Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of input devices, in particular to a keyboard device and a key structure thereof.
Background
With the development of technology, the electronic devices are greatly developed to bring convenience to human life, and therefore it is an important issue how to make the operations of the electronic devices more humanized. Common input devices for electronic devices include mouse devices, keyboard devices, and trackball devices, wherein the keyboard devices allow users to directly input characters and symbols into a computer, and are therefore highly appreciated.
The keyboard device comprises a plurality of key structures, each key structure mainly comprises a keycap, a scissors type connecting element, a film circuit board and a supporting plate which are stacked in sequence, and if the key structure belongs to the type of the light-emitting keyboard, a backlight module is additionally arranged below the supporting plate. Specifically, the membrane circuit board is provided with a membrane switch, an elastic element is arranged between the keycap and the membrane circuit board, and the scissors-type connecting element is connected between the keycap and the supporting plate and comprises a first frame and a second frame pivoted to the first frame, so that the first frame and the second frame can swing relative to each other. When the key cap of any key structure is pressed and moves downwards relative to the bottom plate, the first frame and the second frame of the scissors type connecting element are changed into an overlapped state from an opening state, and the key cap moving downwards extrudes the elastic element to enable the elastic element to abut against and trigger the corresponding membrane switch, so that the keyboard device generates a corresponding key signal.
In order to ensure the strength of the whole structure of the keyboard device, a metal with high strength is generally selected as the material of the supporting plate, but the specific gravity of the metal material with high strength is generally high, which results in a great increase of the whole weight of the keyboard device. In order to effectively reduce the overall weight of the keyboard device, the material of the entire supporting plate is replaced with other material with a lighter specific gravity, such as metal or plastic with lower strength, but the supporting plate is too brittle and easily broken, for example, the supporting plate has a hook connected with the scissors-type connecting element, and if the material of the supporting plate is selected from metal or plastic with lower strength, the hook is very easily broken in the process of assembling the scissors-type connecting element to the supporting plate. In addition, although a plurality of hollow regions may be formed in the support plate to further reduce the weight of the support plate, the number of hollow regions formed in the support plate is limited, and thus the effect of reducing the weight is not significant. Therefore, how to improve the above problems is the focus of attention of those skilled in the art.

For clarity of illustration, fig. 2-5 only show a single key structure and associated elements. As shown in fig. 1, the keyboard device 1 includes a plurality of key structures 10, the key structures 10 can be classified into general keys, numeric keys, and function keys, etc. which are respectively pressed by fingers of a user to enable the keyboard device 1 to generate corresponding key signals to a computer, so as to enable the computer to execute corresponding functions, for example, the general keys are used for inputting symbols such as english letters, the numeric keys are used for inputting numbers, and the function keys are used for providing various shortcut functions, for example, F1-F12.
The detailed structure of the key structure 10 of the keyboard apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be further described below.
As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the key structure 10 of the present embodiment includes a supporting plate 101, a key cap 102, a connecting component 103, and a hook 104. The key cap 102 is disposed above the supporting plate 101, and the key cap 102 can move up and down relative to the supporting plate 101. The connecting member 103 is connected between the supporting plate 101 and the key cap 102, and in the embodiment, the connecting member 103 is, for example, a scissors-type connecting member, but the invention is not limited thereto. The hook 104 is disposed on the supporting plate 101, and the connecting component 103 is connected to the supporting plate 101 through the hook 104. In this embodiment, the supporting plate 101 of the key structure 10 is made of a first material having a first specific gravity, and the hook 104 is made of a second material having a second specific gravity, wherein the second specific gravity of the second material is greater than the first specific gravity of the first material. Since the supporting plate 101 of the key structure 10 of the present embodiment is made of a material with a relatively low specific gravity and the hook 104 is made of a material with a relatively high specific gravity, the purpose of light weight can be achieved, and the high-strength hook 104 can effectively prevent the hook 104 from being broken when the connecting assembly 103 is assembled on the supporting plate 101 through the hook 104.
In the present embodiment, the specific gravity of the supporting plate 101 made of the first material ranges from 1.4g/cm3To 1.9g/cm3That is, the specific gravity of the supporting plate 101 made of the first material may be in the range of 1.7g/cm3To 1.9g/cm3The CEM-1 single-sided glass fiber material, the CEM-3 double-sided semi-glass fiber material and the FR4 double-sided glass fiber material have the specific gravity value of 1.8g/cm3The magnesium alloy material has a specific gravity value range of 1.4g/cm3To 1.6g/cm3The magnesium-lithium alloy material of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first material used for the support plate 101 is not limited to the above-mentioned materials on the premise that the specific gravity value of the first material is smaller than that of the second material.
In the present embodiment, the specific gravity of the hook 104 made of the second material ranges from 2.64g/cm3To 7.93g/cm3That is, the hook 104 made of the second material may have a specific gravity of 2.64g/cm3The specific gravity value of the GM55 aluminum alloy is 2.7g/cm3The Al5052 aluminum alloy material has a specific gravity value of 7.85g/cm3The KU400 hot-dip galvanized steel material and the specific gravity value thereof are 7.93g/cm3The SUS304 stainless steel material of the present invention, however, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the specific gravity of the second material is larger than that of the first materialThe specific gravity of the material is not limited to the above-mentioned specific gravity, and the second material used for the hook 104 is not limited to the above-mentioned specific gravity.
It should be noted that the material of the supporting plate 101 (the first material) and the material of the hook member 104 (the second material) can be selected from any one of the materials for matching according to the actual requirement, for example, the specific gravity is 1.7g/cm3The CEM-1 single-sided glass fiber is used as the base material of the support plate 101 and is matched with a specific gravity value of 7.93g/cm3The SUS304 stainless steel is used as a base material of the hook 104, so that the weight reduction and the securing of the structural connection strength can be optimized.
As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the key structure 10 of the present embodiment further includes a film circuit board 105, an elastic element 106, and a backlight module 107. The thin film wiring board 105 is disposed between the key cap 102 and the support plate 101, and since the thin film wiring board 105 is soft and thin, the thin film wiring board 11 is supported by the support plate 13 below. The elastic element 106 is disposed between the film circuit board 105 and the key cap 102, specifically, the elastic element 106 is disposed on the film circuit board 105, when the key structure 10 is pressed by a user and moves downward relative to the supporting plate 101, the connecting assembly 103 changes from the open state to the folded state, and the key cap 102 moving downward presses the elastic element 106, so that the elastic element 106 abuts against and triggers a switch (not shown in this figure) on the film circuit board 105, thereby enabling the keyboard apparatus 1 to generate a corresponding key signal. The backlight module 107 is disposed below the supporting plate 101, and the supporting plate 101 is located between the backlight module 107 and the thin film circuit board 105, and the backlight module 107 is composed of a light guide plate and a light emitting device disposed on one side of the light guide plate, for example, but the invention is not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the supporting plate 101 is made of a material with a low specific gravity and the hook 104 is made of a material with a high specific gravity, so that the keyboard device can be used not only in the light-emitting keyboard device having the backlight module 107, but also in a keyboard device without a backlight module.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the supporting plate 101 of the present embodiment includes a top surface 1011 and a bottom surface 1012 opposite to each other, and a through hole 1013 penetrating from the top surface 1011 to the bottom surface 1012, and the hook 104 includes a positioning portion 1041 and a hook 1042. In the embodiment, the hook 104 is positioned on the supporting plate 101 by the positioning portion 1041 penetrating through the through hole 1013 of the supporting plate 101, and after the positioning portion 1041 of the hook 104 penetrates through the through hole 1013 of the supporting plate 101, a part of the positioning portion 1041 extends out of the through hole 1013, and the two connecting frames 1030 of the connecting assembly 103 are respectively pivotally connected to the hook portions 1042 of the corresponding hook 104, so that the connecting assembly 103 can be switched between the unfolded state and the folded state according to the lifting movement of the keycap 102. Unlike the conventional key structure in which the hook member is directly stamped from the supporting plate (i.e., the hook member and the supporting plate are integrally formed), the hook member 104 and the supporting plate 101 of the present embodiment are two independent members, and the connection relationship between the two is that the positioning portion 1041 of the hook member 104 penetrates through the through hole 1013 of the supporting plate 101, so that the hook member 104 can be positioned on the supporting plate 101.
As shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, the key structure 10 of the present embodiment further includes a fixing unit 108. The fixing unit 108 covers a portion of the bottom surface 1012 of the supporting plate 101 and the positioning portion 1041 extending out of the through hole 1013, so as to fix the hook 104 on the supporting plate 101. In addition, the backlight module 107 of the present embodiment also has a through hole 1070, and when the fixing unit 108 covers a portion of the bottom surface 1012 of the supporting plate 101, the fixing unit 108 is located in the through hole 1070 of the backlight module 107. In the present embodiment, the fixing unit 108 is, for example, solder, but the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the hook 104 and the supporting plate 101 of the present embodiment are fixed to each other by, for example, soldering. Besides, the hook 104 is fixed on the supporting plate 101 by welding, the hook 104 can also be fixed on the supporting plate 101 by Surface-mount technology (Surface-mount technology) under the condition that the supporting plate 101 does not form a through hole, and the hook 104 can also be riveted on the supporting plate 101 directly by riveting, which does not limit the fixing manner between the hook 104 and the supporting plate 101.
Please refer to fig. 6, which is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a key structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. The key structure 10a of the present embodiment is similar to the key structure 10 shown in fig. 2 to 5, and the difference lies in that the key cap 102a of the key structure 10a of the present embodiment has a larger area and a longer length, and is similar to the Space bar (Space) below the keyboard apparatus 1 shown in fig. 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto, the key structure 10a may also be a multiple key such as an input key (Enter), a Shift key (Shift), a case and case Shift key (Caps Lock), and for the key structure 10a with a longer or larger area size, the connecting component 103a further has a balance bar component, that is, the connecting component 103a of the key structure 10a is a combination of a balance bar component 1031 and a scissor-type connecting component (not shown in the present figure), specifically, the balance bar component 1031 is an elongated rod shaft, and is correspondingly disposed below the key cap 102a and around the scissor-type connecting component (please refer to two frame connecting components 1030 of the scissor-type connecting component shown in fig. 3 to 5, the balance bar assembly 1031 surrounds the two frames 1030), the balance bar assembly 1031 can drive the key cap 102a to move down uniformly according to the upward pressing so as to avoid the inclined pressing deviation condition that one side is higher and the other side is lower. In the present embodiment, the hook 104a pivotally connected to the balance bar assembly 1031 is in an n-shaped structure, two positioning portions 1041 extend downward from two sides of the hook 1042 of the hook 104a, the hook 104a is positioned on the supporting plate 101 by the positioning portions 1041 penetrating through the through hole 1013 of the supporting plate 101, and then the fixing unit 108 covers a part of the bottom 1012 of the supporting plate 101 and the positioning portions 1041 extending to the outside of the through hole 1013 to fix the hook 104a on the supporting plate 101. The connection relationship of other elements of the key structure 10a is similar to the key structure 10 shown in fig. 2 to 5, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
In summary, in the keyboard apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention, the supporting plate of the key structure is made of the first material having the first specific gravity, the hook member disposed on the supporting plate is made of the second material having the second specific gravity, and the second specific gravity of the hook member is greater than the first specific gravity of the supporting plate.
