Abstract
A transmission structure disposed in an input device of a data processing system is disclosed. The transmission structure includes a fixed plate, a movable plate, a connection member, and a motor driving unit. The fixed plate is mounted in the input device and includes a set of grooves extending toward a first direction. The movable plate is movably disposed on a first surface of the fixed plate and includes a set of first pillars to be disposed in the set of grooves. The connection member is connected to the movable plate. The motor driving unit is connected to the connection member and drives the movable plate through the connection member to move toward the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Claims15
A transmission structure disposed in an input device of a data processing system, said transmission structure comprising:
- a fixed plate, mounted in the input device, the fixed plate comprising a set of grooves extending toward a first direction;
- a movable plate, movably disposed on a first surface of the fixed plate, the movable plate comprising a set of first pillars movably disposed in the set of grooves respectively;
- a connection member, connected to the movable plate;
- and
- a motor driving unit, connected to the connection member, the motor driving unit being able to drive the movable plate through the connection member to move along the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction.
An input device, disposed in a data processing system, said input device comprising:
- a keyswitch, comprising a keycap and a support member disposed under the keycap;
- and
- a transmission structure, comprising:
- a fixed plate, mounted in the input device, the fixed plate comprising a set of grooves extending toward a first direction;
- a movable plate, movably disposed on a first surface of the fixed plate and connected to the support member, the movable plate comprising a set of first pillars movably disposed in the set of grooves respectively;
- a connection member, connected to the movable plate;
- and
- a motor driving unit, connected to the connection member, the motor driving unit being able to drive the movable plate through the connection member to move along the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- wherein when the motor driving unit drives the movable plate through the connection member to move along the first direction, the movable plate pushes the support member up so that the keycap rises, and when the motor driving unit drives the movable plate through the connection member to move along the second direction, the movable plate pushes the support member down so that the keycap sinks.
A data processing system, comprising:
- an input device, comprising a keycap, the keycap comprising a keycap and a support member disposed under the keycap;
- a fixed plate, mounted in the input device, the fixed plate comprising a set of grooves extending toward a first direction;
- a movable plate, movably disposed on a first surface of the fixed plate and connected to the support member, the movable plate comprising a set of first pillars movably disposed in the set of grooves respectively;
- a connection member, connected to the movable plate;
- and
- a motor driving unit, connected to the connection member, the motor driving unit being able to drive the movable plate through the connection member to move along the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- wherein when the motor driving unit drives the movable plate through the connection member to move along the first direction, the movable plate pushes the support member up so that the keycap rises, and when the motor driving unit drives the movable plate through the connection member to move along the second direction, the movable plate pushes the support member down so that the keycap sinks.
