Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As users increasingly demand higher quality mouse products, for example, different users have different needs for the feel of the buttons. The left and right buttons are generally pressed by the index and middle fingers of the right hand, and the feel of the left and right buttons may also differ. However, existing mouse products generally have problems such as a single and unadjustable feel for the buttons.

[0003] Some researchers in the industry have conducted research on adjusting the spring force of mouse buttons. For example, CN111857386A discloses a mouse with adjustable button spring force, including a mouse shell. A button is movably connected to the top of the mouse shell, a magnet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the button, a support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the button, an electromagnet is fixedly connected to the side of the mouse shell near the button, a lever is rotatably connected to the bottom of the bottom of the mouse shell, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left end of the lever. This mouse with adjustable button spring force uses the repulsion between the magnet and the electromagnet to replace the pressure of the button, making it easy to adjust the button pressure and adapt to the usage needs of different users. From its working process and principle, we can see that when using the mouse, if the button pressing pressure is not what the user needs, adjust the movable block at the bottom of the mouse shell. Slide the movable block backward with your thumb. At this time, under the limiting action of the groove inside the movable block, the movable block moves along the edge of the mouse, driving the movable rack inside the mouse shell to move backward. The meshing transmission between the rack and gear causes the shaft to rotate, driving the fixedly connected pin to rotate on the inner surface of the annular resistor. At this time, the resistance in the electromagnet circuit decreases, the current increases, and the force of the electromagnet repelling the magnet increases. The magnet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the button, and the pressing pressure increases. If the pressing pressure is still not enough for the user, continue to slide the movable block until the user's needs are met.

[0004] However, its structure is relatively complex, and the mouse also requires electromagnet circuitry, which necessitates many modifications to the internal design of the mouse, making its widespread application difficult.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a mouse with adjustable feel that can meet consumers' personalized feel needs. In particular, it has a simple structure, is easy to implement and operate, and the button feel can be quickly adjusted and changed according to the user's habits, making it easy to promote and apply.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A mouse with adjustable feel includes a mouse body, the mouse body including a mouse shell and a push button disposed on the top of the mouse shell;

[0009] The button is separate from the mouse housing. An extension arm extends rearward from the rear end of the button to fit into the mouse housing, and the rear end of the extension arm is hinged to the mouse housing. The hinge axis is oriented left-right, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge to provide a first force in the up-down direction of the button. A spring adjustment assembly is provided on the extension arm, comprising a spring and an adjustment structure. The spring provides a second force in the up-down direction of the extension arm, the second force being opposite in direction to the first force. The adjustment structure can adjust the magnitude of the second force of the spring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the extended arm is an inclined plane extending diagonally upward from front to back. The elastic adjustment component is located below the inclined plane. The spring is designed as a spring needle structure, which includes a needle tube, a needle tip, and a compression spring. The upper end of the needle tip abuts against the inclined plane, and the lower end of the needle tip extends into and is held inside the needle tube. The compression spring is located inside the needle tube, and its upper end acts on the needle tip. The adjustment structure includes a moving block, and the spring needle structure is located on the moving block. Moving the moving block back and forth causes the spring needle structure to move back and forth to change the second upward force exerted by the needle tip on the inclined plane. Correspondingly, the direction of the first force is set downward.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the mouse housing has a bottom shell with a clearance window reserved on the bottom shell. The movable block is exposed at the clearance window, and the movable block is moved in the front-back direction at the window.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the left and / or right edges of the movable block are provided with a number of first slots with front-to-back spacing, and the mouse shell is fixedly provided with a first spring piece. When the movable block is moved in the front-to-back direction, different first slots and first spring pieces are switched to engage with each other.

[0013] or:

[0014] The left and / or right edges of the moving block are provided with second springs, and the mouse housing is provided with several second slots with front-to-back spacing. When the moving block is moved in the front-to-back direction, the second springs engage with different second slots.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, an isolation plate is provided above the bottom shell, and an isolation groove extending forward and backward is formed between the bottom surface of the isolation plate and the top surface of the bottom shell. The movable block extends into the isolation groove, and when the movable block is moved in the forward and backward direction, the movable block slides back and forth in the isolation groove.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic adjustment component is disposed at the top of the extension arm; the spring is a compression spring, and the adjustment component includes a screw, which acts on the top of the spring. Rotating the screw changes the vertical position of the screw, thereby adjusting the compression amount of the compression spring to change the magnitude of the second downward force exerted by the spring on the extension arm.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the mouse housing is recessed and has a mounting platform. The mounting platform has a through hole running vertically through the top and bottom, and a nut is provided corresponding to the through hole. The screw has a hollow cavity inside its screw shaft. The upper end of the spring passes through the through hole and extends into the hollow cavity. The screw shaft extends downward into the through hole, and the external thread of the screw shaft is adapted to the internal thread of the nut.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, a cover is provided at the top of the mouse shell corresponding to the recessed area, and the cover is detachably magnetically attached to the mouse shell.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, a hinge base is installed inside the mouse housing, the rear end of the extension arm is hinged to the hinge base, a latching arm extends from the upper end of the hinge base, and a latching hole is correspondingly provided inside the mouse housing. During installation, the latching arm is latched upward into the latching hole.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, there are two buttons arranged side by side, and each button has an independent elastic adjustment component to independently adjust the effective reset force of each button.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has significant advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly involves separately installing the button and the mouse shell. A torsion spring provides a stable and reliable first force in the vertical direction to the button. An elastic adjustment component is provided on the extended arm to adjust the second force provided in the vertical direction of the extended arm. The second force is opposite to the first force, and the resultant force of the two is the effective reset force (or the main effective reset force) of the button. The adjustment structure can adjust the magnitude of the second force of the spring, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the effective reset force of the button. It provides a variable feel function, allowing consumers to adjust the feel themselves. After self-adjustment, the button obtains stable force feedback, ensuring that the mouse button feel is more in line with and meets the individual needs of consumers. In particular, its structure is simple, easy to implement, and easy to operate. The button feel can be quickly adjusted and changed according to the user's habits. It requires less modification to the internal design of the mouse, is easy to promote and apply, and does not rely on the reset force of the switch spring of the button, making the switch spring more durable and the product more competitive.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of various embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] A mouse with adjustable feel includes a mouse body, which includes a mouse shell 10 and push buttons 20 located on the left and right sides of the top front end of the mouse shell 10. A scroll wheel is located between the left and right push buttons 20. The push buttons 20 are separately assembled with the mouse shell 10. The rear end of each push button 20 extends rearward with an extension arm 30 to enter the mouse shell 10, and the rear end of the extension arm 30 is hinged to the mouse shell 10. The hinge axis L is set along the left-right direction. A torsion spring 31 is provided at the hinge to provide a first force in the up-down direction of the push button 20 (which can be understood as providing a stable first force through the torsion spring 31). The extension arm 30 is provided with a spring adjustment component, which includes a spring and an adjustment mechanism. The spring provides a second force in the vertical direction of the extended arm 30. The point of application of this second force is located between the press button 20 and the rear end of the extended arm 30. The second force is opposite in direction to the first force, and their resultant force is the effective reset force of the press button 20. The effective reset force of the press button 20 is greater than zero N and its direction is upward. Conventional press buttons 20 need to maintain an upward reset force, which is determined by the elasticity of the press button 20 itself and the elasticity of the spring plate of the switch it triggers. That is, after the user presses down on the press button 20 and releases their finger, the press button 20 automatically resets upward. The adjustment structure can adjust the magnitude of the second force of the spring, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the effective reset force of the press button 20. Since there are two press buttons 20, arranged left and right, independent elastic adjustment components can be provided for the left and right press buttons 20 respectively, so as to independently adjust the effective reset force of each press button 20.

[0037] Furthermore, a hinge base 11 is installed inside the mouse housing 10, and the rear end of the extended arm 30 is hinged to the hinge base 11. A latch arm 111 extends from the upper end of the hinge base 11, and a latch hole 12 is provided inside the mouse housing 10 accordingly. During installation, the latch arm 111 is latched upward into the latch hole 12. Compared with the case where a hinge position is provided on the mouse housing 10, the method of setting a hinge base 11 separately is easier to manufacture, and the strength of the hinge base 11 is guaranteed, which better ensures the reliability and service life.

[0038] In Embodiment 1, the bottom surface of the extended arm 30 is an inclined plane 301 extending obliquely upward from front to back. The elastic adjustment component is located below the inclined plane 301. The spring is designed as a spring needle structure, which includes a needle tube 41, a needle 42, and a compression spring 43 (the needle tube 41, needle 42, and spring are usually made of metal to provide better mechanical strength and support, fixation, etc.). The upper end of the needle 42 abuts against the inclined plane 301, and the lower end of the needle 42 extends into and is held inside the needle tube 41. The compression spring 43 is located inside the needle tube 41, and its upper end acts on the needle 42. The adjustment structure includes a moving block 44, and the spring needle structure is located on the moving block 44. Moving the moving block 44 back and forth causes... The spring needle structure moves back and forth to change the upward second force of the needle 42 on the inclined plane 301. Specifically, when the moving block 44 moves forward, that is, towards the end where the pressing key 20 is located, the needle 42 is gradually restricted by the gradually lowering inclined plane 301 and descends, causing the compression spring 43 to be further compressed, its elastic force increases, that is, the upward second force provided to the inclined plane 301 is greater. When the moving block 44 moves backward, the needle 42 gradually moves upward along the gradually rising inclined plane 301, causing the compression spring 43 to gradually release upward, its compression decreases, its elastic force decreases, that is, the upward second force provided to the inclined plane 301 becomes smaller; correspondingly, the direction of the first force is set downward.

[0039] The bottom of the mouse housing 10 has a bottom shell 13, on which a clearance window 131 is reserved. The moving block 44 is exposed at the clearance window 131, and the moving block 44 is moved in the front-back direction at the window. The left and / or right edges of the moving block 44 are provided with a plurality of first slots 441 with front-back spacing. The mouse housing 10 is relatively fixedly provided with first spring pieces 13. When the moving block 44 is moved in the front-back direction, different first slots 441 and first spring pieces 13 are switched to engage with each other; or: the left and / or right edges of the moving block 44 are provided with second spring pieces. The mouse housing 10 is relatively fixedly provided with a plurality of second slots with front-back spacing. When the moving block 44 is moved in the front-back direction, the second spring pieces engage with different second slots. An isolation plate 14 is provided above the bottom shell 13. An isolation groove 15 extending forward and backward is formed between the bottom surface of the isolation plate 14 and the top surface of the bottom shell 13. The movable block 44 extends into the isolation groove 15. When the movable block 44 is moved in the forward and backward direction, the movable block 44 slides back and forth in the isolation groove 15. Therefore, it plays a good role in positioning and guiding the movement of the movable block 44, and effectively prevents the movable block 44 from becoming loose.

[0040] In Embodiment 2, the elastic adjustment component is located at the top of the extended arm 30; the spring 51 is a compression spring, and the adjustment component includes a screw 52. The screw 52 acts on the top of the spring 51. Rotating the screw 52 changes its vertical position, thereby adjusting the compression of the spring and changing the magnitude of the downward second force exerted by the spring 51 on the extended arm 30. Specifically, rotating the screw clockwise usually causes it to move downward, increasing the compression of the spring. Rotating the screw counterclockwise causes it to move upward, decreasing the compression of the spring. Of course, the specific direction is not limited to this; the two rotation directions can be defined as opposite.

[0041] The top of the mouse housing 10 is recessed and has a mounting platform 16. The mounting platform 16 has a through hole 161 running vertically through the top and bottom. A nut 53 is provided corresponding to the through hole 161. The screw shank of the screw 52 has a hollow cavity 521 inside. The upper end of the spring passes through the through hole 161 and extends into the hollow cavity 521. The screw shank of the screw 52 extends downward into the through hole 161. The external thread of the screw shank of the screw 52 is adapted to the internal thread of the nut 53. Through the design of the hollow cavity 521, the height of the screw shank itself is cleverly utilized to obtain sufficient adjustment range within a limited space. The hollow cavity 521 also plays a role in positioning and guiding the spring 51. Generally, a mounting cavity is provided at the top of the extended arm 30 for the lower end of the spring 51 to extend into and be positioned. A cover 17 is provided at the top of the mouse shell 10 corresponding to the recessed area. The cover 17 is detachably magnetically attached to the mouse shell 10 (by two magnets or one magnet and one iron block). The structure is simple and easy to install and remove. The surface shape of the cover 17 is easy to match with the surface of the mouse shell 10. At the same time, the external color of the cover 17 can be flexibly designed to be different from that of the mouse shell 10 as needed, so as to play a decorative role.

[0042] The key design feature of this invention lies in its separate installation of the pressing button 20 and the mouse housing 10. A torsion spring 31 provides a stable and reliable first force in the vertical direction to the pressing button 20. A spring adjustment component is provided on the extended arm 30 to adjust the second force provided in the vertical direction to the extended arm 30. The second force is opposite in direction to the first force, and the resultant force of the two is the effective reset force (or the main effective reset force) of the pressing button 20. The adjustment structure can adjust the magnitude of the second force of the spring, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the effective reset force of the pressing button 20. It provides a variable feel function, allowing consumers to adjust the feel themselves, so that the button obtains stable force feedback after self-adjustment. This ensures that the mouse button feel is more in line with and meets the individual needs of consumers. In particular, its structure is simple, easy to implement, and easy to operate. The button feel can be quickly adjusted and changed according to the user's habits. It requires less modification to the internal design of the mouse, is easy to promote and apply, and does not rely on the reset force of the switch spring of the pressing button 20, making the switch spring more durable and giving the product a competitive advantage.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
