Abstract
The invention provides a computer keyboard. The computer keyboard is characterized by comprising two shells having spherical shapes, and a signal processing unit, wherein five keys are arranged on each shell; an angle capturing device is arranged inside each shell; the angle capturing device is used for capturing a rotation angle of the corresponding shell; and the signal processing unit simulates states of keys of a common computer keyboard according to states of keys on the shells and the rotation angles of the shells. When using the keyboard of the invention, a user needs to rotate the two spherical shells and wrists, elbows and shoulders of the user can rotate within a larger range, so the shortcoming that the wrists, the elbows and the shoulders of the user using the common keyboard can only translate within a small range can be overcome, and muscle ache and discomfort of the user which are caused by long-time use of the common keyboard can be relieved.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the data input device of various electronic equipments, particularly can be applied to the ergonomic keyboard of computing machine.
Background technology
Common computer keyboard comprises 1 flat housing, is equipped with tens on the housing, or up to a hundred keyboard keys.During operation keyboard, because user's wrist portion, ancon and shoulder mobile range are very little, and move mode only limits to the plane and move, and cause DOMS and discomfort easily after long-time the use.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is by suitable increasing user wrist portion, the mobile range of ancon and shoulder and change move mode alleviate DOMS and the discomfort that long-time use keyboard causes.
The present invention is a kind of computer keyboard, it is characterized in that: 2 profiles are spherical housing; 5 buttons are installed on each housing; 1 angle acquisition equipment is installed in each housing, and this device is used for catching the rotational angle of housing; 1 signal processing unit, this signal processing unit are simulated the state of common keyboard key according to the rotational angle of the state of button on the housing and housing.
When using keyboard of the present invention, the user need be positioned over both hands on the housing of two spheries, 5 buttons on respectively corresponding each housing of 5 fingers of each hand.When the user rotated the housing of two spheries, the angle acquisition equipment in the housing can be caught the angle that housing rotates.The state of button is simulated the state of common keyboard key on angle that the signal processing unit of keyboard of the present invention rotates according to housing and the housing.
Because when using keyboard of the present invention, the user need rotate the housing of two spheries, so wrist portion of user, ancon and shoulder can rotate in a wider context, overcome when using common keyboard can only among a small circle in translation shortcoming, help the user to alleviate because long-time DOMS and the discomfort of using keyboard to cause.

Embodiment
Computer keyboard of the present invention has the housing of 2 spheries, and 5 buttons are installed on each housing, respectively corresponding 5 fingers.The user needs roll-shell during operation keyboard.Angle acquisition equipment in the housing can be caught the angle that housing rotates.The angle of rotating according to housing can define 9 kinds of heeling conditions, is respectively centre, the place ahead, rear, left, right-hand, right front, right back, left front, left back, as shown in Figure 1.
The signal processing unit of computer keyboard of the present invention is simulated the state of common keyboard key according to the state of button on the rotational angle of housing and the housing.As shown in Figure 2, when left shell turns to the place ahead state, and the user is when pressing left hand little finger of toe corresponding key, and signal processing unit can notify computing machine letter Q key to be pressed.If simultaneously right shell body is in right-hand state, and right hand little finger of toe corresponding key is when being pressed, and signal processing unit can notify computing machine letter Q key and shift key to be pressed simultaneously.
The signal processing unit of computer keyboard of the present invention can be realized by the hardware that is positioned at housing, also can realize by device driver software.
The housing of computer keyboard of the present invention can be made tumbler, and like this, when user's both hands left, keyboard can stay in the original place, can not tumble from work top.There are a variety of methods can reach this purpose, such as can in the lower semisphere of housing, increasing pouring weight.
Computer keyboard of the present invention can also and computer screen on the dummy keyboard collaborative work.The layout of this dummy keyboard is similar to common computer keyboard.When housing was in certain angle, the keyboard key that 5 buttons on the housing can be simulated can be highlighted demonstration on dummy keyboard.The user just can in time adjust the turned position of housing as required like this, thereby reduces maloperation.For example, when left shell was in left, as shown in Figure 2,5 keys on the left shell can be simulated the shift key respectively, Ctrl, Alt key, tab key and Fn key.At this moment, these 5 keyboard keys can be highlighted demonstration on dummy keyboard.
The angle acquisition equipment of computer keyboard of the present invention can be achieved by a variety of methods.In the implementation method that Fig. 3 shows, the keyboard case internal fixation has been installed one flat plate, and 2 mutually perpendicular angle sensor Qi – sensors 1 and sensor 2 are housed on the flat board.When housing rotates, these 2 angular transducers can with housing with respect to the horizontal plane the electronic signal of rotational angle be sent to signal processing unit.
2 above-mentioned angular transducers also can substitute with a twin shaft angular transducer.
The angle acquisition equipment of computer keyboard of the present invention can also be realized by position switch as shown in Figure 4.This switch mainly is made up of 3 parts, terminal a, terminal b and switch arm c.The end splicing ear a of switch arm c, the other end can freely rotate.During installation, terminal a and terminal b are fixed in the housing, their line and gravity vertical at an angle, such as 15 the degree.Terminal a is positioned at the top of terminal b.When housing mediated, because the effect of gravity, switch arm c was parallel with gravity vertical, so its other end can't touch terminal b, and switch is in off-state at this moment.When housing is rotated 15 degree when above, the other end of switch arm c touches terminal b, and this moment, switch was in closure state.
4 above-mentioned position switchs, 4 directions in corresponding front, rear, left and right are installed in housing.These 4 switches are used F respectively, B, and L, R represents.When housing rotates 15 degree forward when above, switch F is in closure state, and other 3 switches are in off-state.When housing turns left 15 degree when above, switch L is in closure state, and other 3 switches are in off-state.When housing simultaneously forward, turning left surpasses 15 when spending, switch F and switch L are in closure state simultaneously, switch B and switch R are in off-state.And the like.Like this, the state by 4 switches we can learn 9 kinds of heeling conditions of housing.
