Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of mouse technology, and more specifically, relates to a mouse with a balancing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing mice typically use a simple point-trigger method to achieve command control. This requires the operator to align their finger directly with the click point when clicking the mouse. When the finger deviates from the click point, i.e., when clicking different parts of the mouse, it results in inconsistent pressure, causing the mouse to have insufficient travel and short travel distance, leading to low mouse sensitivity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a mouse with a balanced structure to solve the problem in the related art where, when the finger deviates from the pressing contact position, it easily causes the mouse to have a blank travel and a short travel, resulting in low mouse sensitivity.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this application is as follows:

[0005] A mouse with a balanced structure is provided, comprising:

[0006] case;

[0007] A press-fit cover is connected to the housing, and the press-fit cover and the housing together form an accommodating cavity;

[0008] The main control component is installed in the accommodating chamber;

[0009] A balance button assembly is installed in the receiving chamber and connected to the press cover. The balance button assembly is electrically connected to the main control assembly and is used to send commands to the main control assembly when the press cover is pressed.

[0010] In this structure, the main control component and the balance button component are installed in the housing, and the balance button component is electrically connected to the main control component. When an external force is applied to the press cover, the press cover is forced to press the balance button component, causing the balance button component to conduct through the main control component, thus enabling the balance button component to send commands to the main control component. Therefore, compared with the traditional point-triggered mouse structure, this application can effectively avoid the free travel and short travel of the press cover through the balance button component, which helps to improve the mouse's pressing sensitivity.

[0011] In one embodiment, the balance button assembly includes a base mounted in the housing, a top plate connected to the press cover and located above the base, a balance structure unit for controlling the top plate to move horizontally closer to or further away from the base, and a switch structure unit for being touched by the top plate to issue a command to the main control component; the balance structure unit connects the top plate and the base, the switch structure unit is mounted on the base, and the switch structure unit is electrically connected to the main control component.

[0012] This structure, through the balancing structural unit, can control the top plate to move horizontally closer to or further away from the base, thereby avoiding the empty or short travel of the press cover due to external force not being applied accurately to the correct position, thus improving the sensitivity of the mouse.

[0013] In one embodiment, the switch structure unit includes a first circuit board mounted on the base and a first switch element mounted on the first circuit board; the first circuit board is electrically connected to the main control component, the first switch element is electrically connected to the first circuit board, and the first switch element is disposed between the first circuit board and the top plate.

[0014] In this structure, the press cover can press the first switch element through the press base, and the first switch element touches the first circuit board to send a command to the main control component.

[0015] In one embodiment, the switch structure unit includes a second circuit board mounted on the base, a plug-in socket mounted on the second circuit board, and a second switch element detachably connected to the plug-in socket; the second circuit board is electrically connected to the main control component, the plug-in socket is electrically connected to the second circuit board, the second switch element is electrically connected to the plug-in socket, and the second switch element is disposed between the second circuit board and the top plate.

[0016] This structure allows for detachable connection between the second switch and the plug-in socket, facilitating the replacement of the second switch, such as between old and new switches, or between different types of switches. This helps to improve the lifespan and versatility of the mouse.

[0017] In one embodiment, the plug-in socket includes a plug base and a conductive terminal. The plug base is mounted on the second circuit board and has a plug interface. One end of the conductive terminal extends into the plug interface, and the other end of the conductive terminal is electrically connected to the second circuit board. The second switch is provided with a conductive pin that is inserted into the plug interface and electrically connected to the conductive terminal.

[0018] With this structure, when the second switch needs to be replaced, simply pull the conductive pin out of the connector. The replacement of the second switch is convenient, quick, and efficient.

[0019] In one embodiment, one end of the second circuit board is provided with a plug plate, and the other end of the second circuit board is provided with a stepped portion; one end of the base is provided with a socket for inserting the plug plate, and the other end of the base is provided with a hook that engages with the stepped portion.

[0020] This structure, through the cooperation of the insert plate and the socket, and the cooperation of the step and the hook, allows for the quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the second circuit board and the base.

[0021] In one embodiment, the base is equipped with two clamping arms that hold the second switch, and the two clamping arms are respectively located on both sides of the second switch.

[0022] This structure uses two clamping arms to clamp and fix the second switch, improving the stability of the second switch installation.

[0023] In one embodiment, one end of the press cover is hinged to the housing, and the other end of the press cover is connected to the top plate.

[0024] This structure hinges the press cover to the housing, allowing the press cover to rotate at a certain angle relative to the housing to achieve the pressing action.

[0025] In one embodiment, a guide post is installed on the press cover, and a guide groove is provided on the housing for the guide post to extend into.

[0026] This structure, through the cooperation of guide posts and guide grooves, can guide the up and down movement of the press cover, improve the reliability of the reciprocating movement of the press cover, and thus improve the pressing accuracy of the mouse.

[0027] In one embodiment, a socket is installed at one end of the base, and a hook is installed at the other end of the base; a slot is provided on the housing corresponding to the position of the socket, and a groove is installed on the housing corresponding to the position of the hook.

[0028] This structure allows for quick and detachable connection between the base and the housing through the connection of the insert and the slot, and the connection of the hook and the slot, thus facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the balance button assembly.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The mouse with a balanced structure provided in this application embodiment will now be described. This mouse with a balanced structure may include a housing 1, a pressing cover 2, a main control component (not shown), and a balanced button assembly 3. The housing 1 is used for hand gripping to move the mouse. The pressing cover 2 is connected to the housing 1, and the pressing cover 2 and the housing 1 together form a receiving cavity. The main control component is installed in the receiving cavity and can be connected to electronic devices such as computers via a wire 11. The main control component is a commonly used control system for mice, and its specific functions are largely the same as existing mice, and will not be described in detail here. The balanced button assembly 3 is installed in the receiving cavity. The bottom of the balanced button assembly 3 can be fixed in the housing 1, and the top of the balanced button assembly 3 can be connected to the pressing cover 2. The balanced button assembly 3 is electrically connected to the main control component. When the pressing cover 2 is subjected to external force, the pressing cover 2 presses the balanced button assembly 3, and the balanced button assembly 3 can send a command to the main control component to complete the target action. Specifically, there can be two press covers 2 and two balance button components 3, with two press covers 2 and two balance button components 3 respectively, to achieve multi-functional control of the mouse. The following is a detailed description using only one press cover 2 and one balance button component 3.

[0061] In this structure, the main control component and the balance button component 3 are installed in the housing 1, and the balance button component 3 is electrically connected to the main control component. The press cover 2 is positioned above the balance button component 3. When an external force is applied to the press cover 2, the press cover 2 presses the balance button component 3, causing the balance button component 3 to conduct to the main control component, thus enabling the balance button component 3 to send commands to the main control component. Therefore, compared with the traditional point-triggered mouse structure, this application can effectively avoid the idle travel and short travel of the press cover 2 through the balance button component 3, which helps to improve the pressing sensitivity of the mouse.

[0062] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a specific embodiment of the mouse with a balancing structure provided in this application, the balancing button assembly 3 includes a base 31, a top plate 32, a balancing structure unit 33, and a switch structure unit 34. The base 31 can be installed in the housing 1 to support the balancing structure unit 33 and the switch structure unit 34. The structure of the base 31 can be adjusted accordingly based on different balancing structure units 33 and switch structure units 34, and is not limited to a single structure here. This application provides two structures for the base 31, as shown below. Figure 5 and Figure 14 As shown.

[0063] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 14One end of the base 31 is fitted with an insert 311, and the other end is fitted with a hook 312. A slot (not shown) is provided on the housing 1 corresponding to the position of the insert 311, and a slot (not shown) is provided on the housing 1 corresponding to the position of the hook 312. Specifically, the number of inserts 311, hooks 312, slots, and slots can be multiple, such as two or three, which helps to improve the connection strength between the base 31 and the housing 1. This structure, through the connection between the insert 311 and the slot, and through the connection between the hook 312 and the slot, allows for a quick and detachable connection between the base 31 and the housing 1, thus facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the balance button assembly 3.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The top plate 32 is connected to the press cover 2 and is located above the base 31. Specifically, a connecting seat 321 can be installed on the top of the top plate 32, and a mounting seat 21 connected to the connecting seat 321 is installed on the press cover 2. The number of connecting seats 321 and mounting seats 21 is the same, and there are multiple such as two, which helps to improve the connection strength between the press cover 2 and the top plate 32. With this structure, through the connection of the connecting seat 321 and the mounting seat 21, the mounting seat 21 can be inserted into the connecting seat 321 for fixation, thereby enabling a quick and detachable connection between the top plate 32 and the press cover 2.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the press cover 2 is hinged to the housing 1. Specifically, a hinge seat 12 is installed on the housing 1, and a hinge shaft 22 is installed on the press cover 2. The hinge shaft 22 is rotatably installed on the hinge seat 12, thereby enabling the press cover 2 to rotate at a certain angle relative to the housing 1 to achieve the pressing action.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The press cover 2 is equipped with a guide post 23, and the housing 1 has a guide groove 13 for the guide post 23 to extend into. Specifically, the guide post 23 can be located between the mounting base 21 and the guide post 23. This structure, through the cooperation of the guide post 23 and the guide groove 13, can guide the up and down movement of the press cover 2, improve the reliability of the reciprocating movement of the press cover 2, and thus improve the pressing accuracy of the mouse.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The press cover 2 has a limiting groove 24 at one end near the housing 1, and the edge of the housing 1 at the end near the press cover 2 extends into the limiting groove 24. This structure can limit the position of the press cover 2 by the limiting groove 24 cooperating with the edge of the housing 1.

[0068] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The balancing structure unit 33 can be disposed between the top plate 32 and the base 31, connecting the top plate 32 and the base 31. The switch structure unit 34 is mounted on the base 31 and is electrically connected to the main control component. With this structure, the balancing structure unit 33 can control the top plate 32 to move horizontally closer to or further away from the base 31. Here, "horizontally closer to or further away" can be understood as: taking the top surface of the base 31 as a reference plane, the direction in which the top plate 32 moves closer to or further away from the base 31 is perpendicular to this reference plane. That is, when the external force acting on the top plate 32 is not perpendicular to the reference plane, under the action of the balancing structure unit 33, the top plate 32 still moves horizontally closer to or further away from the base 31. In other words, the top plate 32 can achieve vertical up-and-down movement relative to the base 31, thereby avoiding the empty travel or short travel of the press cover 2 due to the external force not being accurately applied to the correct position, thus improving the sensitivity of the mouse.

[0069] In this application, three different balanced structural units 33 are provided (as shown in the figure below). Figure 5-7 (as shown) and two different switch structure units 34 (such as) Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the three different balancing structure units 33 and the two different switch structure units 34 can be arbitrarily combined to form six different mice with balancing structures. This application provides a balanced button assembly 3 formed by assembling the three different balancing structure units 33 with the first switch structure unit 34, and a balanced button assembly 3 formed by assembling the first balancing structure unit 33 with the second switch structure unit 34. The balanced button assemblies 3 formed by assembling the second balancing structure unit 33 and the third balancing structure unit 33 with the second switch structure unit 34 are similar to the balanced button assembly 3 using the first switch structure unit 34, and will not be described in detail here. Of course, in other embodiments, the structures of the balancing structure unit 33 and the switch structure unit 34 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the switch structure unit 34 can also be a photosensitive switch, a magnetic induction switch, etc., and is not limited to a single type.

[0070] Please see Figure 5The first type of balancing structure unit 33 will now be described in detail. This first type of balancing structure unit 33 includes a first rotating bracket 331 and a second rotating bracket 332, and the connection structure between the first rotating bracket 331 and the second rotating bracket 332 is a scissor-leg structure. Specifically, one end of the first rotating bracket 331 is defined as the first end, and the other end as the second end; one end of the base 31 is defined as the first end, and the other end as the second end; one end of the top plate 32 is defined as the first end, and the other end as the second end. The first end of the base 31 and the first end of the top plate 32 are directly opposite each other, and the second end of the base 31 and the second end of the top plate 32 are directly opposite each other. The first end of the first rotating bracket 331 is hinged to the first end of the base 31, and the second end of the first rotating bracket 331 is hinged to the second end of the top plate 32. The first end of the second rotating bracket 332 is hinged to the second end of the base 31, the second end of the second rotating bracket 332 is hinged to the first end of the top plate 32, and the middle position of the second rotating bracket 332 is hinged to the middle position of the first rotating bracket 331. This structure, through the rotational engagement of the first rotating bracket 331 and the second rotating bracket 332, improves the stability of the top plate 32 as it moves horizontally closer to or further away from the base 31, preventing positional shift of the top plate 32 during reciprocating up-and-down movement, thereby improving the mouse's pressing sensitivity.

[0071] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 A pressing seat 322 is mounted on the side of the top plate 32 facing the switch structure unit 34. A first opening 3310 is provided on the first rotating bracket 331, and a second opening 3320 communicating with the first opening 3310 is provided on the second rotating bracket 332. The first opening 3310 and the second opening 3320 are respectively positioned directly opposite the pressing seat 322. This structure allows the pressing seat 322 to be avoided by the first opening 3310 and the second opening 3320, thus enabling the pressing seat 322 to press the switch structure unit 34.

[0072] Please see Figure 5The first rotating bracket 331 is provided with a stop seat 3311, and the second rotating bracket 332 is provided with a corresponding stop groove 3321. Specifically, the stop seat 3311 can be located at the hinge position between the middle of the first rotating bracket 331 and the middle of the second rotating bracket 332; the limiting groove 24 can be opened at the hinge position between the middle of the first rotating bracket 331 and the middle of the second rotating bracket 332, and the stop seat 3311 extends into the stop groove 3321. The stop seat 3311 can stop against both ends of the stop groove 3321 to achieve the limiting and stopping function. This structure, through the cooperation of the stop seat 3311 and the stop groove 3321, can limit the rotation angle of the first rotating bracket 331 and the second rotating bracket 332, thereby limiting the vertical movement height of the top plate 32. The structure includes two stop seats 3311, each located at one end of the first rotating bracket 331; and two stop grooves 3321, each located at one end of the second rotating bracket 332, with the two stop seats 3311 extending into the two stop grooves 3321. This structure, through the cooperation of the two stop seats 3311 and the two stop grooves 3321, improves the limiting effect.

[0073] Please see Figure 6 The second type of balancing structure unit 33 will now be described in detail. The second type of balancing structure unit 33 may include a third rotating bracket 333 and a fourth rotating bracket 334. The structure of the third rotating bracket 333 is the same as that of the fourth rotating bracket 334, i.e., the structure of this balancing structure unit 33 is butterfly-shaped. Specifically, one end of the third rotating bracket 333 is hinged to one end of the top plate 32, and the other end of the third rotating bracket 333 is hinged to the middle of the base 31; one end of the fourth rotating bracket 334 is hinged to the middle of the base 31, and the other end of the fourth rotating bracket 334 is hinged to the other end of the top plate 32. The third rotating bracket 333 and the fourth rotating bracket 334 together form an opening through which the pressing seat 322 passes. With this structure, the top plate 32 can be smoothly moved up and down by the third rotating bracket 333 and the fourth rotating bracket 334, exhibiting high stability.

[0074] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 15The third type of balancing structure unit 33 will now be described in detail. The third type of balancing structure unit 33 may include a balancing guide rod 335 and a positioning guide post 323. One end of the balancing guide rod 335 is hinged to the base 31, and the other end is hinged to the top plate 32. The positioning guide post 323 is mounted on the top plate 32, and the base 31 has a positioning hole 313 through which the positioning guide post 323 passes. Specifically, one end of the balancing guide rod 335 is hinged to one end of the base 31, and the other end is hinged to the other end of the top plate 32, which is diagonally opposite to one end of the base 31. The balancing guide rod 335 can be formed by bending a straight guide rod, with an opening in its middle for the pressing seat 322 to pass through. With this structure, the movement of the top plate 32 can be controlled by the balancing guide rod 335; the positioning guide post 323 can guide the top plate 32, ensuring that the top plate 32 does not shift during vertical movement. The number of positioning guide posts 323 and positioning holes 313 can be two, which helps to improve the reliability of the reciprocating movement of the top plate 32. The number is not limited here.

[0075] Please see Figures 5 to 7 The first type of switch structure unit 34 will now be described in detail. The first type of switch structure unit 34 includes a first circuit board 341 and a first switch element 342. Specifically, the first circuit board 341 can be mounted on the top of the base 31 and electrically connected to the main control component; the first switch element 342 can be mounted on the top of the first circuit board 341 and disposed between the first circuit board 341 and the top plate 32, and the first switch element 342 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 341. The first circuit board 341 can be a thin-film circuit board, and the first switch element 342 can be a dome switch. In this structure, the pressing cover 2 can press the first switch element 342 through the pressing seat 322, and the first switch element 342 touches the first circuit board 341 to send a command to the main control component.

[0076] Please see Figures 5 to 7 The first type of switch structure unit 34 can be used in conjunction with the three types of balance structure units 33 mentioned above. When the first type of switch structure unit 34 adopts a dome structure, in order to prevent the pressing seat 322 from colliding hard with the dome, a pressing sleeve 35 is fitted on the pressing seat 322. The pressing sleeve 35 can be made of rubber material to provide cushioning protection for the dome.

[0077] Please see Figures 9 to 11The second type of switch structure unit 34 will now be described in detail. The second type of switch structure unit 34 may include a second circuit board 343 mounted on a base 31, a plug-in socket 344 mounted on the second circuit board 343, and a second switch element 345 detachably connected to the plug-in socket 344. The second circuit board 343 can be mounted on the bottom of the base 31 and is electrically connected to the main control component. The plug-in socket 344 can be mounted on the bottom of the second circuit board 343 and is electrically connected to it. The second switch element 345 can be mounted on the top of the second circuit board 343 and is electrically connected to the plug-in socket 344. This structure, by detachably connecting the second switch element 345 to the plug-in socket 344, facilitates the replacement of the second switch element 345, such as replacing between old and new switches, or between different types of switches, thus helping to improve the lifespan and versatility of the mouse.

[0078] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 14 The top of the base 31 may have an opening 314, and the top of the second switch 345 may have a conductive contact 3451. The conductive contact 3451 can pass through the opening 314 so that the pressing seat 322 can touch the conductive contact 3451. The opening 314 can also allow the second switch 345 to enter and exit, facilitating the replacement of the second switch 345.

[0079] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The second switching element 345 may include a tactile switch or a micro switch. In this structure, the tactile switch can be used as a mute switch, making it suitable for use in silent mice. The micro switch has the advantage of high sensitivity, making it suitable for mice requiring high sensitivity. Of course, in other embodiments, the type of the second switching element 345 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0080] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12The plug-in socket 344 includes a plug-in base 3441 and conductive terminals 3442. The plug-in base 3441 is mounted on the second circuit board 343. The plug-in base 3441 has a plug-in interface 3443. One end of the conductive terminal 3442 extends into the plug-in interface 3443, and the other end of the conductive terminal 3442 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 343. The second switch 345 has a conductive pin 3452 that is inserted into the plug-in interface 3443 and electrically connected to the conductive terminal 3442. Specifically, the number of plug-in interfaces 3443, conductive terminals 3442, and conductive pins 3452 are the same. There can be two plug-in interfaces 3443, which are spaced apart. The two conductive terminals 3442 are respectively installed at both ends of the plug-in base 3441, and each conductive terminal 3442 is detachably connected to the plug-in base 3441. Two conductive pins 3452 can be installed at intervals on the bottom of the second switch 345, and a conductive contact 3451 can be installed on the top of the second switch 345. Through the cooperation of the two conductive pins 3452 and the two conductive terminals 3442, the second switch 345 and the second circuit board 343 can be electrically connected as positive and negative poles. In this structure, when the conductive pins 3452 are inserted into the connector 3443, they abut against the conductive terminals 3442, thereby achieving the electrical connection between the second switch 345 and the second circuit board 343. When the second switch 345 needs to be replaced, simply pull the conductive pins 3452 out of the connector 3443; the replacement of the second switch 345 is convenient, quick, and efficient.

[0081] Please see Figure 12 and Figure 13 The plug-in base 3441 has a protruding boss 3444, and a plug-in interface 3443 is formed on the boss 3444. The second circuit board 343 has a through hole 3430 for the boss 3444 to extend into. Specifically, the number of bosses 3444 is the same as the number of plug-in interfaces 3443, that is, there can be two bosses 3444, which are spaced apart on the top of the plug-in base 3441; correspondingly, there can also be two through holes 3430. With this structure, the plug-in base 3441 can be detachably connected to the second circuit board 343 by inserting the bosses 3444 into the through holes 3430, which is convenient and quick to assemble and disassemble.

[0082] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14The second circuit board 343 has a plug plate 3431 at one end and a stepped portion 3432 at the other end. One end of the base 31 has a socket 315 for inserting the plug plate 3431, and the other end has a hook 316 that engages with the stepped portion 3432. Specifically, there can be two stepped portions 3432, located on opposite sides of one end of the second circuit board 343; correspondingly, there can also be two hooks 316. The two hooks 316 enhance the support for the second circuit board 343. This structure allows for convenient and quick assembly and disassembly of the second circuit board 343 from the base 31 through the engagement of the plug plate 3431 with the socket 315 and the stepped portion 3432 with the hooks 316.

[0083] Please see Figure 14 The base 31 is equipped with two clamping arms 317 for holding the second switch element 345, with the two clamping arms 317 respectively located on both sides of the second switch element 345. Specifically, the base 31 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the switch, and the two clamping arms 317 can be located on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the receiving cavity. This structure, through the two clamping arms 317, can achieve clamping and fixing of the second switch element 345, improving the stability of the installation of the second switch element 345.

[0084] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 14 The base 31 has two abutment side plates 318 installed at its two ends, and the two abutment side plates 318 are located above the second circuit board 343. This structure, by abutting the second circuit board 343 with the two abutment side plates 318, can prevent the position of the second circuit board 343 from shifting during the replacement of the second switch 345.

[0085] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 To improve the connection reliability between the top plate 32 and the base 31, two barbs 324 are installed on the side of the top plate 32 facing the base 31. In the mouse using the first type of switch structure unit 34, through holes 3410 are provided on the first circuit board 341 corresponding to the positions of each barb 324, and locking holes 310 are provided on the base 31 corresponding to the positions of each barb 324. Each barb 324 can pass through the corresponding through hole 3410 and engage with the corresponding locking hole 310. Figure 5 As shown, when using the first type of balancing structure unit 33, the first rotating bracket 331 and the second rotating bracket 332 are respectively provided with holes for each barb 324 to pass through, so as to avoid the barbs 324. In the mouse using the second type of switch structure unit 34, since the top of the base 31 has an opening 314, the two barbs 324 can engage with the edge of the opening 314 to achieve a snap-fit.

[0086] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
