[0039] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0040] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0041] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a manipulation device is provided. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the operating device includes:

[0043] The handle body 1 and the handle base 2; the handle body 1 can rotate freely relative to the handle base 2; for example, when the handle body 1 is pushed, the handle body 1 can rotate freely in the handle base 2. When the handle body 1 is pushed left or right, the handle body 1 can rotate left or right; when the handle body 1 is pushed inward or outward in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface, the handle body 1 can rotate forward and backward. That is, the handle body 1 can rotate along the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

[0044] The bottom of the handle body 1 is provided with a permanent magnet 10 ; the permanent magnet 10 is fixed on the bottom of the handle body 1 .

[0045] Base 3; the handle base 2 is embedded in the base 3; the handle body 1 passes through the handle base 2 and is movably connected to the handle base, and the handle body 1 can rotate freely relative to the base 3 and the handle base 2;

[0046] A magnetic conductive member 30 is disposed in the base 3;

[0047] The permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive member 30 are arranged opposite to each other, and magnetic force is generated between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive member 30, and the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive member 30 are configured to provide a force for rotating the handle body 1. The force includes a rotational force for driving the handle body 1 to rotate, and a self-restoring force for realizing the handle body returning to its original position.

[0048] In this example, on the one hand, an attractive magnetic force is generated between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic member 30. When the handle body rotates relative to the handle base 2, the handle body 1 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic member 30. For example, when the axis of the permanent magnet 10 is coaxial with the axis of the magnetic member 30, the handle body 1 is in the original state, and the handle body 1 is pushed to rotate relative to the handle base 2, that is, when there is an angle between the axis of the permanent magnet 10 and the axis of the magnetic member, that is, when the permanent magnet 10 deviates from the original position (the size of the angle is related to the force of pushing the handle body 1), due to the attractive magnetic force between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic member 30, the permanent magnet 10 will automatically return to its original position, that is, the handle body can automatically return to its original position under the action of the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic member 30. In this example, the self-return function of the operating device is realized through the action of the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic member 30.

[0049] A permanent magnet 10 is provided at the bottom of the handle body 1. On the one hand, the permanent magnet 10 can generate magnetic force between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive part 30 to realize the self-return function of the operating device; on the other hand, the bottom of the permanent magnet 10 is spherical, so that the handle body 1 can rotate freely in the handle base 2.

[0050] In an optional example, the magnetic conductive member 30 is wound with a power coil 31, and by adjusting the magnitude and direction of the power current of the power coil 31, an adjustable electromagnetic force can be generated between the magnetic conductive member 31 and the permanent magnet 10, and the power coil 31 and the permanent magnet 10 are configured to adjust the force of the handle body (1) to rotate. The force includes a restoring force or a rotational force of the operating handle body.

[0051] For example, the energized coil 31 is wound into a columnar structure, and the energized coil 31 is sleeved on the magnetic conductive member 30, and the energized coil 31 and the magnetic conductive member 30 form an electromagnet. The magnetic conductive member 30 can enhance the magnetic induction strength of the electromagnet.

[0052] By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the current passed through the energized coil 31 , the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet can be changed.

[0053] When the handle body 1 is pushed to rotate relative to the handle base 2, the permanent magnet deviates from its original position, and there is an attractive magnetic force between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive part 30. Under the action of the attractive magnetic force, the handle body 1 can automatically return to its original position; at the same time, the magnetic conductive part 30 and the energized coil 31 constitute an electromagnet, and an electromagnetic force is generated between the electromagnet and the permanent magnet 10. When the direction of the generated electromagnetic force is the same as the direction of the attractive magnetic force, the handle body 1 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the electromagnetic force and the magnetic force.

[0054] When the handle body 1 is pushed to rotate relative to the handle base 2, the permanent magnet 10 moves to cut the magnetic flux lines in the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet, and an electromagnetic force is generated between the permanent magnet 10 and the electromagnet. When the direction of the generated electromagnetic force is the same as the direction of the rotational force pushing the handle body 1, the user can feel the effect of the electromagnetic force when pushing the handle body 1, and the corresponding shaking force is fed back to the user, and the shaking force is adjustable to enhance the user's experience.

[0055] In this example, a permanent magnet is set on the handle body, and an electromagnet with adjustable current size and direction is used to generate a force between the permanent magnet and the magnetic conductive part that is adapted to the restoring force or the rotational force of the handle body 1, thereby enhancing the user experience when operating the operating device.

[0056] In an optional example, the current of the energized coil 31 is a direct current, the electromagnetic force generated between the energized coil 31 and the permanent magnet 10 is in the same direction as the restoring force, and the energized coil and the permanent magnet are configured to enhance the force.

[0057] For example, when the handle body 1 is pushed to rotate relative to the handle base 2, the permanent magnet deviates from its original position, and there is an attractive magnetic force between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive part 30. Under the action of the attractive magnetic force, the handle body 1 can automatically return to its original position; at the same time, the magnetic conductive part 30 and the energized coil 31 constitute an electromagnet, and there is an electromagnetic force between the electromagnet and the permanent magnet 10. When the direction of the generated electromagnetic force is the same as the direction of the attractive magnetic force, the handle body 1 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the electromagnetic force and the magnetic force, so as to enhance the user experience.

[0058] Alternatively, the current of the energized coil 31 is a direct current, and the electromagnetic force generated between the energized coil 31 and the permanent magnet 10 is opposite to the direction of the restoring force. The electromagnetic force is configured to weaken or offset the restoring force to enhance the user experience.

[0059] Alternatively, the current flowing through the energized coil 31 is a direct current, and the electromagnetic force generated between the energized coil 31 and the permanent magnet 10 is opposite to the direction of the force driving the handle body 1 to rotate. The electromagnetic force is configured to weaken or drive the rotational force of the handle body 1 to enhance the user experience.

[0060] Alternatively, the current flowing through the energized coil 31 is a direct current, and the electromagnetic force generated between the energized coil 31 and the permanent magnet 10 is in the same direction as the rotational force of the push handle body 1. The electromagnetic force is configured to enhance the rotational force of the push handle body 1 to enhance the user experience.

[0061] In an optional example, the current of the energized coil 31 is an alternating current, the magnetic conductive component 30 generates an alternating electromagnetic field, and an alternating electromagnetic force is generated between the magnetic conductive component 31 and the permanent magnet 10 to make the handle body 1 vibrate relative to the handle base 2.

[0062] For example, the current passed through the energized coil 31 is an alternating current or a high-frequency current. The electromagnet formed by the energized coil 31 and the magnetic conductive part 30 can generate an alternating electromagnetic field. When the handle body 1 is pushed, the permanent magnet 10 acts to cut the magnetic lines of force in the alternating electromagnetic field. Since the size and direction of the electromagnetic field change with the size and direction of the input current, the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive part 30 can vibrate relative to each other, so that the handle body 1 vibrates relative to the handle base 2 to improve the user experience.

[0063] In an optional example, a mounting hole is provided at the bottom of the handle body 1, and the permanent magnet 10 is fixed in the mounting hole by bonding. Figure 1 The handle body 1 includes a ball cap portion 11 and a rotating rod 12 integrally formed with the ball cap portion 11;

[0064] A mounting hole is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 12, wherein the axial direction of the mounting hole is the same as the axial direction of the rotating rod 12. The permanent magnet 10 is disposed in the mounting hole, and the axial direction of the permanent magnet is coaxial with the axial direction of the mounting hole.

[0065] In this example, bonding is used to improve the connection firmness between the handle body 1 and the permanent magnet 10 .

[0066] In an optional example, the surface of the permanent magnet 10 close to the magnetic conductive member 30 is spherical. For example, the permanent magnet 10 includes a connecting portion and a sensing portion, wherein the connecting portion is configured to be fixedly connected to the connecting rod 12; the surface of the sensing portion is spherical, wherein the sensing portion itself has magnetism, and on the one hand, can generate magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member, or between the magnetic conductive member and the electromagnet formed by the energized coil 31; on the other hand, the sensing portion is spherical, which facilitates the rotation of the handle body 1.

[0067] In an alternative example, referring to Figure 1 , the handle body 1 is connected to the handle base 2 via a positioning shaft 20;

[0068] The handle base 2 is a shell with two open ends, and two opposite side walls of the handle base 2 are provided with positioning holes 201; for example, the end surface of the handle base 1 close to the base 3 and the end surface away from the base 3 are both open. When the handle body 1 passes through the handle base 2, a force can be generated between the permanent magnet 10 and the magnetic conductive member 30 to adjust the restoring force of the operating device and the rotational force of the handle body 1.

[0069] The handle body 1 passes through the handle base 2, and a through hole 121 corresponding to the positioning hole 201 is opened on the handle body 1; for example, a through hole 121 is opened in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating rod 12. When the handle body 1 passes through the handle base 2, the positioning hole 201 corresponds to the through hole 121, and the positioning shaft 20 passes through the positioning hole 201 and the through hole 121, so that the handle body 1 is rotatably connected with the positioning shaft 20.

[0070] In this example, the operating device can rotate in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so that when the user operates the ball cap 11 with his fingers, the operating device can move in all directions within a certain conical space.

[0071] In this example, the handle body 1 passes through the handle base 2, so that the permanent magnet 10 fixed on the handle body 1 and the magnetic conductive part 30 fixed on the base can generate a force. This example optimizes the structure and volume of the operating device by reasonably designing the structure and position relationship of the handle body and the handle base.

[0072] In an optional example, the base 3 includes a connecting portion and a bearing portion; the connecting portion 32 and the bearing portion 33 are integrally formed; the connecting portion 32 and the bearing portion 33 are both hollow structures;

[0073] The handle base 2 is located in the hollow part of the hollow structure of the connecting part 32;

[0074] The magnetic conductive member 30 is located in the hollow part of the hollow structure of the bearing portion 33;

[0075] The connection portion 32 is provided with a receiving groove on its surface close to the handle base, and both ends of the handle base are placed on the receiving groove; the handle base is fixedly connected to the connection portion via a connecting piece.

[0076] For example, a connecting column is formed on the second direction of the handle base 2, and the connecting column is embedded in the receiving groove. In this example, the height of the operating device is reduced. Optionally, the connecting column is formed with a clamping block. When the connecting column is embedded in the receiving groove, the clamping block is pulled so that the connecting column and the clamping block are arranged vertically. The clamping block limits the movement of the handle base 2 along the Y-axis direction, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the handle base 2 and the base 3.

[0077] When the handle base 2 is placed on the connecting portion 32, the side walls of the connecting portion 32 do not cover the positioning hole 201 provided on the handle base 2, so the positioning shaft 20 is exposed outside the connecting portion 32, thereby preventing the positioning shaft 20 from interfering with the side walls of the connecting portion 32 when the handle body 1 drives the positioning shaft 20 to rotate during rotation, thereby affecting the rotation sensitivity of the handle body 1.

[0078] In an optional example, the connecting member 21 is in an arch bridge shape;

[0079] The surface of the connecting portion 32 close to the handle base 2 is formed with a fixing column 321, the middle of the connecting member 21 is arranged above the two ends of the handle base 2, and the two ends of the connecting member 21 are fixedly connected to the fixing column 321. For example, the middle of the connecting member 21 is a semi-arc structure, and the middle of the connecting member 21 is placed on the connecting column; the two ends of the connecting member 21 are flat plate structures, wherein connecting holes are opened on the flat plate structures, and the connecting holes are fixedly connected to the fixing column.

[0080] The connection structure of this example is simple and the connection method is convenient. On the one hand, the connection firmness between the handle base 2 and the connection part 32 is improved. On the other hand, the connection structure of this example can also facilitate the disassembly between the handle base 2 and the base 3.

[0081] In an optional example, the magnetic conductive member 30 is a magnet with the same polarity as the permanent magnet, or the magnetic conductive member 30 is a metal core attracted by the permanent magnet. For example, the metal core can be an iron core, a copper core, an alloy sheet, etc., as long as it can be attracted by the permanent magnet 10.

[0082] Optionally, the magnetic conductive member is a magnet, the permanent magnet 10 is a magnet with the same polarity as the permanent magnet, or the permanent magnet 10 is a metal core attracted by the permanent magnet. For example, the metal core can be an iron core, a copper core, an alloy sheet, etc., as long as it can be attracted by the magnetic conductive member 30.

[0083] Optionally, the energized coil 31 may also be disposed on a permanent magnet, wherein the principle is the same as that of being disposed on a magnetic conductive member, and will not be described in detail herein.

[0084] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of example, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
