背景技术
在装配于笔记本电脑型或掌上型计算机等便携式电子装置中的薄型,即低高度型键盘中,要求进行击打操作的键开关装置的低高度化,并且提高其操作性即手感好-----。
参见图1、图2现有笔记本型或掌上型计算机等便携式电子装置中普遍采用薄型塑料X支撑结构装置,现有键盘的键结构装置包括键帽1、复位元件为有弹性的橡胶弹圈(复位元件还可以是弹簧、磁性元件等)、有能产生通断的开关的开关回路12、有配合部的支撑板15、有上下配合部的剪刀脚16,剪刀脚16通过上下配合部分别与键帽1、支撑板15的配合部转动或滑动连接,从侧面看呈X状安装的剪刀脚16通过中部附近相互之间力的传递构成同步联动支撑结构,以确保键帽1平行于支撑板15升降运动。
其中支撑板15的配合部由支板转动部13及支板滑动部14构成,剪刀脚16(均由塑料生产)由右剪刀脚4及外剪刀脚8构成,剪刀脚16的上下配合部分别由下铰轴9、下滑轴7及剪刀上转动部10、剪刀上滑动部6构成,同步联动支撑结构由右剪刀脚4上的中枢轴5与塑料外剪刀脚8上的外框中枢孔5c铰接构成。
此装置通过塑料制成的右剪刀脚4上的中枢轴5与塑料制成的外剪刀脚8上的中枢孔铰接,下铰轴9及下滑轴7分别与支撑板15上的支板转动部13及支板滑动部14呈转动配合、滑动配合。剪刀上转动部10及剪刀上滑动部6分别与键帽1上的键帽滑动部3及键帽转动部2呈滑动配合、转动配合。形成塑料X支撑结构装置,并通过呈圆拱状动作部件--橡胶弹圈11将键帽1向上顶起,外剪刀脚8及右剪刀脚4的联动部由分别位于剪刀脚臂中部附近的 中枢轴5与中枢孔5c转动配合构成;外剪刀脚8、右剪刀脚4分别与键帽1及支撑板15连接的连接部由分别分布在剪刀脚臂上端或下端的剪刀上转动部10、下滑轴7及剪刀上滑动部6、下铰轴9构成。
从键盘诞生以来,虽笔记本键盘的成本远高于台式机键盘,但笔记本键盘以超薄、手感好获得长期应用至今,现有笔记本键盘有进一步追求低高度的趋势。怎样在高效率生产、降低成本的同时,提高剪刀脚的精度达到提高键盘性能,是笔记本电脑键盘急需解决的问题。
现有的钣金剪刀脚存在的问题:
问题1:参见图3、图4、金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31均有与剪刀脚臂23的长度方向垂直的宽度折弯边24,金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31的剪刀下平面17、剪刀上平面19均通过宽度折弯边连接,剪刀下平面17均位于金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31下方,剪刀上平面19均位于金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31上方。
参见图3、金属内剪刀脚28的左右两侧均有自剪刀下平面17向部向上延伸的内剪延伸板面25,内剪延伸板面25位于剪刀脚臂23旁,在内剪延伸板面25的悬臂端的角部有角部支撑配合部18。
参见图4、金属外剪刀脚31的内侧均有自剪刀下平面17向部向上延伸的内剪延伸板面25,内剪延伸板面25位于剪刀脚臂23旁,在内剪延伸板面25的悬臂端的角部有角部支撑配合部18。
参见图5、金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31分别与键帽1(图中未表示)、支承板15转动或滑动连接;属内剪刀脚28的角部支撑配合部18、剪刀脚臂23的下板面分别与金属外剪刀脚31的剪刀脚臂23的下板面、角部支撑配合部18相互支撑形成相互之间力的传递构成同步联动支撑结构,以确保键帽平行于支撑板作升降运动。
金属内剪刀脚28、金属外剪刀脚31均采用与剪刀脚臂23的长度方向垂直的宽度折弯边24
1、金属剪刀脚结构不紧凑、刚性不好,采用0.3mm厚以上的铝合金或采用0.2mm钢板均能满足使用要求,金属剪刀脚(0.3mm厚的铝合金剪刀脚重量为0.098g)重量超过现有的塑料剪刀脚(重量约为0.06g)的重量约60%。
2、采用较厚的金属板料生产剪刀脚不利于键盘进一步减薄;
3、金属剪刀脚太厚,钣金冲压成型工艺性差且材料成本较高;
4、该金属剪刀脚结构刚度最差的区域为宽度折弯边24附近,为提高金属剪刀脚结构刚度,金属剪刀脚心两剪刀脚臂的宽度均设计为1.9mm,致金属剪刀脚的长宽尺寸无法缩小。
问题2:从键盘诞生以来,笔记本键盘的键帽1上均设置塑料弹性限位结构,参见图2--1至图2--5、在键帽1安装时,先将键帽滑动部3安装在剪刀上滑动部6上,再向下旋转键帽,在压入过程中,键帽转动部2的两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构约需产生单边0.15mm的变形---约产生6度的转动,两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构的宽度B1约为0.7mm,长度H1约为1.6mm,B1/H1=0.4375,由于塑料是塑性材料,短粗的塑料弹性限位结构弹性差、强度低、限位的过盈量小,加之笔记本键盘越做越薄,键帽转动部2的两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构(H1尺寸)限制了键帽1低高度的设计,同时,由于注塑缺陷的影响,键帽转动部2的两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构的模具需斜拔结构等.造成键帽转动部2的两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构出厂不良率较高。
1、笔记本键盘的键帽1在出厂后,脫落问题非常突出,笔记本键盘的掉键及开关触点失效问题是目前笔记本键盘最突出的两大急待解问题。
2、笔记本键盘的键帽1的塑料弹性限位结构有注塑缺陷的影响。
3、笔记本键盘的键帽1的短粗的塑料弹性限位结构的配合过盈量为单边0.15mm,当该配合过盈量过小时,易出现掉键现象;当该配合过盈量过大时,易出现键帽转动部2的两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构断裂失效及埋下断裂失效的隐患。
4、两片短粗的塑料弹性限位结构弹性差、强度低。
5、注塑精度低于薄板的冲压精度,精密注塑--小尺寸的结构注塑件公差0.08mm,线性尺寸冲压---薄板的冲压精度0.026mm,薄板的冲压折弯精度0.5度。
6、减薄键帽,势必缩短--短粗的塑料弹性限位结构,短粗的塑料弹性限位结构缩短,造成短粗的塑料弹性限位结构弹力下限,限制了键帽的进一步低高度化设计。
问题3:参见图3-1、键帽1的键竖立限位挡3a、键倒扣配合面3c为一个整体,键配合平面3b为键帽内凹底面的一部分,键倒扣配合面3c与键配合平面3b位置相对应。
参见图3-1至图3-4、现有的采用钣金成型的金属剪刀脚16采用0.25mm-0.7mm厚的板面上成型,金属剪刀脚16的上配合部、下配合部由分别位于剪刀脚臂上端、下端的上冲裁凸台17d、下冲裁凸台17a构成,上冲裁凸台17d、下冲裁凸台17a经冲裁钣金成型为截面呈方形的凸台,上冲裁凸台17d、下冲裁凸台17a可冲压倒角去毛剌(倒角可倒成直面,也可以是圆弧面,也可以是倒圆弧面),金属剪刀脚16由内金属剪刀脚4及外金属剪刀脚8组成。
在金属剪刀脚16的两个剪刀脚臂的内侧、外侧,有两个从金属剪刀脚16的板面并沿剪刀脚臂长度方向同向延伸的延伸板面17C,延伸板面17C并沿剪刀脚臂厚度方向向下折弯, 延伸板面17C的悬臂端部有冲压成型的冲压悬臂弧18,冲压悬臂弧18位于剪刀脚臂下板面附近并位于剪刀脚臂长度方向的中部附近,剪刀上支撑面17b位于剪刀脚臂下板面的中部附近,是呈平直板面的剪刀脚臂下板面的一部分。
金属剪刀脚16的键结构装置包括键帽1(图中未表示)、弹性体11(图中未表示)、有开关触点的开关回路12、有配合部的支撑板15、有上下配合部的金属剪刀脚16,金属剪刀脚16的上冲裁凸台17d的角部、下冲裁凸台17a的角部分别与键帽1的配合部、支撑板15的配合部转动或滑动连接,其中一个金属剪刀脚16的剪刀上支撑面17b、冲压悬臂弧18与另一个金属剪刀脚16的冲压悬臂弧18、剪刀上支撑面17b相互支撑,形成中部附近相互之间力的传递构成同步联动支撑结构,以确保键帽1平行于支撑板15升降运动。
当键帽1被按下时,键帽1克服弹性体11(图中未表示)的弹力推动内金属剪刀脚4及外金属剪刀脚8的上配合部沿键帽1的移动、内金属剪刀脚4及外金属剪刀脚8的下配合部沿支撑板15的配合部转动或移动,同时冲压悬臂弧18沿剪刀上支撑面17b滑动;键帽1向下移动至键帽1的底面与有开关触点的开关回路12接触即达下极限位,至下极限位时弹性体11内的凸台(图中未表示)触发有开关触点的开关回路12上的开关电路(图中未表示),当键帽1的外力去掉后,在弹性体11(图中未表示)的弹力作用下,键帽1复位至上极限位。
与钣金剪刀脚16相比较,现普遍采用的塑料剪刀脚16存在强度差、刚度差、精度差,且注塑生产存在注塑缺陷,不能实现键盘进一步低高度化,剪刀脚16结构复杂很难实现自动化安装等,同时,剪刀脚16采用注塑生产效率远低于采用步进模的生产效率,步进模也称高速模具,其具有高效率、高寿命、高精度,被称为现代三高模具,钣金剪刀脚16替代现普遍采用的塑料剪刀脚16是大势所趋。钣金剪刀脚16虽然具有强度高、刚度高、生产效率高、生产设备成本低等优点。但现有的钣金剪刀脚16讲存在以下问题:
1.剪刀脚16的配合部、下配合部均由冲裁钣金成型截面呈方形的凸台,由截面呈方形的凸台的角部分别与键帽、支承板的配合部配合,键帽1的配合部剪刀脚16的凸台的角部会加速与键帽、支承板磨损,造成剪刀脚16、键帽、支承板精度丧失快。
2.将截面呈方形的凸台的角部采用倒角工艺----可倒成直面、圆弧面、倒圆弧面,钣金的倒角工艺难度较大(特别是采用较薄的金属板时),且存在倒角精度差、表面光洁度差。
3.当剪刀脚16采用非常薄的金属板时,如采用0.1mm---0.2mm的金属板,将截面呈方形的凸台的角部倒角是不可能实现的任务,截面呈方形的凸台的厚度薄到一定程度就成了刀片。
4.当剪刀脚16采用较薄的金属板时(如采用0.08mm---0.15mm的金属板),剪刀上滑 动部6在键倒扣配合面3c与键配合平面3b之间的空间无法注塑生产(参见图1--图5键倒扣配合面3c与键配合平面3b位置相对应),该空间的高度尺寸为0.08mm---0.15mm时,注塑模具采用0.08mm---0.15mm的合金薄片抽芯,该薄片既无法加工又无强度。
5.剪刀脚16的配合部无法倒太大的圆角,而无法采用现在流行的键帽安装方法,无法采用现在流行的剪刀脚16的安装方法。
6.现有的钣金剪刀脚16采用0.4mm以上的板厚,材料成本高,影响了实现键盘进一步低高度化(两个现有的钣金剪刀脚16叠在一起达0.8mm厚)。
怎样提高剪刀脚16、键帽、支承板耐磨性能;怎样采用较薄的金属板生产剪刀脚16以降低材料成本,同时实现键盘进一步低高度化,是现有的钣金剪刀脚16能否替代现普遍采用的塑料剪刀脚16问题所在。

采用长度折弯边36的剪刀脚:
剪刀脚臂的强度、刚度大幅提高,使采用更薄的金属材料生产剪刀脚成为现实,如采用厚 度0.15mm铝合金剪刀脚即可满足使用要求。
1、采用厚度0.15mm铝合金剪刀脚,剪刀脚重量降低为0.049g,与现有的塑料剪刀脚(重量约为0.06g)比较,剪刀脚重量降低约18%。比采用宽度折弯边24的剪刀脚重量降低约78%。
2、剪刀脚厚度减薄,进一步实现了键盘的低高度化。
3、剪刀脚厚度减薄,成型剪刀脚工艺性更好(如折弯半径更小、折弯回弹更小等)且降低生产剪刀脚的材料成本。
4、剪刀脚的结构更紧凑,剪刀脚的长宽尺寸进一步缩小,可生产键帽尺寸为14.8*14.8的键盘。

5.采用厚度超薄的剪刀脚16,成倍降低剪刀脚16的厚度,进一步实现键低高度化。
6.键帽的配合部采用键倒扣配合面3c与键配合平面3b沿键的宽度方向排列,即键倒扣配合面3c位于键配合平面3b旁,彻底解决了采用厚度超薄的剪刀脚16时,键帽的配合部因键倒扣配合面3c与键配合平面3b之间的间距太小而无法注塑生产的难题。
7.取消了与键倒扣配合面3c连为一体的键竖立限位挡3a,而将键限位结构独立设置,键帽的键倒扣配合面3c开口向内,并在键倒扣配合面3c设置前斜面为实觋键帽于上极限位的全新安装创造了条件。(现有采用塑料剪刀脚16的键开关装置,塑料剪刀脚16位于下极限位时,键帽实现安装)
该面面配合的剪刀脚16的键开关装置可广泛应用于计算机键盘、掌上型电脑、各类嵌入式键盘及进行敲键操作的键开关装置。本发明成倍降低剪刀脚16的材料成本,简化了剪刀脚16的冲压工艺,大幅提高了各零件的配合精度、提高了各零件间的耐磨性。

[0035]实施例2
参见图17a--图26、金属剪刀脚在金属板面上冲压成型;金属剪刀脚成型有有弹性的钣金弹性板面20;金属剪刀脚有冲压成型的剪刀防脱结构;在键帽1上设置有键限位凸台48;相互支撑的金属剪刀脚通过剪刀防脱结构与键帽1的键限位凸台48限位配合,阻止键脱出或将键帽1限制在上极限位。
金属剪刀脚16的上配合部由剪刀上端下板面及剪刀上端上板面、独立设置的剪刀防脱结构构成,剪刀上端下板面与键帽1的上的键倒扣凸台上的键倒扣弧面46配合。
参见图17a、在键帽1的左边的两个配合部之间及右边的两个配合部之间的键内凹底面49的中部附近分别设置有刚性的键限位凸台48,键限位凸台48由键端限位配合部50、键卧安装导向面51构成,由键卧安装导向面51构成键卧安装导向部,键卧安装导向部可以是平面、弧面、角部等。
在键帽1的左边的两个配合部(两个配合部垂直于纸面方向排列之间及右边的两个配合部之间的键内凹底面49的底面上分别设置有键内凹凸台47,键帽1的配合部由键内凹凸台47上的键凸台凸肩45、键倒扣弧面46构成,键帽1的配合部的配合空间的开口均指向键帽1的中部。
参见图17--图26、键帽安装时,钣金弹性板面20的悬臂与键卧安装导向部相互作用, 钣金弹性板面20产生弹性变形,钣金限位挡21越过键限位凸台48,在复位元件的复位力作用下,钣金限位挡21被压在键帽1的键限位凸台48的键端限位配合部50上,此时键帽1被限制在上极限位。
参见图17--图19、键帽安装时,将键帽的配合部的入口对准金属剪刀脚16的上配合部,金属剪刀脚16的支撑起来的安装高度H,应确保L10〉L11,向下移动键帽,金属剪刀脚16的上端部由内向外沿键内凹凸台47表面向键帽1的滑动配合部3的开口处移动。金属剪刀脚16的上端部沿键帽1的键内凹底面49或键帽1的键内凹凸台47,均由内向外滑动进入键帽1的配合部。
当金属剪刀脚16的上配合部(本实施例为金属剪刀脚16的上板面、金属剪刀脚16的下板面)进入键倒扣弧面46与键凸台凸肩45的开口空间后,钣金弹性板面20的悬臂端的钣金限位挡21的上端部逐步开始与键限位凸台48的键卧安装导向面51(键卧安装导向部)接触。
参见图20--图22、继续向下移动键帽,金属剪刀脚16的上端部继续由内向外滑动,金属剪刀脚16的的钣金限位挡21的上端部沿键卧安装导向面51移动,金属剪刀脚16的下板面沿键倒扣弧面46移动(本实施例,键帽1的滑动配合部3由键凸台凸肩45、键倒扣弧面46构成),在键帽1的滑动配合部3、键卧安装导向面51作用下,使钣金弹性板面20产生弹性变形。
参见图23--图26、由钣金限位挡21构成的剪刀防脱结构越过键限位凸台48进入键帽1的限位配合空间,键帽1的限位配合空间位于键端限位配合部50外侧,在复位元件(图中未表示)的复位力作用下,钣金限位挡21被压在键限位凸台48上的键端限位配合部50上,此时键帽1处于上极限位,相互支撑的金属剪刀脚16通过钣金限位挡21与键帽1的键端限位配合部50限位配合,将键帽1限制在上极限位。
参见图26、钣金限位挡21与键端限位配合部50限位过盈量最大可达0.5mm。
将金属剪刀脚16与键帽的配合面与剪刀防脱结构分开设置(即将剪刀防脱结构独立设置),使金属剪刀脚16与键帽的配合面的板面呈简单的平面状,该呈平面状的板面无需加工,提高了配合精度及加工精度(钣金的冲压次数越多加工精度越差即钣金塑性变形所次数越多加工精度越差);采用剪刀脚16的上下光滑平直板面分别实现与键帽、支承板的面面配合,大幅提高了配合精度,提高了各零件间的耐磨性,键开关装置经久耐用。
金属剪刀脚16的上配合部由平直板面及独立设置的剪刀防脱结构构成,简化了金属剪刀脚16的冲压工艺、提高了金属剪刀脚16的加工精度。
本发明提供一种取消了塑料键帽1上的塑料弹性限位结构,使塑料键帽1成为全刚性结构,并将弹性限位结构设置在薄片金属剪刀脚上,彻底解决了现有笔记本键盘掉键的老大难问题,使键开关装置的键帽的成品率高、经久耐用,并使键开关装置的薄片金属剪刀脚的弹性限位结构弹性好、强度高、经久耐用。
1、键帽成为免维护的全刚性结构,大幅降低了键帽出厂不良率,并彻底解决了现有笔记本键盘使用时掉键的老大难问题。
2、薄片金属剪刀脚的弹性限位结构弹性好、强度高、可增加限位的过盈量(最大可达0.5mm),使键帽与薄片金属剪刀脚的限位配合可靠性高。
3、薄片金属剪刀脚的弹性限位结构无注塑缺陷、薄片金属剪刀脚的弹性限位结构不会出现断裂失效.变形失效的隐患。
4、可进一步实现键帽的低高度化设计。剪刀脚16结构强度及结构刚度大幅提高,金属剪刀脚实现了超轻、超薄并进一步实现键装置的小型化。
其余与实施例1同。

安装时(图中未表示),两个钣金限位挡21的內侧端面与键帽1的键限位凸台48左右竖立侧面(图中未表示,键限位凸台48左右两竖立侧面呈前窄后宽的梯形,键限位凸台48的呈梯形的左右两竖立侧面构成键竖立安装导向部)接触,下压键帽1时,键限位凸台48左右竖立侧面使两个钣金限位挡21产生弹变,钣金限位挡21越过键限位凸台48(图中未表示),在复位元件(图中未表示)的复位力作用下,钣金限位挡21被压在键帽1的键限位凸台48的键端限位配合部50(图中未表示)上,此时键帽1被限制在上极限位。
[0098]如图29---图34、安装时,钣金弹性板面20的端部与键竖立安装导向部相互作用,钣金弹性板面20产生弹性变形,钣金限位挡21越过键限位凸台48(图中未表示),在复位元件(图中未表示)的复位力作用下,钣金限位挡21被压在键帽1的键限位凸台48的键端限位配合部50(图中未表示)上,此时键帽1被限制在上极限位。
其余与实施例2同。

键帽防脱结构由键限位凸台48构成,键限位凸台48内侧有限位凸台导向钭面51,键 限位凸台48外侧设置有键限位凸台端部50。
键配合部凸台47从键帽内凹底面的底面上向上凸起形成方形凸台,在分别位于左侧、右侧的键配合部凸台47的凸台外侧的角部(角部可不倒角,也可倒角,但以倒圆弧最佳)形成键凸台凸肩45。键帽1的键配合部凸台47位于两个键倒扣凸台53之间,键配合部凸台47的外侧有键凸台凸肩45;键帽1的配合部由键倒扣弧面46、键凸台凸肩45、键限位凸台48构成,键倒扣凸台53的倒扣表面有倒扣配合部、倾钭的倒扣前斜面54,键限位凸台48高于键配合部凸台47,倒扣配合部由键倒扣弧面46构成。

金属剪刀脚16通过金属剪刀脚16的剪刀上端上板面56与金属剪刀脚16的剪刀上端下板面57之间的厚度尺寸与键帽的配合部转动或滑动连接。
键帽1的配合部由键倒扣弧面46、键凸台凸肩45、键防脱结构构成,剪刀上端上板面56、剪刀上端下板面57均成平面状,剪刀上端上板面56、剪刀上端下板面57分别与键凸台凸肩45、键倒扣弧面46滑动配合。

采用剪刀脚16的上下光滑板面(如剪刀上端上板面56、剪刀上端下板面57均成平面状,该两板面无需加工)分别实现与键帽、支承板的面面配合,大幅提高了配合精度。提高了各零件间的耐磨性,键开关装置经久耐用。
剪刀脚16实现与键帽、支承板的面面配合,使采用厚度超薄的剪刀脚16成为现实,成倍降低剪刀脚16的材料成本,铝合金剪刀脚16的厚度由现在的0.4mm减薄为0.15mm;钢质剪刀脚16的厚度由现在的0.4mm减薄为0.08mm。
