Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of touch panels, in particular to a support base of a touch panel, a touch panel and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of touch technology, the surface of the touchpad is a capacitive touch structure. By making a line movement on the touchpad surface with your finger, you can achieve effects such as simulating mouse movement and selection. At the same time, you can click in the lower half of the touchpad surface, which can achieve the same function as a mouse button. Therefore, the touchpad is usually used as a built-in input device in electronic devices such as laptops.

[0003] Most of the touchpads on the market currently have a fixed upper area and a pressable lower area. In order to achieve the click function by pressing, a metal dome switch is usually set in the middle area of ​​the lower side of the touch component. When external force is pressed, the metal dome switch is deformed by force, so that the circuit switch on the touch component is closed to achieve the click function. In order to ensure that the left and right corners of the lower area can still achieve the click function when the touch component is pressed, a metal balance bar is needed to achieve the linkage of the left and right corner areas. When an external force presses one of the corners, the pressing force can be transmitted to the other corner through the metal balance bar, so that the lower side of the touch component can move downward at the same time to apply pressure to the metal dome switch. By setting the metal balance bar, it is ensured that the click linkage effect can be achieved in the lower half of the touchpad.

[0004] In existing touchpads, the metal balance bar usually includes a bar body and a folded edge. The metal balance bar is fixed by clamping the bar body of the metal balance bar inside the water drop groove of the plastic part, and the plastic part is fitted together with the touch component. When subjected to force, the bar body is used as the rotation center, and the shorter folded edge of the metal balance bar is clamped in the card slot of the supporting base plate as the force application point. At present, there are some technical problems with this method of fixing the metal balance bar: first, the card slot on the supporting base plate is used to reinforce the wrapping of the balance bar. When the touchpad is squeezed, hit or dropped by external force, the balance bar or the supporting base plate may be deformed to a certain extent, and the balance bar may fall off from the groove of the supporting base plate; secondly, when the metal balance bar falls off inside the touchpad, the metal balance bar will be stuck between the touch component and the supporting base plate of the touchpad, making it impossible for the touch component and the supporting base plate to move relative to each other, resulting in the failure of the click function of the touchpad, that is, the user will fail to click during use. The touchpad may get stuck and the clicking function may fail. In addition, for laptops with touchpads, most of the batteries of the entire machine are set below the touchpad. When the metal balance bar falls down inside the touchpad, the metal balance bar will be stuck between the support base of the touchpad and the battery of the laptop. On the one hand, it will cause the click function of the touchpad to fail. On the other hand, the cut part of the metal balance bar is relatively sharp, and there is a great risk that it will puncture the protective layer of the battery after contacting the battery, causing a short circuit in the battery, causing battery failure, or causing more serious risks of battery burning.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the fixing effect of the balance bar has become a research topic in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] To illustrate the support base of the touch panel, the touch panel and the electronic device provided in the present application, a detailed description is given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the specification and the textual description of the embodiments.

[0046] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A support base 100 of a touch panel 10 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model is described as follows: Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 110, a connecting member 120, a first clamping member 130, a second clamping member 140 and a clamping fitting member 150. Specifically, the connecting member 120 is arranged on the bottom plate 110, and is used to connect and fix the balance member 300 in the touch panel 10. Specifically, the connecting member 120 includes a long strip-shaped main body 121, and the main body 121 has a first surface 1211 and a second surface 1212 relative to each other. Further, the first clamping member 130 is arranged in the middle of the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, and is used to connect and fix with the middle of the balance member 300. The second clamping member 140 is arranged on both sides of the second surface 1212 of the main body 121. The clamping fitting member 150 is also arranged on both sides of the second surface 1212, and the clamping fitting member 150 is fixed to the bottom plate 110. The second clamping member 140 cooperates with each other to define an installation cavity therebetween, and the two side ends of the balancing member 300 are arranged in the installation cavity (not shown in the figure), that is, the clamping fitting 150 cooperates with the second clamping fitting 140 to achieve connection and fixation with the two side ends of the balancing member 300. It can be seen that in this solution, a connecting member 120 is provided on the bottom plate 110 of the supporting base 100, and the middle and both sides of the balancing member 300 are fixed respectively by the first clamping member 130, the second clamping member 140 and the clamping fitting 150, so as to avoid the balancing member 300 from being misaligned or falling off. Therefore, the touch panel 10 using the supporting base 100 in this solution can make the fixation of the balancing member 300 more reliable, thereby ensuring the overall touch effect of the touch panel 10.

[0047] It should be noted that the snap-fitting component 150 and the second snap-fitting component 140 may both have a certain thickness, and in the extension direction parallel to the main body 121 of the connecting component 120, the accommodating cavity jointly defined by the snap-fitting component 150 and the second snap-fitting component 140 may be a circular through hole. At this time, the connecting line between the snap-fitting component 150 and the second snap-fitting component 140 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the end of the balancing component 300, or, in the extension direction parallel to the main body 121 of the connecting component 120, the snap-fitting component 150 and the second snap-fitting component 140 are staggered with each other, and the connecting line between the snap-fitting component 150 and the second snap-fitting component 140 is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the end of the balancing component 300.

[0048] It should be noted that the thickness of the snap-fitting member 150 and the second snap-fitting member 140 can be the same or different. For example, the thickness of the snap-fitting member 150 and the second snap-fitting member 140 is the same, which makes it easier for the two to better define the accommodating cavity, so as to achieve a mating connection with the balancing member 300.

[0049] It should be noted that the first clip 130, the second clip 140 and the clip fitting 150 can be made of metal materials. For example, the first clip 130, the second clip 140 and the clip fitting 150 are all made of stainless steel. At this time, the first clip 130, the second clip 140 and the clip fitting 150 all have a certain strength and hardness, and have a long service life.

[0050] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first clip 130, the second clip 140 and the clip-fitting component 150 are all arranged on the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, wherein the first clip 130 is arranged in the middle of the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, the second clip 140 is arranged on both sides of the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, and the clip-fitting component 150 is also arranged on both sides of the first surface 1211.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping member 130 includes a plurality of clamping portions 131, and the plurality of clamping portions 131 are evenly distributed on the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, that is, the distances between the plurality of clamping portions 131 are the same. In other words, since the balancing member 300 is in the shape of an elongated strip, the first clamping member 130 can be configured as a plurality of different clamping portions 131. At this time, the plurality of clamping portions 131 are connected to the elongated balancing member 300 for fixation. By configuring a plurality of clamping portions 131, the production cost can be saved while ensuring the connection and fixation effect, and it is also convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0052] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first clamping member 130 is an integral component. In this case, the integral first clamping member 130 is connected and fixed to the middle part of the balancing member 300. In this case, the connection effect between the two is better, and the first clamping member 130 also has a better fixing effect on the balancing member 300.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, multiple clips 131 are clips, and further, the clips have a notch 1311. The balancing member 300 goes into the clips 131 from the notch 1311, thereby achieving connection and fixation with the clips 131. At the same time, multiple clips have the same shape and size. It can be understood that by setting multiple clips 131 to clips of the same shape and size, the connection effects between multiple clips 131 and the balancing member 300 can be the same, and multiple clips can also be manufactured at the same time, thereby improving production efficiency and saving production costs. When a certain clip 131 is damaged, the clip 131 of the same shape and size can be replaced to ensure the consistency of production effects.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the second clamping member 140 includes a semicircular clamping joint 141 . It can be understood that the semicircular clamping joint 141 can be matched with the balancing member 300 at this time.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​fitting 150 includes an arc-shaped fitting portion 151. It can be understood that at this time, the semicircular snap joint 141 and the arc-shaped fitting portion 151 can be matched with each other to define a accommodating cavity, and the balancing member 300 is arranged inside the accommodating cavity. Furthermore, the arc length of the fitting portion 151 is smaller than the circumference of the semicircle of the circle where the arc is located. At this time, the fitting portion 151 and the snap joint 141 can jointly define the installation cavity, and the balancing member 300 can be smoothly connected and fixed into the accommodating cavity.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the mating portion 151 and the snap-fit ​​joint 141 are not in a straight line, that is, at this time, in the extension direction of the main body 121 parallel to the connecting member 120, the snap-fit ​​mating member 150 and the second snap-fit ​​member 140 are offset from each other, and the connecting line between the snap-fit ​​mating member 150 and the second snap-fit ​​member 140 is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the end of the balancing member 300. At this time, the connection and fixation of the end of the balancing member 300 can be better achieved.

[0057] Reference below Figure 6-Figure 8 A touch panel 10 according to the second aspect of the present invention is described. Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the touch panel 10 includes a touch component 200 and a support base 100. The touch component 200 is installed on the support base 100. The support base 100 is used to fix and support the touch component 200. At this time, the touch effect is achieved by pressing the touch component 200 with external force.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, a balance member 300 is disposed between the support base 110 and the touch control assembly 200. The balance member 300 is disposed on the support base 100. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the support base 100 includes a bottom plate 110, a connecting member 120, a first clamping member 130, a second clamping member 140 and a clamping fitting member 150. Specifically, the connecting member 120 is arranged on the bottom plate 110, and is used to connect and fix the balance member 300 in the touch panel 10. Specifically, the connecting member 120 includes a long strip-shaped main body 121, and the main body 121 has a first surface 1211 and a second surface 1212 relative to each other. Further, the first clamping member 130 is arranged in the middle of the first surface 1211 of the main body 121, and is used to connect and fix with the middle of the balance member 300. The second clamping member 140 is arranged on both sides of the second surface 1212 of the main body 121, and the clamping fitting member 150 is also arranged on both sides of the second surface 1212, and The snap-fitting fitting 150 cooperates with the second snap-fitting fitting 140 to define an installation cavity therebetween, and the two side ends of the balancing member 300 are arranged in the installation cavity, that is, the snap-fitting fitting 150 cooperates with the second snap-fitting fitting 140 to achieve connection and fixation with the two side ends of the balancing member 300. It can be seen that a connecting member 120 is provided on the bottom plate 110 of the support base 100, and the middle and both sides of the balancing member 300 are fixed respectively by the first snap-fitting fitting 130, the second snap-fitting fitting 140 and the snap-fitting fitting 150, so as to avoid the balancing member 300 from being misaligned or falling off. Therefore, the touch panel 10 using the support base 100 in this solution can make the fixation of the balancing member 300 more reliable, thereby ensuring the overall touch effect of the touch panel 10.

[0059] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the balancing member 300 includes a rod body 310 and a rod edge 320 , wherein the rod edge 320 is disposed on both sides of the rod body 310 . Specifically, the rod body 310 is fixedly engaged with the first clamping member 130 , and the rod edge 320 is fixedly engaged with the second clamping member 140 and the clamping mating member 150 .

Fig. 9As shown, the electronic device 1 includes a touch panel 10, and the touch panel 10 includes a touch component 200 and a support base 100. The touch component 200 is installed on the support base 100, and the support base 100 is used to fix and support the touch component 200. At this time, the touch effect is achieved by pressing the touch component 200 with an external force.
