[0040] When there is one auxiliary operation unit 3, it can be set on the display unit 1 or the operation unit 2 alone. When there are multiple auxiliary operation units 3, they can all be set on the display unit 1 or the operation unit 2, or on both the display unit 1 and the operation unit 2. For example, the auxiliary operation unit 3 can be set on the periphery of the display screen 11, that is, set on the outside of any one or more of the four sides of the display screen 11; the auxiliary operation unit 3 can be set on the periphery of the keyboard 4 and / or the touch pad 5. The periphery means that the auxiliary operation unit 3 is set on the outside of at least one side.

[0041] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 In this embodiment, the auxiliary operation part 3 is arranged between the keyboard 4 and the flip part 6. In other words, the auxiliary operation part 3 is arranged on the top of the keyboard 4. Of course, it can also be arranged on the left and right sides of the keyboard 4 or between the keyboard 4 and the touch pad 5.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary operation part 3 of the present invention includes a circuit board assembly 31, a light guide plate 32, an adhesive layer 33 and a panel 34 stacked in sequence, wherein the circuit board assembly 31 includes a substrate 311 and a chip 312, the chip 312 is electrically connected to the main control part, the substrate 311 and the panel 34 are both in the shape of long strips, the chip 312 is arranged at one end of the substrate 311 along the length direction of the substrate 311, the width of the chip 312 is greater than the width of the substrate 311, and the width of the chip 312 is greater than the width of the mounting groove 9. The length refers to the length of the longer side, and the width refers to the length of the shorter side. As Figure 6As shown, for fixed installation, a black light-shielding adhesive tape 314 is also provided on the back of the substrate 311, which is used for light shielding on the one hand and for bonding and fixing on the other hand.

[0043] The panel 34 is attached to the light guide plate 32 and the circuit board assembly 31 through the adhesive layer 33. Figure 7 As shown, the adhesive layer 33 in the embodiment of the present invention is a black 3M adhesive layer. The circuit board assembly 31 is electrically connected to the main control unit, and the panel 34 is provided with a touch unit 341. Specifically, the touch unit 341 is a display icon printed on the surface of the panel 34 by silk screen printing. The panel 34 is black and translucent, and its light transmittance is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 20%, preferably 15%. When there is no backlight, the display icon on the panel 34 is hidden. A conductive adhesive layer for sensing touch operation is provided on the back of the panel 34, which is used for users to sense touch operation. An oleophobic layer is provided on the surface of the panel to prevent contamination by fingerprints of users during use.

[0044] The circuit board assembly 31 of this embodiment is a PCBA board, and a control module and a light-emitting unit are provided on the circuit board assembly 31. The control module and the corresponding setting of the touch unit 341 are used to control the terminal to execute corresponding instructions when the touch unit is triggered by the user's touch. In this embodiment, the control module is a functional circuit corresponding to the display icon printed on the circuit board assembly 31. For example, the display icon can be a sound adjustment key, and a volume adjustment circuit is printed on the circuit board assembly 31 corresponding to the key. Of course, the display icon can also be an FN key, a brightness adjustment key, etc., where the specific icons and functions can be customized according to needs, and the corresponding functions are realized by updating the modules on the circuit board assembly 31.

[0045] The light-emitting unit is used to provide a backlight source for the touch unit. In this embodiment, the light-emitting unit includes a plurality of LED lamp beads arranged on the circuit board assembly 31. The backlight is provided to enhance the display effect of the display icon.

[0046] The circuit board assembly 31 in this embodiment is electrically connected to the main control unit through a connector 313, wherein the connector 313 is a piercing terminal connector or an FPC connector. The connector 313 and the chip 312 are both electrically connected to the substrate 311. The main control unit is specifically a terminal mainboard, which can be connected to the connector on the circuit board assembly 31 through a connecting wire or an FPC cable, and is connected to the circuit board assembly 31 through a protocol such as IIC or USB. The control chip and the connector and other devices are placed on the lower surface of the circuit board assembly 31 to prevent the thickness of the corresponding device from affecting the assembly of other components.

[0047] Furthermore, the light guide plate 32 and the adhesive layer 33 are provided with light guide holes 7 for allowing the light of the light emitting unit to pass through, and sound guide holes 8 for allowing the sound to penetrate, thereby avoiding blocking the light of the backlight LED and the recording of the MIC.

[0048] The panel 34 in this embodiment is a strip panel with a thickness of 2 mm to 3 mm, preferably 2.35 mm, and the touch control units are distributed along a straight line on the strip panel 34. Specifically, a slot is provided on the display unit 1 or the operation unit 2, and the panel 34 is attached to the corresponding installation slot by adhesive.

[0049] See attached Figure 3 During assembly, the circuit board assembly 31 is located at the bottom, the light guide plate 32 is attached thereto, and the cover plate 34 is attached to the light guide plate 32 and the circuit board assembly 31 by 3M glue.

[0050] Of course, as another alternative embodiment, the terminal can also be an all-in-one computer. In this embodiment, the main control unit is arranged on the display unit 1, and one or more auxiliary operation units 3 can also be provided, which are arranged on the periphery of the display unit 1, such as the top, bottom, left and right sides.

[0051] like Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, the assembly method of the auxiliary operation part of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] First, the adhesive and centrifugal paper on the auxiliary operation part 3 are torn off.

[0053] Next, the end of the auxiliary operation part 3 with the chip 312 is inserted into the mounting groove 9, wherein during the insertion, the plane where the auxiliary operation part 3 is located is inserted into the mounting groove at an angle relative to the plane where the mounting groove 9 is located. Specifically, the long side and the short side of the auxiliary operation part 3 are simultaneously inserted into the mounting groove 9 at an angle relative to the plane where the mounting groove 9 is located.

[0054] Next, the auxiliary operation part 3 is rotated to the installation position directly above the installation slot 9; the rotation in this step includes the self-rotation and transfer of the auxiliary installation part 3. The auxiliary operation part 3 is rotated around its own center line to transfer the chip 312 into the installation slot, which is self-rotation. While rotating, the free end of the auxiliary operation part 3 is transferred to rotate around the insertion end to the installation position. When located at the installation position, the short side of the auxiliary operation part 3 is roughly parallel to the plane where the installation slot 9 is located, and the long side of the auxiliary operation part 3 is parallel to the plane where the installation slot 9 is located and forms an angle with each other. In other words, one end with the chip is inserted into the installation slot 9, and the other end is tilted out of the installation slot 9. At this time, when the auxiliary operation part 3 is located at the installation position, the angle β between the center line of the auxiliary operation part 3 and the plane where the installation slot is located is less than or equal to 15°. In other words, the auxiliary installation part 3 is tilted at an angle of 15° relative to the plane where the installation slot 9 is located.

[0055] Then, the auxiliary operation part 3 is pushed along the length direction of the installation slot 9 to move toward the end of the installation slot 9; specifically, the end of the auxiliary operation part 3 where the chip is not installed is pushed to move toward the end where the chip is installed until the auxiliary operation part 3 can fall into the installation slot 9.

[0056] Finally, the surface of the auxiliary operating part 3 is pressed to fix it in the mounting groove 9 .

[0057] The present invention provides an auxiliary operation part including a quick touch operation, on which a corresponding quick touch icon is provided. When a user touches the icon, the corresponding function can be realized, which is faster and more convenient than the traditional operation method; at the same time, by setting a modular control module corresponding to the icon on the circuit board assembly, combined with the silk screen printing of the icon, the customizability of the auxiliary main control part is achieved, and its adaptability and application scenarios are improved. In addition, the auxiliary main control part of the present invention is small in size, does not occupy too much space inside the machine, and has a beautiful appearance, a high degree of integration with the fuselage, a simple structure, and a low manufacturing cost, and can be widely used. On the other hand, the installation method of the auxiliary operation part of the present invention is simple, and is conducive to production and assembly of the production line, which can improve the production efficiency of the production line.
