Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of keyboard technology, specifically a waterproof keyboard with vibration function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic devices, keyboards, as core input tools for human-computer interaction, have always seen their performance optimization a key direction for technological development. Among these, vibration and waterproofing have been two particularly noteworthy features in recent years. Vibration provides instant tactile feedback when users press keys, significantly improving operational accuracy and user experience. This is especially true in highly immersive scenarios such as games and virtual reality, where vibration feedback allows users to intuitively perceive the results of their actions, enhancing the realism of the interaction. Waterproofing, on the other hand, is fundamental to ensuring stable keyboard operation in complex environments. Whether it's accidental splashes in daily life or liquid contact in specific work environments, a good waterproof design effectively prevents liquid from entering the keyboard, avoiding short circuits, component damage, and other malfunctions, thus extending the keyboard's lifespan and ensuring normal user operation. Therefore, keyboards combining vibration and waterproofing have become a new market trend and a key area for technological innovation.

[0003] For example, patent document CN222421717U discloses a waterproof mechanical keyboard. This patent improves the waterproof performance of the mechanical keyboard by setting a waterproof cover outside the mechanical switches, effectively preventing liquid from entering the keyboard through the gap between the mechanical switches and the base. However, the above patent only solves the waterproofing problem and does not address the vibration function, making the drainage process incomplete and affecting the user experience. Therefore, we propose a waterproof keyboard with vibration function. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a waterproof keyboard with vibration functionality, thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof keyboard with vibration function, comprising a keyboard shell, a palm rest fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the keyboard shell, a guide plate fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the keyboard shell, the guide plate being inclined, the inclined direction of the guide plate facing the palm rest, a collection box fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate near the palm rest, the collection box extending to one end of the inner wall of the palm rest, and eight equidistantly distributed guide tubes fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the collection box away from the guide plate.

[0006] Preferably, the palm rest has eight horizontally equidistant drainage holes on the outer wall of the end away from the keyboard housing, and the drainage holes extend to one end of the inner wall of the palm rest.

[0007] Preferably, the output end of the guide pipe away from the collection box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outlet end.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the palm rest is provided with three vibration motors that are equidistantly distributed laterally.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the keyboard housing has two equally spaced support slots at the end away from the palm rest, and the inner walls of the support slots are movably connected to supports.

[0010] Preferably, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the bracket, and two equidistant second anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the palm rest away from the keyboard shell. The anti-slip pad and the second anti-slip pad are made of rubber.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the keyboard housing is provided with multiple sets of keycaps.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a waterproof keyboard with vibration function, which has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This waterproof keyboard with vibration function features a tilted deflector plate that faces the palm rest. When liquid spills onto the keyboard casing, it flows naturally towards the palm rest due to gravity, preventing liquid buildup inside the keyboard. A collection box collects the liquid flowing from the deflector plate, preventing direct contact with the palm rest or seepage into the keyboard's internal circuitry, effectively protecting the internal components.

[0014] 2. This waterproof keyboard with vibration function has eight equidistant drainage tubes fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection box away from the guide plate. These tubes evenly distribute the liquid in the collection box and guide it to the eight water outlets on the outer wall of the palm rest to drain it out. This prevents liquid from accumulating in the palm rest and keeps the palm rest dry, further enhancing the keyboard's waterproof capability.

[0015] 3. This waterproof keyboard with vibration function has three horizontally equidistant vibration motors located on the bottom of the inner wall of the palm rest. When activated, these motors generate high-frequency vibrations, which accelerate the flow of liquid in the collection box and prevent liquid residue. At the same time, the vibrations help the liquid drain more smoothly through the drainage tube, reducing the risk of blockage and ensuring the efficient operation of the drainage system, making the keyboard more reliable in terms of waterproofing.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A waterproof keyboard with vibration function includes a keyboard shell 1. A palm rest 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the keyboard shell 1. A guide plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the keyboard shell 1. The guide plate 3 is inclined, with the inclined direction of the guide plate 3 facing the palm rest 2. Through the inclined design, the liquid spilled on the keyboard shell 1 flows naturally towards the palm rest 2 under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of liquid inside the keyboard. A collection box 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate 3 near the palm rest 2 to collect the liquid flowing down from the guide plate 3, preventing the liquid from directly contacting the palm rest 2 or seeping into the internal circuit of the keyboard. The collection box 4 extends to one end of the inner wall of the palm rest 2. Eight equidistant guide tubes 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection box 4 away from the guide plate 3 to evenly distribute the liquid in the collection box 4 and guide it to a designated position through the guide tubes 5.
