Abstract

A mouse includes a casing, a roller wheel, a gear, a knob, a sliding block, a connecting bar, and a arm member. The roller wheel is rotatably mounted in the casing. The gear is fixed on a side face of the roller wheel. The knob is rotatably mounted on a base plate of the casing. The sliding block is slidably disposed on the base plate, and disposed between the roller wheel and a rotation shaft of the knob. The connecting bar is respectively pivotally connected to the rotation shaft of the knob and the sliding block. A middle section of the arm member is abuted on the sliding block. A distal end of a tail section of the arm member interferes with the gear. When the knob is turned in a rotation direction , the knob actuates the sliding block by the connecting bar to slide back and forth toward the roller wheel. Moreover, the sliding block actuates the middle section and the tail section of the arm member such that the distal end of the tail section of the arm member reciprocally moves toward and away from the gear.

Description

滑鼠mouse

本發明係關於一種滑鼠，並且特別是關於操作滾輪相關的棘輪力(ratcheting force)可往復且無段式調整之滑鼠。The present invention relates to a mouse, and more particularly to a mouse in which the ratcheting force associated with operating the scroll wheel can be reciprocated and steplessly adjusted.

隨著資料處理系統其輸入周邊裝置不斷地發展，滑鼠仍是多數資料處理系統不可或缺的輸入周邊裝置。藉由滑鼠用以執行資料處理系統的顯示器上的游標操作、定位點選等功能以及資料處理系統因應滑的滾輪轉動量進而執行特定的控制指令，例如，顯示器上視窗的捲動、圖片縮放或音量的調整等。With the continuous development of input peripheral devices of data processing systems, the mouse is still an indispensable input peripheral device for most data processing systems. The mouse is used to execute functions such as cursor operation, positioning and clicking on the display of the data processing system, and the data processing system executes specific control commands in response to the rotation amount of the sliding wheel, such as scrolling of windows on the display and zooming in and out of pictures or volume adjustment, etc.

已有先前技術之滑鼠的滾輪，其側面具有凹陷，凹陷相對於滾輪的圓周之側壁成波紋表面。先前技術之滑鼠內會裝設對滾輪造成干涉的干涉構件，以提供操作滾輪相關的棘輪力。干涉構件干涉滾輪內的波紋表面，使得滾輪每轉動一圈會呈現複數次段落感。操作滾輪的段落感可提供類似刻度的功能。There are prior art scroll wheels for mice whose sides have recesses that corrugate the side walls relative to the circumference of the scroll wheel. An interference member that interferes with the scroll wheel is installed in the mouse of the prior art to provide the ratchet force associated with operating the scroll wheel. The interference member interferes with the corrugated surface inside the roller, so that each time the roller rotates, it will present a sense of paragraphs multiple times. The segment feel of the operating scroll wheel provides a scale-like function.

然而，先前技術之滑鼠的滾輪顯然結構複雜，其製造成本也較高。However, the scroll wheel of the prior art mouse obviously has a complicated structure, and its manufacturing cost is also relatively high.

此外，已有先前技術之滑鼠對於操作滾輪相關的棘輪力可以調整，也就是干涉構件的末端與滾輪內的波紋表面之間的距離可以調整，使得所執行的特定控制指令可因應操作滾輪的段落感而產生執行程度的差別。例如，當干涉構件的末端接觸滾輪內的波紋表面時，轉動滾輪且每產生一次段落感時，資料處理系統執行對顯示器上視窗進行捲動三行。當干涉構件的末端不與滾輪內的波紋表面接觸時，滾輪的轉動則不受干涉構件的干涉而會持續一段時間，也就是滾輪係以平滑無段落感的方式轉動，使得所執行的特定控制命令可直接執行最大程度之指令。例如，當使用者操作滑鼠的滾輪欲將顯示器上視窗由最上方捲動到最下方時，可不需反覆撥動滾輪而使其轉動，其僅需撥動滾輪一次，顯示器上視窗即可持續進行捲動，直至顯示器上視窗捲動到使用者所需的位置時再停止滾輪的轉動。In addition, prior art mice have an adjustable ratchet force associated with operating the scroll wheel, that is, the distance between the tip of the interfering member and the corrugated surface inside the scroll wheel can be adjusted so that specific control commands are executed in response to the operating scroll wheel. There is a difference in the degree of execution due to the sense of paragraph. For example, when the end of the interference member touches the corrugated surface inside the roller, when the roller is rotated and every time a sense of paragraph is generated, the data processing system performs scrolling of the window on the display for three lines. When the end of the interfering member is not in contact with the corrugated surface inside the roller, the rotation of the roller will continue for a period of time without interference from the interfering member, that is, the roller system will rotate in a smooth and non-segmented manner, so that the specific control performed Commands can be directly executed to the greatest extent possible. For example, when the user operates the scroll wheel of the mouse to scroll the window on the display from the top to the bottom, it does not need to repeatedly toggle the scroll wheel to make it rotate, it only needs to toggle the scroll wheel once, and the window on the display can continue Scroll until the window on the display scrolls to the desired position of the user and then stop the rotation of the scroll wheel.

然而，先前技術之滑鼠用以調整操作滾輪相關的棘輪力之調整裝置皆相當複雜，甚至有先前技術之滑鼠採用馬達來驅動干涉構件。並且，先前技術之滑鼠用以調整棘輪力之調整裝置皆是單向且階段式調整，而非往復且無段式調整。所以，即便先前技術之滑鼠用以調整棘輪力之調整裝置設計成手動式操作，不但讓使用者操作不便，還可能發生調整裝置被鎖死的情形。However, the adjustment devices for adjusting the ratchet force associated with operating the scroll wheel in prior art mice are quite complicated, and some prior art mice even use motors to drive the interfering members. Moreover, the adjustment devices used for adjusting the ratchet force of the mouse in the prior art are all one-way and stepwise adjustments, rather than reciprocating and stepless adjustments. Therefore, even if the adjusting device used for adjusting the ratchet force of the prior art mouse is designed to be manually operated, it not only makes the operation inconvenient for the user, but also may cause the adjusting device to be locked.

因此，本發明所欲解決之一技術問題在於提供一種操作滾輪相關的棘輪力可往復且無段式調整之滑鼠，讓使用者操作棘輪力的調整便利。並且，根據本發明之滑鼠的滾輪結構簡單。Therefore, one technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mouse in which the ratchet force related to the operation roller can be reciprocated and steplessly adjusted, so that the user can easily adjust the ratchet force. Moreover, the scroll wheel of the mouse according to the present invention has a simple structure.

The first axial direction 110 of the roller 11 is coaxial with the second axial direction 120 of the gear 12 . It should be emphasized that, unlike the prior art mouse, the first side 112 of the scroll wheel 11 according to the present invention does not have to form a depression, let alone form a corrugated surface in the scroll wheel 11 . Obviously, the roller 11 according to the present invention is simple in structure.

The second end 154 of the connecting rod 15 is pivotally connected to the recess 144 of the slider 14 .

於一具體實施例中，同樣如圖4所示，滑塊14的凹陷144之寬度係隨著朝向旋鈕13的轉動軸132之方向而隨之遞增。In a specific embodiment, as also shown in FIG. 4 , the width of the recess 144 of the slider 14 gradually increases toward the direction of the rotation axis 132 of the knob 13 .

根據本發明之臂狀構件16，僅僅臂狀構件16的尾段164之末端係對齒輪12造成干涉。為避免臂狀構件16對其他元件、構件造成干涉，於一具體實施例中，如圖4所示，臂狀構件16的中間段162與頭段160之間之第一夾角係小於180度。According to the arm member 16 of the present invention, only the end of the tail section 164 of the arm member 16 interferes with the gear 12 . In order to prevent the arm member 16 from interfering with other elements and members, in a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , the first included angle between the middle section 162 and the head section 160 of the arm member 16 is less than 180 degrees.
