Description

Mouse suitable for holding and its shell structure

Technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of data input devices, in particular to a mouse suitable for holding and a shell structure thereof.

Background technique

When the palm is in the "rest position", all parts of the fingers and joints are in a balanced and stable state. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the specific performance is: with the wrist held horizontally and the palm down, the thumb is approximately straight, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger except the thumb are curved and close to each other , The thumb is placed on the side of the index finger, meanwhile, the bending degree of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger increases in turn.

The structure of a traditional mouse is: a left button, a scroll wheel, and a right button are provided at the front end of the casing. When using the mouse, the index finger and middle finger click the left and right buttons, respectively; the combined force of the three directions applied by the thumb, ring finger, little finger, and palm makes the mouse move. Because the buttons and palms of a traditional mouse are approximately on the same plane, when using the mouse, the other four fingers except the thumb can only be slightly curved or in an approximately straight state, and the feel is awkward when used.

Summary of the invention

Based on this, it is necessary to provide a mouse and its shell structure suitable for holding. When the shell structure is held, the palm can be at or near the "rest position". In this way, the mouse adopting the shell structure is comfortable to use when used.

When using the above mouse shell structure, place the bearing surface on the support surface, place the thumb on the first placement surface, place the proximal phalanx of the four fingers on the second placement surface, and place the middle of the four fingers The phalanx and distal phalanx are placed on the third placement surface. Since the first placement surface and the third placement surface are disposed at an acute angle, the third placement surface and the second placement surface are disposed at an angle, and the first placement surface is disposed toward the third placement surface relative to the bearing surface, and the second placement surface and the third placement surface The length of the intersection line of the three placement surfaces is greater than the length of the intersection line of the second placement surface and the first placement surface, so that the distal phalanx of the thumb, the distal phalanx of the ring finger, and the distal phalanx of the little finger can cooperate to hold the shell structure together to move , Any one of the four fingers, the middle phalanx and distal phalanx of the finger can be naturally curved relative to the proximal phalanx of the finger; it also makes the second placement surface appear "horizontal long and short" shape, suitable for placing four The proximal phalanx of the finger allows the palm to be at or approximately in the "rest position" and feels comfortable when used.

The technical solution is further explained below:

In one of the embodiments, the angle between the third placement surface and the second placement surface decreases in the direction from the index finger to the little finger. In this way, all parts of the fingers and joints are in a balanced and stable state, closer to the "rest position" state. When simplifying the design, adjacent angles can also be equal.

In one embodiment, in the direction from the index finger to the little finger, the proximal phalanx of the index finger, the proximal phalanx of the middle finger, the proximal phalanx of the ring finger, and the proximal phalanx of the little finger The sum of the widths of is matched with the width of the second placement surface. In this way, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger can be close to each other and on the same plane, closer to the "rest position" state.

In one of the embodiments, the housing structure further includes a first connection surface, the first connection surface is connected to both the first placement surface and the second placement surface, and the first connection surface is connected to the first The three placement surfaces are relatively spaced apart, and the distance H ₁ from the side of the second placement surface close to the first connection surface from the pressure bearing surface is not lower than that of the second placement surface close to the third placement surface The distance H ₂ from one side of the bearing surface. In this way, fatigue caused by the proximal phalanx of the four fingers can be avoided.

In one of the embodiments, the angle between the second placement surface and the bearing surface is

And

In this way, the palm is placed on the casing structure at an angle, and various parts can be attached to the surface of the casing structure, so that each part can be balanced in force.
