Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer keyboard manufacturing technology, specifically a cleaning device for computer keyboard production. Background Technology
[0002] The keyboard is one of the most commonly used and essential computer input devices. It allows users to input English letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other symbols into a computer. During the manufacturing process, keyboards need to be cleaned. Keyboard caps may have residual mold release agent, oil, or dust from the injection molding process. These impurities can affect subsequent surface treatment processes such as printing and spraying, resulting in blurred patterns and reduced adhesion. Therefore, workers need to use cleaning equipment to clean the keyboard caps.
[0003] Publication number CN215466627U discloses a cleaning device for mechanical keyboard caps. This device uses a water pump to inject cleaning fluid from a collection chamber into a storage chamber via a connecting pipe. A pressurized nozzle sprays the cleaning fluid onto the keycaps, and the continuous tumbling caused by the water flow improves the cleaning quality. The cleaning fluid flows back into the collection chamber through a filter plate for recycling, saving resources. However, this patent still has the following problems in practical use:
[0004] The device uses a water pump to inject cleaning fluid from the water collection chamber into the water storage chamber through a connecting pipe. A pressurized nozzle sprays the cleaning fluid onto the keycaps, and the water flow causes them to tumble continuously, improving the cleaning quality. The cleaning fluid then flows back into the water collection chamber through a filter plate for recycling. However, the device lacks a keycap tumbling function, making it difficult to clean the central area of the accumulated keycaps. This significantly reduces the cleaning effect and causes inconvenience for users.
[0005] A cleaning device for computer keyboard production is proposed to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for computer keyboard production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The current method involves a water pump injecting cleaning fluid from the water collection chamber into the water storage chamber through a connecting pipe, and a pressurized nozzle spraying the cleaning fluid onto the keycaps. Due to the continuous tumbling caused by the water flow, the cleaning fluid is continuously turned over, improving the cleaning quality. The cleaning fluid then flows back into the water collection chamber through a filter plate for recycling. However, this device does not have a keycap turning function, which makes it difficult to clean the central area of the accumulated keycaps, thus greatly reducing the cleaning effect of the keycaps.

An inclined filter screen is fixedly installed inside the housing, an inclined frame is embedded on one side of the housing, and a discharge port is opened at the bottom of the frame. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to one side of the housing, and an elliptical plate is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod near the inclined filter screen. A sprocket is fixedly installed on the outside of one end of the stirring rod and the rotating rod, and a chain is meshed between the sprockets. A motor is fixedly installed at one end of the stirring rod. A water tank is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the housing, and a mesh frame is provided on the inner top of the water tank. A water pump is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the housing, and a curved pipe is fixedly installed between the water pump, the housing, and the frame. A suction pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the water pump.
[0009] Preferably, an electric retractable rod is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the frame, and support plates are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame. Baffles are slidably connected between the interior of the support plates, and the top of the baffles fits against the bottom of the frame. The output end of the electric retractable rod is fixedly connected to the baffles, and a net is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the box.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing component includes an end cap fixedly installed on the top of the mesh frame, with an inlet inside the end cap and an insertion connection between the inside of the end cap and the top of the water tank. Limiting boxes are symmetrically fixedly installed inside both ends of the end cap, with insert rods slidably connected inside the limiting boxes. Push plates are fixedly installed outside the insert rods. A fixing tube is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the limiting box, with a pressing rod slidably connected to one end of the fixing tube and a fixed connection between one end of the pressing rod and the push plate. A contraction spring is provided inside the fixing tube. Slots are symmetrically opened on both sides of the top of the water tank, with one end of the insert rod inserted into the slot. Pull rings are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the end cap.
[0011] Preferably, the external locking and rotatable connection of the rotating rod is a limiting frame, and one side of the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the box.
[0012] Preferably, the motor is externally fixedly mounted with a support frame, and one side of the support frame is fixedly connected to the housing.
[0013] Preferably, a rubber pad is fitted onto the outside of one end of the elliptical plate.
[0014] Preferably, one end of the straw passes through the box and is fixedly connected to the box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A cleaning device for computer keyboard production is described, in detail below: The operator starts a water pump, using a suction tube to draw cleaning fluid from inside the box. The cleaning fluid then flows through a curved pipe into the frame, immersing the keyboard caps. Next, the operator starts a motor to rotate a stirring rod, which in turn rotates multiple sets of brush rollers. The brush bristles on the surface of the brush rollers stir and clean the keyboard caps. Through the cooperation of the sprocket and chain, a rotating rod rotates, which in turn rotates an elliptical plate. The rotation of the elliptical plate intermittently beats the inclined filter screen, resulting in intermittent vibration and screening of the keyboard caps. Finally, the slope of the top of the inclined filter screen guides the keyboard caps through an inclined frame into a mesh frame, thus... This system enables rapid cleaning of keyboard caps, effectively removing impurities from surface crevices and ensuring even cleaning. It avoids incomplete cleaning due to cap buildup. The system utilizes a combination of cleaning solution and water to wash the keyboard caps, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. By having workers pull two sets of levers that slide within the limiting box, the movement of the levers moves a push plate, which in turn moves two sets of compression levers within the fixed tube. This compression causes the spring to contract, allowing one end of the lever to engage with the slot, facilitating quick installation and removal of the end cover. This makes it easier for workers to clean and retrieve the keyboard caps inside the frame, greatly improving keyboard cap production efficiency.
[0016] 1. The process begins with staff starting a water pump and using a suction pipe to draw cleaning solution from inside the box. The solution then flows through a curved pipe into the frame, immersing the keyboard caps. Next, a motor is activated, rotating a stirring rod that in turn rotates multiple brush rollers. The brush bristles on these rollers agitate and clean the keyboard caps. The discharge port is then opened, causing the stirring rod to rotate a sprocket. This sprocket and chain work together to rotate a rotating rod, which in turn rotates an oval plate. The keyboard caps fall through the discharge port onto the top of an inclined filter. The rotation of the oval plate intermittently taps the filter, creating a vibrational screening effect. The top of the inclined filter then... The sloped design guides the keyboard caps into the mesh frame via an inclined frame. Meanwhile, clean water from the tank rinses the keyboard caps within the mesh frame, achieving a rapid and effective cleaning process. This effectively removes impurities from the surface crevices of the keyboard caps, ensuring even cleaning and preventing incomplete cleaning due to cap buildup. The combination of washing the keyboard caps with cleaning solution and rinsing with clean water significantly improves cleaning efficiency and provides convenience for operators. By activating the electric retractable rod, the baffle slides within the support plate, allowing for quick adjustment of the baffle's position. This facilitates opening and closing of the discharge port, enabling subsequent unloading of the keyboard caps and enhancing the product's practicality.
[0017] 2. The worker inserts the end cap into the top of the water tank, allowing the keyboard caps to be easily placed into the mesh frame through the inlet. Then, the worker pulls two sets of insertion rods, which slide inside the limiting box. The movement of the insertion rods moves the push plate, which in turn moves the two sets of extrusion rods, which slide inside the fixed tube. At this point, the compression spring is compressed and contracts. The worker then releases the insertion rod, and the spring's return property allows one end of the insertion rod to connect with the slot. This enables quick installation and removal of the end cap, facilitating the cleaning and removal of the keyboard caps inside the mesh frame, thus greatly improving the efficiency of keyboard cap production.

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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a cleaning device for computer keyboard production, including a housing 1, a sealing plate 101 hinged to one side of the top of the housing 1; a cleaning mechanism 2 is provided inside the housing 1, and a fixing component 3 is provided inside the cleaning mechanism 2.
[0026] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a frame 201 fixedly installed inside the housing 1, with a stirring rod 202 rotatably connected between the frame 201 and the housing 1. Brush rollers 203 are symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the stirring rod 202. An inclined filter screen 204 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and an inclined frame 205 is embedded on one side of the housing 1. A discharge port 206 is provided at the bottom of the frame 201.

The output end of the electric retractable rod 217 is fixedly connected to the baffle 219. A mesh 220 is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the housing 1. When the operator activates the electric retractable rod 217, the baffle 219 slides inside the support plate 218, allowing for quick adjustment of the baffle 219's position. This facilitates the opening and closing of the discharge port 206, making it convenient for subsequent unloading of keyboard caps and improving usability. The mesh 220 design further enhances the usability of the housing. It can filter impurities in the falling cleaning fluid, thereby effectively avoiding pipe blockage caused by the recycling of cleaning fluid and greatly improving the service life of the device. The external locking and rotating connection of the rotating rod 207 is a limit frame 221, and one side of the limit frame 221 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the box 1. Through the design of the limit frame 221, the rotation of the rotating rod 207 can be made more stable. The motor 211 is externally fixedly installed with a support frame 222, and one side of the support frame 222 is fixedly connected to the box 1. Through the design of the support frame 222, the operation of the motor 211 can be made more stable. One end of the elliptical plate 208 is externally fitted with a rubber pad 223. Through the design of the rubber pad 223, the rigid contact between the elliptical plate 208 and the inclined filter screen 204 can be effectively avoided.
[0028] The fixing component 3 includes an end cap 301 fixedly installed on the top of the mesh frame 213. An inlet 302 is provided inside the end cap 301, and the end cap 301 is inserted into the top of the water tank 212. Limiting boxes 303 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside both ends of the end cap 301. Insert rods 304 are slidably connected inside the limiting boxes 303, and push plates 305 are fixedly installed outside the insert rods 304.

The top of the end cover 301 is symmetrically fixedly connected with pull rings 310, which can realize the effect of quick installation and removal of the end cover 301. This makes it easier for workers to clean and remove the keyboard caps inside the mesh frame 213, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of keyboard caps. The design of the pull rings 310 makes it easier for workers to operate the end cover 301.
[0029] Working principle: Before using this cleaning device for computer keyboard production, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can function properly. Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the worker pours the keyboard caps into the frame 201. Then, the worker rotates the sealing plate 101 to close it with the housing 1. Next, the worker starts the water pump 214, using a suction tube 216 to draw the cleaning solution from inside the housing 1. The cleaning solution then flows through a curved pipe 215 into the frame 201, effectively soaking the keyboard caps. The worker then starts the motor 211, which drives the stirring rod 202 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring rod 202 drives the rotation of multiple sets of brush rollers 203, using the bristles on the surface of the brush rollers 203 to stir and clean the keyboard caps. At this point, the worker... The operator opens the discharge port 206. At this time, the rotation of the stirring rod 202 drives the rotation of the sprocket 209. Through the cooperation between the sprocket 209 and the chain 210, the rotating rod 207 rotates. The rotation of the rotating rod 207 drives the rotation of the elliptical plate 208. The keyboard caps fall through the discharge port 206 onto the top of the inclined filter screen 204. The rotation of the elliptical plate 208 intermittently taps the inclined filter screen 204, resulting in intermittent vibration and screening of the keyboard caps. The slope of the top of the inclined filter screen 204 then guides the keyboard caps through the inclined frame 205 into the mesh frame 21. In step 3, the clean water inside the water tank 212 rinses the keyboard caps in the mesh frame 213, achieving a rapid cleaning effect and effectively removing impurities from the surface crevices of the keyboard caps. This ensures even cleaning and prevents keyboard cap buildup that could lead to incomplete cleaning. The combination of brushing the keyboard caps with cleaning solution and rinsing them with clean water significantly improves cleaning efficiency and provides convenience for operators. The operator activates the electric retractable rod 217, causing the baffle 219 to slide within the support plate 218, thus achieving… The position of the baffle 219 can be quickly adjusted, making it easier for staff to open and close the discharge port 206, facilitating the unloading of the keyboard caps and improving its practicality. The design of the screen 220 can filter impurities in the falling cleaning fluid, effectively preventing pipe blockage caused by the recycling of cleaning fluid and greatly improving the service life of the device. The design of the limit frame 221 makes the rotation of the rotating rod 207 more stable, and the design of the support frame 222 makes the operation of the motor 211 more stable.
[0030] The operator inserts the end cap 301 into the top of the water tank 212, allowing the keyboard caps to be easily placed into the mesh frame 213 via the inlet 302. The operator then pulls two sets of insertion rods 304, which slide inside the limiting box 303. This movement of the insertion rods 304 causes the push plate 305 to move, which in turn causes two sets of pressing rods 307 to slide inside the fixing tube 306. At this point, the compression spring 308 is compressed and contracted. The operator then releases the insertion rods 304, and the spring 308's return property allows one end of the insertion rod 304 to engage with the slot 309. This enables quick installation and removal of the end cap 301, facilitating cleaning and removal of the keyboard caps inside the mesh frame 213. This significantly improves the efficiency of keyboard cap production. The pull ring 310 design further facilitates the operation of the end cap 301.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
