Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of keyboard switches, and in particular to a high volume button and a keyboard switch. Background Art

[0002] In today's fiercely competitive market environment, keyboards are core components of computer peripherals, and their performance and user experience are directly related to the overall competitiveness of the product. However, in the current market research and development trends, we have observed that manufacturers have shown a clear differentiated focus on the innovation of keyboard switch technology. Most manufacturers have focused their research and development resources and energy on reducing the noise generated by keyboard switch operations. This strategy is undoubtedly based on a precise grasp of market demand. In quiet places such as office environments and libraries, users are more sensitive to the sound of keyboard tapping, so low-noise keyboard switches are more likely to be favored by these user groups.

[0003] Nevertheless, we must also recognize that not all users prefer a very low-noise keyboard experience. Some users, especially game enthusiasts and typists, may prefer keyboard switches with a certain impact feel, because this tactile feel can provide better feedback and enhance the immersion and accuracy of the operation. However, the current product choices for this demand on the market are relatively limited, which has prompted manufacturers to start thinking about how to improve the impact sound of keyboard switches while maintaining the overall performance of the keyboard to meet the needs of a wider range of users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a large volume button, which can produce a louder impact sound when the button is pressed, and the impact sound is more pleasant to the ear, thereby enhancing the user's sensory experience.

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

[0006] A large volume button comprises a large volume button body and an impact structure arranged on the large volume button body. The impact structure is arranged in an impact area of ​​the large volume button body and comprises an impact protrusion and an echo concave cavity.

[0007] Its core feature is the integration of the impact structure to enhance the auditory experience of user operation. A special impact area is provided inside the button body, in which the impact protrusion and the echo recess cavity are cleverly integrated. The impact protrusion is a protruding structure. When the user presses the button, the impact protrusion collides with the shell to make a sound. The echo recess cavity is a specially designed cavity located below the impact protrusion. The impact protrusion pushes air into this cavity to produce a sound feedback. This sound feedback is similar to the "click" sound of traditional mechanical buttons, providing users with instant operation confirmation and enhancing the sensory experience of interaction. The advantage of this design is that through auditory feedback, users can more intuitively perceive the effect of button operation. The design of the impact protrusion and the echo recess cavity increases the operability of the button, allowing users to obtain obvious sound feedback when pressing the button, thereby enhancing the pleasure of operation. Due to its simple structure and the absence of complex mechanical moving parts, this large volume button has high durability and can withstand long-term frequent use.

[0008] Preferably, there are multiple impact protrusions, the multiple impact protrusions are evenly distributed, and the echo recess cavity is arranged between adjacent impact protrusions.

[0009] There are multiple bumps, and these bumps are evenly distributed across the entire button surface. The echo recesses are also carefully designed and located between adjacent bumps. This layout not only optimizes the sound propagation path, but also ensures that each press produces consistent and clear auditory feedback. The presence of the echo recess makes the sound produced by the button when it is pressed more pleasant and louder, enhancing the user's sensory experience.

[0010] Preferably, the impact area includes the bottom of the column located at the bottom of the large volume button, or the bottom of the side column located at the side of the large volume button, or the top of the side column located at the side of the large volume button.

[0011] The extension of the impact area to the bottom and sides of the large volume button further enhances the functionality and aesthetics of the button. The impact area at the bottom of the bottom column and the bottom of the side column provides users with more operating points, so that no matter where the impact area is set, the volume of the impact can be increased, making the impact sound more pleasant.

[0012] Preferably, the impact protrusion is in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, and a plurality of impact protrusions are distributed in a rectangular array, and the gaps between adjacent impact protrusions form an echo concave cavity.

[0013] In the further optimized design of the large volume button, the shape of the impact protrusion is carefully selected as a quadrangular pyramid. The gaps between adjacent impact protrusions form echoing concave cavities, which further enhance the auditory feedback of the button. When the user presses the button, the air moves rapidly in these concave cavities, producing a clear sound effect. This sound effect not only provides users with instant operation confirmation, but also increases the fun of button operation.

[0014] A keyboard switch comprises the large volume button as described above, and also comprises a housing, a spring, a terminal and a contact sheet. The large volume button can collide with the housing to produce a sound, and the housing comprises a base and an upper cover.

[0015] The keyboard switch made with a large volume button can produce a louder impact sound when the button is pressed, and the impact sound is more pleasant, thereby enhancing the user's sensory experience.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The core feature of the large volume button of the utility model is that it integrates an impact structure to enhance the auditory experience of the user's operation. A special impact area is provided inside the button body, in which two parts, an impact protrusion and an echo recessed cavity, are cleverly integrated. The impact protrusion is a protruding structure. When the user presses the button, the impact protrusion collides with the shell to make a sound. The echo recessed cavity is a specially designed cavity located below the impact protrusion. The impact protrusion pushes air into the cavity to produce a sound feedback. This sound feedback is similar to the "click" sound of a traditional mechanical button, providing the user with instant operation confirmation and enhancing the sensory experience of interaction. The advantage of this design is that through auditory feedback, the user can more intuitively perceive the effect of the button operation. The design of the impact protrusion and the echo recessed cavity increases the operability of the button, so that the user can obtain obvious sound feedback when pressing the button, thereby enhancing the pleasure of operation. Due to the simple structure and the absence of complex mechanical moving parts, this large volume button has high durability and can withstand long-term frequent use.
