Therefore, a mouse with a waterproof design is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mouse with a waterproof structure. The waterproof shell forms a sealed protective space to isolate and protect the circuit board. In conjunction with the guide plate, water outlet and guide channel, the seepage liquid is quickly discharged, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A mouse with a waterproof structure includes a bottom shell, a circuit board mounted on the upper part of the bottom shell, and a waterproof structure provided in the middle of the bottom shell corresponding to the circuit board.

[0007] The waterproof structure includes a waterproof shell installed on the upper part of the bottom shell. The waterproof shell covers the upper part of the circuit board and forms a sealed protective space. A guide plate is installed on the upper surface of the waterproof shell. A water outlet is opened at the middle part of the bottom shell at the end of the guide plate. Several sets of guide grooves are symmetrically opened in the middle part of the bottom shell corresponding to the water outlet. The end of each set of guide grooves is connected to the water outlet.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides: a mouse with a waterproof structure, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the mouse includes a bottom shell 1, a circuit board 2 mounted on the upper part of the bottom shell 1, and a waterproof structure 3 located in the middle of the bottom shell 1 corresponding to the circuit board 2. The bottom shell 1 provides mounting support and fixing space for the circuit board 2 and the waterproof structure 3, serving as a basic protection for the internal components. The circuit board 2 is the core component of the mouse that performs signal processing and command transmission. The waterproof structure 3, located in the middle of the bottom shell 1 corresponding to the circuit board 2, is used to achieve the mouse's waterproof function.

[0023] The waterproof structure 3 includes a waterproof shell 31 installed on the upper part of the bottom shell 1. The waterproof shell 31 covers the upper part of the circuit board 2 and forms a sealed protective space. A guide plate 32 is installed on the upper surface of the waterproof shell 31. A water outlet 33 is opened in the middle of the bottom shell 1 at the end of the guide plate 32. Several sets of guide grooves 34 are symmetrically opened in the middle of the bottom shell 1 corresponding to the water outlet 33. The end of each set of guide grooves 34 is connected to the water outlet 33. The waterproof shell 31 is used to cover the upper part of the circuit board 2 and form a sealed protective space, physically isolating the direct contact between external liquids and the circuit board 2. The guide plate 32 is installed on the upper surface of the waterproof shell 31, and its main function is to guide liquids that accidentally enter the mouse and direct the liquids to a specific direction. The water outlet 33 is opened in the middle of the bottom shell 1 and at the end of the guide plate 32 to discharge liquids out of the mouse. The flow channels 34 are symmetrically located in the middle of the bottom shell 1, corresponding to the outlets 33. Each end of the channel is connected to the outlet 33, ensuring that the liquid can flow precisely to the outlet 33. Through the synergistic effect of "waterproof shell 31 sealing and blocking, flow guide plate 32 guiding, flow channel 34 collecting and outlet 33 discharging", a dual waterproof mechanism combining active diversion and passive sealing is formed. This not only prevents liquid from contacting the circuit board 2, but also quickly discharges liquid that has entered the interior, avoiding liquid accumulation and damage to components.

[0024] Preferably, a sealing ring 35 is provided at the connection between the waterproof shell 31 and the bottom shell 1, and the sealing ring 35 is arranged circumferentially along the bottom edge of the waterproof shell 31. The sealing ring 35 is used to fill the gap at the connection between the waterproof shell 31 and the bottom shell 1. When this component is used in conjunction with the waterproof shell 31 and the bottom shell 1, the elastic deformation characteristics of the sealing ring 35 are used to eliminate any gaps that may exist when the three are connected, further enhancing the sealing performance between the waterproof shell 31 and the bottom shell 1, and ensuring that the sealed protective space formed by the waterproof shell 31 will not leak liquid due to the connection gap.

[0025] Furthermore, several sets of mounting brackets 4 are installed on the upper surface of the bottom shell 1, and the circuit board 2 is detachably connected to the mounting brackets 4 by bolts. The mounting brackets 4 provide mounting support points for the circuit board 2 and, together with the bolts, fix the circuit board 2. First, the mounting brackets 4 are stably fixed on the bottom shell 1, and then the circuit board 2 is placed on the mounting brackets 4 and tightened with bolts to keep the circuit board 2 in a stable position on the upper part of the bottom shell 1. This prevents the circuit board 2 from shifting or loosening due to vibration during mouse use, ensuring the stability of its connection with other components. At the same time, the detachable design also facilitates the subsequent repair and replacement of the circuit board 2.

[0026] Furthermore, a scroll wheel mechanism 5 is installed on the upper part of the bottom shell 1. A housing 6 covers the scroll wheel mechanism 5, and the outer wall of the housing 6 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the bottom shell 1. The scroll wheel mechanism 5, mounted on the upper part of the bottom shell 1, is the core component for the mouse's scrolling control function, responsible for converting the user's scrolling actions into signals that are transmitted to the circuit board 2. The housing 6 covers the scroll wheel mechanism 5, and its outer wall is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the bottom shell 1. Its main function is to protect the scroll wheel mechanism 5, while also forming part of the mouse's external structure in conjunction with the bottom shell 1, reducing the possibility of liquid entering the scroll wheel mechanism 5 and its internal components, and ensuring the normal operation of the scroll wheel mechanism 5 and its internal parts.

[0027] It is worth noting that a receiving groove 7 is provided in the middle of the outer shell 6 corresponding to the roller mechanism 5, and a guide arc surface 8 is provided on the side of the outer shell 6 near the outlet 33. The receiving groove 7 is located in the middle of the outer shell 6 and corresponds to the roller mechanism 5. Its function is to provide installation and movement space for the roller mechanism 5, ensuring that the roller mechanism 5 can roll normally inside the outer shell 6 without interfering with the outer shell 6. The guide arc surface 8 is located on the side of the outer shell 6 near the outlet 33. Its main function is to guide liquid that accidentally comes into contact with the outer shell 6, using the arc surface structure to guide the liquid towards the outlet 33. When liquid splashes onto the surface of the outer shell 6, the guide arc surface 8 on the side near the outlet 33 will guide the liquid along the arc surface to the guide groove 34 or the outlet 33 of the bottom shell 1, accelerating the liquid discharge and helping to improve the waterproof and liquid-repellent effect of the mouse.

[0028] Specifically, a top shell 9 covers the upper part of the bottom shell 1, and a through slot 10 is provided in the middle of the top shell 9 corresponding to the scroll wheel mechanism 5. The top shell 9 covers the upper part of the bottom shell 1 and is the top outer shell of the mouse. Together with the bottom shell 1, it forms the complete outer shell structure of the mouse, which protects all internal components, shapes the appearance of the mouse, and protects the internal components from external impacts and foreign object intrusion. The through slot 10 is located in the middle of the top shell 9 and corresponds to the scroll wheel mechanism 5. Its function is to provide exposed space for the scroll wheel mechanism 5, ensuring that the user can access and operate the scroll wheel mechanism 5 without affecting the normal use of the scroll wheel function.

[0029] More specifically, the top shell 9 has several sets of water-permeable holes 11 in the middle corresponding to the guide plate 32, and these holes are arranged in an array. The water-permeable holes 11, located in the middle of the top shell 9 and corresponding to the guide plate 32, are arranged in an array and their core function is to provide a downward permeation channel for liquids accidentally spilled onto the surface of the top shell 9. When liquid spills onto the top shell 9, the arrayed water-permeable holes 11 quickly collect the liquid and guide it to the corresponding guide plate 32 below. The guide plate 32 then directs the liquid to the guide channel 34 and the outlet 33 for discharge, forming a complete drainage path. This further enhances the mouse's active drainage and waterproofing capabilities, complementing the passive sealing of the waterproof shell 31, jointly improving the mouse's waterproof performance, ensuring the safety of the circuit board 2, and extending the mouse's lifespan.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
