Embodiment

First embodiment

Please with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3; Fig. 1 illustrates the sketch map according to the keyboard of the utility model first embodiment; Fig. 2 A illustrates the sketch map of framework of one of them button of the keyboard among Fig. 1; Fig. 2 B illustrates the sketch map of keycap of one of them button of the keyboard among Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 illustrates the end view of one of them button of the keyboard among Fig. 1.

Keyboard 100 comprises end part 110 and a plurality of button 130.These a plurality of buttons 130 are disposed on the end part 110.Each button 130 respectively comprises framework 131, elastomer 133 and keycap 135.Framework 131 is positioned on the end part 110, and has the cell body of running through 131h.Elastomer 133 is positioned on the end part 110, and the position of elastomer 133 is corresponding to the position of running through cell body 131h.Keycap 135 is coupled to framework 131 movably, and is positioned at and runs through cell body 131h.Keycap 135 is connected on the elastomer 133.

When the user past-when the Z direction was pushed keycap 135, keycap 135 moved towards-Z direction with respect to framework 131 and causes elastomer 133 deformation.When the user stopped to push keycap 135, elastomer 133+Z direction pushing and pressing keycaps 135 past by the elastic force of self made keycap 135 return to initial position.Thus, because button 130 moving and need not to use the scissors leg structure on the Z direction, so the thickness of button 130 can reduce, to meet the demand of slimming now.

In present embodiment, framework 131 has open recess 135h with wherein one (for example being keycap 135) of keycap 135, and the opposing party's (for example being framework 131) of framework 131 and keycap 135 has projection 131c.This sentences keycap 135 and has three open recess 135h and framework 131 to have three projection 131c be the example explanation.These three projection 131c pass through these three open recess 135h respectively, to avoid the direction displacement of keycap 135 beyond the Z direction.In addition, keycap 135 has the situation of perk when pushing keycap 135 in order further to reduce the user, and these three open recess 135h lay respectively at the different side of keycap 135, and these three projection 131c lay respectively at the different side of framework 131.

In addition, please with reference to Fig. 4, it illustrates the explosive view of one of them button of the keyboard among Fig. 1.In order clearly to illustrate the position of element, subelement is not illustrated among Fig. 4.The end part 110 of present embodiment has two position limiting structures 111.These two position limiting structures 111 and respectively have and pass through a mouthful 111h against each other.Button 130 more comprises a supplementary structure 137, and supplementary structure 137 has ㄇ shape bar 137a, the first bar 137b1 and the second bar 137b2.ㄇ shape bar 137a is articulated in keycap 135.The first bar 137b1 and the second bar 137b2 extend from the two ends of ㄇ shape bar 137a toward each other, and pass through mouthful 111h of two position limiting structures 111 respectively.Thus, when button 130 is microscler structure, keycap 135 persons of being used push maybe perk or unstable situation then can avoid.

Though present embodiment is three and to lay respectively at different side be example with the quantity of open recess and projection; Yet those skilled in the art should understand, and are positioned at different side and can reach the situation that reduces keycap 135 perks as long as at least two open recesses are positioned at different side and at least two projections.That is to say that the quantity of open recess and projection and position can adjust and change according to demand again.Moreover open recess also can be positioned at framework, and projection also can be positioned at keycap, so that keycap and framework can firmly be located to each other.In addition, the framework 131 of each button 130 can for example be to interconnect and one-body molded.

Second embodiment

Please with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, Fig. 5 illustrates the sketch map according to the keycap of the utility model second embodiment, and Fig. 6 illustrates the end view of the button with the keycap among Fig. 5.

Compared to first embodiment, the structure of the keycap 235 of the button 230 of present embodiment is different.Further, keycap 235 has closed port 235h, makes the projection 131c of framework 131 pass through the closed port 235h of keycap 235, to avoid the situation of the direction displacement of keycap 235 beyond the z direction.Because the structure of the button 230 of present embodiment and the structure and the configuration of the button 130 that configuration is similar to first embodiment, so button 230 can have the advantage that is similar to button 130.

According to the button of the utility model the foregoing description and use the keyboard of this button, what it saw through framework, elastomer and keycap cooperates to come simplified structure, and meets the demand of slimming.Thus, according to the button of the utility model the foregoing description or the manufacturing complexity of using the keyboard of this button can reduce and cost can reduce, to increase the market competitiveness.

In sum, though the utility model discloses as above with embodiment, the foregoing description is not in order to limit the utility model.The utility model person of ordinary skill in the field is in spirit that does not break away from the utility model and scope, when doing various changes and retouching.Therefore, the protection range of the utility model limits with claims and is as the criterion.
