Adjustable mouse foot pad device and its mouse 【0001】

 The invention relates to a computer peripheral, in particular to an adjustable mouse foot pad device and a mouse.

【0002】

 The convenience brought by computers today is not limited to the processing of the past calculations and documents. For example, video games and other industries are gradually relying on computers, and also meet the needs of video gamers, such as mice and keyboards. The perimeter must also be improved and improved in response to the needs of video gamers.

[0003]

 In addition to the operation of the cursor displacement and point selection, the traditional mouse is the most important thing to control the feel when moving the mouse. In general, in order to make good results in the game, the general video game player has higher requirements for the handling of the mobile mouse. One of the factors that affect the handling feel of the mobile mouse is the friction between the mouse and the mouse pad (or the desktop). The key component is the mouse pad on the bottom of the mouse; When the mouse is used, it will rub against the mouse pad (or the desktop) through the mouse pad, so the mouse pad plays an important role. As in the case of the new patent No. M305390, "Mouse for Changeable Pads", the main method is to install at least one replacement plate on the bottom of the mouse case, and a plurality of foot pads are provided on both sides of the replacement plate to The foot pad is replaced by flipping the replacement plate so that the user can continue to replace the new pad on the other side after the pad on one side of the replacement plate is worn.

 The detailed description of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are to be understood by the accompanying claims .

[0029]

 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the mouse of the present invention. The invention provides an adjustable mouse foot pad device and a mouse thereof. The mouse foot pad device 2 is arranged in a mouse for replacing, adjusting or selecting the foot pad of the mouse. The mouse includes a mouse housing 1 and at least one of the mouse foot pad devices 2 disposed in the mouse housing 1; wherein:

[0030]

 The mouse housing 1 is a shell portion of a general mouse, and the top of the housing is for human hand holding while the bottom portion is substantially planar. In the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the mouse housing 1 is provided with a plurality of foot pad holes 10, and a sliding portion protruding in the foot pad hole 10 is disposed in each of the foot pad holes 10. 11. The foot pad of the mouse is passed through the foot pad hole 10 and floated on the sliding portion 11.

[0031]

 The mouse foot pad device 2 mainly includes a driving wheel 20, a foot pad belt 21 driven by the driving wheel 20, and a stopping mechanism for restricting rotation of the driving wheel 20. Wherein, the driving wheel 20 is pivoted at a suitable place in the mouse housing 1 and can be rotated by a tool such as a screwdriver (not shown) into the mouse housing 1 to rotate the driving wheel 20; In the embodiment, the support housing 100 can be extended from the bottom of the mouse housing 1 for the drive transmission 20 to be pivoted on the support portion 100. The foot pad belt 21 is in the form of a continuously connected endless belt. When the driving wheel 20 rotates, the foot pad belt 21 can be driven to operate, and the running foot pad belt 21 is partially or partially exposed by the bottom of the mouse. Further, as a foot pad of the mouse, for example, a part of the foot pad 21 passes through the foot pad hole 10 of the mouse case 1 and is placed on the sliding portion 11 in a floating manner. In addition, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the positioning of the foot pad 21, the stopping mechanism is used to restrict the rotation of the driving wheel 20, and in the embodiment of the invention, the stopping mechanism comprises a driving wheel 20 a coaxially and synchronously rotatable ratchet 22, and a stopper 23 that is engaged with the ratchet 22 to make the ratchet 22 unable to rotate, and the stopper 23 can be externally inserted into the interior of the mouse housing 1 to restrict the ratchet For example, the bottom of the mouse housing 1 is provided with a through hole 12 for the passage of the stopper 23, and the stopper 23 can be a latch.

[0032]

 Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, the mouse foot pad device 2 can be configured according to the actual number of pads of the mouse; generally, the bottom of the mouse usually has four foot pads, and the single group of mouse feet The pad device 2 can provide at least one or two foot pads, so that two sets of mouse foot pad devices 2 can be disposed in the mouse housing 1 to meet general needs. The foot pad belt 21 of the present invention is constructed by forming a foot pad into a continuously connected endless belt shape, for example, by laminating a layer of a Teflon crawler such as rubber as a material of a mouse foot pad. According to FIG. 3, the floor mat 21 can be divided into a plurality of sections 210, 211, 212, and 213 according to the strip direction, and each of the sections 210, 211, 212, and 213 can be different (different The coefficient of friction, or the friction coefficients of the at least partially adjacent sections 210, 211, 212, 213 are different (different), so that the user can adjust the mouse foot pad device 2 when the foot pad is Sections 210, 211, 212, and 213 of the belt 21 are selected to have a coefficient of friction suitable for the operation of the hand. In addition, if the sections 210, 211, 212, and 213 of the different friction coefficients are not provided on the floor mat 21, the user can conveniently use a certain section (such as the section 210) to wear out. The mouse foot pad assembly 2 is adjusted to replace other segments (such as segments 211, 212 or 213, etc.) for continued use.

[0033]

 As shown in FIG. 2, it should be noted that, in a possible embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of sections 210, 211, 212, and 213 disposed in the footpad belt 21 have different phases. A characteristic pattern of different), for example, a feature pattern of different (different) roughness may be disposed on a surface corresponding to the operation of the mouse 210, 211, 212, 213 exposed to the foot pad 10; For example, it is designed with different (different) textures, frosted, perforated, embossed embossed particles/embossing, etc., and can also be coated with different (different) colors for use. The identification is facilitated by replacement; however, it is not limited to the examples given above. Therefore, the adjustable mouse foot pad device of the present invention and the mouse thereof can be obtained by the above-described structural composition.

[0034]

 Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, when the other sections of the above-mentioned foot pad 21 are to be replaced, adjusted or selected, it is only necessary to disengage the stopper 23 from the ratchet 22 so that the driving wheel 20 can be freely rotated, and then A tool such as a driver (not shown) extends into the mouse housing 1 to rotate the driving wheel 20, so that the foot pad 21 can be driven to operate until the desired section is exposed to the foot pad 10, or floated. It is disposed on the sliding portion 11 and then the stopper 23 is limited to the ratchet 22 to prevent the driving wheel 20 from rotating. In order to facilitate the operation of the foot pad 21, the present invention can further provide a plurality of turning portions 13 in the mouse housing 1 for the foot pad 21 to be placed on the driving wheel 20, the sliding portion 11, and the turning portions 13 On, make it work better.

[0035]

 Furthermore, the above-mentioned mouse foot pad device 2 may further comprise a directional structure, which may be a pawl 24 for restricting the ratchet wheel 22 from rotating in a single direction and preventing the ratchet wheel 22 from reversing. In this way, when the user wants to replace the unused section on the floor mat 21, the user will not be replaced by the old used section due to the wrong direction, and the user can immediately recognize the response driving wheel. The direction of rotation of 20.
