Abstract

This invention provides a key structure of pointer input device. It comprises a shell, and a key plate. The shell comprises an upper shell, and a lower shell. Via the clipping design of the upper and lower shells, it fixes one edge of the key plate between the upper and lower shells. When the user pressed the key plate, it activates a micro switch to execute a default command. When the key arm is installed upon the shell, because the key plate needs not to be built with additional pressing structure. It is convenient to employ painting or light design to exhibit the appearance and style of the pointer input device.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to an input device, and more particularly to a key structure of an index input device using a keypad provided on a housing to present an appearance. [Previous technology] Due to the technical development of mouse, trackball, game controller and other index input devices, no matter in the design of the electronic circuit part or the design of the mouse shell structure, 3 :! is often mature, so In the technical development of the input device, most of them focus on: the improvement of the mouth structure or the enhancement of the aesthetic effect. Taking the mouse as an example, the current popular structure also adopts the keypad structure of the _ body design to attract more benefits of the keypad. In addition to the conventional upper case and the key unit ϋ n: In addition to saving the cost of manufacturing and assembling, it also adds a simple style appearance design. For example, the combination of the second f-key board and the shell of the "seamless keypad" disclosed in the patent case No. 528186 of the Republic of China is a combination of a set of seats on the convex structure below the key board and inside the body. Therefore, the overall fit display system. On the market, the related electrical products produced by Logitech use the E-shaped keypad structure to accommodate the appearance of -determination, J combined with the shell Problem; its metal causes sales on _: production and production costs under f, also, become-the necessary course to overcome / how to overcome the combination of the keypad and the housing [inventive content], by the upper housing The target input device structure with a keypad under the target includes a housing with mu: a key input of two types] key basket further includes an upper housing with a side edge 1245216 and at least one convex rib ; And, the lower casing has at least one concave portion matching one of the ribs 卩 at one side of the lower casing; and at least one key plate placed on the top of the upper casing, one side edge of the key plate extends with Engaging plate; when the key plate and the upper case are mutually connected, the engaging plate is exactly It can abut against the leading edge of the raised rib portion. In addition, when the key plate, the upper body and the lower case are combined into one body, the recessed portion can accommodate the engaging plate and the raised rib portion therebetween, so that The engaging plate of the key board can be fixedly clamped between the upper and lower shells. "The features and implementation of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiment. [Embodiment] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 * for the key structure of a device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. , Which includes a shell

It has a coordinate detection unit and a switch 21; the technical details of the coordinate detection unit are the existing ones. According to the book, I will not go into details; the micro switch 21 is used to accept the start, Execute a preset command, such as click, or turn on a function. The top surface of the strong 11 is set with two circular cutouts 111 to form-two flexible free ends, that is, a button arm in the shape of a suspension 112; the button has a convex pillar 1123 protruding downward and facing the micro-switches 21 =-a protruding lion protruding upward, when the key arm 112 is repeatedly swung downwards, the convex pillar 112a may Touch—corresponding to micro_off 21. In addition, the rear side edge of the upper casing 11 has a protruding rib portion m, and the thickness of the rib portion 113 is thick; the thickness of the wall surface of the body 2 is thin; The flange portion 114 extends rearward, and the flange portion has 6 1245216 grooves 114b, and the opening of the groove 114b is toward the front of the upper casing 11. The inner wall of the side edge of the rear of the lower casing 12 has one and the same. The convex part 121 matching the concave part 121 'The wall thickness of the concave part 121 is thinner than the wall thickness of the surrounding lower case π, and the wall surface where the concave part 121 is located is the convex rib part 113 of the lower case 12 Slightly parallel. Two keypads 30 are arranged on the top surface of the upper case 1. The two keypads 30 are smooth thin plates with curved arcs, which can just match the top surface of the upper case 1, Extending from the front side edge to the rear side edge of the upper case 彳 彳 and being parallel to each other on the two sides of the flange portion 114. The front section of the two key plates 30 adjoins one side of the flange portion 彳 14, and Yes = back hook 31 extending backwards, used to make the front section of the two keypads 3 () embedded & the slot mb, and swing up and down according to a predetermined stroke Then, the engaging plates 32 protruding after the two key plates 30 are respectively used to abut the force 4113 of the upper case 11, and the front edge of the two engaging plates 32 has a forward protruding card = 21, just It can be hooked against the leading edge of the rib portion 113, the two hooks 31, and the two engaging plates 32 can be hooked against the rib portion, so that the key button plate 30 can be stably fixed on it. On the top surface of the housing U, don't touch the convex block 112b of the two key arms 112 with the 7th blade, and make the key arm 112; when the key plate and the ^ it, the recess can just accommodate the engaging plate and the The engaging plate of the convex rib body ^ plate can be stably continued to press down on the upper and lower shells and move downward. By engaging with each of the convex blocks mb _ the key arm 112 is folded downward f to make the contact phase Corresponding micro switch 21 'executes the preset command; when each key ί is no longer affected by _recovery, in addition, the key arm 112 can also present another type. Upper casing 1: The second edge continues and has a convex column facing the frontal movement 21, and its corresponding upper casing == page, 1245216 37 "elevation angle, so that the key arm 112 End protruding on the top surface 111 of the upper, when the key sheet 30 so as to be in direct contact with the arm key 112

When the button is pressed down, the micro-motion = 1 ° arm 112 is folded, so that the convex column state is caused by the two key plates 30 facing the upper casing n. The inner side does not have the second one. The two keypads 30 can be made of transparent materials. They can even be mixed with various types of cases in the inner m without being affected by the protruding structure. Because the coloring position is not directly outside the outer boundary_ Because ΓΐΓ is rubbed off, and the transparent material can also form a crystal special body 1G.
