For example, the common electronic devices in daily life are notebook computers, mobile phones, satellite navigation devices, and the like, and the storage capacities and the operation performance of the processors of the electronic devices are greatly improved, so that the functions of the electronic devices become increasingly powerful and complex. In order to operate these electronic devices efficiently, manufacturers of electronic devices use touch pads as input devices to operate a plurality of electronic devices.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a conventional notebook computer and a touch pad module thereof. The touch pad module 1 is disposed in the housing 21 of the notebook computer 2 and at least partially exposed to allow a user to touch the touch pad module 1 to operate the notebook computer 2, for example, the user can touch the touch pad module 1 with fingers and slide on the touch pad module 1 to move a cursor 23 on a screen 22, or can press the touch pad module 1 to allow the notebook computer 2 to perform a specific function, so that the touch pad module 1 can replace the function of a mouse, and the user does not need to carry or install the mouse additionally, which is inconvenient.
Referring to fig. 2 to 3 synchronously, fig. 2 is a conceptual diagram of the touch pad module shown in fig. 1 when the touch pad module is not pressed, and fig. 3 is a conceptual diagram of the touch pad module shown in fig. 2 after the touch pad module is pressed. The casing 21 of the notebook computer 2 has an inwardly recessed frame 24, the touch pad module 1 is disposed in the frame 24, the touch pad module 1 includes a supporting structure 11, a triggering portion 12 and a touch pad 13 disposed on two opposite sides of the frame 24, and the touch pad 13 of the touch pad module 1 is connected to the supporting structure 11, so that the touch pad 13 of the touch pad module 1 can swing relative to the triggering portion 12 with the supporting structure 11 as a pivot. In addition, the touch panel module 1 includes a switch 14, and the switch 14 is located below the touch panel 13 and corresponds to the trigger part 12.
Furthermore, when the user touches the touch plate 13, the touch plate 13 swings downward relative to the trigger part 12 with the supporting structure 11 as a fulcrum until the switch 14 of the touch pad module 1 abuts against the trigger part 12 on the frame 24, so that the switch 14 is triggered to output a switch signal to the notebook computer 2, thereby enabling the notebook computer 2 to perform a corresponding function. When the user no longer touches the touch plate 13, the touch plate 13 swings upward relative to the trigger part 12 according to the elastic force of the support structure 11, so that the touch plate 13 is restored to the original position.
The supporting structure 11 of the touch pad module 1 is mainly formed by an iron member or a plastic structure (such as a sponge) to connect the upper and lower members, and the touch pad 13 can swing up and down through the deformation of the iron member or the plastic structure, however, the known touch pad module 1 has a disadvantage that the design of the supporting structure 11 causes the touch pad 13 to be unstable in deflection during the process of swinging up and down, and therefore, how to improve the above problem is a focus of attention of those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 6, when the touch pad module 3 is pressed by an external force, the touch pad 30 of the touch pad module 3 swings towards the direction approaching the substrate 31 with the supporting member 33 as a fulcrum, so that the switch 32 on the touch pad 30 contacts the trigger portion 310 on the substrate 31, and at this time, the touch pad 30 simultaneously drives the swing portion 341 to swing towards the direction approaching the substrate 31 with the bending line L as a fulcrum. Next, as shown in fig. 5, when the external force applied to the touch pad module 3 is released, the resilient restoring force of the sheet-shaped elastic element 34 causes the swinging portion 341 of the sheet-shaped elastic element 34 to swing away from the substrate 31 with the bending line L as a fulcrum, and further drives the pressing plate 30 to swing away from the substrate 31 with the supporting member 33 as a fulcrum, so as to separate the switch 32 from the trigger 310.
