隨著科技的進步,筆記型電腦、行動通訊裝置以及影音播放裝置等電子裝置已成為人們日常生活中不可或缺的工具。另外,隨著市場的不斷發展,消費者不僅重視電子裝置的功能性,設計與產品型態更是影響消費者購買的主要因素。With the advancement of technology, electronic devices such as notebook computers, mobile communication devices, and audio-visual playback devices have become indispensable tools in people's daily lives. In addition, with the continuous development of the market, consumers not only pay attention to the functionality of electronic devices, but also design and product types are the main factors affecting consumer purchase.

以筆記型電腦為例,目前的筆記型電腦通常設置觸控板以替代滑鼠。然而,現有的觸控板通常固定於筆記型電腦的主體,不僅無法提供新穎獨特的設計以展現個人風格,而且無法為使用者提供例如移動或者旋轉的直覺性操作。此外,當筆記型電腦的顯示螢幕不夠大時,使用者往往需要上下左右移動頁面以進行完整的瀏覽。然而,目前的觸控板無法便捷地完成上述操作。Taking a notebook computer as an example, current notebook computers usually have a touchpad instead of a mouse. However, existing touch panels are usually fixed to the main body of the notebook computer, and are not only unable to provide a novel and unique design to express a personal style, but also provide an intuitive operation such as moving or rotating for the user. In addition, when the display screen of the notebook computer is not large enough, the user often needs to move the page up and down or left and right for a complete browsing. However, current touch panels cannot easily perform the above operations.

本發明的目的在於提供一種可動式觸控模組及應用其的電子裝置,以改善現有技術的缺失。It is an object of the present invention to provide a movable touch module and an electronic device using the same to improve the lack of the prior art.

於本實施例中,主體10的殼體100即為筆記型電腦的外殼。觸控單元120設置於殼體100。具體而言,如圖2所示,殼體100具有一容置區1000,其可呈凹陷狀。容置區1000內設置一開口1001。觸控單元120設置於容置區1000內,且觸控單元120的背面可外露於開口1001而固定於懸置件122。此外,於本實施例中,開口1001呈矩形。然而,本發明對此不作任何限定。In this embodiment, the housing 100 of the main body 10 is the outer casing of the notebook computer. The touch unit 120 is disposed on the housing 100 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the housing 100 has an accommodating area 1000 which may be recessed. An opening 1001 is disposed in the accommodating area 1000. The touch unit 120 is disposed in the accommodating area 1000 , and the back surface of the touch unit 120 is exposed to the opening 1001 and fixed to the suspension 122 . Further, in the present embodiment, the opening 1001 has a rectangular shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

於本實施例中,觸控單元120的尺寸小於容置區1000的大小。如圖2所示,觸控單元120與容置區1000的側壁之間存在一定距離。並且,容置區1000的底面可設置為平行於懸置件122相對於主體10活動的平面。藉此,於本實施例中,觸控單元120可於容置區1000內,即沿著容置區1000的底面上下左右移動或者旋轉。然而,本發明並不限定於此。於其它實施例中,殼體100亦可不設置容置區1000,觸控單元120可直接設置於殼體100上。或者,容置區1000的底面亦可不平行於懸置件122相對於主體10活動的平面。此時,觸控單元120的上下左右移動或者旋轉即不會沿著容置區1000的底面進行。In this embodiment, the size of the touch unit 120 is smaller than the size of the accommodating area 1000. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a certain distance between the touch unit 120 and the sidewall of the accommodating area 1000. Also, the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 may be disposed parallel to a plane in which the suspension member 122 moves relative to the main body 10. Therefore, in the embodiment, the touch unit 120 can move or rotate in the accommodating area 1000, that is, up, down, left, and right along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000. However, the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the housing 100 may not be provided with the accommodating area 1000, and the touch unit 120 may be directly disposed on the housing 100. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 may not be parallel to the plane in which the suspension member 122 moves relative to the main body 10. At this time, the top, bottom, left, and right movement or rotation of the touch unit 120 does not proceed along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000.

於本實施例中,觸控單元120、懸置件122、固定件124以及電路板102的組裝方向垂直於懸置件122相對於主體10活動的平面(例如,可為固定件124所在平面)。具體而言,固定件124以及電路板102設置於殼體100內且位於開口1000的下方。觸控單元120、懸置件122以及固定件124均位於電路板102的上方。此外,於本實施例中,電路板102藉由螺絲13固定於固定件124的底部。四向感應元件126、旋轉感應元件128以及按壓開關129例如可通過表面貼裝技術(surface mount Technology,SMT)固定於電路板102。然而,本發明並不限定於此。In this embodiment, the assembly direction of the touch unit 120, the suspension member 122, the fixing member 124, and the circuit board 102 is perpendicular to a plane in which the suspension member 122 moves relative to the main body 10 (for example, the plane of the fixing member 124). . Specifically, the fixing member 124 and the circuit board 102 are disposed in the housing 100 and located below the opening 1000. The touch unit 120, the suspension 122, and the fixing member 124 are all located above the circuit board 102.

The touch-sensitive appearance member 1201 is fixed on the touch panel 1202. The touch panel 1202 is disposed at the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100 and has a back surface protruding from the opening 1001 and fixed to the suspension member 122. The touch appearance component 1201 can be, for example, a touch film. The touch panel 1202 can be, for example, an electronic sensor board. In addition, the touch panel 1202 can be connected to the circuit board or the motherboard of the main body 10 through a flexible cable (FFC) to implement the functions of the existing touch panel. For example, the touchpad 1202 can sense the movement of the user's finger on the touch appearance component 1201 to control the movement of the upstream target of the screen.

於本實施例中,觸控單元120固定於懸置件122。具體而言,觸控板1202的背面可貼附於懸置件122的頂部以實現兩者之間的固定。然而,本發明對此不作任何限定。於其它實施例中,觸控板1202上可設置一凹陷部,懸置件122的頂部可設置一凸出部,藉由凸出部與凹陷部的卡合,從而實現觸控板1202與懸置件122的固定。In the embodiment, the touch unit 120 is fixed to the suspension 122. Specifically, the back surface of the touch panel 1202 can be attached to the top of the suspension member 122 to achieve a fixation therebetween. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the touch panel 1202 can be provided with a recessed portion.

However, the invention does not limit the number of rotational sensing elements 128.

另外,本發明對四向感應元件126與旋轉感應元件128的設置位置亦不作任何限定,只要其位於懸置件122的移動或旋轉路徑上即可。In addition, the present invention does not limit the installation position of the four-direction sensing element 126 and the rotation sensing element 128 as long as it is located on the moving or rotating path of the suspension member 122.

於本實施例中,如圖3A所示,固定於電路板102上的兩個按壓開關129分別凸出於固定件124且位於懸置件122的下方。如圖3B所示,固定件124的表面設置有三個凸點1244且上述這些凸點1244處於固定件124沿直線B-B’方向的中線上。如此,藉由上述這些凸點1244,懸置件122可於固定件124沿直線B-B’方向的中線左右擺動,即使用者可沿觸控單元120的組裝方向按壓觸控單元120。由於兩個按壓開關129位於懸置件122的下方,因此,當觸控單元120被按壓時,透過懸置件122可觸發相應的按壓開關129。然而,本發明對按壓開關129的位置不作任何限定。此外,兩個按壓開關129相當於現有筆記型電腦觸控區周圍的左右按鍵。換言之,本實施例提供之可動式觸控模組12結合有左右按鍵的功能。In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A , the two push switches 129 fixed on the circuit board 102 respectively protrude from the fixing member 124 and are located below the suspension member 122 . As shown in Fig. 3B, the surface of the fixing member 124 is provided with three bumps 1244 and the above-mentioned bumps 1244 are on the center line of the fixing member 124 in the direction of the straight line B-B'. In this manner, the suspension member 122 can be swung to the left and right of the fixing member 124 along the center line of the straight line B-B' by the bumps 1244, that is, the user can press the touch unit 120 along the assembly direction of the touch unit 120. Since the two push switches 129 are located below the suspension 122, when the touch unit 120 is pressed, the corresponding push switch 129 can be triggered by the suspension 122. However, the present invention does not limit the position of the push switch 129. In addition, the two push switches 129 are equivalent to the left and right buttons around the touch area of the existing notebook computer. In other words, the movable touch module 12 provided in this embodiment combines the functions of the left and right buttons.

圖4A至圖4D所示為根據本發明之一較佳實施例之可動式觸控模組的作動示意圖。請一倂參考圖2、圖4A至圖4D。4A-4D are schematic diagrams showing the operation of a movable touch module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D.

於本實施例中,如圖4A所示,懸置件122處於初始位置(即,觸控單元120未作動)。此時,懸置件122的容置部1226均未接觸四向感應元件126,旋轉觸發部1228亦未接觸任何旋轉感應元件128。懸置件122的彈性部1224抵靠於殼體100的擋止壁1004以使懸置件122保持平衡。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the suspension member 122 is in an initial position (ie, the touch unit 120 is not activated). At this time, the receiving portion 1226 of the suspension member 122 does not contact the four-direction sensing element 126, and the rotation triggering portion 1228 does not contact any of the rotation sensing elements 128. The resilient portion 1224 of the suspension member 122 abuts against the stop wall 1004 of the housing 100 to maintain the suspension 122 in balance.

於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120沿殼體100的容置區1000的底面上下左右移動或者於容置區1000的底面上旋轉時,由於觸控單元120固定於懸置件122,因此,懸置件122會相對於主體10沿固定件124所在平面上下左右移動或者於固定件124所在平面上旋轉。In this embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to move up and down or left and right along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100 or rotate on the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000, the touch unit 120 is fixed to the suspension unit. 122. Therefore, the suspension member 122 moves up and down and left and right with respect to the main body 10 along the plane of the fixing member 124 or rotates on the plane of the fixing member 124.

具體而言,當使用者操作觸控單元120沿殼體100的容置區1000的底面向右移動時,如圖4B所示,懸置件122會沿固定件124所在平面向右移動,懸置件122的容置部1226的左側壁會接觸並向右觸發四向感應元件126,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,右移圖片或者向右翻頁)。此時,懸置件122右側的彈性部1224會碰到位於其右側的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,懸置件122右側的彈性部1224會利用其自身的回彈力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。此外,由於懸置件122左側的彈性部1224亦存在一定的彈性作用力,因此,可確保懸置件122不會發生由於被右側的彈性部1224推動而偏離初始位置的情況。Specifically, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to move to the right along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, as shown in FIG. 4B, the suspension member 122 moves to the right along the plane of the fixing member 124. The left side wall of the receiving portion 1226 of the member 122 contacts and triggers the four-way sensing element 126 to the right, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (eg, shifting the picture to the right or turning the page to the right). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the right side of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 on the right side thereof. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 on the right side of the suspension member 122 pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own resilience. Further, since the elastic portion 1224 on the left side of the suspension member 122 also has a certain elastic force, it is possible to ensure that the suspension member 122 does not deviate from the initial position due to being pushed by the right elastic portion 1224.

舉例而言,於實際應用中,當筆記型電腦的顯示螢幕不夠大時,使用者可向右移動觸控單元120以控制螢幕顯示頁面對應地向右移動。當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,頁面即停止移動,螢幕即顯示頁面的對應部分。如此,使用者僅需要沿不同方向移動觸控單元120,即可便捷地瀏覽頁面。For example, in a practical application, when the display screen of the notebook computer is not large enough, the user can move the touch unit 120 to the right to control the screen display page to move to the right correspondingly. When the user releases the touch unit 120, the page stops moving, and the screen displays the corresponding portion of the page. In this way, the user only needs to move the touch unit 120 in different directions to conveniently browse the page.

此外,於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120沿殼體100的容置區1000的底面向左移動時,懸置件122會沿固定件124所在平面向左移動,懸置件122的容置部1226的右側壁會接觸並向左觸發四向感應元件126,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,左移圖片或者向左翻頁)。此時,懸置件122左側的彈性部1224會碰到位於其左側的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,懸置件122左側的彈性部1224會利用其自身的回彈力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。In addition, in the embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to move to the left along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, the suspension member 122 moves to the left along the plane of the fixing member 124, and the suspension member The right side wall of the receiving portion 1226 of 122 contacts and triggers the four-way sensing element 126 to the left, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (eg, shifting the picture to the left or turning the page to the left). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the left side of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 on the left side thereof. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 on the left side of the suspension member 122 pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own resilience.

於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120沿殼體100的容置區1000的底面向上移動時,如圖4C所示,懸置件122會沿固定件124所在平面向上移動,懸置件122的容置部1226的下側壁會接觸並向上觸發四向感應元件126,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,上移圖片或者調高音量)。此時,懸置件122上側的彈性部1224會碰到位於其上側的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,懸置件122上側的彈性部1224會利用其自身的回彈力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。此外,由於懸置件122下側的彈性部1224亦存在一定的彈性作用力,因此,可確保懸置件122不會發生由於被上側的彈性部1224推動而偏離初始位置的情況。In this embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to move upward along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, as shown in FIG. 4C, the suspension member 122 moves upward along the plane of the fixing member 124, and is suspended. The lower sidewall of the receiving portion 1226 of the member 122 contacts and upwardly triggers the four-way sensing element 126, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (eg, moving up the picture or turning up the volume). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the upper side of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 on the upper side thereof. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 on the upper side of the suspension member 122 pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own resilience. Further, since the elastic portion 1224 on the lower side of the suspension member 122 also has a certain elastic force, it is possible to ensure that the suspension member 122 does not deviate from the initial position due to being pushed by the upper elastic portion 1224.

此外,於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120沿殼體100的容置區1000的底面向下移動時,懸置件122會沿固定件124所在平面向下移動,懸置件122的容置部1226的上側壁會接觸並向下觸發四向感應元件126,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,下移圖片或者調低音量)。此時,懸置件122下側的彈性部1224會碰到位於其下側的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,懸置件122下側的彈性部1224會利用其自身的回彈力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。In addition, in the embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to move downward along the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, the suspension member 122 moves downward along the plane of the fixing member 124, and the suspension member The upper side wall of the receiving portion 1226 of the 122 contacts and triggers the four-way sensing element 126 downward, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (for example, moving down the picture or turning down the volume). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the lower side of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 on the lower side thereof. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 on the lower side of the suspension member 122 pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own resilience.

於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120於殼體100的容置區1000的底面上順時針旋轉時,如圖4D所示,懸置件122會於固定件124所在平面上順時針旋轉,懸置件122左側的旋轉觸發部1228會接觸並觸發左側的旋轉感應元件128,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,順時針旋轉圖片或者打開某個程式)。此時,懸置件122的四個側壁上的彈性部1224會碰到其周圍的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,懸置件122的彈性部1224會同時利用其自身的回彈力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。此外,由於懸置件122的四個側壁上均設置有彈性部1224,因此,可確保懸置件122回到初始位置。In this embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to rotate clockwise on the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, as shown in FIG. 4D, the suspension member 122 is disposed on the plane of the fixing member 124. When the hour hand rotates, the rotation triggering portion 1228 on the left side of the suspension member 122 contacts and triggers the left rotation sensing element 128, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (for example, rotating the picture clockwise or opening a program). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the four side walls of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 around it. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 of the suspension member 122 simultaneously pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own resilience. Further, since the elastic portions 1224 are provided on the four side walls of the suspension member 122, the suspension member 122 can be surely returned to the initial position.

此外,於本實施例中,當使用者操作觸控單元120於殼體100的容置區1000的底面上逆時針旋轉時,懸置件122會於固定件124所在平面上逆時針旋轉,懸置件122右側的旋轉觸發部1228會接觸並觸發右側的旋轉感應元件128,從而控制電子裝置執行相應的功能(例如,逆時針旋轉圖片或者關閉某個程式)。此時,懸置件122的四個側壁上的彈性部1224會碰到其周圍的殼體100的擋止壁1004而被壓縮。隨後,當使用者釋放觸控單元120時,彈性部1224會利用其自身的彈性作用力將懸置件122推回至初始位置。In addition, in the embodiment, when the user operates the touch unit 120 to rotate counterclockwise on the bottom surface of the accommodating area 1000 of the housing 100, the suspension member 122 rotates counterclockwise on the plane of the fixing member 124. The rotation triggering portion 1228 on the right side of the member 122 contacts and triggers the right side of the rotation sensing element 128, thereby controlling the electronic device to perform a corresponding function (for example, rotating the picture counterclockwise or closing a program). At this time, the elastic portion 1224 on the four side walls of the suspension member 122 is pressed against the stopper wall 1004 of the casing 100 around it. Subsequently, when the user releases the touch unit 120, the elastic portion 1224 pushes the suspension member 122 back to the initial position by its own elastic force.

此外,於本實施例中,由於四向感應元件126為四向撥桿式開關,旋轉感應元件128亦為撥桿式開關,因此,當四向感應元件126或者旋轉感應元件128被觸發後,四向感應元件126或者旋轉感應元件128可自動恢復。In addition, in the embodiment, since the four-direction sensing element 126 is a four-way lever type switch, the rotation sensing element 128 is also a lever type switch. Therefore, when the four-direction sensing element 126 or the rotation sensing element 128 is triggered, The four-way sensing element 126 or the rotational sensing element 128 can be automatically restored.

另外,於本實施例中,可動式觸控模組12亦具有左右按鍵的功能。如圖3A所示,使用者可按壓觸控單元120以觸發其所覆蓋的按壓開關129。觸控單元120可藉由按壓開關129自身的彈性作用回復至初始位置。In addition, in the embodiment, the movable touch module 12 also has the function of left and right buttons. As shown in FIG. 3A, the user can press the touch unit 120 to trigger the push switch 129 that it covers. The touch unit 120 can be restored to the initial position by the elastic action of the push switch 129 itself.

綜上所述,本實施例所提供之可動式觸控模組的懸置件相對於主體於一平面上為可活動。而且,觸控單元固定於懸置件。藉此,使用者可通過操作觸控單元以使懸置件沿此平面移動或者於此平面上旋轉以沿不同方向觸發四向感應元件或者觸發不同的旋轉感應元件,藉以實現各種功能。此外,本實施例提供之可動式觸控模組亦結合有左右按鍵功能。如此,本實施例所提供之可動式觸控模組及應用其的電子裝置不僅提供了新穎獨特的設計而且提供了更便捷高效的操作方式。In summary, the suspension of the movable touch module provided in this embodiment is movable relative to the main body on a plane. Moreover, the touch unit is fixed to the suspension. Thereby, the user can realize various functions by operating the touch unit to move the suspension along the plane or rotate on the plane to trigger the four-direction sensing element in different directions or trigger different rotation sensing elements. In addition, the movable touch module provided in this embodiment also incorporates a left and right button function. As such, the movable touch module provided by the embodiment and the electronic device using the same not only provide a novel and unique design but also provide a more convenient and efficient operation mode.
