Description

input device

This case relates to an input device, and in particular, to an input device applied to an electronic device.

Due to the differences in everyone's hands, the angles provided by a single mouse currently on the market cannot be suitable for different users at the same time. In addition, even if a single mouse on the market meets the needs of a specific user based on human factors engineering, it will still cause fatigue to the user in the long run if the wrist is maintained in a fixed posture. On the other hand, a single type of mouse on the market is designed for one of the left- and right-handed audiences, and cannot be widely used for both left- and right-handed audiences.

This case provides an input device that can solve the shortcomings of currently available input devices that cannot be adapted to the angles of use of different users, are prone to fatigue after long-term use, and are not widely applicable to left- and right-handed people.

An input device in this case includes a base, an input body and a positioning member. The base has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The input body is pivoted on the base and can rotate relative to the base to selectively cover the first side or the second side of the base. The positioning component is detachably disposed on the first side or the second side of the base. When the input body covers the second side of the base, the positioning component is adapted to be detachably disposed on the exposed first side of the base. When the input body covers the first side of the base, the positioning member is adapted to be detachably disposed on the exposed second side of the base.

Based on the above, in the input device of this case, the input body is pivoted on the base and can rotate relative to the base, so as to provide different usage angles for different users to operate, and to appropriately reduce fatigue. When the input body covers the third part of the base, When the input body covers the first side of the base, the positioning member is adapted to be detachably disposed on the exposed second side of the base. Widely applicable to two different audiences, left and right-handers.

The positioning member 130 is detachably provided on the first side 111 or the second side 112 of the base 110 .

As shown in FIG. 1 , when the fourth side 122 of the input body 120 covers the second side 112 of the base 110 , the third side 121 of the input body 120 exposes the first side 111 of the base 110 , and the positioning member 130 is adapted as follows. As shown in FIG. 4 , it is detachably provided on the exposed first side 111 of the base 110 . The input device 100 shown in Figure 1 can be used by left-handers.

When the input body 120 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 4 relative to the base 110 about the positive The fourth side 122 of 120 exposes the second side 112 of the base 110, and the positioning member 130 is adapted to be detachably disposed on the second side 112 of the base 110. The input device 100 shown in FIG. 6 can be used by right-handers. Therefore, the input device 100 of the present invention can be widely applied to two different audiences: left- and right-handers.

In other words, when the input body 120 shields the second side 112 of the base 110 , the positioning member 130 is adapted to be detachably disposed on the exposed first side 111 of the base 110 . When the input body 120 shields the first side 111 of the base 110 , the positioning member 130 is adapted to be detachably disposed on the exposed second side 112 of the base 110 .

Please refer to Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5. The base 110 has a first slot 113, a second slot 114, a first magnetic component 115 and a first rotating shaft 116. The first slot 113 is On the first side 111, a second slot 114 is located on the second side 112.

The input body 120 has a second rotating shaft 123. The second rotating shaft 123 is pivoted on the first rotating shaft 116, and the locking member 140 is passed through the second rotating shaft 123 of the input body 120 and the first rotating shaft 116 of the base 110, so that the input body 120 is pivoted on the base 110. In addition, the elastic member 150 is disposed in the input body 120 , and the two ends of the elastic member 150 respectively abut the first rotating shaft 116 and the locking member 140 of the base 110 .

The positioning component 130 includes an insertion portion 131 , a resisting portion 132 and a second magnetic component 133 . The resisting portion 132 is connected to the insertion portion 131 , and the insertion portion 131 is suitable for detachable insertion into the first slot 113 or the second slot 114 of the base 110 . The second magnetic component 133 corresponds to the first magnetic component 115 in position. When the insertion portion 131 is inserted into the first slot 113 on the first side 111 of the base 110 or the second magnetic component 133 on the second side 112 of the base 110 When inserting into the second slot 114 , the second magnetic component 133 and the first magnetic component 115 are adapted to magnetically attract each other, so that the positioning component 130 is detachably disposed on the first side 111 or the second side 112 of the base 110 .

Please refer to Figures 2, 7, 8 and 9. The base 110 has a slide groove 117. The input body 120 has a guide groove 124 and a first friction surface 125 . The locking member 140 has a sliding pin 141, a guide pin 142, a second friction surface 143 and an operating part 144.

The locking member 140 is rotatably inserted through the second rotating shaft 123 of the input body 120 and the first rotating shaft 116 of the base 110 around the in the guide groove 124. The first friction surface 125 is located on the second rotating shaft 123 , and the second friction surface 143 faces the first friction surface 125 . The operation part 144 can be operated by the user through contact and force application. In addition, the guide groove 124 spirally surrounds the second rotating shaft 123 of the input body 120. In other words, when the locking member 140 rotates around the X-axis, the guide groove 124 and the guide pin 142 cooperate to lock the The member 140 moves reciprocally along the X-axis.

Further, please refer to FIGS. 1, 2, 8 and 13. The guide groove 124 has a first end 124a and a second end 124b opposite to each other. When the guide pin 142 is located at the first end 124a of the guide groove 124, the second friction surface 143 of the locking member 140 abuts the first friction surface 125 of the input body 120, and through the second friction surface 143 and the first friction surface 125 The friction force generated between them can restrict the input body 120 so that the input body 120 will not rotate relative to the base 110 .

Please refer to Figures 2, 8 and 10. When the locking member 140 is forced to rotate about the negative X-axis relative to the input body 120 and the base 110, the guide pin 142 moves to the second end 124b of the guide groove 124 to The locking member 140 is moved along the positive X-axis, and the second friction surface 143 of the locking member 140 is separated from the first friction surface 125 of the base 110 . At this time, the input body 120 is forced to rotate relative to the base 110.

Please refer to FIGS. 10 and 11 .
