Keyboard

Abstract

The invention relates to a keyboard, which comprises a first shell, a keypress module, a second shell, and an actuating element. The first shell is provided with a plurality of first magnetic elements. The keypress module is provided with a keypress part and is arranged on the first shell. The second shell is assembled on the first shell and is provided with an opening, and the keypress module isarranged corresponding to the opening. The actuating element is movably arranged on the second shell, and the actuating element is provided with a plurality of second magnetic elements. A distance isreserved between the second magnetic elements and the first magnetic elements and ensures that the keypress module is not convex from the opening and is positioned at the accommodating position, wherein when the actuating element moves toward an actuating direction, at least one first magnetic element and at least one second magnetic element mutually attract to shorten the distance so as to drivethe second shell to move relative to the first shell, thus the keypress part of the keypress module is convex from the opening and is positioned at the use position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keyboard, in particular to a storeable keyboard. Background technique [0002] The keyboard is currently the most important input tool in portable electronic devices, but the portable electronic devices on the market, such as personal digital assistants (PDA) or the latest ultra-mobile PC (Ultra-Mobile PC, UMPC) all have small size And the display screen is largely based on design principles. Therefore, most of the input modules of portable electronic devices are implemented through touch panels supplemented by stylus or finger input. However, if a large amount of data is required to be input, the input speed of the stylus or finger input will become slow, which does not meet the actual demand. Therefore, the existing portable electronic devices are usually connected with a keyboard to facilitate the user to input commands. [0003] Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, a keyboard 1 of an existing portable e...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the existing keyboard 1 is stored together with the portable electronic device M, it is easy to form an uneven remaining space S1 due to the increase in the thickness of the laminated keyboard 1, resulting in that it is difficult to store when placed in a handbag. Waste of space or difficult to store

And, if Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, if the keyboard 2 has four sub-keyboards 21 and are connected to each other by the connecting piece 22, the thickness of the laminated keyboard 21 will be larger, and the resulting remaining space S2 will be larger, and it will be more difficult to store.

Furthermore, the foldable keyboards 1 and 2 need to be folded or assembled during storage or use, which is quite inconvenient for users.

In addition, there will be gaps in the appearance of keyboards 1 and 2, and there is no consistency in appearance, and when the keyboards 1 and 2 are stacked, it is easy to cause damage to the keys due to improper extrusion
