Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a key structure, in particular to a detachable screen key structure which is more beautiful in appearance and more convenient to use. Background Art

[0002] The main function of a keyboard is to connect to a computer and input data. Generally speaking, a computer keyboard is one of the peripherals of a computer. It is developed from a typewriter keyboard. Characters can be input through the keyboard and the execution of the computer can also be controlled. Usually, a computer keyboard consists of a group of buttons or "keys" in a rectangular or nearly rectangular shape, with characters printed on the keys. In most cases, pressing a key will type a corresponding symbol, such as a letter, number or punctuation mark.

[0003] However, ordinary keyboards cannot change the characters displayed on each key, so keys with display screens have appeared on the market, allowing users to adjust characters or patterns according to needs.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned buttons with display screens have the following problems and deficiencies when used and need to be improved:

[0005] First, the connection line connecting the button screen is set on the outside of the button, which will affect the overall appearance.

[0006] Second, the keypad screen cannot be removed and replaced by the user.

[0007] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and deficiencies is the direction that the applicant of the present invention and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study and improve.

[0008] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the inventor of the present invention has collected relevant information, conducted multiple evaluations and considerations, and based on years of experience accumulated in this industry, through continuous trials and modifications, he finally designed an invention patent for a structure of detachable screen buttons that is more beautiful in appearance and more convenient to use. Summary of the invention

[0009] The main purpose of the present invention is to place the key signal connection member in the hollow portion to increase the aesthetic feeling during use.

[0010] Another main purpose of the present invention is to utilize the detachable effect of the button docking member and the display docking member to allow the user to replace the display member by himself.

[0011] Based on this, the present invention mainly adopts the following technical means to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.

[0012] A structure of a detachable screen button, which mainly includes: a button body, which is connected to a circuit substrate; a hollow portion, which is penetrated by the button body; a button docking piece, which is arranged on the button body; a button signal connecting piece, which is penetrated by the hollow portion, and the two ends of the button signal connecting piece are respectively connected to the button docking piece and the circuit substrate; a screen carrier, which is arranged on the button body; a display piece, which is arranged on the screen carrier; a display docking piece, which is arranged on the display piece and docked with the button docking piece; and a keycap, which is arranged on the display piece and the screen carrier.

[0013] Furthermore, the button body is arranged on a fixing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the button body has a resisting portion, and the resisting portion resists the limit position on the fixing plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the key cap is provided with at least one light-transmitting portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the button body has a mounting portion and a pressing portion movably disposed on the mounting portion.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressing bearing member for bearing the key docking member is disposed on the pressing portion.

[0018] Furthermore, the screen carrier has a carrier docking portion, and the pressing portion has a pressing docking portion docking with the carrier docking portion.

[0019] Furthermore, the key cap is provided with a key cap connecting portion for connecting to the screen carrier.

[0020] Furthermore, the screen supporting component is provided with a supporting connection portion for connecting to the key cap connection portion.

[0021] With the above structure, the user can install the key body on a circuit substrate, and the two ends of the key signal connector will be connected to the circuit substrate and the key docking member respectively. When it is needed, the key cap can be pressed to push the screen carrier to press the key body, thereby allowing the key body to transmit the pressing signal to the circuit substrate, and at the same time, the signal will be transmitted to the display member via the key signal connector, the key docking member, and the display docking member for display, thereby using it as a key with a display effect. Moreover, since the key signal connector for transmitting the signal is arranged in the hollow part of the key body, it will not be exposed to the outside, which can increase the beauty of the appearance.

[0022] Since the display component is connected to the button docking component through the display docking component, when the display component is damaged or the user wants to replace it with a different display component, the display component can be directly unplugged and replaced with a new one or another display component and connected to the button docking component through the display docking component, and then it can be used directly. This allows the user to perform the replacement by themselves to improve convenience in use.

[0023] By using the above technology, the problems of the conventional connection wires of display screen buttons being exposed and unable to be replaced by themselves can be overcome, thereby achieving the practicality and advancement of the above advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it is a three-dimensional view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and an exploded view from another angle. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the present invention includes:

[0047] A key body 1. The key body 1 of this embodiment is a mechanical key as an example. Therefore, the key body 1 has a mounting portion 11 and a pressing portion 12 movably disposed on the mounting portion 11. The key body 1 is connected to a circuit substrate 6 and is disposed on a fixing plate 7.

[0048] An abutment portion 13 formed on the button body 1, the abutment portion 13 assists the button body 1 in limiting position and abutting against the fixing plate 7;

[0049] A hollow portion 14 is formed on the button body 1, and the hollow portion 14 penetrates the pressing portion 12 and the mounting portion 11 at the same time;

[0050] A pressing support 15 disposed on the pressing portion 12. The pressing support 15 of this embodiment is a support plate placed on the pressing portion 12;

[0051] A key docking member 2 disposed on the key body 1. The key docking member 2 of this embodiment is a pluggable docking socket placed on the pressing bearing member 15;

[0052] A key signal connection member 21 is inserted into the hollow portion 14. In this embodiment, the key signal connection member 21 is a flexible circuit board with two ends respectively connected to the circuit substrate 6 and the key docking member 2;

[0053] A screen carrier 3 disposed on the button body 1;

[0054] A bearing docking portion 31 disposed on the screen bearing member 3;

[0055] A pressing docking portion 121 provided on the pressing portion 12 and docking with the carrying docking portion 31. In this embodiment, the carrying docking portion 31 is a convex portion formed on the screen carrier 3, and the pressing docking portion 121 is a concave portion docking with the carrying docking portion 31;

[0056] a display element 4 disposed on the screen carrier 3. The display element 4 of this embodiment is a display screen connected to a flexible printed circuit board as an example;

[0057] a display docking member 41 disposed on the display member 4. The display docking member 41 of this embodiment is a docking plug that can be docked with the button docking member 2; and

[0058] A key cap 5 is disposed on the display element 4 and the screen carrier 3 , and a light-transmitting portion 53 is disposed on the key cap 5 . In this embodiment, the key cap 5 body is transparent to represent the light-transmitting portion 53 , but this is not limited thereto.

[0059] Through the above description, the structure of the present technology can be understood, and according to the corresponding coordination of this structure, the appearance can be made more aesthetically pleasing, and it has the advantage of allowing users to replace the display element 4 by themselves. The detailed explanation will be described below.

[0060] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it is a three-dimensional diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention to a schematic diagram of disassembly (II). When the above components are assembled, they can be matched first. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the screen carrier 3 can be inserted into the pressing docking portion 121 through the carrier docking portion 31, so that the screen carrier 3 is placed on the pressing portion 12 of the key body 1, and the display docking member 41 and the key docking member 2 are docked with each other. Since the key docking member 2 is positioned on the pressing carrier 15, the user can intuitively align the key docking member 2 during installation, which can increase the convenience of installation. After that, the key cap 5 can be placed on the display member 4 and the screen carrier 3 and then it can be used.

[0061] When the user presses the keycap 5, the display screen carrier 3 and the pressing portion 12 are pushed. When the key body 1 is pressed, a signal is transmitted to the circuit substrate 6 (because the mounting portion 11 is limited on the fixing plate 7 by the abutment portion 13, it can also prevent the pressing force from being directly transmitted to the circuit substrate 6 and causing damage to the circuit substrate 6). The circuit substrate 6 transmits the signal to the display component 4 through the key signal connector 21, the key docking component 2, and the display docking component 41 to display the relevant content and display it through the light-transmitting portion 53. During the overall pressing action, the key signal connector 21 is located in the hollow portion 14 and is not exposed to the outside, thereby increasing the aesthetic effect in use, and the user will not touch the key signal connector 21, thereby reducing the chance of damage.

[0062] When the display component 4 is damaged or the user wants to replace it, the key cap 5 can be removed first, and then the screen carrier 3 can be pulled up to drive the display component 4 to move and separate the key docking component 2 from the display docking component 41. The pluggable effect of the key docking component 2 and the display docking component 41 allows the user to replace the display component 4 as needed, which increases the convenience of use. When the display component 4 is damaged, there is no need to discard the entire display component 4, and it can be replaced separately, so it can save costs.

[0063] Please also refer to Figures 8 to 10 As shown, it is a three-dimensional diagram and a disassembly schematic diagram of another preferred embodiment of the present invention. It can be clearly seen from the figure that this embodiment is similar to the above embodiment, only the light-transmitting portion 53a of this embodiment is set as a light-transmitting acrylic plate on the keycap 5a, thereby indicating that the type of the light-transmitting portion 53a is not limited.

[0064] In addition, the keycap 5a of the present embodiment is provided with at least one keycap connecting portion 54a, and the screen carrier 3a is provided with at least one supporting connecting portion 32a corresponding to the keycap connecting portion 54a, thereby the keycap 5a can be directly connected to the screen carrier 3a. In this way, when the user needs to replace it, the screen carrier 3a can be driven to move by directly pulling out the keycap 5a, so that the key docking member 2a and the display docking member 41a can be separated from each other, which can increase the efficiency of pulling out and replacing.

[0065] However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings should be included in the patent scope of the present invention and are hereby stated.

[0066] Therefore, the structure of the detachable screen button of the present invention can improve the conventional technology by:

[0067] First, the key signal connection member 21 is placed in the hollow portion 14 of the key body 1 to improve the aesthetic appearance and prevent the key signal connection member 21 from being touched to reduce the probability of damage.

[0068] Secondly, by making the button docking member 2 and the display docking member 41 pluggable, the user can replace the display member 4 at will, thereby improving the convenience of use and saving costs.

[0069] In summary, the structure of the detachable screen button of the present invention can truly achieve its effect and purpose when used, so the present invention is truly an invention with excellent practicality.
