[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0028] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a waterproof mouse that is resistant to high and low temperatures and humidity and heat includes an outer shell 1, a bottom shell 2, and a protective cover 3. The outer shell 1 is snapped onto the bottom shell 2 and the protective cover 3, and the outer shell 1 and the bottom shell 2 are screwed together. A circuit board 4 is mounted and fixed on the bottom shell 2, and an encoder 5 is connected to the circuit board 4. The protective cover 3 covers the encoder 5 and the circuit board 4, thereby fixing the circuit board 4 and the encoder 5 between the bottom shell 2 and the protective cover 3. A waterproof rib mounting position 18 is provided on the bottom shell 2, and a waterproof rib 17 is provided at the connection between the protective cover 3 and the bottom shell 2. The protective cover 3 is locked to the bottom shell 2 by screws. The protective cover 3 and the waterproof rib 17 cooperate to achieve a sealing effect. The protective cover 3 and the waterproof rib 17 have excellent waterproof performance and can protect the circuit board 4, the encoder 5, and other electronic components on the circuit board 4 from erosion by the external environment, thereby ensuring that the mouse can still maintain stable performance in special environments such as moisture, mold, oil pollution, or chemical corrosion.

[0030] A roller 6 is provided on one side of the encoder 5 and is located on the protective cover 3. A first magnetic block 7 and a second magnetic block 8 are disposed between the roller 6 and the encoder 5. The first magnetic block 7 is fixedly connected to the roller 6, and the second magnetic block 8 is fixedly connected to the encoder 5. The first magnetic block 7 and the roller 6 are located above the protective cover 3, and the protective cover 3 has corresponding first magnetic block placement positions 10 and roller placement positions 11. The second magnetic block 8 and the encoder 5 are located below the protective cover 3, and the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 8 are magnetically connected across the protective cover 3. When the roller 6 is rotated, the first magnetic block 7 connected to it also rotates. Due to the interaction of magnetic forces, the rotation of the first magnetic block 7 drives the second magnetic block 8 to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, the rotation of the second magnetic block 8 drives the encoder 5 to rotate accordingly. This ensures that even though the protective cover 3 is between the roller 6 and the encoder 5, the encoder 5 can still accurately input operation signals when the roller 6 is rotated. This solves the problem of unstable signal transmission between the encoder 5 and the roller 6 in the waterproof mouse design.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, zirconium oxide beads 9 are provided on the opposite sides of the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 8, which act as lubricants when the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 8 move relative to each other, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 8 and improving the tactile experience when operating the mouse wheel 6.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the mouse further includes a left button 12, a right button 13, and a middle button 14. The left button 12 is located on the left side of the scroll wheel 6, the right button 13 is located on the right side of the scroll wheel 6, and the middle button 14 is located adjacent to the right button 13. To improve the waterproof performance of the mouse, a first waterproof cover 15 is provided on the left button 12, and a second waterproof cover 16 is provided on the right button 13 and the middle button 14. The first waterproof cover 15 and the second waterproof cover 16 are both sealed to the protective cover 3. The first waterproof cover 15 and the second waterproof cover 16 are perfectly fitted with the protective cover 3 to ensure that moisture cannot penetrate into the interior of the mouse. The first waterproof cover 15 and the second waterproof cover 16 are both made of silicone. Silicone has good elasticity and can cushion the impact of pressing the button to a certain extent, thereby improving the user experience. It also has good wear resistance and waterproof performance, and can maintain stable waterproof performance during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the mouse.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the shell 1 includes a button panel 20 and an upper shell 19. The button panel 20 includes a left button 12 panel and a right button 13 panel. The left button 12 panel is located above the left button 12, and the right button 13 panel is located above the right button 13. The left button 12 panel and the right button 13 panel are both locked on the upper shell 19, and the upper shell 19 is locked and connected to the bottom shell 2 by screws.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, the mouse also includes a USB cable 21 for connecting to a computer. The USB cable 21 is located above the protective cover 3. One end of the USB cable 21 is connected to the circuit board 4. The protective cover is provided with a threading hole 24 for connecting the USB cable 21 to the circuit board 4. To ensure the waterproof effect of the connection part, the connection part between the USB cable 21 and the threading hole 24 is wrapped with silicone to meet the waterproof requirements.

[0035] Reference Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present utility model, the mouse further includes a lens 22 , a lens mounting position 25 is provided on the bottom shell 2 , the lens 22 is fixed to the bottom shell 2 through a silicone member, and the lens 22 is connected to the circuit board 4 .

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of foot pads 23 are provided under the bottom shell 2. The foot pads 23 are made of silicone material and are not easily worn out after long-term use. They also have anti-slip properties and are not easy to slide when used in an environment with a smooth surface, thereby ensuring operational accuracy.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom shell 2, the button panel 20, the upper shell 19, the protective cover 3, and the lens 22 are all made of PC material, so that when the mouse is used in a harsh environment, it can withstand the friction and impact brought by the external environment, and can withstand high and low temperatures and humidity and heat, thereby ensuring that the electronic components inside the mouse are not damaged and extending the service life of the mouse.

[0038] This invention enhances the waterproof performance of the mouse while ensuring the stability of signal transmission between the mouse's internal encoder 5 and scroll wheel 6. This invention can be widely used in various fields, such as medical equipment in the medical field; related equipment in the military field; industrial fields such as industrial automation, pharmaceuticals, oil, natural gas, food, and other industries with special environments such as dirty or dim light.
