The purpose of this utility model be to avoid the weak point of above-mentioned existing keyboard and provide a kind of compact, can adapt to that ergonomics requires, the elegant in appearance and convenient novel planar formula computer keyboard that is suitable for.

The purpose of this utility model can reach by following measure: the utility model is formed computer keyboard by button, pilot lamp, P.e.c., and buttons all on the keyboard are all arranged in the in line mode of alignment anyhow.Digital computation input field and the cursor control zone is overlapping combines on the companion keyboard, function locking key and its pilot lamp are concentrated and are set together, and "enter" key", Backspace key and Delete (Del) key are arranged on the space bar below.

The utility model keyboard can also adopt plane formula, and the separation boundary line is not set between the major and minor keyboard.Digital computation district on the companion keyboard and cursor control zone merge, and the function of using a Num Look key to carry out between two districts is switched.Companion keyboard can be arranged on the Master Keyboard middle part.

All right three functions (Num. \ Caps. \ Scroll.) of the utility model keyboard, its corresponding pilot lamp of locking key is corresponding respectively, concentrates to be arranged on the companion keyboard top.Space bar is divided into two, Backspace key and Delete (Del) key, "enter" key" are placed respectively under two space bars.

The utility model keyboard can also be done an arc flash with space bar lower edge and shift key outer rim, and the arc flash height of space bar and shift key is when button is pressed, and is concordant or high slightly with other key face.

The utility model keyboard can also newly be added with the form operating key on keyboard.The work form switch, amplify, dwindle, control function such as task termination concentrates on respectively on the corresponding form operating key of new interpolation.

Description of drawings of the present utility model is as follows:

Fig. 1 is a plane structure chart of the present utility model.

Fig. 2 is the plane structure chart of another embodiment of the utility model.

Fig. 3 is the plane and the construction profile of the utility model space bar and shift key.

Fig. 4 is the planar structure change procedure synoptic diagram that digital computation district on the utility model companion keyboard and cursor control zone unite two into one.

Below in conjunction with description of drawings the utility model is described in further detail: as shown in Figure 1, all buttons all are in line arrangements of aliging anyhow.Function key F1-F12 abuts against the top of Master Keyboard.As shown in Figure 4, digital computation district and cursor control zone on the companion keyboard unite two into one, and nestle up Master Keyboard the right.In Fig. 1, use a Num Look key to carry out function switching between two districts; Three function locking keys and pilot lamp are concentrated the companion keyboard top after correspondence is arranged on merging; The outer rim of the shift key at two ends, the left and right sides and the lower edge of space bar all are provided with the arc flash; Master Keyboard bottom also is added with four form operating keys.Whole keyboard seems concision and compact, elegant in appearance, and is very easy to use.As can be seen, all buttons still are arranged on the keyboard with Fig. 1 example is in line alignedly like that anyhow on the key layout figure of plane formula computer keyboard as shown in Figure 2.It is on the basis of Fig. 1 example, and companion keyboard is arranged on the middle part of Master Keyboard, and Master Keyboard therefrom is divided into two, and function locking key and corresponding pilot lamp still are arranged on the companion keyboard upper end.The characteristics of this button distributed architecture are the distances of having drawn back between operator's two hands, make both hands can divide the operation of coming, more handy, Energy and comfort without interfering with each other.As shown in Figure 3, space bar lower edge and shift key outer rim are done an arc flash, and the arc flash height of space bar and shift key is when button is pressed, and is concordant or high slightly with other key face.

The utility model is after adopting above-mentioned measure, normal nature is put in the hand position during operation, finger need only move up and down or bending stretch just can be operated freely like a cork along in line button, does not need wrist and swings continually, strokes gropingly, so be difficult for producing tired so that cause damage.Reduce button and cancel separation boundary line area occupied between the major and minor keyboard by merging subregion, the surface size that need not reduce button just can reduce keyboard area, makes whole plane formula keyboard seem compact.Companion keyboard after the merging is the right at Master Keyboard, also it can be arranged on the Master Keyboard middle part, and two parts about Master Keyboard is divided into allow the right-hand man divide the operation of coming without interfering with each other, can be more free and relaxed.The digital computation district that merges on the companion keyboard of back carries out with Num Look key with the switching of the function between the cursor control zone, and the quantity of key has been lacked and function is unaffected.Operate Delete (Del) key, "enter" key", Backspace key respectively with the left hand and right hand thumb, the movement range of hand is little, operates and convenient smoothly, again control easily.The arc flash of space bar and shift key can be used to indicate between the operational zone, can also prevent "enter" key", Backspace key and Delete (Del) key generation maloperation.Three corresponding respectively concentrating of its corresponding pilot lamp of function (Num. \ Caps. \ Scroll.) locking key are arranged on the companion keyboard top, are particularly conducive to and observe and operation.The new form operating key that adds can make form control more convenient.
