[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of control devices, and particularly to a reset mechanism and a control device applying the reset mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Currently, for control devices such as gamepads, components such as joysticks are usually designed thereon. Users generate corresponding control instructions by shaking the joystick, and then complete the corresponding control work. After being shaken by the user, the joystick deviates from its initial position, but the joystick needs to be reset after the user cancels the operation of the joystick. Therefore, a reset mechanism is usually designed for the control device to drive the joystick to reset. However, due to the unreasonable design of the reset mechanism on the current control device, the reset effect of the reset mechanism is poor. Summary of the Invention

The elastic members of the first elastic component extend along a first direction, and the elastic members of the second elastic component extend along a second direction. The reset mechanism further includes a reset member, and the reset member is arranged corresponding to the elastic members of the first elastic component and the second elastic component, so that when the reset member moves along the second direction, the elastic members of the first elastic component drive the reset member to reset, and when the reset member moves along the first direction, the elastic members of the second elastic component drive the reset member to reset. Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are different.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0022] To solve the technical problem of the poor reset effect of the reset mechanism in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism includes a first elastic component and a second elastic component. The first elastic component and the second elastic component each include at least one elastic member. The elastic members of the first elastic component extend in a first direction, and the elastic members of the second elastic component extend in a second direction. The reset mechanism further includes a reset member, and the reset member is arranged corresponding to the elastic members of the first elastic component and the second elastic component, so that when the reset member moves in the second direction, the elastic members of the first elastic component drive the reset member to reset, and when the reset member moves in the first direction, the elastic members of the second elastic component drive the reset member to reset. Among them, the first direction and the second direction are different. The following will be elaborated in detail.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the control device of the present invention, Figure 2 is Figure 1 Explosion structure schematic diagram of the shown control device.

[0024] In one embodiment, the control device can be, for example, a game controller, a remote control handle, and other control devices used in industry. Users operate the control device to complete corresponding control work. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the case where the control device is a game controller, which is only for the need of discussion and is not limited thereby.

[0025] Specifically, the control device includes a housing 1. The housing 1 serves as a carrier and functions to carry and protect other components of the control device. A rocking platform 11 is provided on the housing 1 to match the implementation of the rocker function of the control device.

[0026] The control device further includes an operation component 2. The operation component 2 is disposed on one side of the rocking platform 11. The operation component 2 includes a number of operation members 21. The operation members 21 can be buttons, rockers, etc., and the operation component 2 can include one or more operation members 21. In addition to the operation members 21 thereon being able to implement the functions of buttons or rockers, the operation component 2 itself can move along a preset plane on the rocking platform 11, that is, the operation component 2 itself can implement a function similar to that of a rocker. Further, the operation component 2 preferably translates along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, that is, there is no relative rotation of the operation component 2 with respect to the rocking platform 11 during the movement.

[0027] That is to say, in this embodiment, the operation component 2 and the operation members 21 thereon adopt an integrated design of buttons and rockers. When the user manipulates the operation members 21, the user can also synchronously manipulate the movement of the operation component 2 on the rocking platform 11, that is, rock the operation component 2. The manipulation method provided by the operation component 2 in this embodiment has great advantages in some specific application environments. For example, in a game experience, the user can press the operation members 21 on the operation component 2 to select the skill to be released, and then keep pressing the operation members 21 while rocking the operation component 2, so that the operation component 2 moves synchronously on the rocking platform 11, and then select the casting direction of the selected skill. Among them, the movement of the operation component 2 along the plane (i.e., the preset plane) can provide a better manipulation feel for the user, which is beneficial to improving the user's manipulation feel and thus improving the user's usage experience.

[0028] The control device further includes a sensing component. The sensing component is disposed on the side of the rocking platform 11 away from the operation component 2 and is connected to the operation component 2, and is used to sense the movement of the operation component 2 along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11 to generate corresponding control commands, and then complete the corresponding control work, that is, to implement the function similar to that of a rocker of the operation component 2 itself. Returning to the above application environment of the game experience, the movement of the operation component 2 along the preset plane can be sensed by the sensing component to generate corresponding control commands, so that the selected skill is released in the casting direction corresponding to the control commands.

[0029] The control device further includes a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism is disposed on the housing 1 and is connected to the operation component 2, and is used to drive the operation component 2 to reset. After the user rocks the operation component 2 to complete the corresponding control work, the user cancels the manipulation of the operation component 2, that is, the user releases the operation component 2, and the reset mechanism drives the operation component 2 to reset so that the operation component 2 can be used to perform the next control work.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 which Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the control device shown in the A-A direction.

[0031] In one embodiment, the control device further includes a rocking column 51, and the rocking column 51 is respectively connected to the operation component 2 and the sensing component 3. A through rocking groove, namely the first rocking groove 111, is formed in the rocking platform 11, and the rocking column 51 is disposed through the first rocking groove 111.

[0032] Wherein, as the operation component 2 moves along a preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the rocking column 51 moves along a plane parallel to the preset plane in the first rocking groove 111. Moreover, the area of the orthographic projection of the first rocking groove 111 on the preset plane is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the rocking column 51 on the preset plane, so as to provide sufficient movement amount for the rocking column 51, which is beneficial to improving the user experience of the control device in this embodiment.

[0033] Further, the orthographic projection of the first rocking groove 111 on the preset plane can be circular or the like, that is, the operation component 2 moves within a circular range, which is beneficial to improving the user experience of the control device in this embodiment.

[0034] Further, as the operation component 2 translates along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the rocking column 51 synchronously translates along a plane parallel to the preset plane.

[0035] The following elaborates on the specific manner in which the sensing component in the embodiment of the present invention senses the movement of the operation component along the preset plane on the rocking platform.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 which Figure 5 is Figure 4 a schematic structural diagram of the second embodiment of the control device of the present invention,

[0037] In one embodiment, the sensing component 3 includes a first rotary potentiometer 31, a second rotary potentiometer 32, a first connecting shaft 33, and a second connecting shaft 34. The first connecting shaft 33 is respectively rotatably connected to the rocking column 51 and the first rotary potentiometer 31, and the second connecting shaft 34 is respectively rotatably connected to the rocking column 51 and the second rotary potentiometer 32.

[0038] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the situation where the rocking column 51 is respectively rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 through a transmission column 52 (to be elaborated below) connected thereto.

[0039] During the process of the operation component 2 moving along a preset plane on the shaking platform 11, the shaking column 51 drives the first connecting shaft 33 to rotate relative to the first rotary potentiometer 31 and drives the second connecting shaft 34 to rotate relative to the second rotary potentiometer 32. As understood by those skilled in the art, for the first rotary potentiometer 31 and the second rotary potentiometer 32, when the first connecting shaft 33 rotates relative to the first rotary potentiometer 31, the rotation angle of the first connecting shaft 33 will cause the first rotary potentiometer 31 to generate different electrical signals. Therefore, the rotation angle of the first connecting shaft 33 can be judged according to the electrical signals generated by the first rotary potentiometer 31. Similarly, the rotation angle of the second connecting shaft 34 can be judged according to the electrical signals generated by the second rotary potentiometer 32. Furthermore, the position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane can be determined according to the rotation angle of the first connecting shaft 33 and the rotation angle of the second connecting shaft 34 to generate corresponding control instructions.

[0040] For example, please refer to Figure 6 , hole structures for inserting the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 can be provided on the first rotary potentiometer 31 and the second rotary potentiometer 32. After the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 are inserted into the hole structures on the first rotary potentiometer 31 and the second rotary potentiometer 32, the hole structures restrict the relative rotation between the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 and the hole structures. In this way, when the first connecting shaft 33 rotates relative to the first rotary potentiometer 31 and the second connecting shaft 34 rotates relative to the second rotary potentiometer 32, the first rotary potentiometer 31 and the second rotary potentiometer 32 can generate different electrical signals.

[0041] Moreover, the specific process of generating corresponding control instructions according to the position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane can be: according to the real-time position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane, calculate the movement track of the operation component 2 to generate control instructions corresponding to the movement track of the operation component 2. For example, in the application environment of the above game experience, according to the real-time position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane, if it is calculated that the movement track of the operation component 2 is to move clockwise along a circumferential direction, then the casting direction of the selected skill correspondingly rotates clockwise along a circumferential direction, and thus the final casting direction is determined.

[0042] Further, to facilitate calculating the position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane, the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 are rotatably connected to the same position on the rocking column 51. Specifically, connecting grooves 35 extending along their respective extending directions are respectively provided on the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 (that is, the connecting groove 35 on the first connecting shaft 33 extends along the extending direction of the first connecting shaft 33, and the connecting groove 35 on the second connecting shaft 34 extends along the extending direction of the second connecting shaft 34), and the connecting grooves 35 of the two overlap in the direction perpendicular to the preset plane. The control device further includes a transmission column 52 connecting the rocking column 51, and the transmission column 52 simultaneously passes through the connecting grooves 35 of the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34, that is, the transmission column 52 passes through the overlapping part of the connecting groove 35 of the first connecting shaft 33 and the connecting groove 35 of the second connecting shaft 34.

[0043] In the above manner, as the operation component 2 moves along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the transmission column 52 moves along the connecting grooves 35 of the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 respectively, so as to drive the first connecting shaft 33 to rotate relative to the first rotary potentiometer 31 and drive the second connecting shaft 34 to rotate relative to the second rotary potentiometer 32. Further, as the operation component 2 translates along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the transmission column 52 translates synchronously along the plane parallel to the preset plane.

[0044] It should be noted that the extending directions of the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 are different and the plane defined by the extending directions of the two is parallel to the above preset plane. Among them, the extending directions of the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 are different, so that the rotation angle of the first connecting shaft 33 can reflect the position of the operation component 2 in one direction on the preset plane, and the rotation angle of the second connecting shaft 34 can reflect the position of the operation component 2 in another direction on the preset plane. The position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane can be determined by the positions of the operation component 2 in at least two different directions on the preset plane.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic structural diagram of the third embodiment of the control device of the present invention.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment, the sensing component 3 includes an image collector 36 and an image board 37. The image collector 36 is provided at the end of the rocking column 51 away from the operation component 2, and the image board 37 is arranged opposite to the image collector 36. As the operation component 2 moves along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the image collector 36 moves along the plane parallel to the preset plane, and further determines the position of the operation component 2 on the preset plane according to different images of the image board 37 collected by the image collector 36 at different positions to generate corresponding control commands.

[0047] It should be noted that as the operating component 2 moves along the preset plane on the shaking platform 11, the image collector 36 moves to different positions and captures images from the image plate 37. Due to the different positions of the image collector 36, the image collector 36 can capture different images from the image plate 37, thereby determining the position of the operating component 2 on the preset plane to generate corresponding control instructions. Among them, the specific process of generating corresponding control instructions according to the position of the operating component 2 on the preset plane has been elaborated in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0048] Based on the specific manner in which the sensing component senses the movement of the operating component along the preset plane on the shaking platform as described above, the specific manner in which the reset mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention resets the operating component will be elaborated below.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 is Figure 4 the exploded structural schematic diagram of the manipulation device shown. Among them, Figure 8 some components are omitted.

[0050] In one embodiment, the reset mechanism 4 includes a flat spiral spring 41. The flat spiral spring 41 is fixed to the housing 1 and the plane where it is located is parallel to the preset plane. The rocking column 51 is connected to the center of the flat spiral spring 41. For example, the transmission column 52 connecting the rocking column 51 is connected to the center of the flat spiral spring 41, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 8 . Among them, the flat spiral spring 41 is a spring in the shape of a flat spiral. In the above manner, when the operating component 2 moves along the preset plane on the shaking platform 11 and the rocking column 51 moves along a plane parallel to the preset plane, it will drive the flat spiral spring 41 to generate corresponding deformation. After the user cancels the operation of the operating component 2, the flat spiral spring 41 will drive the rocking column 51 to reset, that is, drive the operating component 2 to reset.

[0051] Furthermore, the reset mechanism 4 further includes a spring fixing plate 411. The spring fixing plate 411 is fixed to the housing 1, and the periphery of the flat spiral spring 41 is fixed to the spring fixing plate 411, so that the flat spiral spring 41 is fixed to the housing 1. In addition, a second rocking groove 412 is provided on the spring fixing plate 411. The rocking column 51 is connected to the sensing component through the second rocking groove 412. The second rocking groove 412 also provides a moving space to match the movement of the rocking column 51 as the operating component 2 rocks. Preferably, the second rocking groove 412 can be the same as the first rocking groove 111, and the orthographic projection of the second rocking groove 412 on the preset plane is designed to be circular, etc., to match the movement of the operating component 2 within a circular range.

[0052] Please refer toFigure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of the fourth embodiment of the control device of the present invention, Figure 10 and Figure 9 FIG. 6 is an exploded structural view of the control device shown. Among them, Figure 9 and Figure 10 the operation components are omitted.

[0053] In an alternative embodiment, the reset mechanism 4 includes a first elastic component 42 and a second elastic component 43. The first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43 each include at least one elastic member. The elastic members of the first elastic component 42 extend along a first direction (such as Figure 10 the direction indicated by arrow X), and the elastic members of the second elastic component 43 extend along a second direction (such as Figure 10 the direction indicated by arrow Y). Among them, the first direction and the second direction are different.

[0054] The reset mechanism 4 further includes a reset member 44. Further, the reset member 44 can be connected to the rocking column 51 to drive the operation component 2 to reset through the reset member 44. Specifically, the reset member 44 is arranged corresponding to the elastic members of the first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43, so that when the reset member 44 moves along the second direction, the elastic member of the first elastic component 42 drives the reset member 44 to reset, and when the reset member 44 moves along the first direction, the elastic member of the second elastic component 43 drives the reset member 44 to reset. That is to say, this embodiment provides a reasonable design of the reset mechanism 4, which is beneficial to improving the reset effect of the reset mechanism 4.

[0055] Further, the plane defined by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the above-mentioned preset plane, which means that the reset member 44 moves along a plane parallel to the preset plane to match the movement of the operation component 2 along the preset plane. And as the operation component 2 translates along the preset plane on the rocking platform 11, the reset member 44 synchronously translates along the plane defined by the first direction and the second direction.

[0056] Preferably, the first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43 each include two elastic members. The two elastic members of the first elastic component 42 (such as the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 described below) are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 (such as the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 described below) are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The reset member 44 is arranged between the two elastic members of the first elastic component 42 and between the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43. The two elastic members of both the first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43 can increase the elastic restoring force for driving the reset member 44 to reset, so as to further improve the reset effect of the reset mechanism 4.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43 may also each include only one elastic member to realize the reset of the reset member 44 in the first direction and the second direction, which is not limited herein.

[0058] The design of the reset member 44 in the case where the first elastic component 42 and the second elastic component 43 each include two elastic members in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 。 The reset member 44 includes a first intermediate plate 441 and a second intermediate plate 442 which are stacked in sequence. Specifically, the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 are stacked in sequence along the direction away from the operation component 2. An intermediate groove 4411 extending in the first direction is formed on the first intermediate plate 441, and the rocking column 51 passes through the intermediate groove 4411 to connect the second intermediate plate 442.

[0060] The first intermediate plate 441 is disposed between the two elastic members of the first elastic component 42, so that the two elastic members of the first elastic component 42 drive the first intermediate plate 441 to reset. The second intermediate plate 442 is disposed between the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43, so that the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 drive the second intermediate plate 442 to reset.

[0061] Further, the first intermediate plate 441 is slidably connected to the surface of the rocking platform 11 facing away from the operation component 2 through a first guiding member, which is used to guide the first intermediate plate 441 to move along the first guiding member, and the elastic member of the first elastic component 42 drives the first intermediate plate 441 to reset. Wherein, the first guiding member extends in the second direction.

[0062] The second intermediate plate 442 is slidably connected to the first intermediate plate 441 through a second guiding member, which is used to guide the second intermediate plate 442 to move along the second guiding member, and the elastic member of the second elastic component 43 drives the second intermediate plate 442 to reset. Wherein, the second guiding member extends in the first direction, and as the second intermediate plate 442 moves along the second guiding member, the rocking column 51 moves along the intermediate groove 4411. And, the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the second intermediate plate 442.

[0063] Further, the above-mentioned transmission column 52 is disposed on the surface of the second intermediate plate 442 facing away from the first intermediate plate 441, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown.

[0064] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the movement of the rocking column 51 on the plane parallel to the preset plane is reflected by the movement of the first intermediate plate 441 in the second direction and the movement of the second intermediate plate 442 in the first direction. That is to say, during the movement of the rocking column 51 on the plane parallel to the preset plane, if there is a movement of the rocking column 51 in the second direction, it will drive the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 to move in the second direction; if there is a movement of the rocking column 51 in the first direction, the first guiding member restricts the movement of the first intermediate plate 441 in the first direction, and the rocking column 51 will drive the second intermediate plate 442 to move relative to the first intermediate plate 441 along the second guiding member, and the rocking column 51 will move synchronously along the intermediate groove 4411. The movement of the rocking column 51 in the first direction and the second direction can be detected by the sensing component, so that the sensing component can sense the movement of the operating component 2 on the rocking platform 11 along the preset plane to generate corresponding control instructions.

[0065] Moreover, due to the design of the first guiding member, there is only a relative movement in the second direction between the first intermediate plate 441 and the elastic member of the first elastic component 42, and there is no relative movement in the first direction, which can prevent the first intermediate plate 441 from moving relative to the elastic member of the first elastic component 42 in the first direction and cutting the elastic member of the first elastic component 42, so as to avoid affecting the reliability of the elastic member.

[0066] The two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 are respectively fixed on the opposite sides of the second intermediate plate 442, that is, the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 are fixed on the second intermediate plate 442. At the same time, a limiting post (including the first limiting post 4414 and the second limiting post 4415 described below) is provided between each elastic member of the second elastic component 43 and the second intermediate plate 442. The limiting post is fixed on the first intermediate plate 441, and the second intermediate plate 442 is slidably connected to the first intermediate plate 441 through the second guiding member. When the second intermediate plate 442 moves relative to the first intermediate plate 441 along the second guiding member, the ends of the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 fixed on the second intermediate plate 442 move with the second intermediate plate 442, and the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 will also be restricted by the limiting post and deformed, thereby driving the second intermediate plate 442 to reset.

[0067] In the above manner, there is only a relative movement in the first direction between the second intermediate plate 442 and the elastic member of the second elastic component 43, and there is no relative movement in the second direction, which can prevent the second intermediate plate 442 from moving relative to the elastic member of the second elastic component 43 in the second direction and cutting the elastic member of the second elastic component 43, so as to avoid affecting the reliability of the elastic member.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10Further, the specific manner in which the first intermediate plate 441 is slidably connected to the surface of the rocking platform 11 facing away from the operating assembly 2 is as follows: a first guide groove 112 is provided on the surface of the rocking platform 11 facing away from the operating assembly 2, the first guide groove 112 extends in the second direction, and the entire first intermediate plate 441 is embedded in the first guide groove 112 to guide the first intermediate plate 441 to move in the second direction through the first guide groove 112, as Figure 9 shown.

[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 10 . The specific manner in which the second intermediate plate 442 is slidably connected to the first intermediate plate 441 through a second guide member is as follows:

[0070] In one embodiment, the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 are connected by a limiting body 443 and a second limiting groove 444 that are mutually engaged, and the limiting body 443 can move along the second limiting groove 444 to realize the relative movement between the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442. Specifically, a limiting body 443 is provided on one of the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442, a second limiting groove 444 is provided on the other, and the limiting body 443 and the second limiting groove 444 extend in the first direction respectively, so that a relative movement in the first direction can be generated between the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442. Figure 10 The situation where the limiting body 443 is provided on the first intermediate plate 441 and the second limiting groove 444 is provided on the second intermediate plate 442 is shown, and it is only for the need of discussion and is not limited here.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 is a schematic structural diagram of the fifth embodiment of the control device of the present invention, Figure 12 is Figure 11 the exploded structural diagram of the control device shown. Among them, Figure 11 and Figure 12 the operating assembly is omitted.

[0072] In an alternative embodiment, one of the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 itself is the limiting body 443, and a second limiting groove 444 is provided on the other. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The situation where the second limiting groove 444 is provided on the second intermediate plate 442 and the entire first intermediate plate 441 is embedded in the second limiting groove 444 is shown, and it is only for the need of discussion and is not limited here.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, a connection similar to the sliding connection between the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 realized by the mutually engaged limiting bodies 443 and the second limiting grooves 444 may also be adopted between the surface of the first intermediate plate 441 facing away from the operating assembly 2 and the rocking platform 11, which is not limited herein.

[0074] Please continue to refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 . Further, a first limiting assembly 12 and a second limiting assembly 13 are provided on the housing 1 at intervals in the second direction. The first limiting assembly 12 and the second limiting assembly 13 each include two limiting blocks 14 arranged at intervals in the first direction. The two elastic members of the first elastic assembly 42 include a first elastic member 421 and a second elastic member 422. When the first intermediate plate 441 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 421 abuts against the surfaces of the two limiting blocks 14 of the first limiting assembly 12 away from the second limiting assembly 13 and has a first deformation amount, and the second elastic member 422 abuts against the surfaces of the two limiting blocks 14 of the second limiting assembly 13 away from the first limiting assembly 12 and has a second deformation amount.

[0075] Among them, the first elastic member 421 has a first deformation amount and the second elastic member 422 has a second deformation amount, that is, the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 have an initial deformation, so that when the first intermediate plate 441 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 are pre - equipped with a certain elastic restoring force, so as to increase the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 for resetting the first intermediate plate 441 during the process of driving the first intermediate plate 441 to reset.

[0076] Moreover, a first abutting portion 4412 and a second abutting portion 4413 are provided on the first intermediate plate 441 at intervals in the second direction, as Figure 13 shown. The first abutting portion 4412 can pass through between the two limiting blocks 14 of the first limiting assembly 12 and abut against the first elastic member 421, so as to drive the first intermediate plate 441 to reset by the first elastic member 421. The second abutting portion 4413 can pass through between the two limiting blocks 14 of the second limiting assembly 13 and abut against the second elastic member 422, so as to drive the first intermediate plate 441 to reset by the second elastic member 422.

[0077] Further, the two elastic members of the second elastic component 43 include a third elastic member 431 and a fourth elastic member 432. A first limiting post 4414 is provided between the third elastic member 431 and the second intermediate plate 442, and a second limiting post 4415 is provided between the fourth elastic member 432 and the second intermediate plate 442. The first limiting post 4414 and the second limiting post 4415 are provided on the first intermediate plate 441. When the second intermediate plate 442 is in the initial position, the third elastic member 431 is fixed to both ends of the second intermediate plate 442 and is closer to the fourth elastic member 432 relative to the first limiting post 4414, such that the third elastic member 431 has a third deformation amount, and the fourth elastic member 432 is fixed to both ends of the second intermediate plate 442 and is closer to the third elastic member 431 relative to the second limiting post 4415, such that the fourth elastic member 432 has a fourth deformation amount.

[0078] The third elastic member 431 has a third deformation amount and the fourth elastic member 432 has a fourth deformation amount, that is, the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 have an initial deformation, so that when the second intermediate plate 442 is in the initial position, the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 are pre - equipped with a certain elastic restoring force, so as to increase the elastic restoring force of the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 for resetting the second intermediate plate 442 during the process of driving the second intermediate plate 442 to reset.

[0079] Figure 9 and 10 It shows a situation where the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 both extend linearly along the first direction, and the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 both extend linearly along the second direction. Among them, the two limiting blocks 14 of the first limiting component 12 and the second limiting component 13 both extend along the first direction. Preferably, the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 can be in a tensioned state, that is, the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 have an initial deformation. When the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 are in the initial position, the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 are pre - equipped with a certain elastic restoring force, so as to increase the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 for resetting the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 during the process of driving the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 to reset. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 can also be in an initial state, not in the above - mentioned tensioned state, and do not have an initial deformation, which is not limited herein.

[0080] Further,Figure 11 and Figure 12 shows a situation where both the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 are bent and extended in the first direction, and both the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 are bent and extended in the second direction. Among them, the extending directions of the two limiting blocks 14 of the first limiting assembly 12 and the second limiting assembly 13 are set at a certain angle, so that after the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 abut against the limiting blocks 14, the two are bent in the direction away from each other. The two end edges of the second intermediate plate 442 facing the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 are curved, so that after the third elastic member 431 and the fourth elastic member 432 abut against the curved end edges of the second intermediate plate 442, the two are bent in the direction away from each other. By the above method, the elastic restoring forces pre - possessed by the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 are further increased, so as to further increase the elastic restoring forces of the first elastic member 421, the second elastic member 422, the third elastic member 431, and the fourth elastic member 432 for resetting the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442, and further improve the reset effect of the reset mechanism in this embodiment.

[0081] Furthermore, the end of the second intermediate plate 442 facing the limiting post is provided with an extending groove 4421 that is recessed inward and extends in the first direction, as Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown, to increase the stroke of the second intermediate plate 442 in the first direction, to allow the operating assembly 2 to have a greater amount of movement, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. Specifically, the two ends of the second intermediate plate 442 facing the first limiting post 4414 and the second limiting post 4415 are respectively provided with extending grooves 4421, as Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown, to greatly increase the stroke of the second intermediate plate 442 in the first direction. And, the lengths of the extending grooves 4421 at the above - mentioned two ends of the second intermediate plate 442 in the first direction are equal, so that the strokes of the second intermediate plate 442 moving in different directions in the first direction are the same, which is further beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0082] Optionally, the elastic members of the first elastic assembly 42 and the second elastic assembly 43 can be springs or the like, which is not limited herein.

[0083] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3。In one embodiment, the specific manner in which the sensing component senses the movement of the operating component 2 on the rocking platform 11 along a preset plane can also be achieved by using a push rocker potentiometer 38. The push rocker potentiometer 38 integrates a sensing component and a reset mechanism. That is to say, in this embodiment, the sensing component and the reset mechanism are integrally designed as the push rocker potentiometer 38. The push rocker 381 on the push rocker potentiometer 38 is connected to the rocking column 51( Figure 3 shows the situation where the push rocker 381 on the push rocker potentiometer 38 is embedded in the second intermediate plate 442 and then connected to the rocking column 51), so that as the operating component 2 moves on the rocking platform 11 along the preset plane, the push rocker 381 moves along a plane parallel to the preset plane (specifically, translational motion) for sensing the movement of the operating component 2 on the rocking platform 11 along the preset plane. At the same time, the push rocker 381 of the push rocker potentiometer 38 can automatically reset after the user releases the operating component 2, thereby driving the operating component 2 to reset.

[0084] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 。In one embodiment, the control device includes a first intermediate plate 441 provided on the side of the rocking platform 11 away from the operating component 2. The first intermediate plate 441 is provided with an intermediate slot 4411. The rocking column 51 passes through the intermediate slot 4411 to connect to the sensing component (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 the push rocker potentiometer 38 shown, specifically, the rocking column 51 passes through the intermediate slot 4411 and is connected to the second intermediate plate 442, and then connected to the push rocker potentiometer 38). The intermediate slot 4411 is also used to limit the rotation of the rocking column 51 in the intermediate slot 4411. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the rocking column 51 fits the shape of the intermediate slot 4411. After the rocking column 51 passes through the intermediate slot 4411, it is clamped in the intermediate slot 4411, so that the rocking column 51 cannot rotate around its own axis in the intermediate slot 4411.

[0085] And, the surface of the rocking platform 11 facing away from the operating component 2 is provided with a first limiting slot (i.e., the first guiding slot 112 described above). The first intermediate plate 441 is embedded in the first limiting slot. Preferably, the opposite ends of the first intermediate plate 441 respectively abut against the two opposite inner walls of the first limiting slot (as Figure 9 shown), for limiting the rotation of the first intermediate plate 441 in the first limiting slot, that is, making the first intermediate plate 441 unable to rotate in the first limiting slot along a plane parallel to the above-mentioned preset plane.

[0086] In the above manner, the relative rotation between the first intermediate plate 441 and the rocking column 51 is restricted by the intermediate groove 4411, and the relative rotation between the first intermediate plate 441 and the housing 1 is restricted by the first limiting groove, that is, the relative rotation between the operating assembly 2 and the housing 1 (rocking platform 11) is restricted. Specifically, the operating assembly 2 is restricted to translate only relative to the rocking platform 11 along a preset plane, and there is no rotation relative to the rocking platform 11, thereby avoiding excessive shaking of the operating assembly 2.

[0087] In an alternative embodiment, the control device includes a first intermediate plate 441 and a second intermediate plate 442 that are disposed on the side of the rocking platform 11 away from the operating assembly 2 and stacked in sequence along the direction away from the operating assembly 2. An intermediate groove 4411 is formed in the first intermediate plate 441. The rocking column 51 passes through the intermediate groove 4411 to connect the second intermediate plate 442, and the second intermediate plate 442 is connected to the sensing assembly, as Figure 8 shown. Among them, the rocking column 51 and the second intermediate plate 442 can be fixedly connected by screws or the like, and there is no relative rotation between the two.

[0088] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 . A first limiting groove (i.e., the first guiding groove 112 described above) is provided on the surface of the rocking platform 11 facing away from the operating assembly 2, and the first intermediate plate 441 is embedded in the first limiting groove. Preferably, the opposite ends of the first intermediate plate 441 respectively abut against the two opposite inner walls of the first limiting groove, so as to restrict the rotation of the first intermediate plate 441 in the first limiting groove, that is, the first intermediate plate 441 cannot rotate in the first limiting groove along a plane parallel to the above-mentioned preset plane.

[0089] The first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442 are connected by a mutually engaged limiting body 443 and a second limiting groove 444 (as described above, it will not be elaborated here). The second limiting groove 444 is used to restrict the rotation of the limiting body 443 in the second limiting groove 444, that is, the limiting body 443 is allowed to move relative to the second limiting groove 444, but the limiting body 443 is not allowed to rotate in the second limiting groove 444, so as to restrict the relative rotation between the first intermediate plate 441 and the second intermediate plate 442.

[0090] In the above manner, the second intermediate plate 442 and the rocking column 51 are relatively fixed, and the relative rotation between the second intermediate plate 442 and the first intermediate plate 441 is restricted by the mutually engaged limiting body 443 and the second limiting groove 444. The relative rotation between the first intermediate plate 441 and the housing 1 is restricted by the first limiting groove, that is, the relative rotation between the operating assembly 2 and the housing 1 (rocking platform 11) is restricted. Specifically, the operating assembly 2 is restricted to translate only relative to the rocking platform 11 along a preset plane, and there is no rotation relative to the rocking platform 11, thereby avoiding excessive shaking of the operating assembly 2.

[0091] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the operating assembly 2 includes a carrying platform 22 and a first circuit board 23 disposed on the carrying platform 22. A plurality of operating members 21 of the operating assembly 2 are disposed on the carrying platform 22 and are electrically connected to the first circuit board 23. A shaking column 51 is disposed on a side of the carrying platform 22 away from the first circuit board 23. The control device further includes a second circuit board 61 disposed on a side of the shaking platform 11 away from the operating assembly 2. The second circuit board 61 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 23 via a wire 62, and the induction assembly (e.g. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The push rocker potentiometer 38 shown is integrated on the second circuit board 61. The carrying platform 22 and the rocking column 51 are provided with a wiring channel 63 extending along the axial direction of the rocking column 51 and penetrating therethrough, and the wire 62 is passed through the wiring channel 63.

[0092] Furthermore, the second intermediate plate 442 also participates in forming the wiring channel 63. Specifically, a through hole is provided on the second intermediate plate 442, and the wire 62 connected to the second circuit board 61 passes through the through hole on the second intermediate plate 442, the shaking column 51 and the carrying platform 22 in sequence, and then connected to the first circuit board 23.

[0093] When the operating member 21 is a button, the button switch of the operating member 21 is disposed on the first circuit board 23 and electrically connected to the first circuit board 23, and the key cap of the operating member 21 abuts against the button switch, so that the user presses and triggers the button switch to generate a corresponding control signal. Of course, the operating component 2 may also include button decorations, etc., to improve the appearance of the operating component 2.

[0094] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 . In one embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a receiving cavity 15. The bottom surface of the receiving cavity 15 is a shaking platform 11. The operating component 2 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 15 and a gap 71 is provided between the operating component 2 and the side wall of the receiving cavity 15, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the operating component 2. A buffer 72 is provided in the gap 71, and the buffer 72 is arranged around the outer periphery of the operating component 2. The buffer 72 is preferably an elastomer, such as soft rubber, etc., which can buffer the movement of the operating component 2 along a preset plane on the shaking platform 11. At the same time, the buffer 72 always keeps filling the gap 71, which can minimize the external dust and powder from falling into the control device.

[0095] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3。In one embodiment, a ball limiting groove 113 is provided on the surface of the shaking platform 11 facing the operating component 2. There is a ball 8 in frictional contact between the operating component 2 and the shaking platform 11 (specifically, there is a ball 8 in frictional contact between the bearing platform 22 and the shaking platform 11). The ball 8 is embedded in the ball limiting groove 113. During the process of the operating component 2 moving along a preset plane on the shaking platform 11, the ball 8 is subjected to the frictional force of the operating component 2 and then rolls in the ball limiting groove 113. This is beneficial to reducing the frictional resistance suffered by the operating component 2 during movement, making the user feel smoother when shaking the operating component 2, and is beneficial to improving the user experience of the control device in this embodiment.
