Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of keyboard switches, and in particular to a rebound and shock-absorbing button, a keyboard switch and a keyboard. Background Art

[0002] Traditional keyboard switches have some design deficiencies, especially in terms of user experience. One notable problem is that they usually achieve keystrokes by colliding with the shell through the side ridges, which often produces loud noises and strong vibrations.

[0003] During long-term use, this design may cause users to feel hand fatigue or discomfort, because each key press is accompanied by obvious vibration and impact. In addition, the loud noise may also cause interference in a quiet office environment and affect the work efficiency of other colleagues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a rebound and shock-absorbing button. After the user presses the button, the button rebounds and the impact piece collides with the shell. The impact piece generates elastic deformation after contact with the shell. The elastic deformation can provide soft tactile feedback, and effectively absorb the impact force during operation, reduce the impact sound, and extend the service life of the button.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A rebound and shock-absorbing button comprises a button body, side ridges arranged on the side of the button body, and an impact piece located above the side ridges and with a gap between the side ridges, wherein the impact piece is in the shape of a thin sheet.

[0007] Unlike traditional buttons that collide with the shell through the side ridges, the button of the present application has a collision piece arranged above the side ridges, and the collision piece and the shell collide to achieve the function of rebound shock absorption to reduce the sound. The collision piece is elastic due to its thin sheet shape, and is located above the side ridges, and there is a gap between the side ridges. After the user presses the button, when the button rebounds, the collision piece collides with the shell, and the collision piece generates elastic deformation after contacting the shell. The elastic deformation can provide soft tactile feedback, and also effectively absorb the impact force during the operation process, reduce the impact sound, and extend the service life of the button.

[0008] Compared with the traditional button design, the rebound and shock-absorbing button of this case has significant advantages. Traditional buttons usually realize the rebound and shock-absorbing function by colliding the side ridges with the shell, but this design is prone to produce a lot of noise and has a large impact on the button body, which may cause the button to wear out prematurely. The rebound and shock-absorbing button of the present invention changes the way the impact is transmitted by setting an impact piece above the side ridges. When the user presses the button and the button rebounds, the impact piece collides with the shell instead of directly colliding with the shell through the side ridges. In this way, the impact energy is effectively dispersed and absorbed, reducing the generation of noise. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the impact piece also provides soft tactile feedback, enhancing the user's operating experience. In addition, the design of the impact piece also reduces the direct impact on the button body, thereby extending the service life of the button.

[0009] Preferably, a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the impact member, and the protrusion is in a strip shape.

[0010] The upper surface of the impact piece is provided with a protrusion, and when the protrusion collides with the housing, the impact energy is effectively dispersed and absorbed, reducing the noise. At the same time, the setting of the protrusion makes it easier for the impact piece to elastically deform after the protrusion collides with the housing, thereby providing soft tactile feedback and enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0011] Preferably, there are two side ridges, which are located on the left and right sides of the button body, and there are two impact members, which are respectively located above the two side ridges.

[0012] The design of the side ribs also plays an important role. Usually, the button body is equipped with two side ribs, which are located on the left and right sides of the button. The side ribs not only provide additional structural strength, making the button more sturdy and durable, but also improve the smoothness of the button body sliding up and down. When the user presses the button, the side ribs can guide the direction of the button body sliding up and down, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the button body sliding up and down. There are also two impact pieces, located above the two side ribs. There is a gap between each impact piece and the corresponding side rib. This design allows the impact piece to undergo elastic deformation when impacted. The elastic deformation of the impact piece not only provides obvious tactile feedback, allowing the user to sense the completion of the button operation, but also plays a shock-absorbing role, reducing the impact force generated by the operation, thereby extending the service life of the button.

[0013] Preferably, the gap is smaller than the thickness of the impact member.

[0014] The setting of the gap is a key detail, which has a significant impact on the resilience and durability of the button. Preferably, the gap is smaller than the thickness of the impact piece. This design ensures that when the user presses the button, the impact piece can move downward sufficiently and produce sufficient elastic deformation. When the pressure is released, the impact piece quickly returns to its original shape, achieving a rapid rebound effect. The existence of the gap also acts as a buffer, reducing the wear and tear on the button body caused by direct impact. This design not only improves the resilience of the button, but also extends its service life.

[0015] Preferably, the protrusion is located on the upper surface of the end of the impact member.

[0016] The protrusion is located at the end of the impact piece, so that the impact piece is more likely to undergo elastic deformation after the protrusion collides with the shell, thereby reducing the impact sound and providing soft tactile feedback to enhance the user's operating experience.

[0017] Preferably, the impact member is integrally formed and connected to the button body.

[0018] The impact piece is integrally connected to the button body, which simplifies the production process and reduces production costs. At the same time, the one-piece structure improves the overall strength and stability of the button and reduces the risk of loosening or breaking of components due to vibration or impact. This design also facilitates subsequent maintenance and cleaning work, as users can easily remove and replace damaged parts.

[0019] Preferably, the end of the impact member extends to the outside of the side ridge.

[0020] The end of the impact piece is further away than the outer side of the side ridge, which further makes it easier for the impact piece to undergo elastic deformation after the protrusion collides with the shell, thereby reducing the impact sound and providing soft tactile feedback to enhance the user's operating experience.

[0021] A keyboard switch comprises the above-mentioned rebound and shock-absorbing button. The button of the keyboard switch can realize rebound and shock-absorbing and reduce the impact sound.

[0022] A keyboard comprises the keyboard switch as described above. The keyboard has low impact sound and a rebound feel.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The button with rebound and shock absorption of the utility model is different from the traditional button, which collides with the shell through the side ridges. The button of the present application is provided with a collision piece above the side ridges, and the collision of the collision piece with the shell realizes the function of rebound and shock absorption to reduce the sound. The collision piece is elastic due to its thin sheet shape, and is located above the side ridges, and there is a gap between the side ridges. After the user presses the button, the collision piece collides with the shell when the button rebounds, and the collision piece generates elastic deformation after contacting the shell. The elastic deformation can provide soft tactile feedback, and also effectively absorb the impact force during the operation process, reduce the impact sound, and extend the service life of the button.

[0025] Compared with the traditional button design, the rebound and shock-absorbing button of this case has significant advantages. Traditional buttons usually realize the rebound and shock-absorbing function by colliding the side ridges with the shell, but this design is prone to produce a lot of noise and has a large impact on the button body, which may cause the button to wear out prematurely. The rebound and shock-absorbing button of the present invention changes the way the impact is transmitted by setting an impact piece above the side ridges. When the user presses the button and the button rebounds, the impact piece collides with the shell instead of directly colliding with the shell through the side ridges. In this way, the impact energy is effectively dispersed and absorbed, reducing the generation of noise. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the impact piece also provides soft tactile feedback, enhancing the user's operating experience. In addition, the design of the impact piece also reduces the direct impact on the button body, thereby extending the service life of the button. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0035] The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0036] This embodiment provides a keyboard switch, including a housing 100, a spring 200, a terminal, a contact sheet, and a rebound and shock-absorbing button 300. The button 300 of the keyboard switch can achieve rebound and shock absorption and reduce impact sound.

[0037] The rebound and shock-absorbing button 300 comprises a button body 310, a side ridge 311 arranged on the side of the button body 310, and an impact member 320 located above the side ridge 311 and having a gap with the side ridge 311. The impact member 320 is in the shape of a thin sheet.

[0038] Unlike the traditional button 300, which collides with the housing 100 through the side ribs 311, the button 300 of the present application is provided with a collision piece 320 above the side ribs 311. The collision piece 320 collides with the housing 100 to achieve the function of rebound shock absorption to reduce the sound. The collision piece 320 is elastic due to its thin sheet shape, and is located above the side ribs 311, and there is a gap between the side ribs 311. After the user presses the button 300, when the button 300 rebounds, the collision piece 320 collides with the housing 100, and the collision piece 320 generates elastic deformation after contacting the housing 100. The elastic deformation can provide soft tactile feedback, and also effectively absorb the impact force during the operation, reduce the impact sound, and extend the service life of the button 300.

[0039] Compared with the traditional button 300 design, the rebound and shock-absorbing button 300 of this case has significant advantages. The traditional button 300 usually realizes the rebound and shock-absorbing function by colliding the side ribs 311 with the shell 100, but this design is prone to generate large noise and has a large impact on the button body 310, which may cause the button 300 to wear out prematurely. The rebound and shock-absorbing button 300 of the present invention changes the transmission mode of the impact by arranging the impact member 320 above the side ribs 311. When the user presses the button 300 and the button 300 rebounds, the impact member 320 collides with the shell 100 instead of directly colliding with the shell 100 through the side ribs 311. In this way, the impact energy is effectively dispersed and absorbed, reducing the generation of noise. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the impact member 320 also provides soft tactile feedback, enhancing the user's operating experience. In addition, the design of the impact member 320 also reduces the direct impact on the button body 310, thereby extending the service life of the button 300.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are two side ribs 311 , which are located at the left and right sides of the button body 310 . There are also two impact members 320 , which are located above the two side ribs 311 , respectively.

[0041] The design of the side ribs 311 also plays an important role. Usually, the button body 310 is equipped with two side ribs 311, which are located on the left and right sides of the button 300. The side ribs 311 not only provide additional structural strength, making the button 300 more durable, but also improve the smoothness of the button body 310 sliding up and down. When the user presses the button 300, the side ribs 311 can guide the direction in which the button body 310 slides up and down, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the button body 310 sliding up and down. There are also two impact members 320, which are located above the two side ribs 311. There is a gap between each impact member 320 and the corresponding side rib 311. This design allows the impact member 320 to undergo elastic deformation when impacted. The elastic deformation of the impact member 320 not only provides obvious tactile feedback, allowing the user to sense the completion of the button 300 operation, but also plays a shock-absorbing role, reducing the impact force generated by the operation, thereby extending the service life of the button 300.

[0042] In this embodiment, the gap is smaller than the thickness of the impact member 320 .

[0043] The setting of the gap is a key detail, which has a significant impact on the resilience and durability of the button 300. Preferably, the gap is smaller than the thickness of the impact member 320. This design ensures that when the user presses the button 300, the impact member 320 can fully move downward and produce sufficient elastic deformation. When the pressure is released, the impact member 320 quickly returns to its original state, achieving a rapid rebound effect. The existence of the gap also acts as a buffer, reducing the wear and tear on the button body 310 caused by direct impact. This design not only improves the resilience of the button 300, but also extends its service life.

[0044] In this embodiment, the impact member 320 is integrally formed and connected with the button body 310 .

[0045] The impact member 320 is integrally formed and connected to the button body 310. This design simplifies the production process and reduces production costs. At the same time, the integrally formed structure improves the overall strength and stability of the button 300 and reduces the risk of loosening or breaking of components due to vibration or impact. This design also facilitates subsequent maintenance and cleaning work because users can easily disassemble and replace damaged components.

[0046] In this embodiment, the end of the impact member 320 extends to the outside of the side rib 311 .

[0047] The end of the impact member 320 is further away from the outer side of the side rib 311, which further makes it easier for the impact member 320 to elastically deform after colliding with the housing 100, thereby reducing the impact sound and providing soft tactile feedback to enhance the user's operating experience. Example 2

[0049] The rebound and shock-absorbing button 300 comprises a button body 310, a side ridge 311 arranged on the side of the button body 310, and an impact member 320 located above the side ridge 311 and having a gap with the side ridge 311. The impact member 320 is in the shape of a thin sheet.

[0050] Unlike the traditional button 300, which collides with the housing 100 through the side ribs 311, the button 300 of the present application is provided with a collision piece 320 above the side ribs 311.

The collision piece 320 is elastic due to its thin sheet shape, and is located above the side ribs 311, and there is a gap between the side ribs 311. After the user presses the button 300, when the button 300 rebounds, the collision piece 320 collides with the housing 100, and the collision piece 320 generates elastic deformation after contacting the housing 100. The elastic deformation can provide soft tactile feedback, and also effectively absorb the impact force during the operation, reduce the impact sound, and extend the service life of the button 300.

[0051] Compared with the traditional button 300 design, the rebound and shock-absorbing button 300 of this case has significant advantages.

[0052] In this embodiment, a protrusion 321 is disposed on the upper surface of the impact member 320 , and the protrusion 321 is in a strip shape.

[0053] The upper surface of the impact member 320 is provided with a protrusion 321. When the protrusion 321 impacts the housing 100, the impact energy is effectively dispersed and absorbed, thereby reducing the noise. At the same time, the provision of the protrusion 321 makes it easier for the impact member 320 to elastically deform after the protrusion 321 impacts the housing 100, thereby providing soft tactile feedback and enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0054] In this embodiment, there are two side ribs 311 , which are located at the left and right sides of the button body 310 . There are also two impact members 320 , which are located above the two side ribs 311 , respectively.
