Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional computer mice are heavy due to their structural design, leading to user discomfort and reduced operation accuracy over time.
Innovation Solution
A novel lightweight mouse design that integrates the circuit board directly into the housing, eliminating the bottom housing and incorporating an arc-shaped support part and convex edge, with a hollow structure for reduced weight and simplified production.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If traditional mouse structure with separate bottom housing is used, then structural stability is improved, but weight increases and causes hand fatigue
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the bottom housing from the traditional mouse structure, extracting only the essential components (housing, circuit board, buttons, support part) needed for functionality. This extraction eliminates unnecessary weight while maintaining structural stability through the integrated design of the remaining components.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board is directly integrated with the housing, eliminating the need for separate mounting structures and bottom housing. The support part is merged into the housing structure, creating a unified lightweight assembly that maintains stability through strategic structural design rather than additional components.
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional mouse structure with bottom housing is used, then structural support is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bottom housing is extracted from the structure, simplifying the overall design to only include essential components. This reduction in parts directly lowers device complexity while the support part provides necessary structural support through optimized geometry rather than additional components.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions are merged into fewer components: the housing provides both structural support and mounting for the circuit board, while the support part integrates structural and ergonomic functions. This merging reduces the number of parts and simplifies the overall structure.
3Strength
If traditional mouse structure with bottom housing is used, then structural integrity is improved, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By removing the bottom housing, the patent reduces the number of parts that need to be manufactured, assembled, and quality-checked. This extraction simplifies the production process and reduces costs while the remaining structure maintains integrity through optimized design of essential components.
Solution Approach 2:
The integration of the circuit board with the housing and the merging of structural and functional components reduces assembly steps and manufacturing complexity. Fewer parts mean fewer assembly operations, reduced quality control checkpoints, and lower production costs while maintaining structural integrity.
