Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mouse technology, and in particular to a metal mouse. Background Technology

[0002] The mouse is one of the most commonly used personal items for work and entertainment. With the rapid growth of personalized needs, conventional mice can no longer meet people's needs, while metal mice are increasingly favored by consumers due to their excellent luster and texture.

[0003] Currently, most buttons on metal mice suffer from problems such as being difficult to press and not being responsive enough. The main reason is that, compared to plastic buttons, metal buttons have stronger mechanical strength but less flexibility, resulting in a longer button rebound time, requiring more effort to press and being less responsive, which makes them unsuitable for long-term work and entertainment needs and limits their use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a metal mouse with a narrow rib structure formed on the pressing part. This not only reduces the weight of the button itself, but also effectively improves the flexibility of the pressing part, reduces its rebound response time, improves button sensitivity, and prevents or reduces the entry of foreign objects into the mouse through the weight-reducing slots and their impact on the operation of components on the circuit board, thus ensuring the lifespan of the mouse. It also reduces the load on the hand and wrist when operating the mouse.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A metal mouse includes a front shell and a bottom shell, with a left button and a right button respectively located on the left and right sides of the front portion of the front shell; wherein:

[0007] Both the front shell and the bottom shell are hollow metal shells, and several circuit boards are mounted on the bottom shell;

[0008] Both the left and right buttons include a pressing part and a triggering part connected to each other. Both pressing parts are metal pressing parts and are matched and embedded on the face shell. The lower ends of both triggering parts extend to the top of a switch element. Both switch elements are disposed on a circuit board.

[0009] As a further explanation of the above technical solution:

[0010] In the above technical solution, both pressing parts are cantilever beam structures, and their positioning ends extend to the lower end of the face shell and are provided with a number of first positioning holes and slots. Their free ends extend to the face shell and are matched and connected with it. Each free end / positioning end has one or more first weight reduction holes and slots formed on its side wall near the positioning end / free end.

[0011] In the above technical solution, each of the trigger portions has an insulating sheet at the end facing the switch.

[0012] In the above technical solution, a plurality of second weight-reducing slots are formed on the surface shell, and a connecting rib is formed between each pair of adjacent second weight-reducing slots. The lower ends of the plurality of connecting ribs are formed with a plurality of second positioning pins extending toward the inside of the mouse and adapting to the first positioning slots one by one.

[0013] In the above technical solution, a plurality of third weight-reducing slots are formed on the bottom shell, and a plurality of vertically extending third positioning pins and third support plates are formed on its inner wall. A plurality of circuit boards are mounted on the plurality of third positioning pins, and a roller is mounted on the plurality of third support plates.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a first protective plate is provided above and / or around one or more of the circuit boards. The first protective plate is located below a plurality of second weight-reducing slots and outside a plurality of third weight-reducing slots. The first protective plate is detachably fixed to a plurality of the circuit boards and / or the third support plate.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the bottom shell is a one-piece molded flat plate structure; the top shell is a one-piece molded curved surface structure with a hollowed-out center, and a side key is embedded in its left and / or right sides. A circuit board is provided on the side of each side key, and a second protective plate is provided around it.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting several first weight-reducing grooves on the pressing parts of both left and right buttons, a narrow and elongated rib structure can be formed on the pressing parts, which can not only reduce the weight of the buttons themselves, but also effectively improve the flexibility of the pressing parts, reduce their rebound response time, and improve button sensitivity; by setting several weight-reducing grooves on both the front and bottom shells, the weight of the mouse shell can be further reduced, reducing the load on the hand and wrist when operating the mouse; by covering the circuit board with a protective plate, it can be prevented or reduced that foreign objects enter the mouse through the weight-reducing grooves and affect the operation of the components on the circuit board, thus ensuring the lifespan of the mouse.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "several" or "more than" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" a second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or it can include contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of a second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" of a second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a metal mouse includes a front shell 10 and a bottom shell 20. A left button 30 and a right button 40 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the front portion of the front shell 10; wherein:

[0024] Both the front shell 10 and the bottom shell 20 are hollow metal shells, and several circuit boards 50 are mounted on the bottom shell 20.

[0025] Both the left button 30 and the right button 40 include a pressing part 1 and a trigger part 2 connected to each other. Both pressing parts 1 are metal pressing parts and are matched and embedded on the face shell 10. The lower ends of both trigger parts 2 extend to the top of a switch element. Both switch elements are located on a circuit board 50.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, to further improve the flexibility of the pressing part 1 and simultaneously reduce the weight of the left and right buttons, both pressing parts 1 are cantilever beam structures. Their positioning ends extend to the lower end of the faceplate 10 and are provided with several first positioning slots 101. Their free ends extend to the faceplate 10 and are matched and connected thereto. Each free end / positioning end has one or more first weight-reducing slots 102 formed on its sidewall near the positioning end / free end. Meanwhile, to further ensure safety during use, each trigger part 2 has an insulating sheet 3 at its end facing the switch. In this embodiment, the insulating sheet 3 is an insulating Mylar sheet.

[0027] It is understandable that providing several first weight-reducing grooves 102 on the pressing part 1 of the left and right buttons not only reduces the weight of the buttons themselves, but also forms a narrow rib structure between two adjacent first weight-reducing grooves 102. Compared with a sheet of metal, this rib structure is more flexible, which can significantly enhance the flexibility of the pressing part 1, reduce its rebound response time, improve button sensitivity, and allow for easy button operation with relatively small pressing force. In order to ensure that the operation effect of the left and right buttons is stable and consistent, in this embodiment, the first weight-reducing grooves 102 on the two pressing parts 1 are the same in shape and size and are symmetrically arranged.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to reduce the overall weight of the mouse, a number of second weight-reducing slots 11 are formed on the front shell 10. A connecting rib 12 is formed between each pair of adjacent second weight-reducing slots 11. A number of second positioning posts 13 are formed at the lower ends of the connecting ribs 12, extending toward the inside of the mouse and matching the first positioning slots 101.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to reduce the overall weight of the mouse, a number of third weight-reducing grooves 21 are formed on the bottom shell 20, and a number of vertically extending third positioning posts 22 and third support plates 23 are formed on its inner wall. A number of circuit boards 50 are mounted on the number of third positioning posts 22, and a roller 60 is mounted on the number of third support plates 23. One end of the roller 60 passes through the front shell 10 and extends to its outer side. The roller 60 is located between the left button 30 and the right button 40.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in order to prevent foreign objects from falling into the mouse through the cutouts of the cover 10 and affecting the circuit board 50 and its components, a first protective plate 70 is provided above and / or around one or more circuit boards 50. The first protective plate 70 is located below a plurality of second weight-reducing slots 11 and outside a plurality of third weight-reducing slots 21. The first protective plate 70 is detachably fixed on a plurality of circuit boards 50 and / or on a third support plate 23.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 20 is a one-piece flat plate structure; the front shell 10 is a one-piece curved structure with a hollowed-out center, and a side key 80 is embedded in its left and / or right sides. A circuit board 50 is provided on each side of the side key 80, and a second protective plate 90 is provided around it.

[0032] This invention provides several first weight-reducing slots 101 on the pressing parts 1 of both left and right buttons, forming a narrow rib structure on the pressing parts 1. This not only reduces the weight of the buttons themselves but also effectively improves the flexibility of the pressing parts 1, reduces their rebound response time, and enhances button sensitivity. By providing several weight-reducing slots on both the front shell 10 and the bottom shell 20, the weight of the mouse shell can be further reduced, alleviating the load on the hand and wrist when operating the mouse. By covering the circuit board 50 with a protective plate, foreign objects can be prevented or reduced from entering the mouse through the weight-reducing slots and affecting the operation of components on the circuit board, ensuring the lifespan of the mouse.

[0033] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
