The application provides a translation type mouse key module and a mouse device with the translation type mouse key module. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, is a translational mouse key module of the present application; as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention is a mouse device with a translation-type mouse key module (hereinafter referred to as a mouse device).

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the translational type mouse key module (hereinafter, abbreviated as mouse key module) 100 of the present invention includes: a frame body 1, a key board 2, a push switch 3 and a side-by-side component 4. It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the key sheet 2 is an elongated plate body having a thickness and thus has a length in addition to the thickness; as further shown in fig. 3, the mouse key module 100 defines a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction D1 corresponds to the length direction of the keypad 2 (i.e., X-axis), and the second direction D2 corresponds to the thickness direction of the keypad 2 (i.e., Z-axis, so Y-axis corresponds to the width of the keypad 2).

The frame body 1 is used for mounting a key plate 2 and side-by-side members 4, and in one embodiment, a push switch 3. The frame 1 has at least a first frame connecting portion 11 and a second frame connecting portion 12. The number of the first frame connecting portions 11 may be one (not shown) or two (as shown in fig. 2), which is not limited in the present application; the number of the second frame connecting parts 12 may be one (as shown in fig. 2) or two (not shown), which is not limited in this application. In the following description, the number of the first frame connecting part 11 and the second frame connecting part 12 will be described with reference to only one.

The keypad 2 (i.e., a mouse key) is a plate body and has a first keypad connecting part 21, a second keypad connecting part 22 and a pressing part 23, and in one embodiment, the second keypad connecting part 22 is located between the first keypad connecting part 21 and the pressing part 23. In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the second keypad connecting part 22 may also be located before the pressing part 23, that is: the pressing part 23 will be located between the first and second

keypad connecting parts

21 and 22.

The push switch 3 is disposed corresponding to the push portion 23, in other words, the push switch 3 can be disposed on the frame body 1 as shown in fig. 1 to 4, or can be disposed directly on the circuit board 700 (not shown) as shown in fig. 5 in the mouse device of the present application. In one embodiment, the frame 1 further has a setting portion 13, and the push switch 3 is disposed on the setting portion 13, so that the push switch 3 and the mouse key module 100 can form a complete module, thereby having an accurate alignment and error-free effect between the push portion 23 and the later-described button 31 of the push switch 3. It should be noted that the push switch 3 has a button 31, the push portion 23 is correspondingly abutted to the button 31, and the button 31 is pressed through the push portion 23 to control the conduction (ON); the button 31 can be elastically reset, for example, an elastic component (not shown) is used to elastically reset the button 31 along the first direction D1, and the button is reset to non-conducting (OFF).

The parallel member 4 includes a first swing beam 41 and a second swing beam 42 which are arranged side by side, and as shown in fig. 3, the first swing beam 41 and the second swing beam 42 are arranged side by side at an interval in the second direction D2 and are shifted from each other in the first direction D1, thus forming an imaginary parallelogram. The first swing beam 41 is swingably bridged between the first frame body connecting portion 11 and the first key plate connecting portion 21, so that the first swing beam 41 can swing relative to the frame body 1 with the first frame body connecting portion 11 as an axis; the second swing beam 42 is swingably bridged between the second frame connecting portion 12 and the second key plate connecting portion 22, so that the second swing beam 42 can swing with respect to the frame 1 about the second frame connecting portion 12.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the second frame connecting part 12 is located between the first frame connecting part 11 and the button 31 (or the push switch 3) in the first direction D1, and the first frame connecting part 11 is located at a higher position in the second direction D2 than the second frame connecting part 12 and the button 31 (or the push switch 3) in the second direction D2. In this way, it is ensured that the key plate 2 is translated with respect to the frame body 1 via the oscillation of the side-by-side members 4.

Thereby, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the user presses the key board 2, the first swing beam 41 and the second swing beam 42 will swing with respect to the frame 1, and through such swinging, the key board 2 will be pulled and driven to translate with respect to the frame 1. In this way, the mouse key module 100 of the present invention has an effect of being easier to manufacture due to the less complex structure, and the user can press any point on the keypad 2 with a similar pressing force and a similar pressing stroke, so that the user can press the keypad 2 without particularly selecting a pressing part, thereby having a better pressing feeling.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the first swing beam 41 and the second swing beam 42 may only have the second swing beam 42 being a side-lying linear beam body (or simply referred to as beam body) 42a, and the first swing beam 41 having two side-lying linear beam bodies (or simply referred to as beam bodies) 41a that are spaced apart from each other, side by side and connected to each other; in other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the first swing beam 41 and the second swing beam 42 may also be both of two side-lying

linear beam bodies

41a, 42a that are spaced apart from each other and are connected to each other. When the number of the first frame body connecting parts 11 is two as shown in fig. 2, the first swing beam 41 (including a connecting part 41b and two beam bodies 41 a) as shown in fig. 2 is applied, so that the swing of the side-by-side members 4 is more stable. In the following description, the first swing beam 41 and the second swing beam 42 are each described in the form of a

straight beam body

41a, 42a (not shown) lying on one side as the most basic form.

Note that the first swing beam 41 shown in fig. 2 is connected between two beam bodies 41a by a connecting member 41 b.

In detail, the key sheet 2 has an inner surface (reference numeral is not shown) on which the pressing portion 23 is formed. In one embodiment, a first extension arm 2a and a second extension arm 2b may also be formed on the inner surface. The first and second

keypad connecting parts

21 and 22 may be formed at the extended end of the first extension arm 2a and the extended end of the second extension arm 2b, respectively, but the present application is not limited to the positions where the first and second

keypad connecting parts

21 and 22 are formed at the extension arms (2 a and 2 b).

Furthermore, the pressing portion 23 and the first extension arm 2a and the second extension arm 2b can extend from the inner surface along the second direction D2 as shown in fig. 2 and 3; alternatively, the first extension arm 2a may extend from the periphery of the key pad 2 (not shown); in one embodiment, the first extension arm 2a extends from the inner surface of the key board 2 along the second direction D2, and then bends to extend along the first direction D1 (so that the first extension arm 2a forms an L shape), as shown in fig. 2.

In addition, the frame body 1 may further have a protruding arm 1a protruding along the second direction D2, and the second frame body connecting portion 12 may be formed on the protruding arm 1 a.

Further, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the first swing beam 41 has two first butting portions 411, and the aforementioned first frame body connecting portion 11 and the first key plate connecting portion 21 are rotatably connected to the two first butting portions 411 of the first swing beam 41, respectively; the second swing beam 42 has two second docking portions 422, and the aforementioned second frame body coupling portion 12 and the second key plate coupling portion 22 are rotatably coupled to the two second docking portions 422 of the second swing beam 42, respectively.

It should be noted that the side-by-side member 4 is connected between the key board 2 and the frame body 1, so that the side-by-side member 4 can properly pull the key board 2. In this way, even if there is an improper gap (not shown) between the pressing portion 23 and the button 31 due to tolerance problem, the mouse key module 100 of the present application can pull the key sheet 2 by the side-by-side members 4 to pull the key sheet 2 together with the pressing portion 23 thereof toward the push switch 3 to eliminate the improper gap, and even eliminate the noise of the key sheet 2 due to shaking or vibration at the same time.

As shown in fig. 5 in conjunction with fig. 1 and 2, the mouse device with a translational mouse button module (i.e. the mouse device for short) of the present application includes: a housing 800 and at least one translational type mouse key module (i.e., the mouse key module for short) 100. The mouse device of the present application is not limited to be provided with several mouse key modules 100, and two examples are illustrated in the present embodiment.

The housing 800 is provided with two openings 8. Both mouse key modules 100 are disposed in the housing 800 such that the key plates 2 are closed side by side with respect to the openings 8, i.e., both key plates 2 are exposed through the openings 8. The circuit board 700 is also disposed in the housing 800. The push switch 3 may be disposed on the circuit board 700 (not shown), or disposed on the disposing portion 13 of the frame 1 as shown in fig. 2 and 3.

It is noted that the keypad 2 of each mouse key module 100 is completely separated from the housing 800, that is: the key board 2 can not only swing up and down by taking the connecting part as an axis because of being connected with the shell as in the prior art, and the key board 2 of the application can be pulled and driven by the side-by-side components 4 to move in a translation way.

To sum up, the translational mouse key module and the mouse device with the translational mouse key module can achieve the expected use purpose and solve the defects in the prior art.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present application are included in the scope of the present application, and are fully apparent.
