Description

Mouse pen technical field

The present invention relates to an auxiliary input device, and more particularly to a mouse pen.

Background technique

As a computer-aided input device, the optical mouse works as follows: Inside the optical mouse, there is a light-emitting diode through which the light emitted by the light-emitting diode illuminates the bottom surface of the optical mouse, and then the image of the bottom surface of the optical mouse passes through the optical lens. The component is transferred to an optical sensor for imaging. Thus, when the optical mouse moves, its movement trajectory is recorded as a coherent image of a group of high-speed shots. Finally, an array of microprocessors inside the optical mouse is used to analyze and process a series of images captured on the moving track. By analyzing the changes of the position of the feature points on the images, the moving direction and moving distance of the mouse are determined, thereby completing the cursor. Positioning.

In the spirit of perseverance, the applicant has been obsessed with the research and development of the optical pen mouse. In 1999, he applied for the Chinese patent ZL 99234963.X named "Pen Mouse", which provided a new use of the mouse. The method mainly comprises the rolling of a rolling ball to rub against the horizontal axis, the vertical axis and the top ball on the bracket, and the friction plate driving the rotating shaft contacting the horizontal axis and the vertical axis to drive the grating to rotate to obtain the cursor position signal. In 2001, the applicant also applied for a Chinese patent entitled "Optical Pen Mouse" by ZL 01246861.4, which mainly consists of longitudinally spaced stripes on the surface of the horizontal and vertical rollers, and the light emitted by the illuminating member is The stray stripes reflect or block, and the reflected light is transmitted to the receiver through the lens, and then processed by the circuit board and transmitted to the computer, which is reflected on the computer screen as the moving position of the cursor. Although these pen-type mice have been put on the market, they still have the following disadvantages: They all have components such as a ball, a horizontal axis, and a vertical axis. The structure is too complicated, the cost is high, and the production process is too much for production.

Currently, the photoelectric pen mouse on the market mainly includes a rod and a lower end connected to the barrel. In the pen holder, a corresponding circuit board is arranged in the pen holder, and a plurality of buttons are further arranged on the pen holder, and corresponding photoelectric components are arranged in the pen tip, and all the mouths are provided at the bottom end of the pen head for the light to be irradiated. On the sliding plane, since the user usually has a certain inclination when holding the pen, the slit is usually designed as a oblique cut so that the slit can be in close contact with the sliding plane. However, the pen tip of the photoelectric pen mouse cannot be rotated, so that the mouse can only be held at a certain angle. If the angle is changed to another angle, the oblique slit cannot be closely attached to the sliding plane, and the light irradiated on the sliding plane cannot be The fixed strength is not fixed with respect to the writing head and the sliding plane. The image on the sliding plane will maintain a normal distance when it is close to the plane. The lens will be clear, and the image will be clear when it is not close to the sliding plane. The focal length of the lens cannot be fixed, and the image is blurred, so the image cannot be correctly supplied to the receiving sensor in the pen head, and it cannot be used normally. Because each person's pen angle will change, relatively speaking, it can't be fixed at an angle. It is easy to cause hand fatigue. Once it is slightly angled, it can't be used smoothly like a traditional mouse. I can't imagine how to achieve random tilting at any angle or in any direction like a normal pen. This is also a major reason why the existing pen mouse has not been widely used. Summary of the invention

There are a plurality of buttons 11 on the pen holder 1, and the button 11 can include a left and right button, a page up and down button, and the like, which are common to the common mouse.

The pen tip 2 has a cavity (not shown), and the bottom end of the pen tip 2 is provided with a beveled slit 21. The top end of the pen tip 2 is pivotally coupled to the bottom end of the pen holder 1. There are a plurality of ways in which the pen tip 2 and the pen holder 1 are pivotally connected. As shown in FIG. 3, a pivot shaft 12 is disposed on each side of the bottom end of the pen holder 1, and a connecting ring 15 is further added. The pivot hole (not shown) is pivotally connected to the pivot 12 of the pen holder 1 , and the pivot 152 is disposed on the other side, and the pivot hole is correspondingly disposed on both sides of the pen tip 2 (not shown) Cooperating with the pivot 152 on the connecting ring to pivotally connect the pen tip 2 to the bottom end of the pen holder 1, and the pivot connecting the connecting ring 15 with the pen tip 2 is perpendicular to the pivot of the connecting ring 15 and the pen holder 1 axis. In order to ensure that the pen 1 is rotated to a certain angle, it can be fixed, and the pivot and the pivot hole between the pen 1 and the connecting ring 15 and between the connecting ring 15 and the pen head can be an interference fit, and the proper fit between the two Friction, so that the pen 1 can be kept relatively inactive with the pen head 2 after being pivoted at any angle within a certain range to facilitate normal use; or a positioning member (not shown) can be additionally installed to rotate in the pen holder 1 When the angle is reached, the positioning member ensures that the pen 1 and the pen tip 2 are not loose.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing another pivotal connection between the pen tip 2 and the pen holder 1 of the mouse pen of the present invention, which includes a sleeve 91, a touch switch 92, an upper joint 93, and a lower joint 94.

The sleeve 91 is mounted on the bottom of the sheath 1, and is vertically penetrated and fixed to the inner wall of the sheath 1. The touch switch 92 is mounted at the top opening of the sleeve 91. When the touch switch 92 is activated, the mouse pen can be used for writing or drawing, and when it is turned off, the mouse pen does not have writing or drawing functions.

The upper joint 93 includes a stem portion 931 at the top end and an inclusive spherical shell 932 at the bottom end of the stem portion 931, and an opening is formed in the bottom of the containing spherical shell 932. The rod portion 931 is inserted into the sleeve 91.

The lower joint 94 is mounted on the top of the pen tip 2, and mainly includes an upwardly extending connecting rod 941 and a connecting ball 942 at the top end of the connecting rod 941. The connecting ball 942 passes through the upper joint 93. The opening at the bottom of the containment spherical shell 932 is rollably received in the containment spherical shell 932 of the upper joint 93, and the connecting ball 942 and the containment spherical shell 932 together form a universal joint type connection, so that the connecting ball 942 can be Rotate at any angle within the containment spherical shell 932. And the diameter of the connecting ball 942 is larger than the diameter of the opening of the bottom of the containing spherical shell 932, so that the connecting ball 942 does not fall off from the containing spherical shell 932.

Of course, the position of the upper joint 93 and the lower joint 94 can also be interchanged, and the pen holder 1 and the pen tip 2 can be pivotally connected as well.

In use, the oblique slit 21 of the pen tip 2 slides against the sliding plane 7, and when the user holds the pen angle, the connecting ball 942 of the lower joint 94 at the top of the pen tip 2 can be correspondingly contained in the upper joint 93 at the bottom of the pen holder 1. The spherical shell 932 is rotated by a corresponding angle, so that the oblique slit 21 of the pen tip 2 can always fit closely with the sliding plane 7 to ensure normal use. Moreover, when the mouse pen is lifted and moved to another position to be lowered, when the pen tip 2 is lifted but has not left the sliding plane 7, the pen tip 2 together with the upper joint 93 and the lower joint 94 will fall downward under the weight of the upper joint, so that the upper joint The top end of the rod portion 931 of the 93 leaves the touch switch 92. At this time, the cursor of the mouse pen has only a sliding function, and does not have a writing or drawing function, and when the mouse pen is pressed again, the writing head 2 resists the sliding plane, and then The upper joint 93 is pushed up so that the rod portion 931 of the upper joint 93 abuts against the touch switch 92 again, so that the functions of sliding control, writing, drawing, and the like can be continued.

As shown in Fig. 5, it is a schematic diagram of another pivotal connection between the pen tip 2 of the mouse pen and the pen holder 1 of the present invention. The main feature is that the pen tip 2 and the pen holder 1 are connected by a hose 95 having a certain toughness.

The emitted light is transmitted to the bevel cut 21 of the pen tip 2 to be irradiated onto a sliding plane 7. The illuminating member 3 can adopt an infrared diode to avoid at night When not in use, it will still be disturbed by the nighttime illumination of the mouse pen. Of course, the illuminating member 3 can also be an ordinary light-emitting diode, so that it can have the feeling of shining at night.

The lens 4 is mounted inside the beveled slit 21 of the pen tip 2, and is adapted to receive an image of the light emitted from the light-emitting member 3 on the sliding plane 7. In this way, it is no longer necessary to adjust the reflection angle during production, so that the production time can be shortened, and the combined lens patent technology can be applied to replace the lenses of different focal lengths to fit the specifications of various mouse pens.

The receiving sensor 5 is mounted inside the lens 4 inside the pen tip 2, and is directly connected to the lens 4 or connected to the lens 4 via the optical fiber 51.

In the present embodiment, the circuit board 6 includes two sub-circuit boards 61, 62 which are respectively mounted in the pen holder 1 and the pen tip 2, and the two sub-circuit boards 61, 62 are connected by a flexible wire 63 so as to be in the pen holder.

The mouse pen can be a wireless mouse pen, and the pen holder 1 is further provided with a power source 81 and a signal transmission device 82. The power source 81 can be a battery case that can accommodate a plurality of batteries, or can be a rechargeable battery. The charging device corresponding to the top of the pen holder 1 can be directly inserted into a matching pen desktop charger by using the charging device at the top of the pen holder 1 when the user is not using it, and can be used at any time for convenient use, if used on a laptop computer. Of course, you can further design a pen-type charger on the computer to match, convenient to charge and use at any time, more convenient to carry, more widely used. The signal transmission device 82 transmits signals between the computer and the computer in a wireless manner (e.g., in the form of an infrared line).

The mouse pen can also be a wired mouse pen. At this time, the end of the pen holder 1 is further provided with a signal line (not shown) connected to the computer.

In addition, the mouse pen can also be equipped with a pen cap (not shown), which is set on the pen tip 2 of the mouse pen like a normal pen cap, so as to protect the pen tip 2 when the mouse pen is not used. In terms of aspect, a clip can be placed on the cap to facilitate carrying. In use, the light emitted by the illuminating member 3 is irradiated onto the sliding plane 7 through the slanting slit 21 and the image of the sliding plane 7 is supplied to the lens 4, and the signal is amplified by the lens 4 and transmitted to the receiving inductor 5, and Then, it is transmitted to the circuit board 6 for processing and converted into a position signal of the cursor and then input into the computer, and the reaction is the moving position of the cursor on the computer screen, thereby realizing free control of the cursor position on the computer screen. Since the pen holder 1 and the pen tip 2 are pivotally connected, the pen holder 1 can be pivoted to a position that the user feels comfortable to hold and positioned, so that it can be used by people of different usage habits, as shown in FIG. 2 .
