DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] 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 of the embodiments.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A mechanical keyboard with waterproof and dustproof functions includes a keyboard body 1, a storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the keyboard body 1, a plurality of drainage ports 101 are penetrated through the bottom surface of one end of the keyboard body 1 away from the storage box 2, a storage cavity 201 is formed inside the storage box 2, a dustproof cloth 5 is connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity 201, one end of the dustproof cloth 5 penetrates the storage box 2 and is connected to a clamping component, and the other end of the clamping component is connected to the plurality of drainage ports 101.

[0024] The mechanical keyboard with waterproof and dustproof function in the utility model is similar to the existing mechanical keyboard structure, such as a high-sensitivity optical axis luminous mechanical keyboard disclosed in the patent with publication number CN208706501U. Figures 1 to 5As shown, when the mechanical keyboard with waterproof and dustproof function in the utility model does not need to use the keyboard body 1 for a long time (for example, after get off work or on vacation), you only need to manually pull up the clamping assembly. After the clamping assembly is pulled, the dustproof cloth 5 will be pulled out from the storage cavity 201, and then continue to pull the clamping assembly so that the dustproof cloth 5 passes from the top of the keyboard body 1. Then, the clamping assembly is clamped in a plurality of drainage ports 101, and then the dustproof cloth 5 can be limited, so that the dustproof cloth 5 will not fall off the keyboard body 1, and will not automatically return to the storage cavity 201, thereby achieving the purpose and effect of dustproof. If water is accidentally spilled on the keyboard body 1, the accumulated water can also be discharged to the outside through a plurality of drainage ports 101, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproofing.

[0025] Special mention should be made here:

[0026] 1. The connection between the storage box 2 and the keyboard body 1 can also be a detachable connection. For example, some users may frequently maintain the keyboard body 1, or they may be special workers, and the extra design will affect the normal operation of the keyboard body 1. At this time, the storage box 2 and the keyboard body 1 can be disassembled. The currently common detachable connection is a slider with a slide groove, or a clamp head with a bayonet, which are all existing common detachable designs, so they are not described in detail here.

[0027] 2. The dustproof cloth 5 can also have a waterproof function. When water is spilled or dripped onto the surface of the dustproof cloth 5 during protection, the water flow can also be directed to the outside of the keyboard body 1 to avoid dripping directly onto the keyboard body 1, thereby increasing the waterproof effect.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 The card-jointing assembly includes a card plate 8 and a plurality of card blocks 10. One end of the dust-proof cloth 5 is connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity 201. The other end of the dust-proof cloth 5 passes through the storage box 2 and is fixedly connected to one side of the card plate 8. The side of the card plate 8 close to the dust-proof cloth 5 is fixedly connected to the plurality of card blocks 10. The other ends of the plurality of card blocks 10 are respectively card-joined to the inner walls of the plurality of drain ports 101.

[0029] More specifically, when it is necessary to use the dustproof cloth 5 to prevent dust, it is only necessary to pull the card plate 8 outward. After the card plate 8 moves outward, the dustproof cloth 5 will be pulled out from the storage cavity 201, and when the dustproof cloth 5 is stretched to a sufficient length, it is only necessary to align the several card blocks 10 on the card plate 8 with the drain port 101 and insert them. The friction between the card blocks 10 and the drain port 101 can fix the dustproof cloth 5, so that the dustproof cloth 5 will not fall off the keyboard body 1, and will not automatically return to the storage cavity 201, thereby achieving the purpose and effect of dustproof.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, side cloths 7 are hinged on both sides of the dustproof cloth 5 , and the length of the two side cloths 7 is not less than the width of the keyboard body 1 .

[0031] More specifically, by providing two side cloths 7, shielding can be provided on both sides of the keyboard body 1, further improving the dustproof effect.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer walls at both ends of the storage box 2 are fixedly connected with No. 1 Velcro 3, and the two side cloths 7 are respectively bonded to the two No. 1 Velcro 3 on one side close to the keyboard body 1, and the outer wall of the dustproof cloth 5 at one end close to the card board 8 is fixedly connected with No. 2 Velcro 6, and the two side cloths 7 are bonded to the No. 2 Velcro 6 on the side away from the keyboard body 1.

[0033] More specifically, by providing the No. 1 Velcro 3, after the two side cloths 7 are unfolded, the two side cloths 7 can be stuck to the two ends of the storage box 2 to prevent the side cloths 7 from sliding off by themselves; and by providing the No. 2 Velcro 6, when the dustproof cloth 5 needs to be stored, it is only necessary to fix the two side cloths 7 on the No. 2 Velcro 6 at the same time, so that the two side cloths 7 and the dustproof cloth 5 can be received in the storage cavity 201 together, which is simple and easy to operate.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 The inner wall of the storage chamber 201 is fixedly connected with a winding roller 15, and the outer walls at both ends of the winding roller 15 are sleeved and fixedly connected with coil springs 14, and the outer ends of the two coil springs 14 are fixedly connected to the end of the dustproof cloth 5 away from the card plate 8, and the dustproof cloth 5 is wrapped around the outside of the winding roller 15.

[0035] More specifically, when the dustproof cloth 5 is pulled out from the storage chamber 201, the coil spring 14 is pulled open. When the dustproof cloth 5 needs to be stored, it is only necessary to loosen the snap-fit ​​assembly, and the dustproof cloth 5 can be wound onto the winding roller (15) in the storage chamber 201 through the characteristics of the coil spring 14, which is convenient and quick.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 An adjustment bar 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the storage box 2 away from the keyboard body 1, and a rotating rod 11 passes through and is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment bar 9. The two ends of the rotating rod 11 respectively pass through the two ends of the adjustment bar 9 and are fixedly connected to two support blocks 4.

[0037] More specifically, some users are accustomed to raising the upper end of the keyboard body 1 a little bit. In this case, by setting the adjustment bar 9, the rotating rod 11 and the two support blocks 4, when the height needs to be adjusted, only the rotating rod 11 needs to be rotated to change the angles of the two support blocks 4 at both ends of the rotating rod 11, and then the height of the rear end of the keyboard body 1 can be raised by the support blocks 4, thereby achieving the purpose of tilting the keyboard body 1.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the adjustment bar 9 is provided with a connected spring cavity 901 and a plurality of sockets 902 , the inner walls of the spring cavity 901 and the plurality of sockets 902 are connected with a limiting component, and the limiting component is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 11 .

[0039] More specifically, by providing a limit assembly, when the rotating rod 11 is rotated to adjust the inclination of the keyboard body 1, the limit assembly can be used to limit the position, thereby preventing the keyboard body 1 from standing unstable.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The limiting assembly includes an extrusion spring 13 and a plug 12, one end of the extrusion spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spring cavity 901, the other end of the extrusion spring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the plug 12, the outer wall of the other end of the plug 12 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the plurality of sockets 902, and the plug 12 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 11.

[0041] More specifically, when the tilt angle of the keyboard body 1 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to pull the rotating rod 11 to one side. After the rotating rod 11 is subjected to force, the plug 12 connected to the surface will be moved together until the plug 12 is disengaged from the socket 902. Then, the rotating rod 11 is rotated to adjust according to one's own needs. When it is adjusted to a suitable height, it is only necessary to release the rotating rod 11. The rotating rod 11 and the plug 12 can be inserted into the socket 902 again for limiting under the action of the extrusion spring 13. It is simple and easy to operate.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
