Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of keyboard technology, and in particular to a waterproof mechanical keyboard. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical keyboard is a type of keyboard. Structurally, each key of a mechanical keyboard has a separate switch to control its closure. This switch is also called an "axis". According to the classification of micro switches, mechanical keyboards can be divided into traditional tea axes, green axes, white axes, black axes, red axes and optical axes. Because each key is composed of an independent micro switch, the key segmentation feel is strong, thus creating a special feel suitable for gaming and entertainment. Therefore, it is usually used as a more expensive high-end gaming peripheral.

[0003] When consumers use electronic devices with keyboards, they often place containers filled with liquids, such as water cups, beverage bottles, coffee cups, and tea cups, near the keyboards. There is a risk of liquid entering the keyboard due to overturning the containers. If water enters and stays inside the keyboard, it can easily cause a short circuit between PCB lines, resulting in poor keyboard functionality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a waterproof mechanical keyboard to improve the waterproof performance of the mechanical keyboard.

[0005] The present application provides a waterproof mechanical keyboard, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A waterproof mechanical keyboard comprises a base, wherein a plurality of mechanical axes and a plurality of waterproof covers are arranged on the base, the number of the waterproof covers is consistent with the number of the mechanical axes and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, the mechanical axes are located inside the waterproof cover, the waterproof cover comprises a lower cover body and an upper cover body, the lower cover body is arranged on the base, the upper end of the lower cover body extends to the inside of the upper cover body, the lower cover body and the upper cover body are slidably connected, the outer side of the lower cover body is provided with a groove, the inner lower end of the upper cover body is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion is slidably arranged in the groove, a plurality of springs are arranged between the upper cover body and the base, the springs are located on the inner side of the lower cover body, a pressure block is arranged on the side of the upper cover body close to the mechanical axis, and a detachable key cap is arranged on the side of the upper cover body away from the pressure block.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the button cap has a smooth curved surface.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the button cap is arranged obliquely.

[0009] Preferably, a protrusion is provided at the inner lower end of the button cap, the protrusion has a slot, and a clamping block is provided at the upper end of the upper cover body. When the button cap is installed on the upper cover body, the clamping block extends into the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the cross section of the slot is a cross-shaped structure.

[0011] Preferably, the spring is fixedly connected to the base.

[0012] Preferably, the waterproof cover is a circular or square structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0014] The present application provides a waterproof cover to protect the mechanical axis, thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the keyboard through the gap between the mechanical axis and the base, thereby increasing the service life of the mechanical keyboard.

[0015] By designing the waterproof cover to be slidably connected between the upper cover and the lower cover, when the operator uses the mechanical keyboard, he presses the key cap, and the upper cover drives the pressure block to move downward, and the pressure block touches the mechanical axis. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. When the operator releases the key cap, the upper cover drives the pressure block and the key cap back to the initial position under the action of the spring rebound, thereby improving the convenience of use.
