Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical keyboard technology, and in particular relates to a mechanical keyboard with easy-to-remove keycaps. Background Technology

[0002] In the information age, mechanical keyboards, as important computer input devices, are widely used in various fields such as office work, e-sports, and programming. Users' demands for keyboard experience are constantly increasing, and the ease of keycap removal and maintenance, as well as the overall usability of the keyboard, have become key factors influencing this experience.

[0003] Traditional mechanical keyboards typically connect keycaps to switches via snap-on clips. Disassembly requires tools such as keycap pullers, which is complex and can easily damage keycaps or switches due to uneven force. This makes daily cleaning and keycap replacement difficult. Furthermore, during installation, the keycaps are not precisely positioned relative to the keyboard body, which can lead to wobbling and misalignment, affecting typing feel and stability.

[0004] To address this issue, we provide a mechanical keyboard with easily removable keycaps. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mechanical keyboard with easy-to-remove keycaps. By combining the keyboard body and quick-release components, it solves the problem that traditional mechanical keyboards require tools such as keycap pullers to remove keycaps, which is complicated to operate and can easily damage keycaps or switches due to uneven force.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to a mechanical keyboard with easily removable keycaps. It includes a keyboard body, a quick-release assembly on the top of the keyboard body, keycaps on the top of the quick-release assembly, and an adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the keyboard body. The quick-release assembly includes a mounting slot located on the top of the keyboard body. A switch seat is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting slot. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the mounting slot. A magnetic suction groove is formed at the bottom of the inner cavity of each limiting block. A positioning frame is located at the top of the mounting slot. Locking blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the positioning frame. The locking blocks are adapted to the limiting blocks, and a magnetic suction block is fixedly connected to the bottom of each locking block. The shape and size of the mounting slot are adapted to the positioning frame, providing a stable installation space for the positioning frame. The switch seat is used to install the switch body. To ensure the keycaps are securely installed and function properly, the limiting block is rectangular in shape. Magnetic material is installed in the magnetic groove to engage with the limiting block. The positioning frame has sufficient strength and toughness to withstand the pressure applied during keycap use. The shape of the snap-fit ​​block matches the limiting block, and its size is slightly smaller than the inner cavity of the limiting block, allowing for smooth insertion and lateral positioning of the positioning frame within the mounting slot. The magnetic block, made of strong magnetic material, attracts the magnetic material in the magnetic groove. When the positioning frame is installed in the mounting slot, the magnetic block adheres to the groove, increasing the stability of the connection and preventing the keycaps from loosening during use. Furthermore, removing the keycaps requires only a small magnetic force to remove the positioning frame from the mounting slot, making operation convenient.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that limiting strips are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the keycap, and limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting strips are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the positioning frame. The limiting strips cooperate with the limiting grooves of the inner cavity of the positioning frame to play a lateral limiting role for the keycap. During the user's use of the keyboard to type, frequent key operations may cause the keycap to move laterally. This structural design can effectively limit such displacement and prevent the keycap from shaking or misaligning.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the adjustment mechanism includes positioning grooves, which are formed at the four corners of the bottom of the keyboard body. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the positioning groove, and a support plate is movably connected to one side of the connecting block via a pivot. The combination design of the positioning groove, the connecting block, and the support plate provides users with a flexible keyboard angle adjustment function. Different users have different needs for the keyboard tilt angle and height. By rotating the support plate, users can freely adjust the angle between the keyboard and the desktop according to their own habits and actual needs, so that the wrists are in a comfortable position, effectively relieving wrist fatigue caused by prolonged keyboard use.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that anti-vibration pads are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the keyboard body, and suction cups are provided at the bottom of the anti-vibration pads. The anti-vibration pads can effectively absorb the external impact and vibration of the keyboard during use, reduce the noise generated by keystrokes, and protect the internal electronic components of the keyboard from damage caused by vibration. The suction cups, by adhering tightly to the desktop, enhance the adsorption force between the keyboard and the desktop, ensuring the stability and safety of the keyboard during use.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the keycap, and a contact block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. The bottom of the contact block contacts the switch seat. When the user presses the keycap, the contact block can accurately trigger the switch in the switch seat, ensuring that every key operation can be fed back in time, and avoiding key failure or delay.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that there are four limiting strips, which are arranged corresponding to the limiting grooves. By limiting the keycaps with four limiting strips, the interference of external forces on the keycaps can be resisted more effectively, and the keycaps can be prevented from loosening and shifting in various directions.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0014] 1. This utility model achieves quick-release assembly and disassembly of keycaps from the keyboard body by setting a quick-release component on the top of the keyboard body. The keycaps are quickly disassembled and assembled by the cooperation of the mounting slot, limiting block, magnetic slot, positioning bracket, snap-fit ​​block and magnetic block. During disassembly, no additional tools are required. Simply lift the positioning bracket upwards and the magnetic block will disengage from the magnetic slot to easily remove the keycaps. Compared with the traditional disassembly method, the operation is simpler and the efficiency of keycap disassembly and installation is greatly improved, making it convenient for users to clean, maintain and replace the keycaps on the keyboard.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses the limiting strips on both sides of the bottom of the keycap and the limiting grooves in the inner cavity of the positioning frame to effectively limit the lateral movement of the keycap during use, so that the keycap is accurately positioned after installation, avoiding wobbling, misalignment and other issues, thereby improving the user's typing feel and accuracy, and bringing the user a more comfortable and stable input experience.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model is a mechanical keyboard with easy-to-remove keycaps, including a keyboard body 1, a quick-release assembly 2 on the top of the keyboard body 1, keycaps 3 on the top of the quick-release assembly 2, and an adjustment mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the keyboard body 1. The quick-release assembly 2 includes a mounting groove 21, which is located on the top of the keyboard body 1. A switch seat 22 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 21. Limiting blocks 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 21. A magnetic suction groove 24 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting block 23. A positioning frame 25 is located at the top of the mounting groove 21. A snap-fit ​​block 26 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the positioning frame 25. The snap-fit ​​block 26 is adapted to the limiting block 23. A magnetic suction block 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block 26.

[0026] Specifically: the shape and size of the mounting slot 21 are adapted to the positioning bracket 25, providing a stable installation space for the positioning bracket 25; the switch seat 22 is used to install the switch body, ensuring that the switch body is installed firmly and can trigger the key function normally; the limiting block 23 is cuboid in shape; the magnetic groove 24 is filled with magnetic material for cooperating with the magnetic block 27; the positioning bracket 25 has a certain strength and toughness to withstand the pressing force of the keycap 3 during use; the shape of the snap-fit ​​block 26 matches the shape of the limiting block 23, and the size of the snap-fit ​​block 26 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting block 23. The cavity size is designed so that the snap-fit ​​block 26 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting block 23, thereby achieving lateral positioning of the positioning frame 25 in the mounting groove 21. The magnetic block 27 is made of a strong magnetic material, which attracts the magnetic material in the magnetic groove 24. When the positioning frame 25 is installed on the mounting groove 21, the magnetic block 27 and the magnetic groove 24 are attracted to each other, increasing the stability of the connection between the positioning frame 25 and the mounting groove 21 and preventing the keycap 3 from loosening during use. At the same time, when removing the keycap 3, only a small magnetic force needs to be overcome to remove the positioning frame 25 from the mounting groove 21, making the operation convenient.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, limit strips 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the keycap 3. Limiting grooves 6 that cooperate with the limit strips 5 are opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the positioning frame 25. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a positioning groove 41, which is opened at the four corners of the bottom of the keyboard body 1. A connecting block 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the positioning groove 41. A support plate 43 is movably connected to one side of the connecting block 42 through a pivot. Anti-vibration pads 7 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the keyboard body 1. A suction cup 8 is provided at the bottom of the anti-vibration pad 7. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the keycap 3. A contact block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 9. The bottom of the contact block 10 contacts the switch seat 22. There are four limit strips 5, which are set corresponding to the limiting grooves 6.

[0029] Specifically: The limiting strip 5 works in conjunction with the limiting groove 6 inside the positioning bracket 25 to provide lateral limiting for the keycap 3. During typing, frequent key presses may cause lateral displacement of the keycap 3. This structural design effectively limits this displacement, preventing the keycap 3 from wobbling or becoming misaligned. The combined design of the positioning groove 41, connecting block 42, and support plate 43 provides users with flexible keyboard angle adjustment. Different users have different needs for keyboard tilt angle and height. By rotating the support plate 43, users can freely adjust the angle between the keyboard and the desktop according to their own habits and actual needs, placing their wrists in a comfortable position and effectively alleviating the strain caused by prolonged keyboard use. To reduce wrist fatigue, the anti-vibration pad 7 effectively absorbs external impacts and vibrations during keyboard use, reducing noise from keystrokes and protecting internal electronic components from damage. The suction cup 8, by adhering tightly to the desktop, enhances the adhesion between the keyboard and the desktop, ensuring the stability and safety of keyboard use. When the user presses the keycap 3, the contact block 10 accurately triggers the switch in the switch holder 22, ensuring timely feedback for every keystroke and preventing key malfunctions or delays. The four limiting strips 5 limit the keycap 3, effectively resisting external interference and preventing loosening and displacement of the keycap 3 in all directions.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing the keycap 3, the limiting strip 5 at the bottom of the keycap 3 is aligned with the limiting groove 6 in the inner cavity of the positioning frame 25. The limiting strip 5 and the limiting groove 6 cooperate to provide lateral limiting for the keycap 3, thus completing the installation of the keycap 3 and the positioning frame 25. Then, the snap-fit ​​block 26 is aligned with the limiting block 23 in the mounting groove 21. Since the shape of the snap-fit ​​block 26 matches the limiting block 23 and its size is slightly smaller, the snap-fit ​​block 26 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting block 23, achieving the initial positioning of the positioning frame 25 in the mounting groove 21. The magnetic block 27 and the magnetic groove... The magnetic materials inside 24 attract each other, and the magnetic force further enhances the stability of the connection between the positioning frame 25 and the mounting groove 21, so that the positioning frame 25 is firmly installed on the mounting groove 21. When it is necessary to remove the keycap 3, simply lift the keycap 3 upward by hand. The keycap 3 drives the positioning frame 25 to move upward, overcoming the magnetic force between the magnetic block 27 and the magnetic groove 24, so that the magnetic block 27 is separated from the magnetic groove 24. At the same time, the locking block 26 is pulled out from the limiting block 23, and the keycap 3 and the positioning frame 25 can be easily removed together, realizing convenient disassembly without the need for additional tools.

[0031] When a user needs to adjust the keyboard angle, an external force is applied to the support plate 43 to make it rotate around the pivot. The user can freely rotate the support plate 43 according to their own usage habits and actual needs, change the angle between the support plate 43 and the desktop, thereby adjusting the keyboard tilt angle and height. After the adjustment is completed, under the action of the keyboard's own weight and the friction of the pivot, the support plate 43 can be stably maintained at the corresponding angle, meeting the user's personalized needs for the keyboard usage angle in different scenarios.

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
