Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a keyboard base, specifically a base-type soft and springy GASKET self-locking keyboard. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of computer input devices, keyboards, as an important tool for user interaction with computers, have always been a focus of technological research and development in terms of user experience and structural stability. Traditional keyboards are generally designed in two types: one type aims for typing comfort and feedback, employing elastic support structures, such as elastic plates, to allow the keyboard body to elastically deform when keys are pressed, providing users with a soft and bouncy typing feel. However, due to the lack of an effective locking structure during transportation or storage, this type of keyboard is prone to relative displacement between the keyboard body and the base due to shaking, leading to loosening or even damage to internal components. The other type of keyboard, in order to ensure structural stability, uses rigid connections to fix the keyboard body to the base during transportation and storage, but this sacrifices typing comfort during daily use and fails to meet users' demand for a soft and bouncy feel.
[0003] Existing keyboard designs struggle to balance typing comfort and structural stability simultaneously, creating an urgent need for a keyboard structure that provides a good typing feel during use and ensures structural stability when not in use. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a base-mounted soft-spring GASKET self-locking keyboard, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model includes:
[0006] Keyboard body;
[0007] The base is connected at one end to the bottom edge of the keyboard body along its length, and at the other end is separated from the keyboard body to form a gap.
[0008] A self-locking mechanism is provided within the gap;
[0009] The self-locking mechanism includes:
[0010] A wedge block that slides within the gap.
[0011] An elastic reset component with one end connected to a wedge-shaped block and the other end fixed to the base.
[0012] Rotate the connecting rod mounted on the wedge block.
[0013] A self-locking track mounted on a base and allowing linkages to slide;
[0014] The self-locking track has a locking position and an unlocking position:
[0015] When the linkage slides to the locked position, the wedge block abuts against the keyboard body and the base to lock it in place.
[0016] When the linkage slides to the unlock position, the wedge block disengages from the contact state, and the keyboard body can move elastically relative to the base.
[0017] Preferably, an elastic piece is provided between the keyboard body and the base to elastically support the keyboard body in the unlocked state.
[0018] Preferably, the self-locking track is a heart-shaped channel, with its concave section forming the locking position and its protruding end forming the unlocking position.
[0019] Preferably, the elastic reset element is a compression spring, and its extension and retraction direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the wedge block.
[0020] Preferably, the connecting rod extends to the side of the keyboard body and is fixed to the wedge block.
[0021] Preferably, the inclined surface of the wedge block faces the bottom surface of the keyboard body, and forms surface contact with the keyboard body when locked.
[0022] Beneficial effects: Provides a soft and responsive typing feel: When the keyboard unlocks, the wedge block disengages under the action of the elastic reset component, and the elastic plate provides support, allowing the keyboard body to move flexibly. When the user types, the keyboard body can elastically deform with the key presses, improving typing comfort.
[0023] Structural stability protection in locked state: Securely lock the keyboard body and base: The wedge block pushes the linkage to slide to the locking position of the self-locking track, and the inclined surface of the wedge block forms a surface contact with the bottom surface of the keyboard body, using the characteristics of the wedge structure to achieve a secure lock between the two.
[0024] To prevent damage to internal components: When locked, the elasticity of the spring sheet is restricted, and the keyboard body cannot move elastically relative to the base. In scenarios such as transportation and storage, this can prevent damage to internal components caused by shaking and ensure structural stability.
[0025] Ease of operation and reusability of functions: Simple unlocking / locking operation: Users can slide the linkage within the self-locking track by pushing the wedge block to switch between unlocking and locking states, making the operation process convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.
[0035] Example 1, by Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a base-mounted soft-spring GASKET self-locking keyboard, comprising:
[0036] Keyboard body 1;
[0037] The base 2 has one end connected to the bottom edge of the keyboard body 1 along its length direction, and the other end separated from the keyboard body 1 to form a gap;
[0038] The self-locking mechanism 3 is disposed within the gap;
[0039] The self-locking mechanism 3 includes:
[0040] The wedge block 31 is slidably set within the gap.
[0041] An elastic reset member 32, with one end connected to the wedge block 31 and the other end fixed to the base 2,
[0042] Rotate the connecting rod 33 mounted on the wedge block 31.
[0043] A self-locking track 34 is mounted on the base 2 and allows the connecting rod 33 to slide;
[0044] The self-locking track 34 has a locking position and an unlocking position:
[0045] When the linkage 33 slides to the locked position, the wedge block 31 abuts against the keyboard body 1 and the base 2 to achieve locking;
[0046] When the linkage 33 slides to the unlock position, the wedge block 31 disengages from the contact state, and the keyboard body 1 can move elastically relative to the base 2.
[0047] Keyboard Body 1: Keyboard Body 1 is the core part for text input operations. It integrates key components such as keys and circuit boards, and carries the user's daily typing and operation functions.
[0048] Base 2: One end of the base 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the keyboard body 1 along its length, and the other end is separated from the keyboard body 1 to form a specific gap. This gap is used to install the self-locking mechanism 3, and at the same time provides space for the elastic movement of the keyboard body 1 in the unlocked state.
[0049] Self-locking mechanism 3: The self-locking mechanism 3 is installed in the gap formed between the base 2 and the keyboard body 1, and is a key component for realizing the keyboard locking and unlocking functions.
[0050] Wedge block 31: The wedge block 31 is slidably disposed in the gap, with its inclined surface facing the bottom surface of the keyboard body 1. In the locked state, the inclined surface of the wedge block 31 forms surface contact with the keyboard body 1 to ensure a stable locking effect.
[0051] Elastic reset element 32: The elastic reset element 32 adopts a compression spring, one end of which is connected to the wedge block 31 and the other end is fixed to the base 2. Its extension and retraction direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the wedge block 31. After the unlocking operation, it can automatically reset the wedge block 31 to prepare for the next locking.
[0052] Link 33: Link 33 is rotatably mounted on wedge block 31, allowing the user to slide link 33 by operating wedge block 31, thereby locking and unlocking the keyboard.
[0053] Self-locking track 34: The self-locking track 34 is set on the base 2 and has a heart-shaped channel structure, in which the connecting rod 33 slides. The self-locking track 34 has a locking position and an unlocking position. Its concave section constitutes the locking position. When the connecting rod 33 slides to this position, the wedge block 31 abuts against the keyboard body 1 and the base 2 to lock it. Its protruding end constitutes the unlocking position. When the connecting rod 33 slides to this position, the wedge block 31 disengages from the abutting state, and the keyboard body 1 can move elastically relative to the base 2.
[0054] Elastic piece 4: An elastic piece 4 is provided between the keyboard body 1 and the base 2. In the unlocked state, the elastic piece 4 plays an elastic support role, allowing the keyboard body 1 to move elastically and providing users with a comfortable typing feel.
[0055] Working Principle: When the keyboard is in the unlocked state, the linkage 33 is located at the protruding end (unlocked position) of the self-locking track 34. At this time, the wedge block 31, under the action of the elastic reset member 32, disengages from the contact state between the keyboard body 1 and the base 2. The elastic sheet 4 between the keyboard body 1 and the base 2 provides elastic support, giving the keyboard body 1 a certain amount of elastic movement space. When the user types, the keyboard body 1 can elastically deform with the pressing of the keys, providing the user with a soft and bouncy typing feel and improving user comfort.
[0056] When the keyboard needs to be locked, the user operates the wedge block 31, which pushes the connecting rod 33 to slide within the self-locking track 34. Since the connecting rod 33 is rotatably mounted on the wedge block 31, when the connecting rod 33 slides to the concave section (locked position) of the heart-shaped channel in the self-locking track 34, the inclined surface of the wedge block 31 makes close contact with the bottom surface of the keyboard body 1, and forms a surface contact with the keyboard body 1. Utilizing the characteristics of the wedge structure, the keyboard body 1 and the base 2 are securely locked together. At this time, the elasticity of the elastic piece 4 is restricted, and the keyboard body 1 cannot move elastically relative to the base 2, ensuring the structural stability of the keyboard during transportation and storage, and preventing damage to internal components due to shaking.
[0057] When the keyboard needs to be unlocked again, the user pushes the wedge block 31 again. The wedge block 31 pushes the linkage 33, causing it to slide from the locked position of the self-locking track 34 to the unlocked position. As the linkage 33 slides, the wedge block 31 gradually disengages from the contact state with the keyboard body 1. The elastic force generated by the compression of the elastic reset member 32 (compression spring) is released, pushing the wedge block 31. When the linkage 33 slides to the unlocked position, the wedge block 31 completely disengages from the contact, and the keyboard body 1 regains its elastic mobility under the action of the elastic plate 4, allowing the user to continue enjoying a comfortable and bouncy typing experience.
[0058] Beneficial effects: Provides a soft and responsive typing feel: When the keyboard is unlocked, the wedge block 31 disengages from the contact point under the action of the elastic reset member 32, and the elastic sheet 4 provides support, allowing the keyboard body 1 to have elastic movement space. When the user types, the keyboard body 1 can elastically deform with the key press, improving typing comfort.
[0059] Structural stability protection in the locked state: The keyboard body and the base are firmly locked: the connecting rod 33 is pushed to the locking position of the self-locking track 34 by the wedge block 31, and the inclined surface of the wedge block 31 forms a surface contact with the bottom surface of the keyboard body 1, so as to achieve a firm lock between the two by utilizing the characteristics of the wedge structure.
[0060] To prevent damage to internal components: When locked, the elasticity of the elastic piece 4 is restricted, and the keyboard body 1 cannot move elastically relative to the base 2. In scenarios such as transportation and storage, this can prevent damage to internal components caused by shaking and ensure structural stability.
[0061] Ease of operation and reusability of functions: The unlocking / locking operation is simple: the user can slide the link 33 in the self-locking track 34 by pushing the wedge block 31 to switch between the unlocking and locking states. The operation process is convenient.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
