Abstract

The invention discloses a keyboard, which comprises a substrate, a cover plate and a plurality of keyswitches. The cover plate is disposed on the substrate, and the cover plate has a plurality of openings. Each of the plurality of keyswitches corresponds to one of the openings, and comprises a key cap, a supporting member and an elastomer. Furthermore, the supporting member is contained and disposed within the opening and is connected to the substrate and the downward surface of the key cap, for supporting the key cap to move vertically to the substrate. The elastomer is disposed in the opening and between the keycap and the substrate. Particularly, the area of the bottom of the key cap is larger than the area of the opening, such that the bottom of the key cap contacts with the top of the opening when the key cap moves toward the substrate, and the distance of travel of the keycap is restricted by the opening.

New description: [New technical field] The cover 'and _ also' the keyboard of this creation contains - the stroke of the keycap used to limit the keys on the keyboard. [Prior Art] Brain,: City: See electronic devices such as desktop computers, notebook computers, touch panels, etc., for users to operate electronic devices, and input characters. In the month, smaller industries tend to be miniaturized, and the input devices used tend to be ίί, for example, the keyboard length of the original desktop computer is about shortened, the shame needs to be shortened, and even the second is. In addition, the thickness of the keyboard is such that the button on the keyboard is pressed against the button, which may affect the tactile sensation when the user taps. The secret 'ί ', often need to be operated in meetings such as offices, conference rooms, etc., in the machine test, in the car temple, etc., because the vibration volume also becomes the user's choice of the keyboard and the electronic description of the keyboard. The operation comfort, and make it more important, the class ^ elasticity - has become the researcher in the related art to solve the [new content] creation 盘 盘 disk f-type keyboard. In particular, it is based on the schedule of the present and the user is provided with a quieter, more enjoyable experience. In addition, the thinning of the M355421 I* can also be made according to the difficulty of this creation. According to a specific embodiment, the keyboard of the present invention comprises a substrate, a plurality of buttons. The cover plate is disposed on the substrate, and the seesaw and the key respectively correspond to the opening, and the === port: the foot support member and an elastic body.

進一步,該支撐構件容置於相對應之該開口中,並且分別 ^該基板以及該鍵帽之下表面,以支撐該鍵帽相對該基板垂直運 。該彈性體則設置於該開口中,並位於該鍵帽以及該基板之 特別地,該鍵帽之底面大於該開口,致使當該鍵帽朝向該基 叛運動時,該鍵帽之底面碰觸該開口之上緣,且該鍵帽之 二 到該開口之限制。 έ 於實際應用中,該基板以及該蓋板係以焊接、鉚接、鎖螺 綠、鉚釘或黏附等方式或其他適當的方式結合。此外,於實務 中’該基板以及該蓋板也可以是一體成型。 於實際應用中’該蓋板係以一軟性材料所製成,藉此,當按 $之鍵帽碰觸該開口之上緣時,不會發出太大的聲響,以達到安 靜操作的目的。 關於本創作之優點與精神可以藉由以下的創作詳述及所附圖 式得到進一步的瞭解。 【實施方式】 請一併參閱第1Α圖至第1C圖,第1Α圖係繪示根據本創作 之一具體實施例之鍵盤1的立體視圖;第1Β圖係繪示第1Α圖中 <鍵盤1的爆炸視圖;第1C圖則繪示第1Α圖中之鍵盤1沿著 連線的剖面視圖。 如圖所示,根據本創作之鍵盤1包含一基板10、一蓋板 M355421 u、複數個按鍵μ以及一薄膜電路板16。 口二Ϊ22設於該基板10上’並且該蓋板12具有複數個開 雜沾=本具體實施例中’由於該基板10以及該蓋板12為分 ΐ心該基板10以及該蓋板12可以焊接、鉚接、螺絲鎖 口鉚釘接合、黏附或其它適當的方式進行結合。Further, the support member is received in the corresponding opening, and the substrate and the lower surface of the keycap respectively support the keycap to be vertically moved relative to the substrate. The elastic body is disposed in the opening, and is located on the keycap and the substrate. The bottom surface of the keycap is larger than the opening, so that when the keycap moves toward the base, the bottom surface of the keycap touches The upper edge of the opening, and the second of the keycap is limited to the opening.实际 In practical applications, the substrate and the cover are joined by welding, riveting, lock green, rivet or adhesion or other suitable means. Further, in practice, the substrate and the cover may be integrally formed. In practical applications, the cover is made of a soft material, whereby when the button cap is pressed against the upper edge of the opening, no loud sound is emitted to achieve the purpose of quiet operation. The advantages and spirit of this creation can be further understood by the following detailed description of the creation and the drawings. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 1C together. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a keyboard 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a keyboard in FIG. Exploded view of 1; Figure 1C shows a cross-sectional view of the keyboard 1 along the line in the first drawing. As shown, the keyboard 1 according to the present invention comprises a substrate 10, a cover M355421 u, a plurality of buttons μ, and a film circuit board 16. The cover 22 is disposed on the substrate 10' and the cover 12 has a plurality of openings. In the specific embodiment, the substrate 10 and the cover 12 can be separated by the substrate 10 and the cover 12 Welding, riveting, screw-lock rivet bonding, adhesion or other suitable means of bonding.

Of course, in practical applications, the substrate 1〇 The cover plate 12 can also be formed in a body without the need for an additional joining step. In addition, the button Μ further includes a keycap 14〇, a support structure 142, and an elasticity 144. As shown, the support structure 142 and the elastomer 144 are both disposed in the opening 12 of the J 12 . In addition, the keycap just under = surgery, and the keyboard! The substrate 1 has a second connecting portion, which is in the case of J ^. In the example, the supporting structure 142 is a scissor-type supporting structure, but in practice, the other drum micro-key lion (four) structure is not limited to • sister Further, the first connection portion 1402 and the second connection portion 102 support the surname $ 142 pivoting keycap 140 and the substrate 1 , so that the button 14 is connected to the substrate and the circuit board 16 is disposed on the substrate. 10 and the cover 12 and the thin circuit board 16 are formed at the position of the scale button 14. The elastic body 144 is located at the keycap (10) and the film board number. On the other hand, when the external force disappears, the elastic body 144 will automatically help the keycap 140 to return to the original position. Specifically, as shown, the bottom surface of the keycap (10) is larger than the opening I] Ϊ is larger than the area of the opening; or the length of the long side of the keycap is greater than the length of the long side of the opening ’ or other form). Therefore, when the key cap 140 M355421 J moves toward the substrate ίο, the bottom surface of the key cap 140 touches the contact edge, and the stroke of the key cap 140 is restricted by the opening 12〇. On the other 'because of the _ small _ key cap silk, so the # producer from above the non-right angle overlooking the keyboard of the creation, the visual effect, and the money in the actual application, the cover 12 is soft The material is made of 'plastic, rubber. Therefore, when the keycap 2: = _ the cover 12 (the upper edge of the opening 120): the purpose of quiet operation can be achieved. K emits too loud a sound. Thus, the key L2 shows the base according to the present invention - the specific embodiment of the board 3, the cover 32, and the base of the front pack 2 - and each of the protrusions has a number of μ The liquid is not placed in the venting from the opening 32 of the cover 32 to the HI = resistive liquid, and the keyboard of the embodiment will show the substrate 50 according to another embodiment of the present invention ==f' The keyboard 522 protrudes around the opening corresponding thereto. . Moreover, the sill 52 also includes the lower surface. In the embodiment of the package, the key cap 540 of the button 54 carries a recess 542 toward the substrate 50. When the keycap 540 is built, the recess 542 can accommodate the M355421 stroke to reveal the keyboard visual adjustment button. The material, the turning seam can also achieve the details of the specific embodiment, and it is hoped that the spirit can be more clearly described, and not in the preferred embodiment disclosed above, the female platoon of this ceremony is in this creation. Within the scope of the patent scope of the patent application. Because of the wide range of suspicions, the explanations are so broadly interpreted that they cover all possible changes and arrangements of equality.
