Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technology of electronic devices, and in particular to a mouse button structure with sensitive all-round pressing. Background Art

[0002] Currently, with the continuous development of the input peripheral devices of data processing systems, the mouse is still an indispensable input device for most data processing systems and is used to perform functions such as cursor operation and positioning click on the display of the data processing system; for existing mice, clicks are generated on the display screen by pressing buttons; however, different users click the buttons at different positions, resulting in different pressing feelings and different pressing sensitivities when the users click the mouse buttons.

[0003] In addition, after long-term use of the mouse buttons, local wear will occur between the pressing part and the triggering part of the triggering switch, resulting in an empty stroke between the worn part of the pressing part and the triggering part when the user uses it, thus causing the mouse to malfunction or have a poor feel during use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, in view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a mouse button structure with sensitive all-round pressing, which through the design of buttons and rotating brackets, ensures that the triggering switch can be well triggered when pressing the front and rear sections of the button, so as to meet the usage requirements of the user's fingers operating the button at different positions, with strong practicability and suitable for popularization and application.

[0009] When pressing the front section area of the button, the first acting part makes the rotating bracket rotate downward to press the triggering switch;

[0010] When pressing the rear section area of the button, the second acting part presses the triggering switch downward.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the first acting part is pivotally connected to the first connection position, and the mouse body is provided with an upward stop structure at the first connection position of the rotating bracket, so that when the rear section area of the pressing button is pressed, the second acting part moves downward with the first connection position as the fulcrum.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the mouse body has a receiving cavity, the trigger switch and the rotating bracket are both arranged in the receiving cavity, and the button is arranged on the upper side of the mouse body; the mouse body is respectively provided with a first relief hole and a second relief hole corresponding to the first acting part and the second acting part, and the first acting part and the second acting part pass through the corresponding first relief hole and second relief hole and extend into the receiving cavity.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the button is assembled to the mouse body in a split manner, and the mouse body is provided with a preloading elastic element, and the preloading elastic element provides a downward acting force to keep the button pressed downward, and this force is less than the total force required for the button to trigger the aforementioned trigger switch.

[0014] As a preferred solution, a first limiting part extends backward from the rear end of the button, and the mouse body stops above the first limiting part.

[0015] As a preferred solution, a second limiting part extends backward from the front end of the button, and the mouse body stops above the second limiting part.

[0016] As a preferred solution, the mouse body includes an upper cover, a lower cover and a housing, and the upper and lower ends of the housing respectively have an upper end assembly window and a lower end assembly window; wherein:

[0017] The rotating bracket and the button are respectively assembled on the upper and lower sides of the upper cover, and then assembled together at the upper end assembly window of the housing;

[0018] The trigger switch is installed on the lower cover and then assembled together at the lower end assembly window of the housing.

[0019] As a preferred solution, a set of the trigger switch, the rotating bracket and the button are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper cover to correspondingly form a left button assembly and a right button assembly; a roller assembly window is arranged on the upper cover between the left button assembly and the right button assembly;

[0020] The lower cover is assembled with trigger switches arranged on the left and right sides and a roller assembly located between the left and right trigger switches, and the roller assembly is exposed in the roller assembly window.

[0021] As a preferred solution, the preloading elastic element is a torsion spring, which includes a first spring leg resiliently abutted against the first limiting portion and a second spring leg resiliently abutted against the mouse body; a second limiting portion and a second stop portion are provided on the mouse body, the second limiting portion is arranged beside the second stop portion, the second stop portion is located above the first limiting portion, a second limiting groove is provided on the second limiting portion, the first spring leg is wound around the second limiting groove, and the lower end of the first spring leg acts on the first limiting portion.

[0069] A mouse button structure with omnidirectional pressure sensitivity includes a mouse body 10 and a trigger switch 21, a rotating bracket 30, and a button 40 arranged on the mouse body 10; wherein:

[0070] The trigger switch 21 has an elastically resetable trigger portion 211; the button 40 has a first acting portion 41 and a second acting portion 42 arranged at a front-back interval; the rotating bracket 30 has a first connecting position 301 and a second connecting position 302 arranged at a front-back interval. The rotating bracket 30 can rotate up and down relative to the mouse body 10 around the second connecting position 302. The first acting portion 41 acts on the first connecting position 301; the second acting portion 42 is correspondingly located above the trigger portion 211, and both are located in the area between the first connecting position 301 and the second connecting position 302.

[0071] When pressing the front section area of the button 40, the first acting portion 41 causes the rotating bracket 30 to rotate downward to press the trigger switch 21.

[0072] When pressing the rear section area of the button 40, the second acting portion 42 presses the trigger switch 21 downward; thus, through the design of the button and the rotating bracket, it is ensured that the trigger switch can be well triggered when pressing the front and rear sections of the button, so as to meet the usage requirements of the user's finger operating the button at different positions, with strong practicability and suitable for popularization and application.
