[0032] The following will be described in combination with Figure 1 Figure 12 A VR handle and an electronic device according to embodiments of the present application are described.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present application, a VR handle is provided. The VR handle comprises:

[0034] A housing assembly 1, an opening 11 is arranged on the housing assembly 1, a first accommodating cavity communicating with the opening 11 is formed in the housing assembly 1, and a first sensing member 12 is further arranged on the housing assembly 1;

[0035] A rotating assembly 2 movably arranged in the first accommodating cavity, and part of the rotating assembly 2 is exposed from the opening 11, the rotating assembly 2 comprises a second sensing member 23, the second sensing member 23 is movably connected in the rotating assembly 2 and can keep consistent with the pose of the first sensing member 12;

[0036] ​The first circuit board 3 is arranged in the shell assembly 1, and the first sensor 4 is arranged on the rotating assembly 2 and is in signal connection with the first circuit board 3. When the rotating assembly 2 is in an active state, the first circuit board 3 can receive the active signal of the rotating assembly 2 through the first sensor 4, so as to realize the virtual operation of the VR handle.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 Figure 5 The shell assembly 1 is provided with an opening 11, and a first accommodating cavity communicating with the opening 11 is formed in the shell assembly 1, so that the opening 11 can conveniently accommodate and arrange the rotating assembly 2 in cooperation with the first accommodating cavity. In addition, the opening 11 can also provide the operable area and operation point of the rotating assembly 2. For example, according to the actual holding demand of the user for the VR handle, the size and opening position of the opening 11 on the shell assembly 1 are adjusted, and the operable area and operation point of the rotating assembly 2 are correspondingly adjusted, so as to meet the different operation demands of the user and expand the application range of the VR handle.

[0038] In addition, the rotating assembly 2 of the embodiment of the application can include a second sensing member 23. The second sensing member 23 is movably connected in the rotating assembly 2, for example, the second sensing member 23 can be movably connected in the rotating assembly 2 through a movable support, so that the second sensing member 23 can rotate in the rotating assembly 2, so that the second sensing member 23 and the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 keep consistent. Specifically, when the user moves the VR handle, the movement of the VR handle will drive the internally movably arranged rotating assembly 2 to move. At this time, the second sensing member 23 movably connected in the rotating assembly 2 can be correspondingly rotated based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, magnetic field resonance and the like, so as to rotate to a state of keeping relative stillness with the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1, so that the second sensing member 23 and the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 keep consistent, so as to use the second sensing member 23 to sense the active state of the shell assembly 1, that is, the VR handle, thereby enhancing the operability of the VR handle, and improving the space utilization in the rotating assembly 2.

[0039] When the rotating assembly 2 is in an active state, the rotation of the second sensing member 23 can keep the second sensing member 23 and the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 consistent at all times, so as to improve the accuracy of the second sensing member 23 in sensing the active state of the shell assembly 1, that is, the VR handle, and can also ensure the control accuracy when the VR handle moves greatly.

[0040] ​The rotating assembly 2 can be a rotating ball, a rotating lever or a rotating knob, and is movably arranged in the first accommodating cavity of the shell assembly 1. The second sensing member 23 is movably arranged in the rotating assembly 2, so that the second sensing member 23 can rotate in the rotating assembly 2, and the position and posture of the second sensing member 23 are consistent with those of the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 The rotating assembly 2 is movably arranged in the first accommodating cavity, that is, the rotating assembly 2 can move, such as rotate, press or rotate and press, in the first accommodating cavity, so as to match different virtual operations through different movement states of the rotating assembly 2, and increase the function of the VR handle. In addition, part of the rotating assembly 2 can be exposed from the opening 11, which can facilitate the user to operate the rotating assembly 2 from the opening 11 to complete different virtual operations through different movement states of the rotating assembly 2, and enhance the operability of the VR handle.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 The VR handle also includes a first circuit board 3 and a first sensor 4. The first circuit board 3 is arranged in the shell assembly 1, such as being fixed in the shell assembly 1 by screws, clamping or the like, and provides communication and control functions of the VR handle. The first sensor 4 is arranged on the rotating assembly 2 and is signal connected with the first circuit board 3, for example, the first sensor 4 and the first circuit board 3 are electrically connected through wireless signals, so that the first sensor 4 can detect the movement signal of the rotating assembly 2 in real time and transmit the movement signal to the first circuit board 3 when the rotating assembly 2 is in a movement state, so as to realize virtual operation of the VR handle through the first circuit board 3.

[0043] The first sensor 4 can include at least one of a gravity sensor, a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor and a photoelectric sensor, so as to detect different movement states of the rotating assembly 2 through the first sensor 4, thereby realizing different virtual operations.

[0044] In another embodiment, the first switch 8 and the second switch 9 can also be arranged on the VR handle to enable the combination of interactions to be enhanced by the first switch 8 and the second switch 9 to meet the user's fine operation requirements. For example, the first switch 8 and the second switch 9 can correspond to the thumb and the index finger of the user when holding, respectively, so as to facilitate the operation switching of the rotating assembly 2 by the first switch 8 and the second switch 9. For example, when the thumb presses the first switch 8, a series of operations can be performed on the rotating assembly 2 to realize the virtual operation of the VR handle, and when the index finger presses the second switch 9, a series of operations can also be performed on the rotating assembly 2 to realize the virtual operation of the VR handle, so as to enhance the combination of interactions to meet the user's fine operation requirements.

[0045] In the case that the rotating assembly 2 is in an active state, the first sensor 4 on the rotating assembly 2 is used to detect an activity signal of the rotating assembly 2, and the activity signal is transmitted to the first circuit board 3, so as to realize the virtual operation of the VR handle, facilitate the user's fine operation requirements, and enhance the operability of the VR handle. At the same time, the activity state of the VR handle, which is sensed by the second sensing member 23, can be combined to realize the linkage in space between the rotating assembly 2 and the VR handle, and meet the user's fine operation requirements. In addition, at least one of the gravity sensor, the speed sensor, the acceleration sensor, and the photoelectric sensor is arranged on the shell assembly 1, so as to intuitively and conveniently detect the activity state of the VR handle by using these sensors, thereby enhancing the operability of the VR handle.

[0046] Optionally, the activity state of the rotating assembly 2 includes a rotating state and a pressing state. In the case that the rotating assembly 2 is in the rotating state, the first circuit board 3 can receive a rotating signal of the rotating assembly 2 by the first sensor 4, and operate the virtual position of the VR handle.

[0047] In the case that the rotating assembly 2 is in the pressing state, the first circuit board 3 can receive a pressure signal of the rotating assembly 2 by the first sensor 4, and operate the virtual function of the VR handle.

[0048] Specifically, the activity state of the rotating assembly 2 includes the rotating state and the pressing state. The rotating state can be that the rotating assembly 2 rotates in the first accommodating cavity, and the pressing state can be that the rotating assembly 2 is pressed.

[0049] In the rotating state of the rotating assembly 2, that is, in the case that the rotating assembly 2 rotates in the first accommodating cavity, the first sensor 4 arranged on the rotating assembly 2 can detect a rotating signal of the rotating assembly 2 and transmit the rotating signal to the first circuit board 3, so as to realize the operation on the virtual position of the VR handle. For example, the rotating direction of the rotating assembly 2 can be matched with the virtual moving direction of the VR handle, or the rotating angle of the rotating assembly 2 can be matched with the virtual displacement of the VR handle.

[0050] In the pressing state of the rotating assembly 2, that is, in the case that the rotating assembly 2 is pressed, the first sensor 4 arranged on the rotating assembly 2 can detect a pressure signal of the rotating assembly 2 and transmit the pressure signal to the first circuit board 3, so as to realize the operation on the virtual function of the VR handle. For example, different pressure ranges borne by the rotating assembly 2 can be set to match different virtual functions of the VR handle, such as single click, double click, long press, etc.

[0051] Optionally, the active state of the rotating assembly 2 further includes a combined active state. In the case that the rotating assembly 2 is in the combined active state, the first circuit board 3 can receive the rotating signal and the pressure signal of the rotating assembly 2 through the first sensor 4 and operate the virtual position and the virtual function of the VR handle.

[0052] Specifically, the active state of the rotating assembly 2 can further include a combined active state, that is, the rotating assembly 2 can rotate and be pressed. In the case that the rotating assembly 2 rotates and is pressed, the first sensor 4 arranged on the rotating assembly 2 can detect a rotating signal and a pressure signal of the rotating assembly 2 and transmit the rotating signal and the pressure signal to the first circuit board 3, so as to realize the operation on the virtual position and the virtual function of the VR handle. For example, the combined active state of the rotating assembly 2 can be matched with the virtual rotation around the axis of the VR handle, the dragging of virtual objects, etc.

[0053] Optionally, the rotating assembly 2 is in a spherical structure, and the spherical structure is movably arranged in the first accommodating cavity, and part of the spherical structure can be exposed from the opening 11.

[0054] As shown in FIG. Figure 1 Figure 5 The rotating assembly 2 can be in a spherical structure, the rotating assembly 2 is designed as a spherical structure, which can facilitate the rotation of the spherical structure in the first accommodating cavity, so that the first sensor 4 arranged on the spherical structure can detect a rotating signal of the spherical structure and transmit the rotating signal to the first circuit board 3, thereby realizing the operation on the virtual position of the VR handle.

[0055] ​In addition, a partial spherical structure is arranged to protrude from the opening 11, so that a user can operate the spherical structure from the opening 11 to rotate or press the spherical structure, so as to complete different virtual operations through different active states of the spherical structure, thereby enhancing the operability of the VR handle.

[0056] Optionally, the rotating assembly 2 comprises:

[0057] a spherical shell 21, a second accommodating cavity being formed in the spherical shell 21;

[0058] a support 22 arranged in the second accommodating cavity, and the second sensing member 23 being movably connected to the support 22 and keeping consistent with the pose of the first sensing member 12.

[0059] As shown in Figure 8 the embodiment of the present application, the rotating assembly 2 can comprise the spherical shell 21, the support 22 and the second sensing member 23. The second accommodating cavity is formed in the spherical shell 21, on one hand, the second accommodating cavity can be used to arrange sensors and other structures, thereby improving the space utilization in the rotating assembly 2 and saving the occupied space in the shell assembly 1; on the other hand, the design of the spherical shell 21 also facilitates the rotation of the rotating assembly 2 in the first accommodating cavity in the shell assembly 1, thereby reducing the operation difficulty of the VR handle.

[0060] In addition, the support 22 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity, the support 22 can be connected to the inner wall of the spherical shell 21, the second sensing member 23 is movably connected to the support 22, and the second sensing member 23 can move relative to the support 22, so that the second sensing member 23 can keep consistent with the pose of the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1, for example, the second sensing member 23 keeps relatively static with the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1, thereby the second sensing member 23 can be used to sense the active state of the shell assembly 1, i.e. the VR handle, thereby enhancing the operability of the VR handle, and improving the space utilization in the rotating assembly 2.

[0061] When the rotating assembly 2 is in the active state, the second sensing member 23 can keep consistent with the pose of the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 through the rotation of the second sensing member 23, so as to improve the accuracy of the second sensing member 23 in sensing the active state of the shell assembly 1, i.e. the VR handle, and ensure the control accuracy when the VR handle moves greatly.

[0062] Optionally, the support 22 comprises a first support 221 and a second support 222 perpendicular to each other, the first support 221 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spherical shell 21, the second support 222 is rotatably connected to the first support 221 along a first axis, and the second support 222 can rotate along the first axis in the spherical shell 21.

[0063] The second sensing member 23 is rotationally connected to the second support 222 along a second axis, and the second sensing member 23 can rotate along the second axis in the second support 222, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis.

[0064] As shown in the Figure 8 Figure 10 The support 22 can include a first support 221 and a second support 222 perpendicular to each other, and the first support 221 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spherical shell 21, that is, the first support 221 can be fixed to the inner wall of the spherical shell 21. The second support 222 is rotationally connected to the first support 221 along a first axis, so that the second support 222 can rotate 360 degrees along the first axis in the spherical shell 21, and the first axis can be an axis of symmetry of the first support 221. Among them, in order to facilitate the fixation of the first support 221, the outer shape of the first support 221 can be matched with the inner wall of the spherical shell 21, that is, the first support 221 is a support 22, the first axis is a diameter of the support 22, and the second support 222 is rotationally connected to the support 22 and can rotate 360 degrees along a diameter of the support 22 in the spherical shell 21, and the second support 222 still rotates in the spherical shell 21 during rotation.

[0065] The second sensing member 23 is rotationally connected to the second support 222 along a second axis, and the second sensing member 23 can rotate along the second axis in the second support 222, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis. Figure 10 Among them, in order to facilitate connection and rotation, the second sensing member 23 can be a rectangular sensing member, the second support 222 can be a support 22 matched with the rectangular sensing member, and the second axis can be a length or a width of the support 22, so as to facilitate flexible rotation of the second sensing member 23 on the second support 222, and flexible rotation of the second support 222 on the first support 221. Of course, according to actual design requirements, the first support 221, the second support 222 and the second sensing member 23 can also be designed in other shapes or special shapes.

[0066] And the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis, such as the X-axis and the Z-axis in Figure 10 In the case that the rotation assembly 2 is in an active state, the second sensing member 23 in the rotation assembly 2 and the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 can always keep consistent in pose through the rotation of the second support 222 and the second sensing member 23, such as the second sensing member 23 and the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1 keep relatively static, so as to accurately sense the active state of the shell assembly 1, that is, the VR handle, by using the second sensing member 23, avoid the influence of the activity of the rotation assembly 2 on the sensing of the second sensing member 23, and enhance the operability of the VR handle.

[0067] In another embodiment, the support 22 can also be configured to include only the second support 222, which is movably connected to the inner wall of the spherical shell 21 along the first axis, and the second sensing member 23 is rotatably connected to the second support 222 along the second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis. The rotation of the second sensing member 23 and the second support 222 can also be superimposed, so that the second sensing member 23 in the rotation assembly 2 can always be consistent with the position of the first sensing member 12 on the shell assembly 1, while reducing the cost of the support 22.

[0068] Optionally, the opposite ends of the second sensing member 23 are provided with a connecting rotating shaft 231, and the opposite ends of the second support 222 are provided with a connecting groove 2221, and the connecting rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected with the connecting groove 2221.

[0069] As shown in Figure 8 the embodiment of the present application, the opposite ends of the second sensing member 23 are provided with a connecting rotating shaft 231, and the opposite ends of the second support 222 are provided with a connecting groove 2221, and the axis of the connecting rotating shaft 231 is the second axis, and the connecting rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected with the connecting groove 2221, so that the second sensing member 23 can rotate 360 degrees along the axis of the connecting rotating shaft 231 on the second support 222.

[0070] In addition, the rotatable connection between the connecting rotating shaft 231 and the connecting groove 2221 provides a rotation space for the second sensing member 23, and also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the second sensing member 23 and the second support 222, thereby reducing the production and assembly difficulty and the maintenance and replacement difficulty of the VR handle.

[0071] Optionally, the second sensing member 23 includes:

[0074] The second sensor 233 is arranged on the second circuit board 232, so that the second sensor 233 can transmit the detected activity signal of the VR handle to the second circuit board 232, and then transmit the activity signal of the VR handle to the first circuit board 3 through the communication connection between the second circuit board 232 and the first circuit board 3, so as to realize the somatosensory control of the VR handle.

[0075] The second circuit board 232 is movably connected to the support 22, so that when the rotating assembly 2 is in a movable state, the second circuit board 232 and the second sensor 233 on the second circuit board 232 can be consistent with the pose of the first sensing member 12, and the activity state of the shell assembly 1, i.e. the VR handle, can be accurately sensed by the second sensor 233, avoiding the influence of the movement of the rotating assembly 2 on the sensing of the second sensor 233, and enhancing the operability of the VR handle.
