Abstract

A translational mouse button structure and a mouse having the same are provided. The mouse includes a casing and a mouse button structure arranged in the casing. The mouse button structure may include: a button board, a support member, a cross member and a circuit board provided with a pressing switch. The cross member may be bridged between the button board and the support member by means of translational movement, and respectively provided with a first support group, a second support group and a corresponding support group that are pivotally connected. The button board may be inclined relative to the support member and abuts against the pressing switch, allowing translation along with the cross member. Therefore, any point on the button board can be pressed with the same pressing pressure and the same pressing stroke.

Claims (33)

1 . A translational mouse button structure comprising:

a circuit board;

a pressing switch, which is arranged on the circuit board and comprises a button;

a button board, which comprises a pressing part and is provided with two first support groups;

a support member, which is arranged on the circuit board and comprises two second support groups; and

a cross member, which is movably bridged between the button board and the support member in translation and is provided with a plurality of corresponding support groups, wherein the button board is inclined relative to the support member, the plurality of corresponding support groups are respectively rotatably connected to the two first support groups and the two second support groups, the pressing part correspondingly abuts against the button, and the button board moves in translation along with the cross member.

2 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a board body, a long bracket and a short bracket, the board body is inclined relative to the support member, both the long bracket and the short bracket protrude from one side of the board body toward the support member, and the two first support groups are respectively disposed on protruding ends of the long bracket and the short bracket.

3 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 2 , wherein the support member is relatively perpendicular to the long bracket and the short bracket, and the board body, the long bracket, the short bracket and the support member together form a right-angled trapezoid.

4 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cross member comprises an inner frame and an outer frame, the inner frame is rotatably connected to the outer frame and the inner frame and an outer frame cross each other, one end of the inner frame and one end of the outer frame together are provided with at least two corresponding support groups, and another end of the inner frame and another end of the outer frame together are provided with the remaining at least two corresponding support groups.

5 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cross member comprises a first through hole, and the pressing switch is arranged in the first through hole.

6 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 1 , wherein the support member further comprises a base body, the base body comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the base body is arranged on the circuit board with the second surface, and the two second support groups are arranged on the first surface of the base body.

7 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 6 , wherein the base body is provided with a second through hole, and the pressing switch is exposed from the second through hole.

8 . The translational mouse button structure according to claim 1 , wherein the button is a button that can be elastically reset.

9 .

11 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the button board is completely separated from the casing.

12 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the mouse device comprises at least two translational mouse button structures, wherein each of the two translational mouse button structures comprises a button board, and wherein the button boards of the two translational mouse button structures are exposed together through an opening.

13 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the translational mouse button structure further comprises a board body, a long bracket and a short bracket, the board body is inclined relative to the support member, both the long bracket and the short bracket protrude from one side of the board body toward the support member, and the two first support groups are respectively disposed on protruding ends of the long bracket and the short bracket.

14 . The mouse device according to claim 13 , wherein the support member is relatively perpendicular to the long bracket and the short bracket, and the board body, the long bracket, the short bracket and the support member together form a right-angled trapezoid.

15 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the cross member comprises an inner frame and an outer frame, the inner frame is rotatably connected to the outer frame and the inner frame and outer frame cross each other, one end of the inner frame and one end of the outer frame together are provided with at least two corresponding support groups, and another end of the inner frame and another end of the outer frame together are provided with the remaining at least two corresponding support groups.

16 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the cross member comprises a first through hole, and the pressing switch is arranged in the first through hole.

17 . The mouse device according to claim 10 , wherein the support member further comprises a base body, the base body comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the base body is arranged on the circuit board with the second surface, and the two second support groups are arranged on the first surface of the base body.

18 . The mouse device according to claim 17 , wherein the base body is provided with a second through hole, and the pressing switch is exposed from the second through hole.
