Description

Portable electric device five to the formula button and use the keyboard of this button

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of keyboard, is specifically related to a kind of keyboard of portable electric device.

Background technology

Press-key structure (keyboard) all is a kind of indispensable input interface for various electronic installations, and the user imports various literal, numeral, symbol and carries out its function by this input interface, thereby allows the user can the described electronic installation of easy operation.

Figure 1 shows that the key arrangement mode of traditional Q WERTY keyboard 10, this qwerty keyboard is personal computer or the common key configurations of mobile computer.Initial research and development qwerty keyboard is for the mechanical realization that improves complicated typewriter and improves typing speed, use till today, the key configurations mode that this design has become most of user to be accepted, skilled typewriting person can remember the position of button, and carries out touch system.With reference to this figure, the button 101 of a plurality of groups of keyboard 10 is arranged on the keyboard 10 according to the array mode.And, on the keycap 102 of each button 101, be printed with corresponding patterns such as numeral, literal and symbol.When the user in when input, can on key cap surface, push or push by ten fingers of both hands, the inside of the signal of correspondence being imported this electronic installation is to handle.

Because science and technology is constantly down progressive in recent years, the volume of portable electric device also is tending towards gently, thin, short, little design.If on light, thin, short, little portable electric device, use, not only can cause difficulty in design, and keycap 102 volumes of button 101 must dwindle as the qwerty keyboard among Fig. 1.After keycap 102 volume-diminished of button 101, the user can't utilize ten fingers of both hands to push on keycap 102 surfaces, must push with finger, causes the trouble of user in input operation.

Therefore, how to simplify number of keys, can import pairing English alphabet on whole standard writer keyboards, numeral simultaneously again, reach various symbols.It is problem to be solved in the utility model.

The utility model content

In order to address the above problem, that is, simplify number of keys, can import pairing English alphabet on whole standard writer keyboards, numeral simultaneously again, reach various symbols.The interface mode that a kind of operation that utilizes joystick that the utility model proposed is imported, thus the input mode that conventional keys is pushed replaced.

The utility model provide a kind of portable electric device five to the formula keyboard, be used to provide the input of numeral and letter, it is characterized in that described five comprise to the formula keyboard: the button housing which is provided with a plurality of openings; A plurality of buttons are configured on the described button housing, and described button is made up of joystick unit and the keycap that is socketed on the described joystick unit, and described key cap surface is provided with numeral; And, four pattern districts, described pattern district is arranged on the described button housing along the diagonal on described opening four limits, describedly is printed with English alphabet in the pattern district.

The utility model not only can reduce number of keys, is convenient to user's operation, more can be applicable on light, thin, short, the little portable electric device.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the utility model is elaborated, yet accompanying drawing only is used to provide reference and explanation, is not to be used for limiting the utility model.

With reference to figure 2,3 and 4, they are respectively the local synoptic diagram that amplifies and analyse and observe at Fig. 3 2-2 position section of keyboard appearance of the present utility model, Fig. 2.As shown in the figure: the keyboard of portable electric device of the present utility model comprises: button housing 1 and a plurality ofly be arranged in button 2 on this button housing 1 in the array mode.It is characterized in that button housing 1 which is provided with a plurality of openings 11, opening 11 internal diameters are widened from inside to outside gradually.Button housing 1 along four limit diagonals of opening 11 is provided with four pattern districts 12, in each pattern district 12, be printed with English alphabet (A～Z or A～Z appoint several monograms) 13, special symbol (*, # .) 14 and direction symbol 15.

Button 2 is made up of the keycap (Keycap) 22 that joystick unit (joystick) 21 and is socketed on this joystick unit 21.Joystick unit 21 include circuit board 211 and with the pedestal 212 of these circuit board 211 electrical ties, pedestal 212 is provided with the recreation body of rod 213.Keycap 22 is the T font, which is provided with cap head 221, and cap head 221 is accepted the cylinder 222 of inner hollow shape, and cylinder 222 can be socketed on the recreation body of rod 213, and is printed on the numeral 223 of corresponding input on the surface of cap head 221, and numeral 223 is 0～9.Rely on keycap 22 to move, make the recreation body of rod 212 produce corresponding signal output, and signal is transmitted by circuit board 211 to any diagonal line.

Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram of the utility model button push action.As shown in the figure: when using keyboard of the present utility model, user's finger is by on cap head 221 surfaces of keycap 22, and cap head 221 makes cylinder 222 produce downward pressure.Described pressure puts on the recreation body of rod 213 of joystick unit 21, makes the pedestal 212 of joystick unit 21 produce the signal of corresponding cap head 221 surface numbers 223.This signal is transferred to electronic installation (not shown) inter-process by circuit board 211, promptly demonstrates the pattern of input digit 223 on the display screen of electronic installation.

Fig. 6,7 is respectively that the utility model keycap shift action is overlooked and the synoptic diagram of side-looking.As shown in the figure: when user's finger push keycap 22 when cornerwise pattern district, four limits of button housing 1 12 directions move, the pedestal 212 of joystick unit 21 produce corresponding pattern district 12 literal 13, special symbol (*, # .) 14 or the signal of direction symbol 15, this signal transfers to electronic installation (not shown) inter-process by circuit board 211, promptly on the display screen of electronic installation, demonstrate literal 13, special symbol (*, # .) 14 pattern, and the control that cursor is moved.

For example, when keycap 22 moves to the direction of cornerwise pattern district 12 English alphabets " Q " of button housing 1, can make joystick unit 21 make the signal output of living corresponding English alphabet " Q ", on the display screen of electronic installation, demonstrate English alphabet " Q ".

Further, the numeral 223 on the keycap 22 also can be imprinted on the diagonal angle on button housing 1 opening 11 4 limits.And the literal 13 that the opening 11 4 limit diagonal line of button housing 1 are printed, special symbol (*, # .) 14 and direction symbol 15, also can be imprinted on the surface of keycap 22.

Further again, the ordering of the English alphabet that is printed at 1 four limit diagonal line of button housing 1 opening 1 can be QWERTY.

The above is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model only, is not therefore to limit claim of the present utility model, and every other equivalence of being done in the utility model characteristic range changes or modifies, and all should be included in the claim of the present utility model.
