[0026] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0027] A keyboard touch screen structure, referring to Figure 1 , including a keyboard body 10, the keyboard body 10 includes a mechanical keyboard area 20 and a numeric keyboard area 30, the keyboard body 10 is arranged in a rectangular shape, and a letter area 21 is arranged on the mechanical keyboard area 20, for the user to press corresponding keys to input information. The letter area 21 of the mechanical keyboard area 20 is a mechanical key. The numeric keyboard area 30 has a touch function, and a number area 31 is arranged on the numeric keyboard area 30, and information is input by touching the numbers on the number area 31.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3, the mechanical keyboard area 20 and the numeric keyboard area 30 are connected, and the numeric keyboard area 30 can be folded or unfolded relative to the mechanical keyboard area 20. A hinge 40 is provided between the numeric keyboard area 30 and the mechanical keyboard area 20, and the hinge 40 is located on one side of the mechanical keyboard area 20. The numeric keyboard area 30 is fixed on the hinge 40, and the numeric keyboard area 30 can be rotated relative to the hinge 40 to present an open or folded state. When the numeric keyboard area 30 is in an open state, the mechanical keyboard area 20 and the numeric keyboard area 30 are located on the same plane so that the numeric keyboard area 30 can be used. When the numeric keyboard area 30 is not required to be used, the numeric keyboard area 30 can be folded up by the hinge 40. When the numeric keyboard area 30 is in a folded state, the numeric keyboard area 30 is located below the mechanical keyboard area 20.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The thickness of the numeric keypad area 30 is less than that of the mechanical keyboard area 20. The position of the mechanical keyboard area 20 close to the numeric keypad area 30 is the edge portion 22. The thickness of the edge portion 22 is less than that of the mechanical keyboard area 20. The edge portion 22 and the mechanical keyboard area 20 are arranged in a stepped manner relative to the position outside the edge portion 22. A storage portion 23 for storing the numeric keypad area 30 is formed between the edge portion 22 and the mechanical keyboard area 20. The size of the storage portion 23 is adapted to the size of the numeric keypad area 30. The storage portion 23 is arranged relative to the folding position of the numeric keypad area 30. The numeric keypad area 30 can be accommodated in the storage portion 23. The sum of the thickness of the numeric keypad area 30 and the edge portion 22 is the same as the thickness of the mechanical keyboard area 20. By setting the stepped position to form the storage portion 23, the thickness of the mechanical keyboard area 20 is not increased after the numeric keypad area 30 is folded, and the mechanical keyboard area 20 can be used normally after the numeric keypad area 30 is folded.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 , a support foot 32 is provided below the numeric keypad area 30 for supporting the numeric keypad area 30 when it is unfolded, and the height of the support foot 32 is the same as the height of the storage portion 23. When the numeric keypad area 30 is unfolded, the support foot 32 is supported on the desktop so that the numeric keypad area 30 and the mechanical keyboard area 20 are located on the same plane. In this embodiment, the support foot 32 is foldable, so that when the numeric keypad area 30 is in a folded state, the support foot 32 is folded at the bottom of the numeric keypad area 30.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4, the upper surface of the mechanical keyboard area 20 is provided with a card slot 24 near the left and right sides, and the card slot 24 is opened along the width direction of the mechanical keyboard area 20, and the card slot 24 near the right side of the mechanical keyboard area 20 is arranged adjacent to the numeric keyboard area 30. A protective card sleeve 50 is arranged at the card slot 24, and the protective card sleeve 50 is arranged in an L shape, and one end of the protective card sleeve 50 is clamped in the card slot 24. When the numeric keyboard area 30 is accommodated in the storage part 23, the protective card sleeve 50 is located outside the numeric keyboard area 30, the upper side of the protective card sleeve 50 is clamped in the card slot 24 near the right side of the mechanical keyboard area 20, and the lower end of the protective card sleeve 50 is clamped in the bottom of the mechanical keyboard area 20 to protect the numeric keyboard area 30 from dust. When the numeric keyboard area 30 is in an unfolded setting, the upper end of the protective card sleeve 50 is received in the card slot 24 near the left side of the mechanical keyboard area 20, and the lower end of the protective card sleeve 50 is clamped in the bottom of the mechanical keyboard area 20.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 By setting the numeric keypad area 30 to be foldable, the numeric keypad area 30 can be stored when not in use, and protected by a protective card sleeve 50 to save space on the desktop and prevent dust from falling on the numeric keypad area 30.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 The numeric keypad area 30 has a touch function. The numeric keypad area 30 includes a housing 301, a capacitive touch screen cover 302, and a single-layer film touch layer 303, which are arranged in sequence. The single-layer film touch layer 303 is located on one side of the capacitive touch screen cover 302. The single-layer film touch layer 303 is used to enable the numeric keypad area 30 to have a touch function. The numeric area 31 on the numeric keypad is silk-screened on the capacitive touch screen cover 302, so that the numeric keypad area 30 has a touch function.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 , FPC304 is bound to the single-layer film touch layer 303, and one end of FPC304 is bound to the single-layer film touch layer 303. A processor is provided in the keyboard body 10, and the processor is connected to the client host. One end of FPC304 away from the single-layer film touch layer 303 is connected to the processor, and the mechanical keyboard area 20 is connected to the processor. When the user touches the numeric area 31 on the numeric keypad area 30, the capacitance of the single-layer film touch layer 303 changes and transmits a signal to FPC304, and FPC304 transmits the signal to the processor. The processor summarizes the position of the letter area 21 input on the mechanical keyboard area 20 and the signal of the numeric keypad area 30, and transmits it to the client host, so that the client host receives the content input by the keyboard body 10 and outputs it.

[0035] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
