Embodiment
Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings preferred implementation of the present utility model is elaborated.
Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b are the cutaway view of expression the utility model keyboard with the operating state of metal dome shape switch assembly, and Fig. 5 a to Fig. 5 d is the vertical view that is illustrated in the various execution modes that form the pressurization projection on the light guide plate.As shown in the figure, keyboard of the present utility model comprises with metal dome shape switch assembly: printed circuit board (PCB) 13, this printed circuit board (PCB) 13 are arranged in upper body 11 and the lower case 12, are formed with splicing ear 13a and 13b on described printed circuit board (PCB) 13; Metal dome shape switch 14, this metal dome shape switch 14 is arranged on the described printed circuit board (PCB) 13, the periphery of described metal dome shape switch 14 is fixedlyed connected with the splicing ear 13b in the outside, and the central portion of described metal dome shape switch 14 is by optionally being connected with the splicing ear 13a of central authorities or disconnecting to carry out switching function; Dividing plate 15, this dividing plate 15 is arranged on the described printed circuit board (PCB) 13, is used to form metal dome shape switch 14; Adhesive tape 16, this adhesive tape 16 are used for fixing metal dome shape switch 14 attached on the described dividing plate 15; Light guide plate 17, this light guide plate 17 are arranged on the described metal dome shape switch 14, will be dissipated into the surface from the light of lamp (not shown) incident; Button portion 19, this button portion 19 are arranged on the upper body 11 on the described light guide plate 17, are used for pressurized metal dome shape switch 14 and make it produce strain.
On the one hand, described light guide plate 17 generally with optical characteristics preferably resinous material make, Merlon (Polycarbonate for example, PC), and polymethyl methacrylate (Poly Methyl Metharylate, PMMA), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), form jog in its bottom surface, will be distributed to uper side surface from the light of lamp (not shown) incident that is arranged on a side.
In addition, on described light guide plate 17, be formed with pressurization projection 20, be used for the pressing operation of button portion 19 and the plus-pressure that produces concentrates on the central portion of metal dome shape switch 14, described pressurization projection 20 is to form by cutting light guide plate 17, and separate with light guide plate 17 parts, therefore light guide plate 17 can move up and down independently relatively.
That is, shown in Fig. 5 a, the cutting part 21 in light guide plate 17 formation " C " shapes forms thereby movable main part 22 is separated with light guide plate 17 parts; In addition, form the cutting part 24 of "=" shape continuously from the two ends of described cutting part 21, make a side of described movable main part 22 be connected with light guide plate 17 by connecting portion 23 with preseting length.Because resin material manufacturings such as described light guide plate 17 usefulness PC, PMMA or PET form, and therefore, by the cutting processing of stamping machine, can easily form described cutting part 21 and cutting part 24.
In addition, as another execution mode of pressurization projection 20, shown in Fig. 5 b, connecting portion 23 is set again at the opposite side of described connecting portion 23, movable main part 22 can be connected with light guide plate 17 in both sides, and therefore pressurization projection 20 can more stably move up and down with respect to light guide plate 17.In addition, shown in Fig. 5 c and Fig. 5 d, between the movable main part 22 of pressurization projection 20 and light guide plate 17, form with connecting portion 23 be connected the suitable spatial portion of length 25, thus, by described spatial portion 25, increased the spacing of light guide plate 17 and movable main part 22, thereby needn't worry to be subjected to the interference of light guide plate 17, self-movement more freely at the movable main part 22 that the plus-pressure of button portion 19 is made time spent pressurization projection 20.
Based on this structure, shown in Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b, the action that pushes button portion 9 and decontrol by the user, the central portion of the metal dome shape switch 14 that is made of the metallic plate of dome shape produces the strain of depression, be connected with splicing ear 13a or disconnect, thereby realized switching function.
That is, the user is for the switching manipulation portion 19 that pushes button, and is pressurized by the pressurization projection 20 that the light guide plate 17 of synthetic resin material forms, and descends towards the direction of pressing.At this moment, the movable main part 22 cutting light guide plate 17 of pressurization projection 20, light guide plate 17 can move up and down relatively, so connecting portion 23 is when producing flexural deformations, and the movable main part 22 that has only pressurization projection 20 protrudes and descends from the same horizontal line of light guide plate 17.
Thus, the plus-pressure that pressurization projection 20 can produce the pressing operation of button portion 19 concentrates on the central portion of metal dome shape switch 14 and transmits, because the central portion of metal dome shape switch 14 can produce the strain of normal depression, therefore can correctly carry out the switching function of metal dome shape switch 14, in the pressing operation of button portion 19, keep the good click feel of " coffee of rattling away " simultaneously.
On the other hand, shown in Fig. 4 b, push button under the state of portion 19, remove pressing force, then the central portion of the metal dome shape switch 14 that is made of metallic plate can restore because of the elastic restoring force of oneself, the movable main part 22 and the connecting portion 23 of therefore pressurization projection 20 also can restore to the state shown in Fig. 4 a, are positioned at again on the horizontal line identical with light guide plate 17.
Identical therewith, pressurization projection 20 of the present utility model forms by cutting light guide plate 17, be positioned on the identical horizontal line with light guide plate 17, therefore, protrude the pressurization projection that is formed on bottom surface of light guide plate compared to existing technology, the whole height that metal dome shape switch assembly reduces is the protrusion length of pressurization projection, thus keypad for cellular phone can be made thinner.
And, pressurization projection 20 of the present utility model is to form by using stamping machine that light guide plate 17 is implemented cutting processing, compare by other parts thermal welding is formed the protruding existing operation of pressurization at bottom surface of light guide plate, more easy in the making, improved productivity ratio.
More than, it only is the explanation of carrying out at preferred implementation of the present utility model, protection range of the present utility model should not be defined in above-mentioned execution mode, and in the protection range of technological thought of the present utility model and utility model, those skilled in the art can change, changes or replace; And this execution mode all belongs to protection range of the present utility model.
