Abstract
The invention relates to a key and a keyboard with the same. The key comprises a bottom plate, a keycap, a protrusion and a lifting support device. The protrusion is arranged at the bottom of the keycap. The lifting support device is disposed between the bottom plate and the keycap and is provided with a first end, a second end and a recess between the first end and the second end. The first end is opposite to the second end. The first end is movably connected to the keycap. The second end is movably connected to the bottom plate. The protrusion is movably inset in the recess when the keycap moves down through the lifting support device, so that when the keycap moves relative to the bottom plate, the first end leaves the keycap. The key and the keyboard with the same have the advantages of simple structure and easiness in assembly. The transverse movement of the keycap can be limited by effectively utilizing the combination of the protrusion and the recess, so that the keycap is prevented from leaving the lifting support device.

Embodiment
See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the keyboard 10 of the embodiment of the present invention.Keyboard 10 includes base plate 12 and a plurality of button 14, and a plurality of buttons 14 sequentially are arranged at the surface of base plate 12.See also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the element blast end view of the button 14 of the embodiment of the present invention.Button 14 includes keycap 16, outstanding structure 18, liftable supporter 20, film circuit board 22 and elastomer 24.Keycap 16 includes bridgeware 26 and appearance member 28.Keycap 16 has draw-in groove 30 and chute 32, and draw-in groove 30 and chute 32 are used for linking liftable supporter 20.Draw-in groove 30 and chute 32 are arranged on the surface of bridgeware 26.Appearance member 28 is arranged on another surface of the relative draw-in groove 30 of bridgeware 26 and chute 32.Bridgeware 26 can be comprised of metal material or plastic cement material, and appearance member 28 is comprised of metal material, and appearance member 28 covers the outer rim of bridgeware 26 so that button 14 has the outward appearance of metal-like.Liftable supporter 20 can be comprised of metal material or plastic cement material, but not as limit.
As shown in Figure 2, outstanding structure 18 is the spacing element of using, and is arranged at the bottom of keycap 16.For instance, outstanding structure 18 can be set directly at the bottom surface of bridgeware 26; Or outstanding structure 18 also can be arranged at the bottom surface of appearance member 28, and bridgeware 26 forms holes (not being shown in figure) corresponding to the position of outstanding structure 18, after making bridgeware 26 and appearance member 28 engaging, holes on the outstanding penetrable bridgeware 26 of structure 18, and chimeric to liftable supporter 20 so that limit function to be provided.
See also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of liftable supporter 20 of the button of the embodiment of the present invention.Liftable supporter 20 is arranged between base plate 12 and keycap 16.Liftable supporter 20 has relative first end 34 (upper end) and the second end 36 (lower end), and is arranged on the sunk structure 38 between first end 34 and the second end 36.First end 34 connects keycap 16, the second ends 36 with mobilizable mode connecting bottom board 12 in mobilizable mode.The outstanding structure 18 of sunk structure 38 upward openings and sensing, that is sunk structure 38 can be positioned at the below of outstanding structure 18, therefore be pressed and in seeing through the process that liftable supporter 20 moves down at keycap 16, outstanding structure 18 embeds sunk structure 38 movably, make keycap 16 do horizontal lateral movement with respect to liftable supporter 20, thereby when avoiding relative base plate 12 motion of keycap 16, the first end 34 of liftable supporter 20 breaks away from keycap 16.
As shown in Figure 3, liftable supporter 20 includes the first strutting piece 40 and the second strutting piece 42.The first strutting piece 40 has the first sliding part 44 and the first articulated section 46, the first sliding parts 44 and is connected in slidably chute 32, the first articulated sections 46 and is articulated in rotationally base plate 12.The second strutting piece 42 is articulated in the first strutting piece 40.The second strutting piece 42 has the second sliding part 48 and the second articulated section 50, the second sliding parts 48 and is connected in slidably base plate 12, the second articulated sections 50 and is articulated in rotationally draw-in groove 30.Wherein, embodiments of the invention are arranged at the first strutting piece 40 with sunk structure 38, so not as limit.Sunk structure 38 optionally is arranged on the body of rod of the first strutting piece 40 or the second strutting piece 42, and all positions that corresponds to outstanding structure 18 all are applicable to arrange sunk structure 38 of the present invention.In the present embodiment, outstanding structure 18 be hemisphere, and in practical operation, giving prominence to structure 18 can also be for cylindrical, rectangle cylindricality etc., and sunk structure 38 can be set to the shape corresponding with outstanding structure 18, not as limit.
Moreover film circuit board 22 is arranged on base plate 12, and 24, elastomer is arranged between keycap 16 and film circuit board 22.During operation push-button 14, keycap 16 is pressed down near base plate 12, and elastomer 24 produces strain contact membrane circuit board 22 because of the extruding of keycap 16, therefore the exportable electric signal of film circuit board 22 is to send the control command of corresponding button 14.The mode of operation of button 14 as common button, so chat no longer in detail bright.
See also Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are respectively the schematic diagram of button 14 when the different operating state of the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 4, button 14 is positioned at initial condition, and elastomer 24 (not being shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) can support keycap 16 and maintain the extreme higher position, and outstanding structure 18 was alignd but not yet connected or act on sunk structure 38 this moment.As shown in Figure 5, keycap 16 is pressed and moves down.Along with keycap 16 and the relative distance of base plate 12 are dwindled, outstanding structure 18 can be inserted and complete being embedded in sunk structure 38 gradually.Keycap 16 can prevent that by the combination of giving prominence to structure 18 and sunk structure 38 keycap 16 from separating with liftable supporter 20 when base plate 12 moves relatively, improve the operational stability of button 14.
In sum, the present invention is combined into keycap by bridgeware and appearance member, because appearance member is comprised of metal material, therefore button can have the texture of metal appearance.Moreover the bottom of keycap can arrange outstanding structure, and the body of rod of liftable supporter also forms corresponding sunk structure.When pressing keycap, outstanding structure can be fitted in sunk structure, and keycap and liftable supporter are separated from each other when avoiding keycap to be pressed into extreme lower position.Therefore, button of the present invention and keyboard thereof have simple in structure and assembling is easy to advantage, can effectively utilize the combination restriction keycap transverse shifting of outstanding respective outer side edges sunk structure, avoid keycap and liftable supporter to break away from.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; in the situation that do not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art can make according to the present invention various corresponding changes and distortion, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
