Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mouse pad technology, and in particular to a multi-layer structure mouse pad. Background Technology

[0002] A mouse pad is a flat pad used to support and move a mouse. Currently, mouse pads on the market are divided into hard and soft pads. Specifically, ordinary mouse pads have a traditional high-hardness rubber base. When you need to stop moving the mouse, the pad doesn't sink enough, resulting in poor accuracy and potentially causing the crosshair to overshoot and become inaccurate. If a low-hardness polyurethane foam is used as the base, the foam is too soft, and the downward pressure causes the mouse to sink too much, with the entire mouse shell participating in friction, affecting the mouse's movement speed and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layered mouse pad that combines mouse movement speed and accuracy, resulting in a better user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical means: This utility model provides a multi-layer mouse pad, including: a first support layer and a buffer layer, wherein the first support layer is disposed above the buffer layer, and the hardness of the first support layer is d1, the hardness of the buffer layer is d2, and d1 < d2.

[0006] Optionally, the hardness d2 of the buffer layer is 32~40 degrees, and the hardness d1 of the first support layer is 8~12 degrees.

[0007] Optionally, the thickness of the first support layer is L1, and the thickness of the buffer layer is L2. Where L1:L2=(0.32~0.8):1.

[0008] Optionally, the thickness of the first support layer is L1 = 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm, and the thickness of the buffer layer is L2 = 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

[0009] Optionally, a surface layer is provided above the support layer.

[0010] Optionally, a second support layer is provided below the buffer layer, and the hardness of the second support layer is d3, where d3=d1.

[0011] Optionally, the thickness of the second support layer is L3, where L1:L3 = (0.8~1.2):1.

[0012] Optionally, the surface layer is a textile fabric, the first support layer is ultra-soft polyurethane foam, the cushioning layer is hardened polyurethane foam, and the second support layer is ultra-soft polyurethane foam.

[0013] Optionally, it further includes three TPU hot melt adhesive layers, wherein a first TPU hot melt adhesive layer is disposed between the surface layer and the first support layer, a second TPU hot melt adhesive layer is disposed between the first support layer and the buffer layer, and a third TPU hot melt adhesive layer is disposed between the buffer layer and the second support layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model brings the following technical effects: This invention relates to a multi-layered mouse pad. By incorporating a buffer layer and a first support layer, the buffer layer's hardness is greater than that of the first support layer. When users prioritize mouse accuracy, they apply more pressure to the mouse, causing the first support layer to indent downwards. When the mouse contacts the buffer layer, the buffer layer supports the first support layer, preventing further vertical depression. Instead, the downward pressure is amplified by the buffer layer, increasing its surface area. This allows the first support layer to utilize the buffer layer's grooves to improve mouse accuracy while minimizing deformation to maintain mouse friction and ensure movement speed. Thus, the gradient hardness between the buffer and support layers satisfies both the user's needs for mouse movement speed and accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0020] In games, the mouse is used with frequent, rapid movements such as moving, stopping, lifting, and lowering, often occurring at millisecond intervals. Mouse movement speed and accuracy are crucial factors affecting user experience. For example, in FPS (first-person perspective) games, players need to frequently switch perspectives to locate targets, requiring rapid mouse movement. Simultaneously, players need to accurately describe targets, necessitating precise mouse movement.

[0021] Mouse movement speed is closely related to the hardness of the mousepad. A harder mousepad results in faster mouse movement but lower accuracy. Conversely, a softer mousepad results in slower movement but higher accuracy. Currently, mousepads are available in hard and soft versions. However, neither hard nor soft pads can fully satisfy the gaming experience.

[0022] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a multi-layer mouse pad, which consists of a surface layer 10, a first support layer 20, a buffer layer 30, and a second support layer 40 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0023] The first support layer 20 is disposed above the buffer layer 30, and the first support layer 20 and the buffer layer 30 form a hardness gradient from small to large. Specifically, the hardness of the first support layer 20 is d1, the hardness of the buffer layer 30 is d2, and d1 < d2.

[0024] This invention relates to a multi-layered mouse pad. By incorporating a buffer layer 30 and a first support layer 20, the buffer layer 30 has a higher hardness than the first support layer 20. When users prioritize mouse accuracy, they apply more pressure to the mouse, causing the first support layer 20 to indent downwards. When the mouse contacts the buffer layer 30, the buffer layer 30 supports the first support layer 20, preventing further vertical depression. Instead, the downward pressure is amplified by the buffer layer 30, increasing its surface area. This allows the first support layer 20 to utilize the grooves in the buffer layer 30 to improve mouse accuracy while minimizing deformation to maintain mouse friction and ensure movement speed. Thus, the gradient hardness between the buffer layer 30 and the first support layer 20 satisfies both the user's needs for mouse movement speed and accuracy.

[0025] The surface layer 10 is located above the first support layer 20. The second support layer 40 is located on the lower surface of the buffer layer 30. The second support is used for anti-slip and final cushioning of the desktop, further achieving soft contact, which provides both a good feel and noise reduction.

[0026] The user experience is related to the thickness and hardness of the first support layer 20 and the buffer layer 30. The thickness of the first support layer 20 is L1, and the thickness of the buffer layer 30 is L2, where L1:L2 = (0.32~0.8):1.

[0027] By adjusting the ratio of the thickness of the first support layer 20 to the thickness of the buffer layer 30, the feel of the mouse can be adjusted to meet the needs of different users.

[0028] Optionally, the thickness L1 of the first support layer 20 is 0.8mm to 1.2mm, for example, L1 is 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm or 1.2mm, and the thickness L2 of the buffer layer 30 is 1.5mm to 2.5mm, for example, L2 is 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 2mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm or 2.5mm.

[0029] Preferably, the first support layer 20 is 1mm thick, and currently, mouse feet are typically 1mm thick. This allows the buffer layer 30 to sink to a maximum depth of 1mm. The increased accuracy of movement due to the recessed mouse pad also prevents friction between the mouse feet, the mouse bottom shell, and the mouse pad. The mouse feet are circular objects glued to the mouse bottom shell and extending downwards from it. These mouse feet prevent friction between the mouse bottom and the mouse pad, thus extending the mouse's lifespan.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the hardness of the first support layer 20 is d1, and the thickness of the buffer layer 30 is d2. The hardness d2 of the buffer layer 30 is 32 to 40 degrees, for example, 32, 35, 36, 38, or 40 degrees. The hardness d1 of the first support layer 20 is 8 to 12 degrees, for example, the thickness d1 is 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 degrees. The hardness is measured using the Shore hardness test method, for example, using a Shore scale.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the hardness of the second support layer 40 is d3, where d3 = d1.

[0032] For example, when the hardness d1 of the first support layer 20 is 10 degrees, the hardness of the second support layer 40 is 10 degrees.

[0033] Furthermore, the thickness of the second support layer 40 is L3, where L1:L3 = (0.8~1.2):1.

[0034] For example, the thickness L3 of the second support layer 40 can be 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm or 1.4 mm.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the surface layer 10 is a textile fabric, the first support layer 20 is an ultra-soft polyurethane foam, the buffer layer 30 is a stiffened polyurethane foam, and the second support layer 40 is an ultra-soft polyurethane foam.

[0036] The surface layer 10 is made of textile fabric, which is soft and comfortable to the touch, has moderate friction, and protects the first support layer 20. The ultra-soft polyurethane foam combines flexibility and elasticity, allowing it to indent when pressed by a mouse and recover its elastic deformation in a free state. The stiffened polyurethane foam also possesses some flexibility and elasticity, but compared to the ultra-soft polyurethane foam, it has less elasticity and greater stiffness, providing support for the ultra-soft polyurethane foam.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the multi-layer mouse pad further includes three TPU hot melt adhesive layers 50. The first TPU hot melt adhesive layer 50 is disposed between the surface layer 10 and the first support layer 20. The second TPU hot melt adhesive layer 50 is disposed between the first support layer 20 and the buffer layer 30. The third TPU hot melt adhesive layer 50 is disposed between the buffer layer 30 and the second support layer 40.

[0038] In other words, the surface layer 10 is thermally fused to the first support layer 20, the first support layer 20 is thermally fused to the buffer layer 30, and the buffer layer 30 is thermally fused to the second support layer 40. Through thermal fusion bonding, the connection strength of each layer of the mouse pad is stable and reliable, resulting in a long service life.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
