In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0040] Some implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0041] See also Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a control device 100, comprising a fixed body component 10, a moving body component 20, and a sensing component 30. The moving body component 20 is mounted on the fixed body component 10 and can move relative to the fixed body component 10; the sensing component 30 is arranged corresponding to the moving body component 20, and is used to sense movement information of the moving body component 20.

[0042] The control device 100 may be a component adapted to other electronic devices, or may be an independently arranged device.

[0043] Specifically, the fixed body component 10 includes a housing 101, a fixed component 102 and a first magnetic member 103. The fixed component 102 is connected to the housing 101 and arranged at intervals; the first magnetic member 103 is arranged on the housing 101. The moving body component 20 includes a key module 201, a motion base 202 and a second magnetic member 203. The key module 201 is exposed to the housing 101 and is used to receive external forces; the motion base 202 is connected to the key module 201 and is movably connected to the fixed component 102, and is used to move relative to the fixed component 102 under the external forces transmitted from the key module 201; please refer to Figure 3 The second magnetic member 203 and the first magnetic member 103 are arranged correspondingly, and a magnetic force will be generated between the second magnetic member 203 and the first magnetic member 103.

[0044] The number and arrangement of the first magnetic members 103 and the second magnetic members 203 are not limited here and can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0045] During specific operation, the button module 201 transmits the received external force to the moving base 202 to make the moving base 202 move relative to the fixed component 102, and the sensing component 30 generates a corresponding control instruction based on the movement information of the moving base 202, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the control instruction, wherein the movement information includes but is not limited to the movement distance and the movement direction.

[0046] When the external force acting on the button module 201 disappears, the moving base 202 is reset under the magnetic force of the second magnetic member 203 and the first magnetic member 103 .

[0047] It can be understood that one of the first magnetic part 103 and the second magnetic part 203 can be a magnet and the other can be a magnetic material, that is, a material that can be adsorbed by a magnet, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. The first magnetic part 103 and the second magnetic part 203 can also both be magnets, and the polarities of the opposite sides of the two are opposite, which is not limited here.

[0048] By setting the second magnetic member 203 and the first magnetic member 103, after the movable assembly 20 moves relative to the fixed assembly 10, the movable assembly 20 can be reset under the magnetic force of the second magnetic member 203 and the first magnetic member 103. Since the service life of the magnet is long, the service life of the control device 100 is guaranteed, and the user experience is improved.

[0049] See also Figure 3-4 In some embodiments, the fixed assembly 102 includes a fixed disk 1021 and an oriented plate 1022. The fixed disk 1021 is spaced apart from the housing 101, so that a clamping cavity is formed between the fixed disk 1021 and the housing 101, and the moving body assembly 20 is disposed in the clamping cavity. The oriented plate 1022 is movably connected to at least one of the fixed disk 1021 and the moving base 202, so that the moving base 202 moves relative to the fixed disk 1021 through the oriented plate 1022.

[0050] By disposing the moving body assembly 20 in the clamping cavity, the connection relationship between the components of the manipulation device 100 is simplified, so that the manipulation device 100 can be designed to be more compact.

[0051] See also Figure 5-6 In some embodiments, first moving tracks 1121 are arranged at intervals on the fixed disk 1021, and movable connecting parts 1122 adapted to the first moving tracks 1121 are arranged on opposite sides of the directional plate 1022. By providing the first moving tracks 1121 and the movable connecting parts 1122, the directional plate 1022 can move in the first direction relative to the fixed disk 1021. The first direction is the moving direction of the movable connecting part 1122 on the first moving track 1121.

[0052] Specifically, the fixing assembly 102 further includes a first stopper 1023 connected to the fixing plate 1021, a stopper groove 1123 is provided on the first stopper 1023, and the oriented plate 1022 is provided between the first stopper 1023 and the fixing plate 1021 and accommodated in the stopper groove 1123. The first stopper 1023 simplifies the connection between the oriented plate 1022 and the fixing plate 1021, so that the oriented plate 1022 and the fixing plate 1021 can be assembled and disassembled better.

[0053] Furthermore, the directional plate 1022 is provided with a second moving track 1222, and the directional plate 1022 is movably connected to the moving base 202 via the second moving track 1222, so that the moving base 202 can move in a second direction relative to the directional plate 1022. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] By providing the first motion track 1121 and the second motion track 1222 , the motion range of the motion base 202 is increased, that is, the control device 100 can define more control instructions according to the movement information of the motion base 202 , thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the second moving track 1222 is arranged between the first moving track 1121, and the fixed disk 1021 is also provided with a through hole between the first moving track 1121, the moving base 202 is provided with a connecting rod 2021, the connecting rod 2021 is penetrated through the through hole and the second moving track 1222 on the fixed disk 1021 and the directional plate 1022, and a second limiting member 204 is provided on the side close to the sensing component 30, the second limiting member 204 is connected to the moving base 202, and forms a limiting fit in a third direction, wherein the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0056] It is understandable that the first moving track 1121 and the second moving track 1222 include but are not limited to straight tracks, arc tracks, etc. The specific structures of the first moving track 1121 and the movable connecting part 1122 can be set according to the specific track type, and no limitation is made here.

[0057] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the button module 201 includes a button body 2011, a support member 2012, and a button sensor 2013. The button body 2011 is exposed to the housing 101 and is used to receive external force; the support member 2012 is used to connect the button body 2011 and the motion base 202, so that the button body 2011 pushes the motion base 202 to move relative to the fixed component 102 under the action of external force, and an accommodating cavity is formed between the support member 2012 and the motion base 202, and the second magnetic member 203 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity; the button sensor 2013 is connected to the motion base 202 and is arranged corresponding to the button body 2011, and is used to detect whether the corresponding button body 2011 is triggered.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the button body 2011 includes a button part 2111, a connecting part 2211 and a positioning member 2311, the shell 101 is provided with a first button hole 1011 corresponding to the button body 2011, the supporting member 2012 is provided with a second button hole 2112 corresponding to the button body 2011, the connecting part 2211 is penetrated through the first button hole 1011 and the second button hole 2112, so that the button part 2111 is exposed to the shell 101, and the button body 2011 is limited by the positioning member 2311.

[0059] The key sensing member 2013 includes a triggering member 2113 and a detecting member 2213. The triggering member 2113 includes a deformation part 2123 and a triggering part 2133. The triggering part 2133 is connected to the deformation part 2123 corresponding to the key body 2011. The deformation part 2123 can generate elastic deformation under the action of external force. The detecting member 2213 is arranged corresponding to the triggering member 2113.

[0060] When the key body 2011 is subjected to an external force, the key body 2011 causes the deformation portion 2123 to generate elastic deformation, so that the trigger portion 2133 contacts the detection member 2213 , and the detection member 2213 generates a signal corresponding to the key body 2011 being triggered.

[0061] A gasket 2014 is further provided between the shell 101 and the support member 2012 , and the gasket 2014 is used to reduce the friction between the moving body assembly 20 and the shell 101 when the moving body assembly 20 is moving, thereby extending the service life of the components and improving the user experience.

[0062] The number and arrangement of the button bodies 2011 are not limited here and can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0063] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, the sensing component 30 includes a reflector 301, a light emitting element 302 and a light sensing element 303. The reflector 301 is connected to the motion base 202, the light emitting element 302 is arranged corresponding to the reflector 301, and the light sensing element 303 is used to receive light information reflected by the reflector 301.

[0064] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the reflector 301 is arranged on the second stopper 204, and the second stopper 204 is connected to the moving base 202 through a connecting rod 2021. When the moving base 202 moves, the reflector 301 is driven to move. The light-emitting element 302 includes a light-emitting tube 3021 and a lens 3022. The lens 3022 radiates the light emitted by the light-emitting tube 3021 to the reflector 301, so that the photosensitive element 303 receives the light information reflected by the reflector 301, thereby obtaining the movement information of the moving base 202 according to the light information.
