Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of game console technology, specifically a multi-directional two-handed game controller. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional game console two-hand game controllers mainly consist of a handle, buttons, contacts, and microswitches. The buttons or handle drive the contacts to activate the microswitches, thereby controlling the direction. Because the handle switches use mechanical contact switches, specifically microswitches, the contacts oxidize after a period of use, easily leading to poor contact and eventual failure. This results in a short lifespan, requiring frequent replacement of the microswitches to resolve the issue. Furthermore, the use of mechanical contact switches results in relatively low signal output speed and sensitivity, as well as insufficient return speed and accuracy, which can easily cause directional control delays and inaccuracies during use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a multi-directional two-handed game controller that can output directional signals in multiple directions, is stable in operation, has a long service life, is portable in operation, has fast and relatively uniform and sensitive signal output, and has a rapid and accurate return to position.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A multi-directional two-handed game controller includes a base and a rotating base. The rotating base and the base are rotatably connected via a vertical rotating joint. A first return spring is provided between the rotating base and the base to allow the rotation angle of the rotating base and the base to return to its initial state under natural conditions. The rotating base is equipped with a handle assembly, a guide frame, a Hall circuit board capable of generating a Hall effect, and a sensing magnet. The handle assembly includes a handle shaft arranged laterally and rotatably connected to the rotating base, and handles fixedly mounted at both ends of the handle shaft. A second return spring is provided between the handle assembly and the rotating base to allow the rotation angle of the handle assembly and the rotating base to return to its initial state under natural conditions. The guide frame is fixedly connected to the rotating base. The Hall circuit board is slidably connected to the guide frame via a lateral sliding joint. A vertical rod parallel to the vertical rotating joint is fixedly provided on the base. The Hall circuit board is rotatably connected to the vertical rod. The sensing magnet is fixedly connected to the handle shaft and located above the Hall circuit board. By rotating the rotating base or the handle, the sensing magnet and the Hall circuit board can generate relative motion in different directions, thereby generating a Hall magnetic field sensing signal. The Hall circuit board is used to output the received Hall magnetic field sensing signal to a processor.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical rotating pair includes a rotating shaft and a bushing that cooperate with each other. The rotating shaft is vertically fixedly connected to the base, and the bushing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat. The two ends of the guide frame are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat by two vertical fixing pins. There are two first return springs, both of which are arranged horizontally. One end of each of the two first return springs is connected to a fixing pin, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the number of the second return springs is at least one and all are vertically arranged, with one end of each second return spring connected to the handle shaft and the other end connected to the guide frame.

[0008] Preferably, the movable pair includes a slide rail disposed on the guide frame and a slider fixedly connected to the Hall circuit board, the slider being slidably connected to the slide rail, and the vertical rod being rotatably connected to the slider.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating base has a box-shaped structure, and the Hall circuit board, the inductive magnet, the guide frame, the handle shaft, the first reset spring and the second spring are all located inside the rotating base. The vertical rod extends into the rotating base, and the bottom of the rotating base is provided with an opening for the vertical rod to pass through and move relative to the rotating base.

[0010] Preferably, the handle is also provided with control buttons.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the multi-directional two-handed game controller of the present invention has the following advantages: ① By rotating the rotating base or the handle, the induction magnet and the Hall circuit board can generate relative motion, thereby generating a Hall magnetic field induction signal. This Hall magnetic field induction signal is used as an orientation signal output to achieve the purpose of controlling the direction. The Hall circuit board is slidably connected to the guide frame through a sliding joint. At the same time, the Hall circuit board is also rotatably connected to the vertical rod fixed on the base, so that when the rotating base rotates relative to the base, the movement of the Hall circuit board relative to the induction magnet is more uniform and controllable, the operation is stable, the service life is long, the operation is portable, and the signal output is fast, uniform and accurate; ② The first return spring and the second return spring are set up, which, together with the rotating joint and the sliding joint, make the handle and the rotating base return to their original positions quickly and accurately.

[0012] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure and effects of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "horizontal," "vertical," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a multi-directional two-handed game controller includes a base 1 and a rotating base 2. The rotating base 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a vertical rotating joint 3. A first return spring 41 is also provided between the rotating base 2 and the base 1 to allow the rotation angle of the rotating base 2 and the base 1 to return to its initial state under natural conditions. The rotating base 2 is provided with a handle assembly, a guide frame 6, and a Hall circuit board 71 and a sensing magnet 72 that can cooperate to generate a Hall effect. The handle assembly includes a handle shaft 51 that is horizontally arranged and rotatably connected to the rotating base 2, and two components fixedly arranged at both ends of the handle shaft 51. The handle 52 has a control button 521. A second return spring 42 is provided between the handle assembly and the rotating base 2 so that the rotation angle of the handle assembly and the rotating base 2 can be reset to the initial state in a natural state. The guide frame 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 2. The Hall circuit board 71 is slidably connected to the guide frame 6 through a transverse sliding joint 8. A vertical rod 9 parallel to the vertical rotating joint 3 is fixedly provided on the base 1. The Hall circuit board 71 is rotatably connected to the vertical rod 9. The induction magnet 72 is fixedly connected to the handle shaft 51 and located above the Hall circuit board 71.

[0019] The vertical rotating pair 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a bushing 32 that cooperate with each other. The rotating shaft 31 is vertically fixedly connected to the base 1, and the bushing 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 2. The two ends of the guide frame 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 2 by two vertical fixing pins 61. There are two first return springs 41, both of which are arranged horizontally. One end of each of the two first return springs 41 is connected to a fixing pin 61, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 31.

[0020] There are two second return springs 42, both of which are vertically arranged. One end of each second return spring 42 is connected to the handle shaft 51 via a hook, and the other end is connected to the guide frame 6.

[0021] The movable part 8 includes a slide rail 81 mounted on the guide frame 6 and a slider 82 fixedly connected to the Hall circuit board 71. The slider 82 is slidably connected to the slide rail 81, and the vertical rod 9 is rotatably connected to the slider 82.

[0022] The rotating base 2 has a box-shaped structure. The Hall circuit board 71, the induction magnet 72, the guide frame 6, the handle shaft 51, the first reset spring 41 and the second spring are all located inside the rotating base 2. The vertical rod 9 extends into the rotating base 2. The bottom of the rotating base 2 is provided with an opening for the vertical rod 9 to pass through and move relative to the rotating base 2, so that the rotating base can rotate relative to the base and the vertical rod without being obstructed by the vertical rod. Preferably, the opening is an arc-shaped elongated hole.

[0023] In use, when the handle 52 is rotated relative to the rotating base 2 around the handle shaft 51, the inductive magnet 72 will deflect and rotate relative to the Hall circuit board 71. When the rotating base 2 is rotated relative to the base 1 around the rotating shaft 31 by the handle 52, the Hall circuit board 71 is slidably connected to the guide frame 6 through a sliding joint, and is also rotatably connected to the vertical rod 9 fixed on the base 1. Therefore, the Hall circuit board 71 will slide relative to the inductive magnet 72 along the slide rail 81, making the movement of the Hall circuit board 71 relative to the inductive magnet 72 relatively uniform and controllable. It can be seen that by rotating the rotating base 2 or the handle 52, the inductive magnet 72 and the Hall circuit board 71 can generate relative movements in different directions, thereby generating Hall magnetic field induction signals. The Hall circuit board 71 is used to output the received Hall magnetic field induction signals to the processor, and uses the Hall magnetic field induction signals as orientation signals to achieve the purpose of controlling direction. It is stable in operation, has a long service life, is easy to operate, and has fast, uniform and accurate signal output. By setting the first return spring 41 and the second return spring 42, in conjunction with the rotary joint 3 and the sliding joint, the return of the handle 52 and the rotating seat 2 is extremely fast and accurate, thereby effectively solving the problems of position control delay and inaccuracy during use.
