[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-11 This utility model provides a technical solution: a Type-C interface-connected split keyboard, including a left keyboard 1 and a right keyboard 2. Both the left keyboard 1 and the right keyboard 2 include an MCU chip 3, the model of which is RP2040. The MCU chip 3 controls the entire system. The connection end of the MCU chip 3 is connected to an LED module 4, a communication module 5, a key module 6, a Bluetooth module 7, and a memory module 12. The MCU chip 3 communicates via I... 2 The C protocol is connected to the Bluetooth module 7. The communication module 5 is connected to the MCU chip 3 through a 3.3V serial port. The communication module 5 is also connected to the Type-C port through a 5V serial port. The communication module 5 is connected to the output terminal of the MCU chip 3, enabling the MCU chip 3 to output through the communication module 5. The input terminal of the MCU chip 3 is connected to the battery module 10. The battery module 10 is connected to the power chip 11 and the charging management module 9. The charging management module 9 is model CN3162, and the power chip 11 is model AMS1117. The input terminal of the power chip 11 is connected to the USB circuit protection module 8.

[0030] The USB circuit protection module 8 includes a USB signal protection circuit and a USB power protection circuit. The USB signal protection circuit is located between the MCU chip 3 and the power input, and the USB power protection circuit is located between the power chip 11 and the power input. The model of the USB signal protection circuit is TPD4E05U06DQAR. The USB signal protection circuit can protect the electrical signals transmitted by the USB interface, and the USB power protection circuit can protect the power chip 11 when the power input circuit is 5V.

[0031] The memory module 12 includes a data storage chip, model number W25Q128JVSIQ, which is capable of storing data for controlling the lights and keyboard.

[0032] When connected directly to a computer via the Type-C interface, the input 5V voltage passes through simple filtering and protection devices before entering the CN3162 charging management module 9. The charging management module 9 controls the charging and discharging of the battery module 10. Two LEDs in the charging management module 9 indicate the charging status, making it easy to determine the keyboard's charging progress. When there is no external power input, the battery begins to discharge. After passing through the MD5133 voltage regulator chip, the battery outputs 3.3V to power the entire keyboard circuitry. Simultaneously, the 5V voltage entering the circuit to charge the battery also powers the entire keyboard circuitry. When the 5V power input circuit first passes through a USB power protection circuit, it reaches the AMS1117 power chip 11. The power voltage processed by the power chip 11 is then adjusted from 5V to 1.3V. The V is converted to 3.3V and output to MCU chip 3 to meet the voltage requirements for normal operation of MCU chip 3. There is also a TPD4E05U06DQAR chip between the power input and MCU chip 3 to protect the USB signal in the circuit and ensure the normal connection between MCU and external circuit. In the whole circuit, the 5V power supply also needs to directly power the lamp module 4. At the same time, the MCU chip 3 controls the lighting mode and adjusts various lighting modes. The MCU chip 3 is connected to an external W25Q128JVSIQ data storage chip for storing data. The MCU chip 3 can control the function of the button module 6. The MCU chip 3 stores the content information corresponding to the button with different position numbers. The keyboard input function can be realized through the linkage between button module 6 and MCU chip 3.

[0033] This utility model offers both Bluetooth and wired connection options. The MCU chip 3 connects via I... 2 The Type-C protocol connects to the Bluetooth module 7, both powered by 3.3V. When an external power source is available, the MCU prioritizes the wired connection, and the Bluetooth module 7 does not operate. When no external power source is available, the MCU will activate the Bluetooth module 7. This application changes the connection method with other devices from wired to Bluetooth. When the two separate left keyboards 1 and right keyboards 2 are connected via the Type-C interface, the 3.3V serial port voltage output from the MCU will be converted to 5V serial port voltage through the communication module 5 and input to the other keyboard. The power is provided by an external circuit. The left and right keyboards have the same circuit structure. When no external power source is available, the battery and Bluetooth module 7 will enter the working state, and the keyboard will switch to Bluetooth mode.

[0034] The two independent keyboards are connected via a Type-C interface. Compared with traditional split keyboard interfaces, the symmetrical design of the Type-C interface is more convenient to use, can reduce the failure rate of the device, and extend its service life. The split keyboard is small and portable, and has both wired and Bluetooth connection methods. It can also be connected to a mobile phone, making it more functional and usable in multiple scenarios.

[0035] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
