Wireless Mouse Receiver Storage Groove Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless mice with storage structures for wireless receivers either accumulate dust or have complex, fragile designs that reduce their service life.
Innovation Solution
A wireless mouse design featuring a base with a top cover that includes a groove defining member forming a positioning groove for securely holding the receiver, eliminating the need for pivoted structures and simplifying the manufacturing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an open chamber receptacle is used to store the wireless receiver, then the receiver can be easily inserted, but dust accumulates in the receptacle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a cover that can be pivoted to open or close the receptacle opening. This flexible closure mechanism allows the receptacle to remain enclosed when not in use, preventing dust accumulation, while easily opening when needed for insertion or removal of the wireless receiver.
2Ease of operation
If a pivoted receptacle is used to allow opening the shell for storage, then the receiver can be stored, but the structure becomes complicated and the pivotal construction may break easily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the housing into separate components: a main body and a pivoted cover portion. This segmentation allows the cover to be independently opened for access while the main structure remains simple and robust, reducing overall structural complexity and the risk of breakage.
3Ease of operation
If a pivoted receptacle is used to allow opening the shell for storage, then the receiver can be stored, but the pivotal construction may break easily reducing service life
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the pivoted cover with sufficient structural thickness and reinforces the pivotal connection area to prevent breakage from repeated use. This beforehand cushioning approach ensures the pivotal construction maintains reliability and service life despite frequent opening and closing operations.

AI summary
A wireless mouse includes a base having a top surface defining a button region and a non-button region, and a top cover including a cover body that separably covers the top surface of the base. The cover body has an inner surface facing the non-button region of the top surface and an integrally formed groove defining member extending from the inner surface into a space disposed between the cover body and the top surface of the base. The groove defining member cooperates with the inner surface of the cover body to define a positioning groove that is open to the space between the cover body and the top surface of the base into which a wireless receiver is received and releasably retained.
