Abstract
The present invention relates to a key connecting module for triggering a switch circuit board, where the key connecting module includes a frame having a support structure, and a triggering assembly, and the triggering assembly is accommodated in the support structure and is moveable relative to the frame to trigger the switch circuit board. The triggering assembly includes a first combining part corresponding to a first keycap and a second combining part corresponding to a second keycap. When the key connecting module is connected to the first keycap, the first keycap is combined with the first combining part. When the key connecting module is connected to the second keycap, the second keycap is combined with the second combining part.
Claims10
A key connecting module, disposed on a bottom board and used to trigger a switch circuit board, wherein the key connecting module comprises:
- a frame, disposed above the switch circuit board and having a support structure;
- and
- a triggering assembly that is accommodated in the support structure, is moveable relative to the frame so as to be combined with a first keycap or a second keycap, and is pushed by the first keycap or the second keycap to trigger the switch circuit board, wherein the first keycap and the second keycap have different shapes and when the key connecting module is connected to the first keycap, the first keycap partially extends into the triggering assembly and is combined with a first combining part of the triggering assembly, wherein the first combining part is complementary to a first keycap combining part of the first keycap;
- and when the key connecting module is connected to the second keycap, the second keycap partially extends into the triggering assembly and is combined with a second combining part of the triggering assembly, wherein the second combining part is complementary to a second keycap combining part of the second keycap, wherein the triggering assembly comprises:
- a connecting piece, fixed to the support structure, so that the first keycap and the second keycap separately extend into a top end of the connecting piece and are combined with the connecting piece;
- and
- a triggering piece, located below the connecting piece, wherein one end of the triggering piece is in contact with the connecting piece, and the other end of the triggering piece is in contact with the switch circuit board, so that the triggering piece is pushed by the first keycap or the second keycap to trigger the switch circuit board.
