[0044] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the present disclosure with the accompanying drawings. For the purpose of clear description, many practical details will be described together in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details should not be used to limit the present disclosure. In other words, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, these practical details are not necessary. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings, some conventional structures and elements will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the drawings.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a perspective view showing a mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the mouse device 100 includes a bottom shell 110 and a top shell 120. The bottom shell 110 and the top shell 120 can be combined with each other to form the overall appearance of the mouse device 100, and can be separated from each other to expose the internal components.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2A as well as Figure 2B . Figure 2A To show Figure 1 1 is a three-dimensional view of the bottom housing 110 of the mouse device 100. Figure 2B To show Figure 2A The exploded view of the bottom case 110 in FIG. Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom shell 110 includes a base 111, a waterproof cover 112 and a waterproof ring 113. The waterproof cover 112 is disposed on the base 111 and forms a waterproof space WS with the base 111 (for example, indicated at Figure 5 ). The waterproof ring 113 is airtightly clamped between the base 111 and the waterproof cover 112 to seal the waterproof space WS. For example, the waterproof cover 112 can be fixed to the base 111 by screws to tightly clamp the waterproof ring 113 between the base 111 and the waterproof cover 112, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the waterproof ring 113 can be made of an elastic and compressible material (such as rubber).
[0047] like Figure 2B As shown, in this embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a circuit board 130. The circuit board 130 is fixed on the base 111 of the bottom shell 110 and can be accommodated in the waterproof space WS. In this way, the user can directly rinse the assembled bottom shell 110 without worrying about the circuit board 130 in the waterproof space WS being damaged by contact with liquid.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows Figure 2A A top view of the bottom case 110 in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 111 of the bottom shell 110 has a plurality of drainage holes 111b. The drainage holes 111b are arranged around the outer edge of the waterproof cover 112. After the user rinses the assembled bottom shell 110, the liquid can flow to the outside of the bottom shell 110 through the drainage holes 111b.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows Figure 1 A perspective view of the top housing 120 of the mouse device 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the top shell 120 includes a middle cover 121 and an upper cover 122. The middle cover 121 is configured to be combined with the base 111 of the bottom shell 110. The upper cover 122 includes a fixing portion 122a, a cantilever portion 122b and a trigger portion 122c. The fixing portion 122a is fixed to the middle cover 121. The cantilever portion 122b is connected to the fixing portion 122a and is suspended relative to the middle cover 121. Therefore, the cantilever portion 122b can be pressed by the user to move downward toward the middle cover 121, and can be reset by its own elasticity when the user does not press it. The trigger portion 122c is connected to the cantilever portion 122b and passes through the middle cover 121. In addition, as shown Figure 2B As shown, a switch 131 is disposed on the circuit board 130. The trigger portion 122c is configured to trigger the switch 131. The combination of the cantilever portion 122b and the trigger portion 122c can be regarded as a button of the upper cover 122. The cantilever portion 122b suspended relative to the middle cover 121 can provide a feel of pressing a button. In this embodiment, the mouse device 100 is a two-button mouse, and the upper cover 122 has a left button and a right button (i.e., a combination of two sets of cantilever portions 122b and the trigger portion 122c), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0050] like Figure 2A and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom shell 110 includes a first connection structure 111a, and the top shell 120 includes a second connection structure 120a. The second connection structure 120a is detachably connected to the first connection structure 111a. During assembly, the first connection structure 111a and the second connection structure 120a can serve as a preliminary alignment structure between the bottom shell 110 and the top shell 120. Specifically, the first connection structure 111a is a protrusion, and the second connection structure 120a is a groove, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 . Figure 5 To show Figure 1 sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1 , wherein the top housing 120 is in an open position relative to the bottom housing 110 . Figure 6 To show Figure 1 Another cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1 , wherein the top housing 120 is in a closed position relative to the bottom housing 110. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, after being connected to each other, the first connection structure 111a and the second connection structure 120a can jointly form a rotation fulcrum RF. The top shell 120 is configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position relative to the bottom shell 110 based on the rotation fulcrum RF. Thereby, the convenience of the user to assemble and disassemble the top shell 120 relative to the bottom shell 110 can be effectively increased.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first connection structure 111a can be changed into a groove, and the second connection structure 120a can be changed into a protrusion, which can also achieve the purpose of jointly forming the rotation fulcrum RF after connection.
[0053] In some other embodiments, the first connection structure 111a may be a rotating shaft, and the second connection structure 120a may be a hook that is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft, which can also achieve the purpose of jointly forming the rotation fulcrum RF after connection.
[0054] like Figure 2A and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a first arc-shaped guide groove 112a and a first guide block 121a. The first arc-shaped guide groove 112a is disposed on the bottom shell 110. The first guide block 121a is disposed on the top shell 120. Specifically, the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a is disposed on the waterproof cover 112 of the bottom shell 110. The first guide block 121a is disposed on the middle cover 121 of the top shell 120 and corresponds to the left button of the upper cover 122. In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the middle cover 121 of the mouse device 100 is further provided with another first guide block 121a' corresponding to the right button of the upper cover 122, so that after the top shell 120 is assembled, the upper cover 122 can also be accurately assembled to the bottom shell 110 through guidance. The following only describes in detail the left button and the corresponding first guide block 121a.
[0055] like Figure 2A and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first guide block 121a is configured to be slidably connected with the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a. The center of curvature of the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a is at the rotation center of the rotation fulcrum RF. In this way, the combination of the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a and the first guide block 121a can be used to further enhance the convenience of the user in assembling and disassembling the top shell 120, and can also effectively reduce the assembly errors of the bottom shell 110 and the top shell 120. In some embodiments, the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a can be set on the top shell 120 instead, and the first guide block 121a can be set on the bottom shell 110 instead, which can also achieve these purposes.
[0056] In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 does not include the waterproof cover 112 and the waterproof ring 113 (i.e., the mouse device 100 is not a waterproof mouse), and the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a is disposed on the base 111 of the bottom shell 110. In practical applications, the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a can be disposed on the top shell 120 instead, and the first guide block 121a can be disposed on the base 111 instead.
[0057] like Figure 2A and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a second arc-shaped guide groove 112b and a second guide block 121b. The second arc-shaped guide groove 112b is disposed on the bottom shell 110. The second guide block 121b is disposed on the top shell 120. Specifically, the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b is disposed on the waterproof cover 112 of the bottom shell 110. The second guide block 121b is disposed on the middle cover 121 of the top shell 120 and corresponds to the left button of the upper cover 122. In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the middle cover 121 of the mouse device 100 is further provided with another second guide block 121b' corresponding to the right button of the upper cover 122, so that after the top shell 120 is assembled, the upper cover 122 can also be accurately assembled to the bottom shell 110 through guidance. The following only describes in detail the left button and the corresponding second guide block 121b.
[0058] like Figure 2A and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second guide block 121b is configured to be slidably connected to the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b. The distance from the second guide block 121b to the rotation fulcrum RF is greater than the distance from the first guide block 121a to the rotation fulcrum RF (see Fig. 7A and Figure 7B ). The center of curvature of the second arc guide groove 112b is at the rotation center of the rotation fulcrum RF. The combination of the second arc guide groove 112b and the second guide block 121b can not only achieve the same technical effect as the combination of the first arc guide groove 112a and the first guide block 121a, but the use of these two pairs of combinations can also increase the guiding stability of the top shell 120 during assembly and disassembly. In some embodiments, the second arc guide groove 112b can be changed to be set on the top shell 120, and the second guide block 121b can be changed to be set on the bottom shell 110, which can also achieve these purposes.
[0059] In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 does not include the waterproof cover 112 and the waterproof ring 113 (i.e., the mouse device 100 is not a waterproof mouse), and the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b is disposed on the base 111 of the bottom shell 110. In practical applications, the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b can be disposed on the top shell 120 instead, and the second guide block 121b can be disposed on the base 111 instead.
[0060] Please refer to Fig. 7A as well as Figure 7B . Fig. 7A To show Figure 1 0 is another cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1 , wherein the top housing 120 is located at a first position between the open position and the closed position relative to the bottom housing 110 . Figure 7B To show Figure 1Another cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1, wherein the top shell 120 is located at a first position relative to the bottom shell 110. In this embodiment, when the top shell 120 is moved from the open position relative to the bottom shell 110 (see FIG. Figure 5 ) is rotated toward the closed position to the first position (see Fig. 7A ), the first guide block 121a enters the first arcuate guide groove 112a from the opening of the first arcuate guide groove 112a. At the same time, the second guide block 121b is located outside the second arcuate guide groove 112b, such as Figure 7B shown.
[0061] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the first guide block 121a to enter the opening of the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a, the opening of the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a may be designed to have a funnel-like expanded shape.
[0062] Please refer to Fig. 8A as well as Figure 8B . Fig. 8A To show Figure 1 0 is another cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1 , wherein the top housing 120 is located at a second position between the first position and the closed position relative to the bottom housing 110 . Figure 8B To show Figure 1 Another cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. 1, wherein the top shell 120 is located at a second position relative to the bottom shell 110. In this embodiment, when the top shell 120 is moved from the first position (see FIG. Figure 7B ) is rotated toward the closed position to the second position (see Figure 8B ), the second guide block 121b enters the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b through the opening of the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b. At the same time, the first guide block 121a is further located in the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a through the opening of the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a (see Fig. 8A ).
[0063] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the second guide block 121b to enter the opening of the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b, the opening of the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b may be designed to have a funnel-like expansion shape.
[0064] It can be seen that by connecting the first connecting structure 111a and the second connecting structure 120a to form a rotation fulcrum RF, when the top shell 120 rotates from the open position to the closed position, the first guide block 121a will first enter the first arc guide groove 112a, and then the second guide block 121b will enter the second arc guide groove 112b. Since these two pairs of combinations are aligned in sequence, not at the same time, the sense of obstruction during assembly can be effectively reduced.
[0065] Please refer to Fig.9A as well as Fig. 9B . Fig.9A To show Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in which the latch 115 is not pressed. Fig. 9B To show Fig.9A Another partial cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the invention, wherein the latch 115 is pressed. Fig.9A and Fig. 9B In the present embodiment, the top shell 120 is located in a closed position relative to the bottom shell 110. The mouse device 100 further includes a latch 115. The latch 115 is disposed on the bottom shell 110. The top shell 120 has a snap-fit portion 121c. Specifically, the latch 115 is disposed on the base 111 of the bottom shell 110, and the snap-fit portion 121c is disposed on the middle cover 121 of the top shell 120. The latch 115 is configured to snap-fit the snap-fit portion 121c when the top shell 120 is located in the closed position, so that the top shell 120 cannot rotate relative to the bottom shell 110 and leave the closed position. In the present embodiment, the latch 115 and the snap-fit portion 121c are both in the shape of hooks and snap-fit with each other, such as Fig.9A and Fig. 9B However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0066] The buckle 115 is configured to be pressed to disengage the buckle portion 121c. Specifically, the buckle 115 is a sliding button and is slidably disposed in the assembly hole 111c of the base 111. The buckle 115 can be pressed along the assembly hole 111c toward the inside of the mouse device 100. When the buckle 115 is pressed to disengage from the buckle portion 121c, the top shell 120 can be rotated relative to the bottom shell 110 without hindrance and leave the closed position.
[0067] like Fig.9A and Fig. 9B As shown, in this embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a reset member 140. The reset member 140 is, for example, a spring, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The reset member 140 is disposed on the base 111 and is configured to abut against the latch member 115 so that the latch member 115 is in a non-pressed position relative to the base 111 (e.g., Fig.9A When the latch 115 is pressed toward the inside of the mouse device 100, the reset member 140 is squeezed by the latch 115 to store elastic potential energy. When the latch 115 is released, the reset member 140 releases the elastic potential energy and pushes the latch 115 back to reset it.
[0068] In some embodiments, the buckle 115 and the base 111 are two parts of a single body structure (i.e., the two are integrally formed). When the buckle 115 is pressed toward the inside of the mouse device 100, the buckle 115 can be elastically deformed relative to the base 111. When the buckle 115 is released, the buckle 115 can be elastically restored and reset.
[0069] In some embodiments, the latch 115 may be disposed on the top shell 120 instead, and the buckling portion 121c may be disposed on the bottom cover instead, which can also achieve the purpose of buckling the buckling portion 121c when the top shell 120 is in the closed position.
[0070] like Figure 2A , Figure 4 and Fig. 7A As shown, in the present embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a first magnetic component 151 and a second magnetic component 152.

The first magnetic component 151 and the second magnetic component 152 are aligned with each other and attract each other when the top shell 120 is in the closed position, so that the top shell 120 cannot rotate relative to the bottom shell 110 and leave the closed position. Specifically, the first magnetic component 151 is disposed in the first arc-shaped guide groove 112a and is adjacent to its opening, and the second magnetic component 152 is disposed on the first guide block 121a, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. In actual applications, the first magnetic component 151 and the second magnetic component 152 can be located at any position inside the mouse device 100. In addition, as mentioned above, since the distance from the second guide block 121b to the rotation fulcrum RF is greater than the distance from the first guide block 121a to the rotation fulcrum RF, when the top shell 120 rotates from the open position and rotates to the closed position relative to the bottom shell 110, the movement distance of the second guide block 121b will be greater than the movement distance of the first guide block 121a.
[0071] In some embodiments, both the first magnetic member 151 and the second magnetic member 152 are magnets. In some embodiments, one of the first magnetic member 151 and the second magnetic member 152 is a magnet, and the other of the first magnetic member 151 and the second magnetic member 152 includes ferromagnetic material to be attracted by the magnet.
[0072] In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 may only include the combination of the buckle 115 and the buckle portion 121c and omit the combination of the first magnetic member 151 and the second magnetic member 152. In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 may only include the combination of the first magnetic member 151 and the second magnetic member 152 and omit the combination of the buckle 115 and the buckle portion 121c.
[0073] like Figure 2A , Figure 4 and Fig. 7AAs shown, in the present embodiment, the mouse device 100 further includes a third magnetic component 153 and a fourth magnetic component 154. The third magnetic component 153 is disposed on the bottom shell 110. The fourth magnetic component 154 is disposed on the top shell 120. The third magnetic component 153 and the fourth magnetic component 154 are aligned with each other and attract each other when the top shell 120 is in the closed position, so that the top shell 120 cannot rotate relative to the bottom shell 110 and leave the closed position. Specifically, the third magnetic component 153 is disposed in the second arc-shaped guide groove 112b and away from its opening, and the fourth magnetic component 154 is disposed on the second guide block 121b, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. In actual applications, the third magnetic component 153 and the fourth magnetic component 154 can be located at any position inside the mouse device 100.
[0074] In some embodiments, the third magnetic member 153 and the fourth magnetic member 154 are both magnets. In some embodiments, one of the third magnetic member 153 and the fourth magnetic member 154 is a magnet, and the other of the third magnetic member 153 and the fourth magnetic member 154 includes ferromagnetic material to be attracted by the magnet.
[0075] In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 may only include the combination of the buckle 115 and the buckle portion 121c and omit the combination of the third magnetic member 153 and the fourth magnetic member 154. In some embodiments, the mouse device 100 may only include the combination of the third magnetic member 153 and the fourth magnetic member 154 and omit the combination of the buckle 115 and the buckle portion 121c.
[0076] Please refer to Fig.10 , which shows Figure 1 Another partial cross-sectional view of the mouse device 100 in FIG. Figure 2A and Fig.10 As shown, in the present embodiment, the bottom shell 110 further includes a waterproof pad 114. The waterproof cover 112 has a through hole 112c. The waterproof pad 114 seals the through hole 112c. Specifically, the waterproof pad 114 is airtightly engaged with the inner edge of the through hole 112c. Therefore, external liquid can be isolated from the outside of the waterproof cover 112 and cannot enter the waterproof space WS through the through hole 112c. The trigger portion 122c of the upper cover 122 is opposite to the switch 131 on the circuit board 130 across the waterproof pad 114. When the user presses the cantilever portion 122b of the upper cover 122, the trigger portion 122c moves downward to press the waterproof pad 114, and triggers the switch 131 across the waterproof pad 114 to generate a signal to control the mouse.
[0077] Please refer to Fig.11 , which is a partial cross-sectional view showing a mouse device 100 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.10In the embodiment shown, the present embodiment provides a modified waterproof pad 214. Specifically, the waterproof pad 214 of the present embodiment abuts the inner surface of the waterproof cover 112 in an airtight manner and completely covers the through hole 112c. Thus, the waterproof pad 214 of the present embodiment can also achieve the purpose of preventing external liquid from entering the waterproof space WS of the waterproof cover 112 through the through hole 112c.
[0078] In some embodiments, the waterproof pad 214 covers a portion of the switch 131. Therefore, when the waterproof cover 112 is assembled to the base 111, the inner surface of the waterproof cover 112 can be directly pressed against the waterproof pad 214 to achieve an airtight effect.
[0079] From the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, it can be clearly seen that in the mouse device of the present disclosure, the first connection structure of the bottom shell and the second connection structure of the top shell can jointly form a rotation fulcrum after connection, so that the top shell can rotate between the open position and the closed position relative to the bottom shell based on the rotation fulcrum. In addition, during the period when the top shell rotates from the open position to the closed position relative to the bottom shell, the arc guide groove provided on one of the bottom shell and the top shell can guide the guide block provided on the other of the bottom shell and the top shell. In this way, the convenience of the user to assemble and disassemble the top shell can be effectively increased, and the assembly error of the bottom shell and the top shell can be effectively reduced. In some embodiments, the mouse device includes a plurality of combinations of arc guide grooves and guide blocks, and during the period when the top shell rotates from the open position to the closed position, the guide blocks of different combinations do not enter the corresponding arc guide grooves at the same time, so that the sense of obstruction during assembly can be effectively reduced. In addition, in the mouse device of the present disclosure, the bottom shell has a waterproof space that can accommodate electronic components such as circuit boards. Thereby, after the user disassembles the top shell, the user can directly rinse the separated bottom shell and top shell, and reassemble the bottom shell and top shell after cleaning.
[0080] Although the present disclosure has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure shall be determined by the appended claims.
