[0073] The input device 100 is, for example, a mouse, a keyboard or other device that requires a connector, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the input device 100 is, for example, a wireless input device.
[0074] As Figure 1B shown, the input device 100 includes a housing 110, at least one first elastic member 120, at least one second elastic member 130, and a lid 140. The lid 140 can be disposed on the housing 110 to cover the receiving groove R1 and the components located inside the receiving groove R1. The receiving groove R1 can accommodate at least two different sizes of connectors. For example, a first connector 10 (illustrated in Figure 3A ) and a second connector 20 (illustrated in Figure 4A ). Specifically, the same housing 110 provides a storage space for multiple different specifications of connectors. In this embodiment, the aforementioned auxiliary fixing members include the first elastic member 120 and the second elastic member 130.
[0075] In one embodiment, the size or volume of the first connector 10 is greater than that of the second connector 20. The first connector 10 is, for example, a connector that supports the specification A (Type A) of the Universal Serial Bus (USB), while the second connector 20 is, for example, a connector that supports the specification C (Type C) of the Universal Serial Bus USB. The connector is, for example, a receiver that supports a wireless communication protocol, and can perform a wireless connection between the electronic device and the input device when inserted into the electronic device.
[0076] As Figures 2A to 2C shown, the housing 110 has a receiving groove R1. The receiving groove R1 has a first receiving groove 111, a second receiving groove 112, and a third receiving groove 113 that communicate with each other, where the second receiving groove 112 is located between the first receiving groove 111 and the third receiving groove 113. The first receiving groove 111 has opposite first side walls 111s1 and second side walls 111s2, the second receiving groove 112 has opposite third side walls 112s1 and fourth side walls 112s2, there is a first spacing S11 between the first side walls 111s1 and the second side walls 111s2, there is a second spacing S12 between the third side walls 112s1 and the fourth side walls 112s2, and the first spacing S11 is less than the second spacing S12. The first elastic member 120 protrudes relative to the first side wall 111s1 of the first receiving groove 111. The second elastic member 130 protrudes relative to the third side wall 112s1 of the second receiving groove 112. In an embodiment, as Figure 2A shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the two first elastic members 120 can abut against opposite sides of the first connector 10 (specifically, for example, the portion of the first connector 10 corresponding to the first receiving groove 111) to fix the relative position of the first connector 10 and the housing 110. As Figure 3A shown, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the two second elastic members 130 can abut against opposite sides of the second connector 20 (specifically, for example, the portion of the second connector 20 corresponding to the second receiving groove 112) to fix the relative position of the second connector 20 and the housing 110.
[0077] As Figure 2A shown, the third receiving groove 113 also has opposite fifth side walls 113s1 and sixth side walls 113s2, and there is a third spacing S13 along the X-axis between the fifth side walls 113s1 and the sixth side walls 113s2. The third spacing S13 is greater than the first spacing S11. In an embodiment, the fifth side wall 113s1 and the third side wall 112s1 are substantially aligned, for example, flush, and the sixth side wall 113s2 and the fourth side wall 112s2 are substantially aligned, for example, flush. Therefore, the third spacing S13 and the second spacing S12 can be substantially equal.
[0078] AsFigures 2A to 2C As shown, the housing 110, the first elastic member 120, and the second elastic member 130 are, for example, an integrally formed structure. The first elastic member 120, the second elastic member 130, and the housing 110 can adopt a plastic injection process to form an integrally formed structure.
[0079] As Figure 1B and Figure 2B shown, the housing 110 has a first hollow portion 111a1 that penetrates the first side wall 111s1. The first elastic member 120 is connected to the first side wall 111s1. The first elastic member 120 includes a first elastic arm 121 and a first protrusion 122, wherein the first protrusion 122 is disposed on a surface of the first elastic arm 121 facing the first receiving groove 111. When the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove, the first protrusion 122 can press against the first connector 10. In addition, the first elastic arm 121 and the first protrusion 122 can be an integrally formed structure.
[0080] As Figure 1B and Figure 2B shown, the housing 110 further has a second hollow portion 111a2 that penetrates the second side wall 111s2. Another first elastic member 120 includes a first elastic arm 121 and a first protrusion 122, wherein the first protrusion 122 is disposed on a surface of the first elastic arm 121 facing the first receiving groove 111. When the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove, the first protrusion 122 can press against the first connector 10 (as Figure 3A shown). In addition, the first elastic arm 121 and the first protrusion 122 of this another first elastic member 120 can be an integrally formed structure
[0081] As Figure 1B and Figure 2C shown, the housing 110 further has a third hollow portion 112a1 that penetrates the third side wall 112s1. The second elastic member 130 is connected to the third side wall 112s1. The second elastic member 130 includes a second elastic arm 131 and a second protrusion 132, wherein the second protrusion 132 is disposed on a surface of the second elastic arm 131 facing the second receiving groove 112. When the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove, the second protrusion 132 can press against the second connector 20 (as Figure 4A shown). In addition, the second elastic arm 131 and the second protrusion 132 can be an integrally formed structure.
[0082] As Figure 1B and Figure 2CAs shown, the housing 110 further has a fourth hollow portion 112a2 that penetrates the fourth sidewall 112s2. Another second elastic member 130 is connected to the fourth sidewall 112s2. This another second elastic member 130 includes a second elastic arm 131 and a second protrusion 132, wherein the second protrusion 132 is disposed on a surface of the second elastic arm 131 facing the second receiving groove 112. When the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove, the second protrusion 132 can press against the second connector 20 (as shown in Figure 4A ). In addition, the second elastic arm 131 and the second protrusion 132 of this another second elastic member 130 can be an integrally formed structure.
[0083] As shown in Figures 2A to 2C , two first elastic members 120 respectively protrude relative to the first sidewall 111s1 and the second sidewall 111s2 of the first receiving groove 111. In one embodiment, in the free state, as shown in Figure 2A , the minimum distance H11 is spaced along the X-axis between the two first elastic members 120. As shown in Figure 3A , the first connector 10 includes a first insertion portion 11 and a first housing portion 12, wherein the first housing portion 12 is connected to the first insertion portion 11. The first insertion portion 11 is used for inserting into an electronic device (not shown). The first insertion portion 11 has a width W11 along the X-axis. In the embodiment, the width W11 is greater than the minimum distance H11. Thus, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, as shown in Figure 3B , the two first elastic members 120 can clamp opposite sides of the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10. However, as shown in Figure 3C , the two second elastic members 130 may not abut against opposite sides of the first housing portion 12 of the first connector 10.
[0084] As shown in Figures 2A to 2C , two second elastic members 130 respectively protrude relative to the third sidewall 112s1 and the fourth sidewall 112s2 of the second receiving groove 112. In one embodiment, in the free state, as shown in Figure 2A , the minimum distance H22 is provided along the X-axis between the two second elastic members 130. As shown in Figure 4A , the second connector 20 includes a second insertion portion 21 and a second housing portion 22, wherein the second housing portion 22 is connected to the second insertion portion 21 and protrudes relative to an end face 22s of the second housing portion 22. The second insertion portion 21 is used for inserting into an electronic device (not shown). The second housing portion 22 has a width W22 along the X-axis. In the embodiment, the width W22 is greater than the minimum distance H22. Thus, as shown in Figure 4C , when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the two second elastic members 130 can clamp opposite sides of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20. As shown in Figure 4BAs shown, the two first elastic members 120 may not abut against opposite sides of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 that holds the second connector 20.
[0085] As Figure 2A and Figure 4A shown, the second receiving groove 112 has a second end wall 112e1, and the second end wall 112e1 connects the first side wall 111s1, the third side wall 112s1, the first bottom surface 111b of the first receiving groove 111, and the second bottom surface 112b of the second receiving groove 112. In an embodiment, the second end wall 112e1 is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall 111s1 and / or the third side wall 112s1. As Figure 4A shown, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the side surface 22s of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20 faces the second end wall 112e1. When the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the second end wall 112e1 may abut against or stop the side surface 22s of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20.
[0086] As Figure 2D and Figure 3D shown, the first receiving groove 111 of the housing 110 has a first end wall 111e, and the third receiving groove 113 has a third end wall 113e. The first end wall 111e faces the third end wall 113e, and the distance H1 in one direction between the first end wall 111e and the third end wall 113e is equal to or greater than the total length L1 of the first connector 10. Thus, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the first connector 10 is entirely located in the first receiving groove 111, the second receiving groove 112, and the third receiving groove 113. The aforementioned direction is, for example, a direction parallel to the first bottom surface 111b of the first receiving groove 111.
[0087] As Figure 2D and Figure 4D shown, the second receiving groove 112 has a second end wall 112e1, and the distance H2 between the first end wall 111e and the second end wall 112e1 is equal to the total length L2 of the second connector 20. The second receiving groove 112 has a fourth end wall 112e2, and the distance H21 between the second end wall 112e1 and the fourth end wall 112e2 is equal to or greater than the length L22 of the second housing portion 22. Thus, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the second connector 20 is entirely located in the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 112, and the second insertion portion 21 may be located in the first receiving groove 111.
[0088] As Figure 2D shown, the first bottom surface 111b of the first receiving groove 111 is inclined relative to the second bottom surface 112b. The third receiving groove 113 has a third bottom surface 113b, and the first bottom surface 111b is substantially parallel to the third bottom surface 113b. Thus, asFigure 3D As shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R1, the first connector 10 can abut against the first bottom surface 111b and the third bottom surface 113b. For example, the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 abuts against the first bottom surface 111b, and the first housing portion 12 of the first connector 10 abuts against the third bottom surface 113b.
[0089] As Figure 3D shown, the lid 140 has a first abutting surface 140s1, and the first abutting surface 140s1 is substantially parallel to the third bottom surface 113b. The distance H3 between the first abutting surface 140s1 and the third bottom surface 113b is substantially equal to or less than the height L12 of the first housing portion 12 of the first connector 10. Thus, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the first receiving groove 111 and the lid 140 is connected to the housing 110, the first abutting surface 140s1 of the lid 140 is adjacent to or abuts against the first housing portion 12.
[0090] As Figure 4D shown, the lid 140 has a second abutting surface 140s2, and the second abutting surface 140s2 is substantially parallel to the second bottom surface 112b. The distance H4 between the second abutting surface 140s2 and the second bottom surface 112b is substantially equal to or less than the height L’22 of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20. Thus, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the first receiving groove 111 and the lid 140 is connected to the housing 110, the second abutting surface 140s2 of the lid 140 can be adjacent to or abuts against the second housing portion 22.
[0091] Please refer to Figures 5A to 8B , Figure 5A and Figure 5B which shows an exploded perspective view of an input device according to another embodiment of the present invention from different perspectives, Figure 6A shows Figure 5A a top view of the housing, Figure 6B shows Figure 6A a cross-sectional view of the housing along the direction 6B-6B’, Figure 7A shows the first connector disposed in Figure 6A the receiving groove of the housing, Figure 7B shows Figure 7A a cross-sectional view of the housing and the first connector along the direction 7B-7B’, Figure 8A shows the second connector disposed in Figure 6A the receiving groove of the housing, and Figure 8B shows Figure 8A a cross-sectional view of the housing and the second connector along the direction 8B-8B’.
[0092] As Figure 5A , Figure 5B andFigure 6B As shown, the input device 200 includes a housing 210, at least one magnet 250, and a lid 140. The housing 210 has a receiving groove R2. The receiving groove R2 of the housing 210 has a first receiving groove 211, a second receiving groove 212, and a third receiving groove 213 that communicate with each other, where the second receiving groove 212 is located between the first receiving groove 211 and the third receiving groove 213.
[0093] The first receiving groove 211, the second receiving groove 212, and the third receiving groove 213 of the embodiment of the present utility model are structurally similar to the aforementioned first receiving groove 111, second receiving groove 112, and third receiving groove 113, respectively. The difference is that the first side wall 211s1 of the first receiving groove 211 does not have the first hollow portion 111a1 and the second side wall 211s2 does not have the second hollow portion 111a2. In this embodiment, the aforementioned auxiliary fixing member includes a magnet 250.
[0094] As Figure 6A and Figure 6B shown, the first receiving groove 211 has a first bottom surface 211b and opposite first side wall 211s1 and second side wall 211s2, the second receiving groove 212 has opposite third side wall 212s1 and fourth side wall 212s2, there is a first distance S11 between the first side wall 211s1 and the second side wall 211s2, there is a second distance S12 between the third side wall 212s1 and the fourth side wall 212s2, and the first distance S11 is less than the second distance S12. The magnet 250 is disposed in the housing 210 and corresponds to the first bottom surface 211b of the first receiving groove 211 in position. Thus, as Figure 7B shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R2, the magnet 250 overlaps with the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 along the Z axis, generating a magnetic attraction force between the magnet 250 and the first insertion portion 11, which can fix the relative position of the first connector 10 and the housing 210. As Figure 8B shown, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R2, the magnet 250 overlaps with the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 along the Z axis, generating a magnetic attraction force between the magnet 250 and the second insertion portion 21, which can fix the relative position of the second connector 20 and the housing 210. In this embodiment, the outer shell (e.g., metal) of the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 can generate a magnetic field with the magnet 250, and the outer shell (e.g., metal) of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 can generate a magnetic field with the magnet 250.
[0095] As Figure 6BAs shown, the housing 210 has a groove 210r that extends from the bottom surface 210b of the housing 210 towards the receiving groove R2. The magnet 250 can be disposed in the groove 210r. In one embodiment, the magnet 250 can be tightly fitted in the groove 210r, for example, fixed in the groove 210r through an adhesive layer (not shown).
[0096] As Figure 6A and Figure 7A shown, the first spacing S11 between the first side wall 211s1 and the second side wall 211s2 is substantially equal to or greater than the width W11 of the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10, and the second spacing S12 between the third side wall 212s1 and the fourth side wall 212s2 is substantially equal to or greater than the width W12 of the first housing portion 12 of the first connector 10. The third receiving groove 213 also has opposite fifth side wall 213s1 and sixth side wall 213s2, and there is a third spacing S13 between the fifth side wall 213s1 and the sixth side wall 213s2. The third spacing S13 is greater than the first spacing S11. In an embodiment, the fifth side wall 213s1 and the third side wall 212s1 are substantially aligned, for example, flush, and the sixth side wall 113s2 and the fourth side wall 112s2 are substantially aligned, for example, flush. Thus, the third spacing S13 and the second spacing S12 can be substantially equal. The third spacing S13 between the fifth side wall 213s1 and the sixth side wall 213s2 is substantially equal to or greater than the width W12 of the first housing portion 12 of the first connector 10. In this way, the first connector 10 can be received in the first receiving groove 211, the second receiving groove 212, and the third receiving groove 213.
[0097] As Figure 6A and Figure 8A shown, the first spacing S11 between the first side wall 211s1 and the second side wall 211s2 is greater than the width W21 of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20. The second spacing S12 between the third side wall 212s1 and the fourth side wall 212s2 is substantially equal to or greater than the width W22 of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20, and the third spacing S13 between the fifth side wall 213s1 and the sixth side wall 213s2 is greater than or equal to the width W22 of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20. In this way, the second connector 20 can be received in the first receiving groove 211 and the second receiving groove 212.
[0098] Please refer to Figures 9A to 12B , Figure 9A and Figure 9B which shows an exploded schematic view of an input device according to another embodiment of the present invention from different perspectives, Figure 10A shows Figure 9A a top view schematic of the housing of Figure 10B shows Figure 10ASchematic cross-sectional view of the housing along the direction 10B - 10B' Figure 11A Illustrating the first connector disposed in Figure 10A Top view schematic of the receiving groove of the housing of Figure 11B Illustrating Figure 11A Schematic cross-sectional view of the housing and the first connector of Figure 12A Illustrating the second connector disposed in Figure 10A Top view schematic of the receiving groove of the housing of Figure 12B Illustrating Figure 12A Schematic cross-sectional view of the housing and the second connector of
[0099] As Figure 9A 、 Figure 9B and Figure 10B shown, the input device 300 includes a housing 310, at least one magnet 350, and a lid 140. The housing 310 has a receiving groove R3. The receiving groove R3 of the housing 210 has a first receiving groove 311, a second receiving groove 312, and a third receiving groove 313 that communicate with each other, where the second receiving groove 312 is located between the first receiving groove 311 and the third receiving groove 313. In this embodiment, the aforementioned auxiliary fixing member includes the magnet 350.
[0100] As Figure 10A 、 Figure 10B and Figure 11A shown, the first receiving groove 311 has opposite first side walls 311s1 and second side walls 311s2, the second receiving groove 312 has a second bottom surface 312b and opposite third side walls 312s1 and fourth side walls 312s2, there is a first distance S31 between the first side wall 311s1 and the second side wall 311s2, there is a second distance S32 between the third side wall 312s1 and the fourth side wall 312s2, and the first distance S31 is less than the second distance S32. The magnet 350 is disposed in the housing 310 and corresponds to the second bottom surface 312b of the second receiving groove 312 in position. In the embodiment, as Figure 11B shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the magnet 350 overlaps with the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 along the Z-axis, generating a magnetic attraction force between the magnet 350 and the first insertion portion 11, which can fix the relative position of the first connector 10 and the housing 310. As Figure 12B shown, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the magnet 350 overlaps with the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 along the Z-axis, generating a magnetic attraction force between the magnet 350 and the second insertion portion 21, which can fix the relative position of the second connector 20 and the housing 310.
[0101] As Figure 10BAs shown, the housing 310 has a groove 310r that extends from the bottom surface 310b of the housing 310 toward the first receiving groove 311 and the second receiving groove 312, and overlaps the first receiving groove 311 and the second receiving groove 312 along the Z-axis. Thus, the magnet 350 disposed in the groove 310r overlaps the first receiving groove 311 and the second receiving groove 312 along the Z-axis. In another embodiment, the groove 310r can extend from the bottom surface 310b of the housing 310 toward the second receiving groove 312 and overlap the second receiving groove 312 along the Z-axis. Thus, the magnet 350 disposed in the groove 310r overlaps the second receiving groove 312 along the Z-axis.
[0102] As Figure 10A and Figure 11A shown, the first distance S31 between the first side wall 311s1 and the second side wall 311s2 is less than the width W11 of the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10, and the second distance S32 between the third side wall 312s1 and the fourth side wall 312s2 is equal to or greater than the width W11 of the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10. Thus, the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 can be received in the second receiving groove 312 but cannot enter the first receiving groove 311.
[0103] As Figure 11A and Figure 11B shown, the first receiving groove 311 has a first end wall 311e and a first bottom surface 311b, the second receiving groove 312 has a second end wall 312e, and the second end wall 312e connects the first bottom surface 311b and the second bottom surface 312b. The third receiving groove 313 has a third end wall 313e1 and a third bottom surface 313b, and the third bottom surface 313b connects the third end wall 313e1. The first bottom surface 311b, the second bottom surface 312b, and the third bottom surface 313b are stepped, where the first bottom surface 311b is higher than the second bottom surface 312b, and the second bottom surface 312b is higher than the third bottom surface 313b. The distance between the second bottom surface 312b and the third bottom surface 313b along the Z-axis is approximately equal to the distance between the side surface 12s of the first housing portion 12 and the side surface 11s of the first insertion portion 11 along the Z-axis. Thus, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the side surface 11s of the first insertion portion 11 can abut against the second bottom surface 312b, and the side surface 12s of the first housing portion 12 can abut against the third bottom surface 313b. In addition, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the first insertion portion 11 of the first connector 10 can abut against the second end wall 312e of the second receiving groove 312.
[0104] As Figure 10A and Figure 12AAs shown, the third receiving groove 113 further has opposite fifth sidewalls 313s1 and sixth sidewalls 313s2. There is a third spacing S33 between the fifth sidewall 313s1 and the sixth sidewall 313s2, and the third spacing S33 is substantially equal to the second spacing S32. The first spacing S31 between the first sidewall 311s1 and the second sidewall 311s2 is equal to or greater than the width W21 of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20. The third spacing S33 between the fifth sidewall 313s1 and the sixth sidewall 313s2 is equal to or greater than the width W22 of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20. Thus, the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 can be received in the first receiving groove 311 (and can also be received in the second receiving groove 312), and the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20 can be received in the third receiving groove 313. In addition, the second spacing S32 between the third sidewall 312s1 and the fourth sidewall 312s2 is less than the width W22 of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20. Thus, the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20 cannot enter the second receiving groove 312.
[0105] As Figure 12A and Figure 12B shown, the distance between the first bottom surface 311b and the third bottom surface 313b along the Z-axis is substantially equal to the distance between the side surface 22s of the second housing portion 22 and the side surface 21s of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 along the Z-axis. Thus, when the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the side surface 21s of the second insertion portion 21 of the second connector 20 can abut against the first bottom surface 311b, and the side surface 22s of the second housing portion 22 of the second connector 20 can abut against the third bottom surface 313b. In addition, the third receiving groove 313 has a fourth end wall 313e2 opposite to the third end wall 313e1. When the second connector 20 is disposed in the receiving groove R3, the second housing portion 22 of the first connector 10 can abut against the fourth end wall 313e2 of the second receiving groove 312.
[0106] Please refer to Figures 13A to 16B , Figure 13A and Figure 13B which show an exploded schematic view of an input device according to another embodiment of the present invention from different perspectives, Figure 14A a top view schematic diagram of the housing of FIG. 13A, Figure 14B a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the housing of Figure 14A along the direction 14B-14B', Figure 15A a top view schematic diagram of the housing of the first connector disposed in Figure 14A the receiving groove, Figure 15B a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the housing of Figure 15A and the first connector along the direction 15B-15B', Figure 16A a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the housing of the second connector disposed in Figure 14AA schematic top view of the receiving groove of the housing, and Figure 16B Draw Figure 16A A schematic cross-sectional view of the housing and the second connector along direction 16B-16B'.
[0107] like Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B As shown, the input device 400 includes a housing 410 and an abutment 420. The housing 410 has a receiving groove R4, wherein the receiving groove R4 has a first side wall 411s1 and a second side wall 411s2 opposite to each other. The abutment 420 includes an abutment member 421 and an elastic member 422. The abutment member 421 is slidably connected to the first side wall 411s1, and the elastic member 422 is disposed between the abutment member 421 and the first side wall 411s1. The elastic member 422 is elastic, so that the distance between the abutment 420 and the second side wall 411s2 can be changed to adaptively abut connectors of different sizes.
[0108] like Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B As shown, the first side wall 411s1 has at least one through hole 411a. The abutment member 421 includes an abutment plate 4211, at least one slide bar 4212, a second protrusion 4213 and a stopper 4214. The slide bar 4212 is connected to the abutment plate 4211 and is slidably connected to the through hole 411a. The abutment plate 4211 has a first surface 4211s1 and a second surface 4211s2 opposite to each other, and the slide bar 4212 is connected to the first surface 4211s1 of the abutment plate 4211. In addition, the housing 410 also includes a first protrusion 414, which is disposed on the surface of the first side wall 411s1 facing the accommodating groove R4. The second protrusion 4213 of the abutment member 421 is disposed on the first surface 4211s1. The first end 4221 of the elastic member 422 can surround the first protrusion 414, and the second end 4222 of the elastic member 422 can surround the second protrusion 4213. Through the restraint between the first protrusion 414 and the first end 4211 and the restraint between the second protrusion 4213 and the second end 4212, the elastic member 422 will not easily separate from the housing 410 and the abutment member 421. In addition, the stopper 4214 can be disposed at the end of the slide bar 4212 and protrude from one side of the slide bar 4212. The outer diameter of the stopper 4214 is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole 411a, so that the abutment member 421 will not easily separate from the housing 410.
[0109] like Figure 14A as well as Figure 14B As shown, when the elastic member 422 is in a free state, the distance H5 between the contact plate 4211 and the second side wall 411s2 is less than the total length L1 of the first connector 10 (shown in FIG. Figure 15A ) and the total length L2 of the second connector 20 (shown in Figure 16A ). So, if Figure 15A as well asFigure 15B As shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R4 of the housing 410, the elastic member 422 deforms to provide an elastic force to the first connector 10, thereby pressing the first connector 10 against the second sidewall 411s2. In addition, as Figure 16A and Figure 16B shown, when the first connector 10 is disposed in the receiving groove R4 of the housing 410, the deformation of the elastic member 422 provides an elastic force to the second connector 20, thereby pressing the second connector 20 against the second sidewall 411s2.
[0110] In summary, for the input device of the present utility model, the input device includes a receiving groove, and the receiving groove can be used to adapt to connectors of different sizes. Thus, the input device of the present utility model can adapt to connectors of different specifications.
[0111] Certainly, the present utility model can also have many other embodiments.
