[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 ​As shown, the mouse A comprises a shell 100, two switch modules 200 and a base 300. The shell 100 and the base 300 are detachably connected with each other. The two switch modules 200 are arranged on the inner side of the shell 100, and the two switch modules 200 are located in the space formed by the shell 100 and the base 300.

[0027] The shell 100 comprises a main body 10, a support structure 11 and two movable keys 12. The main body 10 serves as the main structure of the mouse A held by a user. The support structure 11 is arranged on the main body 10. The support structure 11 comprises a structure body 111 and four fixed structures 112. The structure body 111 is fixed on the main body 10, and one side of the structure body 111 extends to form the four fixed structures 112.

[0028] The two movable keys 12 are movably connected with the main body 10, and each movable key 12 has a pressing structure 121 on the inner side thereof. The inner side of each movable key 12 refers to the side of the base 300 facing the movable key 12. The two movable keys 12 are the left key and the right key of the mouse A. A scroll wheel A1 can be arranged between the two movable keys 12.

[0029] Each fixed structure 112 comprises a column 1121, and the column 1121 has a locking hole 11211 at the end away from the structure body 111. The number of the fixed structures 112 included in the support structure 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Two columns 1121 are arranged around the pressing structure 121 of one of the movable keys 12, and the other two columns 1121 are arranged around the pressing structure 121 of the other movable key 12.

[0030] As shown, Figure 2 The base 300 is provided with a main circuit board 400, a movement detection module 500 and a processor 600. The base plate 20 is a component independent of the main circuit board 400, and each micro switch 21 is electrically connected with the processor 600 through a flexible flat cable or a wire. The movement detection module 500 is mainly used to convert the sliding movement track into an electrical signal, so that the processor 600 can transmit the electrical signal to an electronic device (such as a computer) in a wired or wireless manner.

[0031] As shown, Figure 3 、 Figures 6 to 8 Each switch module 200 comprises a base plate 20, a micro switch 21, two screws 22 and an elastic buffer adjusting member 23. The base plate 20 is, for example, a circuit board, and the base plate 20 has at least two through holes (adjusting holes 201A and fixed holes 201B). Each through hole is arranged through the base plate 20. The micro switch 21 is arranged on the base plate 20.

[0032] Each screw 22 can pass through one of the through holes and be locked with one of the locking holes 11211 of the support structure 11. That is, the bottom plate 20 is fixed to the two columns 1121 of the fixing structure 112 of the shell 100 by two screws 22 cooperating with two locking holes 11211, and one of the switch pieces 211 of the micro switch 21 is located below the pressing structure 121 of the movable key 12.

[0033] When the user presses the left or right button of the mouse, the movable key 12 will move relative to the body 10, and the pressing structure 121 will move towards the base 300. The pressing structure 121 included in the movable key 12 pressed by the user can correspondingly press the switch piece 211 of the adjacent micro switch 21.

[0034] The elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 is arranged between the bottom plate 20 and one of the support structures 11, and the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 can be elastically deformed under pressure. The screw 22 can be adjusted to change the amount of pressure deformation of the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23, so as to adjust the distance H (as shown in Figure 8 In one embodiment, the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 can be made of silica gel.

[0035] As described above, the relevant assembly personnel can simply adjust the distance H between the switch piece 211 of each micro switch 21 and the adjacent pressing structure 121 by operating each screw 22 during the assembly of the mouse A, so that each movable key 12 of the mouse A can have the expected pressing feeling.

[0036] It should be particularly emphasized that in the case where the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 is not arranged, the relevant personnel can only rely on the pitch of the screw 22 to adjust the distance H, but by adding the design of the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23, the relevant personnel can relatively more finely adjust the distance H through the elasticity of the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 itself.

[0037] In one embodiment in which the mouse A is applied as an e-sports mouse, the distance H can be between 0-0.7 millimeters (mm), the thickness of the elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 can be between 0.9-1.1 millimeters (mm), and the pitch of the screw 22 can be between 0.3-0.8 millimeters (mm).

[0038] In addition, it is particularly pointed out that the switch module 200 of the mouse A is fixed to the inner side of the shell 100, and in the assembly process of the mouse A, the relevant personnel can install the switch module 200 to the inner side of the shell 100, and directly change the interval H by adjusting the screw 22. In the adjustment process, the bottom plate 20 is irrelevant. In other words, the assembler can start adjusting the corresponding interval H by operating the screw 22 after installing the switch module 200 to the inner side of the shell 100, and the assembler does not need to wait for the bottom plate 20 and the shell 100 to be connected before adjusting the interval H. Therefore, the mouse A of the utility model can facilitate the assembler to adjust the interval H.

[0039] As the switch module 200 of the mouse A of the utility model is directly installed on the shell 100, in the production process, only the manufacturing tolerance of the shell 100 and the switch module 200 needs to be controlled, so that the error range of the interval H can be effectively controlled. Conversely, if the switch module is installed on the bottom plate, the factors affecting the error range of the interval H will be increased, such as the manufacturing tolerance of the bottom plate and the assembly tolerance of the shell and the bottom plate. Therefore, it is difficult for the relevant personnel to control the error range of the interval H.

[0040] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The two through holes of the bottom plate 20 can be defined as an adjustment hole 201A and a fixed hole 201B. The adjustment hole 201A is close to the switch piece 211 of the micro switch 21. The elastic buffer adjusting piece 23 is located between the adjustment hole 201A and the adjacent support structure 11. In practical application, the relevant personnel mainly adjust the screw 22 (in this embodiment, it is the screw 22 passing through the adjustment hole 201A) close to the switch piece 211 when adjusting the interval H, and the relevant personnel basically do not adjust the other screw 22 (in this embodiment, it is the screw 22 passing through the fixed hole 201B).

[0041] In practice, the switch piece 211 of the micro switch 21 is basically close to one end of the micro switch 21, and the switch piece 211 is basically not located in the center of the micro switch 21. Therefore, in practice, the bottom plate 20 and the shell 100 can be designed to enable the relevant personnel to quickly install the micro switch 21 to the correct position when assembling the micro switch 21.

[0042] For example, in one embodiment, each support structure 11 of the body 10 may further include a first positioning structure 113. Each first positioning structure 113 is disposed adjacent to one of the fixing structures 112. Each base plate 20 includes a second positioning structure 202, which can engage with the first positioning structure 113 to jointly limit the relative position of the base plate 20 and the fixing structure 112. The first positioning structure 113 may be a columnar structure, while the second positioning structure 202 may be a perforated structure. It should be noted that the specific shape and placement of the first positioning structure 113 and the second positioning structure 202 can be designed according to actual conditions; the figure shown is only one example.

[0043] Alternatively, the base plate 20 may have other auxiliary marking structures or patterns to assist assembly personnel in quickly and correctly installing the base plate 20 onto the fixing structure 112. For example, one corner of the base plate 20 may have a chamfered design, while the other three corners are generally right angles. Alternatively, the base plate 20 may be printed with marking patterns to help assembly personnel identify the installation direction of the base plate 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, a portion of the fixing structure 112 includes a column 1121 and multiple ribs 1122. The outer diameter of the column 1121 is smaller than the inner diameter of the adjustment hole 201A. The multiple ribs 1122 are formed on the outer side of the column 1121. The elastic buffer adjustment member 23 is a ring-shaped structure that can be fitted onto the end of the column 1121. When the screw 22 is locked to the support structure 11, the base plate 20 and the ribs 1122 can jointly clamp the elastic buffer adjustment member 23. The elastic buffer adjustment member 23 is fitted onto the column 1121, and one side of the elastic buffer adjustment member 23 is connected to the end of the adjacent multiple ribs 1122 by an adhesive (e.g., various types of adhesives, double-sided tape, etc.). Through the above design, it is possible for relevant personnel to quickly and easily install the elastic buffer adjustment member 23 into the expected position during the assembly of the switch module 200. In one embodiment, one of the ribs 1122 of each support structure 11 can also extend into a first positioning structure 113.

[0045] like Figure 9 As shown, it is worth mentioning that the straight-line distance from the center of the adjustment hole 201A to the center of the switching element 211 of the micro switch 21 is defined as a first distance D1, and the straight-line distance from the center of the fixing hole 201B to the center of the switching element 211 of the micro switch 21 is defined as a second distance D2, where the first distance D1 is less than the second distance D2. In one embodiment, the first distance D1 is less than half the length of the base plate 20. This design allows the screw 22, which passes through the adjustment hole 201A, to better change the spacing H when it is operated.

[0046] As described above, the mouse A of the present application can adjust the interval H between the pressing structure 121 of the movable key 12 and the switch piece 211 of the micro switch 21 during the assembly of the shell 100 and the switch module 200, so that the manufacturer can effectively control the pressing feeling of the movable key of the mouse.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that in practice, the manufacturer can press the left and right keys of the mouse with different weights of the pressing force (unit: gram) through additional detection equipment, and record the corresponding pressing force of the micro switch when the left and right keys generate signals, thereby obtaining the gram number (i.e. the feeling of the user when using) corresponding to the left and right keys of the mouse.

[0048] As described above, the switch module 200 of the mouse A of the present application is fixed to the inner side of the shell 100, so that the relevant assembly personnel can place the shell 100 with the switch module 200 fixed to the inner side of the shell 100 into the detection equipment to measure the gram number corresponding to each movable key 12 by using the detection equipment, and then the assembly personnel can adjust the screw 22 according to the requirement to make the gram number corresponding to each movable key 12 meet the expectation.

[0049] As described above, the mouse of the present application can adjust the interval H between the pressing structure 121 of the movable key 12 and the switch piece 211 of the micro switch 21 during the assembly process by operating the screw of the switch module according to the requirement, thereby effectively controlling the pressing feeling of the left and right keys of the mouse when leaving the factory.

[0050] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, so that any equivalent technical changes made by applying the content of the present application specification and drawings are included in the protection range of the present application.
