The described circuit layer of going up is provided with the circuit that definition is listed as, following circuit layer is provided with the circuit of definition line: the circuit of going up circuit layer and following circuit layer is made of the electric wire of weaving in last circuit layer and following circuit layer, or starches lines by the silver of the upper surface that is coated with the lower surface that is drawn on the road floor that powers on and following circuit layer respectively and constitute;
Described key layer is to fill out double-layered structure's fabric of core, inserts the packed layer of one group of thickening in the position, key position of marking keyboard, and the packed layer of described thickening is the fiber of one group of fineness greater than key layer fabric fineness.
As a kind of improvement, the described circuit of going up circuit layer and following circuit layer is an ag paste electrode at the electrode with the opposite position setting of separation layer hole.
As a kind of improvement, between described key layer, last circuit layer, separation layer and the following circuit layer point of fixity is set respectively, it is fixing that fixed point has bonding agent to be used for each layer.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
This fabric keyboard can be used as the usefulness of input equipment, practical and various types of information products compatibilities.Because the soft character of fabric, this fabric keyboard can be rolled up or is folding, guaranteeing that the keyboard high sensitivity reaches accurately simultaneously, has realized portability and foldability, and can wash that this computing machine that can be worn on one's body for later exploitation has been opened up road.

Embodiment
The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples:
Referring to accompanying drawing 1,2, the flexible keyboard in the present embodiment is 108 key boards of a standard, comprises by non-conductive fabric constituting and the key layer 201 of arranging successively, going up circuit layer 202, separation layer 203 and following circuit layer 204 from top to bottom; Key layer 201 is for filling out core double-layered structure fabric, be filled in the middle of it bigger fiber of one group of fineness as at the packed layer of the position, key position of marking keyboard thickening with this as button, print the symbol of each button shown in Figure 1 on the bossing, this protrusion adds that the pressure of finger can flexiblely be bent downwardly.
Lay on the separation layer 203 and key position hole one to one; Last circuit layer 202 is provided with the circuit of definition row, and following circuit layer 204 is provided with the circuit of definition line, and in the relevant position of separation layer 203 laying holes corresponding one by one ag paste electrode is set, and two circuit are connected to a signaling interface in keyboard edge.
In the present embodiment, the circuit of last circuit layer 202 and following circuit layer 204 is to be made of the electric wire of weaving in last circuit layer 202 and following circuit layer 204.Certainly, circuit also can be coated with the upper surface of the lower surface that is drawn on the road floor 202 that powers on and following circuit layer 204 with conductive silver paste respectively.When the button of key layer 201 was pressed, because the existence of separation layer 203 holes is arranged, the ag paste electrode of last circuit layer 202 can contact with corresponding electrode on the following circuit layer 204 through hole, becomes the closed circuit of a conducting.Each electrode distributes in strict accordance with button as shown in Figure 1 in last circuit layer 202 and the following circuit layer 204, and respectively correspondence the button in the key layer 201.
Between key layer, last circuit layer, separation layer and the following circuit layer point of fixity is set respectively, fixed point is bonding with each layer with bonding agent.As the point of fixity 20201,20202,20203,20204,20205 and 20206 on the last circuit layer 202 among Fig. 3, and the point of fixity 20401,20402,20403,20404,20405 and 20406 on the circuit layer 204 under among Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 is the little master drawing of key layer 201, and Fig. 6 is the partial enlarged drawing of Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 is the organization chart of Fig. 6 counterpart.Key layer 201 has been selected for use on fabric tissue and has been filled out core double-layered structure for the effect of analogue-key projection, has been filled into one group of fiber that fineness is bigger between top layer and nexine.As Fig. 5, it is made up of three parts: ground portion (white), flower portion (black), flower portion bound edge (grey), each part is represented a tissue.This is wherein: the ground tissue be top layer 6 pieces of changes of plain weave backing nexine then through twill, core latitude backing is after top layer and nexine; Flower tissue be top layer 6 pieces of changes of plain weave backing nexine then through twill, the core latitude is filled between top layer and the nexine; The bound edge tissue is that top layer, nexine and sandwich layer are respectively plain weave, and access node is organized as back warp and connects 1/5 of table latitude
Figure C20061005045300051
Twill.As Fig. 6, comprise fill out core tissue 1, bound edge tissue 2, organize 3.Fig. 7 organizes stretch-out view for Fig. 6 correspondence, respectively expression fill out core tissue 1, bound edge tissue 2, organize 3 the stretch-out view of organizing.Last circuit layer 202 among Fig. 2 reaches circuit layer 204 down, is to knit into fabric by little model machine according to the circuit of setting, and organizes and then adopts the simplest plain weave.In addition, can also be chosen on the fabric that weaves, utilize the conductive silver paste circuit that draws.203 of separation layers are that the ag paste electrode of circuit layer 204 digs out hole one by one to the fabric that will weave accordingly in strict accordance with reaching down with last circuit layer 202.
At last, it is also to be noted that what more than enumerate only is specific embodiments of the invention.Obviously, the invention is not restricted to above examples of implementation, many distortion can also be arranged.All distortion that those of ordinary skill in the art can directly derive or associate from content disclosed by the invention all should be thought protection scope of the present invention.
