[0026] Specific implementation, the diagonal distribution design of micro switch 7 ensures that cross key cap 1 can accurately trigger the micro switch 7 of corresponding direction when pressing in any direction, reduces false touch, changes the compression stroke of its compression spring 8 by adjusting knob 2, realizes the adjustment of key force.

[0027] As Figure 6 And Figure 7As shown, hooks 11 can be provided on both sides of the bottom of the circular insertion part of the cross keycap 1. A slot 12 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the insertion part of the cross keycap 1. The top of the inner suspension bracket 91 is provided with a circular frame 917 surrounding the outside of the rectangular frame 915 and used for the insertion and positioning of the circular insertion part of the cross keycap 1. A second joint and a positioning block 918 with a shape corresponding to the slot 12 are provided between the circular frame 917 and the rectangular frame 915. Slots 919 with positions corresponding to the two hooks 11 are provided on both sides of the second joint.

[0028] The cross keycap 1 triggers directional commands by pressing or flicking. It uses a hook 11 to cooperate with the slot 919 of the inner floating bracket 91 to achieve quick installation and removal. The slot 12 corresponds to the positioning block 918 to avoid misalignment or loosening. The top of the cross keycap 1 can also be covered with soft rubber to improve grip comfort and prevent key wear.

[0029] Specifically, the connector 10 can be configured as a gear shaft with open ends and internal threads 101 on the inner walls of the openings.

In this embodiment, the shape of the adjustment slot 21 is not limited. The external thread 22 cooperates with the internal thread 101 of the gear shaft to achieve up and down movement. Pushing the movable push rod 3 can adjust the preload of the compression spring 8.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the top plate of the movable push rod 3 can be set as a rectangular structure. The support rod 31 has four vertically downwards and is centrally symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the top plate. The bottom end of the four support rods 31 is provided with an arc-shaped step 311 for abutting the compression spring 8. The top of the inner suspension bracket 91 is provided with a rectangular frame 915 with the shape of the rectangular top of the movable push rod 3. The inner wall of the rectangular frame 915 is connected to the outer wall of the limiting shaft 911 and is provided with a first joint. The first joint is provided with a through groove 916 for the four support rods 31 to pass through.

[0033] Preferably, the rectangular top plate and the four center-symmetric support rods of the movable push rod 3 ensure balanced force, convert the rotary motion of the adjustment knob 2 into vertical linear motion, compress or release the spring, and avoid the inclination of the movable push rod 3 leading to uneven force on the spring.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two inner side walls of the fixed support 5 can be respectively provided with first rotating shafts 51, the frame body shape of the outer suspension support 92 is matched with the frame body shape of the fixed support 5, and the two inner sides of the outer suspension support 92 are provided with first circular holes 921 corresponding to the first rotating shafts 51.

[0036] The double-axis hinged design of the inner suspension support 91, the outer suspension support 92 and the fixed support 5 realizes the front-back and left-right swinging of the cross key cap 1, supports oblique operation, and can transmit multi-directional pressing action.

[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The bottom end of the fixed support 5 can be provided with a limiting circular ring 52 for limiting the bottom end of the compression spring 8, the bottom end of the fixed support 5 is provided with a partition strip 53 distributed in a cross shape and connected to the inner wall and the outer wall of the limiting circular ring 52, the limiting circular ring 52 can prevent the spring from deviating or tilting, ensure that the compression spring 8 is always compressed in the vertical direction, and improve the linearity and reliability of the force adjustment.

[0038] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0039] When the cross key cap 1 is removed, the adjustment knob 2 rotates under the action of external force through the top cross adjustment clamping 21, the rotary motion of the adjustment knob 2 is converted into the up-down movement of the movable push rod 3, the compression spring 8 is correspondingly stretched and contracted up and down, so that different spring force changes are obtained after the compression stroke of the compression spring 8 is changed. When the cross key cap 1 is put back and a key is pressed in a certain direction, the force is transmitted to the movable push rod 3 and the compression spring 8 through the inner suspension support 91, the key contact 912 at the bottom of the inner suspension support 91 triggers the switch contact 71 of the micro switch 7, and different force experience can be obtained, that is, the demand of key force adjustment is completed.

[0040] In summary, the compression stroke of the compression spring is changed by rotating the adjustment knob, so that the required force of the key trigger is adjusted, and the design of the universal suspension assembly takes into account the flexibility of operating the key and the stability of the force adjustment, so that the user can obtain different key force experience, better meet the personalized needs of the user, and significantly improve the user experience.
