参见图9、键帽1图中未表示)位于上极限位时,键帽1位于a点,在外力作用下,键帽1向下位移,键帽1由a点至b点,橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力增加至最大,键帽1继续向下位移,键帽1由b点至c点,橡胶弹圈3的弹力与位移量的成反比;
键帽1至c点时,弹圈触点3-7刚与薄膜开关(图中未表示)接触,橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力由最大突变为最小,产生所谓崩塌手感,此段的弹力由弹圈弹性壁3-9产生形变提供;
键帽1向下位移,弹圈触点3-7开始触压薄膜开关图中未表示)而产生变形,键帽1至d点时,键帽1位于下极限位,键帽1挤压弹圈上凸台3-2弹圈上凸台3-2、弹圈触点3-7、弹圈弹性壁3-9产生严重挤压变形并产生较大的复位弹力,使键帽1的回弹率>40%;橡胶弹圈3产生严重挤压变形,大幅降低了橡胶弹圈3的使用寿命。
参见图8、图10、环弹性支板6的弹力与位移的关系图与橡胶弹圈3的类似,也有类似的崩塌手感,只是无回弹率>40%要求,环弹性支板6被压至最低位时产生严重变形,大幅降低了环弹性支板6的使用寿命。
现有光开关键盘存在的问题
1.键盘的薄型化是笔记本键盘的重要发展方向:
现有技术未能提出使键盘薄型化的技术方案;现有技术采用橡胶弹圈、开关阻断体的组合技术方案时,未能提出实现键盘的薄型化的技术方案;
2.使用寿命是笔记本键盘的重要技术指标:
①.现有技术的复位体采用现有键盘普遍采用的橡胶弹圈3的典型结构,现有的橡胶弹圈使用过程变形大(在键盘处于低位时,通过使橡胶弹圈产生挤压变形获取回弹率),大幅降低了橡胶弹圈的使用寿命;
②.在实现键盘的薄型化前提下,开关阻断体5为金属弹片,在金属弹片上设置透光部(透光通孔)、阻光部后,使金属弹片的尺寸大于橡胶弹圈的尺寸,增加了密封光开关的难度;现有技术未能提出对光开关采用密封措施的具体技术方案;光开关不密封将大幅降低了光开关的使用寿命;键盘使用过程中,如茶水不小心进入光开关,严重影响光开关键盘的寿命,长时间使用时,尘埃的进入并不断积累也严重影响光开关键盘的寿命。
③.现有技术采用橡胶弹圈、开关阻断体的组合技术方案时,为实现键盘的薄型化,开关阻断体5为金属弹片时,现有技术未能提出金属弹片的透光技术方案,
3.为实现键盘的薄型化,开关阻断体5采用金属弹片,并键盘采用橡胶弹圈、金属弹片组合技术方案时,现有技术未能提出金属弹片的阻光部、透光部的具体技术方案;

如图12、图16、笔记本键盘还设置有防水膜13,橡胶弹圈3与防水膜13的上表面连接,防水膜13与金属支板4的上表面连接,导光板模组11与金属支板4的下表面连接,环弹性支板6与导光板模组11的上表面连接。
防水膜13上设置有防膜贯孔13-1及防膜臂空间13-2;键帽1处于上极限位时,环弹性支板6的环连上板6-3穿过防膜贯孔13-1并位于防水膜13上方,环弹性臂板6-4位于防膜臂空间13-2内。
如图18、以101键位的键盘为例,导光板模组11设置有101个阻断贯穿孔7-1,阻断贯穿孔7-1围成的空间为阻断动作空间7-2,通过在导光板模组11设置模组排气槽11-1,将导光板模组11上的101个阻断动作空间7-2连通;导光板模组11由导光板7、PCB板8、Led光源9、光敏元件10构成,其中,反射膜、下反射膜、PCB板8、光敏元件10图中未表面,在导光板7的上下板面分别设置有上反射膜、下反射膜,PCB板8采用薄型的PCB板,模组排气槽11-1位于导光板7与PCB板之间,模组排气槽11-1位于下反射膜上或模组排气槽11-1位于反射膜与PCB板之间设置的薄膜上(图中未表面),PCB板8位于最底层,阻断贯穿孔7-1贯穿上反射膜、下反射膜。
如图19、橡胶弹圈3将键帽1顶起,并键帽1被限制在上极限位;应确保:橡胶弹圈3与防膜贯孔13-1位置对应;橡胶弹圈3的弹圈触发凸台3-4与防膜贯孔13-1、环连上板6-3位置对准。
如图19--图24、橡胶弹圈3将键帽1顶起至上极限位;以101个键位的笔记本键盘为例,键盘的键帽1行程为1.5mm,环弹性支板6的行程为0.25mm,总高度为0.4mm;键帽1向下位移时,键帽1在第一行程内的向上的复位力由橡胶弹圈3提供,键帽1在第二行程内的向上的复位力主要由环弹性支板6提供;键帽1的第一行程为:键帽1上极限位至橡胶弹圈3的弹圈触发凸台3-4的下表面与环连上板6-3接触时的行程,本实施例的第一行程约为1.25mm,第二行程约为0.25mm。
使用时,在外力作用下,键帽1向下位移时,键帽1在第一行程内的向上的复位力由橡胶弹圈3提供,第一行程约1.25mm,键帽1向下位移约1.25mm时,橡胶弹圈3的弹圈触发凸台3-4的下表面与环连上板6-3接触,此时,橡胶弹圈3的复位力变为最小;继续向下位移,在第二行程内,环连上板6-3被推动向下位移,环弹性臂板6-4产生弹性变形;环弹性臂板6-4被压至最低位时,环连上板6-3被紧压在支板抵触面4-3,键帽1位于下极限位,阻光部使光发器发射的光信号与光接器的光路断开;外力去除时,主要由环弹性支板6的环弹性臂板6-4提供向上的弹力,使键帽1向上复位;
应确保:键帽1位于下极限位时,环连上板6-3被弹圈触发凸台3-4的下表面可靠压在支板抵触面4-3的上板面;应确保:键帽1位于下极限位时,支板抵触面4-3将环连上板6-3的下板面,限制在高于环下连接部6-5的下板面的位置。
键帽1向下位移时,橡胶弹圈3的内空间被压缩,由于各光开关的空间被密封,键帽1下的阻力非常大,为解决此问题,首先在橡胶弹圈3的弹圈上凸台3-2设置弹圈上排气槽 3-1、弹圈气囊薄壁3-3,并采用:通过在导光板模组11设置排气槽,将导光板模组11上的101个阻断贯穿孔7-1连通;当其中的一个或几个键帽1向下位移时,一个或几个橡胶弹圈3的内空间被压缩,其它90个至100个橡胶弹圈3的弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形并通过排气槽3-1将空气排出。
由于笔记本键盘采用0.1mm厚FPC排线与主板连接;光开关的空间被密封后,无法采用现有技术通过usb线缆排气,本发眀采用薄壁的0.15mm-0.2mm厚弹圈气囊薄壁3-3,并将101个密封空间连通,当当其中的一个或几个键帽1向下位移时,其它90个至100个橡胶弹圈3的弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形并通过排气槽3-1将空气排出,同时,外力去除时,弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形提供了复位弹力。
如图20-图24、键帽1由上极限位位移至下极限位,经仿真测算:橡胶弹圈3的内空间的体积为15.90立方毫米;压下的内空间的体积为3.13立方毫米;键帽1压下时,一个橡胶弹圈3的排气12.77立方毫米;弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形0.32mm,弹圈气囊薄壁3-3体积彭胀=0.94立方毫米;假设同时有8个键被按下,橡胶弹圈3的总排气102.1立方毫米,有90个弹圈气囊薄壁3-3向上变形89.1立方毫米:同时,弹圈弹性壁3-9向外变形0.01mm时,橡胶弹圈3向外变形体积=0.30立方毫米,90个至100个橡胶弹圈3向外变形体积:27立方毫米--30立方毫米,两项合计变形体积约119立方毫米。
如图25、图26、键帽1在第一行程为:键帽1推动橡胶弹圈3由a点至c点,键帽1在第二行程为:键帽1橡胶弹圈3由c点至d点,同时,环弹性支板6的环弹性臂板6-4由c点至d点;键帽1位于上极限位时,键帽1位于a点,在外力作用下,键帽1向下位移,键帽1由a点至b点,于b点橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力增加至最大,键帽1继续向下位移,键帽1由b点至c点,橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力与位移量成反比,于c点橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力減至最小;橡胶弹圈3的弹圈触发凸台3-4与环连上板6-3接触,键帽1继续向下位移,环弹性支板6的环弹性臂板6-4被推动向下位移,键帽1由c点至d点,橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力略有增大。
如图26、环弹性支板6的环连上板6-3被推动向下位移,环连上板6-3由c点至d点,环弹性臂板6-4产生的复位弹力复位弹力与位移量的成正比,于d点环连上板6-3被弹圈触发凸台3-4的下表面可靠压在支板抵触面4-3的上板面,环弹性臂板6-4的复位弹力增加至最大,在橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力、环弹性臂板6-4的复位弹力共同作用下,使键帽1的回弹率>40%。
复位体由橡胶弹圈3构成,通过减小橡胶弹圈3的弹圈上凸台3-2的高度H1尺寸并取消橡胶弹圈3的弹圈触点3-7,使键帽1下降至下极限位时,橡胶弹圈3的复位弹力变小;,与现有技术相比,本发明减少弹圈上凸台3-2、弹圈弹性壁3-9的较大的挤压变形,大幅提升了橡胶弹圈3的使用寿命。
现有技术通过键帽1挤压弹圈上凸台3-2、弹圈弹性壁3-9产生较大的变形,获取较大的复位弹力,使键帽1的回弹率>40%;本发明主要由环弹性臂板6-4的复位弹力,使键帽1的回弹率>40%。
复位体采用橡胶弹圈3、环弹性支板6组合,优化设计后,橡胶弹圈3、环弹性支板6在使用过程中变形量减少,大幅提高了橡胶弹圈3、环弹性支板6使用寿命。
应确保:键帽1位于下极限位时,环连上板6-3所在平面仍高于环下连接部6-5所在平面,从而使环连上板6-3由高位下降至低位时,环弹性臂板6-4产生的复位弹力与向下的位移量同向增大,使键帽1位于下极限位时,环弹性臂板6-4产生的复位弹力变大。
现有技术的环弹性支板6为获取类似的崩塌手感,环弹性臂板6-4产生变形量较大,本发明:键帽1位于下极限位时,环连上板6-3所在平面仍高于环下连接部6-5所在平面,本发明的的环弹性支板6弹力与位移的成正比,不需要类似的崩塌手感,环弹性臂板6-4产生变形量较小,大幅提升了环弹性支板6的使用寿命。
