Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control technology, and in particular to a wirelessly connected five-way touch control system. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous upgrading and development of touch technology, especially the continuous decline in the cost of related components, various touch buttons and touch screens have been widely used. However, traditional touch buttons and touch screens do not have a noticeable tactile feedback when pressed at a single point. Although slight vibrations have been added to improve the tactile feedback when pressed at a single point, the overall touch experience is still unsatisfactory.
[0003] Five-way navigation typically refers to up, down, left, right, and center. Traditional five-way buttons can only achieve simple single-point pressing functions. Although they can provide a comfortable tactile feedback, in scenarios that require continuous sliding, zooming, or other similar actions, single-point pressing can only achieve similar effects through repeated taps. This results in stiff operation, low efficiency, and a lack of real-time feedback, which greatly limits the naturalness and efficiency of interaction and can no longer meet people's experience needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a wireless five-way touch control system, which solves the problem that existing five-way control cannot satisfy both the experience requirements of button and touch control.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a wirelessly connected five-way touch control system, including directional keycaps, confirmation keycaps, a touchpad, rubber components, membrane switches, and a PCB board. The PCB board is equipped with a wireless module, which transmits control signals. The control signals include control signals generated when a single point is pressed and control signals generated when touched. The touchpad is connected to the PCB board via a flexible wire to realize the touch function. The touchpad includes a directional keypad and a confirmation keypad. The directional keypad is fixedly connected to the directional keycaps, and the confirmation keypad is fixedly connected to the confirmation keycaps. When a directional keycap or a confirmation keycap is pressed, the corresponding membrane switch is pressed through the rubber component below, generating a corresponding control signal. After pressing, the rubber component springs back to its original position. Touching the directional keycaps and confirmation keycaps generates corresponding control signals.
[0006] Furthermore, both the touchpad and the PCB board are made of copper foil.
[0007] Furthermore, the surfaces of the directional keycaps and the confirmation keycaps are flush when not pressed.
[0008] Furthermore, the touchpad acquires touch signals through touch-sensitive copper foil.
[0009] Furthermore, the membrane switch is a dome switch.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a wirelessly connected five-way touch control system, including directional keycaps, confirmation keycaps, a touchpad, rubber components, membrane switches, and a PCB board. By pressing the corresponding keycap, the corresponding rubber component presses the corresponding membrane switch to generate a corresponding control signal, realizing single-point pressing and satisfying the user experience of key presses. By touching the directional keycaps and confirmation keycaps to generate corresponding control signals, the touch function is realized, satisfying the user experience of touch control. Thus, this solves the problem that five-way control cannot simultaneously satisfy the user experience of key presses and the user experience of touch control. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0012] This invention addresses the problem that existing five-way control systems cannot simultaneously satisfy the user experience requirements of both button and touch control. It provides a wirelessly connected five-way touch control system, including directional keycaps, an confirmation keycap, a touchpad, rubber components, membrane switches, and a PCB board. The PCB board is equipped with a wireless module for transmitting control signals, including control signals generated during single-point pressing and control signals generated during touch. The touchpad is connected to the PCB board via a flexible wire to implement touch functionality. The touchpad includes a directional keycap touchpad and a confirmation keycap touchpad, which are fixedly connected to the directional keycaps and the confirmation keycap touchpad, respectively. When either the directional keycap or the confirmation keycap is pressed, the corresponding membrane switch is pressed via the rubber component below, generating a corresponding control signal. After pressing, the rubber component springs back to its original position. Touching the directional keycap and the confirmation keycap generates corresponding control signals.
[0013] Furthermore, both the touchpad and the PCB board are made of copper foil.
[0014] Furthermore, the surfaces of the directional keycaps and the confirmation keycaps are flush when not pressed.
[0015] Furthermore, the touchpad acquires touch signals through touch-sensitive copper foil.
[0016] Furthermore, the membrane switch is a dome switch.
[0017] Example: The wirelessly connected five-way touch control system is packaged to form a product, the cross-section of which is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the appearance is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a housing 10, a bracket 101, directional keycaps 11, confirmation keycaps 12, a touchpad 13, directional touchpad 131, confirmation touchpad 132, a rubber component 14, a membrane switch 15, and a PCB board 16.
[0018] The touchpad 13 is connected to the PCB board 16 via a flexible wire to enable touch functionality. The flexible wire can be an FPC. The touchpad 13 includes a directional button touchpad 131 and a confirmation button touchpad 132. The directional button touchpad 131 is fixedly connected to the directional button keycap 11, and the confirmation button touchpad 132 is fixedly connected to the confirmation button keycap 12.
[0019] The outer casing 10 and the bracket 101 are used to ensure the positional relationship of each component in the wirelessly connected five-way touch control system.
[0020] When the directional keycap 11 or the confirmation keycap 12 is pressed down, the corresponding membrane switch 15 is pressed via the rubber component 14 below it, triggering a single-point press directional control signal. After the press is completed, the rubber component 14 springs back to its original position. After resetting, the surfaces of the directional keycap 11 and the confirmation keycap 12 are flush, facilitating the sliding operation in the touch function. Similarly, when the confirmation keycap 12 is pressed down, a single-point press confirmation control signal is triggered. The directional control signal and the confirmation control signal are collectively referred to as the control signal generated during a single-point press, thereby realizing the single-point press.
[0021] The touch direction keycap 11 and the confirmation keycap 12 enable touch functionality. Specifically, when a finger touches the touch direction keycap 11 and the confirmation keycap 12, the touch signal is collected by the touch-sensitive copper foil, generating a corresponding control signal to achieve the touch function, which includes single-point touch and swipe touch functions.
