Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of keyboards, in particular to a key cap and a keyboard combined with different materials. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for keyboard products. They not only pay attention to quality, but also have certain requirements for the appearance of keyboards. At present, the keycaps in the keyboards on the market are all one-piece ABS, PBT keycaps or one-piece metal keycaps processed by CNC machine tools. The appearance of the keyboard is concentrated on the lighting effect of the keyboard and the appearance of the keycaps. The appearance of the existing keyboard keycaps is usually changed by changing the shape of the characters on the keycaps, changing the hollow carving method of the keycap body, or adding additional decorations to the keycaps to change the appearance of the keycaps. The keycaps themselves cannot be disassembled. If you want to replace the keycaps, you can only replace them in units of one or a set. Moreover, these keycaps are only printed with simple English letters, punctuation marks, and Arabic numerals on the surface of the keycaps. These keycaps themselves cannot be freely matched and flexibly used in terms of shape, structure, and combination. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the decorative sheet is a soft colloid, and a back adhesive layer is provided on a side of the soft colloid facing the embedding opening.

[0009] Preferably, a cross groove for assembling with a switch shaft is provided at the bottom of the key core.

[0010] Preferably, a through hole communicating with the cross groove is provided at the bottom of the embedding opening.

[0011] A keyboard is provided with one or more key caps as described above installed on the keyboard.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model mainly relates to a keycap and keyboard combined with different materials, by setting an inlay opening on the top surface of the key shell, and then interferingly fitting the decorative sheet with the inlay opening, the decorative sheet can be made of materials such as glass, stainless steel or aluminum sheet, etc., firstly, it provides players with a brand new visual effect, and the combination of different materials brings a brand new visual impact of the keycap; secondly, the wear resistance of glass, stainless steel or aluminum sheet is stronger than that of plastic, which can reduce the wear and scratch problems of the keycap during use, prolong the service life of the keycap, and give users different touch key feelings. In addition, the decorative sheet allows users to customize or DIY replace it according to personal preferences and needs. Players can use a harder rod to pass through the cross slot and push the decorative sheet out of the through hole, so that the decorative sheet can be replaced, so that the keycap is more beautiful and fashionable. Different customization involves giving the keycap a unique style and personality, improving the visual effect when the user uses it, and also reducing the production cost when making a customized keyboard.

[0022] See also Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model relates to a keycap and keyboard made of different materials, including a key shell 1 and a decorative sheet 2. The top surface of the key shell 1 is provided with an embedding opening 111, and the decorative sheet 2 is interference fit with the embedding opening 111.

[0023] Furthermore, the decorative sheet 2 can be made of glass, stainless steel, aluminum, etc., which can reduce the wear and tear of the keycaps during use, and can give users different touch feelings, making the keys more accurate and improving input efficiency. The shape of the decorative sheet 2 can have other shapes, such as circular, quadrilateral or polygonal. In this embodiment, the shape of the decorative sheet 2 is a quadrilateral. The decorative sheet 2 allows users to customize or DIY according to personal preferences and needs, and can freely match different decorative sheets to make the keycaps more personalized. The clever combination of different materials brings a new visual impact to the keycaps, which is refreshing.

[0024] Furthermore, the decorative sheet 2 may be made of soft colloid, which is adhered to the inlay opening 111 through a backing adhesive layer to provide another feel for the keycap.

[0025] Furthermore, the key shell 1 includes a key top 11 and a key skirt 12. The key skirt 12 is enclosed below the key top 11 to form a first concave cavity 13 with a downward opening. At least one key core 131 is disposed in the first concave cavity 13. The key top 11 is partially recessed inward to form an embedding opening 111. In this embodiment, the shape of the embedding opening 111 matches the decorative sheet 2, so that the decorative sheet 2 can be embedded in the embedding opening 111 for interference fit. In this embodiment, a cross groove 132 is disposed at the bottom of the key core 131. The cross groove 132 is used as a key cap embedding opening, which can be assembled and used with most existing key bodies, thereby improving the versatility of the key cap.

[0026] The utility model mainly relates to a keycap and keyboard combined with different materials. By setting an inlay opening 111 on a keycap key shell 1, a decorative sheet 2 is inlaid and installed into the inlay opening 111 through interference fit. The decorative sheet 2 can be made of glass, stainless steel, aluminum and other materials, which can reduce the wear and scratch problems of the keycap during use, extend the service life of the keycap, and give users different touch feelings, making the keypress more accurate and improving input efficiency. In the utility model, the decorative sheet 2 allows users to customize according to personal preferences and needs, so that the keycap is more beautiful and fashionable. Different customizations can give the keycap a unique style and personality, improve the visual effect when the user uses it, and also reduce the production cost when making a customized keyboard.

[0027] The utility model mainly relates to a keycap and keyboard combined with different materials. The bottom of the inlay opening 111 is provided with a through hole 112 which is connected with the cross groove 132. Players can use a harder rod to pass through the cross groove 132 and push out the decorative sheet 2 from the through hole, so as to replace the decorative sheet 2.

[0028] In order to enhance the visual impact, the key shell 1 is made of light-transmitting material.

[0029] In order to enhance the hand feel, the contour of the decorative sheet 2 is a curved surface.

[0030] A keyboard is provided with one or more key caps as described above installed on the keyboard.

[0031] The above implementation modes are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering and technical personnel in the field shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
