Transmission structure, input device, and data processing system

An input device, set in a data processing system and connected to a display device of the data processing system through a connecting member, the input device comprising:

• a keyswitch, comprising a keycap and a supporting member set under the keycap;
• and
• a transmission apparatus, comprising:
• a pivot, set on the connecting member, the pivot revolving along with the connecting member;
• a fixed plate, fixed in the input device, the fixed plate comprising a set of first protruding pillars extending from a first face of the fixed plate, the fixed plate comprising a set of grooves;
• a movable plate, set in the input device and movablely set on a second face of the fixed plate relative to the first face, the movable plate being connected to the supporting component, the movable plate comprising a set of second protruding pillars movablely contained in the set of grooves respectively;
• a sliding member, set on the first face of the fixed plate, the sliding member comprising a set of first sliding grooves and a set of second sliding grooves, the set of second sliding grooves comprising a tilt part respectively, the set of first sliding grooves being used to contain the set of first protruding pillars respectively and the set of second sliding grooves being used to contain the set of second protruding pillars respectively;
• a pulley, set on the fixed plate;
• and
• a cable, wound on the pivot and set on the pulley and connected to the sliding member;
• wherein when the pivot revolves with the connecting member along a first rotation direction, the pivot drives the cable to bring the sliding member according to the first rotation direction to slide the sliding member along a first sliding direction via the set of first protruding pillars and the set of first sliding grooves, and the set of second protruding pillars of the movable plate slides along the set of tilt parts of the set of the second sliding grooves to move the movable plate along a first direction to push the supporting component upward to lift the keycap;
• wherein when the pivot revolves with the connecting member along a second rotation direction, the pivot drives the cable to bring the sliding member according to the second rotation direction to slide the sliding member along a second sliding direction relative to the first sliding direction via the set of first protruding pillars and the set of first sliding grooves, and the set of second protruding pillars of the movable plate slides along the set of tilt parts of the set of the second sliding grooves to move the movable plate along a second direction relative to the first direction to push the supporting component downward to descend the keycap.

A data processing system, comprising a display device and an input device, the display device being connected to the input device through a connecting member, the data processing system further comprising:

• a keyswitch, set on the input apparatus, the keyswitch comprising a keycap and a supporting member set under the keycap;
• a pivot, set on the connecting member, the pivot revolving along with the connecting member;
• a fixed plate, fixed in the input device, the fixed plate comprising a set of first protruding pillars extending from a first face of the fixed plate, the fixed plate comprising a set of grooves;
• a movable plate, set in the input device and movablely set on a second face of the fixed plate relative to the first face, the movable plate being connected to the supporting component, the movable plate comprising a set of second protruding pillars movablely contained in the set of grooves respectively;
• a sliding member, set on the first face of the fixed plate, the sliding member comprising a set of first sliding grooves and a set of second sliding grooves, the set of second sliding grooves comprising a tilt part respectively, the set of first sliding grooves being used to contain the set of first protruding pillars respectively and the set of second sliding grooves being used to contain the set of second protruding pillars respectively;
• a pulley, set on the fixed plate;
• and
• a cable, wound on the pivot and set on the pulley and connected to the sliding member;
• wherein when the pivot revolves with the connecting member along a first rotation direction, the pivot drives the cable to bring the sliding member according to the first rotation direction to slide the sliding member along a first sliding direction via the set of first protruding pillars and the set of first sliding grooves, and the set of second protruding pillars of the movable plate slides along the set of tilt parts of the set of the second sliding grooves to move the movable plate along a first direction to push the supporting component upward to lift the keycap;
• wherein when the pivot revolves with the connecting member along a second rotation direction, the pivot drives the cable to bring the sliding member according to the second rotation direction to slide the sliding member along a second sliding direction relative to the first sliding direction via the set of first protruding pillars and the set of first sliding grooves, and the set of second protruding pillars of the movable plate slides along the set of tilt parts of the set of the second sliding grooves to move the movable plate along a second direction relative to the first direction to push the supporting component downward to descend the keycap.
