Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical keyboards, and in particular to a leaf spring buffer structure for optimizing the typing experience of a mechanical keyboard. Background Art

[0002] There are generally two types of keyboards on the market: mechanical keyboards and membrane keyboards. The difference between the two is:

[0003] Each key on a mechanical keyboard is an independent mechanical switch. The switch is controlled by a metal spring inside. The trigger signal is transmitted through the mechanical shaft to close the circuit. When it is tapped, there is a crisp metallic knocking sound and a strong tactile feeling.

[0004] The bottom of the membrane keyboard is a raised silicone membrane with a conductive element on the back. When you type, the keycap presses the membrane to close the circuit and send a signal. There is no metallic sound and the touch is weak.

[0005] Mechanical keyboards have a metallic sound when they are typed, and have a noticeable sense of pause and rebound when they are typed, giving them a more textured feel. Many consumers, such as video game players, prefer mechanical keyboards.

[0006] Taking into account the combined characteristics of the inner shell and outer frame of the mechanical keyboard, the original screw locking structure has been improved, and the fixed screws have been replaced with a non-fixed combination. Beryllium copper bars and silicone are used as components for mechanical connection. When typing, it can fully absorb the vibration feedback caused by the collision between the shaft and the keycap, making the user's typing experience more comfortable and without feeling fatigue. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract and title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of the invention, and such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0008] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a leaf spring buffer structure that optimizes the typing experience of a mechanical keyboard. One end of the beryllium copper leaf spring is threadedly connected to the keyboard inner shell by means of a positioning bolt and a threaded hole. The other end of the beryllium copper leaf spring is connected to the keyboard inner shell through a silicone support sleeve as a connecting middle end. The silicone support sleeve is placed in the positioning hole as a buffer support seat, and cooperates with the beryllium copper leaf spring to form a buffer component, thereby reducing the resonance feedback and noise caused by the impact of typing.

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] The mechanical keyboard typing experience is optimized with a leaf spring buffer structure, which includes:

[0011] The beryllium copper leaf spring is used as a connection to the substrate. Positioning holes and threaded holes are respectively opened on the left and right ends of the beryllium copper leaf spring.

[0012] The silicone support sleeve is placed in the positioning hole and serves as a buffer support seat. It cooperates with the beryllium copper leaf spring to form a buffer component. It is connected to the keyboard liner to reduce the resonance feedback and noise caused by the impact of typing.
