Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Touchpads are often provided in electronic devices. For example, an external keyboard of a tablet computer needs to be equipped with a touchpad. Users can operate the tablet computer by touch (pressing the touchpad with a finger or sliding on the touchpad) to improve office efficiency and enhance the user experience.

[0003] In the related art, in order to meet the needs of users, when the user presses the touch panel, the touch panel can move up and down and trigger the input command.

In order to avoid the interference of the abutting effect of the sensor on the pressing operation of the touch panel, the sensor and the pressing area of ​​the touch panel are often arranged in a partitioned and staggered manner, which makes the structural arrangement of the touch panel difficult, and the position of the pressing area is limited. The inability to achieve the overall pressing of the touch panel will make the user experience worse. Utility Model Content

[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0045] Touchpads are often provided in electronic devices. For example, an external keyboard of a tablet computer needs to be equipped with a touchpad. Users can operate the tablet computer by touch (pressing the touchpad with a finger or sliding on the touchpad) to improve office efficiency and enhance the user experience.

[0046] In the related art, in order to meet the needs of users, when the user presses the touch panel, the touch panel can move up and down and trigger the input command. In this process, the sensor on the pressing side of the touch panel is often required to abut against another sensor provided on the base of the electronic device, so as to sense the pressing operation and the pressing force. In order to avoid the interference of the abutting effect of the sensor on the pressing operation of the touch panel, the sensor and the pressing area of ​​the touch panel are often arranged in a partitioned and staggered manner, which makes the structural arrangement of the touch panel difficult, and the position of the pressing area is limited. The inability to achieve the overall pressing of the touch panel will make the user experience worse.

[0047] In view of this, see Figure 1-Figure 8 In the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a touch panel module 100 is provided, including a base 110, a touch control assembly 120 and a spring 130. According to the requirements, the touch panel module 100 can be used in any suitable electronic device 10, such as a keyboard, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc.

[0048] For details, see Figure 2-Figure 4The base 110 has a first wall surface 111, and the base 110 includes a first sensing portion 112 protruding from the first wall surface 111. Correspondingly, the touch component 120 is arranged opposite to the first wall surface 111 with a gap, and the touch component 120 includes a second sensing portion 121 opposite to the first sensing portion 112 with a gap, and the touch component 120 is configured to move toward the base 110 after being driven until the second sensing portion 121 abuts against the first sensing portion 112, thereby generating a sensing signal. It can be understood that when not pressed, the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 are spaced apart from each other. After the touch component 120 is driven, the first sensing portion 112 contacts the second sensing portion 121, thereby sensing the user's pressing operation. Specifically, in some embodiments, the second sensing portion 121 can be a circuit board press switch of the touch component 120, and the first sensing portion 112 can be any structure suitable for pressing the second sensing portion 121, so that the press switch can be triggered after the first sensing portion 112 contacts the second sensing portion 121; in other embodiments, the first sensing portion 112 can be a metal sheet, and the second sensing portion 121 can be a raised contact; or in other embodiments, the first sensing portion 112 can be a raised contact, and the second sensing portion 121 can be a metal sheet; or in other embodiments, the first sensing portion 112 and / or the second sensing portion 121 can be a press sensor. In addition, it should be noted that the touch component 120 can be driven in any suitable direction, and combined with the electronic device 10 to which the touch component 120 is applied, in some embodiments, the touch component 120 can be embedded in the accommodating cavity of the electronic device 10, and when not pressed, the upper surface of the touch component 120 is lower than the upper surface of the outer shell of the electronic device 10; or in other embodiments, the upper surface of the touch component 120 is flush with the outer shell of the electronic device 10, and after being driven by the user's pressure, the touch component 120 sinks into the accommodating cavity; or in other embodiments, when not pressed, a portion of the touch component 120 can be embedded in the accommodating cavity, and the other portion can be protruded from the outer shell of the electronic device 10.

[0049] In addition, illustratively, in some embodiments, the touch component 120 may also include a control substrate 115, a touch layer and a piezoelectric layer that are stacked, and each layer may be bonded with an adhesive layer. The arrangement of each component that enables the touch component 120 to achieve the touch function can refer to the relevant technology and will not be repeated here.

[0050] Based on the above-mentioned configuration of the sensing part, in order to facilitate the touch component 120 to move relative to the base 110 after being driven, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 6, the spring piece 130 includes a first connection part 131, a second connection part 132 and a first elastic part 133, the first connection part 131 is connected to the base 110 (can be directly connected or indirectly connected), the second connection part 132 is connected to the touch component 120, and the first elastic part 133 is connected to the first connection part 131 and the second connection part 132 respectively. Therefore, in some embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the first elastic part 133 is located between the first connection part 131 and the second connection part 132. The above definition means that the first connection part 131 and the second connection part 132 are staggered in the direction parallel to the first wall surface 111 (the two are not coplanar). More specifically, in some embodiments, the first elastic portion 133 extends obliquely along a direction perpendicular to the first wall 111, and the two ends are respectively connected to the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 132. The wall surface of the second connection portion 132 connected to the touch component 120 can be located on the side of the wall surface of the first connection portion 131 connected to the first boss 113 away from the first wall surface 111, that is, the position of the second connection portion 132 relative to the first wall surface 111 is higher than the first connection portion 131. Since the first elastic portion 133 connecting the second connection portion 132 and the first connection portion 131 is elastic, under the drive of the touch component 120, the second connection portion 132 can have a certain displacement in the height direction. It can be understood that the first wall surface 111 can directly or indirectly support and abut the first connection part 131, and then through the above-mentioned setting, the driving force applied by the user to the touch component 120 can act on the second connection part 132, and the second connection part 132 then transmits the driving force to the first connection part 131, and the first connection part 131 further transmits the driving force to the first wall surface 111. At this time, under the abutment of the first wall surface 111, the spring 130 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the user can receive the pressing feedback, and after the driving force disappears, the spring 130 can reset the touch component 120. According to the above-mentioned functions, in some embodiments, the first connection part 131, the second connection part 132 and the first elastic part 133 can all be metal sheet structures, and the three can be connected in an integral manner. Therefore, the spring 130 can be stamped from a whole piece of metal plate, and through subsequent processing, the first elastic part 133 can provide elastic force for the first connection part 131 and the second connection part 132.

[0051] In particular, in order to prevent the contact between the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 from interfering with the movement of the touch component 120 and the spring 130, and to prevent the positional arrangement of the sensing area (the area corresponding to the position where the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 contact each other) and the pressing area (the area of ​​the touch component 120 suitable for user pressing) from being affected by the moving touch component 120 and the spring 130, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the first connection portion 131 and / or the second connection portion 132 are provided with an avoidance hole 1321. Based on this, when the first sensing portion 112 abuts against the second sensing portion 121, at least one of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 is inserted into the avoidance hole 1321. It can be understood that the avoidance hole 1321 provided above can allow the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 to pass through the avoidance hole 1321 during the movement of the touch component 120 and the spring 130, so as to avoid interference between the two. More specifically, in some embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first wall 111, the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 can be respectively located on both sides of the avoidance hole 1321 when the touch component 120 is not driven; in addition, in other embodiments, when the touch component 120 is not driven or driven, the first sensing portion 112 and / or the second sensing portion 121 can partially extend into the avoidance hole 1321.

[0052] According to the combination of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the touch panel module 100 of the utility model includes a base 110, a touch component 120 and a spring 130. The base 110 has a first wall surface 111, and the base 110 includes a first sensing portion 112 protruding from the first wall surface 111. The touch component 120 is arranged opposite to the first wall surface 111 with a gap, and the touch component 120 includes a second sensing portion 121 opposite to the first sensing portion 112 with a gap, and the touch component 120 is configured to move toward the base 110 after being driven until the second sensing portion 121 abuts against the first sensing portion 112, thereby generating a sensing signal. The spring 130 includes a first connecting portion 131, a second connecting portion 132 and a first elastic portion 133, the first connecting portion 131 is connected to the base 110, the second connecting portion 132 is connected to the touch component 120, and the first elastic portion 133 is connected to the first connecting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132 respectively. The first connection portion 131 and / or the second connection portion 132 is provided with an avoidance hole 1321 . When the first sensing portion 112 abuts against the second sensing portion 121 , at least one of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 passes through the avoidance hole 1321 . Compared with the arrangement of partitioning and staggering the pressing areas of the sensor and the touch panel in the related art, the solution of the utility model arranges the avoidance hole 1321 so that during the movement of the touch component 120 and the spring 130, at least one of the first sensing part 112 and the second sensing part 121 can pass through the avoidance hole 1321 to avoid interference between the two. In other words, since the avoidance hole 1321 can be directly opened at the setting position of the first sensing part 112 and / or the second sensing part 121, the setting of the pressing area of ​​the spring 130 and the touch component 120 will not be restricted, so that the pressing operation can be achieved at all positions of the touch component 120. On the contrary, the position setting of the first sensing part 112 and the second sensing part 121 can also be not restricted by the pressing area. Therefore, the touch panel module 100 of the present invention is advantageous in preventing the abutting action of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 from affecting the action of pressing the touch control component 120 , thereby making the positions of the sensing area and the pressing area less restricted during design.

[0053] For further information, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the second connection portion 132 does not overlap with the first connection portion 131, and the second connection portion 132 is provided with an avoidance hole 1321. For the above arrangement, specifically, the first connection portion 131 can play a role in applying elastic force together with the first elastic portion 133, and the second connection portion 132 can play a role in supporting the touch control component 120, and the area of ​​this part is relatively large, so the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 can be arranged within the area of ​​the projection of the second connection portion 132 in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, and the avoidance hole 1321 is provided in the second connection portion 132, so that the structure is more reasonable.

[0054] Further, based on the above-mentioned pressing setting, in order to achieve a larger pressing stroke, see Figure 2-Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second connection portion 132 is defined to form a first projection on the first wall surface 111, and the first boss 113 is defined to form a second projection on the first wall surface 111. Based on this, the first projection and the second projection may not overlap. In other words, when observed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the second connection portion 132 and the first boss 113 may not overlap. The above arrangement can ensure that when the touch component 120 is driven and moves together with the spring 130 in a direction close to the base 110, the first boss 113 will not interfere with the movement of the second connection portion 132, thereby allowing the second connection portion 132 and the touch component 120 to have a larger displacement space, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121. In addition, the outer structure design of the spring 130 is more flexible and will not be affected by the first boss 113.

[0055] In addition, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 5In some embodiments, the first wall surface 111 is provided with a first boss 113, and the first connecting portion 131 is connected to the wall surface of the first boss 113 away from the first wall surface 111. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the second connecting portion 132 does not overlap with the first boss 113. The above arrangement can ensure that when the touch component 120 is driven and moves together with the spring 130 toward the direction close to the base 110, the first boss 113 will not interfere with the movement of the second connecting portion 132, thereby allowing the second connecting portion 132 and the touch component 120 to have a larger displacement space, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121. In addition, the outer structure design of the spring 130 is more flexible and will not be affected by the first boss 113. More specifically, since the first boss 113 will not interfere with the movement of the second connection portion 132, during the pressing process, the second connection portion 132 can gradually move from the end face of the first boss 113 away from the first wall 111 to the end face of the first boss 113 close to the first wall 111, that is, the height of the second connection portion 132 can be lower than the end face of the first boss 113, so that combined with the cooperation between the first boss 113 and the first connection portion 131, the above arrangement can make the bending deformation of the processed spring sheet 130 smaller without losing the deformation of the spring sheet 130. For the convenience of description, the following is an embodiment in which the first wall 111 is provided with a first boss 113 so that the first connection portion 131 can abut against the first boss 113 after the touch component 120 is driven, and different embodiments can be combined with each other between different technical solutions. In combination with the specific structure of the touch component 120, the wall surface of the touch component 120 connected to the second connecting portion 132 may be connected to various types of components. For example, in some embodiments, the wall surface of the touch component 120 facing the first boss 113 is provided with an electronic device 122. In order to prevent the electronic device 122 at this position from interfering with the movement of the touch component 120 and the spring 130, and to facilitate the arrangement of the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121, in some embodiments, a first groove 1312 is provided on the wall surface of the first connecting portion 131 facing away from the first boss 113, so that the electronic device 122 can extend into the first groove 1312. It can be understood that in this type of embodiment, since the first groove 1312 is recessed in a direction close to and away from the touch component 120, the sunken portion of the first groove 1312 can be used to accommodate at least part of the electronic device 122 to avoid interference. Alternatively, see Figure 2-Figure 4In other embodiments, the first connection portion 131 is provided with a second through hole 1313 extending in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, and the first boss 113 is provided with a second groove 1131 communicating with the second through hole 1313, so that the electronic device 122 can extend into the second groove 1131. It can be understood that in this type of embodiment, the electronic device 122 can directly pass through the first connection portion 131 and extend into the second groove 1131. At this time, the second groove 1131 can be a sunken closed groove structure or a through hole structure. This setting can make the second groove 1131 and the second through hole 1313 form a larger activity space for the electronic device 122, which also plays the role of avoiding interference. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the wall surface of the touch component 120 facing the first boss 113 can be provided with other types of components. At this time, the first groove 1312 or the second groove 1131 and the second through hole 1313 of the above embodiments can also play the role of avoiding interference.

[0056] It can be seen from the description of the above embodiments that the arrangement of the spring sheet 130 abutting against the first boss 113 can effectively reduce the bending height of the spring sheet 130, and corresponding to the arrangement of the sensing portion, see Figure 4 In some embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the height dimension of the first sensing portion 112 protruding from the first wall surface 111 is greater than the height dimension of the first boss 113 protruding from the first wall surface 111. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient for the first sensing portion 112 to abut against the second sensing portion 121, and the second sensing portion 121 at this time can be a circuit board pressing switch of the touch component 120, or the second sensing portion 121 can be a metal sheet, so that only the first sensing portion 112 is protruded to make the sensing structure more streamlined; on the contrary, in other embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the second sensing portion 121 can protrude from the wall surface of the touch component 120 connected to the second connecting portion 132, and the end of the second sensing portion 121 can exceed the wall surface of the first boss 113 connected to the first connecting portion 131, and the first sensing portion 112 at this time can be a circuit board pressing switch of the touch component 120, or the first sensing portion 112 can be a metal sheet.

[0057] See also Figure 2 as well as Figure 5In some embodiments, the second connection portion 132 is provided with a first through hole 1322 extending in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the first connection portion 131 and the first elastic portion 133 are both located in the first through hole 1322. For the above definition, in other words, the first elastic portion 133 and the first connection portion 131 together form a third projection on the first wall surface 111, and the hole wall of the first through hole 1322 forms a fourth projection on the first wall surface 111, and the fourth projection is arranged around the outer side of the third projection. In other words, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the second connection portion 132 is arranged around the first connection portion 131 and the first elastic portion 133. The above arrangement enables all parts of the second connection part 132 surrounding the first connection part 131 to be pressed, and the pressing force of each part is applied to the first connection part 131 and the first boss 113 more evenly, and it is not easy for a certain part of the first connection part 131 to be subjected to significantly greater pressure, thereby extending the service life of the spring piece 130.

[0058] For further information, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first wall surface 111, the first elastic portion 133 is located in the gap between the first connection portion 131 and the second connection portion 132, and the first elastic portion 133 is arranged around the first connection portion 131. It can be understood that the arrangement of the first elastic portion 133 being located in the gap can facilitate the spring piece 130 to form an integrated first connection portion 131, a second connection portion 132 and a first elastic portion 133 through stamping, and avoid the first elastic portion 133 from interfering with the first connection portion 131 and the second connection portion 132. In addition, the arrangement of the first elastic portion 133 around the first connection portion 131 can make the elastic force of the first elastic portion 133 have a larger range of action, and the elastic force action is more uniform.

[0059] In order to further expand the elastic force acting range of the spring piece 130 and make the elastic force more uniform, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the spring piece 130 further includes a second elastic portion 134, one end of the second elastic portion 134 is connected to the first connection portion 131, and the other end is connected to the second connection portion 132. Based on this, in some embodiments, the first direction and the second direction are defined to be perpendicular to each other and parallel to the first wall surface 111, the first elastic portion 133 and the second elastic portion 134 are located on both sides of the first connection portion 131 along the first direction, one end of the first elastic portion 133 and the second elastic portion 134 are both connected to one side of the first connection portion 131 along the second direction, and the other ends of the first elastic portion 133 and the second elastic portion 134 are both located on the other side of the first connection portion 131 along the second direction. It can be understood that the first elastic portion 133 and the second elastic portion 134 are both used to connect the first connection portion 131 and the second connection portion 132, and are respectively located on both sides of the first connection portion 131 along the first direction, so that the elastic force is uniformly applied to both sides of the first connection portion 131 while ensuring its elastic force. The shapes and structures of the first elastic portion 133 and the second elastic portion 134 may be the same or different.

[0060] In addition to the interaction between the first boss 113 and the first connection portion 131 described in the above embodiments, in order to make the pressable area of ​​the touch panel module 100 larger, multiple connection portions and multiple bosses corresponding thereto may be provided to ensure that the touch assembly 120 can obtain relatively stable support. For details, see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the base 110 further includes a second boss 114 protruding from the first wall surface 111, and the second boss 114 is located on the side of the first sensing portion 112 away from the first boss 113. The spring 130 further includes a third connecting portion 135 and a third elastic portion 136, the third connecting portion 135 is connected to the wall surface of the second boss 114 away from the first wall surface 111, and one end of the third elastic portion 136 is connected to the third connecting portion 135 and the other end is connected to the second connecting portion 132. It can be understood that in this type of embodiment, the interaction between the second boss 114 and the third connecting portion 135 is similar to the interaction between the first boss 113 and the first connecting portion 131 in the aforementioned embodiments, and can also improve the strength of the spring 130, reduce the metal fatigue of the spring 130, and improve the service life of the spring 130. In addition, it should be noted that, in some embodiments, the second connection portion 132 can be an integrated component, and the first elastic portion 133 and the third elastic portion 136 can be respectively connected to different parts of the second connection portion 132; in other embodiments, the second connection portion 132 can include two separately arranged parts, which are respectively connected to the first elastic portion 133 and the third elastic portion 136.

[0061] The arrangement of the first boss 113 is similar to that in the previous embodiment. Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the second boss 114 forms a fifth projection on the first wall surface 111, and the fifth projection does not overlap with the first projection; the third elastic portion 136 and the third connecting portion 135 jointly form a sixth projection on the first wall surface 111, and the fourth projection (the projection formed by the first through hole 1322 of the second connecting portion 132 on the first wall surface 111) is arranged around the outer side of the sixth projection. The above arrangement allows each part of the second connecting portion 132 surrounding the first connecting portion 131 and the third connecting portion 135 to be pressed, and the pressing force of each part applied to the first connecting portion 131, the first boss 113, the third connecting portion 135, and the second boss 114 is more uniform.

[0062] Further, based on the first connection portion 131, the second connection portion 132 and the third connection portion 135 defined above, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 132 includes a main body portion 1323 and a fixing portion 1324, the main body portion 1323 is provided with a first through hole 1322, and the main body portion 1323 is respectively connected to the first elastic portion 133 and the third elastic portion 136, the fixing portion 1324 is provided in the first through hole 1322 and is located between the first connecting portion 131 and the third connecting portion 135, the fixing portion 1324 is spaced apart from the first connecting portion 131 and the third connecting portion 135, and the two ends of the fixing portion 1324 are respectively connected to the main body portion 1323. It is understandable that, since the second connection part 132 needs to connect the first elastic part 133 and the third elastic part 136 respectively and provide elastic deformation space for both, the second connection part 132 can be hollowed out and form a first through hole 1322 corresponding to the part connected to the first elastic part 133 and the third elastic part 136, and both elastic parts are connected to the hole wall of the first through hole 1322, and the overall strength and rigidity of the second connection member are improved by the fixing part 1324 disposed in the first through hole 1322 and connected to the hole wall of the first through hole 1322. In addition, by providing the fixing part 1324 between the first connection part 131 and the third connection part 135, the force at each position of the main body part 1323 can be made more uniform and stable.

[0063] In addition, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 4In some embodiments, the first connection portion 131 has a second wall surface 1311 connected to the first boss 113, the second connection portion 132 has a third wall surface 1325 connected to the touch assembly 120, and the second wall surface 1311 is parallel to the third wall surface 1325. It can be understood that by arranging the second wall surface 1311 and the third wall surface 1325 in parallel, the elastic force of the first elastic portion 133 can be more stable and uniform, and corresponding to this arrangement, the wall surface of the first boss 113 connected to the first connection portion 131 and the wall surface of the touch assembly 120 connected to the second connection portion 132 can be arranged in parallel, so as to further facilitate the arrangement of the various components of the touch panel module 100 and make its structure neat and beautiful.

[0064] In addition, see Figure 2-Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 110 includes a substrate 115, the substrate 115 has a first wall surface 111, and the first sensing portion 112 is movably connected to the substrate 115, so that the first sensing portion 112 has at least two positioning positions relative to the substrate 115. Among them, the distance between the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 is different at each positioning position. Based on this, the second sensing portion 121 is a micro switch, and the first sensing portion 112 presses the micro switch so that the micro switch generates a sensing signal. It can be understood that the positioning position of the first sensing portion 112 is the different positions to which the first sensing portion 112 can move after the touch component 120 is driven, and the distance between the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 changes according to the change of their positions, and the user's pressing operation can be sensed by pressing the micro switch by the first sensing portion 112, so that the sensing structure is more streamlined and the sensing method is simpler. More specifically, in some embodiments, the distance between the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121 can be adjusted in a stepless manner. For example, the first sensing portion 112 can have a thread, so that the first sensing portion 112 can be driven to rotate inward by rotating the first sensing portion 112, and gradually approach or move away from the second sensing portion 121. In addition, any suitable stepless adjustment method can be used to adjust the distance between the first sensing portion 112 and the second sensing portion 121. The advantage of using stepless adjustment is that the distance can be flexibly adjusted to facilitate adjusting the touch sensitivity of the touch panel module 100, and avoid poor touch feel during touch due to assembly and tolerance.
