[0043] [First Embodiment]

[0044] See Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a control handle 100A. (As indicated...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control handle 100A is suitable for mounting on both sides (e.g., the left and right sides of the electronic device 200) of an electronic device 200 (e.g., a tablet computer, a mobile phone, etc.). In conjunction with... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control handle 100A includes two grips 1 (that is...) Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in 1A and 1B), a connecting line 2 electrically coupled to the two grips 1, a take-up assembly 3A provided on one of the grips 1, and a communication module 4 provided on one of the grips 1 (e.g., 1A and 1B), a connecting line 2 electrically coupled to the two grips 1, a take-up assembly 3A provided on one of the grips 1, and a communication module 4 (e.g., 1A and 1B) provided Figure 4 (As shown).

[0045] It should be noted that although the two grips 1, connecting cable 2, cable retractor 3A, and communication module 4 are collectively defined as the control handle 100A in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the cable retractor 3A can also be used alone (e.g., implemented, manufactured, or sold) or in combination with other components. The structure of each component of the control handle 100A will be described below, and the connection relationships between the components of the control handle 100A will be explained as appropriate.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the two grips 1 in this embodiment are generally partially symmetrical, and the two grips 1 can be respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the electronic device 200, thereby providing operation for the user's left and right hands, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the invention not shown, the two grips 1 may also be asymmetrical to each other and used to be mounted on adjacent sides of the electronic device 200, such as the upper and left sides of the electronic device 200.

[0047] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the following will first describe the identical structures and / or components of the two grips 1, and then describe the different structures and / or components between the two grips 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the two grips 1A and 1B includes a grip body 11, a signal generation module 12 disposed within the grip body 11, and a plurality of operating components 13 electrically coupled to the signal generation module 12.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping body 11 of each grip 1A, 1B includes a gripping unit 111 and a mounting unit 112 detachably connected to the gripping unit 111. That is, the gripping unit 111 and the mounting unit 112 of each grip 1A, 1B are separate, independent single components that can be assembled with each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the gripping unit 111 and the mounting unit 112 of each grip 1A, 1B can also be reasonably designed to be integrally connected with each other, that is, the gripping unit 111 and the mounting unit 112 are single components that cannot be separated from each other.

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the gripping unit 111 includes a first main body 1111, a first holding portion 1112, and a first coupling portion 1113 disposed on the first main body 1111. The first main body 1111 has a shell-like structure, and the first holding portion 1112 is a track structure extending from one side of the first main body 1111. The first coupling portion 1113 is a conductive member (e.g., a gold finger) and is located on the side of the first main body 1111 with the first holding portion 1112, and the first coupling portion 1113 is electrically coupled to the signal generating module 12.

[0050] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting unit 112 can be used to fix one side of the electronic device 200. In this embodiment, the mounting unit 112 includes a second main body 1121, a second holding part 1122 disposed on the second main body 1121, and a second coupling part 1123. The second main body 1121 is generally C-shaped and has a top abutment groove G1121, which can be used to abut against the edge of the electronic device 200, so that the second main body 1121 can be fixed to the electronic device 200 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 9 (As shown).

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting unit 112 has an elastic layer 1124 in the top groove G1121, and the elastic layer 1124 can deform appropriately to abut against the edge of the electronic device 200, thereby ensuring that the electronic device 200 is fixed and absorbing the external force when the electronic device 200 is impacted.

[0052] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second retaining portion 1122 extends from one side of the second main body portion 1121 facing the first retaining portion 1112, and the second retaining portion 1122 is a track structure that can cooperate with the first retaining portion 1112 to fix each other, so that the second retaining portion 1122 can be detachably assembled with the first retaining portion 1112. The second coupling portion 1123 is a conductive member (e.g., a gold finger) and is located on the side of the second main body portion 1121 having the second retaining portion 1122 (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown).

[0053] In actual use, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the first holding portion 1112 of the gripping unit 111 can be connected to the second holding portion 1122 of the mounting unit 112 along a width direction of the electronic device 200 (that is, the extension direction of the short side of the wide side of the electronic device 200), so that the gripping unit 111 is fixed to the mounting unit 112. Furthermore, when the first holding portion 1112 and the second holding portion 1122 are connected, the first coupling portion 1113 and the second coupling portion 1123 are electrically coupled to each other.

[0054] Cooperate Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the signal generation module 12 is a control circuit board disposed within the grip unit 111. A plurality of operating elements 13 are disposed on the grip body 11, with a portion of each operating element 13 exposed on the outer side of the grip body 11, and another portion located on the inner side of the grip body 11. When each operating element 13 is operated by the user (e.g., pressed), the signal generation module 12 generates a corresponding control signal.

[0055] It should be noted that "each of the aforementioned operating elements 13 is operated to enable the signal generation module 12 to generate the corresponding control signal" is prior art and is not the focus of this invention, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In this embodiment, the two grips 1A and 1B are interconnected via a wired connection, meaning they are electrically coupled to each other through the connecting line 2. Specifically, one end of the connecting line 2 is electrically coupled to the first coupling portion 1113 of one grip 1A, and further electrically coupled to the signal generation module 12 of the aforementioned grip 1A via a corresponding second coupling portion 1123; the other end of the connecting line 2 has a connector (located at the exposed end of the connecting line 2, and not shown in the figure), and the connector is pluggably electrically coupled to the first coupling portion 1113 of the other grip 1B, and further electrically coupled to the signal generation module 12 of the aforementioned grip 1B via a corresponding second coupling portion 1123, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practice, the connector can be a Micro-USB connector or a Type-C connector, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0057] For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the connecting line 2 may be directly electrically coupled to the signal generation modules 12 of the two grips 1A and 1B, that is, the connecting line 2 is not electrically coupled to the signal generation modules 12 of the two grips 1A and 1B via the first coupling portion 1113 and the second coupling portion 1123 of the two grips 1A and 1B.

[0058] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention not shown, each of the two grips 1A and 1B may also have a wireless transceiver module electrically coupled to the signal generation module 12, and the wireless transceiver modules of the two grips 1A and 1B may wirelessly transmit the control signal to each other or to the electronic device 200.

[0059] Next, the different structures and / or components between the two grips 1A and 1B will be described below. For ease of explanation, the two grips 1A and 1B are further defined as a cable retraction grip 1A and a cable insertion grip 1B (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the grip 1A in this embodiment can also be referred to as the cable retraction grip 1A, and the grip 1B in this embodiment can also be referred to as the cable insertion grip 1B. The cable retraction grip 1A is used to be installed on the left side of the electronic device 200, and the cable insertion grip 1B is used to be installed on the right side of the electronic device 200, but this is not a limitation of the present invention. For example, the structure or components on the cable insertion grip 1B can be reasonably applied to the cable retraction grip 1A according to the designer's needs; conversely, the structure or components on the cable retraction grip 1A can also be reasonably applied to the cable insertion grip 1B.

[0060] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the plug handle 1B serves as the main communication component, and the plug handle 1B can be directly electrically coupled to the electronic device 200, and electrically coupled to the take-up handle 1A through the connecting line 2. That is to say, the gripping body 11 of the plug handle 1B is provided with the communication module 4 in this embodiment.

[0061] Furthermore, the communication module 4 is electrically coupled to the signal generating module 12 and the second coupling part 1123 (i.e., the signal generating module 12 and the second coupling part 1123 of the plug grip 1B) located within the same grip body 11. When the grip unit 111 of the plug grip 1B is assembled with the mounting unit 112, the communication module 4 is electrically coupled to the connecting line 2 via the corresponding first coupling part 1113 and the second coupling part 1123, thereby electrically coupling the communication module 4 to another signal generating module 12 (i.e., the signal generating module 12 of the take-up grip 1A). Accordingly, the communication module 4 can receive any one of the control signals from the plug grip 1B and the take-up grip 1A, and transmit the control signal to the electronic device 200.

[0062] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the communication module 4 and the signal generation module 12 in the plug grip 1B are two independent modules, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the communication module 4 and the signal generation module 12 of the plug grip 1B can be integrated into a single module (or chip).

[0063] Cooperate Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting unit 112 of the plug handle 1B includes a connector portion 1125 disposed in the second main body portion 1121. In this embodiment, the connector portion 1125 is located within the top groove G1121, and the connector portion 1125 is electrically coupled to the communication module 4 via corresponding first coupling portion 1113 and second coupling portion 1123. The connector portion 1125 can be used to electrically couple the electronic device 200, enabling the communication module 4 and the electronic device 200 to transmit (input and / or output) data or power to each other; that is, in this embodiment, the communication module 4 is connected to the electronic device 200 in a wired manner.

[0064] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the communication module 4 can obtain electrical energy from the electronic device 200 via the connector 1125, and further input the electrical energy to the two grips 1 (i.e., the retractable grip 1A and the plug-in grip 1B) via the connecting line 2 to supply power. In other words, in this embodiment, the control handle 100A is powered by the electronic device 200.

[0065] like Figure 3As shown, the reel handle 1A is equipped with the reel kit 3A, that is, the handle 1 corresponding to the reel kit 3A is defined here as the reel handle 1A, and the reel kit 3A includes a housing body 31 and an operating component 32 disposed on the housing body 31.

[0066] In detail, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the receiving body 31 is located on the mounting unit 112 of the cable retractor 1A in this embodiment, and the receiving body 31 includes a frame portion 311, a receiving groove G311A located in the frame portion 311, a side groove G311B communicating with the receiving groove G311A, and a covering portion 312 disposed in the frame portion 311.

[0067] The frame portion 311 is generally rectangular in shape, and in this embodiment, it is integrally connected to the mounting unit 112. However, the invention is not limited to this (for example, the frame portion 311 may be a separate, independent component from the mounting unit 112, but assembled together). The frame portion 311 forms a receiving groove G311A on its surface away from the mounting unit 112, and a lateral groove G311B communicating with the receiving groove G311A is formed on one side of the frame portion 311 facing the receiving groove G311A. The receiving groove G311A can accommodate a portion of the connecting wire 2, and the lateral groove G311B can accommodate the connector of the connecting wire 2. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, when the operating component 32 is operated to move relative to the receiving body 31, the connecting line 2 exposed outside the receiving groove G311A may only be partially retracted into the receiving groove G311A, that is, the plug is exposed outside the side groove G311B.

[0068] Cooperate Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the cover portion 312 covers the connecting line 2 located within the receiving groove G311A. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover portion 312 is a plate-shaped structure and is detachably mounted on the frame portion 311. The cover portion 312 has a guide hole K312 communicating with the receiving groove G311A, and the guide hole K312 is approximately along the length direction of the corresponding mounting unit 112 (i.e., the mounting unit 112 of the take-up grip 1A). Figure 11 As shown in the extension direction of the length L311, the guide hole K312 allows a portion of the operating component 32 to pass through, and is slidably mounted on the frame portion 311, that is, another portion of the operating component 32 is exposed on the outside of the guide hole K312.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the take-up kit 3A further includes a shield 33, which in this embodiment is two flexible sheets. The shield 33 is disposed on the side walls of the guide hole K312 to block most of the guide hole K312. Accordingly, the shield 33 can effectively reduce the direct entry of dust or foreign objects into the receiving groove G311A. Of course, the shield 33 can also be designed as a single flexible sheet or other structure that can block the guide hole K312.

[0070] Cooperate Figures 11 to 13 As shown, a portion of the operating component 32 is located within the receiving groove G311A. The operating component 32 can be operated to move relative to the receiving body 31, and drive the connecting wire 2 to move within the receiving groove G311A, so that a portion of the connecting wire 2 exposed outside the receiving groove G311A is retracted into the receiving groove G311A (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown).

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the operating component 32 includes a sliding block 321, a first clamping member 322 and a second clamping member 323 installed within the frame portion 311. The sliding block 321 is movably disposed within the frame portion 311, and a portion of the sliding block 321 is located within the receiving groove G311A, allowing a section of the connecting line 2 located within the frame portion 311 to bypass it; that is, the sliding block 321 allows the connecting line 2 located within the receiving groove G311A to be arranged in a roughly V-shaped configuration. Another portion of the sliding block 321 is exposed via the guide hole K312, allowing the sliding block 321 located outside the guide hole to be operated by the user to move along the guide hole K312 relative to the frame portion 311, thereby driving the connecting line 2.

[0072] The first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 are mounted on opposite ends of the frame portion 311, and the first clamping member 322 is located within the receiving groove G311A and on the side away from the connecting line 2 entering the receiving groove G311A. The first clamping member 322 can clamp the sliding block 321 at a wire take-up position PL1 (e.g., Figure 11 As shown), the groove G311A is designed to accommodate the connecting wire 2 to the maximum extent. More specifically, when the sliding block 321 is at the wire take-up position PL1, the length of the connecting wire 2 located in the groove G311A is greater than the length L311 of the frame portion 311, and preferably more than twice the length L311 of the frame portion 311, that is, the aforementioned maximum accommodating capacity, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] The second clamping member 323 is located within the receiving groove G311A and adjacent to the side where the connecting line 2 enters the receiving groove G311A. The second clamping member 323 can clamp the sliding block 321 at a wire release position PL2 (e.g., Figure 12 As shown), this releases most of the connecting wire 2 within the groove G311A outside the groove G311A. In other words, when the sliding block 321 is at the wire release position PL2, the length of the connecting wire 2 within the groove G311A is preferably less than the length of the frame portion 311.

[0074] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 of the operating component 32 may be appropriately omitted as needed.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operating component 32 is guided to move via the guide hole K312 of the cover portion 312, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the frame portion 311 may also be provided with a track, and the track can guide the movement of the operating component 32; that is, the cover portion may be omitted from the take-up kit 3A in this manner.

[0076] Additionally, preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cable retractor 1A in this embodiment also has a port 14 located in its grip unit 111. The port 14 is electrically coupled to the corresponding signal generation module 12, and can be electrically coupled to the communication module 4 via the connecting line 2. The port 14 can be used to input an external power supply or an external signal to the electronic device 200; that is, the port 14 can in practice be a Micro-USB plug, a Type-C plug, or a headphone jack, but the invention is not limited to these. For example, the port 14 can also be designed on the mounting unit 112 of the cable retractor 1A.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, in conjunction with Figure 4 As shown, the control handle 100A may further include two vibration components 5, which are respectively disposed in the two grips 1. The communication module 4 can receive a feedback signal transmitted by the electronic device 200 and control the two vibration components 5 to generate vibration according to the feedback signal. Accordingly, the user can have a better user experience.

[0078] [Second Embodiment]

[0079] like Figure 14As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. The control handle 100B of this embodiment is similar to the control handle 100A of the first embodiment described above. The similarities between the two embodiments will not be repeated. The main difference between the control handle 100B of this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0080] In this embodiment, the control handle 100B is wirelessly connected to the electronic device 200, and the control handle 100B is powered by its internal battery. Specifically, the mounting unit 112 of the plug handle 1B omits the connector 1125, and the communication module 4 has a communication protocol compatible with the electronic device 200 (e.g., Bluetooth, etc.). (etc.), enabling the communication module 4 to transmit data (e.g., the control signal, the feedback signal).

[0081] Furthermore, the control handle 100B further includes a power supply unit 6 and a counterweight (not shown). The power supply unit 6 is disposed within one of the grips 1 and is electrically coupled to the connecting line 2 to provide power to both grips 1. The counterweight is disposed within the other grip 1, and the weight of the counterweight is approximately equal to the weight of the power supply unit 6. Accordingly, the control handle 100B, through the power supply unit 6 and the counterweight, enables the two grips 1 to have approximately equal weight, thereby providing the user with an ideal control feel, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0082] For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the control handle 100B may also have two power supply units 6 with approximately equal weight, and the two power supply units 6 are respectively disposed in the two grips 1, which can also give the user an ideal control feel and the control handle 100B has a more ideal battery life.

[0083] [Third Embodiment]

[0084] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, this is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a cable retraction kit 3B for a control handle. The cable retraction kit 3B is similar to the cable retraction kit 3A of the control handle 100A in the first embodiment described above. The similarities between the two embodiments will not be repeated. The main difference between the cable retraction kit 3B in this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the cable retraction kit 3B in this embodiment has the function of the mounting unit 112 described in the first embodiment, and the cable retraction kit 3B has a communication module 34, so that it can be assembled onto a grip 1 that does not have a communication module. In other words, the cable retraction kit 3B in this embodiment is suitable for replacing grips with different configurations (e.g., different button configurations).

[0085] In this embodiment, the receiving body 31 of the cable take-up kit 3B further includes a main body 313 connected to the frame portion 311, a holding portion 314 disposed on the main body 313, and a coupling portion 315. The main body 313 is generally C-shaped and has a top abutment groove G313. The top abutment groove G313 can be used to abut against the edge of the electronic device 200, so that the main body 313 can be fixed on the electronic device 200.

[0086] Of course, in a preferred embodiment, the receiving body 31 may also be provided with an elastic layer 316 in the top abutment groove G313, and the elastic layer 316 can be appropriately deformed to abut the edge of the electronic device 200, thereby ensuring that the electronic device 200 is fixed and absorbing the external force when the electronic device 200 is impacted.

[0087] The retaining part 314 is a track structure and extends from one side of the main body part 313, and the retaining part 314 can be used to connect the first retaining part 1112 of the grip unit 111 of the grip 1.

[0088] The coupling part 315 is a conductive component (e.g., a gold finger) and is located on the side of the main body 313 where the retaining part 314 is located, and the coupling part 315 can be used to electrically couple the signal generating module 12 of the grip 1.

[0089] Additionally, the communication module 34 of the cable retractor 3B is installed inside the housing body 31, and the communication module 34 can be electrically coupled to the grip 1 via the coupling part 315 and the corresponding first coupling part 1113, so that the communication module 34 can be used to transmit the control signal of the grip 1 to the electronic device 200.
