Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of key cap storage devices, in particular to a key cap storage box. Background Art

[0002] Keycaps are the covers on the top of each key on the keyboard. They are usually made of plastic, metal or other materials. Their main function is to identify the function of the key and provide a better touch and appearance. Most keycaps are removable and replaceable. For example, in a mechanical keyboard, the keycaps can usually be easily pulled out with a key puller and replaced with the user's favorite keycap style, material or color. This allows users to customize the look and feel of the keyboard according to their personal preferences;

[0003] With the development of society, more and more young people pursue personalization and customization, which directly stimulates the diversification of keycaps. More and more consumers own multiple sets of keycaps. At the same time, the demand for keycap storage is also growing. The keycap storage boxes on the market usually use a press-type mother-and-child buckle to fasten the upper and lower covers. This buckle method is widely used because it is simple, convenient and low-cost. This type of press-type mother-and-child buckle causes the deformation of the mother buckle by pressing, and the child buckle can be fastened with the mother buckle through the deformation of the mother buckle.

[0004] For example, a keycap storage box with authorization announcement number CN220663281U has an upper cover movably connected to the upper part of the box body, and the upper cover is provided with a buckle plate and is movably connected to the outer wall of the box body by a buckle. The upper cover is detachably connected to facilitate the storage of the keycap kit to avoid scattering. In essence, it is also a push-type mother-and-child buckle to fasten and fix the upper and lower covers. In order to facilitate daily use, the buckle feed of such push-type mother-and-child buckles is usually low, which leads to a decrease in the elasticity of the mother buckle itself and a decrease in the fastening force after repeated use. When the storage box falls due to external force, the buckle position cannot withstand the impact caused by the impact and bounces open, and the upper and lower covers are opened accordingly, which causes the keycaps stored inside to scatter. This requires users to spend a lot of time to rearrange the keycaps, and there are still deficiencies in actual use. Utility Model Content

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 A keycap storage box includes a box body 1, a top cover 2, and a storage tray 16 movably connected to the box body 1, a keycap separator 5 is arranged on the storage tray 16 and the bottom inner wall of the box body 1, a first pin column 6 is arranged on the top of the storage tray 16, a second pin column 10 is arranged on the bottom inner wall of the box body 1, and the bottom of the first pin column 6 is nested and connected with the top of the second pin column 10;

[0033] A pin 3 is connected through the top cover 2, and a locking assembly is provided at the bottom of the pin 3. The pin 3 passes through the top cover 2 and the first pin column 6 in sequence, and is rotatably engaged with the second pin column 10 through the locking assembly.

[0034] In the present invention, the top cover 2, the storage tray 16 and the box body 1 can be buckled together as a whole in sequence through the pin 3 and the locking assembly on the pin 3. Compared with the prior art, when the storage box is dropped due to external force, the buckle position cannot withstand the impact caused by the collision and bounces open, and the upper and lower covers are opened accordingly. The pin 3 and the locking assembly on the pin 3 can firmly lock the top cover 2, the storage tray 16 and the box body 1. When the keycap storage box falls accidentally, the three will not disintegrate and separate, which can effectively prevent the keycaps in the keycap storage box from scattering.

[0035] It should be noted that by stacking the storage trays 16 inside the box body 1 , a double-layer structure can be formed with the bottom space of the box body 1 , thereby effectively increasing the storage space for the key caps.

[0036] The material of the pin 3 in the present invention includes but is not limited to metal, wood and plastic.

[0037] See also Figure 1The box body 1 is a square structure, and the shapes of the top cover 2 and the storage tray 16 match the box body 1, and there are four pins 3, which are respectively located at the four corners of the box body 1. By setting the box body 1 to be square, the keycaps can be better stored, and the space utilization rate is higher. The four pins 3 located at the four corners of the box body 1 can better improve the stability of locking the top cover 2 and the storage tray 16.

[0038] See also Figure 4 Figure 8 The locking assembly includes a recess 12 and a semicircular protruding buckle 13 arranged at the bottom of the pin 3. An arc-shaped limiting protrusion 15 is arranged in the second pin column 10. The semicircular protruding buckle 13 cooperates with the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 15 structure. A through hole 11 for the pin 3 to pass through is opened on the top cover 2, and the number of the through holes 11 is equal to the number of the pins 3 and corresponds one to one.

[0039] It should be noted that when it is necessary to snap the top cover 2, the storage tray 16 and the box body 1 together as a whole in sequence, the pin 3 can be first inserted into the through hole 11, and then passed through the corresponding first pin column 6 and the second pin column 10 in sequence, and then the pin 3 can be rotated 180 degrees, so that the semicircular protruding buckle 13 can be snapped into the corresponding arc-shaped limiting protrusion 15, and the pin 3 can be fixed, so that the top cover 2, the storage tray 16 and the box body 1 can be firmly locked together, and when the keycap needs to be removed, it is only necessary to rotate the pin 3 another 180 degrees to rotate the recess 12 to one side of the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 15. At this time, the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 15 will not hinder the movement of the pin 3, and the user can easily remove the pin 3 to complete the removal of the top cover 2 and the storage tray 16.

[0040] See also Figure 2 A first groove 4 is provided on both sides of the top cover 2, and a second groove 7 is provided on both sides of the storage tray 16. Through such an arrangement, the first groove 4 and the second groove 7 can facilitate the taking and placing of the top cover 2 and the storage tray 16, respectively, making it more convenient to use.

[0041] See also Figure 3 Figure 4 A plurality of positioning rails 8 are vertically arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, and a plurality of limiting grooves 9 are opened on the storage tray 16. The number of the limiting grooves 9 is equal to and corresponds to the positioning rails 8. Each limiting groove 9 cooperates with the corresponding positioning rail 8 structure, and a slot 14 is opened on the top of the second pin column 10.

[0042] By cooperating with the corresponding positioning guide rail 8 structure, the storage tray 16 can be placed vertically in the box body 1, and the horizontal direction of the storage tray 16 is limited. By nesting and connecting the bottom of the first pin column 6 with the top of the second pin column 10, the stability of the storage tray 16 when placed inside the box body 1 can be improved to prevent it from shaking.
