Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the local appearance schematic diagram of the keyboard module of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is the cross-sectional schematic of the regional A of Fig. 1 along the I-I line, and Fig. 3 is the decomposing schematic representation of the keyboard module of Fig. 1.Please refer to Fig. 1, keyboard module 100 is assembled on the electronic installation (not shown), and for example notebook computer or smart mobile phone by pushing the button 112 on the keyboard 110, are imported required signal for the user.This keyboard module 100 is built in being the standard-sized keyboard on the host computer, also can be the full size keyboard of circumscribed, its assembling mode adopts the snap-in structure that does not have locking, to make things convenient for keyboard 110 to be assembled on the main frame, and can carry out the dismounting action of keyboard 110 easily, so that change important peripheral cell such as Hard Disk Drive or central processing unit in the main frame.Below describe at the clamping structure of keyboard module 100 and the fixed structure of plaque 120.
Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, keyboard module 100 has a framework 130 and a base plate 140.Framework 130 has a upper surface 130A and adjacent to the side surface 130B of upper surface 130A, upper surface 130A is connected with base plate 140 by side surface 130B, to form holistic supporting bracket, for example with punching press or integrally formed framework 130 of shoot mode and base plate 140.The inner edge of framework 130 is formed with an elastic component 150, and it is arranged in holding tank 130C, and force-applied and elastic bending is in holding tank 130C.The position of elastic component 150 is positioned at the junction of upper surface 130A and adjacent side surface 130B haply, and that the outward appearance of elastic component 150 can be is shaft-like, and has a cantilever 150A along side surface 130B horizontal-extending and be positioned at prodger 150B on the cantilever 150A.Prodger 150B inwardly protrudes from side surface 130B, and be positioned at the middle position of cantilever 150A, and cantilever 150A has only a stiff end E2, the other end is free end E1, so when keyboard 110 is assembled from top to down, the prodger 150B of elastic component 150 touches the bottom surface of keyboard 110 earlier, allow the free end E1 of cantilever 150A be subjected to horizontal active force and to force it outwardly-bent, simultaneously, prodger 150B also slightly outwards moves, so that the bottom surface of keyboard 110 arrives base plate 140 downwards by prodger 150B smoothly.Afterwards, prodger 150B moves inward slightly by the reaction force of cantilever 150A again, so that prodger 150B firmly is fastened in a side of keyboard 110.
In the above-described embodiments, for assemblying keyboard 110 in framework 130, and keyboard 110 is positioned at same horizontal plane with framework 130, framework 130 has a difference in height with base plate 140, so that framework 130 forms an assembly mouth 130D on base plate 140.In addition, elastic component 150 and holding tank 130C are for example integrally formed by a die stamping and framework 130, so that elastic component 150 can be arranged in holding tank 130C.In addition, prodger 150B for example can be integrally formed in the side of cantilever 150A, and the front end of prodger 150B has an inclined-plane 150C.The front end of prodger 150B is connected to a side of keyboard 110 (panel 114).Therefore, when keyboard 110 is assembled in the framework 130, do not need to lock on base plate 140, by screw again with convenient for maintaining.
Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, keyboard 110 has a plurality of buttons 112, for example is the QWERTY button that standard writer is used, and it comprises numerical key, letter key and function key etc.These buttons 112 are arranged on the panel 114, and by pressing keys 112 the flexible circuit board (not shown) in itself and the panel 114 are electrically connected with transmission signals.The detailed structure of relevant keyboard will be omitted, not at this detailed description.In addition, if the slit G between keyboard 110 and the framework 130 is when too big, and dust or impurity are deposited among the slit easily, is difficult to remove.This keyboard module 100 is in order to dwindle slit G, especially plaque 120 is disposed on the framework 130, and the area of plaque 120 is greater than the area of framework 130, and the side of plaque 120 extends along slit G, for example has an arc flanging 120A, so but the slit G between elastic component 150 (being shown in Fig. 3), holding tank 130C (being shown in Fig. 3) and framework 130 and the keyboard 110 on the shadow frame 130 allows slit G obviously diminish.Plaque 120 is except the aesthetic feeling that increases outward appearance, and the side of plaque 120 can have a trip 120B, and the end face of prodger 150B has a location notch 150D, and location notch 150D is revealed among the slit G between framework 130 and the keyboard 110.Interconnect by trip 120B and location notch 150D plaque 120 is fixed on the framework 130.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, prodger 150B is except being connected to a side of panel 114 with front end, so that outside keyboard 110 is fastened on the base plate 140 by prodger 150B, the location notch 150D of its end face is engaged mutually, so that plaque 120 is fixed on the framework 130 by prodger 150B with trip 120B.The material of plaque 120 can be metal, for example light-weighted aluminium alloy, magnesium alloy etc., or the surface has the plastic cement plaque of the coat of metal, to increase metallic luster.Certainly,,, make it outwards mobile slightly, make location notch 150D and trip 120B separated from one another, and remove plaque 120, just can finish the action of dismounting as long as force in prodger 150B if will dismantle plaque 120 time.If will dismantle keyboard 110, also be to force in prodger 150B equally, make it outwards mobile slightly, allow keyboard 110 upwards remove, just can finish the action of dismounting.Therefore, this keyboard module 100 can reduce the use amount of screw, the man-hour during with the assembling of minimizing electronic installation and dismounting keyboard or plaque, the convenience when increasing maintenance.
In sum, keyboard module of the present invention comprises a framework, a base plate, a keyboard and a plaque.Framework has an assembly mouth, at least one elastic component and a holding tank, and elastic component is fixed in the inner edge of framework, and is arranged in holding tank.Elastic component has a cantilever and and is positioned at prodger on the cantilever, and prodger protrudes from the assembly mouth of framework, and is fixed in a side of keyboard by the elastic card of cantilever.In addition, the end face of prodger has a location notch, and appears in the slit of location notch between framework and keyboard.Engage mutually with the trip of plaque by location notch, plaque can be fixed on the framework.
It should be noted that at last: above embodiment is only in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described but not limit it, although the present invention is had been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that: it still can make amendment or be equal to replacement technical scheme of the present invention, and these modifications or be equal to replacement and also can not make amended technical scheme break away from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention.
