Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of controller technology, specifically relating to a button assembly and a controller. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, game controllers or audio-visual controllers have corresponding function buttons on their button components, allowing users to control the controller. However, since pressing a function button only triggers the corresponding control, the function of the button component is relatively limited. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application aims to provide a button assembly and a handle, which at least solves one of the problems of the button assembly having a relatively limited function.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a button assembly, including a base, a pressing assembly, a first transmission component, a driving component, and a second transmission component; the pressing assembly is disposed on the base and is capable of moving relative to the base; a first end of the first transmission component is connected to the base; the driving component is connected to the second end of the first transmission component, and the driving component is capable of driving the first transmission component to rotate relative to the base in a second direction; the second transmission component is connected to the pressing assembly and is also connected to the first transmission component; wherein, the pressing assembly is capable of driving the second transmission component to move along the first transmission component and is capable of driving the first transmission component to rotate relative to the base in a first direction, the first direction and the second direction being the same direction or different directions.
[0006] Secondly, embodiments of this application propose a handle, including a button assembly as described above.
[0007] In embodiments of this application, the button assembly includes a base and a pressing component. The pressing component is disposed on the base, and the user can operate the button assembly by touching the pressing component, thereby controlling the gamepad. The button assembly also includes a first transmission component and a second transmission component. The first end of the first transmission component is connected to the base, and the second transmission component is connected to the pressing component and also connected to the first transmission component. The pressing component can drive the second transmission component to move along the first transmission component and can also drive the first transmission component to rotate relative to the base. Furthermore, the button assembly also includes a driving component, which is connected to the first transmission component and can also drive the first transmission component to rotate. Since both the pressing component and the driving component can drive the first transmission component to rotate, when the user touches the pressing component, the driving component can be controlled to drive the first rotating component simultaneously. The driving component cooperates with the pressing component, allowing the user to obtain different tactile feedback when touching the pressing component, enriching the function of the button assembly, thereby enriching the tactile sensory experience of the gamepad, and further enhancing the user's tactile sensory experience and the interactive experience between the user and the audio-visual entertainment device. Furthermore, the button assembly achieves tactile feedback through the first transmission component, the drive component, and the second transmission component, which simplifies the structure of the button assembly, thereby reducing its size and minimizing its space occupation on the handle.
[0008] The handle includes a button assembly as described above, and therefore the handle possesses all the beneficial effects of the button assembly of any of the above-described technical solutions.

[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This application describes a button assembly and a handle according to embodiments thereof.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a button assembly according to some embodiments of this application includes a base 100, a pressing component 200, a first transmission component 300, a driving component 400, and a second transmission component 500. The pressing component 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is movable relative to the base 100. A first end of the first transmission component 300 is connected to the base 100. The driving component 400 is connected to the second end of the first transmission component 300, and the driving component 400 is capable of driving the first transmission component 300 to rotate relative to the base 100 in a second direction. The second transmission component 500 is connected to the pressing component 200 and is also connected to the first transmission component 300. The pressing component 200 is capable of driving the second transmission component 500 to move along the first transmission component 300 and is capable of driving the first transmission component 300 to rotate relative to the base 100 in a first direction. The first direction and the second direction are the same direction or different directions.
[0027] According to an embodiment of this application, a button assembly includes a base 100 and a pressing component 200. The pressing component 200 is disposed on the base 100. A user can operate the button assembly by touching the pressing component 200, thereby controlling the handle. The button assembly also includes a first transmission component 300 and a second transmission component 500. The first end of the first transmission component 300 is connected to the base 100. The second transmission component 500 is connected to the pressing component 200 and also connected to the first transmission component 300. The pressing component 200 can drive the second transmission component 500 to move along the first transmission component 300 and can also drive the first transmission component 300 to rotate relative to the base 100. Furthermore, the button assembly also includes a driving component 400, which is connected to the first transmission component 300 and can also drive... The first transmission component 300 rotates. Since both the pressing component 200 and the driving component 400 can drive the first transmission component 300 to rotate, when the user touches the pressing component 200, the driving component 400 can be simultaneously controlled to drive the first rotating component. The driving component cooperates with the pressing component 200, allowing the user to obtain different tactile feedback when touching the pressing component 200, enriching the function of the button component, thereby enriching the tactile sensory experience of the gamepad, and further enhancing the user's tactile sensory experience and the interactive experience between the user and the audio-visual entertainment device. Furthermore, the button component achieves tactile feedback through the first transmission component 300, the driving component 400, and the second transmission component 500, making the structure of the button component simpler, thereby reducing the size of the button component and reducing the space occupied by the button component on the gamepad.
[0028] Specifically, when the user touches and presses the component 200, the component 200 drives the first transmission component to rotate in the first direction through the second transmission component, and at this time the control drive component 400 drives the first transmission component to rotate in the second direction.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the first direction and the second direction are both indicated by arrow A or arrow B. When the first direction and the second direction are the same, that is, both the pressing component 200 and the driving component 400 drive the first transmission component to rotate in one direction. This is equivalent to the driving component 400 providing a certain assistance, making it easier for the user to touch the pressing component 200. In turn, the pressing component 200 can provide the user with a tactile feedback effect of force relief.
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the first direction is the direction indicated by arrow A, and the second direction is the direction indicated by arrow B. When the first direction and the second direction are different, that is, when the pressing component 200 and the driving component 400 drive the first transmission component to rotate in different directions, it is equivalent to the driving component 400 applying a resistance to the first transmission component, which increases the pressure required for the user to push the pressing component 200. In turn, the driving component 400 applies a certain damping to the pressing component 200, and the pressing component 200 can provide the user with a counter-tactile feedback effect.
[0031] When the second direction continues to change, that is, when the driving component 400 drives the first transmission component 300 to switch between two rotational directions, especially when the second direction continues to change at short intervals, the driving component 400 can apply a certain vibration to the pressing component 200 through the first transmission component 300 and the second transmission component 500, thereby enabling the pressing component 200 to provide the user with a tactile feedback effect of vibration.
[0032] The drive component 400 can also apply tactile feedback of rebound to the pressing component 200, thereby enabling the pressing component 200 to provide a rebounding tactile effect to the user.
[0033] Specifically, the user touches and presses the component 200, which pushes the second transmission component to translate along the axis of the first transmission component, and the second transmission component drives the first transmission component to rotate around the axis.
[0034] The drive component drives the first transmission to rotate, and the first transmission component can drive the second transmission component to translate along the axis of the first transmission component, thereby driving the pressing component 200 to move.
[0035] Specifically, the driving component 400 is a motor, which is fixed on the base 100. The fixing method can be screw fixing, clip fixing, adhesive bonding or combination.
[0036] This means that the various parts of the interactive component can move in tandem without any self-locking phenomenon.
[0037] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first transmission component 300 includes a first transmission rod 310 and a first thread 320, the first thread 320 extending spirally along the circumference of the first transmission rod 310; the second transmission component 500 includes a nut 510, the nut 510 is sleeved on the first transmission rod 310, and the inner ring of the nut 510 is provided with a second thread 520, the second thread 520 cooperating with the first thread 320.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first transmission component 300 includes a first transmission rod 310 and a first thread 320. The first thread 320 extends spirally from a first end of the first transmission rod 310 to a second end along the circumference of the first transmission rod 310. The second transmission component includes a nut 510, the inner ring of which is provided with a second thread 520. The second thread 520 extends spirally from a first side of the nut 510 in the axial direction to a second side along the inner ring of the nut 510. The nut 510 is sleeved on the first transmission rod 310, and the first thread 320 can engage with the second thread 520. When the nut 510 moves axially along the first transmission rod 310, it can drive the first transmission rod 310 to rotate. The rotation of the first transmission rod 310 can drive the nut 510 to move axially along the first transmission rod 310, enabling bidirectional power transmission. This allows power to be transmitted to the pressing component 200 when the first transmission rod 310 is driven by the driving component 400, thereby achieving tactile feedback.
[0039] Specifically, the first transmission component is a screw, which mates with a nut 510, and the lead angles of the screw and the nut 510 are the same.
[0040] The lead angle of the screw and nut 510 is greater than the equivalent friction angle of their mating surfaces to ensure that the nut 510 and the screw can transmit power in both directions without self-locking.
[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pressing assembly 200 includes a first pressing component 210 and a swing arm 220; the first pressing component 210 is rotatably connected to the base 100; the swing arm 220 is rotatably connected to the base 100, and the first pressing component 210 abuts against one side of the swing arm 220, which can drive the swing arm 220 to rotate relative to the base 100.
[0042] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 200 includes a first pressing member 210, which is rotatably connected to the base 100, allowing the interactive assembly to function as a handle with a rotating button, such as a gun-resistant button assembly for a gaming device. The first pressing member 210 serves as the trigger button of the button assembly. The pressing assembly 200 also includes a swing arm 220, which is connected to the first pressing member 210, allowing the first pressing member 210 to transmit power through the swing arm 220 to cooperate with the drive component 400 and achieve tactile feedback.
[0043] Furthermore, the swing arm 220 is fan-shaped, and the first pressing component 210 abuts against one side of the swing arm 220 in the circumferential direction. When the user presses the first pressing component 210, the swing arm 220 can be pushed. The swing arm 220 can also push the first pressing component 210, thereby realizing tactile feedback.
[0044] Furthermore, the first pressing component 210 and the swing arm 220 can be an integral structure or two separate components.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rocker arm 220 has a plurality of first teeth 222 on the side facing the first transmission component 300, and the plurality of first teeth 222 are arranged along the axis of the first transmission component 300; the nut 510 has a plurality of second teeth 512 on the side opposite to the rocker arm 220, and the plurality of second teeth 512 mesh with the plurality of first teeth 222.
[0046] In this embodiment, the swing arm 220 has a plurality of first teeth 222 on the side facing the first transmission component 300, and the plurality of first teeth 222 are arranged along the axis of the first transmission component 300. The nut 510 has a plurality of second teeth 512 on the side opposite to the swing arm 220, and the plurality of second teeth 512 mesh with the plurality of first teeth 222 to realize the transmission of power. When the swing arm 220 is pushed by the first pressing component 210, the first teeth 222 can push the second teeth 512, thereby pushing the nut 510 to move along the axial direction of the first transmission component 300; when the first transmission component 300 drives the nut 510 to move, the nut 510 can drive the swing arm 220 through the meshing of the second teeth 512 and the first teeth 222, thereby realizing tactile feedback.
[0047] Furthermore, a rack is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the nut 510, and a second tooth 512 is provided on the rack. Multiple second teeth 512 are arranged along the axis of the first transmission component 300.
[0048] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the button assembly also includes a pivot 610, which passes through the first pressing member 210 and / or the swing arm 220 and is connected to the base 100.
[0049] In this embodiment, the button assembly further includes a pivot 610, which passes through the first pressing member 210 and / or the swing arm 220 and is connected to the base 100, thereby enabling the swing arm 220 and the first pressing member 210 to rotate relative to the base 100. Furthermore, the first pressing member 210 and / or the swing arm 220 are supported by the same pivot 610, reducing the resistance during rotation and making the rotation of the first pressing member 210 and the swing arm 220 more flexible, thus improving the tactile feedback effect.
[0050] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 610 can be inserted into the first pressing member 210, the first pressing member 210 can rotate relative to the base 100, the swing arm 220 is connected to the first pressing member 210, and when the first pressing member 210 is pressed, the first pressing member 210 can drive the swing arm 220 to rotate together.
[0051] The pivot 610 can also be mounted on the swing arm 220, which can rotate relative to the base 100. The swing arm 220 is connected to the first pressing member 210. When the first pressing member 210 is pressed, it can drive the swing arm 220 to rotate together.
[0052] The rotating shaft 610 can also be simultaneously mounted on the first pressing component 210 and the swing arm 220, and the first pressing component 210 abuts against the swing arm 220. When the first pressing component 210 is pressed, the first pressing component 210 can drive the swing arm 220 to rotate together.
[0053] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the button assembly also includes a baffle 620 and a torsion spring 630; the baffle 620 is connected to the base 100; the torsion spring 630 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 610, with one side abutting against the first pressing component 210 and the other side abutting against the baffle 620.
[0054] In this embodiment, the button assembly further includes a baffle 620, which is connected to the base 100. The button assembly also includes a torsion spring 630, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 610. One side of the torsion spring 630 abuts against the first pressing member 210, and the other side of the torsion spring 630 abuts against the baffle 620. The torsion spring 630 can be compressed as the first pressing member 210 swings under force, and returns to its initial position after the first pressing member 210 loses its pressing force, thereby resetting the first pressing member 210.
[0055] Specifically, when the first pressing member 210 is in its initial position, the torsion spring 630 is in its original state, neither stretched nor compressed, or in a slightly compressed state. After the first pressing member 210 is subjected to force and swings, the compression of the torsion spring 630 increases. After the force on the first pressing member 210 disappears, the torsion spring 630 drives the first pressing member 210 to reset.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the base 100 is provided with a first mounting hole 110, and the pressing assembly 200 includes a second pressing component 230 and a connecting rod 240; part of the second pressing component 230 is disposed in the first mounting hole 110 and can move relative to the base 100 along the axis of the first transmission component 300; the first end of the connecting rod 240 is connected to the second pressing component 230, and the second end is connected to the nut 510.
[0057] In this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a first mounting hole 110, and the pressing assembly 200 includes a second pressing member 230, which is disposed in the first mounting hole 110, allowing the second pressing member 230 to slide relative to the base 100. The pressing assembly 200 also includes a connecting rod 240, the first end of which is connected to the second pressing member 230, and the second end of which is connected to a nut 510, so that the second pressing member 230 can drive the nut 510 to move through the connecting rod 240, so that the driving member 400 drives the first transmission member 300 to provide tactile feedback to the user who touches the second pressing member 230.
[0058] Specifically, the second pressing component 230 can be a game button assembly or a button on a gamepad such as a mobile phone.
[0059] Furthermore, the second end of the connecting rod 240 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions, which are arranged at intervals along the axis of the first transmission component 300. The nut 510 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions on the side facing the connecting rod 240, which are arranged at intervals along the axis of the first transmission component 300. The plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions are arranged alternately.
[0060] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the pressing assembly 200 also includes a first elastic member 250, the first end of which abuts against the second pressing member 230 and the second end of which abuts against the base 100.
[0061] In this embodiment, the pressing component 200 further includes a first elastic element 250, the two ends of which abut against the second pressing component 230 and the base 100 respectively, thereby driving the second pressing component 230 to reset through the first elastic element 250.
[0062] Specifically, when the second pressing member 230 is not under force, it is in its initial position, and the first elastic member 250 is at its original length, neither compressed nor stretched, or in a slightly compressed state. After the second pressing member 230 is moved by pressure, the first elastic member 250 is compressed. After the force on the second pressing member 230 disappears, the first elastic member 250 drives the second pressing member 230 to reset.
[0063] Furthermore, the first elastic element 250 can be a spring, elastic foam, or other elastic plastic parts.
[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the base 100 is provided with a slide groove 120, which extends along the axis of the first transmission component 300; the nut 510 is provided with a protrusion 530 on the side opposite to the slide groove 120, and the protrusion 530 is embedded in the slide groove 120.
[0065] In this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a groove 120, and the nut 510 is provided with a protrusion 530 on the side opposite to the groove 120. The protrusion 530 is embedded in the groove 120. Since the groove 120 extends along the axis of the first transmission component 300, the protrusion 530 can slide in the groove 120, thereby guiding the movement of the nut 510 through the groove 120 and preventing the nut 510 from rotating, thus ensuring the stability of the tactile feedback process.
[0066] Specifically, two blocks are provided on the bottom wall of the base 100. Both blocks extend along the axis of the first transmission component 300, and a groove 120 is formed between the two blocks.
[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first transmission component 300 also includes a mounting portion 330, which is disposed at one end of the first transmission rod 310; the key assembly also includes a collar 700, which is sleeved on the output shaft 410 of the drive component 400 and embedded in the mounting portion 330.
[0068] In this embodiment, the first transmission component 300 further includes a mounting portion 330, which is annular and connected to one end of the first transmission rod 310 facing the driving component 400. The button assembly also includes a collar 700, which is sleeved on the output shaft 410 of the driving component 400 and embedded in the mounting portion 330, thereby realizing the connection between the first transmission rod 310 and the driving component 400, so that the driving component 400 can drive the first sensing rod more stably.
[0069] Furthermore, the first transmission rod 310 connects to the drive component 400 through the mounting part 330 and the collar 700, making the connection structure between the drive component 400 and the first transmission rod 310 simpler and easier to assemble.
[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting part 330 is provided with a positioning hole 340 extending radially, and the collar 700 is provided with a positioning groove 710 extending radially. The positioning hole 340 and the positioning groove 710 are opposite to each other. The button assembly also includes a second elastic member 810 and a positioning pin 820. The second elastic member 810 is disposed in the positioning hole 340. The positioning pin 820 is embedded in the positioning hole 340, abuts against the second elastic member 810, and can extend into the positioning groove 710.
[0071] In this embodiment, the button assembly further includes a positioning pin 820, which is embedded in a positioning hole 340 extending radially on the mounting portion 330 and a positioning groove 710 extending radially on the collar 700. This enables the transmission of power between the collar 700 and the mounting portion 330, allowing the drive component 400 to transmit power to the first transmission rod 310 via the collar 700 and the mounting portion 330. The button assembly also includes a second elastic member 810, which is disposed within the positioning hole 340. Both ends of the second elastic member 810 abut against the positioning pin 820 and the mounting portion 330, respectively. When the interaction torque between the mounting portion 330 and the collar 700 is large, the positioning pin 820 can disengage from the positioning groove 710 and enter the positioning hole 340, thereby disengaging the mounting portion 330 and the collar 700. This prevents damage to the drive component 400 due to overload and provides overload protection for the drive component 400.
[0072] Specifically, the overload protection structure includes a second elastic element 810 and a locating pin 820.
[0073] Specifically, the positioning groove 710 is a concave surface recessed towards the axis of the collar 700, and the end of the positioning pin 820 facing the positioning groove 710 is a convex surface, which cooperates with the groove.
[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, under normal conditions, the locating pin 820 is affected by the elastic force of the second elastic element 810, and its convex surface presses against the concave groove of the collar 700. When the motor shaft and the collar 700 rotate, the torque does not exceed the threshold. The collar 700 and the locating pin 820 are in close contact and connected under the influence of the elastic force of the second elastic element 810. The locating pin 820 rotates together with the collar 700, and the side wall of the locating pin 820 acts on the locating hole 340 inside the mounting part 330, further driving the first transmission rod 310 to rotate. In this state, the locating pin 820 is equivalent to connecting the collar 700 and the first transmission rod 310 as an intermediate part.
[0075] like Figure 8 As shown, when the load torque exceeds the threshold, the force acting on the convex surface of the positioning pin 820 will be greater than the elastic force of the first elastic element 250. The convex surface of the positioning pin 820 is pushed back into the positioning hole 340 of the mounting part 330, and the engagement between the concave groove of the collar 700 and the positioning pin 820 is disengaged. The transmission between the motor and the first transmission rod 310 is disconnected, preventing damage to the motor from the large torque and playing a protective role.
[0076] The axial cross section of the positioning groove 710 is U-shaped, V-shaped, or arc-shaped, or it can be other shapes of grooves with inclined inner walls. The end of the positioning pin 820 facing the positioning groove 710 is adapted to the positioning groove 710.
[0077] Specifically, the second elastic element 810 is an elastic element such as a spring or elastic foam.
[0078] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the button assembly also includes a magnetic element 830 and a sensing element 840; the magnetic element 830 is disposed on the pressing assembly 200; the sensing element 840 is disposed on the base 100, opposite to the magnetic element 830, and can detect the position of the pressing assembly 200 according to the magnetic field change of the magnetic element 830.
[0079] In this embodiment, the button assembly further includes a magnetic element 830 and a sensing element 840. The magnetic element 830 is disposed on the pressing assembly 200, and the sensing element 840 is disposed on the base 100. The magnetic element 830 can generate a magnetic field, and the sensing element 840 can detect changes in the magnetic field. When the pressing assembly 200 is subjected to force and moves, the magnetic element 830 moves with the pressing assembly 200, thereby causing a change in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element 830. The sensing element 840 can detect the position of the pressing assembly 200 based on the change in the magnetic field, and then control the movement of the driving component 400 based on the position of the pressing assembly 200.
[0080] In one embodiment of this application, a controller is provided, including the button components described above. The controller can be a VR (Virtual Reality) controller, an AR (Augmented Reality) controller, an MR (Mixed Reality) controller, or an XR (Extended Reality) controller. The controller can be connected to an electronic device, including AR / VR / MR devices. The user operates VR / AR applications on the electronic device using the controller. The user can interact with the first electronic device and control the displayed content of the AR / VR / MR device by operating the controller.
