Abstract
A key structure is provided, including a housing, a shaft body, a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component. The housing has a bottom portion and a top portion which are opposite to each other, and has a first opening located at the top portion. The shaft body is coupled with the housing by passing through the first opening, and the shaft body is suitable for being pressed to move in a pressing direction from the top portion to the bottom portion. The first magnetic component is arranged on the shaft body. The second magnetic component is arranged on the housing. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are separated by the housing.
Claims24
A key structure, comprising:
- a housing, comprising a bottom portion and a top portion which are opposite to each other, and a first opening located at the top portion;
- a shaft body, coupled with the housing through the first opening, wherein the shaft body is suitable for being pressed to move in a pressing direction;
- a first magnetic component, arranged on the shaft body;
- and
- a second magnetic component, arranged on the housing, wherein the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are separated by the housing, the first magnetic component is arranged on a sidewall of the shaft body, and the first magnetic component is located between the second magnetic component and the sidewall.
A key structure, comprising:
- a housing, comprising a bottom portion and a top portion which are opposite to each other, and a first opening located at the top portion;
- a shaft body, coupled with the housing through the first opening, wherein the shaft body is suitable for being pressed to move in a pressing direction;
- a first magnetic component, arranged on the shaft body;
- and
- a second magnetic component, arranged on the housing, wherein the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are aligned in an arrangement direction when the shaft body is not pressed, and an included angle between the arrangement direction and the pressing direction is greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees, the first magnetic component is arranged on a sidewall of the shaft body, and the first magnetic component is located between the second magnetic component and the sidewall.
A key structure, comprising:
- a housing, comprising a bottom portion and a top portion which are opposite to each other, and a first opening located at the top portion;
- a shaft body, coupled with the housing through the first opening, wherein the shaft body is suitable for being pressed to move in a pressing direction;
- a first magnetic component, arranged on the shaft body;
- and
- a second magnetic component, arranged on the housing, wherein when the shaft body is not pressed, an upper edge of the first magnetic component is higher than an upper edge of the second magnetic component, and when the shaft body is pressed, the upper edge of the first magnetic component is lower than the upper edge of the second magnetic component,
- wherein the first magnetic component is arranged on a sidewall of the shaft body, and the first magnetic component is located between the second magnetic component and the sidewall.
