Description

A rocker type QWERTY keyboard

technical field

The utility model relates to a QWERTY keyboard, in particular to a rocker type QWERTY keyboard.

Background technique

Existing QWERTY keyboards are roughly divided into the following types:

1. The traditional QWERTY keyboard, this kind of keyboard is realized by hardware circuit, when the key is pressed, the corresponding circuit is connected, and there are many internal electronic circuits, which mainly have the disadvantages of large size and inconvenient portability.

2. Mobile phone full keyboard. This type of keyboard reduces the size of a QWERTY keyboard and manufactures it on a mobile phone or a mobile terminal, thereby improving portability. However, due to the small size, the fingers cannot be placed like a traditional QWERTY keyboard when using it, which affects the input speed. For the software full keyboard implemented by the touch screen, since the boundaries between keys cannot be sensed through touch, misoperations are more likely to occur.

3. Keyboards based on image recognition and laser projection: For example, the patent "projection virtual keyboard device" with application number 02132177.9. This type of keyboard is directly projected through holographic technology to produce a keyboard, which is more portable. However, it is cumbersome to place the device during use, and there are high requirements for light and flatness of the plane of use, which limits its use.

It can be seen that the contradiction of the QWERTY keyboard mainly lies in the trade-offs of portability, ease of use, and usage habits.

Detailed ways

The utility model will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of the utility model is not limited thereto.

Example

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the rocker-type QWERTY keyboard of this embodiment utilizes the characteristic that different rocking directions of the rocker can play multiple button functions, including left-handed rocker units L1~L5, right-handed rocker units R1~R8, microprocessor, button sending interface and LED indicator light, the rocker unit is connected with the microprocessor, the microprocessor is respectively connected with the button sending interface and LED indicator light, and the LED indicator light is located in the rocker unit Each rocker unit includes a depressible rocker 1 and a support piece 2, the support piece 2 is fixed at the end of the rocker 1, and the key sending interface is connected to the computer through a data line or a wireless signal.

In this embodiment, the specific corresponding relationship between the rocker units L1~L5 and R1~R8 is: L1—left tail finger, L2—left ring finger, L3—left middle finger, L4—left index finger, L5— Left thumb; R1—right index finger, R2—right middle finger, R3—right ring finger, R4—right tail finger, R8—right thumb, R5~R7 can be operated more flexibly, and generally use the right hand to operate; The LED indicator light comprises a first LED indicator light 3, a second LED indicator light 4 and a third LED indicator light 5, wherein the first LED indicator light 3 is used to display upper and lower case states; the rocking stick 1 comprises a four-way rocking stick and The eight-way rocker, the four-way rocker has 4 rocking directions of up, down, left, and right and a total of 5 states of pressing, and the eight-way rocker has up, down, left, right, upper left, lower left, lower right, and upper right 8 A total of 9 states of shaking and pressing; as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the pattern set on the support piece 2 is a regular quadrilateral (corresponding to the four-way rocker) or a regular octagon (corresponding to the eight-way rocker) Corresponding), it is convenient for the user to clarify the direction of the joystick 1 when using it, so as to reduce the inaccurate mistakes of pressing the direction of the joystick 1, and print black and white on the cross-section edge (thick lines are black, thin lines are white );

The microprocessor can perform mode setting, and the mode switching is realized through the rocker unit R8. When R8 rocks the rocker upwards, it is mode switching 1, which is used to switch between the keyboard normal mode and the keyboard multiplexing mode.
