Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: This example aims to address the issue that most existing keyboard drawers are simply pulled out, making angle adjustment impossible to suit different user habits. This can lead to excessive bending or extension of the wrist while using the keyboard, resulting in an unnatural wrist posture. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 A keyboard drawer for a computer keyboard includes a computer body 110, a storage frame 111, and a drawer body 112. The storage frame 111 is installed at the bottom of the computer body 110, and the drawer body 112 is slidably installed in the storage frame 111. A support rod 113 is installed on the rear side of the drawer body 112, and a slider 114 is installed on the support rod 113. A groove 115 corresponding to the slider 114 is opened in the storage frame 111, and the slider 114 is slidably inserted into the groove 115. An adjustment component 120 for adjusting the angle is provided between the support rod 113 and the slider 114.

[0023] The adjustment assembly 120 includes an adjustment wheel 122 mounted on the side of the support rod 113, an adjustment groove 123 corresponding to the adjustment wheel 122 on the bottom of the slider 114, a lever adjustment ball 124 mounted on the adjustment wheel 122, and a corresponding slot 125 in the adjustment groove 123, which engages with the adjustment ball 124. The adjustment ball 124 is hemispherical, and the slot 125 communicates with the adjustment groove 123. A damping ring 126, which is a rubber ring, is installed in the adjustment groove 123.

[0024] The storage frame 111 has a groove 127 at its bottom, and an adjusting plate 128 is hinged within the groove 127, contacting the bottom of the drawer body 112. The storage frame 111 has a slot 130 inside, and a screw 131 is installed within the slot 130. The adjusting plate 128 has a threaded hole 132 corresponding to the screw 131, and the screw 131 is threaded into the threaded hole 132. The storage frame 111 has a control slot 133 on its outside, communicating with the slot 130. A control button 134 for controlling the screw 131 is installed at the top of the screw 131, and the control button 134 is inserted into the control slot 133.

[0025] The user pulls the drawer body 112 out of the storage box 111 for angle adjustment. By pressing down on the drawer body 112, the user rotates the adjusting wheel 122, causing the adjusting ball 124 to slide within the adjusting groove 123. Since the adjusting ball 124 is hemispherical and engages with the slot 125, rotating the adjusting wheel 122 causes it to slide within the slot 125, thus changing the angle of the support rod 113. The rotation of the adjusting wheel 122 changes the angle of the support rod 113, thereby altering the tilt angle of the drawer body 112. The user can adjust the angle of the drawer body 112 according to their preferences, placing their wrist in a more natural position. Once the adjusting ball 124 has slid to the desired position, the damping ring 126 secures it within the slot 125, preventing the angle of the drawer body 112 from changing during sliding.

[0026] Then, the adjustment plate 128 will change its angle synchronously with the drawer body 112. Then, by toggling the control knob 134, the control screw 131 will be threaded into the threaded hole 132 to further fix the angle.

[0027] The user lifts the drawer body 112 upwards, releasing the locking position of the adjusting ball 124 and the slot 125. Due to the action of the damping ring 126, the adjusting ball 124 will slowly release, and the user can press the drawer body 112 again to rotate the adjusting wheel 122 and readjust the angle. By pressing the drawer body 112, the user rotates the adjusting wheel 122, causing the adjusting ball 124 to slide and adjust to a new angle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the design of the adjusting wheel 122, control knob 134, and screw 131 allows users to easily adjust the angle without complicated operations. The design of the damping ring 126 and the slot 125 ensures the stability of the adjustment process and prevents the angle of the drawer body 112 from changing during use. The cooperation between the screw 131 and the threaded hole 132, as well as the fixing effect of the damping ring 126, ensures locking after angle adjustment and prevents accidental operation.

[0029] Example 2 aims to address the issue that the tilt angle of the drawer body 112 may change under conditions of heavy keyboard or significant user pressure. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 Two sets of adjustment components 120 are provided, arranged parallel to each other on the rear side of the drawer body 112. A limit block 135 for restricting the keyboard is installed on the drawer body 112, the length of which corresponds to the length of the drawer body 112. Installing the limit block 135 on the drawer body 112, with its length corresponding to the length of the drawer body 112, effectively limits the range of keyboard movement. The limit block 135 prevents the keyboard from sliding within the drawer body 112, especially after angle adjustment, ensuring the keyboard always remains in the correct position and preventing accidental keystrokes or misplaced input caused by keyboard displacement.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting the adjustment components 120 into two sets, and arranging the two sets in parallel on the rear side of the drawer body 112, stronger support and stability can be provided. The two sets of adjustment components 120 can share the weight of the drawer body 112 and the pressure applied by the user, ensuring the stability of the angle adjustment and preventing the drawer body 112 from tilting during use.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
