Problems solved by technology

However, due to the poor adhesion between the metal material and the ink layer, it often causes the ink layer to fall off. In addition, if the keycap is additionally designed to increase the hardness of the ink layer to improve the wear resistance of the ink layer , it will further reduce the adhesion between the metal material and the ink layer and make the ink layer fall off more seriously, thus affecting the operation quality and service life of the keyboard when it is equipped with metal keycaps

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Please refer to FIG. 1(A) to FIG. 1(E), which are schematic diagrams of the manufacturing process of the metal keycap 10 proposed according to an embodiment of the present invention. The metal keycap 10 provided by the present invention can be applied on the keyboard, for convenience Note, the keyboard 1 shown in Fig. 1(A) is presented in a perspective view, while Fig. 1(B) to Fig. 1(E) are presented in a schematic top view supplemented by a schematic cross-sectional view along the section line X-X and only a single keycap.

[0019] First, as shown in FIG. 1(E), the metal keycap 10 includes a keycap body 12, an ink layer 14, and a protective layer 16. The keycap body 12 has a top surface 18, and the top surface 18 has a patterned microstructure area 20. The ink layer 14 is attached to the patterned microstructure area 20 , and the protection layer 16 is formed on the ink layer 14 . 1(A) to FIG. 1(E) for illustration, the structure of the other metal keycaps 10 with the...

Abstract

Provided in the invention is a metal keycap. The metal keycap comprises a main keycap body having a top surface and an ink layer; a pattern microstructure zone is formed at the top surface; and the ink layer is attached to the pattern microstructure zone. Compared with the prior art, the provided metal key cap has the beneficial effect that a design that the ink layer is formed at the pattern microstructure zone of the main keycap body is employed, thereby strengthening the effect of an adhesive force between the ink layer and the main keycap body. Therefore, the provided metal keycap enables a problem of easy shedding of the ink layer to be effectively solved, thereby improving an operating quality of a keyboard configured with the metal keycap and prolonging the service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal keycap, in particular to a metal keycap in which an ink layer is formed on a pattern microstructure area on the top surface of the keycap main body. Background technique [0002] As far as current personal computer usage habits are concerned, the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for inputting characters, symbols or numbers. Not only that, but all consumer electronic products in daily life or large-scale processing equipment used in the industry need to be equipped with a keyboard as an input device for users to perform operations such as character input. [0003] Generally speaking, if you want to make the keycaps on the keyboard have a metallic luster, most of them use metal materials to make the keycaps, and then print ink on the keycaps to form text or symbols that can be recognized by users, so that users can Perform operations such as document input. However, due to the poor adhesion between the...
