Reinforced rubber key

Abstract

The utility model discloses a reinforced rubber key, and relates to the technical field of rubber key structures. According to the technical scheme, the key comprises keys, a reinforcing metal assembly, a rubber plate and mounting holes. The key is arranged between the shell and the circuit board, and the key, the rubber plate and the reinforcing metal assembly are integrated by embedding the reinforcing metal assembly into the mounting hole in the back surface of the rubber plate, so that the key is not easy to be clamped into the shell when a user presses the key, the size of the whole rubber key is reduced, and the service life of the key is prolonged. The method can be applied to various ultra-thin or high-requirement electronic devices. The structure is high in practicability, wide in application range and easy to popularize.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rubber key structure, in particular to a reinforced rubber key. Background Art

[0002] Rubber keys are usually composed of a rubber keyboard and a circuit board. When the key is subjected to external force, the rubber material will deform, shortening the distance between the key and the circuit board, touching the switch on the circuit board, thus forming a closed circuit, and transmitting the electrical signal to the circuit board. The touch of the rubber key is determined by the internal structure design. These structures affect the elasticity and pressure of the key, thereby generating appropriate resistance and feedback force, so that the key has a noticeable touch when pressed, and can also avoid misoperation. Rubber keys are widely used in electronic products such as computers, mobile phones, toys, and remote controls.

[0003] However, in the prior art, similar to the above-mentioned rubber keys, when used, users often press with great force and at an incorrect angle, causing one end of the key to get stuck in the housing and fail to rebound normally; when there are many keys on a single product, the pressing feel is prone to poor consistency, affecting the use effect; the structural dimensions of the existing rubber keys are relatively large and are not suitable for various ultra-thin or high-demand electronic devices on the market, so the existing rubber keys still have room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a reinforced rubber button to reduce the requirements for the operator. When the user presses the button, the button is not easily stuck in the shell and can rebound normally; and when the number of buttons is large, the pressing feel can still remain consistent, solving the problems in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A reinforced rubber key comprises a rubber plate, a key, a reinforced metal component and a mounting hole.

[0007] The rubber plate has a plurality of mounting holes distributed in an array on the back, and a plurality of the mounting holes are embedded with reinforced metal components; a plurality of buttons are protruded on the front, and the tops of the buttons are higher than the tops of the reinforced metal components.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator presses the button with great force, the reinforced metal component in the button is not easily deformed, and the rubber button is prevented from being stuck in the shell, which is convenient to use and improves stability.

[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the reinforced metal component is fixed in the mounting hole, and its height is lower than the rubber plate. The overall rubber key has a small size and can be applied to various ultra-thin or high-demand electronic devices.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-key rubber keyboard has high strength and is not easy to break. When the user presses the keys, it is not easy to contact the reinforced metal components, and the pressing feel is consistent.

[0011] In summary, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. By setting up reinforced metal components, when the user presses the button hard, it is not easy to get stuck in the shell, and the pressing feel is consistent;

[0013] 2. By setting the mounting holes, the metal components are embedded and installed in a reinforced manner. The height is lower than the rubber plate. The overall rubber button is small in size and can be used in various ultra-thin or high-requirement electronic devices. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a reinforced rubber key provided by an embodiment of the utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the reinforced metal assembly provided by an embodiment of the utility model;

[0016] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a reinforced rubber key provided by an embodiment of the utility model;

[0017] In the figure, 11 is a button; 12 is a reinforced metal component; 13 is a rubber plate; and 14 is a mounting hole. Implementation

[0018] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of buttons 11 are protruded from the front of the rubber plate 13 . The buttons 11 are made of rubber and are integrally formed with the rubber plate 13 .

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes 14 distributed in an array are provided on the back of the rubber plate 13, and the diameter of the mounting holes 14 is larger than the reinforced metal component 12. After embedded installation, the height of the reinforced metal component 12 is lower than the rubber plate 13, so that the overall rubber button size is small.

[0021] The utility model embeds the reinforced metal component 12 in the mounting hole 14 on the back of the rubber plate 13, thereby solving the problem that the button 11 is not easily stuck in the shell when the user presses it hard, maintaining the consistency of the hand feel, and reducing the size of the overall rubber button. It can be applied to various ultra-thin or high-demand electronic devices.
