Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of keys, and in particular to a side-touch magnetic axis key. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the design of magnetic axis keys usually adopts a structure in which the magnetic column is installed from the bottom of the handle. This structure requires a hole to be opened at the bottom of the handle so that the magnetic column can be installed into the handle from bottom to top. Although this design can realize the basic functions of magnetic axis keys, it has some significant disadvantages in practical applications.

[0003] For mechanical buttons, sound feedback is an important parameter that directly affects consumers' usage experience and product purchasing choices.

[0004] Due to the opening at the bottom of the handle of traditional magnetic axis keys, the sound produced during operation is often scattered and chaotic, and the sound concentration is not high. According to the position of the magnet in the hole, there are three main types of conventional magnetic axis key designs: the outer periphery of the core column touches the bottom, the magnet touches the bottom, and the two sides of the handle touch the bottom.

[0005] In the design where the outer periphery of the stem touches the bottom, the middle of the key is empty, resulting in a less focused and clear sound when the key is operated. The design where the magnet touches the bottom makes the key sound hard and less pleasant. The design where the two sides of the handle touch the bottom also makes the sound scattered and messy due to the collision on both sides of the key. None of these three designs are as pleasant and satisfying as the sound produced by plastic hitting plastic. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a side-touch magnetic axis key which uses a side-touch component to achieve magnetic triggering and utilizes a solid core column to touch the bottom, making the sound more concentrated and clear.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses a side-touch magnetic axis key, comprising a hollow body, a resettable handle slidably installed in the body, a magnetic side-touch component arranged on the handle, a spring located in the body and cooperating with the handle, and a Hall sensing device arranged in the body and cooperating with the side-touch component, wherein the handle has a solid lower section. When the key is working, after the handle slides down into place, the solid lower section contacts and collides with the inner bottom surface of the body, providing a key feedback sound.

[0008] Furthermore, a magnetic block is arranged in the side contact component.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting position for mounting a Hall sensor device is convexly provided on the main body, and the Hall sensor is mounted on the mounting position and matched with the side contact component.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower section of the button handle is columnar, and correspondingly, a guide groove matching the lower section is provided on the inner bottom of the body, so as to improve the stability of the button handle when it slides linearly.

[0011] Furthermore, a position for installing a key cap is provided at the top of the button handle.

[0012] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a vertical linear guide groove, and correspondingly, a guide block cooperating with the linear guide groove is protruded laterally on the handle, and the cooperation between the linear guide groove and the guide block realizes the guidance of the handle when it moves in the vertical direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the body is composed of a base and a cover. The body is hollow, forming a chamber for accommodating and installing the handle. The upper end of the chamber is open, and the handle part extends out of the opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the spring is a coil spring.

[0015] Furthermore, the Hall sensing device is a Hall chip.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. High sensitivity and operation feedback: Through the cooperation of magnetic side-touch components and Hall sensing devices, high-sensitivity key detection is achieved, and the contact and collision between the solid lower section of the button handle and the bottom surface of the body provides obvious key feedback sound, thereby improving the user operation experience.

[0018] 2. Stability and reliability: The guide groove design of the button handle improves the stability during sliding. The spring element provides a reliable button reset function. The simple structure is easy to manufacture and maintain, ensuring smooth and stable button operation.

[0019] The above-listed beneficial effects are not exhaustive of all advantages. Other potential beneficial effects and detailed technical implementations will be further disclosed in the examples or other description parts of this application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment discloses an exemplary structure of a side-touch magnetic axis button, which structurally comprises a hollow body 1, a button handle 2 which is resettable and slidably installed in the body 1, a magnetic side-touch component 3 arranged on the button handle 2, a spring 4 which is located in the body 1 and cooperates with the button handle 2, and a Hall sensing device 5 which is arranged in the body 1 and cooperates with the side-touch component 3.

[0031] Specifically, the body 1 is made of high-strength plastic material to ensure that it has sufficient mechanical strength and durability. The whole is hollow, forming a chamber 6 for accommodating and installing the handle 2. The upper end of the chamber 6 is open, and the handle 2 partially extends from the opening for easy operation.

[0032] More specifically, the body 1 is composed of a base and a cover, and a mounting position 7 for mounting a Hall sensor 5 is protruded from the body 1. The Hall sensor 5 is mounted on the mounting position 7 and cooperates with the magnetic side contact component 3 on the handle 1 to form an induction detection.

[0033] In order to ensure the guidance of the handle 2 when it moves in the vertical direction, a vertical linear guide groove is also provided on the body 1.

[0034] Specifically, the button handle 2 is also made of high-strength plastic material to enhance the feel and durability of the button.

[0035] The handle 2 has a solid lower section 9 in a columnar shape, and a latch for key cap installation is provided at the top to facilitate the fixing of the key cap (not shown in the figure).

[0036] A guide block is protruded laterally on the push handle 2 and cooperates with the vertical linear guide groove of the body 1. Through the cooperation between the guide groove and the guide block, the push handle 2 is guided when it moves in the vertical direction, ensuring smooth key operation.

[0037] As a necessary setting, a magnetic block 8 is arranged in the side contact part 3 on the button handle 2, and the magnetic induction feedback during the key operation is realized by relative cooperation with the Hall sensor device 5.

[0038] It should be particularly noted that the side-contact component 3 does not come into direct contact with the body 1 , nor with the Hall sensor device 5 , but achieves a magnetic induction effect by approaching or moving away from the Hall sensor device 5 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the spring 4 for resetting the handle 2 is a coil spring, and a stainless steel material with a high elastic modulus is selected to ensure its elasticity and resilience after long-term use.

[0040] In terms of specific operation, the spring 4 is located between the button handle 2 and the body 1. When the button handle 2 is pressed, the coil spring is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the user releases the button, the coil spring releases the elastic potential energy, pushing the button handle 2 to return to its original position, so that the button handle slides upward along the guide groove until it returns to its original position.

[0041] When operating a key, the user presses the handle 2 through the keycap, and the solid lower section 9 of the handle 2 slides downward along the guide groove. During the sliding process, the magnetic block 8 on the handle 2 gradually approaches the Hall sensor 5. When the handle 2 slides into place, the solid lower section 9 contacts and collides with the inner bottom surface of the body 1, providing a key feedback sound. At the same time, the Hall sensor 5 detects the change in the magnetic field and outputs a corresponding electronic signal. When the solid lower section 9 contacts the inner bottom surface of the body 1, a crisp and loud feedback sound is generated. This feedback sound is mainly generated by the high-frequency vibration when the solid lower section collides with the inner bottom surface of the hard plastic body 1. It has a high pitch and loudness, making the feedback of the key operation very obvious.

[0042] It is understandable that if the lower section of the button handle 2 is hollow, when the button is pressed into place, the hollow structure will absorb part of the collision energy, resulting in a relatively low feedback sound, which is muffled and unclear. The difference is that the solid structure provides a stronger mechanical collision, produces a clearer sound feedback, and helps the user confirm the operation status of the button. This crisp feedback sound not only allows the user to clearly perceive the state of the button during operation, but also provides a better touch and use experience.

[0043] Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure in essence. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. The present disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and the equivalents of these claims are also included.
