Description

鍵盤組件Keyboard components

本新型創作是有關於一種組件，且特別是有關於一種鍵盤組件。The invention relates to a component, and in particular to a keyboard component.

現今的鍵盤為了追求攜帶性而縮減鍵盤的厚度，使得鍵盤的按鍵行程過短而影響按鍵的按壓回饋，進而影響鍵盤操作性，而使使用者無法有最佳的遊戲體驗。Today's keyboards are reduced in thickness in pursuit of portability, which results in the keyboard's key stroke being too short and affecting the key press feedback, which in turn affects the keyboard's operability, preventing users from having the best gaming experience.

本新型創作提供一種鍵盤組件，可增加鍵帽的移動行程以提升鍵盤組件的操作性。This new invention provides a keyboard assembly that can increase the movement stroke of the keycap to improve the operability of the keyboard assembly.

本新型創作的鍵盤組件包括一外框、一底板及一升降模組。升降模組沿一第一軸線可動地連接於外框。升降模組包括一升降框體、至少一鍵帽、至少一彈性件及一操作件。鍵帽可動地連接於升降框體。彈性件連接於底板及對應的鍵帽。鍵帽與底板之間存在一移動行程，操作件連動於升降框體。處於一抬升狀態的升降模組的升降框體與外框在第一軸線上的距離，大於處於一初始狀態的升降模組的升降框體與外框在第一軸線上的距離。鍵帽在初始狀態下的移動行程小於鍵帽在抬升狀態下的移動行程。The keyboard assembly created in the present invention includes an outer frame, a base plate and a lifting module. The lifting module is movably connected to the outer frame along a first axis. The lifting module includes a lifting frame, at least one keycap, at least one elastic member and an operating member. The keycap is movably connected to the lifting frame. The elastic member is connected to the base plate and the corresponding keycap. There is a moving stroke between the keycap and the bottom plate, and the operating part is linked to the lifting frame. The distance between the lifting frame and the outer frame of the lifting module in a lifted state on the first axis is greater than the distance on the first axis between the lifting frame and the outer frame of the lifting module in an initial state. The movement stroke of the keycap in the initial state is smaller than the movement stroke of the keycap in the lifted state.

基於上述，本新型創作的鍵盤組件的升降模組可在初始狀態及抬升狀態之間切換，而改變升降模組的升降框體與外框在第一軸線上的距離，且改變升降模組的鍵帽與底板之間的移動行程。在初始狀態下，升降框體與外框在抬升狀態下在第一軸線上的距離等於零，而使鍵盤組件的整體厚度較小，以提升鍵盤組件的攜帶性。在抬升狀態下，鍵帽的移動行程較長而可提升鍵盤組件的操作性。Based on the above, the lifting module of the keyboard assembly created by the present invention can be switched between the initial state and the lifting state, and the distance between the lifting frame and the outer frame of the lifting module on the first axis is changed, and the distance between the lifting module and the outer frame of the lifting module is changed. The travel distance between the keycap and the base plate. In the initial state, the distance between the lifting frame and the outer frame on the first axis in the lifted state is equal to zero, so that the overall thickness of the keyboard assembly is smaller to improve the portability of the keyboard assembly. In the lifted state, the movement stroke of the keycap is longer, thereby improving the operability of the keyboard assembly.

為了讓本新型創作的上述特徵及優點能夠更明顯易懂，下文特舉實施例，並配合所附圖式詳細說明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, examples are given below and are described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

The keyboard assembly 100a includes an outer frame 110a, a base plate 120a and a lifting module 200a. The lifting module 200a is movably connected to the outer frame 110a along a first axis L1. The lifting module 200a includes a lifting frame 210a, at least one keycap 220 and an operating component 240a. The first axis L1 is perpendicular to a top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a.

The lifting module 200a can move between an initial state M1 and a lifting state M2. switch. The keyboard assembly 100a of this embodiment is, for example, an external keyboard, but is not limited thereto.

如圖2、圖3B、圖5B所示，升降框體210a包括至少一鍵帽孔P2，升降模組200a包括至少一彈性件230。鍵帽孔P2位於升降框體210a的頂壁W1。鍵帽220包括一蓋體222、一裙邊224及一連接柱226。裙邊224連接於蓋體222且沿一第二軸線L2遠離蓋體222延伸，連接柱226連接於蓋體222且沿第一軸線L1向底板120a延伸。第一軸線L1垂直於第二軸線L2。鍵帽220沿第一軸線L1方向可動地連接於升降框體210a，彈性件230連接對應的鍵帽220及底板120a，裙邊224透過彈性件230的彈性力頂抵頂壁W1(圖3B)，因此當升降模組200a在初始狀態M1(圖3B)及抬升狀態M2(圖5B)之間切換時，鍵帽220可隨升降框體210a移動。鍵帽220在未受力的情況下恆頂抵升降框體210a。蓋體222外露於鍵帽孔P2。彈性件230例如是一彈簧。As shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 3B , and FIG. 5B , the lifting frame 210 a includes at least one keycap hole P2 , and the lifting module 200 a includes at least one elastic member 230 . The keycap hole P2 is located on the top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a. The keycap 220 includes a cover 222 , a skirt 224 and a connecting post 226 . The skirt 224 is connected to the cover 222 and extends away from the cover 222 along a second axis L2. The connecting post 226 is connected to the cover 222 and extends toward the bottom plate 120a along the first axis L1. The first axis L1 is perpendicular to the second axis L2. The keycap 220 is movably connected to the lifting frame 210a along the direction of the first axis L1. The elastic member 230 connects the corresponding keycap 220 and the bottom plate 120a. The skirt 224 resists the top wall W1 through the elastic force of the elastic member 230 (Fig. 3B). , therefore when the lifting module 200a switches between the initial state M1 (FIG. 3B) and the lifting state M2 (FIG. 5B), the keycap 220 can move with the lifting frame 210a. The keycap 220 is always pressed against the lifting frame 210a when no force is applied. The cover 222 is exposed in the keycap hole P2. The elastic member 230 is, for example, a spring.

底板120a包括至少一定位件122。連接柱226可動地與定位件122連接，彈性件230套設於定位件122及連接柱226。鍵帽220的連接柱226的一末端227與底板120a之間存在一移動行程D1(圖3B)，移動行程D1為鍵帽220受力時，鍵帽220可向底板120a移動的最大位移量。本實施例的升降模組200a包括四個鍵帽220、四個彈性件230、四個鍵帽孔P2，底板120a包括四個定位件122。升降模組200a的設置位置及範圍不以本實施例為限。The bottom plate 120a includes at least one positioning member 122. The connecting column 226 is movably connected to the positioning member 122 , and the elastic member 230 is sleeved on the positioning member 122 and the connecting column 226 . There is a moving stroke D1 (FIG. 3B) between an end 227 of the connecting post 226 of the keycap 220 and the base plate 120a. The moving stroke D1 is the maximum displacement amount that the keycap 220 can move toward the base plate 120a when the keycap 220 is stressed. The lifting module 200a of this embodiment includes four keycaps 220, four elastic members 230, and four keycap holes P2. The base plate 120a includes four positioning members 122. The installation position and range of the lifting module 200a are not limited to this embodiment.

如圖2、圖3A、圖5A所示，本實施例的操作件240a包括一主體243a、一操作桿241及至少一導桿242。操作桿241沿第一軸線L1連接於主體243a，導桿242沿垂直於第一軸線L1及第二軸線L2的方向連接於主體243a的一彎折部249。升降框體210a包括一側壁W2、一操作孔P1及至少一導槽212，導槽212對應於導桿242。頂壁W1連接於側壁W2，操作孔P1位於頂壁W1，導槽212位於側壁W2。操作件240a連動於升降框體210a，操作件240a沿第二軸線L2可動地連接於底板120a。操作件240a與底板120a的連接方式例如是透過底板120a上的突起與操作件240a的主體243a的溝槽可滑動地卡合，但不限於此。As shown in Figures 2, 3A, and 5A, the operating member 240a of this embodiment includes a main body 243a, an operating rod 241, and at least one guide rod 242. The operating rod 241 is connected to the main body 243a along the first axis L1, and the guide rod 242 is connected to a bent portion 249 of the main body 243a in a direction perpendicular to the first axis L1 and the second axis L2. The lifting frame 210a includes a side wall W2, an operating hole P1 and at least one guide groove 212, and the guide groove 212 corresponds to the guide rod 242. The top wall W1 is connected to the side wall W2, the operating hole P1 is located on the top wall W1, and the guide groove 212 is located on the side wall W2. The operating member 240a is linked to the lifting frame 210a, and the operating member 240a is movably connected to the bottom plate 120a along the second axis L2. The operating member 240a is connected to the bottom plate 120a by, for example, slidingly engaging the groove of the main body 243a of the operating member 240a through the protrusions on the bottom plate 120a, but is not limited thereto.

操作件240a的主體243a位於升降框體210a及底板120a之間，操作桿241外露於操作孔P1，導桿242可滑動地位於導槽212。如圖3A及圖5A所示，導槽212傾斜於第一軸線L1及第二軸線L2。當操作桿241受外力F而沿第二軸線L2滑動時，導桿242推動導槽212的內壁，進而推動升降框體210a沿第一軸線L1上下移動，而使升降模組200a在初始狀態M1(圖3A)及抬升狀態M2(圖5A)之間切換。本實施例的導桿242的數量為六個且兩兩對稱地設置。導槽212的數量對應於導桿242的數量而為六個，但不限於此。導桿242及導槽212的數量可根據升降模組200a的範圍及設置方式而改變。The main body 243a of the operating member 240a is located between the lifting frame 210a and the bottom plate 120a. The operating rod 241 is exposed at the operating hole P1, and the guide rod 242 is slidably located in the guide groove 212. As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 5A , the guide groove 212 is inclined to the first axis L1 and the second axis L2. When the operating rod 241 slides along the second axis L2 due to external force F, the guide rod 242 pushes the inner wall of the guide groove 212, thereby pushing the lifting frame 210a to move up and down along the first axis L1, so that the lifting module 200a is in the initial state. Switch between M1 (Figure 3A) and lifting state M2 (Figure 5A). The number of the guide rods 242 in this embodiment is six and they are arranged symmetrically in pairs. The number of guide grooves 212 corresponds to the number of guide rods 242, which is six, but is not limited thereto. The number of guide rods 242 and guide grooves 212 can be changed according to the scope and arrangement of the lifting module 200a.

如圖3A及圖3B所示，當升降模組200a處於初始狀態M1時，升降框體210a的頂壁W1與外框110a的一頂面112之間在第一軸線L1方向上存在距離。在本實施例中，距離等於零，意即，在初始狀態M1下的升降框體210a的頂壁W1與外框110a的頂面112齊平，但不限於此。在未繪示的一實施例中，距離可大於零，意即，在初始狀態M1下的頂壁W1與頂面112在第一軸線L1上錯開。彈性件230被壓縮而蓄積彈性力。當要使在升降模組200a從圖3A的初始狀態M1切換至圖5A的抬升狀態M2時，可對操作桿241施加外力F，而使操作件240a沿第二軸線L2向右移動。導桿242在導槽212內滑動而向上推抵導槽212的內壁，進而推動升降框體210a而使升降框體210a沿第一軸線L1移動遠離底板120a。升降模組200a處於抬升狀態M2。As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B , when the lifting module 200a is in the initial state M1, there is a distance in the first axis L1 direction between the top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a and a top surface 112 of the outer frame 110a. In this embodiment, the distance is equal to zero, which means that in the initial state M1, the top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a is flush with the top surface 112 of the outer frame 110a, but is not limited to this. In an embodiment not shown, the distance may be greater than zero, that is, the top wall W1 and the top surface 112 in the initial state M1 are staggered on the first axis L1. The elastic member 230 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. When the lifting module 200a is to be switched from the initial state M1 in FIG. 3A to the lifting state M2 in FIG. 5A , an external force F can be applied to the operating rod 241 to move the operating member 240a to the right along the second axis L2. The guide rod 242 slides in the guide groove 212 and pushes upward against the inner wall of the guide groove 212, thereby pushing the lifting frame 210a to move away from the bottom plate 120a along the first axis L1. The lifting module 200a is in the lifting state M2.

如圖4及圖5A所示，處於抬升狀態M2的升降模組200a的升降框體210a的頂壁W1與外框110a的頂面112之間的距離D3，大於處於初始狀態M1的升降模組200a與外框110a距離。升降框體210a的頂壁W1突出於外框110a，頂壁W1與頂面112在第一軸線L1上錯開。在本實施例中，由於在初始狀態M1下的頂壁W1與頂面112齊平(即，距離等於零)，故距離D3大於零。具體來說，距離D3的範圍介於0.5毫米至5毫米，距離D3例如是1毫米。As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A , the distance D3 between the top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a of the lifting module 200a in the lifting state M2 and the top surface 112 of the outer frame 110a is larger than that of the lifting module in the initial state M1 The distance between 200a and the outer frame 110a. The top wall W1 of the lifting frame 210a protrudes from the outer frame 110a, and the top wall W1 and the top surface 112 are staggered on the first axis L1. In this embodiment, since the top wall W1 is flush with the top surface 112 in the initial state M1 (that is, the distance is equal to zero), the distance D3 is greater than zero. Specifically, the distance D3 ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and the distance D3 is, for example, 1 mm.

當升降模組200a處於抬升狀態M2時，鍵帽220透過彈性件230的彈性力被頂升，而使鍵帽220在初始狀態M1下的移動行程D1小於鍵帽220在抬升狀態M2下的移動行程D2。移動行程D1與移動行程D2的差值即為距離D3。移動行程D1例如是1.3毫米，移動行程D2例如是2.3毫米。When the lifting module 200a is in the lifted state M2, the keycap 220 is lifted up through the elastic force of the elastic member 230, so that the movement stroke D1 of the keycap 220 in the initial state M1 is smaller than the movement of the keycap 220 in the lifted state M2. Itinerary D2. The difference between the moving stroke D1 and the moving stroke D2 is the distance D3. The moving stroke D1 is, for example, 1.3 mm, and the moving stroke D2 is, for example, 2.3 mm.

如圖3A及圖5A所示，導槽212包括一傾斜部分214及兩水平部分216，兩水平部分216位於傾斜部分214的相對兩端。傾斜部分214傾斜於第一軸線L1及第二軸線L2，兩水平部分216平行於第二軸線L2。當升降模組200a在初始狀態M1及抬升狀態M2之間切換時，導桿242位於導槽212的兩水平部分216的其中一者，以使升降模組200a維持在初始狀態M1或抬升狀態M2。導桿242移動至水平部分216時會產生卡頓的手感，使用者可藉此確認導桿242是否移動至定位。As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 5A , the guide groove 212 includes an inclined portion 214 and two horizontal portions 216 . The two horizontal portions 216 are located at opposite ends of the inclined portion 214 . The inclined portion 214 is inclined to the first axis L1 and the second axis L2, and the two horizontal portions 216 are parallel to the second axis L2. When the lifting module 200a switches between the initial state M1 and the lifting state M2, the guide rod 242 is located at one of the two horizontal parts 216 of the guide groove 212, so that the lifting module 200a is maintained in the initial state M1 or the lifting state M2. . When the guide rod 242 moves to the horizontal part 216, a stuck feeling will occur, and the user can use this to confirm whether the guide rod 242 has moved to the position.

當升降模組200a處於初始狀態M1時，鍵盤組件100a整體的厚度較薄，而使鍵盤組件100a薄型化，以提升鍵盤組件100a的攜帶性。當升降模組200a處於抬升狀態M2時，鍵帽220的移動行程較長，而可提升鍵帽220的按壓回饋感，進而提升鍵盤組件100a的操作性。When the lift module 200a is in the initial state M1, the overall thickness of the keyboard assembly 100a is thin, so that the keyboard assembly 100a is thinned to improve the portability of the keyboard assembly 100a. When the lift module 200a is in the lifted state M2, the movement stroke of the keycap 220 is longer, which can improve the pressing feedback feeling of the keycap 220, thereby improving the operability of the keyboard assembly 100a.

具體來說，彈性件230在初始狀態M1及抬升狀態M2下的壓縮程度不同，進而影響鍵帽220在初始狀態M1及抬升狀態M2下的手感。彈性件230在初始狀態M1下的壓縮程度大於彈性件230在抬升狀態M2下的壓縮程度，而使鍵帽220在初始狀態M1下的按壓回饋感較小。鍵帽220在抬升狀態M2下的按壓回饋感較強，而具有近似於機械鍵盤的按壓回饋。Specifically, the elastic member 230 has different compression degrees in the initial state M1 and the lifted state M2, which further affects the feel of the keycap 220 in the initial state M1 and the lifted state M2. The compression degree of the elastic member 230 in the initial state M1 is greater than the compression degree of the elastic member 230 in the lifted state M2, so that the pressing feedback of the keycap 220 in the initial state M1 is smaller. The keycap 220 has a strong pressure feedback feeling in the raised state M2, and has a pressure feedback similar to that of a mechanical keyboard.

當要使升降模組200a從抬升狀態M2切換至初始狀態M1時，操作桿241可受外力F而沿第二軸線L2向左移動，導桿242在導槽212內滑動而向下推抵導槽212的內壁。升降框體210a被推動而沿第一軸線L1移動靠近底板120a。升降框體210a抵壓鍵帽220的裙邊224，而使鍵帽220整體向下移動，彈性件230被壓縮而蓄積彈性力。升降模組200a切換至初始狀態M1。When the lifting module 200a is to be switched from the lifting state M2 to the initial state M1, the operating rod 241 can be moved to the left along the second axis L2 by the external force F, and the guide rod 242 slides in the guide groove 212 and pushes downward against the guide rod 242. The inner wall of groove 212. The lifting frame 210a is pushed to move close to the bottom plate 120a along the first axis L1. The lifting frame 210a presses against the skirt 224 of the keycap 220, causing the keycap 220 to move downward as a whole, and the elastic member 230 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. The lifting module 200a switches to the initial state M1.

此外，如圖2所示，操作件240a的主體243a包括至少一避讓槽244。避讓槽244的數量及設置位置對應於彈性件230的數量及設置位置。彈性件230穿過避讓槽244而抵接於鍵帽220及底板120a。避讓槽244的形狀近似於一橢圓形或藥丸形，以免升降模組200a在初始狀態M1及抬升狀態M2之間切換時，操作件240a(主體243a)在移動的過程中與彈性件230產生干涉。In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 , the main body 243a of the operating member 240a includes at least one escape groove 244. The number and location of the escape grooves 244 correspond to the number and location of the elastic members 230 . The elastic member 230 passes through the escape groove 244 and contacts the keycap 220 and the bottom plate 120a. The shape of the avoidance groove 244 is similar to an oval or pill shape to prevent the operating member 240a (main body 243a) from interfering with the elastic member 230 during the movement when the lifting module 200a switches between the initial state M1 and the lifting state M2. .

圖1至圖5B僅繪示本實施例的鍵盤組件100a的部分結構。鍵盤組件100a更可包括設置於鍵帽220及底板120a之間的剪刀腳結構(scissors mechanism)、薄膜電路板、圓頂開關等元件，而可影響鍵帽220的按壓手感。1 to 5B only illustrate part of the structure of the keyboard assembly 100a of this embodiment. The keyboard assembly 100a may further include components such as a scissors mechanism, a thin film circuit board, and a dome switch disposed between the keycap 220 and the bottom plate 120a, which may affect the pressing feel of the keycap 220.

The first elastic member 247 and the second elastic member 248 are springs, for example.

如圖6所示，當升降模組200b處於初始狀態M1時，止擋件246與卡合槽217卡合，第二彈性件248抵接側壁W2。第二彈性件248變形以蓄積彈性力。升降模組200b的升降框體210b被止擋件246鎖定。如圖7所示，當要使升降模組200b切換至抬升狀態M2時，使主體243b沿第一軸線L1受一第一外力F1，主體243b沿第一軸線L1移動靠近底板120b，而使斜向槽245的開口對應於止擋件246。止擋件246沿第二軸線L2向斜向槽245移動而移動遠離卡合槽217。藉此，止擋件246釋放升降框體210b並鎖定主體243b。升降模組200b的彈性件230推抵鍵帽220，進而推動升降框體210b向上移動，而使升降模組200b切換至圖7的抬升狀態M2。處於抬升狀態M2的升降模組200b的止擋件246與斜向槽245卡合，第一彈性件247變形以蓄積彈性力。As shown in FIG. 6 , when the lifting module 200b is in the initial state M1, the stopper 246 is engaged with the engaging groove 217, and the second elastic member 248 is in contact with the side wall W2. The second elastic member 248 deforms to accumulate elastic force. The lifting frame 210b of the lifting module 200b is locked by the stopper 246. As shown in Figure 7, when the lifting module 200b is to be switched to the lifting state M2, the main body 243b is subjected to a first external force F1 along the first axis L1, and the main body 243b moves along the first axis L1 close to the bottom plate 120b, so that the inclined The opening into the groove 245 corresponds to the stop 246 . The stopper 246 moves toward the oblique groove 245 along the second axis L2 and moves away from the engaging groove 217 . Thereby, the stopper 246 releases the lifting frame 210b and locks the main body 243b. The elastic member 230 of the lifting module 200b pushes against the keycap 220, thereby pushing the lifting frame 210b to move upward, so that the lifting module 200b switches to the lifting state M2 in Figure 7. The stopper 246 of the lifting module 200b in the lifted state M2 is engaged with the oblique groove 245, and the first elastic member 247 is deformed to accumulate elastic force.

當要使升降模組200b從抬升狀態M2切換至初始狀態M1時，對升降框體210b施加一第二外力F2而使升降框體210b移動靠近底板120b，並帶動鍵帽220向下移動。彈性件230被壓縮並蓄積彈性力。升降框體210b的卡合槽217移動而與止擋件246卡合，止擋件246退出主體243b的斜向槽245，止擋件246釋放主體243b。主體243b透過第一彈性件247的彈性力復位回到圖6所示的位置(即，主體243b突出於外框110b)，升降模組200b切換至初始狀態M1。When the lifting module 200b is to be switched from the lifting state M2 to the initial state M1, a second external force F2 is applied to the lifting frame 210b to move the lifting frame 210b close to the bottom plate 120b and drive the keycap 220 to move downward. The elastic member 230 is compressed and accumulates elastic force. The engaging groove 217 of the lifting frame 210b moves to engage with the stopper 246. The stopper 246 withdraws from the oblique groove 245 of the main body 243b, and the stopper 246 releases the main body 243b. The main body 243b returns to the position shown in FIG. 6 through the elastic force of the first elastic member 247 (that is, the main body 243b protrudes from the outer frame 110b), and the lifting module 200b switches to the initial state M1.
