Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic shaft switches, in particular to a magnetic shaft switch and a keyboard. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a conventional magnetic shaft switch design, a magnetic material is installed at the bottom of a button (shaft core), and a sound is generated by the contact collision between the magnetic material and the shell each time the button is pressed, which becomes a symbol of the identity of the magnetic shaft keyboard or related equipment.

[0003] However, due to the fixed physical properties of the magnetic material, it is very difficult to enrich or modulate the sound effect by changing the magnetic material itself. In the related art, some manufacturers change the shell material to change the sound effect, but the material of the magnetic material as the core component is limited by the functional requirements and cannot be easily replaced. Therefore, even if a certain degree of sound effect adjustment is obtained by changing the shell material, it is still difficult to provide a more rich sound effect for the user beyond the limits of the material itself. At the same time, the current magnetic material is prone to wear and tear and cracking after a long time of use, which seriously affects the service life of the magnetic shaft switch and increases the maintenance cost.

[0047] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs; the terms used in the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application; the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof in the description of the present application and the claims and the above description of drawings are intended to cover the non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first", "second" and the like in the description of the present application and the claims or the above description of drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order or primary and secondary relationship.

[0049] In the present application, the phrase "embodiment" means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears at various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is each embodiment mutually exclusive or alternative to the other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in the present application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0050] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connect", "connection", "attach" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] In the present application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship between the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in the present application generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0052] In this application, "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), and similarly, "multiple groups" refers to two or more (including two), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two).

[0053] In traditional magnetic axis switch designs, magnetic material is installed at the bottom of the button (axis). When the button is pressed, sound is produced by the contact and collision between the magnetic material and the housing. This has become a symbol of the identity of magnetic axis keyboards or related devices.

[0054] However, due to the fixed physical properties of magnetic materials, it is very difficult to enrich or modulate the sound effect by changing the magnetic material itself. In related technologies, some manufacturers change the sound effect by changing the shell material. However, as the core component, the magnetic material is limited by functional requirements and is not easy to replace. Therefore, even if a certain degree of sound effect adjustment is achieved by changing the shell material, it is still difficult to cross the limits of the material itself to provide users with a richer sound effect. At the same time, the current magnetic materials are prone to wear and breakage after long-term use, which seriously affects the service life of the magnetic shaft switch and increases maintenance costs.

[0055] Based on this, this application proposes a magnetic shaft switch 100, which has a contact 5 on the magnetic component 4. When the shaft core 2 is pressed, the magnetic component 4 no longer directly contacts the housing 1, but indirectly contacts the housing 1 through the contact 5. With this configuration, the collision sound can be diversified and customized by changing the materials of the contact 5 and the housing 1. That is, by using different material combinations, a richer sound effect can be provided to the user, which can meet the user's personalized sound customization needs. At the same time, the contact 5 can also absorb a certain impact force during the pressing of the shaft core 2, thereby protecting the magnetic component 4 and preventing defects such as wear and breakage of the magnetic component 4 during long-term use. This is beneficial to improving the service life of the magnetic shaft switch 100 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0056] The magnetic shaft switch 100 and keyboard according to embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] like Figures 1-13 As shown, the magnetic shaft switch 100 according to the first aspect of this application includes: a housing 1, a shaft core 2, a return spring 3, a magnetic element 4, and a contact element 5.

[0058] Along the first direction X, the housing 1 has a first bottom wall 11 and an opening 12 disposed opposite to each other. Along the first direction X, the shaft core 2 is limited and assembled inside the housing 1, with a portion of the shaft core 2 extending out of the opening 12. A return spring 3 is abutted and installed between the shaft core 2 and the first bottom wall 11. Along the first direction X, the shaft core 2 is movable relative to the housing 1. When the shaft core 2 is pressed, the shaft core 2 compresses the return spring 3 and is adapted to move from a first position to a second position. When the shaft core 2 is not pressed, the return spring 3 is adapted to drive the shaft core 2 to return to the first position. Along the first direction X, a magnetic element 4 is installed on the side of the shaft core 2 near the first bottom wall 11. A contact element 5 is fixedly connected to the magnetic element 4, and at least a portion of the contact element 5 is disposed between the bottom of the magnetic element 4 and the first bottom wall 11. When the shaft core 2 moves to the first position, the contact element 5 separates from the first bottom wall 11. When the shaft core 2 moves to the second position, the contact element 5 contacts the first bottom wall 11.

[0059] Specifically, the first direction X is the pressing direction of the shaft core 2, with Figure 1 Taking the placement of the magnetic shaft switch 100 as an example, the shaft core 2 can be pressed along the first direction X. Further, refer to... Figures 1-3 As shown, along the first direction X, the housing 1 has a first bottom wall 11 and an opening 12 arranged opposite to each other. An installation space is formed inside the housing 1, wherein the opening 12 communicates with the installation space. During the assembly of the shaft core 2, the housing 1 and the return spring 3, along the first direction X, a part of the shaft core 2 is limited and installed in the installation space, and the other part of the shaft core 2 is ensured to pass through the opening 12 of the housing 1 and extend out of the housing 1. Along the first direction X, the return spring 3 is abutted and installed between the shaft core 2 and the first bottom wall 11 of the housing 1. It should be noted that after the return spring 3 is abutted and installed between the shaft core 2 and the first bottom wall 11 of the housing 1, the return spring 3 is in a compressed state. Therefore, the return spring 3 can provide an upward elastic force for the limiting assembly between the shaft core 2 and the housing 1. For example, along the first direction X, the housing 1 has a first limiting part, and the shaft core 2 has a second limiting part arranged corresponding to the first limiting part. Under the elastic force of the return spring 3, the first limiting part and the second limiting part abut against each other to restrict the shaft core 2 from moving out of the housing 1.

[0060] It is understandable that the shaft core 2 can be pressed downward along the first direction X by the part extending out of the housing 1, and during the pressing process, the shaft core 2 will compress the return spring 3. The return spring 3 will accumulate elastic force during the compression process, and after the shaft core 2 stops pressing, the return spring 3 will drive the shaft core 2 to move upward and reset.

[0061] Further, the magnetic shaft switch 100 is provided with a magnetic element 4, which is mainly used to generate signals with the Hall sensor, AMR sensor, GMR sensor or TMR sensor in the keyboard to input information. This part is a conventional technology in the field of keyboards, and will not be described in detail here. The magnetic element 4 in the present application is installed on one side of the shaft core 2 close to the first bottom wall 11. Referring to Figure 3 As mentioned above, the magnetic element 4 is installed below the shaft core 2. It should be noted that the magnetic element 4 can be directly installed on the shaft core 2, or indirectly installed on the shaft core 2 through other components. No specific limitation is made here.

[0062] The magnetic shaft switch 100 is also provided with a contact element 5, which is fixedly connected with the magnetic element 4. The fixed connection modes include but are not limited to interference assembly, bonding, clamping, etc. Among them, along the first direction X, at least part of the contact element 5 is arranged between the bottom of the magnetic element 4 and the first bottom wall 11. For example, part of the contact element 5 is arranged between the bottom of the magnetic element 4 and the first bottom wall 11, or the contact element 5 is completely arranged between the bottom of the magnetic element 4 and the first bottom wall 11. In this way, when the shaft core 2 moves downward along the first direction X, the contact element 5 can contact the first bottom wall 11 of the shell 1 before the magnetic element 4.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the first position of the shaft core 2 is the initial position, and the maximum stroke position of the shaft core 2 moving downward along the first direction X is the second position, as shown in Figure 3 When the shaft core 2 is in the first position, the shaft core 2 abuts against the shell 1 under the action of the return spring 3. When the shaft core 2 is pressed downward along the first direction X, the shaft core 2 moves downward and compresses the return spring 3. When the shaft core 2 moves to the second position, the shaft core 2 is at the maximum stroke position. At this time, the contact element 5 contacts the first bottom wall 11, that is, when the shaft core 2 moves to the second position, the contact element 5 collides with the shell 1 and emits a sound. When the pressing on the shaft core 2 is stopped, for example, the user moves the finger away from the upper part of the shaft core 2, the shaft core 2 moves upward along the first direction X under the action of the return spring 3, and the shaft core 2 is reset to move to the first position. At this time, the contact element 5 is separated from the first bottom wall 11, thereby completing one pressing and rebounding action of the shaft core 2.

[0064] It should be noted that during this pressing process of the shaft core 2, the magnetic element 4 no longer directly contacts the shell 1, but indirectly contacts the shell 1 through the contact element 5. The contact element 5 collides with the first bottom wall 11 of the shell 1 instead of the magnetic element 4, and the sound generated by the magnetic shaft switch 100 is the sound emitted by the collision between the contact element 5 and the shell 1. Therefore, the magnetic material is no longer limited, and different sound effects can be achieved by changing the materials of the contact element 5 and the shell 1. Thus, the combination of different materials is used to provide more diverse sound effects for users, thereby meeting the personalized sound customization needs of users.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the contact piece 5 can be selected from, but not limited to, plastic, metal, silica gel, etc., and the shape of the contact piece 5 can be configured as, but not limited to, a circle, a ring, a square, a cone, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, during each pressing of the shaft core 2, the magnetic piece 4 makes sound by indirect collision with the shell 1 through the contact piece 5. Compared with the traditional rigid collision between the magnetic piece 4 and the shell 1, the contact piece 5 absorbs a certain impact force during the pressing of the shaft core 2, thereby reducing the collision force on the magnetic piece 4, so as to provide better protection for the magnetic piece 4, avoid defects such as wear and tear and fragmentation of the magnetic piece 4 in a long-term use process, and be conducive to improving the service life of the magnetic shaft switch 100 and reducing the maintenance cost of the magnetic shaft switch 100.

[0067] According to the magnetic shaft switch 100 provided by the first aspect of the present application, the contact piece 5 is arranged on the magnetic piece 4. When the shaft core 2 is pressed, the magnetic piece 4 no longer directly contacts the shell 1, but indirectly contacts the shell 1 through the contact piece 5. By such arrangement, the collision sound can be diversified and customized by changing the materials of the contact piece 5 and the shell 1, i.e., using different material combinations to provide more abundant sound effects for users, so as to meet the individualized sound customization needs of users. At the same time, the contact piece 5 can also absorb a certain impact force during the pressing of the shaft core 2, thereby providing protection for the magnetic piece 4 and preventing defects such as wear and tear and fragmentation of the magnetic piece 4 in a long-term use process, which is conducive to improving the service life of the magnetic shaft switch 100 and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2-13 In the first direction X, the shaft core 2 is provided with a guide column 21 on the side close to the first bottom wall 11, the first bottom wall 11 is provided with a guide groove 13 matched with the guide column 21, the guide groove 13 has a second bottom wall 14 arranged opposite to the guide column 21, the magnetic piece 4 is installed at one end of the guide column 21 close to the second bottom wall 14 in the first direction X, the contact piece 5 is fixedly connected with the magnetic piece 4, and at least part of the contact piece 5 is arranged between the bottom of the magnetic piece 4 and the second bottom wall 14. When the shaft core 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the guide column 21 drives the contact piece 5 to be inserted into the guide groove 13, so that the contact piece 5 contacts the second bottom wall 14.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2As shown, along the first direction X, the shaft core 2 has a guide column 21 protruding towards the first bottom wall 11, which can be formed by extending the shaft core 2 towards the first bottom wall 11, and the first bottom wall 11 has a guide groove 13 corresponding to the guide column 21, which is adapted to the guide column 21. It can be understood that the first bottom wall 11 has an annular protrusion extending upwards along the first direction, and the annular protrusion surrounds and forms the guide groove 13, and the guide groove 13 has a second bottom wall 14 opposite to the guide column 21. The size of the guide groove 13 is greater than the size of the guide column 21, so that the guide column 21 can extend into the guide groove 13. Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The reset spring is sleeved on the guide column and the annular protrusion, and the reset spring is abutted and installed between the shaft core and the first bottom wall.

[0070] Further, the magnetic member 4 is installed at one end of the guide column 21 close to the second bottom wall 14. For example, the magnetic member 4 can be installed at the bottom of the guide column 21. The contact member 5 is fixedly connected with the magnetic member 4, and the fixedly connected manner includes but is not limited to interference assembly, bonding, clamping and the like. Along the first direction X, at least part of the contact member 5 is arranged between the bottom of the magnetic member 4 and the second bottom wall 14 of the guide groove 13. For example, part of the contact member 5 is arranged between the bottom of the magnetic member 4 and the second bottom wall 14 of the guide groove 13, or the contact member 5 is completely arranged between the bottom of the magnetic member 4 and the second bottom wall 14 of the guide groove 13. It needs to be noted that, in order to ensure that the contact member 5 can be inserted into the guide groove 13, the size of the contact member 5 needs to be less than the size of the guide groove 13. In this way, when the shaft core 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the guide column 21 can drive the contact member 5 to be inserted into the guide groove 13 through the magnetic member 4, and when the shaft core 2 is located at the second position, the contact member 5 is in contact with the second bottom wall 14, so as to realize the collision between the contact member 5 and the shell 1.

[0071] It can be understood that, when the shaft core 2 is pressed and moves downwards, the guide column 21 is directed to be deeply inserted into the guide groove 13, and the guide groove 13 can guide the movement of the guide column 21, so that the shaft core 2 can stably and directionally move downwards.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner circumferential wall of the guide groove 13 is provided with a guide rail protruding towards the central position. Specifically, the guide rail can be several, such as four. During the guide movement of the guide column 21 extending into the guide groove 13, the guide rail directly contacts and guides the guide column 21, and at the same time, the guide column 21 and the guide groove 13 have a gap, so as to allow the compressed air in the guide groove 13 to be discharged, which is beneficial to improve the pressing smoothness and hand feeling of the shaft core 2.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figures 2-4As shown in the figure, along the first direction X, the guiding column 21 has a first mounting groove 211 at one end close to the second bottom wall 14, the magnetic member 4 comprises a first section 41 and a second section 42 connected, the first section 41 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 211, and the second section 42 is located outside the first mounting groove 211, the contact member 5 is sleeved on at least part of the outer peripheral wall of the second section 42, and the contact member 5 covers the end face of the second section 42 close to the second bottom wall 14.

[0074] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, along the first direction X, the bottom of the guiding column 21 is provided with the first mounting groove 211, and a part of the magnetic member 4 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 211, and another part of the magnetic member 4 protrudes out of the first mounting groove 211, wherein the magnetic member 4 located in the first mounting groove 211 is the first section 41, and the magnetic member 4 located outside the first mounting groove 211 is the second section 42, further, the contact member 5 is sleeved on at least part of the outer peripheral wall of the second section 42, and the contact member 5 covers the end face of the second section 42 close to the second bottom wall 14, for example, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The contact member 5 has a second mounting groove 51, wherein at least part of the outer peripheral wall of the second section 42 is fixedly connected with the inner peripheral wall of the second mounting groove 51, for example, through interference fit between the inner peripheral wall of the second mounting groove 51 and the part of the outer peripheral wall of the second section 42 to realize the fixed connection between the contact member 5 and the magnetic member 4, at the same time, the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 51 covers the end face of the second section 42 close to the second bottom wall 14, specifically, the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 51 can be abutted with the lower end face of the second section 42 to realize the covering of the lower end face of the second section 42, or along the first direction X, the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 51 is spaced apart from the lower end face of the second section 42 to realize the covering of the lower end face of the second section 42, which is specifically set according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.
