Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to an input device and an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] As electronic devices are becoming increasingly thinner and lighter, the size and thickness of laptops are also gradually decreasing. The reduction in the overall size of laptops makes the keyboard layout more compact, and the height of the keyboard is fixed. It cannot be adjusted according to the length of the user's fingers, wrists, and arms, nor can it be adjusted to suit different usage postures. If users maintain a uniform typing posture for a long time, input efficiency will gradually decrease, and wrists and fingers are prone to muscle injuries.

[0003] The designer sets up a keyboard that can change height. The keyboard can be pushed out and suspended by springs to change the height at which the keyboard is used.

[0004] However, in the above design, the keyboard is suspended, and the typing feel is shaky and unstable. At the same time, the keyboard is at the same height as a whole, which is not ergonomically designed. It will still reduce input efficiency and even cause muscle damage to the wrists and fingers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0055] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.

[0056] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0057] Example 1

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The input device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a first housing 1, a first keyboard 2, a second keyboard 3 and an adjustment component; the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can be spliced ​​into a third keyboard; the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are arranged in sequence along a first direction a, and the first direction a is the length direction of the first housing 1; the adjustment component movably connects the first keyboard 2, the second keyboard 3 and the first housing 1, so that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can change their positions relative to the first housing 1;

[0059] In which, the adjustment component is in a first state, and the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are parallel to the first shell 1 and are stored in the first shell 1; in the process of switching the adjustment component from the first state to the second state, the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are lifted relative to the first shell 1 and rotate synchronously, and in the second state, the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 2 are raised to a specified height and tilted at a specified angle relative to the first shell 1.

[0060] Specifically, in order to solve the problem that the existing keyboards are not ergonomically designed, resulting in reduced input efficiency and even affecting the health of the user's wrists and fingers, the input device provided in this embodiment splits the complete third keyboard into a first keyboard 2 and a second keyboard 3, and cooperates with the adjustment component to enable the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 to be synchronously raised and rotated relative to the first shell 1, thereby making the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 more ergonomic when corresponding to the left and right hands, thereby improving the comfort during the input process.

[0061] The input device provided in this embodiment can be an independent keyboard or a keyboard equipped on a laptop computer. The first shell 1 is a rigid shell that supports the keys or serves as an appearance surface, and can be, but is not limited to, a flat plate-like structure. In this embodiment, the first shell 1 is closest to the keys on the keyboard in the thickness direction of the input device. Not only the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can be set on the first shell 1, but also a touch area can be set on the first shell 1, for example: Figure 1 As shown, a first keyboard 2 and a second keyboard 3 are arranged on the upper part of the first housing 1, and a touch area 11 is reserved on the lower part of the first housing 1 for installing a touch module (not shown in the figure). The first direction a and the second direction b described below in this embodiment correspond to the length direction and the width direction of the first housing 1, respectively. In actual products, the first direction a corresponds to the left and right direction of the user.

[0062] Among them, the third keyboard can be but not limited to a complete keyboard including 104 keys, 107 keys, 102 keys, 96 keys, 87 keys, etc., the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are parts of the third keyboard including a part of the key structure of the third keyboard, the number of keys included in the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs, and can be but not limited to being equal or approximately equal, thereby ensuring that the size of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are similar, and the driving force of the balance adjustment component can also ensure the appearance effect. The specified height and the specified angle in this embodiment can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0063] The adjustment component is simultaneously and movably connected to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, and the adjustment component can drive the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 to move synchronously under the drive of an external force; Figure 1As shown, the adjustment component is in the first state and is not driven by an external force. At this time, the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 do not move, are stored in or on the first shell 1 and remain parallel to the first shell 1, so that they can be spliced ​​together to form a third keyboard; accordingly, when the adjustment component receives a one-time external force drive, the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are lifted relative to the first shell 1 and rotate synchronously until the adjustment component reaches the second state, and the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can be raised to a specified height relative to the first shell 1 and tilted at a specified angle, that is, Figure 2 In the state shown, the outer corners of the upper edges of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are raised to a specified height, the inner corners of the upper edges are close to each other, the outer corners of the lower edges are still in contact with the first shell 1, and the inner corners of the lower edges are in contact with the first shell 1 and away from each other, so that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can each adapt to the ergonomic angles of the left and right hands.

[0064] According to the above, the input device provided by the present application divides the third keyboard into the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, and is cooperated with an adjustment component to achieve synchronous adjustment of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 by applying force to the adjustment component at one time through external force, so that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can change their angles and heights relative to the first shell 1 to be more ergonomic and improve user experience; thereby solving the problem that the existing keyboards are not ergonomically designed, resulting in reduced input efficiency and even affecting the health of the user's wrists and fingers.

[0065] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B, which is specifically understood as: A and B may be included at the same time, A may exist alone, or B may exist alone, and any of the above three situations may exist.

[0066] Further, see Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 4, the input device provided in this embodiment, in a specific implementation, the adjustment component includes a driving member 4, a cantilever 5, a first support member 6 and a second support member 7; the driving member 4 is movably arranged along the second direction b at a position on the first shell 1 corresponding to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, and the first end of the driving member 4 along the second direction b is provided with at least a first driving position 41 and a second driving position 42 for movably engaging with the first shell 1, and the second direction b is the width direction of the first shell 1; the cantilever 5 is arranged at the second end of the driving member 4, and the cantilever 5 is rotatably arranged around the first direction a; the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are respectively rotatably connected to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 facing the first shell 1, so that the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 can be respectively rotated relative to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 around a third direction c; the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are respectively rotatably connected to the cantilever 5; the third direction c is perpendicular to the first direction a and the second direction b;

[0067] Among them, when the first driving position 41 on the driving member 4 is engaged with the first shell 1, the cantilever 5 extends along the second direction b, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are parallel to the first shell 1, and the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 have no height and angle changes relative to the first shell 1, so that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are parallel to the first shell 1; in the process of the driving member 4 changing from the first driving position 41 to the second driving position 42 and being engaged with the first shell 1, the cantilever 5 rotates around the first direction a to lift the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 to a specified height, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 rotate around the first direction a relative to the cantilever 5 and rotate around the third direction c relative to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, so that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are tilted at a specified angle relative to the first shell 1.

[0068] Specifically, in order to realize that the adjustment component can synchronously drive the action of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, in this embodiment, the adjustment component is set to include a driving member 4, a cantilever 5, a first support member 6 and a second support member 7; the driving member 4, the cantilever 5, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are all rigid structures. The driving member 4 extends in the second direction b and is placed between the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, which can be but not limited to the midline of the length direction of the first shell 1; the driving position on the driving member 4 can be but not limited to an opening or a block, and the corresponding first shell 1 is provided with an adaptive limiting column or opening to cooperate with the adjustment of the driving position. When adjusting between the first driving position 41 and the second driving position 42, the driving member 4 can reciprocate in the second direction b. It can be understood that a force applying portion 43 can be provided on the driving member 4, and the user can push or pull the driving member 4 along the second direction b through the force applying portion 43 to adjust the first driving position 41 or the second driving position 42 and the first shell 1. The cantilever 5 can rotate around the first direction a as the driving member 4 moves in the second direction b, and can change in height. The cantilever 5 can be, but is not limited to, bent, L-shaped, V-shaped, etc., and the bend can be rotatably connected to the first shell 1 to rotate in conjunction with the linear movement of the driving member 4. The first support member 6 and the second support member 7 can be a plate-like structure, a frame structure, a rod-like structure, etc., which respectively support and support the back sides of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, mainly supporting the upper parts of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3. When the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are raised and rotated, their respective bottom edges and corners remain in contact with the first shell 1 to maintain the tapping stability of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 and avoid a sense of suspension and shaking. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is configured that the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are rotatably connected to the cantilever 5 around the first direction a, and the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are rotatably connected to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 around the third direction c. Refer to the attached Figure 4 When the cantilever 5 is driven by the driving member 4, it rotates around the first direction a to lift the connection end with the first support member 6 and the second support member 7, and then the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are lifted up accordingly. During this process, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 rotate around the first direction a to ensure the relative stability of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3, and prevent the upper edges of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 from moving away from the first shell 1 and flipping toward the lower edge. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the lifting and rotation of the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 and avoid interference, in this embodiment, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are arranged to be connected to their respective corresponding keyboards in a form of rotation around a third direction c, and then when the bottom edge corners of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 maintain contact with the first shell 1, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 need to rotate relative to the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 around the third direction c to ensure the stability of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 during the position change.

[0069] Among them, refer to the attached Figure 3 , the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 can be but not limited to a T-shaped frame body formed by both a first member 62 and a second member 63; the first end of the first member 62 is rotatably connected to the cantilever 5, and the second end extends toward the edge of the first keyboard 2 or the second keyboard 3, the first member 62 is rotatably connected to the first keyboard 2 or the second keyboard 3 around a third direction c, and the third direction c is perpendicular to the first direction a and the second direction b; the second member 63 extends from the rotation connection of the first member 61 in a direction away from the first member 62. In this embodiment, the first member 62 is inclined toward the first guide groove 12, and the second member 63 is inclined toward the second guide groove 13. The inclination angle can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs. The end of the second member 63 away from the first member 62 can be rotatably connected to the first keyboard 2 or the second keyboard 3 around the third direction c, or can be directly suspended without connection, as long as it ensures that the first keyboard 2 or the second keyboard 3 is mostly supported.

[0070] Further, see Attachment Figure 3 and attached Fig. 9 In the input device provided in this embodiment, in a specific implementation, first guide grooves 12 are respectively provided at both ends of the first shell 1 along the first direction a, the first guide grooves 12 form a second specified angle with the second direction b, and the two first guide grooves 12 are respectively slidably connected to the bottom edges of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 and are outer corners away from each other; a second guide groove 13 is respectively provided on both sides of the driving member 4 along the first direction a at a position corresponding to the first end of the driving member 4 on the first shell 1, the second guide groove 13 forms a third specified angle with the second direction b, and the two second guide grooves 13 are respectively slidably connected to the bottom edges of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 and are inner corners close to each other.

[0071] Specifically, in order to match and guide the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 to change with the position of the support, the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 are provided on the first housing 1 in this embodiment. The first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 are respectively used to guide the outer corner and the inner corner on the bottom edge of the first keyboard 2 (second keyboard 3), and keep the first keyboard 2 (second keyboard 3) in continuous contact with the first housing 1.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, the first guide groove 12, the second guide groove 13 and the corner positions of the keyboard can be connected by a ball head to ensure that the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 can be smoothly guided in the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 during movement to avoid interference. Refer to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 That is, it can be understood that when the driving member 4 moves along the second direction b, the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are rotated and raised based on the inner corners of their respective upper edges.

[0073] Specifically, in order to realize the matching and snap connection between the driving member 4 and the first shell 1, in this embodiment, the driving member 4 is set in the form of a first driving plate 44 connected to the second driving plate 45. The first driving plate 44 is a plastic part, which can be slightly deformed, and the second driving plate 44 is a non-deformable rigid structure.

Fig. 9 The state shown is that the adjustment component is in the first state. When the driving member 4 moves along the second direction b under external force, the limit column 14 will enter the second opening in the opposite direction of the second direction b. At this time, the adjustment component is in the second state, and the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are lifted and rotated.

[0081] Specifically, in order to increase the adjustable gears of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 to adapt to the different needs of different users, in this embodiment, a third driving position 48 is set on the driving member 4, so that the adjustment component not only has the first state and the second state, but also can have a third state between the two. That is, after the third driving position 48 of the driving member 4 is clamped on the limiting column 14, the lifting height and tilting angle of the first keyboard 2 and the second keyboard 3 are smaller than the lifting height and tilting angle when the second driving position 42 of the driving member 4 is clamped on the limiting column 14; the third driving position 48 can also be formed in the form of an opening, refer to the attached Fig. 9 In this embodiment, both sides of the first opening in the second direction b are open, the upper part is connected to the third opening, and the lower part is used to flexibly cooperate with the entry and exit of the limit column 14. At the same time, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the support rod 64 in the guide opening 15, in this embodiment, the guide opening 15 is set to have only a partial groove bottom, that is, there is a groove bottom structure at the position corresponding to the third driving position 48 and the second driving position 42 to form a first contact surface 16 and a second contact surface 17 that contact the support rod 64, that is, when the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are lifted to the middle height and the highest height, the support rod 64 is fixed by contact, and when corresponding to the first driving position 41, the first support member 6 and the second support member 7 are not lifted, and can be directly supported by the first shell 1, and then there is no need for the support of the guide opening 15. When the support rod 64 passes through the position without the groove bottom, there is no friction, which improves the smoothness. And it can be understood that the first contact surface 16 can be flush with the upper surface of the first shell 1, or it can be lower than the upper surface of the first shell 1.

[0083] Specifically, in order to ensure the overall appearance and thickness design of the input device, in this embodiment, a first slot body 18 and a second slot body 19 are provided on the first shell 1 to accommodate the third keyboard and two support members respectively. The first slot body 18 can be formed by partially bending the first shell 1. The shape of the first slot body 18 is adapted to the third keyboard. The first guide groove 12, the second guide groove 13, the guide opening 15 and the second slot body 19 are all provided on the bottom of the first slot body 18.
