[0031] The light guide column can be used to display the working state of the electronic device on the electronic device, and the light guide column can also emit light on the electronic device at a specific position according to a specific rule to achieve a decorative effect. The mechanical keyboard is a common electronic device. During use, the mechanical keyboard can present a specific flashing state to improve the aesthetics of the mechanical keyboard. In some cases, in order to install the light guide column on the mechanical keyboard, a pre-set hole is usually provided on the light guide column, and the light guide column is fixed on the mounting position of the mechanical keyboard by hot melting through point gluing between the hole of the light guide column and the pre-set mounting position on the mechanical keyboard.
[0032] In the process of connecting by hot melting, due to the uncontrollability of the temperature of hot melting, the light guide column and the mechanical keyboard are easily damaged and deformed, which on the one hand easily affects the overall structural strength of the mechanical keyboard, and on the other hand, when the mechanical keyboard is vibrated under stress, the light guide column is easily detached.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present application proposes an example of an electronic device, which can be a mechanical keyboard, the electronic device comprising a shell 10 and a light guide column 20.
[0034] The shell 10 can be a housing on the electronic device for mounting the light guide column 20. Optionally, the shell 10 can be the bottom shell of the mechanical keyboard. The light guide column 20 can be mounted on a pre-set mounting position on the shell 10. The pre-set mounting position can be located on the edge or the inner side of the shell 10. Taking the mechanical keyboard as an example, the light guide column 20 can be mounted at the key of the mechanical keyboard. The light guide column 20 can be arranged according to a pre-set rule.
[0035] The shell 10 is provided with a first wall 11 and a second wall 12, and the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are arranged at an angle.
[0036] The first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are two wall surfaces on the shell 10. In the present example, the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 can be two adjacent wall surfaces on the shell 10, and the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 can also be arranged non-adjacently. Taking the state shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 as an example, the first wall 11 can be a wall surface extending in a first direction a, and the second wall 12 can be a wall surface extending in a second direction b. Wherein, the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are arranged at an angle, which means that the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are not parallel. In the present example, the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are wall surfaces on the shell 10 facing different directions.
[0037] The light guide column 20 is provided with a first connecting part 211 and a second connecting part 221, the first connecting part 211 is detachably connected to the first wall 11, and the second connecting part 221 is detachably connected to the second wall 12.
[0038] The light guide column 20 is used for connecting to the shell 10. The first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 can be intermediate connecting parts of the light guide column 20 and the shell 10. In the example of the present application, the first connecting part 211 is arranged corresponding to the first wall 11, and the second connecting part 221 is arranged corresponding to the second wall 12, so that the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 can be connected to the corresponding wall surface of the shell 10 on different sides of the light guide column 20.
[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example, the first wall 11 extends in the first direction a, which is the upward and downward direction. When the first connecting part 211 is connected to the first wall 11, the movement of the light guide column 20 in the upward and downward direction can be limited by the cooperation of the first wall 11 and the first connecting part 211. In the example, the second wall 12 extends in the second direction b, which is the horizontal front and back direction. When the second connecting part 221 is connected to the second wall 12, the movement of the light guide column 20 in the horizontal front and back direction can be limited by the cooperation of the second wall 12 and the second connecting part 221. By limiting in multiple directions and multiple positions, the degree of freedom of the light guide column 20 relative to the shell 10 can be reduced, and the possibility of the light guide column 20 falling off the shell 10 can be reduced. In the example, the first connecting part 211 is detachably connected to the first wall 11, and the second connecting part 221 is detachably connected to the second wall 12, so that the first connecting part 211 can be quickly connected to the first wall 11, and the second connecting part 221 can be quickly connected to the second wall 12. The light guide column 20 can form a quick release structure on the shell 10 to facilitate the installation of the light guide column 20. Since the detachable connection is adopted, on the one hand, the influence of high temperature on the light guide column 20 during hot melting connection can be reduced, and the possibility of deformation of the light guide column 20 can be reduced; on the other hand, the relative position of the light guide column 20 and the shell 10 can be kept constant, and the possibility of deviation of the light guide column 20 from the preset position caused by deformation of the light guide column 20 or the shell 10 during hot melting process can be reduced; on the other hand, when the light guide column 20 is disassembled, the light guide column 20 can be quickly disassembled, and the possibility of damage to the shell 10 when the light guide column 20 is disassembled can be reduced.
[0040] The first connecting part 211 in the example can be a convex column structure protruding from the light guide column 20, and the first connecting part 211 can be detachably connected with the first wall 11 by pin connection, clamping connection, plug connection or other ways; in the example, a convex column structure can be provided on the first wall 11, and the convex column structure on the first wall 11 can be connected to the first connecting part 211 by pin connection, clamping connection, plug connection or other ways. Optionally, the second connecting part 221 in the example can be a convex column structure protruding from the light guide column 20, and the second connecting part 221 can be detachably connected with the second wall 12 by pin connection, clamping connection, plug connection or other ways; in the example, a convex column structure can be provided on the second wall 12, and the convex column structure on the second wall 12 can be connected to the second connecting part 221 by pin connection, clamping connection, plug connection or other ways.
[0041] The first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 in the example can be provided on different surfaces of the light guide column 20, and the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 can also be provided on the same surface of the light guide column 20 and correspondingly arranged towards the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 respectively.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the light guide column 20 has a first surface 21 and a second surface 22, the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are arranged at an angle, the first surface 21 is arranged towards the first wall 11, and the second surface 22 is arranged towards the second wall 12, the first connecting part 211 is arranged on the first surface 21, and the second connecting part 221 is arranged on the second surface 22.
[0043] The first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are two different surfaces on the light guide column 20, and the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are arranged at an angle, that is, the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are not arranged in parallel. The first surface 21 and the second surface 22 in the example can be two mutually perpendicular surfaces on the light guide column 20.
[0044] The first surface 21 is arranged towards the first wall 11, that is, the first surface 21 can be parallel to the first wall 11, or the first surface 21 can be arranged opposite to the first wall 11 without being parallel to the first wall 11. The first connecting part 211 is arranged on the first surface 21, so that the first connecting part 211 can be matched with the first wall 11.
[0045] The second surface 22 is arranged towards the second wall 12, that is, the second surface 22 can be parallel to the second wall 12, or the second surface 22 can be arranged opposite to the second wall 12 without being parallel to the second wall 12.
[0046] In the example, the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 are respectively arranged on the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 of the light guide column 20, which can be formed on different parts of the light guide column 20, and when the light guide column 20 and the shell 10 are matched with each other, the force of the light guide column 20 can be dispersed to reduce damage of the light guide column 20 caused by local force concentration.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the first connecting part 211 is inserted into the first wall 11. In the example, the first connecting part 211 protrudes from the first surface 21, and the first wall 11 is provided with a insertion hole 111, and the first connecting part 211 is inserted into the insertion hole 111. In the example, the first connecting part 211 can be integrally arranged with the light guide column 20. Alternatively, the first wall 11 can be provided with a protruding column, which is inserted into the first connecting part 211. Alternatively, the insertion hole 111 can be arranged on the first wall 11 and the first connecting part 211 respectively, and the first wall 11 is further provided with a protruding column, which is inserted into the insertion hole 111 of the first connecting part 211, and the first connecting part 211 can be at least partially inserted into the insertion hole 111 of the first wall 11.
[0048] In some examples, the second connecting part 221 is clamped with the second wall 12. In the example, the second wall 12 can be provided with a protruding column, and the second connecting part 221 is provided with a clamping groove 124, and the protruding column of the second wall 12 can be clamped into the clamping groove 124 of the second connecting part 221. Alternatively, the second connecting part 221 protrudes from the second surface 22, and the second wall 12 is provided with a clamping groove 124, and the second connecting part 221 is clamped into the clamping groove 124. Alternatively, the second connecting part 221 can be integrally arranged with the light guide column 20. Alternatively, the clamping groove 124 can be arranged on the second wall 12 and the second connecting part 221 respectively, and the second wall 12 is further provided with a protruding column, which is clamped into the clamping groove 124 of the second connecting part 221, and the second connecting part 221 can be at least partially clamped into the clamping groove 124 of the second wall 12.
[0049] In some examples, the second wall 12 is provided with a protrusion 121, and a clamping groove 124 is formed between the protrusion 121 and the first wall 11. The protrusion 121 can be a protruding structure provided on the surface of the second wall 12, and the protrusion 121 is spaced apart from the first wall 11, so that the gap between the protrusion 121 and the first wall 11 forms the clamping groove 124. The protrusion 121 in the example can be a block structure with a regular shape protruding on the second wall 12, for example, the protrusion 121 can be a regular cuboid structure; the protrusion 121 can be a special-shaped structure with an irregular shape. The second connecting portion 221 can be clamped in the clamping groove 124 formed between the protrusion 121 and the first wall 11, so as to limit the movement of the second connecting portion 221. The protrusion 121 in the example can be integrally provided with the second wall 12, and the protrusion 121 can be separately provided with the second wall 12 and connected with each other.
[0050] In some examples, the protrusion 121 is provided with a guide surface 122 away from the first wall 11, and the guide surface 122 is inclined to the first wall 11; the guide surface 122 is a surface on the protrusion 121, and the guide surface 122 can be a plane or an arc surface. The guide surface 122 in the example is used to guide the second connecting portion 221 when the second connecting portion 221 moves towards the first wall 11, so as to reduce the resistance generated by the protrusion 121 on the second connecting portion 221, and improve the installation performance of the second connecting portion 221. In some examples, the first connecting portion 211 is a protruding column protruding on the first surface 21 of the light guide column 20, the first connecting portion 211 corresponds to the insertion hole 111, and when the first connecting portion 211 is inserted into the insertion hole 111 along the second direction b, the second connecting portion 221 can be abutted on the guide surface 122 and gradually moved along the second direction b to the clamping groove 124.
