Embodiment
Refer to Fig. 1, the schematic diagram of the keyboard that Fig. 1 is the utility model embodiment.Keyboard 10 includes base plate 12 and a plurality of button 14.Base plate 12 can be a monolithic metal, and 14 of a plurality of buttons are separately positioned on base plate 12.Refer to Fig. 2, the element exploded perspective view of the button that Fig. 2 is the utility model embodiment.Take one of them button 14 is example, and button 14 includes keycap 16, balancing pole 18, supports module 22 and film circuit board 24.Balancing pole 18 has the first section 181 and the second section 183, the first sections 181 are articulated on keycap 16, and the second section 183 that is different from the first section 181 on balancing pole 18 is embedded on base plate 12 movably.Balancing pole 18 can be used to increase the integral rigidity of keycap 16, and the start while making button 14 press is more smooth and easy.
The structure of balancing pole 18 is determined according to the type of button 14.In general, balancing pole 18 can be a U-shaped structure (as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4).The zone line of U-shaped structure can be the first section 181, by a fastening end (being shown in figure), is not articulated on keycap 16; The two ends of U-shaped structure are the second section 183, by an axis hole (not being shown in figure), are arranged on movably on base plate 12.Thus, when the keycap 16 of button 14, during by pressed by external force, the first section 181 of balancing pole 18 and the second section 183 can correspondingly rotate with respect to keycap 16 and base plate 12, and external force are distributed to equably to each position on keycap 16 surfaces.Except U-shaped structure, balancing pole 18 can also be other shapes, and as be similar to the structure of rectangle in Fig. 5, the user can select the structure of balancing pole 18 according to actual needs voluntarily, not as limit.
In addition, support module 22 and include elastomer 221 and supporting member 223, elastomer 221 and supporting member 223 are arranged at respectively between keycap 16 and base plate 12.Elastomer 221 can be by being comprised of elastomeric material, and supporting member 223 can be a scissor leg structure, and support keycap 16 in elastomer 221 process that can move relative to base plate 12 in keycap 16 with supporting member 223.24 of film circuit boards can be arranged between elastomer 221 and base plate 12.When the user applies pressure to keycap 16, keycap 16 can drive elastomer 221 malformations, so that elastomer 221 can touch film circuit board 24 and produce a driving signal.
Refer to Fig. 3, the group of the button that Fig. 3 is the utility model embodiment is found schematic diagram.Due to the user, in pressing keys 14 processes, balancing pole 18 meetings occur to clash into keycap 16 and base plate 12 and contact, and to drive keycap 16 base plate 12 generation vertical displacement campaigns relatively reposefully, therefore button of the present utility model also comprises at least one buffer element 20.Buffer element 20 is arranged on balancing pole 18, and is positioned on the position that balancing pole 18 need to contact with base plate 12 or keycap 16.The material of buffer element 20 can be soft materials, therefore balancing pole 18 can directly not clash into base plate 12 or keycap 16, but sees through buffer element 20 contact base plates 12 and keycaps 16, thereby absorbing vibration and the noise that produces while reducing collision effectively.Moreover, the quantity of buffer element 20 can be one or more, that is buffer element 20 can be arranged on separately the one or more zones on balancing pole 18, or select synchronously to be arranged on base plate 12 and keycap 16 position corresponding to balancing pole 18, Promoting Layered Buffer and noise abatement usefulness by this.
It is worth mentioning that, it is example that the buffer element 20 of take is arranged on separately on balancing pole 18, and buffer element 20 can be arranged on by the mode of following different embodiment on balancing pole 18.For instance, balancing pole 18 can first carry out surface treatment before button 14 assemblings, makes Surface Creation one structure sheaf of balancing pole 18, usings as buffer element 20 described in the utility model.In addition, the user can also be in keycap 16 or base plate 12 this structure sheaf of Surface Creation corresponding to the position of balancing pole 18, if the user is chosen in base plate 12 or keycap 16 carries out surface treatment to produce this structure sheaf, it is described that the manufacture of its structure sheaf and generation position can be not limited to previous embodiment, the user can select according to actual needs voluntarily, does not separately repeat.Refer to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the schematic diagram that Fig. 4 is another embodiment of balancing pole in the utility model button, the schematic diagram that Fig. 5 is the another embodiment of balancing pole in the utility model button.Balancing pole 18 visual structure design requirements that button 10 is used and the different form of multiple types is arranged, buffer element 20 is arranged on the position of corresponding base plate 12 on balancing pole 18 or keycap 16, reaching absorbing vibration, reduce the effect of noise.
In addition, the mode that buffer element 20 also can be selected to be coated with is arranged on base plate 12, keycap 16 or balancing pole 18.Specifically, the polymer material layer that buffer element 20 can be the coat of paint, leather layer, plastic layer or is comprised of fluorocarbon polymer, strain moderately occurs for absorbing ambient pressure in its common trait.Therefore, buffer element 20 can synchronously be sprayed on balancing pole 18 or base plate 12 or keycap 16 in the manufacturing process of each assembly of button 14, perhaps buffer element 20 is when assembling button 14, just look design requirement and pack, smear and be installed to balancing pole 18 or base plate 12 or keycap 16, the user can select according to actual needs voluntarily, not as limit.
The embodiment that buffer element 20 is coated balancing pole 18 can, with reference to earlier figures 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, separately not repeat in this.Refer to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the schematic diagram of the keycap that Fig. 6 is another embodiment of the utility model, the schematic diagram of the base plate that Fig. 7 is the another embodiment of the utility model.As shown in Figure 6, buffer element 20 can be coated on the position that keycap 16 inner faces correspond to the first section 181 of balancing pole 18, so when balancing pole 18 collision keycap 16, just can be by buffer element 20 absorbing vibrations that are arranged at therebetween.As shown in Figure 7, buffer element 20 also can be coated on base plate 12 in order to around parts of the second section 183 of pivot joint balancing pole 18, makes balancing pole 18 when clashing into base plate 12, and the buffer element 20 that is arranged on base plate 12 surfaces can directly absorb it and clash into strength.
Comprehensive, the utility model arranges balancing pole between keycap and base plate, makes the rigidity of button integral body increase, and structural strength is stablized tough more, and the start while making button press is more smooth and easy.
In addition, the utility model arranges the buffer element with elastic deformation characteristic on the balancing pole of button, or only in keycap, buffer element is set, or only in base plate, buffer element is set.Buffer element can be in the operating process of button effectively absorbing vibration with clash into strength, therefore can be by the direct collision of avoiding balancing pole and base plate and keycap, significantly reduce the noise that the button operation process produces, so that the comfortable keyboard environment for use of user and button operation feel preferably to be provided.
Certainly; the utility model also can have other various embodiments; in the situation that do not deviate from the utility model spirit and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the utility model, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the utility model.
