Abstract

The invention discloses a key and a keyboard with the key. The key comprises a bottom plate, an upper cover, a key structure and a joint structure. The key structure is arranged on the bottom plate and comprises a key cap which is exposed out from the upper cover. The joint structure comprises a first joint member and a second joint member; the first joint member comprises a stopping part and a channel which is formed beside the stopping part; the second joint member comprises a connecting part and a bending part which is connected with the connecting part; and the bending part passes through the channel and is stopped by the stopping part, wherein the first joint member and the second joint member are oppositely arranged on the bottom plate and the upper cover so that the bottom plate and the upper cover can be directly jointed through the joint structure. Therefore, according to the key and the keyboard, provided by the invention, the integral structure of the key is simplified in view of the structure stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a button and a keyboard, in particular to a button with an upper cover connected to a bottom plate and the keyboard. Background technique [0002] Buttons and keyboards currently used in electronic devices often have a large number of components in order to make the structure stable. Generally speaking, a key or keyboard includes a housing, a bottom plate accommodated in the housing, a switch circuit (a plurality of rubber domes can be disposed on it), one or more key lifting mechanisms, and one or more key caps. The casing includes a base and an upper cover connected with the base, the aforementioned components are all arranged on the base, and the keycap is exposed from the upper cover. In order to make the keys or the keyboard operate normally, the base plate, the key lifting mechanism and the key cap are all correspondingly and firmly connected, and the switch circuit is firmly set by the restriction of the geometric struc...
