The key cap 36 is disposed above the bottom plate 30, and the elastic member 38 is disposed between the bottom plate 30 and the key cap 36. When the user presses the button 34, the key cap 36 moves toward the bottom plate 30 to compress the elastic member 38. At this time, the elastic member 38 stores an elastic potential energy due to elastic deformation. When the user completes the pressing, the user's finger leaves the keycap 36, and the elastic member 38 can release the elastic position energy to apply the elastic returning force of the keycap 36, thereby driving the keycap 36 to be reset.
於此實施例中,彈性件38可為一圓頂橡膠(rubber dome),但不受此限。舉例來說,彈性件38亦可為一金屬簧片。至於採用上述何者設計,其端視實際需求而定。此外,電路板32包含有對應各按鍵34之一開關321,且彈性件38對應開關321處具有一觸發部381。當使用者按壓按鍵34時,彈性件38被壓縮而使其觸發部381按壓電路板32之開關321。換句話說,電路板32之開關321可利用彈性件38的觸發部381而選擇性導通,以使使用者可藉由按壓按鍵34而執行相對應之該按鍵指令,例如輸入文字、數字或符號等。於此實施例中,電路板32可為一薄膜電路板(membrane),但不受此限。舉例來說,電路板32亦可為一般具有觸發開關之按鍵電路板。至於採用上述何者設計,其端視實際需求而定。In this embodiment, the elastic member 38 may be a rubber dome, but is not limited thereto. For example, the elastic member 38 can also be a metal spring. As for which of the above designs is used, it depends on actual needs. In addition, the circuit board 32 includes a switch 321 corresponding to each button 34, and the elastic member 38 has a trigger portion 381 corresponding to the switch 321 . When the user presses the button 34, the elastic member 38 is compressed so that the trigger portion 381 presses the switch 321 of the circuit board 32. In other words, the switch 321 of the circuit board 32 can be selectively turned on by the triggering portion 381 of the elastic member 38, so that the user can perform the corresponding key command by pressing the button 34, for example, inputting characters, numbers or symbols. Wait. In this embodiment, the circuit board 32 can be a thin film circuit board, but is not limited thereto. For example, the circuit board 32 can also be a button circuit board that generally has a trigger switch. As for which of the above designs is used, it depends on actual needs.
除此之外,按鍵34包含有一升降支撐機構40,其設置於底板30與鍵帽36之間,升降支撐機構40用來支撐鍵帽36相對於底板30進行一升降運動,舉例來說,當使用者按壓按鍵34時,升降支撐機構40可將使用者之按壓力平均分配給鍵帽36,以使鍵帽36可平穩地相對底板30向下運動,藉以穩定地觸發開關321而執行該按鍵指令。當鍵帽36於上述之復位過程中,升降支撐機構40可將彈性件38所產生之該彈性回復力平均分配給鍵帽36,以使鍵帽36可平穩地相對底板30向上運動。換句話說,升降支撐機構40可用來驅動鍵帽36平穩地相對底板30升降,以使鍵帽36於升降過程中保持平穩,有利於按鍵34作動的穩定度。In addition, the button 34 includes a lifting support mechanism 40 disposed between the bottom plate 30 and the keycap 36. The lifting support mechanism 40 is used to support the lifting and lowering movement of the keycap 36 relative to the bottom plate 30, for example, when When the user presses the button 34, the lifting support mechanism 40 can evenly distribute the pressing force of the user to the key cap 36, so that the key cap 36 can smoothly move downward relative to the bottom plate 30, thereby stably triggering the switch 321 to execute the button. instruction. When the keycap 36 is in the above-described resetting process, the lifting support mechanism 40 can evenly distribute the elastic restoring force generated by the elastic member 38 to the keycap 36 so that the keycap 36 can smoothly move upward relative to the bottom plate 30. In other words, the lifting support mechanism 40 can be used to drive the keycap 36 to smoothly move up and down relative to the bottom plate 30, so that the keycap 36 is kept stable during the lifting process, which is advantageous for the stability of the actuation of the button 34.

The bottom plate 30 has a second sliding slot 301 and a second slot 303. Further, the lifting support mechanism 40 includes a The first support member 401 and the second support member 403 are pivotally connected to the first support member 401. The first support member 401 has a first sliding portion 4010 and a first pivot portion 4012. When the first support member 401 is assembled, the first sliding portion 4010 is slidably disposed on the first chute In the 361, the first pivoting portion 4012 is rotatably pivoted in the second card slot 303. The second support member 403 has a second sliding portion 4030 and a second pivot portion 4032. The second sliding portion 4030 is slidably disposed in the second sliding slot 301 , and the second pivoting portion 4032 is rotatably pivoted in the first locking slot 363 . As described above, when the key cap 36 is driven upward by the elastic member 38, the key cap 36 can maintain the key cap 36 horizontal relative to the bottom plate 30 by the structural design of the lifting support mechanism 40 described above. Thereby, the key cap 36 can be smoothly raised and lowered with respect to the bottom plate 30 during being pressed or released.
