Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of touch panel technology, and in particular to a full-area touch panel with a plastic support structure. Background Technology

[0002] A full-area touchpad is a touch input device that can be pressed across the entire surface. Compared to traditional touchpads, it offers significant improvements in user experience and functionality, and is now widely used in devices such as laptops and tablet keyboards. Existing touchpads have complex structures, leading to high production costs. Furthermore, the complex installation process and susceptibility to mechanical interference result in low production efficiency. To address these issues, patent application number 202311562646.4 discloses a touchpad and a laptop, comprising a touchpad body, a support frame, and a conductor. The touchpad body includes a touch layer and a circuit board. The support frame includes an outer iron piece and a connecting bracket. The outer iron piece is positioned on the other side of the circuit board, forming a gap between it and the board. The connecting bracket is positioned between the outer iron piece and the circuit board and connected to the circuit board. One end of the conductor abuts against the side of the outer iron piece away from the circuit board, and the other end passes through the outer iron piece and is threaded to the circuit board. This allows for detachable installation between the touchpad body and the outer iron piece, facilitating rework and repair. Simultaneously, the conductor replaces traditional double-sided tape, plastic brackets, positioning structures, and conductive cloth, reducing the number of components required for the touchpad, thus lowering production costs and processing steps, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. The above-mentioned patent has the following problems when used: the existing method is to install the full-area touch panel on the electronic device by using screws and its connectors. However, fixing the full-area touch panel with screws not only requires tools to operate, but also makes it easy to lose the screws.

The plastic pressing bracket includes a fixing plate, two pressing plates, multiple elastic strips, and contacts or adjusting screws. The fixing plate is used to fix it to the base shell and includes two first openings arranged symmetrically about its center. The two pressing plates are respectively arranged in one of the first openings and are arranged away from the center. One end of the elastic strip is connected to the fixing plate near the center, and the other end extends toward the pressing plate and is connected to the pressing plate. That is, one end of the elastic strip extends from the side of the first opening near the center of the fixing plate to the side of the first opening away from the center of the fixing plate. The number of elastic strips can be set to four, with two set on one side of one of the first openings and the other two set on one side of the other first opening; used to support the full-area touch panel body 3 and achieve a rebound effect; the specific structure and working material of the plastic pressing bracket can be referred to the patent document with application number: 202321265324.9, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here; The fixing mechanism includes a connecting plate 41, a fixing rod 42, a slot 43, a groove 44, a deformation groove 45, and a card slot 46. Multiple connecting plates 41 are fixedly connected to the plastic pressing bracket. The connecting plates 41 have slots 43. Multiple fixing rods 42 are fixedly connected to the base plate 2. The multiple fixing rods 42 correspond to the multiple connecting plates 41 respectively. The fixing rods 42 are inserted into the slots 43. One end of the multiple fixing rods 42 is engaged with the same card strip 6. Through the cooperative design between the base plate 2, the fixing mechanism 4, the full-area touch panel body 3, and the card strip 6, and through the insertion between the connecting plate 41 and the fixing rod 42, and the engagement between the card strip 6 and the fixing rod 42, the full-area touch panel body 3 can be quickly assembled and disassembled without the need for additional tools.

[0020] In this embodiment, a slot 46 is provided at one end of the fixing rod 42, and the locking strip 6 is connected to the slot 46. During the process of squeezing the locking strip 6 into the slot 46, the locking strip 6 causes the fixing rod 42 to expand and deform to both sides, and causes the connecting plate 41 to connect with the groove 44.

[0021] In this embodiment, a deformation groove 45 is provided on the fixing rod 42, and the deformation groove 45 is connected to the slot 46, which facilitates the deformation of the fixing rod 42 and facilitates the installation of the card strip 6 in the slot 46.

[0022] In this embodiment, a groove 44 is provided on the fixing rod 42. The groove 44 is adapted to the slot 43. Through the cooperation between the groove 44 and the slot 43, the fixing rod 42 has sufficient deformation space.

[0023] In this embodiment, a fixing seat 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the card strip 6. The fixing seat 5 is fixedly installed on the base plate 2 and is a detachable connection. It is used to fix the card strip 6. The fixing seat 5 can not only limit the position of the card strip 6, but also prevent the card strip 6 from being lost.

[0024] In this embodiment, all of the fixing rods 42 are deformable and have toughness, and all of the fixing rods 42 are made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing rod 42 is adapted to the slot 43, which facilitates the insertion of the fixing rod 42 into the connecting plate 41, and the locking strip 6 is adapted to the slot 46, which facilitates the locking strip 6 into the slot 46.

[0026] In this embodiment, the material of the clip 6 is rubber, which makes the clip 6 malleable, thereby making it easy for the clip 6 to be engaged with the fixing rod 42 at different positions, thus improving flexibility.

[0027] Working principle: In use, firstly, the slots 43 on the multiple connecting plates 41 are respectively aligned with the multiple fixing rods 42, so that the fixing rods 42 pass through the slots 43 and the grooves 44 correspond to the slots 43. Then, the locking strips 6 are sequentially engaged with the slots 46 at one end of the multiple fixing rods 42. During this process, when the locking strips 6 are engaged with the slots 46, the deformation grooves 45 act as a guide, and because the fixing rods 42 can deform and are flexible, the fixing rods 42 deform towards both sides of the deformation grooves 45, thus connecting the connecting plates 41 with the grooves 44 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown), at this time, the interaction between the groove 44 and the connecting plate 41 achieves the effect of limiting and fixing the full-area touch panel body 3, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation of the full-area touch panel body 3. Conversely, it can achieve the effect of quick disassembly of the full-area touch panel body 3 (in the process of disassembling the full-area touch panel body 3, the shell 1 is first disassembled, then the base plate 2 is removed and the connecting line between the full-area touch panel body 3 and the base plate 2 is removed) without the need for additional tools.

[0028] The technological advancement of this utility model compared to the prior art is that, through the cooperation of various components, the main body 3 of the full-area touch panel can be quickly assembled and disassembled without the aid of tools, which greatly improves convenience and efficiency. Moreover, the structure is simple and the practicality is higher.
