Description

Wearable trigger device

technical field

The invention relates to a trigger device, in particular to a wearable trigger device.

Background technique

In recent years, with the development of the technology industry, electronic devices such as notebook computers (NB), tablet PCs (tablet PCs) and smart phones (smart phones) have frequently appeared in daily life. An electronic device is usually configured with a processor, a circuit board, a battery, an input/output interface (such as a display panel, a touch panel, a touchpad or a keyboard module) or other suitable electronic components to increase its functionality. Therefore, the forms and functions of electronic devices are becoming more and more diverse, so users can use them for different purposes according to their needs.

Taking the keyboard module as an example, a common electronic device, such as a notebook computer or a desktop computer, is usually used with a mechanical keyboard. The advantage of the mechanical keyboard is that the movement stroke of the key structure is relatively long, which can make the user feel the operation feeling of pressing the keyboard module obviously. However, the mechanical keyboard is not suitable for electronic products that pursue thinness and lightness. Therefore, currently some electronic devices, such as thin notebook computers, tend to adopt membrane keyboards (thin-film lines and key structures), which have a shorter travel distance. Alternatively, there are currently electronic devices, such as tablet computers, which use their touch panel and display panel to display the image of the keyboard module as the keyboard module, without physical keys (with no travel distance). In this way, when the user operates the above-mentioned keyboard module with his fingers, he cannot produce the operating feeling of obviously pressing the keyboard module.

Contents of the invention

The invention provides a wearable trigger device, which can be used to increase the user's operating feel when triggering an object.

The wearable trigger device of the present invention includes a base, a pressing part, a key structure and a wearing part. The pressing part is pivotally arranged on the base. The button structure is arranged between the base and the pressing part. The wearable part is arranged on the base, so that the wearable trigger device is suitable for being fixed on the object through the wearable part. When an object touches another object through the wearable trigger device, the object provides an external force to the pressing part, so that the pressing part moves toward the base and triggers the button structure.

Based on the above, in the wearable trigger device of the present invention, the wearable trigger device is adapted to be fixed on an object through a wearable part, such as a user's finger, and when the object touches another object through the wearable trigger device, such as When the user's finger touches the electronic device through the wearable trigger device, the object provides an external force to the pressing part, so that the pressing part moves toward the base and triggers the button structure. It can be seen that the button structure can provide the operating feel of simulating a mechanical keyboard when the user operates the electronic device through the wearable trigger device. Therefore, the wearable trigger device of the present invention can be used to increase the user's operating feel when triggering an object.

Detailed ways

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wearable trigger device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the wearable trigger device of FIG. 1 . Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, the wearable trigger device 100 includes a base 110 , a pressing part 120 , a button structure 130 and a wearing part 140 . The pressing member 120 is pivotally disposed on the base 110 . The button structure 130 is disposed between the base 110 and the pressing member 120 . The wearing part 140 is disposed on the base 110 , so that the wearable trigger device 100 is suitable for being fixed on an object (such as a user's finger) through the wearing part 140 . When the object contacts another object (such as an electronic device) through the wearable trigger device 100 , the object provides an external force to the pressing member 120 to move the pressing member 120 toward the base 110 and trigger the button structure 130 . In other words, the user can fix the wearable trigger device 100 on his body through the wearable part 140, such as on his finger, and then operate the electronic device through the wearable trigger device 100, such as touching an electronic device with a touch function, and then The electronic device is operated using the wearable trigger device 100 as a medium. When the user operates the electronic device with the wearable trigger device 100 , the user's fingers provide an external force to the pressing member 120 to move the pressing member 120 toward the base 110 and trigger the button structure 130 . In this way, the wearable trigger device 100 can be used to increase the user's operating feel when triggering an object.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 110 is substantially a plate-shaped member, and has a first end 112 and a second end 114 opposite to each other. Similarly, the pressing part 120 is substantially a plate-shaped member, and the pressing part 120 has a third end 122 and a fourth end 124 opposite to each other. The pressing member 120 is pivotally mounted on the first end 112 of the base 110 with its third end 122 , and its fourth end 124 corresponds to the second end 114 . Furthermore, the base 110 has an accommodating area 116 located between the first end 112 and the second end 114 . The button structure 130 is disposed between the base 110 and the pressing member 120 and is located in the accommodating area 116 . In addition, the pressing member 120 has a pressing portion 126 located between the third end 122 and the fourth end 124 . The pressing portion 126 generally presents a concave surface that is concave toward the base 110 and is suitable for accommodating a user's finger. However, in other unshown embodiments, the pressing portion 126 can also be a plane. The present invention does not limit the shapes of the base 110 and the pressing member 120 , which can be adjusted according to requirements.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wearing part 140 is, for example, a buckle, and is preferably made of a soft material, and is suitable for being fixed on the user's finger, but in other not-shown embodiments, the wearing part 140 It may also be a glove, a finger cot or other components suitable for fixing and providing comfort, and the present invention does not limit the type thereof. Accordingly, when the user fixes the wearable trigger device 100 on his finger through the wearable part 140, the user's finger is located between the wearable part 140 and the pressing part 120, and preferably contacts the pressing part of the pressing part 120. 126. When the user uses the finger to touch the electronic device through the wearable trigger device 100, for example, when touching the touch surface of the electronic device, the user provides an external force to the pressing member 120 with the finger, so that the pressing member 120 moves toward the base 110, and The button structure 130 is triggered. In this way, the user can obtain the operating feel of a simulated mechanical keyboard (that is, the operating feel is similar to pressing a mechanical keyboard), and the wearable trigger device 100 can also perform related actions after the user touches the electronic device (such as turning on or Execute the corresponding program). That is, the action of increasing the operating feel through the wearable trigger device 100 does not affect the user's touch action on the electronic device.

FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of the wearable trigger device of FIG. 1 . FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the wearable trigger device of FIG. 3 . Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 , in this embodiment, the pressing member 120 has a protruding point 128 located at the third end 122 . The protrusion 128 protrudes toward the base 110 and leans against the base 110 . Furthermore, when the object (i.e. the user's finger) does not provide external force to the pressing member 120, the protrusion 128 can be separated from the base 110 by a gap, or it can be against the base 110, and when the object provides an external force to the pressing member 120. When pressing the member 120 , the end of the pressing member 120 away from the protruding point 128 (ie, the fourth end 124 ) moves toward the base 110 through deformation. That is, when the pressing member 120 receives an external force and moves toward the base 110, the third end 122 of the pressing member 120 is limited by the convex point 128 against the base 110, and only slightly moves or does not move, while the pressing member 120 The fourth end 124 generates a larger movement stroke, and then triggers the button structure 130 . Thereby, the operating feel of the wearable trigger device 100 (from the movement stroke of the fourth end 124 of the pressing member 120 ) can be changed by adjusting the length of the pressing member 120 and the position of the bump 128 . For example, when the length of the pressing member 120 is increased, or the position of the convex point 128 is away from the fourth end 124 and close to the third end 122, the movement stroke of the fourth end 124 is increased, so that the wearable trigger device 100 has a better operating feel. as obvious.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pressing member 120 has a limiting column 129 , and the base 110 has a limiting hole 118 . The limiting column 129 is located at the fourth end 124 and extends toward the base 110 . Similarly, the limiting hole 118 is located at the second end 114 and is actually a hollow post extending from the base 110 toward the pressing member 120 , so the limiting hole 118 can also be considered as extending toward the pressing member 120 . Preferably, the extending direction of the limiting post 129 and the extending direction of the limiting hole 118 are substantially parallel to the direction of the external force. Thereby, the limiting post 129 passes through the limiting hole 118 and moves along the limiting hole 118 when the pressing member 120 moves toward the base 110 , so as to limit the moving direction of the pressing member 120 moving toward the base 110 (roughly parallel to the direction of the external force). However, the present invention does not limit the configuration of the limiting post 129 and the limiting hole 118 , which can be adjusted according to requirements.

In addition, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned wearable trigger device 100 further includes an elastic member 150 disposed between the pressing member 120 and the base 110 . Furthermore, the elastic member 150 is, for example, a coil spring, and is suitable to be sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 129 and the limiting hole 118 and between the pressing member 120 and the base 110 . When an object (ie, a user's finger) provides an external force to the pressing member 120 , the pressing member 120 moves toward the base 110 , so that the elastic member 150 deforms and accumulates elastic force along with the movement of the pressing member 120 . Relatively, when the object stops providing external force to the pressing member 120 , the elastic member 150 can release the elastic force, and push the pressing member 120 to move away from the base 110 to a position before receiving the external force through the elastic force. Thus, the elastic member 150 is suitable for accumulating elastic force when the pressing member 120 moves toward the base 110 , and is suitable for pushing the pressing member 120 away from the base 110 by releasing the elastic force, so that the pressing member 120 moves toward the base 110 by receiving an external force. The member 120 can reset automatically after it stops receiving external force. However, the present invention does not limit the type and configuration of the elastic member 150 , which can be adjusted according to requirements.

The scissor foot assembly 136 is disposed on the base 110 and connected to the pressing member 120 . Furthermore, the button structure 130 also includes a bracket 138 and a balance bar 139 . The bracket 138 is disposed on the base 110 and serves as the bottom structure of the button structure 130 , and the above-mentioned components (circuit film 132 , trigger switch 134 and scissor foot assembly 136 ) are disposed on the bracket 138 . The use of the bracket 138 helps to make the button structure 130 modular, and can be directly configured on the base 110 after being pre-assembled. In addition, the balance bar 139 is disposed on the bracket 138 and corresponds to the pressing member 120 , and can be used to balance the movement of the pressing member 120 toward the base 110 .

Accordingly, the pressing member 120 is adapted to move toward the base 110 through the scissor foot assembly 136 when an external force is provided by the object (ie, the user's finger), and trigger the trigger switch 134 on the circuit film 132 . That is, when the user's fingers provide an external force to the pressing member 120, the pressing member 120 pushes the scissor foot assembly 136 connected thereto to move toward the base 110, and thereby triggers the trigger switch 134 on the circuit film 132, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 (FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 omit to show other components of the key structure 130, so as to clearly express the state that the pressing member 120 receives an external force and moves toward the base 110 and simultaneously passes through the state of the trigger switch 134 of the trigger key structure 130) . However, the present invention does not limit the composition of the button structure 130, which can be adjusted according to requirements.

The battery assembly 170 can provide power to the circuit board 160, and the circuit board 160 can perform related operations. For example, the wearable trigger device 100 can also be equipped with an operating unit 180 . The operating unit 180 is disposed on the base 110 (shown in FIG. 2 ) and is electrically connected to the circuit board 160 and the battery assembly 170 . The operation unit 180 can be a wireless transmission module, configured on the base 110, and is suitable for connecting to an electronic device for wireless transmission, such as bluetooth (blue tooth) transmission or wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, hereinafter referred to as WiFi) transmission. In this way, the user can not only increase the operating feel and maintain the original touch function through the wearable trigger device 100, but also perform wireless transmission between the wearable trigger device 100 and the electronic device.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operating unit 180 can also be an infrared module, which is disposed on the base 110 and is suitable for operating electronic devices. For example, when the wearable trigger device 100 is fixed on the object (namely, the user's finger) by the wearable part 140, the user can use the infrared module and hand gestures in the air-spaced state to control the page displayed on the electronic device. The action of moving, zooming in, zooming out, or turning pages. Similarly, in other embodiments, the operating unit 180 can also be a sensing element, which is instead configured on the pressing member 120 and is suitable for operating an electronic device. For example, when the wearable trigger device 100 is fixed on the object (ie, the user's finger) by the wearing part 140, the user can touch the sensing element on the pressing part 120 through the finger, for example, the sensing element can be used as Use the mouse, and then move, zoom in, zoom out, or turn pages on the page displayed on the electronic device through the sensing element in the air-spaced state. It can be seen from this that the present invention does not limit the position and type of the operation unit 180, which can be adjusted according to requirements, and the wearable trigger device 100 can also be equipped with the above-mentioned operation unit 180 (such as simultaneously equipped with a wireless transmission module and an infrared module) according to requirements. or sensing elements), the present invention is not limited thereto.
