Mouse pen and photoelectric control switch thereof
First Claim
1. A photoelectric control switch, being set to a mouse device, wherein the photoelectric control switch comprises a control rod which is disposed in a shell and can traverse between an on-position and an off-position, an optical coupling sensor disposed neared an extended end of the control rod and electrically connected with a control circuit board of the mouse device, and an elastic element which is used f(r resetting the control rod;
- the control rod comprises a first end which is close to the optical coupling sensor and is equipped with a reflection element and a second end which is far away from the optical coupling sensor and is used for driving the control rod to be close to the optical coupling sensor;
the shell defines an orifice for protruding the second end;
the optical coupling sensor comprises a light emitter and a light receiver, when the control rod is set on the on-position, light emitting from the light emitter can be received by the light receiver after being reflected by the reflection element, while the control rod is set on the off-position, the light receiver can not receive the light emitting from the light emitter and reflected by the reflection element;
wherein the reflection element is a reflection cap being worn on the first end of the control rod;
the reflection cap comprises a cap top, cap edge, and cap body connected between the cap top and the cap edge;
an outer surface of the cap top is equipped with a reflection layer;
a first limit block fixed relative to the shell is disposed between the optical coupling sensor and the cap edge;
the elastic element is fitted on the cap body with both ends thereof respectively abutting against the first limit block and the cap edge;
the shell configures a second limit block corresponding to the second end; and
the control rod at middle section thereof is equipped with a stop part which is engaged with the second limit block so as to limit a movement of the control rod.

Abstract
A mouse pen and a photoelectric control switch thereof are provided, the photoelectric control switch includes a control rod in a shell moving between on-position and off-position, an optical coupling sensor comprising a light emitter and light receiver disposed on an extension line of the control rod, and an elastic element for resetting the control rod. The control rod includes a first end near the optical coupling sensor and equipped with a reflection element, and a second end for driving the control rod towards the optical coupling sensor which protrudes an orifice of the shell; at the on-position, light emitting from the light emitter is received by the light receiver after being reflected by the reflection element, while at the off-position, light cannot be received. The photoelectric control switch implements non-contact on/off controlling with the optical coupling sensor and the control rod, responses sensitively, and has longer lifetime.
