[0044] By setting the present limiting mechanism to include a substrate 1, a balance frame body 2 is rotatably arranged on substrate 1, an upper cover 3 is arranged on balance frame, the first balance frame limiting hole 31 for the upper portion of balance frame body 2 is embedded rotation is formed on the both sides of the upper cover 3, the second balance frame limiting hole 11 for the lower portion of balance frame body 2 is embedded rotation is formed on the both sides of the substrate 1, the upper portion of the balance frame body 2 is embedded in the first balance frame limiting hole 31, the lower portion of the balance frame is embedded in the second balance frame limiting hole 11, so as to complete the installation of the balance frame body 2 on the substrate 1, the installation of the upper cover 3 on the balance frame, which is simple in structure, convenient to assemble, and conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0045] For the specific way of rotating operation of the balance frame body 2 corresponding to the embedding of the first balance frame limiting hole 31 and the second balance frame limiting hole 11, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 14, the upper portion of the balance frame body 2 is formed with an upper limiting block 21 embedded in the first balance frame limiting hole 31 for rotation, the lower portion of the balance frame body 2 is formed with a lower limiting block 22 embedded in the second balance frame limiting hole 11 for rotation, the upper limiting block 21 is embedded in the first balance frame limiting hole 31 for rotation, the lower limiting block 22 is embedded in the second balance frame limiting hole 11 for rotation, and the two cooperate with each other to set the balance frame body 2 between the substrate 1 and the upper cover 3, and the balance frame body 2 operates stably after being stressed, the stress is uniform, the transmission of the balance frame body 2 is improved, and the service life of the key switch is guaranteed.

[0046] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1-14, the upper limit block 21 and the lower limit block 22 are both flat strips, which are more suitable for use in the stamping process, and the production cost of the stamped metal material is lower and the production efficiency is higher.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1-14, by making the first gimbal limiting hole 31 M-shaped or gourd-shaped or circular, and the second gimbal limiting hole 11 M-shaped or gourd-shaped or circular, the shapes of the first gimbal limiting hole 31 and the second gimbal limiting hole 11 can be freely combined. The M-shaped or gourd-shaped first gimbal limiting hole 31 and the second gimbal limiting hole 11 cooperate with the flat strip-shaped upper limit block 21 and the lower limit block 22 to provide a fulcrum for the rotation of the upper limit block 21 and the lower limit block 22. The circular shape is tangent to the upper limit block 21 and the lower limit block 22, respectively, so that the upper limit block 21 and the lower limit block 22 rotate more flexibly and provide a rotating feel. In addition to reducing the overall height of the switch, the flexibility of the gimbal body 2 is also ensured, and the user experience is improved. Different shapes can be chosen according to actual conditions, so that the key switch can have different flexibility and different feel, suitable for different needs, and improve the practicality of the key switch.

[0048] Specifically, as one of the schemes, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the first gimbal limiting hole 31 is M-shaped, with the lower end side concave and the middle convex. The upper limit block 21 rotates around the middle convex position of the first gimbal limiting hole 31 as a rotating fulcrum. When the gimbal body 2 moves downward, the upper limit block 21 rotates around the middle convex position of the first gimbal limiting hole 31 as a rotating fulcrum, and the outer side of the upper limit block 21 rotates into the concave position outside the first gimbal limiting hole 31 or the upper limit block 21 is horizontally flat inside the first gimbal limiting hole 31. When the gimbal body 2 moves upward, the upper limit block 21 rotates around the middle convex position of the first gimbal limiting hole 31 as a rotating fulcrum, and the inner side of the upper limit block 21 rotates into the concave position inside the first gimbal limiting hole 31, which cooperates with each other to give the user a feel when pressing, and through the structure of the middle convex of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, the flexibility of the rotation of the upper limit block 21 is ensured while the rotation position of the upper limit block 21 is limited, and the user experience is improved.

[0049] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7, the upper cover 3 is formed with a first gimbal guide column 32 in the form of a downward protrusion and a semicircle as a whole between the two sets of first gimbal limiting holes 31. The upper limiting block 21 rotates with the first gimbal guide column 32 and the protruding position in the middle of the first gimbal limiting hole 31 as the rotating fulcrum. The semicircle shape lifts the upper end of the upper limiting block 21 in the middle, thereby making the upper limiting block 21 more easily rotate in the first gimbal limiting hole 31, further improving the flexibility of the rotation of the upper limiting block 21, and improving the user experience.

[0050] As another solution, as shown in FIGS. 9-12, the first gimbal limiting hole 31 is in the form of a gourd, and the sides of the upper end and the lower end are outwardly recessed in the middle and inwardly protruded in the middle. The upper limiting block 21 rotates with the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end as the rotating fulcrum. When the gimbal body 2 moves downward, the upper limiting block 21 rotates with the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end as the rotating fulcrum, the outer side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the outer side of the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, and the inner side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the inner side of the upper end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, or the upper limiting block 21 is horizontally leveled in the first gimbal limiting hole 31. When the gimbal body 2 moves upward, the inner side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the inner side of the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, and the outer side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the outer side of the upper end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31. The two cooperate to give the user a sense of pressing. And through the structure of the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, the rotation position of the upper limiting block 21 is limited, and the flexibility of the rotation of the upper limiting block 21 is ensured, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] As another solution, as shown in FIGS. 9-12, the first gimbal limiting hole 31 is in the form of a gourd, and the sides of the upper end and the lower end are outwardly recessed in the middle and inwardly protruded in the middle. The upper limiting block 21 rotates with the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end as the rotating fulcrum. When the gimbal body 2 moves downward, the upper limiting block 21 rotates with the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end as the rotating fulcrum, the outer side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the outer side of the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, and the inner side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the inner side of the upper end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, or the upper limiting block 21 is horizontally leveled in the first gimbal limiting hole 31. When the gimbal body 2 moves upward, the inner side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the inner side of the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, and the outer side of the upper limiting block 21 is turned into the recessed position on the outer side of the upper end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31. The two cooperate to give the user a sense of pressing. And through the structure of the protruding position in the middle of the upper end and the lower end of the first gimbal limiting hole 31, the rotation position of the upper limiting block 21 is limited, and the flexibility of the rotation of the upper limiting block 21 is ensured, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] As one of the solutions, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is M-shaped, with the upper end side recessed and the middle protruded, and the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the second balance frame limiting hole 11. When the balance frame body 2 moves downward, the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the outer side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position outside the second balance frame limiting hole 11, or the lower limiting block 22 is horizontally leveled in the second balance frame limiting hole 11. When the balance frame body 2 moves upward, the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the inner side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position inside the second balance frame limiting hole 11. The two cooperate to give the user a feeling when pressing, and through the structure of the middle protrusion of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, the lower limiting block 22 is limited in the rotating position and is flexible in rotating, improving the user experience.

[0053] As another solution, as shown in FIGS. 9-12, the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is a gourd-shaped, with the upper end and the lower end both recessed and the middle protruded, and the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the upper end and the lower end. When the balance frame body 2 moves downward, the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the upper end and the lower end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the outer side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position inside the lower end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the inner side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position inside the upper end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, or the lower limiting block 22 is horizontally leveled in the second balance frame limiting hole 11. When the balance frame body 2 moves upward, the lower limiting block 22 rotates around the position of the middle protrusion of the upper end and the lower end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the inner side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position inside the upper end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the outer side of the lower limiting block 22 turns into the recessed position outside the lower end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the two cooperate to give the user a feeling when pressing. And through the structure of the middle protrusion of the upper end and the lower end of the second balance frame limiting hole 11, the lower limiting block 22 is limited in the rotating position and is flexible in rotating, improving the user experience.

[0054] As another solution, as shown in FIGS. 13-14, the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is circular, and the lower limiting block 22 is tangent to the first balance frame limiting hole 31, so that the lower limiting block 22 is guided and limited by the first balance frame limiting hole 31 when rotating. The circular hole structure facilitates the rotation of the lower limiting block 22, improves the flexibility of the rotation of the lower limiting block 22, and thus improves the user experience.

[0055] The number of the second balance frame limiting hole 11 and the first balance frame limiting hole 31 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the second balance frame limiting hole 11 has a total of 4 groups, so that the four corners of the substrate 1 are balanced in force, or the second balance frame limiting hole 11 has only 2 groups on one end, and the other side is hinged. The actual situation can be chosen, so in this embodiment, it is not specifically limited.

[0056] For the specific operation of the balance frame body 2 itself, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 10 and 14, the balance frame body 2 includes two groups of supports that are cross-connected and can be superimposed. The middle of any one group of supports forms a rotating shaft 23, and the middle of the other group of supports forms a rotating limiting hole 24 for embedding the rotating shaft 23. When needed to be installed, the rotating shaft 23 is only needed to be aligned with the rotating limiting hole 24 to be embedded, so as to realize the pivot connection of the two groups of supports. The overall structure is simple, convenient to install, and beneficial to production.

[0057] Preferably, as shown in Figure 10, the rotating shaft 23 is in the shape of a flat strip, and the rotating limiting hole 24 is in the shape of a gourd, with the side of the upper end and the side of the lower end being concave outwardly and the middle of the upper end and the middle of the lower end being convex inwardly. When an external force is pressed, the rotating shaft 23 takes the middle convex position of the upper end and the lower end of the rotating limiting hole 24 as the rotating fulcrum, the side of the rotating shaft 23 close to the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is embedded into the concave position of the upper end of the side of the rotating limiting hole 24 close to the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the side of the rotating shaft 23 away from the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is embedded into the concave position of the lower end of the side of the rotating limiting hole 24 away from the second balance frame limiting hole 11, or the rotating shaft 23 is in the horizontal flat state in the rotating limiting hole 24, so that the two groups of supports can be normally lowered. When the external force is removed, the rotating shaft 23 takes the middle convex position of the upper end and the lower end of the rotating limiting hole 24 as the rotating fulcrum, the side of the rotating shaft 23 close to the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is embedded into the concave position of the lower end of the side of the rotating limiting hole 24 close to the second balance frame limiting hole 11, and the side of the rotating shaft 23 away from the second balance frame limiting hole 11 is embedded into the concave position of the upper end of the side of the rotating limiting hole 24 away from the second balance frame limiting hole 11. The two cooperate with each other to give the user a hand feeling when pressing. And through the structure that the upper end and the lower end of the rotating limiting hole 24 are both convex in the middle, the rotating position of the rotating shaft 23 is limited, and the flexibility of the rotating shaft 23 is also ensured, improving the user experience.

[0058] As another preferred solution, as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 14, the rotating shaft 23 is in the shape of a flat strip, and the rotating limiting hole 24 is in the shape of a circle, and the rotating shaft 23 is tangent to the circular rotating limiting hole 24, so that the rotating shaft 23 is guided and limited by the circular rotating limiting hole 24 when rotating, the circular hole structure is conducive to the rotation of the rotating shaft 23, improves the flexibility of the rotating shaft 23, and thus improves the user experience.

[0059] It should be noted that the ultra-thin keyboard switch balance frame limiting structure disclosed in the present application is an improvement on the specific structure, and the specific control method is not the innovation point of the present application. The key switch and other components involved in the present application can be general standard components or components known to those skilled in the art, and the structure, principle and control method thereof are known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.

[0060] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the technical scope of the present application in any way.
