[0032] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will be more clearly described according to the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in exact proportions. They are only used to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a luminous keyboard, including a keyboard body 1 and a lamp cover 2, a mounting groove 11 is recessed at the edge of the keyboard body 1, a light-emitting element 3 is installed in the mounting groove 11, and the lamp cover 2 is a light-transmitting part in a groove shape, and the notch of the lamp cover 2 is docked with the notch of the mounting groove 11 and installed at the notch of the mounting groove 11, so that the lamp cover can be easily removed from the keyboard body, thereby directly replacing the light-emitting element or lamp cover, so that the operation process is simple when the light-emitting element or lamp cover is replaced, and it will not cause any impact on the structure and circuit inside the keyboard body.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple mounting slots and lamp covers can be provided, and multiple mounting slots and multiple lamp covers correspond one to one, each lamp cover is installed at the corresponding mounting slot, and each mounting slot is provided with a light-emitting element. Specifically, the mounting slots on the keyboard body can be 1-4 (specifically 1, 2, 3 or 4). At this time, mounting slots can be provided on the four sides of the keyboard body as needed (preferably, at most one mounting slot can be provided on each side of the keyboard body). Preferably, only one mounting slot 11 can be provided, and the mounting slot is provided on the front side of the keyboard body 1 (the side of the keyboard body away from the "space bar" is the front side, and the side of the keyboard body close to the "space bar" is the back side), and the two ends of the mounting slot 11 are close to the two ends of the keyboard body 1. It has a simple structure and good aesthetics.

[0035] The lamp cover described in this embodiment may not be a transparent part, it only needs to be able to transmit light, and the lamp cover may even be colored (such as red, green or blue, or even colorful). In this case, even if the light emitted by the light-emitting element is white light, the light will appear in a color close to the color of the lamp cover after being emitted through the lamp cover, thus creating a colorful atmosphere.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the light-emitting element 3 in this embodiment is a lamp tube or a light strip, and the light-emitting element 3 is arranged along the length of the mounting groove 11. Its structure is simple, and the light intensity distribution throughout the entire lamp cover is relatively uniform, and the appearance is good. The light color of the light-emitting element can be selected according to personal preference. Specifically, the colorful atmosphere created by the luminous keyboard is determined by the light-emitting element and the lamp cover. Even some patterns can be designed on the lamp cover, so that when the light-emitting element is lit, the colorful atmosphere created by the entire luminous keyboard is more beautiful. Preferably, the light-emitting element in this embodiment can use a cold light source. Of course, when the light-emitting element is a heat light source, it is necessary to improve the heat dissipation performance of the mounting groove. Therefore, heat dissipation holes can be uniformly distributed at the lower end of the mounting groove 11 (the lower end of the mounting groove is the lower end of the keyboard body. In this case, the front lower end of the keyboard body is uniformly distributed with heat dissipation holes that communicate with the mounting groove. The heat dissipation holes are preferably circular holes with a diameter of about 1 mm). Its structure is simple, so that the heat in the mounting groove can be dissipated through the heat dissipation holes. In this embodiment, the light emitting element is electrically connected to the keyboard body. When the keyboard body is powered on, the light emitting element lights up, and when the keyboard body is powered off, the light emitting element goes out (that is, the light emitting element can run synchronously with the computer host).

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the keyboard cable of the luminous keyboard provided in this embodiment can be set in a fixed cable setting mode or a separated cable setting mode. The latter requires a plug-in port 12 to be set on the keyboard body. The plug-in port 12 is used to plug into the keyboard cable, so that the keyboard body and the keyboard cable are separated, making the entire luminous keyboard more convenient to use. Specifically, the plug-in port can be a type-c interface, a micro-USB interface or a Lightning interface, of course not limited to this. At this time, one end of the keyboard cable is a USB port for plugging into the computer host, and the other end is a terminal that matches the plug-in port 12. They all belong to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the plug-in port 12 can be set at a position corresponding to the installation slot. At this time, a wire hole 23 aligned with the plug-in port needs to be reserved on the lamp cover for the keyboard cable to pass through. Of course, the setting position of the plug-in port on the keyboard body can also avoid the installation slot. At this time, there is no need to set a wire hole 23 on the lamp cover.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are multiple ways to install the lamp cover on the keyboard body, as follows:

[0039] One of the ways to install the lamp cover on the keyboard body is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the mounting groove 11 and the lamp cover 2 in this embodiment are both strip-shaped and fit together, and the notch end of the lamp cover 2 is plugged into the notch of the mounting groove 11. The structure is simple, so that the luminous surface of the entire keyboard body is wide and the aesthetics are good. After the lamp cover is plugged into the mounting groove, there is a certain friction resistance between the two, so that the lamp cover cannot be easily loosened from the notch of the mounting groove, but the lamp cover can be pulled out from the notch of the mounting groove by manually applying a certain pulling force to replace the light-emitting element or the lamp cover.

[0040] The second installation method of the lamp cover on the keyboard body is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is improved on the basis of one of the above-mentioned installation methods. Specifically, the notch of the installation groove 11 is a socket, and the notch of the lamp cover 2 is a plug interface. The notch of the lamp cover 2 is inserted into the notch of the installation groove 11. Its structure is simple, and the notch of the lamp cover is in the installation groove, which makes the entire luminous keyboard more beautiful. In addition, a plurality of first buckling portions 21 are provided at the notch of the lamp cover 2 along the circumferential interval, and a plurality of second buckling portions 111 are provided at the notch of the installation groove 11 along the circumferential interval, and the plurality of first buckling portions 21 correspond to the plurality of second buckling portions 111 one by one and They cooperate with each other, after the lamp cover 2 is plugged into the mounting groove 11, and each first snap-fitting portion 21 is aligned with the corresponding second snap-fitting portion 111 and snap-fitted to each other, so that the lamp cover is installed on the mounting groove more firmly and not easy to loosen (more stable than one of the installation methods). Specifically, in this embodiment, the first snap-fitting portion 21 is a snap tooth, and the second snap-fitting portion 111 is a snap groove, or the first snap-fitting portion 21 is a snap groove, and the second snap-fitting portion 111 is a snap tooth. Its structure is simple, and it is convenient to snap the lamp cover and the mounting groove (the way in which the snap teeth and the snap groove are snapped to each other belongs to the prior art and will not be described here).

[0041] The third installation method of the lamp cover on the keyboard body is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, this embodiment is improved on the basis of one or two of the above-mentioned installation methods. Specifically, connecting holes 112 are provided at both ends of the installation groove 11, and threaded holes 22 are provided at both ends of the lamp cover 2. The notch of the lamp cover 2 is plugged into the notch of the installation groove 11, and the threaded hole 22 at the same end is aligned with the connecting hole 112. A connecting bolt 4 threadedly connected to the threaded hole 22 is inserted into the aligned connecting hole 112 and the threaded hole 22 to install the lamp cover 2 at the notch of the installation groove 11. In this way, the lamp cover can also be fastened to the keyboard body by connecting bolts, so that the lamp cover is not easy to loosen. When the lamp cover needs to be removed, it is only necessary to unscrew the connecting bolts with a screwdriver to pull the lamp cover off the keyboard body. In this embodiment, the connecting holes at each end of the mounting slot can be one or more, depending on the specific needs, preferably one or two, and the threaded holes on the lamp cover can be formed by embedding a metal nut at the corresponding position of the lamp cover (the inner hole of the nut forms a threaded hole, so that the threaded hole on the lamp cover is not easy to slip).

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Any ordinary technician in this industry can smoothly implement the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above. However, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by technicians familiar with this profession without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
