Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of key cap moulds, in particular to a key cap side engraved character mould. Background Art

[0002] After World War II, the invention of semiconductors, integrated circuits, and computers led to the emergence of new electronic information technologies, which revolutionized how humans use information. In 1958, the United States pioneered data communications by combining information transmission with computers. From then on, data communications became a direct part of social production. Since then, computers have permeated every aspect of human society, profoundly changing its very nature.

[0003] As the most common information input device for electronic computers, the importance of keyboards is self-evident. If the CPU is the heart of the computer and the monitor is the face of the computer, then the keyboard is the mouth of the computer. It is the keyboard that enables smooth communication between people and computers. There are multiple keys on the keyboard, and keycaps came into being to make it easier for people to press the keys. A keycap is a small plastic cap-shaped component that is buckled on the top of the keyboard keys and marked with the function or numbers and letters of the corresponding keys. The numbers and letters on the keycaps currently on the market are marked on the top of the keycaps, which are easily worn and damaged. The numbers and letters on the keycaps that have been used for a long time are usually severely worn and difficult to identify, which is not convenient for people to use. Therefore, a mold for the production of side-engraved character keycaps is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a keycap side engraving mold to solve the problem proposed in the above background technology that the existing keycap numbers and letter symbols are easily worn and damaged, and the keycaps used for a long time usually have serious wear and tear on the numbers and letter symbols, making them difficult to identify and inconvenient for people to use.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: a keycap side engraving mold, comprising a bottom mold and a connecting plate, the bottom mold and the connecting plate are guided and connected by a guide column and a connecting hole, the guide column is installed on the support arm, the support arm is arranged in the mounting position formed on the connecting plate, the bottom of the connecting plate is provided with a first flow channel, a second flow channel, a third flow channel and a fourth flow channel, the first flow channel, the second flow channel, the third flow channel and the fourth flow channel are all connected with multiple groups of feed holes through branch channels, the multiple groups of feed holes are connected with through holes, the through holes are located below the keycap groove, the side of the keycap groove is provided with a character groove, the character groove is installed on the top of the support member, the bottom of the support member is engaged with the card table formed above the support arm through a card position, and the side of the support member is provided with an elastic component.

[0006] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided on the side of the keycap-shaped groove.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting block is provided at the bottom of the elastic component, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the support arm through two bolts. A connecting shaft is installed above the connecting block, and a spring column is installed outside the connecting shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a shaft sleeve is provided on the outside of the spring column.

[0009] Preferably, the guide column and the connecting hole are transitionally matched.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting position and the support arm are detachably fixed and nested together.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] This keycap side-engraved character mold sets the keycap character groove inside the mold keycap groove. The inner cap is demolded after injection molding, and the outer cap is then injection molded on the inner cap for the second time, so that it can be used to produce keycaps with side engraving. Compared with keycaps with top engraving, the characters on keycaps with side engraving are less susceptible to wear and falling off, and have a longer service life.
