Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of computer keyboards, in particular to a computer keyboard keycap capable of stably rebounding. Background Art
[0002] Currently, common materials for mechanical keyboard keycaps are PBT, ABS, and PC: PBT's scientific name is polybutylene terephthalate, which has the characteristics of high hardness and high density. Therefore, PBT keycaps are known for their durability. Although they feel rough, they are difficult to get oily due to long-term typing and friction of fingers, and are durable; ABS's scientific name is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, which has the characteristics of low density and easy coloring. Therefore, ABS keycaps are known for their precise color and delicate feel, which can give the keyboard a better color perception, and the touch is as smooth as jade, which is very comfortable to type; PC's scientific name is polycarbonate, which has the characteristics of low density and high light transmittance. Therefore, PC keycaps are commonly found on transparent keyboards, which can make the keyboard look more crystal clear, and can fully transmit the keyboard backlight, maxing out RGB.
[0003] Most existing keyboard keycaps adopt an integrated structure. Although simple and practical, after long-term use, the key can easily become difficult to rebound due to structural fatigue. Relying on a single structural property to achieve rebound effect has the problem of low reaction efficiency. Not only can it easily cause the key to be stuck in the keyboard, but even after multiple presses, the structure of the snap-on component will break, seriously affecting the input function of the keyboard.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 A computer keyboard keycap with stable rebound comprises a key 1, a load-bearing tube 2 is fixedly bonded inside the key 1, and a partition 3 is integrally connected to the load-bearing tube 2.
[0022] The load-bearing tube 2 is provided with a support mechanism for rebound support of the keyboard keycap through the partition 3. Figure 3 With attached Figure 4 The supporting mechanism includes a notch 4 opened on the side wall of the load-bearing tube 2, and the load-bearing tube 2 is provided with a clip 5 through the notch 4. It is worth noting that a reinforcing rib 6 corresponding to the clip 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the load-bearing tube 2. The reinforcing rib 6 is used to strengthen the connection between the load-bearing tube 2 and the clip 5 to prevent the clip 5 from breaking during repeated opening and closing. At the same time, the structural toughness of the clip 5 is enhanced so that the clip 5 can reset itself, and an embedded wedge 7 is fixedly installed on the clip 5. A guide long hole 8 is opened in the partition 3, and the guide hole 8 is provided. A return spring 9 and a guide rod 12 are provided in the long hole 8. The return spring 9 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 10 that is slidably mounted on the guide rod 12, and a traction link 13 is connected between the lifting block 10 and the fastener 5. It is further explained that under the support of the return spring 9, the lifting block 10 performs a linear reciprocating motion along the guide rod 12 and the guide long hole 8, thereby auxiliary supporting the fastener 5 through the traction link 13, so that after stopping pressing the button 1, the fastener 5 can rebound and rise under the support of the return spring 9.
[0023] Please refer to the instruction manual for details Figure 2 With attached Figure 3 The load-bearing tube 2 is a hollow square tube structure, and the partition 3 is located at the center line of the load-bearing tube 2, so that the load-bearing tube 2 in the key 1 can be easily installed in the keyboard slot.
[0024] The return spring 9 is welded to the lower end of the guide long hole 8, and the guide rod 12 is welded to the upper end of the guide long hole 8. A through hole 11 for sliding the guide rod 12 is opened in the lifting block 10, so that the lifting block 10 can be mounted on the guide rod 12, making the up and down movement of the lifting block 10 more stable.
[0025] Please refer to the instruction manual for further details. Figure 3 With attached Figure 4 The lifting block 10 is slidably mounted in the guide long hole 8 through the guide rod 12, and the two ends of the traction link 13 are respectively connected to the lifting block 10 and the buckle 5 pin to provide a reset traction effect for the buckle 5.
[0026] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation modes:
[0027] By pressing the button 1, the load-bearing tube 2 is pressed, so that the load-bearing tube 2 drives the fastener 5 vertically downward, and the two fasteners 5 drive the embedded wedge 7 to move downward and snap into the keyboard slot;
[0028] After the pressing stops, the lifting block 10 moves vertically upward in the guide slot 8 along the guide rod 12 under the tension of the return spring 9;
[0029] The upwardly moving lifting block 10 supports the latch 5 through the pulling connecting rod 13 , so that the latch 5 is closed, and then supports the button 1 to rebound through the load-bearing tube 2 .
[0030] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
