Description

키보드 조립체Keyboard assembly
본 발명은 키보드 조립체에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 기존의 키보드에 키를 추가하여 키보드의 활용성을 높일 수 있는 키보드 조립체에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a keyboard assembly, and more particularly, to a keyboard assembly capable of increasing the usability of the keyboard by adding keys to an existing keyboard.
일반적으로 키보드를 사용할 때 대부분의 키는 사용에 어려움이 없으나, 스페이스바의 좌우에 배치되는 특수키(Ctrl, Window, Alt 등)는 그 위치가 새끼손가락의 아래에 있어 누르기가 곤란하다.In general, most keys are not difficult to use when using the keyboard, but the special keys (Ctrl, Window, Alt, etc.) placed on the left and right sides of the space bar are difficult to press because their positions are under the little finger.
특히, 스페이스바에 더 가까운 키일수록 새끼손가락으로 누르기가 더욱 어려워 결국 작업능률이 떨어진다.In particular, the closer the key to the space bar, the more difficult it is to press it with the little finger, resulting in poor work efficiency.
게다가 전문 프로그램의 경우, 특수키를 두 개 이상 조합하고 여기에 일반키를 같이 눌러야 되는데, 키 배치와 손의 구조상 한 손으로 복잡한 단축키를 누르는건 거의 불가능하며, 억지로 한 손으로 한다고 해도 손과 손목이 심하게 틀어져 작업 속도가 떨어지고 피로를 유발시킨다.In addition, in the case of a professional program, two or more special keys must be combined and a general key must be pressed together. Due to the arrangement of keys and the structure of the hand, it is almost impossible to press a complicated shortcut key with one hand, and even if you force it with one hand, the hand and wrist This is severely twisted, slowing down work and causing fatigue.
이처럼 단축키의 조합의 수가 많아질수록 외우기도 힘들어 단축키로서의 역할이 떨어지므로, 종래의 키보드에는 키의 확장에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있는 실정이다.As the number of combinations of shortcut keys increases, it is difficult to memorize, so the role of the shortcut keys decreases, and thus, the need for expansion of keys increases in a conventional keyboard.

When connecting the expansion board 120 to the main keyboard 110, the departure prevention groove 111b-1 formed to open the corners of the keyboard body 111 with the departure prevention protrusions 125-2 of the connection unit 125 is opened. ), it can be coupled to be located in the lower portion of the space bar by slidingly inserting into the inner direction of the connection port 111b.
이때, 접속유닛(125)이 삽입됨과 동시에 도 9과 같이, 제2접속단자(125-3)의 사선부(125-3a)가 연결포트(111b)의 일측에 눌려 탄성체(S)의 장력을 이기고 접속하우징(125-1)의 내측으로 이동된 상태가 된다. 이와 동시에 제2접속단자(125-3)의 타측이 연결단자(113)와 접촉이 이루어진다.At this time, as the connection unit 125 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 9, the diagonal portion 125-3a of the second connection terminal 125-3 is pressed on one side of the connection port 111b to increase the tension of the elastic body S. It is in a state where it is moved to the inside of the connecting housing 125-1. At the same time, the other side of the second connection terminal 125-3 makes contact with the connection terminal 113.
따라서, 확장보드(120)가 메인키보드(110)로부터 이탈되는 것이 방지되며, 확장보드(120)의 서브기판(123)이 메인기판과 연결되는 것이다.Accordingly, the expansion board 120 is prevented from being separated from the main keyboard 110, and the sub-board 123 of the expansion board 120 is connected to the main board.
상술한 바와 같은 본 발명의 키보드 조립체에 의하면, 스페이스바 하부에 확장키(122)가 위치하여 엄지손가락을 사용하여 누르는데 전혀 불편함이 없다. According to the keyboard assembly of the present invention as described above, the expansion key 122 is located under the space bar, and there is no inconvenience in pressing it using the thumb.
특히, 다른 키와 조합할 때도 손가락과 손목의 움직임이 거의 없어 편하고 빠른 작업이 가능하다. 즉, 확장키(122)와 특수키 또는 일반키를 조합할 경우에 엄지손가락으로 확장키(122)를 누르고, 다른 손가락을 이용해 특수키 또는 일반키를 조작할 수 있어 손가락과 손목의 부담을 줄일 수 있는 것이다.In particular, even when combined with other keys, there is almost no movement of the finger and wrist, so a comfortable and quick operation is possible. That is, when the extension key 122 and the special key or the general key are combined, the extension key 122 is pressed with the thumb, and the special key or the general key can be operated with other fingers, thereby reducing the burden on the fingers and wrist. It is possible.
또한, 확장키(122)는 기본적으로 할당값이 없는 상태이며 사용자의 편의와 작업환경에 맞춰 커스텀 셋팅을 할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 기존의 특수키(Ctrl, Windows, Alt 등)를 확장키(122)로 대체(예: Ctrl → S1, Alt → S2)할 수 있으며, 여러 개의 특수키와 일반키를 조합한 복잡한 단축키도 하나의 확장키(122)에 할당(예: Ctrl+Shift+G → S3, Shift+Alt+N → S4)해서 편하고 빠르게 작업할 수 있다.In addition, the extension key 122 is basically free of assignment values and can be customized according to user convenience and working environment. For example, it is possible to replace the existing special keys (Ctrl, Windows, Alt, etc.) with the extended key 122 (eg, Ctrl → S1, Alt → S2), and it is a complex combination of several special keys and general keys. Shortcut keys can also be assigned to one extension key 122 (for example, Ctrl+Shift+G → S3, Shift+Alt+N → S4) to work conveniently and quickly.
더욱이, 확장키(122)를 위한 전용 프로그램을 개발하면 스크립트나 명령조합을 보다 적극적으로 할당할 수 있다.Moreover, if a dedicated program for the extension key 122 is developed, a script or a combination of commands can be more actively assigned.
이상과 같이, 본 발명은 비록 한정된 실시예와 도면에 의해 설명되었으나 이에 한정되지 않으며, 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에 의해 본 발명의 기술 사상과 아래에 기재될 청구범위의 균등범위 내에서 다양한 수정 및 변형 가능함은 물론이다.As described above, although the present invention has been described by limited embodiments and drawings, it is not limited thereto, and the technical spirit of the present invention and equivalents of claims to be described below by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope.
