Description

Keyboard module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of keyboard of notebook computer, be meant that especially a kind of different length that cooperates engages with main circuit board with the connecting line of shape, to improve the concomitant keyboard module of keyboard.
Background technology
See also Fig. 1, it is the structural representation of existing notebook computer and keyboard.General notebook computer 8 can be provided with a disposal area 82 at the end face of housing 81; The profile of these disposal area 82 corresponding keyboards 9 is provided with; Ccontaining for this keyboard 9; And keyboard 9 bottom surfaces can be extended one and connected winding displacement (membrane) 91, and this disposal area 82 can be provided with an opening 83 to connecting winding displacement 91, and the main circuit board (not shown) that pass through back and notebook computer 8 inside for this connections winding displacement 91 are electrically connected.
But; The function of notebook computer is maked rapid progress and often must be changed; And need the multiple different machine types of design to select for the user; Even if moreover the notes computer of same type also can be because of being equipped with or the difference of function have different grade, and the main circuit board of the notebook computer of same dimensions just can have different circuits layout (Layout) demand because of the difference of function or outfit.In case the change in location of the connector that is used for being connected with keyboard; Just can't cooperate with old keyboard 9 (contain and be connected winding displacement 91); Be used and need design, make new keyboard again; The notebook computer type the more keyboard specification also the more, part, stock also increase relatively, and make that manufacturing cost is difficult to reduce.
For overcoming the problem of keyboard sharing, just there is relevant design to be suggested.Like No. 373823 " supplying the connector structure of main frame and keyboard assembling " patent of the novel patent in tw Taiwan promptly is an example; It is installed with the internal connector that a donating bond dish links on the motherboard of main frame; And keyboard has an output line in order to engage with an adaptor connector; And this adaptor connector is fixed in this keyboard back side, and this adaptor connector have a scarfing seat for motherboard on internal connector be bonded with each other.
Though aforesaid patent structure can make engaging of keyboard and motherboard unitized, but when the internal connector shift in position on the motherboard, just can't one size fits all, so still have again in addition improved necessity.
The improved structure of interface " keyboard switching " patent that sees also the novel patent in tw Taiwan again No. 543863; It mainly is made up of a keyboard, a circuit board and a packaging body; The extended winding displacement of this keyboard is connected with circuit board, and circuit board is arranged in the packaging body, when circuit board and winding displacement are linked and packed in package interior; Pressure part in packaging body can closely press winding displacement with the signal input part of circuit board and contact; Constitute modular keyboard components with group, use solving keyboard components when creating by different dealers, on this keyboard the problem that is not quite similar of extended winding displacement position.
Yet; In aforesaid No. 543863 patent; Further do not disclose the technology how signal output end of circuit board is connected with main circuit board; Though therefore this patented technology can solve the difference problem of the keyboard of different dealers' manufacturings, the technology when disclosing the connector position change that how to solve on the main circuit board.
Moreover, in this patented technology, must use packaging body to come the power circuit board setting, can increase the whole thickness of coupling assembling like this, and the complexity of part is increased, these also all can have influence on the shared property problem of keyboard.
Thereby aforesaid keyboard connected structure is real to have in addition improved necessity again, in the hope of improving the shared property of keyboard.
Summary of the invention
In view of this; Main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and a kind of keyboard module is provided;, and then can improve the shared property of keyboard and reduce cost because but first connecting line of the link donating bond dish of adapter unit plants jointly with second connecting line and make its electric connection.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, keyboard module of the present invention is made up of a keyboard, one first connecting line, an adapter unit and one second connecting line, and this first connecting line extends from keyboard; This adapter unit has a link, and this link supplies this first connecting line and second connecting line to plant, and first connecting line and second connecting line are electrically connected.
Because can supplying first wiring and second connecting line to peg graft, adapter unit of the present invention is electrically connected; And this second connecting line is to use for being connected to main circuit board; Therefore when the circuit layout of main circuit board changes, only need see through different length and cooperate with adapter unit, can be connected with the keyboard of same specification with second connecting line of shape; The shared property of keyboard can be improved by this, and then stock and manufacturing cost can be reduced.
The preferably, this adapter unit has an insulating body, and this link is arranged at this insulating body, and in this insulating body, have a plurality of metal connecting pieces, use so that first connecting line and second connecting line electrically connect.
The preferably; Each metal connecting piece to should first connecting line and this second connecting line have one first elastic portion and one second elastic portion respectively, and positively electrically connect with this first connecting line and this second connecting line respectively by first elastic portion and second elastic portion.
The preferably, this link is positioned at the side of this adapter unit.
The preferably, this adapter unit is fixedly arranged on this keyboard.
The preferably, these adapter unit two ends have protruded out a lug respectively, and each lug has a fixing hole respectively, and can pass fixing hole with a bolt respectively, and this adapter unit is locked in this keyboard.
The preferably, this adapter unit is fixedly arranged on this keyboard with adhesion system.
The preferably, this adapter unit is adhered to this keyboard with the mode of gum.
Compared with prior art, keyboard module of the present invention can cooperate different length to engage with main circuit board with the connecting line of shape, and is concomitant to improve keyboard.
Below in execution mode, be described in detail detailed features of the present invention and advantage; Its content is enough to make any related art techniques person of haveing the knack of to understand technology contents of the present invention and implements according to this; And according to content, claim and the diagram that this specification disclosed, any related art techniques person of haveing the knack of can understand purpose and the advantage that the present invention is correlated with easily.
