As shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C , the housing 200 has an engaging portion 212 corresponding to the limiting portion 122 . The pivot portion 130 a of the linking rod 130 is rotatably engaged with the engaging portion 212 of the housing 200 . The abutting portion 130b of the interlocking lever 130 abuts against the limiting portion 122 in a relatively movable manner. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 122 is a hook mechanism that protrudes from the bottom surface of the carrier plate 120 and is bent toward the first side 120a and extends horizontally. The hooking mechanism (122) and the carrier plate 120 are formed for receiving. The card slot 122a of the abutting portion 130b of the linkage rod 130. The card slot 122a is an open channel having a card slot opening 122b, wherein the direction of the card slot opening 122b is open toward the first side 120a of the carrier board 120. The abutting portion 130b movably engages the limiting portion 122 in the form of a hook mechanism and is relatively movable in the card slot 122a. Thereby, when the linking rod 130 pivots about the pivot portion 130a, the interlocking lever 130 is restricted. The abutting portion 130b faces the first side 120a of the carrier plate 120 with respect to the moving direction of the carrier plate 120. Similarly, in this embodiment, the engaging portion 212 of the housing 200 may also be a hook mechanism protruding from the lower surface of the housing 200 and bent toward the first side 120a of the carrying plate 120 to extend the linkage rod. The pivot portion 130a of the 130 is rotatably engaged with the engaging portion 212 of the housing 200, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment (as shown in FIG. 3A ), the engaging portion may also be a locking mechanism 212 a having a shaft hole, so that the pivot portion 130 a of the linkage rod 130 is inserted into the shaft hole to rotatably pivot the housing 200 . .
於此實施例,如圖2A所示,連動桿130係為框形桿,其中框 形桿具有相對之開放端及封閉端,且樞軸部130a係設置於開放端,而抵接部130b係設置於封閉端。於一實施例,框形桿形式之連動桿130較佳係由金屬線(例如鐵線)彎折而成,其中金屬線的中段部分係形成抵接部130b所在之封閉端,而金屬線的兩端係形成樞軸部130a所在之開放端,且樞軸部130a係藉由連接部130c連接於抵接部130b的兩端。亦即,抵接部130b較佳係平行於樞軸部130a,而連接部130c較佳係垂直連接於樞軸部130a及抵接部130b之間。再者,抵接部130b的延伸長度,即連動桿130抵接承載板120之長度較佳係實質涵蓋觸控板110之觸控寬度,例如觸控板左右兩側之觸控寬度。舉例而言,連動桿130抵接承載板120之長度可大於、等於或略小於觸控板110之觸控寬度。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the linkage rod 130 is a frame rod, wherein the frame The rod has opposite open ends and closed ends, and the pivot portion 130a is disposed at the open end, and the abutting portion 130b is disposed at the closed end. In one embodiment, the linkage rod 130 in the form of a frame rod is preferably formed by bending a metal wire (for example, an iron wire), wherein a middle portion of the metal wire forms a closed end where the abutting portion 130b is located, and the metal wire The both ends form an open end where the pivot portion 130a is located, and the pivot portion 130a is connected to both ends of the abutting portion 130b by the connecting portion 130c. That is, the abutting portion 130b is preferably parallel to the pivot portion 130a, and the connecting portion 130c is preferably vertically connected between the pivot portion 130a and the abutting portion 130b. Moreover, the extension length of the abutting portion 130b, that is, the length of the linkage rod 130 abutting the carrier 120 is preferably substantially covering the touch width of the touch panel 110, such as the touch width of the left and right sides of the touch panel. For example, the length of the linkage bar 130 abutting the carrier 120 may be greater than, equal to, or slightly smaller than the touch width of the touch panel 110.
在此需注意,連動桿130之形狀不限於上述的框形桿結構,而可有其他變化,如圖3A及圖3B所示。於圖3A中,連動桿130’可為T型桿,其中抵接部130b係為T型連動桿130’之水平部,而樞軸部130a係為T型連動桿130’之直立部。換言之,樞軸部130a係垂直於抵接部130b,且較佳係連接於抵接部130b之中間部分。再者,配合連動桿130’的T型結構,殼體200及承載板120的相應卡合及限位的結構亦可有不同變化。例如,相對於圖2B連續延伸的限位部122,於此實施例,承載板120’之限位部可設計不連續的限位部122’,而使得樞軸部130a自其間朝殼體200延伸。對應於此,殼體200之卡合部亦可設計為具有軸孔之扣環機構212a,而使得樞軸部130a可插入扣環機構212a,但不以此為限。 It should be noted here that the shape of the linkage rod 130 is not limited to the above-described frame rod structure, and other variations are possible, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. In Fig. 3A, the linkage rod 130' may be a T-bar, wherein the abutment portion 130b is a horizontal portion of the T-type linkage rod 130', and the pivot portion 130a is an upright portion of the T-type linkage rod 130'. In other words, the pivot portion 130a is perpendicular to the abutting portion 130b, and is preferably connected to the intermediate portion of the abutting portion 130b. Moreover, with the T-shaped structure of the linkage rod 130', the structure of the corresponding engagement and limitation of the housing 200 and the carrier plate 120 may also vary. For example, with respect to the limiting portion 122 extending continuously with respect to FIG. 2B , in this embodiment, the limiting portion of the carrier plate 120 ′ can design the discontinuous limiting portion 122 ′ such that the pivot portion 130 a faces the housing 200 from the middle thereof. extend. Corresponding to this, the engaging portion of the housing 200 can also be designed as a buckle mechanism 212a having a shaft hole, so that the pivot portion 130a can be inserted into the buckle mechanism 212a, but not limited thereto.
於另一實施例,如圖3B所示,樞軸部130a及抵接部130b可藉由單一連接部130c連接形成「工」型連動桿,但不以此為限。具體而言, 抵接部130b及樞軸部130a係位於連動桿130”之相對兩端,且連接部130c係連接於抵接部130b及樞軸部130a之間。於此實施例,樞軸部130a較佳係平行於抵接部130b,且連接部130c較佳連接於抵接部130b/樞軸部130a的中間位置,使得連動桿130”以連接部130c為中心形成左右對稱。於其他實施例,樞軸部130a及抵接部120b可依設計需求連接形成「ㄇ」型、「Z」型連動桿等。在此需注意,抵接部130b之延伸長度較佳係實質涵蓋觸控板110之觸控寬度,例如觸控板左右兩側之觸控寬度,且抵接部130b之延伸長度較佳大於樞軸部130a的延伸長度。於一實施例,抵接部130b之延伸長度係大於觸控板110之觸控寬度;然而,於其他實施例,抵接部130b之延伸長度可等於或略小於觸控板110之觸控寬度。亦即,抵接部130b之延伸長度係以承載板120與連動桿130連動支撐觸控板110行程一致地平穩移動為設計考量。 In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the pivot portion 130a and the abutting portion 130b can be connected by a single connecting portion 130c to form a "work" type linkage rod, but not limited thereto. in particular, The abutting portion 130b and the pivot portion 130a are located at opposite ends of the interlocking lever 130", and the connecting portion 130c is connected between the abutting portion 130b and the pivot portion 130a. In this embodiment, the pivot portion 130a is preferably It is parallel to the abutting portion 130b, and the connecting portion 130c is preferably connected to the intermediate position of the abutting portion 130b/the pivot portion 130a such that the interlocking lever 130" is bilaterally symmetrical about the connecting portion 130c. In other embodiments, the pivot portion 130a and the abutting portion 120b may be connected to each other to form a "ㄇ" type, a "Z" type linkage rod, or the like. It should be noted that the extension length of the abutting portion 130b preferably covers the touch width of the touch panel 110, for example, the touch width of the left and right sides of the touch panel, and the extension length of the abutting portion 130b is preferably greater than the pivot length. The extension length of the shaft portion 130a. In one embodiment, the extension length of the abutting portion 130b is greater than the touch width of the touch panel 110; however, in other embodiments, the extension length of the abutting portion 130b may be equal to or slightly smaller than the touch width of the touch panel 110. . That is, the extension length of the abutting portion 130b is designed to be balanced by the smooth movement of the carrier plate 120 and the linkage rod 130 in conjunction with the stroke of the touch panel 110.
此外,承載板120亦可藉由其他限位機構,以限制連動桿130相對於殼體200的移動方向。如圖4A及圖4B所示,限位部122”係自承載板120底面凹陷之凹槽,以形成容置連動桿130之抵接部130b的容置空間,使得抵接部130b可移動地抵接凹槽122”,以於凹槽122”中相對移動。藉此,當使用者操作觸控板110時,連動桿130之抵接部130b亦被限制在凹槽122”中朝第一側120a移動。 In addition, the carrier plate 120 can also limit the moving direction of the linkage bar 130 relative to the housing 200 by other limiting mechanisms. As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the limiting portion 122" is a recess recessed from the bottom surface of the carrier plate 120 to form an accommodating space for accommodating the abutting portion 130b of the linking rod 130, so that the abutting portion 130b is movably Abutting the groove 122" to move relative to the groove 122". Thereby, when the user operates the touch panel 110, the abutting portion 130b of the linkage rod 130 is also restricted in the groove 122" toward the first Side 120a moves.
於後,參考圖2A及圖2D說明本發明之觸控單元100的作動細節。當使用者操作(例如點擊或按壓)觸控板110時,承載板120因應使用者操作觸控板110之動作相對於殼體200轉動,並帶動連動桿130相對於承載板120移動,以使得承載板120與連動桿130同步動作,進而使得承載板120支撐觸控板110整體平穩地向下移動進而觸發致動部140(如圖2D所示)。具體而 言,如圖2C所示,當使用者操作(例如點擊或按壓)觸控板110時(即觸控板110接受按壓動作時),承載板120藉由其第一側120a與殼體200的樞接處作為第一樞軸P1而相對於殼體200沿第一方向A轉動。此時,如圖2D所示,承載板120沿第一方向A的轉動係同時帶動連動桿130以樞軸部130a作為第二樞軸P2沿第二方向B轉動,使限位部122限制抵接部130b相對於承載板120朝第一側120a(例如沿移動方向C)移動,其中第一方向A及第二方向B係相反的轉動方向(例如逆時針方向及順時針方向)。因此,不論使用者是操作於觸控板110靠近左/右側或中央的位置,承載板120皆可藉由連動桿130的連動機制支撐觸控板110整體平穩地向下移動觸發致動部140,使得觸控單元的操作穩定性得以提升,同時達成一致的作動行程,進而增進操作的精緻度。 Hereinafter, the operation details of the touch unit 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2D. When the user operates (eg, clicks or presses) the touch panel 110, the carrier 120 rotates relative to the housing 200 according to the user's operation of the touch panel 110, and drives the linkage rod 130 to move relative to the carrier 120, so that The carrier plate 120 and the linkage bar 130 operate in synchronization, so that the carrier plate 120 supports the touch panel 110 as a whole to smoothly move downward to trigger the actuation portion 140 (as shown in FIG. 2D). Specifically As shown in FIG. 2C , when the user operates (eg, clicks or presses) the touch panel 110 (ie, the touch panel 110 accepts a pressing action), the carrier 120 is coupled to the housing 200 by the first side 120 a thereof. The pivoting portion rotates in the first direction A relative to the housing 200 as the first pivot P1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2D, the rotation of the carrier plate 120 in the first direction A simultaneously drives the linkage lever 130 to rotate in the second direction B with the pivot portion 130a as the second pivot P2, so that the limiting portion 122 is restrained. The joint 130b moves relative to the carrier plate 120 toward the first side 120a (eg, in the direction of movement C), wherein the first direction A and the second direction B are opposite rotational directions (eg, counterclockwise and clockwise). Therefore, regardless of whether the user is operating at a position near the left/right side or the center of the touch panel 110, the carrier 120 can support the touch panel 110 to smoothly move downward and trigger the actuation portion 140 by the linkage mechanism of the linkage rod 130. The operation stability of the touch unit is improved, and a consistent actuation stroke is achieved, thereby improving the precision of the operation.
