It will be appreciated that though various information, but this may be described using term first, second, third, etc. in the application A little information should not necessarily be limited by these terms.These terms are only used to for same type of information being distinguished from each other out.For example, not departing from In the case where the application range, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as One information.Depending on context, word as used in this " if " can be construed to " ... when " or " when ... When " or " in response to determination ".
Fig. 1 is the assembling schematic diagram of a kind of press-key structure and electronic equipment shown according to an exemplary embodiment, this is pressed Bond structure 100 can be assemblied in the predeterminated position in electronic equipment 200.As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, which can wrap Include keycap 1 and at least two swing arms 2 (such as the first swing arm 21 illustrated in Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and second swing arm 22). Wherein, keycap 1 can be assembled to the shell 201 of electronic equipment 200 by default opening, and be there is at least part and be located at shell 201 outside, in order to which user implements pressing operation for the keycap 1;The keycap 1 can also with one end of each swing arm 2 into Row rotation connection, and the other end of the swing arm 2 can be rotatablely connected with shell 201, so that at least two swing arms 2, Keycap 1 and shell 201 constitute parallelogram linkage, limit key to connect the kinetic characteristic of mechanism using parallelogram The movement of cap 1 improves the adverse effect that keycap 1 is easy shaking, skew so as not to run-off the straight.Wherein, the press-key structure 100 can be the side key structure on electronic equipment 200, and the disclosure is limited not to this.
For example, as shown in figure 4, ought two swing arms 2 include at least the first swing arm 21 and second as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 When swing arm 22, the both ends of first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 can be rotatablely connected with keycap 1 and shell 201 respectively. Wherein, the setting direction of the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 be parallel to each other, the junction of the first swing arm 21 and keycap 1 and the The connection place of two swing arms 22 and keycap 1 L1 that is in line is parallel to junction and second swing arm of first swing arm 21 with shell 201 22 are in line L2 with the connection place of shell 201 so that the first swing arm 21, the second swing arm 22, keycap 1 and shell 2 constitute it is flat Four side four-bar mechanism of row.In this way, when applied external force acts on keycap 1 and makes the keycap 1 towards the inside of electronic equipment 200 When movement, the first swing arm 21, the second swing arm 22 can be driven to be respectively relative to keycap 1 and the relative rotation of shell 201, also, key Cap 1 during the motion can be always with 201 keeping parallelism of shell, will not be towards the sidewall slope of shell 201.
Further, in order to enable the direction pressing direction movement that keycap 1 can be stablized, balance, the first swing arm 21 and key The junction of the junction of cap 1 and the second swing arm 22 and keycap 1 is located at the two sides at the center of keycap 1.Wherein, the center The thickness direction that can be keycap 1 towards electronic equipment 200 project at geometric figure center, and actually keycap 1 should For solid figure thus the center it can be appreciated that keycap 1 center of gravity.Certainly, the center of keycap 1 described in the disclosure is not It only may include that absolute central point can also be including region near the absolute central point.
In the present embodiment, the setting direction of the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 refers specifically to: in the thickness of electronic equipment 200 Spend the straight direction of the institute of the projection of the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 on direction, the pressing side of the rectilinear direction and keycap 1 To deviating, that is, in angle setting (angle is not equal to 0 ° and 180 °) between the setting direction and pressing direction, to keep away Exempting from swing arm 2 hinders keycap 1 to move along pressing direction.
In above-mentioned each embodiment, swing arm 2 C-shaped can be arranged, and be somebody's turn to do can rotating respectively end to end for " C " font swing arm It is connected to keycap 1 and shell 201.Certainly, further, be somebody's turn to do " C " font swing arm is connected to keycap 1 with being respectively perpendicular end to end With shell 201 so that the pivot center between swing arm 2 and keycap 1, between swing arm 2 and shell 201 is respectively perpendicular to keycap 1 pressing direction avoids the relative rotation between swing arm 2 and keycap 1, between swing arm 2 and shell 201 that keycap 1 is caused to incline Tiltedly.
For example, as shown in figure 5, the first swing arm 21 may include ontology 211 and the rotation section positioned at 211 both ends of ontology 212,213, rotation section 212 can vertically be connected to keycap 1, rotation section 213 can vertically be connected to shell 201.Wherein, Ontology 211, rotation section 212 and rotation section 213 can be integrated molding formula structure, be also possible to after being separately formed fixed company It is connected in integral structure, the disclosure is limited not to this.
In the present embodiment, still by taking embodiment illustrated in fig. 5 as an example, shell 201 may include inside by the surface of shell 201 Be recessed the groove 2011 formed, at least part of swing arm 22 can be assemblied in groove 2011 and respectively with shell 201 and Keycap 1 cooperates.For example, which may include the first groove 2011A and the second groove 2011B, first groove 2011A and the second groove 2011B may be respectively used for accommodating at least part of the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22, with reduction The thickness of electronic equipment 200 meets the frivolous developing trend of electronic equipment.
Wherein, at least part of first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 can be the ontology of the first swing arm 21 respectively 211 and second swing arm 22 ontology 221, the rotation section of the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 can then be each passed through corresponding recessed Slot 2011 is vertically connected to shell 201 and keycap 1.
Technical solution based on the disclosure, for keycap 1 after being assembled to shell 201 by default opening, one of surface can To contact with the surface of shell 201, press-key structure 100 can also include locating part (not shown), which can use It is moved in limitation keycap 1 along the thickness direction of electronic equipment 200.For example, the locating part can be connected to another table on keycap 1 Face, so that the thickness direction for limiting keycap 1 along electronic equipment 200 moves, alternatively, the locating part is also possible to be formed in rotation section On confined planes, by taking rotation section 212 as an example, which can form multi-diameter shaft, the cascaded surface and keycap 1 of the multi-diameter shaft The contact of another surface, thus when swing arm 2 is when the movement of thickness direction is restricted, the movement of keycap 1 in a thickness direction It can be restricted therewith.
Those skilled in the art will readily occur to its of the disclosure after considering specification and practicing disclosure disclosed herein Its embodiment.This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the disclosure, these modifications, purposes or Person's adaptive change follows the general principles of this disclosure and including the undocumented common knowledge in the art of the disclosure Or conventional techniques.The description and examples are only to be considered as illustrative, and the true scope and spirit of the disclosure are by following Claim is pointed out.
It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the precise structures that have been described above and shown in the drawings, and And various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof.The scope of the present disclosure is only limited by the accompanying claims.
