Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of touch technology, and in particular to a touch device with computing function. Background Technology

[0002] Touchpads are common information input devices used to connect to electronic devices for operation and control. Current touchpads generally do not have a standalone calculator function. To implement calculator functionality, they typically need to be used with an electronic device, employing a calculator application to perform calculations on the numbers output from the touchpad and then displaying the results on the device. Alternatively, a separate, independent calculator can be used.

[0003] When using a touchpad with an electronic device, the calculator software on the device is controlled via the touchpad to perform calculations. However, this requires looking up at the display screen for the results, completely disrupting the calculator user experience. Without turning on the electronic device, the calculation results are unavailable and cannot be applied. Therefore, requiring the electronic device to be turned on for calculations is relatively cumbersome and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0064] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0065] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0066] See Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a touch device with computing function, including: a housing 10, a touch panel 20, a control circuit board 30, and a display module 40, wherein the touch panel 20 is mounted on the housing 10; as Figure 1 As shown, the touchpad 20 is mounted above the housing 10 and is used to place a finger on the touchpad 20 during operation. The movement or clicking of one or more fingers can send touch signals to the control circuit board 30 through the touchpad 20.

[0067] The control circuit board 30 is installed inside the housing 10. The control circuit board 30 is connected to the touch panel 20. The control circuit board 30 is also connected to an electronic device via wired or wireless means to acquire touch signals through the touch panel 20 and perform touch operations on the electronic device using these touch signals. Specifically, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the control circuit board 30 includes a touchpad interface and a microcontroller controller. The touchpad 20 is connected to the microcontroller controller via the touchpad interface. Thus, the microcontroller controller can receive touch signals from the touchpad 20 through the touchpad interface. The microcontroller controller can communicate with the electronic device via wired or wireless means to control the electronic device based on the touch signals. Specifically, the microcontroller controller may include a wireless communication module, which can be a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module within the microcontroller controller can transmit and receive wireless signals via a wireless antenna, enabling wireless communication with the electronic device and data transmission and reception. Alternatively, the microcontroller controller can also communicate with the electronic device via a USB interface 4013 for wired data transmission and reception. Under user control, the touchpad 20 generates touch signals and outputs them to the microcontroller controller via the touchpad interface. The microcontroller controller converts these touch signals into control commands for the electronic device, which are then transmitted to the electronic device via Bluetooth wireless communication or USB wired communication, allowing the electronic device to be controlled.

[0068] The display module 40 is connected to the control circuit board 30. The control circuit board 30 also performs mathematical calculations based on the touch signal and displays the calculated numbers and / or calculation results through the display module 40. Figure 1 As shown, the display module 40 is mounted on the housing 10 and positioned above the touchpad 20. The display module 40 has multiple digital tubes 4011, which can display numbers / operation symbols, etc. The microcontroller is also connected to the display module 40 to perform mathematical operations based on the touch signals, and displays the calculated numbers and / or the results through the display module 40. Specifically... Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the touchpad 20 is provided with any one or more of the following: numbers, operators, or touch signal identifiers, to facilitate the input of numbers or operators when using the calculator. Switching between the calculator and the touchpad 20 can be done via a toggle switch or directly through a specific area of ​​the touchpad 20. When switching functions via the touchpad 20, the calculator or touchpad 20 function can be switched through a designated area of ​​the touchpad 20. For example, as... Figure 1The area similar to the character "Chang" shown in the figure is used for function switching. When the touchpad 20 is in the calculator function, touching the area similar to the character "Chang" can switch to the normal touch function. In this case, except for the area similar to the character "Chang" in the touchpad 20, the rest of the area is the touch area. By moving or clicking a finger in these areas, the manipulation of the electronic device can be achieved. Similarly, when it is necessary to switch to the calculator function, touching the area similar to the character "Chang" can switch to the calculator function. In the calculator function, the touchpad 20 is divided into multiple areas with different functions. The specific function areas can be as shown in the numbers, operators or touch signal identifiers on the upper surface of the touchpad 20 in Figure 1 . By clicking different areas with a finger, different signals can be input to the microcontroller. For example, when clicking on the area marked with the character "3", the number 3 can be output to the microcontroller. When clicking on the area of "+", the operator + can be input to the microcontroller. If the areas of the character "2" and the "=" operation area are continuously touched, the calculation input of 2 + 3 = 5 can be completed. Among them, the microcontroller can also send the input numbers, operators and calculation results to the display module 40 for display. In this way, it can be used as a calculator for mathematical operations and also as a touchpad 20 for manipulating the electronic device. Integrating the two functions together and without adding control buttons 301 makes the overall device thinner and lighter, facilitating user carrying.

[0069] Refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the touch device with calculation function further includes an elastic bracket 50. The elastic bracket 50 includes: a support block 501, the support block 501 is installed in the housing 10, and a top block 5011 is provided in the middle of the support block 501; a button 301 is provided at the corresponding position of the control circuit board 30 and the top block 5011. The button 301 is used to抵触 with the top block 5011 when the control circuit board 30 is pressed, so as to generate a pressing control signal. As shown in Figure 2 , in the touch mode, by moving and clicking a finger on the touchpad 20, a moving or button 301 signal can be generated. In addition, a pressing signal can also be generated by means of a physical button 301. A physical button 301 is provided on the back of the control circuit board 30. When in use, the user can press the touchpad 20. The deformation of the touchpad 20 can drive the control circuit board 30 to move towards the support block 501, so that the physical button 301 on the control circuit board 30 can抵触 with the top block 5011. In this way, the pressing action of the physical button 301 can be achieved, and the physical button 301 generates a pressing signal. This pressing signal is transmitted to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller can send this pressing signal to the electronic device as a right mouse button signal to achieve the manipulation of the electronic device.

[0070] See Figures 2 to 4 The elastic support 50 further includes an elastic element 502, which is installed inside the housing 10 and located above the support block 501. A button through-hole 50231 is provided on the elastic element 502 corresponding to the top block 5011, providing elastic support for the button 301. When pressed via the touchpad 20, the touchpad 20 and control circuit board 30 will deform accordingly. When the pressing position is different, the balance effect is poor, affecting the downward movement of the physical button 301. The button through-hole 50231 guides the downward movement of the button 301. The elastic element 502, positioned between the support block 501 and the control circuit board 30, provides more stable support and better balance for the touchpad 20 assembly, maintaining a good, firm, and elastic pressing effect even when pressed at any local position.

[0071] See Figure 3 The elastic element 502 includes: a mounting and fixing part 5021, an elastic connecting part 5022, and an intermediate support part 5023. The elastic element 502 is mounted and fixed to the housing 10 through the mounting and fixing part 5021. The elastic connecting part 5022 includes four serpentine elastic elements 502. The four corners of the intermediate support part 5023 are elastically connected to the four corners of the mounting and fixing part 5021 through the four serpentine elastic elements 502. The button through hole 50231 is disposed on the intermediate support part 5023. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting and fixing parts 5021 are distributed around the elastic member 502. Each mounting and fixing part 5021 is also provided with a positioning wing 50211, and the positioning wing 50211 is also provided with a positioning hole. The mounting and fixing parts 5021 and the housing 10 can be mounted and fixed relative to each other through the positioning holes using screws or other fasteners. Since the elastic connecting parts 5022 are connected to the intermediate support part 5023 and the mounting and fixing parts 5021 respectively, elastic support can be provided for the intermediate support part 5023. There are four serpentine elastic members 502. Two of the four serpentine elastic members 502 are respectively connected to two corners of the mounting and fixing part 5021, and the other two of the four serpentine elastic members 502 are respectively connected to the other two corners of the mounting and fixing part 5021. By using four serpentine elastic elements 502 to connect to each corner of the mounting and fixing part 5021, the connection between the middle support part 5023 and the mounting and fixing part 5021 can be made more reliable and stable, and a relatively balanced state can be achieved, thereby improving the stability and balance of the support for the touch panel 20 and the control circuit board 30.

[0072] See Figure 2and Figure 4 , the display module 40 includes: a display circuit board 401, on which multiple LED lights 4012 are provided, and the multiple LED lights 4012 form multiple digital tubes 4011 to display the operation numbers and / or operators and / or operation results; the housing 10 includes a main housing 101 and a bottom case 102, and the main housing 101 and the bottom case 102 are fixedly connected; at positions corresponding to each of the LED lights 4012 on the main housing 101, digital tube 4011 through slots are respectively provided, and each LED light 4012 is respectively located in the corresponding digital tube 4011 through slot. As Figure 2 shown, multiple LED lights 4012 are provided on the display circuit board 401, and every 7 LED lights 4012 can be arranged according to the positions of the Chinese character "日", so as to form a digital tube 4011. Among them, one digital tube 4011 can display numbers from 1 to 9. In the embodiment of the present invention, multiple LED lights 4012 can form 10 digital tubes 4011, so as to achieve the display of 10 digits. In addition, the remaining LED lights 4012 can also be used for the display of punctuation marks and operators. Thus, the display of the operation numbers and / or operators and / or operation results can be achieved. As Figure 4 shown, at positions corresponding to each of the LED lights 4012 on the main housing 101, digital tube 4011 through slots are respectively provided, and each LED light 4012 is respectively located in the corresponding digital tube 4011 through slot. In this way, since each LED light 4012 is separated by the digital tube 4011 through slot, the light between each LED light 4012 will not affect and interfere with each other. In this way, the indication of the digital tube 4011 composed of LEDs is more accurate.

[0073] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the display module 40 includes: a light-transmitting plate 402, at positions corresponding to the multiple LED lights 4012 on the main housing 101 that form multiple digital tubes 4011, light-transmitting plate 402 grooves are provided, and the light-transmitting plate 402 is installed on the light-transmitting plate 402 grooves, and the light-transmitting plate 402 is used for transmitting light of each of the LED lights 4012 for display. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the light-transmitting plate 402 is arranged above the main housing 101. In this way, the LED light 4012 can pass through the digital tube 4011 through slot and penetrate from the light-transmitting plate 402. Through the light-transmitting plate 402, on the one hand, the display circuit board 401 can be protected to prevent liquid, dust, etc. from entering the display circuit board 401. In addition, through the light-transmitting pattern on the light-transmitting plate 402, the numbers, symbols, etc. that need to be displayed can be better transmitted externally, making the display of numbers and symbols clearer and more distinct.

[0074] Refer to Figure 2and Figure 4 The touch device with computing function also includes a battery 60, which is installed inside the housing 10 to power the touch panel 20, control circuit board 30, and display module 40. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery 60 is installed inside the housing 10, thus powering the touchpad 20, control circuit board 30, and display module 40. This eliminates the need for an external power source, making it more convenient for mobile use and portability.

[0075] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display circuit board 401 further includes a USB interface 4013, a charging circuit, and a power switch 4014. The USB interface 4013 is used to connect to a charging device to introduce power. The USB interface 4013 can be a Type-C USB interface 4013. Electronic devices can be connected through the Type-C USB interface 4013 to control the electronic devices. In addition, a charger can be connected through the USB interface 4013 to introduce power.

[0076] The charging circuit is connected to both the USB interface 4013 and the battery 60 to charge the battery 60. The charging circuit can convert the voltage of the incoming power supply. That is, the power supplied through the USB interface 4013 is converted into the charging voltage of the battery 60, thereby charging the battery 60, while also providing overcurrent and overvoltage protection during charging.

[0077] The power switch 4014 is connected to the power output terminal of the battery 60 to control the power supply output from the battery 60 to the touchpad 20, control circuit board 30, and display module 40. The power switch 4014 controls the power output of the battery 60. When the touch device is not in use, the power output of the battery 60 can be cut off by the power switch 4014, thus reducing battery power loss and extending battery life. The power supply output of the battery 60 can be converted to 3.3V by a transformer circuit to power the various circuit modules.
