Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mice, and more particularly, to a mouse capable of increasing height. Background Art

[0002] To meet the needs of mobile office, people need a lighter, thinner and more portable mouse, but small mice usually do not fit the palm of the hand well enough, are not comfortable to use, and will feel tired after long-term use. The existing technology can increase the height of a thin and light mouse by folding the mouse body, thereby improving the comfort of use. Other folding methods of portable mice on the market include increasing the length of the mouse by sliding the mouse shell, and the main body structure of the mouse does not fold, but such mice are usually small in size and have a flat palm rest, and do not feel good. Another method is to bend or rotate the tail of the mouse to form a palm rest curvature, and the main body structure of the mouse does not fold, but the internal components of such mice are mainly concentrated in the head. In order to make the mouse thinner, a physical scroll wheel is usually not set, and the scroll wheel function is replaced by touch. There is no middle button function that can be pressed down. After folding, this solution has a hollow side, and the fingers are not comfortable enough to hold. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mouse with increased height, which can make the mouse body pop up and rise through a switch, so as to achieve a balance between lightness, portability and comfortable hand feeling.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application provides a mouse with increased height, including an outer shell, a bottom shell, a middle shell, a switch, a slide rail top plate, a screw rod, a stepping motor, a nut slider, a module seat, and a gear set;

[0005] The nut in the nut slider is connected to the screw rod through a thread;

[0006] The slide rail top plate covers the module seat, the slider in the nut slider contacts the edge plane of the module seat and is located in the slide rail of the slide rail top plate;

[0007] The bottom shell is located at the bottom of the shell and connected to the shell. The slide rail top plate, the screw rod, the stepper motor, the nut slider, and the module seat are all located inside the shell. The stepper motor and the module seat are fixed on the bottom shell, and the slide rail top plate is fixed on the middle shell.

[0008] When the switch is started, the stepper motor drives the screw to rotate through the gear set, and the screw drives the slider in the nut slider to stick to the edge of the module seat and move along the axial direction of the screw, so that the slider pushes the top plate of the slide rail to move up and increase the height of the middle shell.

[0009] Preferably, when the mouse is in a closed state, the slider is located at the top end of the slide rail; when the mouse is in an open state, the slider is located at the bottom end of the slide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the top end of the slide rail extends counterclockwise at a first preset angle, and the bottom end extends counterclockwise at a second preset angle.

[0011] Preferably, the first preset angle is greater than the second preset angle.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating shaft of the stepper motor has a first gear on it, the first gear meshes with the gear at one end of the gear set, and the lead screw has a second gear on it, the second gear meshes with the gear at the other end of the gear set.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. It is easy to carry while taking into account the comfort of the palm. 2. When the thin mouse cover is lifted, the volume of the mouse increases while the shape remains intact, and the scroll wheel and the side of the mouse have a better grip. 3. The upper and lower shells of the mouse can both be used to arrange components, which has sufficient layout space compared to other folding mice, and a wider range of hardware selection, which is conducive to reducing product costs.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, the mouse includes: an outer shell 7, a bottom shell 9, a middle shell 8, a slide rail top plate 6, a screw rod 3, a stepper motor 1, a nut slider 4, a module seat 5, a gear set 2, and a switch. The bottom shell 9 is located at the bottom of the outer shell 7 and connected to the outer shell 7. The slide rail top plate 6, the screw rod 3, the stepper motor 1, the nut slider 4, and the module seat 5 are all located inside the outer shell 7. The stepper motor 1 and the module seat 5 are fixed on the bottom shell 9, and the slide rail top plate 6 is fixed on the middle shell 8.

[0023] A first gear is provided on the rotating shaft of the stepper motor, and the first gear is meshed with the gear at one end of the gear set 2. A second gear is provided on the lead screw, and the second gear is meshed with the gear at the other end of the gear set 2, so as to realize the transmission between the stepper motor and the lead screw. There are gears with different gear ratios in the gear set, and the torque of the stepper motor can be improved by the coordination between the gears with different gear ratios.

[0024] See also Figure 5-7 , the nut slider 4 is connected to the screw rod 3 through a thread; when the mouse is closed, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the nut slider is at the bottom of the screw rod. When the switch is turned on, the stepper motor 1 drives the screw rod 3 to rotate. The slider in the nut slider contacts the edge plane of the module seat, so that the slider cannot rotate. Therefore, when the screw rod rotates, the nut slider is driven to move axially along the screw rod, so that the nut slider moves to the top of the screw rod, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 Similarly, when the switch is turned off, the stepper motor 1 drives the screw rod 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the nut slider moves from the top of the screw rod to the bottom.

[0025] like Figure 7 As shown, the top plate of the slide rail 6 covers the module seat 5. When the slider horizontally sticks to the edge of the module seat and moves axially along the screw rod, it will give the top plate of the slide rail an upward thrust, so that the top plate of the slide rail moves upward. Since the top plate of the slide rail is fixed to the middle shell, the middle shell is also lifted accordingly, and the height of the mouse is increased. Similarly, when the switch is turned off, when the slider horizontally sticks to the edge of the module seat and moves in the opposite axial direction along the screw rod, it will give the top plate of the slide rail a downward thrust, so that the top plate of the slide rail moves downward. Since the top plate of the slide rail is fixed to the middle shell, the middle shell is also lowered accordingly, and the height of the mouse is reduced.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown in , when the mouse is in the closed state, the slider is located at the top of the slide rail; Figure 4 As shown, when the mouse is in the open and raised state, the slider is located at the bottom end of the slide rail.

[0027] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, the top of the slide rail extends counterclockwise at a first preset angle, and the bottom of the slide rail extends counterclockwise at a second preset angle, wherein the first preset angle is greater than the second preset angle, for example, the first preset angle may be 30 degrees, and the second preset angle may be 15 degrees. By extending the two ends, a plane is formed at the top of the slide rail, and an inclined surface is formed at the bottom. When the slider moves to the top of the slide rail, the plane at the top of the slide rail plays a self-locking role. The inclined surface at the bottom acts to cooperate with the gear set and the lead screw. When the mouse is lifted and subjected to greater pressure, it can rotate in the opposite direction, thereby protecting the mechanism parts from damage.

[0028] This mouse uses the cooperation of the slide rail top plate, lead screw, stepper motor, nut slider, and module seat so that the user can make the mouse body pop up and rise by simply operating a switch, achieving a balance between lightness and portability and comfortable feel.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
