Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of keyboards, and more particularly to a hot-swappable keyboard shaft clamping structure. Background Art

[0002] A hot-swappable keyboard refers to a keyboard that can be plugged and unplugged while powered on, generally referring to a keyboard with a USB interface. The purpose of this keyboard design is to facilitate users to remove and replace the keyboard without shutting down the system or cutting off the power, thereby improving the usage efficiency and convenience. The existing hot-swappable keyboard clamping structure generally uses a quick-release buckle structure. When operating the quick-release buckle structure, in order to remove the keyboard shaft, users usually need to use a relatively large amount of force. When some inexperienced users exert too much force when pulling out the keyboard shaft, it may cause damage to the buckle or the connected components. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a hot-swappable keyboard shaft clamping structure, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing hot-swappable keyboard clamping structure generally uses a quick-release buckle structure. When operating the quick-release buckle structure, in order to remove the keyboard shaft, users usually need to use a relatively large amount of force. When some inexperienced users exert too much force when pulling out the keyboard shaft, it may cause damage to the buckle or the connected components.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A hot-swappable keyboard shaft clamping structure includes a slider. A chute is vertically opened on the upper surface of the slider. A shaft seat is slidably arranged in the chute.

Detailed implementation manner

[0020] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a hot-pluggable keyboard shaft body clamping structure includes a slider 1. A chute 2 is penetrated and opened on the upper surface of the slider 1. A shaft seat 3 is slidably arranged in the chute 2. A shaft body 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the shaft seat 3. A contact rod 5 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the shaft seat 3.

[0022] Limit blocks 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the shaft seat 3. First clamping components 7 are arranged on the lower surfaces of the two limit blocks 6. Second clamping components 8 are arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the slider 1. The shaft seat 3 and the slider 1 are clamped by the first clamping components 7 and the second clamping components 8.

[0023] The first clamping component 7 includes an installation groove 701. The installation groove 701 is penetrated and opened on the lower surface of the corresponding limit block 6. Two moving plates 702 are movably arranged in the installation groove 701. Positioning blocks 703 are fixedly installed on the sides of the two moving plates 702 away from each other.

[0024] The second clamping component 8 includes a through groove 801. The through groove 801 is penetrated and opened on the corresponding side of the upper surface of the slider 1. Positioning grooves 802 are opened on both side surfaces of the inner wall of the through groove 801. The positioning block 703 is slidably arranged in the corresponding positioning groove 802.

[0025] The staff relatively presses adjacent moving plates 702 to make them move relatively, so that the positioning block 703 disengages from the positioning groove 802. Then the staff pulls the shaft seat 3 to drive the moving plate 702 to move. Finally, the moving plate 702 disengages from the through groove 801. After the staff maintains the shaft body 4, the moving plate 702 is inserted into the through groove 801. Then the moving plate 702 is moved again so that the positioning block 703 is inserted into the positioning groove 802 again. When the staff controls the shaft body 4 to move, the positioning block 703 can move along the positioning groove 802 so that the shaft body 4 can move normally.

[0026] In another embodiment of the present utility model, two mounting rods 9 are fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner walls of the two mounting grooves 701. Two moving plates 702 are respectively and jointly slidably arranged on both sides of the adjacent mounting rod 9. A spring 10 is sleeved on the middle part of each mounting rod 9.

[0027] By arranging the spring 10, after the staff inserts the moving plate 702 into the through groove 801, when the staff releases the moving plate 702, the compressed spring 10 resets and drives the moving plate 702 to move along the mounting rod 9, without the need for the staff to manually reset the moving plate 702, reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of spherical grooves are formed on the mutually remote side surfaces of the adjacent positioning blocks 703. A ball 11 is rotatably installed in each spherical groove.

[0029] By arranging the ball 11, when the shaft body 4 moves, the ball 11 can change the sliding friction generated between its surface and the positioning groove 802 into rolling friction when the positioning block 703 moves along the positioning groove 802 under the rotation effect, reducing wear.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present utility model, slots 12 are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the slider 1. First magnets 13 are fixedly installed at the bottoms of the two slots 12. Protective covers 14 are arranged at the upper ends of the two first magnets 13. Second magnets 15 are fixedly installed on the lower surfaces of the two protective covers 14. The first magnets 13 and the second magnets 15 are arranged with opposite polarities.

[0031] Under the attraction of the first magnets 13 and the second magnets 15 with opposite polarities, the protective cover 14 can be inserted and matched with the slot 12, so as to cover and protect the moving plate 702, avoiding the situation that the moving plate 702 moves due to external force touch during the use of the hot-pluggable keyboard, resulting in the dropping of the shaft body 4.

[0032] The working principle of the hot-pluggable keyboard shaft body clamping structure:

[0033] During use, the staff relatively presses the adjacent moving plates 702 to make them move relatively, so that the positioning block 703 disengages from the positioning groove 802. Then the staff pulls the shaft seat 3 to drive the moving plate 702 to move. Finally, the moving plate 702 disengages from the through groove 801. After the staff maintains the shaft body 4, the moving plate 702 is inserted into the through groove 801. Then the moving plate 702 is moved again, so that the positioning block 703 is inserted into the positioning groove 802 again. When the staff controls the shaft body 4 to move, the positioning block 703 can move along the positioning groove 802, enabling the shaft body 4 to move normally.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
