[0077] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the input device 10 is, for example, a touchpad, which can be applied to electronic devices such as laptops, but the type of electronic device is not limited thereto. The input device 10 includes a touch device 100 and a cover 200, allowing the user to input commands to operate the electronic device by touch and pressing. The touch device 100 has a simple structural design and is integrated into the electronic device via the cover 200. This design will be further described below.

[0078] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the components of a touch device. Figure 2 Circuit board 120 is shown in dashed lines to indicate the location of switch 150. See also... Figure 2The touch device 100 of this embodiment includes a panel 110, a circuit board 120, a bracket 130, and a reinforcing structure 140. The panel 110 is made of glass, for example, and allows the user to input data via touch or pressing. The circuit board 120 has opposing first surfaces F1 and second surfaces F2, with the panel 110 disposed on the first surface F1. The bracket 130 is disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120. The reinforcing structure 140 is disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120 and is located between the circuit board 120 and the bracket 130. The bracket 130 and the reinforcing structure 140 are, for example, metal components; the panel 110, circuit board 120, and reinforcing structure 140 are connected to each other, for example, by adhesive bonding, but this is not a limitation.

[0079] Furthermore, the bracket 130 includes a fixing area 137 and a slot 133 extending through the bracket 130. The fixing area 137 of the bracket 130 includes, for example, a locking hole, which can be used with a locking accessory such as a stud (not shown) to fix it to the cover 200 of the electronic device, such as the keyboard cover or bottom plate of a laptop computer (not shown), so as to fix the input device 10 to the electronic device, but the fixing method of the fixing area 137 is not limited thereto.

[0080] The reinforcing structure 140 is disposed in the slot 133 and includes a fixed end 141 and a movable end 142. The fixed end 141 is connected to the first inner sidewall 131 of the slot 133. In this embodiment, for example, spot welding can improve the flatness of the connection and reduce regional stress, but the connection method is not limited thereto. The movable end 142 is suspended in the slot 133. Due to the flexibility of the reinforcing structure 140, the movable end 142 can move relative to the fixed end 141 along the first direction D1.

[0081] In this embodiment, the touch device 100 also includes a switch 150. The switch 150 is, for example, a metal reed switch, which may be disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120 and adjacent to the movable end 142 of the reinforcing structure 140.

[0082] The bracket 130 or the fixed end 141 may further include a protrusion 135 opposite to the switch 150.

[0083] It should also be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of the cover 200 is shown schematically, but the size, shape and structure of the cover 200 are not limited thereto.

[0084] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A front view of the touch device holder and reinforcing structure combined. To show the complete structure of the holder 130, Figure 3 The portion of the bracket 130 that is concealed by the reinforcing structure 140 is shown in dashed lines. (See also...) Figure 3 The reinforcing structure 140 in this embodiment also includes a stop portion 143, which is close to the movable end 142 and away from the fixed end 141. Specifically, the stop portion 143 protrudes from the movable end 142 along a second direction D2, wherein the second direction D2 is orthogonal to the first direction D1.

[0085] The bracket 130 also includes a notch 134, which is recessed along the second direction D2 into the second inner wall 132 of the slot 133 and adapted to receive the stop portion 143. The second inner wall 132 is generally orthogonal to the first inner wall 131.

[0086] Please also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the panel 110 is attached to the bracket 130 or the reinforcing structure 140, the stop portion 143 extends beyond the outside of the panel 110 along the second direction D2 and is covered by the cover 200. Thus, when the electronic device including the input device 10 is inverted, the stop portion 143 is stopped by the cover 200 to prevent the movable end 142 and the connected panel 110 and circuit board 120 from detaching or protruding from the electronic device along the first direction D1 due to gravity.

[0087] When the user presses any part of the panel 110, the reinforcing structure 140 is subjected to corresponding force, causing the movable end 142 and the stop part 143 to move in the first direction D1 with the fixed end 141 as the base point. At the same time, the circuit board 120 moves with the movable end 142, causing the protrusion 135 on the bracket 130 or the fixed end 141 to trigger the switch 150 on the sunken circuit board 120, thereby achieving the effect of multi-point press input.

[0088] During the pressing process, the portion of the reinforcing structure 140 near the movable end 142 has a larger displacement in the first direction D1, while the portion of the reinforcing structure 140 near the fixed end 141 has a smaller displacement in the first direction D1. In other words, the closer the user applies force to the movable end 142 on the panel 110, the easier the input device 10 is to press, and the less force is required.

[0089] In this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 140 is connected to one end of the bracket 130 and disposed in the slot 133 of the bracket 130, allowing the reinforcing structure 140 itself to move up and down like a cantilever beam, achieving a pressing effect. Simultaneously, this embodiment simplifies the structure, reducing product weight and height compared to other touch modules that require complex components such as connecting rods, thus reducing production costs and assembly complexity. Furthermore, the stop portion 143 increases the structural strength of the device and provides better pressing feedback. Therefore, the touch device 100 of this embodiment not only provides multi-point pressing functionality but also has excellent touch performance.

[0090] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a gap G is formed between the reinforcing structure 140 and the second inner sidewall 132 of the slot 133 to prevent the bracket 130 from interfering with the movement of the reinforcing structure 140. A groove S is formed between the first inner sidewall 131 and the second inner sidewall 132, and the groove S connects to the gap G. This reduces the structural rigidity of the first inner sidewall 131 of the bracket 130, thereby improving the mobility of the reinforcing structure 140. This makes it easier for the movable end 142 of the reinforcing structure 140 to move along the first direction D1, saving the user effort. Simultaneously, it reduces the wear and breakage of the first inner sidewall 131 due to the movement of the reinforcing structure 140.

[0091] Figure 4 This is a front view of the bracket and reinforcing structure of a touch device according to another embodiment of this utility model. For easier viewing of the complete structure of the bracket 130, Figure 4 The portion of the bracket 130 that is covered by the reinforcing structure 140 is shown in dashed lines.

[0092] Figure 4 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 1 The main difference in the illustrated embodiments is that, Figure 4 The bracket 130 has a bent section 138 at one end corresponding to the fixed end 141. The bent section 138 is adjacent to the slot 133, located between the two slots S, and extends toward the movable end 142, so that there is a height difference between the fixed end 141 and the movable end 142 of the reinforcing structure 140 in the first direction D1, which can reduce the overall thickness of the touch device 100. The bent section 138 is provided with an opening 136. By providing the opening 136, the structural rigidity of the reinforcing structure 140 and the bracket 130 can be further reduced, making the bent section 138 easier to deform. This makes it easier for the movable end 142 of the reinforcing structure 140 to move along the first direction D1, which can reduce the force required for the user to press. In addition, the opening 136 can also reduce the regional stress of the bracket 130, reducing the wear and tear of the bracket 130 and the reinforcing structure 140.

[0093] In this embodiment, the length L of the opening 136 in the third direction D3 (orthogonal to the second direction D2) can be determined according to the actual design. The longer the length L, the easier it is for the bending segment 138 to deform, and the less effort the user needs. In addition, two openings 136 are shown in this embodiment, but the number of openings 136 is not limited to this.

[0094] In the foregoing and other embodiments, the reinforcing structure 140 can be integrally formed with the bracket 130, further eliminating the connection process between the two and improving the flatness of the structure.

[0095] The input device 10a of another embodiment will now be described. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an input device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Compared to Figure 1 Implementation examples, Figure 5 The input device 10a, through the setting of the touch device 100a, can achieve a full-area pressing effect. That is to say, any position on the panel 110a of the touch device 100a in this embodiment can be pressed, making it convenient for users to input commands. The following will provide a further explanation of this design.

[0096] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 An exploded view of the components of the touch device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The input device 10a in this embodiment includes a cover 200a and a touch device 100a. The touch device 100a includes a panel 110a, a circuit board 120a, a bracket 130a, and a reinforcing structure 140a. The panel 110a is made of glass, for example, and allows the user to input via touch or pressing. The cover 200a is, for example, the keyboard cover or bottom plate of a laptop (not shown), surrounding the panel 110a, circuit board 120a, bracket 130a, and reinforcing structure 140a to fix the input device 10a to the electronic device. The panel 110a is made of glass, for example, and allows the user to input via touch or pressing. The circuit board 120a has opposing first surfaces F1 and second surfaces F2. The panel 110a is disposed on the first surface F1 of the circuit board 120a. The bracket 130a is disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120a via the reinforcing structure 140a. The reinforcing structure 140a is disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120a and is located between the circuit board 120a and the bracket 130a. The bracket 130 and the reinforcing structure 140 are, for example, metal parts; the panel 110a, the circuit board 120a, and the reinforcing structure 140a are connected to each other, for example, by adhesive bonding, but are not limited thereto.

[0097] In this embodiment, the touch device 100a further includes a switch 150a and an elastomer 170. The switch 150a is, for example, a metal reed switch, disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120a (e.g., at the center of the second surface F2) and located between the circuit board 120a and the bracket 130a. The bracket 130a also includes a protrusion 135a, which is located opposite the switch 150a. The elastomer 170 has elastic force and is located between the switch 150a and the protrusion 135a.

[0098] In this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 140a includes a first reinforcing member 144 and a second reinforcing member 145. The first reinforcing member 144 is, for example, frame-shaped and disposed on the second surface F2 of the circuit board 120a, but the shape of the first reinforcing member 144 is not limited thereto. The side of the first reinforcing member 144 includes an outwardly extending stop portion 143a. The side of the first reinforcing member 144 near the circuit board 120a includes a groove 146, which is disposed, for example, at each corner of the first reinforcing member 144. The second reinforcing member 145 includes a fixed end 141a and a movable end 142a. The fixed end 141a is, for example, annular and connected to the bracket 130a, and the movable end 142a is slidably disposed in the groove 146 of the first reinforcing member 144. The movable end 142a and the fixed end 141a are connected by a plurality of elastic arms 147. The touch device 100a supports the panel 110a and the circuit board 120a via the elastic arm 147. Figure 7 yes Figure 5 Another schematic diagram of the touch device. To clearly illustrate the interior of the touch device 100a, Figure 7 Panel 110a and circuit board 120a are concealed. See also... Figure 7 More specifically, elastic arms 147 are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed end 141a and extend toward the first reinforcing member 144, such that the initial position of the movable end 142a is higher than that of the fixed end 141a. Specifically, the movable end 142a is located between the groove 146 of the first reinforcing member 144 and the circuit board 120a. Figure 6 Between the fixed end 141a and the side hole O of the groove 146 of the first reinforcing member 144, the elastic arm 147 extends from the fixed end 141a to the side hole O of the groove 146 of the first reinforcing member 144 and connects with the movable end 142a. The width of the movable end 142a is greater than the width of the side hole O to prevent the movable end 142a from disengaging from the groove 146.

[0099] In this embodiment, four elastic arms 147 are shown, but the number of elastic arms 147 is not limited thereto, as long as they correspond to the number of slide grooves 146.

[0100] In this embodiment, the stop portions 143a are disposed on opposite sides of the first reinforcing member 144. More specifically, a stop portion 143a is provided at the center of each side of the first reinforcing member 144, but the position and number of the stop portions 143a are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, each side of the first reinforcing member 144 may be provided with multiple stop portions 143a, for example, two stop portions may be respectively disposed at adjacent corners of each side. In addition, a stop surface 201 is provided on the cover 200a near the panel 110a, and the stop surface 201 can restrict the movement of the stop portions 143a in the first direction D1.

[0101] Figure 8 yes Figure 5A cross-sectional view of the touch device along section AA. Figure 8 The direction of movement of the first side R1 of the touch device 100a is schematically indicated by a bold arrow.

[0102] The operation of the touch device 100a in this embodiment will be further explained below. Please refer to... Figure 8 The touch device 100a has a first side R1 and a second side R2. When the user presses the first side R1 from the panel 110a, the circuit board 120a and the movable end 142a of the first side R1 are pressed. The movable end 142a extends along the slide groove 146, causing the elastic arm 147 to deform and move, so that the first side R1 of the touch device 100a can tilt downward along the first direction D1. At this time, the protrusion 135a can trigger the switch 150a on the sunken circuit board 120a. At the same time, since the fixed end 141a serves as a fulcrum, pressing the first side R1 will cause the second side R2 to tilt upward, so that the stop portion 143a of the first reinforcing member 144 of the second side R2 abuts against the stop surface 201 of the cover 200a, generating a collision force. The collision force is transmitted through the elastic arm 147 to the protrusion 135a to trigger the switch 150a on the sunken circuit board 120a, realizing the effect of pressing input. In other embodiments, the touch device 100a may further include an elastomer 170, through which the switch 150a is triggered.

[0103] It is worth noting that when the user presses the first side R1, the first reinforcing member 144 of the second side R2 would normally tilt upwards due to the downward movement of the first reinforcing member 144 of the first side R1, causing the panel 110a of the second side R2 to protrude from the cover 200a. However, in this embodiment, the stop surface 201 of the cover 200a ( Figure 8 The stop portion 143a of the first reinforcing member 144 can be stopped in the first direction D1. Figure 8 This restricts the movement of the circuit board 120a and panel 110a attached to the first reinforcing member 144 on the second side R2, allowing them to move only slightly beyond the cover 200a upwards, effectively preventing the panel 110a from lifting up when pressed and affecting its appearance.

[0104] On the other hand, if the user presses the center of the panel 110a, each elastic arm 147 can move simultaneously along the first direction D1, and the protrusion 135a can still trigger the switch 150a on the recessed circuit board 120a through the elastic body 170, thus achieving the effect of press input. In other words, through the above design, the touch device 100a of this embodiment can achieve the function of full-area press, so that pressing any position of the panel 110a will receive feedback.

[0105] The touch device 100a in this embodiment achieves full-area pressing through the cooperation of the first reinforcing member 144 and the second reinforcing member 145 in a mechanical structure. This not only requires fewer components and is easy to assemble, but also reduces production costs.

[0106] Figure 9 This is an exploded view of the components of a touch device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 6 The main difference in the illustrated embodiment is that the protrusion 135b of the touch device 100b can be disposed on the second reinforcement 145b instead of the bracket 130b, and the elastic arm 147 has a bending area 1473.

[0107] In detail, in this embodiment, the fixed end 141b of the second reinforcing member 145b is, for example, disc-shaped, and the protrusion 135b is disposed on the fixed end 141b. When the user presses the panel 110b as in the aforementioned embodiment, the circuit board 120b can sink along the first direction D1, and the protrusion 135b on the fixed end 141b can trigger the switch 150b disposed on the circuit board 120b, thus achieving the effect of press input. In this embodiment, the elastic arm 147 has a bending area 1473, so that the initial position of the movable end 142b in the first direction D1 is higher than that of the fixed end 141b.

[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the configuration and function of the panel 110b, circuit board 120b, first reinforcing member 144b and second reinforcing member 145b of the reinforcing structure 140b are the same as or similar to those of the bracket 130b. Figure 6 The embodiments shown will not be described in detail here.

[0109] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a touch device according to another embodiment of the present invention. To clearly show the internal structure of the device, Figure 10 The cover, panel, and circuit board are hidden. Figure 10 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 6 The main difference between the embodiment shown in or 9 is that, Figure 10 The stop portion 143c of the touch device 100c in the middle achieves the stopping effect by snapping.

[0110] Specifically, the stop portion 143 is disposed on the first reinforcing member 144c as in the aforementioned embodiment, but extends in a generally C-shape to form the fastening portion 148. The edge of the bracket 130c preferably has a notch 134c. The fastening portion 148 can pass through the notch 134c and contact the side of the bracket 130c away from the circuit board 120 (i.e., the bottom surface BF) to stop the movement of the first reinforcing member 144c of the stop reinforcing structure 140c in the first direction D1.

[0111] Similar to Figure 5 In the embodiment described above, when the first reinforcing member 144c on the first side R1 is pressed in the first direction D1, the first reinforcing member 144c on the second side R2 would originally be forced to tilt upwards. However, since the fastening part 148 is fastened to the bottom surface BF, the range of upward movement of the first reinforcing member 144c along the first direction D1 is limited, thus preventing it from tilting upwards during pressing and affecting the aesthetics.

[0112] Furthermore, the fastening part 148 in this embodiment is, for example, a snap or a plunger, but the type of fastening part 148 is not limited thereto, as long as it can achieve the effect of restricting the movement of the first reinforcing member 144c.

[0113] In summary, in the touch control device of this utility model, the reinforcing structure includes a stop portion and opposing fixed and movable ends. The fixed end is connected to a bracket, and the movable end can move relative to the fixed end. Through the design of the reinforcing structure, the effects of switch pressing and preventing component detachment can be achieved without additional components, thus simplifying the structure, facilitating assembly, reducing production costs, and providing multi-point pressing functionality with excellent touch control performance.

[0114] In addition, in another touch device of this utility model, the function of pressing the entire area can be achieved through the mechanical structure cooperation of the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member, so that pressing at any position of the panel can be fed back. There is no need to use the existing force sensing plate, which not only requires fewer components and is easy to assemble, but also reduces production costs.

[0115] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions or combinations can be made to some or all of the technical features, without causing the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
