The present invention is mainly characterized in that a roller which is used for controlling the movement of a Z axis is additionally arranged on the upper surface of the mouse and an optical encoder which is driven by an association gear and a belt. The displacement of the Z axis is controlled by the corotation and the rollback of the roller, a micro switch is arranged below the roller, the main body of the mouse is swung in a right and left way in the state that the roller is pressed, and the rolling action of the Z axis is formed. Rolling keys of an X axis and the Y axis are arranged at one side of the mouse to provide the rolling effects of the X axis and the Y axis. The mouse can provide the functions of the movement of three dimensional coordinates and the rolling of each coordinate axis.

Description

The three-dimensional hybrid mouse device

The present invention relates to a kind of three-dimensional hybrid mouse device.

Existing Genius mouse (MOUSE), also be referred to as index input device, be mainly a kind of can be by Genius mouse in X, when the Y-axis surface is mobile, the vernier (CUSOR) of computer screen is moved, reach release keyboard (KEYBOARD) directionkeys and push the comparatively shortcoming of inconvenience, so Genius mouse promptly has the gesture of generally employing, and on the general structure of conventional mouse device, can cooperate referring to shown in Figure 1, for showing an optical mouse device 10, but these optical mouse devices 10 promptly are formed with optical detector 16 respectively with sensing moving direction and amount of movement at its bottom surface front and back position, and a surperficial thereon end position is provided with two or three function buttons 18,20,22, to start the function that software is given, (as cancellation, carry out ... etc. function), and this optical mice 10 has on the rectangle backing plate 12 of grid 14 for being placed on a surface distributed, by our hand grips optical mouse device 10 in the scope of this backing plate 12 when mobile, can be by the light emission and the light-receiving effect of two optical detectors 16 of optical mouse device 10 bottom surfaces, detect by grid 14 quantity on backing plate 12 surfaces and corresponding to X, Building Y target moving direction reaches and makes computer screen vernier do moving of respective direction.

Above-mentioned is example with the optical mouse device only, in fact Genius mouse also has so-called half optical mouse device or trace ball (TRACK BALL), they are only different for the sensing structure, all be all on the right function and make vernier produce moving of X, Y direction, only these only have under the moving effect of X, y-axis shift, under the demand for the mobile or rolling of three dimensions article X, Y, Z axle now, these conventional mouse devices promptly can't be suitable for, as giving improved necessity.

Fundamental purpose of the present invention is: a kind of three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is provided, it is promptly with the axial sensing structure of X, Y, Z three, more can cooperate several scroll button, reach each axial rolling of control, reach and to meet the use needs that three dimensions now moves.

The invention provides a kind of three-dimensional hybrid mouse device, be a kind of three function buttons that form above body, the bottom surface forms two groups of optical detectors, to provide X, Y-axis to moving sensing, it is characterized in that:

Have a Z shaft roller in Genius mouse front end top position, it can do the rotation of fore-and-aft direction, and inside is connected on the circuit board through gear, belt;

Have a circuit board, it is provided with one group of Z axle inductor of forming with optical encoder and two groups of light transceivers, is provided with belt pulley in the axle center of this optical encoder, with aforementioned belt fit with Z shaft roller interlock; And

Have two scroll button, can cooperate aforementioned roller to stir, reach X, Y-axis to rolling in the Genius mouse sidewall locations; The Genius mouse that the above-mentioned structure of mat provides three dimensions to move and rolls.

Aforesaid three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is characterized in that: this roller is that a side is formed with internal tooth, can cooperate with the brace table that a cross section takes the shape of the letter U, and is formed with pinion wheel and belt pulley inside and outside brace table one side, rotates but the mat roller forms the belt pulley that drives brace table.

Aforesaid three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is characterized in that: these roller both sides combine with bogie side frame more respectively, and bogie side frame below is formed with the spring that can go up the top roller, so that roller is suspended state, and provide one to press down stroke and change.

Aforesaid three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is characterized in that: this brace table below be to should having one to start the microswitch of Z axle rolling function, but when the mat roller presses down, can press this microswitch.

Aforesaid three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is characterized in that: wherein correspond respectively to the body inboard and correspond respectively to this two scroll button position and be provided with each other keyswitch.

Aforesaid three-dimensional hybrid mouse device is characterized in that: body is for constituting with upper and lower two-tier circuit plate.

Effect of the present invention is for providing a kind of except having X, outside the Y-axis displacement sensing structure, more have a roller concurrently on the Genius mouse surface, to provide the Z axle to move, and be provided with one at this roller inner bottom part and trigger the microswitch that the Z axle rolls, and be provided with two at slide-mouse body sidewall and be respectively X, the Y-axis scroll button, but mat presses down this roller and cooperates the left side of Genius mouse body, right swing, with control Z axle rolling operation, and push X or Y-axis scroll button, and aforementioned roller is stirred in cooperation, can reach X respectively, the Y-axis rolling function constitutes a kind of three-dimensional hybrid mouse device that three-dimensional coordinate control and subject matter can roll according to each axes of coordinates of implementing.
