Description

Input device and method of manufacturing same

The present invention relates to an input device and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly to an input device having a switch and a method of fabricating the same.

There are currently a variety of input devices on the market, such as keyboards, mice, trackpads, trackballs, and optical scanners, which are widely used in operating electronic devices. In order to be able to input commands easily, intuitively and quickly, the most commonly used input devices are mostly mice. As shown in FIG. 4, the mouse mainly includes a housing 1001, a micro-switch 1002 disposed in the housing, a mouse button 1003 disposed at the top of the housing, and a protrusion from the bottom of the mouse button 1003 to the micro switch 1002. Button shaft 1004. When the user taps the mouse button, the button shaft 1004 touches the micro switch 1002 to input an instruction to the electronic device.

Ideally, the manufacturer would like to create a mouse that does not touch the microswitch when the user does not tap the mouse button. However, in the conventional mouse, the key shaft is prone to manufacturing tolerances during molding, so that the actual length of the key shaft is too long or too short. In addition, assembly tolerances are easily generated between the mouse button and the housing. Therefore, when the mouse button is assembled with the outer casing, the key shaft is liable to cause a problem of idle stroke or preloading. The so-called empty stroke problem means that there is a gap between the button shaft and the micro switch after assembly, so that when the user taps the mouse button, the button shaft has to go down an empty stroke and then touch the micro switch instead of directly triggering. The micro switch is used to input the command; the so-called preloading problem means that the button shaft normally maintains the touch micro switch after assembly, that is, the button shaft has pressed the micro switch down a little under the natural state, causing the mouse to be too sensitive It is easy for the user to mistake the instruction. Air travel and preloading will result in reduced product yield and smooth user operation. One of the current practices of manufacturers is to measure each mouse after assembling the mouse to check for the existence of an idle stroke or preload problem. If it exists, the mouse is disassembled and re-adjusted and reassembled again. Until the empty stroke or preload is eliminated. This assembly-measurement-disassembly-reassembly approach results in inefficient manufacturing and production of the mouse.

In view of the above problems, the present invention discloses an input device and a manufacturing method thereof, which are useful for solving the problem that a conventional button shaft may generate an idle stroke or a preload.

The manufacturing method of the input device disclosed in the present invention comprises the steps of: providing a main body, wherein the main body comprises a casing member and a switch member disposed in a cavity surrounded by the outer casing member; and a cover body is provided, wherein the cover body comprises a pressure receiving member, a contact member and an elastic fixing member.

A portion of the pressure member is disposed over the outer casing member and another portion is disposed within the cavity. The contact member is directly connected or connected to the other portion through the elastic fixing member and the contact member just contacts the switching member.

According to the input device and the method of manufacturing the same disclosed by the present invention, the cover of the input device includes an elastic fixing member for fixing the relative position between the pressure receiving member and the contact member. When the cover is disposed on the main body, the contact member is movable relative to the pressure receiving member to just contact the switch member. Finally, the relative position between the pressure receiving member and the contact member is fixed by the elastic fixing member. Thereby, the axial length of the pressure receiving member and the contact member can be adjusted through the movement of the elastic fixing member and the contact member, so as to avoid the problem of the idle stroke or the preloading, and the product yield and the smooth operation of the user can be improved. degree.

In the manufacturing method of the input device according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the elastic member and the blocking member are used as the elastic fixing member, an opening is formed on one side of the outer casing before the assembly, and the opening is adapted to be the blocking member. The elastic member is connected between the pressure receiving member and the contact member through the elastic member, and the components are combined with each other. At this time, the contact member is caused by gravity and elastic deformation of the elastic member. Moving downward to contact the switch member, and when the length of the connecting portion and the contact member is equal to the length of the bottom end of the button to the top end of the switch member, the blocking member extends through the opening into the cavity to block the elasticity of the elastic member from continuing After the deformation, and after the relative position between the pressure receiving member and the contact member is fixed, the opening is closed.

Therefore, the input device and the manufacturing method thereof are provided by the embodiment of the invention, so that the button shaft is completely formed or fixed when the button shaft is completely assembled, so that the height of the button shaft completely matches the switch member under the button, and the idle stroke or the preload is prevented. The emergence of the situation provides a feasible solution for improving the user experience; and, because it does not require the cumbersome process of assembly-measurement-disassembly-reassembly as in the conventional manufacturing method, the manufacturing and production efficiency of the input device is improved. .

The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below by means of the embodiments, which are to be understood by those skilled in the art, The objects and advantages associated with the present invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. The following examples are intended to describe the present invention in further detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

1A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an input device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the input device 1 includes a main body 10, a cover 20, and a curable material 30. The input device 1 can be, for example, a computer mouse or a computer keyboard. In the embodiment, the input device 1 takes a computer mouse as an example.

The body 10 includes a housing member 110 and a switch member 120 disposed within a cavity defined by the housing member 110. The switch member 120 is, for example, a microswitch of a computer mouse having a switch contact in contact with the contact member 220. In addition, the main body 10 may further include a circuit board, a roller, an LED lamp and a sensor which are disposed in the cavity 111 of the outer casing member 110 and electrically connected to the switch member 120. However, the configuration of these components is not intended to limit the present invention. Only the switch member 120 is shown in FIG. 1A, and other components of the body 10 disposed in the outer casing member 110 are not shown.

The cover 20 includes a pressure receiving member 210 and a contact member 220 connected to the pressure receiving member 210. A portion of the pressure receiving member 210 is disposed over the outer casing member 110 of the main body 10, and another portion is disposed within the cavity formed by the outer casing member 110, and the contact member 220 rotatably coupled to the portion contacts the switching member 120 of the main body 10. . In detail, the pressure receiving member 210 includes a pressure receiving portion 211 and a connecting portion 212 protruding from the pressure receiving portion 211 toward the switch member 120. The pressure receiving portion 211 is, for example, a button of a computer mouse, and the connecting portion 212 is, for example, a part of a key shaft of a computer mouse, and the contact member 220 is, for example, another portion of a key shaft of a computer mouse. The pressure receiving portion 211 is disposed on the outer casing member 110 of the main body 10, and the contact member 220 is coupled to one end of the connecting portion 212 away from the pressure receiving portion 211. When the curable material 30 has not been added, the area of the portion where the contact 220 is connected to the connecting portion 212 is small and can be deformed. In detail, at least a portion of the cross-sectional area W1 of the connecting portion 212 gradually decreases toward the contact member 220 in the axial direction of the contact portion 220 to the connection point P of the contact member 220 at the connecting portion 212, and the cross-sectional area W2 of the contact member 220 is along its own axis. The direction is gradually reduced toward the connection portion 212 to the connection point P. The efficacy of the above structure will be detailed later.

The pressure receiving member 210 is, for example, a left or right button of a computer mouse, and the connecting portion 212 together with the contact member 220 is a button shaft of, for example, a computer mouse. When the user does not press the pressure receiving member 210, the contact member 220 connected to the pressure receiving member 210 abuts and contacts the switching member 120. When the user presses the pressure receiving portion 211 of the pressure receiving member 210, the contact member 220 pushes down the triggering switch member 120, thereby causing the input device 1 to generate an input command.

The curable material 30 is an elastic material, and may be, for example, a photocurable material such as a photopolymer, a thermosetting material such as Organosilicon, a quick-drying adhesive, or a combination thereof. The curable material 30 is disposed at a joint of the connecting portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210 of the cover body 20 and the contact member 220.

A method of manufacturing the input device 1 of the present embodiment will be described below. Please refer to FIG. 1B to FIG. 1F at the same time. FIG. 1B is a flow chart showing the steps of the method of manufacturing the input device of FIG. 1A. 1C through 1F are schematic views of processes for fabricating the input device of Fig. 1A.

First, step S1 is performed to provide the main body 10 and the cover 20. The main body 10 and the lid body 20 can be manufactured, for example, by plastic injection molding. At this time, the main body 10 is provided to include the outer casing member 110 and the switch member 120, and the cover body 20 includes the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220, wherein the connection between the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220 is not yet cured, such as a cover body. The contact 220 of 20 is movably coupled to the pressure receiving member 210 at this time. At this stage, the area of the portion where the contact member 220 is connected to the connecting portion 212 is small and can be deformed. In detail, the contact member 220 of the present embodiment is integrally coupled to the pressure receiving member 210, and the contact member 220 is rotatable relative to the pressure receiving member 210 at a connection point P as a center of rotation.

Next, step S2 is performed to set the curable material 30 in an uncured state at the junction of the connecting portion 212 and the contact 220. In detail, the step S2 may include the following steps: as shown in FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D, the two adhesive members 2 are first disposed on opposite sides of the contact member 220, and the connecting portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220 are The two adhesive members 2 together form an accommodating space 40 near the junction of the connecting portion 212 and the contact member 220. Then, the uncured curable material 30 is disposed in the accommodating space 40, so that the connecting portion 212 and the contact member 220 are connected. The connected portion is increased in area due to the presence of the curable material; finally, the second adhesive member 2 can be selectively removed.

After step S2 is performed, step S3 is followed to set the cover 20 to the main body 10. In detail, the step S3 may include the following steps: as shown in FIG. 1E, the pressure receiving member 210 is first disposed on the outer casing member 110; then, as shown in FIG. 1F, the relative position of the contact member 220 and the pressure receiving member 210 is adjusted, and The contact member 220 is moved relative to the pressure receiving member 210 to just contact the switching member 120. In the present embodiment, the relative position of the contact member 220 and the pressure receiving member 210 is adjusted by the method of resting the main body 10 and the cover body 20. Since the curable material 30 is not yet solidified at this time and has a certain degree of fluidity, the contact member 220 can be rotated by the connection portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210 by its own weight to hang down and contact the switch member 120. By resting the body 10 and the cover 20, it helps to ensure that sufficient time is provided for the contact member 220 to just contact the switch member 120 before continuing with subsequent manufacturing steps. In other embodiments, the relative position of the contact member 220 and the pressure receiving member 210 may also be adjusted by manually rotating the contact member 220 such that the contact member 220 just contacts the switch member 120. As used herein, "just touching" means that the contact member 220 has just contacted the switch member 120 and has not displaced the switch member.

Finally, step S4 is performed to fix the relative position between the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220. Step S4 may include the step of curing the curable material 30 disposed on the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220. In detail, if the curable material 30 comprises a photocurable material, it may be externally illuminated or lighted by an LED lamp (not shown) provided on the outer casing member 110 to cure the curable material 30; if the curable material is cured 30 comprising a heat curing material, the input device 1 can be heated as a whole to cure the curable material 30; if the curable material 30 comprises a quick-drying glue, the body 10 and the cover can be continuously left after performing step S3. 20, until the curable material 30 is completely cured. When the curable material 30 is cured, the contact 220 can no longer rotate relative to the connecting portion 212, and thus the connecting portion 212 and the overall axial length L of the contact member 220 (as shown in FIG. 1F) are fixed.

In summary, according to the input device 1 and the manufacturing method thereof disclosed in the embodiment, the cover 20 of the input device 1 includes the contact member 220 movably disposed on the pressure receiving member 210 before the assembly is completed. When the cover 20 is disposed on the main body 10, the contact 220 can move relative to the pressure receiving member 210 to just contact the switch member 120. When the contact member 220 just contacts the switch member 120, the curable material 30 is cured to fix the relative position between the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220. Thereby, when the curable material 30 is not cured, the axial length L of the connection portion 212 and the contact member 220 as a whole can be adjusted via the movement of the contact member 220 to avoid a gap between the contact member 220 and the switch member 120. It helps to prevent the cover 20 from being placed in the main body 10 and generating an idle stroke, which can improve the product yield and the smoothness of the operation of the user.

In the present embodiment, the step S2 of providing the uncured curable material 30 to the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220 is earlier than the step S3 of providing the cover body 20 to the main body 10. Thereby, the curable material 30 can be disposed before the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220 are covered by the outer casing member 110 of the main body 10, which helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

Further, in the present embodiment, the step S2 includes disposing the adhesive member 2 to form the accommodating space 40 adapted to accommodate the uncured curable material 30. Thereby, the adhesive member 2 helps to properly limit the flow direction of the uncured curable material 30, avoiding the curable material 30 from adhering to other components of the input device 1 during the setting process. After the fluidity of the curable material 30 is slightly lowered (for example, standing still waiting for a part of the fluid component in the curable material 30 to volatilize), the adhesive member 2 can be selectively removed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area W1 of the connecting portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210 is gradually reduced toward the contact member 220 in the axial direction of the contact member 220 to the connection point P of the contact member 220 with the connecting portion 212, and the contact member 220. The cross-sectional area W2 gradually decreases toward the connection portion 212 in the axial direction of itself to the connection point P. Thereby, the cross-sectional area of the connecting portion 212 and the contact 220 at the connection point P can be reduced, and the contact member 220 can be more easily rotated by the weight of the connecting portion 212 to hang down.

In the first embodiment, the axial length of the pressure receiving member and the contact member is adjusted by the movement of the contact member, and the relative position between the pressure member and the solid material is fixed together to solve the problem of the idle stroke, but the present invention The disclosed input device and its method of manufacture can also solve the problem of preloading. For example, it can be measured by, for example, a precision instrument that the contact member 220 just contacts the switch member 120 and cures the curable material 30, thereby helping to prevent the occurrence of preloading, which provides a possibility to improve the experience of the input device. Please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C at the same time. 2A is a schematic cross-sectional view of an input device in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. 2B through 2C are schematic views of the manufacture of the input device of Fig. 2A. Since the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, the following description will be made only on the difference.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the contact member 220 of the cover body 20 has contacted the switch member 120 of the main body 10 before the pressure receiving member 210 is disposed on the outer casing member 110. As shown in FIG. 2C, when the step of setting the pressure receiving member 210 to the outer casing member 110 is continued, the moving path under the contact member 220 is stopped by the switch member 120, so that the contact portion 220 is connected to the pressure receiving member 210. The rotation of 212 adjusts the relative position of the contact member 220 and the pressure receiving member 210, and shortens the axial length L of the connecting portion 212 and the entire contact member 220. Finally, the curable material 30 is cured to fix the axial length L. Therefore, the input device and the manufacturing method thereof disclosed in the embodiment help to prevent the contact member 220 from pressing the switch member 120 in a normal state when the user has not used the device, thereby preventing the preload from being generated to improve the product yield and The user's operation is smooth.

In the first and second embodiments, the structure and connection relationship of the pressure receiving member 210, the contact member 220, and the curable material 30 are not intended to limit the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C at the same time. 3A is a schematic cross-sectional view of an input device in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. 3B to 3C are schematic views of the manufacture of the input device of Fig. 3A. Since the third embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, the following description will be made only on the difference.

In the present embodiment, the cover 20 of the input device 1" includes a pressure receiving member 210 and a contact member 220". The contact member 220" has a recess 221" on a side facing the connecting portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210. The one end 2121 of the connecting portion 212 away from the pressure receiving portion 211 is located in the recess 221", and the end 2121 is separated from the groove wall surface of the recess 221". The curable material 30 is disposed within the recess 221" and encloses the end 2121 of the connection portion 212.

As shown in FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C, in the manufacturing method of the embodiment, the uncured curable material 30 is first disposed in the recess 221"; then, the pressure receiving member 210 is disposed on the outer casing member 110 and the main body is left. 10 and the cover 20, and the contact member 220" is moved relative to the pressure receiving member 210 to just contact the switch member 120. Since the curable material 30 is not yet solidified at this time and has a certain degree of fluidity, the contact member 220" can hang down with respect to the connecting portion 212 of the pressure receiving member 210 by its own weight, thereby just touching the switching member 120.

Finally, the curable material 30 disposed in the recess 221" of the contact member 220" is cured to fix the relative position between the pressure receiving member 210 and the contact member 220". Thereby, the contact member 220" and the switch can be avoided. A gap is created between the pieces 120 to help prevent the cover 20 from being placed in the body 10 to create an idle stroke. This embodiment is taken as an example to solve the problem of the idle travel, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the contact 220" has contacted the switch member 120 before the pressure member 210 is disposed on the outer casing member 110. When the pressure member 210 is continuously disposed on the outer casing member 110, the contact member 220" is opposite to the joint portion The 212 moves upward to extend the end 2121 into the recess 221", thereby shortening the axial length of the connecting portion 212 and the contact member 220" as a whole. The curable material 30 is then cured to fix the relative position of the joint 212 and the contact 220" such that the contact 220" just contacts the switch member 120. Thereby, the contact member 220" with the curable material 30 can also solve the preload problem.

In summary, in the input device and the method of manufacturing the same disclosed in the present invention, the cover of the input device includes a contact member movably disposed on the pressure receiving member. When the cover is disposed on the main body, the contact member is movable relative to the pressure receiving member to contact the switch member. The curable material is cured to fix the relative position between the pressure member and the contact. Thereby, when the curable material is not cured, the axial length of the pressure receiving member and the contact member can be adjusted through the movement of the contact member to avoid the problem of idle stroke or preloading, thereby improving product yield and The user's operation is smooth.
