Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of keyboard production and manufacturing, and in particular to an overall production method for keyboard surface characters and patterns. Background Art

[0002] A keyboard is a device for inputting instructions and data to operate a device. It also refers to a group of function keys that are arranged by the system to operate a machine or device. The keyboard is the most commonly used and most important input device. English letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. can be input into the computer through the keyboard, thereby issuing commands to the computer, inputting data, etc. With the development of society and the increase in user personalized needs, users not only have higher requirements for keyboard performance, but also have higher and higher requirements for the appearance of the keyboard.

[0003] Nowadays, people who use consumer electronic products tend to be younger and more personalized. Traditional consumer electronic keyboards use a process in which the split keycaps are fixed with a jig and individually printed with characters or patterns. After the keycaps are produced, they are assembled on the small keyboard to form a complete keyboard. The labor cost in the production process is high, and after production, the stagnant inventory formed by the reduced demand for such styles needs to be scrapped, resulting in product waste and increased environmental pressure. Moreover, if there are customized patterns or character formats, it is very difficult to complete the production of the keyboard pattern, which will also increase the occurrence of defects. For this reason, we propose an overall production method for keyboard surface characters and patterns. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an overall production method for characters and patterns on the surface of a keyboard, so as to solve the problem raised in the above background technology that the users of consumer electronic products tend to be younger and more personalized, and the traditional consumer electronic keyboards use a process in which the keycaps are fixed with a jig and the characters or patterns are printed separately. After the keycaps are produced, they are assembled on a small keyboard to form a complete keyboard. The labor cost in the production process is high, and after production, the stagnant inventory formed by the reduced demand for such styles needs to be scrapped. In addition, if there are customized patterns or character formats, it is very difficult to complete the production of the keyboard pattern.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for integrally manufacturing characters and patterns on a keyboard surface, comprising: Step 1: Surface treatment of the button surface where the pattern needs to be printed; Step 2: Use a printing device to print characters on the processed keyboard key surface; Step 3: Curing the keyboard after printing characters by UV curing; Step 4: After the keyboard font is cured, apply printing protective varnish; Step 5: Perform secondary curing on the keyboard printed with protective varnish, using UV curing; Step 6: Test the keyboard after light curing and filter out defective products.

[0006] Preferably, in step 1, the keyboard body to be processed is processed by wiping it with an electrostatic dust collector or a solvent such as alcohol, the keyboard body is placed on the bottom of the printing device for fixation, and the order of printing characters and patterns is preset through the printing device setting program.

[0007] Preferably, the printing device is started in step 2, and the printing device is a laser engraving machine for laser burning. Laser engraving laser technology is used to burn characters on the surface of the keyboard. The printing device is a digital printing device, and characters are burned on the surface of the keyboard using a digital printing device. The digital printing is coated, printed, and dried naturally (or dried) on the printed part until the printing is completed. After printing, the light curing treatment is carried out using a UV curing lamp for 4-8 seconds. High-temperature curing generally requires pre-baking at 110° for 15 seconds. After the surface is dried, it enters the drying tunnel dryer at 165°-170° for 2 minutes.

[0008] Preferably, the printing device described in step 2 is a UV printer. The UV printer uses UV ink to print a preset pattern. After printing, the light curing treatment is performed using a UV curing lamp for 4-8 seconds. High-temperature curing generally requires pre-baking at 110° for 15 seconds. After the surface is dried, it enters the drying tunnel dryer at 165°-170° for 2 minutes.

[0009] Preferably, the printing equipment described in step 2 is a laser engraving machine, a UV printer, a digital printer and a printing press, but is not limited to any one of them.

[0010] Preferably, the protective varnish curing treatment described in step five is irradiated with a UV curing lamp for 5-10 seconds, and high-temperature curing generally requires pre-baking at 110° for 20 seconds, and after the surface is dried, it enters a drying tunnel dryer at 150° for 2 minutes.

[0011] Preferably, the detection equipment described in step six is ​​an optical detector, and the machine automatically scans through a camera to collect images for detection of the keyboard after light curing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the overall production method of the keyboard surface characters and patterns, the overall production method of surface characters or patterns, reduces the cost of manual installation of keycaps, and at the same time, the overall keyboard is produced according to the required pattern or characters through processes including but not limited to printing, digital inkjet printing, laser engraving, printing, etc., and the overall pattern or character effect is exhibited and sold. The quantity produced is determined according to the demand, which solves the problem of waste materials and production process waste caused by reduced order demand or a small number of customized products, thereby reducing production costs and complying with environmental protection concepts.
