Abstract

A mouse apparatus includes a main body, a roller rotatably disposed on a shaft base of the main body and having a ratchet, a push button slidable relative to the main body and having an abutting sheet, and a torsion spring having a shaft rod pivoted to the shaft base, an abutting rod bending toward the abutting sheet to abut against the abutting sheet, and an interference rod bending toward the ratchet and having an interference structure corresponding to the ratchet. When the push button switches to a first position, the abutting sheet biases the abutting rod to rotate the interference rod downward via the shaft rod for interfering the ratchet with the interference structure to generate a first interference. When the push button switches to a second position, a second interference between the interference structure and the ratchet is larger than the first interference.

Description

Mouse device

This creation is about a mouse device, especially a mouse device that provides different roller rolling feel.

In the current mouse design, the mouse wheel is used for the forward and backward rotation operation (for example, the vertical scroll bar of the control window operation interface moves up and down) and the pressing trigger operation. However, the existing mouse wheel can only provide a single scrolling feel ( If there is no segmental rolling feel, Karton's paragraph scrolling feel, etc., it is not possible for the user to adjust the rolling feel. Therefore, when the user needs a different roller to roll the hand, it is necessary to purchase a new mouse separately, which is costly, thereby greatly limiting the flexibility and ease of operation of the mouse device.

Therefore, one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a mouse device that can provide different roller rolling feels to solve the above problems.

According to an embodiment, the mouse device of the present invention comprises a mouse body, a roller, a button structure, and a torsion spring. The mouse body has a rotating shaft seat formed along a Z-axis, and the Z-axis and an X-axis and a Y-axis are perpendicular to each other. The roller is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft seat relative to the Y-axis and protrudes outwardly along the Y-axis with respect to the rotating shaft seat to form a ratchet. The button structure is slidably disposed on the mouse body and extends inwardly relative to the mouse body to form an abutting piece. The torsion spring has a shaft crossbar, a bending abutment rod, and a bending interference rod. The shaft rail is rotatably disposed on the shaft seat relative to the Y-axis and located at a front side of the roller. The bending abutting rod is bent from the first end of the rotating shaft to the abutting piece to abut the abutting piece, and the bending interference rod is from the second end of the rotating shaft to the ratchet The bend is formed and has an interference structure corresponding to the position of the ratchet. When the button structure slides on the mouse body in a direction close to the roller to a first switching position, the abutting piece biases the bending abutment bar to flexure deformation to drive the bending line via the rotating shaft The folding interference lever pivots downward such that the interference structure interferes with the ratchet to produce a first amount of interference. When the button structure slides from the first switching position toward the roller to the at least one second switching position on the body of the mouse, the abutting piece biases the bending abutment bar to flex deformation to be The shaft crossbar drives the bending interference rod to continue to pivot downward such that the interference structure and the ratchet generate a second amount of interference, the second amount of interference being greater than the first amount of interference.

In summary, compared with the prior art, only a single roller rolling feel can be provided without the touch adjustment function, and the present invention can adjust the interference amount of the torsion spring to the ratchet through the sliding of the above-mentioned dial structure to generate different The user can make an immediate adjustment effect on the different requirements of the roller rolling feel, thereby greatly improving the flexibility and ease of operation of the mouse device.

The advantages and spirit of the present invention can be further understood by the following embodiments and the drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a perspective view of a mouse device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to clearly show the internal structural design of the mouse device 10 , the mouse device is omitted in FIG. 1 . 10 is shown in the upper housing and part of the housing structure is shown in dashed lines (the related description for the design of the mouse housing is common in the prior art, and will not be described here). As shown in FIG. 1, the mouse device 10 includes a mouse body 12, a roller 14, a button structure 16, and a torsion spring 18. The mouse body 12 has a rotating shaft seat 20, and the rotating shaft seat 20 is formed to protrude along the Z-axis, wherein the Z-axis and the X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other. The roller 14 protrudes outwardly along the Y-axis with respect to the rotating shaft seat 20 to form a ratchet wheel 22 and is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft seat 20 with respect to the Y-axis, so as to allow the user to perform the forward-backward rotation operation by pushing the roller 14 by the finger. (For example, the vertical scroll bar of the control window operation interface moves up and down). The button structure 16 is slidably disposed on the mouse body 12 and extends inwardly relative to the mouse body 12 to form an abutment piece 24.

As for the structural design of the torsion spring 18, as can be seen from Fig. 1, the torsion spring 18 has a rotating shaft crossbar 26, a bending abutting rod 28, and a bending interference rod 30, and the rotating shaft crossbar 26 is rotatably rotated with respect to the Y axis. The bending abutment rod 28 is bent from the first end S _{1 of the} rotating shaft crossbar 26 to the abutting piece 24 to abut against the abutting piece 24, and the bending interference is provided on the rotating shaft seat 20 at the front side of the roller 14. The rod 30 is bent from the second end S _{2 of the} pivot shaft 26 to the ratchet 22 and has an interference structure 32 at a position above the ratchet 22. In more detail, in this embodiment, the interference structure 32 is preferably The crossbar formed to extend from the end of the bending abutment rod 30 along the Y-axis, but not limited thereto, may also adopt other structural designs that can interfere with the ratchet 22, such as a hook structure or the like.

The following is a detailed description of the scrolling touch adjustment operation of the mouse device 10, see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, and FIG. 2 is a view of the mouse device 10 of FIG. 1 sliding to the first switch on the dial structure 16. A side view of the position, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the mouse device 10 of Fig. 1 when the dial structure 16 is slid to the second switching position. As shown in FIG. 2, when the user wants to switch the mouse device 10 to provide a scrolling feel of the roller having a continuous click feeling, the user only needs to push the dial structure 16 to approach the mouse body 12. The direction of the roller 14 slides to the first switching position as shown in FIG. 2, in the process, as the button structure 16 slides, the abutment piece 24 will correspondingly bias the bending abutment lever 28 to flex. The deformation is to pivot downwardly to the position as shown in FIG. 2 by driving the bending interference rod 30 via the shaft crossbar 18 such that the interference structure 32 interferes with the ratchet 22 to generate a first amount of interference, such that the interference structure 32 is transmitted through the interference structure 32. In connection with the structural interference between the ratchets 22, the mouse device 10 can provide a rolling feel with a continuous click feeling during the forward and backward rotational operation of the user in the manner of pushing the rollers 14 with the fingers.

On the other hand, as can be seen from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the user wants to switch the mouse device 10 to a scrolling feel that is more noticeable, the user only needs to push the button structure 16 at The mouse body 12 continues to slide from the first switching position as shown in FIG. 2 toward the direction of the roller 14 to the second switching position as shown in FIG. 3, in the process, along with the button structure 16 Sliding, the abutment tab 24 biases the bending abutment lever 28 to drive the bending interference lever 30 via the pivot rail 18 to continue pivoting downward to the position shown in FIG. 3, thereby further increasing the interference structure 32. A degree of interference with the structure of the ratchet 22 produces a second amount of interference greater than the first amount of interference described above. In this way, as the amount of structural interference between the interference structure 32 and the ratchet 22 increases, the mouse device 10 can provide a feeling of a step in the process of the forward and backward rotation operation by the user pushing the roller 14 with the finger. The obvious scrolling feel of the wheel.

It is worth mentioning that, in practical applications, the mouse device 10 can further provide a roller rolling feel without paragraphs. For example, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, and FIG. 4 is a first figure. The side view of the mouse device 10 when the button structure 16 is slid to the third switching position, when the user wants to switch the mouse device 10 to a roller scrolling feel that can provide a paragraphless feeling, the user only needs to push the dial The button structure 16 slides on the mouse body 12 from the first switching position shown in FIG. 2 away from the roller 14 to the third switching position as shown in FIG. 4, in the process, with the dial When the structure 16 slides, the abutment piece 24 can no longer bias the bent abutment bar 28 to cause the bending abutment bar 28 to be released, so that the torsion spring 18 generates a return spring force to drive the bending interference lever 30 to pivot upward to The position where the interference structure 32 is separated from the ratchet 22 as shown in FIG. In this way, by designing the interference structure 32 to be separated from the ratchet 22, the mouse device 10 can provide a rolling feel without a paragraph feeling during the forward and backward rotation operation by the user pushing the roller 14 with the finger.

In summary, compared with the prior art, only a single roller rolling feel can be provided without the touch adjustment function, and the present invention can adjust the interference amount of the torsion spring to the ratchet through the sliding of the above-mentioned dial structure to generate different The user can make an immediate adjustment effect on the different requirements of the roller rolling feel, thereby greatly improving the flexibility and ease of operation of the mouse device.  The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made by the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
