[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] See Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a ring-shaped mouse remote control, including a ring-shaped body, which includes a shell 1. The lower end of the shell 1 is provided with elastic arc-shaped clamps 2 on both sides. The upper end of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to a top cover 3. Both ends of the top cover 3 are provided with pressable button plates 5. One side wall of the shell 1 is provided with a pressable side button 6. A round hole 16 is opened in the middle of the top cover 3, and a ball 4 is fitted in the round hole 16. A support plate 7 for supporting the ball 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the inside of the shell 1.

[0028] As an optional implementation, a main control chip circuit board 8 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. Microswitches 11, adapted to the button panel 5, are fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper surface of the main control chip circuit board 8. An optical imaging IC component 10, adapted to the lower side of the rolling ball 4, is fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper surface of the main control chip circuit board 8. A microswitch 2 12, adapted to abut against the bottom surface of the tray 7, is fixedly mounted on one side of the upper surface of the main control chip circuit board 8. A microswitch 3 17, adapted to abut against the inner side of the side button 6, is fixedly mounted at one end of the bottom surface of the main control chip circuit board 8. When the rolling ball 4 rolls, the image of the spherical surface in the optical imaging IC component 10 changes. The optical imaging IC component 10 determines the rolling direction and speed of the ball 4 by observing the changes in the imaging direction and speed. Based on the rolling direction and speed of the ball 4, it controls the movement direction and speed of the computer cursor on the screen. Simultaneously, pressing the ball 4 causes the tray 7 to rotate slightly downwards, causing the bottom surface of the tray 7 to press against the movable part of the micro switch 12, thus achieving a click operation. The index finger and thumb can press the button plate 5 or the side button 6 as needed. The button plate 5 abuts against the movable part of the micro switch 11 through the lower end of the pressure rod 22, and the side button 6 abuts against the movable part of the micro switch 17 through its internal side wall, thus completing the click operation.

[0029] Reference Figure 4-5 As shown, both ends of the top cover 3 are provided with grooves 19 that are adapted to the button plate 5. The end of the button plate 5 is connected to the groove 19 through an elastic connecting strip 21. A through groove 20 is provided in the middle of the groove 19. A pressure rod 22 sleeved in the through groove 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the button plate 5, and the lower end of the pressure rod 22 abuts against the movable part of the micro switch 11. The elastic connecting strip 21 can make the button plate 5 have the effect of rebounding and resetting after being pressed slightly. After pressing the button plate 5, the button plate 5 can be clicked by contacting the movable part of the micro switch 11 through the pressure rod 22. One of the button plates 5 is a function switching key, and the other button plate 5 can be set as the right mouse button or defined as other button functions.

[0030] Reference Figure 2As shown, the tray 7 has an arc-shaped groove 15 in the middle that matches the rolling ball 4, and a light-transmitting groove is formed at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 15 that passes through the tray 7. The light-transmitting groove matches the optical imaging IC component 10. The diameter of the circular hole 16 is smaller than the diameter of the rolling ball 4. The rolling ball 4 rotates between the arc-shaped groove 15 and the circular hole 16. At the same time, the LED light source area on the optical imaging IC component 10 emits light through the light-transmitting groove and illuminates the lower surface of the rolling ball 4, which is then reflected back to the IC imaging area to form an image. When the rolling ball 4 rolls, the spherical surface forms an image in the optical imaging IC component 10. The optical imaging IC component 10 determines the rolling direction and speed of the ball 4 by observing the changes in the imaging direction and speed. Based on the rolling direction and speed of the ball 4, it controls the movement direction and speed of the computer cursor on the screen. Both the arc-shaped groove 15 and the surface of the ball 4 can be made smooth to reduce the friction of the ball 4 during rolling. The small diameter of the circular hole 16 can effectively prevent the ball 4 from falling off between the tray 7 and the top cover 3. The LED light source area and the IC imaging area are both integrated on the upper surface of the optical imaging IC component 10, and the light path is in an inverted V shape.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a fixed shaft 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the tray 7, and two rotating collars 14 fitted with the fixed shaft 13 are fixedly connected to one end of the bottom surface of the upper cover 3. The fixed shaft 13 and the end of the tray 7 cooperate to form a movable groove 23, and one of the pressure rods 22 is located in the movable groove 23. By fitting the fixed shaft 13 with the two rotating collars 14, the tray 7 can be slightly rotated about the fixed shaft 13 when the tray 7 is pressed, so as to achieve the effect of lightly striking the micro switch 12 on the bottom surface of the tray 7.

[0032] As an optional implementation, a side button hole 18 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and the side button 6 is located in the side button hole 18. The side button 6 located inside the housing 1 has a large-head design, and the outer end of the side button hole 18 has a small-head design to prevent the side button 6 from moving out. By pressing the side button 6, it can be located on the side wall inside the housing 1 to squeeze the movable part of the micro switch 17, thereby realizing the click operation. The side button 6 can be set as the middle button of the mouse, or it can be defined as other button functions. By the fact that the outer diameter of the side button hole 18 is smaller than the inner diameter of the side button 6, the side button 6 can be prevented from falling out of the side button hole 18.

[0033] Specifically, a battery 9 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the main control chip circuit board 8, micro switch one 11, optical imaging IC component 10, micro switch two 12 and micro switch three 17 are all powered by the battery 9. The design of the battery 9 can ensure that the mouse maintains its performance while solving the core pain point of cable length constraints, making it especially suitable for multi-device users, e-sports players and travelers.

[0034] Reference Figure 3As shown, an L-shaped interface slot 24 is provided on the outer side of the housing 1. A charging interface 25 and a toggle switch 26 are installed on the vertical part of the L-shaped interface slot 24. The output end of the charging interface 25 is electrically connected to the input end of the battery 9, and the toggle switch 26 is electrically connected to the output end of the battery 9. A dust cover 27 is detachably installed in the L-shaped interface slot 24. A snap-fit ​​groove 29 is provided at the horizontal end of the L-shaped interface slot 24. A protrusion 28 that snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 29 is fixedly connected to the end of the dust cover 27. The dust cover 27 is L-shaped and made of silicone. By engaging with the snap-fit ​​groove 29 through the protrusion 28, the dust cover 27 can be prevented from falling off after being opened, thus avoiding the loss of the dust cover 27. The charging interface 25 can use common interfaces such as Type-C and Micro-USB to charge the battery 9. The toggle switch 26 can control the power on / off switch and the communication mode switching switch. The silicone dust cover 27 has a certain degree of deformation function after being opened, which is convenient for subsequent fastening.

[0035] Furthermore, the main control chip circuit board 8 is also equipped with low-power Bluetooth connectivity for controlling smart TVs, conference computers, and in-vehicle systems, making operation more convenient.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the elastic arc-shaped splint 2 is made of rubber or plastic. After the middle finger is placed between the two elastic arc-shaped splints 2, the two elastic arc-shaped splints 2 have an automatic clamping effect on the finger, and can be used by people with different finger sizes.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] When in use, the middle finger is placed between the two elastic arc-shaped clamps 2, and the rolling ball 4 is facing the palm side. When using the rolling ball 4, the thumb rubs back and forth, causing the rolling ball 4 to rotate between the arc-shaped groove 15 and the round hole 16. At the same time, the LED light source area on the optical imaging IC component 10 emits light through the light-transmitting groove and illuminates the lower surface of the rolling ball 4, which is reflected back to the IC imaging area to form an image. When the rolling ball 4 rolls, the image of the spherical surface in the optical imaging IC component 10 changes. The optical imaging IC component 10 determines the rolling direction and speed of the rolling ball 4 by the direction and speed of the image change, and thus controls the direction and speed of the computer cursor on the screen according to the rolling direction and speed of the rolling ball 4.

[0039] At the same time, pressing the ball 4 can drive the tray 7 to rotate slightly downwards, so that the bottom surface of the tray 7 presses the movable part of the micro switch 12 to realize the click operation;

[0040] The index finger and thumb can press the button plate 5 or the side button 6 as needed. The button plate 5 is pressed against the movable part of the micro switch 11 through the lower end of the pressure rod 22. The side button 6 is pressed against the movable part of the micro switch 3 17 through its internal side wall to complete the click operation.

[0041] The cursor on the screen is moved by scrolling the ball 4. Pressing the ball activates the confirmation button or the left mouse button (or can be customized to other functions). Scrolling can also be defined as the middle mouse wheel function. One button panel 5 is a function switch button, and the other button panel 5 can be set as the right mouse button or defined as other button functions. The side button 6 can be set as the middle mouse button or defined as other button functions.

[0042] After the button is clicked, the micro switch is triggered, causing the main control chip circuit board 2 to receive a signal, which is then encoded into the USB / HID protocol. The optical imaging IC component 10 collects the displacement data of the rolling ball 4, enabling the main control chip circuit board 2 to calculate the coordinates, which are then transmitted to the computer to move the cursor.

[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
