Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of keyboard technology, and in particular to a keyboard with a folding protection function. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the booming e-sports industry, mechanical keyboards have become the preferred choice for many users, especially gamers and technology professionals, due to their unique tactile feedback, high responsiveness, and customizability. However, despite their many advantages, mechanical keyboards also face some challenges, particularly in terms of protection. Traditional keyboard protection measures largely fail to meet the modern user's demands for portability, protection, and user experience.

[0003] Most mechanical keyboard cases on the market currently offer only basic dust protection, with very limited ability to prevent liquid spills or other potential damage (such as accidental beverage spills). This makes mechanical keyboards vulnerable to unforeseen environmental factors during daily use. They fall short of meeting more complex protection needs, such as waterproofing and shock resistance. Furthermore, many protective devices are not user-friendly in design, with cumbersome installation and removal processes, causing inconvenience to users. For example, some cases may require tools such as screwdrivers to assemble, increasing the difficulty and time cost for users. In addition, most existing protective products are bulky and heavy, making them unsuitable for portability. For users who frequently need to work on the go or attend events, such designs are clearly undesirable.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a keyboard that is both highly effective and convenient, with a folding protection function. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices that are limited in function and cumbersome to use, the present invention aims to provide a keyboard with a folding and protective function.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a keyboard with a folding protection function, including a mechanical keyboard, a protective upper end, a hinge, a protective lower end, and a locking mechanism. The protective upper end is movably installed on the mechanical keyboard. The hinge is symmetrically and rotatably installed inside the protective upper end. The protective lower end is movably installed on the mechanical keyboard. The protective upper end and the protective lower end are movably fitted together to form a closed whole. The protective upper end and the protective lower end are symmetrically installed with a locking mechanism for their fixed connection.

[0007] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a locking plate, a wedge block, a pull rod, a limiting plate, and an elastic element. The locking plate is symmetrically installed on the upper end of the guard, and the limiting plates are symmetrically and slidably installed on both sides of the lower end of the guard. A wedge block is connected between the limiting plates on the same side, and a pull rod is connected to the wedge block. An elastic element is connected to the limiting plate, with one end of the elastic element connected to the limiting plate and the other end connected to the lower end of the guard. A locking groove is provided on the locking plate, and the locking plate is movably locked with the wedge block through the locking groove.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a buckle and a connector, with a buckle symmetrically hinged on the upper end of the guard and a connector symmetrically installed on the lower end of the guard, the buckle and the connector being movably snapped together.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a wireless charging platform, with the wireless charging platform installed on the lower end of the protective cover.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a handle, with a handle installed on the upper part of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a silicone pad, with the silicone pad adhered to the upper part of the protective structure.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes an LED display screen, with an LED display screen installed on the upper part of the protective cover.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention uses a hinge to fold the upper part of the protective cover over the mechanical keyboard, making it fit tightly against the lower part of the protective cover. This hinge enables folding and closing, forming a complete enclosed space, achieving the effect of all-round wrapping and protection of the mechanical keyboard.

[0015] This invention uses a quick-locking mechanism to fasten the latch and connector, reinforcing the closed state. The silicone pad effectively buffers the pressure, preventing damage to the mechanical keyboard and enhancing its protective performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: A keyboard with a folding protection function, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a mechanical keyboard 1, a protective upper end 2, a hinge 201, a protective lower end 3, and a locking mechanism 4. The protective upper end 2 is movably mounted on the mechanical keyboard 1. The protective upper end 2 consists of two parts: a placement frame and a cover frame. The two parts are hinged together by the hinge 201 to achieve a rotatable connection. The placement frame is used to fit around the mechanical keyboard 1 to wrap and position its outer contour, while the cover frame is used to cover and protect the top of the mechanical keyboard 1. The top of the protective lower end 3 and the bottom of the protective upper end 2 fit tightly together in the closed state, forming a complete enclosed space, thereby providing all-round wrapping and protection for the internal mechanical keyboard 1. At corresponding positions of the protective upper end 2 and the protective lower end 3, locking mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged to achieve a stable connection, further enhancing the sealing and stability of the overall structure.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking plate 203, a wedge block 401, a pull rod 402, a limiting plate 403, and an elastic element 404. Locking plates 203 are provided on both sides of the upper protective end 2, and mounting blocks are provided on both sides of the lower protective end 3. Fixing rods are symmetrically arranged within the mounting blocks, and limiting plates 403 are slidably mounted on each fixing rod. A wedge block 401 connects two limiting plates 403 on the same side. One end of the wedge block 401 is connected to the pull rod 402. An elastic element 404 is sleeved on the fixing rod. One end is connected to the mounting block, and the other end is connected to the limiting plate 403. The lower part of the clamping plate 203 has a snap-fit ​​groove. The clamping plate 203 is movably snapped into the wedge block 401 through the snap-fit ​​groove. The cooperation between the clamping plate 203 and the wedge block 401 achieves a stable connection between the upper protective end 2 and the lower protective end 3. The clamping plate 203 can only be moved upward by pulling out the wedge block 401 through the pull rod 402 to separate the upper protective end 2 and the lower protective end 3, ensuring that it remains stable in the non-operational state and automatically resets under the action of the elastic element 404.

[0024] When the mechanical keyboard 1 needs protection, place the mechanical keyboard 1 on the lower protective end 3, and then place the upper protective end 2 on the mechanical keyboard 1. The hinge 201 is rotated and folded downwards to cover the mechanical keyboard 1, making it tightly fit with the lower protective end 3. The hinge 201 is used to achieve folding and closure, forming a complete closed space that fully wraps and protects the mechanical keyboard 1. After the closure operation is completed, the locking mechanism 4 is further activated, which drives the card plate 203 to move downwards along the inclined surface of the wedge block 401. As the displacement changes, the wedge block 401 slides into the locking groove of the card plate 203 and locks, thereby achieving a firm connection between the upper protective end 2 and the lower protective end 3 on both sides. This ensures that the entire protective shell is in a stable closed state and will not be accidentally opened due to external force or transportation.

[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes buckles 202, connectors 301, a wireless charging pad 302, a handle 303, a silicone pad 5, and an LED display screen 6. Two buckles 202 are rotatably mounted on the front of the upper protective end 2, and two connectors 301 are correspondingly mounted on the front of the lower protective end 3. The buckles 202 and connectors 301 are movably engaged, facilitating quick locking at the front, enhancing closure stability, preventing accidental opening, and improving overall sealing and protection level. The lower protective end 3 contains a wireless charging pad 302, providing wireless charging for the mechanical keyboard 1. Charging can be done without disassembly, thus providing protection. To enhance both protection and practicality, and prevent wear and tear from frequent opening and closing, a carrying handle 303 is provided on the front of the upper protective end 2, making it convenient for users to carry the entire protective device and improving portability. It is especially suitable for mobile scenarios such as working outside, e-sports competitions, etc. A silicone pad 5 is attached to the inside of the upper protective end 2 to buffer internal pressure and prevent keycaps from being scratched or damaged by pressure, effectively protecting the appearance and structural integrity of the keyboard and extending its service life. An LED display screen 6 is installed on the upper protective end 2 to provide real-time feedback on the device's operating status, such as charging status and battery level, improving the user experience and allowing users to keep track of device information at any time, enhancing the sense of intelligent interaction.

[0026] When it is necessary to fix the front of the upper protective end 2 and the lower protective end 3, simply flip the buckle 202 to make it quickly snap into place with the corresponding connecting piece 301, thus completing the secure closure of the front side. This further improves the sealing and reliability of the overall protective structure. In addition, the wireless charging pad 302 installed inside the protective structure allows for convenient charging of the mechanical keyboard 1 that supports wireless charging without opening the protective structure, balancing practicality and safety. The handle 303 makes it easy for users to lift the entire device for convenient movement or use when going out. The silicone pad 5 pasted inside the upper protective end 2 can effectively buffer pressure while preventing the keycaps of the mechanical keyboard 1 from being scratched or damaged during storage, thereby better protecting the appearance and structural integrity of the keyboard.

[0027] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
