[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, the present invention provides an industrial explosion-proof keyboard, including an explosion-proof base 1. A placement groove 2 is formed on the top of the explosion-proof base 1. A keyboard base 3 is fixedly connected inside the placement groove 2. A heat-conducting column 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the keyboard base 3. A PCB board 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the heat-conducting column 4. A through hole 6 is formed on the top of the keyboard base 3. A sealing cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the through hole 6. A first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cylinder 7 extending into the through hole 6. A keycap 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the first spring 8. A first sealing gasket 10 is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the keycap 9. A first limiting ring 11 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing cylinder 7 at the upper end of the keyboard base 3. The first sealing gasket 10... The bottom of the sealing cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the first limiting ring 11. A water-blocking ring 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the sealing cylinder 7. A key shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the keycap 9. The key shaft 13 is located inside the sealing cylinder 7. The top left and right sides of the explosion-proof base 1 are provided with first sliding grooves 14. A first slider 15 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove 14. An explosion-proof glass 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider 15. The left and right sides of the back of the explosion-proof base 1 are fixedly connected with electric telescopic rods 17 that match the first sliding grooves 14. The output ends of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 17 extend into the interior of the first sliding grooves 14 and are fixedly connected to the first sliders 15. The rear inner wall of the explosion-proof base 1 is fixedly connected to... A PLC controller 18 is connected to the keyboard base 1. An opening 19 is provided on the right side of the explosion-proof base 1, and a fingerprint sensor 20 is installed inside the opening 19. The heat generated by the operation of the PCB board 5 is dissipated through the heat conduction column 4 to ensure normal heat dissipation of the PCB board 5. When water is sprayed on the surface of the keyboard base 3, the first sealing gasket 10 and the first limiting ring 11 also move down when the keycap 9 is pressed. Then, in conjunction with the sealing cylinder 7, water is prevented from entering the interior of the keyboard base 3 through the through hole 6. The establishment of the first limiting ring 11 and the water-blocking ring 12 can prevent water from entering the interior of the keyboard base 3 from the top of the sealing cylinder 7. This allows the device to provide waterproof protection even when the keycap 9 is pressed, effectively protecting the keyboard base. The PCB board 5 inside the keyboard base 3 also reduces the possibility of explosion. When the user touches the fingerprint sensor 20, the PLC controller 18 receives the signal and activates the electric telescopic rod 17 to pull the first slider 15, causing the explosion-proof glass 16 to move backward, allowing the user to touch the keyboard base 3. After a certain period of time, when the PLC controller 18 no longer receives the signal from the PCB board 5, it will control the electric telescopic rod 17 to push the first slider 15, causing the explosion-proof glass 16 to close the top of the explosion-proof base 1. In the event of an explosion, the explosion-proof base 1, together with the explosion-proof glass 16, can better protect the keyboard base 3, reducing the impact of the explosion and preventing it from endangering the user.

[0020] The top of the first limiting ring 11 is provided with a toothed groove 21, and the bottom of the water-blocking ring 12 is fixedly connected with a toothed block 22 that matches the toothed groove 21; through the cooperation between the toothed groove 21 and the toothed block 22, the connection between the first limiting ring 11 and the water-blocking ring 12 is made tighter, reducing the possibility of water flowing through.

[0021] A second limiting ring 23 is fixedly connected to the top periphery of the water-blocking ring 12. The top of the second limiting ring 23 has a moving groove 24, and the bottom of the moving groove 24 has a sliding groove 25. A sealing ring 26 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 25. A retaining ring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing ring 26. A second sealing gasket 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the retaining ring 27. The top of the sealing ring 26 extends out of the moving groove 24 and is fixedly connected to the keycap 9. When the keycap 9 is pressed, the sealing ring 26 moves down. At this time, the sealing ring 26, together with the second limiting ring 23, can prevent water from flowing through the top of the sealing cylinder 7 into the interior of the keyboard base 3. After the keycap 9 is reset by the force of the first spring 8, the second sealing gasket 28 fits against the top of the moving groove 24 to further block water flow, effectively protecting the PCB board 5 inside the keyboard base 3.

[0022] The opening 19 has a second sliding groove 29 on both the top and bottom sides. A second slider 30 is slidably connected inside each of the two sets of second sliding grooves 29. A cover 31 is fixedly connected between the two sets of second sliders 30. A second spring 32 is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the second sliding groove 29. The other end of the second spring 32 is fixedly connected to the second slider 30. When the user needs to identify the fingerprint, he can simply push the cover 31 to identify it. After the identification is completed, the second spring 32 will drive the cover 31 to reset, thereby better protecting the fingerprint sensor 20 and improving its service life.

[0023] The outer surfaces of the explosion-proof base 1, keyboard base 3, and keycaps 9 are coated with an explosion-proof coating. A drainage channel 33 is provided at the bottom of the explosion-proof base 1. The explosion-proof coating on the outer surfaces of the explosion-proof base 1, keyboard base 3, and keycaps 9 further improves the explosion-proof effect. In the event of water ingress, the drainage channel 33 facilitates the drainage of water.

[0024] Working Principle: The heat generated by the PCB board 5 during operation is dissipated through the heat-conducting column 4, ensuring normal heat dissipation of the PCB board 5. When water is sprayed onto the surface of the keyboard base 3, pressing the keycap 9 causes the first sealing pad 10 and the first limiting ring 11 to move downwards. These, along with the sealing cylinder 7, prevent water from entering the keyboard base 3 through the through hole 6. The first limiting ring 11 and the water-blocking ring 12 prevent water from entering the keyboard base 3 from the top of the sealing cylinder 7. When the keycap 9 is pressed, the sealing ring 26 moves downwards. At this time, the sealing ring 26, along with the second limiting ring 23, can block water from entering the keyboard base 3 through the top of the sealing cylinder 7. After the keycap 9 is reset by the force of the first spring 8, the second sealing pad 28 adheres to the inner top side of the moving groove 24, further blocking water flow. This allows the device to provide waterproof protection even when the keycap 9 is pressed, effectively protecting the keyboard base 3. The explosion-proof glass 16 protects the PCB board 5 inside the keyboard base 3 and reduces the possibility of explosion. When the user pushes the cover 31 and touches the fingerprint sensor 20 with their finger, the PLC controller 18 receives the signal and activates the electric telescopic rod 17 to pull the first slider 15, causing the explosion-proof glass 16 to move backward, allowing the user to touch the keyboard base 3. At this time, under the force of the second spring 32, the cover 31 is pushed back, thus better protecting the fingerprint sensor 20 and improving its service life. After a certain period of time, when the PLC controller 18 no longer receives the signal from the PCB board 5, it will control the electric telescopic rod 17 to push the first slider 15, causing the explosion-proof glass 16 to close the top of the explosion-proof base 1. In the event of an explosion, the explosion-proof base 1, together with the explosion-proof glass 16, can better protect the keyboard base 3, reducing the impact of the explosion and preventing it from endangering the user.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
