[0025] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-sectional view of a mechanical keyboard provided in this application.

[0026] This application provides a mechanical keyboard. Figure 1As shown, the mechanical keyboard of this embodiment includes: a support plate 10, a button 20, a light-emitting assembly 30, and a receiving assembly 40. The button 20 is movably disposed on the top end surface of the support plate 10. The light-emitting assembly 30 is disposed on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10 and is arranged corresponding to the button 20. The button 20 is configured to block the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30 when pressed, and not block the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30 when not pressed. The receiving assembly 40 is disposed on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10 and is arranged corresponding to the light-emitting assembly 30, and is used to receive the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30. The button 20 is arranged in an array on one end surface of the support plate 10.

[0027] Generally speaking, during long-term use, a mechanical keyboard experiences friction at the contact point between the button 20 and the keyboard due to prolonged and repeated pressing of the button 20, which reduces the keyboard's service life. For example, the button 20 needs to contact the electronic components within the keyboard, so that when the button 20 is pressed, the electronic components determine whether the button 20 is pressed. However, prolonged contact between the button 20 and the electronic components can cause wear and damage to the electronic components, resulting in poor contact on the mechanical keyboard. Furthermore, the button 20 relies on electrical connections to determine the location of the button 20 being pressed, making it difficult to waterproof and dustproof the mechanical keyboard.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a button 20 is provided on the support plate 10, and a light-emitting assembly 30 is provided on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10. The light-emitting assembly 30 emits light. When the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 blocks the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30. When the button 20 is not pressed, the light can pass through the bottom of the button 20 normally. A receiving assembly 40 is provided on the support plate 10, corresponding to the light-emitting assembly 30, for receiving the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30. That is, the light-emitting assembly 30 emits light. If the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 blocks the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30, resulting in the receiving assembly 40 corresponding to the light-emitting assembly 30 not receiving the light, thereby determining the specific location of the pressed button 20. By determining the specific location of the pressed button 20 by blocking the light by the button 20, the button 20 does not need to be electrically connected to the mechanical keyboard. Only the light-emitting assembly 30 and the receiving assembly 40 disposed at the edge of the support plate 10 need to be waterproofed. This effectively improves the waterproof performance and service life of the mechanical keyboard and reduces the manufacturing cost of the mechanical keyboard.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting components 30 are arranged on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10 and are arranged corresponding to the buttons 20. For example, the light-emitting components 30 are arranged on the left end and the upper end of the support plate 10, and the buttons 20 are arranged in an array on the end face of the support, that is, the light-emitting components 30 on the left end emit light extending to the right, and the light extending downward from the upper end. When the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 will block the light emitted to the right by the light-emitting component 30 on the left end, and block the light emitted downward from the light-emitting component 30 on the upper end. At the same time, receiving components 40 are arranged at the opposite right end and the opposite lower end of the support, that is, the receiving component 40 on the right end is used to receive the light emitted by the light-emitting component 30 on the left end, and the receiving component 40 on the lower end is used to receive the light emitted by the light-emitting component 30 on the upper end.

[0030] In this embodiment, if the button 20 is not pressed, the button 20 does not block the light emitted by the left end light emitting assembly 30 and the light emitted by the upper end light emitting assembly 30. The light emitted by the left end light emitting assembly 30 can be transmitted through the optical path to the receiving assembly 40 at the right end, and the light emitted by the upper end light emitting assembly 30 can be transmitted through the optical path to the receiving assembly 40 at the lower end. If the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 blocks the light emitted by the left end light emitting assembly 30 and the upper end light emitting assembly 30. Correspondingly, due to the blocking by the button 20, the receiving assembly 40 at the right end and the lower end receiving assembly 40 cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitting assembly 30, thereby determining the specific location of the pressed button 20.

[0031] In other embodiments, because the buttons 20 on the mechanical keyboard are arranged in an array, that is, multiple buttons 20 may exist in the same column or row, when using the mechanical keyboard, multiple buttons 20 in the same column or row may be pressed simultaneously. Taking the simultaneous pressing of buttons 20 in the same row as an example, the light emitted from the left end is blocked by the button 20 near the left end light emitting assembly 30. Buttons 20 in different columns of the same row will block different lights emitted by the light emitting assembly 30, thereby determining which column the pressed buttons 20 in the same row are located in, and thus the specific locations of the multiple pressed buttons 20.

[0032] In the above embodiment, by arranging the light-emitting components 30 on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10, and corresponding buttons 20 are arranged, and receiving components 40 corresponding to the light-emitting components 30 are arranged on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10, when the button 20 is pressed, the light emitted by the light-emitting components 30 is blocked, thereby judging the specific position where the button 20 is pressed, and there is no need to judge the pressed button 20 through electrical connection, which can effectively improve the service life of the mechanical keyboard and effectively improve the waterproof performance of the mechanical keyboard.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting assembly 30 includes a first light-emitting component 301 and a second light-emitting component 401. The first light-emitting component 301 is arranged at the edge of the first side end surface of the support plate 10, and the second light-emitting component 401 is arranged at the edge of the second side end surface of the support plate 10. The first side end surface of the support plate 10 is adjacent to the second side end surface of the support plate 10. The receiving assembly 40 includes a first receiving component 302 and a second receiving component 402. The first receiving component 302 is arranged at the edge of the third side end surface of the support plate 10, and the second receiving component 402 is arranged at the edge of the fourth side of the support plate 10. The first side corresponds to the third side, and the second side corresponds to the fourth side. The first light-emitting component 301 is arranged at the edge of the first side end surface of the support plate 10, and the first receiving component 302 is arranged at the edge of the third side end surface of the support plate 10. The first receiving component 302 can receive the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 301. A second light-emitting element 401 is disposed at the edge of the second side end surface of the support plate 10, and a second receiver 402 is disposed at the edge of the fourth side end surface of the support plate 10. The second receiver 402 can receive light emitted by the second light-emitting element 401. The first light-emitting element 301, the second light-emitting element 401, the first receiver 302, and the second receiver 402 are elongated, making them convenient for placement at the edge of the support plate 10. A waterproof strip can be wrapped around the periphery of the first light-emitting element 301, the second light-emitting element 401, the first receiver 302, and the second receiver 402, thereby waterproofing the mechanical keyboard. This eliminates the need for waterproofing the area where the button 20 is located, effectively extending the service life of the mechanical keyboard and reducing its operating cost. In other embodiments, the first light-emitting element 301, the second light-emitting element 401, the first receiver 302, and the second receiver 402 can be configured in other shapes, such as an arc. The specific configuration can be determined based on the shape of the keyboard and is not specifically limited herein.

[0034] In this embodiment, when button 20 is pressed, it blocks the light emitted by first light-emitting element 301 and second light-emitting element 401. Due to the blocking by button 20, first receiver 302, positioned opposite first light-emitting element 301, and second receiver 402, positioned opposite second light-emitting element 401, cannot receive the light, thereby determining the specific location where button 20 was pressed. Specifically, the location of button 20 can be determined using corresponding software or circuitry connected to first receiver 302 and second receiver 402.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the first light-emitting component 301 includes a plurality of first light-emitting units 3011, which are arranged in an array in sequence and corresponding to the buttons 20. The first light-emitting units 3011 are used to emit light. The first receiving component 302 includes a plurality of first receiving units 3021, which are arranged in an array in sequence corresponding to the first light-emitting units 3011. The first receiving units 3021 are used to receive light emitted by the first light-emitting units 3011. The buttons 20 are arranged in an array on one side end surface of the support plate 10, and the plurality of first light-emitting units 3011 are arranged on the support plate 10. The number of first light-emitting units 3011 corresponds to the number of rows of the buttons 20. For example, if the buttons 20 are arranged in 6 rows, the number of first light-emitting units 3011 is set to 6. The specific number of rows of the buttons 20 can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0036] In this embodiment, taking the first light-emitting unit 3011 as an example of being arranged at the edge position of the first side end surface of the support plate 10, the first receiving unit 3021 is arranged at the third side end surface position of the support plate 10, and the first light-emitting unit 3011 and the first receiving unit 3021 are relatively arranged at the edge positions on both sides of the support plate 10, that is, the first light-emitting unit 3011 and the first receiving unit 3021 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first receiving unit 3021 can receive the light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 3011. When the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 will block the light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 3011, so that the corresponding first receiving unit 3021 cannot receive the light, so that the column of the button 20 pressed can be determined, that is, according to whether the first receiving unit 3021 receives the light, it can be determined which column of buttons 20 is pressed.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the second light-emitting component 401 includes a plurality of second light-emitting units 4011, which are arranged in an array in sequence and corresponding to the buttons 20. The second light-emitting units 4011 are used to emit light. The second receiving component 402 includes a plurality of second receiving units 4021, which are arranged in an array in sequence corresponding to the second light-emitting units 4011. The second receiving units 4021 are used to receive the light emitted by the second light-emitting units 4011. The buttons 20 are arranged in an array on one side end surface of the support plate 10. The number of second light-emitting units 4011 corresponds to the number of columns of the buttons 20. For example, if the buttons 20 are arranged in 21 rows, the number of second light-emitting units 4011 is 21. The specific number of columns of the buttons 20 can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this application. In other embodiments, due to the large number of buttons 20 arranged in columns, the buttons 20 may be staggered and arranged on one end surface of the support. Therefore, the number of rows of buttons 20 may be greater than 21, such as 22 rows, 23 rows, etc. Correspondingly, when the number of rows of buttons 20 is 22, the number of second light-emitting units 4011 is 22, and the number of second receiving units 4021 is the same as the number of second light-emitting units 4011, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second light-emitting units 4011. The light-emitting component 30 is a light-emitting diode, and the receiving component 40 is a phototransistor. That is, the first light-emitting unit 3011 and the second light-emitting unit 4011 are configured as light-emitting diodes, and the first receiving unit 3021 and the second receiving unit 4021 are configured as phototransistors. In other embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 may be configured with other light-emitting devices, and the receiving component 40 may be configured with other photosensitive elements, which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0038] In this embodiment, taking the second light-emitting unit 4011 disposed at the second side end surface of the support plate 10 as an example, the second receiving unit 4021 is disposed at the fourth side end surface of the support plate 10. When a button 20 is pressed, the button 20 blocks the light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 4011, so that the corresponding second receiving unit 4021 cannot receive the light, thereby determining which column of buttons 20 is pressed.

[0039] When button 20 is pressed, the light emitted by first light-emitting unit 3011 is blocked by button 20, so that the corresponding first receiving unit 3021 cannot receive the light, thereby determining which row of buttons 20 has been pressed. At this time, the light emitted by second light-emitting unit 4011 is also blocked by button 20, so that the corresponding second receiving unit 4021 cannot receive the light, thereby determining which column of buttons 20 has been pressed. Whether the first receiving unit 3021 and the second receiving unit 4021 receive light can be used to determine which row and column of buttons 20 have been pressed, thereby determining the location of the pressed button 20, and using corresponding software or circuitry to determine the meaning of the pressed button 20.

[0040] Generally, since the light emitting component 30 is arranged on one side end surface of the support plate 10, and the receiving component 40 is arranged on the first side end surface of the support plate 10 opposite to the light emitting component 30, since multiple buttons 20 may be pressed at the same time, a button 20 may be covered by other buttons 20. For example, Figure 4 As shown, when buttons A, B, and C are pressed at the same time, button A blocks the light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 3011 and button B blocks the light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 4011. At this time, it is impossible to determine whether button C is pressed.

[0041] Therefore, the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 are staggered and arranged at the edge position of the support plate 10, and the receiving component 40 and the light-emitting component 30 are correspondingly arranged at the other opposite edge position of the support plate 10. That is, the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 can be staggered and arranged at the edge position of the support plate 10, for example, the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 are arranged at the edge position of the first side end face of the support plate 10, and the receiving component 40 and the light-emitting component 30 are arranged at the edge position of the third side end face of the support plate 10, the light-emitting component 30 on the first side end face corresponds to the receiving component 40 on the third side end face, and the receiving component 40 on the first side end face is opposite to the light-emitting component 30 on the third side end face, wherein the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 can be arranged in pairs or adjacent to each other, that is, the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 are arranged in sequence at the edge position of one side end face of the support plate 10, and the specific setting can be made according to the needs, and this application does not make specific restrictions here. Specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, the light-emitting assembly 30 and the receiving assembly 40 are staggered, that is, the first light-emitting unit 3011 is staggered with the first receiving unit 3021, and the second light-emitting unit 4011 is staggered with the second receiving unit 4021. In this case, when buttons A, B, and C are pressed simultaneously, although button A blocks the light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 3011, making it impossible to determine whether button C is pressed, the light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 4011 will be blocked by button C, thereby determining that button C is pressed. In addition, button B blocks the light emitted by the first light-emitting unit 3011, thereby determining that button B is pressed. Therefore, when buttons A, B, and C are pressed simultaneously, the staggered arrangement of the light-emitting assembly 30 and the receiving assembly 40 can effectively ensure that it is not possible to determine whether a button 20 is pressed.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, the button 20 includes a pressing portion 201 and a raised portion 202. The raised portion 202 is arranged on a side close to the support plate 10 and is connected to the pressing portion 201. That is, when the user uses the mechanical keyboard, the pressing portion 201 on the button 20 can be pressed, thereby driving the raised portion 202 to move. Among them, the button 20 is made of opaque material. That is, when the button 20 is pressed, it can be ensured that the button 20 blocks the light. In other embodiments, it is sufficient to only ensure that the raised portion 202 is made of opaque material, and this application does not make specific limitations here. Figure 7 As shown, the raised portion 202 is provided with a notch 203 that allows light to pass through. The raised portion 202 is configured to block the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30 when the button 20 is pressed, and the notch 203 is configured not to block the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30 when the button 20 is not pressed. That is, when the button 20 is not pressed, the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30 can be transmitted to the receiving assembly 40 through the notch 203. When the button 20 is pressed, the raised portion 202 blocks the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 30. That is, when the button 20 is pressed, the raised portion 202 moves toward the end surface of the support plate 10, causing the notch 203 to move toward the end surface of the support plate 10, thereby causing the raised portion 202 to block the light.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, a reset component is provided at one end of the protrusion 202 away from the pressing portion 201, and the other end of the reset component is connected to the support plate 10 for resetting the button 20. That is, the reset component is connected to the protrusion 202, and the button 20 can be reset by the reset member after being pressed. Specifically, when the user uses the mechanical keyboard, the button 20 is pressed to drive the protrusion 202 to move toward the support plate 10. After the user releases the button 20, the reset component pushes the button 20 to move to the side away from the support plate 10, thereby resetting the button 20. The reset component can be an elastic member, one end of which is connected to the end surface of the support plate 10 and the other end is connected to the protrusion 202. It can also be set to other components that can reset the button 20. This application does not make specific restrictions here.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the frequency of the light emitting component 30 is 50 Hz-100 Hz. That is, the light emitting component 30 emits laser light at a high frequency, which can effectively prevent the light emitting component 30 from continuously emitting light and generating a large amount of heat, which could damage the light emitting component 30, thereby effectively increasing the service life and maintenance cost of the mechanical keyboard.

[0045] In a specific application scenario, when a user uses a mechanical keyboard, the user can press the pressing portion 201 on the button 20. After the pressing portion 201 is pressed, it can drive the raised portion 202 to move closer to the side of the support plate 10, and the raised portion 202 blocks the light emitted by the light-emitting component 30. Specifically, the first light-emitting component 301 is set at the edge of the left end surface of the support plate 10, and the second light-emitting component 401 is set at the edge of the upper end surface of the support plate 10. When the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 will block the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 301, thereby determining which column the pressed button 20 is located in. At the same time, the button 20 blocks the light emitted by the second light-emitting component 401, thereby determining which row the pressed button 20 is located in, and thus determining the specific position of the button 20. After the user releases the button 20, the reset component can push the button 20 to reset.

[0046] Through the above-described method, by providing light-emitting components 30 on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10, corresponding to the buttons 20, and providing receiving components 40 corresponding to the light-emitting components 30 on at least two adjacent sides of the support plate 10, the specific location of the pressed button 20 can be determined by the button 20 blocking the light, thereby eliminating the need for electrical connection to determine the pressed button 20, effectively improving the service life of the mechanical keyboard and the waterproof performance of the mechanical keyboard. By providing a first light-emitting element 301, a second light-emitting element 401, a first receiving element 302, and a second receiving element 402, light can be blocked when the button 20 is pressed, and the location of the pressed button 20 can be determined based on whether the first receiving element 302 and the second receiving element 402 receive light. By providing a plurality of first light-emitting units 3011 and second light-emitting units 4011, the buttons 20 arranged in an array can be aligned, thereby more accurately determining the location of the pressed button 20. By staggering the light-emitting component 30 and the receiving component 40 at the edge of the support plate 10, it is possible to avoid the situation where some buttons 20 cannot be accurately positioned when multiple buttons 20 are pressed at the same time, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the mechanical keyboard. By providing a raised portion 202 on the button 20 and providing a notch 203 on the raised portion 202, light can be allowed to pass through when the button 20 is not pressed. By providing a reset component on the raised portion 202, it is possible to ensure that the button 20 is reset when the button 20 is pressed. By setting the light-emitting component 30 to emit light at a frequency of 50hz-100hz, it is possible to avoid the light-emitting component 30 emitting light for a long time and generating a large amount of heat, thereby damaging the light-emitting component 30, thereby effectively improving the service life of the mechanical keyboard.
