[0026] The present invention is described in detail below using a mouse as a specific example. When implemented, the structure of the present invention can also be applied to a VR handle, a remote controller, a game handle, a touch pen, and the like.
[0027] In this embodiment, the housing includes a bottom housing 1 and a top housing 2, which are mounted together to form a housing. A foot pad 18 is mounted at the bottom of the bottom housing 1, which can make the mouse slide more smoothly and reduce the wear on the bottom housing 1 during use.
[0028] A control board 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottom shell 1, and a control circuit is arranged on the control board 6. A button 7 is mounted on the control board 6. The number and installation position of the buttons 7 can be specifically set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the buttons 7 include a left button, a right button, a middle button, and a side button, etc. When the structure of the utility model is used in other products, the number and position of the buttons are set according to the specific product. In this embodiment, a charging interface 8 is mounted on the control board 6, and the utility model can be charged. A battery 10 is mounted in the housing, and the utility model is powered by the battery 10. In this embodiment, the battery 10 is a lithium battery.
[0029] In this embodiment, the mouse adopts a photoelectric mouse structure, that is, a photoelectric module 9 is installed on the control board 6, and the cursor operation can be controlled by the photoelectric module 9. In specific implementation, the utility model can also be applied to a mechanical mouse, that is, a mouse ball is installed in the mouse, and the cursor movement is controlled by the mouse ball.
[0030] In this embodiment, the mouse adopts a three-button mouse structure, that is, a mouse wheel 3 is installed on the control panel 6. When a two-button mouse is adopted, the mouse wheel may not be provided.
[0031] In this embodiment, the TEC semiconductor material 17 is a Thermoelectric Cooler semiconductor material, also known as a Peltier cooler. The TEC semiconductor material 17 is composed of two different types of semiconductor materials, usually an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor. When current passes through the connection between the N-type semiconductor material and the P-type semiconductor material, the thermoelectric effect causes one side to become colder and the other side to become hotter. In this embodiment, the TEC semiconductor material 17 can be made of bismuth telluride, indium selenide, or thallium selenide.
[0032] In this embodiment, the heat conduction structure uses a heat conductive sheet 16, and the heat conductive sheet 16 is preferably made of a deformable material so that it can better fit the heat conductive sheet 16 and the inner wall of the surface shell 2. In specific implementation, thermal conductive silicone grease material or other materials with good thermal conductivity can be used.
[0033] One side of the TEC semiconductor material 17 is attached to the heat conduction structure, and the other side is attached to the heat dissipation structure. When the TEC semiconductor material 17 works in the cooling state, the heat generated by it can be dissipated through the heat dissipation structure. When the TEC semiconductor material 17 works in the heating state, the cold air generated by it can be dissipated through the heat dissipation structure.
[0034] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure includes a heat dissipation bracket 11, heat dissipation fins 14 and a fin fixing frame 15. The heat dissipation fins 14 are fixedly mounted on the fin fixing frame 15, and the fin fixing frame 15 is fixedly mounted on the heat dissipation bracket 11, that is, the heat dissipation fins 14 are fixedly mounted on the heat dissipation bracket 11 through the fin fixing frame 15, and the TEC semiconductor material 17 is mounted together with the fin fixing frame 15. In specific implementation, the fin fixing frame 15 may not be set, and the TEC semiconductor material 17 may be directly mounted together with the heat dissipation fins 14.
[0035] In this embodiment, a fan 13 is installed on the heat dissipation bracket 11. The fan 13 is arranged corresponding to the heat dissipation fins 14 to accelerate the heat dissipation or cooling of the heat dissipation fins 14. An air inlet 4 and an air outlet 5 are provided on the outer shell for internal air circulation. In this embodiment, the air inlet 4 and the air outlet 5 are both provided at the bottom of the bottom shell 1 to reduce the impact on the user. The air inlet 4 and the air outlet 5 are arranged relative to each other.
[0036] In this embodiment, an air guide plate 12 is fixedly provided on the heat dissipation bracket 11 , and the air guide plate 12 allows the air entering from the air inlet 4 to pass through the heat dissipation fins 14 more smoothly, which is more conducive to the heat dissipation or cooling of the heat dissipation fins 14 .
[0037] When the utility model is in use, when a direct current passes through a galvanic couple (i.e., TEC semiconductor material 17) composed of two different semiconductor materials, one end of the galvanic couple absorbs heat and the other end releases heat. The TEC semiconductor material 17 is composed of a pair of N-type and P-type semiconductors, which are connected by electrodes to form a cold end and a hot end. Under the action of an external electric field, the heat generated by the current in the semiconductor is transferred from one end of the TEC semiconductor material 17 to the other end, thereby generating a "hot" side and a "cold" side on the TEC semiconductor material 17. The change in the direction of the current will cause the hot and cold end faces of the TEC semiconductor material 17 to switch. Therefore, the TEC semiconductor material 17 can be cooled or heated, and can be switched freely.
[0038] During cooling: the mouse or VR handle is powered by an external power supply or a built-in battery, and the circuit passes through the TEC semiconductor material 17. When the DC current passes through the positive and negative electrodes of the PN, the surface of the TEC semiconductor material 17 absorbs heat and cools down. The low temperature surface is transferred to the mouse shell and the palm position through a set of heat conducting sheets 16 to achieve cooling. The bottom hot end is connected to another set of heat dissipation structures to transfer the heat generated by the TEC semiconductor material 17 to the heat dissipation fins 14, and then the fan 13 increases the heat dissipation fins 14 to exchange heat with the air, and achieves rapid heat dissipation through the designed air duct.
[0039] When heating: through the N-type and P-type principles of the TEC semiconductor material 17, the direction of the DC current is switched, and the cold end and the hot end of the cooling surface are switched to achieve heating, and then transferred to the mouse shell and the palm position through a set of heat conduction mechanisms to achieve heating.
[0040] There are two ways to switch between cooling and heating:
[0041] (a) Manual switching: Manual switching is achieved by switching the direction of the DC current through the switch control circuit.
[0042] (b) Automatic switching: Add a set of temperature control circuits inside the shell, collect temperature through NTC to monitor the surface temperature of the mouse in real time, and preset the temperature threshold in the control circuit. The control circuit controls the switching to achieve the switching between cooling and heating, so as to achieve constant temperature of the mouse.
[0043] The utility model uses the Peltier effect of TEC semiconductor materials to achieve cooling and heating, and transfers the temperature to the surface of the mouse or VR handle through a set of heat conduction mechanisms, and the contact position with the palm to achieve heating and cooling, so that the user's experience is better. The utility model can manually or automatically switch cooling and heating to adapt to the ambient temperature and increase physical comfort. It can also adaptively adjust the internal heating and cooling devices according to the set temperature to maintain a constant mouse temperature, increase temperature comfort, and improve problems such as stiff fingers at low temperatures and sweaty hands in high temperatures in summer. In particular, it improves the use effect and experience in scenarios where e-sports mice have high requirements for operation.
