Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone button technology, specifically a composite silicone button. Background Technology

[0002] Silicone is a high-molecular elastomer with excellent flexibility, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Silicone buttons are made of silicone material, and there is a certain gap between the buttons. In order to make laptops thinner and lighter, they all use silicone buttons, and a whole keycap is installed on top of the silicone button. Separating the keycap from the silicone button requires ensuring that the position of each keycap and silicone button is accurate, which increases the installation time and reduces the assembly efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a modular silicone button. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular silicone button to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined silicone button, comprising a silicone button body, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of convex key bodies, the convex key bodies being inserted into and fitted with a left reinforcing plate, the left reinforcing plate being threadedly connected to one end of a limiting rod, the limiting rod being fitted with a spring, the limiting rod being fitted with an elastic metal sheet, the limiting rod being slidably connected to a keycap, and the limiting rod being slidably and tightly pressed against a right reinforcing plate.

[0006] Preferably, the right reinforcing plate is inserted into the right side of the protruding key body, and the right reinforcing plate has a groove for a limit rod through hole.

[0007] Preferably, the convex key body is slidably connected to the keycap, and the convex key body has an elastic metal sheet mounting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the inner side of the elastic metal sheet is tightly pressed against one end of two springs, and the other end of each spring is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the keycap.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the keycap is tightly pressed against one end of the second spring, and the second spring is tightly pressed against the elastic metal sheet.

[0010] Preferably, an extension block is provided at the central axis of the elastic metal sheet, and one end of the extension block passes through the silicone button body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention uses a convex key body to connect with a left reinforcing plate and a right reinforcing plate. The left and right reinforcing plates, together with a limiting rod, slide to connect the keycap. Springs are tightly fitted on both sides of the keycap, and spring two is tightly fitted on the bottom of the keycap. Spring two tightly presses against an elastic metal plate, and the elastic metal plate tightly presses against the spring, thereby forming a silicone key with its own keycap, reducing calibration time and improving production efficiency.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The illustration shows a modular silicone keypad, comprising a silicone keypad body 1. The surface of the silicone keypad body 1 has multiple protruding key bodies 2. The protruding key bodies 2 are inserted into and fitted with a left reinforcing plate 3. The left reinforcing plate 3 is threadedly connected to one end of a limiting rod 4. A spring 5 is fitted onto the limiting rod 4. An elastic metal sheet 6 is fitted onto the limiting rod 4. The limiting rod 4 slidably connects to a keycap 7. The limiting rod 4 slidably and tightly presses against a right reinforcing plate 8. The protruding key bodies are inserted into and fitted with the left and right reinforcing plates. The left and right reinforcing plates, in conjunction with the limiting rod, slidably connect to the keycap. Springs are tightly fitted on both sides of the keycap, and a second spring is tightly fitted on the bottom surface of the keycap. The second spring tightly presses against the elastic metal sheet, and the elastic metal sheet tightly presses against the spring, thus forming a silicone keypad with a built-in keycap, reducing calibration time and improving production efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the right reinforcing plate 8 is inserted into the right side of the convex key body 2, and the right reinforcing plate 8 has a limit rod through hole groove, which makes the installation and disassembly of the limit rod convenient.

[0021] Furthermore, the convex key body 2 is slidably connected to the keycap 7. The convex key body 2 has an elastic metal sheet mounting groove. The elastic metal sheet mounting groove on the inner side of the convex key body not only facilitates the installation of the elastic metal sheet, but also effectively checks whether it is installed in place.

[0022] Furthermore, the inner side of the elastic metal sheet 6 is tightly pressed against one end of two springs 5, and the other end of each spring 5 is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the keycap 7. By tightly pressing the springs on the inner side of the elastic metal sheet, when the keycap is pressed down, the keycap squeezes the elastic metal sheet to produce displacement and deformation. The springs and spring 2 effectively ensure that the elastic metal sheet automatically returns to its original position.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of keycap 7 is tightly pressed against one end of spring 2 9, and spring 2 9 is tightly pressed against elastic metal sheet 6. Spring 2 is tightly pressed against the bottom surface of keycap, and spring 2 is installed in the elastic metal sheet mounting groove, which ensures the stability of spring 2 and also allows keycap to automatically reset.

[0024] Furthermore, an extension block 601 is provided at the central axis of the elastic metal sheet 6. One end of the extension block 601 passes through the silicone key body 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the elastic metal sheet. At the same time, the extension block can slide to connect to the silicone key body to ensure that the keycap can be accurately transmitted to the electronic panel when it is pressed.

[0025] In this solution, the assembly process is as follows: First, place the silicone button body 1 flat on a clean workbench with the convex button body 2 facing upwards.

[0026] Align the left reinforcing plate 3 with the left edge of the silicone button body 1, ensuring that the left reinforcing plate is inserted into the insertion hole of the convex button body 2.

[0027] Then, align the right reinforcing plate 8 with the right edge of the silicone button body 1, ensuring that the right reinforcing plate 8 is inserted into the insertion hole of the convex button body 2;

[0028] Then the elastic metal plate 6 is placed inside the elastic metal plate groove of the convex key body 2;

[0029] Then fold the silicone button body 1 to ensure the limiting rod 4 is easy to install;

[0030] Pass the threaded end of the limiting rod 4 through the right reinforcing plate 8 and extend it into the inside of the convex key body 2. Then pass the threaded end of the limiting rod 4 through the elastic metal plate 6 and through a spring 5. At this time, put the spring 9 into the groove of the elastic metal plate, and then put in the keycap 7, ensuring that the keycap 7 tightly presses against the spring 9. Then pass the threaded end of the limiting rod 4 through the keycap 7, the spring 5, and the elastic metal plate 6, and use a hex wrench to thread-connect the left reinforcing plate 3. At this time, the assembly is complete. Manually press the keycap 7 to ensure that the keycap 7 can slide up and down.
