[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-3.

[0021] The embodiment of the utility model discloses an ultra-thin mechanical axis button with a display screen.

[0022] 1 and 2 , an ultra-thin mechanical axis key with a display screen includes a base plate 1, a bracket 2, an ultra-thin keycap 3, and a display screen 4 installed in the ultra-thin keycap 3. Multiple peripheral walls of the display screen 4 are respectively pressed against the inner peripheral walls of the keycap 3. A card slot 5 for abutting against the end of the bracket 2 is integrally connected to the keycap 3, and the display screen 4 is arranged to avoid the card slot 5.

[0023] The display screen 4 is directly clamped between the inner walls of the keycap 3, making it easier to fix the display screen 4. There is no need to add additional fixing devices in the keycap 3 to fix the display screen 4, which greatly reduces the impact of the fixation of the display screen 4 on the overall volume of the ultra-thin mechanical axis key. The display screen 4 can be fixed by using the inner walls of the keycap 3, which is conducive to reducing the manpower and material resources required to fix the display screen 4, making the display screen 4 easy to install and disassemble.

[0024] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, the top of the bracket 2 abuts against the bottom of the display screen 4 .

[0025] The bracket 2 abuts against the bottom of the display screen 4, so that the bottom wall of the display screen 4 is restricted in movement by the bracket 2, thereby increasing the direction in which the display screen 4 is restricted in movement, making the display screen 4 more difficult to separate from the keycap 3, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the installation of the display screen 4.

[0026] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, four card slots 5 are provided, and the four top corners of the bracket 2 are respectively inserted into the four card slots 5 , and the four card slots 5 are respectively provided at the four top corners on the inner side of the keycap 3 .

[0027] Four separate card slots 5 are respectively arranged at the four top corners of the keycap 3. On the one hand, the four top corners can firmly fix the bracket 2. On the other hand, since the display screen 4 needs to be set to avoid the position of the card slots 5, the four separate card slots 5 can minimize the occupation of the card slots 5 on the installation position of the display screen 4, increase the area of ​​the keycap 3 where the display screen 4 can be installed, and make the display effect better.

[0028] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, the outer periphery of the card slot 5 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the display screen 4 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. In addition to the two sides of the display screen 4 in the direction of its own thickness, the two sides also include two sides in the first direction 6 and two sides in the second direction 7. The two sides of the display screen 4 in the first direction 6 are respectively clamped and tightly pressed against the opposite side walls of the card slot 5.

[0029] The display screen 4 is in the shape of a rectangular plate, which makes it easier to process and shape. The ends on both sides of the display screen 4 are tightly connected with the side walls of the four card slots 5 respectively. The spacing between the connected card slots 5 can provide space for the display screen 4 to deform, thereby reducing the situation where the display screen 4 is broken due to hard squeezing on both sides.

[0030] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, both sides of the display screen 4 in the second direction 7 are respectively pressed against the two inner side walls of the keycap 3 located in the second direction 7 of the display screen 4 .

[0031] The two sides of the display screen 4 in the first direction 6 are already occupied by the position of the card slot 5 and are difficult to cover. However, there is no obstruction between the two sides of the display screen 4 in the second direction 7 and the inner periphery of the keycap 3. Therefore, this setting is conducive to maximizing the coverage area of ​​the display screen 4. At the same time, it restricts the movement of the display screen 4 in more directions, making the installation of the display screen 4 more stable.

[0032] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, a cable holder 8 is provided on the bottom plate 1 , a cable assembly is electrically connected to the bottom wall of the display screen 4 , and the cable assembly is plugged into the cable holder 8 .

[0033] The cable holder 8 is electrically connected to the cable assembly, thereby realizing signal input and output, making the signal input of the display screen 4 more stable.

[0034] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, the bracket 2 is hollow in the middle, and the cable assembly passes through the hollow middle of the bracket 2 .

[0035] The flat cable passes through the hollow center of the bracket 2, so that the flat cable does not need to be arranged around the bracket 2, reducing the situation where the flat cable group is exposed outside the key, making the overall structure of the key more compact.

[0036] 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, a wire board 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the display screen 4 . The wire board 9 passes through the hollow middle of the bracket 2 , and the cable assembly is fixed and guided by the wire board 9 .

[0037] The setting of the guide plate can prevent the cable assembly from bending and getting stuck between the brackets 2, which is beneficial to protecting the brackets 2 and the cable assembly, reducing the situation where the cable assembly is pulled by the brackets 2 and separated from the cable holder 8, and can protect the cable assembly and reduce the situation where the cable assembly is clamped by the brackets 2, which is beneficial to improving the operating stability of the ultra-thin mechanical axis buttons.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
