Embodiment Construction

[0023] see figure 1 , which is a partial exploded view of the button 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The button 1 includes a bottom plate 12 , a keycap 14 , a scissor lift mechanism 16 and a strengthening link 18 . The keycap 14 is disposed on the bottom plate 12 . The scissor-type lifting mechanism 16 includes two scissor-type bracket groups 16a, 16b, and each scissor-type bracket group 16a, 16b includes outer ring brackets 162a, 162b and inner ring brackets 164a, 164b cross-jointed with the outer ring brackets 162a, 162b , the scissor lift mechanism 16 connects the keycap 14 and the bottom plate 12 through the two scissor bracket sets 16a, 16b so that the keycap 14 can move up and down relative to the bottom plate 12 . The reinforced link member 18 includes a connecting portion 182 and two fixing portions 184a, 184b extending from the connecting portion 182, and the two fixing portions 184a, 184b are respectively fixed on the outer ring brac...

Abstract

The invention discloses a key and a keyboard thereof. The key comprises a baseboard, a keycap, a scissors type elevating mechanism and a strengthened connecting bar. The keycap is arranged on the baseboard; the scissors type elevating mechanism is connected with the keycap and the baseboard so that the keycap can vertically move relative to the baseboard; the strengthened connecting bar is arranged on the scissors type elevating mechanism and is close to the keycap; and the strengthened connecting bar and the keycap are separated. When the scissors type elevating mechanism comprises two groups of scissors type supports, the strengthened connecting bar is simultaneously fixed on the corresponding supports in each group of scissors type supports. Compared with the known design that the strengthened connecting bar is arranged on the keycap, the design of the invention is as follows: the acting stability of the scissors type elevating mechanism is directly improved, so that the acting stability of the keycap can be improved better, and the assembly of the keycap can be simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a button and a keyboard, in particular to a button and a keyboard with a scissor-type lifting mechanism. Background technique [0002] Mechanical keys are still used in many electronic devices, because the current mechanical keys are mostly made of plastic materials, especially the lifting mechanism of the keycap, which is often insufficient in rigidity, resulting in poor actuation stability. When the length of the keycap is long, the keycap is often tilted or even stuck when the keycap moves up and down. Whether it is tilted or stuck, it may cause the key trigger function to be abnormal or invalid. Regarding this problem, at present, an additional metal balance bar is often used to independently connect the keycap and the bottom plate, so as to increase the stability of the keycap when it moves up and down. In this design, since the original lifting mechanism is still there, and the metal balance bar traverses most of the ke...
