Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of keyboard one embodiment of the present utility model.Keyboard 3 has a plurality of buttons 30 and base plate 34, and the button 30 of keyboard 3 is arranged on the base plate 34, and it can be mechanical key, film key, and with scissor or the elastic component liftable supporter as button.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the exploded perspective view of each assembly of button 30 of the present utility model.Button 30 comprises keycap 40, base plate 34 and liftable supporter 32.Keycap 40 is arranged on base plate 34, liftable supporter 32 is arranged between keycap 40 and the base plate 34, in order to support and the restoring force that provides keycap 40 to move both vertically, when making keycap 40 pressurizeds downward, base plate 34 supports answer upwards vertically downward and by liftable supporter 32 relatively.
In the utility model, keycap 40 comprises cap 42 and frame 44, and cap 42 is two stand-alone assemblies with frame 44, can make respectively, and material that can be identical or different and manufacture is made.The cap 42 of keycap 40 is plate-like structure, and in embodiment of the present utility model, cap 42 can be made of stainless steel, aluminium or plastic material.And because the kind of spendable material has diversity, can further control the thickness of cap 42, make its thickness be not more than 0.4 millimeter, preferably between 0.2 millimeter～0.4 millimeter, the intensity that still can possess cap 42 simultaneously.
44 on frame is fixed in a side of cap 42, and it can stick together or the mode of embedded moulding (insert molding) and cap 42 is fixing.Frame 44 is the structure of hollow in the utility model, and it has hollow framework 440, the first cell body 441 and the second cell body 442.Frame 44 is used as the primary structure that cooperates with liftable supporter 32 in the keycap 40.As shown in Figure 3, the first cell body 441 and the second cell body 442 are separately positioned on the side 445,446 of framework 440, in the present embodiment, the first cell body 441 extends on the side 445 or side 445 and side 447,448 adjacent corners on, the second cell body 442 extends on the side 446 or side 446 and side 447,448 adjacent corners on.
Please in the lump with reference to figure 4, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of the keycap 40 of Fig. 3.As shown in Figure 4, after the cap 42 of keycap 40 and frame 44 are in conjunction with shape all-in-one-piece keycap 40, form the first chute 443 between the first cell body 441 of frame 44 and the cap 42, and formation the second chute 444 between the second cell body 442 and the cap 42.In the present embodiment, because the first cell body 441 and the second cell body 442 be for extending the side 445 of framework 440,446 L-type structure, thus its with cap 42 between the first chute 443 of forming and the second chute 444 be the first strutting piece 321 and 322 slips of the second strutting piece that can supply liftable supporter 32 part is set.More particularly, the first sliding part 324 of the first strutting piece 321 of liftable supporter 32 namely is arranged in the first chute 443 slidably, and the second sliding part 326 of the second strutting piece 322 namely is arranged in the second chute 444 slidably.When liftable supporter 32 sank because of the cause of keycap 40 pressurizeds, the first sliding part 324 can be in the 443 interior slips of the first chute, and the second sliding part 326 is then in the 444 interior slips of the second chute.
Except embodiment shown in Figure 3, in other embodiment of the utility model, two strutting pieces in the liftable supporter 32 respectively from base plate 34 and keycap 40 between combining form also can be different sliding parts and chute, or the combination of articulated section and draw-in groove.For example, the second cell body 442 its structures that extend framework 440 on the frame 44 of keycap 40 also can form the first draw-in groove with cap 42, then have the second articulated section on the second strutting piece 322 that cooperates with it, are articulated in rotationally in this first draw-in groove.When liftable supporter 32 sank because of the cause of keycap 40 pressurizeds, the first sliding part 324 of the first strutting piece 321 can be in the 443 interior slips of the first chute, and then rotate in this first draw-in groove of keycap 40 this second articulated section of the second strutting piece 322.In addition, in the embodiments of figure 3, the first cell body 441 and the second cell body 442 all are arranged on the corner of framework 440, make the opening of the first cell body 441 toward each other, and the opening of the second cell body 442 is faced each other mutually, and so corresponding the first sliding part 324 and the second sliding part 326 is as shown in the figure " outwards " outstanding column structure.Yet the first cell body 441 or the second cell body 442 also can be in being arranged on corresponding side 445 or the side 446 than the position away from the corner, and the opening that makes the first cell body 441 (or second cell body 442) is respectively towards side 447 and side 448, and so corresponding the first sliding part 324 and 326 of the second sliding parts presents " inwardly " column structure given prominence to.This is several possible form of implementation of enumerating out, and other various transformable forms also can be analogized, and do not repeat them here.
Button of the present utility model and the keyboard with these buttons, utilization with in the keycap of each button in order to be pressed and the terrace cap part of incrustation, and the liftable supporter in button is combined the frame of interlock and the cell body that comprises and is split up into two assemblies, make cap form plate-like structure and can the stronger material of structure make and have the cap that still possesses intensity than minimal thickness simultaneously, and frame and the cell body that comprises be fixed on the cap with embedded moulding or the mode pasted again, has the button cap structure of thin terrace with formation.And chute or the notch of the common formation of the cell body on the frame and cap and liftable supporter interlock.Possessing required the pressing the stroke while of button, effectively reducing the sky face thickness of keycap cap, to meet under the electronic installation slimming demand, its keyboard also carries out the design of slimming.
The utility model is described by above-mentioned related embodiment, yet above-described embodiment is only for implementing example of the present utility model.Must be pointed out that the embodiment that has disclosed does not limit the scope of this utility model.On the contrary, the change of doing within not breaking away from spirit and scope of the present utility model and retouching all belong to scope of patent protection of the present utility model.
