Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting production and management technology, and in particular to a keyboard with a display screen and customizable key functions for casting production. Background Technology

[0002] In the casting production process, it is necessary to control a large amount of data such as the weight of raw materials, the composition of molten iron or steel, and temperature. All of these data need to be recorded accurately and in a timely manner to facilitate the calculation of production costs and to trace back the data to find problems when quality issues occur.

[0003] Existing recording methods include handwritten records, standard computer keyboard recording, and touchscreen input, but each has its limitations. Handwritten records require factory workers to take time out of their busy work schedules to write the records by hand, resulting in limited accuracy and failing to achieve data digitization. Using a standard computer keyboard leads to unclear key definitions, easy confusion, and difficulty in precise and rapid operation by workers. Furthermore, the limited number of keys cannot cover all types of data that need to be entered. While conventional touchscreen input can cover the types of data that need to be entered, frequent and precise touch operations are difficult because workers in the factory typically wear gloves or have oily or greasy fingers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a keyboard with a display screen for casting production, featuring customizable key functions. The keyboard allows for customized adjustment of each key's function and accurate display of that function.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A keyboard with a display screen and customizable key functions for casting production, comprising a chassis, a display screen fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the chassis, a shortcut menu area on the same side of the display screen, a plurality of shortcut menu units within the shortcut menu area, each shortcut menu unit including a shortcut menu display screen embedded in the chassis, matching shortcut menu keys embedded in the chassis below the shortcut menu display screen, a function area on the same side of the shortcut menu area of ​​the chassis, a plurality of function units within the function area, the function area including a function display screen embedded in the chassis, matching function keys embedded in the chassis below the function display screen, a numeric keypad area on the same side of the function area of ​​the chassis, the numeric keypad area including a plurality of numeric keys embedded in the chassis, the shortcut menu keys, function keys, and numeric keys all electrically connected to the display screen, and the display screen, shortcut menu display screen, shortcut menu keys, function display screen, function keys, and numeric keys all electrically connected to a computer.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the tops of the shortcut menu button, function button and number key are all higher than the surface of the chassis.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the shortcut menu button, function button and number key are all backlit.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the backlight colors of the shortcut menu button, function button and number key are all different.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the chassis is provided with several through holes around its perimeter for routing power cables and connecting cables.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side of the chassis away from the display is provided with several mounting plates with fixing holes.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting up buttons, the problem of touchscreen operation being unresponsive when workers are wearing gloves or have oily hands, and the ease of accidental touches on standard keyboards, is effectively solved, ensuring accurate and timely data entry. The display screen above each button can update synchronously with the button function, making the meaning of the buttons clear at a glance, effectively avoiding the problems of fixed key positions and easily confused functions of traditional keyboards, and achieving clear interactive guidance.

[0012] 2. The buttons in different function areas use differentiated backlighting, which facilitates quick identification and positioning in workshop environments with complex lighting or at night, further enhancing the intuitiveness of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present utility model. Furthermore, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals denote the same elements.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 The keyboard shown is a custom keypad with a display screen for casting production. It includes a chassis 1, a display area is provided on the upper front of the chassis 1, and a screen mounting slot 101 is provided in the display area. A display screen 2 is fixedly connected in the screen mounting slot 101. The display screen 2 can be a regular screen or a touch screen. The display screen 2 is electrically connected to a computer.

[0017] As a further illustration of this example, the casting data information, such as the weight of raw materials, the composition of molten iron and steel, and temperature, can be displayed on the display screen 2. The display content of the display screen 2 can be adjusted via a computer.

[0018] A shortcut menu area 7 is located in the center of the front panel of the chassis 1. Several shortcut menu units are arranged in a horizontal linear array within the shortcut menu area 7. Each shortcut menu unit includes a shortcut menu display screen 701 located above it. The shortcut menu display screen 701 is embedded in the upper part of the chassis 1 and is electrically connected to an external computer.

[0019] Each shortcut menu display 701 has a corresponding shortcut menu button 702 located below it. The shortcut menu button 702 is embedded in the chassis 1 at the bottom, and protrudes outward from the top of the shortcut menu button 702, exceeding the surface of the chassis 1. Each shortcut menu button 702 is backlit for convenient and quick operation at night. The shortcut menu button 702 is electrically connected to the computer and the display screen 2 on top of the chassis 1.

[0020] As a further illustration of this example, the function of the shortcut menu button 702 can be adjusted via a computer, and the display content of the corresponding shortcut menu display screen 701 above it can be adjusted simultaneously. After operating the shortcut menu button 702, the display screen 2 above can display the associated content.

[0021] A functional area 5 is provided on the lower side of the front of the chassis 1. Several functional units are arranged in a rectangular array within the functional area 5. The functional units include a function display screen 501 located at the top. The function display screen 501 is embedded in the upper part of the chassis 1 and is electrically connected to the computer.
