Description

A 4D mouse wheel capable of stable stepless and stepped scrolling. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mouse wheel technology, and in particular to a 4D mouse wheel that can stably switch between stepless and stepped scrolling. Background Technology

[0002] As society develops, more and more young people are pursuing higher quality and better user experience for all mouse components, leading to a demand for various mouse encoders and middle scroll wheels to be used in consumer electronics mice.

[0003] Most mouse wheels on the market are currently 3D scroll wheels, supporting only forward and backward scrolling, which translates to only vertical page turning on web pages. A few 4D scroll wheels support movement in all four directions, but the scroll wheel's tactile feedback is either stepped or non-stepping and cannot be switched. Furthermore, in the stepped state, the scroll wheel becomes unstable and wobbles when the touch is stopped, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience when turning pages too far and failing to stop effectively. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a 4D mouse wheel that can reliably switch between stepped and non-stepping motions to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a 4D mouse wheel capable of stable switching between stepped and stepped states. Its advantages include: rapid switching between stepped and stepped states of the mouse wheel; and the absence of wheel wobbling or instability when the scroll wheel is stepped, thus improving the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A 4D mouse wheel capable of stable stepless and stepped scrolling, comprising:

[0007] Roller body;

[0008] A limit component used to enable stepless and stepped switching of the roller body;

[0009] The switching component allows users to switch between the polarized and non-polarized states of the roller body by pressing the switching component.

[0010] The above technical solutions enable convenient switching between the polarized and non-polarized states of the roller body, while the limiting components ensure the stability of the roller in the polarized state.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the roller body includes a base, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the base, an inner gear ring frame is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft, and a metal outer ring is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the inner gear ring frame.

[0012] The above technical solutions provide a stable foundation for the rotation of the rollers.

The two clamping steel plates are respectively disposed on both sides of the inner gear ring frame. The inner walls on both sides of the inner gear ring frame are provided with teeth. One end of the clamping steel plate is snapped into the teeth.

[0014] Through the above technical solution: when the roller is in the polarized state, the cooperation between the clamping steel plate and the toothed bone can effectively limit the position of the roller and prevent the roller from shaking and becoming unstable.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a lower cover is snapped onto the bottom outer wall of the base, and one side of the lower cover is fixedly connected to the base by bolts.

[0016] Through the above technical solutions, the lower cover not only protects the structure inside the base, but also enhances the stability of the entire roller.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the number of teeth on the inner walls of both sides of the internal gear ring frame is 24, and one end of the clamping steel plate meshes with two teeth.

[0018] The above technical solutions further improve the stability of the roller when it stops under polarized conditions.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that the clamping steel sheet includes a fixing part, a connecting part and a locking part, wherein the locking part engages with the tooth bone.

[0020] The above technical solutions enable the clamping steel sheet to be stably fitted with the internal gear ring frame.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that the switching component includes a top cover fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base, a switching button is inserted inside the top cover, a connecting post is fixedly connected to one end of the switching button, a pressing rod is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post, and the bottom outer wall of the pressing rod contacts the top outer wall of the clamping steel sheet.

[0022] The above technical solution allows for the control of the clamped steel sheet's state by pressing or pulling the switch button, using the connecting column and pressing rod.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the pressing rod gradually increases along the direction close to the clamping steel sheet.

[0024] The above technical solution can evenly spread the two clamping steel plates, realizing the stepless switching of the roller.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it can realize the rapid switching between the stepped and non-stepped states of the mouse scroll wheel, meet people's usage needs in different states, expand the application range of the mouse scroll wheel, and at the same time, in the stepped state, the scroll wheel can be positioned by the limiting component, so that there will be no situation where the scroll wheel stops touching or becomes unstable, thus improving the user experience.

[0032] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1-5, a 4D mouse wheel capable of stable stepless and stepped scrolling includes:

[0034] Roller body;

[0035] A limit component used to enable stepless and stepped switching of the roller body;

[0036] The switching component allows users to switch between the polarized and non-polarized states of the scroll wheel by pressing it. This enables convenient switching between the polarized and non-polarized states of the mouse scroll wheel, while the limiting component ensures the stability of the scroll wheel in the polarized state.

[0037] To provide a stable foundation for the rotation of the roller, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the roller body includes a base 7, a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected inside the base 7, an inner gear ring frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 9, and a metal outer ring 1 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the inner gear ring frame 2.

[0038] To ensure the stability of the roller in the polarized state, referring to Figure 2, the limiting component includes two clamping steel plates 6 that are snapped into the base 7. The two clamping steel plates 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the internal gear ring frame 2. The inner walls on both sides of the internal gear ring frame 2 are provided with teeth 10. One end of the clamping steel plate 6 is snapped into the teeth 10. When the roller is in the polarized state, the cooperation between the clamping steel plate 6 and the teeth 10 can effectively limit the position of the roller and prevent the roller from shaking and becoming unstable.

[0039] To enhance the stability of the entire roller, referring to Figures 2 and 4, a lower cover 8 is snapped onto the bottom outer wall of the base 7. One side of the lower cover 8 is fixedly connected to the base 7 by bolts. The lower cover 8 not only protects the internal structure of the base 7, but also enhances the stability of the entire roller.

[0040] To ensure accurate roller positioning, referring to Figure 2, the number of teeth 10 on both sides of the inner wall of the internal gear ring frame 2 is 24. One end of the clamping steel plate 6 meshes with two teeth 10, which further improves the stability of the roller when it stops in the polarized state.

[0041] In order to flexibly adjust the state under the action of the switching component, referring to Figure 5, the clamping steel plate 6 includes a fixing part 601, a connecting part 602 and a locking part 603. The locking part 603 meshes with the tooth bone 10, which enables the clamping steel plate 6 to be stably engaged with the internal gear ring frame 2.

[0042] To achieve the switching between the stepped and stepless states of the roller, referring to Figures 1-2, the switching assembly includes an upper cover 4 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base 7. A switching button 3 is inserted inside the upper cover 4. One end of the switching button 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting post 11, and one end of the connecting post 11 is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 5. The bottom outer wall of the pressing rod 5 contacts the top outer wall of the clamping steel sheet 6. By pressing or pulling the switching button 3, the user can control the state of the clamping steel sheet 6 with the help of the connecting post 11 and the pressing rod 5.

[0043] In order to evenly expand the two clamping steel plates 6 and realize the stepless switching of the roller, as shown in Figure 2, the length of the pressing rod 5 gradually increases along the direction close to the clamping steel plates 6. This design ensures that the pressing rod 5 can evenly expand the two clamping steel plates 6 during the pressing process, ensuring a smooth and stable switching process.

[0044] Working principle: When users need to infinitely adjust the mouse scroll wheel, they can press down on the switch button 3. When the switch button 3 is subjected to downward pressure, it will cause the connecting post 11 at its bottom to descend. At the same time, a pressing rod 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 11. The pressing rod 5 descends with the connecting post 11, thereby opening the two clamping steel plates 6. After the two clamping steel plates 6 are opened, the locking part 603 at one end will separate from the toothed bone 10, thus achieving a toothless state and realizing infinitely adjustable mouse scroll wheel. When it is necessary to adjust to the stepped state, simply pull the switch button 3 upward to disengage the pressing rod 5 from the two clamping steel plates 6. At this time, the locking part 603 in the clamping steel plate 6 engages with the toothed bone 10, thus achieving a toothed state and completing the stepped adjustment of the scroll wheel. At the same time, since there are 24 teeth 10 on one side of the internal gear ring frame 2, and the locking part 603 engages with two teeth 10, the stability of the scroll wheel when stopped is increased.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
