Description

Technical Field

[0001] This case relates to a mouse, and more particularly to a mouse in which the button cover can be quickly detached from the body. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, the button covers of mice on the market are fixed to the body with screws, and then the top cover is fixed to the body. Therefore, when the internal components of the mouse, such as the microswitches, malfunction or the user has specific preferences, such as pressing force, audible operation or silent operation, the top cover must be removed and the screws removed before the corresponding components can be replaced, resulting in poor replacement efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a mouse whose button covers can be quickly removed from the body, thereby improving component replacement efficiency.

[0004] A mouse according to this invention includes a body and at least one button cover. The body includes a receiving groove and a first engaging portion. The first engaging portion is adjacent to the receiving groove and is a groove extending along a first direction. The at least one button cover is adapted to be detachably disposed on the body and includes a cover body and a second engaging portion. The second engaging portion extends from one end of the cover body toward the body along the first direction and corresponds to the first engaging portion. When the at least one button cover is adapted to be assembled to the body along the first direction, the second engaging portion extends into the first engaging portion and the body body and is adapted to engage with the first engaging portion in a second direction, thereby fixing the at least one button cover to the body. The first direction is different from the second direction.

[0005] Based on the above, the mouse of this invention includes a main body and a button cover. When the button cover is assembled to the main body in the first direction, the button cover engages with the first engaging portion of the main body in the second direction via a second engaging portion, thus securing it to the main body. Furthermore, the user can release the engagement between the first and second engaging portions by applying force in the opposite direction to the first direction, thereby removing the button cover from the main body. Accordingly, the button cover of the mouse of this invention can be quickly detached from the main body, improving component replacement efficiency.

[0006] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this case more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are provided below, along with detailed descriptions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a mouse according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of some components of a mouse. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A diagram showing the button cover at another angle. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of part of the main body from another angle. It should be noted that... Figure 3 by Figure 1 The left button cover 120 is shown for illustration; the main difference between the right button cover 120 and the left one is a slight variation in appearance. Please refer to the image. Figures 1 to 4 The mouse 100 of this embodiment includes a body 110 and at least one button cover 120 (two are shown). The body 110 includes a first engaging portion 111 (shown in...). Figure 4 The first engaging portion 111 is adjacent to the accommodating groove 112 and is a groove extending along a first direction D1. Each button cover 120 is adapted to be detachably disposed on the body 110 and includes a cover body 121 and a second engaging portion 122. The cover body 121 is adapted to be disposed correspondingly in the accommodating groove 112. The second engaging portion 122 extends from one end of the cover body 121 toward the body 110 along the first direction D1. The second engaging portion 122 corresponds to the first engaging portion 111. When each button cover 120 is assembled to the body 110 along the first direction D1, the second engaging portion 122 extends into the first engaging portion 111 and the body 110 and is adapted to engage with the first engaging portion 111 along the second direction D2, thereby fixing each button cover 120 to the body 110, where the first direction D1 is different from the second direction D2.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that when the button cover 120 is assembled to the body 110 along the first direction D1, the button cover 120 engages with the first engagement portion 111 of the body 110 in the second direction D2 via the second engagement portion 122, and is thus fixed to the body 110. Furthermore, the user can release the engagement between the first engagement portion 111 and the second engagement portion 122 by applying force in a direction opposite to the first direction D1, thereby allowing the button cover 120 to be removed from the body 110. Accordingly, the button cover 120 of the mouse 100 in this embodiment can be quickly installed and removed from the body 110, thereby improving component replacement efficiency.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first engaging portion 111 has a through hole 1111 extending along the second direction D2, and the second engaging portion 122 includes a spring 1221 and an engaging ball 1222. The spring 1221 pushes the engaging ball 1222 along the second direction D2, so that the engaging ball 1222 is adapted to extend into the through hole 1111 along the second direction D2, thereby fixing the button cover 120 to the body 110.

[0036] Furthermore, during the process of removing the button cover 120 from the body 110, the locking ball 1222 will retract in a direction opposite to the second direction D2, thereby disengaging the second locking part 122 from the first locking part 111, and thus allowing the button cover 120 to be removed from the body 110.

[0037] In this embodiment, the locking ball 1222 is made of metal and the through hole 1111 is a metal hole, which can improve wear resistance and the number of uses. However, this application does not limit the material of the locking ball 1222 and the through hole 1111.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 The second engaging portion 122 further includes a first limiting portion 1223, a second limiting portion 1224, and a third limiting portion 1225. When each button cover 120 is disposed on the body 110, the first limiting portion 1223 restricts the corresponding button cover 120 from moving toward the body 110 along the first direction D1. The second limiting portion 1224 restricts the corresponding button cover 120 from moving relative to the body 110 along the third direction D3, which is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The third limiting portion 1225 restricts the corresponding button cover 120 from moving relative to the body 110 along the second direction D2. Accordingly, the button cover 120 can be securely fixed to the body 110.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mouse 100 also includes a micro switch 130, which is disposed on the body 110 and located between the body 110 and the button cover 120. Specifically, the button cover 120 also includes a pressing part 123, located at the other end of the cover 121, and the micro switch 130 is located between the body 110 and the pressing part 123. When the user presses the button cover 120, the end of the button cover 120 away from the second engaging part 122 moves downward, causing the pressing part 123 to trigger the micro switch 130.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 The pressing part 123 is adapted to be located in the receiving groove 112. Accordingly, the button cover 120 of the mouse 100 of this embodiment can be further limited, so that the button cover 120 can be more securely fixed to the body 110.

[0041] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the button cover of a mouse according to another embodiment of this case. Please refer to... Figure 5The difference between the mouse 100a in this embodiment and the mouse 100 in the above embodiment is that the second engaging portion 122 of the button cover 120a includes an elastic arm 1226 and a protrusion 1227, but does not include a spring 1221 and a engaging ball 1222. The elastic arm 1226 is located between the cover 121 and the protrusion 1227, and the protrusion 1227 is adapted to extend into the through hole 1111 along the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the elastic arm 1226 and the protrusion 1227 are, for example, both made of plastic, which can further reduce the overall cost of the mouse 100a. Figure 5 The remaining configuration and operation of the button cover 120a in the illustrated embodiment are the same as or similar to those of the button cover 120 in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0042] In summary, the mouse of this invention includes a main body and a button cover. When the button cover is assembled to the main body in a first direction, the button cover engages with the first engaging portion of the main body in a second direction via a second engaging portion, thus securing it to the main body. Furthermore, the user can release the engagement between the first and second engaging portions by applying force in the opposite direction to the first direction, thereby allowing the button cover to be removed from the main body. Accordingly, the button cover of the mouse of this invention can be quickly detached from the main body, improving component replacement efficiency.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this case, and not to limit them; although this case has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this case.
