Embodiment Construction

[0022] Please refer to figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the keyboard 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The keyboard 100 includes a casing 110 , a bottom plate (not shown) and a plurality of keys 120 . The base plate is disposed in the casing 110 , and the button 120 is disposed on the casing 110 .

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2A , which shows figure 1 An exploded perspective view of one of the keys 120 in the keyboard 100 of . The button 120 is composed of a base 121 , a keycap 122 , a supporting structure 123 , a first magnetic element 124 , and a second magnetic element 125 . The keycap 122 is disposed on the base 121 for pressing by the user. The support structure 123 is located between the base 121 and the keycap 122 , and its two ends are respectively movably connected to the base 121 and the keycap 122 , which can drive the keycap 122 to move up and down relative to the base 121 . The first magnetic element 124 is disposed on...

Abstract

The invention relates to a key and a keyboard using the same. The button includes a base, a keycap, a supporting structure, a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element. The keycap is arranged on the base. One end of the support structure is movably connected to the keycap, and the other end is movably connected to the base, so as to drive the keycap to move up and down relative to the base. The first magnetic element is arranged on the base. The second magnetic element can attract each other with the first magnetic element, and one end of the second magnetic element is connected to the keycap or the supporting structure. When the keycap is not pressed, the first magnetic element attracts the second magnetic element, and when the keycap is pressed and moves downward, the first magnetic element is separated from the second magnetic element. The button of the present invention produces a pressing step feeling through the adsorption and separation of the magnetic element, and serves as the driving force for the reset of the keycap.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the original application with an application date of June 13, 2013, an application number of 201310232575.1, and an invention title of "Keyboard and Keyboard Using It". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a key and a keyboard using the same, and in particular to a key using magnetic force to generate a feeling of pressing a paragraph and a keyboard using the same. Background technique [0003] Even though the touch panel has been widely used in various electronic devices, the keyboard is still one of the indispensable input devices for the electronic devices in terms of general usage habits. Along with the thinning trend of portable electronic devices, the demand for thinning keyboards also arises accordingly. [0004] The known keyboard keys are often equipped with rubber dome and other similar elastic elements, which can trigger the switch to send an electric signal when pressed, and can also prov...
