Detailed Implementation

[0013] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0014] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0015] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a keyboard stand angle adjustment mechanism includes a stand body, and an adjustment mechanism 400 for adjusting the tilt angle of the stand body is provided below the stand body; the adjustment mechanism 400 includes a support plate 410 hinged to the bottom of one side of the stand body and capable of swinging left and right and an angle limiting mechanism. The support plate 410 can swing to one side to be close to the bottom surface of the stand body and can swing to the other side to a set angle limited by the angle limiting mechanism.

[0016] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 400 is located at the bottom right side of the support body, allowing the support body to tilt to the left, suitable for left-handed operation. In practice, the adjustment mechanism 400 can also be located at the bottom left side of the support body, allowing the support body to tilt to the right, suitable for right-handed operation.

[0017] When operating with one left hand, the adjustment mechanism can be used to raise the right side of the main body of the support to a certain height, tilting the keyboard support at a certain angle, reducing the degree of rotation of the left forearm and improving comfort; it also increases the space between the radius and ulna, reducing stimulation of the carpal tunnel nerve and reducing the probability of tenosynovitis, thus alleviating and preventing tenosynovitis (commonly known as keyboard hand); when both hands are needed to operate the keyboard, the main body of the support returns to a horizontal state.

[0018] When the support plate swings to the left until it is close to the bottom surface of the main support body, the support plate will not lift the right side of the main support body, and the main support body will be in a horizontal position for two-handed keyboard operation. When the support plate swings to the right, the support plate is limited to a specified angle by the angle limiting mechanism, and the support plate lifts the right side of the main support body, placing the main support body in an inclined position with the left side lower and the right side higher, for single-handed keyboard operation with the left hand. In practice, the left and right swing positions of the support plate can be reversed; that is, it can swing to the right until it is close to the bottom surface of the right bracket, and swing to the left while being limited to a set angle.

[0019] In this embodiment, the angle limiting mechanism includes a fixed plate 420 connected to the bottom of the support body, and a support plate hinged to the fixed plate by a pin. A slider 430 is located on the other side (right side) of the support plate and slides left and right with the fixed plate. Limiting blocks 460 are provided on the front and rear sides of the slider to abut against the support plate and limit the swing angle when the support plate swings to the other side (right side). By adjusting the left and right position of the slider, the support plate can be limited to different angles. When the slider slides to the left, the angle between the support plate and the support body increases, and the tilt angle of the support body increases. When the slider slides to the right, the angle between the support plate and the support body decreases, and the tilt angle of the support body decreases. The tilt angle can be adjusted to suit different people's habits.

[0020] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 420 has an elongated hole 421 in the middle, with its length direction parallel to the sliding direction of the slider. The upper side of the fixing plate has a channel 422 located above the elongated hole. A square nut 440 that can slide relative to the channel is provided in the channel. A screw 450 is inserted from bottom to top through the middle of the slider. After the screw passes through the elongated hole, it is connected to the square nut. For ease of operation, the screw 450 is a hand-tightening screw, which is convenient for the user to adjust at any time. When the screw 450 is loosened, the slider, screw and square nut can move together for adjustment. After adjustment, the screw 450 is tightened, and the square nut and slider cooperate to clamp the fixing plate, and the slider can no longer move.

[0021] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the slider is stable after locking, the lower side of the fixing plate is provided with an upper toothed surface 423, and the upper side of the slider 430 is provided with a lower toothed surface 431.

[0022] In this embodiment, the slider 130 is groove-shaped and is upside down on the underside of the fixing plate. The fixing plate has sliding grooves 424 on both the front and rear sides. The slider 430 has protruding buckles 432 on both the front and rear sides that extend into the sliding grooves and can slide along the sliding grooves.

[0023] In this embodiment, the main body of the support includes a wrist rest 100 and a pair of forward-extending brackets connected to the wrist rest 100 for placing the keyboard, namely a left bracket 200 and a right bracket 300; the adjustment mechanism is located at the bottom of the right bracket (i.e., the right bracket 300). The wrist rest is tilted at the same angle as the keyboard, ensuring that the wrist receives continuous and consistent support throughout the operation, avoiding wrist suspension or misalignment caused by the wrist rest remaining in the same position due to keyboard tilt, thus significantly improving the support effect and comfort.

[0024] In practice, the adjustment mechanism 400 can also be located at the bottom of the left bracket (i.e., the left bracket 200) to adjust the main body of the bracket to tilt to the right.

[0025] In this embodiment, the left bracket 200, right bracket 300, and wrist support 100 are connected by two connecting screws. The left bracket 200 and right bracket 300 have threaded holes that mate with the connecting screws. The left side of the wrist support 100 has several sets of connecting holes 110 arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. The connecting screw connects to one set of connecting holes on the left bracket. By selecting different positions of the connecting holes, the left-right position of the left bracket can be adjusted. The right side of the wrist support 100 has a long slot 120 through which the connecting screw passes. By adjusting the position of the connecting screw in the long slot 120, the left-right position of the right bracket can be adjusted.
