Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.In this present embodiment, the first spring 142 and second spring 144 are straight line
It contacts and is set in accommodating space 110 by precompressed, as shown in Figure 4;At this point, keycap 12 is located at initial position, keycap 12 not by
Pressing.When keycap 12 bears pressing force when being moved from initial position towards pedestal 10 via cap body 122, such as user is with hand
Refer to pressing cap body 122, keycap 12 is replied spring assembly the application of force mechanisms 14 pressing force and is depicted with arrows in figure, pressing force
Sequentially pedestal 10 is transferred to via the first spring 142 and second spring 144.Conversion position is reached in keycap 12 (as shown in Figure 7
Person) before, the first spring 142 and second spring 144 can with keycap 12 relative to pedestal 10 movement and flexible deformation.Work as key
When cap 12 is moved to conversion position, second spring 144 is compressed into corresponding compacting height H1, as shown in Figure 7.At this point, second
The substantially perpendicular stacking of a plurality of elastic rings of spring 144, that is, adjacent elastic ring contacts so that between the two without can ammunition feed
Property deformation gap, even if therefore second spring 144 bears the power of bigger again, can not also generate flexible deformation, that is, second spring
144 can not be again by compressive deformation.In this present embodiment, in second spring 144, adjacent elastic ring is pressed in vertical direction
It is in close contact in contracting, flexible direction and makes between the two tight.Therefore, when keycap 122 movement be more than conversion position it
Afterwards, the no longer deformation of second spring 144, the first spring 142 then still can with keycap 12 towards pedestal 10 move and flexible deformation.In
In the present embodiment, when keycap 122 continuously moves to pressing position, the first spring 142 is also compressed into corresponding compacting height,
As shown in Figure 8;But invention is not limited thereto, such as press-key structure 1 also may be designed to when keycap 122 is located at pressing position,
First spring 142 is not compacted and elastically deformable.
In this present embodiment, there is the first spring 142 first spring constant, second spring 144 to have second spring constant,
First spring constant is different from second spring constant, therefore, when receiving identical pressing force, the first spring 142 and the second bullet
Spring 144 has different deflections, passes through the deformable amount of the first spring of design 142 and second spring 144 so that in keycap 122
When squeezing spring assembly, one of spring is first compacted.In this present embodiment, the first spring 142 with second spring 144 with phase
With metal line footpath be made, the first spring 142 has a first external diameter 142a, and second spring 144 has a second external diameter 144a, first
Outer diameter 142a is less than second external diameter 144a, the first spring 142 and 144 pitch having the same of second spring and length, therefore second
Spring constant is less than the first spring constant, and second spring 144 will be first compacted.In addition, spring assembly includes connecting spring
146, the first spring 142 is connect with second spring 144 via connecting spring 146, and connecting spring 146 has the outer diameter of gradual change, makes
It obtains the first spring 142 in 144 structure of second spring to be smoothly connected, and the power between the first spring 142 and second spring 144
Amount can be transmitted smoothly.In principle, the outer diameter of 146 gradual change of connecting spring is i.e. from first external diameter 142a gradual changes to second external diameter 144a
Variation.In addition, in specific implementation, connecting spring 146 with for connector, such as a metal wire sections are in the side of spring assembly
The both ends or two metal wire sections for connecting the first spring 142 and second spring 144 symmetrically connect the first bullet in two sides of spring assembly
The both ends of spring 142 and second spring 144, and or a metal wire sections simultaneously across the first spring 142 and the end of second spring 144
Coil.In addition, in this present embodiment, the first spring 142 is coaxially disposed with second spring 144, i.e. the extension of the two structure is axial
Overlapping, but invention is not limited thereto.Such as when the first spring 142 and 144 eccentric setting of second spring so that the first spring
142 can be directly connected to the both ends of second spring 144, that is, be not necessarily to connect through connecting spring 146, connecting spring 146 can at this time
It omits.
In addition, before keycap 12 reaches conversion position, the whole coefficient of elasticity of spring assembly is the first spring constant
Inverse and second spring constant reciprocal and inverse, so when whole coefficient of elasticity be less than the first spring constant and the
Two spring constants, user can feel lighter feel i.e. smaller feedback force when pressing keycap 12, can be easily and rapidly
Press keycap 12.It is postponed more than translation bit in keycap 12, because second spring 144 has been compacted, therefore whole coefficient of elasticity is equal to
First spring constant;In other words, whole coefficient of elasticity increases.At this point, user can feel when pressing keycap 12 compared with
The feel of weight, that is, larger feedback force, screen resilience are big.Therefore, during user presses keycap 12, user will feel
To the feel of first light rear weight.In addition, in this present embodiment, the outer diameter 108a of pillar 108 is less than the second internal diameter of second spring 144
144b, the outer diameter 180a of pillar 108 are more than the first internal diameter 142b of the first spring 142, and the size of light source hole 1082 is less than first
First internal diameter 142b of spring 142 so that pillar 108 can effectively the first spring of block 142 move down.When 12 rotation of keycap
When change place to pressing position moves, that is, keycap 12 towards pedestal 10 movement be more than conversion position after, although second spring 144
Pillar 108 (as shown in Figure 7) is slightly protruded from relative to bottom plate 102 after being compacted, but the first spring 142 connects with second spring 144
The one end connect also can be against pillar 108, this contributes to the stability of 142 shell-shaped deformation of the first spring;But the present invention not as
Limit.For example, 108 height of pillar is greatly reduced or is apparently higher than after so that second spring 144 is compacted pillar 108, the first spring 142
In principle would not be against pillar 108, but remain to move and flexible deformation towards bottom plate 102 with keycap 12.In addition, in specific
In implementation, avoiding space can be formed on pillar 108, to avoid pillar 108 and 146 constructive interference of connecting spring, thereby, the second bullet
Spring 144 can be less than pillar 108 after being compacted, and the first spring 142 remains to steadily against pillar 108.
In addition, based on the foregoing description, in specific implementation, spring assembly also can be changed so that the first spring 142 is in keycap
During 12 are pressed, first reach compaction state, the same pressing feel that can realize first light rear weight.Such as by previous embodiment
In spring assembly be inverted, you can the spring constant of the second spring 144 after making the spring of top be inverted is smaller, and first reaches
Compaction state.Again or change length, line footpath, the pitch etc. of each spring, so that the spring of top is first reached compaction state, and not
It is limited by first compacting with the spring with smaller spring constant;Similarly, this change means is equally applicable for aforementioned groups of springs
Force mechanisms 14 are replied in conjunction so that second spring 144 can first reach the i.e. aforementioned compacting height H1 of compaction state.
In addition, in previous embodiment, the first spring 142 is concatenated with second spring 144 by the first spring 142 and second
Spring 144 sequentially alinement and is connected, therefore keycap 12 is towards pedestal 10 when moving, to the force of spring assembly so that
First spring 142 and second spring 144 are compressed;But invention is not limited thereto.As shown in figure 9, according to another implementation
Example, the first spring 142 and second spring 144 side by side, but are still concatenation in structure, that is, the force of keycap 12 is still by the first bullet
Spring 142 is transferred to second spring 144, then is transferred to pedestal 10.In in specific implementation, the first spring 142 in Fig. 9 and the second bullet
Spring 144 is also able to nestable mode and is arranged, such as the first spring 142 has smaller outer diameter and can stretch into second spring 144,
But concatenation must be still kept in structure.In Fig. 9, when keycap 12 is moved from initial position towards pedestal 10, the first spring 142 is
Stretcher strain, second spring 144 are contracting compressive strains and can be depressed into its compression height by contracting.Likewise, being inverted about spring assembly
Explanation, it is also applicable in this, do not repeat separately.
In press-key structure 1, the spring that spring assembly is concatenated with two is i.e. for example:First spring 142 and second of concatenation
Spring 144, but invention is not limited thereto.In in specific implementation, spring assembly may include the spring of more concatenations so that bullet
Multistage variation is presented in the coefficient of elasticity of spring composite entity, and each section of coefficient of elasticity is constant, and with compressed spring
The coefficient of elasticity of the increase of quantity, spring assembly entirety also increases.In addition, the spring of each concatenation is not with single structure body
Spring is limited, such as two and the spring that connects integrally can also be used as a spring concatenate herein in.In addition, in press-key structure 1
In, the second spring constant of second spring 144 is less than the first spring constant of the first spring 142, therefore in second spring 144 not by
Before compacting, the coefficient of elasticity of spring assembly entirety is less than the second spring constant of second spring 144, and not in second spring 144
After being compacted, the coefficient of elasticity of spring assembly entirety is equal to the first spring constant of the first spring 142, and the first spring constant is more than
The second spring constant of second spring 144, therefore user can feel that apparent feel difference pushes arrival in keycap 12 and turns
Before change place and later.This feel difference also contributes to press-key structure 1 to provide position residing for user's keycap 12 by feedback force
The information set, such as user can thereby know whether keycap 12 is effectively pressed generally, such as whether switch 18 is effective
Triggering.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.In this present embodiment, movable contact part 184 has fixing end 1842, freedom
End 1844 and contact portion 1846, movable contact part 184 are fixed on bottom plate 102 via fixing end 1842, and contact portion 1846 is located at solid
Between fixed end 1842 and free end 1844 and in electrical contact with fixed contact part 182.Trigger unit 1248 is via free end
1844 push movable contact part 184.
As shown in figure 4, when keycap 12 is not pressed and is located at initial position, movable contact part 184 is by trigger unit at this time
1248 push and flexible deformation have occurred, and such trigger unit 1248 pushes the free end 1844 of movable contact part 184, and to live
The contact portion 1846 of movable contact part 184 and fixed contact part 182 separate, i.e., switch 18 keeps open circuit at this time.
As shown in fig. 6, when keycap 12 be pressed towards pedestal 10 and it is mobile be more than trigger position after, trigger unit 1248 with
The free end 1844 of movable contact part 184 separately so that movable contact part 184 move because of screen resilience so that contact portion 1846 and
Fixed contact part 182 contacts, i.e., switch 18 is connected at this time.In this present embodiment, trigger position is located at initial position (such as Fig. 4 institutes
The person of showing) conversion position (person as shown in Figure 7) between so that after switch 18 be connected be in keycap 12 arrival trigger position it
When, the contact portion 1846 of movable contact part 184 contacts fixed contact part 182, and keycap 12 still can not yet be pressed in second spring 144
Under real state, continue to be moved down into conversion position (person as shown in Figure 7).Such as it can design:The trigger bit for making switch 18 be connected
Keycap 12 is set to from place of initial position moves downward 1.8~2.0mm, and the translation bit for making second spring 144 be compacted is set to
Keycap 12 is from place of initial position moves downward 3.0~3.5mm.In this example, after the conducting of switch 18, keycap 12 may continue to
After moving down at least 1mm, second spring 144 can be just compacted.
In this way, in keycap 12 from during initial position is moved to conversion position, spring assembly is replied force mechanisms 14 and is carried
For smaller spring constant, therefore user's sense can be by lighter feel, and can quickly press keycap 12 and trigger switch 18;
Also, when keycap 12 continues to move down up to pressing position, spring assembly, which changes, provides larger spring constant, and spring assembly is back
Multiple force mechanisms 14 also provide larger screen resilience;User can be changed by the press sense of switch 18 by feel at this time, also
Understand switch 18 to have been turned on, and finger is moved away from keycap 12 to stop applying pressing force so that keycap 12 can be rapidly back to
In situ is initial position.This keystroke driving characteristic is unique:(1) before switch conduction, 14 spring constant of spring assembly is smaller, therefore makes
User's finger experiences lighter resistance, and switch can comparatively fast be connected easily;(2) after switch conduction, more precisely, Yu Jian
Cap 12 is more than the spring constant increasing of spring assembly after conversion position, therefore after user stops pressing, keycap 12 can be quickly
Ground is back to initial position.So contribute to user with higher frequency pressing keys cap 12, such as in the computer of e-sports
It in game, and is avoided that user's finger is excessively contributed again and rapid tired out, prolonged computer game manipulation can not be carried out.
In addition, in this present embodiment, movable contact part 184 is in opening up U-shaped structure, therefore cantilever design is substantially parallel
Extend in 12 start direction of keycap, therefore movable contact part 184 there can be longer jib-length;In other words, movable contact part 184
Smaller trigger force is able to push.Also, for the centring point that movable contact part 184 deflects, 1248 contact terminal of trigger unit
The position that the position (relative to distance L1) in portion 1846 contacts free end 1844 compared with fixed contact part 182 is (relative to distance L2)
Far, that is, distance L1 is more than distance L2, therefore keycap 12 can penetrate lever principle, be touched with smaller via trigger unit 1248
It has an effect and opens the switch 18 of short circuit.In addition, even if there is a little variation in the position that trigger unit 1248 is contacted with movable contact part 184,
Such as plunger 124 slightly has and is moved up and down on the bias relative to direction D1, this is changed to movable contact part 184 and fixed contact part
The influence of 182 contact position will also be reduced, therefore fixed contact part 182 remains to connecing for effective movable contact part 184 in electrical contact
Point portion 1846.In other words, the switch 18 of the present embodiment and the configuration of trigger unit 1248 help to promote the assembling to press-key structure 1
Or the tolerance of start error.In addition, in this present embodiment, when movable contact 184 start of part is substantially in horizontal deflection, trigger force
Also it is in principle horizontal lateral force, helps to reduce the influence to keycap 12 relative to about 10 start of pedestal.
Please refer to Fig.1, Fig. 2, Fig. 5, Fig. 7 (or Fig. 8), Figure 10 and Figure 11, wherein in Figure 11, sliding connected structure 106,
1246, the profile of trigger unit 1248 and switch 18 is painted with dotted line.In this present embodiment, pedestal 10 has rectangular projection profile,
Sequentially there is pedestal 10 first corner 10a, the second corner 10b, third corner 10c and fourth corner 10d, the sliding of pedestal 10 to hold in the mouth
Binding structure 106 includes 2 first sliding components 1062, is shaped by taking sliding groove structure as an example, and with 104 structural integrity of upper cover.2 first
Sliding component 1062 is located at the first corner 10a and third corner 10c.The sliding connected structure 1246 of keycap 12 includes 2 the
Two sliding components 12462 correspond to the first corner 10a and third corner 10c respectively by taking slide block structure as an example.2 first sliding structures
Part 1062 is combined slidably engaged with one another with 2 second sliding components 12462 so that keycap 12 is between initial position and pressing position
Movement be linear movement or one-dimensional movement.Switch 18 is located at the second corner 10b, and trigger unit 1248 corresponds to the second corner 10b.Cause
This, corner 10a, 10b, 10c that sliding connected structure 106,1246, trigger unit 1248 and switch 18 correspond to pedestal 10 respectively are set
It sets, compared with other positions, such as side portion of the pedestal 10 between corner 10a, 10b, larger space setting can be enjoyed, into
And provide the reliability and stability of structure start.In addition, in this present embodiment, the first sliding component 1062 with sliding groove structure and
Second sliding component 12462 is illustrated by taking slide block structure as an example, but in specific implementation, can also exchanging setting, that is, first
Sliding component 1062 by taking sliding groove structure as an example, can equally be combined slidably engaged with one another by slide block structure and the second sliding component 12462
And have effects that guide keycap 12 is moved up and down relative to pedestal 10.
As indicated above, in press-key structure 1, spring assembly is the process replied force mechanisms 14 and be used in flexible deformation
In, so that one of spring i.e. second spring 144 is compacted and change its whole coefficient of elasticity, but the present invention not as
Limit.2 to Figure 14 are please referred to Fig.1, for according to the continuous start section of pressing of a press-key structure 3 of another embodiment of the present invention
Schematic diagram.Press-key structure 3 is roughly the same with 1 structure of press-key structure, therefore press-key structure 3 continues to use the component symbol of press-key structure 1, phase
With the element function having the same of component symbol.Other than following the description, about other explanations of press-key structure 3, it please join
The related description for readding press-key structure 1, does not repeat separately.Press-key structure 3 is with one of in place of 1 main difference of press-key structure by bond
Structure 3 using stop part 109, (such as scheme certainly when keycap 12 is moved to conversion position from initial position towards pedestal 10 by press-key structure 3
The state that the state of 12 displays is shown to Figure 13), 14 constructive interference of force mechanisms is replied with spring assembly to prevent second spring
144 continue flexible deformations, rather than prevent the second spring 144 from continuing elastic change by way of so that second spring 144 is compacted
Shape.Therefore, after keycap 12 is more than conversion position from initial position towards the movement of pedestal 10, stop part 109 and spring assembly
Between generate constructive interference so that one of them can not be deformed for the first spring 142 and second spring 144, and the first spring 142 and
Second spring 144 wherein it is another still can with keycap 12 towards pedestal 10 move and flexible deformation.Thereby, press-key structure 3
Spring assembly also can provide the lighter feel of user i.e. smaller feedback force, and in key before keycap 12 reaches conversion position
Cap 12 is postponed more than translation bit, provides the heavier feel of user i.e. larger feedback force.In press-key structure 3, stop part 109
It is set to the bottom plate 102 of pedestal 10 and is equivalent to the pillar 108 of press-key structure 1, stop part 109 also has pillar 108 in button
Effect in structure 1.In addition, furthermore, it is understood that in press-key structure 3, when keycap 12 is moved from initial position towards pedestal 10
More than conversion position after (state that such as press-key structure 3 is shown from the state that Figure 13 is shown to Figure 14), the first spring 142 against
Stop part 109, this i.e. generate stop part 109 and spring assembly constructive interference effect so that second spring 144 can not again with
Keycap 12 moves down and continues flexible deformation, but the first spring 142 is remained to as keycap 12 moves down and continues elastic change
Shape.In addition, escape groove can be formed in specific implementation, on stop part 109 to accommodate connecting spring 146 so that the first spring 142
It can be more stably against stop part 109.In addition, in specific implementation, stop part 109 also can be by resisting connecting spring 146
Mode come prevent second spring 144 continue flexible deformation.As shown in figure 15, connecting spring 146 is against stop part 109 so that
Two springs 144 do not continue to flexible deformation, but the first spring 142 remains to continue flexible deformation.Also, in Figure 15, connecting spring
146 can connect the both ends of the first spring 142 and second spring 144 for a metal wire sections in the side of spring assembly, or can be two
Metal wire sections symmetrically connect the both ends of the first spring 142 and second spring 144 in two sides of spring assembly, and or can be a metal
Line segment is simultaneously across the first spring 142 and the end coil of second spring 144.
In this present embodiment, stop part 109 is set to pedestal 10 with block second spring 144;But the present invention not as
Limit.Such as be inverted the spring assembly of press-key structure 3, stop part 109, which changes, is set to plunger 124, at this point, this stop part 109 is
It is the second spring 144 after being inverted for the spring above block.In another example as shown in figure 16, stop part 109' is set to key
Cap 12 is provided between first spring 142 and second spring 144 for the supporting piece 143 with stop part 109' interactions, when keycap 12
When being moved downward to conversion position, stop part 109' is against supporting piece 143 so that the first spring 142 no longer with keycap 12 to
Lower movement and deform, but second spring 144 is continued to as keycap 12 moves down and deforms.In in specific implementation, stop part
109', which can also change, to be set on pedestal 10 (person as shown in phantom in Figure 16);At this point, when keycap 12 is moved downward to conversion position
When, stop part 109' is against supporting piece 143 so that and second spring 144 is no longer as keycap 12 moves down and deforms, but first
Spring 142 is continued to as keycap 12 moves down and deforms.In another example as shown in figure 17, stop part 109 " is set to keycap
12, when keycap 12 is moved down from initial position, the first spring 142 is stretcher strain, and second spring 144 is contracting compressive strain.
When keycap 12 is moved downward to conversion position, stop part 109 is " against spring assembly or the first spring 142 and second spring 144
Junction so that the first spring 142 no longer as keycap 12 moves down and deforms, but second spring 144 continue to
Keycap 12 is moved down and is deformed.In in specific implementation, stop part 109 " can also change and be set on pedestal 10 (dotted line in such as Figure 17
