Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buttons, specifically a keyboard button structure. Background Technology

[0002] Keyboard keys are the basic components of a computer input device, used to input characters, numbers, symbols, and control commands. Each key typically consists of a keycap and an internal connecting structure. Users press the keycap to trigger an internal mechanical or electronic switch, sending a corresponding input signal to the computer. Keyboard keys have diverse functions, including inputting letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, as well as shortcut keys for controlling computer operations, making them an important tool for user interaction with the computer.

[0003] Existing key structures have the following drawbacks: Due to the complexity of the internal mechanical structure of the keys, including springs, contacts, and other components, these components require a certain amount of time to transmit and respond to the striking force when the keycap is struck, resulting in a relatively slow key response speed. Furthermore, after prolonged use, wear and tear on the mechanical components can further reduce the key response speed. Existing key structures often rely on simple fixing methods, such as screws, when installed onto the keyboard base. However, these fixing methods may not be secure enough in certain situations, especially during frequent typing and use, where the key structure may wobble or detach due to vibration and wear. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides a keyboard key structure that can effectively solve the technical problems of slow response speed of existing key structures and easy shaking and falling off when the key structure is installed on the keyboard base.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a keyboard key structure, including keycaps and connectors, wherein the keycaps are movably disposed at one end of the connector, and the bottom of the keycaps is provided with an open mounting cavity. The side of the connector is recessed inward to form two positioning grooves, and a positioning plate is disposed inside the positioning grooves. One end of the positioning plate extends outward to form a positioning part. Several blocking plates are disposed on the edge of the connector. A movable pressing rod is disposed at one end of the connector. One end of the pressing rod extends into the interior of the mounting cavity, and the other end of the pressing rod passes through the connector and extends to the outside of the connector. When the keycap is pressed, the keycap causes the pressing rod to move. Two insert rods are disposed at the bottom of the connector, and the two insert rods are symmetrically arranged between each other. Two connecting rods are disposed at the bottom of the connector, and the two connecting rods are symmetrically arranged between each other.

[0006] Furthermore, a limiting rod is provided at the bottom of the connector, and the length of the limiting rod is less than the length of the insertion rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom perimeter of the connector is provided with several semi-circular contact points, which are symmetrically arranged between adjacent contact points.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector has two locking plates on its side, which are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] Furthermore, the keycap has a rough surface and is made of plastic.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a keyboard key structure in which one end of a pressing rod extends into the mounting cavity and the other end extends to the outside through a connector, allowing the user to smoothly trigger the pressing rod when pressing the keycap, thereby responding to the keyboard input commands and improving the keyboard's response speed and sensitivity. In addition, by setting up a positioning groove, positioning part, blocking plate, pressing rod, and other structures, as well as a plug rod and connecting rod, additional fixing and support are provided for the keyboard key structure, which helps to firmly install the key structure onto the keyboard base, preventing shaking or falling off during use, and further improving the reliability of the keyboard.

[0017] 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.

[0018] The following is combined Figures 1-4 A detailed description of this utility model is provided below:

[0019] A keyboard key structure includes a keycap 1 and a connector 2. The keycap 1 is movably disposed at one end of the connector 2. The bottom of the keycap 1 has an open mounting cavity 4. The side of the connector 2 is recessed inward to form two positioning grooves 3. A positioning plate 5 is disposed inside the positioning grooves 3. One end of the positioning plate 5 extends outward to form a positioning part 6. Several blocking plates 8 are disposed on the edge of the connector 2. A movable pressing rod 11 is disposed at one end of the connector 2. One end of the pressing rod 11 extends into the mounting cavity 4, and the other end of the pressing rod 11 passes through the connector 2 and extends to the outside of the connector 2. When the keycap 1 is pressed, the keycap 1 causes the pressing rod 11 to move. Two insert rods 9 are disposed at the bottom of the connector 2, and the two insert rods 9 are symmetrically arranged. Two connecting rods 10 are disposed at the bottom of the connector 2, and the two connecting rods 10 are symmetrically arranged. A limiting rod 12 is provided at the bottom, the length of which is less than the length of the insertion rod 9. Several semi-circular contact points 13 are provided around the bottom perimeter of the connector 2, and adjacent contact points 13 are symmetrically arranged. Two locking plates 7 are provided on the side of the connector 2, and the two locking plates 7 are symmetrically arranged. The surface of the keycap 1 is rough and it is made of plastic. The limiting rod 12, which is shorter than the insertion rod 9, is provided at the bottom of the connector 2 to limit excessive movement of the key structure in certain directions, thereby protecting the electronic components inside the keyboard from damage. Several semi-circular contact points 13 are provided around the bottom perimeter of the connector 2 to contact the corresponding contact points 13 on the keyboard base. The rough surface design of the keycap 1 increases the friction between the user's fingers and the keycap 1, allowing the user to control the keys more accurately when typing quickly, reducing the possibility of accidental touches and preventing slippage.

[0020] In this embodiment, a keyboard key structure is provided, with one end of the pressing lever 11 extending into the mounting cavity 4 and the other end extending to the outside through the connector 2. This allows the user to smoothly trigger the pressing lever 11 when pressing the keycap 1, thereby responding to the keyboard input command and improving the keyboard's response speed and sensitivity. In addition, by setting the positioning groove 3, positioning part 6, blocking plate 8, and pressing lever 11, as well as the insertion rod 9 and connecting rod 10, the keyboard key structure is provided with additional fixation and support, which helps to firmly install the key structure onto the keyboard base, preventing shaking or falling off during use, and further improving the keyboard's reliability.

[0021] When the key structure is installed on the keyboard base, the bottom of the pressing lever 11 is connected to the spring on the keyboard base. When the keycap 1 is pressed, the pressing lever 11 compresses the spring, thereby responding to the keyboard input command. When the keycap 1 is released, the spring on the keyboard base returns to its original state, causing the pressing lever 11 to release its elasticity and the keycap 1 to return to its original shape.
