[0022] The detailed description and technical content of this creation are now explained in conjunction with the diagrams as follows. Furthermore, for the convenience of explanation, the proportions of the diagrams in this creation may not be drawn according to the actual proportions. These diagrams and their proportions are not used to limit the scope of this creation, which is stated in advance. In addition, in order to clearly express the relative relationship between components, the "electrical connection" between components mentioned in the following paragraphs does not correspond to the wire lines drawn in the diagrams of this creation, so as to avoid the diagrams of this creation being too complicated.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 "and" Figure 2 ”, are respectively a side perspective schematic diagram and a bottom view schematic diagram of the ultraviolet sterilization mouse 100 of the present invention, as shown in the figure:

[0024] The invention discloses a UV sterilizing mouse 100, which includes a mouse body 10 and a UV sterilizing device 20. The UV sterilizing device 20 is disposed in the mouse body 10. The UV sterilizing device 20 can output an ultraviolet light L through the mouse body 10 toward an external space P for sterilization. The external space P can include a placement plane or an object surface, for example, a desktop (table), a keyboard surface, a file or folder surface, etc. The structures of the mouse body 10 and the UV sterilizing device 20 and their connection relationship will be introduced below.

[0025] The mouse body 10 includes a holding shell 11, a bottom cover 12, a circuit board 13, an input part 14, a displacement sensing part 15 and a power module 16. In order to clearly illustrate the positional relationship of each component relative to the bottom cover 12, the bottom cover 12 is first defined as being divided into a middle area 121, a rear end area 122 and a front end area 123. The holding shell 11 and the bottom cover 12 are combined to jointly define a accommodating space C. The circuit board 13 is disposed in the accommodating space C. The accommodating space C is divided into a bottom space C1 located between the circuit board 13 and the bottom cover 12. The input part 14 includes a plurality of buttons 141 and a roller 142 embedded in the holding shell 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 13 to provide a key input signal to the circuit board 13 and transmit it to an electronic device (not shown).

[0026] The displacement sensing portion 15 is disposed in the bottom space C1 and located in the middle area 121 of the bottom cover 12. The displacement sensing portion 15 is electrically connected to the circuit board 13. The displacement sensing portion 15 senses a displacement signal generated by the movement of the holding shell 11 (together with the bottom cover 12) and outputs a pointer control signal to the electronic device accordingly.

[0027] The power module 16 is disposed in the accommodation space C and is located above the rear end area 122 of the bottom cover 12 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 13 and the displacement sensing portion 15. The power module 16 has a battery 161 and an electrical port 162. In this embodiment, the battery 161 is a rechargeable battery, and the electrical port 162 can be connected to an external power source (for example, a computer USB port) to import power to charge the rechargeable battery. In this embodiment, the electrical port 162 can be electrically connected to the external power source through a Universal Serial Bus (USB). In other embodiments of the present invention, the battery 161 can be a dry cell battery and the power module 16 can omit the electrical port 162. In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the power module 16 can omit the battery 161, and the electrical port 162 is directly electrically connected to the circuit board 13 to provide external power for the circuit board 13 and the displacement sensing portion 15.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the electronic device is a computer. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device may be, for example but not limited to, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone or other electronic devices; and the displacement sensing unit 15 may be a yellow-red light displacement sensing unit, a blue light displacement sensing unit, an infrared displacement sensing unit, a laser displacement sensing unit or a mechanical displacement sensing unit. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this, which is stated here first.

[0029] The ultraviolet sterilization device 20 is disposed in the bottom space C1 and is located on one side of the displacement sensing portion 15. The ultraviolet sterilization device 20 includes an ultraviolet light source module 21 and a light source control module 22. The ultraviolet light source module 21, the light source control module 22 and the circuit board 13 are electrically connected to each other, and the battery 161 of the power module 16 can provide power to the ultraviolet light source module 21 and the light source control module 22. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet light source module 21 has an ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 and a light-transmitting portion 212. The ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 is located in the bottom space C1 and is located on the bottom cover 12. Above the front end area 123, the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 is electrically connected and disposed on the circuit board 13, the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 is used to output ultraviolet light L, and the light-transmitting portion 212 is disposed in a light output direction of the ultraviolet light L. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting portion 212 has a lens 212a and is a Fresnel lens and is embedded in the bottom cover 12, whereby, when the ultraviolet light L is output toward the light-transmitting portion 212, the ultraviolet light L will be concentrated by the light-transmitting portion 212 to form parallel ultraviolet light L, so as to expand the irradiation area of ​​the ultraviolet light L, thereby effectively increasing the sterilization area and the sterilization distance.

[0030] In this embodiment, the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 may be a UVC LED, and the ultraviolet light L outputted by it has a wavelength between 220nm and 280nm. The invention does not limit the type of the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211. For example, in other embodiments of the invention, the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 is a mercury lamp. The material of the light-transmitting portion 212 may be quartz, plastic, or any other material that allows ultraviolet light L to penetrate.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 ” is a schematic diagram of the operation function of the light source control module 22 of the ultraviolet sterilization mouse 100 of this invention. Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , as shown in the figure:

[0032] The light source control module 22 has a controller 221 and an operating system 222. The controller 221 is disposed in the accommodation space C and can be connected to the operating system 222 to receive an operation instruction from the operating system 222 and turn on or off the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211. The operating system 222 runs on the electronic device. The operation instruction corresponds to an operation of a user on a user interface S100 of the operating system 222. In detail, the user can perform an operation on the user interface S100 of the operating system 222, and the user interface S100 will be displayed on a screen (not shown) of the electronic device. When the user wants to perform a sterilization operation, he can first select from a main page S of the user interface S100 to further jump out a password input page S1 to generate a corresponding password input operation instruction. If the password input is correct (a numeric or graphic password can be set to be input), the user interface S100 will display a startup countdown page S12. The user further clicks on the startup countdown page S12 to generate a startup ultraviolet sterilization page S13 and a startup ultraviolet sterilization operation instruction. The controller 221 controls the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 to start after receiving the startup ultraviolet sterilization operation instruction from the operating system 222. In this way, the user can start and use the ultraviolet sterilization mouse 100 for sterilization according to needs and with safety precautions.

[0033] As mentioned above, after the use is finished, the user also selects and further goes to the password input page S1 on the main page S of the user interface S100 and inputs the password operation instruction to return to the startup countdown page S12. The user selects a shutdown ultraviolet sterilization page S14, and the controller 221 receives a shutdown ultraviolet sterilization operation instruction from the operating system 222, and controls the shutdown of the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211. In addition, if the startup countdown page S12 is displayed, but the user does not take any action, that is, the controller 221 does not receive any operation instruction, the user interface S100 will automatically return to the main page S, and the controller 221 will also control the shutdown or non-activation of the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211. In addition, in the password input page S1, the user can directly press the ESC key on a keyboard connected to the electronic device to directly go to the main page S. If the user enters the wrong password, it will jump back to the main page S. In addition, the main page S can further select and jump out a change password page S2 for the user to flexibly modify the password.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the ultraviolet light source module 21 has a single ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 and a light-transmitting portion 212. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the number of ultraviolet light emitting units 211 can be adjusted accordingly, and the light-transmitting portion 212 has at least one of a lens 212a and a light-transmitting window, that is, the light-transmitting portion 212 can have only one lens 212a or one light-transmitting window (the light-transmitting window will be described in the following paragraphs), or the light-transmitting portion 212 can have both a lens 212a and a light-transmitting window. For example, as " Figure 4 ” is a top view schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the relative positions of the multiple components in the side perspective schematic diagram of this embodiment are different from those in “ Figure 1 " is roughly the same, so the drawing is omitted, as shown in the figure:

[0035] The ultraviolet sterilization mouse 200 of the second embodiment has substantially the same mouse body 10 and the same light source control module as the first embodiment. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ultraviolet light source module 21 of the present embodiment has two ultraviolet light-emitting units 211 and two light-transmitting portions 212. The two ultraviolet light-emitting units 211 are spaced apart from each other and are disposed on one side of the displacement sensing portion 15 and are relatively located above the front end area 123 of the bottom cover 12. The two light-transmitting portions 212 are two Fresnel lenses and are embedded on the bottom cover 12 at intervals from each other. The light output by each ultraviolet light-emitting unit 211 passes through each light-transmitting portion 212 toward the external space for sterilization. In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the positions of the ultraviolet light-emitting units 211 can be adjusted, for example but not limited to the displacement sensing portion 15 being located between the two ultraviolet light-emitting units 211, which is equivalent to outputting ultraviolet light from the rear end area 122 and the front end area 123 of the bottom cover 12.

[0036] 「 Figure 5 " is a side perspective schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the ultraviolet sterilization mouse of the present invention, as shown in the figure:

[0037] The ultraviolet sterilization mouse 300 of the third embodiment has substantially the same structure of the mouse body 10 and the same light source control module 22 as the first and second embodiments. The difference between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments is that the ultraviolet light source module 21 of this embodiment has an ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 and a light-transmitting portion 212, and the light-transmitting portion 212 has a lens 212a and a light-transmitting window 212b, and the light-transmitting window 212b is embedded in the bottom cover 12. The ultraviolet light L output by the ultraviolet light emitting unit 211 changes its output direction after passing through the lens 212a and the light-transmitting window 212b in sequence and irradiates the external space P. Figure 5 The final output direction of the ultraviolet light L shown is slightly different from Figure 1The final output direction of the ultraviolet light L is shown. In other embodiments of the present invention, the light-transmitting window 212b can change the output direction and light intensity of the ultraviolet light L by changing its transparency or material.

[0038] In other embodiments of the present invention, the ultraviolet light source module 21 may include a plurality of ultraviolet light emitting units 211 and a large area of ​​light-transmitting portion 212, and the light-transmitting portion 212 directly covers the ultraviolet light emitting units 211, so that the ultraviolet light emitting units 211 output ultraviolet rays L toward the large area of ​​light-transmitting portion 212 and sterilize the external space P. In other embodiments of the present invention, the light-transmitting portion 212 may be joined to the bottom cover 12 in any manner such as but not limited to interlocking, snapping, bonding or locking, or the light-transmitting portion 212 may be integrally formed with the bottom cover 12 to simplify the manufacturing process of the ultraviolet sterilization mouse, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In summary, the UV sterilizing mouse of the present invention can effectively save storage space by combining the UV sterilizing device with the mouse, and the user can more conveniently and easily move the mouse to disinfect the environment. The UV sterilizing device and the mouse share the power module, which can also save the time of disinfecting the UV sterilizing device separately. At the same time, the light source control module is used to control the start and stop of the UV light source module, so that the user can use the UV sterilizing mouse of the present invention under the condition of taking safety precautions to avoid damage caused by misusing the UV sterilizing function under unknown conditions.

[0040] The above has been a detailed description of the present invention. However, what is described above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application for the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
