Description

Keyboard combination

The present invention is directed to a keyboard combination.

The computer keyboard has been widely used as a computer information input device. When the user inputs a large amount of data, usually by the right hand on the digital keyboard on the right side of the keyboard, the user's right hand cannot operate the mouse at the same time. If you need to operate the mouse at the same time, you need to switch between the keyboard and the mouse with your right hand, which will reduce the work efficiency. If you use the left hand to operate on the digital keyboard, it will make the human body easily fatigue, which is not good for human health.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a keyboard combination that is convenient for the operator to use.

A keyboard assembly includes a main body keyboard, a digit keyboard and a connecting line. The main keyboard is respectively provided with a first connector on both sides thereof, and the digit keyboard is respectively provided with a second connector on both sides thereof, the first The connector is connected to the second connector, and the connecting cable is used for connecting the main keyboard or the digital keyboard to an electronic device. The two sides of the digital keyboard each have a receiving hole, and the second connector is provided with a fixing hole. The digital keyboard is further provided with two recessed areas corresponding to the two receiving holes on the bottom surface thereof, and each of the recessed areas defines a sliding slot communicating with the corresponding receiving hole, and the two operating members are slidably received in the two recessed areas, respectively. Each operating member includes an abutting portion and a a connecting rod connected to the urging portion, the connecting rod is disposed in the corresponding sliding slot and fixed in the fixing hole of the second connector, and needs to be pushed by the sliding operating member when the digital keyboard is connected to the main keyboard The second connector is slid out to be connected to the first connector of the main body keyboard, and the second connector can be received in the receiving hole of the digital keyboard when no need is used.

The keyboard combination can split the main keyboard and the digital keyboard through the first connector and the second connector, and can change the combined position of the main keyboard and the digital keyboard, thereby facilitating the use of the operator.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, a preferred embodiment of the keyboard assembly of the present invention comprises a main body keyboard 1, a digital keyboard 2 and a connecting line 3.

The main body keyboard 1 is provided with a plurality of keys 10 and three connectors 12, 14 and 16 respectively, wherein the connectors 14 and 16 are respectively disposed on two sides of the main body keyboard 1, and the connector 12 is disposed on the main body keyboard 1 rear side. The connectors 12, 14, 16 are each a female connector.

The digital keyboard 2 is provided with a plurality of keys 20, three connectors 22, 24 and 26 and two operating members 29, wherein the connectors 24 and 26 are respectively disposed on the digital keyboard 2 On both sides, the connector 22 is disposed on the rear side of the digital keyboard 2. The connector 22 is a female connector, and the connectors 24 and 26 are respectively a male connector. Each of the two sides of the digital keyboard 2 further defines a receiving hole 27 for receiving the connectors 24 and 26, respectively. The connectors 24 and 26 are respectively provided with a circular fixing hole 240. The digital keyboard 2 is further provided with two recessed areas 28 corresponding to the two receiving holes 27 on the bottom surface thereof, wherein each of the recessed areas 28 defines a long shape slidingly connected with the corresponding receiving hole 27 and perpendicular to the side of the digital keyboard 2 Slot 280. Each of the operating members 29 includes an abutting portion 290 and a connecting rod 292 that is perpendicularly connected to the abutting portion 290 . The connecting rod 292 is slidably disposed in the sliding slot 280 and fixed to the fixing hole 240 of the connector 24 . The urging portion 290 is received in the recessed portion 28. The diameter of the connecting rod 292 is slightly smaller than the width of the sliding groove 280. The surface of the pushing portion 290 is provided with a plurality of stripes to facilitate the use of the operator.

Referring to FIG. 3 together, when the operator needs to operate the digital keyboard 2 with the right hand, the connector 24 can be slid out by sliding the urging portion 290 of the operating member 29 to be connected with the connector 16 of the main body keyboard 1. At the same time, the connector 12 connected to the main body keyboard 1 through the connection line 3 connects the main body keyboard 1 to an electronic device (such as a computer) for use.

Referring to FIG. 4 together, when the operator needs to operate the mouse (not shown) with the right hand and the digital keyboard 2 is operated by the left hand, the connector 26 is slid out by sliding the urging portion 290 of the operating member 29 to The connector 14 of the main body keyboard 1 is connected, and the connector 12 connected to the main body keyboard 1 through the connection line 3 connects the main body keyboard 1 to the computer for use.

In addition, corresponding magnets are built in the four corners of the main body keyboard 1 and the digital keyboard 2 (Fig. Not shown), the stability between the main body keyboard 1 and the digital keyboard 2 can be increased.

The operator can also use the main body keyboard 1 separately, that is, the connector 12 of the main body keyboard 1 is connected through the connection line 3 to connect the main body keyboard 1 to the computer, thereby reducing the space occupied by the keyboard combination. The operator can also connect the digital keyboard 2 to the electronic device through the connector 2 of the digital keyboard 2, and can use the digital keyboard 2 in a place such as a bank or a supermarket that requires only a digital keyboard.
