Referring to fig. 1-4, a transparent keycap is shown, wherein the keycap 1 comprises a cap 2, a bottom cover 3 and an inner content 4 for displaying contents; the cap 2 is transparent and is provided with a first side wall 20 arranged in a surrounding manner, the bottom of the first side wall 20 is provided with an opening, and the top of the first side wall 20 is provided with a first cover plate 21 for blocking; the bottom cover 3 is provided with a second side wall 30 arranged around the bottom, the bottom of the second side wall 30 is provided with an opening, and the top of the second side wall 30 is provided with a second cover plate 31 for blocking; the inner body 4 enters the cap 2 through an opening at the bottom of the first sidewall 20; the bottom cover 3 is installed in the cap 2 through the opening at the bottom of the first side wall 20, a sealed accommodating cavity 5 is formed between the bottom cover 3 and the cap 2, the second side wall 30 is attached to the inner surface of the lower portion of the first side wall 20, and the bottom surface of the second cover plate 31 is provided with a downward extending insertion end 6.

The cap 2 and the bottom cover 3 are preferably integrally formed with each other. The first sidewall 20 and the first cover plate 21 of the cap 2 form a structure of a receiving space for allowing the bottom cover 3 to be assembled and the inner body 4 to be placed. The inner body 4 is put into the cap 2 through the opening at the bottom of the first sidewall 20, and then the bottom cap 3 is mounted at the bottom of the cap 2 to close the opening of the cap 2, so that the inner body 4 is confined in the sealed accommodation chamber 5. The cap 2 is transparent as a whole, and the content 42 carried by the content body 4 under the cap can be displayed. When the multifunctional mobile phone is used, the knocking of the user can not directly act on the content body 4, and the phenomena that the content 42 is worn and disappears or is covered by dirt after long-time use and the like are effectively avoided. Meanwhile, the presentation mode of the content 42 is free from the limitation of the previous single mode, and the presentation mode is diversified through the accommodating cavity 5. The second side wall 30 and the second cover plate 31 of the bottom cover 3 are also formed with a structure of a receiving space, the receiving space is used for mounting the keycap 1 on the keyboard, and the inserting end 6 is matched with a corresponding end on the keyboard (this is prior art and will not be described again).

In some embodiments, a ring of limiting steps 22 is disposed on the inner surface of the lower portion of the first sidewall 20, and the second cover plate 31 abuts against the lower portion of the limiting steps 22. When the bottom cap 3 is installed in the cap 2, the bottom cap 3 is blocked from further entering after the second cover plate 31 reaches the limiting step 22, so that the matching position of the cap 2 and the bottom cap 3 is fixed.

In some embodiments, the bottom of the first side wall 20 is provided with a hook 23 protruding inward, and the outer wall of the bottom of the second side wall 30 is provided with a slot 32 connected to the hook 23. The bottom cover 3 and the cap cover 2 are assembled in various modes, can be tightly matched, bonded, clamped and the like, a sealed accommodating cavity 5 is formed between the bottom cover and the cap cover, and the inner content body 4 can be stably kept in the accommodating cavity. In this embodiment, the bottom cap 3 is inserted from the opening at the bottom of the cap 2, the side walls of the bottom cap and the cap are tightly attached, and the hook 23 is hooked into the slot 32, so as to enhance the connection stability of the bottom cap and the cap.

In some embodiments, the inner body 4 may be one or more combinations of gases, liquids, or solids. For example, the solid structure such as small cards, character pieces or decorative objects is used for displaying in combination with letters and numbers, or nitrogen or essential oil with certain color is placed in the accommodating cavity 5 and matched with a keyboard with a light effect to form a cloud effect or light transmission or refraction of essential oil with different colors, so that the key is more beautiful in color and more personalized.

The solid content 4 may be formed by: the inner body 4 comprises a third side wall 40 arranged in a surrounding manner, a third cover plate 41 covers the top of the third side wall 40, and the third cover plate 41 is provided with contents for display; the third sidewall 40 is attached to the first sidewall 20, and the bottom thereof abuts against the second cover plate 31. The third side wall 40 is attached to the cap 2, so that the inner body 4 is positioned stably in the accommodating cavity 5, and letters or numerical characters to be displayed can be printed on the third cover plate 41.

In some embodiments, the cap 2 is in the shape of a truncated pyramid, with curved edges. The upper end of each keycap 1 is narrowed, a sufficient gap is reserved between the upper ends of the keycaps 1 in the keyboard, and when a user strikes the keyboard, the user can effectively avoid mistaken striking.

There is provided a keyboard having a transparent key cap 1 as claimed in any one of the preceding claims mounted thereon.

In conclusion, the improved transparent keycap 1 can effectively reduce abrasion and pollution in the long-term use process, the arrangement form of the content of the keycap 1 is diversified, and the keyboard is more personalized and beautiful.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, which may be modified, combined, and varied by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
