Abstract

A mouse includes a housing, a circuit board received in the housing, and a battery chamber received in the housing and configured for receiving a battery therein. The circuit board includes a USB mouse operating circuit, a charging circuit and a USB connector. The USB mouse operating circuit and the charging circuit are both connected to the USB connector. The battery chamber includes at least one charging connector connected to the charging circuit. The charging connector connects the charging circuit with the battery received in the battery chamber.

Claims (24)

1. A mouse, comprising:

a housing;

a circuit board received in the housing, the circuit board including a USB mouse operating circuit, a charging circuit and a USB connector, the USB mouse operating circuit and the charging circuit both connected to the USB connector;

a battery chamber received in the housing and configured for receiving a battery therein, the battery chamber including at least one charging connector connected to the charging circuit; and

a supporting mechanism connected to the housing, the battery chamber detachably held in the supporting mechanism;

wherein the charging connector connects the charging circuit with the battery received in the battery chamber.

2. The mouse as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a cover and a main body, the cover detachably assembled to the main body.

3. The mouse as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting mechanism includes a supporting board connected to the housing and a holding frame formed on the supporting board, and the battery chamber is received in the holding frame.

4. The mouse as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the supporting mechanism further includes a fixing member, the fixing member including a connecting protrusion formed on the supporting board and a fixing component rotatably mounted on the connecting protrusion, the fixing component holding the battery chamber in the holding frame.

5. The mouse as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the battery chamber further includes a battery tray and a receiving frame formed on the battery tray for receiving the battery therein, the charging connector mounted on the receiving frame.

6. The mouse as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fixing component holds the battery received in the receiving frame.

7. The mouse as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the circuit board further includes at least one charging connector connected to the charging circuit, and the charging connector of the circuit board is connected to the charging connector of the battery chamber when the battery chamber is held in the holding frame.

8. A mouse connected to a USB interface of a computer for operating the computer, comprising:

a housing;

a circuit board received in the housing, the circuit board including a USB mouse operating circuit, a charging circuit and a USB connector, the USB mouse operating circuit and the charging circuit both connected to the USB connector;

a battery chamber receiving a battery therein and connecting the battery with the charging circuit; and

a supporting mechanism connected to the housing, the battery chamber detachably held in the supporting mechanism;

wherein the USB connector is connected to the USB interface for operating the computer by the USB mouse operating circuit, and the computer charges the battery by the USB connector, the charging circuit, and the battery chamber.

9. The mouse as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the housing includes a cover and a main body, the cover detachably assembled to the main body.

10. The mouse as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the supporting mechanism includes a supporting board connected to the housing and a holding frame formed on the supporting board, and the battery chamber is received in the holding frame.

11. The mouse as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the supporting mechanism further includes a fixing member, the fixing member including a connecting protrusion formed on the supporting board and a fixing component rotatably mounted on the connecting protrusion, the fixing component holding the battery chamber in the holding frame.

12. The mouse as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the battery chamber includes a battery tray, a receiving frame formed on the battery tray for receiving the battery therein, and at least one charging circuit mounted on the receiving frame and connected the battery received in the receiving frame with the charging circuit.

13. The mouse as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the fixing component holds the battery received in the receiving frame.

14. The mouse as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the circuit board further includes at least one charging connector connected to the charging circuit, and the charging connector of the circuit board is connected to the charging connector of the battery chamber when the battery chamber is held in the holding frame.
