AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing mouse scroll wheel has a fixed degree of freedom, which cannot provide multiple levels of scrolling feel. It becomes loose after prolonged use, has a complex structure, is not easy to assemble, and affects stability and balance.

Method used

Rotating blocks are set on opposite sides of the roller and connected by a return spring. The elasticity of the rotating blocks is adjusted by a switching mechanism to simplify the structure, ensure synchronous rotation, and realize the switching between ratchet rolling and free rolling.

Benefits of technology

This reduces manufacturing and assembly difficulty, ensures the stability and balance of the roller encoder module, and simplifies structural design.

Claims

1. A roller encoding module, characterized in that, include: Base (1); Roller (2), which is rotatably mounted on the base (1), and the rotation of the roller (2) triggers the output signal of the encoding module; Rotating blocks (3), the rotating blocks (3) are provided on both sides of the roller (2), the rotating blocks (3) are rotatably mounted on the base (1), the rotating blocks (3) are provided with bosses (31) facing the side of the roller (2), and the two rotating blocks (3) are connected by a return spring (34); A switching mechanism (4) is installed on the base (1). The switching mechanism (4) includes a push rod (43). The bottom end of the push rod (43) is provided with a conical surface (433). The rotating block (3) abuts against the conical surface (433) under the action of the return spring (34). The push rod (43) can rise and fall relative to the base (1), thereby changing the width of the part of the conical surface (433) that contacts the rotating block (3), so as to drive the rotating block (3) to rotate and change the contact state between the boss (31) and the side of the roller (2).

2. The roller encoder module of claim 1, wherein, The boss (31) is disposed at one end of the rotating block (3), and the other end of the rotating block (3) is connected to the reset spring (34). The rotating block (3) is provided with a rotating hole (33), and the rotating block (3) is rotatably mounted on the base (1) by inserting a connector into the rotating hole (33) and the hole (132) of the base (1).

3. The roller encoder module of claim 2, wherein, A locking post (32) is provided at the opposite end of the rotating block (3), and the end of the return spring (34) is sleeved on the locking post (32).

4. The roller encoding module of any one of claims 1-3, wherein, The roller (2) has circumferentially arranged teeth (21) on its side surface, and grooves are formed between each tooth (21). When the boss (31) abuts against the side surface of the roller (2), the boss (31) contacts the tooth (21) and the groove, so that the roller (2) performs ratchet rolling.

5. The roller encoding module of any one of claims 1-3, wherein, The switching mechanism (4) further includes: a button (41) and a claw sleeve (42). The claw sleeve (42) is mounted on the base (1) corresponding to the push rod (43). The button (41) is slidably mounted inside the claw sleeve (42), with the top end of the button (41) exposed outside the base (1). The push rod (43) is slidably connected inside the claw sleeve (42), and the top end of the push rod (43) is positioned facing the button (41). A first elastic element (413) is provided between the button (41) and the push rod (43). The push rod (43) is provided with a locking tooth (432) on its periphery and a second elastic element (43) that abuts against the rotating block (3). 4) The claw sleeve (42) is provided with a first slot (421) and a second slot (422) corresponding to the locking tooth (432). The first slot (421) and the second slot (422) are different in length. When the button (41) drives the push rod (43) through the first elastic element (413), the locking tooth (432) switches between the first slot (421) and the second slot (422) under the action of the second elastic element (434) to change the position of the push rod (43), thereby changing the width of the part of the cone surface (433) that connects with the rotating block (3), and thus driving the rotating block (3) to rotate.

6. The roller encoder module of claim 5, wherein, The bottom end of the button (41) is provided with a drive tooth (411), and the top end of the push rod (43) is provided with a force-receiving tooth (431) corresponding to the drive tooth (411). When the button (41) drives the push rod (43) through the first elastic element (413), the drive tooth (411) abuts against the force-receiving tooth (431) to make the push rod (43) rotate, thereby driving the locking tooth (432) to switch between the first locking groove (421) and the second locking groove (422).

7. The roller encoder module of claim 5, wherein, The inner wall of the claw sleeve (42) is provided with a sliding groove (423), and a slider (412) is provided on the periphery of the button (41) corresponding to the sliding groove (423). The button (41) is slidably mounted in the claw sleeve (42) by sliding the slider (412) into the sliding groove (423).

8. The roller encoder module of claim 5, wherein, The push rod (43) has a mounting cavity (430) at its top end, and a portion of the first elastic element (413) is located in the mounting cavity (430).
