[embodiment]
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, the touch key device 1 of one embodiment of the present invention comprises touch sensible element 2, the control circuit board 6 that electrically connects with touch sensible element 2, and be arranged on bracing or strutting arrangement between sensing element 2 and the control circuit board 6.It above this touch key device 1 control panel 7.Control panel 7 can be mounted in the panel of the household electrical appliance controller of the finger touch control that supplies the user on certain household electrical appliance, and these household electrical appliance can be household electric refrigerator, washing machine, gas-cooker for kitchen use, range hood or the like.When touch key device 1 is installed to the below of control panel 7, the sensitive surface of the sensing element 2 of touch key device 1 is close on the lower surface of control panel 7, and induction and feedback operation person touch the electric capacitance change that produces when changing control panel 7.
In the present embodiment, sensing element 2 is printed circuit board (PCB)s, and the central authorities of this printed circuit board (PCB) have opening 20, and it acts on subsequent detailed.This printed circuit board (PCB) can be by the size cutting as required of common printed circuit board (PCB), thereby avoided using special mould or instrument to remove the processing and manufacturing sensing element, upper surface at the printed circuit board (PCB) of well cutting size is gold-plated, as the sensitive surface of sensing element 2.Control circuit board 6 is electrically connected to sensing element 2 by flexible circuit board (FPC, Flexible Printed Circuit), and control circuit board 6 is provided with light-emitting component 60, and light-emitting component 60 is LED light lamp in the present embodiment.When the user touches control panel 7, sensing element 2 is sent to control circuit board 6 with the signal sensed (for example variation of the capacitance by feedback-induced element 2) by flexible circuit board, correspondingly control circuit board sends control signal and gives light-emitting component 60, controls the light on and off of light-emitting component 60.
As shown in Figure 1, and cooperate with reference to figure 3, bracing or strutting arrangement comprises light-scattering component 3, elastic buffer component 4, and support component 5.In the present embodiment, dispersing element 3 be one deck thin can printing opacity and scattering film that light is dispersed out equably, the size of this scattering film is corresponding to the size of sensing element 2, and can be bonded on the lower surface of sensing element 2 by the two-sided tape (not shown).In the present embodiment, elastic buffer component 4 is the strip foams with elastic variable, and this foam can be bonded on the lower surface of dispersing element 3 by the two-sided tape (not shown).
Again referring to figs. 2 to Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, support component 5 is blockss of the plastic material that roughly is square, its side towards sensing element 2 forms depression 52, the feasible sensing element 2 that bonds to together of the size of depression 52 and the degree of depth, light-scattering component 3, elastic buffer component 5 can be placed in this depression 52 and be resisted against on the bottom surface of depression 52, and when sensing element 2 is in free state, the upper level of sensing element 2 exceeds the side (see figure 3) of depression 52 slightly, such design makes when sensing element 2 clings to the lower surface of control panel 7, control panel 7 can apply certain pressure to sensing element 2, compressive deformation by elastic buffer component 3, can be so that the upper surface of sensing element 2 be roughly concordant with depression 52 side, thus the sensing element 2 and the lower surface of control panel 7 are fitted tightly.For realizing location, in depression 52, be provided with several and can assist reference column 53 (see figure 4)s of blocking elastic buffer component 3 elastic buffer component 3.Support component 5 has the grab 51 of some downward extensions towards a side of control circuit 6.Grab 51 can fasten the side of control circuit board 7, thereby support component and control circuit board 6 are linked together.
The astigmatic passage 55 of the light that sent of guiding light-emitting component 60 is set on the support component 4.With reference to figure 3, astigmatic passage 55 extends downwards from 52 the bottom surface of caving in, and its larger-size opening 550 is arranged on this bottom surface, and the less opening 551 of its size is arranged on the end of astigmatic passage 55, thereby makes the global shape of astigmatic passage 55 present tubaeform.When each elements combination of touch key device 1 to a time-out, the end of astigmatic passage 55 is resisted against on the upper surface of control circuit board 6, the light-emitting component 60 that makes end openings 551 face to be arranged on the control circuit board 6; And the opening 20 of sensing element 2 faces astigmatic passage 55 and is arranged on opening 550 on depression 52 the bottom surface.Like this, the light that light-emitting component 60 sends passes through the even scattering of light-scattering component 3 again through the guiding of astigmatic passage 55, and the opening 20 through sensing element 2 is scattered out then.The shape of the opening 20 by changing sensing element 2 can present difform light zone on control panel 7.
What more than disclose only is an embodiment of the invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art also can under the prerequisite of not paying creative work, make rational adjustment to embodiments of the present invention with reference on the basis of above execution mode.For example, the elastic buffer component 4 of present embodiment is a foam, also can substitute with the annulus copper spring in other embodiments.Again for example, the light-emitting component 60 of present embodiment is a light-emitting diode, and its position is arranged on the control circuit board 6, also can substitute with miniature bulb in other embodiments, and the position of miniature bulb also can be set directly in the astigmatic passage 55 of support component 5.Again for example, the material that sensing element 2, light-scattering component 3, elastic buffer component 5 are bonded to together is a two-sided tape in the present embodiment, also can replace with the liquid glue that can solidify in other embodiments.In a word, these rational adjustment all should be within the protection range of claim of the present invention.
