The button device includes a circuit board and a button, and the button includes a pressing member and a body connected to the pressing member, the rod body having a rack. The reset assembly f includes a push base, (4) a rotating shaft connected to the fixed seat, a gear 1 shouting on the rotating shaft, and a torsion spring, the gear is coupled to the rack, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed On the support and the gear. Pressing the pressing member 'the rod body is in contact with the circuit board and driving the gear to rotate, the torsion spring is elastically deformed; II opens the pressing member, the torsion spring resets the gear to rotate 'and the rod body and the circuit board disconnect. Pressing the pressing member can make the rod body plate, and release the pressing member. The mouse is disconnected from the circuit by the torsion spring and the gear to realize the reset. This type of mouse differs from the existing mouse in that it is brought into contact and disconnected by pressing and releasing the shrapnel, but by gear engagement and torsion spring deformation and reset. As a result, the mouse has a longer life and more reliable performance. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a mouse 1 is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The mouse 100 includes a first body device and a second button device 30, and a first reset device 4A and a second reset device 50, which are disposed in the body 1 . The first button device 20 and the second button device 3 are respectively a left button and a right button of the mouse 100. 099145023 Form No. A0101 Page 5 of 13 0992077736-0 201227416 [The housing 1G includes an upper casing 11 and a bottom plate 12 that cooperates with the upper casing 11 [0012] g-key device 2 includes Circuit board 21 and button 22. The circuit board is placed on the slab bottom plate 12. In the present embodiment, the circuit board 21 has a contact member 214 thereon. The contact 214 is electrically connected to the circuit inside the mouse 1 G0. When the contact 2 is pressed, the circuit inside the mouse 100 is turned on, and when the contact 214 is released, the internal circuit of the mouse 1 is disconnected. Chen 3] «The key 22 includes a pressing member 224 and a rod 225 connected to the pressing member 2 24 . The rod body 225 is a body having a rack 226 on the side wall of the rod body 225. The direction in which the rod body 225 extends corresponds to the contact member 214 on the circuit board 21. When the pressing member 224 is pressed, the lever body 225 comes into contact with the contact member 214 on the circuit board 21, thereby turning on the circuit inside the mouse 1. The first resetting device 40 includes a support base 41, a rotating shaft 42 pivotally disposed on the support base 41, a gear 43 fixed to the rotating shaft 42, and a torsion spring 44 connecting the gear 43 and the rotating shaft 42. [0015] The support base 41 includes two opposite support units, one end of each support unit is fixed to the bottom plate 12 of the housing 10, and the other end is used for pivotally connecting the rotary shaft 42. Both ends of the slanting shaft 42 are pivotally connected to one end of the supporting unit remote from the bottom plate 12. The gear 43 is fixed in the middle of the rotating shaft. Therefore, the rotation of the gear 43 can drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The gear 43 meshes with the rack 226. [0016] In the embodiment, the first re-setting device 40 Two torsion springs 44 are included. The 099145023 Form No. A0101 Page 6 / Total 13 Page 0992077736-0 201227416 Two torsion springs 44 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft 42. One end of each torsion spring 44 is fixed at The other end of the support base 41 is fixed to the rotating shaft 42. It can be understood that the two ends of the torsion spring 44 can also be respectively fixed on the support base 41 and the gear 43. [0017] The second button device The structure of the second button device 20 is the same as that of the first button device 20; the structure of the second device 40 is the same as that of the first device 40. The first button device 20 of the mouse 100 and the first device 40 are not repeated here. When the pressing member 224 is pressed, the rod body 225 is moved downward to contact the contact member 214 on the circuit board 21, thereby passing through the circuit inside the mouse cymbal 100 to achieve a corresponding function. 22 5 drives the gear 43 through the rack 226 The rotating shaft 42 rotates counterclockwise with respect to the support base 41, and the torsion spring 44 is elastically deformed by a rotational moment. [0018] When the pressing member 224 is released, the torsion spring 44 is no longer stressed and is reset. The rotation of the torsion spring 44 causes the gear 43 to rotate clockwise with the rotating shaft 42. The rotation of the gear 43 drives the rod 225 to move upward to be disconnected from the contact 214 on the circuit board 21. 0 [0019] The mouse The working principle of the second button device 30 and the second reset device 50 of 100 is the same as that of the first button device 20 and the first button device 40 of the mouse 100, and the discussion is not repeated here. [0020] Unlike the existing mouse, the contact and disconnection are achieved by pressing and releasing the elastic piece, but by the engagement of the rack and the deformation and reset of the torsion spring. Therefore, the mouse 100 has a longer service life and more reliable performance. [0021] In summary, the present invention meets the requirements of the invention patent, and the patent application is filed according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as 099145023 Form No. A0101 Page 7 / Total 13 Page 0992077736-0 201227416 The equivalent modifications or variations of the present invention in the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the following claims.
