That is, it is difficult to meet the requirements of light, thin and short conditions. A double-link parallel mechanism (i.e., a scissor-type support structure) is used to guide the keycap (4) to move straight and balance the user's force on each button. Thereby, regardless of the force applied to the side or corner of the button, the force can be evenly distributed over the entire button surface, making it easy to press the entire button' also makes it easier for the user to operate the button, and can Solve the lack of the above-mentioned vertical cylindrical keycap. However, the assembly type 4 M405002, which currently assembles the keycap on the scissor support structure, often has to be assembled manually, and must be assembled into at least two steps. First, the slider cover of the keycap must be engaged obliquely with the sliding shaft of the scissor support structure, and then the pivoting portion of the keycap is engaged with the fixed shaft of the cutter support structure. It can be seen that the above-mentioned manual assembly method can not easily improve the assembly speed, and may easily cause omission in assembly without knowing. In addition, since the assembly force is difficult to control, it is also liable to cause damage to the keycap or scissor support structure in the button. [New content] In order to solve the problem of the prior art, one of the technical aspects of the present invention is a button, which is mainly for improving the structure of the keycap for the connection of the sliding shaft of the scissor support structure. When the key cap is pressed perpendicularly toward the sliding shaft by the assembly port between the sliding groove structure and the blocking arm, the sliding shaft can be elastically deformed by the sliding groove structure and the blocking arm to pass through the assembly port, thereby engaging with the sliding groove structure. . Therefore, the key cap of the present invention can be assembled only by a single step of pressing vertically toward the scissor support structure, without the need to assemble the keycap obliquely to the scissor support structure as in the past. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a button includes a scissor support structure and a keycap. The scissor support structure includes a first link. The first link has a sliding shaft. The keycap includes a chute structure and a stop arm. The slide shaft is slidably coupled to the chute structure. The baffle arm is used to prevent the sliding shaft from coming off the chute structure. An assembly port is formed between the chute structure and the baffle arm. The sliding shaft is coupled to the chute structure through the assembly port, and the assembly port and the sliding shaft are in an interference fit. Another technical aspect of this creation is a keyboard. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a keyboard includes a backplane and presses the M405002 key. The button is set on the bottom plate. The buttons contain a scissor support structure and a keycap. The scissor support structure includes a first link. The first link has a sliding shaft. The keycap includes a chute structure and a stop arm. The slide shaft is slidably coupled to the chute structure. The baffle arm is used to prevent the sliding shaft from coming off the chute structure. An assembly port is formed between the chute structure and the arm. The sliding shaft is coupled to the chute structure through the assembly port, and the assembly port and the sliding shaft are in an interference fit. [Embodiment] A plurality of embodiments of the present invention are disclosed in the following drawings, and for the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not applied to limit the creation. That is to say, in the implementation part of this creation, these practical details are not necessary. Moreover, some of the conventional structures and elements are shown in the drawings in a simplified schematic manner in order to simplify the drawings. One of the technical aspects of this creation is a keyboard. More specifically, it is primarily intended to improve the structure of the keycap for engaging the sliding shaft of the scissor support structure. When the key cap is pressed perpendicularly toward the sliding shaft by the assembly port between the sliding groove structure and the blocking arm, the sliding shaft can be elastically deformed by the sliding groove structure and the support arm to pass through the assembly port, thereby engaging with the sliding groove structure. . Therefore, the key cap of the present invention can be assembled only by a single step of being vertically pressed toward the scissor support structure, without the need to previously assemble the keycap obliquely to the scissor support structure as in the past. Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a perspective view of a keyboard 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the keyboard 1 of the present embodiment may be an external keyboard (for example, a keyboard) for a desktop type 6 or a keyboard or a keyboard for a keyboard or interface including a keyboard. Computer; = computer system (for example, the hammer of the pen! -r, Ren is not limited to this. In other words, this creation, special 3 is used for any electronic production with the button as the input interface The key of the scissor-type support structure can be solved by the concept of the first one, and the problem of the reduction of the rag can be solved. 2 1 shows that the keyboard i of the embodiment can include the bottom plate 1〇 And a plurality of buttons 12. Each button 12 w is provided on the bottom plate 10. The structure of each component in the button 12 of the present embodiment will be described in detail below. 第 Refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2A. FIG. To show a side view of the button 12 in the figure i, wherein the keycap 122 is in the unpressed position. Fig. 2A is a side view showing the button 12 in Fig. 1, wherein the keycap 122 is in the lowest pressed position. 2A and 2B, in the present embodiment, the button 12 can be packaged. There is a scissor support structure 120 and a key cap 122. The scissor structure 120 includes a first link i20a and a second link 120b. The first link i2〇a and the second link 120b of the scissor support structure 120 The bottom plate of the keyboard 1 can further include a first pivotal structure l〇〇a and a limiting structure i〇〇b. The first connection of the scissor support structure 120 One end of the rod 120a adjacent to the bottom plate 10 includes a fixed shaft 120f. The fixed shaft 120f can be pivotally connected to the first pivoting structure 100a of the bottom plate 10. The second link 120b of the scissor support structure 12 is close to the bottom plate. One end of the 1〇 includes a sliding shaft I20g, and the sliding shaft 120g can be slidably limited to the limiting structure 100b of the bottom plate 10. Thereby, the scissor supporting structure 120 of the M405002 button 12 can be disposed on the bottom plate 10. As shown in FIG. 2B, in the present embodiment, the other end of the first link 120a of the scissor support structure 120 may have a sliding shaft 120c, and the other end of the second link 120b may have a fixed shaft 120d. The keycap 122 can include a chute structure 122a and a block The arm 122b and the second pivoting structure 122g. The sliding shaft 120c of the first link 120a is slidably coupled to the sliding slot structure 122a of the keycap 122. The blocking arm 122b of the keycap 122 can be used to prevent the sliding of the first link 120a. The shaft 120c is separated from the chute structure 122a. The fixed shaft 120d of the second connecting rod i2〇b is pivotally connected to the second pivoting structure 122g of the keycap 122. The bottom plate 10, the scissor support structure 120 and the key cap are provided by the above-mentioned bottom plate 10. When the key cap 122 of the button 12 is pressed, the key cap 122 of the button 12 can reciprocate vertically between the unpressed position of FIG. 2A and the lowest pressed position of FIG. 2B. In addition, in the present embodiment, the button 12 may further include a dome 124 disposed between the bottom plate 1 and the keycap 122. In general, the dome 124 is typically made of a soft material such as rubber. Therefore, the dome 124 of the button 12 can be pressed and deformed in conjunction with the pressing of the key cap 122, thereby contacting the bottom plate 1 and electrically connecting the switch which is originally provided on the base plate 10 to be disconnected. Also shown in Figures 2A and 2B, an assembly opening 122c can be formed between the end of the chute structure 122a of the keycap 122 and the end of the baffle arm 122b. When the keycap 122 is assembled to the scissor support structure 12'', the sliding shaft 120c of the first link i2〇a can be engaged to the chute structure 122a through the assembly port 122c.
