Description

[규칙 제26조에 의한 보정 01.02.2010] 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기[Revision 01.02.2010 by Rule 26] 26Sliding type mobile device
본 발명은 휴대전화와 같은 슬라이딩 타입으로 개폐되는 모바일 기기에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 특정 구조의 스프링 모듈을 이용함으로써 이동플레이트의 슬라이드 개폐 응답성을 높일 수 있고, 또 고정 및 이동 플레이트 각각에 제1 및 제2 스프링의 양단을 결합시키는 연결수단을 특정 형태로 하여 조립성을 높이고, 나아가 메탈돔스위치의 본체에 통기부를 도입하여 메탈돔스위치 내의 공기압 해소를 원활하게 유지함으로써 모바일 기기의 클릭감 및 우수한 응답성능 구현이 가능한 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a mobile device that is opened and closed by a sliding type such as a mobile phone, and more particularly, by using a spring module having a specific structure, it is possible to improve the slide opening and closing response of the moving plate, The connecting means for coupling both ends of the first and second springs in a specific form to increase the assemblability, and further, by introducing a vent to the main body of the metal dome switch to smoothly release the air pressure in the metal dome switch to feel the click of the mobile device And it relates to a sliding type mobile device capable of implementing excellent response performance.
일반적으로 모바일 기기는 개방 방식에 따라 바형(bar type), 플립형(flip type), 폴더형(folder type)과 슬라이드형(slide type)으로 분류되며, 최근에는 슬라이드형이 하나의 분류를 이루고 있다. In general, mobile devices are classified into a bar type, a flip type, a folder type, and a slide type according to an open method, and recently, a slide type is classified into one type.
슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기, 특히 슬라이드 휴대전화는 일반적으로 스프링모듈이 내장되어 이동플레이트의 슬라이드 이동을 보조하고 있다. 슬라이드 휴대전화에 장착되는 스프링모듈에 관한 기술은 다종 다양하게 제시되고 있는데, 상용화되어 범용적으로 사용되는 기본구성은 탄성을 제공하는 스프링과, 상기 스프링의 양단을 각각 고정플레이트와 이동플레이트에 회전가능하게 고정시키는 고정수단으로 이루어진다.Sliding mobile devices, especially slide mobile phones, generally have a built-in spring module to assist slide movement of the moving plate. The technology related to the spring module mounted on the slide mobile phone has been presented in various ways, the commercially available basic configuration is a spring that provides elasticity, and both ends of the spring can be rotated on the fixed plate and the movable plate, respectively It consists of a fixing means for fastening.
이미 개시되어 있는 다양한 종류의 스프링모듈 중 주식회사 세종테크의 등록특허 제0660782호(2006.12.18) [핸드폰용 슬라이딩 텐션장치"에서 개시된 바와 같이 각각 고정플레이트와 이동플레이트에 단부가 회전가능하게 결합되고, 단부 내측에는 각각 스프링의 단부가 고정되며, 평상시에는 스프링의 상하부를 감싸고 있는 제1안내부와, 제2안내부를 더 포함하는 스프링모듈이 한 축을 이루고 있다.Among the various types of spring modules already disclosed, as described in Sejong Tech Co., Ltd. Patent No. 0060782 (December 18, 2006) [Sliding Tension Device for Mobile Phone], end portions are rotatably coupled to fixed plates and moving plates, respectively. An end of each spring is fixed to the inside of the end, and a spring module further comprising a first guide part and a second guide part surrounding the upper and lower parts of the spring are formed on one axis.
스프링과 고정수단 이외에 스프링의 상하부를 감싸는 제1안내부와 제2안내부를 더 포함하는 스프링모듈은 스프링이 직선으로 응축 및 신장되는 방식으로 탄성이 강하고, 스프링모듈이 휴대전화의 이동플레이트에 가하는 부가하 적고, 스프링의 내구성이 좋은 장점을 갖지만, 제1안내부와 제2안내부의 존재로 스프링모듈의 제조원가가 높아 경쟁력이 떨어지고, 스프링모듈의 두께를 얇게 하는데 한계가 있어 최근 휴대전화의 슬림화 경향에 맞지 않는다. In addition to the spring and the fixing means, the spring module further includes a first guide part and a second guide part surrounding the upper and lower parts of the spring. The spring module is elastically strong in a manner that the spring is condensed and extended in a straight line, and the spring module is applied to the mobile plate of the mobile phone. Although the durability of the spring is good, it has the advantage of being good, but the presence of the first guide part and the second guide part makes the spring module expensive, which makes it less competitive, and there is a limit to thinning the spring module. Does not fit.
이에 제조원가를 줄이고, 슬림화 경향에 맞춰 스프링의 상하부를 감싸는 제1안내부와 제2안내부를 제거한 스프링모듈이 개시되고 있다. Accordingly, a spring module has been disclosed that reduces the manufacturing cost and removes the first guide part and the second guide part surrounding the upper and lower parts of the spring in accordance with the slimming trend.
그 중 하나가 주식회사 우영 공개특허 제2004-104359호(2004.12.10) [내구성의 토션 스프링이 설치된 슬라이딩 타입 휴대폰의 슬라이드 장치]이다. 상기 종래기술은 스프링의 일단에 고정플레이트이 홈에 삽입되는 절곡부를 구비하고, 타단에 이동플레이에 힌지핀으로 고정되는 홈을 구비하고 있다. 그리고 탄성을 강화하기 위해 2개의 스프링을 사용하면서 스프링 중앙에 코일부를 두고 있다. One of them is Wooyoung Patent Publication No. 2004-104359 (2004.12.10) [slide device of a sliding type mobile phone with a durable torsion spring]. The prior art has a bent portion into which the fixing plate is inserted into the groove at one end of the spring, and the groove is fixed to the moving play by a hinge pin at the other end. The coil is placed in the center of the spring while using two springs to strengthen the elasticity.
상기 종래기술은 스프링의 중앙에 코일부를 두고 있어 스프링의 두께가 두꺼워져 휴대전화의 슬림화 경향에 맞지 않고, 스프링의 탄성을 강화하기 위해 2개의 스프링을 사용하면서 두 스프링이 별개로 독립되어 양단이 각각 이동플레이트와 고정플레이트에 결합되게 되어 스프링의 장착 시간이 많이 소요되고, 이동플레이트가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄가 된 상태에서도 스프링은 이동플레이트를 계속 밀도록 탄성이 유지되어 있어 이동플레이트와 고정플레이트에 피로(부하)를 주게 된다. The prior art has a coil portion in the center of the spring, so that the thickness of the spring is not suitable for the slimming tendency of the mobile phone, and the two springs are independently separated by using two springs to strengthen the spring elasticity. Since it is coupled to the movable plate and the fixed plate respectively, it takes a lot of time to install the spring, and the spring is kept elastic so that the spring continues to push the movable plate even when the movable plate is completely open or completely closed. It causes fatigue (load).
한편, 일반적으로 모바일 기기, 특히 휴대전화에는 문자나 기호를 입력하기 위하여 키패드가 마련되어 있고, 이러한 키패드는 메탈돔이 구비되며, 메탈돔은 금속성(특히 스테인리스 재질)로서, 다수의 키패드 스위치들이 배열된 PCB 판 위에 배열된다. 즉 다양한 형태의 모바일 기기의 사용자가 키(자판)를 누르면 그 저면에 위치한 메탈돔도 가압되어 하부로 밀리면서 변형되고, 이러한 변형에 의하여 키패드 스위치를 눌러 스위칭 작동이 일어나게 한다.On the other hand, in general, a mobile device, particularly a mobile phone is provided with a keypad for inputting letters or symbols, the keypad is provided with a metal dome, the metal dome is metallic (especially stainless steel), a plurality of keypad switches are arranged It is arranged on the PCB plate. That is, when a user of various types of mobile devices presses a key (keyboard), the metal dome located at the bottom of the mobile device is also pressed and deformed while being pushed downward, thereby pressing the keypad switch to cause a switching operation.
이러한 메탈돔은 사용자가 키를 누를 때 손가락 끝에 클릭감을 느끼게 하고, 하부의 키패드 스위치를 보호하는 역할도 하게 되는데,The metal dome makes the user feel the click on the tip of the finger and protects the keypad switch at the bottom.
이러한 메탈돔에 관한 다양한 기술 중, 대한민국특허공개 제2003-0092301호(2003.12.06.공개) [메탈돔 스위치]가 제시되어 있는바, 상기 종래기술은 메탈 돔 스위치(metal dome switch)의 내측면에 접점돌기가 형성되는 것에 있어서, 상기 접점돌기를 메탈돔의 내측 저면에 적어도 2개 이상 형성시키고, 상기 접점돌기들을 메탈돔 내측면의 정점을 벗어난 위치에 형성시켜 구성함으로써, 메탈돔에 형성되는 접점돌기가 메탈돔의 내부로 유입되는 이물질에 의해 오염되는 것을 최소화시켜 접점이 불량률을 감소시키는 효과가 있는 것이긴 하나, 메탈돔은 금속 판재를 프레스로 가공하여 형성하는 것을 감안한다면, 상기 접점돌기를 프레스 가공시 매번 적정 크기로 동일하게 프레스로 정밀 가공하는 데에 한계가 있고, 또 소형이면서 원형의 메탈돔을 적정 높이가 되도록 프레스로 가공하는 데에도 한계가 있어 불량률이 높을 수밖에 없다. 이로 인해, 각 키의 클릭감이 동일하지 않고, 푸싱 압력에 의해서 하강되는 접점돌기의 하강 거리 또한 일정치 않은 문제점이 있으며, 또 메탈돔이 푸싱 압력에 의해서 하강시 내부에 발생하는 공기압을 해소하지 못하고 내부 공기압이 에어 스프링(air spring) 역할을 하게 되어 클릭감이나 응답성이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다.Among various technologies related to such a metal dome, Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0092301 (2003.12.06.) [Metal Dome Switch] is presented, the prior art is the inner surface of the metal dome switch (metal dome switch) In the contact projections formed in the at least two contact projections formed on the inner bottom surface of the metal dome, and formed by forming the contact projections at a position outside the vertex of the inner metal dome, formed on the metal dome Although the contact projections have the effect of minimizing the contamination by foreign substances introduced into the metal dome, the contact point has an effect of reducing the defective rate, but considering that the metal dome is formed by processing a metal plate with a press, the contact projections In press processing, there is a limit to precision machining with the same press every time with the proper size. There is a limit even to machine the press inevitably high failure rate. For this reason, the feeling of click of each key is not the same, and the falling distance of the contact protrusion lowered by the pushing pressure is also inconsistent, and the metal dome does not relieve the air pressure generated when the metal dome falls due to the pushing pressure. It does not have the problem that the internal air pressure acts as an air spring (air spring) to reduce the feeling of click or responsiveness.

즉, 제1스프링의 양단이 가장 근접된 지점에서 이동플레이트를 위나 아래로 조금만 이동시키면 그때부터는 제1스프링과 제2스프링의 탄성으로 이동플레이트는 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄되는 방향으로 자동 슬라이드 이동된다. That is, if the moving plate is slightly moved up or down at a point where both ends of the first spring are closest to each other, then the moving plate automatically slides in the direction of being completely open or completely closed due to the elasticity of the first spring and the second spring.
형상변화와 관련하여 상기 제1스프링(111)은 이동플레이트(13)가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄된 상태로 슬라이드 이동된 때에는 직선이고 그 외에는 라운드지고, 상기 제2스프링(112)은 이동플레이트(13)가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄된 상태로 슬라이드 이동된 때에도 라운드져 있다.In relation to the shape change, the first spring 111 is a straight line when the movable plate 13 is moved in a completely open or completely closed state and is otherwise rounded, and the second spring 112 is the movable plate 13. ) Is also rounded when the slide is moved in the fully open or fully closed state.
즉, 제2스프링(112)은 제1스프링(111)보다 길이가 긴데, 그 핵심은 길이 및 형상 차이에 있는 것이 아니라 상기 제1스프링은 상기 이동플레이트의 개폐 완료시 탄성이 소멸되고, 상기 제2스프링은 상시 탄성을 유지하는 것이다.That is, the second spring 112 is longer than the first spring 111, the core is not in the difference in length and shape, but the first spring is extinguished when the opening and closing of the movable plate is completed, the first spring The two springs are to maintain elasticity at all times.
제2스프링(112)은 그 강약의 차이는 있으나 항시 탄성을 가져 제1스프링(111)의 탄성에 자신의 탄성을 보태 이동플레이트(13)가 보다 신속 원활하게 슬라이드 이동되도록 하고, 제1스프링(111)은 이동플레이트(13)가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄된 상태에서는 탄성은 소멸되고 이동플레이트(13)가 제2스프링(112)의 탄성에 의해 더 이상 슬라이드 이동되는 것을 제한하여 이동플레이트(13)와 고정플레이트에 피로가 가해지는 것을 최소화 한다.The second spring 112 has a difference in strength and weakness, but has elasticity at all times to add its elasticity to the elasticity of the first spring 111 so that the moving plate 13 can be slid and moved more quickly and smoothly, and the first spring ( 111 indicates that the elasticity is extinguished when the movable plate 13 is completely open or completely closed, and the movable plate 13 is no longer slid by the elasticity of the second spring 112 so that the movable plate 13 Minimize fatigue on and fixing plates.
항시 탄성을 갖고 있는 제2스프링(112)을 제거하면 이동플레이트가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄된 상태에서 스프링의 탄성에 의해 받는 피로는 없겠지만, 이동플레이트(13)가 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄로 갈수록 제1스프링의 탄성이 약해져 이동플레이트이 슬라이드이동이 신속, 원활하게 이루어지지 않는다. 이를 보완하는 것이 제2스프링(112)의 또 다른 역할이다.Removing the second spring 112, which is always elastic, does not cause fatigue due to the spring elasticity when the movable plate is completely open or completely closed, but as the movable plate 13 is fully opened or completely closed, the first spring is closed. The elasticity of the spring is weakened, so the movable plate does not move quickly and smoothly. Complementing this is another role of the second spring (112).
이와 같이 스프링 모듈에서 상시 탄성을 갖는 제2스프링과, 탄성이 개폐 완료시에는 소멸하는 제1스프링으로 이원화하여 슬라이드 개폐 초기 동작시의 저항감을 줄일 수 있어 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄 된 상태에서는 탄성력을 최소화할 수 있어 획기적으로 부드러운 슬라이드 개폐 초기 동작이 가능하면서도 슬라이드 동작이 본격화 할 경우에는 양 스프링의 탄성이 함께 작용하여 신속한 이동이 가능하며 이러한 개폐 동작의 초기 및 중기 이후 동작시의 탄성 변화로 이동플레이트나 고정플레이트에 가해지는 스트레스를 최소화할 수 있는 두 가지 주요 기능을 모두 충족시킬 수 있다.In this way, the spring spring module is dualized with the second spring having always-on elasticity and the first spring that is extinguished when the elasticity is opened and closed, thereby reducing the resistance during the initial operation of slide opening and closing, thereby minimizing the elastic force in the fully opened or completely closed state. It is possible to make the initial opening and closing of the slide smoothly, but when the slide movement is in full swing, the elasticity of both springs works together to enable the rapid movement. Both key functions can be met to minimize the stress on the plate.
상기 제1스프링(111) 및 제2스프링(112)은 탄성이 좋은 강선 한 가닥을 사용할 수도 있고, 가는 와이어 수십 개를 엮어(꼬아서) 만들어 사용할 수도 있다. 그리고 단면은 원형이 일반적이겠으나, 탄성을 보다 높이기 위해 단면이 직사각형 형상인 일명 판스프링이 사용될 수도 있다. 그리고 제1스프링(111) 및 제2스프링(112)은 각각 한 개를 사용할 수도 있지만, 탄성력을 높이기 위해 각각 수개 겹쳐 사용할 수도 있다. 도 10의 [C]에는 제1 및 제2 스프링 각각이 두 가닥의 강선으로 구성된 형태가 도시되어 있다. The first spring 111 and the second spring 112 may use a single strand of good elastic wire, or may be used by making dozens of fine wires. Although the cross section is generally circular, so-called leaf spring having a rectangular cross section may be used to increase elasticity. In addition, although the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 may each use one, each of the plurality of springs may be used to increase the elastic force. In FIG. 10C, each of the first and second springs includes two strands of steel wires.
다음으로 도 8, 도 9, 도 10 [A]에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이, 상기 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112)의 양단을 각각 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)에 회전가능하게 고정시키는 연결수단은 제1 및 제2 스프링(111)(112)의 각 단부에 결합되고, 고정홀(123d)이 형성된 고정부(123c)를 갖는 연결부재(123)와, 상기 고정홀에 결합되는 고정핀(125)(도 8 및 도 9 참조)으로 이루어지거나, 도 10의 [B]와 같이, 대안적으로 각 스프링 자체의 단부가 연장되어 원형으로 말려 형성된 제1권취부(捲取部)(121) 및 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)로 이루어진다. 상기 고정핀(125) 결합시 각 플레이트(11)(13) 접면에는 와셔(127)가 배열되어 마찰 마모 및 소음 감소를 구현할 수 있다. 이러한 연결부재(123)나 권취부(특히 상호 내외에 배열되어 하나의 동심원을 이루는 권취부)는 최근 휴대폰의 경박단소화 경향에 맞게 모듈 자체 두께를 최소화할 수 있고, 제조가 용이하고 구성 부품 수를 최소화하여 원가 절감에 이바지할 수 있도록 한다.8, 9, and 10 [A], both ends of the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 may be attached to the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 13, respectively. The connecting means for rotatably fixing is connected to each end of the first and second springs 111 and 112 and has a connecting member 123 having a fixing part 123c in which fixing holes 123d are formed. The first winding portion formed of a fixing pin 125 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) coupled to the hole, or alternatively, as shown in FIG. It consists of a 捲取 部 121 and the 2nd winding part (122). When the fixing pin 125 is coupled, the washers 127 are arranged on the contact surfaces of the plates 11 and 13 to implement friction wear and noise reduction. The connecting member 123 or the winding part (particularly, the winding part which is arranged inside and outside each other to form one concentric circle) can minimize the thickness of the module itself in accordance with the recent trend of light and small size of mobile phones, and is easy to manufacture and the number of components To minimize costs and contribute to cost reduction.
상기 고정핀(125)은 상기 제1스프링(111) 및 제2스프링(112)의 양단을 각각 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)에 고정시키는 역할과, 제1스프링(111) 및 제2스프링(112)의 회전축이 되는 축핀의 역할을 한다. The fixing pin 125 serves to fix both ends of the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 to the fixing plate 11 and the moving plate 13, respectively, and the first spring 111 and the first It serves as a shaft pin that is the rotation axis of the two springs (112).
상기 고정핀(125)은 볼트, 리벳 등이 사용될 수 있고, 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13) 내면에 고정되어 돌출되어 있는 고정돌기(미도시됨)가 사용될 수도 있다. The fixing pin 125 may be a bolt, a rivet, or the like, and a fixing protrusion (not shown) protruding from the fixing plate 11 and the inner surface of the moving plate 13 may be used.
그리고 상기 고정핀(125)은 상기 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112) 모두를 위한 것으로, 공용으로 사용되는데, 즉, 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112)이 각각 별개로 고정핀(125)에 의해 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)에 회전가능하게 결합되는 것이 아니라, 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112) 양단이 각각 하나의 고정핀(125)에 의해 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)에 회전가능하게 결합된다. In addition, the fixing pin 125 is for both the first spring 111 and the second spring 112, and is used in common, that is, the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 are separate from each other. The fixed pin 125 is not rotatably coupled to the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 13, but both ends of the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 each have one fixed pin 125. It is rotatably coupled to the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate (13) by.
그리하여 2개의 스프링을 사용하지만 1개의 스프링을 플레이트에 장착하는 것 이상의 추가 공정이 없어 장착이 용이 신속하게 행해지므로 생산성이 높아진다.Thus, two springs are used, but there is no additional process than mounting one spring on the plate, so the mounting is quick and easy, thus increasing productivity.
연결수단으로서 상기 연결부재(123)는 상기 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112)의 단부가 고정핀(125)을 통해 상기 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)에 회전가능하게 고정되도록 한다.상기 연결부재(123)는 평탄부(123a), 절곡부(123b), 고정부(123c)를 포함하여 이루어진다. 상기 평탄부(123a)는 내면에 상기 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112)의 단부가 접촉되어 놓이고, 외면은 고정플레이트(11) 또는 이동플레이트(13)의 내면을 향하게 된다.The connecting member 123 is connected to the fixing plate 11 and the movable plate 13 by end pins 125 of the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 as connecting means. The connection member 123 includes a flat portion 123a, a bent portion 123b, and a fixing portion 123c. The flat portion 123a is disposed at the end portions of the first spring 111 and the second spring 112 in contact with an inner surface thereof, and the outer surface thereof faces the inner surface of the fixed plate 11 or the movable plate 13.
그리고 상기 절곡부(123b)는 상기 평탄부(123a) 양측에 연장되어 있고, 내면을 향하여 절곡된 후에 압착되어 제1스프링(111)과 제2스프링(112)을 압착 고정시킨다. The bent portion 123b extends on both sides of the flat portion 123a, and is bent toward the inner surface to be crimped to press-fix the first spring 111 and the second spring 112.
상기 평탄부(123a)의 외면이 고정플레이트(11) 또는 이동플레이트(13)의 내면을 향하는 것은 만약 스프링 양단을 감싸기 위하여 상대적으로 두꺼워 지는 절곡부(123b)를 각 플레이트 내면을 향하여 배열하는 경우 각 플레이트와 접촉하여 마찰이 발생될 우려가 있는 것에 비하여 스프링 양단을 감싸는 절곡부(123b)의 대편에 배열되는 평탄부(123a)가 각 플레이트 내면 쪽을 향하도록 배열할 경우에는 마찰 및 소음발생 예상 원인을 원천 제거되어 마찰저항을 줄려 마모를 방지하고, 마찰에 따른 소음의 발생을 억제함과 아울러, 극소한 두께 감소도 절실하고 치열한 휴대폰 슬림화 개발 경쟁에 부응할 수 있다.The outer surface of the flat portion 123a is directed toward the inner surface of the fixed plate 11 or the movable plate 13 if the bent portion 123b, which is relatively thickened to surround both ends of the spring, is arranged toward the inner surface of each plate. When the flat portion 123a arranged on the opposite side of the bent portion 123b surrounding both ends of the spring is directed toward the inner surface of each plate, the friction and noise may be caused by contact with the plate. It can reduce the frictional resistance to prevent wear, suppress the occurrence of noise caused by friction, and also minimize the thickness reduction, and can meet the competition for the development of intense mobile phone slimming.
또 상기 고정부(123c)는 평탄부(123a)에서 외측으로 연장되어 있고, 상기 고정핀(125)이 삽입결합되는 고정홀(123d)이 형성되어 있다. 특히 상기 고정홀(123d)은 제1 및 제2 스프링(111)(112)의 양단 집결지점을 연결하는 가상의 직선상에서 편심된 위치에 배열되어 있어 슬라이드 개폐 초기 동작시의 저항감을 줄여 보다 완벽하게 부드러운 동작을 구현하도록 한다.In addition, the fixing part 123c extends outward from the flat part 123a, and a fixing hole 123d into which the fixing pin 125 is inserted is formed. In particular, the fixing hole 123d is arranged at an eccentric position on an imaginary straight line connecting the collecting points of both ends of the first and second springs 111 and 112 to more completely reduce the resistance during the initial opening and closing of the slide. Ensure smooth operation.
도면에서 제1 및 제2 스프링(111)(112)의 양단 '집결지점'은 상기 연결부재(123)의 평탄부(123a) 및 절곡부(123b)의 접면에 해당하므로, 도면과 관련하여 표현하면 '편심'은 상기 고정홀(123d)이 상기 제1스프링(111)의 양단을 연결하는 가상의 직선에서 일측으로 편심되어 있는 것에 해당하고, 나아가 제1스프링(111)의 일단과 타단에 구비되는 두 고정홀(123d)은 상기 가상의 직선에서 상호 반대측에 위치하는 것이 바람직하다. In the drawing, both ends of the first and second springs 111 and 112 'collecting points' correspond to the contact surfaces of the flat portion 123a and the bent portion 123b of the connecting member 123. The lower side 'eccentric' corresponds to that the fixing hole 123d is eccentric to one side in an imaginary straight line connecting both ends of the first spring 111, and further provided at one end and the other end of the first spring 111. Preferably, the two fixing holes 123d are located on opposite sides of the virtual straight line.
이러한 편심구조를 통하여 제2스프링의 탄성이 개폐 완료지점에서도 지렛대의 원리와 같이 고정핀에 작용하는 상태에 있으므로 보다 원활한 초기 개폐 동작이 가능하게 되고, 나아가 두 고정홀(123d)을 편심되고 반대측에 배치시킴으로서 이동플레이트(13)의 초기 이동시, 즉, 제1스프링(111)이 완전개방 또는 완전폐쇄 상태에서 슬라이드 이동되기 시작하는 시점에서 직선의 제1스프링(111)이 라운드지는 것에 대항하는 저항을 최소화하여 슬라이드 이동을 부드럽게 한다. Through this eccentric structure, since the elasticity of the second spring is in the state of acting on the fixing pin as in the principle of the lever, even at the completion point of opening and closing, more smooth initial opening and closing operation is possible, and furthermore, the two fixing holes 123d are eccentric and opposite to each other. By placing, the resistance against the rounding of the first spring 111 in a straight line at the time of the initial movement of the movable plate 13, i.e., at the time when the first spring 111 starts to slide in the fully open or fully closed state, Minimize to smooth slide movement.
한편, 도 10의 [B]와 같이, 연결수단을 이루는 상기 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)는 각각 제1스프링(111)의 양단과 제2스프링(112)의 양단부가 연장되어 원형으로 말려 형성된 것으로, 스프링 모듈의 박형화 및 마찰소음 감소 목적 달성을 위하여 대안적으로 별도의 연결부재가 아니라 제1 및 제2 스프링 단부 자체가 원형으로 말려 형성된 각각 제1 및 제2 권취부(捲取部)를 도입한 것이다.On the other hand, as shown in [B] of Fig. 10, the first winding portion 121 and the second winding portion 122 forming the connecting means, respectively, of the first spring 111 Both ends and the two ends of the second spring 112 is formed to be rolled in a circular shape, in order to achieve the purpose of thinning and reducing the friction noise of the spring module, the first and second spring ends themselves are circular instead of a separate connecting member. The 1st and 2nd winding-up parts which were rolled up and formed were introduce | transduced, respectively.
특히 각 권취부는 스프링의 두께를 두껍게 하는 토션부를 형성하지 않고 상호 내외에 배열되어 하나의 동심원을 이루고, 상기 동심원 중앙에는 고정핀이 끼워져 상기 양 플레이트 각각에 결합되는 형태로 구성되어 스프링 모듈의 박형화를 구현하도록 하였다.Particularly, each winding part is arranged inside and outside each other without forming a torsion part that thickens the thickness of the spring to form a single concentric circle, and a fixing pin is fitted in the center of the concentric circle to be coupled to each of the two plates to reduce the thickness of the spring module. It was implemented.
나아가 제1 및 제2 권취부(121)(122)는 상호 반대 반향으로 말린 형태여서 권취부 시작지점에서의 각 스프링이 접촉하지 않고 분리된 형상을 이루므로 각 플레이트의 슬라이드 이동에 따라 스프링이 절곡변형되는 경우에도 권취부 부근에서의 양 스프링의 상호 충돌이 방지되어 마찰소음 감소의 구현이 가능하다.Furthermore, the first and second windings 121 and 122 are rolled in opposite directions so that the springs at the starting point of the windings do not contact each other to form a separate shape, and thus the springs are bent according to the slide movement of each plate. Even when deformed, mutual collision of both springs in the vicinity of the winding part is prevented, so that friction noise reduction can be realized.
도 10의 [B]의 확대된 원 내에 도시된 바와 같이, 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)는 동일평면상에 배치되면서 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)가 제1밀림부의 외측을 감싸고, 고정핀(125)을 축으로 회전하는 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)가 서로의 회전을 방해하지 않도록 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)의 말리는 방향은 반대로 되어 있다.As shown in the enlarged circle of [B] in FIG. 10, the first winding part 121 and the second winding part 122 are disposed on the same plane and are arranged on the second plane. The winding part 122 surrounds the outer side of the first jungle part, and the first winding part 121 and the second winding part which rotate the fixing pin 125 about the axis. The direction of curling of the 1st winding part 121 and the 2nd winding part 122 is reversed so that the (122) does not prevent mutual rotation.
아울러 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)에 삽입 고정되는 고정핀(125)이 돌출되어 스프링모듈의 두께가 두꺼워지지 않도록 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)는 단차져 있어 고정핀(125)의 헤드를 수용한다. 한편, 상기 각 권취부가 형성하는 동심원 중앙구멍에는 고정핀이 끼워지는데, 도시된 바와 달리 상기 동심원은 역시 스프링의 양단 집결지점을 연결하는 가상의 직선상에서 편심된 위치에 배열되도록 변형될 수 있다.In addition, the first winding unit so that the thickness of the spring module is not thickened by protruding the fixing pin 125 inserted into the first winding unit 121 and the second winding unit 122 to be fixed. The 121 and the second windings 122 are stepped to accommodate the head of the fixing pin 125. On the other hand, the fixing pin is inserted into the concentric central hole formed in each of the windings, unlike the concentric circles can also be modified to be arranged in an eccentric position on a virtual straight line connecting the collecting points of both ends of the spring.
상기 와셔(127)는 상기 고정핀(125)에 삽입되고, 상기 고정플레이트(11)와 이동플레이트(13)의 내면과 상기 연결부재(123)의 평탄부(123a) 또는 제1권취부(捲取部)(121) 및 제2권취부(捲取部)(122) 사이에 배치되어 이들의 직접 접촉에 의한 마찰에 따른 마모를 방지하고, 소음의 발생을 억제하며, 제1권취부(捲取部)(121)와 제2권취부(捲取部)(122)가 보다 원활하게 회전될 수 있도록 한다. 그리고 이동플레이트 외면 쪽에 장착되는 각종 전자부품과, 고정플레이트 외면 쪽에 장착되는 각종 전자부품 간에 전기적 연결을 위해 별도의 전선을 사용하지 아니하고, 제1스프링과 제2스프링, 그리고 제1스프링과 제2스프링의 양단을 고정플레이트와 이동플레이트 내면에 각각 고정시키는 고정핀을 전기가 흐를 수 있는 금속재질로 함으로써 해결될 수 있다.The washer 127 is inserted into the fixing pin 125, and the inner surface of the fixing plate 11 and the movable plate 13 and the flat portion 123a or the first winding portion of the connecting member 123. It is disposed between the first 121 and the second winding 122 to prevent abrasion due to friction due to their direct contact, to suppress the occurrence of noise, the first winding取 部 121 and the second winding (122) is to be rotated more smoothly. The first and second springs, and the first and second springs, do not use separate wires for electrical connection between the various electronic components mounted on the outer side of the movable plate and the various electronic components mounted on the outer side of the fixed plate. It can be solved by using a metal material through which the fixing pins for fixing both ends of the fixing plate and the inner surface of the moving plate can flow electricity.
다음으로 본 발명의 다른 태양(態樣, aspect)에 따른 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기의 분해 사시도인 도 11 내지 도 15에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기는 고정플레이트(10), 이동플레이트(20), 스프링(30)을 포함하여 이루어지고, 상기 스프링(30)의 양단과 상기 고정플레이트(10) 및 이동플레이트(20)의 내면에는 각각 결합부와 연결수단이 구비되어 있다. 상기 고정플레이트(10)와 이동플레이트(20) 내면 사이에는 일정 공간을 형성한 채 서로 접하도록 포개지고, 양측면에서 레일을 통해 결합되어 이동플레이트(20)가 슬라이드 이동한다. 상기 레일로는 이동플레이트(20)의 양측면 내측에 형성되어 있는 가이드홈(21)과, 상기 고정플레이트(10)의 양측면에 돌출되어 있으면 상기 가이드홈에 삽입되는 슬릿(11)을 사용하였는데, 다양한 변형예 레일의 선택이 가능하다. 상기 고정플레이트(10)와 이동플레이트(20)는 종래의 것과 대동소이하므로 이에 대한 더 이상의 구체적인 설명은 생략한다. Next, as can be seen in Figure 11 to 15, which is an exploded perspective view of a sliding type mobile device according to another aspect of the present invention, the sliding type mobile device according to the present invention is a fixed plate 10, It comprises a moving plate 20, the spring 30, and both ends of the spring 30 and the inner surface of the fixed plate 10 and the moving plate 20 is provided with a coupling portion and a connecting means, respectively. Between the fixed plate 10 and the inner surface of the movable plate 20 overlapping each other while forming a predetermined space, and is coupled through the rail on both sides, the movable plate 20 slides. As the rail, guide grooves 21 formed on both side surfaces of the movable plate 20 and slits 11 inserted into the guide grooves when protruding from both side surfaces of the fixed plate 10 were used. Modification rails can be selected. Since the fixed plate 10 and the movable plate 20 are almost the same as the conventional ones, further detailed description thereof will be omitted.
도 11에서, 상기 고정플레이트(10)와 이동플레이트(20)에 형성되어 상기 스프링(30) 단부에 구비되어 있는 연결수단(50)가 결합되는 상기 결합부(40)는 삽입공(41), 걸림공(43) 및 수용홈(45)을 포함하여 이루어진다(도 11, 도 13, 도 14 각각에서 결합부의 각 부분 두께는 이해의 편의상 과장되게 표현함). In FIG. 11, the coupling part 40 formed at the fixed plate 10 and the movable plate 20 to which the connection means 50 provided at the end of the spring 30 is coupled is an insertion hole 41, It comprises a locking hole 43 and the receiving groove 45 (in Figure 11, 13, 14, respectively, the thickness of each portion of the coupling portion is exaggerated for ease of understanding).
상기 삽입공(41)과 걸림공(43)은 서로 연결되어 있고, 걸림공(43)은 삽입공(41)의 외측에 배치되고, 삽입공(41)은 상기 연결수단(50)의 삽입부(51)가 용이하게 삽입되도록 그 내경이 삽입부(51)의 외경보다 크고, 걸림공(43)은 상기 걸림부(53)가 삽입되되 걸림부(53)가 걸림공(43)을 형성하는 플레이트의 내외면에 걸릴 수 있게 삽입공(41)의 내경보다 작은 폭을 갖는다. 상기 수용홈(45)은 상기 걸림공(43)의 외면에 형성되고, 삽입되어 결합되어 있는 상기 연결수단(50)의 삽입부(51)의 단부가 돌출되지 않도록 한다. The insertion hole 41 and the locking hole 43 are connected to each other, the locking hole 43 is disposed outside the insertion hole 41, the insertion hole 41 is the insertion portion of the connecting means 50 The inner diameter of the inserting portion 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the inserting portion 51 so that the inserting portion 51 is easily inserted, and the catching hole 43 is inserted into the catching portion 53 while the catching portion 53 forms the catching hole 43. It has a width smaller than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 41 to be caught on the inner and outer surfaces of the plate. The receiving groove 45 is formed on the outer surface of the engaging hole 43, so that the end of the insertion portion 51 of the connecting means 50 is inserted and coupled does not protrude.
상기 스프링(30)의 양단에 각각 구비되어 상기 고정 또는 이동 플레이트의 결합부(40)에 결합되는 연결수단(50)(도 11의 확대된 원 내 단면도 참조)는 삽입부(51), 걸림부(53) 및 베이스(50A)를 포함하여 이루어지고, 사출성형되어 상기 스프링(30)의 단부에 결합된다. 즉, 스프링(30)을 금형에 인서트시킨 후에 수지를 금형에 부어 연결수단(50)를 형성함과 동시에, 연결수단(50)가 스프링(30)의 단부(36A)에 결합되도록 한다. The connecting means 50 (refer to the enlarged circle cross-sectional view in FIG. 11) provided at both ends of the spring 30 and coupled to the engaging portion 40 of the fixed or movable plate is an insertion portion 51 and a locking portion. Comprising 53 and the base (50A), it is injection molded and coupled to the end of the spring (30). That is, after inserting the spring 30 into the mold, resin is poured into the mold to form the connecting means 50, and at the same time, the connecting means 50 is coupled to the end 36A of the spring 30.
상기 베이스(50A)의 일단에는 상기 스프링(30)의 단부가 결합되고, 타단에는 상기 삽입부(51)가 돌출 형성된다. 상기 삽입부(51)는 상기 베이스(50A)의 단부에서 수직방향으로 돌출 형성되고, 그 외경은 상기 삽입공(41)의 내경보다 작고 상기 걸림부(53)의 폭보다는 크다. 그리하여 삽입공(41)에는 쉽게 삽입되고, 걸림부(53)에는 걸리게 된다. 상기 걸림부(53)는 상기 삽입부(51)의 하부에 형성되고, 상기 걸림공(43)에 삽입되어 걸림부(53)의 상하부 내면이 상기 걸림공(43)을 형성하는 플레이트의 내외면에 접촉되어 걸리게 된다. An end of the spring 30 is coupled to one end of the base 50A, and the insertion part 51 protrudes from the other end. The insertion portion 51 is formed to protrude in the vertical direction at the end of the base 50A, the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 41 and larger than the width of the locking portion 53. Therefore, it is easily inserted into the insertion hole 41 and caught by the locking portion 53. The locking portion 53 is formed in the lower portion of the insertion portion 51, the inner and outer surfaces of the plate is inserted into the locking hole 43, the upper and lower inner surface of the locking portion 53 forms the locking hole 43 It is caught in contact with.
이와 같은 구조의 결합부(40)와 연결수단(50)를 통해 스프링(30)과 플레이트(10,20)가 결합되는 본 발명의 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기는 스프링(30)과 플레이트(10,20)를 결합시키기 위해 별도의 공구가 필요치 않고, 연결수단(50)를 결합부(40)에 삽입시킨 후 밀어주기만 하면 되므로 간이신속하게 결합이 이루어진다. The sliding type mobile device of the present invention in which the spring 30 and the plates 10 and 20 are coupled to each other through the coupling portion 40 and the connecting means 50 having the structure as described above is provided with the spring 30 and the plates 10 and 20. There is no need for a separate tool in order to insert the connection means 50 into the coupling portion 40, and then simply push the coupling is made quickly.
또한 걸림공(43)이 삽입공(41)의 외측에 배치되고 스피링(30)의 단부(36A)는 탄성에 의해 외측방향으로 힘이 작용하므로, 스프링(30)이 플레이트(10,20)에서 자연적 또는 우발적으로 이탈될 위험을 줄였다.In addition, since the engaging hole 43 is disposed outside the insertion hole 41 and the end portion 36A of the spring 30 is forced outward by the elasticity, the spring 30 is the plate (10, 20) Reduced risk of natural or accidental departure from
상기 스프링(30)은 도 11에서 보는 바와 같이 일자 형태와 양단이 서로 반대방향으로 감겨져 있고 전체적으로 반원 형태인 두 가지가 있다. 일자 형태의 스프링은 탄성력 증강을 위해 다수개의 와이어(강선)가 서로 꼬아져서 이루어지고, 반원 형태의 스프링은 탄성력 증강을 위해 와이어의 양단이 서로 반대방향으로 감아져 있다. 상기 스프링(30)의 재질은 스테인레스나 피아노선과 같이 탄성이 뛰어나고 신뢰성이 높은 금속재질로 이루어진다. As shown in FIG. 11, the spring 30 has two types of straight shape and both ends wound in opposite directions and a semicircular shape as a whole. A straight spring is formed by twisting a plurality of wires (steel wires) with each other to reinforce elastic force, and a semicircular spring is wound at opposite ends of wires to enhance elastic force. The material of the spring 30 is made of a metal material having high elasticity and high reliability, such as stainless steel or piano wire.
상기 스프링(30)은 그 일단과 타단이 각각 상기 고정플레이트(10) 및 이동플레이트(20)의 내면에 결합되어 이동플레이트(20)의 슬라이드 이동을 보조한다. 즉, 고정플레이트(10)의 중앙선을 기준으로 이동플레이트(20)가 중앙선 아래에 위치하면 스프링(30)의 탄성력은 아래로 작용하고, 중앙선 위에 위치하면 스프링(30)의 탄성력은 위로 작용하여, 사용자는 휴대폰을 개폐시에 중앙선까지 이동플레이트(20)를 밀면 그 이후에는 스프링(30)에 의해 자동으로 휴대폰이 개방되거나 폐쇄되는 것이다. One end and the other end of the spring 30 is coupled to the inner surfaces of the fixed plate 10 and the movable plate 20 to assist the slide movement of the movable plate 20. That is, when the moving plate 20 is located below the center line with respect to the center line of the fixed plate 10, the elastic force of the spring 30 acts downward, and when the moving plate 20 is located above the center line, the elastic force of the spring 30 acts upward, When the user pushes the mobile plate 20 to the center line when opening and closing the mobile phone, the mobile phone is automatically opened or closed by the spring 30 thereafter.
도 11에서 보는 바와 같이, 반원 형태의 스프링(30)은 그 단부인 일단에서 시계방향(또는 반시계방향)으로 감겨있는 제1감김부(31)와, 타단에서 반시계방향(또는 시계방향)으로 감겨있는 제2감김부(32)와, 상기 제1감김부와 제2감김부를 연결하는 곡선형의 연결부(33)를 포함하여 이루어진다. 그리고 상기 제1감김부(31), 제2감깁부(32) 및 연결부(33)는 일체로 이루어지고 동일평면상에 위치한다. As shown in FIG. 11, the semi-circular spring 30 has a first winding portion 31 wound clockwise (or counterclockwise) at one end thereof, and a counterclockwise (or clockwise) at the other end. And a second winding portion 32 wound around, and a curved connecting portion 33 connecting the first winding portion and the second winding portion. The first winding portion 31, the second winding portion 32, and the connecting portion 33 are integrally formed and positioned on the same plane.
상기 스프링(30)은 이동플레이트(20)의 이동에 따라 응축되고 신장되는 과정에서 변형이 발생되는 부분이 연결부(33)에 집중되고, 연결부에 연결되고 (고정 또는 이동)플레이트(10,20)에 결합되는 감김부(31,32)에는 변형이 발생되는 것을 최소화하여, 장기 사용에 따라 제1감김부(31)와 제2감김부(32)가 변형되어 서로 접촉되어 슬라이드이동이 방해받지 않고, 스프링(30)의 회전축이 되는 단부에 힘이 집중되는 것을 최소화할 수 있는 구조를 갖도록 개량하였다. The spring 30 has a portion in which deformation occurs in the process of condensation and extension in accordance with the movement of the moving plate 20 is concentrated on the connecting portion 33, connected to the connecting portion (fixed or moved) plates (10, 20) To minimize the occurrence of deformation in the winding portion (31,32) coupled to the first winding portion 31 and the second winding portion 32 is deformed in accordance with the long-term use is in contact with each other without the slide movement is hindered The spring 30 has been improved to have a structure capable of minimizing the concentration of force on the end of the rotation axis.
이하 도 11 및 도 14(결합부(40)와 연결수단(50)은 도 11과 다른 태양과 관련된 도 12 및 도 13에 도시된 것으로, 결합부(40)는 윤곽만 개략적으로 도시함)를 참조하여 이를 구체적으로 설명하면, 11 and 14 (coupling portion 40 and connecting means 50 are shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 in relation to aspects other than FIG. 11, coupling portion 40 schematically showing only outlines). With reference to this in detail,
상기 연결부(33)는 곡선형으로 하여 이동플레이트(20)의 이동에 따라 스프링(30)의 응축과 신장은 원활하게 이루어지도록 하면서 응축과 신장에 따라 발생된 변형이 복원이 되지 않는 영구변형이 되지 않도록 한다. The connection part 33 has a curved shape so that the condensation and extension of the spring 30 can be made smoothly according to the movement of the movable plate 20, while the deformation generated by the condensation and extension is not restored. Do not
상기 제1감김부(31) 및 제2감김부(32)는 대칭형상으로 이루어지고, 각각 그 시작점(단부)에서 내측으로 돌출되어 절곡되어 있는 제1절곡부(36)와, 상기 제1절곡부의 단부에서 직선형태로 연결되어 있는 직선부(37)와, 상기 직선부의 단부에서 외측으로 돌출되어 절곡되어 있는 제2절곡부(38)로 이루어진다. The first winding portion 31 and the second winding portion 32 is formed in a symmetrical shape, and each of the first bent portion 36 is protruded inwardly from the start point (end) and the first bend It consists of a straight part 37 connected linearly at the end of the part, and a second bent part 38 protruding outward from the end of the straight part.
상기 제2절곡부(38)와 직선부(37)는 스프링(30)의 응축과 신장에 따른 변형력이 더 이상 단부로 전달되지 않도록 하고, 제1절곡부(36) 및 제2절곡부(38)는 실제 스프링(30)의 회전축이 되는 부분은 아니나 어느 정도 회전축과 같은 역할을 하여 스프링(30)의 회전시 회전축이 되는 삽입부에 집중될 힘을 일부 담당하여, 삽입부에 걸리는 부하를 분산시킴으로서 연결수단의 내구성을 증진시키고 이동플레이트(20)의 이동과 동시에 삽입부가 자유회전되도록 하여 보다 원활하고 부드러운 슬라이드 이동이 가능하도록 한다. The second bent part 38 and the straight part 37 prevent the deformation force due to the condensation and extension of the spring 30 from being transmitted to the ends any more, and the first bent part 36 and the second bent part 38 ) Is not a part that actually becomes the rotation axis of the spring 30, but serves as a rotation axis to some extent, and is responsible for a part of the force to be concentrated on the insertion part that becomes the rotation axis when the spring 30 rotates, thereby distributing the load on the insertion part. By increasing the durability of the connecting means and at the same time the movement of the movable plate 20 to allow the insertion portion to rotate freely to enable a smooth and smooth slide movement.
도 11에 도시된 형태의 스프링 모듈은 스프링(30) 단부(36A) 탄성에 의하여 연결수단(59)가 플레이트(10)(20) 외측, 즉 결합부(40)의 걸림공(43)쪽으로 가압되므로 어느 정도 연결수단이 삽입공(41) 쪽으로 이탈될 위험이 적지만 플레이트(10)(20) 슬라이드 동작과정이나 스프링 탄성(또는 최초 고정 구조)에 따라서 연결수단(50)의 이탈 위험은 상존하게 된다. 이에 본 발명자는 도 11에 비하여 변형된 본 발명에 따른 슬라이딩 타입 모바일 기기의 전체 사시도 및 분해 사시도인 도 12 및 도 13에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이, 변형 태양을 개발하게 되었다.In the spring module of the type shown in FIG. 11, the connecting means 59 is pressed toward the outside of the plate 10, 20, that is, the engaging hole 43 of the coupling part 40 by the elasticity of the end portion 36A of the spring 30. Therefore, to some extent, there is a small risk that the connecting means is disengaged toward the insertion hole 41, but the risk of detachment of the connecting means 50 according to the slide operation or the spring elasticity (or initial fixed structure) of the plate 10, 20 remains. do. Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a modified embodiment, as can be seen in FIGS. 12 and 13, which are an overall perspective view and an exploded perspective view of a sliding type mobile device according to the present invention, which is modified compared to FIG. 11.
이러한 변형예는 우선 각 플레이트(10)(20)에 형성된 결합부(40)가 초중말(初中末) 형상이 각각 광협중(廣狹中) 크기로 연속 형성된 삽입공(41), 걸림공(44), 체류공(44)을 갖고, 연결수단(50)(도 13의 확대된 원 내 단면도 참조)는 베이스(50A) 위에 상중하(上中下) 형상이 각각 광중협(廣中狹) 크기로 연속 형성된 삽입부(51), 체류부(54), 걸림부(53)가 구비된 점에서 주요하게 다르다.In this modification, first, the engaging portions 40 formed on the plates 10 and 20 are inserted into the insertion hole 41 and the locking hole, respectively, in which the intermediate and middle shapes are respectively formed in the size of the optical narrow. 44, the retention hole 44, the connecting means 50 (see the enlarged circle cross-sectional view in Fig. 13) has a top-down shape on the base 50A, respectively, the size of the light-neutral The main part differs in that the insertion part 51, the retention part 54, and the locking part 53 which are formed continuously in the furnace are provided.
상기 결합부(40)는 역시 상기 수용홈(45)(제조 용이성을 위하여 결합부 전체에 걸쳐 형성되는 방식을 취하고 있다)을 가지며, 삽입되어 결합되어 있는 상기 연결수단(50)의 삽입부(51)의 단부가 돌출되지 않도록 한다. 결합부(40)와 연결수단(50)의 각 부분 대응관계(각각 내경 및 외경 관련 관계)는 [삽입공(41)-삽입부(51), [걸림공(43)-걸림부(53)], [체류공(44)-체류부(54)]에 해당한다.The coupling portion 40 also has the receiving groove 45 (it takes a way to be formed throughout the coupling portion for ease of manufacture), the insertion portion 51 of the connecting means 50 is inserted and coupled Do not protrude the end of). Correspondence relationship (parts related to inner diameter and outer diameter, respectively) of the coupling portion 40 and the connecting means 50 is [insertion hole 41-insertion portion 51, [engagement hole 43]-latching portion 53 ] And [retention hole 44-retention part 54].
따라서 삽입공(41)에 삽입부(51)가 끼워진 후 걸림공(43)에 걸림부(53)가 위치하도록 플레이트(10)(20) 외면을 향하여 가압하여 통과한 후, 체류공(44) 부위에서는 체류부(54)가 결합되게 된다. 따라서 연결수단(50)의 체류부(54) 외경이 걸림공(43) 내경 보다 작으므로 체류부에 위치한 연결수단(50)의 이탈 분리가 방지되는데, 이러한 이탈 방지 기능은 어느 정도 초기 형상(평면상에 위치하고 상하로 구부러지지 않은 형상)을 유지하려 하는 스프링의 탄성에 의하여 유지될 수 있고, 또 상기 결합부(40)의 전체 형상이 플레이트(10)(20) 슬라이드 이동 방향에 대하여 직교하는 방향(도 11의 결합부(40) 형상)으로 형성된 것이 아니라, 사선 방향으로 형성되어 있으므로 스프링의 탄성(연결부(33)의 중심을 향하여 작용하는 탄성)에 의하여 연결수단(50) 이탈방지 기능이 보완된다.Therefore, after the insertion part 51 is inserted into the insertion hole 41, the pressure is passed toward the outer surface of the plate 10 and 20 so that the locking part 53 is positioned at the locking hole 43, and then the staying hole 44. At the site, the stay 54 is coupled. Therefore, since the outer diameter of the retaining portion 54 of the connecting means 50 is smaller than the inner diameter of the catching hole 43, the detachment separation of the connecting means 50 located in the retaining portion is prevented. Can be held by the elasticity of the spring to be positioned on the top and not bent upward and downward, and the overall shape of the coupling portion 40 is perpendicular to the plate 10, 20 slide movement direction. (It is not formed in the shape of the coupling portion 40 of Figure 11, but is formed in an oblique direction, so that the separation preventing means 50 is prevented by the elasticity of the spring (elasticity acting toward the center of the connecting portion 33) do.
좀 더 이러한 연결수단(50) 이탈방지 기능을 강화하는 방안은 상기 걸림공(44)의 형상방향에 비하여 체류공(44)이 연통된 형상이되 체류공의 중심이 걸림공의 중심선에서 편심된 위치에 형성하는 방법에 의하여 달성될 수 있다(도 13의 하부에 변형예를 도시한 두 원 내 개략도 참조).A more strengthening method for preventing the separation of the connection means 50 is that the stay hole 44 is in communication with the shape direction of the engaging hole 44, the center of the stay hole is eccentric in the center line of the engaging hole This can be achieved by a method of forming in position (see schematic diagram in two circles showing a variant in the lower part of FIG. 13).
그러나 보다 확실한 방안은 도 13의 스프링(30) 관련 개략적인 측면도를 도시한 원 내에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이(연결수단은 생략하고 개략적으로 도시함), 상기 결합부(40)의 체류공(44)에 위치한 상기 연결수단(50)의 체류부가(54) 이탈되지 않도록, 상기 스프링(30)의 일단(36A)은 상기 이동플레이트(20)를 향하여 돌출되어 있고, 상기 스프링의 타단(36A')은 상기 고정플레이트(10)를 향하여 돌출되어 있어, 각각 스프링(30) 일단(고정플레이트(10) 결합)의 연결수단(50)와 타단(이동플레이트(20) 결합)의 연결수단이 이탈되는 것을 보다 확실하게 방지할 수 있다. However, a more obvious solution can be seen in the circle showing the schematic side view of the spring 30 of FIG. 13 (the connecting means are omitted and shown schematically), the retention holes 44 of the coupling part 40. One end 36A of the spring 30 protrudes toward the movable plate 20 so that the retention portion 54 of the connecting means 50 positioned at the) is not separated from the other end 36A 'of the spring. Is protruded toward the fixing plate 10, the connection means 50 and the other end (combination of the movable plate 20) of one end (combination of the fixed plate 10) of the spring 30, respectively It can prevent more reliably.
도 13의 변형예 도시 원 내의 스프링(30) 양단(36A)(36A')의 평면 이탈 각도는 이해의 편의상 과장되게 도시한 것이며, 실제로는 두 플레이트 내면 사이의 공간에 마찰없이 스프링이 내장될 수 있는 각도를 유지하여야 한다.The out-of-plane angles of the springs 30 at both ends 36A and 36A 'in the modified example of FIG. 13 are exaggerated for ease of understanding, and in practice the springs may be embedded without friction in the space between the two plate inner surfaces. Maintain an angle at
한편, 또 다른 변형예인 도 15에는 연결수단은 사출성형되어 스프링의 양단에 각각 결합되는 형태인 것 대신에 상기 스프링(30)의 양단부(36A)(36A')는 연장되어 원형으로 말려 중공을 갖는 권취부(捲取部)(39)를 형성하고, 상기 권취부(39)의 중공(39A)에는 상기 연결수단(50)가 결합되는 형태이다. 특히 상기 연결수단(50)는 삽입부(51) 상부가 상협하광(上狹下廣) 형상이어서(특히 플레이트(10)(20) 외면으로 노출되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 절두형(切頭形) 콘(cone) 타입이다) 그 상단이 권취부(39)의 중공(39A)에 끼워질 수 있어 가압하면 권취부(39)가 벌어지면서 전체 삽입부(51)가 통과되고, 다시 권취부는 오므라들므로 연결수단(50)의 이탈이 방지될 수 있다. 대안적으로는 상기 삽입부(51)의 외경은 상기 권취부(39)의 중공(39A) 내경보다 작아 쉽게 결합되고 상기 체류부(54)가 결합부(40) 체류공(44)에 걸리면 베이스(50A)(삽입부 보다 외경이 크다)와 체류공(44) 주변 플레이트 플렌지에 권취부(39)가 개재되므로 이탈이 방지되는 방식을 취할 수 있다. 상기 스프링(30)의 권취부(39)는 특히 도면과 같이 두 가닥(또는 그 이상)의 강선으로 형성한 경우 각 강선의 개별 권취부가 상호 내외에 배열되어 하나의 동심원을 이루는 형태여서 하나의 강선 두께를 유지하여 스프링 모듈 박형화에 일조하는 것이 바람직하다.On the other hand, in Figure 15, which is another modified example, the connecting means are injection molded and joined to both ends of the spring, respectively, instead of the ends 36A and 36A 'of the spring 30 extending to have a hollow to have a hollow. A winding portion 39 is formed, and the connecting means 50 is coupled to the hollow 39A of the winding portion 39. In particular, the connecting means 50 is the upper portion of the insertion portion 51 is upper and lower light (上 狹 下 廣) shape (especially the truncated cone to prevent exposure to the outer surface of the plate 10, 20) The upper end can be fitted into the hollow 39A of the winding-up part 39. When the pressure is applied, the winding-up part 39 opens and the entire insertion part 51 passes, and the winding-up part is retracted. Detaching of the connecting means 50 can be prevented. Alternatively, the outer diameter of the insertion portion 51 is easily smaller than the inner diameter of the hollow 39A of the winding portion 39, and the base is formed when the retention portion 54 is caught by the engagement portion 44 in the retention hole 44. The winding portion 39 is interposed between the 50A (the outer diameter larger than the insertion portion) and the plate flange around the staying hole 44, so that the separation can be prevented. In particular, when the windings 39 of the spring 30 are formed of two strands (or more) of steel wires as shown in the drawing, the individual windings of each steel wire are arranged inside and outside each other to form one concentric circle so that one steel wire It is desirable to maintain the thickness to help thin the spring module.
어느 경우에든 도 15의 모델에서는 플레이트(10)(20)와 스프링(30)의 권취부(39)가 접촉하여 마찰 마모 및 소음을 일으키지 않도록 와셔를 도입하는 것이 바람직하며, 필요에 따라 도 11 및 도 13의 모델에서도 와셔를 도입할 수 있다.In any case, in the model of FIG. 15, it is preferable to introduce a washer such that the plates 10, 20 and the windings 39 of the springs 30 do not come into contact with each other to cause frictional wear and noise. The washer can also be introduced in the model of FIG. 13.

먼저 피씨비(20)는 환형의 내접점부(21), 그리고 상기 내접점부(21)의 외측에 이격되어 배열된 환형의 외접점부(22)를 포함하여 이루어진다. 즉 상기 내접점부(21) 및 외접점부(22)는 도전성을 재질로 이루어지고, 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작에 따라 도전성의 상기 메탈돔스위치(33)의 중앙 및 외곽접촉부(32)(33)가 각각 내접점부(21) 및 외접점부는(22)를 전기적으로 연결시키게 되며, 이를 위하여 상기 내접점부(21) 및 외접점부는(22) 사이에는 절연부(미도시)를 형성하여 상호 통전되는 것을 방지할 수 있도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.First, the PCB 20 includes an annular inner contact portion 21 and an annular outer contact portion 22 spaced apart from the outer contact portion 21. That is, the inner contact portion 21 and the outer contact portion 22 are made of a conductive material, and the center and outer contact portion 32 of the conductive metal dome switch 33 according to the pushing operation of the keypad 50. 33 respectively electrically connects the internal contact portion 21 and the external contact portion 22, and for this purpose, an insulation portion (not shown) is provided between the internal contact portion 21 and the external contact portion 22. It is preferable to form so that it can prevent mutual energization.
도 1 내지 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 메탈돔스위치가 구비된 모바일 기기에서, 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)는 상기 피씨비(20) 상부에 배열된 본체(31)와, 상기 본체(31) 중심부에 배열되고, 상기 피씨비(20)의 내접점부(21)에 접속되는 중앙접촉부(32)와, 상기 본체(31) 양측부에 배열되고, 상기 피씨비(20)의 외접점부(22)에 접속되는 외곽접촉부(33)와, 그리고 상기 본체(31)에 형성되고, 상기 중앙접촉부(32) 주변에 배열된 복수의 통기부(35)를 포함하여 이루어진다.1 to 6, in the mobile device with a metal dome switch according to the present invention, the metal dome switch 30 includes a main body 31 arranged above the PC 20 and the main body ( 31 is arranged in the central portion, the central contact portion 32 is connected to the internal contact portion 21 of the PC 20, and arranged on both sides of the main body 31, the external contact portion of the PC 20 ( 22 and a plurality of vents 35 formed on the main body 31 and arranged around the central contact portion 32.
즉 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)는 생산성, 돔 형태의 높이 및 탄성의 정도에 따라 키패드에 형성된 각 키의 클릭 시 그 민감도에 주요한 요인으로 작용함으로 메탈돔스위치(30)의 응답성능을 우수하게 하기 위해서 그 구조적인 형상이 매우 중요하게 된다. 따라서 본 발명에 메탈돔스위치(30)에서 상기 본체는 돔(dome) 형태로 이루어지되, 횡광종협(橫廣縱峽) 형상을 갖도록 하는 것이 바람직하며, 상기 횡광종협이라 함은, 가로의 폭이 세로의 폭 보다 큰 형상을 의미하며, 이는 각종 모바일 기기, 특히 휴대폰에 배열되는 키패드의 형상이 횡광종협을 이루고 있는 것을 감안하여 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작에 따른 응답성 향상을 위한 것이기에, 키패드(50)와 상응한 형상을 갖도록 한 것이다. That is, the metal dome switch 30 acts as a major factor in the sensitivity of each key formed on the keypad according to the productivity, the height of the dome shape and the degree of elasticity, thereby improving the response performance of the metal dome switch 30. The structural shape becomes very important for this purpose. Therefore, in the present invention, in the metal dome switch 30, the main body is made of a dome (dome) form, it is preferable to have a lateral light narrow (橫 廣 縱 峽) shape, the horizontal light narrow, the horizontal The width means a shape larger than the vertical width, which is for improving the responsiveness according to the pushing operation of the keypad 50 in consideration of the fact that the shape of the keypad arranged in various mobile devices, especially a mobile phone, is horizontally narrow. , To have a shape corresponding to the keypad 50.
그리고 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)는 상기 피씨비(20)의 내외 접점부(21)(22) 상부에 배열되는 것으로, 상기 본체(31)의 중심부에 상기 피씨비(20)의 내접점부(21)와 접속하기 위하여 형성된 중앙접촉부(32)와, 상기 본체(31)의 양측 하부에 상기 피씨비(20)의 외접점부(22)와 접속하기 위하여 형성된 외곽접촉부(33)와, 그리고 상기 중앙 및 외곽접촉부(32)(33)를 연결하고, 푸싱에 동작에 따라 상기 중앙접촉부(32)가 하강한 후, 푸싱 압력이 해제되면 다시 원상복귀될 수 있도록 탄성력을 제공하는 리턴부(34)를 포함하여 이루어진다.In addition, the metal dome switch 30 is arranged on the inner and outer contact portions 21 and 22 of the PC 20, and the inner contact portion 21 of the PC 20 at the center of the main body 31. A central contact portion 32 formed to connect with the outer contact portion, an outer contact portion 33 formed to connect with the outer contact portion 22 of the PC 20 at both lower portions of the main body 31, and the center and the outer portion. And a return unit 34 which connects the contact portions 32 and 33 and provides an elastic force to return to the original position when the pushing pressure is released after the central contact portion 32 is lowered according to the pushing operation. Is done.
이때 상기 메탈돔스위치(33)의 중앙접촉부(32)는 둥근 지붕 형태를 취하고 있어, 상기 메탈돔스위치(30) 상부에 배열된 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시, 적정 푸싱 압력이 가해지지 못하거나, 특히 상기 중앙접촉부(32)에 대해 직각으로 푸싱 되지 않고, 기울어진 각도에서 푸싱 동작 시 상기 피씨비(20)의 내접점부(21)까지 하강하지 못하여 비(非)접속되는 경우가 발생할 수 있기 때문에, 본 발명에서는 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 중앙접촉부(32)를 상방으로 돌출된 융기(隆起)부(32a)와, 상기 융기부(32a) 내측에 배열되어 하방으로 함몰된 형태의 딤플(dimple)(32b)을 갖도록 형성된다.At this time, the central contact portion 32 of the metal dome switch 33 has a rounded roof shape, and when pushing the keypad 50 arranged on the metal dome switch 30, proper pushing pressure is not applied. In particular, the pusher may not be pushed at a right angle with respect to the central contact part 32, but may fail to be connected to the internal contact part 21 of the PC 20 when the pushing operation is performed at an inclined angle, thereby causing non-connection. Therefore, in the present invention, the central contact portion 32 of the metal dome switch 30 protrudes upward, and a dimple of a shape arranged inside the ridge 32a and recessed downward. It is formed to have (dimple) 32b.
즉, 도 5를 참조하면, 푸싱 된 키패드(50)와 상기 중앙접촉부(32)의 융기부(32a)가 상호 접촉하게 되고, 푸싱 압력에 의해서 하강하는 융기부(32a)는 중심에 딤플(32b)이 상기 피씨비(20)의 내접촉부(21)와 접속하게 되는 구조이여서 둥근 지붕 형태 보다 비접속되는 경우가 대폭 저감될 수 있는 효과가 있다. 이는 상기 딤플(32a)은 하면부는 평면 형태의 접촉면이 형성되어 상기한 바와 같이 피씨비(20)의 내접점부(21)와 접속될 수 있는 접촉면을 충분하게 확보하여 그 접속률을 보다 높여 제품의 작동신뢰성 및 소비자의 만족도를 보장할 수 있게 된다. 그리고 상기 키패드(50) 하면에 돌출부(미도시)가 형성되어 있는 경우, 돌출부가 상기 융기부(32a) 중심의 딤플(32b)에 안착되는 구조를 갖도록 형성될 수 있다.That is, referring to FIG. 5, the pushed keypad 50 and the raised portions 32a of the central contact portion 32 come into contact with each other, and the raised portions 32a lowered by the pushing pressure are dimples 32b at the center. ) Is a structure that is connected to the inner contact portion 21 of the PC 20, there is an effect that can be significantly reduced when the non-connected than the round roof shape. This is because the dimple 32a has a flat contact surface formed on the lower surface thereof, thereby sufficiently securing a contact surface that can be connected to the internal contact portion 21 of the PC 20 as described above, thereby increasing the connection rate to operate the product. Reliability and customer satisfaction can be guaranteed. When a protrusion (not shown) is formed on the bottom surface of the keypad 50, the protrusion may be formed to have a structure seated on the dimple 32b at the center of the ridge 32a.
또 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 메탈돔스위치(30) 내부의 공기압이 에어 스프링(air spring) 역할을 하게 되어 응답성이 떨어지는 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 발명에 따른 메탈돔스위치(30)의 본체(31)에는 통기부(35)가 형성되는데, 이 경우 상기 통기부(35)는 상기 중앙접촉부(32) 주변에 복수로 구비되고, 또 각 통기부(35)는 상호 대칭된 위치에 형성된다. 즉 상기 통기부(35)는 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 발생하는 공기압을 해소하기 위하여 상기 중앙접촉부(32)와 연결되고, 그 주변에 위치하는 리턴부(34)에 형성되며, 이 경우 상기 통기부(35)는 원형, 타원형, 또는 장방형 형태를 갖는 홀형태의 통기공(35a)으로 이루어지는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, in order to solve the problem that the air pressure inside the metal dome switch 30 acts as an air spring during the pushing operation of the keypad 50 to reduce the responsiveness of the metal dome switch 30 according to the present invention. The main body 31 is provided with a vent 35, in which case the vent 35 is provided in plural around the central contact portion 32, each vent 35 is formed in a symmetrical position do. That is, the vent part 35 is connected to the central contact part 32 and is formed in the return part 34 located in the periphery thereof in order to solve the air pressure generated during the pushing operation of the keypad 50. The vent 35 is preferably formed of a hole-shaped vent 35a having a circular, elliptical, or rectangular shape.
이는 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 키패드(50)의 하면부가 중앙접촉부(32)의 융기부(32a)를 가압하여 딤플(32b)의 하면부가 피씨비(20)의 내접점부(21)에 접속되도록 하는 경우, 만약 상기 통기부(35)가 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 키패드(50)의 하면부와 맞닿을 수 있는 부분에 형성되면, 키패드(50)에 의하여 통기부(35)가 막혀 메탈돔스위치(30) 내의 공기압을 해소할 수 없어 클릭감이 현저하게 떨어지고, 이에 의하여 응답성능이 나빠져 제품의 신뢰가 떨어지게 되는 것을 해결하기 위한 것이다.This is because when the keypad 50 is pushed, the lower surface of the keypad 50 presses the ridge 32a of the central contact portion 32 so that the lower surface of the dimple 32b is applied to the internal contact portion 21 of the PC 20. In the case of the connection, if the vent part 35 is formed in a part that can be in contact with the bottom part of the keypad 50 during the pushing operation of the keypad 50, the vent part 35 is formed by the keypad 50. It is to solve that the air pressure in the metal dome switch 30 is not blocked and the click feeling is significantly decreased, whereby the response performance is deteriorated and the reliability of the product is lowered.
따라서 상기 통기부(35)를 키패드(50)와 접촉되는 중앙접촉부(35)를 피하여, 그 주변에 형성하여 메탈돔스위치(30) 내의 공기압을 원활하게 해소하여 클릭감 및 응답성능을 좋게 하여 제품의 신뢰를 높일 수 있게 된다. 이때 특히 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 통기부(35)는 횡광종협 형상인 메탈돔스위치(30)의 중심을 가로지르는 종선(縱線)(V)을 기준으로 좌우 대칭되게 형성되는 것이 더 바람직하되, 전후로 무게 중심이 치우치지 않도록 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 종선(V)에 좌우 대칭되면서 횡선(橫線)(H)에 위 아래에 대칭되도록 형성되는 것이 더욱 바람직하다.Therefore, the vent part 35 is formed around the central contact part 35 which is in contact with the keypad 50, and is formed around the product to smoothly release the air pressure in the metal dome switch 30 to improve the feeling of click and response. Will increase your trust. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the vent part 35 is more symmetrically formed on the basis of a vertical line V crossing the center of the metal dome switch 30 having a transverse narrow narrow shape. Preferably, it is more preferably formed so as to be symmetrical to the horizontal line (H) while being symmetrical to the vertical line (V) of the metal dome switch 30 so as not to be biased back and forth.
여기서, 상기 통기부(35)의 통기공(35a)은 종선(V) 기준으로 좌우 1개씩 형성될 수 있고,(도 4의 (나) 참조) 또 좌우 2개 이상의 복수개씩 형성될 수 있으며,(도 4의 (가) 참조) 또 좌우 1개씩이되, 전후로 길이가 긴 장방형 형태(장방형의 호(弧) 형상으로 이루어질 수 있음)의 구멍으로 형성될 수 있고(도 4의 (다) 참조), 더 나아가 첨부된 도면에 도시되지 않았지만 중앙접촉부의 융기부 주변에 방사상 형태로 대칭되도록 형성되는 것 또한 가능하다.Here, the vent holes 35a of the vent part 35 may be formed one by one on the left and right on the basis of the vertical line (V) (refer to (b) of FIG. 4) and may be formed by a plurality of two or more left and right, (See Fig. 4 (a)) Also, one by one left and right, it can be formed into a hole of a rectangular shape (which can be formed in a rectangular arc shape) of long length before and after (see Fig. 4 (c)). Further, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, it is also possible to be formed to be radially symmetrical around the ridge of the central contact portion.
따라서 상기 키패드(50) 푸싱 동작 시 푸싱 압력에 의해서 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 중앙접촉부(32)가 하강하게 되고, 이때 발생하는 공기압은 상기 통기공(35a)을 통하여 상부측으로 빠져나가게 되고, 푸싱 압력 해제 시 상기 리턴부(34)의 탄성력에 의해서 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 중앙접촉부(32)가 상승하게 되고, 이때 발생하는 공기압은 상기 통기공(35a)을 통하여 내부로 유입된다.Therefore, when the keypad 50 is pushed, the central contact portion 32 of the metal dome switch 30 is lowered by the pushing pressure, and the air pressure generated at this time is discharged to the upper side through the vent hole 35a. When the pushing pressure is released, the central contact part 32 of the metal dome switch 30 is raised by the elastic force of the return part 34, and the air pressure generated at this time is introduced into the air through the vent hole 35a.
다시 말하면, 상기 메탈돔스위치(30) 내부의 공기압은 푸싱 및 푸싱 해제 시 상기 통기공(35a)을 통해 내외부로 유통되어 메탈돔스위치(30)의 응답성을 향상시키게 되고, 아울러, 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)는 대략 150~220mg 정도의 중량인 것을 감안한다면, 적정 수의 통기공(35a)을 형성하여 기준치 이내의 중량에 맞추어 생산할 수 있는 부가적 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 더 나아가 상기 각 통기부(35)(통기공(35a))이 상호 대칭되는 형태로 배열되는 것은 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 어느 방향에서 눌려지든 일정한 하중에 의하여 중앙접촉부가 가압되도록 하기 위한 것으로 이에 의하여 메탈돔스위치(30)는 가압 하중에 대하여 어느 방향에서든지 균등하게 가압되어 작동신뢰성을 보장할 수 있어 응답성능을 더욱 우수하게 유지할 수 있게 된다.In other words, the air pressure inside the metal dome switch 30 is distributed to the inside and outside through the vent hole 35a when pushing and releasing the push to improve the responsiveness of the metal dome switch 30, and the metal dome Considering that the switch 30 has a weight of about 150 to 220 mg, an additional effect that can be produced in accordance with the weight within the reference value by forming an appropriate number of vents 35a can be expected. Furthermore, the vents 35 (vents 35a) are arranged in a symmetrical form so that the central contact portion is pressed by a constant load no matter which direction is pressed during the pushing operation of the keypad 50. As a result, the metal dome switch 30 may be evenly pressed in any direction with respect to the pressurized load to ensure the operation reliability, thereby maintaining the response performance more excellently.
또 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)는 일반적으로 금속 판재를 프레스로 가압하여 형성하게 되는데, 제품 슬림화 및 메탈돔스위치의 응답성을 고려하여 0.35~0.4mm 정도의 상하 높이를 갖게 되는데, 이때 상기 수치와 같이 메탈돔스위치의 미세한 정도의 높이를 갖는 경우 프레스로 정밀 가공하는 데에 한계가 있고, 특히 원형의 돔 형태일 경우에는 더욱더 가공 정밀성이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다.In addition, the metal dome switch 30 is generally formed by pressing a metal plate with a press, and has a vertical height of about 0.35 to 0.4 mm in consideration of the slimming of the product and the responsiveness of the metal dome switch. As such, when the metal dome switch has a high degree of fineness, there is a limit to precision machining with a press, and in particular, in the case of a circular dome, there is a problem in that machining precision is further reduced.
따라서 본 발명에서는 전술한 바와 같이 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 형상을 횡광종협(橫廣縱峽)으로 하여 원형의 돔 형태보다 횡선(H)으로 확장된 길이를 갖도록 하고, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 외곽접촉부(33) 단부에 경사각이 커진 스커트(36)를 형성하여, 단순 돔 형태인 것에 비해 상기 수치를 충족하는 프레스 정밀 가공이 가능하다. 그리고 상기 스커트(36)는 상기 리턴부(34)와의 경사각을 통해 상기 리턴부(34)의 상부 탄성 회복력을 도와주게 되고, 또 상기 외곽접촉부(33)의 기능을 수행하게 된다.Therefore, in the present invention, as described above, the shape of the metal dome switch 30 has a length that is extended to the horizontal line (H) rather than a circular dome shape by the horizontal light narrow (협), as shown in FIG. As described above, by forming a skirt 36 having a larger inclination angle at the end of the outer contact portion 33, press precision machining that satisfies the above numerical value is possible as compared with a simple dome shape. In addition, the skirt 36 helps the upper elastic recovery force of the return unit 34 through the inclination angle with the return unit 34, and performs the function of the outer contact unit 33.
또 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 상하 높이를 크게 하는 설계 변경이 요구될 때에 상기 스커트(36)가 형성되어 있지 않은 경우, 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 외곽접촉부(33)는 주위로 확장되어야 하기 때문에, 메탈돔스위치(30)의 전체적인 크기가 커지게 되고, 이로 인해 모바일 기기의 크기가 확장되어야 하는 문제점이 있지만, 본 발명은 상기 스커트(36)를 통해 메탈돔스위치(30)의 상하 높이를 만족시킬 수 있게 된다. 또 상기 스커트(36)는 상기 리턴부(34)의 원활한 탄성 회복을 위하여 상기 메탈돔스위치(30)의 종선(V) 좌우 대칭되는 외곽접촉부(33) 단부에 각각 형성되는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, when the skirt 36 is not formed when a design change to increase the vertical height of the metal dome switch 30 is required, the outer contact portion 33 of the metal dome switch 30 should be expanded around. Therefore, the overall size of the metal dome switch 30 is increased, which causes a problem that the size of the mobile device must be expanded, but the present invention is the vertical height of the metal dome switch 30 through the skirt 36 Can be satisfied. In addition, the skirt 36 is preferably formed at each end of the outer contact portion 33 which is symmetrical with the vertical line V of the metal dome switch 30 to smoothly recover the elasticity of the return portion 34.
한편 도 7은 본 발명에 따른 메탈돔스위치에서 상기 통기부의 또 다른 변형예를 나타내는 것으로, 상기 통기부(35)는 상기 본체(31)의 횡(橫)방향 양측부 또는 종(縱)방향 양측부, 또는 이들 모든 방향의 양측부를 오목하게 도려낸 형태의 통기홈(35b)으로 이루어진다. 즉 상기 통기홈(35b)은 상기 횡광종협 형상의 본체(31)의 각 측부를 내측방향으로 오목하게 도려내어진 홈 형태로, 즉 상기 리턴부(34)의 면적을 줄여 상기 리턴부(34)와 외곽접촉부(33)을 연결하는 지지부(34a)를 형성하고, 또 상기 각 지지부(34a) 사이에는 통기홈(35b)이 배열된다. On the other hand Figure 7 shows a further modified example of the vent in the metal dome switch according to the present invention, the vent 35 is the lateral direction of the main body 31, both sides or longitudinal direction It consists of the ventilation groove | channel 35b of the shape which cut out both sides or both sides of all these directions concave. That is, the ventilation groove 35b is a groove shape in which each side portion of the transverse narrow-shaped main body 31 is recessed inwardly inwardly, that is, the return portion 34 is reduced by reducing the area of the return portion 34. And a support part 34a for connecting the outer contact part 33 to each other, and a ventilation groove 35b is arranged between the support parts 34a.
따라서 메탈돔스위치(30) 내의 공기압을 해소는 물론, 상기 리턴부(34)의 면적을 줄여 상기 리턴부(34)에 형성된 지지부(34a)가 상기 키패드(50)의 푸싱 동작 시 메탈돔스위치(30)의 탄성 민감도를 높여줌으로써 상기 키패드(50)를 적은 힘으로 푸싱하는 경우에는 메탈돔스위치(30)가 가압될 수 있어, 키패드(50) 가압 하중을 저감시켜 사용자 편의성을 보장하고, 클릭감 또한 향상시켜 응답성능을 보다 효과적으로 높일 수 있게 된다. 더 나아가 상기 통기홈(35b)은 살빼기 형태로 메탈돔스위치(30)의 중량을 저감시켜 제품의 소형화가 가능하고, 또한 재료를 절감할 수 있어 경제성 또한 제고할 수 있는 부수적이면서도 유리한 효과를 얻을 수 있게 된다.Therefore, as well as relieve the air pressure in the metal dome switch 30, as well as reducing the area of the return portion 34, the support portion 34a formed on the return portion 34 during the pushing operation of the keypad 50 metal dome switch ( When the keypad 50 is pushed with a small force by increasing the elastic sensitivity of 30), the metal dome switch 30 may be pressurized, thereby reducing the pressurization load of the keypad 50 to ensure user convenience and a feeling of click. In addition, it is possible to improve the response performance more effectively by improving. Furthermore, the ventilation groove 35b can reduce the weight of the metal dome switch 30 in the form of weight loss, which can reduce the size of the product, and can also reduce the material, thereby achieving an additional and advantageous effect of improving economics. Will be.
