[0009] A further improvement to the above solution is that the upper surface of the air guide is provided with an adsorption coating, and an adsorption pad is provided at one end of the air guide near the adsorption coating. One end of the adsorption pad can be adsorbed onto the outer surface of the air guide through the adsorption groove and the adsorption coating, thereby waterproofing the outer surface of the keyboard.

[0010] A further improvement to the above solution is that the adsorption pad is an adsorption adhesive pad.

[0011] A further improvement to the above solution is that the keyboard housing has multiple mounting holes on its outer inner wall, and the multiple mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the keyboard housing.

[0012] A further improvement to the above solution is that the keyboard casing is provided with keyboard slots, and the size of the keyboard slots varies.

[0013] A further improvement to the above solution is that one end of the protective gasket is disposed inside the storage cavity, and the protective gasket is a drainage gasket.

[0014] A further improvement to the above solution is that a flow guide baffle is provided on the outer side of the flow guide base near the flow storage cavity, and an assembly pin is provided on the flow guide baffle.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a waterproof and heat-dissipating keyboard structure for a laptop computer is characterized by: including a heat-dissipating frame 10, a keyboard shell 20, a protective pad 30, and a heat-dissipating base 40. One end of the heat-dissipating frame 10 is fastened to the heat-dissipating base 40 to form a waterproof cavity 41. The keyboard shell 20 and the protective pad 30 are both disposed within the waterproof cavity 41. A heat-dissipating cavity 11 is provided on the heat-dissipating frame 10, and a heat-dissipating groove 12 is provided on the heat-dissipating frame 10 near the heat-dissipating cavity 11 to form a heat-dissipating channel. A heat-dissipating base 40 is provided with a heat-retaining cavity 42 relative to the heat-dissipating cavity 11, and a drain outlet 43 is provided at one end of the heat-dissipating base 40 near the heat-retaining cavity 42. Water accumulated in the heat-dissipating cavity 11 can flow into the heat-retaining cavity 42 through one end of the heat-dissipating groove 12, and drain water from the keyboard through one end of the drain outlet 43. One end of the heat-dissipating frame 10 and the heat-dissipating base 40 are inclined ends. In this embodiment, the flow guide frame 10 and the flow guide base 40 form a closed waterproof cavity 41, which completely encloses the keyboard shell 20 and the protective pad 30, effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the internal circuitry of the keyboard. The flow guide cavity 11 and the flow guide groove 12 on the flow guide frame 10 form a flow channel for the liquid to be quickly guided to the storage cavity 42. The inclined end design of the flow guide frame 10 and the flow guide base 40 promotes liquid flow and improves drainage efficiency. The drainage path of the storage cavity 42 and the drain outlet 43 ensures that the accumulated liquid can be discharged from the keyboard in time, avoiding liquid retention inside the keyboard, reducing the risk of short circuit, and making the structure compact and highly practical.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 A guide strip 13 is provided on the outer side of the flow guide frame 10 near the flow guide groove 12. Multiple guide strips 13 are provided, with one end of each strip surrounding the flow guide frame 10 to form an adsorption groove 14. In this embodiment, by providing multiple guide strips 13 on the outer side of the flow guide frame 10 near the flow guide groove 12, a surrounding adsorption groove 14 is formed, effectively improving the keyboard's waterproof performance. The synergistic effect of the multiple guide strips 13 forms a three-dimensional flow guiding network, ensuring that liquid splashes from different angles can be promptly diverted.

[0031] The upper surface of the airflow guide 10 is provided with an adsorption coating. An adsorption pad 15 is provided at one end of the airflow guide 10 near the adsorption coating. One end of the adsorption pad 15 can be adsorbed onto the outer surface of the airflow guide 10 through the adsorption groove 14 and the adsorption coating, thus waterproofing the outer surface of the keyboard. In this embodiment, the combination of the adsorption coating on the upper surface of the airflow guide 10 and the adsorption pad 15 at the end of the airflow guide 10 achieves excellent waterproofing of the keyboard's outer surface; effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the keyboard while maintaining a clean appearance; and enhancing the adsorption effect of the adsorption pad 15 on the airflow guide 10 through the adsorption groove 14 and the adsorption coating, improving adsorption accuracy and preventing misalignment.

[0032] The absorbent pad 15 is an absorbent adhesive pad. In this embodiment, the absorbent adhesive pad can effectively absorb liquid seeping into the keyboard gaps, preventing moisture from seeping into the internal circuitry.

[0033] The keyboard housing 20 has multiple mounting holes 21 on its outer inner wall, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the keyboard housing 20. In this embodiment, the symmetrical arrangement of multiple mounting holes 21 on both sides of the keyboard housing 20 effectively avoids the problem of housing deformation caused by stress concentration on one side. The multiple mounting holes 21 provide more fixing points, making the connection between the keyboard housing 20 and the airflow base 40 more stable and reliable, ensuring that the keyboard maintains stable structural performance during long-term use.

[0034] The keyboard casing 20 is provided with keyboard grooves 22, and the grooves 22 are of different sizes. In this embodiment, the design of grooves of different sizes can effectively guide liquid to flow in from the gaps between the keycaps and then quickly drain out, avoiding liquid accumulation on the keyboard surface.

[0035] One end of the protective gasket 30 is disposed within the reservoir cavity 42, and the protective gasket 30 is a drainage gasket. In this embodiment, by setting a drainage gasket within the reservoir cavity 42 as the protective gasket 30, an effective waterproofing and drainage function is achieved for the laptop keyboard structure. One end of the protective gasket 30 extends into the reservoir cavity 42, forming a continuous water flow guiding channel, which can quickly guide liquid into the reservoir cavity 42 when liquid seeps into the keyboard.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, a flow guide baffle 45 is provided on the outer side of the flow guide base 40 near the flow storage cavity 42. An assembly pin 46 is provided on the flow guide baffle 45, which engages with the assembly hole 21 to fix the flow guide frame 10 onto the flow guide base 40. In this embodiment, the engagement of the flow guide baffle 45 and the assembly pin 46 on the outer side of the flow guide base 40 achieves a stable connection between the flow guide frame 10 and the base. The assembly pin 46 on the flow guide baffle 45 can be precisely inserted into the assembly hole 21 of the flow guide frame 10, effectively preventing displacement of the keyboard assembly when subjected to external impact. This simplifies the production and assembly process and improves the overall structural reliability.

[0037] Multiple flow guide baffles 45 are provided, and these baffles 45 surround the flow guide base 40 to form a sealing groove 47. The flow guide frame 10 is fixed to the flow guide base 40 and passes through the sealing groove 47 to form a sealing structure. In this embodiment, the sealing groove 47 formed by multiple baffles surrounding the flow guide base 40, combined with the fixed installation of the flow guide frame 10, achieves a good sealing effect. The multiple flow guide baffles 45 are arranged around the base to form a continuous sealing groove 47 structure, effectively preventing liquid from seeping in from the keyboard gaps while maintaining the integrity of the structure.

[0038] A barrier strip 44 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 42 near the drain outlet 43, and a barrier step 441 is provided on the drain outlet 43 near the barrier strip 44. The barrier step 441 and the barrier strip 44 form a barrier groove 442 on the inner wall of the guide base 40. The water accumulated in the guide cavity 11 can be discharged at the drain outlet 43 along the barrier groove 442. In this embodiment, by providing a barrier strip 44 on the inner wall of the guide cavity 11 and configuring a matching barrier step 441 near the drain outlet 43, an effective double waterproofing is formed. The barrier groove 442 structure formed by the barrier strip 44 and the barrier step 441 can guide the liquid accumulated in the guide cavity 11 to flow along a predetermined path in an orderly manner, avoiding disorderly overflow of liquid in the guide cavity 11 and ensuring drainage efficiency, so that the liquid can be discharged quickly and completely from the drain outlet 43.

[0039] A waterproof, heat-dissipating keyboard structure for laptops is characterized by comprising a heat-dissipating frame 10, a keyboard shell 20, a protective pad 30, and a heat-dissipating base 40. One end of the heat-dissipating frame 10 is fastened to the heat-dissipating base 40 to form a waterproof cavity 41.

The heat-dissipating frame 10 is provided with a heat-dissipating cavity 11, and a heat-dissipating groove 12 is provided near the heat-dissipating cavity 11 to form a heat-dissipating channel. The heat-dissipating base 40 is provided with a heat-retaining cavity 42 relative to the heat-dissipating cavity 11, and a drain outlet 43 is provided at one end of the heat-dissipating base 40 near the heat-retaining cavity 42. Water accumulated in the heat-dissipating cavity 11 can flow into the heat-retaining cavity 42 through one end of the heat-dissipating groove 12, and drain water from the keyboard through one end of the drain outlet 43. One end of the heat-dissipating frame 10 and the heat-dissipating base 40 are inclined ends. In this embodiment, the flow guide frame 10 and the flow guide base 40 form a closed waterproof cavity 41, which completely encloses the keyboard shell 20 and the protective pad 30, effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the internal circuitry of the keyboard. The flow guide cavity 11 and the flow guide groove 12 on the flow guide frame 10 form a flow channel for the liquid to be quickly guided to the storage cavity 42. The inclined end design of the flow guide frame 10 and the flow guide base 40 promotes liquid flow and improves drainage efficiency. The drainage path of the storage cavity 42 and the drain outlet 43 ensures that the accumulated liquid can be discharged from the keyboard in time, avoiding liquid retention inside the keyboard, reducing the risk of short circuit, and making the structure compact and highly practical.
