Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of controllers, and specifically to a rocker controller that combines the functions of a knob and a button. Background Art

[0002] The function of a rocker is to control the actions in a device through the direction output of the rocker. Currently, in the fields of amusement equipment, industrial robots, etc., a rocker controller is a very important component. It controls the movement direction and actions of an industrial robot or other moving parts through an analog reproduction operation method. Since the movement directions and action designs of existing amusement equipment and industrial robots are becoming more and more complex, higher requirements are put forward for the rocker controller. However, traditional rocker controllers usually can only output different control signals according to the rocking direction of the rocker, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of multiple functions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rocker controller that can output multiple control signals. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the defects existing in the prior art, the task of the present invention is to provide a rocker controller that combines the functions of a knob and a button, which can output multiple control signals to achieve multiple control functions.

[0004] The task of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A rocker controller that combines the functions of a knob and a button includes a base, a rocker, and a knob assembly. The rocker is inserted into the base. At least one induction switch is provided in the base. The rocker and the base are respectively provided with a spherical cone and a spherical groove that cooperate with each other so that the rocker can rock relative to the base in different directions and generate different first induction signals through the induction switch. A first spring is further provided between the rocker and the base so that the rocker can automatically reset to the vertical state. The knob assembly includes a knob rotating shaft fixedly connected. A magnet is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft. An installation cylinder is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rocker. A Hall induction circuit board is provided in the installation cylinder. The knob is movably sleeved outside the installation cylinder and the rotating shaft is inserted into the installation cylinder. The magnet and the Hall induction circuit board are arranged opposite to each other up and down. The knob assembly can rotate relative to the installation cylinder and thereby generate a second induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board. At least one elastic positioning component is further provided between the knob assembly and the installation cylinder. The knob assembly can also slide up and down relative to the installation cylinder and thereby generate a third induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board. A second spring is further provided between the rotating shaft assembly and the installation cylinder so that the knob assembly can automatically reset to the initial state in the up and down direction.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, at least one set of vertical limiting blocks and limiting grooves are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the spherical cone and the spherical groove. The limiting blocks are placed in the limiting grooves and the width of the limiting blocks is smaller than the width of the limiting grooves.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting block is of a trapezoidal structure, and the width of the upper part of the limiting block is greater than that of the lower part.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the inductive switch is a microswitch, and the number is four. The trigger shrapnels of the four microswitches are respectively placed in the front, rear, left, and right directions of the rocker. When the rocker moves forward, backward, left, or right in the positive direction, it can trigger the trigger shrapnels of the corresponding microswitches, so as to respectively generate the first induction signals of moving forward, backward, left, and right in the positive direction. When the rocker moves obliquely, it can simultaneously trigger the trigger shrapnels of the corresponding adjacent two microswitches, so as to generate the first induction signal of oblique movement.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a spring seat is provided at the lower end of the rocker. The first spring is sleeved outside the rocker, and the upper and lower ends respectively abut against the upper cover of the base and the spring seat. When the rocker shakes relative to the base, it touches the trigger shrapnel of the microswitch through the spring seat; the rocker is of a hollow structure so that the wires of the Hall induction circuit board can pass through it from the lower end of the rocker and extend out.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, at least one positioning groove is provided at the upper end of the mounting cylinder. The elastic positioning assembly includes a third spring and a positioning member provided in the positioning groove. The positioning member elastically abuts against the knob under the action of the third spring.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, an annular groove is provided on the top wall of the inner cavity of the knob. A plurality of concave positions are provided at the bottom of the annular groove and are evenly spaced. The positioning member elastically abuts against the bottom of the annular groove upward under the action of the third spring, so as to be able to position the knob by using each concave position at the bottom of the groove.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the positioning member is of an inverted T-shaped structure. A detachable annular pressing plate is provided at the upper end of the mounting cylinder. Jacks corresponding to each positioning groove are provided on the annular pressing plate. The lower end of the positioning member is located in the corresponding positioning groove, and the upper end passes through the corresponding jack on the annular pressing plate and extends upward. The upper and lower ends of the third spring respectively abut against the lower end of the positioning member and the bottom of the positioning groove.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder through an upper bearing and a lower bearing. A shoulder is provided between the upper bearing and the lower bearing in the mounting cylinder. The second spring includes an upper elastic gasket and a lower elastic gasket. The upper elastic gasket elastically abuts between the upper end of the shoulder and the upper bearing, and the lower elastic gasket elastically abuts between the lower end of the shoulder and the lower bearing, so that after the rotating shaft moves upward or downward, it can automatically return to the initial position in the vertical direction under the elastic force of the second spring.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the frictional damping generated by the pulling force exerted by the first spring on the rocker is greater than the frictional damping exerted by the elastic positioning assembly on the knob assembly, so that when the knob is rotated, the knob can rotate relative to the rocker, while the rocker will not rotate relative to the base; the downward elastic force exerted by the first spring on the rocker is greater than the downward elastic force exerted by the second spring on the knob assembly, so that when the knob is lifted upward, the knob assembly can move upward relative to the mounting cylinder, while the rocker will not move upward relative to the base.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, a rocker controller with both knob and button functions provided by this patent has the following advantages: the rocker can shake relative to the base in different directions and then generate different first induction signals through the induction switch, and can be reset under the action of the first spring; the knob can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder and then generate a second induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board, and can be automatically positioned under the action of the elastic positioning assembly; the knob can slide up and down relative to the mounting cylinder and then generate a third induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board, and can be automatically reset under the action of the second spring. Therefore, the rocker controller of this patent can generate a variety of different control signals by shaking the rocker, rotating the knob, and pressing and lifting the knob, respectively, to achieve a variety of control functions, which is equivalent to having the functions of a rocker controller, a knob controller, and a button controller at the same time, and the structural design is simple and ingenious, the operation is convenient, and the operation experience is good.

[0026] As Figure 1-7As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a rocker controller that combines the functions of a knob and a button, including a base 1, a rocker 2, and a knob assembly 3. The rocker 2 and the base 1 are respectively provided with a spherical cone 21 and a spherical groove 11 that cooperate with each other. A perforation 112 is provided at the bottom of the spherical groove 11. The rocker 2 is inserted into the base 1 through the perforation 112. A number of induction switches are provided inside the base 1. The rocker 2 and the base 1, through the cooperating spherical cone 21 and spherical groove 11, enable the rocker 2 to rock relative to the base 1 in different directions and generate different first induction signals through the induction switches. A first spring 5 is also provided between the rocker 2 and the base 1 to enable the rocker 2 to automatically reset to the vertical state. The knob assembly 3 includes a knob 31 and a rotating shaft 32 that are fixedly connected. A magnet 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 32 through a magnet mounting seat 323. An installation cylinder 7 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rocker 2. A Hall induction circuit board 9 is provided inside the installation cylinder 7. The knob 31 is movably sleeved outside the installation cylinder 7 and the rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the installation cylinder 7. The magnet 8 and the Hall induction circuit board 9 are arranged opposite to each other up and down. The knob assembly 3 can rotate relative to the installation cylinder 7 and thereby generate a second induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board 9. A number of elastic positioning components 71 are also provided between the knob assembly 3 and the installation cylinder 7. The knob assembly 3 can also slide up and down relative to the installation cylinder 7 and thereby generate a third induction signal through the Hall induction circuit board 9. A second spring 6 is also provided between the rotating shaft 32 assembly and the installation cylinder 7 to enable the knob assembly 3 to automatically reset to the initial state in the up and down direction.

[0027] In this embodiment, the induction switch is a micro switch 4, and the number is four. The trigger pieces 41 of the four micro switches 4 are respectively placed in the front, back, left, and right directions of the rocker 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, a spring seat 22 is provided at the lower end of the rocker 2. The first spring 5 is sleeved outside the rocker 2, and its upper and lower ends respectively abut against the upper cover of the base 1 and the spring seat 22. When the rocker 2 rocks relative to the base 1, the trigger piece 41 of the micro switch 4 is touched through the spring seat 22. The rocker 2 is a hollow structure so that the wires of the Hall induction circuit board 9 can pass through it and extend out from the lower end of the rocker 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the spherical cone 21 and the spring seat 22 are detachably and fixedly connected to the rocker 2 through mutually cooperating blocks and slots. The upper end of the rocker 2 and the lower end of the fixed cylinder are fixedly connected by screws, which has a simple structure and is convenient for assembly. In other embodiments, the fixed cylinder can also be a part of the rocker 2 and be integrally formed with the rocker 2.

[0030] A rocker controller with both knob and button functions provided in this embodiment. The rocking of the rocker 2 relative to the base 1 is achieved by the mutual cooperation of the spherical cone 21 and the spherical groove 11. The spherical cone 21 is placed inside the spherical groove 11, and with the pre-tightening force of the first spring 5, the rocker 2 can rock arbitrarily within a 360-degree range relative to the base 1 under the action of a rocking external force and can automatically reset to the vertical state (initial state) after the rocking external force is removed. By the spring seat 22 at the lower end of the rocker 2 touching different microswitches 4, different first induction signals can be generated, which is equivalent to having the function of a rocker 2 controller. Specifically, when the rocker 2 moves forward, backward, left, or right in the positive direction, the trigger piece 41 of the corresponding microswitch 4 can be triggered, and thus first induction signals for positive movement in the forward, backward, left, and right directions can be generated respectively. When the rocker 2 moves obliquely, the trigger pieces 41 of two adjacent corresponding microswitches 4 can be triggered simultaneously, and thus a first induction signal for oblique movement can be generated. The knob 31 is sleeved outside the fixed cylinder on the rocker 2 and can rotate forward or backward relative to the rocker 2 under the action of a rotational external force, and then drive the rotating shaft 32 and the magnet 8 to rotate forward or backward relative to the Hall induction circuit board 9, so that different second induction signals can be generated. With the frictional damping of the elastic positioning component 71, the knob 31 can be automatically positioned after the rotational external force is removed to prevent signal errors, which is equivalent to having the function of a knob 31 controller. The knob 31 can also slide up and down relative to the fixed cylinder on the rocker 2 under the action of a pressing or pulling external force, and then drive the rotating shaft 32 and the magnet 8 to change the distance relative to the Hall induction circuit board 9, so that different third induction signals can be generated. With the reset function of the second spring 6, it can automatically reset after the pressing or pulling external force is removed, which is equivalent to also having the function of a button controller. It can be seen that the rocker controller with both knob and button functions provided in this embodiment can generate a variety of different control signals by rocking the rocker 2, rotating the knob 31, and pressing and pulling the knob 31 to achieve a variety of control functions, which is equivalent to having the functions of a rocker 2 controller, a knob 31 controller, and a button controller at the same time. Moreover, the structural design is simple and ingenious, the operation is convenient, and the operation experience is good.

[0031] As a preferred technical solution, two groups of vertical limit blocks 211 and limit grooves 111 are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the spherical cone 21 and the spherical groove 11. The limit block 211 is placed inside the limit groove 111 and the width of the limit block 211 is smaller than the width of the limit groove 111. The advantage of this design is that through the mutual cooperation of the limit block 211 of the spherical cone 21 and the limit groove 111 of the spherical groove 11, and the width of the limit block 211 is smaller than the width of the limit groove 111, it is possible to limit the circumferential rotation of the rocker 2 around its axis without restricting the rocker 2 from rocking in any direction, so as to avoid the wire winding or even damage of the Hall induction circuit board 9.

[0032] As a preferred technical solution, the limit block 211 is a trapezoidal structure, and the width of the upper part of the limit block 211 is greater than the width of the lower part. When the rocker 2 is shaken relative to the base 1, the limit block 211 is shaken in the limit groove 111 with its upper edge as the fulcrum. The lower end width of the limit block 211 is lower than the upper end width, which can make the limit block 211 have a larger shaking angle in the limit groove 111, thereby making the rocking angle range of the rocker 2 larger.

[0033] As a preferred technical solution, a plurality of positioning grooves 73 are provided at the upper end of the mounting tube 7, and the elastic positioning assembly 71 includes a third spring 711 and a positioning member 712 provided in the positioning groove 73, and the positioning member 712 elastically abuts against the knob 31 under the action of the third spring 711. The advantage of this design is that the positioning groove 73 can prevent the third spring 711 and the positioning member 712 from being offset left and right during the rotation of the knob 31, causing the positioning member 712 to fall off, and the third spring 711 is elastically compressed and elastically reset in the positioning groove 73 in the up-down direction, and the positioning groove 73 plays a role in guiding and positioning the third spring 711.

[0034] As a preferred technical solution, the top wall of the inner cavity of the knob 31 is provided with an annular groove 311, and the bottom of the annular groove 311 is provided with a plurality of recesses 312 which are evenly spaced (for example, the number of recesses may be 8 or 12, and the recesses may be circular recesses directly arranged on the plane of the bottom of the groove, or the bottom of the groove may be arranged as a concave-convex wave structure / gear ring structure to form a plurality of recesses), and the positioning member 712 elastically presses upward against the bottom of the annular groove 311 under the action of the third spring 711, so that the respective recesses 312 on the bottom of the groove can be used to produce a positioning effect on the knob 31. The advantage of this design is that when the knob 31 stops rotating, the positioning member 712 elastically presses against the recess 312 in the bottom of the annular groove under the action of the third spring 711, thereby positioning the rotation of the knob 31; when the knob 31 rotates, the positioning member 712 elastically presses against the bottom of the annular groove 311 under the action of the third spring 711, moves out of the recess 312 in the bottom of the groove, and then enters the recess 312, thereby realizing the rotation to generate a signal and increasing the sense of stoppage of the rotation through the cooperation between the positioning member 712 and the recess 312, thereby making the rotation feel better.

[0035] As a preferred technical solution, the positioning member 712 has an inverted T-shaped structure. An annular groove 74 and a detachable annular pressing plate 75 are provided at the upper end of the mounting cylinder 7. Jacks 76 corresponding to each of the positioning grooves 73 are provided on the annular pressing plate 75. The lower end of the positioning member 712 is located in the corresponding positioning groove 73, and the upper end passes through the corresponding jacks 76 on the annular pressing plate 75 and extends upward. The upper and lower ends of the third spring 711 respectively abut against the lower end of the positioning member 712 and the bottom of the positioning groove 73. The advantage of this design is that the annular pressing plate 75 is used to limit the upward movement of the positioning member 712 to the highest point, preventing the positioning member 712 from moving upward excessively under the elastic force of the third spring 711 and falling out of the positioning groove 73. And the annular pressing plate 75 is arranged in the annular groove 74, which can also position the annular pressing plate 75, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the annular pressing plate 75.

[0036] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder 7 through an upper bearing 321 and a lower bearing 322. A shoulder 72 is provided between the upper bearing 321 and the lower bearing 322 inside the mounting cylinder 7. The second spring 6 includes an upper elastic gasket 61 and a lower elastic gasket 62. The upper elastic gasket 61 elastically abuts between the upper end of the shoulder 72 and the upper bearing 321, and the lower elastic gasket 62 elastically abuts between the lower end of the shoulder 72 and the lower bearing 322. Thus, after the external force for the upward movement of the rotating shaft 32 is removed, the rotating shaft 32 can automatically return to the initial position under the action of the upper elastic gasket 61, and after the external force for the downward movement is removed, the rotating shaft 32 can automatically return to the initial position under the action of the lower elastic gasket 62. And this structure uses the upper bearing 321 and the lower bearing 322 as the support seats for the upper elastic gasket 61 and the lower elastic gasket 62, making multiple uses of one object, and the structural design is ingenious and compact.

[0037] As a preferred technical solution, the frictional damping generated by the pulling force applied by the first spring 5 to the rocker 2 is greater than the frictional damping applied by the elastic positioning assembly 71 to the knob assembly 3. Thus, when the knob 31 is rotated, the knob 31 can rotate relative to the rocker 2, while the rocker 2 does not rotate relative to the base 1; the downward elastic force applied by the first spring 5 to the rocker 2 is greater than the downward elastic force applied by the second spring 6 to the knob assembly 3. Thus, when the knob 31 is lifted upward, the knob assembly 3 can move upward relative to the mounting cylinder 7, while the rocker 2 does not move upward relative to the base 1.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the knob 31 and the rotating shaft 32 are fixedly connected together by a fastener 33 inserted downward from the top of the knob 31. The knob assembly 3 further includes a top cover 34 which covers the fastener 33 and is snap-connected to the knob 31. In this embodiment, the fastener 33 is a screw, and a circular counterbore is provided at the top of the knob 31. The head of the screw is located in the counterbore, and the side wall of the counterbore and the outer side wall of the top cover 34 are detachably clamped by a clamping block and a clamping groove, so that the screw can be covered, making the knob 31 more beautiful. Moreover, a light source can be arranged in the space enclosed by the top cover 34 and the top of the knob 31, making the visual effect and function of the knob 31 more diverse.

[0039] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and the explanation of the applied technical principle. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the present application is not limited to the embodiment formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other embodiments formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, the embodiment formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) having similar functions disclosed in the present application.
