금속 발광 버튼키 및 금속 발광 버튼키 제조방법Manufacturing method of metal light emitting button key and metal light emitting button key
본 발명은 금속 발광 버튼키 및 금속 발광 버튼키 제조방법으로서, 버튼키의 외부로 문자 또는 부호의 형상을 따라 빛이 투과하는 금속 발광 버튼키 및 금속 발광 버튼키 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a metal light emitting button key and a metal light emitting button key manufacturing method, which relates to a metal light emitting button key and a metal light emitting button key manufacturing method through which the light is transmitted along the shape of the letter or code to the outside of the button key.
버튼키는 일반적으로 휴대단말기나 기타 전자제품 또는 차량 등에 설치되는 전자기기에 사용된다. 이러한 버튼키는 제작방법에 따라 필름 인서트 타입(film insert type)과 몰드 타입(mold type)으로 구분할 수 있다.Button keys are generally used in electronic devices installed in portable terminals or other electronic products or vehicles. Such button keys may be classified into a film insert type and a mold type according to a manufacturing method.
필름 인서트 타입의 버튼키는, 플라스틱의 얇은 필름에 글자부와 백라이팅부를 인쇄한 후 상기 필름을 버튼 형상으로 포밍(forming)하고, 상기 필름을 사출 금형에 삽입하여 투명한 플라스틱과 함께 일체로 제작한다.The film insert type button key is formed by printing the letter portion and the backlighting portion on a thin film of plastic, then forming the film into a button shape, inserting the film into an injection mold, and integrally manufacturing the transparent plastic.
몰드 타입의 버튼키는, 투명한 플라스틱 버튼을 사출 성형하고, 상기 버튼을 도색한 후 글자 표시부분을 레이저 마킹하여 투명하게 만들며, 상기 버튼의 표면을 UV코팅하여 제작한다.The mold-type button key is made by injection molding a transparent plastic button, painting the button and making the letter marking part transparent by laser marking, and UV coating the surface of the button.
그러나 필름 인서트 타입의 버튼키는 장시간 사용시에 필름 부분이 박리되는 형상이 발생하고, 열충격 테스트시에 필름과 플라스틱 사출부가 분리되는 현상이 발생하며, 특히 버튼키의 질감이 고급스럽지 못한 문제점이 있다.However, the film insert type button key may have a shape in which the film part is peeled off during long time use, and a phenomenon in which the film and the plastic injection part are separated during the thermal shock test occurs. In particular, the texture of the button key is not luxurious.
또한, 몰드 타입의 버튼키는 내마모 신뢰성이 떨어지고, 금속의 질감을 표현할 수 없기 때문에 질감의 표현에 한계가 있으며, 금속에 적용 가능한 후가공 기술을 적용할 수 없는 문제점이 있다.In addition, since the button type of the mold type has low wear resistance and cannot express the texture of the metal, there is a limitation in expressing the texture and there is a problem in that the post-processing technology applicable to the metal cannot be applied.
이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 공개특허공보 제10-2005-0047275호에는 금속으로 제작된 버튼키가 개시되어 있다.In order to solve this problem, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0047275 discloses a button key made of metal.

The first back portion 210 is formed on the back of the button body 110, as shown in Figure 5 (b) is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In FIG. 5B, the portion A is a portion where the light emitting groove 111 is to be formed in the light processing groove processing step. Accordingly, the first rear part 210 supports the inner part 110a and the outer part 110b which are separated from each other through the light processing groove processing step so that the shape of the light transmitting groove is maintained. For more details, see Floodlight Grooving Step. The first coupling part 220 protrudes from the first rear part 210 to form a locking groove 221. The first coupling portion 220 is to increase the coupling force with the second transmission portion 300a by forming the engaging groove 221, protrudes outward from the outer side of the first back portion 210 is bent to the rear, and back to the inside It is bent to form a locking groove 221 opened in the inner center direction. It is preferable to form two or more such first coupling parts 220 as shown in FIG. The engaging groove 221 formed as described above is filled with the second transmission part 300a to form a coupling force between the first transmission part 200 and the second transmission part 300a. If the bonding force between the first transmission part 200 and the second transmission part 300a formed by the insert injection method is sufficient in manufacturing the metal light emitting button key of the present invention, the first transmission part 200 is the first coupling part. It may be made of only the first back portion 210 without forming the 220. (See the second embodiment.)
투광홈 가공단계는 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이, 버튼본체(110)에 문자 또는 부호의 형상을 따라 전방으로 빛이 투과하도록 투광홈(111)을 형성한다. 투광홈(111)은 조각기, CNC, 레이저 등을 이용하여 버튼본체(110)에 형성된다. 이때, 투광홈(111)에 의해 버튼본체(110)가 내측부(110a)와 외측부(110b)로 분리될 수 있다. 즉 투광홈(111)이 "0", "ㅁ", "A" 등과 같은 숫자, 문자, 기호, 도형의 형상으로 형성될 때, 투광홈(111)을 기준으로 내측부(110a)와 외측부(110b)로 분리될 수 있다. 이에 따라 외측부(110b)로부터 분리된 내측부(110a)가 이탈하여 문자 또는 부호 등의 형상이 불완전하게 표시되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 버튼본체(110)의 배면에 제1 투과부(200)를 형성하였다. 구체적으로 도 6(a)에 도시된 바와 같이, 투광홈(111)을 형성함에 따라 외측부(110b)로부터 분리된 내측부(110a)는 제1 배면부(210)에 부착된 상태로 고정되고, 제1 배면부(210)는 외측부(110b)에 부착되어 있어서 투광홈(111)의 문자 형상이 완전하게 유지된다.As shown in FIG. 6, the light-transmitting groove processing step forms a light-transmitting groove 111 in the button body 110 so that light passes through the button body 110 in the forward direction. The light transmitting groove 111 is formed in the button body 110 using an engraver, a CNC, a laser, or the like. In this case, the button body 110 may be separated into the inner portion 110a and the outer portion 110b by the light transmitting groove 111. That is, when the light emitting groove 111 is formed in the shape of numbers, letters, symbols, figures, such as "0", "ㅁ", "A", etc., the inner portion 110a and the outer portion 110b based on the light emitting groove 111. ) Can be separated. Accordingly, the first transmission part 200 is formed on the rear surface of the button body 110 to prevent the inner part 110a separated from the outer part 110b from being separated and incompletely displaying the shape of a letter or a sign. In detail, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), as the light transmitting groove 111 is formed, the inner part 110a separated from the outer part 110b is fixed while being attached to the first rear part 210, and the first part is fixed to the first back part 210. The rear portion 210 is attached to the outer portion 110b so that the letter shape of the light transmitting groove 111 is completely maintained.
이러한 투광홈(111)은 도 6(a)에서 별도로 확대하여 나타낸 부분과 같이 후방으로 갈수로 단면이 점점 작아지도록 형성된다. 즉 투광홈(111)은 측면이 1°~5° 기울어진 빗면으로 형성되어 후방으로 갈수록 점점 좁아진다. 이에 따라 투광홈(111)에 제2 투과부(300b)가 충전되어 형성될 때, 투광홈(300b)에 형성된 제2 투과부(300b)는 언더컷 구조로 형성되어 내측부(110a)가 전방으로 돌출되거나 분리되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Such a light transmitting groove 111 is formed such that the cross section is gradually smaller as the rear portion as shown separately enlarged in Figure 6 (a). That is, the light transmitting groove 111 is formed as a slanted inclined side of 1 ° ~ 5 ° gradually becomes narrower toward the rear. Accordingly, when the second transmission part 300b is filled in the light transmission groove 111 and formed, the second transmission part 300b formed in the light transmission groove 300b is formed in an undercut structure so that the inner part 110a protrudes or separates forward. Can be prevented.
제2 투과부 형성단계는 도 7에 도시된 바와 같이, 제1 투과부(200)가 형성되어 있는 버튼본체(110)의 배면 및 투광홈(111)에 광투과성 재질의 제2 투과부(300a,300b)를 형성한다. 제2 투과부(300a,300b)는 인서트 사출방식으로 버튼본체(110)와 일체로 형성된다. 이때, 제2 투과부(300a,300b)는 제1 투과부(200)와 동일한 재질의 합성수지이며, 제1 투과부(200)와 제2 투과부(300a,300b)는 그 경계면에서 융화되면서 견고히 결합하게 된다.As illustrated in FIG. 7, the second transmission part forming step includes second transmission parts 300a and 300b made of a light-transmitting material on the back surface of the button body 110 on which the first transmission part 200 is formed and the light transmitting groove 111. To form. The second transmission parts 300a and 300b are integrally formed with the button body 110 by an insert injection method. At this time, the second transmission portion (300a, 300b) is a synthetic resin of the same material as the first transmission portion 200, the first transmission portion 200 and the second transmission portion (300a, 300b) is firmly coupled while being fused at the interface.
구체적으로 도 7(a)에 도시된 바와 같이, 버튼본체(110)의 배면에 형성되는 제2 투과부(300a)는 제2 배면부(310)와 제2 결합부(320)로 이루어진다. 제2 배면부(310)는 제1 결합부(220)를 덮고, 걸림홈(221)에 충전되어 형성되는 걸림부(321)를 포함한다. 이와 같이 걸림부(321)가 걸림홈(221)에 형성됨으로써, 제1 투과부(200)와 제2 투과부(300a)의 결합력을 더욱 높일 수 있다. 제2 결합부(320)는 제2 배면부(310)로부터 후방으로 돌출 형성되어 버튼본체(110)의 후방으로 돌출되며 전자기기 등에 결합된다. 본 발명의 실시예는 엔진 스타트/스탑 버튼으로 차량에 결합되어 엔진제어시스템과 연결된다. 그리고 제2 결합부(320)는 광투과성 재질로 이루어지고 버튼본체(110)의 후방으로 더 돌출됨으로써, 버튼본체(110)의 측면 둘레를 따라 빛이 투과하게 된다. 이에 따라 버튼키의 둘레를 따라 환형(環形)의 빛이 발산되어 버튼키의 시인성을 높이고 고급스러움과 심미성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고 투광홈(111)에 충전되어 형성되는 제2 투과부(300b)는 전술한 바와 같이 내측부(110a)의 이탈을 방지한다.In detail, as illustrated in FIG. 7A, the second transmission part 300a formed on the rear surface of the button body 110 includes the second rear surface portion 310 and the second coupling portion 320. The second back portion 310 covers the first coupling portion 220 and includes a locking portion 321 formed by being filled in the locking groove 221. As such, since the locking portion 321 is formed in the locking groove 221, the coupling force between the first transmission portion 200 and the second transmission portion 300a may be further increased. The second coupling part 320 protrudes rearward from the second rear part 310 to protrude to the rear of the button body 110 and is coupled to an electronic device. An embodiment of the present invention is coupled to a vehicle by an engine start / stop button and connected to an engine control system. In addition, the second coupling part 320 is made of a light-transmitting material and further protrudes to the rear of the button body 110, so that light is transmitted along the side circumference of the button body 110. Accordingly, an annular light is emitted along the circumference of the button key, thereby improving the visibility of the button key and improving the luxury and aesthetics. As described above, the second transmission part 300b filled and filled in the light transmitting groove 111 prevents separation of the inner part 110a.
