Problems solved by technology

[0003] The inventor has been devoting himself to the research and development of keycaps, how to change the single appearance of keycaps. Previously, the inventor had conceived a double-layer structure (such as a keycap with a double-layer structure in the open document CN210052666U), plus a crystal surface cover (such as in the open document CN206976220U a kind of crystal surface cover of keyboard), add decorative cover (as open document CN207587591U a kind of button with decorative cover) etc. mode makes key cap outward appearance, becomes colorful and colorful from traditional single color, single texture, but the key cap The hand feel has been unable to change the hard feeling. In addition, the inventor feels that although the previous methods have brought about great changes in the appearance of the keycaps, the freedom of personalization is too small.

Embodiment 1

[0027] see figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a keycap, including a keycap base shell 1 with an opening, the opening of the opening is set downward, and the keycap base 1 is positioned at the opening of the opening There are characters on the top of the cavity, and the top surface of the keycap base shell 1 is provided with a cavity 11, that is, the bottom surface of the cavity 11 is provided with characters, and the keycap base shell 1 is similar in structure to the traditional keycap with luminous characters or non-luminous characters. The characters protrude relative to the bottom surface of the concave cavity 11, or they can be flush with the bottom surface of the concave cavity 11. The height of the characters that can be protruded is roughly the same as the depth of the concave cavity 11. When the pressing elastic body is formed, the characters are flush with the surface of the pressing elastic body , when the characters are...

Embodiment 2

[0044] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the top surface of the pressing elastic body extends downward along the outer side wall of the keycap base shell 1 to form a soft rubber skirt, and the soft rubber skirt is sleeved on the The outer wall of the keycap base shell 1. Embodiment 2 can also realize DIY operation. It only needs to provide a set of keycap molds for consumers. The keycap molds are formed similarly to the keycap base shell 1 and are slightly larger than the keycap base shell 1. After pouring into the keycap mold, the mixed Then put the keycap base shell 1 into the keycap mold. In order to avoid glue overflow, you can draw a scale line in the keycap mold and use it as a standard for glue filling. You can also remove excess glue after the glue overflows.

Embodiment 3

[0046] The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the pressing elastic body is made of polyurethane PU glue.

Abstract

The invention relates to a keycap which comprises a keycap base shell which is manufactured by an injection molding process and is provided with an opening cavity, and an opening of the opening cavity faces downwards; a concave cavity is formed in the top surface of the keycap base shell, and a pressing elastic body formed by a glue pouring process is arranged in the concave cavity; the pressing elastic body is made of silica gel glue or polyurethane (PU) glue or epoxy resin AB glue. The pressing elastic body forms a pressing surface in contact with a finger, so that a soft hand feeling is provided for a user, and the traditional hard feeling is changed; meanwhile, the pressing elastic body is formed through glue pouring, and various ornaments can be blended into glue; therefore, a changeable appearance is formed, and the degree of freedom of personalization is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of keyboard accessories, in particular to a keycap. Background technique [0002] A keyboard is an instruction and data input device used to operate equipment, and also refers to a group of function keys arranged to operate a machine or equipment through the system. The keyboard is the most commonly used and most important input device, through which English letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. can be input into the computer, so as to issue commands and input data to the computer. As an important part of the keyboard, the keycap has become the design focus of the general public. [0003] The inventor has been devoting himself to the research and development of keycaps, how to change the single appearance of keycaps. Previously, the inventor had conceived a double-layer structure (such as a keycap with a double-layer structure in the open document CN210052666U), plus a crystal surface cover (such as in ...
