Definitions
- the invention relates to a keyboard comprising at least one push switch and a key for operating the switch. It relates to taking into account the geometric dispersions of the keyboard, lengthening the stroke of the key and improving the tactile sensation when pressing the key to operate the switch.
- the invention finds particular, but not exclusive, utility in a dashboard of an aircraft.
- a keypad When it is intended for a dashboard of an aircraft, but also for other areas, a keypad must meet a number of constraints, in particular dimensional constraints.
- a first constraint is the tolerance on the key override. The difference in height between the upper surface of the key and the fixed surface of the keyboard is called the key overhang. This tolerance is generally low, of the order of two to three tenths of a millimeter.
- a second constraint relates to the stroke of the key. This race must generally be between seven and ten tenths of a millimeter depending on the application.
- a third constraint relates to the effort to be applied to a key in order to actuate the switch. The effort is for example five or six newtons with a tolerance around a newton.
- a fourth constraint may also relate to the switch maneuverability, that is to say the tactile sensation provided when pressing a key. This sensation is notably related to the resistance opposed by the key when it is stressed and the resistance break observed when the switch goes from the open state to the closed state. This feeling is important to ensure reliable feedback to the operator operating the key.
- the keyboard then comprises at least one front face, a printed circuit forming a support and a diffuser interposed between the front face and the printed circuit.
- the keyboard may further include sealing elements between the fixed part and the movable part, that is to say the key or keys.
- the assembly of the different parts of the keyboard causes a geometric dispersion generally of the same order of magnitude as the stroke of the key and the tolerance on exceeding the key.
- the geometric dispersion is usually between six and ten tenths of a millimeter depending on the tolerances of the parts and the care taken in mounting the keyboard.
- the push switches have insufficient travel to achieve the minimum stroke required for the key.
- the stroke of a dome switch is rarely more than three tenths of a millimeter. Even for a switch incorporating elastomers, the stroke is generally less than seven tenths of a millimeter. Therefore, it is generally not possible to make a rigid connection between the key and the moving part of the switch.
- FIG 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a keyboard in a sectional view of a portion of the keyboard in a plane passing through a key.
- the keyboard comprises a printed circuit 10 forming a support, a front face 11 fixedly secured to the printed circuit 10 by means of a plate 12 and a push-button switch 13 mounted on the printed circuit board 10.
- the pushbutton switch 13 is for example a switch of the type called “dome” or “blistering", that is to say where the switching is effected by deflection of a conductive elastic blister dome against two conductors to connect. This type of switch is known in the Anglo-Saxon literature as the "dome switch”.
- the front face 11 and the plate 12 comprise an opening 14 allowing a key 15 to translate along an axis X and to operate the switch 13.
- the tolerance of greater than 16 key 15 is guaranteed by a plating of the key 15 against the front face 11.
- This plating can be achieved by a spring 17 prestressed between the key 15 and the assembly consisting of the printed circuit 10, the front face 1 1 and the plate 12.
- the spring 17 can be supported on a internal flange 18 made on the plate 12.
- the stroke of the key 15 may be limited on the opposite side to the switch 13 by the support of a shoulder 20 made on the key 15 against the bottom of a countersink 19 made on the front face 1 1.
- the minimum stroke of the key may in turn be guaranteed by the existence of a clearance 21 between the lower end 151 of the key 15 and the switch 13.
- FIG. 2 represents, in the form of a graph, the evolution of a force applied to the key 15 as a function of a stroke of this key 15 for the first exemplary embodiment.
- the key 15 moves along the X axis, the origin O of the race being determined by the rest position, that is to say when the key is not stressed and that it is pressed against the bottom of the countersink 19. It is also considered that the force is applied to the key 15 along the X axis towards the switch 13.
- the evolution of the force as a function of the stroke is represented by a curve 24.
- a first portion 241 of this curve 24 is represented by a positive slope line.
- This portion 241 corresponds to the biasing of the spring 17 alone, the slope of the straight line corresponding to the stiffness of the spring 17.
- the lower end 151 of the key 15 comes into contact with the moving part of the switch 13.
- the stiffness of the switch 13 is then added to the stiffness of the spring 17.
- the accumulation of the stiffness of the spring 17 and the switch 13 is translated into a second part 242 curve 24 represented by a line of steeper slope and therefore by a discontinuity of the variation of the force for the running point Ci.
- a third portion 243 of the curve 24 may be represented by a convex curve portion. This part 243 corresponds to the beginning of the deflection of the switch 13 and includes the point of maximum effort F max that can be applied to the key 15 before the switch 13 establishes an electrical contact. This maximum effort F max occurs for a race point C 2 .
- a fourth portion 244 of the curve 24 may be represented by a portion of concave curve, the force falling abruptly after the crossing of the travel point C 2 . This portion 244 corresponds to the further deflection of the switch 13.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a second example envisaged by the applicant for producing a keyboard in a sectional view similar to FIG. 1.
- the tolerance of greater than 16 of a key is also guaranteed by a plating. of the key 15 against the front face 1 1.
- the plating is performed by a deformable element, called plunger 31, preloaded between the lower end 151 of the key 15 and the switch 13.
- the plunger 31 consists for example in a cylinder of revolution.
- FIG. 4 represents, in the form of a graph similar to FIG. 2, the evolution of the force applied to the key 15 as a function of its travel for the second exemplary embodiment.
- a first curve 41 represents the evolution of the force for a plunger 31 with low stiffness and a second curve 42 represents the evolution of the effort for a plunger 31 with greater stiffness.
- the race points C 2 and C 4 defined above are considered identical for the two curves 41 and 42.
- the running point C 3 is marked C 31 for the curve 41 and C 32 for the curve 42.
- second embodiment eliminates the clearance 21 between the lower end 151 of the key 15 and the switch 13. As a result, there is no break in stiffness when actuating the key 15 between the origin O and the race point C 2 .
- this second embodiment allows to a certain extent to lengthen the race of the key 15 and absorb the geometric dispersions of the assembly.
- the lengthening of the stroke of the key 15 and the absorption capacity of the dispersions are favored by a low stiffness of the plunger 31, which then easily deforms between the key 15 and the switch 13.
- a plunger 31 with a low stiffness has a less good tactile sensation.
- the tactile sensation associated with the transition of the switch 13 from the open position to the closed position can be represented by the ratio R between the force difference ⁇ F between the minimum forces F min and maximum F max and the travel difference ⁇ C between race points C 2 and C 3 .
- the ratio R can be defined by the following relation: _ Fmax - Fmin _ ⁇ F
- This phenomenon is related to a faster return of the energy stored in a plunger 31 with high stiffness than in a plunger 31 low stiffness.
- the switch 13 may not be operated with a plunger 31 low stiffness. Indeed, the plunger 31 may deform in flexion and store energy without being able to restore it along the X axis to activate the switch 13.
- this second embodiment a compromise must be found on the stiffness of the plunger 31 to, on the one hand, have a sufficient capacity for elongation and absorption of the dispersions and, on the other hand, to guarantee the activation of the switch 13 when pressing off-center on the key 15.
- this second example of embodiment is especially adapted to a weak lengthening the travel of the switch 13 and requires an adaptation of the length of each plunger 31 to the geometric dispersions of the keyboard at each key 15.
- the individual adjustment of the lengths of plungers 31 is obviously expensive and makes this implementation inappropriate to a mass production of keyboards.
- An object of the invention is in particular to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a simple keyboard whose keys 15 have a long stroke and a good tactile sensation.
- the subject of the invention is a keyboard comprising a push-button switch, a button for operating the push-button switch along a translation axis and a plunger interposed between the button and the switch.
- a rigidity of the plunger along the axis of translation increases continuously with an increase in the compression of the plunger.
- the invention has the particular advantage that it allows to combine the advantages of a keyboard with a low stiffness plunger with those of a keyboard with a high stiffness plunger for low production cost.

- FIG. 5 represents an exemplary embodiment of a keyboard according to the invention in a sectional view similar to FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the keyboard according to the invention is similar to the second exemplary embodiment, the main difference relating to the plunger 31 .
- the stiffness of the plunger 31 along the axis X increases continuously when the button 15 is pressed before the switch 13 is actuated.
- the stiffness of the plunger 31 increases with increasing pressure.
- the stiffness of the plunger 31 increases continuously until reaching a given compression point, the stiffness remaining constant at beyond this point of compression. This particular embodiment makes it possible to obtain a better tactile sensation.
- the plunger 31 is for example made of a single piece of homogeneous material.
- the plunger 31 can thus be produced by molding in a very economical manner.
- the material is advantageously an elastomer such as silicone.
- the hardness of the The elastomer may be between 60 and 80 Shore A. It is for example 70 Shore A.
- the present description relates to a keyboard with a single key 15.
- the keyboard may comprise several keys 15 and, in particular, a plunger 31 as described above for each key 15 of the keyboard.

- the plunger 31 is prestressed between the lower end 151 of the key 15 and the switch 13, the ordinate to the origin F 0 of the curve 61 being greater than zero. It is also possible to see that, on a first portion 61 1 of the curve 61, the stiffness of the key 15, represented by the slope of the curve 61, increases progressively without discontinuity.
- the difference in stroke ⁇ C between the race points C 2 and C 3 is of the same order of magnitude as the difference in stroke ⁇ C 2 observed for a plunger 31 with high stiffness. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that, just before the deflection of the switch 13, the plunger 31 is strongly compressed and is thus characterized by a high stiffness. Therefore, the ratio R is important and the key 15 has a good tactile sensation.
- the plunger 31 has two distinct constant stiffnesses. In this case, it has a low stiffness ki at the beginning of compression and stiffness stronger k 2 at the end of compression.
- the low stiffness k- allows, by its high deformation capacity, to absorb the geometric dispersions and lengthen the stroke of the key, and the high stiffness k 2 provides a good tactile sensation.
- a plunger 31 whose stiffness increases with its compression can in particular be made by a suitable shape of the plunger 31.

- the relative heights of the lug 152 and the recess 63 along the X axis are determined so as to leave a gap 63b between the lug 152 and the bottom of the recess 63.
- the height of this empty space 63b is for example between five and fifteen tenths of a millimeter for a total height of the plunger 31 for example between three and four millimeters.
- the height of the void space 63b is determined by a calculation of the average geometric dispersion of the keyboard assembly and the knowledge of the key stroke required. It is the presence of the empty space 63 which makes it possible to modify the stiffness of the plunger 31 with its compression.
- FIG. 7 represents, in the form of a graph similar to the graphs of FIGS. 2, 4 and 6, the evolution of the force applied to a key of the keyboard of FIG. 5 as a function of its travel for the second embodiment of the invention.
