Problems solved by technology

[0003] In practical applications, in order to meet the specific requirements of different users for the key pressing feel (such as providing a step-by-step or no-step linear feel, etc.), the keyboard usually has a keycap and an internal elastic member (such as a spring) that allows the user to replace the keycap. or rubber elastic body, etc.) to change the function of pressing the button. However, the above-mentioned process of assembling, positioning or replacing the keycap and the elastic member is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to accidental loss or even damage of components. It brings a lot of inconvenience for users to disassemble and assemble the keycaps

Abstract

The invention provides a key and a keyboard. The key comprises a bottom plate, a key cap structure, a lifting mechanism and an elastic piece. The lifting mechanism is detachably connected to the keycap structure and the bottom plate, so that the keycap structure moves up and down relative to the bottom plate. The elastic piece is connected to the keycap structure so as to be dismounted from the lifting mechanism together with the keycap structure when the keycap structure is separated from the lifting mechanism. The keyboard provided by the invention comprises a plurality of keys and a bottomplate, and the plurality of keys are arranged on the bottom plate. According to the present invention, by directly and fixedly connecting the elastic piece to the key cap structure, the step of sequentially positioning and connecting the elastic piece and the key cap to the lifting mechanism of the key is omitted, so that after the keycap structure fixedly connected with the elastic piece is assembled to the lifting mechanism, a user can finish a key assembling process, the problem that the assembling and positioning process of the keycap and the elastic piece in the prior art is time-consuming and labor-consuming is effectively solved, and the assembling and disassembling convenience of the key is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key and a keyboard, in particular to a key and a keyboard in which an elastic member and a key cap structure can be disassembled from a lifting mechanism. 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 to operate the above-mentioned electronic products and processing equipment. [0003] In practical applications, in order to meet the specific requirements of different users for the key pressing feel (such as providing a step-by-step or no-step linear feel, etc.), the keyboard usually has a keycap and an internal elastic member (such as a spring) that allows the user to replace the keycap. or rubber e...
