[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, a dual-mode mouse with a press switch is provided, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing mouse cannot switch the micro switch at any time. Figures 1-2 As shown, the push-to-switch dual-mode mouse includes a mouse body 10; a cavity 11 is provided inside the mouse body 10, and a main PCB board is installed in the cavity 11; a mouse button 12 is provided at the upper end of the mouse body 10, and a grip arm 13 is connected to the inner side of the mouse button 12, and the grip arm 13 is placed in the cavity 11; the bottom surface of the mouse body 10 is provided with a groove body 14 connected to the cavity 11, and a function switching component is provided in the groove body 14, and the function switching component includes a button 20 and a micro switch group.

[0022] The button 20 has a first end 21 and a second end 22 that are oppositely disposed. A rotating portion 23 is disposed between the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the button 20. The rotating portion 23 is rotatably mounted on the mouse body 10. Pressing the first end 21 or the second end 22 of the button 20 causes the first end 21 or the second end 22 of the button 20 to alternately move toward the gripping arm 13. This means that the button 20 rotates between a forward swing position and a rearward swing position. Pressing the first end 21 of the button 20 rotates the button 20 to the forward swing position, while pressing the second end 22 of the button 20 rotates the button 20 from the forward swing position to the rearward swing position.

[0023] The microswitch assembly includes a first microswitch 30 and a second microswitch 31 adapted for use with the gripper arm 13. Both the first and second microswitch 30, 31 are located within the cavity 11, with the first microswitch 30 positioned at the first end 21 of the button 20, and the second microswitch 31 at the second end 22 of the button 20. Both the first and second microswitch 30, 31 are electrically connected to the main PCB. When the button 20 is in the forward position, the first microswitch 30 is positioned under the gripper arm 13. When the button 20 is in the rearward position, the second microswitch 31 is positioned under the gripper arm 13.

[0024] According to the technical solution, pressing the first end 21 of the button 20 causes the first microswitch 30 to move to the underside of the gripping arm 13 of the button 20. The user then presses the mouse button 12 to move the gripping arm 13 downward, causing the gripping arm 13 to contact the contacts on the first microswitch 30, thereby transmitting an electrical signal. Similarly, pressing the second end 22 of the button 20 causes the second microswitch 31 to move to the underside of the gripping arm 13 of the button 20. The user then presses the button 20 to move the gripping arm 13 downward, causing the gripping arm 13 to contact the contacts on the second microswitch 31, thereby transmitting an electrical signal. Pressing the button 20 to adjust its position instantly adjusts the first and second microswitch 30, 31 to the desired positions. Operation is simple and switching is fast. By using the gripping arm 13 in conjunction with the first or second microswitch 30, 31, the mouse body 10 can be switched to different modes to achieve different functions.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the side of the button 20 close to the grab arm 13 is arranged in a structure with a high middle part and low ends, that is, the inner side of the button 20 is arranged to be tilted downward from the middle to the two ends; the side of the button 20 away from the grab arm 13 is arranged in a structure with a low middle part and high ends, that is, the outer side of the button 20 is also arranged to be tilted downward from the middle to the two ends. When the first end 21 of the button 20 is positioned near the gripping arm 13, i.e., the button 20 is in the forward swing position, the inner side surface of the first end 21 of the button 20 is in a nearly horizontal position, causing the first microswitch 30 located on the inner side surface of the first end 21 of the button 20 to be in a horizontal position, facilitating the downward movement of the gripping arm 13 by contacting the first microswitch 30 and sending a signal. When the button 20 is rotated so that the second end 22 of the button 20 is positioned near the gripping arm 13, i.e., the backward swing position, the inner side surface of the second end 22 of the button 20 is in a nearly horizontal position, causing the second microswitch 31 located on the inner side surface of the second end 22 of the button 20 to be in a horizontal position, facilitating the downward movement of the gripping arm 13 by contacting the second microswitch 31 and sending a signal. The side of the button 20 away from the gripping arm 13 is designed in a low-center, high-end structure. This structural design results in protrusions on the outer side surface of the button 20, making it easier for the user to press the first end 21 or the second end 22 of the button 20 from the outside, making operation more convenient.

[0026] In this embodiment of the present invention, both the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the button 20 are provided with elastic positioning buckles. A positioning member is provided within the mouse body 10, positioned on one side of the button 20. The positioning member has a slot that engages with the positioning buckle to position the button 20. The positioning member has two slots, one for each positioning member at the first end 21 of the button 20 and the other for each positioning member at the second end 22 of the button 20. The first end 21 of the button 20 moves toward the gripping arm 13 until the locating buckle at the first end 21 of the button 20 engages with the slot of the positioning member, and the button 20 stops moving. At this point, the button 20 is in the forward swing position. Pressing the second end 22 of the button 20 causes the locating buckle at the first end 21 of the button 20 to elastically deform, causing the first end 21 of the button 20 to separate from the slot of the positioning member, releasing the fixation of the button 20. The second end 22 of the button 20 moves toward the gripping arm 13 until the locating buckle at the second end 22 of the button 20 engages with the slot of the positioning member, and the button 20 stops moving. At this point, the button 20 is in the backward swing position. The positioning member is provided to position the button 20 and improve the stability of the button.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, a rotation hole is provided on the positioning member; the rotating portion 23 is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotation hole.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the groove body 14 extends toward the inner side of the cavity 11 to form a dustproof ring, thereby reducing dust particles from entering the cavity 11 of the mouse body 10 .

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mouse button 12 includes a left button and a right button that are adjacent to each other; there are two groups of function switching components, which are respectively arranged at the lower sides of the left button and the right button.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
