Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mice, in particular to a mouse with a buffer structure. Background Art

[0002] A mouse is one of the most important input interfaces of a computer. For users who need to operate the mouse for a long time, they will pay special attention to the operating feel of the buttons. However, due to the tolerance between the button and the internal switch of the traditional mouse, the gap between the two is prone to instability, so that the button may have an empty stroke when pressed. In addition to affecting the operating feel, there are also problems of shaking or noise during use, and even the switch may be pre-triggered when the button is not pressed. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the structure of the traditional mouse. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a mouse, which has a good pressing feel and is more sensitive when performing a pressing action.

[0004] To achieve the above main purpose, the mouse provided by the utility model includes a body, a button, a switch, and a buffer. The buffer has an accommodating space and a top opening communicating with the accommodating space; the button is pressably arranged on the body and corresponds to the top opening; the switch is arranged in the accommodating space of the body and has a triggering part; the buffer is arranged in the accommodating space of the body, the top end of the buffer is connected to the button through the top opening of the body, and the bottom end of the buffer corresponds to the triggering part of the switch.

[0005] Based on the above content, when the button is pressed, the button will drive the buffer to press against the triggering part of the switch, so that the switch can be accurately triggered. In other words, by arranging the buffer between the button and the switch, the mouse of the utility model can achieve the effects of improving the pressing feel and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pressing action.

[0006] Preferably, the body has a cantilever part. The buffer has a rib column and a preloading elastic body. The top end of the rib column is connected to the button, the bottom end of the rib column abuts against the triggering part of the switch, the preloading elastic body is arranged in the rib column, the top end of the preloading elastic body abuts against the cantilever part of the body, and the bottom end of the preloading elastic body abuts against the bottom end of the rib column. Thus, when the button is pressed, the switch is triggered by the rib column.

[0007] Preferably, the body has a cantilever portion. The buffer has a rib column and a pre - pressed elastomer. The top end of the rib column is connected to the button. The pre - pressed elastomer is disposed within the rib column. The top end of the pre - pressed elastomer abuts against the cantilever portion of the body. The bottom end of the pre - pressed elastomer protrudes out of the rib column and abuts against the trigger portion of the switch. Thus, when the button is pressed, the switch is triggered by the pre - pressed elastomer.

[0071] First, it should be noted here that throughout the specification, including the embodiments described below and the claims of the protection scope, the directional nouns are based on the directions in the drawings. Secondly, in the embodiments and drawings to be introduced below, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or their structural features.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the mouse 10 of the first embodiment of the present utility model includes a body 20, a button 30, a switch 32, and a buffer 40.

[0073] The body 20 has a bottom shell 21 and a top shell 22. The bottom shell 21 and the top shell 22 are assembled with each other to form an accommodation space 27 therebetween. The top shell 22 has a roller groove 23 and a top opening 24 adjacent to the roller groove 23. Both the roller groove 23 and the top opening 24 communicate with the accommodation space 27, and the roller groove 23 is used for setting a roller 25. In addition, the top shell 22 also has a cantilever portion 26 located below the top opening 24.

[0074] The button 30 is provided on the top surface of the body 20 and corresponds to the top opening 24 for the user's finger to press.

[0075] The switch 32 is connected to a circuit board 36 and is jointly disposed in the accommodation space 27 of the body 20. The top surface of the switch 32 has a trigger portion 34, and the switch 32 can be triggered by pressing the trigger portion 34.

[0076] The buffer 40 is disposed in the accommodation space 27 of the body 20. As Figure 3 shown, the buffer 40 has a rib column 50. The rib column 50 has a bottom wall 51 and a peripheral wall 52. The bottom wall 51 is rectangular, and the peripheral wall 52 is integrally connected to three sides of the bottom wall 51. The top end of the peripheral wall 52 is connected to the bottom surface of the button 30 via the top opening 24 of the body 20, so that an installation space 53 is formed between the button 30, the peripheral wall 52, and the bottom wall 51. In addition, the buffer 40 also has a pre-pressure elastic body 60 accommodated in the installation space 53. In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the preloaded elastomer 60 has a first large-diameter portion 61, a second large-diameter portion 62, an elliptical ring portion 63, a first small-diameter portion 64, and a second small-diameter portion 65. Among them, the first large-diameter portion 61 abuts against the cantilever portion 26 of the main body 20, the second large-diameter portion 62 abuts against the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50, the elliptical ring portion 63 is located between the first large-diameter portion 61 and the second large-diameter portion 62, the first small-diameter portion 64 is integrally connected to the first large-diameter portion 61 and the elliptical ring portion 63, and the second small-diameter portion 65 is integrally connected to the second large-diameter portion 62 and the elliptical ring portion 63. It can be seen from this that the cantilever portion 26 is mainly used to abut against the preloaded elastomer 60. Therefore, as long as a structure capable of abutting against the preloaded elastomer 60 can be achieved, it should belong to the implementation style of the cantilever portion 26 of the present utility model. Therefore, the implementation style of the cantilever portion 26 is not limited to this embodiment only.

[0077] As can be seen from the above, when the key 30 is not pressed, as Figure 4 shown, since the preloaded elastomer 60 has been preloaded during the manufacturing and forming process, the preloaded elastomer 60 can provide a stable pressure to the rib column 50, so that the rib column 50 can maintain a state of abutting against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 without triggering the switch 32. When the key 30 is pressed, as Figure 5 shown, the key 30 will drive the rib column 50 to press down against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32, so that the switch 32 is triggered. Once the pressing force applied to the key 30 disappears, the rebounding force of the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 will push the key 30 upward through the rib column 50, so that the rib column 50 returns to the state of abutting against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 through the stable pressure provided by the preloaded elastomer 60 (as Figure 4 shown).

[0078] It should be supplemented and explained here that the preloaded elastomer can have different structural changes. For example, in the second embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the preloaded elastomer 70 has a first large-diameter portion 71, a second large-diameter portion 72, a spherical portion 73, a first small-diameter portion 74, and a second small-diameter portion 75. The first large-diameter portion 71 abuts against the cantilever portion 26 of the main body 20, the second large-diameter portion 72 abuts against the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50, the spherical portion 73 is located between the first large-diameter portion 71 and the second large-diameter portion 72, the first small-diameter portion 74 is integrally connected to the first large-diameter portion 71 and the spherical portion 73, the second small-diameter portion 75 is integrally connected to the second large-diameter portion 72 and the spherical portion 73, and moreover, the inside of the preloaded elastomer 70 is in a hollow state, so that the preloaded elastomer 70 has sufficient deformation to improve the buffering effect. Additionally, in the third embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the pre-compressed elastomer 80 has a small-diameter portion 81, a large-diameter portion 82, and a tapered portion 83. The small-diameter portion 81 abuts against the cantilever portion 26 of the main body 20. The large-diameter portion 82 abuts against the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50 and has a groove 84 for increasing the deformation amount. The tapered portion 83 is integrally connected to the small-diameter portion 81 and the large-diameter portion 82, and the outer diameter of the tapered portion 83 gradually increases from the small-diameter portion 81 toward the large-diameter portion 82. However, no matter which of the above-mentioned styles of pre-compressed elastomers 60, 70, 80, they can provide a stable pressure to the rib column 50, so that the rib column 50 can accurately trigger the switch 32 when the button 30 is pressed, and remain in a state of abutting against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 but not triggering the switch 32 when the button 30 is not pressed.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 10 , the mouse 10' of the fourth embodiment of the present utility model is substantially the same as the first embodiment in terms of structure. In the first embodiment, the buffer 40 causes the pre-compressed elastomer 60 to trigger the switch 32 through the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50. As for in this embodiment, the buffer 40' directly causes the pre-compressed elastomer 60 to trigger the switch 32.

[0080] Furthermore, as Figure 11 shown, the buffer 40' also has a rib column 50 and a pre-compressed elastomer 60. The rib column 50 has a notch 54 communicating with the installation space 53 on the bottom wall 51. The first small-diameter portion 64 of the pre-compressed elastomer 60 is embedded in the notch 54 of the bottom wall 51, so that the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50 is clamped between the elliptical ring portion 63 and the first large-diameter portion 61. In this way, as Figure 12 shown, the first large-diameter portion 61 of the pre-compressed elastomer 60 is located in the installation space 53, and the elliptical ring portion 63, the second small-diameter portion 65, and the second large-diameter portion 62 of the pre-compressed elastomer 60 protrude from the bottom end of the rib column 50, and the second large-diameter portion 62 abuts against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, when the button 30 is not pressed, as Figure 12 shown, since the pre-compressed elastomer 60 has been pre-compressed during the manufacturing process, the pre-compressed elastomer 60 can maintain a state of abutting against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 but not triggering the switch 32. When the button 30 is pressed, as Figure 13 shown, the button 30 will drive the rib column 50 to move downward. When the rib column 50 moves downward, it will drive the pre-compressed elastomer 60 to press downward against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 through the engagement relationship with the pre-compressed elastomer 60, so that the switch 32 is triggered. Once the pressing force applied to the button 30 disappears, the rebounding force of the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 will push the button 30 upward through the pre-compressed elastomer 60, causing the pre-compressed elastomer 60 to be compressed and return to the state of abutting against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 (as Figure 12 shown).

[0082] It should be supplemented here that the buffer 40' can also be the pre-compressed elastomer 80 of the above-mentioned second embodiment. For example, in the fifth embodiment, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, in order to cooperate with the pre-compressed elastomer 80, a perforation 55 is provided on the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50, and the small-diameter portion 81 of the pre-compressed elastomer 80 is tightly sleeved through the perforation 55, so that the small-diameter portion 81 of the pre-compressed elastomer 80 abuts against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32. In this way, when the key 30 is pressed, the key 30 will drive the rib column 50 to move downward. When the rib column 50 moves downward, the pre-compressed elastomer 80 is driven to press downward against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 through the tight-fitting relationship between the perforation 55 and the small-diameter portion 81 of the pre-compressed elastomer 80, so that the switch 32 is triggered.

[0083] Similarly, in order to cooperate with the perforation 55 on the bottom wall 51 of the rib column 50, the pre-compressed elastomer can also have different structural changes. For example, in the sixth embodiment, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, the pre-compressed elastomer 90 has a large-diameter portion 91, a first small-diameter portion 92 and a second small-diameter portion 93. The large-diameter portion 91 is integrally connected between the first small-diameter portion 92 and the second small-diameter portion 93. The first small-diameter portion 92 abuts against the cantilever portion 26 of the main body 20, and the second small-diameter portion 93 is tightly sleeved through the perforation 55 and abuts against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32. In this way, when the key 30 is pressed, the key 30 will drive the rib column 50 to move downward. When the rib column 50 moves downward, the pre-compressed elastomer 90 is driven to press downward against the trigger portion 34 of the switch 32 through the tight-fitting relationship between the perforation 55 and the second small-diameter portion 93 of the pre-compressed elastomer 90, so that the switch 32 is triggered. In addition, the inside of the pre-compressed elastomer 90 is in a hollow state, so that the pre-compressed elastomer 90 has enough deformation amount to improve the buffering effect.

[0084] In summary, for the mice 10, 10' of the present invention, by disposing the buffers 40, 40' between the key 30 and the switch 32, the mice 10, 10' of the present invention can not only improve the operation feel when the key 30 is pressed, but also ensure that the key 30 can accurately trigger the switch 32 when pressed, thereby making the pressing stroke achieve a stable and accurate effect.
