The actuator, which is used for being pressed, will return to its normal body to allow the key body to return to its normal one. The key described above is advantageous in that the first and second link members do not start with an "X The forms intersect to provide a simplified link guide assembly. However, since the conventional press disclosed in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette is provided with a rubber actuator, the button will inevitably become larger. Moreover, since the key requires an additional rubber actuator made separately from the link members, the manufacturing process will be very complicated. In addition, since the button system uses an actuator, and the actuator system is configured to press only with a fork and provide only a linear repulsive force to the key body, it cannot form an acceptable click feeling. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has kept the above problems in the prior art in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a key, in which a plurality of link members of a link group assembly are provided at a connecting portion thereof. There is a connecting groove and a protruding piece as a rotating shaft to simplify the structure of the link assembly, and the link assembly and the device for returning a keyboard key body are integrated into one The ground is formed to achieve an acceptable click feel and a compact button. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a button, which includes

The bracket 40 is provided with a hinge hook 41 capable of spraying the link assembly 20 hinge projection 29 to prevent the link assembly 20 from being separated from the bracket 40. Further, the bracket 40 is formed with a plurality of receiving holes to receive the link members 2 丨 and 22 therein. Fate yes. When the arm members 21 and 22 of the link members 21 and 22 are lowered by pressing down the key body 10, the link members 2 and 2 of the link assembly 2 will be completely accommodated in The receiving hole of the bracket 40 can reduce the total height of the final button. Now referring to Figs. 4A to 4C, an up and down movement of a key according to the present invention will be described. Figure 4A shows the key body 10. Since the key body 10 does not bear a thrust force, it can be positioned at the uppermost horizontal position by the rebound of the leaf spring 23. In this case, the key body positioning projections 2 7 are positioned at the inner and lower ends of the link guide holes 12. When a thrust force is applied to the key body 10, the supporting spherical protrusions 28 engaging the link group supporting cutouts i3 will rotate downward. In this way, the biasing force of the blade impingement 23 and the rebound force of the connecting rod assembly 20 can be further strengthened. As shown in FIG. 4B, 'When the relative connection points (psi and ps2) of the leaf spring 23 and the rotation axis point (PS) are arranged on a straight line, the lift force of the link assembly is 20% (violating the key Body lift) will suddenly decrease and therefore provide

Next, the key body 10 will contact the bracket 40 to prevent the key body lj) from further descending, as shown in FIG. 4C. At this time, the contact protrusion 23s (refer to FIG. 3) of the blade bounce sauce 2 / will push Fpc 30, so that 硪 = one key input signal. At the same time, since the leaf spring 23 is bent into an inverted shape opposite to one of its normal shape, the lifting force acting on the connecting rod assembly 20 must be further increased. § When the thrust is released from the key body 10, the key body 0 and the link assembly 20 will return to their initial normal positions, as shown in Figure 4A. Now referring to FIGS. 5 to 7 to explain the principle of providing a click feeling and a restoring force by the keys according to the present invention. FIG. 5 shows the arm piece 24 (psi) of the first link member 21, the arm piece 24 (PS2) of the second link member 22, and the rotary protrusion 26 (PS), where these are positioned at One is the initial normal state (Figure 5A), one is the falling state (Figure 5B), and one is the lowest state (Figure%). In the initial state (FIG. 5A), a point (psi) indicating the arm member 24 of the first link member 21 and a point (PS2) indicating the arm member 24 of the second link member 22 will be positioned at the indicating rotation protrusion 26 Point (ps) above, and thus defines an inverted triangle. When the link members 21 and 22 are rotated downward, the length of a line segment defined between the point (PS1) and the point (PS2) will change, and at the same time a line defined between the point (PS1) and the point (PS) The segment and a line segment defined between the point (PS2) and the point (ps) will maintain a fixed length. The length change of the line segment (PS1-PS2) is caused by the arched leaf spring deforming into a linear state and a part of the arm member 24 connected to the leaf spring being bent and deformed. In Fig. 5A, which shows an initial state of one of the keys according to the present invention,

Description of the invention (ίο) 'It appears a force (F 1), which is caused by the springback force caused by the initial deformation of the leaf spring 23 and a part of the arm member 24 (resistance to one of these deformations) resistance). The magnitude of F1 is proportional to the length of a line segment (PS1-PS2), where the length can be changed as the first and second link members 21 and 22 rotate downward. The reason is that F1 will rapidly change (increase) during one of the initial decline phases of the bond body 10, and then gradually decrease. When the first and second link members 21 and 22 are rotated to a state such as shown in FIG. 5B, that is, when the points (PS1, PS2, and PS) are arranged on a straight line, the line segment ( psi — ps2) One of the changes in length becomes zero, and one of F1's magnitude is a fixed value. When the key body 10 is further lowered, the line segments (PS1 to PS2) will be reduced, and thus the magnitude of F1 will be reduced. More specifically, when the key body 10 is gradually lowered from its normal state, an n-trend that causes the arm member 24 to return toward the point (ps) indicated as the rotating projection 26 may be generated. F1 will decompose into a component F2, which tends to rotate the point (psi and ps2) upwards. That is, F2 can be expressed by the following equation: F2 = Flsin < 92, where F2 can further decompose a reaction force F3. F3 can be expressed by the following equation: F3 = F2c0S02. When a user pushes down the key body 10, the force felt is F3, and F3 changes according to F2, and the F2 changes by changing one of F1 and one of the link members 21 and 22. In the first two stages, F1 can be rapidly increased by rapidly changing the length of a line segment (psi-ps2), and thus F3 can be rapidly increased. When the rate of change of one of the line segments (PS1-PS2) decreases, the rate of increase must also decrease. When the link members 2 丨 and 22 rotate downward, an angle of 0

Description of the invention (11) ♦ The 1 series will increase moderately while an angle 0 2 will decrease rapidly, making f 2,-_ And therefore F3 decreases rapidly. In a state shown in Figure 5B, where 0 2 becomes zero, the points (PS1, PS2, and PS) are arranged on two straight lines, and a reaction force F3 decomposed from F1 becomes zero, where It is caused by the change of the length of the leaf spring 23 and the deformation of a part of the arm member 24. As a result, the rate of change of F 3 suddenly increases because only one reaction force 'caused by a lifting force generated by the deformation of the leaf spring is left, so that it can provide the user with a feeling of *-^ 17 荅. When the key body 10 is further lowered from one of the positions shown in FIG. 5B, F3 will act as a negative force to pull the key body 10 downward, which can be seen from the% chart _ out 0 if there is no extra at this time To increase the key body 丨 0, the key body 10 will not return to its normal position. When the key body 10 is lowered to its lowest horizontal position shown in FIG. 5C, the contact projection 23s provided at the lower surface of the leaf spring 23 will be connected to the FPC contact portion, so that the leaf spring 23 is rapidly deformed. The reason is that the deformation of the blade 23 will allow the key body 10 to return to its normal position. s Figure 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between 1 Q strikes applied to the key body.
