Description

A new type of structure mouse

The invention relates to a mouse, in particular to a novel structure mouse which is easy to operate.

Background technique

The upper casing of the commonly used mouse is divided into two parts, the front part and the rear part, the front part is a functional area, and two left and right buttons and rollers are arranged therebetween, and the rear part is an arc structure suitable for the palm rest. Usually the left side is an arc structure suitable for the thumb grip. When holding the mouse, the palm rests on the back of the upper case, the thumb is placed on the left side of the mouse, the ring finger and the little finger are placed on the right side, and the movement of the mouse is achieved by the thumb and the ring finger and the little finger, while the index finger Both the middle finger and the middle finger are suspended, which are used to strike the left and right buttons respectively. The index finger also needs to move frequently to move the wheel. Since the index finger needs to frequently hit the left button and control the roller operation, and the left button is pressed to the left to make the muscle of the index finger tense, it is easy to cause fatigue due to excessive operation. A mouse is disclosed in the Chinese patent ZL03235369. 3, which sets the roller on the thumb grip of the side wall of the housing and is operated by the thumb to reduce the operation of the index finger and improve the operation speed. However, when the roller is not in use, in order to avoid misoperation, the thumb will have to maintain tension and cause it to be in a state of intense fatigue for a long time. Summary of the invention:

In order to solve the defects and deficiencies of the existing mouse, the invention designs a mouse which can avoid the fatigue of the thumb and is easy to operate.

The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a mouse provided with a button and a holding area, the button includes a left button, a right button and a scroll wheel, wherein the roller is disposed above the thumb holding position or The rear transition from the upper surface of the housing to the side edge region of the side surface.

The left button is placed in the middle of the front of the mouse.

The roller is disposed horizontally or vertically in the side edge region and above or behind the thumb holding position. The portion of the mouse that is provided with the roller is four traps or a flat or convex surface

The outer contour surface of the roller for finger movement is a plane or a convex curved surface or a concave curved surface. The left button occupies a larger portion or a major portion of the front portion of the upper surface of the mouse housing.

The left front portion of the left button is tilted forward.

The left button is disposed in a vertical area at the front of the mouse.

The right button is located at an angular position on the right front of the mouse.

The scroll wheel, left button and right button can be set from left to right or symmetrical to suit the user's left or right hand operation.

In the present invention, since the roller is disposed above or behind the thumb holding position, the upper surface of the casing transitions to the side edge region of the side surface. When the roller is idle, the thumb can leave the roller and return to the holding position to make the thumb In a natural relaxed state of holding the mouse, it is still necessary to maintain muscle tension and slow down fatigue when the roller is not operated. At the same time, due to its physiological structure, its movement to the base of the index finger is most flexible and easy when it is in a gripping state. Therefore, the roller is placed on the side edge region of the thumb to the root of the index finger, which is more suitable for large The physiological movement characteristics of the thumb can make it in a good operating state and increase the operating speed.

In the present invention, since the left button is disposed at the middle position of the front portion of the mouse, such a position is a position directly pointed by the index finger after holding the mouse, so that the index finger for operating the mouse does not need to be shifted to the left, but directly according to the physiological structure. Stretching and bending can hit the mouse. Because the index finger muscle is in a relaxed state, the index finger is always placed on the button and does not feel tired. It is also a natural relaxation state when tapping, and can be relieved at any time. The index finger is fatigued due to a large number of operations.

Further, since the left button of the present invention occupies a large portion or a main area of the front portion of the mouse, the index finger has a wider range of placement and room for movement, and the comfort of placement can be conveniently adjusted.

The front left side of the left button is tilted forward, making the index finger more convenient to use during operation.

Since the right-click frequency is lower, it is set at the angular position of the right front of the mouse, which can ensure that the left button of the main button occupies more positions, and the bone-like structure of the index finger makes it tilt to the right when moving to the right. Move up instead of panning, so setting the right button to the angular position makes it easier for the index finger to operate. The invention improves the ergonomic structure by setting the left and right keys, and can only operate the left and right keys with the index finger, and liberates the middle finger which is more suitable for holding the mouse from the binding of the right button, so that the operation of the mouse is more reasonable. , operating faster.

In Fig. 1, the upper surface 3 of the casing 1 of the mouse 1 is provided with a roller 2, a left button 7, a right button 8 and a holding area. It is generally customary to use a right hand operation, so the thumb will be held on the left side of the housing of the mouse 1. Face 4, so the roller 2 is also placed on the left side of the mouse 1, and is located above the thumb, or can be placed behind the thumb, that is, the rear edge of the side edge. Due to the natural physiological structure of the human finger and the palm, when the mouse 1 is held, the optimal holding position of the thumb is at the lower middle and lower part of the mouse 1, so the roller 2 is placed above or above the thumb. In the side edge area, it is convenient to move the thumb upwards or backwards and return to the holding position after the thumb is finished, so that it is in a relaxed state to avoid excessive fatigue. In addition, due to the physiological structure of the thumb, it is most flexible and easy to move toward the base of the index finger when the hand is in the grip state. Therefore, the roller 2 is disposed in the side edge region, which is more suitable for the physiological movement characteristics of the thumb, and can be in a good operating state and improve the operation speed.

In order to adapt to the difference in finger touch between different people, the outer porch of the roller 2 can be set as a plane or a convex curved surface or a concave curved surface. The left button 7 and the right button 8 are respectively disposed at the front of the upper casing of the mouse 1, and the left button 7 is the index finger operation button when the mouse 1 is held, and is disposed at the middle position of the front portion of the mouse 1, which is the position after holding the mouse 1 The position directly pointed by the index finger can make the index finger of the operating mouse 1 need not be shifted to the left, but can be directly struck by stretching and bending according to the physiological structure, that is, the position is the natural index of the index finger when holding and moving the mouse 1 To relax the extended position, the left button 7 of this embodiment is at the dominant position of the upper surface of the front portion of the mouse 1, and the right button 8 is located at the right edge of the upper surface of the front portion of the mouse 1. The invention mainly considers the bone structure of the index finger and the frequency of use of different buttons of the mouse, so that the setting of the mouse button becomes not the left and right keys, but the left and right keys can not only be asymmetrical, but the left and right keys occupy There is also a big gap in the surface area of the mouse. The left button 7 is disposed at the middle of the front portion of the mouse and occupies a larger portion of the front portion of the upper casing of the mouse, and the right button 8 is located at the angular position of the front right portion of the mouse, which is more suitable for the characteristic of the left button 7 being struck frequently. At the same time, the right button 8 is located at the corner of the right front of the mouse. The skeletal structure of the index finger makes it move diagonally upwards instead of translation when moving to the right side. Therefore, setting the right button to the angular position makes it easier for the index finger to operate.

Different people use their fingers differently. In order to make the operator better operate the roller 2, the roller 2 can be set to the vertical direction as shown in FIG.

This way is more suitable for the direction and habit of the index finger, so that the index finger operation is more It is labor-saving and not easy to fatigue.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, a recess 6 is provided in the side edge region, and the roller 2 is located in the recess 6. Due to the characteristics of the physiological structure of the human hand, in order to make the hand more comfortable during operation, the upper contour of the housing of the mouse 1 can be designed as an upper convex curved surface, and the upper surface 3 of the housing of the mouse 1 is transitioned to the left side of the housing. The roller 2 is arranged in the side edge region of the 4, so that the upper portion of the contour of the roller 2 is higher than the side edge 5, so when the thumb is moved to the roller 2, the thumb needs to be moved to a higher position, and a larger movement is required. Distance, it may even be necessary to move the palm of the hand, so that the thumb and palm are in an unfavorable operating state, which is prone to fatigue. By arranging the roller 2 in the recess 6, the position of the roller 2 can be effectively reduced, and the height of the upper portion of the contour is also lowered accordingly, so that the thumb can be easily operated without moving too much distance, which is beneficial for reducing the thumb. Operating fatigue Degree.

In addition, the upper surface 3 of the housing of the mouse 1 and the side of the housing may be connected by a flat or convex surface, and the roller 2 is disposed in the connecting plane or convex surface.
