DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] 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 the embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 A hidden interface keyboard includes a keyboard 1, with several hidden openings 2 disposed on one side of the keyboard 1. A connecting structure 3 is disposed within the hidden openings 2. One end of the connecting structure 3 is movably mounted with a hidden component 4. The hidden component 4 includes a sliding structure 41 and a rotating structure 42. One end of the sliding structure 41 is connected to the connecting structure 3. A rotating structure 42 is also movably mounted on the sliding structure 41. The rotating structure 42 is also provided with several USB ports 5 and a C port 6. Multiple hidden components 4 can be provided, depending on actual needs or customer requirements.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The connecting structure 3 includes a sleeve 30, a return spring 31, a connecting rod 32, and a limiting ring 33. The sleeve 30 is fixedly mounted in the hidden opening 2. One end of the connecting rod 32 extends into the sleeve 30, and the end of the connecting rod 32 extending into the sleeve 30 is fixedly connected to the return spring 31. The return spring 31 is entirely located in the sleeve 30, and one end of the return spring 32 is fixedly connected to the interior of the sleeve 30. The other end of the connecting rod 32 is fixed to the limiting ring 33. The connecting rod 32 partially extends into the hidden component 4. When using the USB port 5 and the C port 6, the hidden component 4 is first pulled out through the pull-out slot 415. During the pulling process, the return spring 31 is continuously stretched. After the entire component is pulled out, it is rotated to a certain angle so that the hidden component 4 is stuck with the hidden opening 2. The purpose of the rotation is to prevent the hidden component 4 from re-entering the hidden opening 2 under the action of the return spring 31. The angle can be perpendicular to the hidden opening 2 or form a cross effect with the hidden opening 2. The specific angle of rotation depends on the user's habits and preferences.

[0027] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sliding structure 41 includes a sliding block 410, a limiting hole 411, a sliding groove 412, a connecting shaft 413, a guide plate 414, and a pull-out slot 415. The limiting hole 411 is defined at one end of the sliding block 410, and the sliding groove 412 is defined within the limiting hole 411. A connecting shaft 413 is also movably disposed on the upper portion of the sliding block 410, and the rotating structure 42 is hingedly connected to the connecting shaft 413. The sliding block 410 is also provided with a guide plate 414, and a pull-out slot 415 is defined at one end of the sliding block 410. The limiting hole 411 is provided to allow the sleeve 30 to extend into the hidden opening 2 when the entire sliding block 410 is inserted into the hidden opening 2, thereby ensuring that the entire sliding block 410 is immersed in the interior of the keyboard 1 body.

[0028] The sliding block 410 also has an arc-shaped positioning groove 416, and the arc-shaped positioning groove 416 is located on both sides of the guide plate 414. The guide plate 414 also has a guide groove 417. When the rotating arm 420 approaches the sliding block 410, the end of the guide rod 423 will contact the guide groove 417, so that the rotating arm 420 is equivalent to moving along the guide plate 414, and when the rotating arm 420 approaches and moves away from the sliding block 410, the guide rod 423 will drive the positioning ring 422 to rotate.

[0029] The sliding block 410 is also provided with two push rods 418, which are located between the guide plate 414 and the connecting shaft 413. The bottom of the push rods 418 is connected to the sliding block 410 via a telescopic spring 419, which is located inside the sliding block 410. After the rotating arm 420 moves away from the sliding block 410, the push rods 418 are pushed out by the telescopic spring 419, thereby preventing the rotating arm 420 from swinging.

[0030] A magnetic block 7 is further provided on the sliding block 410 , and the magnetic block 7 is located at the right end of the guide plate 414 .

[0031] Reference Figure 6 The rotating structure 42 includes a rotating arm 420, a straight slot 421, a positioning ring 422, a guide rod 423 and an adsorption iron plate 424. The rotating arm 420 is movably connected to the connecting shaft 413. A straight slot 421 is provided on the rotating arm 420. Positioning rings 422 are also installed on both sides of the rotating arm 420 through guide rods 423, and the positioning rings 422 are located on both sides of the straight slot 421. The straight slot 421 cooperates with the guide plate 414. An adsorption iron plate 424 is provided at the farthest end of the rotating arm 420. The adsorption iron plate 424 is opposite to the magnetic block 7. A USB interface 5 and a C port 6 are also provided on the rotating arm 420, and the USB interface 5 and the C port 6 are located between the adsorption iron plate 424 and the straight slot 421.

[0032] The USB port 5 and the C port 6 are electrically connected to the circuit board of the keyboard 1 via a wiring harness 8 , and a portion of the wiring harness 8 passes through the rotating arm 420 .

[0033] Principle of this utility model:

[0034] When the USB interface 5 and the C port 6 need to be used, it is only necessary to pull out the hidden component 4, and then rotate it to a certain angle, so that the hidden component 4 is stuck with the keyboard 1 as a whole under the action of the return spring 31, and then the rotating arm 420 is pulled out with the fingers, so that the USB interface 5 and the C port 6 can be exposed to the field of view, and a USB flash drive and other devices can be connected. When it is not necessary to connect a USB flash drive or other devices, first move the rotating arm 420 close to the sliding block 410, and under the action of the magnetic block 7, the iron plate 424 is adsorbed and contacted with the magnetic block 7, so that the rotating structure 42 can be retracted, and then rotated to a certain angle so that the hidden component 4 is aligned with the hidden port 2, so that under the action of the return spring 31, the whole is retracted into the hidden port 2. The USB interface 5 and the C port 6 can be hidden by the hidden component 4, and the interface will not be exposed to the outside, avoiding impurities and dust from interfering with the interface, resulting in the problem of insensitive recognition.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
