[0038] The present invention provides a rocker device 100 .
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the rocker device 100 includes a mounting body 10, a first slide 20, a second slide 30, a rocker 50 and a reset mechanism. The first slide 20 is slidably disposed on the mounting body 10, and the first slide 20 is provided with a first slot 21; the second slide 30 is slidably disposed on the mounting body 10 and is located on one side of the thickness direction of the first slide 20, the second slide 30 is provided with a second slot 31, and the second slot 31 partially crosses and overlaps with the first slot 21; the rocker 50 is movably disposed on the mounting body 10, and the rocker 50 passes through the first slot 21 and the second slot 31, and the reset mechanism is used to provide a reset force to the first slide 20 when the first slide 20 moves relative to the mounting body 10, and is used to provide a reset force to the second slide 30 when the second slide 30 moves relative to the mounting body 10.
[0040] Specifically, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be slidably disposed on the mounting body 10, and in the initial position, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 are stacked in the thickness direction. The first slide 20 is provided with a first slot body 21, and the second slide 30 is provided with a second slot body 31. The first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31 partially cross-overlap, that is, a part of the orthographic projection of the first slot body 21 on the second slide 30 cross-overlaps with the area where the second slot body 31 is located, and the cross-overlap area is formed by part of the side edge of the first slot body 21 and part of the side edge of the second slot body 31. The rocker 50 passes through the cross-overlap area of the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31. The rocker 50 can drive one of the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to move alone under the action of an external force, and can also drive the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to move in opposite directions at the same time under the action of an external force. For example, Figure 6 As shown, when the rocker 50 applies a force to the side edge of the first slot body 21, the first slide 20 can be driven to move toward the side away from the second slide 30, while the second slide 30 remains stationary; when the rocker 50 applies a force to the side edge of the second slot body 31, the second slide 30 can be driven to move toward the side away from the first slide 20, while the first slide 20 remains stationary; when the rocker 50 applies a force to the intersection of the side edge of the first slot body 21 and the side edge of the second slot body 31, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be driven to move in opposite directions at the same time. When the force of the rocker 50 on the first slide 20 disappears, the reset mechanism can drive the first slide 20 to move to the initial position relative to the installation body 10; when the force of the rocker 50 on the second slide 30 disappears, the reset mechanism can drive the second slide 30 to move to the initial position relative to the installation body 10.
[0041] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, in the initial position, the first slide plate 20 is located above the second slide plate 30, the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31 are both arranged in a substantially triangular shape, the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31 are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction, and the top corners of the first slot body 21 and the top corners of the second slot body 31 cross and overlap. Figure 8 As shown, when the user pushes the rocker 50 to the right, the rocker 50 abuts against the right edge of the first slot 21 to drive the first slide 20 to slide to the right relative to the installation body 10; when the user stops pushing the rocker 50, the reset mechanism drives the first slide 20 to slide to the left to the initial position, during which the second slide 30 remains stationary relative to the installation body 10. Fig. 9 As shown, when the user pushes the rocker 50 to the left, the rocker 50 abuts against the left edge of the second slot 31 to drive the second slide 30 to slide to the left relative to the installation body 10; when the user stops pushing the rocker 50, the reset mechanism drives the second slide 30 to slide to the right to the initial position, during which the first slide 20 remains stationary relative to the installation body 10. Fig.10 As shown, when the user pushes the joystick 50 upward or downward, the joystick 50 presses against the intersection of the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31 to drive the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to move in opposite directions at the same time (that is, the first slide 20 moves to the right and the second slide 30 moves to the left at the same time); when the user no longer pushes the joystick 50, the reset mechanism drives the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to slide to the initial position.
[0042] The technical solution of the present invention is that the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 are stacked in the thickness direction, the first slide 20 is provided with a first slot body 21, the second slide 30 is provided with a second slot body 31, and the second slot body 31 overlaps with the first slot body 21; the rocker 50 passes through the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31, and the rocker 50 can drive one of the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to move alone under the action of external force, and can also drive the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to move in the opposite direction at the same time under the action of external force, and when the external force disappears, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be reset relative to the installation body 10 through the reset mechanism, so that the movement of the rocker 50 in various directions can be realized. Compared with the traditional rocker 50 using the rotating shaft cam structure, the rocker device 100 of the present invention can realize the movement of the rocker 50 in various directions through the stacked slide structure, the overall structure is simple, and the space occupation is greatly reduced. When it is applied to electronic equipment, the required installation space is small, which can be conducive to the miniaturization design of the electronic equipment.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the mounting body 10 includes a shell 11 and a bracket 12, the bracket 12 and the reset mechanism are both installed in the shell 11, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be slidably installed on the bracket 12, the rocker 50 includes a keycap 51 exposed from the shell 11, and a rod body 52 connected to the keycap 51, the rod body 52 is inserted into the shell 11 and passes through the first slot body 21 and the second slot body 31.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the shell 11 is used to form the main appearance structure of the rocker device 100. A receiving cavity is formed inside the shell 11. The bracket 12 and the reset mechanism are both installed in the receiving cavity of the shell 11. The first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be slidably installed on the bracket 12. The keycap 51 of the rocker 50 is exposed outside the shell 11 to facilitate user operation. When the user moves the keycap 51, it can drive the rod body 52 to move, and then drive the first slide 20 and / or the second slide 30 to move through the rod body 52. It should be noted that in Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5In order to facilitate observation of the matching structure of the various components inside the shell 11, the shell 11 is simplified and only the cover portion of the shell 11 is shown.
[0045] For further information, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bracket 12 is provided with a first guide groove 121 and a second guide groove 122 extending in parallel, the first slide 20 is slidably matched with the first guide groove 121, the second slide 30 is slidably matched with the second guide groove 122, one end of the first guide groove 121 is provided with a first limiting rib 123 matched with the first slide 20 stopper, one end of the second guide groove 122 is provided with a second limiting rib 124 matched with the second slide 30 stopper, the first limiting rib 123 and the second limiting rib 124 are respectively located at opposite sides of the bracket 12. The first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 can respectively guide the movement of the first slide 20 and the second slide 30; at the same time, the first limiting rib 123 and the second limiting rib 124 can respectively limit the movement stroke of the first slide 20 and the second slide 30, so that the movement of the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 can be ensured to be more stable. For example, in this embodiment, the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 both extend in the left-right direction, the left end of the first guide groove 121 is provided with a first limiting rib 123, and the right end of the second guide groove 122 is provided with a second limiting rib 124.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 12 includes a base plate 125 and two guide rails 126 respectively arranged on opposite sides of the base plate 125, the outer side surfaces of the two guide rails 126 are respectively provided with the first guide groove 121, the opposite sides of the first slide 20 are respectively provided with inner flanges matching with the first guide groove 121, the inner side surfaces of the two guide rails 126 are respectively provided with the second guide groove 122, the opposite sides of the second slide 30 are respectively provided with outer flanges matching with the second guide groove 122, and the base plate 125 is provided with an avoidance hole 127 for the rocker 50 to pass through.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, guide rails 126 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the base plate 125, and each guide rail 126 extends in the left-right direction. The outer side and inner side of each guide rail 126 are respectively provided with a first guide groove 121 and a second guide groove 122. The upper and lower outer edges of the first slide 20 are provided with inner flanges folded inward, and the upper and lower outer edges of the second slide 30 are provided with outer flanges extending outward. The two inner flanges of the first slide 20 are respectively slidably installed in the two first guide grooves 121, which can further ensure the installation stability and sliding stability of the first slide 20. The two outer flanges of the second slide 30 are respectively slidably installed in the two second guide grooves 122, which can further ensure the installation stability and sliding stability of the second slide 30. In addition, the first slide 20, the second slide 30 and the base plate 125 are stacked, and the rocker 50 can pass through the first slot body 21, the second slot body 31 and the avoidance hole 127. The overall structure is compact and occupies little space.
[0048] In one embodiment, the reset mechanism includes a rotating member 41, a first elastic member 42 and a second elastic member 43, the rotating member 41 is rotatably connected to the first slide 20, the first slide 20 is provided with an abutment portion 22 abutting against the rotating member 41, the first elastic member 42 is connected between the rotating member 41 and the installation body 10, and the second elastic member 43 is connected between the second slide 30 and the installation body 10.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating member 41 can be rotatably mounted on the first sliding plate 20 via a connecting member 80 (such as a screw or a pin). Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first slide 20 can slide rightward relative to the bracket 12, the second slide 30 can slide leftward relative to the bracket 12, the rotating member 41 is rotatably installed at the lower left corner of the first slide 20, and the lower side edge of the first slide 20 is provided with an abutting portion 22 that abuts against the rotating member 41. The first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 can both be tension springs, the rotating member 41 is provided with a first connecting portion for connecting the first elastic member 42, the second slide 30 is provided with a second connecting portion for connecting the second elastic member 43, and the housing 11 of the installation body 10 is provided with connecting columns for connecting the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 respectively. The first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 are both pre-deformed and assembled to achieve a larger initial tension.
[0050] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the rocker device 100 further includes a position detection component 60 disposed on the mounting body 10, and the position detection component 60 is used to detect the position information of the rocker 50. When the user moves the rocker 50, the position detection component 60 can detect the position information of the rocker 50, and feed the detection information back to the control system of the rocker device 100, so as to facilitate the control system to grasp the position information of the rocker 50 in real time and issue corresponding instructions. There are many ways to realize the position detection of the rocker 50 through the position detection component 60, for example, contact detection or non-contact detection can be adopted.
[0051] In one embodiment, the position detection component 60 includes a circuit board 61, a magnetic induction sensor 62 and a magnetic component 63. The magnetic induction sensor 62 is arranged on the circuit board 61, and the magnetic component 63 is arranged on the joystick 50. The magnetic induction sensor 62 and the magnetic component 63 are respectively located on opposite sides of the circuit board 61. The magnetic induction sensor 62 cooperates with the magnetic component 63 to detect the position information of the joystick 50.
[0052] Specifically, the magnetic member 63 can be fixed to the bottom of the rocker 50, and the magnetic induction sensor 62 can be a Hall sensor provided on the circuit board 61. The magnetic member 63 and the magnetic induction sensor 62 are respectively located on opposite sides of the circuit board 61. When the rocker 50 moves, the magnetic member 63 can move with the rocker 50, and the magnetic induction sensor 62 senses the change in the magnetic field, and then can determine the position information of the magnetic member 63 (that is, the position information of the rocker 50), and feed the position information back to the control system. Since the magnetic induction sensor 62 and the magnetic member 63 are non-contact, no physical contact and friction will be generated during the entire detection process, which can avoid the drift phenomenon caused by unstable signals, and the detection results are more accurate and reliable, and can avoid wear and tear, thereby increasing the service life.
[0053] In order to achieve better human-computer interaction, the joystick device 100 can provide different force feedback to the user in different control scenarios (such as collision, jumping, etc. in the game). Figure 1Further, the rocker device 100 also includes a force feedback component 70 disposed on the mounting body 10, the force feedback component 70 is electrically connected to the position detection component 60, and the force feedback component 70 is used to apply a reset force to the first slide 20 and / or the second slide 30 according to the information fed back by the position detection component 60. For example, when the position detection component 60 detects that the rocker 50 is toggled to the right, the first slide 20 moves to the right, and after the rocker 50 stops toggling, the force feedback component 70 can apply a reverse reset force to the first slide 20. When the position detection component 60 detects that the rocker 50 is toggled to the left, the second slide 30 moves to the left, and after the rocker 50 stops toggling, the force feedback component 70 can apply a reverse reset force to the second slide 30. In addition, the feedback component can also adjust the reset force according to the change amplitude of the position of the rocker 50, so that the user can feel feedback of different strengths.
[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reset mechanism includes a rotating member 41, a first elastic member 42 and a second elastic member 43. The rotating member 41 is rotatably connected to the first slide 20. The first slide 20 is provided with an abutment portion 22 abutting against the rotating member 41. The first elastic member 42 is connected between the rotating member 41 and the mounting body 10. The second elastic member 43 is connected between the second slide 30 and the mounting body 10. The force feedback assembly 70 acts on the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30.
[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating member 41 can be rotatably mounted on the first sliding plate 20 via a connecting member 80 (such as a screw or a pin). Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first slide 20 can slide rightward relative to the bracket 12, and the second slide 30 can slide leftward relative to the bracket 12. The rotating member 41 is rotatably installed at the lower left corner of the first slide 20, and the lower side edge of the first slide 20 is provided with an abutment portion 22 that abuts and cooperates with the rotating member 41. The first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 can both use tension springs, the rotating member 41 is provided with a first connection portion for connecting the first elastic member 42, and the second slide 30 is provided with a second connection portion for connecting the second elastic member 43. The housing 11 of the installation body 10 is provided with connecting columns for connecting the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 respectively. The first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 are both pre-deformed and assembled to achieve a larger initial tension. By arranging the rotating member 41 on the first slide 20, the force applied by the force feedback assembly 70 can be transmitted to the first slide 20 through the rotating member 41, and the force feedback assembly 70 can also directly apply a force to the second slide 30. In this way, no matter which direction the rocker 50 moves, the entire device only needs to be equipped with a set of force feedback components 70 to provide the restoring force for the rocker 50 to move in all directions, which can further reduce space occupancy and save costs.
[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, in the initial position, the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 are stacked on the bracket 12, and the rotating member 41 is in abutment with the abutment portion 22 of the first slide 20. Figure 8 As shown, when the rocker 50 is pushed to the right, the rocker 50 drives the first slide plate 20 to slide to the right relative to the bracket 12, and at the same time, the abutment portion 22 on the first slide plate 20 applies a force to the rotating member 41 to make the rotating member 41 rotate counterclockwise, and the first elastic member 42 will be deformed during the rotation of the rotating member 41. When the rocker 50 stops being pushed, the first elastic member 42 recovers its deformation and drives the rotating member 41 to rotate in the opposite direction, and then the rotating member 41 pushes the first slide plate 20 to move to the left to drive the rocker 50 to reset; in this process, the force feedback component 70 can also apply a reset force to the rotating member 41. Fig. 9 As shown, when the rocker 50 is pushed to the left, the rocker 50 drives the second slide 30 to move to the left relative to the bracket 12, and the second elastic member 43 is deformed. When the rocker 50 stops being pushed, the second elastic member 43 recovers its deformation and drives the second slide 30 to move to the right, so as to reset the rocker 50; in this process, the force feedback component 70 can also apply a reset force to the rotating member 41. Fig.10As shown, when the rocker 50 is pushed upward (or downward), the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 move in opposite directions at the same time, the rotating member 41 rotates counterclockwise, and the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 are deformed. When the rocker 50 stops being pushed, the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 recover their deformation, and the rotating member 41 rotates clockwise, thereby driving the first slide 20, the second slide 30 and the rocker 50 to reset; in this process, the force feedback component 70 can also apply a reset force to the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30 at the same time. That is, the reset force felt by the user is composed of the elastic force provided by the elastic member (the first elastic member 42 and / or the second elastic member 43) and the torque of the force feedback component 70.
[0057] In order to enable the rocker device 100 to switch freely between the normal working mode (no feedback force) and the force feedback working mode to meet the different usage requirements of users, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the force feedback component 70 includes a driving motor 71 and a swinging member 72, and the swinging member 72 is connected to the rotating output shaft of the driving motor 71. When driven by the driving motor 71, the swinging member 72 can simultaneously and detachably abut against the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30.
[0058] Specifically, in the normal working mode (without feedback force), the drive motor 71 drives the swing member 72 to separate from the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30, and the user feels that the reset force of the rocker 50 is provided by the first elastic member 42 and / or the second elastic member 43. In the force feedback working mode, when the user flicks the rocker 50, the position detection component 60 outputs the position information of the rocker 50, the drive motor 71 is energized, and the drive motor 71 drives the swing member 72 to move until it is simultaneously against the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30. At this time, the user feels that the reset force of the rocker 50 is composed of the elastic force provided by the elastic member (the first elastic member 42 and / or the second elastic member 43) and the motor torque. Specifically, in the force feedback working mode, the swing member 72 is against the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30 at the same time; Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, if the rocker 50 only drives the first slide plate 20 to slide rightward alone, the first slide plate 20 drives the rotating member 41 to rotate toward the side close to the swinging member 72. At this time, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the first elastic member 42 is superimposed on the motor torque to provide a reset force; Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, if the rocker 50 only drives the second slide plate 30 to slide alone, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the second elastic member 43 is superimposed on the motor torque to provide a reset force; Figure 6 and Fig.10As shown, if the rocker 50 drives the first slide 20 and the second slide 30 to slide in the opposite direction at the same time, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 43 is superimposed on the motor torque to provide a reset force. In this way, no matter which direction the rocker 50 moves, the entire system only needs to provide a drive motor 71 to provide a reset force. And the swing member 72 can be detachably matched with the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30, that is, the swing member 72 has a separation position and a push position relative to the rotating member 41 and the second slide 30 instead of always being in a connected state. In this way, the rocker device can be freely switched between the normal working mode and the force feedback working mode by driving the swing member 72 to move between the separation position and the push position by the drive motor 71. In the normal working mode, there is no force feedback, which is more power-saving; in the force feedback working mode, the game experience is richer. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of slow or difficult reset of the rocker 50 due to the resistance of the deceleration mechanism.
