[0008] When the first connecting member and the second connecting member are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the inner ring, the two are magnetically connected so that the second connecting member can sink into the inner wall of the inner ring and remove the rope fixing member. When the first connecting member and the second connecting member are misaligned in the radial direction, the second connecting member protrudes from the inner wall of the inner ring and abuts against and fixes the rope fixing member.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the outer shell is annular, and a third connecting member is further provided on the surface of the outer shell facing the inner ring. The third connecting member and the second connecting member are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the outer shell, and the second connecting member and the third connecting member are magnetically attracted to each other when they are radially opposite to each other. The magnetic attraction force between the second connecting member and the third connecting member is smaller than the elastic force exerted on the second connecting member, so that the second connecting member protrudes from the inner wall of the inner ring and abuts against and fixes the rope fixing member.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member, the second connecting member, and the third connecting member are all magnets, the inner wall of the inner ring is provided with a mounting groove, an elastic member is provided in the mounting groove, and the end of the elastic member facing away from the bottom of the mounting groove is connected to one end of the second connecting member.

[0020] In the technical solution of the present invention, the lanyard structure includes a fixing seat and a lanyard body. One end of the rope fixing member in the lanyard body can be inserted into the inner ring. The outer shell is rotated to rotate relative to the inner ring. When the first connecting member on the inner wall of the outer shell and the second connecting member in the inner ring are arranged radially opposite each other, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are magnetically attracted to each other. In this way, the second connecting member can be compressed into the inner wall of the inner ring due to the elastic connection characteristics, and then disengaged from the rope fixing member, thereby being able to detach from the inner ring. When the outer shell is rotated again so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member are not radially opposite each other, that is, when they are offset, the second connecting member is no longer subjected to the magnetic attraction and can be ejected and protruded from the inner wall of the inner ring, thereby abutting the circumference of the fixing rope fixing member, thereby achieving a locked connection with the lanyard body. The lanyard structure of this structure does not require the removal of the cover body and other structures. It only needs to rotate the outer shell to the appropriate position to achieve the assembly and removal of the lanyard body, which is convenient and quick, and effectively improves the user experience.

When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0037] The present invention provides a hanging rope structure, aiming to improve the convenience of assembly and disassembly.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the hanging rope structure 1 includes a fixing base 11 and a hanging rope body 13, the fixing base 11 includes an outer shell 111 and an inner ring 113, the outer shell 111 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner ring 113 and can rotate circumferentially relative to the inner ring 113, the outer shell 111 is provided with a first connecting member 115 on the surface facing the inner ring 113, the inner wall of the inner ring 113 is provided with a second connecting member 117, and the second connecting member 117 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 113; the hanging rope body 13 includes a rope fixing member 131 and a rope body 133, one end of the rope fixing member 131 is passed through the inner ring 113, and the rope body 133 is passed through the other end of the rope fixing member 131;
[0039] When the first connecting member 115 and the second connecting member 117 are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the inner ring 113, the two are magnetically connected so that the second connecting member 117 sinks into the inner wall of the inner ring 113 and the rope fixing member 131 is removed. When the first connecting member 115 and the second connecting member 117 are misaligned in the radial direction, the second connecting member 117 protrudes from the inner wall of the inner ring 113 and abuts against and fixes the rope fixing member 131.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lanyard structure 1 can be used in VR controllers, as well as other operating devices or electronic devices, such as game controllers or remote controls, without limitation. It can be used in situations where the device needs to be worn around a wrist or finger using the lanyard structure 1, effectively preventing the device from accidentally falling and improving safety. The lanyard structure 1 includes a mounting base 11 and a lanyard body 13. The mounting base 11 is used to attach the lanyard body 13 to the device. For example, if the device is a controller, the mounting base 11 is connected to the controller housing 111. This connection can be detachable or fixed, such as by bonding. When the lanyard body 13 is needed, it can be assembled to the mounting base 11, and the lanyard body 133 can be worn around the wrist or finger to prevent the controller from accidentally falling. When the lanyard body 13 is no longer needed, it can be quickly removed to improve the convenience of the controller. The lanyard body 133 can be elastic, cotton, or made of other materials, without limitation.
[0041] Optionally, the fixing base 11 includes an outer shell 111 and an inner ring 113 that are rotatably arranged relative to each other. The outer shell 111 has any shape, for example, an annular shape, an arcuate segment, or a block shape. The inner circumference of the outer shell 111 must match the outer circumference of the inner ring 113 and be able to move circumferentially. If the outer shell 111 is annular, the inner circumference is circular. If the outer shell 111 is an arcuate segment, at least a portion of the outer circumference of the inner ring 113 is arcuate. If the outer shell 111 is block-shaped, the outer circumference of the inner ring 113 can be circular, elliptical, or an irregular shape that is at least partially arcuate. The inner circumference of the inner ring 113 also has no particular shape, for example, it can be circular, square, or polygonal, and the outer circumference of the rope fixing member 131 must match it. The overall shape of the inner ring 113 is not limited, for example, a torus or a teardrop ring, as long as the outer circumferential walls of the outer shell 111 and the inner ring 113 can match and move or rotate circumferentially. If the outer shell 111 is not annular, a stopper can be provided to prevent it from falling off the outer circumference of the inner ring 113.
[0042] A first connector 115 is disposed on the surface of the outer shell 111 facing the inner ring 113, and a second connector 117 is disposed on the inner wall of the inner ring 113. The first connector 115 and the second connector 117 are capable of magnetic attraction, so one of the first connector 115 and the second connector 117 may be a magnet or magnetic material and the other may be iron, or both may be magnets, without limitation. The second connector 117 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 113. For example, the second connector 117 may be designed to have a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to deform radially along the inner ring 113, such as to bend. Alternatively, the second connector 117 may be elastically connected via an additional elastic member 114, such as a spring or a reed pipe. This allows its end to move relative to the inner wall of the inner ring 113, for example, to protrude from the inner wall of the inner ring 113, thereby abutting the limiting rope fixing piece 131 at the inner periphery of the inner ring 113, thereby realizing the connection and assembly of the hanging rope body 13, or to be limited to the inner wall of the inner ring 113, thereby moving away from the rope fixing piece 131, so that the hanging rope body 13 can be detached from the inner periphery of the inner ring 113.
[0043] In the technical solution of the present invention, the hanging rope structure 1 includes a fixing seat 11 and a hanging rope body 13. One end of the rope fixing part 131 in the hanging rope body 13 can be passed through the inner ring 113. The outer shell 111 is rotated to rotate relative to the inner ring 113. When the first connecting part 115 on the inner wall of the outer shell 111 and the second connecting part 117 in the inner ring 113 are arranged relative to each other in the radial direction, the first connecting part 115 and the second connecting part 117 will approach each other through magnetic attraction. In this way, the second connecting part 117 can be compressed into the inner wall of the inner ring 113 through the characteristics of the elastic connection, and then disengage from the abutting rope fixing part 131, so that it can be separated from the inner ring 113. When the outer shell 111 is rotated again so that the first connecting member 115 and the second connecting member 117 are no longer radially opposed, that is, when they are offset, the second connecting member 117 is no longer subjected to the magnetic attraction and can be ejected and protruded from the inner wall of the inner ring 113, thereby abutting the circumference of the fixing rope fixing member 131, thereby achieving a locked connection with the lanyard body 13. The lanyard structure 1 of this structure does not require the removal of the cover and other structures. Only the outer shell 111 needs to be rotated to the appropriate position to achieve the assembly and removal of the lanyard body 13, which is convenient and quick, and effectively improves the user experience.
[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In an optional embodiment, the outer shell 111 is annular, and a third connecting member 119 is further provided on the surface of the outer shell 111 facing the inner ring 113. The third connecting member 119 and the second connecting member 117 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the outer shell 111. The second connecting member 117 and the third connecting member 119 are magnetically attracted to each other when they are radially opposite to each other. The magnetic attraction force between the second connecting member 117 and the third connecting member 119 is less than the elastic force exerted on the second connecting member 117, so that the second connecting member 117 protrudes from the inner wall of the inner ring 113 and abuts against and fixes the rope fixing member 131.
[0045] In this embodiment, to facilitate rotation, the outer shell 111 is configured as an annular shape. Its outer circumference can be circular, square, or polygonal, and its inner circumference is circular, allowing it to rotate circumferentially with the inner ring 113, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of rotation. Furthermore, a third connector 119 is provided on the inner surface of the outer shell 111. This third connector 119 and the second connector 117 are also magnetically attracted to each other, i.e., one of the third connectors 119 is a magnet and the other is metal iron, or both are magnets. However, the magnetic attraction between the third connector 119 and the second connector 117 is less than the elastic force acting on the second connector 117. In other words, the elastic force acting on the second connector 117 partially offsets the magnetic attraction, causing the second connector 117 to protrude from the inner wall of the inner ring 113, thereby limiting the position of the fixed rope fixing member 131. Thus, during assembly, if the housing 111 is rotated to cause the first connector 115 to become radially misaligned with the second connector 117, the magnetic attraction of the third connector 119 can circumferentially align the second connector 117 and correct their alignment, providing a "click" feel during rotation and conveniently reminding the user. The housing 111 is then rotated in the opposite direction, causing the first connector 115 to face the second connector 117, thereby pulling the second connector 117 away from the rope fixing member 131.
[0046] It is understandable that the distance between the third connecting member 119 and the first connecting member 115 should not be too small, otherwise, the magnetic attraction between the two and the second connecting member 117 will cause interference; of course, the distance between the two should not be too large, otherwise the angle required to rotate is too large to prompt, and the time is long. Therefore, here, the angle between the center line of the third connecting member 119 and the housing 111 and the center line of the first connecting member 115 and the housing 111 is set to 15 ° ~30 ° , for example, 17 ° 、19 ° ,twenty four ° , 26 ° Etc., thereby ensuring the stability and convenience of disassembly and assembly at the same time.
[0047] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 7 In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member 115, the second connecting member 117, and the third connecting member 119 are all magnets, and the inner wall of the inner ring 113 is provided with a mounting groove 1131a, and an elastic member 114 is provided in the mounting groove 1131a, and the end of the elastic member 114 facing away from the bottom of the mounting groove 1131a is connected to one end of the second connecting member 117.
[0048] Optionally, the outer shell 111 and the inner ring 113 can be made of plastic and can be integrally formed by injection molding, which is convenient for processing and has high structural strength. In this embodiment, an elastic member 114, such as a spring or a spring tube, is installed in the installation groove 1131a, and one end of the second connecting member 117 is connected to the elastic member 114 to achieve elastic reciprocating motion, which can ensure the elastic effect and the locking effect of the second connecting member 117. The first connecting member 115, the second connecting member 117, and the third connecting member 119 are all configured as magnets, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction between the first connecting member 115 and the second connecting member 117, ensuring the control of the movement of the second connecting member 117, and ensuring thorough disassembly and assembly. Of course, the volume of the third connecting member 119 can be set to be smaller than the volume of the first connecting member 115, thereby reducing magnetism and reducing the magnetic attraction with the second connecting member 117, thereby achieving stable movement of the inner wall of the protruding inner ring 113. Alternatively, the magnetic capability of the third connecting member 119 may be set to be smaller than that of the first connecting member 115 , so that the elastic member 114 can exert elastic force to push the second connecting member 117 to abut against the limiting rope fixing member 131 .
[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, the second connecting member 117 includes a magnet portion 1171 and a piston portion 1173, the magnet portion 1171 is provided at one end of the piston portion 1173 facing the groove wall of the installation groove 1131a, the end of the elastic member 114 away from the bottom of the installation groove 1131a is sleeved on the end portions of the magnet portion 1171 and the piston portion 1173, and a slot 1311 is provided on the circumferential side of the rope fixing member 131. When the second connecting member 117 and the third connecting member 119 are magnetically attracted to each other in the radial direction, the piston portion 1173 is inserted into the slot 1311.
[0050] In this embodiment, to reduce the weight and magnetic force of second connector 117 and prevent excessively high elastic force requirements on elastic member 114, second connector 117 is configured as a magnet portion 1171 and a piston portion 1173. Piston portion 1173 can be made of other materials, such as plastic or other metals. Magnet portion 1171 is located at one end of piston portion 1173 and faces toward housing 111, facilitating magnetic attraction with first connector 115 and third connector 119 of housing 111. Piston portion 1173 protrudes from the inner wall of inner ring 113 and engages with slot 1311 of rope retainer 131, abutting against the walls of slot 1311 to achieve a secure connection. This further enhances the stability of the positional relationship between second connector 117 and rope retainer 131, effectively preventing rope retainer 131 from slipping axially from inner ring 113 due to forceful dragging. The opening of the slot 1311 is adapted to the shape of the piston portion 1173 , for example, the opening is circular, square, or polygonal.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 In an optional embodiment, a stop portion 1175 is protruded from the periphery of the piston portion 1173, and one end of the elastic member 114 facing away from the bottom of the mounting groove 1131a abuts against one side of the stop portion 1175. The piston portion 1173 is inserted into the slot 1311, and the other side of the stop portion 1175 abuts against the opening edge of the slot 1311.
[0052] In this embodiment, a stopper is provided on the circumference of the piston portion 1173. The stopper can be annular and arranged around the circumference of the piston portion 1173, or it can be block-shaped and spaced apart around the circumference of the piston portion 1173. One side of the stopper can abut one end of the elastic member 114, thereby limiting the fixation of the elastic member 114 and preventing the elastic member 114 from sliding to the other end of the piston portion 1173 due to the magnetic attraction of the first connecting member 115. This would affect the downward movement of the piston portion 1173 into the slot 1311 during locking. The stopper can improve the fixed position of the elastic member 114 and ensure the locking effect of the piston portion 1173. At the same time, the stopper can also abut the opening edge of the slot 1311 to limit the movement range of the piston portion 1173 and ensure the performance of the elastic member 114.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 In an optional embodiment, a mounting post 1131 is protruded from the inner wall of the inner ring 113, and the mounting post 1131 is provided with the mounting groove 1131a. A positioning groove 1313 is provided on the circumferential side of the rope fixing member 131, and a side wall of the positioning groove 1313 passes through the end surface of the rope fixing member 131 away from the rope body 133. The bottom of the positioning groove 1313 is provided with the slot 1311, and the mounting post 1131 is slidably arranged in the positioning groove 1313.
[0054] In this embodiment, to facilitate alignment of the piston portion 1173 with the slot 1311, a mounting post 1131 is protruded from the interior of the inner ring 113. The mounting post 1131 defines a mounting groove 1131a. The bottom depth of the mounting groove 1131a is greater than the height between the inner wall of the inner ring 113 and the mounting post 1131, thereby ensuring stable fixation of the elastic member 114 and the second connecting member 117. The cross-section of the mounting post 1131 may be circular, square, polygonal, etc., without limitation herein. When the rope fixing part 131 is a column, a positioning groove 1313 is opened on its circumferential side, and the positioning groove 1313 also has an opening facing the end face of the rope fixing part 131 away from the rope body 133, that is, the side wall passes through the end face of the rope fixing part 131, so that when the rope fixing part 131 is inserted, the installation column 1131 can be inserted into the positioning groove 1313 along the opening, thereby positioning the slot 1311 and the piston part 1173 in the circumferential direction, facilitating assembly and further improving convenience.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In an optional embodiment, a receiving groove 1133 is opened on the outer periphery of the inner ring 113, and the inner peripheral wall of the outer shell 111 and the first connecting member 115 are slidably fitted in the receiving groove 1133 to rotate relative to the inner ring 113.
[0056] In this embodiment, to improve the axial stability between the inner ring 113 and the outer shell 111, a receiving groove 1133 is provided on the outer circumference of the inner ring 113. The receiving groove 1133 can be annular or arc-shaped, extending along the outer circumference of the inner ring 113. The inner circumferential wall of the outer shell 111 slides within the receiving groove 1133 and rotates relative to the inner ring 113. The axial width of the outer shell 111 can be adapted to the opening size of the receiving groove 1133, thereby saving material and better distinguishing it from the inner ring 113, facilitating rotation operation. Of course, in other embodiments, a sliding portion can also be provided on the inner circumference of the outer shell 111 to slide with the receiving groove 1133, while the outer circumferential surface has the same width as the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring 113.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of balls 116 are provided in the receiving groove 1133 , and the inner peripheral wall of the shell 111 slides against the plurality of balls 116 .
[0058] In this embodiment, to further enhance sliding smoothness, a plurality of balls 116 are disposed within the receiving groove 1133. The plurality of balls 116 slide against the inner circumferential wall of the housing 111, thereby further facilitating rotation of the housing 111. The balls 116 can be made of metal or ceramic, such as steel balls, which are smooth and wear-resistant, thereby enhancing performance. Of course, in other embodiments, a coating can be provided on the inner circumferential wall of the housing 111 and the wall of the receiving groove 1133 to reduce friction between the two and facilitate rotation.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In an optional embodiment, two fixing columns 1111 are protruded from the inner wall of the outer shell 111, each of the fixing columns 1111 is provided with a fixing hole 1111a, the first connecting member 115 and the third connecting member 119 are installed in the fixing holes 1111a, the protruding height of the fixing columns 1111 is adapted to the diameter of the ball 116, and the fixing columns 1111 abut against the bottom of the accommodating groove 1133.
[0060] In this embodiment, two fixing posts 1111 are protruding from the inner wall of the housing 111. The fixing posts 1111 define fixing holes 1111a, which are blind holes. The first connector 115 and the third connector 119 are installed in the fixing holes 1111a. For example, they can be inserted into the fixing holes 1111a through an interference fit to achieve fixation. Alternatively, the first connector 115 and the third connector 119 can be bonded to the fixing holes 1111a through a colloid to further improve installation stability. In this way, while the inner wall of the housing 111 abuts the ball 116, the fixing posts 1111 abut against the wall of the receiving groove 1133, bringing the first connector 115 and the third connector 119 closer to the second connector 117, ensuring magnetic attraction, and thus ensuring convenience and stability of removal. The cross section of the fixing column 1111 is circular, square or polygonal, which is not limited here, and the first connecting member 115 and the third connecting member 119 are adapted to the shape thereof.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, a ball rack 118 is also installed in the accommodating groove 1133.

The plurality of fixing holes 1181 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the ball rack 118, and a ball 116 is arranged in one of the fixing holes 1181.
[0062] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the uniformity of the balls 116, a ball rack 118 is provided in the receiving groove 1133. The material of the ball rack 118 can be plastic or metal, which is not limited here. It extends along the extension direction of the receiving groove 1133 and abuts the fixing column 1111 at both ends. A plurality of fixing holes 1181 are provided on the ball rack 118. The plurality of fixing holes 1181 are used to fix the plurality of balls 116, so that the balls 116 can roll in the fixing holes 1181, thereby further reducing the rotational friction of the outer shell 111 relative to the inner ring 113, and allowing the plurality of balls 116 to be evenly distributed in the receiving groove 1133, ensuring the sliding effect at various positions on the inner wall of the outer shell 111, and improving the rotational stability and smoothness. Specifically, the ball rack 118 is a linear structure, which saves space. Of course, in other embodiments, the ball rack 118 can also be plate-shaped or other shapes.
[0063] The present invention further provides a handle (not shown), comprising a handle body and a lanyard structure 1 as described above, wherein the fixing base 11 is connected to the handle body. Since the lanyard structure 1 of this handle utilizes all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and no further description is given here.
[0064] As mentioned above, the handle can be a VR handle, a remote control, a host operation handle, etc., or it can be a handle of any device used for operation in industry or life, such as a locking tool.
[0065] The present invention further provides a VR device (not shown), comprising a VR head-mounted display (HMD) and a handle as described above, communicatively connected to the HMD. Because the lanyard structure 1 included in the HMD handle utilizes all of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, it exhibits at least the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and therefore will not be further elaborated upon here.
[0066] Here, the VR device uses a handle to perform action operations in the virtual environment. Since the swinging amplitude of the action is generally large, the hanging rope structure 1 can provide better protection for it and can improve the high-end quality of the VR device due to its faster and more convenient disassembly and assembly method.
