Abstract
A keyboard membrane, which is a thin sheet molded object thermoformed by a thermoplastic wear-resistant molding membrane, comprising a plurality of concave-convex parts, the concave-convex part comprises a plurality of upwardly protruding pressing parts, each of the pressing parts has a top wall and a peripheral wall extending downward from a periphery of the top wall; the keyboard membrane is disposed on a key module with keys; each of the pressing parts is connected with one of the keys of the key module; a periphery of the keyboard membrane has a peripheral edge extending outward from the pressing part, and the peripheral edge wraps the key module to form a waterproof and dustproof keyboard.
Claims20
A keyboard membrane, being a thin sheet molded object thermoformed by a thermoplastic molding membrane, comprising a plurality of concave-convex parts;
- the concave-convex parts comprising a plurality of upwardly protruding pressing parts, each of the pressing parts having a top wall and a peripheral wall extending downward from a periphery of the top wall;
- the keyboard membrane being used for disposing on a key module;
- each of the pressing parts being used for corresponding to a key of the key module;
- a periphery of the keyboard membrane further having a peripheral edge extending outward from the pressing part, and the peripheral edge being used for wrapping the key module;
- and
- the keyboard membrane being a membrane material in the form of at least two layers, comprising:
- a wear-resistant polyurethane (PU) layer and a second polyurethane (PU) layer, the wear-resistant PU layer being polycarbonate polyurethane, or polyurethane added with a crosslinking agent to increase wear resistance, or polyurethane added with a wear-resistant auxiliary agent to reduce friction resistance, the wear-resistant PU layer being a surface layer of the keyboard membrane;
- the second PU layer being disposed on a surface of the wear-resistant PU layer to form an inner layer of the keyboard membrane.
