Novel keyboard with soft elastic vibration reduction function

Abstract

The utility model discloses a novel keyboard with a soft elastic vibration reduction function, which is characterized in that an annular support plate step is formed in the inner wall of a bottom shell, so that the edge position of a bottom plate is supported by the support plate step; the lower end of the bottom plate is in clearance fit with the bottom of the bottom shell, so that the middle of the bottom plate is suspended to form a floating plate structure; by means of the design of the suspended structure of the keyboard, in the process that the keyboard is knocked by keys, the whole keyboard achieves the use effect that the keyboard continuously jumps up and down along with the knocking rhythm of the keyboard; therefore, when a user knocks the keyboard, a soft elastic effect can be obtained, and finger fatigue caused by long-time use can be reduced; the use is more comfortable, and the experience feeling is better. Compared with a traditional soft elastic keyboard structure, on the premise that materials and structural layers do not need to be added and the main body structure of the keyboard does not need to be changed, the unique use experience that the whole keyboard sinks and bounces elastically is brought to a user.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of keyboard structure technology and relates to a new type of keyboard with soft and elastic vibration damping function. Background Technology

[0002] In everyday mechanical keyboard use, many users prefer a tactile (press-sensitive) keyboard structure. However, the mechanical keyboards used by these users typically have relatively stiff keycaps. Therefore, compared to traditional keyboard structures, fingers need to press harder to depress the keycaps, resulting in a harder bottoming-out feel and greater pressure on the fingers. When users use the keyboard for extended periods, their fingers will experience noticeable soreness and fatigue.

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, many competitors have invented keyboard structures with rebound and elasticity. These structures primarily achieve elasticity in the keyboard and keycaps by adding elastic materials, buffer layers, and rebound components. However, these technical solutions also have some drawbacks: adding materials, adding structural layers, and altering the keyboard structure can make the keyboard bulkier, heavier, larger, increase manufacturing costs, and add manufacturing processes or processing difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel keyboard with soft and springy vibration damping function includes: a keyboard inner tube, a base plate, and a bottom shell; the keyboard inner tube is disposed in the base plate, and the base plate is installed in the bottom shell;

[0006] The bottom shell has a semi-enclosed structure. The bottom plate is inserted into the bottom shell from the opening position of the bottom shell, and an annular support plate step is formed in the inner wall of the bottom shell, so as to support the edge of the bottom plate through the support plate step.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower end of the base plate is fitted with the bottom of the bottom shell with a gap, so that the middle part of the base plate is suspended, forming a floating plate structure.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom plate has an upwardly extending limiting ring edge formed at the circumferential edge position, so that the bottom plate forms a semi-enclosed structure; the keyboard insert is installed into the bottom plate from the opening position of the bottom plate, and the side end face of the keyboard insert is tightly fitted with the inner end face of the limiting ring edge.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of mounting studs for fixing the base plate and the base shell are formed on the inner wall circumferential edge.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using a suspended keyboard structure design, the keyboard as a whole bounces up and down continuously in sync with the typing rhythm. This provides users with a soft and bouncy feel when typing, reducing finger fatigue from prolonged use and resulting in a more comfortable and superior user experience. Compared to traditional soft and bouncy keyboard structures, this invention offers users a unique experience of overall keyboard elasticity and responsiveness without requiring additional materials, structural layers, or changes to the main keyboard structure.

It should be understood that this application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0015] In the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0016] This utility model provides a reference. Figures 1-2In this embodiment of the utility model, a novel keyboard with soft and elastic vibration damping function includes: a keyboard inner tube 1, a base plate 2, and a bottom shell 3; the keyboard inner tube 1 is disposed in the base plate 2, and the base plate 2 is installed in the bottom shell 3;

[0017] The keyboard inner tube 1 includes: keycaps, key switches, circuit board, and positioning plate, etc., which are the basic components of a keyboard;

[0018] The bottom shell 3 has a semi-enclosed structure. The bottom plate 2 is inserted into the bottom shell 3 through the opening of the bottom shell 3. An annular support plate step 32 is formed in the inner wall of the bottom shell 3, so that the edge of the bottom plate 2 is supported by the support plate step 32.

[0019] Furthermore, the lower end of the base plate 2 is fitted with the bottom of the base shell 3 with a gap, so that the middle part of the base plate 2 is suspended, forming a floating plate structure. During the keystrokes, the downward pressure generated by the keystrokes is transmitted to the suspended base plate 2, causing the base plate 2 to sink and deform. When the downward pressure disappears, the base plate 2 bounces back to its original position. Thus, during continuous keystrokes, the entire keyboard will follow the keystroke rhythm, presenting a continuous up-and-down bouncing experience. This provides a soft and bouncy feel when the user types, reducing finger fatigue from prolonged use; making it more comfortable and providing a better user experience.

[0020] Furthermore, the base plate 2 has an upwardly extending limiting ring edge 21 formed at its circumferential position, making the base plate 2 a semi-enclosed structure; the keyboard inner tube 1 is installed into the base plate 2 from the opening position of the base plate 2, and the side end face of the keyboard inner tube 1 is tightly fitted with the inner end face of the limiting ring edge 21; thus, the limiting ring edge 21 is installed and limited on the base plate 2 through the limiting ring edge 21, ensuring that when the keyboard is typed, the keyboard will only bounce up and down, and there will be no problem of forward or backward or left and right movement, thereby improving the overall integrity and overall texture of the keyboard structure.

[0021] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting studs 31 are formed on the inner wall circumferential edge of the bottom shell 3 to achieve a fixed fit between the bottom plate 2 and the bottom shell 3; the mounting studs 31 are used to connect with the bottom plate 2 by screws, and also serve as supports; this arrangement can achieve a fixed fit between the bottom plate 2 and the bottom shell 3, while avoiding substantial impact on the structural function of the bottom plate 2 to move up and down.

[0022] It should also be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0023] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
