Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of keyboard technology, specifically to a detachable metal keyboard. Background Technology

[0002] A keyboard, as a peripheral electronic input device, is composed of different key technologies and electronic switch systems. Its main function is to input data, and it can also be used in a computer system to operate other machines or devices.

[0003] Gasket keyboards are a type of mechanical keyboard design inspired by gasket-mounted keyboards. Their key feature is the use of rubber pads between the keyboard's base and the keyboard plate to provide a floating and vibration-damping effect. These rubber pads are typically located around the perimeter of the keyboard and can be divided into several small areas. This design allows the keyboard to create an independent damping space around each key, providing a more balanced and stable typing experience. Additionally, the rubber pads can adjust the keyboard's sensitivity and rebound force.

[0004] With societal development, more and more young people are pursuing personalization and customization. Consequently, various customization requirements need to be applied to keyboards in consumer electronics products. To meet the market's demand for customization, keyboard materials are becoming increasingly diversified and customizable. Currently, most keyboard side frames on the market are made of fixed materials and are mostly one-piece molded plastic structures. One-piece molded plastic structures cannot be replaced, and the overall structural strength of the keyboard is relatively low, resulting in a poor tactile experience. Therefore, this invention proposes a detachable metal keyboard to improve the overall structural strength of the keyboard, enhance the user experience, and utilize the detachable structure to meet customization requirements.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 The specific implementation of the detachable metal keyboard includes a metal frame 1, a circuit board module 2 and a number of keys 3 disposed on the circuit board module 2. The outer edge of the circuit board module 2 is suspended and installed in the metal frame 1 through a number of vibration damping structures.

[0023] Furthermore, the vibration damping structure includes multiple silicone damping elements 4 and an integrally formed connecting portion 201 protruding from the outer edge of the circuit board module 2. The multiple damping elements 4 are evenly distributed within the guide rail 101 or slot 102 of the metal frame 1. The connecting portion 201 is connected to the damping elements 4, and the upper and lower ends of the damping elements 4 abut against the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 101 or slot 102, respectively. The damping pad provides a buffering and vibration damping effect for the circuit board module 2, enabling the buttons 3 on the circuit board module 2 to achieve a bouncy pressing effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the vibration damping component 4 comprises a vibration damping body 401 for supporting the connecting portion 201 and a positioning protrusion 402 integrally formed on the upper end of the vibration damping body 401. The positioning protrusion 402 adopts a T-shaped design, and the fitting of the positioning protrusion 402 with the connecting portion 201 helps to reduce the difficulty of disassembly. In addition, by using the vibration damping body 401 to directly support the connecting portion 201, the contact area between the connecting portion 201 and the vibration damping component 4 is increased, which greatly improves the stability of the button 3 when pressed.

[0025] Furthermore, a protective base plate 5 surrounding the bottom of the circuit board module 2 is fitted and installed at the lower end of the metal frame 1. The center of the protective base plate 5 is recessed downward, forming a receiving cavity between the protective base plate 5 and the circuit board module 2.

[0026] Furthermore, a silicone pad 6 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity to support the circuit board module 2. The combined design of the silicone pad 6 and the vibration damping component 4 effectively reduces the impact and noise when pressing the key 3, providing a smoother and quieter keystroke experience. At the same time, the vibration damping structure can also provide good support and protection for the circuit board module 2, preventing it from being damaged during use.

[0027] In this embodiment, the metal frame 1 includes two main frame bodies 103 arranged in parallel opposite directions and two sub-frame bodies 104 respectively disposed at both ends of the main frame bodies 103.

Guide rails 101 are provided through the inner walls of the two main frame bodies 103, and slots 102 are provided on the inner walls of the two sub-frame bodies 104. In practical applications, the structural design of the guide rails 101 not only provides stable support for the vibration damping structure but also improves the efficiency of keyboard assembly and disassembly. The metal frame 1 is preferably made of aluminum alloy.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the sub-frame 104 is provided with an inclined surface, so that the keyboard and the external placement surface can form an angle suitable for typing, thereby improving the comfort of typing with both hands and enhancing the user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, a sound-absorbing layer 7 is provided between the silicone pad 6 and the circuit board module 2 to reduce the noise of the button 3 being pressed.

[0030] Furthermore, a lifting ribbon 9 is detachably installed on one side of the metal frame 1 via a connector 8. The lifting ribbon 9 provides users with a convenient way to carry and move it. At the same time, the lifting ribbon 9 is installed using the connector 8, which allows users to disassemble or replace the lifting ribbon 9 with other lifting ribbons 9 of different colors, shapes and lengths according to different needs.

[0031] This invention utilizes a metal frame 1, significantly enhancing the overall structural strength of the keyboard and offering superior durability and stability compared to traditional plastic structures. Simultaneously, the metal frame 1 design provides users with a superior tactile experience, increasing user comfort. Furthermore, the detachable screw design and vibration-damping structure of the metal frame 1 facilitate disassembly and reassembly of the metal keyboard, meeting market demands for customization. This design also streamlines keyboard maintenance and cleaning, extending its lifespan.
