Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a keyboard, including a keyboard body 1, mechanical switches 3 and keycap body 2. Multiple mechanical switches 3 for keycap body 2 are installed on the upper end of the keyboard body 1. Each mechanical switch 3 has a cross-shaped connector 5 at its upper end for installation with the lower end kit 4 of the keycap body 2.

[0029] The upper end of the keyboard body 1 is provided with a semi-transparent light guide plate 6. A clearance hole for mounting multiple mechanical switches 3 is provided on the upper end of the semi-transparent light guide plate 6. A fixing ring 7 is fixed to the opposite side of each semi-transparent light guide plate 6 and keycap body 2. An annular groove for engaging elastic rings 8 is provided on the inner side of each fixing ring 7. An annular elastic element 9 is installed inside each of the two elastic rings 8. A telescopic sleeve 10 is fixed between the two fixing rings 7, covering the outside of the mechanical switches 3. Existing keyboards have large gaps between keycaps, which can lead to problems with long-term use. After use, dust or hair and other debris can get into the gaps, which not only affects the keyboard's lighting effect and breeds bacteria, but also affects the user's feel when pressing the keycaps. This utility model uses a fixing ring 7, an elastic ring 8, an annular elastic element 9 and a telescopic sleeve 10 to prevent dust from entering the gap between the keycap body 2 and the semi-transparent light guide plate 6. The telescopic sleeve 10 can prevent dust from entering the gap between the light guide plate and the keycaps without affecting the user's ability to press the keycap body 2. It prevents dust and foreign objects from entering at the same time.

[0030] The keyboard body 1 has integrated support strips 11 on both sides for placing the semi-transparent light guide plate 6. Multiple high-transparency light guide rings 12 are installed inside the semi-transparent light guide plate 6, and the position of each high-transparency light guide ring 12 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the keycap body 2. Considering that most existing RGB backlit keyboards have light pollution, this utility model adopts a semi-transparent light guide plate 6 to avoid light pollution during nighttime use, so that the light can pass through softly. In order to ensure that the characters of the keycaps are lit, a high-transparency light guide ring 12 that allows high-quality light to pass through is set under each keycap body 2 to ensure the brightness of the high-transparency character component 15.

[0031] The semi-transparent light guide plate 6 has symmetrically fixed plug-in ends 13 at its bottom that are adapted to the groove in the middle of the support strip 11. The semi-transparent light guide plate 6 is fixed to the support strip 11 by fixing bolts 14. The fixing bolts 14 play a role in fixing the semi-transparent light guide plate 6 and the support strip 11. The plug-in ends 13 can effectively help the user to align the semi-transparent light guide plate 6 and the support strip 11. That is, during installation, the plug-in ends 13 are first aligned with the groove in the middle of the support strip 11, and then the fixing bolts 14 are screwed in.

[0032] The keycap has a slot at the top for the high-transparency character part 15 to be embedded in the character. The position of the high-transparency character part 15 on the keycap body 2 does not overlap with the position of the kit 4 on the keycap body 2. By setting the high-transparency character part 15, it is ensured that the light-emitting plate inside the keyboard body 1 can enter the keycap body 2 through the high-transparency light guide ring 12 and then through the high-transparency character part 15.

[0033] The keyboard body 1 has a socket for mounting the socket frame 16 at the upper end. A side protection frame 17 is fixed at the upper end of the socket frame 16. The socket block and the socket are fixed by the limiting bolt 18 on the side of the keyboard body 1. The side protection frame 17 protects the mechanical switches 3 of the keyboard and prevents foreign objects or dust from entering the keyboard body 1 from the side.

[0034] The keyboard body 1 has four fixed regular support feet 19 at the bottom corners, and each regular support foot 19 has an anti-slip pad 20 attached to the bottom. The anti-slip pad 20 improves the stability of the keyboard body 1 during use.

[0035] The keyboard body 1 has a groove on one side of its bottom for placing a lifting support leg 21. The groove is rotatably connected to the lifting support leg 21 via a connecting shaft 22 in the middle. The bottom of the lifting support leg 21 has a shaped groove for installing an anti-slip strip 23. Both sides of the inner wall of the shaped groove are fixed with protruding ends 24 that are adapted to the positioning grooves on the side walls of the anti-slip strip 23. By setting the lifting support leg 21, the rear side of the keyboard body 1 is raised, allowing the user to adjust the keyboard body 1 to be in a horizontal or tilted state as needed. The anti-slip strip 23 increases the friction between the lifting support leg 21 and the desktop, ensuring stability during use. In order to avoid the anti-slip strip 23 from easily falling off due to the existing adhesive method, the anti-slip strip 23 in this paper is installed by snapping with the protruding ends 24.

[0036] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Technical aspects, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this utility model are all publicly known technologies.
