Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the local member explosive view of a kind of electronic installation of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is the partial enlarged drawing of first housing in the electronic installation of Fig. 1.Please be simultaneously with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, electronic installation for example is a notebook computer, the member relevant with Trackpad only is shown so that the reader can know identification at this.Just the present invention does not limit the form of this electronic installation, and the electronic installation that any need are controlled with Trackpad is all applicable to present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, electronic installation 100 comprises one first housing 110, a metal level 120, a circuit board 130, an articulamentum 140, a Trackpad 150 and one second housing 160.Second housing 160 is assembled to first housing, 110, the first housings 110 and has a Touch Zone A1 and two elastic arms 112,114 of position in the A1 of Touch Zone.It should be noted that first housing 110 and elastic arm the 112, the 114th at this, be made through the mode that model penetrates one-body moldedly with plastic cement.In view of the above, the present invention passes through this incorporate design, and makes electronic installation 100 be able to reduce the member of extra setting about Trackpad 150, thereby can reduce the cost of manufacture of electronic installation 100 effectively.
Moreover; Metal level 120 be configured on first housing 110 and the position outside the A1 of Touch Zone; It also lets first housing 110 of plastic cement material be able in the structural design of keeping Touch Zone A1, also have concurrently preferable outward appearance through this measure in order to the outward appearance coating as electronic installation 100.
In addition; Circuit board 130 is assembled on first housing 110 and is positioned at Touch Zone A1; And articulamentum 140 for example is a two-sided adhesive tape, and it is connected between the Touch Zone A1 of the circuit board 130 and first housing 110, so that circuit board 130 is fixed on the Touch Zone A1 of first housing 110.At last, Trackpad 150 is assembled on the circuit board 130 again.So far, just accomplish on the electronic installation 100 assembling with Trackpad 150 associated components.
In the present embodiment; Trackpad 150 is a gapless Trackpad; But the surface that is Trackpad 150 is all the Touch Zone; Its Trackpad 150 all can be matched with the Touch Zone A1 profile of first housing 110 and be assembled to first housing 110 with the profile of circuit board 130, thereby under the immovable prerequisite of the overall volume of first casing 110, can increase the region area of Touch Zone A1.In other words, compare prior art, Trackpad 150 saves the setting of existing physical button, but changes to mark off key zone 152 on its surface.
Fig. 3 be in the electronic installation of Fig. 1 circuit board in the synoptic diagram at another visual angle.Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, circuit board 130 has a switch member 132 on the surperficial S1 in the face of the Touch Zone A1 of first housing 110, and towards first housing 110, and first housing 110 has a pressure section 116 corresponding with switch member 132.When the user contacts the key zone 152 at Trackpad 150; Electronic installation 100 at first can learn that user's contact point is to be positioned at key zone 152 through the related application of Trackpad 150; And then when user's pressing keys district 152, the part that Trackpad 150 is positioned at key zone 152 just can drive circuit board 130 and sink and compress on the elastic arm 112 or 114 on first housing 110.Meanwhile, the switch member 132 of position on the surperficial S1 of circuit board 130 just can be pressed on the pressure section 116 of first housing 110, and then trigger switch spare 132.Thus, the key zone 152 of Trackpad 150 is had as the pressing function as the existing physical button.
In detail, in the present embodiment, when the Touch Zone A1 that is assembled to first housing 110 when circuit board 130 goes up, the upper top position between two elastic arms 112 and 114 of switch member 132 essence.In view of the above, Trackpad 150 tilts to press to elastic arm 112 or at 114 o'clock because of the stressed circuit board 130 of driving, and inclined circuit board 130 just can make switch member 132 be pressed on the pressure section 116 of first housing 110 and starting switch spare 132.
On the contrary, as user no longer during pressing keys district 152, elastic arm 112 or 114 conveniently rises to return to its original position together with the key zone 152 of circuit board 130 with Trackpad 150 with its elastic restoring forces.
In addition, in the present embodiment, electronic installation 100 also comprises a back up pad 170, and it is configured between first housing 110 and second housing 160 and the position is right against elastic arm 112 and 114 places below the A1 of Touch Zone.When Trackpad 150 drove circuit boards 130 and presses down with elastic arm 112,114, the supporting construction of back up pad 170 when pressing down as elastic arm 112,114 was to reach spacing function.
In sum, in the above embodiment of the present invention, first housing utilization elastic arm integrated with it is as the structure that supports Trackpad, to reduce existing required the number of components of Trackpad effectively.This shows that the present invention makes electronic installation keeping the use that reduces member under the prerequisite of its touch control plate function through incorporate structural design, except having the advantage of saving cost of parts, also disposes in the limited electronic installation applicable to enclosure space.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; But it is not that any those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention in order to qualification the present invention; Can do some suitable change and be equal to replacement, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the scope that claims were defined.
