Key cap and manufacturing method thereof, key board with key cap, and laptop

Abstract

The invention discloses a key cap and a manufacturing method thereof, which aim to improve the user application performance. The manufacturing method of the key cap comprises the following steps: pre-drying, drying raw material polyformaldehyde particles; particles making, mixing the dried polyformaldehyde particles with a laser chromogenic agent to make the particles; injection molding, adding the raw material particles after particle making into an injection molding machine to carry out the injection molding of the key cap; and pattern forming, radiating the key cap by utilizing a laser to form a required surface pattern on the key cap. Compared with the prior art, the scheme selects a metaformaldehyde material as the base material of the key cap, the unique self-lubricating performance of the base material can bring unique touch feeling to a user, so as to greatly improve the user application performance of the product. In addition, the surface pattern of the key cap formed according to the scheme can not protrude from the base material, the base material changes the color to form the pattern, so that the pattern is more anti-abrasion. On the basis, the invention further provides the key board applying the key cap and a laptop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic products, in particular to a key cap and a manufacturing method thereof, a keyboard with the key cap, and a notebook computer. Background technique [0002] Based on the current usage habits of most personal computers, it is obvious that the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for inputting characters, symbols or numbers. In addition, most of the electronic products in daily life or the on-type processing equipment used in the industry need to be provided with a key structure as an input device to operate the corresponding electronic product or processing equipment. [0003] The conventional solution for the keycaps of existing notebook keyboards is to use ABS plastic injection technology to form them, and divide them into dark-colored and light-colored types according to the color of the base material. The process roughly follows the three main steps of biting flower → silk scr...

Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, the two steps of silk screen printing and UV ink masking the screen printing make the pattern on the surface of the key top and its outer ring partially protrude from the substrate, which is what the industry calls "eye bags" that affect the overall appearance of the keyboard, and thus reduce the product. User performance; of course, if large-scale spraying of UV inks overcomes the problem of local prominence, it will inevitably bring higher cost pressure

In addition, as the main interface of notebook ergonomics, the touch of the keyboard directly affects the user usability of the product. The existing ABS-based keycaps give people an obvious hard feeling
