It should be understood that this case can have various changes in different aspects, which do not depart from the scope of this case, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially for illustrative purposes, rather than being constructed to limit the case.

Please refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a mouse according to an embodiment of this case, and Figure 3 shows the structure of a shell with a flexible curved surface according to an embodiment of this case The schematic diagram and Fig. 4 show a side view of a structure of the mouse shown in Fig. 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mouse 2 of the present invention includes a functional body 21 and a shell 3 with a flexible curved surface. The housing 3 with a flexible curved surface includes a main body 31 and a flexible curved surface 32. The main body 31 is connected with the functional main body 21, and the main body 31 has a frame 311. The flexible curved surface 32 has a plurality of polygonal surfaces 321 and a plurality of flexible connecting portions 322. Wherein, each polygonal surface 321 is connected to the adjacent polygonal surface 321 by at least one of a plurality of flexible connecting portions 322. In other words, any two adjacent polygonal surfaces 321 are connected by at least one flexible connecting portion 322, but it is not limited to this. In addition, the flexible curved surface 32 is disposed on the frame 311, and the frame 311 and the flexible curved surface 32 are connected by a plurality of flexible connecting portions 322 in part. In this way, each polygonal surface 321 can be independently displaced, thereby achieving flexibility, so as to evenly disperse the pressure of the biological feature (such as the palm) carried, and achieve the effect of reducing pressure.

According to the concept of the present case, the main body 31 of the housing 3 with a flexible curved surface is not limited to be connected to the functional main body 21 of the mouse 2 only. In some embodiments, the main body 31 and its frame 311 can change the outline of other objects that need to be in contact with biological features, for example, as a handle, a mat, etc., but it is not limited to this. The flexible curved surface 32 is preferably matched with the frame 311, and can also be exactly the same as the outline of the frame 311, but it is not limited thereto.

Please refer to FIG. 5 in conjunction with FIG. 4. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a part of the structure of a housing with a flexible curved surface according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, among the plurality of flexible connecting portions 322 of the flexible curved surface 32 of the housing 3 with a flexible curved surface, each of the flexible connecting portions 322 can be U-shaped flexible. Features (as shown in Figure 4), flexible lattice structure (as shown in Figure 5), or flexible sponge (not shown), but not limited to this. It should be particularly noted that the flexible connecting portion 322 can be selected according to the material of the main body 31 and/or its frame 311, or according to the purpose of the article and biological characteristics, so as to achieve an appropriate pressure reduction effect.

In some embodiments, the housing 3 with flexible curved surface and its main body 31 and flexible curved surface 32 are preferably printed and formed by a three-dimensional printer, but it is not limited to this. In addition, the flexible connecting portion 322 can also be made of flexible materials.

Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 again. According to the concept of the present case, one side of each polygonal surface 321 of the plurality of polygonal surfaces 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 of the housing 3 with a flexible curved surface is equal to the side length of one side of the adjacent polygonal surface 321. In addition, there is a gap between one side of each polygonal surface 321 in the plurality of polygonal surfaces 321 and one side of the adjacent polygonal surface 321. In other words, there are a plurality of gaps between the plurality of polygonal surfaces 321. When a user grasps the mouse 2 of the present case with his hand, the palm of his hand will press the flexible curved surface 32, so that the flexible curved surface 32 will be forced. At this time, the polygonal surface 321 adjacent to the force point will move downwards. One polygonal surface 321 is connected to other polygonal surfaces 321 by a flexible connecting portion 322, so that adjacent polygonal surfaces 321 are driven, and finally the gap between the adjacent force points is reduced and the gap away from the force points is enlarged.

The lengths are equal, and they are connected by at least one of the plurality of flexible connecting parts 322. In other words, the flexible curved surface 32 can be directly arranged on the frame 311 with an opening, or on the frame 311 with the matching polygonal surface 3111 at the edge, and the matching polygonal surface 3111 can be outside the polygonal surface 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 The contours match or are exactly the same.

Please refer to Figures 6 to 8. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing a polygonal surface of a flexible curved shell of an embodiment of this case, and Figure 7 shows a flexible curved shell of an embodiment of this case The polygonal surface schematic diagram of FIG. 8 and the polygonal surface schematic diagram of the housing with flexible curved surface according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 6 to 8, the plural polygonal surfaces 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 of the shell 3 with a flexible curved surface in this case are each an N-sided polygonal surface, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3 . In addition, the total number of the plurality of polygonal surfaces 321 is M, and M is a positive integer. For example, the N value of the polygonal surface 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 shown in FIG. 6 is 3 and the M value is 8, and the N value of the polygonal surface 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 shown in FIG. 7 is 3+4 And the M value is 9, and the N value of the polygonal surface 321 of the flexible curved surface 32 shown in FIG. 8 is 3+4+5 and the M value is 7. When N and M are larger, it means that the flexible curved surface 32 is divided more closely, so that the flexible curved surface 32 fits the curve of biological characteristics more closely.

Please refer to Figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the polygonal surface and flexible connecting portion of the flexible curved surface of an embodiment of this case, and Figure 10 is a diagram showing the polygonal surface of the flexible curved surface of an embodiment of this case Schematic diagram of the surface and the flexible connection part. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, when the flexible connecting portion 322 of the flexible curved surface 32 has a U-shaped flexibility, the flexible connecting portion 322 is preferably connected to two relatively displaceable polygonal surfaces 321, and Each flexible connecting portion 322 spans a gap.

Furthermore, when the flexible curved surface 32 of the shell 3 with a flexible curved surface bears a biological feature, such as a human palm, the flexible curved surface 32 can fit the curve of the biological feature. Please refer to Figure 11, which is a schematic diagram showing the flexible curved surface of this case fitting the palm curve. As shown in FIG. 11, when the total number M of polygonal surfaces 321 is 10, it means that at least ten polygonal surfaces 321 along the palm curve 4 can be independently displaced, so that the flexible curved surface 32 can fit the palm curve 4.

To sum up, this project provides a mouse and a shell with a flexible curved surface. By connecting multiple polygonal surfaces of the flexible curved surface with a plurality of flexible connecting parts, each polygonal surface can be independently displaced, thereby realizing Flexibility, to evenly disperse the pressure of the biological characteristics of the bearing, and achieve the decompression effect.
