圍及發明說明書内容所作之簡單的等效變化與修飾，皆 應仍屬本發明專利涵蓋之範圍内。 【圖式簡單說明】 第一圖是一般鍵盤之主要零組件分解示意圖； 15 第二圖是一般應用於鍵盤之一鍵帽致動單元示意圖；

belongs] The present invention relates to a keyboard, and more particularly to a keyboard for generating different electronic signal outputs correspondingly after pressing. [Prior art] 5 As shown in the first figure, it is the basic structure of a keyboard that is applied to general desktop computer equipment and used by the user to input electronic signals such as different numbers and numbers. According to the assembly of a general keyboard, a plurality of keycaps 51, a plurality of holding mechanisms 52, a 10 frame 53, and a top holding plate 54 are sequentially included from top to bottom. , An upper enclosure 55, a plurality of key actuating mechanisms 56, an electrical circuit 57, a bottom holding plate 58, and a bottom enclosure 59 o 15 A plane is formed above the cap 51 for printing representative symbols such as letters, numbers, or control keys. In addition, a representative manner such as letters, numbers, or control keys can be attached to the plane by means of labeling. Regardless of whether it is printed or labelled, the goal is to make it easier for users to recognize when typing. In addition, a neck portion 511 protruding downward can be formed under the keycap 51. Each positioning unit 52 is a smoke-like hole for correspondingly accommodating the neck 511 of each keycap 51, and can fix the position of the keycap 51 and guide the direction of its upward and downward movement. The frame 53 is combined with the positioning units 52 to fix their relative positions. 4 玖 Description of the invention (2). According to the current manufacturing process, most of the frame 53 and the positioning unit η * upper cover μ are integrally formed. Way to make. The upper pressing plate 54 is an optional component, which can provide a certain rigidity for pressing and positioning the lower component. The actuating unit 56 is correspondingly located below each keycap 51, and is used to support the keycap 51 and provide its ability to rebound and return to its original position. As far as computer keyboards on the market are concerned, the design of Zhimeng ^ 56 can have a lot of different mechanisms. The picture shows a bowl of 10-shaped type placed on the corresponding keycap 51. The actuating unit 56 made of a rubber material forms a so-called single-dome rubber / sheet structure. As shown in the second figure, the actuating unit 56 is a scissor switch design. It can use an intersecting balance bar like a scissors-type, and cooperate with the rubber sheet below to provide the keycap ^ rebound and return to the original position. Role. In addition, the actuating unit 56 (not shown in the figure) has a button (such as a coil spring 15 spring located below the keycap 51), an elastic iron piece, or even a rubber or plastic button with closed air bubbles inside. And other designs. Some older models have a structure in which the coil spring and the keycap 51 are integrated in advance. 20 The circuit unit 57 is a flexible printed circuit board (pCB) or a printed circuit board (pCB). The circuit contacts corresponding to the keycaps 51 are designed to trigger the corresponding operations when the keycap 51 is pressed. Contact to generate an electronic glycoside signal and send this signal to the computer. The lower pressing plate 58 is also an optional component, and its function is to provide a certain rigidity to press and position the above-mentioned components. The entire keyboard reuses the combination of the upper cover 55 and the lower cover 59 to fix all the groups 5 1222593 玖, the invention description (3) pieces to an H, and only exposes these keypads to 5 metre for the user to press. When applied to a notebook computer, the main structure of the keyboard is similar, but the keyboard of the notebook computer is built into the system, so there is no structure of the upper cover 55 and the lower cover 59. 5 However, according to the current structure and assembly method of the conventional keyboard, it is often a combination of all components into a single structure and make it a complete set. The package can be sold with a computer system. When applied to a desktop computer, the entire keyboard is an independent device, and when applied to a notebook computer, it is more integrated with the entire system, so it is not designed to allow 10 users to disassemble the keyboard by themselves. And, in order to prevent users from dismantling and causing artificial perversion, most keyboards are covered by a limited period and conditional product warranty. Usually, some warning stickers are attached to the keyboard assembly screws to warn users. Destruction or removal of these warning stickers due to self-disassembly will invalidate the product warranty of the keyboard. It can be seen that the integrated structure design and assembly method of the keyboard for a long time have a lot of influence on the consumer behavior of the user and the entire keyboard industry. In terms of today's technology, although most keyboards have very high quality and durability, in daily use, environmental factors are often unpredictable. The keyboard is affected by oil, water or beverage on the hand, or even in the air. Pollution of dust and particles may cause poor use of the keyboard. The first part 511 of the ω ugly II ΙΙΜΑΛΙ- and the smoke of the positioning unit .51 5 1 It is difficult to drop pressure 'or it cannot spring back to its original position after pressing, resulting in a poor operation. However, the existing design cannot allow the user to simply remove these substances, and it will inevitably affect the mechanical function of the keyboard. Because of the keyboard's conditional product warranty system, in order to avoid the warranty failure of the products that are still within the warranty period, the only option is to return the keyboard to the manufacturer for repair or replace it with another new keyboard. Five-disk manufacturers do not count keyboard recycling as cost, so the cost of replacing a new keyboard to the customer is always cheaper than returning the keyboard for repair. Therefore, millions of keyboards are discarded every year in storage boxes, warehouses, and garbage dumps, resulting in wasted millions and even tens of millions of dollars in costs, and the electronic components in discarded keyboards can also be environmentally friendly to the environment. Hazard, but no one 10 thinks about how to recycle these keyboards and come up with more environmentally friendly ways to solve these problems.
