Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention provides a mouse with a mobile signal input module, which includes a housing 1, a control module 2, and a signal input. Enter module 3.

The housing 1 has a base 11 and a cover 12 combined with the base 11. The base 11 and the cover 12 are formed together with a receiving space 13 in the housing 11. The front of the cover 12 is provided with two adjacent positions. The button portion 121 defines an opening 122 between the two adjacent button portions 121, and a pressing contact arm 1211 is formed on each of the inner surfaces of the two button portions 121.

The control module 2 is disposed in the accommodating space 13 in the housing 1. The control module 2 includes a circuit board 21 and a microprocessor 22 disposed on the circuit board 21, and the circuit board 21 can be provided with other Electronic component.

The signal input module 3 is movably disposed in the accommodating space 13 in the casing 1 and electrically connected to the control module 2 .

Further, the signal input module 3 includes a roller 31, and the roller 31 partially protrudes beyond the housing 1 through the opening 122.

In the embodiment, the signal input module 3 further includes a circuit board 32 and two key switches 33. The two key switches 33 are disposed on the circuit board 32, and the two key switches 33 respectively correspond to the two pressure contact arms 1211. The two button portions 121 can be pressed by the index finger or the middle finger of the user to drive the two pressure button arms 1211 to press the two button switches 33 to generate corresponding signals for transmission to the control module 2.

The roller 31 is movably disposed on the circuit board 32 and located between the two button switches 33. The roller 31 can be driven by the index finger or the middle finger of the user, and rotates, swings left and right, or presses down on the circuit board 32 to generate corresponding signals for transmission to the control module 2.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the circuit board 32 is movably disposed in the accommodating space 13 in the housing 1, and the circuit board 32 can be linearly moved relative to the housing 1 along a moving direction D to be linked. The roller 31 thereon is synchronously moved linearly along the moving direction D. Furthermore, the signal input module 3 is provided with a push under the circuit board 32. The member 34 is used to push the circuit board 32 to move, and the pushing member 34 can be a push button.

Therefore, if the user feels that the manipulation position of the roller 31 needs to be changed, the user can push the pushing member 34 with the finger to drive the circuit board 32 to linearly shift the roller 31 forward and backward to change the relative position of the roller 31 and the housing 1. The roller 31 shown in FIG. 4 is located opposite to the roller 31 shown in FIG. 3, so that the roller 31 can be displaced to the opposite front to meet the manipulation requirements of the user whose index finger or middle finger has a long length, and of course the roller 31 can also Displace to the opposite rear to meet the manipulation needs of users with shorter forefingers or middle fingers.

Moreover, when the circuit board 32 moves linearly relative to the housing 1 along the moving direction D, the two-button switch 33 disposed thereon is also linearly moved in the moving direction D to change the two-button switch. 33 is in a position relative to the housing 1, thereby changing the relative position of the two button switches 33 and the two button portions 121. The push button switch 33 shown in FIG. 4 is located relatively opposite to the push button switch 33 shown in FIG. 3, so that the push button switch 33 can be displaced to the front side, so that the force arm is increased, so that the user can pass the touch arm of the button portion 121. 1211 presses the button switch 33 with a lighter force. Of course, the button switch 33 can also be displaced to the opposite rear, so that the arm is shortened, so that the user can press the button switch 33 through the touch arm 1211 of the button portion 121 with a more gravity channel. The feeling when the button portion 121 is pressed is adjusted.

As can be seen from the above, the signal input module 3 can move linearly relative to the housing 1 along the moving direction D, so that the roller 31 and the key switch 33 are linearly moved relative to the housing 1 along the moving direction D, and can be simultaneously changed. The position of the roller 31 and the key switch 33 relative to the housing 1 is adapted to the user's suitable handling position and feel.

The mouse with the mobile signal input module further includes a position sensor 4, and the position sensor 4 is disposed in the accommodating space 13 in the housing 1 and electrically connected to the control module 2 for sensing the circuit. The position of the plate 32 relative to the housing 1 relative to a position signal is output to the control module 2. Position sensor 4, which may be, but is not limited to, Hall sensing , photointerrupters, photodetectors, variable resistors, etc. Further details regarding the use of a variable resistor to sense the position of the circuit board 32 will be provided below.

Further, the position sensor 4 can output a resistance value as a position signal to the control module 2 according to the position of the circuit board 32 relative to the housing 1, so that the control module 2 can discriminate the circuit board 32 according to the resistance value. At the position of the housing 1. For example, when the circuit board 32 is located relatively forward of the housing 1, the position sensor 4 can output a larger resistance value. On the contrary, when the circuit board 32 is located opposite to the rear of the casing 1, the position sensor 4 can output a small resistance value, whereby the resistance value can be used as the position signal of the signal input module 3.

In detail, if the user A has a long index finger and moves the signal input module 3 to the front of the housing 1, the position sensor 4 outputs a resistance value of about 10 ohms. If the user B has a short index finger and moves the signal input module 3 to the rear of the housing 1, the position sensor 4 outputs a resistance value of about 5 ohms, so that the control module 2 can be based on the resistance value. Recording the position signal of the signal input module 3 when the user controls the mouse, the control module 2 can have a memory (not shown) electrically connected to the microprocessor 22, which can be used to store the A or B. The signal is input to the position signal of the module 3 when the mouse is manipulated.

In this embodiment, the control module 3 can also have a setting interface 23, the setting interface 23 is disposed on the circuit board 32, and is electrically connected to the microprocessor 22. The setting interface 23 can be used to generate a setting signal to the microprocessor. 22, for the microprocessor 22 to control the position sensor 4 to record the position signal according to the set signal. The setting interface 23 can have first and second setting keys 231, 232. When a user first uses the mouse, the user A can move the signal input module 3 to the position most suitable for manipulation. Then, the user A can press the first setting button 231 to record the position signal of the signal input module 3 when the user controls the mouse. Therefore, when the user controls the mouse again, the user can press again. The first setting button 231, the signal input module 3 can be automatically Move to the position set by the first setting key 231. Similarly, the first and second setting keys 231, 232 can respectively record the position signals of the signal input module 3 of the user A and B when the mouse is manipulated, thereby being able to select the most suitable control position according to the user's setting. The position of the signal input module 3 relative to the housing 1 is automatically adjusted.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the mouse with the mobile signal input module further includes a display module 5, and the display module 5 is exposedly disposed on the housing 1 and the control module 2 Electrical connection. The display module 5 can be, but is not limited to, one or a combination of a liquid crystal display, a light indicator, and a seven-segment display. In this embodiment, the display module 5 is illustrated as a liquid crystal display, and the display module 5 is available. The position signal of the signal input module 3 when the mouse is manipulated is displayed for the user to view.

In summary, the mouse with the mobile signal input module is movably disposed in the casing 1 through the signal input module 3, and the signal input module 3 includes a roller 31 and a signal input mode.
