Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronics, and specifically discloses a roller encoding component. Background Art
[0002] A mouse is an external input device for a computer and an indicator for the vertical and horizontal coordinates of a computer display system. It is used to simplify computer operations and replace cumbersome keyboard commands. A mouse wheel generally refers to the part between the left and right buttons on a mouse. A general mouse wheel can slide back and forth and is used when there is a scroll bar in the interface, such as for browsing web pages or documents.
[0003] The degrees of freedom of existing rollers are mostly fixed, and they cannot provide multiple levels of dialing feel, nor can they be dialed quickly, which is very inconvenient when fast scrolling or other scrolling requirements are required. Therefore, CN216596196U "An encoder component with switchable roller rotation freedom" has appeared, which can provide two operational degrees of freedom: ratchet rolling freedom and free rolling freedom. It is provided with a single-sided pressure wheel component, and the ratchet rolling is achieved by extending the rocker end of the pressure wheel component into the inner ring tooth structure of the roller and utilizing the rocking of the rocker end. Long-term rocking will cause the connection between the pressure wheel component and the bracket to loosen, resulting in failure to perform normal ratchet rolling. Utility Model Content

[0041] Through the above settings, the switching between the ratchet rolling freedom degree and the free rolling freedom degree is realized. Since the elastic lever 31 can undergo elastic deformation, when the pressing wheel end is stressed and undergoes elastic deformation, the connecting end can remain unchanged and in its original position without being affected. Therefore, the elastic lever 31 can be used for ratchet rolling, avoiding the loosening problem caused by long-term rigid levering, greatly extending the service life, and also reducing the noise during ratchet rolling.
[0042] Specifically, the pressing wheel end is arranged at the opposite end of the elastic lever 31, the connecting end is arranged at the opposite end of the elastic lever 31, a rotating hole 313 is arranged on the elastic lever 31, and the base 1 is provided with a mounting post corresponding to the rotating hole 313. The elastic lever 31 is rotationally mounted on the base 1 through the clearance fit between the rotating hole 313 and the mounting post; more specifically, the connecting end is provided with a through hole 312a, the movable end is provided with a plug 331 corresponding to the through hole 312a, the plug 331 is inserted into the through hole 312a with a clearance, and a bend is formed at the end of the plug 331 to connect the connecting end and the movable end; further, the width of the through hole 312a is greater than the thickness of the plug 331, so that the plug 331 can move up and down relative to the through hole 312a, thereby enabling the movable end to drive the connecting end to expand and contract; furthermore, a circumferentially arranged tooth 21 is arranged on the side surface of the roller 2, grooves are formed between the teeth 21, and a boss 311 is correspondingly arranged at the pressing wheel end. When the movable end extends relative to the side surface of the roller 2, the boss 311 abuts against the side surface of the roller 2 and contacts the tooth 21 and the groove, so that the roller 2 performs ratchet rolling.
[0043] Preferably, the switching mechanism includes: a lifting table 32a and a telescopic frame 33a. The base 1 is provided with a lifting hole 120 corresponding to the lifting table 32a, and the width of the lifting hole 120 is greater than the width of the lifting table 32a; the lifting table 32a can lift relative to the lifting hole 120 to serve as the driving end; one opposite end of the telescopic frame 33a is rotatably connected to the lifting table 32a, and the other opposite end is connected to the connecting end.

[0044] More preferably, the button 41 assembly includes: a button 41, a claw sleeve 42, and a push rod 43. The claw sleeve 42 is mounted on the base 1 corresponding to the lifting table 32a. The button 41 is slidably mounted in the claw sleeve 42 with its top end exposed. The push rod 43 is slidably connected in the claw sleeve 42, and the top end of the push rod 43 faces the button 41. The bottom end of the push rod 43 is rotatably connected to the lifting table 32a. A first elastic member (not shown) is provided between the button 41 and the push rod 43. A clamping tooth 432 and a second elastic member (not shown) abutted against the lifting table 32a are provided on the circumferential side of the push rod 43. The claw sleeve 42 is provided with a first card slot 421 and a second card slot 422 corresponding to the clamping tooth 432. The first card slot 421 and the second card slot 422 are different in slot length. In this embodiment, the slot length of the first card slot 421 is greater than that of the second card slot 422, so that when the clamping tooth 432 is engaged with the first card slot 421, the push rod 43 drives the lifting table 32a to rise relative to the lifting hole 120, and when the clamping tooth 432 is engaged with the second card slot 422, the push rod 43 drives the lifting table 32a to descend relative to the lifting hole 120. When the button 41 drives the push rod 43 through the first elastic member, the clamping tooth 432 switches between the first card slot 421 and the second card slot 422 under the action of the second elastic member to drive the lifting table 32a to lift relative to the lifting hole 120.
[0045] Wherein, the lifting table 32a is provided with a plugging hole. The bottom end of the push rod 43 passes through the plugging hole and forms a clearance fit between the push rod 43 and the plugging hole. A retaining tooth 433a is formed by the bottom end of the push rod 43 extending radially, so that the width of the bottom end of the push rod 43 is greater than the width of the plugging hole, thereby rotatably connecting the bottom end of the push rod 43 to the lifting table 32a. And, a mounting groove is formed on the outer circumferential side of the push rod 43, and the second elastic member is mounted in the mounting groove and abutted against the lifting table 32a. More preferably, a retaining groove 424 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the claw sleeve 42, and a snap 113 is provided on the base 1 corresponding to the retaining groove 424. The claw sleeve 42 is mounted on the base 1 corresponding to the lifting table 32a by snapping the retaining groove 424 onto the snap 113.
[0046] In order to enable the button 41 to be stably and slidably mounted within the claw sleeve 42, a chute 423 extending along its axial direction is provided on the inner wall of the claw sleeve 42. A slider 412 is provided on the circumferential side of the button 41 corresponding to the chute 423. The button 41 is slidably mounted within the claw sleeve 42 by slidingly engaging the slider 412 within the chute 423. In practice, the number of chutes 423 is greater than or equal to the number of sliders 412. In this embodiment, the number of chutes 423 is twice the number of sliders 412. Four sliders 412 are provided, and the number of chutes 423 is set to eight. Additionally, the chutes 423 are evenly arranged along the inner wall of the claw sleeve 42. In fact, a driving tooth 411 is provided at the bottom end of the button 41, and a stress tooth 431 is provided at the top end of the push rod 43 corresponding to the driving tooth 411. There is an angular deviation between the driving tooth 411 and the stress tooth 431. When the button 41 drives the push rod 43 through the first elastic member, causing the driving tooth 411 to abut against the stress tooth 431, the push rod 43 will rotate unidirectionally under the action of the angular deviation to drive the engaging tooth 432 to switch between the first card slot 421 and the second card slot 422.
[0047] In practical applications, the base 1 includes: a base body 11 and a bottom cover 12. An accommodation cavity 110 for accommodating the button 41 assembly, a wheel groove 111 for mounting the roller 2, and a rotating groove 112 for rotatably connecting the rotating shaft of the roller 2 are provided on the base body 11. In addition, the base 1 further includes: the bottom cover 12 is mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 11. The bottom cover 12 is provided with a mounting hole 122 corresponding to the mounting post. The elastic lever 31 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 by being in clearance fit with the mounting post through the rotating hole 313 and being inserted into the mounting hole 122. Furthermore, a lifting hole 120 is provided on the bottom cover 12. To stably connect the bottom cover 12 and the base body 11, the bottom cover 12 is provided with a clamping position 121 for connecting the base 1, and the base body 11 is provided with a clamping block corresponding to the clamping position 121. The bottom cover 12 is connected to the base body 11 by snapping the clamping position 121 onto the clamping block to form the base 1.
[0048] Most preferably, two elastic levers 31 are provided and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the roller 2. Thus, when the ratchet wheel rolls, relative pressures are applied to both side surfaces of the roller 2, enabling the roller 2 to remain between the two elastic levers 31 during rotation. This ensures that the rotating shaft of the roller 2 does not deviate, avoids the unsmooth rotation caused by the deviation, and further guarantees the smoothness of the rotation of the roller 2.
[0049] During actual use, the coding module is provided on the base 1 corresponding to the roller 2. The input end of the coding module is in photoelectric connection with the roller 2, and the output end of the coding module is in signal connection with the data end. The coding module outputs signals according to the rotation frequency of the roller 2. A protective cover 321a is provided on the bottom surface of the lifting platform 32a to counteract the impact when the lifting platform 32a moves up and down relative to the lifting hole 120, thereby ensuring the service life of the lifting platform 32a.
[0050] The rolling state and switching process of the above-mentioned roller coding component will be described as follows:
[0051] In the state of free rolling degree of freedom, the clamping teeth 432 are engaged with the first card slot 421, the lifting platform 32a is in the high position, the telescopic frame 33a is in the folded state and shrinks relative to the roller 2, and the corresponding connecting end also shrinks relative to the roller 2, and the pressing wheel end is arranged far away from the side surface of the roller 2; in the state of ratchet rolling degree of freedom, the clamping teeth 432 are engaged with the second card slot 422, the lifting platform 32a is in the low position, the two telescopic frames 33a are in the unfolded state and extend relative to the roller 2, and the corresponding connecting end also extends relative to the roller 2, and the pressing wheel end is abutted against the side surface of the roller 2.
[0052] When it is necessary to switch from the free rolling degree of freedom to the ratchet rolling degree of freedom, press the button 41 to compress the first elastic member, and push the push rod 43 to rotate unidirectionally, and compress the second elastic member, and then release the button 41. At this time, the button 41 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the first elastic member, and the push rod 43 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the second elastic member, so that the clamping teeth 432 are switched from the first card slot 421 to the second card slot 422, so that the lifting platform 32a descends to the low position, and then the telescopic frame 33a rotates, and the telescopic frame 33a is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state and extends relative to the roller 2, so as to drive the connecting end to extend relative to the roller 2, so that the elastic lever 31 rotates, and the linkage pressing wheel end moves towards the roller 2 and abuts against the side surface of the roller 2.
[0053] When it is necessary to switch from the free rolling degree of freedom to the ratchet rolling degree of freedom, press the button 41 to compress the first elastic member, and push the push rod 43 to rotate unidirectionally, and compress the second elastic member, and then release the button 41. At this time, the button 41 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the first elastic member, and the push rod 43 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the second elastic member, so that the clamping teeth 432 are switched from the second card slot 422 to the first card slot 421, so that the lifting platform 32a rises to the high position, and then the telescopic frame 33a rotates, and the telescopic frame 33a is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state and shrinks relative to the roller 2, so as to drive the connecting end to shrink relative to the roller 2, so that the elastic lever 31 rotates, and drives the pressing wheel end to move away from the roller 2 and away from the side surface of the roller 2.
[0054] Second Embodiment
[0055] According to Figure 1 、 4 、5 shown, based on the same concept, the present invention also provides another roller coding component. Only the parts different from the first embodiment in this embodiment will be described below.

A boss 311 is correspondingly provided at the pressing wheel end. When the movable end contracts relative to the side surface of the roller 2, the boss 311 abuts against the side surface of the roller 2 and contacts the tooth 21 and the groove, so that the roller 2 performs ratchet rolling.
[0057] Preferably, the switching mechanism includes: a push rod 43 and a rotating block 32b; the push rod 43 can move up and down relative to the base 1 to serve as a driving end; the rotating block 32b is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the rotating block 32b abuts against the push rod 43 under the action of a spring 33b. The rotating block 32b can expand and contract relative to the side surface of the roller 2 as the push rod 43 moves up and down to serve as a movable end.
[0058] More preferably, the button 41 assembly includes: a button 41 and a claw sleeve 42. The claw sleeve 42 is mounted on the base 1 corresponding to the push rod 43. The button 41 is slidably mounted in the claw sleeve 42, and the top end of the button 41 is exposed.

A tapered surface 433b connected to the rotating block 32b is provided at the bottom end of the push rod 43. A first elastic member is provided between the button 41 and the push rod 43; a clamping tooth 432 and a second elastic member abutting against the rotating block 32b are provided on the circumferential side of the push rod 43. The claw sleeve 42 is provided with a first card slot 421 and a second card slot 422 corresponding to the clamping tooth 432. The first card slot 421 and the second card slot 422 are different in slot length; when the button 41 drives the push rod 43 through the first elastic member, the clamping tooth 432 switches between the first card slot 421 and the second card slot 422 under the action of the second elastic member to change the position of the push rod 43, so as to change the width of the part of the tapered surface 433b connected to the rotating block 32b, and further drive the rotating block 32b to rotate.
[0059] The following describes the rolling state and switching process of the above roller coding assembly:

The pressing wheel end abuts against the side surface of the roller 2; in the state of ratchet rolling freedom, the clamping tooth 432 is engaged with the second card slot 422, the push rod 43 is in a low position, the two rotating blocks 32b expand relative to the roller 2, and the corresponding connecting ends also expand relative to the roller 2. The pressing wheel end is set away from the side surface of the roller 2.
[0061] When it is necessary to switch from the free rolling degree of freedom to the ratchet rolling degree of freedom, press the button 41 to compress the first elastic member, and push the push rod 43 to perform a one-way rotation, and compress the second elastic member. Then release the button 41. At this time, the button 41 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the first elastic member, and the push rod 43 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the second elastic member, so that the engaging tooth 432 is switched from the first card slot 421 to the second card slot 422, thereby causing the push rod 43 to descend to a low position, and further causing the rotating block 32b to rotate, making the rotating block 32b extend relative to the roller 2, so as to drive the connecting end to deform and extend relative to the roller 2, causing the elastic lever 31 to deform, driving the pressing wheel end to displace away from the roller 2 and away from the side surface of the roller 2.
[0062] When it is necessary to switch from the free rolling degree of freedom to the ratchet rolling degree of freedom, press the button 41 to compress the first elastic member, and push the push rod 43 to perform a one-way rotation, and compress the second elastic member. Then release the button 41. At this time, the button 41 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the first elastic member, and the push rod 43 is reset by using the elastic potential energy generated by the restoration of the second elastic member, so that the engaging tooth 432 is switched from the second card slot 422 to the first card slot 421, thereby causing the push rod 43 to rise to a high position, and further causing the rotating block 32b to rotate, making the rotating block 32b contract relative to the roller 2, so that the connecting end is restored and contracts relative to the roller 2, causing the elastic lever 31 to be restored, and linking the pressing wheel end to displace towards the roller 2 and abut against the side surface of the roller 2.
