Detailed Description

The technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. Other embodiments may be derived from these embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art without the exercise of inventive faculty.

An embodiment of the present application provides an input device, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the input device in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 1, the input device 10 may include: a first body 101, a second body 102 and a connector 103. Wherein, the first body 101 at least includes: a first functional component 1011 and a first interface component 1012. The second body 102 includes at least: a second functional component 1021 and a second interface component 1022. The connector 103 connects the first body 101 and the second body 102 so that the first body 101 and the second body 102 have different positional relationships.

Fig. 2 is a top view of a first positional relationship in an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 2, when the first body 101 and the second body 102 are in the first positional relationship through the connector 103, the first interface component 1012 and the second interface component 1022 are connected, so that the first functional component 1011 and the second functional component 1021 are in electrical communication. At this time, the input device is in an open state, and can be used by the user.

In practical applications, the first interface component or the second interface component may be a spring-loaded probe (Pogopin). When the spring type probe is in a compression state, the first interface component is connected with the second interface component. Because the spring type probe has better elasticity, the first interface component and the second interface component can be well connected. Meanwhile, the spring type probe is small in size, so that the situation that too much space in the input device is occupied can be avoided, the size of the input device can be smaller, and the spring type probe is convenient for a user to carry.

Fig. 3 is a first top view of a second positional relationship in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 3, when the first body 101 and the second body 102 are in the second positional relationship through the connecting member 103, the first interface component 1012 and the second interface component 1022 are disconnected, so that the first functional component 1011 and the second functional component 1021 are electrically disconnected. At this time, the input device is in the off state, and the user cannot use the input device.

In practical applications, the input device may be any device capable of acquiring the operation of the user, converting the operation of the user into an operation signal, and transmitting the operation signal to the electronic device connected to the input device. For example: mouse, keyboard, etc. The following describes a specific operation process of the input device using a mouse as an example.

First, it should be noted that: the first body of the input device corresponds to the front half of the mouse, and the second body of the input device corresponds to the rear half of the mouse, but the first body of the input device may also correspond to the rear half of the mouse, and the second body of the input device may also correspond to the front half of the mouse, which is not limited herein.

When the user need use the mouse, can turn over the connecting piece in the preceding half of mouse and the latter half of mouse through the mouse and turn over, first interface module and the second interface module of latter half are connected up to the first interface module of preceding half, and because the first functional component of preceding half is connected with the first interface module of preceding half, the second functional component of latter half is connected with the second interface module of latter half, consequently, when first interface module is connected with second interface module, first functional component can electric intercommunication with the second functional component, like this, mouse just is equivalent to and is in the open mode, just can supply user normal use.

When the user does not need to use the mouse, the front half part of the mouse and the rear half part of the mouse can be turned back through the connecting piece in the mouse until the first interface component of the front half part is disconnected with the second interface component of the rear half part, so that the first function component of the front half part and the second function component of the rear half part are also electrically disconnected, and the mouse at the moment is equivalently in a closed state. At the moment, the user carries out any operation on the mouse, the mouse cannot convert the operation of the user into an operation signal, the operation information cannot be sent to the electronic equipment connected with the mouse, and the problem that the operation signal is output due to the fact that the user touches the mouse by mistake can be avoided.

In practical applications, when the user does not need to use the input device, in order to be able to conveniently store the input device, the second position may be the farthest position that can be reached when the first body and the second body are folded from the first position. Fig. 4 is a second top view of the second positional relationship in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 4 in conjunction with fig. 2 and fig. 3, when the user does not need to use the input device, the user may fold the first body 101 and the second body 102 from the first positional relationship in fig. 2, and continue to fold until the second positional relationship in fig. 3 is reached, that is, the first body 101 and the second body 102 form the second positional relationship in fig. 4. Since the second positional relationship in fig. 4 enables the relative positions of the first body and the second body to be more stable and saves more storage space than the second positional relationship in fig. 3, adopting the second positional relationship in fig. 4 can facilitate storage of the input device when the input device is not used.

According to the input device provided by the embodiment of the application, the first interface assembly and the second interface assembly are arranged separately from the connecting piece, so that only mechanical connection exists at the connecting piece in the input device, and no electrical connection exists. When the first body and the second body are in a first position relation through the connecting piece, the first interface component is connected with the second interface component, so that the first functional component is electrically communicated with the second functional component; and when the first body and the second body are in the second position relation through the connecting piece, the first interface component and the second interface component can be disconnected, so that the first functional component and the second functional component are disconnected electrically. Therefore, no wire is present at the folded position of the input device, and even if the input device is repeatedly folded, the problems of abrasion, poor contact and the like of the wire inside the input device are avoided.

Further, in the input device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the input device may be wired, wireless, wired plus wireless, and is not limited herein.

For wired input devices, the first functional component may include: an input component and a transmission component. The second functional component may include: and a detection component. The input assembly is used for detecting input parameters, the transmission assembly is used for transmitting input data to the processing equipment, and the detection assembly is used for detecting motion parameters of the input device.

Taking the input device as a wired mouse as an example, when a user clicks a left button of the mouse, or clicks a right button of the mouse, or slides a pulley in the middle of the mouse, the input component can detect the operation of the user. The detection component can detect the user's operation when the user slides the mouse. Thereafter, the transmission component transmits the detected operation of the user to the processing device.

For a wireless input device, the first functional component may include: and an input component. The second functional component may include: detection subassembly and battery pack. The input device further includes a transmission component, where the transmission component may be disposed in the first functional component, or disposed in the second functional component, which is not limited herein. The input assembly is used for detecting input parameters, the detection assembly is used for detecting motion parameters of the input device, the battery assembly is used for providing electric energy for the input device, and the transmission assembly is used for transmitting input data to the processing equipment.

Taking the input device as a wireless mouse as an example, when a user clicks a left button of the mouse, or clicks a right button of the mouse, or slides a pulley in the middle of the mouse, the input component can detect the operation of the user. The detection component can detect the user's operation when the user slides the mouse. Thereafter, the transmission component transmits the detected operation of the user to the processing device. In the process, the battery component can provide power for the mouse, so that the mouse can continuously work.

For wired plus wireless input devices, the first functional component may include: an input component and a transmission component. The second functional component may include: detection subassembly, transmission subassembly and battery pack. The input assembly is used for detecting input parameters, the detection assembly is used for detecting motion parameters of the input device, the battery assembly is used for providing electric energy for the input device, and the transmission assembly is used for transmitting input data to the processing equipment.

Taking the input device as a wired and wireless mouse as an example, when a user clicks a left mouse button, or clicks a right mouse button, or slides a pulley in the middle of the mouse, the input component can detect the operation of the user. The detection component can detect the user's operation when the user slides the mouse. Thereafter, the transmission component transmits the detected operation of the user to the processing device. The transmission component here may be a transmission component in the first functional component, and may also be a transmission component in the second functional component. Specifically, when the mouse is connected to the processing device by a wire, the transmission component may be a transmission component in the first functional component. The transmission component here may be a transmission component in the second functional component when the mouse is connected to the processing device by wireless. When the mouse is connected with the processing equipment through wireless, the battery component can provide electric energy for the mouse, so that the mouse can continuously work. When the mouse is connected to the processing device by a wire, the processing device can charge the battery assembly.

Further, in the input device provided in the embodiments of the present application, the connecting member is a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the supporting surface, and the supporting surface is a surface that contacts with the support when the input device is used.

Generally, during use of the input device, the input device needs to be placed on a support for use by a user. Taking a mouse as an example, when a user uses the mouse, the user can place the mouse on a desktop, so that the user can hold the mouse to click and slide. Here, the support is a table top.

When the position relation of the first body and the second body needs to be switched, the first body and the second body can be smoothly switched from the first position relation to the second position relation or from the second position relation to the first position relation through the rotating shaft.

Fig. 5 is a schematic position diagram of the rotating shaft in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 5, the input device 10 is placed on the support 501, a surface of the input device 10 contacting with the support 501 is a support surface 502, and the rotating shaft 503 is perpendicular to the support surface 502. Compare in pivot and holding surface parallel, set the pivot to perpendicular with the holding surface, when switching the position relation of first body and second body, can need not to take up input device, and can directly rotate first body and second body on the supporter, make things convenient for more and save trouble.

To avoid the situation that the first interface component is connected to the second interface component when the first body and the second body are in the second position relationship, referring to fig. 5, the rotation axis 503 may be connected to the edge 504 of the first body and the edge 505 of the second body, and the edge 504 of the first body and the edge 505 of the second body are the edges of the first body 101 and the second body 102 perpendicular to the supporting surface 502 when the input device 10 is used. Therefore, the first body and the second body have larger rotating space when rotating relatively, so that the first interface component and the second interface component can be far away when the first body and the second body are in the second position relation, and the first interface component is prevented from contacting with the second interface component.

In practical application, the rotating shaft is a damping rotating shaft. Therefore, when the first body and the second body are in the first position relationship through rotation, the first body and the second body can be kept in the first position relationship, and the input device can be further kept in a normal use state; when first body and second body are in the second position relation through rotating, can make first body and second body keep in the second position relation, avoid first interface module and second interface module to be connected, and then avoid input device to carry out the maloperation, be convenient for simultaneously fix input device in a position of easily accomodating. And, the damping pivot can also play the cushioning effect at first body and second body relative rotation, avoids first body and second body to take place fiercely to collide and make its inside subassembly damage.

Further, in the input device provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the input device in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 6, the first body 101 has a first arc surface 601, and the second body 102 has a second arc surface 602. When the first body 101 and the second body 102 are in the first position relationship, one side of the first arc surface 601 is connected to one side of the second arc surface 602, and the first arc surface 601 and the second arc surface 602 form an arc surface.

Like this, when the user used input device, first body and second body were in first position relation, and first cambered surface forms an arcwall face with the second cambered surface, and the arc of palm is similar when this arcwall face was crooked with people's hand nature, and above-mentioned arcwall face can make the more nature that the user hand was put when operating input device, makes the user obtain better operation experience.

However, when the hand of a person is naturally bent, the curvature of the palm in the front half is different from that in the back half. In order to further improve the operation experience of the user on the input device, the radian of the first cambered surface and the second cambered surface can be different. Specifically, the radian of first cambered surface can be made to be less than the radian of second cambered surface, and like this, when the user was holding input device, user's palm just can present the flagging gesture of nature, makes the user make more laborsaving at click input device, so, can further promote the user and experience input device's operation.

Further, in the input device provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the input device in the embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 7, a first fixing portion 701 is disposed on the first body 101, and a second fixing portion 702 is disposed on the second body 102. When the first body 101 and the second body 102 are in the first positional relationship, the first fixing portion 701 is connected to the second fixing portion 702, so that the first body 101 and the second body 102 can be maintained in the first positional relationship.

In the specific use process, when a user needs to use the input device, the first body and the second body can be rotated to the first position relation, and then the first fixing part and the second fixing part are connected, so that the first body and the second body can be always kept in the first position relation and cannot be changed, and the user can always stably and continuously use the input device.

In a specific implementation process, the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion may be connected in, but not limited to, the following two ways:

in the first mode, the first fixing part is a buckle, and the second fixing part is a fastener.

Specifically, the buckle can be inserted into the fastener when the first body and the second body are in the first positional relationship, and the fastener can secure the buckle in the fastener, thereby enabling the first body and the second body to be maintained in the first positional relationship. When the buckle needs to be taken out of the fastener, the fastener is loosened, so that the buckle is taken out of the fastener, and the first body and the second body can rotate freely.

In practical application, the fastener can be arranged on the first body, and the fastener is arranged on the second body; the fastener may also be disposed on the first body, and the buckle may be disposed on the second body, which is not limited herein.

In a second mode, the first fixing portion is a first magnetic component, and the second fixing portion is a second magnetic component.

Specifically, when the first body and the second body are in the first positional relationship, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can attract each other, thereby maintaining the first body and the second body in the first positional relationship. When the first body or the second body needs to be rotated, the first body or the second body only needs to be rotated by force, so that the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part exceed the attraction range, and convenience and trouble saving are achieved.

It should be noted that: the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are each made of a material having magnetism, and the magnetism of the first magnetic member is opposite to that of the second magnetic member. If the magnetism of the first magnetic part is positive, the magnetism of the second magnetic part is negative; conversely, if the magnetism of the first magnetic member is negative, the magnetism of the second magnetic member is positive.

In addition, the first body can be further provided with a third fixing part, and the second body can be further provided with a fourth fixing part. When the first body and the second body are in the second position relation, the third fixing part and the fourth fixing part can be connected, so that the first body and the second body are kept in the second position relation, and the first interface assembly and the second interface assembly are prevented from being connected due to the fact that the input device shakes.

While the preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, additional variations and modifications in those embodiments may occur to those skilled in the art once they learn of the basic inventive concepts. Therefore, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as including preferred embodiments and all alterations and modifications as fall within the scope of the application.
