Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of computer accessories, and in particular to a thumb push rod mouse. Background Art

[0002] A mouse is an external input device for computers and an indicator for the vertical and horizontal coordinates of a computer display system. Named for its resemblance to a mouse, it is used to make computer operations easier and faster, replacing the cumbersome keyboard instructions. With the advancement of technology, the use of mice has expanded. In some extreme environments, mice need to be used in the presence of vibrations, thus requiring mice with stronger shock resistance.

[0003] Utility Model Publication No. CN206610265U discloses a multifunctional mouse, comprising a mouse housing, a mouse bottom cover, two sets of cover fastenings, a pair of cover recesses, multiple circuit board mountings, two sets of shockproof components, multiple heat dissipation holes, a pair of fan mounting brackets, a fan mounting bracket, and two mounting slots. The mouse bottom cover is fastened to the mouse housing via the cover fastenings, the cover recess is provided on the mouse bottom cover, the circuit board mounting bracket is provided on the mouse bottom cover, the heat dissipation holes are provided on the mouse housing, the fan mounting bracket is fixed to the mouse housing via the fan mounting bracket, the mounting slots are provided within the mouse housing, and the shockproof components are embedded in the two mounting slots. Each set of shockproof components includes a compression spring, a telescopic member, and a ball bearing. The shockproof components can only withstand minor vibrations generated under normal use. In environments with frequent and severe vibrations, such as a bumpy vehicle, the shockproof components have poor shockproofing effects and may even be damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the anti-vibration effect of the anti-vibration mouse is not sufficient to cope with extreme environments, the present application provides a thumb push rod mouse.

[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a thumb push rod mouse that adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A thumb push rod mouse comprises:

[0007] The housing has a first operating surface and a second operating surface, the first operating surface and the second operating surface facing in different directions so that when the thumb is placed on the first operating surface, the remaining fingers can be placed on the second operating surface;

[0008] A push rod, mounted on the first operating surface, for pushing operation by the thumb;

[0009] The button group is installed on the second operating surface and is used for pressing by fingers other than the thumb.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a housing adapted to the hand structure is provided, with the first operating surface suitable for the thumb, while the second operating surface is suitable for the remaining fingers. This allows the mouse to be operated by multiple fingers simultaneously, providing more operating positions than a traditional mouse. The push rod replaces the infrared spot positioning of traditional mice. Because infrared spot positioning and mouse movement cannot be accurately maintained in a vibrating environment, mouse operation is difficult. Therefore, the push rod replaces infrared spot positioning, allowing the mouse cursor to be controlled without moving the mouse. The push rod is located on the first operating surface, allowing the thumb to operate the push rod, making it more convenient to use. The second operating surface is equipped with a button group, allowing fingers other than the thumb to operate the buttons, improving the mouse's operability.

[0011] Optionally, the shell further has a groove, and the groove matches the hand structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since the hand is placed on the mouse when operating the mouse, the groove makes the shape of the palm and the mouse more compatible, which not only improves the comfort of using the mouse, but also facilitates the comfortable exertion of force by the fingers, thereby improving the operability of the mouse.

[0013] Optionally, a protective sleeve is provided on the outside of the push rod to prevent foreign matter from contacting the push rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the mouse will be used in some extreme environments, it will often be corroded by debris or liquids. Therefore, a protective cover is provided to protect the push rod to prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the mouse, which can ensure the normal use of the mouse in extreme environments.

[0015] Optionally, a pushing component is provided on the push rod, and the pushing component is provided on the edge of the upper surface of the push rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing component is used to increase the fit between the thumb and the push rod. Since the angle of the push rod changes during operation, it is more difficult for the thumb to exert force at certain angles. By providing a pushing component, the contact between the thumb and the push rod is closer, and force can be applied to the push rod at different angles, thereby improving the operability of the mouse.

[0017] Optionally, there are four pushing components, which are evenly distributed on the edge of the upper surface of the push rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the four pushing components enable the thumb to exert force to control the push rod at all angles, thereby ensuring the operability of the mouse.

[0019] Optionally, the button group includes an up button, a middle button, and a down button, and the up button, the middle button, and the down button are arranged near an edge of the second operating surface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the thumb needs to operate the push rod, the remaining fingers can be used to control the buttons of the button group. Since the pressing force of the little finger is relatively small, only three buttons are provided for the remaining fingers to press. By arranging them at the edge of the second operating surface, the hand can be kept as relaxed as possible when operating the mouse, which is conducive to improving the operability of the mouse.

[0021] Optionally, the edges of the upper button, the middle button, and the lower button are all provided with protective rings, which are used to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective ring can prevent debris or liquid from entering the mouse through the gap between the button and the shell, thereby protecting the internal components of the mouse, ensuring the normal use of the mouse in harsh environments, and improving the stability of the mouse.

[0023] Optionally, the push rod is connected to a mounting piece, which includes a locking seat and a locking piece. The locking piece and the locking seat clamp the shell from both sides to fix the push rod.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting piece is connected under the push rod, the locking seat has a threaded portion passing through the shell, and the locking piece can be rotatably installed on the threaded portion of the locking seat, thereby clamping the shell between the locking piece and the locking seat, and fixing the push rod through the locking piece and the locking seat, which makes the fixing process convenient and quick, and can connect the push rod and the inside of the mouse through the internal space of the locking piece, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the mouse.

[0025] Optionally, a fixing rod is provided on the inner side of the shell, and the fixing rod is used to fix the shell.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, since the mouse uses a push rod instead of infrared spot positioning, the mouse no longer needs to be moved, so the mouse can be fixed by a fixing rod so that the mouse can remain stable in a vibrating environment.

[0027] Optionally, the push rod mouse further includes a bottom plate, which is connected to the bottom of the shell and has a connecting port.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a connecting port on the bottom plate, the connecting port can be connected to the mouse and the outside to complete the signal transmission.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. By moving the push rod to the infrared spot, the cursor can be controlled without moving the mouse, making it more suitable for cursor manipulation in extreme environments. The push rod is located on the first operating surface, allowing the thumb to operate the push rod, making it more convenient to use. The second operating surface is equipped with a button group, allowing fingers other than the thumb to operate the buttons, improving the operability of the mouse.

[0031] 2. The grooves make the shape of the palm and the mouse fit better, which not only improves the comfort of using the mouse, but also facilitates the comfortable force of the fingers and improves the operability of the mouse;

[0032] 3. The pushing component is used to increase the fit between the thumb and the push rod. By providing the pushing component, the contact between the thumb and the push rod is closer, and force can be applied to the push rod at different angles, thereby improving the operability of the mouse.

[0038] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] A thumb push rod 2 mouse, referring to Figure 1 , comprising a housing 1, a push rod 2, a button group 3, and a mounting member 4. The housing 1 is shaped to fit the hand, and includes a first operating surface 11, a second operating surface 12, and a groove 13. The first operating surface 11 and the second operating surface 12 face different directions, so that when the palm is naturally placed on the mouse, the thumb can naturally rest on the first operating surface 11, and the remaining fingers can also naturally rest on the second operating surface 12, making the operation of the mouse more convenient and appropriate. The groove 13 makes the housing 1 more consistent with the shape of the palm when placed, which not only improves the comfort of using the mouse, but also facilitates the comfortable exertion of force by the fingers, thereby improving the operability of the mouse.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and 2The push rod 2 is mounted on the first operating surface 11. The operator can control the movement of the cursor on the screen by pushing the push rod 2 with the thumb, thus avoiding the use of traditional infrared spot positioning, which is difficult to operate in a vibrating environment. A protective cover 21 made of flexible material is provided on the outside of the push rod 2. The flexible material does not hinder the movement of the push rod 2, ensuring the normal operation of the push rod 2. It can also prevent external debris or liquids from entering the push rod 2 or the interior of the mouse, improving the mouse's waterproof ability and stability in extreme environments. In addition, a pushing component 22 is provided on the edge of the upper surface of the push rod 2. The pushing component 22 is a small bump structure, with four of them evenly distributed on the edge of the upper surface of the push rod 2. The pushing components 22 distributed on the edge of the surface form a shape similar to the groove 13. When the thumb presses on the push rod 2, the groove 13 structure can ensure a tight fit between the push rod 2 and the thumb. The raised edge makes it easier for the thumb to exert force, making the operation of the push rod 2 easier and improving the operability of the mouse.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The button group 3 is mounted on the second operating surface 12 and includes an upper button 31, a middle button 32, and a lower button 33. These three buttons are positioned sequentially along the edge of the second operating surface 12, allowing for easy and natural clicking with fingers other than the thumb. Protective rings 34 are added to the edges of the upper button 31, the middle button 32, and the lower button 33 to effectively prevent dust and other foreign matter from entering the mouse, ensuring normal operation in harsh environments.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and 3 A mounting member 4 is connected below the push rod 2. The mounting member 4 includes a locking seat 41 and a locking member. The locking seat 41 is connected to the push rod 2 and has a threaded portion that passes through the housing 1. The locking seat 41 is mounted on the threaded portion of the locking seat 41 inside the housing 1, so that the locking seat 41 and the locking member clamp the housing 1, thereby fixing the push rod 2 on the housing 1. In addition, a fixing rod 14 is provided below the housing 1. The fixing rod 14 is used to fix the mouse in a specified position. Since the push rod 2 replaces the traditional infrared spot positioning, the mouse does not need to be moved for positioning, so the mouse can be controlled, making it more suitable for operation in extreme environments.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 A bottom plate 5 is provided below the housing 1 , and a connection port 51 is connected below the bottom plate 5 , through which the mouse can achieve signal connection with the outside.

[0044] The implementation principle of the present embodiment is as follows: using push rod 2 instead of traditional infrared spot positioning makes it more suitable for cursor operation in extreme environments. When operating the mouse, the palm of the hand covers the outside of the mouse, with the thumb placed on the first operating surface 11 to operate the push rod 2, and the remaining fingers placed on the second operating surface 12 to press the buttons of the button group 3. The groove 13 on the housing 1 is adapted to the shape of the palm, making the hand more comfortable and suitable for exerting force when operating the mouse.

[0045] The examples of this specific embodiment are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
