Fig. 2 is that button among Fig. 1 is along the sectional view of X-X line.
Embodiment
See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram according to the keyboard 1 of the utility model one embodiment.As shown in Figure 1, keyboard 1 comprises base plate 30, circuit board 32 and a plurality of button 3.Button 3 is available for users to push, and then carries out the function of user institute desire input.The utility model proposed utilizes invisible light to excite the fluorescent powder and the design that produces visible light can be applicable at least on one of them of a plurality of buttons 3, its quantity number is looked closely the practical application of keyboard 1 and is decided, below be to be described at one of them button 3 with luminescent designs, as for other can be luminous the structural design of button 3, it can be by that analogy.
See also Fig. 2, it is that button 3 among Fig. 1 is along the sectional view of X-X line.As shown in Figure 2, button 3 comprises base plate 30, circuit board 32, luminescence unit 34, keycap 36 and liftable supporter 38.Circuit board 32 is arranged on the base plate 30, and luminescence unit 34 is electrically connected at circuit board 32, and liftable supporter 38 is arranged between base plate 30 and the keycap 36.In this embodiment, luminescence unit 34 is used for sending invisible light, wherein invisible light wavelength is preferably less than 400 nanometers, in practical application, luminescence unit 34 can be luminescence-utraviolet diode (Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diode, UV LED), the invisible light that it sent is the ultraviolet ray of wavelength less than 400 nanometers, but not as limit, that is to say that so long as can be used to send the luminescence unit of invisible light, it all can be applicable in the utility model, as for the luminescence unit that adopts which kind of type, look closely the practical application of keyboard 1 and decide.
Below describe at keycap 36 structural design with liftable supporter 38, keycap 36 has first chute 360 and first draw-in groove 362, and base plate 30 has second chute 302 and second draw-in groove 304.Liftable supporter 38 comprises first support member 380 and second support member 382, and wherein second support member 382 and first support member 380 articulate.First support member 380 has first sliding part 3800 and first articulated section 3802, and when assembling first support member 380, first sliding part 3800 is mounted slidably in first chute 360, and first articulated section 3802 is articulated in second draw-in groove 304 rotationally.Second support member 382 has second sliding part 3820 and second articulated section 3822, and when assembling second support member 382, second sliding part 3820 is mounted slidably in second chute 302, and second articulated section 3822 is articulated in first draw-in groove 362 rotationally.Thus, see through above-mentioned structure and connect design, keycap 36 can move up and down with respect to base plate 30 by liftable supporter 38.
In practical application, button 3 can comprise elastic component 40 in addition, as shown in Figure 2, elastic component 40 is arranged between keycap 36 and the base plate 30, required elastic force source when moving up and down as keycap 36 relative base plates 30, wherein, elastic component 40 can preferably be a rubber washer (rubber dome), but not as limit.In addition, have the switch (not shown) corresponding with button 3 on the circuit board 32, for example thin film switch (membrane switch) or other triggering property switch are when button 3 is pressed, switch on the elastic component 40 meeting trigger circuit plates 32, and then carry out the function that user institute desire is imported.
As shown in Figure 2, keycap 36 more comprises main body 364 and photic zone 366.Main body 364 is arranged at the top of luminescence unit 34, and photic zone 366 is arranged on the position of main body 364 corresponding luminescence units 34 in the mode that is doped with fluorescent powder 368, in this embodiment, photic zone 366 preferably be arranged at luminescence unit 34 directly over, and photic zone 366 preferably is made up of the printing opacity plastic material, and the invisible light that is used for allowing luminescence unit 34 to be sent passes through.Thus, the invisible light that is sent when luminescence unit 34 is during by photic zone 366, and the fluorescent powders 368 that mixed in the photic zone 366 can be excited by invisible light and produce visible light, and then reaches the effect that makes button 3 luminous.In addition, from the above, the light that luminescence unit 34 is sent is invisible light, therefore, even the part invisible light that luminescence unit 34 sent is from the structure interval scattering of button 3 and go out, but because this a part of invisible light is not discovered by the user so can not produce visible light not by fluorescent powder 368.
What deserves to be mentioned is, the composition material of the main body 364 of keycap 36 is optionally identical or different with the composition material of photic zone 366, and main body 364 is also optionally one-body molded with the mode that is doped with fluorescent powder 368 or the mode that undopes fluorescent powder 368 and photic zone 366.For instance, the composition material of main body 364 can different with the composition material of photic zone 366 (as the non-light transmittance plastic materials), and one-body molded with photic zone 366 in the mode of extra quality ejaculation, use the regional irradiative effect that is created in only corresponding photic zone 366 on the keycap 36; Perhaps, main body 364 also can be selected composition material and mode and photic zone 366 ejection formations to be doped with fluorescent powder 368 identical with photic zone 366 for use, to replace above-mentioned extra quality jetting process, and then the manufacturing process of simplification keycap 36, and produce keycap 36 simultaneously can whole luminous effect, be noted that, under this design, also can be coated with light tight material further on the surface of the main body 364 of keycap 36, preventing that the invisible light that luminescence unit 34 sent from by the fluorescent powders 368 in the main body 364 main body 364 luminous situations take place, thereby reach the regional irradiative purpose of only corresponding photic zone 366 on keycap 36.In main body 364 lip-deep technology, it is common in the prior art, so repeat no more in this as for the light tight material of coating.
In sum, the utility model utilizes luminescence unit to send the mode of invisible light by photic zone, produces visible light to excite the fluorescent powder that is doped in the photic zone, and then makes button luminous.In addition, if the part invisible light that luminescence unit sent is from the structure interval scattering of button and go out, then because this a part of invisible light does not pass through the fluorescent powder, do not discovered by the user so can not produce visible light, so the utility model can effectively solve mentioned in the prior art button light leak problem, take place thereby reach the purpose of improving the button illumination effect and avoid the user uncomfortable situation visually to occur.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and all equalizations of being done according to the utility model claim change and modify, and all should belong to covering scope of the present utility model.
