Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic device technology, specifically relating to a joystick, a handle, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Subsequently, users' pursuit of the ultimate user experience has led to increasingly higher performance demands for electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, resulting in a wider variety of external devices available. For example, connecting a gamepad to an electronic device can enhance the user's gaming experience. Typically, gamepads feature joysticks for easy operation. However, because joysticks are used very frequently, they are prone to damage and therefore often require frequent repair or replacement.

[0003] In existing technologies, joysticks are typically attached to the controller magnetically for easy replacement. However, magnetically attached joysticks are prone to detaching during use. Alternatively, joysticks are attached using clips, but frequent disassembly and reassembly can easily cause the clips to break. In other words, existing controllers struggle to balance the stability of the joystick connection with its lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to provide a joystick, a handle, and an electronic device to solve the problem that it is difficult to balance the connection stability and service life of the joystick in existing handles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application discloses a joystick, which includes: a joystick base, a joystick cap, and a connecting mechanism;

[0007] The connecting mechanism includes a stop block and a first limiting member. The first limiting member is provided with a limiting groove. Both the stop block and the first limiting member are movably connected to the rocker arm seat.

[0008] The rocker cap is provided with a second limiting member extending toward the rocker seat, and the second limiting member is provided with a limiting part that is adapted to the limiting groove;

[0009] When the rocker cap is installed on the rocker seat, the rocker cap drives the stop block to move toward the bottom of the rocker seat. After the stop block moves toward the bottom of the seat, when the second limiting member moves toward the first limiting member, the limiting part can engage with the limiting groove so that the rocker cap is connected to the rocker seat.

[0010] When the limiting part is engaged with the limiting groove and the second limiting member moves away from the base, the second limiting member drives the first limiting member to move so that the limiting groove avoids the stop block, and the limiting part can disengage from the limiting groove so that the rocker cap separates from the rocker seat.

[0011] Secondly, this application also discloses a handle, the handle comprising: a handle body and a joystick as described in any of the above claims; wherein,

[0012] The rocker arm seat of the rocker arm is fixedly connected to the handle body.

[0013] Thirdly, this application also discloses an electronic device, which includes: a device body and the aforementioned handle, wherein the handle is communicatively connected to the device body.

[0014] In this embodiment, since the stop and the first limiting member of the connecting mechanism are both movably connected to the rocker arm seat, the rocker arm cap is provided with a second limiting member extending toward the rocker arm seat, and the second limiting member is provided with a limiting part adapted to the limiting groove. When it is necessary to install the rocker arm cap onto the rocker arm seat, the rocker arm cap can be pressed to move the stop towards the bottom of the rocker arm seat, and then the second limiting member can be moved toward the first limiting member, thereby engaging the limiting part with the limiting groove to connect the rocker arm cap to the rocker arm seat. When it is necessary to remove the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat, the second limiting member of the rocker arm cap can be used to move the first limiting member to make the limiting groove avoid the stop, and the limiting part can disengage from the limiting groove to separate the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat. The installation and removal of the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat is extremely convenient and efficient. Furthermore, when the rocker cap is connected to the rocker seat, the limiting part on the rocker cap can reliably engage in the limiting groove, resulting in a relatively stable connection between the two. In other words, the rocker described in this embodiment can balance connection stability, service life, and assembly / disassembly efficiency.

(Refer to...) Figure 7 The fourth illustration shows a schematic diagram of the assembly process of a rocker arm according to an embodiment of this application.

[0031] Specifically, the rocker arm may include: a rocker arm base 10, a rocker arm cap 20, and a connecting mechanism 30; the connecting mechanism 30 may include a stop block 301 and a first limiting member 302, the first limiting member 302 being provided with a limiting groove 305, and both the stop block 301 and the first limiting member 302 being movably connected to the rocker arm base 10; the rocker arm cap 20 is provided with a second limiting member 201 extending toward the rocker arm base 10, the second limiting member 201 being provided with a limiting portion 202 adapted to the limiting groove 305; wherein, when the rocker arm cap 20 is installed on the rocker arm base 10, the rocker arm cap 20 drives the stop block 301. When the rocker arm 20 moves toward the bottom of the rocker arm seat 10, after the stop block 301 moves toward the bottom of the seat, when the second limiting member 201 moves toward the first limiting member 302, the limiting part 202 can engage with the limiting groove 305 to connect the rocker arm cap 20 to the rocker arm seat 10; when the limiting part 202 engages with the limiting groove 305 and the second limiting member 201 moves away from the bottom of the seat, the second limiting member 201 can drive the first limiting member 302 to move so that the limiting groove 305 avoids the stop block 301, and the limiting part 202 can disengage from the limiting groove 305 to separate the rocker arm cap 20 from the rocker arm seat 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the stop 301 and the first limiting member 302 of the connecting mechanism 30 are both movably connected to the rocker arm seat 10, the rocker arm cap 20 is provided with a second limiting member 201 extending toward the rocker arm seat 10, and the second limiting member 201 is provided with a limiting part 202 that is adapted to the limiting groove 305. When it is necessary to install the rocker arm cap 20 onto the rocker arm seat 10, the rocker arm cap 20 can be pressed to drive the stop 301 toward the bottom of the rocker arm seat 10, and then the second limiting member 201 can be driven toward the first limiting member 302, so that the limiting part 202 can be engaged with the limiting groove 305, thereby connecting the rocker arm cap 20 to the rocker arm seat 10. When it is necessary to remove the joystick cap 20 from the joystick base 10, the second limiting member 201 of the joystick cap 20 can drive the first limiting member 302 to move, causing the limiting groove 305 to avoid the stop block 301. The limiting part 202 can then disengage from the limiting groove 305, allowing the joystick cap 20 to separate from the joystick base 10. The assembly and disassembly of the joystick cap 20 on the joystick base 10 is extremely convenient and efficient. Furthermore, when the joystick cap 20 is connected to the joystick base 10, the limiting part 202 on the joystick cap 20 can reliably engage within the limiting groove 305, resulting in a relatively stable connection. In other words, the joystick described in this embodiment can balance connection stability, service life, and assembly / disassembly efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the joystick cap 20 has an extension 203 extending toward the joystick seat 10. For example... Figure 5As shown, a limiting track 104 is provided on the rocker arm base 10, and the trajectory of the limiting track 104 corresponds to the trajectory of the rocker arm cap 20. When the rocker arm cap 20 is installed on the rocker arm base 10, the extension 203 on the rocker arm cap 20 moves along the limiting track 104 to drive the stop block 301 toward the bottom of the rocker arm base 10, and to drive the second limiting member 201 toward the first limiting member 302, so that the limiting part 202 engages with the limiting groove 305. This allows the rocker cap 20 to connect with the rocker seat 10. When the limiting part 202 engages with the limiting groove 305, and the extension 203 on the rocker cap 20 moves along the limiting track 104, so that the second limiting member 201 moves away from the bottom of the seat, the second limiting member 201 can drive the first limiting member 302 to move so that the limiting groove 305 avoids the stop block 301, and the limiting part 202 can disengage from the limiting groove 305, so that the rocker cap 20 separates from the rocker seat 10.

[0034] In practical applications, during the process of installing the joystick cap 20 onto the joystick holder 10, or during the process of removing the joystick cap 20 from the joystick holder 10, the extension 203 on the joystick cap 20 can move along the limiting track 104 on the joystick holder 10 until the joystick cap 20 is installed onto the joystick holder 10, or the joystick cap 20 is removed from the joystick holder 10. The limiting track 104 can be used to limit the trajectory of the joystick cap 20, thereby improving the installation and removal accuracy and reliability of the joystick cap 20 on the joystick holder 10.

[0035] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting track 104 may include a pressing section 1041, a locking section 1042, a pulling section 1043, and a disengaging section 1044 connected in sequence. When the rocker cap 20 is installed on the rocker seat 10, the extension 203 moves along the pressing section 1041 to move the stop block 301 toward the bottom of the rocker seat 10. When the extension 203 moves from the pressing section 1041 to the locking section 1042, it can engage the limiting part 202 on the second limiting member 201 with the limiting groove 305. Connect the rocker cap 20 to the rocker seat 10. When the limiting part 202 is engaged with the limiting groove 305, the extension part 203 can move along the upward section 1043 to move the second limiting member 201 away from the bottom of the seat. After the second limiting member 201 drives the first limiting member 302 to move so that the limiting groove 305 avoids the stop block 301, the extension part 203 can move along the disengagement section 1044 to disengage the limiting part 202 from the limiting groove 305, thereby separating the rocker cap 20 from the rocker seat 10.

[0036] In practical applications, when it is necessary to install the joystick cap 20 onto the joystick base 10, the extension 203 on the joystick cap 20 can be inserted into the pressing section 1041 of the limiting rail 104. By sliding the extension 203 along the pressing section 1041, the joystick cap 20 can be pressed down. When the extension 203 is slid from the pressing section 1041 to the locking section 1042, the limiting part 202 of the joystick cap 20 can be inserted into the limiting groove 305 of the joystick base 10 to achieve the connection between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick base 10. When it is necessary to remove the joystick cap 20 from the joystick base 10, the extension 203 on the joystick cap 20 can be slid from the locking section 1042 to the pull-up section 1043. By sliding the extension 203 along the pull-up section 1043, the joystick cap 20 can be removed. When the extension 203 is slid from the pull-up section 1043 to the release section 1044, the limiting part 202 of the joystick cap 20 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 305 of the joystick seat 10 to achieve separation between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick seat 10.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting track 104 may further include: a pull-out section 1045, which is connected to the side of the disengagement section 1044 away from the pull-up section 1043; wherein, after the limiting part 202 disengages from the limiting groove 305, the extension part 203 can move along the pull-out section 1045 to pull the rocker cap 20 out of the rocker seat 10.

[0038] In practical applications, when the overlap between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick seat 10 is relatively long, after the limiting part 202 disengages from the limiting groove 305, the joystick cap 20 can be completely pulled out from the joystick seat 10 by the movement of the extension part 203 along the pull-out section 1045, thereby improving the degree of separation between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick seat 10.

[0039] In some optional embodiments of this application, the trajectory extension direction of the pressing section 1041 and the pulling section 1043 is vertical. Thus, by moving the extension 203 on the rocker cap 20 vertically downward along the pressing section 1041, the stop block 301 can be moved vertically downward. By moving the extension 203 on the rocker cap 20 vertically upward along the pulling section 1043, the rocker cap 20 can be pulled out. The trajectory extension direction of the engaging section 1042 and the disengaging section 1044 is horizontal. Thus, by moving the extension 203 on the rocker cap 20 horizontally along the engaging section 1042, the limiting part 202 can be driven into the limiting groove 305, thereby achieving the connection between the rocker cap 20 and the rocker seat 10. By moving the extension 203 on the rocker cap 20 horizontally along the disengagement section 1044, the limiting part 202 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 305, thereby achieving the separation of the rocker cap 20 and the rocker seat 10. The movement method is extremely simple.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the limiting groove 305 is an arc-shaped limiting groove; the movement of the second limiting member 201 toward the first limiting member 302 is rotation, and the movement of the limiting part 202 disengaging from the limiting groove 305 is rotation; the engaging section 1042 and the disengaging section 1044 are both arc-shaped rotating sections, and the arc-shaped rotating sections are concentrically arranged with the arc-shaped limiting groove.

[0041] In practical applications, when it is necessary to install the joystick cap 20 onto the joystick base 10, the extension 203 on the joystick cap 20 can be inserted into the pressing section 1041. By sliding the extension 203 vertically along the extension 203, the joystick cap 20 can be pressed down. When the extension 203 slides to the bottom of the extension 203, the limiting part 202 on the joystick cap 20 can be flush with the height of the limiting groove 305 (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown). At this time, by rotating the extension 203 horizontally along the snap-fit ​​section 1042, the limiting part 202 can be screwed into the limiting groove 305 (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), this configuration enables the connection between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick base 10. Specifically, the pressing section 1041 can be used to limit the insertion position of the limiting part 202 on the joystick cap 20 and the magnitude of the downward pressure, while the locking section 1042 can be used to limit the rotational amplitude during the insertion process of the joystick cap 20, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of installing the joystick cap 20 onto the joystick base 10.

[0042] Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the joystick cap 20 from the joystick base 10, the extension 203 on the joystick cap 20 can be moved vertically along the pull-up section 1043 to the pull-out section 1044. By sliding the extension 203 along the pull-out section 1044, the limiting part 202 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 305, thereby releasing the connection between the joystick cap 20 and the joystick base 10. Then, by sliding the extension 203 vertically along the pull-out section 1045, the joystick cap 20 can be pulled out. That is, the pull-up section 1043 can be used to limit the pull-up position and pull-up amplitude of the limiting part 202 on the joystick cap 20, while the pull-out section 1044 can be used to limit the rotation amplitude during the pull-out process of the joystick cap 20, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of pulling the joystick cap 20 out of the joystick base 10.

[0043] In some optional embodiments of this application, the connecting mechanism 30 may further include a first elastic element 303 and a second elastic element 304. The first elastic element 303 is connected between the stop block 301 and the rocker arm seat 10, and the second elastic element 304 is connected between the first limiting member 302 and the rocker arm seat 10. When the rocker arm cap 20 is installed on the rocker arm seat 10, during the process of the rocker arm cap 20 driving the stop block 301 toward the bottom of the rocker arm seat 10, the first elastic element 303 is in a compressed state, and the second elastic element 304 is in its original state. When the limiting part 202 is engaged with the limiting groove 305 and the first limiting member 302 moves away from the bottom of the seat, the second elastic element 304 is in a stretched state, and the first elastic element 303 is in its original state.

[0044] In practical applications, both the first elastic element 303 and the second elastic element 304 can have an initial state and a stretched state. Specifically, in the initial state, the first elastic element 303 is not subjected to any external force other than the pressure from the stop block 301, and the second elastic element 304 is not subjected to any external force other than the pressure from the first limiting member 302. When the stop block 301 or the first limiting member 302 is subjected to pressing pressure, the first elastic element 303 or the second elastic element 304 can be placed in the stretched state.

[0045] In practical applications, the first elastic element 303 can provide an upward elastic force to the stop block 301. When the rocker cap 20 needs to be installed on the rocker arm seat 10, the second limiting element 201 can be abutted against the stop block 301, and the rocker cap 20 can be pressed down to compress the first elastic element 303 under the stop block 301. After the limiting part 202 on the second limiting element 201 is screwed into the limiting groove 305 on the first limiting element 302, the first elastic element 301 can return from the stretched state to its original state. The first elastic element 303 can provide an upward elastic force to the stop block 301, so that the height of the stop block 301 rises and is limited from the side of the first limiting element 302, preventing the limiting part 202 on the second limiting element 201 from coming out of the limiting groove 305 on the first limiting element 302, thereby improving the connection reliability between the rocker cap 20 and the rocker arm seat 10. The second limiting member 304 can be used to provide a downward pulling force to the first limiting member 302, so as to reliably connect the rocker cap 20 to the rocker seat 10. Moreover, since the second limiting member 304 has a certain buffering capacity, it is not easy to cause the first limiting member 302 or the second limiting member 201 to break during the use of the rocker, thereby improving the service life of the rocker.

[0046] In some optional embodiments of this application, the first elastic element 303 is a spring, and the second elastic element 304 is a tension spring.

[0047] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings of this application embodiment only show the case where the stop 301 is connected to the rocker arm seat 10 via two first elastic members 303, and the first limiting member 302 is connected to the rocker arm seat 10 via two second elastic members 304. In practical applications, the number of first elastic members 303 connected to the stop 301 and the number of second elastic members 304 connected to the first limiting member 302 can be set to other values. For example, the number of first elastic members 303 connected to the stop 301 can be 1, 4, or 6, etc., and the number of second elastic members 304 connected to the first limiting member 302 can be 1, 4, or 6, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the number of first elastic members 303 connected to the stop 301 or the number of second elastic members 304 connected to the first latch 302.

[0048] In some optional embodiments of this application, when the rocker cap 20 and the rocker seat 10 are in the connected state, both the first elastic member 303 and the second elastic member 304 are in their original state, the stop block 301 is flush with the height of the first limiting member 302, and the stop block 301 at least partially covers the limiting groove 305 on the first limiting member 302. Thus, when the limiting portion 202 on the second limiting member 201 is inserted into the limiting groove 305 on the first limiting member 302, the stop block 301 can spring back to its original state, and its height can be flush with the first limiting member 302. In this way, the stop block 301 can cover the limiting groove 305 from the side of the first limiting member 302, preventing the limiting portion 202 on the second limiting member 201 from dislodging from the limiting groove 305, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the rocker cap 20 and the rocker seat 10.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the two ends of the connecting mechanism 30 are respectively provided with shielding parts 102. The shielding parts 102 can be used to limit the circumferential rotation of the connecting mechanism 30, so as to improve the connection reliability of the connecting mechanism 30 on the rocker arm seat 10.

[0050] Specifically, the blocking part 102 and the stop 301 and the first limiting member 302 in the connecting mechanism 30 can be correspondingly provided. That is, along the circumference of the rocker arm seat 10, both ends of the stop 301 and both ends of the first limiting member 302 can be provided with blocking parts 102 to prevent the stop 301 and the first limiting member 302 from rotating circumferentially and to improve the connection reliability between the stop 301 and the first limiting member 302 and the rocker arm seat 10.

[0051] In some optional embodiments of this application, there are multiple connecting mechanisms 30, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the rocker arm seat 10; there are multiple second limiting members 201 on the rocker arm cap 20, and each second limiting member 201 corresponds to a connecting mechanism 30.

[0052] In practical applications, by setting multiple connecting mechanisms 30 distributed circumferentially along the rocker arm seat 10, and setting multiple second limiting members 201 on the rocker arm cap 20 that correspond one-to-one with the connecting mechanisms 30, when the rocker arm cap 20 is connected to the rocker arm seat 10, the connecting mechanisms 30 and the second limiting members 201 can be connected one-to-one, thereby improving the connection reliability between the rocker arm cap 20 and the rocker arm seat 10.

[0053] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings of this application embodiment only show the case where there are four connecting mechanisms 30, that is, four stop blocks 201 and four first limiting members 302. In practical applications, the number of connecting mechanisms 30 can also be two, three, or six, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the number of connecting mechanisms 30.

[0054] In summary, the joystick described in the embodiments of this application may include at least the following advantages:

[0055] In this embodiment, since the stop and the first limiting member of the connecting mechanism are both movably connected to the rocker arm seat, the rocker arm cap is provided with a second limiting member extending toward the rocker arm seat, and the second limiting member is provided with a limiting part adapted to the limiting groove. When it is necessary to install the rocker arm cap onto the rocker arm seat, the rocker arm cap can be pressed to move the stop towards the bottom of the rocker arm seat, and then the second limiting member can be moved toward the first limiting member, thereby engaging the limiting part with the limiting groove to connect the rocker arm cap to the rocker arm seat. When it is necessary to remove the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat, the second limiting member of the rocker arm cap can be used to move the first limiting member to make the limiting groove avoid the stop, and the limiting part can disengage from the limiting groove to separate the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat. The installation and removal of the rocker arm cap from the rocker arm seat is extremely convenient and efficient. Furthermore, when the rocker cap is connected to the rocker seat, the limiting part on the rocker cap can reliably engage in the limiting groove, resulting in a relatively stable connection between the two. In other words, the rocker described in this embodiment can balance connection stability, service life, and assembly / disassembly efficiency.

[0056] This application also provides a handle, which may specifically include: a handle body and a joystick as described in any of the above embodiments; wherein, the joystick's joystick base is fixedly connected to the handle body. For example, the joystick base can be fixedly connected to the handle body by fastener connection, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding, etc. This application does not specifically limit the connection method of the joystick base to the handle body.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific structure of the rocker is the same as that of the rocker in the above embodiments, and the beneficial effects are similar, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0058] This application provides an electronic device, which may specifically include: a device body and a handle as described in any of the above embodiments. The handle is communicatively connected to the device body to control the device body through the communication connection between the handle and the device body.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, the device body may specifically include at least one of mobile phones, tablet computers and wearable devices. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of the electronic device.

[0060] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific structure of the handle is the same as that of the handle in the above embodiments, and the beneficial effects are similar, so it will not be described in detail here.
