Keyboard and keyboard manufacturing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a keyboard and a keyboard manufacturing method. The keyboard comprises a bottom board, a plurality of keys, a flexible diaphragm and a plurality of first keycap fit male members. The plurality of keys are arranged on the bottom board. Each key comprises a keycap combination female member and a lifting support device, the lifting support device is arranged between the bottom board and the keycap combination female member and is detachably connected to the keycap combination female member; the keycap combination female member can move up and down with respect to the bottom board by means of the lifting support device. The plurality of first keycap fit male members are attached to the bottom surface, facing to the keycap combination female members, of the flexible diaphragm, and are attached to the keycap combination female members in a superposition manner respectively, or attached to the top surface of the flexible diaphragm and attached to the keycap combination female members in a superposition manner respectively through the flexible diaphragm to enable the flexible diaphragm to cover the plurality of keys. The keyboard and the keyboard manufacturing method can effectively solve the problems that the keycap assembly flow is time consuming and labour consuming, and assembly reject ratio is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keyboard and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a keyboard with a membrane protection function and a manufacturing method thereof. 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 key structure as an input device for users to perform operations such as character input. [0003] In actual use, in order to prevent foreign matter, such as water, dust, etc. from entering the keyboard from the structural gap between the keycaps and causing damage to the keyboard, the previous technology is to cover the top of the key with a protective film to cover the adjacent keys. Structural gaps between keys. A common way to combine the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the above method often leads to the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive keycap assembly process and high assembly failure rate because the keycaps pasted on the protective film and the lifting support device cannot be assembled and combined straight up and down.

Although the above problems can be solved by first assembling the keycap on the lifting support device and then attaching the protective film to the keycap, if the structural parts of the key are broken during the process of attaching the protective film, it will In addition, in the high-temperature environment where the protective film is attached, it is easy to cause damage to the internal components of the keyboard due to the inability to withstand high temperatures, which affects the manufacturing yield of the keyboard.
