Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer input device technology, and in particular to a combined lightbox structure for a mechanical keyboard. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for personalized computer peripherals, backlit keyboards have become increasingly popular due to their ability to create unique visual effects through lighting. Currently, most backlit keyboards use a full-size backlight enclosure to cover the back of the keyboard, with customizable appearance achieved through detachable side panels or light covers. However, existing designs have the following shortcomings:

[0003] Glare from lighting: The light source of the light box often shines directly towards the user or to the side, which can easily cause glare when looking directly at the LED beads, and can easily cause visual fatigue after prolonged use;

[0004] Complex structure: Full-size light boxes require multiple screws or clips for fixing, and the operation is cumbersome when disassembling and replacing the lampshade / side panel;

[0005] Customization limitations: Most existing light boxes are one-piece designs, which can only replace the entire lampshade or side panel, and cannot achieve personalized decoration of parts (such as half areas);

[0006] Low assembly efficiency: Full-size light boxes require additional fixing structures (such as positioning clips and multiple sets of connection points), which increases the difficulty of production and assembly. To address this, we propose a mechanical keyboard-based combined light box structure. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined lightbox structure for mechanical keyboards, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A combined lightbox structure for a mechanical keyboard includes a keyboard body, a lightbox mounting slot at the rear of the keyboard body, a light guide opening on the lower surface of the lightbox mounting slot, a light guide plate for guiding light being fitted into the light guide opening, an LED light board being installed below the light guide plate, ferromagnetic components being embedded in the inner sides of both ends of the bottom of the lightbox mounting slot, and a locking block being installed on both sides of the lightbox mounting slot. A lightbox housing is embedded in the lightbox mounting slot.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the light guide plate is a smooth surface.

[0011] Preferably, the light box body further includes a replaceable light box, slots at both ends of the replaceable light box for being snapped into the snap-in block, and magnets that match the ferromagnetic parts to attract and fix the replaceable light box.

[0012] Preferably, the keyboard body has a control circuit board inside, and the LED light board is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0013] Preferably, the light box body is inserted into the light box mounting slot by being snapped into the snap-fit ​​block via a slot, and the light box body is fixed by magnets on both sides attracting ferromagnetic parts on both sides below the light box mounting slot.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the magnetic bottom-lit keyboard effectively solves the problems of glaring lighting, inconvenient replacement, limited customization, and complex assembly in the prior art through its lightbox structure, bottom-up lighting, and simplified magnetic connection design. It combines practicality and personalization and is suitable for various scenarios such as gaming and office work. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, a combined lightbox structure for a mechanical keyboard includes a keyboard body 1, a lightbox mounting groove 2 at the rear of the keyboard body 1, a light guide 4 on the lower surface of the lightbox mounting groove 2, a light guide plate 5 for guiding light is embedded in the light guide 4, an LED light board 7 is installed below the light guide plate 5, ferromagnetic parts 6 are embedded on the inner sides of both ends of the bottom of the lightbox mounting groove 2, and a locking block 3 is installed on both sides of the lightbox mounting groove 2. A lightbox housing 8 is embedded in the lightbox mounting groove 2.

[0025] The top surface of the light guide plate 5 is a smooth surface;

[0026] Specifically, the top surface of the light guide plate 5 is designed to be smooth to evenly diffuse light and prevent light from shining directly into the user's eyes.

[0027] The light box body 8 also includes a replaceable light box 81, slots 82 at both ends of the replaceable light box 81 for being snapped into the snap-in block 3, and magnets 83 that match the ferromagnetic parts 6 to attract and fix the replaceable light box 81.

[0028] Specifically, during installation, simply align the slots 82 at both ends of the replaceable lightbox 81 with the insert blocks 3 in the lightbox mounting slot 2 and insert them. After insertion, the magnet 83 can be attracted and fixed to the ferromagnetic part 6 at the bottom of the lightbox mounting slot 2. Conversely, if you need to replace the lightbox body 8 with other colors or patterns, you only need to manually push the replaceable lightbox 81 upward to complete the disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient. This magnetic bottom-lit lightbox keyboard features a lightbox structure, bottom-up lighting, and a simplified magnetic connection design.

[0029] The keyboard body 1 has a control circuit board inside, and the LED light board 7 is electrically connected to the control circuit board;

[0030] Specifically, after connection, users can switch lighting modes (such as constant light, breathing light, and gradient light) via shortcut keys on the keyboard itself, or customize lighting effects through a dedicated computer driver to further enhance the personalized experience.

[0031] The light box body 8 is inserted into the light box mounting slot 2 by being snapped into the snap-fit ​​block 3 through the slot 82. The light box body 8 is fixed by the magnets 83 on both sides adsorbing the ferromagnetic parts 6 on both sides below the light box mounting slot 2.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
