Forming method for key caps

Abstract

The invention provides a forming method for key caps. The method includes fixing a balance rod on a first male mold; forming a key cap through a second male mold, a female mold and an injection molding technology; separating the second male mold and the female mold, and fixing the key cap on the female mold; overlapping the first male mold and the female mold so as to combine the balance rod and the key cap; and separating the first male mold and the female mold, and making the balance rod separate from the first male mold. Thus, the balance rod and the key cap can be assembled without utilizing manpower.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keyboard, in particular to a method for forming keycaps of the keyboard. Background technique [0002] Common computer peripheral input devices include a mouse, a keyboard, and a trackball. The keyboard can directly input text and symbols to the computer, so it is highly valued by users and input device manufacturers. The subject of the present invention is the keyboard. [0003] see figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the appearance structure of a known keyboard. The surface of the known keyboard 1 has a plurality of keys 10, 10', the key 10 is classified as a general-sized key, and the key 10' is classified as a longer-sized key. Wherein, the length of the key 10 is slightly greater than its width, and the length L1 of the key 10' is much greater than its width W1. A plurality of said keys 10, 10' are for the user to press with fingers to generate a corresponding signal to the computer, so that the computer execu...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] Although the first balance bar 104 and the second balance bar 105 have the above advantages, they also increase the manufacturing cost of the keyboard 1 because the first balance bar 104 and the second balance bar 105 must be assembled on the keycap 101.

Generally speaking, the assembly work of the first balance bar 104, the second balance bar 105 and the key cap 101 is manually performed by manpower, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the hook 106 of the key cap 101 is likely to be broken due to assembly errors.
