[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. It should be understood that the implementation methods described below in conjunction with the drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, unless expressly stated, the "said" and "the" used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "including" used in the specification of the present application refers to the presence of the features, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the implementation of other features, information, data, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof supported by the technical field. The term "and / or" used herein refers to at least one of the items defined by the term, for example, "A and / or B" may be implemented as "A", or as "B", or as "A and B".

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] refer to Figure 1The mouse of the present application includes a mouse housing 1, a circuit board, and auxiliary parts that assist the mouse housing 1 to control the circuit board to realize signal output. The mouse switch is required to realize the "click" and "drag" actions of the mouse. The mouse switch involved in the present application refers to the elastic part of the mouse housing 1 that is pressed by external force to realize the touch control of the press switch inside the mouse. In order to realize the switching of the two touch modes of the mouse, the present application adopts a switching switch. In this embodiment, the two touch modes are micro-motion mode and light touch mode. The micro-motion mode is suitable for scenes that require low latency and high sensitivity, such as game scenes; the light touch mode is suitable for scenes that require low noise, such as office scenes and library scenes.

[0029] The switch of the present application includes a bottom shell 12, a paddle 14 movable on the inner side of the bottom shell 12, a switch sheet 13 moving synchronously with the paddle 14, and a touch bar 111 extending from the button 11 to the top of the switch sheet 13. The paddle 14 moves in a reciprocating direction along the axis of the front side of the mouse. In this embodiment, the paddle 14 moves forward to maintain the micro-switch mode, and the paddle 14 moves backward to maintain the light touch mode.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and 3The switch sheet 13 includes a substrate 131, a first push switch 132 connected to the front edge of the front surface of the substrate 131 and arranged in front of the toggle direction, and a second push switch 133 connected to the middle of the front surface of the substrate 131 is arranged behind the first push switch 132. The substrate 131 is a circuit board independent of the main circuit board and the feeding module of the mouse. The first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133 are respectively welded on the substrate 131 through their own pins, and the substrate 131 transmits the touch signal of the button 11. The substrate 131 is connected to the main circuit board and the feeding module of the mouse through cables to realize signal exchange and power supply inside the mouse. The first push switch 132 is used to realize the micro-motion mode of the button 11, and the second push switch 133 is used to realize the light touch mode of the button 11. In this embodiment, the top surfaces of the first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133 are respectively provided with contact structures, namely, the first contact 1321 and the second contact 1331. The top surfaces of the first contact 1321 and the second contact 1331 are flush, which is conducive to balancing the difference in tactile sensations generated before and after the switching piece 13 moves. In other implementations, the paddle 14 is moved forward to maintain the light touch mode, and correspondingly, the paddle 14 is moved backward to maintain the micro-motion mode, so that the implementation methods of the first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133 need to be adaptively changed, for example, the positions of the first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133 are interchanged; or replaced with other tactile modes, such as the strong feedback mode, on the basis of this embodiment, or other tactile modes are added on the basis of this embodiment, such as the strong feedback mode, so that the push switches corresponding to other tactile modes are adaptively changed without departing from the essence of this application. Furthermore, when the pair of push switches (the first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133 ) are respectively disposed at the corresponding positions of the left key and the right key, the tactile sensations of the left key and the right key can be switched synchronously.

[0031] A touch bar 111 connected to the button 11 is arranged above the switch sheet 13. Usually, the left and right buttons of the mouse are respectively formed by a thin sheet with an elastic front end, and a vertical touch bar 111 is connected below the elastic front end. The touch bar 111 touches the push switch on the circuit board to realize the input of the click action, and the circuit board converts the electrical signal to realize the output of the click signal. In this embodiment, the touch bar 111 is connected to the push switch on the front of the switch sheet 13, and the touch bar 111 transmits the external force from the button 11 to the push switch to complete the click action. When clicking, the end of the touch bar 111 is pressed to the top surface of the first contact 1321 or the top surface of the second contact 1331 respectively.

[0032] refer to Figures 2 to 4The paddle 14 includes a base sheet 141, a paddle block 142 disposed on the back side of the base sheet 141, and a locking strip 144 disposed in a hollow hole 142 of the base sheet 141 on at least one side of the paddle block 142 along a paddle direction. The locking strip 144 and the inner side wall of the hollow hole 142 form a paddle channel 145. Correspondingly, a locking block 121 matching the paddle channel 145 is disposed on the inner side surface of the bottom shell 12.

[0033] The toggle block 142 has a protrusion across the middle, which is convenient for forward and backward toggle operations, and the bottom shell 12 is provided with a toggle window 122 that exposes the toggle block 142, which is convenient for operating the toggle block 142 from the outside of the bottom shell 12. The width of the toggle window 122 is adapted to the width of the toggle block 142 body, and the length of the toggle window 122 is adapted to the reciprocating distance of the paddle 14.

[0034] The locking strip 144 is arranged in the hollow holes 142 on both sides of the toggle block 142. In the present embodiment, the hollow holes 142 are rectangular, and the locking strip 144 extends from one longitudinal side and is then connected to the same side, spanning the entire hollow hole 142. Thus, the locking strip 144 and the longitudinal side of the rectangle form a toggle channel 145. When the paddle 14 moves back and forth, the locking block 121 of the bottom shell 12 can move relatively in the toggle channel 145.

[0035] The locking bar 144 is provided with two elastic arch structures 1441 at intervals along the direction of the toggle, and the locking block 121 is provided with a protrusion 1211 that can be reversibly embedded in the arch structure 1441. In this embodiment, the arch structure 1441 on the locking bar 144 includes an arch protruding toward the toggle block 142 based on the extended baseline of the locking bar 144. Correspondingly, the locking block 121 of the bottom shell 12 is provided with a protrusion 1211 with the same protruding direction and protruding shape as the arch. The protrusion 1211 is used to fit with the arch to achieve self-locking in the toggle channel 145. Since the non-electrical connection structure in the mouse is made of plastic, the locking bar 144 is also made of plastic. With its suspended structure, the locking bar 144 has a certain elasticity. The locking block 121 can be embedded in the arch structure when an external force is increased, and can also withdraw from the arch structure when an external force is increased, thereby achieving reversible embedding. To adapt to the switching of the first push switch 132 and the second push switch 133, the locking strip 144 is provided with two arch bridge structures 1441, and the spacing distance between the two arch bridge structures 1441 is adapted to the distance between the center points of the first contact 1321 and the second contact 1331. When the distances between the two are the same, the installation and matching between the switching piece 13 and the paddle 14 are most direct. The base sheet 141 of this embodiment is provided with two locking strips 144 along its symmetry axis to form two parallel toggle channels 145, which are adapted to synchronously switch the left and right key touch modes. Correspondingly, the inner side surface of the bottom shell 12 is provided with two locking blocks 121 matching the two toggle channels 145.

[0036] In order to achieve synchronous movement of the paddle 14 and the switch piece 13, the paddle 14 and the switch piece 13 can be directly fixed to each other. One possible implementation is that a pair of positioning pins are extended from the front of the base plate 141 of the paddle 14 to abut against the back of the switch piece 13, and screws are set from the front of the switch piece 13. The screws penetrate the switch piece 13 and are fixed in the positioning pins, thereby realizing a screw-lock connection between the paddle 14 and the switch piece 13. In other implementations, the moving distance of the paddle can be controlled to adapt to the moving distance of the switch piece of a specified proportion by adjusting the torque and the lever arm.

[0037] In summary, the switching switch of the mouse of the present application includes a bottom shell, a paddle movable on the inner side of the bottom shell, a switching piece moving synchronously with the paddle, and a touch bar extending from the button to the top of the switching piece. A pair of push switches are arranged on the front of the switching piece along the paddle's toggle direction, which are used to respectively correspond to the two tactile modes of the mouse; the toggle direction is defined as the direction of reciprocating movement along the axis of the front of the mouse. The switching switch of the mouse of the present application realizes tactile switching by connecting the touch bar with different push switches, which can be realized by toggling the paddle on the bottom of the mouse, and the switching method is simple.
