1 . A balance bar connecting structure for a key, characterized in that it comprises:
two satellite shaft modules, each of which includes a base body and a satellite shaft member movably arranged on the base body; and
a balance bar member having a connecting bar section, two linkage sections respectively bent in the same direction from both ends of the connecting bar section, and two sliding sections respectively bent relative to each other from the two linkage sections, wherein the connecting bar section is pivotally connected between the two base bodies, and the two linkage sections face the two satellite shaft members, respectively, so that the two sliding sections are cooperatively connected to the two satellite shaft members;
wherein the two satellite shaft members are each provided with a sliding groove so as to allow the two sliding sections to slide transversely in the sliding grooves, respectively.
2 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the base bodies of the two satellite shaft modules each have a hollow inner sleeve portion and a pivot portion arranged on one side of the sleeve portion, and the connecting bar section of the balance bar member is pivotally connected between the pivot portions of the two base bodies.
3 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the base body is formed with an elastic fastener extending downward from a side of the sleeve portion facing the pivot portion, and the elastic fastener is fastened against the connecting bar section of the balance bar member from top to bottom.
4 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the pivot portion is provided with an elastic fastener to be fastened against the connecting bar section of the balance bar member from an outer side of the pivot portion inward.
5 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the sleeve portion is higher than the pivot portion and has a movable opening, and the satellite shaft member is movably arranged on the base body and protrudes out of the movable opening.
6 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 5 , characterized in that the satellite shaft member has a linkage portion movably arranged in the sleeve portion and an engaging portion protruding out of the sleeve portion through the movable opening, and the sliding groove is formed on the linkage portion.
7 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 6 , characterized in that it further comprises a key cap, and the engaging portions of the two satellite shaft modules are clamped on a bottom surface of the key cap.
8 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the sleeve portion is provided with an action space connected from the pivot portion into the sleeve portion, and the two linkage sections of the balance bar member pass through the action spaces of the two satellite shaft modules, respectively, so that the two sliding sections and the two satellite shaft members are cooperatively connected.
9 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the sliding groove is in an open state on a side corresponding to the pivot portion, and the sliding groove is formed to extend in a direction away from the pivot portion.
10 . The balance bar connecting structure for the key as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the sliding groove has a groove bottom away from the pivot portion, two opposite groove walls extending from the groove bottom toward the pivot portion, and a groove opening formed between the two opposite groove walls and adjacent to the pivot portion.
11 . A satellite shaft structure for a key, characterized in that it comprises:
a linkage portion; and
an engaging portion arranged on the linkage portion and extending upward;
wherein the linkage portion is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding groove is in an open state on at least one side on the linkage portion, and is formed to extend in a direction away from the at least one side in the open state.
12 . The satellite shaft structure for the key as claimed in claim 11 , characterized in that the sliding groove has a groove bottom, two opposite groove walls extending from the groove bottom, and a groove opening formed between the two opposite groove walls to form the open state.
