Embodiment Construction

[0051] In order to have a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions are provided in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0052] see figure 1 and figure 2 , figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the key structure according to the first embodiment; figure 2 for figure 1A partial exploded view of the middle key structure. The key structure 1 according to the first embodiment includes a base 12 , a keycap 14 , a first lifting mechanism 16 , a second lifting mechanism 18 , a switch 20 and an elastic reset member 22 . The keycap 14 is disposed on the base 12 and has four sides to form a long and narrow rectangle with two long sides, a long side 140a, and two short sides, a short side 140b. The first lifting mechanism 16 and the second lifting mechanism 18 are all connected between the keycap 14 and the base 12, so that the keycap 14 can move vertically (or move up and down) relative to...

Abstract

The invention discloses a keycap and a key structure, and the keycap is a combined structure and comprises a structural plate and a combination part. The combination part and the structural plate are mutually fixed and embedded through the combination structure of the structural plate. The combination structure can comprise at least one of a convex part, a through hole, a side hole, a combination hole, a cantilever plate and a convex bridge part. The combination part comprises at least one hook arm used for forming a support connecting part. The key structure comprises a base, a first key support, a second key support and a key cap. The key cap is arranged on the base. The first key support and the second key support are connected between the key cap and the base so that the key cap can vertically move relative to the base through the first key support and the second key support. Wherein the first key bracket is connected with the bracket connecting part. The key cap is of a combined structure, and the limitation of a key cap of a single structure in the prior art on the structural design can be solved or at least improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key structure, in particular to a key structure and a key cap. Background technique [0002] The key structure used in general notebook computers often uses scissor foot brackets to provide keycap support and lifting mechanism. The keycap is usually a single structure, such as plastic injection molding, and a connecting portion for connecting the bracket is also formed on it. In order to maintain sufficient rigidity to withstand the pressure of the user and maintain the stability of the connection with the bracket via the connecting portion, the keycap needs to have a considerable thickness in the vertical direction. On the one hand, this structural requirement makes it difficult to reduce the thickness of the keycap; on the other hand, the increase in the rigidity of the keycap is achieved by increasing the thickness in principle. In the thin design of the button structure, in principle, the size of each component of the b...
