Wireless Mouse Charging Cable Storage for Continuous Use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless mice face power supply limitations due to battery exhaustion, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency, especially when users cannot timely replenish power during office work or meetings, and both dry cell and rechargeable battery solutions pose environmental concerns.
Innovation Solution
A wireless mouse design incorporating a charging cable that can be electrically connected to a power supply device, allowing on-the-spot charging of the battery through a wire-passing hole in the mouse body, with a flexible and magnetically connected charging interface for easy storage and use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wireless mouse uses battery power supply, then wireless communication function is achieved, but power exhaustion leads to interruption of use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a charging cable storage compartment within the mouse body, allowing users to pre-load the charging cable into the mouse before power exhaustion occurs. This preliminary preparation enables immediate recharging when battery depletes, preventing operational interruption and improving reliability while maintaining wireless communication capability.
2Use of energy by moving object
If users carry charging cable for rechargeable battery, then power replenishment is possible, but user convenience is reduced due to carrying additional items
Solution Approach 1:
The charging cable is nested within a storage compartment integrated into the mouse body structure. The cable can be inserted into and stored within the mouse, eliminating the need for separate cable carriers. This nesting approach allows users to carry only one device (the mouse) while having both the battery and charging cable available, significantly improving portability convenience while maintaining power replenishment capability.
3Device complexity
If dry cell battery is used, then simple power supply structure is achieved, but environmental pollution and replacement cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a rechargeable battery system with an integrated charging cable storage mechanism. Instead of discarding depleted dry cells, users can recharge the battery multiple times using the included charging cable. This recovering approach eliminates environmental pollution from battery waste while maintaining a relatively simple power supply structure, addressing both environmental and structural requirements.
