Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the development of the information industry, computers are increasingly widely used. No matter whether it is a notebook computer or a desktop computer, it is inseparable from the computer keyboard; at present, most of the existing keyboards use scissor foot structure, and this traditional structure cannot make the keyboard ultra-thin. structure, and the cost of making components and processes is relatively high, and its quality is difficult to control; while a keyboard made entirely of soft rubber may not require a scissor foot structure, but the soft rubber is easy to deform, and it is easy to deform and shift without a skeleton support, and The key surface affects the feel; in addition, the characters on the existing keyboard are all arranged on the surface of the key, and there is a possibility of wear and tear after long-term use. In addition, the light transmittance of the keyboard backlight of the existing fully enclosed keycap is not high. And the heat dissipation performance needs to be improved, how to set up a brand-new keyboard to overcome the above defects has become a problem to be solved

Embodiment Construction

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention discloses a keyboard with hollow keys and elastic silicone body. The keyboard only consists of an integrated key 10, a key grid bracket 20, a printed circuit film 30 located under the integrated key 10, and a printed circuit film fixed on the printed circuit board. The elastic silicone body 40 on the thin 30 switch 31 and the keyboard chassis 50 supported under the printed circuit film 30;

[0025] The one-piece key 10 is composed of several hard rubber key surfaces 101 and several elastic soft rubber connectors 102 through secondary injection molding of soft and hard rubber to form several one-piece buttons with cap-shaped structures, and the soft rubber connectors 102 is formed by a soft rubber plane layer 102a and a soft rubber side layer through a soft rubber injection molding. The software side layer is a hollow structure. The soft rubber supports the hollow part between the connecting parts 102b;

Abstract

The invention relates to a keyboard with hollowed keys and elastic silicone gel bodies. The keyboard is composed of an integrated key assembly, a key square bracket, a printed circuit film under the integrated key assembly, the elastic silicone gel bodies which are fixed on printed circuit film switches, and a keyboard chassis which supports the printed circuit film from below; according to the integrated key assembly, a plurality of hard plastic key surfaces and a plurality of soft plastic connecting bodies are molded into a plurality of cap type structures through two-step hard plastic and soft plastic injection molding; a soft plastic flat surface layer and a soft plastic side surface layer are molded into the soft plastic connecting bodies through one-step soft plastic injection molding; and the soft plastic side surface layer is of a hollowed structure and is composed of at least three soft plastic support connecting portions which are arranged at intervals to form a planar structure and hollowed portions which are arranged between the soft plastic support connecting portions. With the above structure adopted, the keyboard of the invention has the advantages of high elasticity, high light transmittance, excellent heat dissipation performance, low cost, simple assembly and good pressing hand feel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer keyboards, in particular to a keyboard with hollow keys and elastic silicon colloid, which has good elasticity, high light transmittance, good heat dissipation performance, low cost, simple assembly and good pressing feel.
