Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board technology, and in particular to a circuit board structure for a mechanical keyboard. Background Technology
[0002] A mechanical keyboard has an independent mechanical structure for each key, typically consisting of a keycap, a switch, one or more switches, and metal contacts. When a key is pressed, the force on the keycap is transmitted to the key stem, causing the key stem to press down, which in turn drives the switch contacts to close. After the switch contacts close, current can flow through the metal contacts to the metal contacts on the circuit board. Through the built-in key torque, the circuit board, as one of the core components of a mechanical keyboard, not only ensures the accurate transmission of key signals, but also improves the overall performance and durability of the mechanical keyboard through a reasonable layout and the selection of high-quality materials.
[0003] The following problems exist: In the design of mechanical keyboards, the layout compatibility of the circuit board is usually limited, which means that the interchangeability and universality between different keyboards are poor. In addition, the modularity of the circuit board is also relatively low, which may lead to more difficulties and limitations when repairing or upgrading. Inside the circuit board, the anti-interference ability of analog signals is often unsatisfactory, which may cause signal distortion or instability during keyboard use. At the same time, the manufacturing process of printed circuit boards has very high requirements, and any slight deviation or defect may affect the performance and reliability of the final product.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0006] A circuit board structure for a mechanical keyboard includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board mounted directly above the first circuit board, a plurality of through-holes in the first circuit board, a plurality of circuit board components fixedly connected to the bottom of the second circuit board, the outer walls of the circuit board components being sleeved with the inner walls of the through-holes, and a dedicated connector being movably connected to one end of the outer wall of the second circuit board.

[0008] An insulating block is fixedly connected to the rear end of the special connector, and mounting holes that extend through the connector are provided at both ends.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The insulating block has an interface at its rear end, and the inner wall of each mounting hole is provided with a locking bolt. There are two sets of locking bolts.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The cross-sectional dimension of the socket is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the circuit board component.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The dedicated connector is fixed to the corner of the top end of the first circuit board by a locking bolt.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The signal transmission between the first circuit board and the second circuit board is tightly connected through a dedicated connector.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: Through innovative keyboard circuit board structure and connection fixing method, the layout compatibility and modularity of the keyboard are effectively improved, the anti-interference capability of analog signals in the circuit board is enhanced, and the process requirements for printed circuit board manufacturing are reduced.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a circuit board structure for a mechanical keyboard, comprising a first circuit board 1, a second circuit board 2 mounted on the top of the first circuit board 1, and rounded corners of both the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2. This structure is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effectively protects the user's hands, preventing unnecessary injury from sharp corners during operation. The first circuit board 1 has multiple sets of through-holes 3, and the bottom of the second circuit board 2 is fixedly connected to multiple sets of circuit board components 4.
[0029] The outer wall of the circuit board component 4 is fitted with the inner wall of the socket 3. The cross-sectional dimension of the socket 3 is set to be larger than that of the circuit board component 4. This structure can effectively prevent unnecessary friction between the inner wall of the socket 3 and the outer wall of the circuit board component 4. Through this difference in size, it can be ensured that the socket 3 can smoothly accommodate the circuit board component 4, thereby avoiding any damage to the circuit board component 4 during insertion. This structure not only improves the convenience of assembly, but also ensures the reliability and service life of the circuit board. A special connector 5 is movably connected to one end of the outer wall of the second circuit board 2. An insulating block 6 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the special connector 5. The two ends of the special connector 5 are provided with through mounting holes 7. The rear end of the insulating block 6 is provided with an interface 8. Locking bolts 9 pass through the inner wall of the mounting holes 7.
[0030] Two sets of through-holes are provided at one corner of the first circuit board 1. The outer wall of the locking bolt 9 passes vertically upward through the holes and connects to the mounting holes 7 at both ends of the dedicated connector 5. The signal transmission between the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 is tightly connected through the dedicated connector 5, which can ensure the stability of the circuit board. Through innovative spatial layout and component design, the component layout space of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 is optimized, thereby realizing more component arrangement in a limited space, and enabling the keyboard to be compatible with more layouts without replacing the circuit board.
