Description
技术领域
本发明涉及一种输入装置,尤其涉及一种具有倾斜滚轮的输入装置。
背景技术
随着技术快速发展及电脑多媒体时代的来临,人们对各式各样的电脑装置的依赖也增加。各种供使用者与电脑系统沟通的周边输入装置,例如鼠标、键盘、麦克风等等,均扮演重要角色。当中以鼠标为使用者最常使用的输入装置。鼠标通常具有一滚轮,以供使用者对画面执行放大、缩小、卷动画面等等操作。于现有技术中另具有一种鼠标的滚轮还可以被左右摆动,以控制屏幕的水平方向的卷动。此种滚轮鼠标被称为倾斜式滚轮(Tilt Wheel)鼠标。然而,现有技术中,倾斜式滚轮鼠标的滚轮在左右方向摆动的幅度要较大才可以达到左右控制的目的,对使用者而言就必须要施予较大的力道,所以使用上较不方便。
因此,有必要发明一种新的输入装置,以解决现有技术的缺陷。
发明内容
本发明的主要目的在于提供一种具有倾斜滚轮的输入装置。
为达成上述的目的,本发明的输入装置包括电路板、滚轮、支撑架、按压开关及至少一倾斜开关。滚轮具有转动轴心。支撑架用以支撑滚轮并可被滚轮带动。支撑架包括本体、至少一延伸臂、第一支撑部及第二支撑部。滚轮以转动轴心枢接于本体,使滚轮可相对本体转动,滚轮能带动支撑架下压与朝至少一侧边倾斜。至少一延伸臂设置于本体的侧边。第一支撑部枢设于本体的一端以使本体能够被滚轮带动下压。第二支撑部连接本体并支撑于电路板,其中第二支撑部设置于转动轴心及第一支撑部之间。按压开关系设置于电路板上并对应本体设置,按压滚轮时带动本体下压触发按压开关。至少一倾斜开关设置于电路板并对应于至少一延伸臂,滚轮倾斜时,带动至少一延伸臂倾斜而触发至少一倾斜开关。
本发明的有益效果在于,本发明的输入装置可以让使用者轻易地按压或倾斜滚轮来产生控制命令,以解决现有技术的缺陷。
附图说明
图1为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的立体示意图。
图2为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的侧面示意图。
图3为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的正面示意图。
图4为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的另一方向的立体示意图。
图5为本发明的输入装置的第二实施例的侧面示意图。
具体实施方式
为能更了解本发明的技术内容,特举较佳具体实施例说明如下。
以下请先同时参考图1到图3,其中图1为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的立体示意图、图2为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的侧面示意图、图3为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的正面示意图。
首先说明的是,本发明提供一种输入装置1a,使用者可通过操作输入装置1a而控制相对应的电子设备,且输入装置1a可设置于各类的鼠标装置或键盘装置等,但不以此局限滚输入装置1a的应用范畴。于本发明的第一实施例中,输入装置1a可以用于鼠标装置,其设置于鼠标装置内部并包覆于一外壳3内。由于鼠标装置的外壳3形状并非本发明的重点所在,故在此不加以详述。该输入装置1a包括电路板2、滚轮10、支撑架20、按压开关31、左倾斜开关32a及右倾斜开关32b。滚轮10的表面可以由橡胶制成,滚轮10具有一转动轴心11,由此枢接于支撑架20,使滚轮10可以供使用者拨动,由此发出控制指令使电子设备执行命令。由于此技术已为本发明所属技术领域中技术人员所熟知,故在此不再赘述。
支撑架20用以支撑滚轮10,并可被滚轮10带动。支撑架20包括本体21、左延伸臂22a、右延伸臂22b、第一支撑部23及第二支撑部24a。滚轮10以转动轴心11枢接于本体21,使滚轮10可相对本体21转动,且使用者可以通过操控滚轮10带动支撑架20下压以及朝至少一侧边倾斜。第一支撑部23枢设于本体21的一端,使本体21能够被滚轮10带动下压。第一支撑部可利用固定轴231以枢设到电路板2的枢接部2a。第二支撑部24a连接本体21的左右两侧,第二支撑部24a为一弹簧,以支撑于电路板2,并于使用者按压滚轮10时提供回复弹力。由此,第一支撑部23及第二支撑部24a支撑起整个支撑架20,以承受滚轮10的重量及使用者按压滚轮10时的力道。
按压开关31设置于电路板2上并对应于本体21设置于本体21下方,以通过使用者按压滚轮10而带动本体21下压触发按压开关31来产生相对应的控制信号。而由图2可知,第二支撑部24a设置于转动轴心11及第一支撑部23之间,按压开关31设置于该第二支撑部24a及该第一支撑部23之间,左延伸臂22a亦设置于第二支撑部24a及第一支撑部23之间。所以由输入装置1a的侧面来看,上述元件从前方到后方的位置依序为转动轴心11、第二支撑部24a、按压开关31、左延伸臂22a及第一支撑部23,第二支撑部24a及第一支撑部23都不会超过转动轴心11的所在位置。
于本发明的第一实施例中,输入装置1a包括左延伸臂22a、右延伸臂22b、左倾斜开关32a及右倾斜开关32b,但本发明并不限于此。输入装置1a也可以设置单一个延伸臂以配合单一个倾斜开关,来达成倾斜控制的目的。左延伸臂22a及右延伸臂22b分别从本体21的左侧及右侧朝斜下方延伸。左倾斜开关32a及右倾斜开关32b设置于电路板2上并位于左延伸臂22a及右延伸臂22b下方。就如图3所示,左延伸臂22a设置于本体21的左侧并对应于左倾斜开关32a,右延伸臂22b设置于本体21的右侧并对应于右倾斜开关32b。由此使用者控制滚轮10朝左倾斜时,带动左延伸臂22a倾斜而向下触发左倾斜开关32a。同理,使用者控制滚轮10朝右倾斜时,带动右延伸臂22b倾斜而向下触发右倾斜开关32b。通过上述输入装置1a的结构,使用者就不须施加太大的力道来触发按压开关31、左倾斜开关32a或右倾斜开关32b。
接着请参考图4为本发明的输入装置的第一实施例的另一方向的立体示意图。
于本发明的第一实施例中,输入装置1a可以再包括一发光元件41,发光元件41可以为发光二极管。发光元件41设置于该支撑架20上不会随着滚轮10转动或倾斜的元件,例如设置于感测滚轮10转动状态的编码器50上,但本发明并不限于此。发光元件41伸入该滚轮10的内侧,以根据使用者不同的控制发出不同颜色或亮度的光线,由此可增加输入装置1a的美观,但本发明并不限制发光元件41仅能设置于滚轮10的内侧。
最后请参考图5为本发明的输入装置的第二实施例的侧面示意图。
于本发明的第二实施例中,输入装置1b的该按压开关31设置于该滚轮10的下方,且输入装置1b仅具有一个第二支撑部24b。第二支撑部24b位于本体21的正下方,且设置于该按压开关31及该第一支撑部23之间。所以由输入装置1b的侧面来看,各元件从前方到后方的位置依序为按压开关31、转动轴心11、第二支撑部24b、左延伸臂22a及第一支撑部23,第二支撑部24b及第一支撑部23都不会超过转动轴心11的所在位置。通过上述输入装置1b的结构,使用者同样不须施加太大的力道来带动本体21触发按压开关31、左倾斜开关32a或右倾斜开关32b。
由此,本发明的输入装置1a、1b可以让使用者轻易地按压或倾斜滚轮10来产生控制命令,以解决现有技术的缺陷。
需注意的是,上述实施方式仅例示本发明的较佳实施例,为避免赘述,并未详加记载所有可能的变化组合。然而,本领域的通常知识者应可理解,上述各模块或元件未必皆为必要。且为实施本发明,亦可能包含其他较细节的公知模块或元件。各模块或元件皆可能视需求加以省略或修改,且任两模块间未必不存在其他模块或元件。只要不脱离本发明基本架构者,皆应为本发明所主张的权利范围,而应以权利要求书为准。
