Touchpad module with full-area pressing capability
The granted patent (Publication Number: US12013992B2) describes a touchpad module comprising a moving part with a touch panel, main support member, and travel switch, a fixing part with a contact point, and a deforming part with elastic members and connecting members. The deforming part is designed to elastically deform when the touch panel is pressed, causing the moving part to trigger the travel switch. The touchpad module includes symmetrically arranged elastic members, a gap between arms, and integrally formed elastic members with through holes for partial connection.
Furthermore, the touchpad module includes connecting members to reinforce the elastic arms, a touch panel with a cover plate and circuit board, and a fixing platform with fixing screws for attachment to an electronic apparatus housing. The contact point can be an adjusting screw or conductive base, and the fixing platform may have a contact surface fixed to the electronic apparatus housing. The patent also covers an electronic apparatus incorporating the touchpad module fixedly installed in the housing, providing a comprehensive solution for touchpad functionality in electronic devices.
