[0026] The wrap-around shock-absorbing sleeve 2 comprises an integrally connected trough body 21 and an outer edge 22. The outer edge 22 is located above the trough body 21 and surrounds the opening of the trough body 21. A storage space 23 is defined within the trough body 21, with multiple elastic cylindrical protrusions 24 dispersed across the bottom of the storage space 23. The inner sidewall of the storage space 23 is provided with a circumferential groove located below and closely adjacent to the outer edge 22. The bottom surface of the trough body 21 is provided with multiple recesses 25 extending toward the storage space. The multiple elastic cylindrical protrusions 24 correspond vertically with the multiple recesses 25. The multiple elastic cylindrical protrusions 24 are of the same height, providing stable support for the PCB. An inverted support column 26 is located at the top of the recesses 25, with the height of the support column 26 being half the depth of the recess 25. The wrap-around shock-absorbing sleeve 2 is made of silicone. The elastic, integrated, fully enclosing wrap-around shock-absorbing sleeve 2 provides upward elastic support for the center plate 3, achieving excellent shock absorption. Multiple elastic columnar protrusions 24 provide elastic force to the PCB, allowing the keyboard to bounce up and down effectively when in use. The recesses 25 increase the range of the elastic columnar protrusions 24's upward and downward movement, while the support columns 26 limit the downward movement. When the middle plate 3 is subjected to significant downward pressure, they support the middle plate 3 and prevent it from moving too low.

[0027] The auxiliary pad 10 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 101, the positions of which correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of elastic cylindrical protrusions 24. The auxiliary pad 10 is placed within the receiving space 23 of the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2, and the plurality of elastic cylindrical protrusions 24 pass through the plurality of through-holes 101 in a one-to-one correspondence and extend above the auxiliary pad 10.

[0028] The middle plate 3 includes a PCB board 31, a middle plate pad 32, a positioning plate 33, a mechanical shaft 34, and a keycap 35. The middle plate pad 32 is located below the positioning plate 33, and the PCB board 31 is located below the middle plate pad 32. The bottom of the mechanical shaft 34 passes through the middle plate pad 32 and the positioning plate 33 in sequence and is installed on the PCB board 31. The keycap 35 is installed on the top of the mechanical shaft 34. The middle plate 3 is placed in the accommodating space 23 of the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2, and the groove body 21 provides support and protection for the middle plate 3. The PCB board 31 is located above the auxiliary pad 10, and its bottom abuts against multiple elastic columnar protrusions 24. Multiple elastic columnar protrusions 24 are used to support the PCB board 31. The auxiliary pad 10 has the effects of shock absorption and adjusting the hardness and softness of the feel, and can isolate the noise generated during use, thereby improving the user experience. The middle plate pad 32 is clamped into the groove 26 of the groove body 21 to fix the middle plate 3.

[0029] The reinforcement structure 4 includes a fourth frame 41 and a third frame 42. Both the fourth frame 41 and the third frame 42 are mounted outside the groove 21 of the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2. The combined thickness of the fourth frame 41 and the third frame 42 is equal to the thickness of the groove 21. The fourth frame 41 and the third frame 42 support and secure the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2 while protecting the middle plate 3 within the sleeve from damage.

[0030] The wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2 is located on the base plate 1, the fourth frame 41 is sleeved on the outside of the groove body 21 and is located above the base plate 1, and the third frame 42 is sleeved on the outside of the groove body 21 and is located above the fourth frame 41 and below the outer edge 22, and is in contact with the outer edge 21.

[0031] The rotary switch 7 includes a housing 71, a knob 72, and an encoder 73. The encoder 73 is mounted on the PCB 31. The encoder 73 has a rotating shaft 731, the top of which passes through the second frame 5 and the first frame 6. The knob 72 is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 731, and the housing 71 covers the outside of the knob 72.

[0032] The second frame 5 and the first frame 6 are both provided with mounting holes that match the positions of the keycap 35 and the knob switch 7, so that the keycap 35 and the knob switch 7 can pass through them conveniently. The second frame 5 is sleeved on the outside of the mechanical axis 34 and the rotating shaft 731, and is located above the outer edge 22 and the third frame 42. The first frame 6 is sleeved on the outside of the keycap 35, the knob 72 and the outer shell 71, and is located above the second frame 5. The keycap 35, the knob 72 and the outer shell 71 all pass through the mounting holes of the first frame 5 and the second frame 6, and are located above the second frame 6. The outer edges of the base plate 1, the fourth frame 41, the third frame 42, the second frame 5 and the first frame 6 are all provided with multiple screw holes, and are connected in sequence from bottom to top by bolts. A semicircular notch is provided on the outer edge 22 of the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2 at a position perpendicular to the screw hole to avoid bolts. The second frame 5 and the first frame 6 are used to fix the center plate 3.

[0033] Decorative piece 8 is fixedly mounted below base plate 1. Decorative piece 8 has a slotted interface hole 81. USB port 9 is mounted within decorative piece 1, corresponding to slotted interface hole 81. The top of the USB port passes through the wrapped shock-absorbing sleeve 2 and is electrically connected to PCB 31.

[0034] When the present invention is in use, the keycap 35 is struck, and downward pressure is applied to the PCB board 31 through the mechanical shaft 34. The PCB board 31 moves downward, and a downward force is applied to the elastic columnar protrusion 24 at the corresponding position. The elastic columnar protrusion 24 under force will rebound upward, pushing the middle plate 3 to rise slightly, so that the keyboard can bounce up and down when in use, which has a good shock absorption effect and improves the user experience.

[0035] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
