[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this disclosure belongs. The terms used in the description of this disclosure herein are only for the purpose of describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0052] Such as Figures 1 to 4 And Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, a touch component 100 is provided, which includes a carrier 110, a touch panel assembly 120, a mating member 130, and an elastic member 140. The touch panel assembly 120 telescopically moves relative to the carrier 110 along the thickness direction of the touch panel assembly 120. The touch panel assembly 120 includes a trigger sensor 121. The mating member 130 is disposed on the carrier 110, and the mating member 130 is provided with a mating portion 131 that triggers and cooperates with the trigger sensor 121. Along the thickness direction of the touch panel assembly 120, the mating portion 131 and the trigger sensor 121 are disposed opposite to each other. At least a part of the elastic member 140 is clamped between the carrier 110 and the touch panel assembly 120. The elastic member 140 includes a cantilever body 142 and a connecting body 141 fixedly connected to the cantilever body 142. The length direction of the cantilever body 142 is set along the direction from the connecting body 141 to the edge of the touch panel assembly 120, and at least a part of the cantilever body 142 is suspended on the carrier 110 to support the touch panel assembly 120. The connecting body 141 is connected to at least one of the carrier 110 and the mating member 130.

[0053] When the touch component 100 is in use, touch operations are realized by using the touch panel assembly 120. When the touch panel assembly 120 is pressed, since at least a part of the elastic member 140 is clamped between the carrier 110 and the touch panel assembly 120, and the length direction of the cantilever body 142 is set along the direction from the connecting body 141 to the edge of the touch panel assembly 120. Thus, when an area within the edge of the touch panel assembly 120 is pressed, the touch panel assembly 120 can squeeze the cantilever body 142 to cause elastic deformation, and make the trigger sensor 121 and the mating portion 131 trigger and cooperate to generate a pressing control signal. After the force pressing the touch panel assembly 120 is cancelled, the touch panel assembly 120 will reset to the initial state under the elastic restoring force of the cantilever body 142. Furthermore, the touch component 100 can increase the pressing area of the touch panel assembly 120.

[0054] It should be noted that there are various specific implementation manners of the "trigger sensor 121", including but not limited to contact pressure sensors, non-contact photoelectric sensors, or displacement sensors, etc., as long as they can generate trigger electrical signals.

[0055] It should be noted that the "trigger cooperation between the mating portion 131 and the trigger sensor 121" includes but is not limited to being pressed against each other, being attached to each other, a change in magnetic strength, or an optical path being blocked, etc., as long as it can generate trigger electrical signals.

[0056] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the "thickness direction of the touchpad assembly 120" is the Z-axis direction. In some embodiments, when the trigger sensor 121 is in a non-triggered state, at least a part of the cantilever 142 is suspended above the carrier 110, and the engaging portion 131 is spaced apart from the trigger sensor 121. This facilitates the formation of a pressing stroke space and better enables pressing and triggering. When the trigger sensor 121 is in a triggered state, the cantilever 142 is pressed and approaches or abuts against the carrier 110, and the engaging portion 131 abuts against the trigger sensor 121. The touchpad assembly 120 can be reset to the non-triggered state through the elastic member 140. In this way, by pressing the touchpad assembly 120, at least a part of the touchpad assembly 120 moves toward the carrier 110, so that the engaging portion 131 abuts against the trigger sensor 121 to generate a trigger electrical signal, which is convenient for using the trigger electrical signal to complete control input (such as operating a left or right mouse button click). After the pressing force is withdrawn, the touchpad assembly 120 will be reset to the non-triggered state under the elastic restoring force of the cantilever 142.

[0057] It should be noted that "the engaging portion abuts against the trigger sensor" includes direct abutment or indirect abutment.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, the engaging member is movably disposed on the carrier and connected to the connecting body, and the connecting body is rotatably connected to the carrier. When the trigger sensor is in a triggered state, the cantilever is pressed, so that the engaging portion moves upward and abuts against the trigger sensor. In this way, the cantilever and the engaging portion cooperate to form a seesaw structure, which can reduce the moving distance of the touchpad assembly relative to the carrier and make the pressing touch more sensitive.

[0059] It should be noted that "the connecting body is connected to at least one of the carrier and the engaging member" includes the connecting body being connected to the carrier, the connecting body being connected to the engaging member, or the connecting body being connected to both the carrier and the engaging member.

[0060] Combined with any of the above embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the carrier 110 is provided with a hollow hole 111, and the touchpad assembly 120 further includes a transmission line 122, and a part of the transmission line 122 passes through the hollow hole 111 and is disposed outside the carrier 110. In this way, the hollow hole 111 is used to avoid the transmission member, which facilitates the touchpad assembly 120 to communicate and connect with other electronic devices (such as a controller) through the transmission line 122, so that the touch component 100 can be modularly installed on the device body 10b along with the carrier 110.

[0061] Combined with any of the above embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the touchpad assembly 120 includes a touch control circuit board 123 and a touchpad 124 electrically connected to the touch control circuit board 123. The touch control circuit board 123 abuts against the elastic member 140. The touchpad 124 is disposed outside the touch control circuit board 123 and is disposed opposite to the carrier 110. The trigger sensor 121 is electrically connected to the touch control circuit board 123. In this way, the movement of the mouse is realized by using the touchpad 124, and the click control operation is realized by the trigger sensor 121. Finally, the touch control circuit board 123 integrates the touchpad 124 and the trigger sensor 121 together, which is convenient for modular installation to improve the assembly efficiency of the touch component 100.

[0062] Combined with any of the above embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the carrier 110 is provided with a first through hole 112. The fitting 130 includes a plate body 132 fixed on the carrier 110 and a screw 133. The plate body 132 is provided with an internal threaded hole 1321 corresponding to the first through hole 112. One end of the screw 133 is provided with a fitting portion 131. The screw 133 passes through the first through hole 112 and is in threaded engagement with the internal threaded hole 1321, so that the fitting portion 131 protrudes from the plate body 132 in a direction away from the carrier 110. In this way, by providing the internal threaded hole 1321 on the plate body 132, the screw 133 passes through the first through hole 112 and is in threaded engagement with the internal threaded hole 1321, which is convenient to utilize the principle of screw self-locking to realize adjusting the height of the fitting portion 131 protruding from the plate body 132 by rotating the screw 133. It is easy to implement and has a compact structure. Furthermore, it is easy to adjust the trigger distance between the fitting portion 131 and the trigger sensor 121. That is, the pressing stroke of the trigger component is easy to adjust, and the pressing force is easy to adjust, which is beneficial to improving the pressing feel.

[0063] In some embodiments, the touch component 100 further includes a fastener 150. The plate body 132 is fixed to the carrier 110 by the fastener 150. In this way, the fitting 130 and the carrier 110 can be manufactured separately and then fixed together by the fastener 150, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0064] It should be noted that there are various specific implementation manners of the fastener 150, including but not limited to bolts, screws, rivets, etc.

[0065] Optionally, the fastener 150 is a bolt, and at least one of the carrier 110 and / or the plate body 132 is provided with a threaded hole in threaded engagement with the bolt.

[0066] In other embodiments, the carrier 110 and the fitting 130 are integrally formed.

[0067] Optionally, as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 141 is fixedly connected to the mating member 130 so that at least a portion of the cantilever 142 is spaced apart from the carrier 110 in the thickness direction of the touchpad assembly 120. In this way, by using the mating member 130 to connect with the connector 141, it is convenient to space the cantilever 142 apart from the carrier 110 to form a pressing stroke space (such as Figure 6 the gap a shown). It is also convenient to use the elastic reset of the cantilever 142 to reset the touchpad assembly 120 to its initial state, that is, the non-trigger state.

[0068] Combined with the foregoing embodiments of the connector 141, as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the connector 141 is fixed to the plate body 132 so that at least a portion of the cantilever 142 is spaced apart from the carrier 110 in the thickness direction of the touchpad assembly 120. In this way, by using the plate body 132 to connect with the connector 141, it is convenient to space the cantilever 142 apart from the carrier 110 to form a pressing stroke space. It is also convenient to use the elastic reset of the cantilever 142 to reset the touchpad assembly 120 to its initial state, that is, the non-trigger state.

[0069] Combined with any of the above embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic member 140 includes at least two cantilevers 142 spaced apart along the outer peripheral side of the trigger sensor 121 and at least two connectors 141 corresponding to the cantilevers 142 one by one. In this way, by using at least two cantilevers 142 to support the touchpad assembly 120, the touchpad assembly 120 is more evenly stressed, which is beneficial to improving the large-area pressing feel of the touch component 100.

[0070] Further, as Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic member 140 further includes at least two support bodies 143. At least two cantilevers 142 are arranged on the same side of the trigger sensor 121 as the first group. In the first group, adjacent two cantilevers 142 are respectively connected to the support body 143 to form a hollow groove. In this way, by using at least two support bodies 143, the contact area with the touchpad assembly 120 can be increased, and the strength of the cantilever 142 can be improved, which is beneficial to further improving the large-area pressing feel of the touch component 100.

[0071] And adjacent two cantilevers 142 are respectively connected to the support body 143 to form a hollow groove to reduce the movement interference of the cantilever 142.

[0072] As Figure 8 shown, in an example, two cantilevers 142 are spaced apart along the X-axis direction and are connected to the support body 143.

[0073] As Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, the "first direction" is the Y-axis direction, specifically, it can be the length direction of the trigger plate.

[0074] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, there are at least two elastic members 140, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction on the two opposite sides of the trigger sensor 121. In this way, at least two elastic members 140 are used to support the touchpad assembly 120, so that the force on the touchpad assembly 120 is more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the pressing feel of the large area of the touch component 100.

[0075] Combined with the foregoing embodiments of at least two cantilever bodies 142, the touchpad assembly 120 is uniformly stressed in the Y-axis direction (the length direction of the touchpad assembly 120) and the touchpad assembly 120 is uniformly stressed in the X-axis direction (the width direction of the touchpad assembly 120), further improving the pressing feel of the entire area of the touch component 100.

[0076] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, one end of the cantilever body 142 is connected to the connecting body 141, and the other end of the cantilever body 142 is arranged at the edge of the touchpad assembly 120. In this way, it is convenient to realize the full-area pressing feedback of the touchpad assembly 120, and improve the operation flexibility and convenience of the touch component 100.

[0077] Combined with any of the foregoing embodiments of at least two elastic members 140, as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the touch component 100 further includes a support ring 160. The support ring 160 is fixedly connected to the cantilever bodies 142 of at least two elastic members 140. The support ring 160 is provided with a part for avoiding the elastic members 140 and an avoidance hole 161 for the mating member 130. The support ring 160 is fixedly connected to the touchpad assembly 120. In this way, the support ring 160 is used to connect at least two elastic members 140 into a whole, and then fixedly connected to the touchpad assembly 120, so that the force on the touchpad assembly 120 is more uniform, and it is also convenient to use the support ring 160 to form an avoidance space, so that the trigger sensor 121 can protrude from the bottom of the touchpad assembly 120 (relative to its touch surface). It can not only prevent the trigger sensor 121 from being damaged by overpressure of the mating member 130, but also be beneficial to integrating other electronic devices (such as transmission lines 122, electrical connectors, etc.) in the touchpad assembly 120.

[0078] Optionally, as Figures 6 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the touch component 100 further includes a gasket 170 disposed on the cantilever 142. The gasket 170 is disposed inside the support ring 160. When the trigger sensor 121 is in a triggered state, the gasket 170 cooperates with the support ring 160 and the mating member 130 to support the touch panel assembly 120, and the mating portion 131 abuts against the trigger sensor 121. When the trigger sensor 121 is in a non-triggered state, at least a part of the gasket 170 is spaced apart from the touch panel assembly 120 in the thickness direction of the touch panel assembly 120. In this way, it is convenient to use the gasket 170 to adjust the gap between the cantilever 142 and the touch panel assembly 120 (such as Figure 6 the gap b shown), which can not only reduce movement interference, but also adjust the pressing stroke to improve the pressing feel of the touch component 100.

[0079] Combined with the aforementioned screw 133, by replacing gaskets 170 with different thicknesses to adapt to the height adjustment of the mating portion 131, the adjustment of the pressing stroke of the touch component 100 is more convenient and the pressing feel can be ensured.

[0080] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the touch component 100 further includes a first adhesive layer 180, and the support ring 160 is adhesively fixed to the touch panel assembly 120 through the first adhesive layer 180. In this way, the gasket 170 is fixed on the cantilever 142 through the first adhesive layer 180, which is easy to implement and simple to install.

[0081] As Figure 5 shown, optionally, the touchpad 124 is fixed to the touch control circuit board 123 through a second adhesive layer 125, which is easy to implement and simple to install.

[0082] As Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, an input device 10a is provided, which includes a support assembly 200 and the touch component 100 in any of the above embodiments, and the carrier 110 is fixedly provided on the support assembly 200.

[0083] When the input device 10a is in use, the support assembly 200 is used to integrate the touch component 100. When pressing an area within the edge of the touch panel assembly 120, the touch panel assembly 120 can squeeze the cantilever 142 to elastically deform, and cause the trigger sensor 121 to trigger and cooperate with the mating portion 131 to generate a pressing control signal. After the force pressing the touch panel assembly 120 is cancelled, the touch panel assembly 120 will reset to the initial state under the elastic restoring force of the cantilever 142. Furthermore, the input device can achieve large-area touch and large-area pressing trigger operations, can achieve a variety of quick gesture operations, and has good followability.

[0084] Optionally, as Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the input device 10a further includes a keyboard body 300 fixedly provided on the support assembly 200.
