Description
本發明係有關一種鍵盤架構，尤指一種薄型鍵盤之強化架構。The invention relates to a keyboard architecture, in particular to a reinforced architecture of a thin keyboard.
鍵盤裝置為目前電腦系統中主要用來輸入指令的設備，由於電腦系統的使用環境與時機漸趨多元，鍵盤裝置亦必須隨之發展而符合使用者的需求。在低亮度或黑暗環境下，為了能使尚不熟悉鍵盤操作的使用者準確敲擊鍵盤上各個按鍵位置，已經開發出許多具有發光能力的鍵盤，如美國公告第US 5,936,554號、第US 7,278,750號、中華民國公告第566612號與第581961號專利案等，分別揭露多種單一按鍵對應至少一發光二極體的發光鍵盤裝置，然此種型態的發光鍵盤需要配置大量的發光二極體，勢必增加整體鍵盤組件的數目，且增加製造工序與成本，產品亦無法達到輕量化。此外，大量發光二極體所產生的廢熱與耗費的電力，同樣造成使用者的困擾。The keyboard device is a device mainly used for inputting commands in the current computer system. Since the environment and timing of the computer system are increasingly diversified, the keyboard device must also be developed to meet the needs of the user. In low-light or dark environments, in order to enable users who are not familiar with keyboard operations to accurately tap the various key positions on the keyboard, a number of keyboards having illumination capabilities have been developed, such as US Publication No. US 5,936,554, US 7,278,750. , the Republic of China Announcement No. 566612 and No. 581961, etc., respectively, disclose a plurality of single-keyboards corresponding to at least one light-emitting diode device, but this type of illuminated keyboard needs to be configured with a large number of light-emitting diodes, which is bound to Increasing the number of overall keyboard components, and increasing the manufacturing process and cost, the product can not achieve weight reduction. In addition, the waste heat generated by a large number of light-emitting diodes and the power consumed are also caused by users.
因此，為了克服前述發光鍵盤的缺失，即出現另一種型態的發光鍵盤，如美國公告第US 6,179,432號、第US 6,199,996號、第US 6,217,183號；第US 6,284,988號、第US 6,322,229號、第US 6,554,442號、第US 6,590,508號、第US 6,648,530號、第US 6,860,612號、第US 7,235,752號、第US 7,239,303號以及第US 7,388,167號，以及中華民國公告第509955號、第516671號、第587800號、第594546號、第I230957號、第I231693號、第M240668號、第M313281號專利案等。其主要的特色在於以電致發光板(Electroluminescent Sheet)、光纖板材(Optical Fiber panel)等發光背板取代大量的發光二極體，由於此種發光鍵盤得以透過單一發光背板而使整體鍵盤均勻發光，相較於前述型態的發光鍵盤，確實能減少內部零件而方便組裝，且發光背板的耗電量極低，有利於長時間使用。Therefore, in order to overcome the absence of the aforementioned illuminated keyboard, another type of illuminated keyboard is presented, such as US Pat. No. 6,179,432, US Pat. No. 6,199,996, No. 6,217,183; US Pat. No. 6,284,988, No. 6,322,229, No. 6,554,442, US 6,590,508, US 6,648,530, US 6,860,612, US 7,235,752, US 7,239,303, and US 7,388,167, and Republic of China Announcement No. 509955, No. 516671, No. 587800, Cases No. 594546, No. I230957, No. I231693, No. M240668, No. M313281, and the like. The main feature is that a large number of light-emitting diodes are replaced by an illuminating backplane such as an electroluminescent sheet or an optical fiber panel. The illuminating keyboard can make the whole keyboard uniform through a single illuminating backboard. Compared with the above-mentioned type of illuminated keyboard, the light-emitting keyboard can reduce the internal parts and facilitate assembly, and the power consumption of the light-emitting back board is extremely low, which is beneficial for long-term use.
然而，不管是以發光二極體或是以發光背板作為發光鍵盤的核心發光元件，相較於傳統不發光的鍵盤，仍因為需要於鍵盤內設置額外的發光元件而勢必造成鍵盤厚度以及重量的增加。再者，如美國公告第US 6987466號、中華民國公開第200529048號專利案所揭示，為了提升使用者打字時的回饋力道感，習知的發光鍵盤揭露以一堅硬的底板承載該發光背板以及基板，使得設置於該基板上的鍵盤部具有紮實的支撐結構。然而，為了具備發光能力又可達到輕量化的目的，市面上即出現不使用底板的發光鍵盤，而僅以基板與發光背板承載該等按壓件，如美國公開第2010026528號、第2010103644號與中華民國公告第M408732號專利案，由於鍵盤部失去了堅硬的底板的承載，而基板與發光背板的結構強度又不足，則承載該等按壓件的基板容易因外力作用產生形變，因而削弱使用者打字時的回饋力道感。However, whether it is a light-emitting diode or a light-emitting backplane as the core light-emitting component of the illuminated keyboard, compared with the conventional non-light-emitting keyboard, the thickness and weight of the keyboard are inevitably caused by the need to provide additional light-emitting elements in the keyboard. Increase. In addition, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,987,466, and the Republic of China Publication No. 200529048, in order to enhance the feedback feeling of the user when typing, the conventional illuminated keyboard exposes the illuminated backplane with a rigid bottom plate and The substrate has a keyboard portion disposed on the substrate having a solid support structure. However, in order to achieve the purpose of light-emitting capability and light weight, an illuminated keyboard that does not use a bottom plate appears on the market, and the pressing members are only carried by the substrate and the light-emitting backplane, such as US Publication No. 2010026528, No. 2010103644. In the case of the Republic of China Announcement No. M408732, since the keyboard portion loses the load of the hard bottom plate, and the structural strength of the substrate and the light-emitting back plate is insufficient, the substrate carrying the pressing members is easily deformed by an external force, thereby weakening the use. The feeling of feedback when typing.
另一方面，一發光鍵盤通常包含有一承載按壓件的基板、一容置複數個按壓件的頂板與一設置於該基板與該頂板之間的發光背板，為了將該基板、發光背板與頂板結合以完成發光鍵盤的組裝，通常係於該基板、發光背板設置有相對應的複數固定孔，而頂板上設有相對於該等固定孔的複數固定部，再以大量的固定元件將該固定孔與該固定部結合，如此，除了增加不必要的重量而無法使鍵盤更進一步輕量化之外，更增加了組裝鍵盤的製造工序與成本。In another aspect, an illuminated keyboard generally includes a substrate carrying a pressing member, a top plate for accommodating a plurality of pressing members, and a light emitting back plate disposed between the substrate and the top plate, in order to The top plate is combined to complete the assembly of the illuminated keyboard, usually the substrate and the light-emitting back plate are provided with corresponding plurality of fixing holes, and the top plate is provided with a plurality of fixing portions relative to the fixing holes, and then a plurality of fixing members are used The fixing hole is combined with the fixing portion, and the manufacturing process and cost of assembling the keyboard are further increased in addition to adding unnecessary weight to make the keyboard more lightweight.
本發明之主要目的，在於使基板的結構強度增加而不易受力彎折。The main object of the present invention is to increase the structural strength of the substrate without being easily bent.
本發明之另一目的，在於使用少量的固定元件即可完成鍵盤組裝，以進一步減輕鍵盤重量而達成輕量化的目的，同時降低組裝鍵盤的工序與成本。Another object of the present invention is to complete the keyboard assembly by using a small number of fixing elements, thereby further reducing the weight of the keyboard and achieving weight reduction, while reducing the process and cost of assembling the keyboard.

有關本發明之詳細說明及技術內容，現就配合圖式說明如下：The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will now be described as follows:
請參閱圖1與圖2所示，係本發明一實施例之俯視及仰視結構分解示意圖，如圖1、2所示，本發明之薄型鍵盤之強化架構包括有一基板1、一電路板2、一鍵盤部3與一頂板4。該基板1具有複數個組接部11以接設該鍵盤部3，該基板1與該電路板2對應設有一卡合部17與一通孔21，該卡合部17穿過該通孔21以將該電路板2定位於該基板1上，該頂板4接設於該基板1且設有至少一開放孔41，該鍵盤部3位於該頂板4之複數個開放孔41內並得相對該電路板2進行上下位移以構成一按壓行程來產生按鍵指令訊號並輸出。1 and FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded view of a top view and a bottom view of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the reinforced structure of the thin keyboard of the present invention includes a substrate 1 and a circuit board 2 . A keyboard portion 3 and a top plate 4. The substrate 1 has a plurality of connecting portions 11 for connecting the keyboard portion 3. The substrate 1 and the circuit board 2 are correspondingly provided with an engaging portion 17 and a through hole 21, and the engaging portion 17 passes through the through hole 21 Positioning the circuit board 2 on the substrate 1. The top plate 4 is connected to the substrate 1 and is provided with at least one opening 41. The keyboard portion 3 is located in the plurality of open holes 41 of the top plate 4 and opposite to the circuit. The plate 2 is displaced up and down to form a pressing stroke to generate a button command signal and output.
更進一步而言，該鍵盤部3包含有多組鍵帽31、多組架橋連動件32、多組彈性體33，而圖1所示之鍵盤部3僅為其中之一以方便說明，其中，該架橋連動件32之上下兩端分別連接位於該開放孔41內的鍵帽31以及該基板1的組接部11，而該彈性體33則位於該架橋連動件32內，當使用者打字時，該電路板2係於該等鍵帽31上下位移時受該彈性體33的觸壓而輸出按鍵指令訊號。Further, the keyboard portion 3 includes a plurality of sets of keycaps 31, a plurality of sets of bridging links 32, and a plurality of sets of elastic bodies 33, and the keyboard portion 3 shown in FIG. 1 is only one of them for convenience of description, wherein The upper and lower ends of the bridge linkage 32 are respectively connected to the key cap 31 located in the opening hole 41 and the assembly portion 11 of the substrate 1. The elastic body 33 is located in the bridge linkage 32 when the user types. The circuit board 2 outputs a key command signal by the contact of the elastic body 33 when the key caps 31 are displaced up and down.
請一併參閱圖3所示，係本發明一實施例之基板局部結構放大示意圖，該基板1之端緣經過一第一彎折線12後垂直向上延伸出一強化部13，並由該強化部13之另一端緣經一第二彎折線14後水平向外延伸出一接合部15，如此，該強化部13與該接合部15即於該基板1的四個端緣分別形成一階梯狀的結構，且該階梯狀結構分別於該第一彎折線12與該第二彎折線14的位置形成一彎折段，透過該彎折段不易受力彎曲的特性，該基板1的結構強度將大為增加而不易因受外力作用而產生形變，如此，亦提升使用者打字時的回饋力道感。Referring to FIG. 3, it is an enlarged schematic view of a partial structure of a substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. The edge of the substrate 1 extends vertically upward through a first bending line 12 to form a reinforcing portion 13 and is supported by the reinforcing portion. The other end edge of the third end of the substrate 1 extends through a second bending line 14 to form a joint portion 15 . Thus, the reinforcing portion 13 and the joint portion 15 form a stepped shape on the four end edges of the substrate 1 . a structure, wherein the stepped structure forms a bent portion at a position of the first bending line 12 and the second bending line 14, respectively, and the structural strength of the substrate 1 is large by the fact that the bending portion is not easily bent by the force. In order to increase, it is not easy to be deformed by the action of external force. In this way, the feedback feeling of the user when typing is also improved.
另一方面，請一併參閱圖1至圖3，為了使該基板1得以與該頂板4接合，該基板1的接合部15設有至少一固定孔151，而該頂板4對應該固定孔151設有至少一固定部42，一固定元件50可穿過該固定孔151並固定於該固定部42，以將該基板1結合於該頂板4，其中，該固定元件50可為鉚釘或是螺絲，但並不用以限定本發明。如此，本發明之架構僅需要於基板1與該頂板4的周邊設置相對應的接合結構，即可以少量的固定元件完成組裝，故相當程度地降低了組裝鍵盤的工序與成本。於另一實施例中，請參閱圖4所示，為使該基板1的下方能夠增設有可發光之構件、保護該基板1免於受到外力的破壞，並進一步加強基板1的結構強度，該基板1的下方設有一支撐座6以承載該基板1。該支撐座6對應該基板1之接合部15設有一支撐部61，且該支撐部61具有至少一對應該固定孔151的定位孔611。該固定元件50可同時穿設該定位孔611與該固定孔151後定位於該固定部42。On the other hand, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in order to enable the substrate 1 to be joined to the top plate 4, the joint portion 15 of the substrate 1 is provided with at least one fixing hole 151, and the top plate 4 corresponds to the fixing hole 151. At least one fixing portion 42 is disposed, a fixing member 50 can pass through the fixing hole 151 and be fixed to the fixing portion 42 to bond the substrate 1 to the top plate 4, wherein the fixing member 50 can be a rivet or a screw It is not intended to limit the invention. Thus, the architecture of the present invention only needs to provide a corresponding bonding structure between the substrate 1 and the periphery of the top plate 4, that is, the assembly can be completed with a small number of fixing components, so that the process and cost of assembling the keyboard are considerably reduced. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to enable a light-emitting member to be attached under the substrate 1, to protect the substrate 1 from external force damage, and to further strengthen the structural strength of the substrate 1, A support base 6 is disposed under the substrate 1 to carry the substrate 1. The support base 6 is provided with a support portion 61 corresponding to the joint portion 15 of the substrate 1, and the support portion 61 has at least one pair of positioning holes 611 to which the holes 151 should be fixed. The fixing member 50 can be positioned at the fixing portion 42 after the positioning hole 611 and the fixing hole 151 are simultaneously inserted.
此外，由於該接合部15相對於該基板1具有一段高度落差，而該支撐部61之厚度正好可補足該高度落差，且該支撐部61具有複數個凹槽612，故穿過該固定孔151並定位於該固定部42的固定元件50即可容置於該凹槽612中，以避免該固定元件50將該支撐部61與該接合部15隔開，因此，該支撐部61得以緊密接觸該接合部15而使該接合部15於底部受到支撐而不易受力彎折，如此，該支撐座6、該基板1、該電路板2、該鍵盤部3、該頂板4組裝完成後能夠形成一更加堅固之薄型鍵盤的強化架構。In addition, since the joint portion 15 has a height difference with respect to the substrate 1, and the thickness of the support portion 61 is sufficient to make up the height drop, and the support portion 61 has a plurality of grooves 612, the fixing hole 151 is passed through the fixing hole 151. The fixing member 50 positioned on the fixing portion 42 can be received in the recess 612 to prevent the fixing member 50 from separating the supporting portion 61 from the engaging portion 15. Therefore, the supporting portion 61 is in close contact with each other. The joint portion 15 supports the joint portion 15 at the bottom portion and is not easily bent. Thus, the support base 6, the substrate 1, the circuit board 2, the keyboard portion 3, and the top plate 4 can be formed after assembly. A reinforced architecture for a more robust thin keyboard.
更有甚者，為了進一步增加該基板1的結構強度，除了如上述之實施例所示，於該基板1之下方增設一支撐座6外，亦可如圖5與圖6所示，於該基板1未設有組接部11之空白區域增設至少一補強肋16，於圖5所示的實施例中，該等補強肋16係以沿著同方向且互不交錯的方式設置於該空白區域上，故可增加該基板1於一平行該補強肋16延伸之方向上的結構強度，而於圖6所示的實施例中，該等補強肋16係以沿著不同方向且相互交錯的方式設置於該空白區域上，如此，該基板1於各方向上的結構強度皆可具有一定程度的提升。至於該等補強肋16的製造方式，較佳的係該等補強肋16與該基板1以一體沖壓的方式製成，但並不用以限定本發明。In addition, in order to further increase the structural strength of the substrate 1, in addition to the support base 6 disposed below the substrate 1 as shown in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. At least one reinforcing rib 16 is added to the blank area of the substrate 1 where the assembly portion 11 is not provided. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the reinforcing ribs 16 are disposed in the same direction and are not staggered with each other. In the region, the structural strength of the substrate 1 in a direction parallel to the extension of the reinforcing ribs 16 can be increased, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the reinforcing ribs 16 are interlaced in different directions. The manner is set on the blank area, so that the structural strength of the substrate 1 in all directions can be improved to some extent. As for the manner of manufacturing the reinforcing ribs 16, it is preferred that the reinforcing ribs 16 and the substrate 1 are integrally stamped, but are not intended to limit the invention.
