Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-157789 (FIGS. 4 and 5)

ところで、上述した従来のノート型ＰＣにおけるキーボード１１１は、図９に示したように、筐体１１２の取付け部１１３に支持ベース１１８の外周部が係合される構造であるため、支持ベース１１８の厚みが比較的薄い構成では、取付け部１１３の内壁から受ける圧力で、支持ベース１１８の厚み方向に反りや撓み等の湾曲が生じることがある。このため、このようなキーボード１１１では、支持ベース１１８の厚み方向に反りや撓みが生じた場合に、支持ベース１１８の裏面の中央部Ｍと、取付け部１１３の底面の中央部Ｍとの間に微少な間隙が生じてしまう。   Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 9, the keyboard 111 in the conventional notebook PC described above has a structure in which the outer peripheral portion of the support base 118 is engaged with the attachment portion 113 of the housing 112. In a structure with a relatively small thickness, the pressure received from the inner wall of the attachment portion 113 may cause a curvature such as warpage or deflection in the thickness direction of the support base 118. For this reason, in such a keyboard 111, when the support base 118 is warped or bent in the thickness direction, the center portion M on the back surface of the support base 118 and the center portion M on the bottom surface of the mounting portion 113 are interposed. A minute gap will occur.

したがって、従来のノート型ＰＣでは、キーボード１１１の支持ベース１１８の主面における中央部Ｍ近傍に、支持ベース１１８の厚み方向に対して微少なガタツキが発生してしまい、特に、キーボード１１１の中央部Ｍ近傍のキーを押圧操作した際に、キーがふかふかした軟らかい操作感触になってしまう不都合がある。   Therefore, in the conventional notebook type PC, a slight backlash occurs in the thickness direction of the support base 118 in the vicinity of the central portion M on the main surface of the support base 118 of the keyboard 111. When a key near M is pressed, there is an inconvenience that the key feels soft and soft.

すなわち、キーボード１１１の中央部Ｍ近傍と外周部側とで各キーの操作時の操作感触が不均一になり、キーボード１１１の操作性が損なわれてしまう問題がある。   That is, there is a problem in that the operation feeling of the keys 111 is not uniform between the vicinity of the center portion M and the outer peripheral side of the keyboard 111, and the operability of the keyboard 111 is impaired.

そこで、本発明は、キーボードの各キーの操作感触を均一にし、特にキーボードの中央部近傍の操作感触を向上することができる電子機器、キーボードを提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device and a keyboard that can make the operation feeling of each key of the keyboard uniform, and in particular, can improve the operation feeling near the center of the keyboard.

上述した目的を達成するため、本発明に係る電子機器は、複数のキーと、キーを支持する支持ベースとを有するキーボードを備える。また、キーボードが取り付けられる取付け部が設けられた筐体と、取付け部にキーボードを係合させる係合手段とを備える。そして、キーボードは、係合手段によって、支持ベースの、キーが配置されている面の反対の主面側で、取付け部に係合されている。   In order to achieve the above-described object, an electronic apparatus according to the present invention includes a keyboard having a plurality of keys and a support base that supports the keys. Moreover, the housing | casing provided with the attaching part to which a keyboard is attached, and the engaging means which engages a keyboard with an attaching part are provided. The keyboard is engaged with the mounting portion by the engaging means on the main surface side of the support base opposite to the surface on which the keys are arranged.

以上のように構成した本発明に係る電子機器によれば、係合手段によって、キーボードにおける支持ベースの、キーが配置されている面の反対の主面側で、取付け部に係合されることによって、キーボードの主面側が取付け部に対して良好に固定される。したがって、この電子機器によれば、取付け部に取り付けられた支持ベースの厚み方向に撓みが生じることが抑えられ、支持ベースの主面と取付け部との間に隙間が生じることを防げるので、キーボードの中央部近傍の操作感触が損なわれるのが抑えられる。   According to the electronic apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above, the engaging means is engaged with the attachment portion on the main surface side of the support base of the keyboard opposite to the surface on which the keys are arranged. Thus, the main surface side of the keyboard is satisfactorily fixed to the mounting portion. Therefore, according to this electronic device, since the bending in the thickness direction of the support base attached to the attachment portion can be suppressed, and a gap can be prevented from being generated between the main surface of the support base and the attachment portion. It is suppressed that the operational feeling in the vicinity of the central portion of the is impaired.

また、本発明に係るキーボードは、複数のキーと、これらキーを支持する支持ベースとを有し、電子機器の取付け部に係合されるキーボードであって、

なお、本発明では、キーボード１１の長辺方向をキー配列の行方向と称し、便宜上、キーボード１１の短辺方向をキー配列の列方向と称している。また、本実施形態のキーボード１１では、キー配列として例えば、複数行のキーにかな文字や英数字が割り当てられているＪＩＳ配列等が用いられている。   In the present invention, the long side direction of the keyboard 11 is referred to as the row direction of the key arrangement, and the short side direction of the keyboard 11 is referred to as the column direction of the key arrangement for convenience. In the keyboard 11 of the present embodiment, for example, a JIS layout in which kana characters or alphanumeric characters are assigned to a plurality of rows of keys is used as a key layout.

また、本実施形態では、筐体１２に取付け部１３が一体に形成されている構成が採られたが、筐体１２とは別部品の取付け部材が、筐体１２に直接取り付けられる構成や、他の部材を介して筐体１２に間接的に取り付けられる構成が採られてもよい。   Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the attachment portion 13 is integrally formed with the housing 12 is adopted, but a configuration in which an attachment member that is a separate component from the housing 12 is directly attached to the housing 12, The structure attached indirectly to the housing | casing 12 through another member may be taken.

図３（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、係合溝１６は、一端が、表示部６の反対側である手前側、いわゆるパームレスト側に向かって曲げられた断面略Ｌ字状に形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the engagement groove 16 is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section in which one end is bent toward the near side opposite to the display unit 6, the so-called palm rest side. Has been.

キーボード１１は、配列された複数のキー１７と、これらキー１７を支持する支持ベース１８とを有している。   The keyboard 11 has a plurality of arranged keys 17 and a support base 18 that supports these keys 17.

図示しないが、各キー１７は、押し込み操作されるキートップと、キートップを移動可能に支持するいわゆるパンタグラフ（シザース）方式の支持機構と、キートップを初期位置に復帰させる付勢力を付与する弾性部材とを有している。また、各キー１７は、キートップの操作状態に応じて制御信号を伝送するフレキシブル回路基板上に配置されている。   Although not shown, each key 17 includes a key top that is pushed in, a so-called pantograph (scissors) type support mechanism that movably supports the key top, and an elastic force that applies a biasing force that returns the key top to the initial position. Member. Each key 17 is arranged on a flexible circuit board that transmits a control signal according to the operation state of the key top.

支持ベース１８は、例えば金属や樹脂等の板材からなり、図１および図２に示すように、取付け部１３の各係合溝１６に係合される係合手段として複数の係合突部２１が設けられている。各係合突部２１は、キー配列の行方向と平行な直線状に形成されており、キー配列の列方向に対して所定の間隔をあけて、各係合突部２１が配置されている。   The support base 18 is made of, for example, a plate material such as metal or resin. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support base 18 has a plurality of engagement protrusions 21 as engagement means that are engaged with the engagement grooves 16 of the attachment portion 13. Is provided. Each engagement protrusion 21 is formed in a straight line parallel to the row direction of the key array, and each engagement protrusion 21 is arranged at a predetermined interval with respect to the column direction of the key array. .

各係合突部２１は、一端側が、表示部６の反対側であるパームレスト側に向かって曲げられた断面略Ｌ字状に形成されている。また、係合突部２１のパームレスト側の一端部には、係合溝１６の内壁面に係合するロック爪２１ａが一体に突出して、キー配列の行方向に沿って形成されている。また、係合溝１６のパームレスト側の一端部には、係合突部２１のロック爪２１ａが係合されるロック溝１６ａが、キー配列の行方向に沿って形成されている。   Each engagement protrusion 21 is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section in which one end side is bent toward the palm rest side which is the opposite side of the display unit 6. Further, a locking claw 21a that engages with the inner wall surface of the engaging groove 16 is integrally protruded at one end of the engaging protrusion 21 on the palm rest side, and is formed along the row direction of the key arrangement. Moreover, the lock groove 16a with which the lock nail | claw 21a of the engagement protrusion 21 is engaged is formed in the one end part by the side of the palm rest of the engagement groove 16 along the row direction of a key arrangement | sequence.

取付け部１３の係合溝１６内に、支持ベース１８の係合突部２１を挿入した後、取付け部１３の内壁にガイドされた支持ベース１８を手前側に向けて図２中矢印Ａ方向にスライド移動させることで、係合突部２１のロック爪２１ａが係合溝１６のロック溝１６ａに係合される。このとき、取付け部１３にキーボード１１が取付けられて、ロック爪２１ａがロック溝１６ａに係合された状態で、取付け部１３の各係合溝１６内に、係合溝１６に対する係合突部２１のスライド量に応じて、表示部６側に空隙が生じている。   After inserting the engagement protrusion 21 of the support base 18 into the engagement groove 16 of the attachment portion 13, the support base 18 guided by the inner wall of the attachment portion 13 faces the front side in the direction of arrow A in FIG. By sliding, the lock claw 21 a of the engagement protrusion 21 is engaged with the lock groove 16 a of the engagement groove 16. At this time, when the keyboard 11 is attached to the attachment portion 13 and the lock claw 21a is engaged with the lock groove 16a, the engagement protrusions with respect to the engagement grooves 16 are formed in the engagement grooves 16 of the attachment portion 13. According to the slide amount of 21, a gap is generated on the display unit 6 side.

カバー１４は、取付け部１３に対して支持ベース１８が矢印Ａ方向にスライドされて筐体１２にキーボード１１が係合された後に、筐体１２に対するキーボード１１のスライド量に応じて生じる空間を埋めるように、筐体１２に着脱可能に取り付けられる。   The cover 14 fills a space generated according to the sliding amount of the keyboard 11 with respect to the housing 12 after the support base 18 is slid in the arrow A direction with respect to the mounting portion 13 and the keyboard 11 is engaged with the housing 12. Thus, it attaches to the housing | casing 12 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

また、カバー１４は、矢印Ａ方向である筐体１２の前後方向以外、例えば筐体１２に対して上方から下方へ、または筐体１２の横方向（後述する矢印Ｂ方向）へ移動されて、キーボード１１に当接するように筐体１２に取り付けられることで、取付け部１３に取り付けられたキーボード１１を良好に固定することが可能になる。つまり、カバー１４は、筐体１２に対するキーボード１１のスライド方向である矢印Ａ方向と直交する方向に、筐体１２に対して移動されて、カバー１４の一端が筐体１２の外周部に突き当てられて取り付けられる構成が好ましい。これは、筐体に対するキーボードのスライド方向と同一方向にカバーが移動されて筐体に取り付けられる構成の場合、例えば使用中にキーボードが矢印Ａ方向の逆向きに押されたときに、キーボードによってカバーも筐体に対して容易に移動され、筐体から脱落してしまうおそれがあるためである。   Further, the cover 14 is moved in a direction other than the front-rear direction of the housing 12 that is the direction of the arrow A, for example, from the top to the bottom with respect to the housing 12 or in the lateral direction of the housing 12 (arrow B direction described later) By being attached to the housing 12 so as to be in contact with the keyboard 11, the keyboard 11 attached to the attachment portion 13 can be satisfactorily fixed. That is, the cover 14 is moved relative to the casing 12 in a direction orthogonal to the arrow A direction that is the sliding direction of the keyboard 11 with respect to the casing 12, and one end of the cover 14 abuts against the outer peripheral portion of the casing 12. It is preferable that the configuration is attached. This is because the cover is moved in the same direction as the sliding direction of the keyboard relative to the casing and attached to the casing. For example, when the keyboard is pushed in the direction opposite to the arrow A during use, the keyboard covers the keyboard. This is because they are easily moved with respect to the casing and may fall off the casing.

以上のように構成されたノート型ＰＣ１について、キーボード１１が取付け部１３に取り付けられる状態を説明する。   A state in which the keyboard 11 is attached to the attachment portion 13 of the notebook PC 1 configured as described above will be described.

まず、筐体１２の取付け部１３には、キーボード１１の支持ベース１８が厚み方向に下降されて載置されることで、取付け部１３の係合溝１６内に、支持ベース１８の係合突部２１が挿入される。   First, the support base 18 of the keyboard 11 is lowered and placed on the attachment portion 13 of the housing 12 in the thickness direction, so that the engagement protrusion of the support base 18 is inserted into the engagement groove 16 of the attachment portion 13. Part 21 is inserted.

続いて、取付け部１３に載置されたキーボード１１を、キー配列の列方向に対して表示部６側からパームレスト側に移動させることで、取付け部１３の各係合溝１６に対して支持ベース１８の各係合突部２１が矢印Ａ方向にスライドされ、係合突部２１のロック爪２１ａと係合溝１６のロック溝１６ａとが係合される。   Subsequently, the keyboard 11 placed on the attachment portion 13 is moved from the display portion 6 side to the palm rest side with respect to the row direction of the key arrangement, so that the support base is supported with respect to each engagement groove 16 of the attachment portion 13. The 18 engagement protrusions 21 are slid in the direction of arrow A, and the lock claw 21a of the engagement protrusion 21 and the lock groove 16a of the engagement groove 16 are engaged.

ところで、キーボード１１の各キー１７を押圧操作したときに、キー１７の押圧力の成分は、取付け部１３に取り付けられたキーボード１１全体を表示部６側に向かって移動させる方向に作用する傾向がある。このため、係合突部２１のロック爪２１ａと係合溝１６のロック溝１６ａの係合状態を良好に保つためには、係合突部２１の一端部が表示部６側に向かって曲げられた断面略Ｌ字状に形成され、係合溝１６内に生じる空隙がパームレスト側に位置されているのが好ましい。   By the way, when each key 17 of the keyboard 11 is pressed, the component of the pressing force of the key 17 tends to act in the direction of moving the entire keyboard 11 attached to the attachment portion 13 toward the display portion 6 side. is there. For this reason, in order to keep the engagement state of the lock claw 21a of the engagement protrusion 21 and the lock groove 16a of the engagement groove 16 favorable, one end of the engagement protrusion 21 is bent toward the display unit 6 side. It is preferable that the gap formed in the substantially L-shaped cross section is formed on the palm rest side.

つまり、係合突部２１が、表示部６の反対側である手前側、いわゆるパームレスト側に向かって曲げられた形状に比較して、キーボード１１の操作時の押圧力によって、係合突部２１のロック爪２１ａと係合溝１６のロック溝１６ａとの係合状態が外れることが抑えられ、取付け部１３とキーボード１１との係合状態が良好に保たれる。   That is, the engagement protrusion 21 is pressed by the pressing force during operation of the keyboard 11 as compared with a shape bent toward the near side opposite to the display unit 6, that is, the so-called palm rest side. The engagement state between the lock claw 21a and the lock groove 16a of the engagement groove 16 is suppressed from being released, and the engagement state between the attachment portion 13 and the keyboard 11 is kept good.

また、この構成の場合には、筐体１２に対するキーボード１１のスライド量に応じて係合溝１６内に生じる空隙がパームレスト側に位置されているので、カバー１４はキーボード１１のパームレスト側に配置される。   Further, in the case of this configuration, since the gap generated in the engagement groove 16 according to the sliding amount of the keyboard 11 with respect to the housing 12 is located on the palm rest side, the cover 14 is disposed on the palm rest side of the keyboard 11. The

上述したように、ノート型ＰＣ１は、キーボード１１の支持ベース１８の、キーが配置されている面の反対面である主面側の中央部近傍に複数の係合突部２１が設けられ、これら係合突部２１が係合する係合溝１６が取付け部１３に設けられたことによって、支持ベース１８の主面の中央部近傍が取付け部１３に良好に係合されて固定される。   As described above, the notebook PC 1 is provided with a plurality of engaging protrusions 21 in the vicinity of the central portion on the main surface side of the support base 18 of the keyboard 11 opposite to the surface on which the keys are arranged. By providing the engagement groove 16 with which the engagement protrusion 21 engages in the attachment portion 13, the vicinity of the center portion of the main surface of the support base 18 is satisfactorily engaged and fixed to the attachment portion 13.

したがって、このノート型ＰＣ１によれば、取付け部１３に取り付けられた支持ベース１８の厚み方向に撓みが生じることが抑えられ、支持ベース１８の主面の中央部近傍と取付け部１３との間に隙間が生じることを防げるので、キーボード１１の中央部近傍の操作感触が損なわれない。   Therefore, according to the notebook type PC 1, it is possible to suppress the bending in the thickness direction of the support base 18 attached to the attachment portion 13, and between the vicinity of the center portion of the main surface of the support base 18 and the attachment portion 13. Since it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated, the operational feeling in the vicinity of the center portion of the keyboard 11 is not impaired.

すなわち、このノート型ＰＣ１によれば、取付け部１３に対するキーボード１１の着脱性を維持するとともに、各キー１７の操作感触を均一にし、キーボード１１の操作感触やクリック感を向上することができる。   That is, according to the notebook type PC 1, it is possible to maintain the detachability of the keyboard 11 with respect to the attachment portion 13, make the operation feeling of each key 17 uniform, and improve the operation feeling and click feeling of the keyboard 11.

なお、本実施形態では、係合溝１６および係合突部２１がキー配列の行方向に沿って直線状に形成されたが、例えばキー配列の行方向に所定の間隔をあけて分割されて配置される構成が採られてもよい。また、係合溝１６および係合突部２１は、必要に応じて、支持ベース１８および取付け部１３に、キー配列の列方向に沿って設けられる構成が採られてもよい。また、支持ベース１８側に係合溝１６が設けられ、取付け部１３側に係合突部２１が設けられる構成が採られてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the engagement grooves 16 and the engagement protrusions 21 are linearly formed in the row direction of the key array. For example, the engagement grooves 16 and the engagement projections 21 are divided at predetermined intervals in the row direction of the key array. The arrangement to be arranged may be adopted. Further, the engagement groove 16 and the engagement protrusion 21 may be provided on the support base 18 and the attachment portion 13 along the row direction of the key arrangement as necessary. Moreover, the structure by which the engagement groove | channel 16 is provided in the support base 18 side and the engagement protrusion 21 is provided in the attachment part 13 side may be taken.

（第２の実施形態）
第２の実施形態において、上述した実施形態と同一部材には便宜上、同一符号を付して説明を省略する。 (Second Embodiment)
In the second embodiment, the same members as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals for the sake of convenience, and description thereof is omitted.

図４および図５に示すように、第２の実施形態のノート型ＰＣ２は、複数の係合突部３１がキー配列の行方向に沿って設けられた支持ベース１８と、各係合突部３１が係合される複数の係合溝２６がキー配列の行方向に沿って設けられた取付け部１３とを備えている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the notebook PC 2 of the second embodiment includes a support base 18 in which a plurality of engagement protrusions 31 are provided along the row direction of the key arrangement, and each engagement protrusion. A plurality of engaging grooves 26 with which 31 is engaged are provided with mounting portions 13 provided along the row direction of the key arrangement.

係合溝２６は、支持ベース１８の係合突部３１の外形よりもやや大きい寸法に形成されており、係合溝２６に係合突部３１を係合溝２６の一端側から挿入して、係合突部３１を係合溝２６の他端側に向かって図５中矢印Ｂ方向にスライド移動させることで、係合突部３１が係合溝２６に係合される。   The engagement groove 26 is formed to have a size slightly larger than the outer shape of the engagement protrusion 31 of the support base 18, and the engagement protrusion 31 is inserted into the engagement groove 26 from one end side of the engagement groove 26. The engagement protrusion 31 is engaged with the engagement groove 26 by sliding the engagement protrusion 31 toward the other end of the engagement groove 26 in the direction of arrow B in FIG.

したがって、本実施形態の構成によれば、各係合突部３１が各係合溝２６に係合された状態で、例えば係合溝２６の表示部６側に空隙が存在しないので、キーボード１１の操作時の押圧力で、取付け部１３の係合溝２６に対して支持ベース１８の係合突部３１が移動することが防止される。したがって、取付け部１３に対するキーボード１１の係合状態が更に確実に確保される。   Therefore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, there is no gap on the display portion 6 side of the engagement groove 26 in a state where each engagement protrusion 31 is engaged with each engagement groove 26, for example. It is possible to prevent the engagement protrusion 31 of the support base 18 from moving with respect to the engagement groove 26 of the mounting portion 13 by the pressing force at the time of the operation. Therefore, the engagement state of the keyboard 11 with respect to the attachment portion 13 is further ensured.

取付け部１３にキーボード１１が取り付けられた後、取付け部１３に対するキーボード１１のスライド量に応じた空間を埋めるように、筐体１２に対してカバー３４が着脱可能に係合される。また、カバー３４も、第１の実施形態におけるカバー１４と同様に、筐体１２に対するキーボード１１のスライド方向である矢印Ｂ方向と直交する方向に、筐体１２に対して移動されて、カバー３４の一端が筐体１２の外周部に突き当てられて取り付けられる構成が好ましい。これによって、取付け部１３に取り付けられたキーボード１１を良好に固定することが可能になる。   After the keyboard 11 is attached to the attachment portion 13, the cover 34 is detachably engaged with the housing 12 so as to fill a space corresponding to the sliding amount of the keyboard 11 with respect to the attachment portion 13. Similarly to the cover 14 in the first embodiment, the cover 34 is also moved relative to the housing 12 in a direction orthogonal to the arrow B direction that is the sliding direction of the keyboard 11 with respect to the housing 12, and the cover 34 is moved. A structure in which one end of the housing is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the housing 12 is preferable. As a result, the keyboard 11 attached to the attachment portion 13 can be satisfactorily fixed.

上述したように、本実施形態のノート型ＰＣ２によれば、取付け部１３に対してキーボード１１がキー配列の行方向の一端側から他端側に向かってスライドさせて係合されることによって、キーボード１１の操作時の押圧力で、取付け部１３の係合溝２６に対して支持ベース１８の係合突部３１が移動することが防止され、取付け部１３にキーボード１１が係合された状態を良好に保つことができる。   As described above, according to the notebook PC 2 of the present embodiment, the keyboard 11 is engaged with the attachment portion 13 by sliding from the one end side in the row direction of the key arrangement toward the other end side. A state in which the engagement protrusion 31 of the support base 18 is prevented from moving with respect to the engagement groove 26 of the attachment portion 13 by the pressing force when operating the keyboard 11, and the keyboard 11 is engaged with the attachment portion 13. Can be kept good.

つまり、上述した第１の実施形態では、取付け部１３にキーボード１１が取付けられて、ロック爪２１ａがロック溝１６ａに係合された状態で、取付け部１３の各係合溝１６内に、係合溝１６に対する係合突部２１のスライド量に応じて、表示部６側に空隙が生じてしてしまう。しかしながら、本実施形態では、各係合突部３１が各係合溝２６に係合された状態で、キーボード１１の表示部６側への移動を可能にする空隙が係合溝２６内に存在しないので、係合突部３１と係合溝２６との係合状態が良好に保つことができる。   In other words, in the first embodiment described above, the keyboard 11 is attached to the attachment portion 13 and the lock claw 21a is engaged with the lock groove 16a, and the engagement groove 16 of the attachment portion 13 is engaged. Depending on the sliding amount of the engaging projection 21 with respect to the joint groove 16, a gap is generated on the display unit 6 side. However, in this embodiment, there is a gap in the engagement groove 26 that allows the keyboard 11 to move to the display unit 6 side in a state where each engagement protrusion 31 is engaged with each engagement groove 26. Therefore, the engagement state between the engagement protrusion 31 and the engagement groove 26 can be kept good.

以下、キーボードの支持ベースが取付け部に係合される構成の他の例について図面を参照して説明する。   Hereinafter, another example of the configuration in which the support base of the keyboard is engaged with the mounting portion will be described with reference to the drawings.
