Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0040] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0041] See also Figure 1 An embodiment provides a mouse, such as a wired mouse or a wireless mouse; the mouse includes a shell component 10, a movement component 20, a button component 30, a mouse wheel 40, and other functional components that exist as needed.

[0042] In order to describe the mouse more clearly and in detail, the structural construction of the mouse is mainly explained below by taking the button component 30 as the left mouse button 30a or the right mouse button 30b as an example; it can be understood that the number of button components 30 is set to two, and the two button components 30 are symmetrically arranged about the mouse wheel 40 to form the left mouse button 30a and the right mouse button 30b respectively.

[0043] It should be noted that the button assembly 30 may also be other functional buttons in the mouse, such as an adjustment button for adjusting the sensitivity of the mouse.

[0044] See also Figure 1 The shell assembly 10 can be understood as a collection of related functional components that constitute the general outline of the entire mouse; for example, the shell assembly 10 can adopt an arc-surface shell body structure that can adapt to the shape of the palm and conform to ergonomic design. The shell assembly 10 can provide a structural shell space for other components of the mouse, and the user can place, hold, and move the mouse through the shell assembly 10.

[0045] See also Figure 1 The movement assembly 20 can be understood as a collection of related functional components installed inside the shell assembly 10 to realize the mouse function; for example, the movement assembly 20 can include a key switch 21 that is arranged in conjunction with the left mouse button 30a and the right mouse button 30a, a control board 22 that plays a role in regulation and management, an optical sensor, etc. The key switch 21 and the optical sensor are arranged on the control board 22; the movement assembly 20 can also include an energy storage battery, a signal wireless transceiver device, etc.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The shell assembly 10 includes a base member 11 and a cover member 12; wherein the cover member 12 is a shell structure with a certain volume space, for example, the cover member 12 is an arc shell structure that can adapt to the shape of the palm and conform to the human body process design when the mouse is held in the palm; the base member 11 is fixed to the cover member 12 by means of clamping, bonding, welding, screw locking, etc., so as to form a shell space for accommodating the movement assembly 20 between the base member 11 and the cover member 12.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the movement assembly 20 can be centrally installed on the base member 11, or dispersedly installed on the base member 11 and the surface cover member 12; the mouse wheel 40 is exposed from the surface cover member 12 and is rotatably arranged on the movement assembly 20 or the base member 11; and the button assembly 30 (specifically the left mouse button 30a and the right mouse button 30b) is symmetrically arranged on the surface cover member 12 about the mouse wheel 40.

[0048] Of course, the structure selection and design of the housing assembly 10 may also refer to existing mice, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 10 The key assembly 30 includes a pressing member 31 and an elastic member 32. The pressing member 31 has a fixed portion 31a and a movable portion 31b connected along the length direction of the pressing member 31; wherein the movable portion 31b is arranged outside the housing assembly 10 facing the key switch 21, and is mainly used to press and trigger the key switch 21; the fixed portion 31a is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 10 (for example, locked, clamped, etc.) at one end away from the movable portion 31b in the length direction, so that the movable portion 31b can be structurally kept relatively separated from the housing assembly 10, and structural support can be provided for the movable portion 31b to move relative to the housing assembly 10 or the key switch 20 along the inner and outer directions of the pressing member 31.

[0050] The elastic member 32 may be a spring sheet structure having a preset length, or may be other suitable structures having a preset length and capable of elastic deformation in the inward and outward directions; the elastic member 32 is arranged on the inner side of the pressing member 31 in the inward and outward directions, and one end of the elastic member 32 in the length direction is connected to the shell assembly 10 or the fixed portion 31a or between the shell assembly 10 and the fixed portion 31a, and the other end of the elastic member 32 in the length direction is connected to the movable portion 31b.

[0051] The elastic member 32 can provide the pressing member 31 with an elastic force that causes the movable portion 31b to move in the inner and outer directions toward the side away from the key switch 21. Specifically, when the movable portion 31b is pressed by an external force and moves in the inner and outer directions toward the side close to the key switch 21, the elastic member 32 can store elastic potential energy as it undergoes elastic deformation; when the external force is removed, the elastic member 32 releases the elastic potential energy to cause the movable portion 31b to move away from the key switch 21; this process is repeated to achieve the click triggering of the key switch 21.

[0052] Please note that Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 When the button assembly 30 is used as the left button 30a or the right button 30 of the mouse, the length direction mentioned above can be understood as the length direction of the entire mouse. Usually, the button assembly 30 is arranged at the head end of the mouse or shell assembly 10 in the length direction, and the tail end of the mouse or shell assembly 10 in the length direction can usually be understood as the part for the palm to hold; the inside-outside direction mentioned above can be understood as the inside-outside direction of the entire mouse or the movement direction of the movable part 31b, or the up and down direction of the mouse when it is placed on a carrier such as a desktop and is used normally; that is, the inside-outside direction and the length direction are usually two directions that intersect with each other.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A depression area 10a is formed on the outer side of the top surface of the head end of the shell component 10 (specifically, the face shell 12). It can be understood that the surfaces of other areas of the top surface of the shell component 10 protrude from the surface of the depression area 10a; the button component 30 and the mouse wheel 40 are mainly arranged in the depression area 10a; wherein, the movable portion 31b is arranged on the outer side of the shell component 10 in the form of covering the depression area 10a, and the fixed portion 31a extends into the interior of the shell component 10 at the edge position of the depression area 10a in the length direction, and is fixedly connected to the shell component 10 (such as the face shell 12).

[0054] By means of the height difference formed between the sedimentation area 10a and other areas of the top surface of the shell assembly 10, the movable portion 31b can be arranged in a position corresponding to the sedimentation area in a form that is approximately suspended and separated; in specific implementation, a hollow structure that connects the shell space with the outside can be set in the sedimentation area 10a, so that the movable portion 31b or a part of the inner side of the pressing member 31 can extend into the shell space through the hollow structure, thereby contacting and pressing the key switch 21 to trigger the key switch 21.

[0055] In other embodiments, based on the selected setting of the structural configuration of the shell assembly 10 and the pressing member 31, the fixed portion 31a may also be arranged on the outside of the shell assembly 10 and fixedly connected to the shell assembly 10; as long as the movable portion 31b can face the push switch 21 and move relative to the shell assembly 10 or the push switch 21 in the inward and outward directions.

[0056] Based on this, the elastic member 32 can give the pressing member 31 sufficient elasticity without being limited by the material used for the pressing member 31 (for example, a pressing member made of metal material or plastic material), thereby ensuring that when the external pressing force of the button assembly 30 (specifically the movable part 31b) is removed, the pressing member 31 can quickly return to its original state under the elastic force provided by the elastic member 32, or the movable part 31b can return to its original position; this not only makes the operation of the button assembly 30 more labor-saving and smooth, and the response more sensitive, so as to effectively improve the user experience of the mouse; at the same time, the elastic member 32 is hidden on the inner side of the pressing member 31, and will not affect the outer contour structure of the button assembly 30 or the entire mouse, which is conducive to maintaining the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the mouse.

[0057] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10The elastic member 32 has a telescopic portion 32a and an elastic arm portion which are arranged in connection with each other; wherein the telescopic portion 32a is a structural form capable of elastically telescopic deformation in the inward and outward directions, such as a spiral spring structure, etc. The telescopic portion 32a is connected between the fixed portion 31a and the shell assembly 10 (specifically, the face shell member 12) along the inward and outward directions or the direction in which elastic telescopic deformation occurs, and the elastic arm portion is extended along the length direction, and one end of the elastic arm portion away from the telescopic portion 32a in the length direction is connected to the movable portion 31b.

[0058] Exemplarily, the elastic arm portion includes a first elastic arm 32b and a second elastic arm 32c arranged at an angle, for example, the first elastic arm 32b and the second elastic arm 32c are symmetrical about the central axis of the telescopic portion 32a, so that the elastic member 32 as a whole presents a structure similar to an "eight" shape or a torsion spring; wherein, one end of the first elastic arm 32b in the length direction is connected to the outer end of the telescopic portion 32a in the inner and outer directions, and the other end is connected to the junction of the fixed portion 31a and the movable portion 31b, and one end of the second elastic arm 32c in the length direction is connected to the outer end of the telescopic portion 32a in the inner and outer directions, and the other end is connected to the junction of the fixed portion 31a and the movable portion 31b.

[0059] Therefore, by virtue of the structural form in which the telescopic portion 32a can undergo elastic telescopic deformation in the inward and outward directions, an elastic component force can be provided for the movable portion 31b to move outward in the inward and outward directions relative to the shell assembly 10 or the key switch 21, and by virtue of the structural feature in which the elastic arm portion is extended along the length direction, a corresponding elastic component force can be provided for the movable portion 31b to swing with the connection between the fixed portion 31a and the shell assembly 10 or the telescopic portion 32a as the base point, which is beneficial for enhancing the overall elasticity of the pressing member 31 or the key assembly 30; at the same time, by arranging the first elastic arm 32b and the second elastic arm 32c at an angle, the force balance of the pressing member 31 can be ensured.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the elastic member 32 can be integrally formed of an elastic material, for example, a single steel wire is subjected to machining processes such as bending to form an integrally structured telescopic portion 32a, a first elastic arm 32b and a second elastic arm 32c.

[0061] In other embodiments, the elastic member 32 may also adopt other suitable structural forms. For example, the telescopic portion 32 adopts a folding sheet structure, and the first elastic arm 32b or the second elastic arm 32c is formed by extending from one end of the telescopic portion 32 along the length direction.

[0062] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The fixed portion 31a is arranged inside the housing assembly 10, and one end of the fixed portion 31a away from the movable portion 31b in the length direction is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 10, for example, the fixed portion 31a is snapped or locked on the inner wall of the face shell 12. The housing assembly 10 is provided with a guide structure 13 on the shell wall (specifically, the inner wall of the face shell 12) outside the fixed portion 31a in the in-outward direction. The guide structure 13 can be a columnar structure extending in the in-outward direction. The guide structure 13 penetrates the fixed portion 31a at a position relatively close to the junction of the fixed portion 31a and the movable portion 31b, and the telescopic portion 32a is sleeved on the guide structure 13, and the outer end of the telescopic portion 32a in the in-outward direction abuts against the fixed portion 31a.

[0063] Therefore, the fixing structure 13 can limit the deformation direction of the telescopic portion 32 a to ensure that the telescopic portion 32 a or the elastic member 32 can provide an effective elastic force for the movable portion 31 b to move away from the key switch 21 .

[0064] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A limiting structure 14 is provided at one end of the guide structure 13 located on the inner side of the fixed portion 31a in the inward and outward directions. The limiting structure 14 can be a component such as a screw threadedly connected to the guide structure 13, or can be a protruding structure provided on the circumferential surface of the guide structure 13. The limiting structure 14 can support the inner end of the telescopic portion 32a in the inward and outward directions, so that the telescopic portion 32 is restricted between the limiting structure 14 and the fixed portion 31a in a form similar to clamping; at the same time, based on the selection of the limiting structure 14 (for example, using components such as screws), support can be provided for convenient and quick disassembly of the elastic member 32.

[0065] In one embodiment, see Figures 2 to 10 The pressing member 31 also has a connecting portion 31c, the outer end of the connecting portion 31c in the inner and outer directions is connected to the movable portion 31b, and the inner end is connected to the fixed portion 31a. The movable portion 31b and the fixed portion 31a are connected as a whole through the connecting portion 31c to form an integrated structure of the pressing member 31; at the same time, by connecting the inner and outer ends of the connecting portion 31c with the fixed portion 31a and the movable portion 31b, a certain height difference can be formed between the fixed portion 31a and the movable portion 31b to adapt to the structural form of the shell assembly 10 (specifically, the sedimentation area 10a), ensuring that the movable portion 31b has a sufficient range of motion.

[0066] Accordingly, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10The first elastic arm 32b and the second elastic arm 32c are provided with a hook structure 32d at one end away from the telescopic part 32a in the length direction. The hook structure 32d can be formed by bending the first elastic arm 32b or the second elastic arm 32c outward along the inward and outward directions. The first elastic arm 32b and the second elastic arm 32c can be connected to the connecting part 31c in the form of a hook through their respective hook structures 32d, thereby establishing a structural connection relationship between the elastic member 32 and the movable part 31b, and facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the elastic member 32.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figures 7 to 10 The main material of the shell assembly 10 is metal material, such as magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy, nickel alloy, zinc alloy and other metal materials with good structural strength; illustratively, the surface shell member 12 is an integrated structure made of metal material, and the base member 11 is an integrated structure made of metal material.

[0068] As for the key assembly 30, the pressing member 31 is an integrated structure made of metal materials such as magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy, nickel alloy, zinc alloy, etc.; at the same time, the key assembly 30 also includes a touch-pressure structure 33 of a plastic material (such as polycarbonate, ABS plastic), and the touch-pressure structure 33 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the movable part 31b in the inner and outer directions by bonding, clamping, etc. For example, the touch-pressure structure 33 can be a structural member adapted to the inner surface contour shape of the movable part 31b; and at least a portion of the touch-pressure structure 33 penetrates the surface shell 12 (for example, through the hollow structure of the surface shell 12) and extends into the shell space.

[0069] Therefore, by means of the pressing piece 31 made of metal material and the shell component 10 made of metal material, the entirety of the mouse (such as the outer contour) can be made into a metal structure, which effectively enhances the overall structural strength and metal texture of the mouse, while making the mouse wear-resistant, stable, heavy, and having a long service life; at the same time, the touch-pressure structure 33 made of plastic material is used as a functional component for the button component 30 to contact and press the button switch 21, which can not only avoid damage to the button switch 21 due to hard collision and pressure, but also reduce mechanical noise, which is beneficial to improving the operating experience of the button component 30 or the mouse.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the base member 11, the surface shell member 12 and the pressing member 31 can all adopt a hollow structure, which can not only reduce the overall weight of the mouse, but also save the production cost of the mouse and help enhance the overall appearance of the mouse.

[0071] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6, the outer material or surface material of the shell component 10 and the key component 30 is made of carbon fiber; specifically, the pressing member 31 is an integrated structure made of plastic material, and the key component 30 also includes a protective member 34 made of carbon fiber material, which at least covers the active part 31b and is arranged on the outside of the pressing member 31 in the inner and outer directions; illustratively, the protective member 34 can be set as a sheet structure or shell structure adapted to the outer contour of the active part 31b to cover the outer surface of the active part 31b; the protective member 34 can also be set in the form of a material layer to cover the partial surface or the entire surface of the pressing member 31. Correspondingly, the face shell 12 (or together with the base member 11) includes a frame part made of plastic material and a molded part made of carbon fiber material, and the molded part covers the outer side of the frame part in the inner and outer directions.

[0072] The surface of the pressing piece 31 is constructed into carbon fiber material by the protective piece 34, and the surfaces of the face shell piece 12 and the base piece 11 are constructed into carbon fiber material by the molding part, so that the material of the entire exposed surface of the mouse is mainly carbon fiber material. Based on the characteristics of the carbon fiber material, it can not only effectively enhance the wear resistance and structural strength of the mouse, but also help to reduce the overall weight of the mouse; at the same time, the pressing piece 31 made of plastic material is used as a shaping structure of the protective piece 34, and the skeleton part of the plastic material is used as a shaping structure of the molding part. There is no need to perform complex structural design on the carbon fiber material, and a button assembly 30 and a shell assembly 10 with a fixed and relatively complex structural form can be formed, which can effectively reduce the production cost and difficulty of the mouse.

[0073] For some examples, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A pressing piece 31 made of plastic material can have a touch-pressure structure 33 disposed on the inner side of the pressing piece 31 facing away from the protective piece 34 in the inner and outer directions, so that the touch-pressure structure 33 can be used as a structural component for the pressing piece 31 or the button assembly 33 to contact and press the button switch 21.

[0074] In some embodiments, compared with other parts of the mouse, the button assembly 30 is a frequently operated functional component in the mouse, and is more likely to be damaged or worn; therefore, the pressing member 31 can be made of metal material, or the pressing member 31 can be made of plastic material and the protective member 34 can be made of carbon fiber material; and the main material of the shell assembly 10 can also be made of other materials, such as plastic material.

[0075] In one embodiment, see Figure 6The pressing member 31 and the protective member 34 are two opposite structural members, and a fixing structure is provided between the pressing member 31 and the protective member 34 so as to fix the protective member 34 on the pressing member 31 by using the fixing structure; at the same time, it is also convenient to disassemble, assemble and replace the protective member 34 according to needs.

[0076] For example, the fixing structure includes a bayonet structure 30c and a convex structure 30d that are aligned and matched; wherein the bayonet structure 30c is arranged at the edge of the contour of the pressing member 31 (specifically, the movable portion 31b), and the convex structure 30d is arranged at the protective member 34; by virtue of the structural feature that the convex structure 30d can be aligned and embedded in the corresponding bayonet structure 30c, the protective member 34 can be fixed to the pressing member 31 in the form of a snap connection. At the same time, by selecting the setting positions of the bayonet structure 30c and the convex structure 30d, the fixing structure can be hidden between the protective member 34 and the pressing member 31 to maintain the structural integrity of the button assembly 30, which is conducive to improving the appearance of the mouse; of course, the setting positions of the bayonet structure 30c and the convex structure 30d can also be exchanged, that is, the bayonet structure 30c is arranged on the protective member 34, and the convex structure 30d is arranged on the pressing member 31.

[0077] For example, the fixing structure includes a socket structure 30e and a pin structure 30f that are matched in position. The socket structure 30e is arranged to pass through the pressing member 31 (specifically, the movable portion 31b) along the inner and outer directions, and the pin structure 30f is arranged to protrude from the surface of the protective member 34 facing the pressing member 31 in the inner and outer directions (i.e., the inner surface of the protective member 34); by inserting the pin structure 30f into the corresponding socket structure 30e in an interference fit manner, the fixing of the protective member 34 and the pressing member 31 can also be achieved.

[0078] In other embodiments, the fixing structure may be omitted, and the protective member 34 may be fixed to the pressing member 31 by bonding, welding, magnetic attraction, etc., all of which will not be elaborated herein.

[0079] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made based on the idea of ​​the present invention.
