Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer peripheral equipment technology, and in particular to a foldable and retractable computer keyboard tray structure. Background Technology

[0002] A computer keyboard tray, a common computer peripheral, is usually installed under a computer desk or on the desktop to support the keyboard and meet the user's comfortable typing needs in different sitting postures, thereby improving the convenience of office work and ergonomic comfort.

[0003] However, as office environments become increasingly compact and multifunctional, the inherent limitations of traditional keyboard tray designs are becoming increasingly apparent. Many keyboard trays employ a fixed structure or a simple pull-out rail design, meaning that even when the keyboard is not in use, the tray structure still occupies a considerable amount of desktop or under-desk space. This is particularly inconvenient in space-constrained work environments and can easily lead to accidental bumps by users.

[0004] Meanwhile, modern office desktops typically need to accommodate various office supplies and personal items besides the keyboard, such as stationery, data cables, and external hard drives. The haphazard placement of these items can easily lead to a cluttered desktop environment. Existing keyboard trays are often designed with only a single support function; their solid structure fails to effectively utilize their volume to integrate the storage needs of these scattered items, thus offering very limited contribution to improving desktop space utilization and tidiness.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a foldable and retractable computer keyboard tray structure to address the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems of existing computer keyboard trays, such as fixed structure, large desktop space occupation when not in use, and limited functionality and lack of ability to organize and store desktop clutter, this utility model aims to provide a foldable and storage computer keyboard tray structure with improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0007] This utility model provides a foldable and retractable computer keyboard tray structure, including: a keyboard support platform; the interior of the keyboard support platform is at least partially formed into a cavity for accommodating items, and a groove is provided on its top surface; a U-shaped support block is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the keyboard support platform; and a sliding plate and a movable component movably connected to the keyboard support platform.

[0008] The edge of the sliding plate is slidably fitted into the groove and is used to openably cover the cavity. The moving component includes a U-shaped support block and a connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a rectangular groove serving as a guide track is provided on one outer wall of the keyboard support platform. The lower end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the keyboard support platform via a pivot, and a locking pin that can slide within the rectangular groove is fixedly connected to its upper end. The upper end is also rotatably connected to the second U-shaped support block. Through the structural combination of the above components, when the moving assembly is unfolded from the folded state, the sliding plate can be fully pulled out, and its two ends can be supported by the first U-shaped support block and the second U-shaped support block respectively, forming a stable keyboard working platform.

[0010] Preferably, the keyboard support is further provided with a partition inside, which divides the cavity into at least two storage areas, so that the cavity and the partition together constitute a functional storage mechanism. This design makes it easier for users to classify and store items of different sizes and types, and improves the organization of storage.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed connection between the U-shaped support block and the keyboard support is achieved by at least one fixing screw. The fixing screw passes through the preset through hole of the U-shaped support block and is screwed into the keyboard support. This connection method is easy to assemble and ensures the long-term stability and reliability of the U-shaped support block as a fixed support point.

[0012] Preferably, when the moving component is retracted to the folded position, the inner side of the second U-shaped support block and the outer side of the first U-shaped support block can fit together and engage, making the entire telescopic structure more compact and integrated in the folded state, avoiding looseness and shaking of the components, and making the appearance neater.

[0013] Preferably, in order to improve the stability of the sliding plate when it is supported, the top surfaces of both the first U-shaped support block and the second U-shaped support block are provided with upwardly recessed grooves for stably supporting the sliding plate. When the sliding plate is placed on them, it can effectively prevent unnecessary lateral sliding during the use of the keyboard.

[0014] Preferably, the moving component, U-shaped support block, locking post, pivot, and rectangular groove cooperate with each other in structure and function to form a complete folding and telescopic mechanism. The mechanism is a system that enables the keyboard tray to smoothly and stably switch between the two states of unfolded support and folded storage.

[0015] Preferably, in terms of spatial layout, the axis of the pivot is perpendicular to the outer wall of one side of the keyboard support, and the length of the rectangular groove is approximately inclined. This specific geometric relationship can guide the connecting rod to produce a specific composite motion combining arc swing and translation, making the unfolding and folding process smoother and less strenuous.

[0016] Preferably, in terms of specific component construction, the connecting rod is an integrally formed plate structure, and the locking pin is a cylinder integrally extended from the upper end of the connecting rod. This integrated manufacturing method has higher structural strength, better transmission accuracy and higher production efficiency compared with separate welding or assembly.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model, by setting up a folding and telescopic mechanism consisting of a connecting rod, a pivot, a locking post, and a rectangular groove working in concert, allows the movable support part of the keyboard tray to be unfolded or folded up relative to the fixed keyboard support platform. This solves the problem in the prior art where the keyboard tray structure is fixed and continues to occupy valuable desktop space when not in use. It achieves the technical effect of conveniently folding and storing the keyboard tray, significantly saving desktop space, and improving the flexibility of the working environment.

[0019] 2. This utility model solves the problem of the keyboard tray having a single function and being unable to integrate desktop clutter in the prior art by designing the main body of the keyboard support table as a storage structure with an internal cavity and partition, and using a sliding plate as both the keyboard support surface and the cover of the storage compartment. It achieves the technical effect of effectively classifying and storing items, keeping the desktop neat and orderly, and making it convenient for users to quickly find and retrieve items, thereby improving the added value and practicality of the product.

[0020] 3. This utility model, by adopting a telescopic mechanism that combines a connecting rod and a guide groove, and having two separate support blocks jointly support the sliding plate after unfolding, solves the problems of swaying and instability that may exist in traditional simple pull-out structures. It achieves the technical effect of a stable and reliable support platform after unfolding, strong support force, compact overall structural design, smooth transmission, and improved product durability and ease of operation.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a foldable and storage-type computer keyboard tray structure, which aims to solve the problems of existing keyboard tray structures having a single function, occupying desktop space when not in use, and lacking the ability to store items.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the foldable computer keyboard tray structure includes a keyboard support 1 as the overall base. The interior of the keyboard support 1 forms at least a cavity 304 for accommodating items. A groove 303 is provided on the top surface of the keyboard support 1. The edge of the sliding plate 301 slides in the groove 303, allowing the sliding plate 301 to move back and forth along the groove 303, thereby opening and closing to cover the cavity 304 inside the keyboard support 1.

[0031] A U-shaped support block 201 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the keyboard support platform 1, and a moving component 203 is movably connected to the outer wall of the side. The moving component 203 includes a U-shaped support block 2031 and a connecting rod 2032. The keyboard support platform 1 also has a rectangular groove 205 on its outer wall to serve as a guide track. The lower end of the connecting rod 2032 is rotatably connected to the keyboard support platform 1 via a pivot 204, and the upper end of the connecting rod 2032 is fixedly connected to a locking pin 202, which is housed in a rectangular groove. The groove 205 is inside and can slide along the length of the rectangular groove 205. At the same time, the upper end of the connecting rod 2032 is rotatably connected to the second U-shaped support block 2031. Through the cooperation of this series of structures, when the keyboard tray is needed, the second U-shaped support block 2031 is pulled out and unfolded. When the sliding plate 301 is completely pulled out from the keyboard support platform 1, its two ends can be stably connected and supported by the first U-shaped support block 201 and the unfolded second U-shaped support block 2031, forming a stable keyboard placement platform.

[0032] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this embodiment is that the foldable and storage-type computer keyboard tray structure realizes the functions of retractable folding of the keyboard tray and classified storage of items through a set of ingeniously designed folding and telescopic mechanism 2 and storage mechanism 3.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The U-shaped support block 201 constituting the folding and telescopic mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the keyboard support platform 1 by at least one fixing screw 206. The fixing screw 206 passes through the pre-set through hole of the U-shaped support block 201 and is screwed into the keyboard support platform 1 to provide a stable fixing base. A rectangular groove 205 is also provided on the outer wall of one side of the keyboard support platform 1. The length direction of the rectangular groove 205 is approximately inclined to guide the movement trajectory of the moving component 203. The connecting rod 2032 is an integrally formed plate structure. Its lower end is rotatably connected to the keyboard support platform 1 through a pivot 204. The axis of the link is perpendicular to the outer wall of one side of the keyboard support 1, ensuring that the link 2032 swings in the correct plane. The upper end of the link 2032 extends integrally to form a cylindrical locking post 202, which is slidably received in the rectangular groove 205. At the same time, the upper end of the link 2032 is also rotatably connected to the U-shaped support block 2031. This linkage structure composed of the link 2032, the pivot 204, the locking post 202 and the rectangular groove 205 ensures that the U-shaped support block 2031 can move stably along the preset composite trajectory when it is pulled out or pushed back, thereby realizing the smooth folding and unfolding of the keyboard tray.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3Inside the storage mechanism 3 of the keyboard support 1, a partition 302 is also fixedly installed. The partition 302 is used to divide the cavity 304 into at least two storage areas to facilitate the classification and storage of items of different sizes. The cavity 304 and the partition 302 together constitute the entire storage mechanism 3.

[0035] Specifically, in order to achieve effective classification and management of stored items, a partition 302 is fixedly installed inside the keyboard support 1. The partition 302 is used to divide the cavity 304 into at least two independent storage areas. Thus, the cavity 304 and the partition 302 together constitute a fully functional storage mechanism 3.

[0036] As a stable connection method, the fixed connection between the U-shaped support block 201 and the outer wall of one side of the keyboard support 1 is achieved by at least one fixing screw 206. During installation, the fixing screw 206 passes through the preset through hole of the U-shaped support block 201 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the keyboard support 1 in sequence, ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0037] When the keyboard tray is not in use and needs to be stored, the moving component 203 is operated to the retracted folded position. At this time, the inner side of the second U-shaped support block 2031 and the outer side of the first U-shaped support block 201 will fit together and engage, so that the entire protruding part is compactly stored on the side of the keyboard support 1 without taking up extra space.

[0038] To improve the stability of the sliding plate 301 when it is unfolded, the top surfaces of both the first U-shaped support block 201 and the second U-shaped support block 2031 are provided with upwardly recessed grooves for stabilizing and supporting the sliding plate 301. When the sliding plate 301 is attached to these two support blocks, the bottom ends of its plate body fall into the corresponding grooves, effectively preventing accidental horizontal shaking of the keyboard platform during use.

[0039] From the perspective of overall functional structure, the moving component 203, U-shaped support block 201, locking post 202, pivot 204 and rectangular groove 205 work together to form a complete folding and telescopic mechanism 2, which realizes the switching between the keyboard tray unfolding support and folding storage functions.

[0040] In the geometric layout of the folding telescopic mechanism 2, the axis of the pivot 204 is set to be perpendicular to one side of the outer wall of the keyboard support 1, and the length direction of the rectangular groove 205 is approximately inclined. This specific spatial relationship ensures that when the connecting rod 2032 swings with the pivot 204 as the center, the locking pin 202 at its upper end can slide smoothly along the inclined rectangular groove 205, thereby guiding the U-shaped support block 2031 to perform a smooth arc telescopic movement.

[0041] In a preferred manufacturing scheme, to simplify the structure and improve the strength of the components, the connecting rod 2032 is designed as an integrally formed plate structure, while the locking post 202 at its upper end is a cylinder integrally extended from the upper end of the connecting rod 2032. This integrated design reduces the number of parts, simplifies the assembly process, and enhances the overall integrity of the structure.

[0042] Working principle: When the keyboard support 1 is needed, the U-shaped support block 2031 is moved horizontally. The locking pin 202 connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 2032 slides downward in the rectangular groove 205. The rotation of the pivot 204 at the lower end of the connecting rod 2032 allows the connecting rod 2032 to smoothly drive the U-shaped support block 2031 to move. The keyboard tray can be extended and folded through the moving component 203. After use, the U-shaped support block 2031 is moved in the opposite direction, so that the U-shaped support block 2031 engages with the U-shaped support block 201. The U-shaped support block 201 is connected to the keyboard support 1 through the fixing screw 206. The keyboard support 1 is folded and stored through the folding and telescopic mechanism 2, which is convenient for storage and effectively saves space.

[0043] The sliding plate 301 is moved horizontally, and its lower end moves on the keyboard support platform 1 through the sliding groove 303. The sliding plate 301 is then pulled out and fixed to the U-shaped support block 1 201 and the U-shaped support block 2031, thereby achieving the unfolding support effect of the keyboard support platform 1. The cavity 304 on the left side of the keyboard support platform 1 can be used to store larger items. The partition 302 inside the keyboard support platform 1 can effectively classify the stored items and can be used to store smaller items. The storage mechanism 3 effectively classifies the items, making the desktop more tidy and orderly, and making it easier for users to quickly find the items they need.
