DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] 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.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] refer to Figure 1-2A waterproof keyboard includes a panel 1 and a key cap 2. The panel 1 is provided with a plurality of key slots 201. Each key slot 201 is provided with a baffle 202 around it, and the horizontal height of the baffle 202 is greater than the horizontal height of the panel 1. The baffle 202 can be integrally formed with the panel 1 to reduce production costs. At the same time, the integral forming can reduce the gap between the panel 1 and the baffle 202, thereby improving the sealing performance. A fixing ring 203 is provided inside the key slot 201. An end of the fixing ring 203 away from the bottom of the key slot 201 is provided with a mounting groove 204. A first elastic member 205 is provided in the key slot 201, and one end of the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 204, and the other end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the key cap 2. The key cap 2 is close to the baffle 2. A first sealing ring 206 is provided on one side of the baffle 202, and a second sealing ring 207 is provided on the outer surface of the baffle 202 away from the bottom of the key slot 201. The first sealing ring 206 abuts against the second sealing ring 207, and the side of the first sealing ring 206 close to the baffle does not contact the outer surface of the baffle 202, and the side of the second sealing ring 207 close to the keycap 2 does not contact the inner surface of the keycap 2. This arrangement can reduce the friction between the keycap 2 and the baffle 202 while ensuring the sealing of the keyboard, so that the user will not feel hysteresis due to resistance when typing quickly, thereby improving the typing speed. At the same time, reducing friction can also reduce the sound during the pressing process, making the keyboard quieter and increasing the comfort when operating the keyboard.

[0028] The horizontal height of the baffle 202 is higher than that of the panel 1 to play a blocking role. This design can effectively prevent liquid from flowing into the panel 1 through the gap between the key slot 201 and the key cap 2, thereby preventing the liquid from affecting the normal operation of the electronic components of the keyboard, thereby increasing the service life of the keyboard. When people accidentally sprinkle water on the panel 1, most of the water flows to the surface of the panel 1 through the key cap 2. The baffle 202 can block the water from entering the key slot 201, thereby increasing the service life of the electronic components in the key slot 201.

[0029] At the same time, by providing the first sealing ring 206, the second sealing ring 207 and the first elastic member 205, since the elastic member has the force to restore deformation, the first sealing ring 206 and the second sealing ring 207 can be in closer contact, thereby improving the sealing effect of the key slot 201 and preventing liquid from entering the key slot 201. The provided installation slot 204 can ensure that the elastic member will not be offset or misaligned under long-term use, thereby improving the service life of the elastic member.

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] refer to Figure 3-8On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to facilitate the staff to carry it with them, the panel 1 is set to a first shell 101 and a second shell 102. A positioning groove 1011 is provided on one side of the first shell 101, and a positioning block 1021 is provided on one side of the second shell 102. The positioning block 1021 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 1011. The positioning block 1021 and the positioning groove 1011 can quickly help the staff to assemble and improve the installation efficiency. In order to improve the fixing effect, the same structure can be set on the other side of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102.

[0032] A card slot 1012 is provided on one side of the positioning slot 1011, a sliding slot 1022 is provided on the side of the positioning block 1021 close to the card slot 1012, a card block 1023 is provided in the sliding slot 1022 and is engaged with the card slot 1012, and the card block 1023 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding slot 1022 through a reset component, and a sliding component for making the card block 1023 disengage from the card slot 1012 is provided on the side of the card slot 1012 away from the positioning slot 1011.

[0033] When the staff needs to disassemble, they only need to use the sliding assembly to disengage the card block 1023 from the card slot 1012 and pull out the first shell 101 to disassemble the first shell 101 and the second shell 102. The operation is simple. Splitting the keyboard into two can reduce its volume and make it easier for the staff to carry it.

[0034] Specifically, the reset assembly includes a second elastic member 1024 and a first sliding block 1025. A first sliding groove 1026 is provided on the side of the sliding groove 1022 away from the card slot 1012. The first sliding block 1025 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove 1026. One end of the second elastic member 1024 is fixedly connected to the side of the first sliding groove 1026 away from the sliding groove 1022, and the other end of the second elastic member 1024 is fixedly connected to the first sliding block 1025.

[0035] During installation, the card block 1023 can be pressed first to drive the second sliding block 1018 to compress and move in the direction of the second elastic member 1024. The card block 1023 is contracted, and the positioning block 1021 is inserted into the positioning groove 1011. When the card block 1023 corresponds to the card groove 1012, the card block 1023 is engaged with the card groove 1012 under the action of the second elastic member 1024, so as to achieve fixation. By providing the second sliding block 1018 and the second elastic member 1024, the staff only needs to press the card block 1023 and insert the positioning block 1021 into the positioning groove 1011 to complete the installation of the second housing 102, without the need for additional complicated steps, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0036] In order to facilitate installation, the end of the card block 1023 away from the second elastic member 1024 is formed into an arc-shaped structure, and a first inclined surface 1017 slidably connected to the card block 1023 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 1011. Through the provision of the first inclined surface 1017, when the staff installs the second shell 102, there is no need to press the card block 1023 in advance. It is only necessary to align the arc-shaped end of the card block 1023 with the first inclined surface 1017 and push it in. The card block 1023 will then slide on the first inclined surface 1017, so that the first sliding block 1025 compresses the second elastic member 1024, and then the card block 1023 retracts, which facilitates installation and improves installation efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the first sliding block 1025 from being offset, guide grooves 1027 are provided on both sides of the first sliding groove 1026, and guide blocks 1028 are provided on both sides of the first sliding block 1025. The guide blocks 1028 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the guide grooves 1027. The set guide grooves 1027 and guide blocks 1028 can prevent the first sliding block 1025 from being offset or misaligned during movement, thereby improving the stability of the reset assembly and ensuring that the second elastic member 1024 is evenly stressed, thereby extending the service life of the second elastic member 1024.

[0038] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a third elastic member 1013, a second sliding block 1018, a pressure rod 1014, and an extrusion block 1015. A second sliding groove 1016 is provided on a side of the card slot 1012 away from the sliding groove 1022. The second sliding block 1018 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove 1016. One end of the third elastic member 1013 is fixedly connected to the second sliding block 1018. The other end of the third elastic member 1013 is fixedly connected to a side of the second sliding groove 1016 close to the sliding groove 1022. The pressure rod 1014 is provided to the pressing member 1015. 1014 is arranged at one end of the second sliding block 1018 away from the third elastic member 1013, and one side of the pressure rod 1014 extends to the outside of the first shell 101, the extrusion block 1015 is arranged on the side of the second sliding block 1018 close to the slide groove 1022 and abuts against the card block 1023, and the third elastic member 1013 is sleeved on the outer surface of the extrusion block 1015. It should be noted here that the first elastic member 205, the second elastic member 1024 and the third elastic member 1013 are all cylindrical compression springs.

[0039] Sleeving the third elastic member 1013 on the outer surface of the extrusion block 1015 can prevent the third elastic member 1013 from being offset or misplaced after long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the third elastic member 1013.

[0040] Working principle: When the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 need to be disassembled, the pressing rod 1014 only needs to be pressed. In this way, the pressing rod 1014 will drive the second sliding block 1018 to move in the direction of compressing the third elastic member 1013. At the same time, the second sliding block 1018 will push the squeezing block 1015 to squeeze the card block 1023 so that it is separated from the card slot 1012. When the card block 1023 is separated from the card slot 1012, the second housing 102 can be easily pulled out.

[0041] During installation, it is only necessary to align one arc-shaped end of the card block 1023 with the first inclined surface 1017 and push it in, and the card block 1023 will slide on the first inclined surface 1017, so that the first sliding block 1025 compresses the second elastic member 1024, and then the card block 1023 retracts. When the position of the card block 1023 corresponds to the card slot 1012, the card block 1023 will be engaged with the card slot 1012 under the action of the second elastic member 1024, thereby achieving fixation.

[0042] 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.
