[0024] The following is a detailed description of the keycap remover clip proposed in this utility model, combined with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are highly simplified and not to exact scale, and are intended solely to facilitate and clearly illustrate the embodiments of this utility model. Identical or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent identical or similar components.

[0025] The utility model embodiment provides a keycap removal clip, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , including two clamping members 1 hinged in the middle, the clamping member 1 includes a clamping handle 1a, a hinged portion 1b and a clip 1c, the two ends of the hinged portion 1b are respectively connected to the clamping handle 1a and the clip 1c, and the hinged portions 1b of the two clamping members 1 are hinged.

[0026] When in use, the two clips 1c are positioned opposite to the two outer side gaps of the keycap to be removed, and then the two clips 1c are clamped on the two opposite outer sides of the keycap, and then pulled away from the keycap to remove the keycap.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 The two clips 1c are provided with a protrusion 6 on the opposite inner side away from one end of the hinge portion. The protrusion 6 can support or hook the bottom of the keycap to assist in pulling out the keycap.

[0028] Specifically, the width of the clip 1c is greater than or equal to 2 mm, so that one keycap can be removed at a time. Preferably, the width is greater than or equal to 3 mm, so that one keycap can be removed more stably.

[0029] Specifically, the width of the clip 1c is greater than or equal to 20 mm. In this case, multiple keycaps can be pulled out at one time, which can improve the efficiency of pulling out the keycaps.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 or Figure 3 A gripping portion 2 is provided at one end of the clamping handle 1a away from the hinged portion 1b. When in use, the two gripping portions 2 can be held with one hand, so that the positions of the two clips 1c are opposite to the two outer side gaps of the keycap to be removed, and then the two clips 1c are clamped on the two opposite outer sides of the keycap, and the two gripping portions 2 are held tightly, and then pulled away from the keycap to pull out the keycap.

[0031] Specifically, the upper portion of the gripping portion (2) is a curved (such as an arc) or straight structure or other structure that is comfortable to hold (without protrusions and does not hurt the hand), so that the human hand can fit in with the gripping portion 2 when holding it, and the gripping feeling is comfortable even when held for a long time.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 or Figure 3, the two ends of the holding part 2 are provided with protrusions 3 near the side of the hinged part 1b, the edges of the protrusions 3 are smooth, the shape of the protrusions 3 is arc-shaped protruding towards the end near the hinged part 1b, so that the fingers of the human hand are limited between the two protrusions 3, thereby limiting the position of the human hand, thereby being able to maintain the optimal holding position to pull out the keycap, and being more labor-saving and not tiring the hand after long-term use.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 Or Figure 2 , both of the clamping pieces 1c include a connecting part 1c1 connected with the hinged part 1b and a clamping part 1c2 connected with the connecting part 1c1, the distance between the two clamping parts 1c2 away from the end of the hinged part 1b is greater than the distance between the two clamping parts 1c2 near the end of the hinged part 1b, which is a scissors leg structure, the thickness of the connecting part 1c1 is greater than the thickness of the clamping part 1c2, so that the strength of the clamping piece 1c is enhanced, the clamp is more durable, and when clamping, the clamping part 1c2 with smaller thickness is in contact with the opposite outer side of the keycap, and the keycap is not scattered after being pulled out, or the thickness of the connecting part 1c1 is equal to the thickness of the clamping part 1c2, at this time the connecting part 1c and the clamping part 1c2 can be an integral metal sheet, which also has sufficient strength and can achieve the function of pulling out the keycap, and is also easy to produce.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 Or Figure 2 , both of the connecting parts 1c1 include an expansion part 1c1a connected with the hinged part 1b and a transition part 1c1b connected with the expansion part 1c1a, the distance between the two expansion parts 1c1a away from the end of the hinged part 1b is greater than the distance between the two expansion parts 1c1a near the end of the hinged part 1b, so that the distance between the bottom ends of the two clamping pieces 1c (i.e. the bottom ends of the expansion parts 1c1a) is greater, and it is easier for the positions of the two clamping pieces 1c to be opposite to the opposite two outer side gaps of the plurality of keycaps.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 Or Figure 4 , further comprising a lifting spring 4, the lifting spring 4 is arranged between the opposite inner sides of the corresponding positions of the two clamping handles 1a or clamping pieces 1c, in the natural state, the lifting spring 4 can keep the two clamping pieces 1c away from each other, when holding the two holding parts 2 and making the distance between the two holding parts 2 closer, the lifting spring 4 is compressed, the lifting spring 4 can make the two clamping pieces 1c in an open state, which is easier for the positions of the two clamping pieces 1c to be opposite to the opposite two outer side gaps of the plurality of keycaps, and is easy to operate; when the two holding parts 2 are relaxed, the lifting spring 4 is lifted, which can make the two clamping pieces 1c in an open state, which is easier for the positions of the two clamping pieces 1c2 to be opposite to the opposite two inner side gaps of the keycap, and is easy to put down the keycap.

[0036] With reference to Figure 4 , two said relative inner side of the handle 1a or 1c corresponding position set up with the accommodation groove 5, the both ends of the prop up spring 4 are located in the corresponding accommodation groove 5 respectively, the accommodation groove 5 can make the space of installing prop up spring 4 more abundant, so that the longer prop up spring 4 can be installed, the resistance generated by the deformation of the longer prop up spring 4 is smaller, so that the operation of pulling out the key cap is more labor-saving.

[0037] With reference to Figure 4 , two said handle 1a includes the straight handle 1a1 connected with the hinge part 1b and the expansion handle 1a2 connected with the straight handle 1a1, the distance between the two ends of the expansion handle 1a2 away from the straight handle 1a1 is greater than the distance between the two ends of the expansion handle 1a2 close to the straight handle 1a1, so the distance between the two holding parts 2 is greater in the natural state, when pulling out the key cap, the distance between the two holding parts 2 can be made smaller by holding tightly, the distance between the two clamping pieces 1c is also smaller, the key cap is clamped, so that the key cap is more easily operated.

[0038] With reference to Figure 1 And Figure 2 , the hinge part 1b of one said clamping piece 1 is relatively arranged as two rings, the hinge part 1b of another said clamping piece is arranged as one ring, the centers of the three rings are located on the same axis, further comprising a rotating shaft 7, the rotating shaft is inserted into the three rings, so as to realize the hinge connection of the middle part of the two clamping pieces 1.

[0039] The above description is only the description of the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the scope of the utility model, any change or modification of the above disclosure made by the ordinary skilled in the art of the utility model belongs to the protection scope of the claims.
