Abstract
An ergonomic keyboard suitable for one-handed operation comprises a shell, a circuit board arranged in the shell, a lead connected with an output circuit on the circuit board, and a plurality of keys arranged on the front surface of the shell. The keys are divided into more than five cell arrangements and cell arrangement close to the cell arrangements according to the shape of the hands, and the keys of each cell are arranged in a ring shape. The key ring can be a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a waist-shaped ring or a rectangular ring. When the keyboard is used, the keyboard is operated by one hand, one hand can be left for writing or other works, and the keyboard can be used by the left hand and the right hand alternately, so that the labor intensity is reduced. Compared with the existing common standard keyboard, the volume is reduced by about 60%, and the use space can be reduced.
Description
The utility model relates to a kind of computer input device---keyboard.
Existing keyboard is a strip, and its button generally is divided into four districts: major key panel, function key area, editor's keypad and numeric keypad.The Master Keyboard district is positioned at the lower left of keyboard, and function key area is positioned at the top one row of keyboard, and the editing key district is positioned at the right side in major key panel, and the numeric keypad is positioned at the rightmost side of keyboard.Key arrangement mode in above-mentioned each district be " matrix form ", the upper surface that makes whole strip keyboard almost all branch be covered with button.Because existing keyboard is above-mentioned structure, the user must bimanualness could finish the input service of signal fast, in addition, is difficult to reduce the volume of keyboard.
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and a kind of miniature keyboard that is applicable to one-handed performance is provided.
The purpose of this utility model is achieved in that to be improved the key arrangement mode of existing keyboard, shape according to staff, be the distribution of the five fingers and expanded range thereof to the button subregion, it is movable that each finger is convenient in certain key zone, thus one hand is finished the signal input service.Lead that the keyboard that the utility model provides comprises shell, in the enclosure circuit board is installed, link to each other with output circuit on the circuit board and a plurality of buttons that are arranged on outer casing frontispiece, button is divided into sub-district more than five according to the shape of staff and arranges and arrange the equal circular array of the button of each sub-district near the sub-district.The button ring can be annulus, elliptical ring, waist shape ring, straight-flanked ring.For the ease of touch-typing operation and alleviate the fatigue strength of hand, the utility model has also been taked following technical measures:
1. in button annular sub-district, the finger boot flag is set.
2. in the bottom in keyboard case front the palm support is set.
The keyboard that the utility model provides is not only identical with existing keypad function, and has the following advantages:
1. one-handed performance when using can be vacated a hand and do notes or other work.
2. but the right-hand man is used alternatingly, and reduces labour intensity.
3. volume only is about 40% of existing normal standard keyboard, locational space capable of reducing using.
The drawing explanation of the utility model accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a kind of front view according to keyboard provided by the utility model, and this figure shows the subregion arrangement mode of button;
Fig. 2 is second kind of front view according to keyboard provided by the utility model;
Fig. 3 is the side view of Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, has adopted partial cutaway to represent the shape of button and structure, the shape of button sub-district among the figure;
