Description

Keyboard module with waterproof construction

Relate to the field

The utility model is relevant for the structure of keyboard module, especially refer to a kind of keyboard module with waterproof construction, it is applicable on the electronic installation (as: notebook computer), under the framework of the original member of this keyboard module, directly a supporter to be done one and change, its advantage is, do not increase this keyboard module cost and thickness thereof, can increase simultaneously the intensity of this supporter, can avoid extraneous liquid to flow directly in the system of this device again, cause the left alone without help machine of this device.

Background technology

Press, so-called now e is in the epoch in century, because information flow is quick, people to the demand of information with exchange more and more big, therefore, electronic installation just is widely used in all trades and professions, be widely used especially with portable type especially, and become already many people live the custom in indispensable some.

Yet, the portable electronic equipment (as: notebook computer) that present respectively this design dealer is researched and developed, and the relevant machine of deriving are often on the waterproof problem of its keyboard, there is no special design, even if having, also mostly increase other members on the bottom of this keyboard, its shortcoming is, increase the cost of this keyboard module relatively, simultaneously, also will cause the thickness of this keyboard module thicker, and not meet present electronic installation all towards frivolous, short and small designer trends.

Moreover, the way of just present this keyboard, for instance, consult Fig. 1, shown in 2, this keyboard 1 is respectively by a plurality of buttons 10, one is X-shaped movable part 11, one conductive rubber 12 (Rubber), one supporter 13 (Support) and an insulating trip 14 (Mylar) are formed, wherein the bottom of these buttons 10 is respectively to should movable part 11, and be connected with the one end, the other end of these movable parts 11 then is connected with this conductive rubber 12 and this supporter 13 respectively, when these buttons 10 are pressed, can be by an intersection hinge portion 111 effects of X-shaped that this movable part 11 is, make these buttons 10 move down, and contact with this conductive rubber 12, to reach the purpose that its signal transmits, and setting by this supporter 13, can support all composition members of this keyboard 1, and this supporter 13 generally is all the dull and stereotyped iron plate of a slice, simultaneously, the bottom of this supporter 13 then is coated with insulating trip 14, when keyboard 1 is installed in this electronic installation, can form a non-conductive effect of insulation with other electronic component (not shown) in this device; So, promptly constitute traditional keyboard 1 structure.

Above-mentioned keyboard 1 structure of having only the dull and stereotyped iron plate of a slice as supporter 13, it there is no the practice of particular design all around, and the one shortcoming is that the intensity of this supporter 13 is also not enough, is easy to generate the distortion warpage;

Its two shortcoming is that when the liquid (as: water, coffee) in the external world flows on this keyboard 1 accidentally, this liquid will directly leak out in the system of this device, cause the left alone without help machine of this device; So,, simultaneously, also will cause puzzlement, therefore improved necessity arranged in fact the user with reducing the practicality of this electronic installation.

In sum, above-mentioned traditional electronic devices there is no special design on the waterproof problem of its keyboard, cause the supporter insufficient strength in this keyboard, be easy to generate outside the distortion warpage, when extraneous liquid flows on this keyboard accidentally, will directly leak out in the system of this device exactly, cause the left alone without help machine of device, even if on waterproof problem, handle to some extent, but its shortcoming is, increases this keyboard cost relatively, and causes shortcomings such as the thickness of this keyboard is thicker.

Summary of the invention

Main purpose of the present utility model, be to provide a kind of keyboard module with waterproof construction, and under the framework of the original member of keyboard module, directly this supporter being done one changes, by change to supporter, not only can reduce outside keyboard cost and the thickness thereof, can increase simultaneously the intensity of supporter again, with the left alone without help machine avoiding extraneous liquid to flow directly into causing device in the system of this device etc.

The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a kind of keyboard module with waterproof construction, comprise: a plurality of buttons, a plurality of movable parts that are X-shaped, the one end is connected with the bottom of button respectively, one conductive rubber is connected with the other end of movable part, this button can move down by an intersection hinge portion of X-shaped that movable part is, and contact with a conductive rubber, these buttons of one support member, movable part and conductive rubber, one insulating trip is located at the bottom of supporter, this keyboard module is installed in this electronic installation, forms insulating effect by other electronic components in this insulating trip and this device; It is characterized in that: this supporter is at four peripheral regions that support these buttons, and upwards the orthogonal bending is provided with the flange of a suitable height.Wherein:

Above-mentioned supporter is that a section is U sections plate.

Above-mentioned electronic installation is a notebook computer.

Because supporter of the present utility model is at four peripheral regions that support these buttons, upwards the orthogonal bending is provided with the flange of a suitable height, the setting of these flanges, not only can increase the intensity of this supporter, simultaneously can be within it with the liquid barrier of extraneous seepage, and unlikely directly leaking out in this device caused the left alone without help machine of this device, so can effectively solve the every shortcoming described in the Prior Art.
