Description

절첩식 키보드장치Folding keyboard device

본 고안은 절첩식 키보드장치에 관한 것으로, 특히 힌지에 의해 상호연결되어 절첩가능한 보드섹션으로 구성된 절첩식 키보드장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a collapsible keyboard device, and more particularly to a collapsible keyboard device consisting of a foldable board section interconnected by a hinge.

정보통신기술의 발전에 따라 컴퓨터의 사용이 보편화 되고 있으며, 컴퓨터의 성능 향상과 함께 노트북 컴퓨터 등과 같이 소형화 과정도 급격히 진행되고 있다.With the development of information and communication technology, the use of computers is becoming more common, and the miniaturization process such as notebook computers is progressing rapidly with the improvement of computer performance.

이러한 컴퓨터 사용에 있어서는 사용자가 컴퓨터를 조작하고 컴퓨터에 정보를 입력시키기 위한 주변장치(peripheral device)가 필요하며, 주변장치중에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 것으로 키보드장치가 있다.In such computer use, a peripheral device is required for a user to operate a computer and input information into the computer, and a keyboard device is one of the most widely used peripheral devices.

키보드장치는 문자키, 숫자키 및 기타의 다수의 기능키를 구비하여 사용자가 원하는 문자 등의 입력 및 컴퓨터를 다루는데 필요한 조작명령을 제공하며, 기본적으로 마이크로프로세서에 의하여 동작가능한 코드의 변환에 필요한 인터페이스회로를 포함한다.The keyboard device is provided with character keys, numeric keys, and a number of other function keys to provide inputs such as characters desired by the user and operation commands necessary to handle a computer. An interface for converting codes operable by a microprocessor is basically provided. It includes a circuit.

그런데, 키보드장치는 사용자가 손으로 정보를 입력하기 위해 키보드장치상의 키가 일정한 크기와 간격을 갖도록 제작되어야 하며, 또 필요한 모든 키가 구비되어야 사용하는데 불편함이 없게 된다. 따라서 컴퓨터본체의 크기를 소형화하더라도 키보드장치의 소형화에 따른 제약에 의해, 전체적인 시스템을 소형화하는데 일정한 한계가 존재한다. 또한, 컴퓨터본체만을 소형화하고 일반적인 크기를 갖는 키보드장치를 휴대하여 필요한 경우 컴퓨터본체에 부착하여 사용하는 것은 전체적인 시스템의 이동성을 제한하게 되므로 소형화에 따른 실익이 별로 없게 된다.However, the keyboard device should be manufactured so that the keys on the keyboard device have a certain size and spacing for the user to input information by hand, and all the necessary keys should be provided to avoid inconvenience. Therefore, even if the size of the computer body is downsized, there is a certain limit to downsizing the entire system due to the limitations caused by the downsizing of the keyboard device. In addition, miniaturizing the computer main body and carrying a keyboard device having a general size and attaching to the computer main body when necessary is limited to the mobility of the entire system, so there is little benefit from miniaturization.

따라서 본 고안의 목적은, 휴대하기 편리하며 소형화가 가능한 키보드장치를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard device that is convenient to carry and miniaturized.

상기 목적은, 본 고안에 따라, 힌지에 의해 상호연결되어 절첩가능한 적어도 두개의 보드섹션과, 상기 보드섹션상에 배열된 다수의 키와, 상기 보드섹션들 사이에 개재되는 신호전달용 케이블을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 절첩식 키보드장치에 의해 달성된다.The object comprises, according to the present invention, at least two board sections foldable interconnected by hinges, a plurality of keys arranged on the board sections, and a signal transmission cable interposed between the board sections. It is achieved by a folding keyboard device characterized in that.

이하, 도면을 참조하여 본 고안을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

도 1은 본 고안에 따른 키보드장치의 사시도이고, 도 2는 평면도이다. 본 키보드장치(10)는 적어도 두 개 이상의 보드섹션(11,12,13,14)으로 구성되며, 각 보드섹션(11,12,13,14)은 힌지(hinge)(15)에 의해 상호연결되어 절첩가능하도록 되어 있다. 각 보드섹션(11,12,13,14)내에는 통상의 키보드회로가 분산되어 각각 배치되고, 신호전달용 케이블(18)에 의해 각 보드섹션(11,12,13,14)내의 회로는 전기적으로 접속되어 전체적으로 하나의 키보드회로를 구성한다. 보드섹션(11,12 ,13,14)중 하나에는 입출력단자(20)가 형성되어 있어서, 컴퓨터 본체와 키보드장치(10)를 접속하게 되며, 이러한 입출력단자(20)대신 커넥터 등을 사용하여 컴퓨터본체와 직접 접속되도록 구성하는 것도 가능하다.1 is a perspective view of a keyboard device according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view. The keyboard device 10 comprises at least two board sections 11, 12, 13, 14, each board section 11, 12, 13, 14 being interconnected by a hinge 15 It is foldable. In the board sections 11, 12, 13, and 14, ordinary keyboard circuits are distributed and disposed, and the circuits in the board sections 11, 12, 13, and 14 are electrically connected by the signal transmission cable 18. Are connected to form a keyboard circuit as a whole. One of the board sections 11, 12, 13, and 14 is provided with an input / output terminal 20, which connects the computer main body with the keyboard device 10, and instead of the input / output terminal 20, It is also possible to comprise so that it may be connected directly with a main body.

보드섹션(11,12,13,14)상에는 다수의 키(key)(30)가 형성되어 있다. 이러한 키(30)들은 숫자키, 문자키 및 다수의 기능키들로 이루어 지며, 필요에 따라 추가의 키(30)를 설치하여 부가적인 기능을 갖도록 할 수 있다. 또한, 보드섹션(11,12,13,14)상의 키(30)들은, 키보드장치(10)가 펼쳐진 상태에서 사용하게 되므로 일반적인 키보드장치(10)에 사용하는 기호가 붙은 버튼식 키를 사용하여 구성하는 것도 가능하다. 그러나, 키보드장치(10)의 절첩을 용이하게 하고, 절첩시 부피를 줄이기 위해서는 키패드나 터치스위치 등을 사용하여 키(30) 자체의 높이를 무시할 수 있도록 구성하는 것이 바람직하다.A plurality of keys 30 are formed on the board sections 11, 12, 13, 14. These keys 30 are composed of numeric keys, character keys and a plurality of function keys, and may be provided with additional functions by installing additional keys 30 as necessary. In addition, the keys 30 on the board sections 11, 12, 13, 14 are used in the expanded state of the keyboard device 10, so that a button-type key with a symbol used for the general keyboard device 10 is used. It is also possible to configure. However, in order to facilitate folding of the keyboard device 10 and to reduce volume during folding, it is preferable to configure the key 30 itself so as to ignore the height of the key 30 itself.

터치스위치는 보통 두개의 동판을 콘덴서로 작동시켜 인체의 손가락 끝이 두 개의 동판 사이에 접촉하는 경우 발생하는 동판의 용량변화를 이용하거나, 터치플레이트 등에 손가락이 닿는 순간 인체로부터 유기되는 험 전압을 이용하여 스위치소자를 동작시키는 방식을 사용하는데, 이러한 터치스위치 등을 사용하여 키보드장치(10)의 키(30)를 구성하는 경우 사용자는 키(30)를 누룰 필요가 없게 되므로 키보드장치(10)의 사용이 보다 편리해진다.The touch switch usually operates two copper plates as a condenser and uses the change in capacity of the copper plate generated when the fingertips of the human body are in contact between the two copper plates or the hum voltage induced from the human body when the finger touches the touch plate. By using a method of operating a switch element, such as using a touch switch to configure the key 30 of the keyboard device 10, the user does not need to press the key 30 so that the keyboard device 10 It is more convenient to use.

한편, 키보드장치(10)는 절첩이 가능하므로 네개의 보드섹션(10,11,12,13)으로 구성된 키보드장치(10)를 절첩한 경우에는, 도 3에 나타낸 바와 같이, 키보드장치(10)를 펼쳤을 경우에 비해 면적이 4분의 1 크기로 된다. 따라서 휴대하기 간편할 뿐 만아니라 키보드장치(10)와 접속되는 컴퓨터 시스템의 전체 크기를 소형화하는데 도움이 된다. 그리고, 키보드장치(10)를 펼쳤을 경우에는 크기 제한이 별로 없게 되므로, 통상의 키보드장치(10)와 같은 크기로 제작하거나 여러 가지 다른 기능을 부가할 수 있게 되므로 키보드장치(10)를 사용하는데도 불편함이 없게 제작할 수 있다.On the other hand, since the keyboard device 10 can be folded, when the keyboard device 10 including four board sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 is folded, the keyboard device 10 is shown in FIG. Compared to the case of spreading the area becomes one fourth the size. Therefore, it is not only easy to carry but also helps to downsize the overall size of the computer system connected to the keyboard device 10. In addition, when the keyboard device 10 is unfolded, there is not much size limitation, so it is inconvenient to use the keyboard device 10 because it can be manufactured in the same size as the conventional keyboard device 10 or various other functions can be added. I can produce it without a box.

상기한 키보드장치는 필요에 따라 적당한 개수와 크기를 갖는 보드섹션으로 구성하는 것이 가능하며, 필요에 따라서는 가로방향으로 키보드장치를 구획하여 상하로 연결되는 보드섹션으로 구성한 키보드장치도 가능하다. 이에 따라 여러가지 종류의 컴퓨터에 부착하여 다양한 응용이 가능하다.The keyboard device may be configured as a board section having an appropriate number and size as needed, and a keyboard device may be configured as a board section connected up and down by dividing the keyboard device in a horizontal direction as necessary. Accordingly, it is possible to attach various kinds of computers to various applications.

이상 설명한 바와 같이, 본 고안에 따르면, 힌지에 의해 상호연결되어 절첩가능한 보드섹션으로 구성되어 휴대하기 간편하며 소형화가 가능한 키보드장치가 제공된다.As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a keyboard device that is easy to carry and miniaturized by being configured as a foldable board section interconnected by a hinge.
