Abstract

The invention relates to a plane type key structure used in an electronic device comprising a circuit board. The plane type key structure comprises a plane key board, an elastic material layer and a metal elastic piece layer, wherein the plane key board comprises a first key and a second key which are adjacently arranged; the elastic material layer is connected below the plane key board, and the upper surface of the elastic material layer connected with the plane key board is provided with a first groove which is arranged between the first key and the second key and used for obstructing the press linkage effect of the first key and the second key; the metal elastic piece layer is connected below the elastic material layer and arranged on the circuit board; and a first metal elastic piece and a second metal elastic piece which respectively correspond to the first key and the second key are arranged on the metal elastic piece layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a planar key structure, and in particular to a planar key structure in which an elastic material layer is located between two adjacent keys and has grooves or bumps. Background technique [0002] The basic structure of today's mobile phone buttons usually includes an exterior button, a rubber sheet and a metal dome layer. If a plurality of exterior buttons are all presented by a flat plastic sheet, that is, the graphic of each button is printed on the flat plastic, which is a so-called flat button, and each button graphic corresponds to the metal dome of the metal dome layer. If the buttons are placed too close to each other, in the process of pressing one button, another adjacent button will often be pulled, resulting in a bad pressing feel or a problem of being linked. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a planar button structure, the elastic material layer of which ...
