Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an input device having a protection pad.
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. For example, the common electronic devices in daily life are notebook computers, mobile phones, satellite navigation devices, and the like, and the storage capacities and the operation performance of the processors of the electronic devices are greatly improved, so that the functions of the electronic devices become increasingly powerful and complex. In order to operate these electronic devices efficiently, manufacturers of electronic devices use, for example, a mouse, a trackball, a keyboard, and a touch pad as input devices to operate a plurality of electronic devices. The keyboard can be used for a user to directly input characters and symbols into the electronic equipment, the touch pad can be used for the user to contact the touch pad through fingers and slide on the touch pad to move a cursor on a screen, and the electronic equipment can also execute a specific function through pressing the touch pad.
In addition, gaps exist among all the keys of the known keyboard, dust, small impurities or liquid easily enter the keyboard, and the keyboard is not easy to clean and further damaged. Taking a keyboard of a notebook computer as an example, important electronic components are usually configured below the keyboard, and when foreign matters or liquid enters, the normal operation of the whole keyboard is easily affected. In view of this, a flexible protection pad is detachably covered on a keyboard in the market at present, or the flexible protection pad is directly attached to the keyboard to cover a gap between two adjacent keys, so as to achieve a certain degree of dust-proof and water-proof effects, and the flexible protection pad can also enable a user to have a better pressing hand feeling when pressing the keys.
However, the soft protection pad is detachably covered on the keyboard and cannot be completely sealed with the keyboard, so that a gap still exists between the edge of the soft protection pad and the keyboard, and foreign matters or liquid can still enter through the edge of the soft protection pad. Furthermore, although the soft protection pad directly attached to the keyboard can be effectively sealed with the keyboard, the glue between the soft protection pad and the keyboard can cause the problem of poor pressing hand feeling of the keys. In addition, most of the existing soft protection pads only cover and attach the keyboard to achieve the protection effect, and if the touch panel is to be protected by covering and attaching the soft protection pad, the soft protection pad attaching process of the keyboard and the touch panel needs to be completed at different work stations, which results in a significant increase in the manufacturing cost. Therefore, how to improve the above problems is the focus of attention of those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 7 and referring to fig. 2 to fig. 6, the spray masking fixture 200 of the present embodiment is applied to the method for manufacturing the input device shown in fig. 6. When the spraying mask 200 covers the casing 10 of the electronic computer 1, a part of the keyboard module 21 and a part of the interface between the touch pad module 22 and the casing 10 are shielded, so as to define the first gluing region R1, the second gluing region R2 and the third gluing region R3 in step S4 of fig. 6, and the spraying mask 200 can prevent the glue layer 24 from adhering to the shielded region during the gluing process. Furthermore, the spray masking jig 200 is removed after the glue coating process, and at this time, the glue layer 24 attached to the spray masking jig 200 is also removed, so that the regions (i.e., the first non-glue region N1 and the second non-glue region N2) shielded by the spray masking jig 200 do not have any glue layer 24. In the present embodiment, the material of the spray masking fixture 200 is, for example, a plastic material (such as PET, PC, ABS) or a metal material (such as iron), but the invention is not limited thereto.
In summary, in the input device of the embodiment of the invention, the protection pad is directly attached to the housing of the electronic computer, and covers the keyboard module and the touch pad module disposed on the housing at the same time, and the adhesive layer is only coated on the top surface (the first adhesive region) of the housing, a portion of the first surface (the second adhesive region) of each key structure, and a portion of the second surface (the third adhesive region) of the touch pad module. In addition, in the input device manufacturing method of the embodiment of the invention, the gluing areas are defined on the specific positions of the shell, the keyboard module and the touch pad module of the electronic computer through the spray shielding jig, the gluing layers are formed on the gluing areas on the specific positions in the gluing process, and the protective pad is attached to the shell of the electronic computer through the gluing layers on the gluing areas.
