[0042] In order to make the technical scheme and advantages in the embodiment of the application more clear and obvious, the exemplary embodiments of the application are further described in detail below in combination with the drawings, obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments of the exhaustive. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] The embodiment provides a kind of code table key protection structure, including key device 2, shaft 6;

[0044] Key device 2 includes panel 201, trigger switch 202, positioning hole 203 is set on panel 201, trigger switch 202 is located in positioning hole 203.

[0045] For example, refer to Figures 1-2PCB1 and the key device 2 are both installed in the inner cavity of the shell 12, and the PCB1 is located at the left side of the key device 2. The key device 2 comprises a panel 201 and a trigger switch 202, and the panel 201 is provided with a positioning hole 203, and the trigger switch 202 protrudes to the right side of the panel 201 through the positioning hole 203. By pressing the trigger switch 202 to the left, an electric signal can be generated.

[0046] The shaft 6 is sleeved with a gasket 3 outside, and the outer diameter of the gasket 3 is greater than the diameter of the positioning hole 203.

[0047] For example, referring to Figure 3 The right surface of the shell 12 is provided with a containing hole 14, and the inner cavity of the shell 12 is communicated with the containing hole 14 through a communication hole 13. Referring to Figure 2 The key cap 7 is located in the containing hole 14, the right end of the shaft 6 is fixed with the key cap 7, the left end of the shaft 6 penetrates through the communication hole 13 and extends to the inner cavity of the shell 12, and the left end of the shaft 6 is aligned with the trigger switch 202. The gasket 3 is annular structure, and the gasket 3 is fixedly sleeved on the left end of the shaft 6. At this time, by pressing the key cap 7 to the left, the shaft 6 and the gasket 3 can be driven to move to the left, and the left end of the shaft 6 can press the trigger switch 202.

[0048] Based on the above structure, the code table key protection structure provided by the embodiment can drive the gasket 3 to move synchronously by sleeving the gasket 3 outside the shaft 6 when the key cap 7 is pressed. Since the outer diameter of the gasket 3 is greater than the diameter of the positioning hole 203, the gasket 3 cannot enter the positioning hole 203, which can limit the gasket 3 and further limit the shaft 6, prevent the shaft 6 from moving further, and avoid the situation that the key device 2 is damaged due to excessive force.

[0049] The key device 2 is a prior art and has a rebound function. That is, after the trigger switch 202 is pressed, it can automatically rebound to the initial position. Meanwhile, a return spring can be sleeved outside the shaft 6, the right end of the return spring abuts against the key cap 7, and the left end of the return spring abuts against the surrounding sidewall of the right end of the communication hole 13. When the key cap 7 moves to the left, the return spring is compressed, and after losing external force, the return spring restores, and the key cap 7 returns to the initial position.

[0050] On the basis of the above technical scheme, in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, the shaft 6 is sleeved with a snap spring 5 outside, and the snap spring 5 is located in the inner cavity of the shell 12, and the outer diameter of the snap spring 5 is greater than the diameter of the communication hole 13.

[0051] For example, referring to Figures 2-4 The shaft 6 is sleeved with a snap spring 5 outside, and the snap spring 5 is located at the left side of the communication hole 13, and the outer diameter of the snap spring 5 is greater than the diameter of the communication hole 13. In this way, the communication hole 13 can limit the snap spring 5, and further limit the shaft 6, prevent the shaft 6 from moving to the right to be separated from the communication hole 13, and cause the key cap 7 to be separated from the containing hole 14.

[0052] The inner embedded annular groove can be coaxially arranged on the side wall of the shaft 6, and the snap spring 5 is sleeved in the annular groove.

[0053] For example, referring to Figure 2 The inner diameter of the snap spring 5 is smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft 6, so that the annular groove can limit the snap spring 5, and the snap spring 5 cannot be separated from the annular groove, that is, the snap spring 5 cannot be separated from the shaft 6.

[0054] The gasket 3 is arranged on the side of the snap spring 5 away from the key cap 7.

[0055] Further, the gasket 3 is pasted on the snap spring 5 by the back adhesive 4.

[0056] For example, referring to Figures 3-4 The gasket 3 can be a metal gasket. The gasket 3 is pasted on the left side of the snap spring 5 by the back adhesive 4. Not only the structure is stable and firm, but also the operation is more convenient by using the pasting fixing mode.

[0057] In the technical scheme provided in the embodiment, the receiving hole 14 is provided with a guide column 8, and the key cap 7 is provided with a guide groove 10 matched with the guide column 8.

[0058] For example, referring to Figures 2-3 Two guide columns 8 are arranged on the inner wall of the receiving hole 14, and the guide column 8, the shaft 6 and the communication hole 13 are parallel. Two guide grooves 10 are arranged on the left side wall of the key cap 7, the two guide grooves 10 correspond to the two guide columns 8 one by one, the guide column 8 is embedded in the corresponding guide groove 10, and the guide column 8 and the corresponding guide groove 10 are in sliding fit. In this way, when the key cap 7 is pressed to the left, the guide column 8 can play a guiding role, so that the key cap 7 can stably slide left and right, and the stable pressing of the trigger switch 202 can be ensured.

[0059] The guide column 8 is sleeved with a limiting boss 9 on the outer side.

[0060] The limiting boss 9 can play a limiting role to prevent the key cap 7 from moving too much to the left. In cooperation with the gasket 3, a double protection effect can be achieved to prevent the key device 2 from being damaged due to excessive force.

[0061] Further, a limiting face 11 is arranged at the entrance of the guide groove 10.

[0062] For example, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The limiting face 11 is arranged at the left end entrance of the guide groove 10. The limiting face 11 is similar to a chamfer structure. When the key cap 7 moves to the left, the limiting face 11 can first contact the guide column 8. At this time, the limiting face 11 can play a guiding role, which is conducive to the rapid entry of the guide column 8 into the guide groove 10, and avoids the resistance between the guide column 8 and the key cap 7. The installation efficiency can be improved, and the stability of the left and right sliding of the key cap 7 can be ensured.

[0063] The embodiment also provides a code table comprising the code table key protection structure.
