Description

具機械式開關的按鍵結構及其機械式開關 Button structure with mechanical switch and its mechanical switch

本發明涉及一種具機械式開關的按鍵結構及其機械式開關,特別是指一種藉由按鍵具有機械式開關以機械式作動的方式輸入訊號或指令,可應用於電腦鍵盤。 The invention relates to a button structure with a mechanical switch and a mechanical switch thereof, in particular to a signal input or a command by means of a mechanical switch with a mechanical switch, which can be applied to a computer keyboard.

鍵盤已經是一種非常普及的電腦週邊設備,可分為「機械式鍵盤」與「薄膜式鍵盤」。薄膜式鍵盤在鍵帽下方設置剪刀腳支架、彈性元件、以及一層薄膜電路層設置於鍵盤的底部。鍵帽被按壓後,彈性元件被鍵帽帶動並往下觸發薄膜電路層,而產生一訊號,即完成一輸出訊號。薄膜鍵盤的缺點在於,當單顆按鍵下方的觸發電路損毀時,薄膜電路層就必須更換甚至可能無法維修,無法針對單顆按鍵進行更換。其操作手感取決於彈性元件,按鍵行程較短導致按壓的手感不佳,比機械式鍵盤的手感差。 The keyboard is already a very popular computer peripheral device, which can be divided into "mechanical keyboard" and "thin film keyboard". The membrane keyboard is provided with a scissor foot support, an elastic element, and a thin film circuit layer under the key cap at the bottom of the keyboard. After the keycap is pressed, the elastic element is driven by the keycap and triggers the thin film circuit layer downward to generate a signal, that is, an output signal is completed. The disadvantage of the membrane keyboard is that when the trigger circuit under the single button is damaged, the membrane circuit layer must be replaced or even impossible to repair, and cannot be replaced for a single button. The handling feel depends on the elastic element, and the short stroke of the button results in a poor hand feel and is inferior to the mechanical keyboard.

「機械式鍵盤」主要是以機械式開關(switch)的方式以觸發訊號。其特點在於按鍵在敲打時的手感,以及耐用度。 The "mechanical keyboard" is mainly a mechanical switch (switch) to trigger the signal. It is characterized by the feel of the button when tapped, and durability.

目前常見的機械式鍵盤通常設置一彈簧於中間軸的下方,為彈簧式結構。其高度通常比「薄膜式鍵盤」高。此外,其按壓的彈力曲線圖,在越過峰值點(Peak Point)過後,呈曲線向下到谷底為一導通點(Operating Point),之後,呈斜線逐漸增加。手感較無明顯的段落感。 At present, a common mechanical keyboard usually has a spring below the intermediate shaft and is a spring-type structure. Its height is usually higher than the "film keyboard". In addition, the elastic curve of the pressing curve is a downward point to the bottom of the valley as an Operating Point after crossing the Peak Point, and then gradually increases in a diagonal line. The feel is less obvious than the paragraph.

請參閱圖4及圖5,分別為本實施例的具機械式開關的按鍵結構未按壓鍵帽及已按壓鍵帽的剖視圖。如圖4所示,當鍵帽10未被按壓時,也可以視為導引外筒60未被按壓時,所述多個滑動突塊72對應地位於所述多個定位突塊62的底端、並且位於所述多個段位凹陷區530內。 Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , which are cross-sectional views of the button structure with the mechanical switch and the pressed key cap and the pressed key cap respectively.

The top of the sliding protrusion 72 of the rotating inner cylinder 70 has an upper inclined surface 722 which is inclined with respect to the pressing direction, and the upper inclined surface 722 abuts against the lower inclined surface 622.

當鍵帽10被按壓時,也可以視為導引外筒60被按壓時,特別是當旋轉內筒70的滑動突塊72被導引外筒60的定位突塊62往下推動至超過第二側邊533,藉由上述上斜面722抵接於下斜面622產生的斜向推力,所述多個定位突塊62沿著所述按壓方向離開所述多個段位凹陷區530,所述多個滑動突塊72對應地由所述多個定位突塊62的底端滑動至導引外筒60的多個凹陷停靠部64內。此時,所述多個滑動突塊72的位置暫時地位於所述多個段位板53的底部斜邊532的下方。 When the keycap 10 is pressed, it can also be considered that when the guide outer cylinder 60 is pressed, especially when the sliding projection 72 of the rotating inner cylinder 70 is guided downward by the positioning projection 62 of the outer cylinder 60 to the above The two sides 533 are abutting the oblique thrust generated by the lower inclined surface 622 by the upper inclined surface 722, and the plurality of positioning protrusions 62 are separated from the plurality of segment recessed areas 530 along the pressing direction, The sliding projections 72 are correspondingly slid by the bottom ends of the plurality of positioning projections 62 into the plurality of recessed seating portions 64 of the guide outer cylinder 60. At this time, the positions of the plurality of sliding protrusions 72 are temporarily located below the bottom oblique sides 532 of the plurality of position plates 53.

當鍵帽10被釋放後,藉由位於旋轉內筒70內部的彈性元件80的力量,推動上述旋轉內筒70以及導引外筒60向上移動,向上回復的過程中,多個滑動突塊72先是碰到多個段位板53的底部斜邊532,導引外筒60繼續向上並且所述多個定位突塊62回到所述多個段位凹陷區530。然後所述多個滑動突塊72離開多個凹陷停靠部64並且沿著多個底部斜邊532滑動,所述多個滑動突塊 72由所述多個段位板53的底面,也就是底部斜邊532,滑動至所述多個定位突塊62的底端。回到圖4所示的狀態。 After the keycap 10 is released, the rotating inner cylinder 70 and the guiding outer cylinder 60 are pushed upward by the force of the elastic member 80 located inside the rotating inner cylinder 70, and a plurality of sliding projections 72 are recovered during the upward recovery. First, the bottom bevel 532 of the plurality of land plates 53 is touched, the outer cylinder 60 is guided to continue upward, and the plurality of positioning projections 62 are returned to the plurality of segment recessed regions 530. The plurality of sliding tabs 72 then exit the plurality of recessed stops 64 and slide along a plurality of bottom beveled edges 532, the plurality of sliding projections 72 is slid to the bottom end of the plurality of positioning projections 62 by the bottom surface of the plurality of segment plates 53, that is, the bottom bevel 532. Go back to the state shown in Figure 4.

請參閱圖4,本實施例中,所述導引外筒60具有一延伸斜面621,所述延伸斜面621由下斜面622延伸至凹陷停靠部64。其中當所述鍵帽10被釋放後,所述段位板53的所述底部斜邊532、所述定位突塊62的所述下斜面622、與所述導引外筒60的所述延伸斜面621大致位於同一斜面或者稱同一弧面。因此滑動突塊72順暢地在上述同一弧面上輪流移動。 Referring to FIG. 4 , in the present embodiment, the guiding outer cylinder 60 has an extending inclined surface 621 extending from the lower inclined surface 622 to the recessed stopping portion 64 . Wherein, when the keycap 10 is released, the bottom bevel 532 of the segment plate 53, the lower bevel 622 of the positioning protrusion 62, and the extended bevel of the guiding outer tube 60 621 is located substantially on the same slope or the same curved surface. Therefore, the sliding projections 72 smoothly move in the same arc surface as described above.

請參閱圖6,為本實施例的具機械式開關的按鍵結構在按壓過程中的彈力曲線圖。按鍵受到手指力道的動作過程變化,可以使用彈力曲線圖來表示。彈力曲線圖的橫軸(或稱為X軸)代表壓下按鍵動作的行程距離(Stroke),單位為mm;縱軸(或稱為Y軸)代表手指壓下所要花費的力道(Force),單位為gf(公克重)。其中O為起始點(Original Point);P為峰值點(Peak Point);C為接觸點(Contact Point);E為結束點(End Point)。本發明的特點之一在於,藉由鍵帽10在被按壓與釋放後的過程中,旋轉內筒70沿著上述導引外筒60與段位板53的底面滑動,提供一種更明顯的段落感的按壓手感。 Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a graph showing the elastic force of the button structure of the mechanical switch during pressing according to the embodiment. The button is changed by the action of the finger force and can be expressed using the elastic curve. The horizontal axis (or X-axis) of the elastic curve represents the stroke distance (Stroke) of the pressed button action, and the unit is mm; the vertical axis (or the Y-axis) represents the force (Force) to be pressed by the finger. The unit is gf (gram weight). Where O is the starting point (Original Point); P is the Peak Point; C is the Contact Point; and E is the End Point. One of the features of the present invention is that the rotating inner cylinder 70 slides along the bottom surface of the position plate 53 along the guide outer cylinder 60 during the process of being pressed and released by the keycap 10, thereby providing a more pronounced sense of passage. The feel of the press.

圖6中的峰值點P與接觸點C會影響機械式開關結構的按壓手感。起始點O相當於鍵帽10尚未被按壓,對應於行程距離0mm;峰值點P相當於鍵帽10被按壓到一最大力量的按壓行程,對應於行程距離約1.3mm,在本實施例中約為全部按壓行程的三分之二位置。由起始點O至峰值點P的彈力曲線大致呈線性變化,過程中主要是克服彈性元件80的阻力,類似於壓縮彈簧的彈力力圖。 The peak point P and the contact point C in Fig. 6 affect the pressing feel of the mechanical switch structure. The starting point O corresponds to the keycap 10 not being pressed, corresponding to a stroke distance of 0 mm; the peak point P corresponds to a pressing stroke in which the keycap 10 is pressed to a maximum force, corresponding to a stroke distance of about 1.3 mm, in this embodiment About two-thirds of the total stroke. The elastic force curve from the starting point O to the peak point P changes substantially linearly, and the process mainly overcomes the resistance of the elastic member 80, similar to the elastic force diagram of the compression spring.

請同時參考圖4,鍵帽10被按壓的過程中,導引外筒60同時被往下推移,此段行程也相當於定位突塊62沿著第二側邊533向下移動的位移距離。由上述得知,第二側邊533的長度愈長,彈性元件80被壓縮更多,同時產生更大的彈力。藉此,本實施例的 峰值點P可以藉由改變第二側邊533的設計長度而得以調整。本實施例的峰值點P的力量值也可以藉由彈性元件80的彈性係數加以調整。 Referring to FIG. 4 at the same time, during the process of pressing the keycap 10, the guiding outer cylinder 60 is simultaneously pushed downward, and the stroke is also equivalent to the displacement distance of the positioning protrusion 62 moving downward along the second side 533. From the above, it is known that the longer the length of the second side 533, the more the elastic member 80 is compressed, while generating a greater elastic force. Thereby, the embodiment The peak point P can be adjusted by changing the design length of the second side 533. The force value of the peak point P of this embodiment can also be adjusted by the elastic modulus of the elastic member 80.

請參閱圖6,本實施例由峰值點P至接觸點C的按壓行程,使用者的手指感受到的力量明顯變小,接觸點C相當於行程距離約為1.6mm。請同時參閱圖4所示,當所述滑動突塊72被該導引外筒60向下推動直到越過該段位板53的第二側邊533,滑動突塊72沿著定位突塊62的底端開始滑動。先是滑過第二側邊533與底部斜邊532的轉角,然後如圖5所示,該滑動突塊72滑動至導引外筒60的該凹陷停靠部64內。過程中,鍵帽10仍然被持續向下按壓,約繼續三分之一的按壓行程,直到完成整個按壓行程,如圖5所示,此時觸動一導通電路(容後舉例說明),也就是相當於接觸點C。彈性元件80在短時間內得著釋放,彈性元件80回復的長度被滑動突塊72的垂直位移抵消,使用者的手指感受的彈性元件80的彈力在短時間內減少許多,而產生明顯的段落感。 Referring to FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the pressing stroke from the peak point P to the contact point C is significantly reduced by the user's finger, and the contact point C corresponds to a stroke distance of about 1.6 mm. Referring to FIG. 4 at the same time, when the sliding protrusion 72 is pushed down by the guiding outer tube 60 until it passes over the second side 533 of the position plate 53, the sliding protrusion 72 is along the bottom of the positioning protrusion 62. The end starts to slide. First, the corners of the second side 533 and the bottom bevel 532 are slid, and then, as shown in FIG. 5, the sliding protrusion 72 slides into the recessed rest 64 of the guide outer cylinder 60. During the process, the keycap 10 is still pressed down continuously, about one third of the pressing stroke is continued until the entire pressing stroke is completed, as shown in FIG. 5, at this time, a conduction circuit is touched (for example, as exemplified), that is, Equivalent to contact point C. The elastic member 80 is released in a short time, and the length of the recovery of the elastic member 80 is offset by the vertical displacement of the sliding projection 72, and the elastic force of the elastic member 80 felt by the user's finger is reduced in a short time, resulting in a distinct passage. sense.

由上述得知,本實施例可藉由改變導引外筒60的延伸斜面621的斜率及長度,以調整峰值點P至接觸點C的曲線及按壓的段落感。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the curve of the peak point P to the contact point C and the sense of the paragraph of the pressing can be adjusted by changing the slope and length of the extending slope 621 of the guide outer cylinder 60.

請參閱圖6,接觸點C之後的行程,相當於使用者的手指離開鍵帽10的過程。請同時參閱圖4,彈性元件80推動上述旋轉內筒70、導引外筒60以及鍵帽10向上回復到未被按壓的位置。 Referring to FIG. 6, the stroke after the contact point C corresponds to the process in which the user's finger leaves the keycap 10. Referring to FIG. 4 at the same time, the elastic member 80 pushes the rotating inner cylinder 70, the guiding outer cylinder 60, and the keycap 10 upward to return to the unpressed position.

按壓手感一般可藉由下列壓力段落作為客觀數據的衡量。按鍵壓力的段落比(Snap ratio或Click ratio,或CR%)公式={峰值力量(Peak Force)-接觸力量(Contact Force)}/峰值力量* 100%。 The pressing feel can generally be measured by objective pressure data as follows. The button ratio of the button pressure (Snap ratio or Click ratio, or CR%) formula = {Peak Force - Contact Force} / peak strength * 100%.

本實施例的按鍵壓力的段落比CR%大約為50%,提供明顯的段落感。反觀傳統的機械式開關通常是在內部設置一個壓縮彈簧,為彈簧式結構,其彈力曲線圖在峰值點到接觸點之間呈曲線, 接著呈斜線再漸漸增加阻力,手感較無明顯段落感。 The paragraph pressure of the present embodiment is about 50% greater than CR%, providing a clear sense of paragraph. In contrast, the traditional mechanical switch usually has a compression spring inside, which is a spring-type structure, and its elastic curve curves from the peak point to the contact point. Then it is slanted and then gradually increases the resistance, and the hand feels less obvious.
