DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiment.

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 The utility model of convenient replacement key of specific implementation modular keyboard, including shell 1, circuit board module 2 and several keys 3, the circuit board module 2 is provided with several key positions 201 for fixing the key 3, the key position 201 is provided with the sensing module for cooperating with the key 3.

[0021] Further, the induction module is preferably a common Hall sensor or infrared sensor on the market, and the corresponding key 3 also needs to be arranged in pairs. When the Hall sensor is used as the induction module, the shaft core moving up and down in the key 3 needs to be arranged with a magnet that can be inducted by the Hall sensor, so that the key 3 can output a corresponding signal during pressing. When the infrared sensor is used as the induction module, the shaft core moving up and down in the key 3 needs to pass through the induction area of the infrared sensor, thereby outputting a signal to the circuit board module 2. The keyboard using the Hall sensor as the induction module is a common magnetic shaft keyboard on the market, and the keyboard using the infrared sensor as the induction module is a common light shaft keyboard on the market. The advantages of the magnetic shaft keyboard and the light shaft keyboard are that the keys 3 thereon do not form a circuit connection with the circuit board module 2, and only trigger functions through a magnetic field or light, and the two structures can generally realize the function of hot plugging.

[0022] In the embodiment, two adjacent key positions 201 at the upper right corner of the circuit board module 2 are respectively provided with sockets 4, and one side of the key position 201 is provided with a positioning groove for accommodating the socket 4. One rotary knob switch 6 is installed in the two sockets 4 through a fixed clamping seat 5. The rotary knob switch 6 is plug-in installed on the socket 4, and the fixed clamping seat 5 is clamped and fixed on the upper end of the shell 1.

[0023] In the embodiment, the keyboard can replace the rotary knob switch 6 with two conventional keys 3 or other display screen modules.

[0024] Further, the sockets 4 can be arranged in all key positions 201, or only one socket 4 can be arranged in one key position 201. The specific needs can be adjusted according to user needs. When multiple sockets 4 need to be arranged, the multiple sockets 4 are selectively arranged in the key positions 201 of one region, so as to improve the user experience.

[0025] Further, the upper end of the shell 1 is provided with a light-transmitting piece 7 connected with the circuit board module 2. The shell 1 includes a top cover 1A and a base 1B. The upper end of the top cover 1A is detachably provided with a covering piece 8. The light-transmitting piece 7 is composed of a positioning part 701 and a light guide part 702 penetrating the positioning part 701. The upper end of the light guide part 702 penetrates the top cover 1A and is connected with the outside, and the other end is connected with the circuit board module 2. In actual application, the shape of the light guide part 702 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve different light effects. After adjusting the shape of the light guide part 702, only the appropriate covering piece 8 needs to be replaced, which greatly reduces the production cost of the manufacturer and meets the user's demand for the functional diversification of the keyboard keys 3.

[0026] In practical application, the shape of the light-transmitting piece 7 is usually customized according to the LOGO designed by the customer, and the modularized disassembly and assembly mode is adopted, so that the production cost of the keyboard is effectively reduced, and the production manufacturer and the user can easily replace the light-transmitting piece 7 with different LOGO shapes.

[0027] The utility model discloses on the basis that the key position 201 remains the sensing module, additionally add socket 4 structure, make part key 3 on keyboard can be convenient for other module or key 3 switch replacement, satisfy the demand of user to keyboard key 3 function diversification, improve the flexibility and playability of keyboard greatly, in addition, user can also according to own hobby and demand, select to occupy multiple key position 201, with the arrangement of other module or key 3 switch of larger size realizes individualization customization. In addition, the detachable cover 8 and the light-transmitting piece 7 on the shell 1 are designed, which not only facilitates the user to clean and replace, but also enhances the appearance and practicality of the keyboard.

[0028] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form. Although the utility model discloses the above preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the utility model. Any skilled person in the art can make some changes or modifications to the disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the utility model. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment within the scope of the utility model are all within the scope of the utility model.
