Key structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a key structure. The key structure comprises key caps, guiding mechanisms arranged on the key caps, actuating parts movably connected with the guiding mechanisms, circuit units, elastic parts and returning units. When a key cap is subjected to pressure, the key cap moves to a low position through a trigger position from a high position downwards. When the key cap moves to the trigger position, the corresponding circuit unit abuts against the corresponding actuating part to generate a trigger signal, and a preset length of the corresponding elastic part is maintained, so that relative motion between the corresponding actuating part and the key cap does not exist. When the key cap moves to the low position from the trigger position, the corresponding actuating part stops moving downwards, and the corresponding elastic part is compressed so as to enable the corresponding actuating part to move relative to the corresponding guiding mechanism. When the pressure is released, the corresponding elastic part and the corresponding returning unit provides elastic force and returning force respectively so as to enable the corresponding actuating part and the key cap to be returned to a position before the key cap is pressed. According to the key structure disclosed by the invention, the trigger signal is generated in a key stroke period so as to improve the trigger speed under the condition without influencing the key stroke, so that a trigger signal transmission path is more direct and quicker.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a button structure, more specifically, a button structure that can be triggered quickly without affecting the stroke of the button. Background technique [0002] A keyboard is a major tool for inputting commands into a computer and is widely used by computer users. A keyboard generally includes keycaps, a circuit board with switches, and an elastic body. When the keycap is pressed, the keycap will move downward from the initial position, compress the elastic body below, and trigger the switch of the circuit board. At this time, the elastic body will generate a restoring force due to the compression. When the pressing is released, the restoring force of the elastic body will act on the keycap, prompting the keycap to return to the initial position, and the next pressing can be performed. [0003] It should be noted that the speed at which the keycap returns to the initial position is directly proportional to the restoring forc...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, computer users have various requirements for the feel of the keyboard. For example, some people require that the keycap return to the initial position as soon as possible after being pressed, while others require that the keycap return to the initial position after being pressed. slow the better

However, the speed at which the keycaps of the current keyboard return to the initial position after being pressed cannot be adjusted, so it cannot meet the requirements of all computer users.
