Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mice, and more particularly to a mouse structure.
[0002] Background technology.
[0003] In current technology, with the continuous updates to computers and laptops, peripheral devices for computers and laptops are also constantly being improved. Mice are generally manufactured in a standardized manner, comprising mouse buttons and a scroll wheel that need to be pressed with fingers, and the mouse body that needs to be held in the palm of the hand; these components together form the complete size of the mouse. However, now, in pursuit of features such as thinness and ease of storage, mice are designed as wireless mice, eliminating the connecting cable. The mouse body for holding the hand is further miniaturized, making the overall size of the mouse small for easy carrying and storage. While these methods can reduce the size of the mouse, the feel of the mouse is significantly reduced; there is not enough space in the mouse body for holding the hand, resulting in a poor user experience.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1This is a 3D view of the mouse structure in its stowed state according to this application. Figure 2 It is a 3D diagram showing the usage status and Figure 3 This is an exploded view of a first embodiment of the mouse structure of this application. As shown, this embodiment provides a mouse structure 1, which includes a mouse body 11, an elastic member 12, a scrolling component 13, and a sliding cover 14. The top 111 of the mouse body 11 has a groove 110. One end of the elastic member 12 is disposed in the groove 110. The scrolling component 13 is disposed at the other end of the elastic member 12. The sliding cover 14 is slidably disposed on the top 111 of the mouse body 11, and the scrolling component 13 abuts against the inner surface of the sliding cover 14. The inner surface of the sliding cover 14 has a first positioning groove 141 and a second positioning groove 142, which are located on the sliding path of the scrolling component 13 relative to the sliding cover 14. The scrolling component 13 is positioned in the first positioning groove 141 or the second positioning groove 142.
[0031] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 14 has an outer frame portion 143 on its periphery, and an opening 144 on one side of the outer frame portion 143. The mouse body 11 further has a body portion 112, with a top 111 located on the body portion 112. A notch 1111 is formed between the top 111 and the periphery of the body portion 112, meaning that the area of the top 111 is smaller than the area of the body portion 112, so that the side of the top 111 and the top surface of the body portion 112 located outside the top 111 form an L-shaped notch 1111. The outer frame portion 143 of the sliding cover 14 slides into the notch 1111. The outer frame portion 143 and the notch 1111 are the same size, so that when the mouse structure 1 is in the stored state, the sliding cover 14 and the mouse body 11 can be reassembled into a single structure for easy storage. Furthermore, the top 111 includes at least one control area 1112, which is located on one side of the adjacent recess 1111. The control area 1112 includes mouse buttons and / or a scroll wheel, which can be configured according to the user's needs.
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the A-A' line in its stored state and Figure 5 yes Figure 2The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the mouse body 11 in its usage state, as shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the first positioning groove 141 is closer to the opening 144 than the second positioning groove 142. In other words, when the scrolling component 13 is positioned in the first positioning groove 141 and the sliding cover 14 slides away from the mouse body 11, the mouse body 11 is in an unfolded state relative to the sliding cover 14, wherein the sliding cover 14 does not cover the control area 1112, and the user can operate the control area 1112. When the scrolling component 13 is positioned in the second positioning groove 142 and the sliding cover 14 slides to cover the mouse body 11, the mouse body 11 is in a retracted state relative to the sliding cover 14, wherein the sliding cover 14 covers the control area 1112, thus protecting the control area 1112 of the mouse body 11 from external impact when not in use.
[0033] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 In the mouse structure 1 of the first embodiment, the scrolling assembly 13 includes a roller 131, a roller 132, and a roller seat 133. The roller 132 passes through both ends of the roller 131, and both ends of the roller 132 are fixed to the roller seat 133. The bottom surface of the roller seat 133 is fixed to the other end of the elastic member 12, and the arcuate surface of the roller 131 abuts against the sliding cover 14. When the roller 131 of the scrolling assembly 13 is engaged in the second positioning groove 142 (e.g....), Figure 4 As shown, the sliding cover 14 covers the mouse body 11, and the scroll wheel 131 is also pushed upward by the elastic member 12 into the second positioning groove 142 of the sliding cover 14, thus maintaining the sliding cover 14 and the mouse body 11 in a retracted state.
[0034] As described above, when the slider 14 is moved away from the mouse body 11, the slider 14 slides relative to the mouse body 11. The outer frame 143 of the slider 14, relative to the recess 1111 of the mouse body 11, restricts the movement of the slider 14. Simultaneously, the control area 1112 of the mouse body 11 is exposed outward from the opening 144 of the slider 14. The slider 14 drives the scroll wheel 131 to rotate relative to the roller 132. As the scroll wheel 131 rotates out of the second positioning groove 142, the slider 14 begins to move, with the scroll wheel 131 pressing against the inner surface of the slider 14 until it moves into the first positioning groove 141. The scroll wheel 131 is then again pressed upward by the elastic element 12 into the first positioning groove 141 of the slider 14, thus maintaining the slider 14 in an extended state relative to the mouse body 11. The first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142 are arc groove structures, which can be used to fit and fix the roller 131, and also allow the roller 131 to easily roll out of the first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142.
[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 6This is an exploded view of the second embodiment of the mouse structure of this application. Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the A-A' line in its stored state and Figure 8 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the B-B' line in its usage state. As shown in the figure, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the scrolling component 13, wherein the appearance of the mouse structure 1 in this embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown), therefore, the above description uses the same cross-sectional line position. The rolling assembly 13 includes a ball seat 134 and a ball 135. The ball seat 134 has a receiving groove 1341, and the ball 135 is located in the receiving groove 1341. The bottom surface of the ball seat 134 is fixed to the other end of the elastic member 12, and the surface of the ball 135 abuts against the sliding cover 14. The rolling direction of the ball 135 relative to the ball seat 134 is not limited. In addition, the purpose of the ball 135 of the rolling assembly 13 in this embodiment is the same as that of the roller 131 of the rolling assembly 13 in the first embodiment, so it will not be described again.
[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 6 And see also Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of the mouse structure in its retracted state, showing the limiting structure of the present application. Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view of the limiting structure in use. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the inner surface of the sliding cover 14 has a limiting hole 145, and the top 111 of the mouse body 11 has a limiting post 113, which is located within the limiting hole 145. The opening of the limiting hole 145 extends in the same direction as the arrangement of the first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142, and the length of the opening of the limiting hole 145 is equal to the distance between the first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142. The sliding cover 14 can move along the extending direction of the opening of the limiting hole 145, thus the limiting post 113 can restrict the horizontal movement of the sliding cover 14 relative to the mouse body 11. Furthermore, the positions of the two ends of the extending direction of the opening of the limiting hole 145 relative to the positions of the first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142 are also considered. When the sliding cover 14 moves so that the limiting post 113 is located at one end of the limiting hole 145, the rolling component 13 is also simultaneously positioned in one of the first positioning groove 141 or the second positioning groove 142. The combination of the limiting post 113 and the limiting hole 145 can also limit the sliding range of the sliding cover 14 relative to the mouse body 11.
[0037] In addition, one end of the limiting post 113 is further provided with a limiting block 114, the outer diameter of which is larger than the opening width of the limiting hole 145. One end of the limiting post 113 passes through the limiting hole 145, which has a accommodating space. When the limiting block 114 is fixed to one end of the limiting post 113, the limiting post 113 is restricted by the limiting block 114 and the limiting hole 145, preventing it from detaching from the limiting hole 145. Thus, the limiting block 114 and the limiting hole 145 can restrict the vertical movement of the sliding cover 14 relative to the mouse body 11.
[0038] In this embodiment, the scrolling component 13 of the mouse body 11 is combined with the first positioning groove 141 and the second positioning groove 142 of the sliding cover 14. The scrolling component 13 is positioned relative to the first positioning groove 141 of the sliding cover 14 in an active state. The scrolling component 13 is positioned relative to the second positioning groove 142 of the sliding cover 14 in a retracted state. This embodiment does not limit the structural state of the scrolling component 13, and the scrolling component 13 allows the sliding cover 14 to be easily positioned during sliding. In addition, since the sliding use of the sliding cover 14 and the mouse body 11 in this embodiment is simple and the overall structure is not complex, the user can further combine it with a driving structure. When the sliding cover 14 is in a retracted state relative to the mouse body 11, the sliding cover 14 drives the mouse structure 1 to a power-off state. When the sliding cover 14 is in an unfolded state relative to the mouse body 11, the sliding cover 14 drives the mouse structure 1 to a power-on state. The above can be designed according to the user's needs.
[0039] In summary, this application provides a mouse structure that offers both a stored and a used state through the design of the mouse body and a sliding cover. In the stored state, the sliding cover slides relative to the mouse body, covering it, resulting in a small overall volume for the mouse body and sliding cover. In the used state, the sliding cover slides away from the mouse body, unfolding to one side of the mouse body, providing a gripping area for the user and offering a comfortable operating experience.
