A key structure includes a base plate, a key cap disposed above the base plate, a scissor abutting against the base plate and the key cap, a spring abutting against the key cap, a positioning base connected to the key cap, a first cover connected to the positioning base and a second cover slidably connected to the first cover. The scissor, the spring, the positioning base, the first cover and the second cover are located between the base plate and the key cap. The positioning base has a positioning groove and a part of the spring is located in the positioning groove. The first cover has a through hole overlapped with the positioning groove, and the spring penetrates the through hole. The second cover penetrates the through hole and abuts against the base plate, and another part of the spring abuts against the second cover.

A method for cooling a heat source by liquefied gas is provided, wherein the heat source is cooled by filling a liquefied gas into a chamber close to the heat source, and the heat source is located in an electronic device. The temperature of the heat source is detected, and the liquefied gas is filled into the chamber via an inlet valve to absorb heat generated by the heat source when the temperature of the heat source rises to a first value. Specifically, an exhaust valve that communicates with the chamber is opened when the temperature of the heat source decreases and then rises to a second value or the pressure inside the chamber reaches a critical value, so that the liquefied gas in the chamber can be vaporized and discharged through the exhaust valve to an atmospheric environment.

The invention provides a key structure, which includes a carrying plate, a trigger member, a keycap, and a reciprocating member. The trigger member is disposed on the carrying plate, and includes a bearing portion, a pillar portion, a trigger portion and a connecting portion. The bearing portion and the trigger portion are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the pillar portion, and the pillar portion is perpendicular to the carrying plate. The trigger portion protrudes toward the carrying plate. The connecting portion is circularly disposed at one side of the pillar portion facing the carrying plate, extends from the pillar portion toward the carrying plate, and is obliquely connected to the carrying plate. The keycap is disposed on the bearing portion. The reciprocating member comprises two opposite ends respectively connected to the carrying plate and the keycap.

A keyboard module and an electronic device using the keyboard module are provided. The keyboard module includes a housing, a plurality of keys, a micro pump chamber and an actuator. The housing has multiple openings with the keys disposed in the housing. Each key includes a switch membrane, a key cover, an elastic element and a scissor unit. The switch membrane has a key switch, the key cover is above the switch membrane, and the elastic element disposed between the switch membrane and the key cover triggers the key switch when being pressed and deformed. The scissor unit is disposed between the key cover and the switch membrane to support the key cover. The micro pump chamber disposed below the key cover includes a first chamber, a second chamber communicating with the first chamber, a check valve disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber, and an actuator driving the keys to be withdrawn into or protrude out of the openings.

Keyboard module and electronic device using the same

A housing structure of an electronic device including a housing, a silicone rubber, and an assembling member is provided. The housing is metal and has an inner surface and an outer surface. The silicone rubber is disposed on the outer surface, and an edge of the silicone rubber is extended to the inner surface. The assembling member is disposed at the inner surface, such that the edge of the silicone rubber is clamped between the inner surface and the assembling member. A manufacturing method of the housing structure is also provided.

Housing structure of electronic device and manufacturing method thereof

A sensing system is provided. The system includes an electronic device and a detachable sensor. The detachable sensor could be connected to the electronic device through a connecting interface. When the electronic device detects that the detachable sensor is connected to the electronic device, the electronic device obtains a plurality of sensing data, and transforms the sensing data into a plurality of sensing results. Also, when the electronic device is connected to a host device, the electronic device sends the sensing results to the host device.

Sensing system, electronic device and sensing method

An electronic device is provided, including a main body, a bottom shell, and an electrical connection port. The bottom shell is pivotally connected to the main body, and the electrical connection port is disposed on the bottom shell. When the bottom shell is in a closed position relative to the main body, the electrical connection port is covered by the main body. When the bottom shell rotates from the closed position to an opened position relative to the main body, an opening is formed between the main body and the bottom shell, and the electrical connection port is exposed to the opening.
