Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of keycap technology, specifically relating to a sweat-proof keycap for mechanical keyboards. Background Technology

[0002] A keycap is a small, cap-shaped plastic component that clips onto the top of a keyboard key. It is marked with the function of the corresponding key or numbers and letters. Keycaps are an important part of mechanical keyboards, directly affecting the keyboard's feel, lifespan, and appearance. The main function of keycaps is to protect the keyboard's circuit board from dust and dirt, while providing a comfortable typing experience. Keycaps are typically made of different materials, such as ABS and PBT, which directly affect their durability, feel, and typing sound.

[0003] Mechanical keyboards are mostly used for gaming and esports, where players typically type on the keycaps at a high frequency during competition. Existing plastic keycaps are uncomfortable, and prolonged typing can cause sweaty fingers, further affecting player skill and the gaming experience. Therefore, this invention proposes a sweat-resistant keycap for mechanical keyboards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a sweat-proof keycap for mechanical keyboards, which aims to solve the problems of poor comfort and lack of sweat protection of existing keycaps.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0006] A sweat-resistant keycap for a mechanical keyboard includes a light-transmitting cap body and a leather comfort layer. The light-transmitting cap body has a connecting post inside, and is connected to the mechanical keyboard switch via the connecting post. A groove is formed on the upper side of the light-transmitting cap body, and character protrusions are formed on the groove. The leather comfort layer is fixedly installed in the groove, and the leather comfort layer is hollowed out corresponding to the positions of the character protrusions. A light-blocking coating is applied to the outer side of the light-transmitting cap body, while the character protrusions are not coated with a light-blocking coating.

[0007] Furthermore, the leather comfort layer is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cap body by adhesive.

[0008] Furthermore, the light-transmitting cap body is also equipped with a rectangular fixing frame. The fixing frame is connected to the light-transmitting cap body by snap-fit. The outer edge of the leather comfort layer is provided with a positioning band with several through holes. The light-transmitting cap body is provided with positioning holes at the corresponding positions of the through holes. The lower side of the fixing frame is fixedly connected with positioning pins at the corresponding positions of the through holes. One positioning pin corresponds to one positioning hole, and one positioning hole corresponds to one through hole.

[0009] This structural design allows the damaged leather comfort layer to be removed without damaging the backlit keycaps when it is damaged and needs to be replaced or recycled, saving resources and facilitating subsequent replacements.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting column includes a column body and an end head that is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cap body. The upper end of the column body is slidably inserted into the end head. Limiting protrusions are slidably connected to both sides of the upper end of the column body. A spring is provided between the limiting protrusions and the column body. Limiting holes that cooperate with the limiting protrusions are provided on both sides of the end head.

[0011] This structural design allows for quick replacement of keycaps if they wear out or break during keycap insertion or removal, saving resources and not affecting keycap usage at all.

[0012] Furthermore, the light-blocking coating on the front side of the light-transmitting cap has blank spaces for characters.

[0013] This structural design makes it easy for users to identify the buttons.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention relates to sweat-resistant keycaps for mechanical keyboards, featuring a comfortable leather layer for enhanced comfort and sweat resistance. It also includes a retaining frame and replaceable posts, further extending the keycaps' lifespan and conserving resources. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a sweat-proof keycap for a mechanical keyboard, including a light-transmitting cap body 1 and a leather comfort layer 2. A connecting post 3 is fixedly connected inside the light-transmitting cap body 1, and the cap body 1 is connected to the mechanical keyboard's switches via the connecting post 3. A groove is formed on the upper side of the light-transmitting cap body 1, and raised characters are provided on the groove. The leather comfort layer 2 is fixedly installed in the groove, and the position of the raised characters on the leather comfort layer 2 is hollowed out. A light-blocking coating is applied to the outer side of the light-transmitting cap body 1, while the surface of the raised characters is not coated with a light-blocking coating. The light-blocking coating on the front side of the light-transmitting cap body 1 has blank spaces for the characters. In this embodiment, the leather comfort layer 2 is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cap body 1 by adhesive.

[0024] The process of using the sweat-resistant keycaps in this embodiment is the same as that of using existing mechanical keyboard keycaps.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a sweat-proof keycap for a mechanical keyboard, including a light-transmitting cap body 1 and a leather comfort layer 2. A connecting post 3 is fixedly connected inside the light-transmitting cap body 1, and the light-transmitting cap body 1 is connected to the mechanical keyboard switch through the connecting post 3. A groove is opened on the upper side of the light-transmitting cap body 1, and character protrusions are provided on the groove. The leather comfort layer 2 is fixedly installed in the groove, and the leather comfort layer 2 is hollowed out corresponding to the position of the character protrusions. The outer side of the light-transmitting cap body 1 is coated with a light-blocking coating, and the surface of the character protrusions is not coated with a light-blocking coating. The light-blocking coating on the front side of the light-transmitting cap body 1 is provided with character blank spaces.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the light-transmitting cap body 1 is also equipped with a rectangular fixing frame 4. The fixing frame 4 is connected to the light-transmitting cap body 1 by snap-fit. The outer edge of the leather comfort layer 2 is provided with a positioning strip, and several through holes are opened on the positioning strip. The light-transmitting cap body 1 is provided with a positioning hole at the position corresponding to the through hole. The lower side of the fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected with a positioning pin at the position corresponding to the through hole. One positioning pin corresponds to one positioning hole, and one positioning hole corresponds to one through hole.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting post 3 includes a post body 5 and an end head 6 fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cap body 1. The upper end of the post body 5 is slidably inserted into the end head 6. Limiting protrusions are slidably connected to both sides of the upper end of the post body 5. A spring is provided between the limiting protrusions and the post body 5. Limiting holes that cooperate with the limiting protrusions are provided on both sides of the end head 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the leather comfort layer 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced or recycled, the fixing frame 4 can be opened to remove the damaged leather comfort layer 2 without damaging the translucent keycap, saving resources and facilitating subsequent replacement. When the keycap pillar 5 is worn or cracked, the limiting protrusions on both sides can be pressed with a wire or corresponding auxiliary tool to release the fixing effect of the limiting protrusions on the pillar 5, after which the pillar 5 can be quickly replaced, saving resources and not affecting the use of the keycap at all.
