Embodiment
See also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram according to the keyboard 3 of the utility model one execution mode.As shown in Figure 2, keyboard 3 comprises base plate 4 and a plurality of button 5.Button 5 is arranged on the base plate 4, pushes for the user, and then carries out the function of user institute desire input.In this execution mode, keyboard 3 can be kinds of miniaturized keyboards (slim keyboard), and button 5 can be the miniaturization button, but not as limit.
See also Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 3 is the outside drawing of one of them button 5 among Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is the explosive view of the button 5 among Fig. 3.As Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, button 5 comprises keycap 52, base plate 4 and liftable supporter 56.Liftable supporter 56 is arranged between keycap 52 and the base plate 4.Liftable supporter 56 comprises strutting piece 562 and moving part 564.In this execution mode, the intensity of moving part 564 is greater than the intensity of strutting piece 562.For example, moving part 564 can be made by metal material, and strutting piece 562 can be made by plastic material, but not as limit.In addition, base plate 4 has two first holding sections 40 that are oppositely arranged and two second holding sections 42 that are oppositely arranged.
In practical application, button 5 can comprise circuit board (not shown) and elastic component (not shown) in addition, and wherein circuit board is arranged on the base plate 4, and elastic component is arranged between keycap 52 and the base plate 4.Have the switch corresponding on the circuit board, for example thin film switch (membrane switch) or other triggering property switch with button 5.Elastic component can be rubber washer (rubber dome), but not as limit.Elastic force required when elastic component promptly moves up and down as keycap 52 relative base plates 4 is originated.When button 5 is pressed, the switch on the elastic component meeting circuits for triggering plate, and then carry out the function that user institute desire is imported.
As shown in Figure 4, strutting piece 562 has first pivot connected slot 5622 and second pivot connected slot, 5624, the first pivot connected slots 5622 and second pivot connected slot 5624 and is oppositely arranged.The other end that one end of first pivot connected slot 5622 has first pivoted hole, 56220, the first pivot connected slots 5622 has first holes 56222.The other end that one end of second pivot connected slot 5624 has second pivoted hole, 56240, the second pivot connected slots 5624 has second holes 56242.Strutting piece 562 has two the 3rd sliding parts 5626 that are oppositely arranged and two the 3rd articulated sections 5628 that are oppositely arranged in addition.In this execution mode, the opening direction of first holes 56222 is identical with the opening direction of second holes 56242, that is first holes 56222 and second holes 56242 are formed on the homonymy of strutting piece 562.In addition, the opening direction of first holes 56222 also can be opposite with the opening direction of second holes 56242, that is first holes 56222 can be respectively formed at the not homonymy of strutting piece 562 with second holes 56242, decides on practical application.
Moving part 564 has first articulated section 5640, second articulated section 5642, first sliding part 5644, second sliding part 5646 and the 5th articulated section 5648.In this execution mode, first articulated section 5640, second articulated section 5642, first sliding part 5644, second sliding part 5646 and the 5th articulated section 5648 are via moving part 564 bending and moldings.In other words, moving part 564 can be one-body molded in the mode of bending by metalwork, and is not only simple in structure and easy to manufacture.
When moving part 564 and strutting piece 562 assemblings, first pivot connected slot 5622 can be slipped into via first holes 56222 in first articulated section 5640, and then is placed in first pivoted hole 56220 rotationally; In like manner, second pivot connected slot 5624 also can be slipped into via second holes 56242 in second articulated section 5642, and then is placed in second pivoted hole 56240 rotationally.By this, can make first articulated section 5640 be articulated in first pivot connected slot 5622, and second articulated section 5642 is articulated in second pivot connected slot 5624, to finish the assembling of liftable supporter 56.
As shown in Figure 5, Fig. 5 is that keycap 52 among Fig. 4 is in the outside drawing at another visual angle.Keycap 52 has two the 3rd holding sections 522 and two the 4th holding sections 524.In this execution mode, the 3rd holding section 522 can be designed to sliding tray, and the 4th holding section 524 can be designed to open pivoted hole.See also Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the schematic diagram that Fig. 6 is removed for the keycap 52 among Fig. 3.During assembling, first sliding part 5644 of moving part 564 and second sliding part 5646 are mounted slidably respectively in two first holding sections 40 of base plate 54, and the 5th articulated section 5648 of moving part 564 is articulated in the 4th holding section 524 of keycap 52 rotationally.In addition, strutting piece 562 has two the 3rd sliding parts 5626 and two the 3rd articulated sections 5628 in addition, during assembling, two the 3rd sliding parts 5626 are mounted slidably respectively in two the 3rd holding sections 522 of keycap 52, and two the 3rd articulated sections 5628 are articulated in two second holding sections 42 of base plate 54 rotationally.By this, button 5 assemblings are finished.
After button 5 assemblings were finished, when the user pushed keycap 52, keycap 52 promptly can be followed the direction vertical moving of liftable supporter 56 towards base plate 4.In addition, when the user only pushed a side of keycap 52, moving part 564 still can make keycap 52 relative base plate 4 balances move up and down.
Compared to prior art, the utility model is when assembling strutting piece and moving part, operator only needs holes on the strutting piece is aimed in the articulated section of moving part, again the articulated section is pressed into pivoted hole along pivot connected slot and get final product, not only can increase the convenience of assembling and difficult strutting piece be caused damage.Because the intensity of moving part is greater than the intensity of strutting piece, moving part also has the effect of supplemental support.
In addition, in the micro press-key of long strip type, moving part can link moving of keycap two ends effectively, and when the user only pushed a side of keycap, moving part still can make the relative base plate balance of keycap move up and down.Moreover the articulated section of moving part and sliding part are the moving part bending and molding, moving part are had simultaneously articulate the function with interlock, thereby reach and save the purpose that cost and button are easier to miniaturization.
According to the detailed description of above embodiment, hope can be known description feature of the present utility model and spirit more, and is not to come the utility model is limited with above-mentioned disclosed embodiment.
