Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of keycap technology, specifically relating to a decompression gyroscope keycap. Background Technology

[0002] A keyboard is a tool used to send instructions and input data to a device. It can also be defined as a set of function keys arranged in a specific layout for controlling machines or electronic devices, such as typewriters or computers. Traditionally, keyboard operation relies on key presses, each typically having a single function: pressing a key executes the corresponding character input or command. However, modern users have higher expectations for interactive experiences. Traditional keyboard designs, due to the limitations of their key functions—limited to keystroke input and lacking additional features—may not fully meet users' needs for fun and stress relief. This one-way and fixed functional pattern may make the user experience monotonous and tedious, failing to provide richer interactive or stress-relieving methods. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a decompression gyroscope keycap to solve the technical problem that existing keyboard keys have limited functionality and lack fun.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A decompression gyroscope keycap includes a gyroscope body and a keycap body. The bottom of the keycap body is provided with a vertical sleeve with a cross-shaped inner hole. The keycap body can be installed on a keyboard through the vertical sleeve. The top of the keycap body is provided with a circular groove, and a spindle is fixed at the center of the circular groove. A bearing is installed at the upper end of the spindle. A mounting sleeve is provided at the center of the gyroscope body and is installed on the outer ring of the bearing.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner ring of the bearing is mounted on the upper end of the spindle by screws.

[0007] Furthermore, the gyroscope body has three impellers, which are evenly arranged around the axis of the mounting sleeve.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention mainly consists of a gyroscope, a keycap body, a spindle, and a bearing. The gyroscope includes three evenly arranged impellers that rotate around the central mounting sleeve axis. The keycap body, similar to a traditional keycap, covers the keyboard switches and is fixed to the keyboard via a vertical sleeve at the bottom. The vertical sleeve has a cross-shaped inner hole, allowing the keycap body to adapt to different types of keyboard switches. The keycap body is mounted on specific keys on the keyboard via the vertical sleeve at its bottom, ensuring stability and normal key function. The central mounting sleeve of the gyroscope is mounted on the outer ring of the bearing at the top of the spindle, allowing it to rotate freely without affecting key operation. When users want to relax or distract themselves, they can simply flick the gyroscope with their fingers to make it spin, which not only relieves stress but also serves as a short break. The special design increases the fun of using the keyboard and provides readily available tools to help users relax. Compared to traditional keyboards, the richer interactive features help improve user satisfaction and work efficiency, making it particularly suitable for professionals who type for long periods or need to use the keyboard frequently, such as programmers and writers. This invention not only retains the basic input function of buttons, but also provides an additional way to decompress and entertain. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a specific embodiment of the decompression gyroscope keycap provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0017] A decompression gyroscope keycap includes a gyroscope body 1 and a keycap body 2. The bottom of the keycap body 2 is provided with a vertical sleeve 3, which has a cross-shaped inner hole 4. The keycap body 2 can be installed on a keyboard through the vertical sleeve 3. The top of the keycap body 2 is provided with a circular groove 5, and a spindle 6 is fixed at the center of the circular groove 5. A bearing 7 is installed at the upper end of the spindle 6, and the inner ring of the bearing 7 is installed at the upper end of the spindle 6 by a screw 8. A mounting sleeve 9 is provided at the center of the gyroscope body 1, and the mounting sleeve 9 is installed on the outer ring of the bearing 7.

[0018] The gyroscope body 1 has three impellers 10, which are evenly arranged around the axis of the mounting sleeve 9.

[0019] In this embodiment, the decompression gyroscope keycap is installed on a key of the keyboard via a vertical sleeve 3. When the user needs to relax and rest, they can flick the gyroscope body 1 to make it rotate, which is fun and achieves the purpose of decompression.

[0020] It should be noted that, in this document, terms such as “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.
