Description

按鍵及其鍵盤 Keys and their keyboards

本發明關於一種按鍵及其鍵盤，尤指一種利用連接座夾壓薄膜電路板之破孔邊緣部的按鍵及其鍵盤。 The present invention relates to a key and its keyboard, in particular to a key and its keyboard using a connecting seat to clamp the edge of a hole in a film circuit board.

就目前個人電腦的使用習慣而言，鍵盤為不可或缺的輸入設備之一，用以輸入文字、符號或數字。不僅如此，舉凡日常生活所接觸的消費性電子產品或是工業界使用的大型加工設備，皆需設有按鍵結構作為輸入裝置，以操作上述之電子產品與加工設備。 As far as current personal computer usage habits are concerned, the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for inputting characters, symbols or numbers. Not only that, but all consumer electronic products or large-scale processing equipment used in the industry need to be provided with a key structure as an input device to operate the above-mentioned electronic products and processing equipment.

一般而言，鍵盤係使用薄膜電路板(membrane)以進行按鍵訊號之觸發，其中薄膜電路板係由上電路膜片、絕緣膜片以及下電路膜片所組成。簡言之，使用者只要下壓鍵盤上的按鍵，上電路膜片上所對應的接觸點即可通過絕緣膜片上的孔洞而與下電路膜片上所對應的接觸點導通，從而產生相對應之按鍵訊號。 Generally speaking, the keyboard uses a thin film circuit board (membrane) to trigger the key signal, wherein the thin film circuit board is composed of an upper circuit membrane, an insulating membrane and a lower circuit membrane. In short, as long as the user presses down the key on the keyboard, the corresponding contact point on the upper circuit diaphragm can be conducted with the corresponding contact point on the lower circuit diaphragm through the hole in the insulating diaphragm, thereby generating a corresponding Corresponding key signal.

在實際應用中，薄膜電路板上對應各個按鍵之支撐機構(如剪刀腳支撐機構等)的位置通常需要形成相對應破孔，使得底座上的連接座可穿過破孔以連接至支撐機構。然而，在此設計下，若是在使用鍵盤期間發生使用者不慎將液體(如水、飲料等)潑濺於鍵盤上的情況，就會讓液體經由薄膜電路板之破孔邊緣流入薄膜電路板之膜片間隙中，從而導致電路短路損壞的情形發生。 In practical application, corresponding perforations are generally required to be formed on the film circuit board corresponding to the positions of the supporting mechanisms of each button (such as the scissor foot supporting mechanism, etc.), so that the connecting seat on the base can pass through the perforations to connect to the supporting mechanism. However, under this design, if the user accidentally spills liquid (such as water, drinks, etc.) on the keyboard during the use of the keyboard, the liquid will flow into the thin film circuit board through the edge of the hole. Diaphragm gap, resulting in circuit short circuit damage occurs.

本發明之目的在於提供一種一種利用連接座夾壓薄膜電路板之破孔邊緣部的按鍵及其鍵盤，藉以解決上述問題。 The object of the present invention is to provide a key and keyboard which utilizes a connection seat to clamp the edge of the perforated film circuit board, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

根據一實施例，本發明之按鍵包含一鍵帽、一底板、至少一連接座、一薄膜電路板，以及一支撐機構。該底板具有至少一第一破孔。該至少一連接座以熱熔成型或嵌入射出成型之方式固定在該至少一第一破孔上。該薄膜電路板具有對應該至少一第一破孔之至少一第二破孔，該至少一第二破孔具有一破孔邊緣部，該破孔邊緣部在該至少一連接座固定於該至少一第一破孔時被夾持於該至少一連接座以及該底板之間，使得該薄膜電路板固設於該底板。該支撐機構連接於該至少一連接座以及該鍵帽之間，使得該鍵帽可隨著該支撐機構相對於該底板上下移動。 According to an embodiment, the button of the present invention includes a keycap, a bottom plate, at least one connecting seat, a thin film circuit board, and a supporting mechanism. The bottom plate has at least one first hole. The at least one connection seat is fixed on the at least one first hole by hot melt molding or insert injection molding. The film circuit board has at least one second hole corresponding to the at least one first hole, and the at least one second hole has a hole edge, and the hole edge is fixed on the at least one connecting seat A first hole is clamped between the at least one connecting seat and the base plate, so that the thin film circuit board is fixed on the base plate. The supporting mechanism is connected between the at least one connecting base and the keycap, so that the keycap can move up and down relative to the bottom plate along with the supporting mechanism.

根據另一實施例，本發明之鍵盤包含一底板、一薄膜電路板，以及複數個按鍵。該底板具有複數個第一破孔。該薄膜電路板具有對應該複數個第一破孔之複數個第二破孔，每一第二破孔具有一破孔邊緣部。每一按鍵包含一鍵帽、至少一連接座，以及一支撐機構。該至少一連接座以熱熔成型或嵌入射出成型之方式固定在相對應第一破孔上且與該底板共同夾持該破孔邊緣部，使得該薄膜電路板固設於該底板。該支撐機構連接於該至少一連接座以及該鍵帽之間，使得該鍵帽可隨著該支撐機構相對於該底板上下移動。 According to another embodiment, the keyboard of the present invention includes a base plate, a thin film circuit board, and a plurality of keys. The bottom plate has a plurality of first perforations. The film circuit board has a plurality of second perforations corresponding to the plurality of first perforations, and each second perforation has a perforation edge. Each button includes a key cap, at least one connecting seat, and a supporting mechanism. The at least one connecting seat is fixed on the corresponding first hole by hot-melt molding or insert injection molding, and clamps the edge of the hole together with the base plate, so that the film circuit board is fixed on the base plate. The supporting mechanism is connected between the at least one connecting base and the keycap, so that the keycap can move up and down relative to the bottom plate along with the supporting mechanism.

透過上述設計，若是使用者在操作鍵盤的期間不慎將液體(如水、飲料等)潑灑在鍵盤上，此時由於薄膜電路板之第二破孔的破孔邊緣部係已被夾持於連接座以及底板之間，因此即可確實地阻止液體從第二破孔的破孔邊緣部流入薄膜電路板之膜片間隙中，從而有效地避免薄膜電路板短路損壞的情形發生。 Through the above design, if the user accidentally spills liquid (such as water, beverage, etc.) Between the seat and the bottom plate, the liquid can be reliably prevented from flowing into the diaphragm gap of the thin film circuit board from the perforation edge of the second perforation, thereby effectively avoiding short circuit damage to the thin film circuit board.
