[0024] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment proposes an embedded installation keyboard, including a keyboard body 1, the cross section of the keyboard body 1 is a rectangular structure, the bottom of the keyboard body 1 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 10, the two sides of the fixing plate 10 extend in a direction away from the keyboard body 1, and the extended end of the fixing plate 10 is provided with a bolt opening 11, and the two opposite sides of the keyboard body 1 are provided with a first fixing groove 3, the first fixing groove 3 extends to the middle of the keyboard body 1, and the extension length of one of the two first fixing grooves 3 is twice that of the other, that is, the depth of one of the two first fixing grooves 3 is twice that of the other first fixing groove 3. The surface of the keyboard body 1 away from the fixing plate 10 is a key surface, and the key surface includes a number key of -, a decimal point key and a function key. A USB interface is provided on the back of the keyboard body 1, and the fixing plate 10 is provided with an opening corresponding to the USB interface, so that the device can be connected to the USB interface. The bolt opening 11 should be connected to the end closest to the fixing plate 10, so that the fixing plate 10 will have a larger moving space during installation, which is convenient for the installation of the keyboard. The first fixing groove 3 is used to make the connection between the keyboard body 1 and the device mounting plate 100 (i.e., the plate where the device is mounted on the keyboard body 1) more stable. The device mounting plate 100 is provided with a mounting opening corresponding to the keyboard body 1. The two sides of the mounting opening corresponding to the two first fixing grooves 3 should extend toward the middle of the opening, and the extension length should be the same as the depth of the shallower first fixing groove 3 of the two first fixing grooves 3. During installation, the two sides of the mounting opening corresponding to the two first fixing grooves 3 are embedded in the first fixing grooves 3, thereby playing a role in supporting the keyboard body 1 and preventing the keyboard body 1 from sinking into the interior of the device. The width of the first fixing groove 3 should be the same as the thickness of the device mounting plate 100, so that the part of the device mounting plate 100 embedded in the first fixing groove 3 can completely fit the first fixing groove 3 up and down, and then when the keyboard body 1 is subjected to force to the inside or outside of the device, the part of the device mounting plate 100 embedded in the first fixing groove 3 can provide support, so that the connection between the keyboard body 1 and the device is tighter. Setting the extension length of one of the two first fixing grooves 3 to twice that of the other can facilitate the installation or disassembly of the keyboard body 1. During installation, the first fixing groove 3 with an extension length of twice is first connected to the side of the corresponding installation opening, so that the side abuts against the deepest part of the first fixing groove 3. At this time, the keyboard body 1 can extend out of the installation opening, so that the keyboard body 1 is parallel to the equipment mounting plate 100. Finally, the keyboard body 1 is moved as a whole away from the first fixing groove 3 with an extension length of twice, so that the other first fixing groove 3 is connected to the side corresponding to the installation opening; the opposite is true during disassembly.

[0026] In this embodiment, the second fixing groove 4 is provided on the two sides of the keyboard body 1 adjacent to the two first fixing grooves 3. The distance between the second fixing groove 4 and the fixing plate 10 is greater than the distance between the first fixing groove 3 and the fixing plate 10. The horizontal height of the second fixing groove 4 is the same as the horizontal height of the first fixing groove 3. A support bar 2 is provided in the second fixing groove 4. The length of the support bar 2 is the same as the length of the side of the keyboard body 1 where the support bar 2 is located. The support bar 2 extends in a direction away from the keyboard body 1, and the support bar 2 is plugged into the second fixing groove 4. The second fixing groove 4 is used to install the support bar 2. The support bar 2 is used to support the two sides of the keyboard body 1 that are not supported by the device mounting plate 100, so that the two sides also have a certain support, thereby further strengthening the connection between the keyboard body 1 and the device mounting plate 100. The horizontal height of the second fixing groove 4 is the same as the horizontal height of the first fixing groove 3. During the installation process, a part of the second fixing groove 4 will be exposed on the device mounting plate 100, and this exposed part is used to install the support bar 2. The depth of the second fixing groove 4 should also be the same as the width of the support bar 2 structure located in the second fixing groove 4. In this way, after the support bar 2 is installed into the second fixing groove 4, the part of the support bar 2 located inside the second fixing groove 4 will abut against the side of the installation opening, and then the installation opening can limit the support bar 2 and fix the position of the support bar 2, so that it can stably exert the corresponding supporting effect.

[0027] In this embodiment, the surface of the support bar 2 facing away from the fixing plate 10 is inclined toward the end of the support bar 2 away from the keyboard body 1. Such a configuration can make the edge of the support bar 2 smoother, thereby improving the user experience of the keyboard body 1, and when the support bar 2 receives an impact from the side, the inclined support bar 2 can reduce the contact area with the impact object, thereby reducing the impact force received.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support bar 2 is made of a silicone material, which has a certain elasticity, is easy to install, and has excellent waterproof performance, and can prevent external water from entering the device from one side of the support bar 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a waterproof pad 5 is provided around the keyboard body 1, and the waterproof pad 5 abuts against the fixing plate 10. The side of the first fixing groove 3 close to the fixing plate 10 and the side of the waterproof pad 5 away from the fixing plate 10 are located in the same plane, that is, the bottom surface of the first fixing groove 3 and the top surface of the waterproof pad 5 are located in the same plane, so that the device can be connected to the first fixing groove 3 while the waterproof pad 5 abuts against the device mounting plate 100 to achieve a waterproof effect. The waterproof pad 5 is used to prevent external water from entering the interior of the device, and the waterproof pad 5 can further prevent external water from entering the interior of the device from the surroundings of the keyboard body 1.

[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
