Description

Mouse and computer system

The present invention relates to the field of computer equipment, and in particular to a mouse and a computer system using the same.

Although the conventional laptops are equipped with a touchpad, the flexibility of using the touchpad to control cursor movement is not as good as that of a mouse, so users often use a mouse to control the notebook. However, existing mice can only be used to control cursor movement without other functions, such as when the battery is used, to provide power to the laptop when the laptop battery is low, to prevent the laptop from suddenly powering down, causing data loss.

In view of this, the present invention provides a mouse that can be used as a battery and a computer system using the same.

The upper cover includes a first operating portion and a second operating portion rotatably coupled to the first operating portion; the bottom cover includes a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion, the first The accommodating portion is fixedly connected to the first operating portion, the second accommodating portion is fixedly connected to the second operating portion, and the first accommodating portion is provided with a through hole near the side wall of the second accommodating portion; Further comprising a battery board, the battery board is received in the first receiving portion, the battery board is provided with a first connector for electrically connecting to an external electronic device, the first connector and the through hole Alignment; wherein, when the mouse is rotated to the folded state, the first connector of the panel can be connected to an external electronic device to provide electrical power to the external electronic device.

The computer system includes a mouse and a notebook, the mouse includes an upper cover and a bottom cover, the notebook computer includes a body, and the upper cover includes a first operating portion and a second operating portion rotatably coupled to the first operating portion; The bottom cover includes a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion, the first receiving portion is fixedly connected to the first operating portion, and the second receiving portion is fixedly connected to the second operating portion, the first a through hole is formed in a side wall of the receiving portion near the second receiving portion; the mouse further includes a battery board, the battery board is received in the first receiving portion, and the first connector is disposed on the battery board For electrically connecting to the notebook computer, the first connector is aligned with the through hole; wherein, when the mouse is rotated to a folded state, the first connector of the battery board is a notebook computer connected to provide power to the notebook computer; and a body of the notebook computer is provided with a receiving slot, the shape of the receiving slot is matched with the shape of the folded mouse, so that the folded mouse can be Contained in the a second connector that is coupled to the first connector of the battery; and the second connector is configured when the folded mouse is received in the receiving slot A through hole passing through the mouse is electrically connected to the first connector.

The mouse provided by the invention can provide power to the notebook computer when the battery power of the notebook computer is insufficient, thereby preventing the laptop computer from being suddenly powered off and causing data loss.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the housing of the mouse 100 includes an upper cover 10 and a bottom cover 20 . One end of the mouse 100 is provided with a right button 30, a left button 40, and a roller 50. The housing of the mouse 100 includes a first circuit board 60, a second circuit board 70 electrically connected to the first circuit board 60, and a battery board 80.

The upper cover 10 includes a first operation portion 12, a second operation portion 14, and a hinge 16. The first operating portion 12 is rotatably coupled to the second operating portion 14 via a hinge 16 .

The bottom cover 20 includes a first receiving portion 22 and a second receiving portion 24 . The first housing portion 22 is fixedly coupled to the first operation portion 12 , and the second housing portion 24 is fixedly coupled to the second operation portion 14 . Since the first operating portion 12 is rotatably coupled to the second operating portion 14 via the hinge 16, the first receiving portion 22 is fixedly coupled to the first operating portion 12, and the second receiving portion 24 is fixedly coupled to the second operating portion 14, so that The hinge 16 rotates the first operation portion 12 and the first housing portion 22 such that the first operation portion 12 covers the second operation portion 14, thereby bringing the mouse 100 into a folded state (refer to FIG. 3).

The first housing portion 22 houses the first circuit board 60 and the battery board 80 , and the second housing portion 24 houses the second circuit board 70 . The first circuit board 60 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 70 by a cable (not shown) disposed within the hinge 16. The first circuit board 60 and the second circuit board 70 are provided with working elements of the mouse 100 to ensure that the mouse 100 can work normally when it is not folded. In the embodiment, the first circuit board 60 or the second circuit board 70 is further provided with a wireless communication module 90 for implementing wireless communication between the mouse 100 and an external electronic device.

With further reference to FIG. 3, the battery board 80 is provided with a first connector 82 for electrically connecting with an external electronic device to provide electrical power to the external electronic device. A through hole 2220 is defined in the sidewall 222 of the first receiving portion 22 adjacent to the second receiving portion 24. The first connector 82 is aligned with the through hole 2220. When the mouse 100 is in the folded state, the first connector 82 can be electrically connected to an external electronic device, that is, the mouse 100 can be used as a battery to supply electrical power to the external electronic device.

4 is a perspective view of a notebook computer that can use the mouse 100. The notebook computer 200 includes a body 400. A receiving groove 402 is defined in the body 400. The outer shape of the receiving groove 402 matches the outer shape of the mouse 100 when it is folded. Thus, after the mouse 100 is folded, the mouse 100 can be placed in the receiving groove 402. A second connector 4022 that mates with the first connector 82 of the battery panel 80 is disposed on a sidewall of the receiving slot 402. The second connector 4022 is electrically connected to a main board (not shown) of the computer 200. When the folded mouse 100 is received in the receiving slot 402, the second connector 4022 is electrically connected to the first connector 82 through the through hole 2220 of the mouse 100. As such, the battery panel 80 of the mouse 100 can provide power to the computer 200.

The mouse 100 of the present invention can be used as a battery after being folded. Thus, when the battery of the notebook computer 200 is insufficient, the notebook computer 200 can be supplied with electric power to prevent the notebook computer 200 from being suddenly powered off, resulting in data loss.
