Patent number: 11978598Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a base, a keycap, a lift mechanism and a light-emitting part. The lift mechanism includes a first support, a second support, and a spring structure. The first support and the second support are connected to and between the base and the keycap, so that the keycap can move relative to the base in a vertical direction. The spring structure is a single structural part and is connected to the first support and the second support and drives the first support and the second support to lift the keycap in the vertical direction.

Patent number: 11923159Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a keycap support mechanism and a keycap that is supported by the keycap support mechanism in a vertical direction. The keycap support mechanism includes a base and two supports. The base has two sliding slots. Each sliding slot has an opening in a horizontal direction and an obstruction block at the opening. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. Each support has a sliding portion and a linkage portion. The sliding portions slide parallel to the horizontal direction in the sliding slots correspondingly. The obstruction block prevents the corresponding sliding portion from disengaging from the corresponding sliding slot. The two linkage portions push against each other in line contact, so that the two supports are mutually driven through the two linkage portions.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: DARFON ELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Chen Yang, Ling-Hsi Chao, Shao-Lun Hsiao, Yu-Chun Hsieh

Patent number: 11735380Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a base, a cap disposed corresponding to the base, a restoring member disposed between the base and the cap, and a tactile adjustment unit. The cap has a cam portion movable relative to the base. The restoring member is configured to provide a restoring force to enable the cam portion to move away from the base. The tactile adjustment unit is disposed corresponding to the cam portion and includes a holder and a tactile feedback member mounted on the holder. The holder is movable relative to the base to change a position of the tactile feedback member relative to the cam portion, so as to change a pressing force required for the cam portion to move toward the base.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: DARFON ELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Chen Yang, Chia-Hung Liu, Yu-Chun Hsieh

Patent number: 11705294Abstract: A key structure includes a base, a movable mechanism movably positioned on the base, a sound generating member positioned on the base, and an adjusting unit movable relative to the base to be at a first position or a second position. The sound generating member has a hitting portion, which extends corresponding to an impact surface. When the adjusting unit is at the first position, and a pressing force is applied to the movable mechanism, the movable mechanism moves relative to the base and drives the sound generating member to move, so the hitting portion moves to hit the impact surface to generate a hitting sound. When the adjusting unit is at the second position, the adjusting unit restricts movement of the hitting portion, so the hitting portion cannot move to hit the impact surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: DARFON ELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Yu-Chun Hsieh, Ling-Hsi Chao, Shao-Lun Hsiao, Chen Yang

Publication number: 20230197373Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a lift mechanism and a keycap. Two supports of the lift mechanism support the keycap. There can be a spring structure connecting the two supports for driving the two supports to lift the keycap. The lift mechanism defines a central space extending through the whole lift mechanism in a vertical direction. The spring structure does not enter the central space. The two supports abut against and constrain each other through corresponding structures, to mutually rotate with respect to a rotation axis. The keyswitch structure can include a switch. The switch includes an intermediate support, detachably abutting downward against the lift mechanism or the keycap, and a resilient part, detachably abutting downward against the intermediate support. In the process of pressing the keycap, the intermediate support is separated from the lift mechanism or the keycap, so that the contact force of the switch can be maintained constant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: DARFON ELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Chen Yang, Ling-Hsi Chao, Shao-Lun Hsiao, Yu-Chun Hsieh
