Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of double-color cap buttons and relates to a novel double-color cap button structure. Background Art

[0002] A double-color keycap refers to a keycap structure formed by double-color molding. This keycap processing technology has relatively high requirements. Simply put, it is to fuse two different colors of plastics together to form a pattern on the keycap that is different from the keycap color. However, the double-color keycaps in the prior art are simply shell structures, and the overall structural strength is relatively low. During use, they are easily affected by external forces and cause breakage. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0004] A novel double-color cap button structure includes: a keycap shell, a keycap body, and an installation support member;

[0005] The keycap shell is a hollow structure with an open bottom. The keycap body is formed in the keycap shell by double-color injection molding; the keycap shell and the keycap body are of double-color structure. A through pointing groove is formed at the front end of the keycap shell. The keycap body is filled into the pointing groove and is flush with the surface of the keycap shell to form a keycap indication bar with a color difference from the keycap shell;

[0006] The installation support member is formed in the keycap body by insert injection molding. A button installation hole is formed at the lower end of the installation support member, and an installation screw hole penetrating through to the button installation hole is formed at the rear end of the keycap shell. The button installation hole and the installation screw hole are vertically arranged.

[0007] As a further scheme of the utility model: the installation support member is made of a metal material.

[0008] As a further scheme of the utility model: the front end of the keycap shell is formed with a forwardly protruding pointing end, and the pointing end is arrow-shaped.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model: The double-color keycap structure is realized by double-color injection molding the keycap body inside the keycap shell, and an installation support member made of a metal material is arranged in the keycap body by insert injection molding. The installation of the button is realized through the installation support member, and the structural strength of the button structure itself is improved through it, so as to improve the overall structural quality of the double-color keycap.
