Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a keyboard input device, and more particularly to a push button module of a keyboard wheel entry device. [Prior Art] Generally, 'existing electronic devices, for example, portable computers, mobile phones, etc.' have a keyboard (Keypad, Keypad, etc.) configured with a light-emitting element and a light-guiding element, for example, a light-emitting diode and a guide. Light board, etc. The light emitted by the illuminating element is transmitted through the light guiding element and is transmitted outward from the button portion of the keyboard, so that the keyboard has the illuminating function to facilitate the user to quickly find the button of the keyboard in a low brightness or dark environment. The keyboard module of the above keyboard has a typical structure including a bottom plate, a film circuit board, an elastic body, a key cap, a light emitting diode, and a light guide plate. The elastic body is disposed between the light guide plate and the keycap to provide a restoring force, so that the keycap can be returned to the initial position after being pressed. The light guide plate and the thin film circuit board are sequentially stacked on the bottom plate, and the light emitting diode is disposed between the bottom plate and the light guide plate. The thin film circuit board is responsive to the pressing action of the corresponding key cap to generate a corresponding signal of the button for subsequent keyboard scanning circuit recognition. The light emitted by the light-emitting diode is transmitted through the light guide plate and transmitted outward from the key cap to produce a light-emitting effect. However, the button module of the above structure is generally disposed below the elastic body because the light guide plate is disposed below the elastic body, so that the overall height of the button module is high, which is disadvantageous for the development of the product in the direction of thinning. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, it is necessary to provide a button module that can effectively reduce the height. The button module includes a key cap, an elastic body and a light guide plate. Elasticity The body is used to elastically support the keycap. The light guide plate is used to transmit light to the keycap to transmit light outward from the keycap. The light guide plate is provided with a first through hole through which the elastic body passes and is in contact with the key cap. A button module includes a key cap, an elastic body and a fixing plate. The elastomer is used to elastically support the keycap. The fixing plate is provided with a first through hole at a position corresponding to the elastic body. The elastomer passes through the first through hole and is in contact with the key cap. A button module includes a key cap, an elastic component and a light guide plate. The elastic member portion is bent to form an elastic body for elastically supporting the keycap. The light guide plate is stacked on a region of the elastic member around the elastic body, and the light guide plate is configured to transmit light to the key cap to transmit light from the key cap, and the light guide plate is provided with a first through hole at a position corresponding to the elastic body. . The elastomer passes through the first through hole and is in contact with the key cap. Q Compared with the prior art, since the elastic body passes through the light guide plate or the fixed plate, the height of the button module can be effectively reduced as compared with the conventional case where the light guide plate or the fixed plate is disposed under the elastic body. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 , a key module 100 of a preferred embodiment mainly includes a key cap 112 , a scissor suspension mechanism 113 , a light guide plate 130 , an elastic component 140 , a thin film circuit board 150 , a spacer 160 , and a motherboard 180 . . The main board 180 is used to stack components such as the spacer 160, the thin film circuit board 150, the elastic member 200952016 140, and the light guide plate 130. - 蝮 Made of a transparent or translucent material to transmit light, or made of an opaque material, printed with transparent characters so that the light-line can be transmitted outward from the transparent character. The consumable suspension mechanism 113 includes first brackets 115 and 117 that cross each other. The ends of the first bracket 115 and the second bracket 117 are pivotally connected to the light guide plate (4) or the keycap 112, and the other end is movably connected to the keycap 112 or the light guide plate 130. When the key Φ comes! ! 〇>, the t-key 11 mesh 112 is pressed and displaced in the first direction perpendicular to the light guiding (four) (as indicated by 〇_χ), or after the external force is released, the second opposite to the first direction When the direction (as shown) is displaced, the keycap 112 can be kept substantially horizontal by the pivotal movement of the first bracket 115 and the second bracket 117. The motherboard 180 is a printed circuit board (PDD), and its surface is formed with a first conductive portion 182, which may be a conductive contact or a conductive line.薄膜 The thin film circuit board 150 is made of an elastic material such as Mylar or the like, which can be elastically deformed by an external force. The thin circuit board 150 is disposed on the motherboard 180, and is provided with a second conductive portion 152 corresponding to the first conductive portion 182 on a surface opposite to the motherboard 18, and the second conductive portion 152 may also be electrically conductive. Contact or conductive wire. The spacer 160 has a suitable thickness and is made of a general plastic material. The spacer 160 is filled between the thin film circuit board 15A and the motherboard 18A for forming a predetermined space between the circuit board 150 and the motherboard 180. When the keycap 112 is not pressed, the first conductive portion ι 82 and the second conductive portion 152 200952016 are insulated by air and do not constitute a conductive path. The spacer 160 defines a first through hole 162 at a position corresponding to the first conductive portion 182 and the second conductive portion 152. The size of the first through hole 162 is slightly larger than the size of the first conductive portion 182 and the second conductive portion 152 to facilitate elastic deformation of the thin film circuit board 150 when the key cap 112 is pressed, so that the second conductive portion 152 Through the first through hole 162, it is in contact with the first conductive portion 182 to form a conductive path 'to generate a signal corresponding to the button. The elastic member 140 is disposed on the thin film circuit board 150, and is partially bent to form a protruding elastic body 142 and a contact portion 144. The elastomer 142 is made of an opaque material. The elastic body 142 can pass through the through hole formed by the light guide plate 130 and the fixing plate 120 (as described in detail below), and the hollow region (not shown) of the first bracket ι15 and the second bracket 117 is connected to the key cap. . The elastic body 142 is for providing a restoring force after the keycap 112 is pressed, so that the key cap 112 can be returned to the initial position. The contact portion 144 is used to contact the thin film circuit board 150' to elastically deform the thin film circuit board 15', thereby bringing the first conductive portion 182 and the second conductive portion 152 into contact to form a conductive path. The light guide plate 130 is laminated on a region of the elastic member 140 located around the elastic body 142. The light guide plate 130 is provided with a second through hole 132 at a position corresponding to the elastic body 142. The second through hole 132 is for passing the elastic body 142 therethrough to the keycap 112. When the keycap 112 is a transparent material, the light emitted from the light guide plate 13 is transmitted outward from the keycap 112, thereby generating a light-emitting effect. As shown in FIG. 2, it is a schematic cross-sectional view of a button module 200 shown in another preferred embodiment. The button module 2〇〇 has a substantially similar structure to the button module 1〇〇, and the difference is that the button module 2〇〇 also has a fixed 200952016 board 120. The fixing plate 120 is stacked on the light guide plate 130. The fixing plate 120 is provided with a third through hole 124 through which the elastic body 142 passes at a position corresponding to the elastic body 142. The size of the third through hole 124 is slightly larger than the size of the second through hole 132, so that the light transmitted from the light source (not shown) by the light guide plate 130 is adjacent to the outer side of the elastic body 142 via the third through hole 124. In part, it is emitted to the keycap 112. When the keycap 112 is a transparent material, light is transmitted outward from the keycap 112, thereby producing a luminous effect. The fixed plate 120 is used for connecting the scissor-shaped suspension mechanism 113. One end of the first bracket 115 and the second bracket 117 of the scissor-shaped suspension mechanism 113 is pivotally connected to the fixed plate 120 or the key cap 112, and the other end is movably connected to the key cap. 112 or fixed plate 120. The fixing plate 120 may be made of a metal material and has a certain strength for reinforcing the elastic member 140 and the film circuit board 150 to improve the strength of the button module 100. As described above, the button module 100 and the button module 200 respectively open through holes 132 and 124 through the light guide plate 130 and the fixing plate 120, so that the elastic body 142 can pass through the through holes 132 and 124. The light guide plate ◎ 130 or the fixed plate 120 is disposed under the elastic body 142. The light guide plate 130 or the fixed plate 120 can be effectively disposed by using the corresponding portion of the elastic body 142, thereby reducing the height of the button module 100 as a whole. Adapted to the trend of thinning products. Further, the position of the light guide plate 130 and the key cap 112 of the present embodiment is closer to the conventional button module, so that the brightness of the light transmitted through the key cap 112 is also effectively improved. Further, by forming the first conductive portion 200952016 182 directly on the motherboard 180 to form a conductive path with the second conductive portion (5) of the thin film circuit board 15, the conventional wiring structure can be omitted, and the cost can be effectively reduced. - Further, after the position of the light guide plate ί30 is raised, the main board leakage can also provide a predetermined intensity compensation for the entire button module (10), thereby effectively improving the strength of the button module. Furthermore, the conventional button module has a suspension mechanism disposed on the bottom plate of the lower layer 5, and the suspension mechanism 113 is connected to the fixed plate 12〇, so that the button module 100 can be more modularized, which is convenient in the manufacturing process. Into the assembly. In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art of the present invention should be included in the following claims. For example, the elastomer 142 can also be made of a material of a transparent material.
