By referring to the drawings to the detailed description of exemplary embodiment of the present invention, other feature of the invention and its Advantage will become apparent.
Detailed description of the invention
The attached drawing for constituting part of specification describes the embodiment of the present invention, and together with the description for solving Release the principle of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of press-key structure of the present invention.
Specific embodiment
Carry out the various exemplary embodiments of detailed description of the present invention now with reference to attached drawing.It should also be noted that unless in addition having Body explanation, the unlimited system of component and the positioned opposite of step, numerical expression and the numerical value otherwise illustrated in these embodiments is originally The range of invention.
Be to the description only actually of at least one exemplary embodiment below it is illustrative, never as to the present invention And its application or any restrictions used.
Technology and equipment known to person of ordinary skill in the relevant may be not discussed in detail, but in appropriate situation Under, the technology and equipment should be considered as part of specification.
It is shown here and discuss all examples in, any occurrence should be construed as merely illustratively, without It is as limitation.Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiment can have different values.
It should also be noted that similar label and letter indicate similar terms in following attached drawing, therefore, once a certain Xiang Yi It is defined in a attached drawing, then in subsequent attached drawing does not need that it is further discussed.
With reference to Fig. 1, the present invention provides a kind of press-key structures, including substrate 1, and are resiliently supported at 1 top of substrate Movement portion further includes the driving portion being combined together with movement portion.Substrate 1 of the invention is mainly that entire press-key structure provides branch Support;Movement portion can be flexibly supported on substrate 1 by means well-known to those skilled in the art, for example, can by spring or Cantilever beam structure etc..When effect of the movement portion by external force or driving force, is moved towards the direction of substrate 1, work as external force Or it after driving force revocation, is resetted under the action of elastic restoring force.Driving portion of the invention is combined together with movement portion, so that Driving portion can provide the driving force moved towards 1 direction of substrate for movement portion.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, the movement portion is sheet metal 5, and the driving portion is electromagnet 3, With reference to Fig. 1.The sheet metal 5 is preferably flexibly supported on substrate 1 by spring 7.Specifically, can be arranged on the substrate 1 The positioning column 6 of at least two protrusions, the positioning column 6 can be integrally formed with substrate 1.It is arranged on the sheet metal 5 useful In the location hole being combined together with positioning column 6.The positioning column 6 passes through the location hole on sheet metal 5, to realize metal Installation, the positioning of piece 5;And guiding can also be provided for the movement of sheet metal 5 by the positioning column 6 and location hole.
Certainly, for a person skilled in the art, the positioning column 6 also can be set on sheet metal 5, described fixed On substrate 1, the positioning and guiding role between sheet metal 5 and substrate 1 equally can be achieved in the setting of position hole.
7 sets of the spring is on the position on positioning column 6 between substrate 1 and sheet metal 5, such as can make spring 7 One end is combined together with substrate 1, and the other end is combined together with sheet metal 5.When sheet metal 5 is moved towards the direction of substrate 1 When, it compresses the spring 7 and deforms, and can be resetted under the elastic force of spring 7.
The mountable fixation of the electromagnet 3 on substrate 1, is combined together with sheet metal 5.When electromagnet 3 is powered, The magnetic force that electromagnet 3 generates constitutes the driving force for keeping sheet metal 5 mobile towards 1 direction of substrate.Under the driving force, sheet metal 5 compress the spring 7 under the guiding role of positioning column 6 and move towards the direction of substrate 1.
Press-key structure of the invention further includes the mechanical key 2 between sheet metal 5 and substrate 1.As its name suggests, institute State mechanical key 2 be using Design of Mechanical Structure at press-key structure, such as it can be mechanical switch structure etc..This structure Mechanical key 2 when pressing, can make a sound, this sound can be the sound collided between component, be also possible to portion Sound etc. when part deforms, traditional switch key is all made of the key of this mechanical structure.The mechanical key 2 can be installed solid Determine on substrate 1, such as groove can be set on substrate 1, by 2 location and installation of mechanical key in the groove, to guarantee The firm installation of mechanical key 2.
Press-key structure of the invention can provide the drive moved towards orientation substrate after electromagnet is powered for sheet metal Power, under the action of the driving force, sheet metal compressed spring towards substrate direction move, while and squeeze open machinery press Key makes mechanical key issue its distinctive keypad tone;After electromagnet power-off, answer sheet metal under the elastic restoring force of spring Position.Press-key structure of the invention can be applied in each electronic equipment, and key sound when carrying out analog subscriber touch-control with this makes it It is more suitable for the experience of user.
Preferably, the lower end of the sheet metal 5 is provided with the protrusion 4 for contacting with mechanical key 2, the protrusion 4 can touch together in order to sheet metal 5 and mechanical key 2.
In another specific embodiment of the invention, the movement portion can be electromagnet, at this point, driving portion is then The metal portion of installation on substrate 1.
It is similar to the aforementioned embodiment, the positioning column of at least two protrusions, the electricity can be provided on the substrate 1 The location hole for being combined together with positioning column is provided on magnet, the spring pocket is located at substrate and electromagnetism on positioning column On position between iron.Positioning, the guiding of electromagnet and substrate are realized by positioning column, this connection structure of location hole.
In another mounting structure, in order to be conducive to installation, the fixation of electromagnet, the movement portion can also include one A support plate, the support plate are supported on the top of substrate by above-mentioned spring, and electromagnetism iron rule may be mounted at support plate Medium position on.
When the solenoid is energized, the magneticaction since metal portion is fixed on substrate, between electromagnet and metal portion Under, electromagnet is moved towards the direction of substrate, mechanical key is opened with this.
Movement portion of the invention, driving portion can also be the knot well-known to those skilled in the art such as hot-wire coil, magnet Structure no longer illustrates herein.
The present invention also provides a kind of electronic equipment comprising shell and touch screen further include above-mentioned press-key structure. The press-key structure can be combined together with shell, such as can be combined together with the side wall of handset shell, and analogue mobile phone is carried out Volume key, power key etc.;The press-key structure can also be combined together with touch screen, carry out HOME key of analogue mobile phone etc..
Although some specific embodiments of the invention are described in detail by example, the skill of this field Art personnel it should be understood that above example merely to being illustrated, the range being not intended to be limiting of the invention.The skill of this field Art personnel are it should be understood that can without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention modify to above embodiments.This hair Bright range is defined by the following claims.
