Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of keyboard light guide column technology, specifically to a keyboard light guide column. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of electronic products, keyboards are widely used in computers and various other electronic devices. To achieve keyboard backlighting and improve the keyboard's usability, it is common practice to install surface-mount LEDs on a PCB board to provide backlighting, and then use light guides to conduct the light from the LEDs.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application No. 202220954466.5 discloses a keyboard switch with a diamond-faceted light guide column, including a base with a fusion groove on the upper surface of the base. The light guide mechanism includes a top cover, a light guide column body, and a key shaft. The top cover is fixed to the upper surface of the base, and the upper surface of the top cover has an opening for the key shaft to slide and limit its movement. The light guide column body is mounted on the mounting groove of the top cover. The upper surface of the light guide column body has a first reflective surface, and the outer surface of the light guide column body has a second reflective surface, which is located on an inclined surface on one side of the light guide column body. Both the first and second reflective surfaces have three-dimensional triangular protrusions. A positioning mechanism is fixed to the front side of the light guide column body. This technical solution presents a diamond-faceted effect through the three-dimensional triangular protrusions on the first and second reflective surfaces, improving aesthetics and refracting light more evenly. Furthermore, the positioning mechanism prevents the light guide column from jamming the keycaps when used with the keycaps.

[0004] However, the following problems still exist in this technical solution: the buckle method used in this technical solution connects the base and the top cover. After long-term use or when subjected to external impact, the plastic buckle may deform or break, thus making it impossible to fix the base and the top cover together. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a keyboard light guide column, which can be fixed between the base and the top cover through a fixing mechanism to increase stability and extend service life. It can also be disassembled and installed through an installation mechanism for easy replacement, thereby solving the above-mentioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a keyboard light guide column, including a base, a top cover on the top of the base, a button on the top of the top cover, a fixing mechanism for fixing the top cover on the base, and placement slots on both sides of the base, with a light guide column inserted into each placement slot.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes multiple plug-in plates disposed at the bottom of the base, the base having multiple plug-in slots, each plug-in plate having a second threaded hole, the base having multiple first threaded holes, the connected first threaded holes and second threaded holes having the same first bolt internally threaded, the plug-in plates being adapted to the plug-in slots for fixing the top cover.

[0008] Preferably, the upper cover is provided with an installation mechanism for installing and removing the light guide column. The installation mechanism includes two installation slots respectively opened on both sides of the upper cover. Each installation slot is inserted with an installation plate. Two connecting plates are fixedly provided on one side of the installation plate. A third threaded hole is opened on the connecting plate. A fourth threaded hole is opened on both sides of the upper cover. The third threaded hole and the fourth threaded hole are connected by the same second bolt for installing and removing the light guide column.

[0009] Preferably, the base has a lighting mechanism at its bottom, which includes a support plate at the bottom of the base. The support plate has an LED light at its bottom, and both sides of the support plate have fifth threaded holes. The base has two support plates at its bottom, and the fifth and sixth threaded holes are connected internally by the same third bolt for lighting.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows: 1. Insert the plug plate at the bottom of the top cover into the plug slot on the base, and then rotate the first bolt to turn it into the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole. The first bolt can fix the base and the top cover. Compared with the existing technology of fixing by buckle, the present invention has higher firmness and extends service life. 2. Insert the light guide post into the placement slot, then insert the mounting plate into the mounting slot. Turn the second bolt into the third and fourth threaded holes. The second bolt can be used to fix the mounting plate to one side of the top cover. The light guide post can be disassembled and installed through the installation mechanism for easy replacement.
