Description

A kind of MousePen of using more

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of mouse of adjusting mode of operation.

Background technology

Mouse is widely used a kind of important computer input unit, generally includes the housing that Gong to hold, is distributed in keypad and roller and inner member on the housing.Inner member comprises that again corresponding keypad and roller etc. are by the positioning component of the keyswitch of functional unit with the action input of detecting the people of being responsible for driving cursor track.Keyswitch generally uses microswitch.Positioning component is generally the in-plane displancement sensor that uses means of optical navigation technique or dynamo-electric spin technology, detects the relative displacement variation of mouse body with respect to workplace.

Handwriting pad and writing pencil are other important trace input devices, and especially extremely important in the middle of drawing and drawing application, the position and the pressure that between handwriting pad and writing pencil, use technology such as resistance, electric capacity, electromagnetic induction to follow the trail of nib usually change.

Conventional mouse is with the restriction of its shape, size, use-pattern, and the main motion that embodies by shoulder, arm, wrist control is difficult to embody the motion by finger control flexibly.Precisely, this also is except that " pressure " this reason, the major reason that needs writing pencil to exist by the track of finger participation control is quick.

Be applied in the various aspects of people's work and life along with computer is increasing, many people need long operating computer.As one of topmost input equipment, the fatigue of the hand that conventional Genius mouse long-time operation is brought, wrist, shoulder etc. and pain be one serious and important problem has also produced many solutions, but each have their own relative merits.

Along with the optical navigation sensor development of technology, some mouse products also can be made the profile of a pattern, obtain to write approximate operating handle with using pen.This series products uses common mouse to cause tired problem because of its mode of operation in order to reduce usually.

The thinking of pen type mouse is fine but can't be really as using pen comfortable; Because real pen also has its absolute coordinates forever in real physical world; Need outside the operation nib, " click keys " such operation not arranged yet; Adopt the pen type mouse of relative displacement mode work but to need integrate into this operation in every way,, perhaps distinguish at the different key of each coordinate points and operate with the coordinate basis of difference in computer and the start-stop of track itself.Handwriting pad can provide absolute coordinate even button, but extra cost problem is arranged.---usually in order to dress to normal mouse function at least can integrated two, three buttons---at first has key position and holds the position and hold the problem of dynamics to go up integrated at least one button at " pen ", the problem of operation push-button secondly can occur.If holding the position has button then can not when holding, firmly hold.If button does not loosen need be at button operation the time and holds moveable finger and remove operation push-button in that the finger tip that holds finger is next, cause the control ability of pen type mouse is reduced.

" vertical mouse " (upper surface is mouse of tilt outside hand significantly), the free activity of large-area plane bottom plate restriction wrist, it is movable that the roomy volume that is held in the hand is limiting finger again, and finger can not be participated in the control to displacement basically.

Summary of the invention

The utility model is a target with the comfort level of improving operation mouse posture and the function that increases Genius mouse; A kind of Genius mouse that changes operation posture is provided, makes people in using the mouse process, can use the posture of variation, also can have trajectory track mode more flexibly.

The utility model addresses this problem the scheme that is adopted: Genius mouse has at least two in-plane displancement sensors; Wherein the first in-plane displancement sensor is arranged on the flat bottom surface of mouse case, second be arranged on respect to the center of mouse ± the X axle or-shell place in the small-angle scope that the Y axle points to.The flat bottom surface of mouse case is used for moving of opposite working, the bottom surface of also placing simultaneously as equipment itself, and the first in-plane displancement sensor of mouse is the same with being provided with of conventional mouse, is set at this place, bottom surface.Difference of the present invention is, on mouse case by-X axle or+the X axle or-one of three orientation of Y axle indication, be provided with second in-plane displancement sensor.

Preferably, said mouse has one and switches switch, is used to control switch and uses the first in-plane displancement sensor also to be to use the second in-plane displancement sensor to carry out the work of trajectory track/displacement detecting.This can be a circuit changing switch of switching both circuits, perhaps only provides the CS form (such as to the mouse microprocessor unit switching signal being provided with the form that resembles the CPI change-over switch) of switch-over control signal.This can be a hand switch, also can be to lean on sensor (such as gravity sensor, the obliquity sensor etc.) switch of control automatically.

Preferably, said in-plane displancement sensor is for using the optical displacement sensor of means of optical navigation technique.

Preferably, the said second in-plane displancement sensor place is provided with a paraxonic keypad, and said keypad below is a keyswitch or a pressure transducer.Here, concerning button, the direction of transfer of power during with button (inner to mouse) is the below.

Because the second in-plane displancement sensing station is fit to a preferred button or the pressure transducer installed; This paper is divided into two kinds of situation with it; A kind of is that pressure passes through the transmission of in-plane displancement sensor assembly; Here be called with the in-plane displancement sensor be coaxial structure, a kind of is pressure through the transmission of in-plane displancement sensor assembly, claim that here this is the structure through the paraxonic of in-plane displancement sensor.

In order to express easily, regardless of the size and the shape of button cover plate, all be called keypad among this paper, and do not have a mind to use words such as " button ", " button stub " to distinguish the button cover plate of non-thin sheet form.

Preferably, below, the said second in-plane displancement sensor place is a keyswitch or a pressure transducer, and the said second in-plane displancement sensor uses as the keypad of said keyswitch or pressure transducer simultaneously.This needs this sensor and its supplementary structure to form a rigid matrix, holds and has the surplus of activity by the stent support of activity or by rail plate (guide groove), and the material exposure is arranged in mouse case.

Preferably, above or below the said pressure transducer, be provided with flexible member.Said flexible member can be the screw thread spring or the metal clips of metal, the perhaps spring element on plastics bases, the elastomeric pad of perhaps processing for rubber, silica gel, plastics elastomeric material.Flexible style of writing of mouse that this is used for to the pen type operation makes contact pressure that longer reaction stroke spatially arranged, and application of force size is controlled more easily.

Used pressure transducer; Can be cost with the rational any type of pressure transducer of volume (it is said that the sense principle is different; Mainly contain pressure resistance type, condenser type, piezoelectric type, tunnel current formula, resonant mode, thermocouple is box-like and electromagnetic type etc.), but the inventor thinks personally and uses micromechanics and the basic MEMS micro electromechanical structure sensor of microelectronics to have the advantage of aspects such as volume and cost.

Preferably, the said second in-plane displancement sensor with respect to mouse+the X axle or-the X axle or-the Y axle points to ± shell place in the 30 degree small-angle scopes.The situation that comprises 30 degree and-30 degree.

Preferably, the said second in-plane displancement sensor is at an end of the major axis of said mouse body, and this end is not main button distributed areas.

According to the physilogical characteristics of staff, armrest gives directions the main button by operation should be distributed in Genius mouse the place ahead, and by operations such as forefinger middle fingers, the rear mainly supplies palm to push and hold and button is not set.The suggestion here is: in the vertical layout mouse of front and back length greater than left and right sides width; The second in-plane displancement sensor is positioned at-Genius mouse one end (the also promptly relative other end) of Y axle indication with main key area; In the horizontal type layout mouse of left and right sides width greater than front and back length; The second in-plane displancement sensor is positioned on one end of right hand mouse+X axle indication or on one end of left hand mouse-X axle indication; So that the bottom of using the second in-plane displancement sensor to do cursor trajectory track its residing mouse of when work does not have main button distributed areas, do not influence little finger and nameless holding below." main button " is appreciated that the button that has large tracts of land button cover plate the common mouse right and left key for resembling.

Preferably, said mouse disposes button at the end face shell along the long limit of a side.Button is preferably placed at the middle part on said long limit.Dispose button at the middle part, edge of mouse end face one side along long limit and mainly can be convenient to operation push-button when using the second in-plane displancement sensor to do the work of cursor trajectory track, this vertical posture of the also convenient use of position that is equivalent to the main button of horizontal type mouse (side-to-side dimensions was greater than the mouse of front and back size when the positive attitude of mouse was placed) supplies forefinger and middle finger operation when holding.Description can guarantee using the second in-plane displancement sensor to do second duty of cursor trajectory track work like this, the displacement transducer in the work+there is button at mouse edge that the Y axle points to.

In the product of concrete application the utility model technical scheme; It has the external form approximate with conventional Genius mouse: the shell (bottom surface that flat bottom surface is placed as equipment itself simultaneously) that the flat bottom surface that moves with respect to workplace is arranged; The end face that shell forms for the support staff connects the ring week material between outer casing top surface and bottom surface.The said first in-plane displancement sensor is placed in said bottom surface.For convenience, with the Y direction of the said mouse of Y direction acute pyogenic infection of finger tip of the said first in-plane displancement sensor, this be not to use usually yet the person from the palm root lean on the mouse end face in depend on the bearing of trend at mouse end face place, i.e. the fore-and-aft direction of hand; With the X-direction of the said mouse of X-direction acute pyogenic infection of finger tip of the said first in-plane displancement sensor, this is vertical with the said Y direction in front, also is the left and right directions of hand; These two axles are all parallel with the bottom surface; Can be set to the Z axle of mouse with all vertical direction of these two axles, can know that this direction with foregoing bottom surface and workplace is vertical.More mostly notion that to encircle all materials is theoretical description; Especially combine its material fusion normal and bottom surface and end face in the product of reality after the somewhat complex design of ergonomics; The all materials of common ring the most significantly purposes are as the mouse left and right side that supplies clamping to hold, front and back sides then more and bottom surface and end face fusion.

Though and thereby the second in-plane displancement sensor of the present invention will provide the direction description---what use be same shell---different with aforementioned shell to bring the different operation posture.Mouse case is as the solid shell of a sealing; The direction that all can comprise 360 degree in all case surface with respect to any section at mouse center changes; Be arranged at the place of the gauge hole of case surface as the contact workplace; Can think that the section at this place is the workplace of this sensor, best angle workplace in other words.The mouse bottom surface is because be straight, so what variation the section of this section surface does not have.When the second in-plane displancement sensor with respect to the center of mouse ± the X axle or-shell place in the small-angle scope that the Y axle points to; Such as with respect to mouse ± the X axle or-the Y axle points to ± during shell place in the 30 degree small-angle scopes; Can think that it is in the bilateral 30 degree cone angle rings of three axles of the non-Y axle of mouse positive dirction position pointed on ring week, this is that the pivot shell that cone angle comprised that forms of a straight line that intersects 30 degree with axle is regional.But consider the complicacy of mouse case shape; Use that to pivot with respect to straight line certain center " point ", that intersect 30 degree with axle that the zone that coning angle comprised that forms describes be inappropriate; Can use the shell section and describe, promptly the second in-plane displancement sensor optimize the non-Y axle of present mouse positive dirction three axle indications point and section direction and said direction of principal axis differ the shell zone of forming with interior point at 30 degree on every side.The effect that this description is pursued be the second in-plane displancement sensor when its best angle workplace work, the angle of cut of the major axis of mouse and said best angle workplace at 60 degree to 90 scopes spent.

Also we can say; Make under the situation that the second in-plane displancement sensor installs for the tangent plane at its residing shell place by its best angle workplace at us; The major axis angle of cut of direction and mouse that requires its best angle workplace is in 0 to 30 degree scope, as preferred version.In the situation that occurs corner angle such as flat face and surface blending place; Curvature drastic change can appear on crest line; But have under the reality of certain area at the such thieff hatch of image plane displacement transducer; The in-plane displancement sensor assembly obviously can stride across this crest line zone that drastic change is arranged easily in mathematical theory, select setting angle by our needs.

We can say that also the angle of cut of the major axis of Z axle and mouse body that makes the said second in-plane displancement sensor is smaller or equal to 30 degree, as preferred version.

With the principle of work of optical flat displacement transducer, its best angle workplace obviously is the plane vertical with the direction of illumination of its sampling camera lens, and for stable relatively moving arranged, obviously the nearest face of " shell joint contacts " state is the best effort face.Section using protruding closure casing can avoid the best angle workplace of in-plane displancement sensor not stopped by other housing parts as best angle workplace mounting plane displacement transducer.With the principle of work of optical flat displacement transducer, its workplace can stand away, and also can differ certain angle with the best angle workplace, and still can work.If the optical flat displacement transducer is installed in the shell surface of one section recessed curvature; The workplace as desktop that its sensor and mouse case touch is unsettled to be had a segment distance or certain inclination angle is arranged; And still can operate as normal, obviously can think sensor at this moment be by the section of convex hull install and ignore this depression among a small circle on mathematical principle.Equally; If the mouse bottom surface shell of flat segments is filled up fixed sturcture such as pin and supports and leave desktop certain distance or angle; Its best effort face obviously is exactly this surface of contact that the influence of pad pin forms; Rather than the plane that contacts with the flat segments sheathing material, the surface of contact because resemble that desktop this large-scale plane obviously can't touch with the flat segments sheathing material of being propped by the pad pin there becoming.Such explanation is too to be entangled with the yardstick boundary that forms in mathematics for fear of this product design based on reality.

The flat bottom surface that the first in-plane displancement sensor is positioned at mouse is in order to obtain the stable contact posture; And the second in-plane displancement sensor is positioned at the zone of non-straight traditionally; The straight shell that do not form that also will try one's best (is further said; Reasonably turning edge do not occurring in the opereating specification, making the continuity that does not influence action and power in the operation tilting procedure of general range because crossing over the turnover corner), thus give hand fully contacting an ability of posture control; Give hand with level and smooth operating space smoothly, bring into play its operational advantage rapidly flexibly.Compare the vertical mouse of big base or compare the rocking bar that firm banking is arranged, both realized same healthy gesture, the freedom and flexibility more of taking action again.Do not thinking that such time spent can also select for use the first in-plane displancement sensor to use traditional mouse usage.

If the vertical line of the displacement detecting workplace of in-plane displancement sensor by sensor to the direction on plane simultaneously as the sensing (direction) of the sensing (direction) of this in-plane displancement sensor and corresponding workplace; Be appreciated that; The sensing of the second in-plane displancement sensor be first in-plane displancement sensor+X axle or-the X axle or-the Y axle points to; Which these three axis of orientations specifically select for use; Look basic the layout of mouse and decide; Promptly look mouse use the first in-plane displancement sensor as the work shift sensor and appear conventional mouse place with the duty situation under mouse be what distribution form, and the second in-plane displancement sensor is wanted preferably the end in the longest dimension of mouse three-dimensional, this mainly is the perpendicular elongate in shape in order better to imitate.

On the structure at the second in-plane displancement sensor place; When the second in-plane displancement sensor itself has the keypad function; Sensor forms a module, be installed in one with the similar elasticity of common key-press plate (framework) structure on, and have skin material to be exposed at the mouse case surface; Perhaps, sensor forms a module, is installed in the groove that of forming on the shell has the guide rail function, thereby can allows moving up and down of sensor assembly trace to be delivered to push action on the inner button or pressure transducer.

Preferably, said displacement sensor module is used the structure of sealing, isolates extraneous inner and the arc contact surface of smooth and continuous is provided with displacement sensor module with hyaline test.

Preferably; Said displacement sensor module is not used the structure of hyaline test sealing; Mind-set mouse case surface is extended with rings of material (loopful or incomplete ring) as the pressure contact ring in the optical sampling but center on, and the material contact that reaches the mouse case surface is perhaps arranged as the pressure contact point on the axial position of the optical centre-Y of module own.

Preferably, the hyaline test of the enclosed construction of said sensor assembly use has the smooth curved surface of evagination.Like this can be when using the second in-plane displancement sensor with different angle contact workplace motion transition smooth along slip-stream, better the action advantage of pen operation is held in simulation.

Obviously, this need use anti abrasive material, so that the lasting operate as normal of product.Select for use the tempered glass of hard wear resistant to do the hyaline test material, use special-purpose soft mouse pad, perhaps hyaline test is made removable form, all can be used for solving wear problem.

Preferably, said displacement sensor module has the metal framework or the metal contact that expose, is used for resisting wearing and tearing with the friction of workplace.

On the structure at the second in-plane displancement sensor place; When second in-plane displancement sensor side has the paraxonic keypad; Preferably, use rigidity " worker " font structure that the keypad outer contact is delivered to the place at the center of closely finding a view, especially with respect to its coordinate system-position of Y direction.Because the center that optical flat displacement transducer camera lens is found a view can not be stopped, thus try one's best just become paraxonic structure best choice near this center, especially at the center of finding a view-position of the Y direction custom of suitable use.Make the place of beam column outside core pass through the place that the displacement module layer can be delivered to the keypad outer contact center of pressing close to find a view, and mechanical axis is basic coaxial with displacement module, can also save horizontal space.The keypad internal pressure contact of the beam column other end can " hang " displacement module " on " side.

Recommend; Said keypad exposes the pressure contact site and is the frame loops around the said second in-plane displancement sensor; For around the loopful at the center of finding a view or incomplete ring, be preferably annular, and outside mouse case, be higher than by around the second in-plane displancement sensor assembly.

Use design of the present invention; Can keep the right to choose and the possibility that provide the pen type operation on the basis of complete mouse, also can on the basis of pen type mouse, provide the selection possibility of conventional mouse, and with respect to the MousePen or the writing pencil of elongated imitation traditional pen; Volume is roomy; Abundant with contacting of hand and free, can in reply " button ", keep the better controlling ability, between traditional pen and traditional mouse, find rational binding site and equilibrium point.

With respect to the handwriting pad writing pencil; Can realize hand-written experience cheaply; Even provide pressure to discern; Expensive and the high volume of having avoided handwriting pad to bring, though because the restriction of principle of work possibly temporarily can't accomplish the writing pencil of joining handwriting pad such as Premium Features such as penholder spinfunctions, can provide a good cheaply compromise to select.

Embodiment

Fig. 1 is one, and wherein Figure 1A double as spatiality is illustrated with the common vertical mouse scheme that layout is a basic engineering of putting, and right side three arrow coordinates come auxiliary description to Genius mouse as the state coordinate of this mouse.

Most of mouses present the approaching elongate in shape of palm that is placed on desktop with the people usually; And its in-plane displancement sensor that is installed in the bottom surface with about as the X axis of control cursor; Axial with front and back as the Y of control cursor, use it as the description coordinate of mouse body here.Figure 1B has showed other visual angle.

This mouse scheme has and common similar external form of mouse and layout; The arc loam cake 1 that a support palm is arranged; (Y axle positive dirction is near the mouse edge) has the main button (left button 3, right button 5, roller 4) that supplies finger (forefinger middle finger) operation that staff protracts forwardly; Play the flat bottom surface 2 of stabilization when having a confession to be placed on desktop and slip, there is the first in-plane displancement sensor 6 bottom surface.Different is; Place pointing to respect to mouse coordinates-Y axle also has the second in-plane displancement sensor 7; Also dispose a bigger button 8 (keypad) in the outer casing upper cover side that takes in addition, in the depression 9 of bottom surface, more disposed other button 10 and roller 11.

Such mouse scheme; Not only can do displacement detecting and use the posture operation mouse shown in Fig. 2 A when (can be called first state) at the use first in-plane displancement sensor; Can also do displacement detecting with the second in-plane displancement sensor and use the operation posture shown in Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C when (can be called second state) switching to; Wherein Fig. 2 B is close with the gesture that holds a pen, and Fig. 2 C is close with the gesture of holding rocking bar.The button 8 that increase at loam cake this moment is because be in the front edge of staff, and at the middle part of short transverse up and down, compares the operation that the button 3,5 that is in the top now is more suitable for forefinger and middle finger.Because be in left side be fit to the operation of thumb at the button 10 and the roller 11 of mouse flat bottom surface this moment.At this moment, button 8 be in the relative second in-plane displancement sensor+Y direction, loam cake 1 be in the relative second in-plane displancement sensor+X-direction, bottom surface 2 be in the relative second in-plane displancement sensor-X-direction.Slick and sly and have top cover one side of main button to be fit to four to refer to that a side holds and operate, straight bottom surface one side is fit to thumb one side and holds and operate.

Fig. 3 is that two in-plane displancement sensors carry out the synoptic diagram that duty is switched.6 is the first in-plane displancement sensor among the figure, and Fig. 7 is the second in-plane displancement sensor, and 12 and 13 is illumination LED, and 14 is desktop.Fig. 3 A is for using the state of the first in-plane displancement working sensor, and Fig. 3 B is for using the state of the second in-plane displancement working sensor.The arrow indication is the coordinate direction with respect to user's desktop.

Fig. 4 is the state language synoptic diagram to mouse.With respect to this mouse, obviously dimension A is its longest dimension, and the dimension C of dimension B and mouse thickness direction is not the longest dimension; Comfortable for what use at second state; The position that the second in-plane displancement sensor of recommending is installed will make the longest dimension of mouse and the crossing angle of workplace spend to 90 degree 60, and obviously limit A and the pairing scope of limit C meet the requirements most among the figure, if but select limit A one side; It is placed to the bottom side and workplace is approaching when then working; With work little finger one side contacts of the effect of holding rather than forefinger one side flexibly not really flexibly and mainly, the zone of forefinger contact obviously is inappropriate to being blank.Obviously it is more suitable to stay upper area to main button at second state.In addition, as the mouse of long strip footing, obviously limit B is " long limit " with limit D, because be four to refer to the main body held on these both sides of second state, so near the just in time operation of suitable forefinger middle finger of the button that the middle part on (front portion) long limit, is provided with is the setting of recommendation.The longest dimension (at second state) of mouse is spent to 90 degree scopes 60 with the angle that workplace intersects; Both guaranteed the space that holding of hand is enough easily; Guarantee easily that also the part of holding in the hand is unlikely too roomy, can guarantee to make mouse to present the rectangular state that erects." angle of cut of the intersection point of its best angle workplace and said the longest dimension A is spent to 30 degree scopes 0 " that obvious this recommendation is fit to the second in-plane displancement sensor is settled.

It is the mouse scheme top view of basic engineering with horizontal layout that Fig. 5 is one.Put layout and compare with vertical, its main button 3 distributes along long limit with 5, is more suitable for direct use at second state.This moment the second in-plane displancement sensor with respect to the first in-plane displancement sensor, it the first in-plane displancement sensor+X axle direction.The situation that corresponding left hand uses, will appear at the relative first in-plane displancement sensor-directions X.

Fig. 6 is that another is the mouse scheme of basic engineering with horizontal layout, has increased the button 16 that is fit to the thumb operation at first state, and a function key 15.Function key 15 can be used as common CPI switching signal key, the signal key that perhaps switches as first state and the second state mode of operation.Fig. 6 A is a top view, and Fig. 6 B is a three-dimensional view.7 is the second in-plane displancement sensor among the figure.

Fig. 7 is one group of second in-plane displancement sensor construction schematic diagram.For ease; With pictorial representation, wherein 101 is common optical flat displacement transducer to main parts, and 102 for modularization and there is material to reach the outer optical flat displacement transducer of mouse case; 103 is microswitch; Keyswitch in other words, 104 is pressure sensor component, 105 is flexible member.111 is the mouse loam cake, and 112 is the mouse bottom surface, and 113 is the shell of the second in-plane displancement sensor side, and 114 is the load base plate fixing with respect to shell.Fig. 7 A is that modular in-plane displancement sensor 102 is installed in the situation on the microswitch 103 as keypad; Needing 102 modules like this is that trace is movable with respect to 103; Thereby thereby can be transmitted to trigger switch action on 103 the contact to power; This needs 102 employings similarly to be installed in the structure on a travel(l)ing rest or the elastic support with the common key-press plate; Perhaps adopt be installed in the guide rail/guide groove and also can be in guide rail/guide groove the structure of forced-slip, so not only can fix its normal position but also can when stressed, power be transmitted to keyswitch.102 with 103 coaxial from the conduction angle of power.

Preferably, 102 adopt the structure of hyaline test encapsulation thief hole, and its outside contact part 106 adopts the arc dome, like this can be free along sliding inclination when second state is worked, and the feel of pen operation is held in simulation.Transparency descends but such structure may occur that hyaline test is scratched for a long time influences the problem of performance.

Less preferred, 102 thief hole does not seal, and reaches the mouse case surface but have around the outside contact part of ring-type thief hole (camera lens unthreaded hole) ring-type or incomplete.When outside contact part is incomplete ring-type, its material with respect to second in-plane displancement sensor sampling camera lens-Y axle place is the center, perhaps for be positioned at second in-plane displancement sensor sampling camera lens-contact at Y axle place.The outside contact part of discontinuous arcwall face or impunctate outside contact part, such as annular because the existence of contact plane is arranged, on the operation fluency than continuous arcwall face or point-like weaker.

" outside contact part " is used for describing keypad or its alternative structure power contact point outside mouse case when being pressed, and here is the place that contacts with desktop; " interior contact site " 109 is used for describing keypad or its alternative structure power contact point in mouse case when being pressed, and is the place that power is transmitted downwards, here is the place that 102 modules contact with the contact of microswitch 103.Can also be the place that contacts with the force-detecting position of pressure sensor component, perhaps with the place of a side contacts of flexible member, or the like.

Finally, load base plate 114 produces reacting forces and withstands 103 base, thus make 103 can measure this power effect.

The structure difference of Fig. 7 B is in working pressure sensor element 104 and replaces the microswitch 103 among Fig. 7 A, thus can be in the second state sensing displacement size of pressure sensor.This track that can export the band pressure information is used for application such as drawing, also can be through the program of mouse embedded micro-processor unit, and the value that pressure threshold value is upper and lower is converted into the signal of open and close.

The right side legend 108 of Fig. 7 B has been illustrated a kind of arcwall face hyaline test that do not use, but stretches out the second in-plane displancement sensor assembly of a material post (contact) in optical centre-Y side, and 106 external contact are a material post; Legend 109 has been illustrated a kind of arcwall face hyaline test that do not use, but forms the module of ring-shaped material contact around optical centre.Be appreciated that being 108 and 109 is synoptic diagram of centre section character, but be not the practical structures figure of in-plane displancement sensor assembly.

Structure shown in Fig. 7 C; Sensing element on the power bang path is a pressure sensor component 104; But on the power bang path, also have elastic component 105, flexible member 105 can have various ways, can be a spring that is clipped between 114 and 105; Perhaps can be a simple resilient material pad (such as sheet rubber), or the elastic base (limiting its scope of activities by other spacing material 114) of a setting pressure sensor element that is connected as a single entity with the on material.

Fig. 7 D is not both, and power is passed to resilient material 105 earlier, passes to pressure sensor component 104 again.

Fig. 7 E has shown that a kind of second in-plane displancement sensor place uses the structure of paraxonic button.This mouse cross section be the left side be+Y to the right for-Y to; Then paraxonic keypad 110 comes perception to push through its outer portion 106 that touches in self optical centre-Y side; The center of walking around displacement transducer through the beam column 115 of centre pass through the displacement transducer layer with 106 deliver to displacement transducer the below; And its rigid structure can guarantee power is transmitted to contact keyswitch 103 again in interior contact site 109 places of displacement transducer top.

Fig. 8, Fig. 9 are the structural representations of one group of second in-plane displancement sensor bypass keypad.The left side is a side view among the figure, and the right side is a stereographic map.

Wherein A, B, C are that power is walked the paraxonic of displacement transducer fully and is not penetrated into the structure above the displacement transducer; 116 for leaving the hole of displacement transducer sampling camera lens among the figure; 117 is installation (axle) end of keypad, and 109 indications are the interior contact site of contact keyswitch or pressure sensor component, and the outside contact part of 106 indications is a not exclusively ring in Fig. 8 A; Being a loopful in Fig. 8 B, is a contact in Fig. 8 C.

Wherein E, D, F are for guiding to the interior contact site of paraxonic power through " worker " font structure three kinds of structures of displacement sensor module top.Wherein the interior contact site 109 of D is a ring surface, and outside contact part 106 is the contact, the single beam column 115 that passes through; The interior contact site 109 of E is a ring surface, and outside contact part 106 is an annular; The interior contact site 109 of F is the plane, and outside contact part 106 is an annular, has two to pass through beam column 115.Between the outside contact part, can be integrative-structure in beam column is connected, also can be the rigid structure that fits together.
