AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing laptop touchpads have limited pressable area and unstable pressability, especially around the edges of the structure where they are prone to being unpressable or unresponsive.
Method used
It adopts a combination structure of touch panel module, linkage plate, support rod and pressing component. Through the pivoting mechanism of linkage plate and support rod, the pressing of the fully triggerable switch element can be realized. The linkage mechanism ensures uniform transmission of pressing force.
Benefits of technology
The touchpad's pressable range has been expanded, and uniform pressing pressure has been ensured, improving pressing sensitivity and stability, and enabling the function of a globally triggerable switching element.

Abstract
A touchpad for a laptop computer includes a touchpad module, a pair of linkage plates, a pair of support rods, and a pressing member. The touchpad module is movably disposed within a housing and has a switching element. A first side edge of each linkage plate pivotally contacts the touchpad module. Support rods are disposed within the housing and correspond to the linkage plates, with the linkage plates pivotally abutting against the support rods. The pressing member is pivotally connected to the second side edge of each linkage plate and positioned between the linkage plates, forming a linkage mechanism between the linkage plates and the pressing member, with the first and second side edges facing each other across the support rods. When the touchpad module is pressed, the touchpad module drives each linkage plate to pivot relative to the support rods, causing the second side edge of the linkage plate to move closer to the switching element until the pressing member triggers the switching element.
