Detailed Description

The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and can implement the present invention, but the embodiments are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

The present invention provides a mouse structure, please refer to fig. 1 to 5, which mainly includes a housing 10, a control circuit 20, a plurality of (more than two) buttons 30 and a plurality of elastic members 40.

The housing 10 includes a base 11 and an upper cover 12, and the upper cover 12 is assembled to cover the base 11. In the embodiment, the base 11 and the upper cover 12 of the housing 10 are both integrally formed by plastic injection, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The base 11 is generally oval. The upper cover 12 is generally in an elliptical arc shape corresponding to the base 11, and has a holding surface 121 and a mounting surface 122. In the present embodiment, a step (not numbered) is provided between the holding surface 121 and the mounting surface 122, so that the mounting surface 122 is lower than the holding surface 121, and a through hole 122A is formed through the mounting surface 122. The mounting surface 122 of the upper cover 12 extends toward the base 11 to form a plurality of bosses 123. In the present embodiment, the number of the bosses 123 is two, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The control circuit 20 is disposed on the base 11, and the control circuit 20 is covered by the upper cover 12 and accommodated in the housing 10. The control circuit 20 mainly includes a circuit board 21 and a plurality of switches 22, and each switch 22 is disposed on the circuit board 21 and corresponding to the position of each boss 123.

In the present embodiment, the number of the keys 30 is two corresponding to the number of the bosses 123, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Each key 30 includes a fixing plate 31 and a pressing plate 32. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 31 is an L-shaped plate, the pressing plate 32 is arc-shaped and connected to one end of the L-shaped plate, and the fixing plate 31 passes through the through hole 122A of the mounting surface 122 and then is fixed to the bottom of the holding surface 121 of the upper cover 12, so that the pressing plate 32 can be suspended above the mounting surface 122 for the user to press, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A hollow cylinder 33 passing through the upper cover 12 is disposed below the pressing plate 32 of each key 30, and each hollow cylinder 33 has a pressing surface 331 and a stopping surface 332 opposite to each other. Preferably, the pressing surface 331 is further provided with a pressing block a for achieving a better pressing effect on the switch 22, but the pressing block a is not a requirement of the present invention, and therefore, the following description will be made by attaching the pressing surface 331 to the surface of the switch 22. In addition, an extending space 333 is opened at a side of the hollow cylinder 33 facing the holding surface 121, and the stopping surface 332 is exposed in the extending space 333.

In this embodiment, the number of the elastic members 40 is two corresponding to the number of the bosses 123, and the elastic members 40 may be made of metal sheets, plastic members or other elastic materials, which is not limited by the present invention. Each elastic member 40 has an insertion section 41, an elastic portion 42 and a pressing portion 43. The insert sections 41 are fastened to the bosses 123. Each elastic portion 42 is connected between each embedded section 41 and each pressed portion 43, and each elastic portion 42 penetrates into each hollow cylindrical body 33 from each protruding space 333. The pressing portions 43 are elastically pressed against the stop surfaces 332 to pull down the hollow cylinders 33, so that the pressing surfaces 331 can be attached to the surface of the switches 22 to ensure that the switches 22 can be triggered to operate each time the key 30 is pressed. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the insertion section 41 is elongated. The elastic portion 42 is substantially U-shaped and bridges both ends of the insertion section 41 to form a closed rectangular frame, and the elastic portion 42 extends horizontally in the opposite direction from the top end of the U-shape to extend out of an insertion section 421. The pressing portion 43 is connected to the extending portion 421 and is generally L-shaped, so as to press against the stop surface 332 of the hollow cylinder 33 by elastic force.

To explain, referring to fig. 3 and 4, a supporting seat 123A is formed at the top end of the boss 123. In the embodiment, the supporting base 123A is elongated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A limit cap 123B is further extended from one end of the support base 123A, and an interlayer space 123C is formed between the limit cap 123B and the support base 123A. The elastic member 40 further has an attaching section 44, and the attaching section 44 is elongated and extends from the inserting section 41 toward the pressing portion 43. The insertion section 41 is inserted and clamped in the interlayer space 123C between the limiting cover 123B and the supporting seat 123A, and the attachment section 44 is attached to the supporting seat 123A to support the whole elastic member 40, so that the elastic portion 42 and the pressing portion 43 surround the supporting seat 123A and can be in a suspended state.

Preferably, a retaining wall 123D is formed at one end of the supporting base 123A away from the limiting cover 123B, and a surrounding wall 123E surrounding the supporting base 123A extends from the left side and the right side of the limiting cover 123B. The retaining wall 123D can longitudinally and transversely limit the attaching section 44 to form a limit, the surrounding wall 123E can longitudinally and transversely limit the inserting section 41 to form a limit, and the elastic member 40 can be effectively fixed and limited on the boss 123 by matching with the interlayer space 123C.

Referring to fig. 5, when the key 30 is mounted on the top cover 12, the hollow cylinder 33 passes through the mounting surface 122, and the opening of the extending space 333 faces the boss 123, so that the extending section 421 of the elastic portion 42 can pass through the extending space 333, and the pressing portion 43 is pressed against the stop surface 332 of the hollow cylinder 33 to pull the hollow cylinder 33 downward, thereby effectively ensuring that the pressing surface 331 can be attached to the surface of the switch 22. Therefore, the gap caused by the manufacturing tolerance can be eliminated by the elastic force of the elastic element 40, the hollow column 33, the boss 123 and the elastic element 40 are easy to produce and manufacture, and the assembly configuration among the parts is simple and quick, so that the production cost and the assembly time can be greatly reduced.

Please refer to fig. 6 and 7, which are a second embodiment of the present invention, the main difference is the inclined angle of the extending section 421 of the elastic member 40. In this embodiment, the protruding section 421 extends obliquely toward the switch 22 and is connected to the L-shaped pressing portion 43, so that the protruding section 421 and the pressing portion 43 together form a concave structure (as shown in the cross-sectional view of fig. 7) to press against the stop surface 332 of the hollow cylinder 33 by elastic force. The downwardly inclined extending section 421 of the second embodiment can compensate a larger tolerance gap, and can enhance the pressing elastic force of the pressing portion 43 against the stop surface 332, so as to further ensure that the pressing surface 331 is attached to the surface of the switch 22, and further achieve the pre-pressing effect to improve the pressing sensitivity of the key 30.

The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitution or transformation made by the technical personnel in the technical field on the basis of the utility model is within the protection scope of the utility model. The protection scope of the present invention is subject to the claims.
