Abstract
Description
本創作是有關於一種剪刀式支撐組件及鍵盤。 This creation is about a scissor support assembly and keyboard.
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，用以輸入文字或數字。不僅如此，舉凡日常生活所接觸的消費級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。 In terms of the current usage habits of personal computers, the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for inputting text or numbers. Moreover, the consumer-grade electronic products that are in contact with everyday life or the large-scale processing equipment used in the industry need to have a button structure as an input device to operate the above-mentioned electronic products and processing equipment.
對於鍵盤上的按鍵來說，為了平衡使用者在每一個按鍵上的施力，通常會在按鍵的鍵帽之下設置一種剪刀式支撐結構，用以引導鍵帽做垂直移動。因此，不論施力於鍵帽的側邊或角落，都能將施力平均地分散於整個鍵帽面上，使得按下整個按鍵變得很簡單，也讓使用者更容易地操作按鍵。 For the keys on the keyboard, in order to balance the force applied by the user on each button, a scissor-type support structure is usually arranged under the key cap of the button to guide the key cap to move vertically. Therefore, regardless of the force applied to the side or corner of the keycap, the force can be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the keycap, making it easy to press the entire button and making it easier for the user to operate the button.
一般而言，目前習知的按鍵中所採用的剪刀式支撐結構，大多是由兩個支撐件所構成的，即一個外剪與一個內剪相互樞接形成。若按鍵採用彈性圓頂(dome)作為鍵帽之復位件，則兩個支撐件的中央還需設有破孔以供彈性圓頂穿過。但對於長型按鍵(例如，空白鍵)來說，如第1圖所示，其為 繪示習知長型按鍵400的立體***圖。為加強按壓長型按鍵400之力的傳遞，一般會採用兩組剪刀式支撐結構430分別固定鍵帽420兩端，並於兩剪刀式支撐結構430之間，即鍵帽420的中央正下方，設置彈性圓頂440作為復位件。因此，於長型按鍵400中，彈性圓頂440並未設置於剪刀式支撐結構430的任一內剪432中央的破孔432a中。 In general, the scissor-type support structure used in the conventional buttons is mostly composed of two support members, that is, an outer shear and an inner shear are pivotally connected to each other. If the button uses a flexible dome as the resetting member of the keycap, the center of the two supporting members also needs to have a hole for the elastic dome to pass through. But for long buttons (for example, blank buttons), as shown in Figure 1, it is A three-dimensional exploded view of the conventional long button 400 is shown. In order to enhance the transmission of the force of pressing the long button 400, two sets of scissor-type support structures 430 are generally used to fix the two ends of the keycap 420 respectively, and between the two scissor-type support structures 430, that is, directly below the center of the keycap 420, The elastic dome 440 is provided as a reset member. Therefore, in the elongated button 400, the elastic dome 440 is not disposed in the hole 432a in the center of any of the inner shears 432 of the scissor support structure 430.
然而，在第1圖所示的剪刀式支撐組件440中，內剪432內部具有破孔432a，而外剪431必須開設一足夠大的穿孔431a以放置及樞接內剪432，如此一來，將導致外剪431的橫樑厚度不夠寬，因此支撐強度也會不足，進而影響長型按鍵400按壓時的力量傳遞效果。為了解決此問題，一般的作法是在長型按鍵400的鍵帽420下再增設平衡桿450，但這又會增加鍵盤的整體生產成本及按壓時平衡桿450產生的噪音問題。 However, in the scissor-type support assembly 440 shown in FIG. 1, the inner shear 432 has a hole 432a inside, and the outer shear 431 must have a sufficiently large through hole 431a for placing and pivoting the inner shear 432, so that The thickness of the beam that causes the outer shear 431 is not wide enough, so the support strength is also insufficient, thereby affecting the force transmission effect when the long button 400 is pressed. In order to solve this problem, it is common practice to add a balance bar 450 under the keycap 420 of the long button 400, but this will increase the overall production cost of the keyboard and the noise problem generated by the balance bar 450 when pressed.
再者，隨著長型按鍵400剪刀式支撐結構數量的增加，用於固定剪刀式支撐結構430與底板410，以及固定剪刀式支撐結構430與鍵帽420的卡勾數量也因應增加。舉例來說，前述的長型按鍵400具有組兩剪刀式支撐結構430，每組剪刀式支撐結構430都具有兩個支撐件(內剪431及外剪432)，即每一長型按鍵400具有四個支撐件，而每一支撐件又各自在四個角落具有連接端部431b、431c、432b、432c，因此，每一長型按鍵400必須在鍵帽420及底板410上設置16個對應的卡勾421、411來固定剪刀式支撐結構430，除了卡勾421、411材料成本提昇外，亦增加了組裝的複雜度。 Furthermore, as the number of scissor-type support structures of the elongated button 400 increases, the number of hooks for fixing the scissor-type support structure 430 and the bottom plate 410, as well as the fixed scissor-type support structure 430 and the keycap 420, is also increased. For example, the aforementioned long button 400 has a set of two scissor support structures 430, each set of scissor support structures 430 having two support members (internal shear 431 and outer shear 432), ie each elongated button 400 has Four support members, each of which has a connecting end portion 431b, 431c, 432b, 432c at each of the four corners. Therefore, each long type button 400 must have 16 corresponding ones on the key cap 420 and the bottom plate 410. The hooks 421 and 411 are used to fix the scissor support structure 430. In addition to the material cost of the hooks 421 and 411, the assembly complexity is also increased.
因此，如何提出一種可解決上述問題的剪刀式支 撐組件及鍵盤，是目前業界亟欲投入研發資源解決的問題之一。 Therefore, how to propose a scissor branch that can solve the above problems The support component and the keyboard are one of the problems that the industry is eager to invest in research and development resources.

Each second support member has at least one third connection end and at least one fourth connection end. The third connection configuration is connected to the backplane. The second connection is configured to be coupled to the keycap.
為了達到上述目的，依據本創作之另一實施方式，一種鍵盤包含底板以及按鍵組件。按鍵組件包含鍵帽以及上述之剪刀式支撐組件。剪刀式支撐組件設置於底板上並支撐鍵帽。 In order to achieve the above object, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a keyboard includes a bottom plate and a key assembly. The button assembly includes a keycap and the scissor support assembly described above. The scissor support assembly is disposed on the bottom plate and supports the keycap.
綜上所述，本創作之剪刀式支撐組件是由一個第一支撐件以及兩個第二支撐件所構成的，且兩第二支撐件分別樞接於第一支撐件的兩鏤空部內。換言之，第一支撐件呈長條型，適合應用至具有長條型鍵帽之按鍵組件。因此，當長條型鍵帽被按壓時，本創作之第一支撐件可以引導長條型鍵帽平衡地上升與下降，使得採用本創作之剪刀式支撐組件的鍵盤可減少使用平衡桿，從而可降低鍵盤的生產成本，改善組裝效率，並減少操作時所產生的噪音。並且，第一支撐件還具有鄰接於兩鏤空部之間的主肋部，且主肋部具有穿孔以供復位件穿越， 由於穿孔僅設於第一支撐件上，且穿孔內部毋須再放置另一支撐件，故可避免習知穿孔內徑過大導致外剪橫樑肉厚不足之問題，，因此第一支撐件的橫樑可以加寬，進而可增進按壓鍵帽之邊角的力量傳遞效果。而未設有穿孔之第二支撐件在與第一支撐件的樞接的軸線方向上設置有加強肋，可再進一步提昇按鍵按壓時軸向的傳動效果，同時可增強本創作之剪刀式支撐組件的整體結構強度。再者，第一支撐件還可設置分別延伸橫跨兩鏤空部之兩輔助肋部，以進一步增加第一支撐件的結構強度。另一方面，本創作大幅降低了卡勾的數量，亦具有降低成本及組裝簡便之功效。 In summary, the scissor-type support assembly of the present invention is composed of a first support member and two second support members, and the two second support members are respectively pivotally connected to the two hollow portions of the first support member. In other words, the first support member is of a long strip type and is suitable for application to a key assembly having a long-type keycap. Therefore, when the long-type keycap is pressed, the first support member of the present invention can guide the elongated keycap to rise and fall in a balanced manner, so that the keyboard using the scissor-type support assembly of the present invention can reduce the use of the balance bar, thereby It can reduce the production cost of the keyboard, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the noise generated during operation. And, the first support member further has a main rib adjacent to the two hollow portions, and the main rib portion has a perforation for the reset member to pass through, Since the perforation is only provided on the first support member, and the other support member is not required to be placed inside the perforation, the problem that the outer diameter of the perforation is too large and the outer shear beam is insufficient in thickness can be avoided, so that the cross member of the first support member can be The widening further increases the force transmission effect of pressing the corners of the keycap. The second support member not provided with the perforation is provided with a reinforcing rib in the axial direction of the pivotal connection with the first support member, which can further enhance the axial transmission effect when the button is pressed, and can enhance the scissor support of the creation.

以下將以圖式揭露本創作之複數個實施方式，為明確說明起見，許多實務上的細節將在以下敘述中一併說明。然而，應瞭解到，這些實務上的細節不應用以限制本創作。也就是說，在本創作部分實施方式中，這些實務上的細節是非必要的。此外，為簡化圖式起見，一些習知慣用的結構與元件在圖式中將以簡單示意的方式繪示之。 In the following, a plurality of embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed in the drawings. For the sake of clarity, a number of practical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not applied to limit the creation. That is to say, in the implementation part of this creation, these practical details are not necessary. In addition, some of the conventional structures and elements are shown in the drawings in a simplified schematic manner in order to simplify the drawings.
請參照第2圖。第2圖為繪示本創作一實施方式之鍵盤100的立體圖。如第2圖所示，本實施方式之鍵盤100可以是供桌上型電腦使用之外接鍵盤(例如，PS2介面之鍵盤或USB介面之鍵盤)或是包含鍵盤形式之輸入裝置的電腦系統(例如，筆記型電腦或膝上型電腦)，但並不以此為限。換言之，本創作之鍵盤100之概念可以應用於任何以按鍵作為輸入介面的電子產品。 Please refer to Figure 2. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the keyboard 100 of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 100 of the present embodiment may be a computer system (for example, a keyboard of a PS2 interface or a keyboard of a USB interface) for a desktop computer or a computer system including an input device in the form of a keyboard (for example, Notebook or laptop), but not limited to this. In other words, the concept of the keyboard 100 of the present invention can be applied to any electronic product that uses a button as an input interface.
請參照第3圖，其為繪示本創作一實施方式之剪刀式支撐組件130的立體圖。如第2圖與第3圖所示，於本實施方式中，鍵盤100包含底板110以及複數個按鍵組件。按鍵組件包含鍵帽120以及剪刀式支撐組件130。剪刀式支撐組件130設置於底板110上並支撐鍵帽120。剪刀式支撐組件130包含第一支撐件131以及兩第二支撐件132(第3圖僅標示一個)。第一支撐件131具有兩鏤空部131a(第3圖僅標示一個)。兩第二支 撐件132分別位於兩鏤空部131a內，並沿著軸線A與第一支撐件131樞接。 Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a perspective view of the scissors-type support assembly 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the keyboard 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a plurality of key assemblies. The button assembly includes a keycap 120 and a scissor support assembly 130. The scissor support assembly 130 is disposed on the bottom plate 110 and supports the keycap 120. The scissor support assembly 130 includes a first support member 131 and two second support members 132 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 3). The first support member 131 has two hollow portions 131a (only one is shown in Fig. 3). Two second The struts 132 are respectively located in the two hollow portions 131a and are pivotally connected to the first support member 131 along the axis A.
換言之，本實施方式之第一支撐件131呈長條型，適合應用至如第2圖所示具有長條型鍵帽120之按鍵組件。因此，當長條型鍵帽120被按壓時，第一支撐件131可以引導長條型鍵帽120平衡地上升與下降，使得採用本實施方式之剪刀式支撐組件130的鍵盤100可減少使用習知的平衡桿，從而可降低鍵盤100的生產成本，改善組裝效率，並減少操作時所產生的噪音(因習知平衡桿在操作時會產生金屬的撞擊聲)。 In other words, the first support member 131 of the present embodiment has a long strip shape and is suitable for application to a button assembly having a long-type keycap 120 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the elongated keycap 120 is pressed, the first support member 131 can guide the elongated keycap 120 to rise and fall in a balanced manner, so that the keyboard 100 using the scissors-type support assembly 130 of the present embodiment can reduce the use of the keyboard 100. The balance bar is known, thereby reducing the production cost of the keyboard 100, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the noise generated during operation (because the balance bar generates a metal impact sound during operation).
具體來說，第一支撐件131還具有主肋部131b。主肋部131b鄰接於鏤空部131a之間，並具有穿孔131b1。於一些實施方式中，鍵盤100還可包含線路板(圖未示)，而按鍵組件還可包含復位件(圖未示)。線路板可設置於底板110上。主肋部131b的穿孔131b1之內以及鍵帽120下方形成一容置空間，以供復位件設置。由於穿孔131b1僅設於第一支撐件131的主肋部131b上，相較於習知(第1圖所示)外剪431的穿孔431a中因需放置內剪432，導致外剪431橫樑肉厚不足之問題，本創作的第一支撐件131的橫樑可以加寬，故可增強第一支撐件131的整體結構強度，同時提昇按壓鍵帽120之邊角的力量傳遞效果。 Specifically, the first support member 131 also has a main rib 131b. The main rib 131b is adjacent to the hollow portion 131a and has a through hole 131b1. In some embodiments, the keyboard 100 can also include a circuit board (not shown), and the button assembly can also include a reset member (not shown). The circuit board can be disposed on the bottom plate 110. An accommodating space is formed in the through hole 131b1 of the main rib 131b and below the key cap 120 for the reset member to be disposed. Since the through hole 131b1 is provided only on the main rib 131b of the first support member 131, the inner shear 432 is required to be placed in the perforation 431a of the outer shear 431 as compared with the conventional (shown in FIG. 1). In the problem of insufficient thickness, the beam of the first support member 131 of the present invention can be widened, so that the overall structural strength of the first support member 131 can be enhanced, and the force transmission effect of pressing the corners of the keycap 120 can be enhanced.
另一方面，第二支撐件132具有一加強肋133，加強肋133橫跨第二支撐件132內部，且平行於第二支撐件132與第一支撐件131樞接軸線A之方向設置，較佳地，加強肋133 位於軸線A上，藉此，可增強剪刀式支撐組件130的整體結構強度，進一步提昇按壓鍵帽120時的軸向傳動效果。於本實施例中，第二支撐件132更具有加強板134，如第3圖所示，每一第二支撐件132具有兩加強板134，分別鄰接第二支撐件132之兩側臂，且垂直於加強肋133設置，即加強肋133與兩加強板134於第二支撐件132內排列成H型近乎實心的結構，可有效補強剪刀式支撐組件130的強度。 On the other hand, the second support member 132 has a reinforcing rib 133 that spans the inside of the second support member 132 and is disposed parallel to the direction in which the second support member 132 and the first support member 131 are pivoted to the axis A. Good place, strengthening ribs 133 Located on the axis A, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the scissor support assembly 130, further enhancing the axial transmission effect when the keycap 120 is pressed. In this embodiment, the second support member 132 further has a reinforcing plate 134. As shown in FIG. 3, each of the second supporting members 132 has two reinforcing plates 134 respectively adjacent to the two sides of the second supporting member 132, and Arranged perpendicular to the reinforcing ribs 133, that is, the reinforcing ribs 133 and the two reinforcing plates 134 are arranged in the second support member 132 in an H-shaped near-solid structure, which can effectively reinforce the strength of the scissor-type support assembly 130.
當鍵帽120接受外力而被下壓時，復位件可產生一頂撐鍵帽120之抗力，進而提供使用者按壓之手感，且經由剪刀式支撐組件130的導引，被下壓之鍵帽120可移動至最低位置。而當施加於鍵帽120的外力釋放之後，復位件可藉由所產生的抗力，使得前述被下壓之鍵帽120回復至最高位置。按鍵組件的鍵帽120被按壓而使線路板產生觸發訊號的機制與原理可參考相關習知技術，在此容不介紹。 When the key cap 120 is pressed down by receiving an external force, the restoring member can generate a resistance of the top supporting key cap 120, thereby providing a feeling of pressing by the user, and being guided by the scissors supporting assembly 130, the keycap being pressed down 120 can be moved to the lowest position. When the external force applied to the keycap 120 is released, the reset member can return the previously depressed keycap 120 to the highest position by the generated resistance. The mechanism and principle of the button cap 120 of the button assembly being pressed to cause the trigger signal to be generated by the circuit board can be referred to the related art, and will not be described here.
於一實施方式中，復位件可為一彈性體，例如橡膠圓頂(rubber dome)，但本創作並不以此為限。於實際應用中，復位件亦可替換為其他具有類似功能之元件，例如磁性元件。 In one embodiment, the reset member may be an elastic body such as a rubber dome, but the creation is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the reset member can also be replaced with other components having similar functions, such as magnetic components.
再回到第3圖，於本實施方式中，第一支撐件131還具有兩第一連接端131c以及兩第二連接端131d。第一連接端131c與第二連接端131d分別位於第一支撐件131的兩相對邊緣，且靠近角落端部處。每一第二支撐件132具有一第三連接端132a以及一第四連接端132b。第三連接端132a與第四連接端132b分別位於第二支撐件132的兩相對邊緣的中心處。第 一支撐件131可藉由第一連接端131c與第二連接端131d分別與底板110及鍵帽120相銜接，而第二支撐件132可由第三連接端132a與第四連接端132b分別與底板110及鍵帽120相銜接。其中，第一支撐件131的第一連接端131c與第二支撐件132的第四連接端132b相鄰近，且位於軸線A的一側(即第3圖的右上側)，而第一支撐件131的第二連接端131d與第二支撐件132的第三連接端132a相鄰近，且位於軸線A的另一側(即第3圖的左下側)。舉例來說，第一支撐件131的第一連接端131c與第二支撐件132的第四連接端132b可為樞接端，並可分別樞接至底板110與鍵帽120，而第一支撐件131的第二連接端131d與第二支撐件132的第三連接端132a可為滑動端，並可分別可滑動地銜接鍵帽120與底板110。 Returning to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the first support member 131 further has two first connecting ends 131c and two second connecting ends 131d. The first connecting end 131c and the second connecting end 131d are respectively located at opposite edges of the first supporting member 131 and near the corner end. Each of the second support members 132 has a third connecting end 132a and a fourth connecting end 132b. The third connecting end 132a and the fourth connecting end 132b are respectively located at the centers of the opposite edges of the second support member 132. First A support member 131 can be engaged with the bottom plate 110 and the key cap 120 by the first connecting end 131c and the second connecting end 131d, respectively, and the second supporting member 132 can be respectively connected to the bottom plate by the third connecting end 132a and the fourth connecting end 132b. 110 and the keycap 120 are engaged.

For example, the first connecting end 131c of the first supporting member 131 and the fourth connecting end 132b of the second supporting member 132 can be pivotal ends, and can be respectively pivoted to the bottom plate 110 and the key cap 120, and the first support The second connecting end 131d of the piece 131 and the third connecting end 132a of the second supporting member 132 can be sliding ends, and can respectively slidably engage the key cap 120 and the bottom plate 110.
根據本創作之構想，本創作的剪刀式支撐組件130包括一第一支撐件131及兩第二支撐件132。其中第一支撐件131具有四個連接端(第一連接端131c及第二連接端131d)，兩第二支撐件132分別具有兩連接端(第四連接端132b、第三連接端132a)，故底板110和鍵帽120僅需對應設置8個卡勾即可固定剪刀式支撐組件130。相較於習知技術，本創作大幅降低了卡勾的數量，故具有降低成本及組裝簡便之優點。再者，支撐件上設置連接端的區域，其材料需相應地做局部的裁切、開槽或鏤空，導致支撐件的軸向強度變弱，因此，本創作藉由降低支撐件連接端的數量，使得支撐件沿軸向的結構較為連續，進一步達到提昇剪刀式支撐組件結構強度之功效。 According to the concept of the present creation, the scissor-type support assembly 130 of the present invention includes a first support member 131 and two second support members 132. The first support member 131 has four connecting ends (the first connecting end 131c and the second connecting end 131d), and the two second supporting members 132 respectively have two connecting ends (the fourth connecting end 132b and the third connecting end 132a). Therefore, the bottom plate 110 and the key cap 120 need only correspondingly set 8 hooks to fix the scissors support assembly 130. Compared with the prior art, this creation greatly reduces the number of hooks, so it has the advantages of cost reduction and ease of assembly. Furthermore, the area on the support member where the connection end is provided, the material needs to be partially cut, slotted or hollowed out correspondingly, resulting in weakening of the axial strength of the support member. Therefore, the present invention reduces the number of the connection ends of the support member by The structure of the support member in the axial direction is relatively continuous, and the effect of improving the structural strength of the scissors support assembly is further achieved.
請參照第4圖，其為繪示本創作另一實施方式之剪刀式支撐組件230的立體圖。如第4圖所示，於本實施方式中，剪刀式支撐組件230包含第一支撐件131以及兩第二支撐件232，其中第一支撐件131與第3圖所示之第一支撐件131相同，因此其具體的結構、功能以及與其他元件之間的連接關係可參照前述相關說明，在此不再贅述。 Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a perspective view of a scissors-type support assembly 230 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

於實際應用中，每一第二支撐件232亦可具有不同數量之第三連接端232a與第四連接端232b，以增加按鍵組件(乃至於鍵盤100整體)的設計彈性。舉例來說，於一些實施方式中，第二支撐件232可具有一個第三連接端232a以及兩個第四連接端232b。於另一些實施方式中，第二支撐件232可具 有兩個第三連接端232a以及一個第四連接端232b。 In practical applications, each second support member 232 can also have a different number of third connection ends 232a and fourth connection ends 232b to increase the design flexibility of the button assembly (or even the keyboard 100 as a whole). For example, in some embodiments, the second support 232 can have a third connection end 232a and two fourth connection ends 232b. In other embodiments, the second support member 232 can have There are two third connection ends 232a and one fourth connection end 232b.
請參照第5A圖以及第5B圖。第5A圖為繪示本創作另一實施方式之剪刀式支撐組件330的立體圖。第5B圖為繪示第5A圖中之剪刀式支撐組件330的***圖。如第5A圖與第5B圖所示，於本實施方式中，剪刀式支撐組件330包含第一支撐件331以及兩第二支撐件332，其中第一支撐件331所具有的鏤空部331a、主肋部331b、穿孔331b1、兩第一連接端331c以及兩第二連接端331d分別與第4圖所示之第一支撐件131的對應結構實質上相同，而每一第二支撐件332所具有的兩第三連接端332a與兩第四連接端332b分別與第4圖所示之第二支撐件232的對應結構實質上相同，因此這些部位的具體的結構、功能以及與其他元件之間的連接關係可參照前述相關說明，在此不再贅述。 Please refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5B. FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing the scissors type support assembly 330 of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5B is an exploded view showing the scissor support assembly 330 of Figure 5A. As shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B , in the present embodiment, the scissor support assembly 330 includes a first support member 331 and two second support members 332 , wherein the first support member 331 has a hollow portion 331a and a main portion. The rib 331b, the through hole 331b1, the two first connecting ends 331c, and the two second connecting ends 331d are substantially the same as the corresponding structures of the first supporting member 131 shown in FIG. 4, and each of the second supporting members 332 has The two third connecting ends 332a and the two fourth connecting ends 332b are substantially the same as the corresponding structures of the second supporting members 232 shown in FIG. 4, so the specific structure, function and other components between the parts are For the connection relationship, reference may be made to the foregoing related description, and details are not described herein again.
在此要說明的是，本實施方式之剪刀式支撐組件330與第4圖所示之剪刀式支撐組件230的相異之處，在於本實施方式之第一支撐件331還具有兩輔助肋部331e(第5A圖與第5B圖各僅標示一個)。輔助肋部331e係垂直於軸線A設置，且分別延伸橫跨鏤空部331a。並且，每一第二支撐件332具有加強肋333及一加強板334(如第5B圖所示)，加強肋333設置於第二支撐件332與第一支撐件331樞接軸線A上，加強板334垂直於軸線A且鄰近第三連接端332a或第四連接端332b之一側設置，即第二支撐件332呈一U字型結構(如第5B圖所示)。於本實施例中，加強板334鄰近第三連接端332a(第二支撐件332與底板110連接側)設置，並形成一分隔槽332c，配置以供對 應之輔助肋部331e穿越。藉此，第一支撐件331的結構強度還可藉由輔助肋部331e而進一步獲得增強。 It should be noted that the scissors support assembly 330 of the present embodiment is different from the scissors support assembly 230 shown in FIG. 4 in that the first support member 331 of the present embodiment further has two auxiliary ribs. 331e (only one of each of the 5A and 5B drawings). The auxiliary ribs 331e are disposed perpendicular to the axis A and extend across the hollow portion 331a, respectively. Moreover, each of the second supporting members 332 has a reinforcing rib 333 and a reinforcing plate 334 (as shown in FIG. 5B). The reinforcing rib 333 is disposed on the pivoting axis A of the second supporting member 332 and the first supporting member 331 to strengthen The plate 334 is disposed perpendicular to the axis A and adjacent to one side of the third connecting end 332a or the fourth connecting end 332b, that is, the second supporting member 332 has a U-shaped structure (as shown in FIG. 5B). In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 334 is disposed adjacent to the third connecting end 332a (the connecting side of the second supporting member 332 and the bottom plate 110), and forms a dividing groove 332c, which is configured to be used for The auxiliary rib 331e should pass through. Thereby, the structural strength of the first support member 331 can be further enhanced by the auxiliary rib portion 331e.
由以上對於本創作之具體實施方式之詳述，可以明顯地看出，本創作之剪刀式支撐組件是由一個第一支撐件以及兩個第二支撐件所構成的，且兩第二支撐件分別樞接於第一支撐件的兩鏤空部內。換言之，第一支撐件呈長條型，適合應用至具有長條型鍵帽之按鍵組件。因此，當長條型鍵帽被按壓時，本創作之第一支撐件可以引導長條型鍵帽平衡地上升與下降，使得採用本創作之剪刀式支撐組件的鍵盤可減少使用平衡桿，從而可降低鍵盤的生產成本，改善組裝效率，並減少操作時所產生的噪音。並且，第一支撐件還具有鄰接於兩鏤空部之間的主肋部，且主肋部具有穿孔以供復位件穿越，由於穿孔僅設於第一支撐件上，且穿孔內部毋須再放置另一支撐件，故可避免習知穿孔內徑過大導致外剪橫樑肉厚不足之問題，，因此第一支撐件的橫樑可以加寬，進而可增進按壓鍵帽之邊角的力量傳遞效果。而未設有穿孔之第二支撐件在與第一支撐件的樞接的軸線方向上設置有加強肋，可再進一步提昇按鍵按壓時軸向的傳動效果，同時可增強本創作之剪刀式支撐組件的整體結構強度。再者，第一支撐件還可設置分別延伸橫跨兩鏤空部之兩輔助肋部，以進一步增加第一支撐件的結構強度。另一方面，本創作大幅降低了卡勾的數量，亦具有降低成本及組裝簡便之功效。 From the above detailed description of the specific embodiment of the present invention, it can be clearly seen that the scissor-type support assembly of the present invention is composed of one first support member and two second support members, and two second support members. They are respectively pivotally connected to the two hollow portions of the first support member. In other words, the first support member is of a long strip type and is suitable for application to a key assembly having a long-type keycap. Therefore, when the long-type keycap is pressed, the first support member of the present invention can guide the elongated keycap to rise and fall in a balanced manner, so that the keyboard using the scissor-type support assembly of the present invention can reduce the use of the balance bar, thereby It can reduce the production cost of the keyboard, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the noise generated during operation. Moreover, the first support member further has a main rib adjacent to between the two hollow portions, and the main rib portion has a perforation for the reset member to pass through, since the through hole is only provided on the first support member, and the inner portion of the perforation does not need to be placed another A support member can avoid the problem that the outer diameter of the perforation is too large, resulting in insufficient thickness of the outer shear beam. Therefore, the cross member of the first support member can be widened, thereby enhancing the force transmission effect of pressing the corners of the keycap. The second support member not provided with the perforation is provided with a reinforcing rib in the axial direction of the pivotal connection with the first support member, which can further enhance the axial transmission effect when the button is pressed, and can enhance the scissor support of the creation. The overall structural strength of the component. Furthermore, the first support member may also be provided with two auxiliary ribs respectively extending across the two hollow portions to further increase the structural strength of the first support member. On the other hand, this creation greatly reduces the number of hooks, and also has the effect of reducing costs and assembling.
