Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The mouse is one of the most important external input devices for computers. Current mouse shells are typically made of rigid plastics such as PC through injection molding. This type of mouse doesn't fit the hand well enough, is quite hard, and has a poor grip, easily leading to hand soreness and fatigue after prolonged use.

[0003] There are also technical solutions that alleviate hand fatigue and soreness by setting multiple flexible blocks on the surface of the mouse shell, such as Chinese patent CN 216434892 U. However, the flexible blocks in this solution are set on the surface of the mouse shell in a multi-piece splicing manner, resulting in poor stability and durability.

[0004] Therefore, designing a stable, durable mouse shell that can effectively alleviate hand fatigue and soreness is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a mouse shell that is simple in structure, easy to process, stable and durable in overall structure, and improves operating comfort.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a mouse shell, including a hard shell, with holes on the top front forming a button mounting area and holes on the middle left side forming a side button mounting area; and a soft shell. The hard shell has multiple first grooves on the right front, spaced apart along the height direction to form a first connecting area. The hard shell has multiple second grooves on the middle left side, spaced apart along the length direction to form a second connecting area, located above the side button mounting area. The button mounting area has a first stepped surface surrounding the hole, and the side button mounting area has a second stepped surface surrounding the hole, with the first and second stepped surfaces connected. The soft shell has a shape similar to the hard shell. The shell is adapted to the soft layer shell, which has a first notch for exposing the button mounting area and a second notch for exposing the side button mounting area, and the first notch and the second notch are connected. The edge of the first notch is provided with a first flange adapted to the depth of the first step surface, and the edge of the second notch is provided with a second flange adapted to the depth of the second step surface. The inner wall of the right side of the soft layer shell is provided with a first locking key that mates with multiple first grooves, and the inner wall of the left side is provided with a second locking key that mates with multiple second grooves. The soft layer shell is attached to the surface of the hard layer shell, and a detachable connection is formed by the first locking key engaging the first groove, the second locking key engaging the second groove, the inner wall of the first flange mates with the first step surface, and the inner wall of the second flange mates with the second step surface.

[0007] An adhesive layer is also provided between the hard shell layer and the soft shell layer.

[0008] The surface of the rigid shell is coated with an adhesive to form an bonding layer.

[0009] The left and right sides of the soft shell are provided with several grooves with a depth of 0.1-0.2mm, forming striped areas.

[0010] The rigid shell is injection molded from PC material, and the soft shell is injection molded from LSR material.

[0011] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The mouse shell includes a hard shell with holes on the top front forming a button mounting area and holes on the middle left side forming a side button mounting area for mounting the left, right, and scroll wheel buttons, as well as shortcut keys. The hard shell also houses mouse components and is used to mount the mouse base plate through the bottom opening. It also includes a soft shell covering and fixing to the surface of the hard shell, providing a flexible contact surface and improving mouse operating comfort. The right front of the hard shell has multiple first grooves spaced apart along the height direction, forming a first connecting area. The middle left side of the hard shell has multiple second grooves spaced apart along the length direction, forming a second connecting area, located above the side button mounting area. The designed first and second connecting areas serve both as weight-reducing areas during the injection molding of the hard shell, avoiding pore defects caused by excessive thickness in the corresponding first and second connecting areas, and as fixing nodes for the soft shell, ensuring the connection strength and stability of the soft shell. The button mounting area has a first stepped surface surrounding the hole, and the side button mounting area has a second stepped surface surrounding the hole. The first and second stepped surfaces are connected, meaning the button mounting area and side button mounting area are recessed relative to the surface of the rigid shell. The shape of the flexible shell is adapted to the rigid shell. The flexible shell has a first notch exposing the button mounting area and a second notch exposing the side button mounting area, and the first and second notches are connected. The edge of the first notch has a first flange adapted to the depth of the first stepped surface, and the edge of the second notch has a second flange adapted to the depth of the second stepped surface; that is, the first and second flanges are also connected. The inner wall of the right side of the flexible shell has a first locking key that mates with multiple first grooves, and the inner wall of the left side has a second locking key that mates with multiple second grooves. The soft shell is attached to the surface of the hard shell, and a detachable connection is formed by a first locking key engaging a first groove, a second locking key engaging a second groove, the inner wall of the first flange engaging a first step surface, and the inner wall of the second flange engaging a second step surface. The first locking key on the right side of the soft shell engages with the first connection area of ​​the hard shell to prevent the soft shell from flipping upwards, and the second locking key on the left side engages with the second connection area of ​​the hard shell to prevent the soft shell from sliding back and forth. The first flange engaging a first step surface and the second flange engaging a second step surface not only protects the step surface of the hard shell but also improves the connection stability of the hard shell on the hard shell.

[0013] 2. An adhesive layer is also provided between the hard shell and the soft shell, which can further improve the connection stability between the soft shell and the hard shell and reduce the risk of wrinkling of the soft shell.

[0014] 3. The left and right sides of the soft-layer shell are provided with several grooves with a depth of 0.1-0.2mm to form striped areas, which improves the anti-slip performance of the left and right sides of the soft-layer shell and improves the operability of the mouse shell.
