Description

一种导光板光开关及导光板阵列光开关模块 技术领域
本发明涉及薄膜阵列光开关及采用薄膜阵列光开关的键开关,特别涉及装载在作为电子仪器的输入装置的键盘中的薄膜阵列光开关。
背景技术
现有的接触式薄膜阵列开关电路存在的问题:
现有键盘采用的超薄的接触式薄膜阵列开关电路由两张印有银浆电路及银浆触点的电路薄膜及一张隔离薄膜构成,其中,两张电路薄膜的银浆电路、银浆触点采用银浆丝印在薄膜上,形成很薄的银浆电路、银浆触点,在隔离薄膜上有贯穿孔,隔离薄膜位于两张电路薄膜之间并分别与两张电路薄膜粘接在一起,两张电路薄膜由上层电路薄膜及下层电路薄膜构成,上层电路薄膜的银浆触点、下层电路薄膜的银浆触点、隔离薄膜上的贯穿孔位置对应;使用时在外力作用下,上层电路薄膜的银浆触点与下层电路薄膜的银浆触点在隔离薄膜上的贯穿孔内接触,开关导通,去掉外力上层电路薄膜的银浆触点复位,开关断开;现有的接触式薄膜阵列开关电路的银浆触点易氧化、易磨损,使用寿命短。
全世界范围内因接触式薄膜阵列开关电路的问题浪费巨大,迄今还无一种低成本、超薄、经久耐用、非接触式薄膜光开关的投入产业化生产。
采用导光板阵列光开关存在的问题:
1.需要大量的控制器芯片(以下均简称CPU)的I/O口资源---成本大幅上升
现有101键位的键盘共六行,一行最多20个键位,一行最少16个键位,如果不考虑键位冲突,共CPU的I/O口需:输出接口O(输出接口)为20个,输入接口I(输入接口)为6个,为解决部分键位冲突,CPU的I/O口共采用30路(键位冲突:如同时按下几个键时,CPU不能识别被同时按下的几个键位的座标)现有键盘的键位较多,有50键位的小键盘、有83键位的键盘、有101键位的键盘、有120键位的键盘,如果CPU给每个键位分配一个输出接口并与一个LED连接(每个键位的光开关设置一个LED光源),需要大量的CPU输出接口资源,造成PCB板(电路片3-1)的电子电路非常复杂且CPU体积庞大,成本大幅上升;
2. 101个LED功耗太大:
以常用的有101键位的键盘为例,101个LED功率(按每个LED功率0.06W计)为6.06W,有背光源的笔记本键盘采用约12个LED约功率为1W,现有笔记本电脑功率一般为55W--60W,普遍存在发热导致其性能下降的问题,如果仅光电键盘就增加约10%的功率, 是很难推广的;
3.键位冲突:
现有键盘的薄膜阵列开关电路的开关电路均采用矩阵电路技术,为解决键位冲突问题,均采增加CPU的I/O口来解决此问题,如常用组合键Ctrl+A,将Ctrl键的开关、A键的开关分别与CPU的两个输入接口连接;
4.使用导光板的键盘的键发光不均匀,距光源部10-1近端键帽的亮度与距光源部10-1远端键帽的亮度很难调一致;
5.在导光模块中増加光开关,增加101个光源部10-1,光源部10-1的成本圴0.03元/个,而取消采用印刷银浆的薄膜阵列开关电路,薄膜阵列开关电路约7元/个--127元/个(大幅降低键盘成本);
6.薄膜阵列开关电路被安装在金属支板2之上,薄膜阵列开关电路开孔与金属支板2开孔一样多,薄膜阵列开关电路防水工艺复杂且可靠性差。

将第一光区7a及第六光区7f(光源部10-1数量均为19个)剩余的一个光源部10-1与其它每一个光区的一个光源部10-1电气连接,形成2组以三个光源部10-1电气连接的光发器连组。
如图16-图20、CPU有通断接口、有检测接口;导光板分为多个光区,多个光区内的光信号被彼此隔离;
在每一个光区内,多个光发器分别与一组光接器的光路导通或分别与一个光接器的光路导通;光发器与通断接口连接,光接器与检测接口连接;
使用时,CPU不断检测多个检测接口的信号;当某个光区的光开关被按下时,CPU通过检测检测接口,从而判断某个光区的某光开关被按下。
导光板分为多个光区,多个光区内的光信号被彼此隔离;在每一个光区内,多个光发器分别与一组光接器的光路导通或分别与一个光接器的光路导通;光发器与CPU输出口连接,光接器与CPU输入口连接,每一个光区内的光发器发出均能被CPU识别的光信号;

导光板由开关导光板(7)构成;光发器与CPU输出口连接采用:由其中一个光区内的一个光发器与另一个光区内的一个光发器连接形成光发器连组,.....重复上述连接过程,从而形成多个光发器连组,多个光发器连组与多个CPU输出口连接,从而确保:每时每刻或CPU检测CPU输入口时,每个光区内的多个光发器最多只有一个光发器发出光信号。
将开关导光板7分为至少两个光区,两个光区分别为第一光区7a、第二光区7b,将第一光区7a内的光信号与第二光区7b内的光信号隔离;将第一光区7a内的多个光发器的光发射窗口与多个光开关、第一光接器的光路导通,将第二光区7b内的多个光发器的光发射窗口与多个光开关、第二光接器的光路导通;将第一光区7a的一个光发器与第二光区7b的一个光发器连接,形成连接光发器组,将第一连接光发器组、第二连接光发器组、第三连接光发器组、.....第n连接光发器组分别与第一CPU输出口、第二CPU输出口、第三CPU输出口、.....第nCPU输出口对应连接;将第一光接器、第二光接器分别与CPU的第一CPU输入口连接、CPU的第二CPU输入口连接;使用时,CPU不断检测第一CPU输入口的信号、第二CPU输入口的信号;当第一光区7a的光开关被按下时,CPU通过检测第一CPU输入口发现第一光区7a光信号的变化,CPU拫据光信号的变化而判断第一光区7a的某光开关被按下;当第二光区7b的光开关被按下时,CPU通过检测第二CPU输入口发现第二光区7b光信号的变化,CPU拫据光信号的变化而判断第二光区7b的某光开关被按下。

阵列光开关模块工作时,CPU连通一个CPU输出口,与该CPU输出口连接的光发器 连组在每个光区最多只有一个光发器发射光信号,各光区的一组光接器接收到光信号或一个光接器接收到光信号,与该光发器连组连接的各CPU输入口有信号输入,CPU判断各光分区是否有光开关被触发,CPU关闭该CPU输出口;
CPU再连通另一个CPU输出口,与该CPU输出口连接的光发器连组在每个光区最多只有一个光发器发射光信号,各光区的一组光接器接收到光信号或一个光接器接收到光信号,与该光发器连组连接的各CPU输入口有信号输入,CPU判断各光分区是否有光开关被触发,CPU关闭该CPU输出口;

CPU的各CPU输出口均发射不同的特征信号,光发器连组所连接的光发器在同一光区的均发射不同的特征信号。
如图19-图20、阻断开关片9上的开关阻断体9-1纵横排列;FPC电路片10上的光源部10-1纵横排列;关阻断体9-1上设置的阻中体9-8位于光源部10-1的LED贯孔10-4内。
参见图21、因A4纸太小,电路图中仅画岀59个开关,CPU共需10个I/O口(CPU需10个输入接口B,6个输入接口C,开关导光板7分隔为6个光区,每个光区需1个光敏管G);本实施例以101个光开关的导光板阵列光开关模块的电路为例,101个光开关使用的CPU共需20个输出接口,输出接口分别为B1、B2....B20(其中B11、B12....B20及与之电气连接的电路在图中未表示),六个光敏管G的输入接口分别与C1、C2....C6连接;

由于导光板阵列光开关模块上设置的光开关的数量不同,开关导光板7上设置的光区数量也不同,有可能出现一组光发器连组仅有一个光源部10-1的情况;

将导光板分为多个光区,并将每个光区的一个光源部10-1电气连接的最大优点是:
1、大幅降低了阵列光开关的功率:本发明扫描检测各光开关的功率由每个光发器连组的功率决定,CPU检测时(以导光板分为6个光区为例),本发明一组光发器连组最多有6个光源部10-1(按每个LED功率0.06W,共计0.36W)被点亮,与同时点亮101个光源部10-1的功率(6.06W)比较,功率大幅降低了6/101倍;现有笔记本电脑功率一般为55W--60W,普遍存在发热导致其性能下降的问题,如果仅光电键盘就增加约10%的功率,是很难推广的;
2、大幅减少了CPU的I/O口的数量、大幅减化了电子电路
101键位的键盘共有101个光开关---有101个光源部10-1及101个光敏管(电路复杂,造成需多层PCB电路板才能完成电路布线);本发明采用将导光板分为6个光区,并采用光发器连接组方案,本实施例101个光开关仅需20个CPU输出接口及6个CPU输入接口(参见图21、CPU的I/O口共需26个);
CPU增加了2个CPU特征输出接口,本实施例101个光开关仅需10个CPU输出接口及6个CPU输入接口(参见图21、CPU的I/O口共需18个)。
3.所有键位均无键位冲突:
CPU的各输出接口均发出不同的特征信号;同一光区内有两个以上的键同吋按下时,CPU将不能区别同一光区内有两个以上的键同吋按下(现有键盘的薄膜阵列开关电路技术,采增加CPU输入接口来解决此问题,如常用Ctrl+A,将Ctrl单独与CPU一个输入接口连接),参见图21、CPU的各输出接口B均发出不同的特征信号(类似电视遥控器,每个键按下,电视遥控器均发出不同的特征信号),CPU的20个输出接口(101个光开关方案)向20组光源部10-1连接组发出不同的特征信号,CPU拫据接收不同的特征信号区别同一光区内的键位,本发明可做到全键盘无键位冲突,任意同时按下任何n个键,CPU均能识别,特别适合玩游戏人群使用。
采用光开关的最大优点是:
1.大幅降低了阵列开关的成本
在导光模块中増加光开关,增加101个光源部10-1,光源部10-1的成本圴0.03元/个,而取消采用印刷银浆的薄膜阵列开关电路,薄膜阵列开关电路约8元/个至12元/个。
2.大幅提高了开关的使用寿命
现有的薄膜阵列开关电路被安装在金属支板2之上,薄膜阵列开关电路开孔与金属支板2开孔一样多,薄膜阵列开关电路防水工艺复杂且可靠性差,本发明的导光模块被安装在金属支板2之下,工艺开孔较少,防水工艺简单,防水性能突出。

如图27---图28、阵列光开关模组3设置有排气槽,排气槽由设置在阻断开关片9上的阻断排气槽、设置在开关导光板7上的开关板排气槽构成;其中阻断排气槽由阻横排气槽9-9、阻竖排气槽9-10构成,其中,横向排列的每一行阻横排气槽9-9与每一行的所有阻断开关片9的阻下贯孔9-5连通,阻竖排气槽9-10与阻断开关片9的阻下贯孔9-5连通;
