Embodiment Construction

[0024] See Figure 1 to Figure 5 , The first embodiment of the foldable keyboard of the present invention includes: a soft key cap 11, an elastic line key core 12, a support frame 13, and a flexible circuit layer 14. In an application scenario, the soft keycap 11 is made of PET plastic material, the elastic wire key core 12 is made of silicone wire, and the flexible circuit layer 14 is made of inert ITO film.

[0025] The support frame 13 includes at least two opposing side arms 131, and a pressing space 15 is defined between the at least two opposing side arms 131. The support frame 13 is made of a hard material, and specifically may be hard metal materials, alloys, plastics, etc. At least one of.

[0026] The soft keycap 11 is at least partially fixed on at least two opposite side arms 131 of the support frame 13. In an application scenario, the soft keycap 11 is fixed on the opposite side arms 131 of the support frame 13 by heat fusion. Of course, in other application scenario...

Abstract

The invention discloses a foldable keyboard and electronic equipment. The foldable keyboard comprises a soft keycap, elastic thread key cores, a supporting frame and a flexible circuit layer, wherein the supporting frame comprises at least two opposite side arms, and a pressing space is defined between the at least two opposite side arms; at least parts of the soft keycap are fixed on the at least two opposite side arms of the supporting frame; each key of the keyboard corresponds to at least two elastic thread key cores, two ends of the at least two elastic thread key cores are independently fixed on the two opposite side arms and are positioned between the soft keycap and the two opposite side arms, and elastic force which enables the soft keycap to return is provided when at least one part of the soft keycap enters the pressing space; and the flexible circuit layer is in contact with the soft keycap when at least one part of the soft keycap enters the pressing space. Through the soft keycap, the elastic thread key cores and the flexible circuit layer, the vertical working distance of the key of the keyboard can be shortened while a purpose that the keyboard is flexibly foldable is realized, and therefore, the keyboard is light, thin and convenient in carrying.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a foldable keyboard and an electronic device. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of technology, electronic devices such as computers have become inseparable from people's work and life. The physical keyboard input method has become the mainstream interface for the operation and control of various electronic devices such as computers because of its high accuracy in operation. With the gradual improvement of product performance, people pay more and more attention to the simplicity and portability of the computer itself. One of its components, the keyboard, is also developing in the direction of small size and lightness. [0003] The standard keyboards currently on the market are large and heavy, making them inconvenient to carry. The only small number of foldable keyboards has the characteristics of heavy parts and complex folding structure. In a word, the current common keyboards cannot meet people's needs for winding...
