Description

Roller control mechanism and mouse device thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a mechanism of an input device, and more particularly, to a control mechanism of a mouse device.
Background
The mouse is used for controlling a cursor on a computer screen and operating the computer. After the first mouse around the world was manufactured from the united states in 1968, the mouse has become an integral part of computer equipment, whether it be text processing, game contests, industrial drawing, design drawing or media production.
Generally, an operation interface of the mouse includes: left and right keys and a wheel. In order to improve the convenience and comfort of the mouse roller during operation, in the prior art, for example, in taiwan patent publication No. I448928, a roller module of an input device is proposed, in which one to two different toothed surfaces are disposed in a groove or a hollow groove of the roller, and then one of the toothed surfaces is touched by a swing arm, so that different paragraph sensations are generated when the roller rotates; or, as in taiwan patent publication No. M498914, a shuttle roller module of a mouse is proposed, in which a toothed portion and a resisting rod are disposed in the roller device, and the resisting rod is elastically pressed against the toothed portion by a torsion spring, so that a user can operate a button member linked with the resisting rod to switch the roller between a fast shuttle mode and a normal roller mode.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the conventional art uses a contact type interference method to make the roller generate more sections, but the rotation mode of the roller cannot be switched in real time.

This invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, such embodiments are provided to enable those skilled in the art to more fully and fully convey the scope of the invention.
First, please refer to fig. 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D.

The roller control mechanism RS includes: the device comprises a support base 10, a roller module 20, a first magnetic force module 30, a second magnetic force module 40, a driving module 50 and a rotating speed detecting unit 60.
The support base 10 has a first support portion 11, a second support portion 12, a third support portion 13, a fourth support portion 14 and two fixing portions 15, wherein the roller module 20, the first magnetic module 30, the second magnetic module 40 and the driving module 50 are sequentially mounted on the first support portion 11, the second support portion 12, the third support portion 13 and the fourth support portion 14.
Referring to fig. 1C, the first supporting portion 11 has a recess 111 and two first pivot holes 112 disposed opposite to each other on a sidewall of the recess 111. The roller module 20 includes a roller body 21 and a metal ratchet 22, wherein the roller body 21 has a rotating shaft 211, and the metal ratchet 22 is disposed on one side of the roller body 21 and connected to the rotating shaft 211 to rotate synchronously with the roller body 21. The groove 111 is used for accommodating a portion of the roller module 20, and the roller module 20 is sleeved in the first pivot hole 112 by the rotating shaft 211, so that the roller module 20 is rotatably disposed on the first supporting portion 11. On the other hand, the rotation speed detecting unit 60 is disposed at the other side of the roller body 21 with respect to the metal ratchet 22. The rotation speed detecting unit 60 is used for detecting the rotation speed of the roller body 21 and outputting a corresponding control signal. In the present embodiment, the metal ratchet 22 has a ring gear structure 221 at the side edge, and the ring gear structure 221 includes a plurality of protruding portions 2211 and a plurality of recessed portions 2212 that are staggered.
The second support 12 has a mounting groove 121 and a cover plate 122 for covering the mounting groove 121. The mounting groove 121 is used for accommodating the first magnetic module 30, and one side of the cover plate 122 is provided with a notch 1221.
The first magnetic module 30 includes a first magnetic element 31 and two magnetic conductive elements 32, 33. The first magnetic element 31 has an N pole end 311 and an S pole end 312. The two magnetic conductive elements 32 and 33 have opposite first ends 321 and 331 and second ends 322 and 332, respectively, and the first ends 321 and 331 have claw structures 3211 and 3311, respectively; a replacement pitch G is formed between the second ends 322, 332.
The first magnetic element 31 is disposed between the two magnetic conductive members 31 and 32, so that the magnetic conductive members 31 and 32 can induce the magnetic field of the first magnetic element 31. In the present embodiment, the N pole 311 of the first magnetic element 31 is abutted against the magnetic conductive element 32; the S-pole end 312 of the first magnetic element 31 is abutted against the magnetic conductive element 33. In the present embodiment, the first magnetic element 31 is a strong magnet, and the two magnetic conductive elements 32 and 33 are silicon steel sheets.
When the first magnetic module 30 is disposed in the mounting groove 121, the first ends 321, 331 of the two magnetic conductive elements 31, 32 penetrate the mounting groove 121 and are close to the side edges of the metal ratchet 22, and the claw structures 3211, 3311 correspond to the protrusions 2211 on the ring gear structure 221. On the other hand, when the cover 122 is covered on the mounting groove 121, the recess 1221 corresponds to the replacement pitch G between the second ends 322, 332. In the present embodiment, although only the two claw structures of the claw structures 3211, 3311 are provided and may correspond to the two adjacent protruding portions 2211 on the ring gear structure 221, in practical application, the claw structures 3211, 3311 may be designed as multi-claw structures that are expanded to two sides and may correspond to more than two protruding portions 2211, so as to enhance the magnetic attraction force of the first ends 321, 331, and not limited to the embodiment provided in the present embodiment.
The third supporting portion 13 is disposed on the same side of the first magnetic module 30, and has a supporting member 131 protruding outwards and a recess 132 recessed inwards (as shown in fig. 1D). The support 131 may be a lug structure with two second pivot holes 1311 disposed opposite each other.
The second magnetic module 40 includes: an adjusting element 41, a swinging element 42, a second magnetic element 43 and a third magnetic element 44. The adjusting element 41 includes a shaft 411 and an adjusting portion 412 coupled to one end of the shaft 411, and the swinging element 42 is coupled to the other end of the shaft 411 opposite to the coupling adjusting portion 412 in the radial direction, so that the adjusting portion 412 can drive the swinging element 422 to swing via the shaft 411. In the present embodiment, the adjusting portion 412 is an adjusting gear having a tooth portion; the swinging element 42 has a V-shaped rod structure, and two rod end portions 421 and 422 far from the joint shaft portion 411 are respectively provided with two mounting holes 4211 and 4222 equidistant from the shaft portion 411. In the present embodiment, only the implementation of the V-shaped bar structure of the swinging element 42 is provided, but in practical application, the swinging element 42 may also have a fan-shaped structure, which is not limited to the implementation provided in the present embodiment.
The second magnetic element 43 and the third magnetic element 44 are respectively mounted in the mounting holes 4211 and 4222, so that the second magnetic element 43 and the third magnetic element 44 are located on the same swing path. In the present embodiment, the second magnetic element 43 and the third magnetic element 44 are strong magnets, and the magnetic pole ends of the second magnetic element 43 are opposite, i.e. the N pole end 431 of the second magnetic element 43 faces upward and the S pole end 432 faces downward; the N pole end 441 of the third magnetic element 44 faces downward and the S pole end 442 faces upward.
When the second magnetic module 40 is installed, the shaft 411 of the adjusting element 41 is inserted through the second shaft hole 1311 of the supporting member 131, so as to pivot the adjusting element 41 on the third supporting portion 13. On the other hand, the swinging element 41 is movable on the path formed by the replacement pitch G and the relief groove 132 corresponding to the replacement pitch G and the relief groove 132. When the adjusting element 41 drives the swinging element 42 to swing, the second magnetic element 43 and the third magnetic element 44 can be moved into or out of the replacing space G, or all or part of the swinging element 42 can be accommodated in the yielding groove 132.
The fourth supporting portion 14 has a receiving groove 141. The driving module 50 includes a driving motor 51 and a gear set 52 connected to the driving motor 51, and the accommodating groove 141 is used for accommodating the driving motor 51 of the driving module 50. When the driving motor 51 is disposed in the receiving groove 141, the driving gear set 52 is engaged with the adjusting portion 412, i.e., the adjusting gear, to thereby drive the adjusting member 41. In the present embodiment, although only the embodiment in which the driving module 50 is mounted on the supporting base 10 is described, in practical application, the driving module 50 may be mounted at any position on the housing of the mouse device, and the driving gear set 52 and the adjusting portion 412 may be engaged, which is not limited to the embodiment described in the present embodiment.
The two fixing portions 15 are used to fix the wheel control mechanism RS to the housing or the main circuit board of the mouse device. In the present embodiment, the two fixing portions 15 are adjacent to the first supporting portion 11 and the fourth supporting portion 14, and the fixing portions 15 have locking holes 151, so that locking members, such as screws (not shown), can be inserted into the locking holes 151 to screw the fixing portions 15 onto the housing or the main circuit board of the mouse device.
Please refer to fig. 2A, fig. 2B, fig. 3A and fig. 3B. FIGS. 2A and 2B are schematic top views of the roller control mechanism according to the present invention; fig. 3A and 3B are schematic side views of the roller control mechanism according to the present invention.
In fig. 2A and fig. 3A, when the adjusting element 41 drives the swinging element 42 to make the second magnetic element 43 enter the replacing space G, the second magnetic element 43 and the first magnetic element 31 are in a pole-like opposite state to form a repulsive state, i.e. the N pole end 311 of the first magnetic element 31 is opposite to the N pole end 431 of the second magnetic element 43; the S-pole end 312 of the first magnetic element 31 is opposite the S-pole end 432 of the second magnetic element 43. At this time, the magnetic lines ML1 emitted from the N pole 311 of the first magnetic element 31 and the magnetic lines ML2 emitted from the N pole 431 of the second magnetic element 43 are mutually repelled, so that the magnetic field formed by the first magnetic element 31 is offset towards the first ends 321 and 331 of the two magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32, and the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 generate magnetic attraction force, so that the first ends 321 and 331 can attract the metal ratchet 22 to slow down the rotation speed of the metal ratchet 22.
In addition, compared to the recess 2212 on the ring gear structure 221, since the gap between the claw structures 3211, 3311 of the first ends 321, 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31, 32 and the protrusion 2211 on the ring gear structure 221 is smaller, when the metal ratchet 22 rotates, a larger magnetic attraction force is generated at the moment when the claw structures 3211, 3311 are opposite to the protrusion 2211, and the rotation speed of the roller body 21 can be instantaneously slowed down, so that the roller body 21 generates a sectional sense during rotation. In some possible embodiments, the roller body 21 may generate multiple paragraphs when rotating by adjusting the distance between the two protruding portions 2211 (e.g. reducing or enlarging the size of the recess 2212). Alternatively, a plurality of magnetic elements having different magnetic field strengths may be disposed on the swinging element 42, and each of the magnetic elements may be disposed so as to face the first magnetic element 31 with the same polarity. The swing element 42 switches magnetic elements with different magnetic field intensities at the replacement interval G, so that the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 generate different magnetic attraction forces, and the roller body 21 generates different degrees of sectional sense during rotation.
On the other hand, if the adjusting element 41 drives the swinging element 42, and both rod ends 421 and 422 of the swinging element 42 are separated from the replacing space G, for example, when the swinging element 42 is completely received in the yielding groove 132 (as shown in fig. 1D), the magnetic field of the first magnetic element 31 is not shifted, and the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 can only generate weak magnetic attraction force, so that the roller body 21 can only generate a less obvious sectional sense when rotating.
Please continue to refer to fig. 2B and fig. 3B. When the transmission gear set 52 (as shown in fig. 1C) of the driving module 50 drives the adjusting portion 412 of the adjusting element 41 to rotate in the reverse clock direction, the shaft portion 411 drives the swinging element 42 to disengage the second magnetic element 43 from the replacing space G, and let the third magnetic element 44 enter the replacing space G, the third magnetic element 44 and the first magnetic element 31 are opposite in opposite polarity to form a attracted state, i.e. the N-pole end 311 of the first magnetic element 31 is opposite to the S-pole end 442 of the third magnetic element 44; the S-pole end 312 of the first magnetic element 31 is opposite the N-pole end 441 of the third magnetic element 44. At this time, the magnetic flux ML1 emitted from the N pole end 311 of the first magnetic element 31 enters the S pole end 442 of the third magnetic element 44; the magnetic force line ML3 emitted from the N pole end 441 of the third magnetic element 44 enters the S pole end 312 of the first magnetic element 31, so that the first magnetic element 31 and the third magnetic element 44 form a closed magnetic field, and the magnetic attraction between the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 is weakened to be unable to attract the metal ratchet 22, so that the roller body 21 can rotate smoothly and no break-off feeling is generated.
With continued reference to fig. 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B. In some possible embodiments, the rotation speed detecting unit 60 (as shown in fig. 1C) may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the driving module 50 by using a main circuit board (not shown) of the mouse device. The speed detecting unit 60 may transmit the detected rotation speed information to the driving module 50 or a main circuit board (not shown) of the mouse device, so that the driving module 50 may switch the second magnetic module 40 based on the rotation speed of the roller body 21. For example, when the user rapidly dials the roller body 21 to make the rotation speed of the roller body 21 higher than the preset rotation speed threshold, the state indicates that the user may need to rapidly rotate the roller body 21, i.e. the shuttle mode, so as to rapidly browse a plurality of pages of the display. At this time, the driving module 50 drives the adjusting element 41 and makes the third magnetic element 44 enter the replacing space G, so that the magnetic attraction between the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 is weakened, and the roller body 21 can rotate smoothly without any occurrence of a break.
Conversely, if the rotational speed of the roller body 21 is lower than the preset rotational speed threshold, the driving module 50 drives the adjusting element 41 to make the second magnetic element 43 enter the replacing space G, so that the first ends 321 and 331 of the magnetic conductive elements 31 and 32 generate magnetic attraction force, and the roller body 21 rotates to generate a paragraph feel.
Referring to fig. 4A and fig. 4B, fig. 4A is a schematic perspective view of a first embodiment of a mouse device according to the present invention; fig. 4B is an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of the mouse device of the present invention. It should be noted that, the switch modules, the main circuit board and the internal circuits corresponding to the left and right keys are not shown in the exploded perspective view. The mouse device 1 includes: the housing 90 and the roller control mechanism RS. The housing 90 includes a combinable upper cover 91 and lower cover 92, wherein the operating end of the upper cover 91 has a roller opening 911. The wheel control mechanism RS may be fixedly disposed on the lower cover 92 through the fixing portion 15 of the support base 10; the roller body 21 of the roller module 20 corresponds to the roller hole 911, so that the roller body 21 can be partially exposed in the roller hole 911, and a user can dial the roller body 21 by a finger, so that the mouse device 1 outputs a corresponding control signal.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a mouse device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The functional elements of the housing 90a and the roller control mechanism RS' of the mouse device 1a are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described herein. However, the difference is that the roller control mechanism RS' is not provided with the driving module 50, and the support base 10a is not provided with the fourth support portion 14. On the other hand, the adjusting portion 412a of the second magnetic module 40a is of a knob structure, and the lower cover 92a has an adjusting hole 921a corresponding to the adjusting portion 412 a. After the upper cover 91a is combined with the lower cover 92a, the adjusting portion 412a, i.e. the knob structure, can be exposed in the adjusting hole 412 a. Thus, the user can manually rotate the adjusting portion 412a to adjust the position of the second magnetic module 40a, so that the roller body 21a of the roller module 20a generates no or multiple paragraphs when rotating.
The roller control mechanism provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that the first magnetic force module and the second magnetic force module can be utilized to adjust the rotation mode of the roller module in a non-contact mode, so that the roller body of the roller module generates no paragraph sense or multiple paragraph sense when rotating. Compared with the traditional design of adjusting the rotation mode of the roller by a contact type interference method, the non-contact type magnetic force module not only can switch the rotation mode of the roller more quickly, but also can effectively reduce the loss of the roller module; therefore, the invention is an creation with great industrial value.
The invention is modified as desired by those skilled in the art, but is not to be construed as limited by the appended claims.
