The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that the structures illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read them. They are not used to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any modification or adjustment of the structure should still fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed in the present invention without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a mouse wheel encoder assembly includes an encoder fixing seat 1 and a rotating seat 2 rotatably arranged on the encoder fixing seat 1, and the rotating seat 2 is used for an external roller (not shown in the figure); the rotating seat 2 is provided with a rotating conductive sheet 21 and a plurality of protrusions 22, and the plurality of protrusions 22 are arranged around the rotating conductive sheet 21, and the encoder fixing seat 1 is provided with a fixed spring sheet 3 and a conductive part 4 for contacting the rotating conductive sheet 21, and the fixed spring sheet 3 contacts between any two protrusions 22.

[0028] Specifically, the fixing spring piece 3 includes two connecting pieces 31 and two elastic protrusions 32 . The two connecting pieces 31 and the two elastic protrusions 32 are cross-arranged and connected end to end to form a circular object.

[0029] In actual use, since the elastic protrusions 32 of the fixed spring sheet 3 symmetrically contact between two adjacent protrusions 22, when a person's finger rotates the roller to rotate the rotating seat 2, the elastic protrusions 32 cyclically jump between the multiple protrusions 22 along the direction of rotation of the roller, thereby realizing intermittent scrolling of the mouse wheel; at the same time, the rotating conductive sheet 21 also rotates intermittently with the rotating seat 2. The rotating conductive sheet 21 includes a conductive bottom sheet 211 and a plurality of suspended conductive protrusions 212. The plurality of conductive protrusions 212 all contact with the conductive part 4. The conductive protrusions 212 of this embodiment are preferably three, and the adjacent conductive protrusions 212 are arranged at an angle of 60°. They contact the conductive part 4 during this intermittent rotation, so that the encoder in the encoder fixing seat 1 counts, thereby completing the counting work of the mouse wheel.

[0030] Specifically, the two elastic protrusions 32 are respectively located at two ends of the same diameter of the fixed spring piece 3, and the fixed spring piece 3 is subjected to uniform force, so that the rolling feel of the present invention is better.

[0031] Specifically, the encoder fixing seat 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing posts 11 on one end surface close to the rotating seat 2, and the fixing spring piece 3 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 33 respectively assembled with the plurality of fixing posts 11 in one-to-one correspondence. The fixing spring piece 3 has better stability through the cooperation of the plurality of fixing posts 11 and the plurality of fixing holes 33. In this embodiment, the number of the fixing posts 11 and the fixing holes 33 is preferably two, which can effectively save production costs.

[0032] Specifically, the conductive part 4 is provided with a plurality of pins 41 extending toward the bottom of the encoder fixing seat 1, and a control board 5 is also provided at the bottom of the encoder fixing seat 1, and the pins 41 are electrically connected to the control board 5, and the control board 5 is also electrically connected to an LED 51, and a base 12 is provided extending outward from one end surface of the encoder fixing seat 1 away from the rotating seat 2, and the base 12 is provided with a first through hole 52 for exposing the LED 51. The built-in light emission of the present invention is realized by the control board 5 and the LED 51, and compared with the traditional mouse wheel encoder assembly, the structure is simple and the light emission effect is better.

[0033] Specifically, the roller encoder also includes a fixing screw 6, a screw hole 23 is provided on one end face of the rotating seat 2 close to the encoder fixing seat 1, and the encoder fixing seat 1 is provided with a second through hole 13, and the stud of the screw passes through the second through hole 13 and is screwed to the screw hole 23, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the present invention.

[0034] In summary, the mouse wheel encoder assembly of the present invention has modularized the wheel, encoder and RGB lighting effect, making the internal structure of the mouse simpler, simplifying the assembly process and reducing labor costs; solving the problems of traditional mouse cursor jumping, broken hexagonal head of the wheel and heavy feel. Compared with the traditional mouse wheel encoder assembly, the mouse wheel encoder assembly of the present invention can be matched with mouse wheels of different outer diameters at will because it is designed as a rotating seat 2 with an external wheel. The mouse wheel encoder assembly of the present invention includes the function of an encoder and adopts a universal structure, which can be used for mice of different shapes and sizes, increasing the compatibility of the present invention.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
