Keycap structure and key

Abstract

The invention discloses a keycap structure and a key. The keycap structure is movably connected to a first support member and a second support member of the key, wherein the first support member and the second support member are movably connected to a bottom plate of the key to drive the keycap structure to move up and down relative to the bottom plate; the end part of the first support member isconnected with the keycap structure and has a shaft structure; the keycap structure comprises a keycap main body, a sliding chute structure and a limiting structure; the bottom surface of the keycap main body is formed by extending along an X axis and a Y axis; the X axis, the Y axis and a Z axis are vertical to one another; the sliding chute structure is formed by protruding along the Z axis fromthe bottom surface and a first sliding chute is formed at the position corresponding to a first shaft end of the shaft structure along the X axis to permit the first shaft end to be movably insertedinto the first sliding chute; and the limiting structure is formed by protruding along the Z axis from the bottom surface to prevent the shaft structure from displacing along the Y axis to limit the first shaft end into the first sliding chute. According to the keycap structure and the key, the accidental removal condition that the shaft structure of the first support member accidentally drops from the sliding chute of the keycap structure during bending deformation of the keycap structure can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keycap structure and a key, in particular to a keycap structure and a key that use a limiting structure to block the displacement of a shaft structure to increase the disassembly and pulling force between the keycap structure and a support. 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 key structures as input devices to operate the above-mentioned electronic products and processing equipment. [0003] see figure 1 , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the key 1 in the prior art. Such as figure 1 As shown, the button 1 includes a bottom plate 10, a keycap 12, a supporting device 14 and an elastic member 16. The supporting d...

Problems solved by technology

However, the above method tends to cause excessive assembly resistance between the first sliding shaft 23 and the first chute 11 during the assembly of the keycap 12 and the support device 14, which makes it difficult to install the keycap 12 and the support device 14 easily. The problem of being damaged during the assembly process

Although the above-mentioned problem can be solved by properly reducing the depth of the first sliding groove 11, it will reduce the pull-out force between the keycap 12 and the support device 14 and cause the keycap 12 to be easily removed from the support. The problem of falling off on the device 14
