[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a braking device, a wheel body assembly, and a walking aid.

Background Art

[0002] An assisted walking device such as a walking aid can assist the walking of people with limited motor ability, such as patients with lesions in the lower limbs and the elderly. For example, a walking aid is a support frame, and the user supports the support frame with both hands, lifts the support frame during walking and moves it, and can achieve the purpose of moving the body.

[0003] As a result of long-term research and development, the applicant of the present invention has discovered that the user always needs to lift the support frame during walking, which is more burdensome, has a slower moving speed, and is inconvenient to use. Currently, although wheels are provided at the bottom of the support frame to increase flexibility, the supporting force and speed given to the user during the moving process cannot be controlled, so the user is prone to falling and the safety is worse. When braking through a braking device, the operation requirements of the user become higher, and an emergency stop of the brake is also dangerous.

When the housing rotates relative to the shaft body, the coil can cut the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly to generate a resistance in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the housing or the shaft body. One of the magnetic induction member and the magnet assembly is connected to the shaft body, and the other is connected to the housing.

[0006] To solve the above technical problem, another technical solution adopted in the present invention is to provide a wheel body assembly, and the wheel body assembly includes equipped with a braking device as described above. Here, since the housing is used as a wheel body, it is provided in an annular shape, or equipped with a braking device and a wheel body as described above, and the wheel body is connected to the housing or the shaft body.

[0007] To solve the above technical problem, another technical solution adopted in the present invention is to provide a walking aid, and the walking aid includes a main body frame and a wheel body assembly as described above, and the wheel body assembly is rotatably connected to the bottom of the main body frame.

[0008] The braking device of the present invention includes a shaft body, a housing, a magnetic induction member, and a magnet assembly. The housing is sleeved on the shaft body and arranged coaxially with the shaft body. The housing is rotatable relative to the shaft body. A coil is wound around the magnetic induction member. The magnet assembly includes a plurality of magnets arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the shaft body. Here, one of the magnetic induction member and the magnet assembly is connected to the shaft body, and the other is connected to the housing. When the housing rotates relative to the shaft body, the coil cuts the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly, generating a resistance in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the housing or the shaft body, and can play a braking role for the wheel body integrally formed with or connected to the braking device. Moreover, its braking force is not frictional braking and is related to the rotation of the housing or the shaft body, so it does not generate an emergency stop effect, has higher safety, can also reduce wear, and extend the service life of the braking device.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, together with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. However, it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0011] The terms "first" and "second" in the present invention are used for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor do they implicitly specify the number of the technical features shown. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless explicitly and specifically limited. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "including" and all their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, and may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product or apparatus. On the other hand, the term "and / or" is merely an explanation of the relationship of related objects and indicates that there are three possible relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent A alone, both A and B, and B alone. Also, the symbol " / " in this specification generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0012] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a first embodiment of the braking device 10 of the present invention includes a shaft body 100, a housing 200, a magnetic induction member 310, and a magnet assembly 320. The housing 200 is sleeved on the shaft body 100 and is arranged coaxially with the shaft body 100. The housing 200 is rotatable relative to the shaft body 100. A coil 311 is wound around the magnetic induction member 310. The magnet assembly 320 includes a plurality of magnets arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100. Here, one of the magnetic induction member 310 and the magnet assembly 320 is connected to the shaft body 100, and the other is connected to the housing 200. When the housing 200 rotates relative to the shaft body 100, the coil 311 cuts the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320, generating a resistance opposite to the rotation direction of the housing 200 or the shaft body 100, enabling the braking device 10 to play a braking role. Moreover, its braking force is not frictional braking and is related to the rotation of the housing 200 or the shaft body 100, so it does not produce an emergency stop effect, has higher safety, can also reduce wear, extend the service life of the braking device 10, and at the same time, its structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0013] In this embodiment, the braking device 10 may further include a tire 400. The tire 400 is sleeved on the housing 200 and can play a role in vibration damping.

[0014] Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, the magnet may include a first magnet 321 and a second magnet 322. In this embodiment, the first magnet 321 and the second magnet 322 are taken as examples for description. The magnet assembly 320 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 5 at a speed v, the magnetic induction member 310 is stationary, the magnetic field intensities generated by the first magnet 321 and the second magnet 322 are B1 and B2 respectively, the magnetic pole of the first magnet 321 facing the magnetic induction member 310 is the north pole, the magnetic pole of the second magnet 322 facing the magnetic induction member 310 is the south pole, the portions cutting the magnetic induction lines of the coil 311 are the c-side portion and the d-side portion, the length of the projection in the direction of cutting the magnetic induction lines of the coil 311 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100) (i.e., the length of the c-side portion or the d-side portion along the axial direction of the shaft body 100) is denoted as L, the direction of the induced current generated by the c-side portion is taken as the forward direction shown in FIG. 5, and the direction of the induced current generated by the d-side portion is taken as the reverse direction shown in FIG. 5. Then, the Ampere force generated by the c-side portion is Fc = nB1Lv, and the Ampere force generated by the d-side portion is Fd = nB2Lv. Here, n is the number of turns of the coil 311. Since the directions of both Ampere forces are clockwise, the resultant force of the two is F resultant = nB1Lv + nB2Lv. Since the magnetic field intensities generated by the first magnet 321 and the second magnet 322 are equal, i.e., B1 = B2 = B, F resultant = 2 * nBLv.

[0015] In this embodiment, the resistance is in a forward relationship with the rotational speed of the housing 200 or the shaft body 100, and can also be obtained from F resultant = 2 * nBLv. That is, the higher the rotational speed of the housing 200, the greater the resistance in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the housing 200 generated by the coil 311 cutting the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320. Therefore, when the rotational speed of the braking device 10 remains unchanged, a certain braking force can be provided, and the stability is better. On the other hand, when the rotational speed of the braking device 10 increases, a greater braking force can be provided, so that it can prevent the moving speed of the braking device 10 from becoming too fast and improve the safety.

[0016] In this embodiment, the number of magnets is an even number, and the plurality of magnets are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the shaft body 100. Therefore, the distribution of the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 can be made more uniform, and thus, the resistance generated by the coil 311 cutting the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 can be made more stable.

[0017] In this embodiment, the magnetic poles of two magnets symmetrical with respect to the axis 100 are set in the same direction, and the magnetic poles of two adjacent magnets are set in opposite directions. Here, if the mounting direction of the magnetic poles of the magnets is defined as the direction facing the axis of the shaft body 100 and the direction facing away from the axis of the shaft body 100, the magnetic poles of the two magnets are in the same direction, that is, the magnetic poles of the two magnets all face the axis of the shaft body 100 or face away from the axis of the shaft body 100, and the magnetic poles of the two magnets are in opposite directions, that is, one magnetic pole of the two magnets faces the axis of the shaft body 100 and the other magnetic pole faces away from the axis of the shaft body 100. With the above setting of the magnets, the distribution of the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 can be made more uniform, and thus, the resistance generated by the coil 311 cutting the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 can be made more stable.

[0018] In this embodiment, the magnetic induction member 310 includes a main body portion 312 and a plurality of mounting portions 313 provided at intervals along the outer periphery of the main body portion 312. Since the coil 311 is wound around the mounting portions 313, the relative position between the coil 311 and the magnetic induction member 310 can be made more stable.

[0019] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 313 may be provided in an "I" shape, which can facilitate the winding of the coil 311, limit the position of the coil 311, prevent the coil 311 from falling off from the mounting portion 313 in a direction away from the shaft body 100, and make the overall structure of the coil 311 and the magnetic induction member 310 more stable.

[0020] In other embodiments, the mounting portion 313 may be provided linearly to enable winding of the coil 311, and is not limited herein.

[0021] In this embodiment, the maximum width of the coil 311 on the mounting portion 313 along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100 is equal to the width of the magnet along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100, and the maximum length of the coil 311 on the mounting portion 313 along the axial direction of the shaft body 100 is greater than or equal to the length along the axial direction of the magnet shaft body 100. Thus, the coil 311 can continuously cut the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 during movement relative to the magnet, thereby continuously generating resistance and improving the stability of the resistance.

[0022] In other embodiments, the maximum width of the coil 311 on the mounting portion 313 along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100 can also be made larger than the width of the magnet along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100, and is not limited herein.

[0023] In this embodiment, the difference between the maximum width of the coil 311 on the mounting portion 313 along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100 and the width of the magnet along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100 is a, and the width of the magnet along the circumferential direction of the shaft body 100 is b. Here, the ratio of a to b is 10% or less, for example, 10%, 8% or 5%. When a is 0, the coil 311 can continuously cut the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 320 during movement relative to the magnet. When a is greater than 0, both sides of the coil 311 will be in the regions corresponding to the same magnetic pole simultaneously for a certain period of time, the current generated in the coil 311 will be 0, and the resistance will be intermittent.

[0024] In this embodiment, the number of magnets is greater than the number of mounting portions 313, and the difference between the number of magnets and the number of mounting portions 313 is a positive integer. Thus, the role of the magnetic field generated by the magnets on the coil 311 can be made continuous without interruption, thereby continuously generating resistance and improving the stability of the resistance.

[0025] In this embodiment, all the coils 311 on the plurality of mounting portions 313 are combined to form a closed loop. Specifically, all the coils 311 can be short-circuited and not connected to other devices. In other embodiments, devices such as switches and resistors can also be externally connected. However, the closed loop in this embodiment does not include devices such as drivers, that is, the current generated by the coils 311 in this embodiment is only used to generate Ampere force or mainly used to generate Ampere force.

[0026] In other embodiments, the coils 311 on each of the plurality of mounting portions 313 may form a closed loop, or the coils 311 on at least two of the plurality of mounting portions 313 may be combined to form a closed loop, which is not limited here.

[0027] In this embodiment, a receiving space is formed in the housing 200, and an opening (not shown) is formed on one side of the housing 200 in the receiving space. The magnetic induction member 310 and the magnet assembly 320 are provided in the receiving space. The braking device 10 further includes a cover plate 510. The cover plate 510 covers the opening, plays a role in protecting components such as the magnetic induction member 310 and the magnet assembly 320, and makes the braking device 10 have a more regular appearance.

[0028] In this embodiment, between the cover plate 510 and the shaft body 100, and between the cover plate 510 and the housing 200, they can be fixedly connected by screws respectively. In other embodiments, between the cover plate 510 and the housing 200, they can also be connected by snaps, welding, or pastes, etc., which is not limited here.

[0029] In this embodiment, the braking device 10 may further include a first bearing 520 and a second bearing 530. The first bearing 520 is provided between the shaft body 100 and the housing 200, and the second bearing 530 is provided between the shaft body 100 and the cover plate 510. By providing the first bearing 520 and the second bearing 530, the frictional force between the shaft body 100 and the housing 200, and between the shaft body 100 and the cover plate 510 can be reduced, and it also plays a role in supporting the shaft body 100, and the service life of the shaft body 100, the housing 200, and the cover plate 510 can be prolonged.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, a second embodiment of the braking device 10 of the present invention includes a shaft body 100, a housing 200, a magnetic induction mechanism 300, and an adjustment mechanism 610. The magnetic induction mechanism 300 is provided in the housing 200 and is used to generate a resistance opposite to the rotation direction of the housing with respect to the housing or a resistance opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft body with respect to the shaft body through magnetic field reaction when the housing 200 is rotated. The adjustment mechanism 610 is connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300 and is used to adjust the magnitude of the resistance. Here, the magnetic induction mechanism 300 includes a magnetic induction member 310 and a magnet assembly 320. The structures of the shaft body 100, the housing 200, the magnetic induction member 310, and the magnet assembly 320 can refer to the first embodiment of the braking device 10 described above, and will not be described repeatedly here. By providing the adjustment mechanism 610 to automatically adjust the resistance, the application range of the braking device 10 can be made wider and more intelligent.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 12 together, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 610 includes an adjustment member 611 and at least one resistor 612. The adjustment member 611 is electrically connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300 and is provided with a first connection portion 6111. At both ends of at least one resistor 612, at least two second connection portions 6121 are respectively provided. The adjustment member 611 is movable relative to the resistor 612, whereby the first connection portion 6111 is electrically connected to one of the at least two second connection portions 6121, so that the magnetic induction mechanism 300 can be connected to loads having different resistances, enabling adjustment of the resistance.

[0032] In this embodiment, the braking device 10 may further include a first support tube 613. At least one resistor 612 is provided on the first support tube 613. The adjustment member 611 is provided in a ring shape and can rotate relative to the first support tube 613. The first connection portion 6111 is formed in a groove on the outer periphery of the adjustment member 611. The outer peripheral surface of the adjustment member 611 is insulated except for the groove, and the groove has conductivity. The second connection portion 6121 includes a contact member 6122 and a first elastic member 6123. The contact member 6122 is electrically connected to the resistor 612. The first elastic member 6123 is used to apply an elastic force to the contact member 6122 so that the contact member 6122 contacts the outer periphery of the adjustment member 611. When the first connection portion 6111 rotates and faces the second connection portion 6121, the contact member 6122 can contact the first connection portion 6111, and the contact member 6122 can be electrically connected to the first connection portion 6111.

[0033] In this embodiment, an annular groove 6112 is formed on the outer periphery of the adjustment member 611. The first connection portion 6111 is recessed with respect to the annular groove 6112. The end of the contact member 6122 is provided to protrude in an arc shape, so that at least a part of the contact member 6122 is embedded in the annular groove 6112, realizing the limit of the contact member 6122 in the axial direction of the first support tube 613, avoiding the contact member 6122 from detaching from the adjustment member 611, and improving the reliability of the braking device 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the braking device 10 may include a second support tube 614 and a knob 615 connected to the second support tube 614. The second support tube 614 is provided in a nested manner with the first support tube 613, and the adjusting member 611 is provided on the second support tube 614. Thereby, the adjusting member 611 can rotate together with the knob 615. The knob 615 can receive a force and rotate, and thus the adjusting member 611 can be driven to rotate to achieve adjustment. By providing the knob 615, the adjustment of the adjustment mechanism 610 can be realized, the adjustment operation can be made more convenient, the occupied space of the knob 615 is small, and the overall structure of the adjustment mechanism 610 becomes more compact.

[0035] Referring also to FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the braking device 10 may further include a casing 616. The adjusting member 611 and the resistor 612 are provided in the casing 616. An opening 6161 is formed at one end of the casing 616 away from the knob 165. The opening 6161 is provided in a polygonal shape. A limiting member 6141 and a second elastic member 6142 are provided at one end of the second support tube 614 away from the knob 615. The second elastic member 6142 is used to apply an elastic force to the limiting member 6141 so that the limiting member 6141 can abut against the casing 616 during the rotation of the second support tube 614.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the opening 6161 includes a plurality of receiving ports 6162 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first support tube 613. When the limit member 6141 is rotated to the receiving port 6162, the compression distance of the second elastic member 6142 becomes 0, so that the limit member 6141 is separated from the casing 616, or the limit member 6141 abuts against the casing 616, but the force acting on the casing 616 becomes 0. At this time, the first connection portion 6111 abuts against one of the second connection portions 6121. When the limit member 6141 is rotated between the two receiving ports 6162, the limit member 6141 abuts against the casing 616, but the force acting on the casing 616 becomes greater than 0. At this time, the first connection portion 6111 does not abut against one of the second connection portions 6121 either. In the process of rotating the knob 615, the user can sense whether the knob 615 has been rotated to a predetermined gear.

[0037] In other embodiments, the adjusting member 611 may be a sliding body provided linearly or arcuately. The adjusting member 611 may slide relative to the resistor 612 so that the second connection portion 6121 is electrically connected to the first connection portion 6111.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of the resistors 612 is plural. The plural resistors 612 form a plurality of resistor groups. Each resistor group includes at least one resistor 612. The plural resistor groups are provided at intervals along the axial direction of the first support tube 613. The number of the adjusting members 611 is plural and is the same as the number of the resistor groups. The plural adjusting members 611 are provided at intervals along the axial direction of the first support tube 613 and correspond one-to-one to the resistor groups respectively. Therefore, the magnetic induction mechanism 300 is connected to loads having different resistances, and the adjustment of the resistance becomes more flexible, with a wider range and more adaptability.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 14 together, for example, in this embodiment, the number of resistor groups is 3, which are used to be respectively connected to the three wirings of the magnetic induction mechanism 300. Each resistor group includes four resistors 612. The four resistors 612 are located in the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the first support tube 613. The four resistors 612 in each resistor group are connected in series. One ends of the three resistor groups are connected to each other. Second connection portions 6121 corresponding to a plurality of gears are respectively provided between the respective resistors 612 and at the other end of the resistor group. For example, three resistors 612 can be connected in the first speed gear, and six resistors 612 can be connected in the second speed gear.

[0040] In other embodiments, the magnetic induction mechanism 300 may be directly connected to the adjustment mechanism 610 by guiding two wirings, or the magnetic induction mechanism 300 may be connected to the adjustment mechanism 610 via two wirings after guiding two or three wirings and passing through a rectification mechanism (not shown), which is not limited herein.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 1, 15 to 17, a third embodiment of the braking device 10 of the present invention includes a shaft body 100, a housing 200, a magnetic induction mechanism 300, and an adjustment mechanism 620. The structures of the shaft body 100, the housing 200, and the magnetic induction mechanism 300 may refer to the second embodiment of the braking device 10 described above, and will not be repeatedly described here. The adjustment mechanism 620 is connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300 and is used to adjust the magnitude of resistance.

[0042] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 620 includes an adjustment member and at least one resistor 622. The adjustment member includes at least one key 621, and a conduction portion 6211 is provided on the key 621. The braking device 10 further includes a first connection portion 6221 and a second connection portion 6222 that are arranged at intervals. The first connection portion 6221 is electrically connected to one end of the magnetic induction mechanism 300 through the resistor 622, and the second connection portion 6222 is electrically connected to the other end of the magnetic induction mechanism 300. The key 621 can be pressed, so that the conduction portion 6211 conducts the first connection portion 6221 and the second connection portion 6222, and the corresponding resistor 622 as a load can be connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300 to realize the change of resistance. By providing the key 621, the adjustment of the adjustment mechanism 620 can be realized, the touch feeling of adjustment can be made clearer, and the gear adjustment can be made more reliable.

[0043] In other embodiments, one end of the resistor 622 may be connected to one end of the magnetic induction mechanism 300 through the first connection portion 6221, and the other end of the resistor 622 may be connected to the other end of the magnetic induction mechanism 300 through the second connection portion 6222. The key 621 can be pressed, so that the conduction portion 6211 conducts the first connection portion 6221 and the second connection portion 6222, short-circuits the resistor 622, realizes the change of the load connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300, and can realize the change of resistance.

[0044] In this embodiment, the adjustment member includes at least two keys 621, and a conduction portion 6211 is provided on the keys 621. The number of the first connection portion 6221 and the second connection portion 6222 is at least two. The two first connection portions 6221 are respectively connected to both ends of at least one resistor 622, so that when one of the at least two keys 621 is pressed, the conduction portion 6211 conducts one of the at least two first connection portions 6221 and the second connection portion 6222, and the corresponding resistor 622 as a load can be connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300 to realize the change of resistance.

[0045] In this embodiment, at least two keys 621 may be arranged at intervals along a straight line. In other embodiments, at least two keys 621 may be arranged along a curve or other line, which is not limited herein.

[0046] Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19 together, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 620 may further include an elastic return assembly. The elastic return assembly will act on at least two keys 621 respectively. When one of the at least two keys 621 is pressed, the other keys 621 can be bounced, so that the number of connected resistors 622 corresponds to the gears, no interference occurs between the gears, and the circuit is not easily short-circuited, so the reliability and safety are higher.

[0047] In this embodiment, the key 621 includes a key body 6212 and a button 6213 provided at one end of the key body 6212. The conduction part 6211 is provided at the other end of the key body 6212. The elastic return assembly may include a carrier plate 623 and a first limit plate 624. The first limit plate 624 is formed with a first limit slot 6241 in an inverted "L" shape or similar to an inverted "L" shape. The first limit plate 624 includes a limit part 6242 corresponding to the first limit slot 6241. A first elastic member 6244 is provided between the carrier plate 623 and the first limit plate 624. The key body 6212 is further provided with a limit block 6214, and a second elastic member 6215 is sleeved on the key body 6212. Specifically, when the key 621 is not pressed, the limit block 6214 is located above the limit part 6242. During the process of pressing the key 621, the second elastic member 6215 is compressed and deformed. The limit block 6214 acts on the limit part 6242 to cause deformation of the first elastic member 6244. The first limit plate 624 slides relative to the carrier plate 623 (for example, slides to the left in FIG. 23), and the limit block 6214 can enter into the first limit slot 6241. After the first limit plate 624 reaches the bottom of the first limit slot 6241, the first limit plate 624 slides relative to the carrier plate 623 under the action of the first elastic member 6244 (for example, slides to the right in FIG. 23), and the limit block 6214 is restricted below the limit part 6242. When another key 621 is pressed, the first limit plate 624 slides relative to the carrier plate 623 again (for example, slides to the left in FIG. 23), and the limit block 6214 of the key 621 with a limit disengages from the corresponding limit part 6242, and the key 621 can spring back under the action of the second elastic member 6215.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first limit plate 624 is provided with an inclined surface 6243 corresponding to the first limit slot 6241. The inclined surface 6243 can be used to guide the limit block 6214, facilitating the limit block 6214 to slide down along the inclined surface 6243 and engage into the first limit slot 6241, and making the process of pressing the key 621 smoother.

[0049] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 6245 is further formed in the first limit plate 624, and a contact post 6231 is provided on the carrier plate 623. Both the first elastic member 6244 and the contact post 6231 are received in the receiving groove 6245. Since the contact post 6231 is used to contact the first elastic member 6244, the structure and position of the first elastic member 6244 are more stable during the process of being compressed.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 20, in another specific embodiment, the first elastic member 6246 may be further provided at one end of the first limit plate 624 and contact the inner wall of the carrier plate 623, thereby applying an elastic force to the first limit plate 624, with a simpler structure and easier manufacturing.

[0051] In this embodiment, a second limit slot 6232 may be further formed in the carrier plate 623. The limit block 6214 can be received in the second limit slot 6232 and is used to realize the limit on the key 621 in a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction of the key 621 (the horizontal plane shown in FIG. 20). For example, the second limit slot 6232 can realize the limit on the key 621 in the extending direction of the carrier plate 623 (the left - right direction shown in FIG. 20).

[0052] In this embodiment, the key body 6212 is provided in a cylindrical shape, and the second limit slot 6232 can further limit the rotation of the key body 6212. By the rotation of the key body 6212, it is avoided that the limit block 6214 is displaced from the corresponding first limit slot 6241. Consequently, the limit block 6214 is not pushed into the first limit slot 6241, and the reliability of the elastic return assembly can be improved.

[0053] In other embodiments, a corresponding limit slot and a limit protrusion (not shown) may be provided on the key housing 626 carrying the key body 6212 and the key body 6212 respectively, thereby realizing the limit for the key 621 in a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction.

[0054] In other embodiments, in order to prevent the rotation of the key body 6212, the key body 6212 may be directly provided as a rectangular column or a column of other shapes, which is not limited herein.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 20, in another specific embodiment, the elastic return assembly may further include a plurality of second limit plates 625. The plurality of second limit plates 625 are sequentially arranged along the extending direction of the first limit plate 624. A third limit slot 6251 can be formed between two adjacent second limit plates 625, thereby realizing the limit for the key 621 in a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction. Specifically, after the key 621 is pressed, the limit block 6214 acts on two adjacent second limit plates 625, pushing the two adjacent second limit plates 625 out to both sides of the limit block 6214, and the other second limit plates 625 are close to and in contact with each other, thereby forming a third limit slot 6251 for accommodating the limit block 6214 and realizing the limit for the limit block 6214.

[0056] In this embodiment, an inclined surface 6252 may be further formed on the second limit plate 625. The inclined surface 6252 can be used to guide the limit block 6214, facilitating the limit block 6214 to slide down along the inclined surface 6252 and engage into the third limit slot 6251, and enabling the process of pressing the key 621 to be smoother.

The plural resistors 622 form plural resistor groups, each resistor group includes at least one resistor 622, and the plural resistor groups are provided at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the first limit plate 624. The conducting portion 6211 can conduct the corresponding resistors 622 among the plural resistor groups. Therefore, the corresponding resistor 622 as a load can be connected to the magnetic induction mechanism 300, and the change of resistance can be realized.
