Detailed Description

The detailed description and technical content of the present utility model are described below with reference to the drawings, which are, however, provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

The utility model provides a mouse and a push-turn switching roller module thereof, as shown in fig. 15, the mouse comprises a push-turn switching roller module (hereinafter referred to as roller module) 100 and a housing 900, wherein the roller module 100 is arranged on the housing 900.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, a first embodiment of a roller module 100 according to the present utility model includes: a frame 1, a roller 2, a pressing mechanism 3 and a swing arm 4.

The roller 2 has a rotation shaft 21 and a plurality of roller teeth 231 surrounding each other, and the rotation shaft 21 is surrounded by the roller teeth 231. The roller 2 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 by a rotation shaft 21, and the roller teeth 231 can rotate along with the roller 2 and have a rotation path D (see fig. 6). It should be noted that, in one embodiment, a recess 22 is formed on one surface of the roller 2, an inner periphery 23 is formed at a position of the roller 2 corresponding to the recess 22, and the roller teeth 231 protrude from the inner periphery 23 toward the rotating shaft 21.

The rotation mechanism 3 includes: a sleeve 31, a pressing member 32 and a rotating member 33, and in one embodiment, a pressing elastic member 34.

The sleeve 31 is fixed to the frame 1 such that the sleeve 31 is positioned at a relative position to the roller 2. The upper end opening of the sleeve 31 may be fixed with a cover plate 311 as shown, or may be integrally formed with a cover plate (not shown), which is illustrated in the present embodiment; the lower end opening of the sleeve 31 is integrally formed with a bottom sealing plate (not shown in fig. 6) from which the rotary member 33 extends. The rotating member 33 is rotatably disposed in the sleeve 31 and partially extends out of the bottom sealing plate, and a portion of the rotating member 33 partially extending out of the bottom sealing plate has at least one blocking portion 3321 and at least one receiving space 3322 as shown in fig. 3. The pressing member 32 is telescopically inserted in the cover 311 and extends into the sleeve 31 to drive the rotating member 33 to rotate relative to the sleeve 31. In one embodiment, the pressing elastic component 34 is sleeved on the rotating member 33 and elastically supported between the rotating member 33 and the bottom sealing plate of the sleeve 31.

It should be noted that, the rotation angle of the rotation pressing mechanism 3 is not limited to any rotation angle such as 45 degrees or 90 degrees, in this embodiment, the rotation member 33 includes a linear protrusion 332, and the linear protrusion 332 has two opposite sides opposite to each other as shown in fig. 3, the two opposite sides are the two blocking portions 3321, and the two receiving spaces 3322 are formed at the two opposite surfaces of the linear protrusion 332, respectively.

In this way, each time the user presses the pressing member 32, as shown in fig. 6 and 11, the rotating member 33 is driven to rotate 90 degrees relative to the sleeve 31, and each time the rotating member 33 rotates 90 degrees, the stop portion 3321, the accommodating space 3322, the stop portion 3321 and the accommodating space 3322 circulate in sequence, so that the acting portion 42 of the swing arm 4 acts.

The swing arm 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, so that the swing arm 4 can perform seesaw-like motion (hereinafter referred to as "seesaw motion") with the connection portion thereof as an axis. The swing arm 4 has a lever 41 and an operating portion 42 at both ends, and the operating portion 42 is respectively stopped by the stopper portion 3321 and accommodated in the accommodating space 3322 before and after the rocker operation, so that the lever 41 can be positioned on the rotation path D and outside the rotation path D before and after the rocker operation. In other words, the swing arm 4 is bridged between the roller convex tooth 231 of the roller 2 and the linear convex body 332 of the rotating member 33 by the shift lever 41 and the action portion 42. In one embodiment, an acting elastic component 423 is elastically supported between the acting portion 42 and the frame 1; the lever 41 extends into the recess 22 of the roller 2.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, when the rotation mechanism 3 rotates 90 degrees to switch the in-line protrusion 332 to stop the acting portion 42 by the stop portion 3321, the swing arm 4 cannot swing due to being stopped by the stop portion 3321, so that the shift lever 41 is still located outside the rotation path D and cannot contact any roller tooth 231, and the user can shift the roller 2 to rotate quickly. As shown in fig. 9 to 12, when the rotation mechanism 3 is rotated by 90 degrees again to switch the in-line protrusion 332 to accommodate the acting portion 42 in the accommodating space 3322, the swing arm 4 is in a loose state because it is no longer blocked, so that the acting elastic component 423 can elastically push the swing arm 4 to perform the rocker action to deflect, and further, after the swing arm 4 deflects, the shift lever 41 is moved onto the rotation path D to contact with the roller convex teeth 231, so that when the user shifts the roller 2, the roller 2 cannot be rotated quickly, and each roller convex tooth 231 will shift the shift lever 41 to generate a better scale hand feeling.

Therefore, the roller module 100 of the present utility model can be reduced in size, and the roller module 100 of the present utility model can be applied to an existing mouse, because the number of components can be reduced (compared with the prior art) and a good scale touch can be generated by directly contacting the roller convex teeth 231 of the roller 2 with the shift lever 41. Furthermore, the push rod 41 of the swing arm 4 can be switched between the contact roller convex teeth 231 and the non-contact roller convex teeth 231 by the aid of the rotating mechanism 3 and special structural configuration, and when the push rod is switched into the contact roller convex teeth 231, the push rod directly contacts the roller convex teeth 231, so that better scale hand feeling can be generated; when switching to the non-contact roller tooth 231, the user can toggle the roller 2 to rotate quickly since it is not obstructed.

In detail, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the acting portion 42 may include a plate 421 and an opening 422, the opening 422 is disposed on the plate 421, and a plurality of inner rims 4221 surrounding each other are formed at positions corresponding to the opening 422 of the plate 421; the plate 421 is correspondingly located below the lower end opening of the sleeve 31, and the elastic component 423 is disposed between the plate 421 and the frame 1 as shown in fig. 7 or 12. The straight protrusion 332 extends into the opening 422, so that the acting portion 42 can be blocked by the blocking portion 3321 by one of the inner edges 4221 as shown in fig. 6, or can be inserted into the receiving space 3322 by the same inner edge 4221 after the swing arm 4 swings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the cover 311 has a hole 312, and the pressing member 32 is telescopically inserted into the hole 312 and is locked (or restricted) by the hole 312 to be unable to rotate. In detail, the cover 311 is provided with two limiting inner walls 3122 opposite to each other corresponding to the insertion holes 312, and the pressing member 32 has two limiting surfaces 323 corresponding to the limiting inner walls 3122, so as to limit the pressing member 32 from rotating relative to the cover 311; furthermore, the cover 311 is provided with two guide grooves 3121 corresponding to the insertion holes 312, and the pressing member 32 has two guide bars 321 correspondingly sliding in each guide groove 3121 to guide the pressing member 32 to move telescopically relative to the cover 311.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, 8A and 8B, the rotation mechanism 3 is capable of rotating 90 degrees each time, and includes: a shaft post 324 protrudes from the lower end surface of the pressing piece 32 and protrudes with a first inner ring convex tooth 32a, and the first inner ring convex tooth 32a surrounds the shaft post 324; a first outer ring convex tooth 311a which is surrounded by a corresponding jack 312 protrudes from the inner surface of the cover plate 311; and, a second inner ring lobe 333b and a second outer ring lobe 334b are disposed on the rotating member 33, in detail, the rotating member 33 further includes a rotating body 331, the linear-shaped lobe 332 integrally extends from the lower end of the rotating body 331, a shaft hole 3311 is formed in the rotating body 331 and has the second inner ring lobe 333b and the second outer ring lobe 334b, and the second inner ring lobe 333b and the second outer ring lobe 334b coaxially surround the shaft hole 3311, wherein the second inner ring lobe 333b corresponds to and is abutted against the first inner ring lobe 32a, and the second outer ring lobe 334b corresponds to and is abutted against the first outer ring lobe 311a.

In this way, the user can drive the rotator 33 to rotate 90 degrees relative to the sleeve 31 each time he presses the pressing member 32.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, the second embodiment of the roller module 100 according to the present utility model is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and only the rotation angle of the pressing mechanism 3 per rotation is 45 degrees, and therefore the convex body of the rotating member 33 needs to be different, the acting portion 42 needs to be different, and the inner ring teeth and the outer ring teeth need to be different.

The rotating member 33 integrally extends at the lower end of the rotating body 331 to form a cross-shaped protrusion 336, where the cross-shaped protrusion 336 has two sets of two opposite sides, four sides of the two sets are four stop portions 3361, and a recess between any two adjacent sides is four receiving spaces 3362. The cross-shaped protrusion 336 also correspondingly extends into the opening 422 of the active portion 42.

The inner edge 4221 of the plate 421 further comprises a protrusion 4223, and the protrusion 4223 corresponds to the receiving space 3362.

Therefore, each 45 degrees of rotation of the rotator 33 sequentially includes the stopper portion 3361, the accommodating space 3362, the stopper portion 3361, and the accommodating space 3362, …, and the convex key 4223 of the swing arm 4 described later acts. As shown in fig. 13, when the user presses the rotation mechanism 3 to rotate 45 degrees, the convex key 4223 of the acting portion 42 can be blocked by any blocking portion 3361, so that the swing arm 4 cannot swing, and the shift lever 41 is located outside the rotation path D and cannot contact with the roller convex teeth 231; as shown in fig. 14, when the user presses 45 degrees again, the convex key 4223 is received in the receiving space 3362 after the swing arm 4 swings, the shift lever 41 moves along the rotation path D to contact the roller convex teeth 231, and each roller convex tooth 231 will shift the shift lever 41 to generate better scale hand feeling.

It should be noted that, in order to rotate 45 degrees, the number of teeth of the first inner ring teeth, the first outer ring teeth, the second inner ring teeth and the second outer ring teeth (not shown) of the second embodiment of the roller module 100 of the present utility model is twice that of the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 15, the housing 900 has an inner space S, the roller module 100 is accommodated in the inner space S, and the roller 2 is partially exposed outside the housing 900, and the frame 1 is fixed to the housing 900.

In summary, the mouse and the push-to-turn switching type roller module thereof according to the present utility model can achieve the expected purpose and solve the drawbacks of the prior art.

The foregoing description is only illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model, as all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the description and drawings are intended to be embraced therein.
