Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball control technology, and particularly to a ball control system. Background Technology

[0002] Due to its advantages such as portability, high-definition images, smooth video, quick installation, and long battery life, surveillance cameras have become a commonly used police enforcement equipment in recent years for many law enforcement departments, including traffic police and urban management units.

[0003] Due to the relatively large size of the deployment ball, some deployment balls in related technologies typically have an external handle on their housing for easy carrying. This external handle is usually secured to the antenna housing housing of the deployment ball using screws or other fasteners.

[0004] However, since external handles are usually fastened to the antenna housing of the control ball, it is not convenient to quickly install or remove the external handle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a control ball that allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the control ball's handle.

[0006] This invention provides a control ball, which includes a housing assembly, a handle, and an elastic element. The housing assembly has an assembly cavity and a through hole. The handle includes an assembly portion. The through hole communicates with the assembly cavity and is structurally adapted to the assembly portion. The assembly portion is disposed within the assembly cavity. The handle is rotatably disposed relative to the housing assembly, so that the assembly portion can rotate within the assembly cavity to an open position that allows it to pass through the through hole or a locked position that is blocked within the assembly cavity.

[0007] The elastic element is disposed in the assembly cavity and is disposed opposite to the assembly part; the assembly part has a first assembly surface and a second assembly surface in its own rotation direction; when the handle is in the open position, the elastic element is disposed opposite to the first assembly surface; when the handle is in the locked position, the elastic element abuts against the second assembly surface.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments, when the handle is in the locked position, the housing assembly has a blocking portion around the through hole, the blocking portion blocking the mounting portion, and the mounting portion abutting against the side wall of the mounting cavity.

[0009] In some alternative embodiments, the handle includes a connecting portion and a handle portion, the handle portion being located outside the housing assembly, the connecting portion passing through the through hole and vertically connected between the handle portion and the assembly portion.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, the distance between the first mounting surface and the center of the mounting part is less than the distance between the second mounting surface and the center of the mounting part.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, when the handle is in the open position, the elastic element is in contact with the first mounting surface, wherein both the first and second mounting surfaces are planar.

[0012] And / or, the surface of the assembly has a chamfer, the chamfer being located between the first assembly surface and the second assembly surface.

[0013] In some optional embodiments, the assembly part is a cuboid, the first assembly surface and the second assembly surface are two mutually perpendicular sides of the cuboid, the first assembly surface and the second assembly surface are parallel to the axis of the connecting part, and the through hole is a rectangular hole adapted to the structure of the cuboid.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, the housing assembly includes an antenna housing having a mounting portion having the assembly cavity and the through hole, the mounting portion being disposed on the side of the antenna housing facing the outside of the control ball.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, the assembly cavity has a support platform, the assembly part is disposed on the support platform surface of the support platform, and the elastic element is located on the side of the support platform.

[0016] In some alternative embodiments, the elastic element includes a first fixing part, a cantilever part, and a second fixing part, the first fixing part and the second fixing part being connected to the mounting part, the cantilever part being connected between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and being disposed opposite to the assembly part.

[0017] In some alternative embodiments, the mounting portion has a mounting groove on the side opposite to the elastic member that is adapted to the structure of the elastic member.

[0018] This invention provides a control ball. First, a handle is provided inside the control ball. Since the housing assembly of the control ball has an assembly cavity and a through hole, the through hole is connected to the assembly cavity and adapted to the assembly structure of the handle, allowing the assembly to be installed in the assembly cavity through the through hole. Next, by means of an elastic member, a first and a second assembly surface in the rotation direction of the assembly, and the handle being rotatably positioned relative to the housing assembly, when the handle is rotated from the open position to the locked position, the assembly is offset relative to the through hole and the open position, and is blocked in the assembly cavity from passing through the through hole. Since the elastic member abuts against the second assembly surface, the handle is prevented from being difficult to continue rotating. Under the combined action of the elastic member and the housing assembly, the handle can be fixed inside the housing assembly, achieving quick assembly of the handle. At the same time, the handle can be rotated again to rotate the assembly from the locked position to the open position. Since the elastic member is positioned opposite to the first assembly surface, the user can directly remove the handle from the through hole, achieving quick disassembly of the handle. Therefore, the control ball in this embodiment does not require additional disassembly tools; the handle can be quickly disassembled and assembled simply by rotating it. Attached Figure Description

[0033] In recent years, surveillance cameras have become a commonly used police enforcement equipment for many law enforcement departments, such as traffic police and urban management units.

[0034] Due to the relatively large size of the control ball, a handle is provided to facilitate user carrying and increase portability. The handle design has specific requirements regarding its size, weight, and detachability; it needs to be small, lightweight, and easily detachable, and it must be located at the head of the control ball.

[0035] Currently, a typical surveillance camera includes a base housing, an outer housing, two antenna housings, a core housing, a camera, and sensor components. The outer housing is mounted on the top mounting surface of the base housing. The two antenna housings are positioned opposite each other on the outer housing. The core housing is mounted on top of the outer housing and located between the two antenna housings. The camera and sensor components are housed within the core housing, which can rotate relative to the base housing on a first plane perpendicular to the mounting surface. The two antenna housings are connected to the outer housing and can rotate relative to the base housing on a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. This rotation of the core housing, antenna housings, and outer housing relative to the base housing allows for rotation of the camera relative to the base housing on both the first and second planes, maximizing the camera's rotation angle within the base housing.

[0036] The top of the core housing or antenna housing can be understood as the head of the control ball. Some control balls in related technologies incorporate a recessed structure on the core housing to create a handle, which is an internal structure on the outer surface of the control ball, also known as a latch. Due to this recessed structure, the core housing of the control ball is significantly heavier than traditional housings. Furthermore, to accommodate the camera and sensor components within the core housing, the volume of the housing is increased, resulting in a larger and heavier overall size. Moreover, due to limitations in the industrial design (ID) dimensions of the housing, the handle formed in the recessed structure is relatively small, making it difficult for the user to grip securely.

[0037] During the research and development of the control ball, a new type of control ball was provided in the related technology. The antenna housing of the new control ball is equipped with an external handle, which needs to be fixed to the antenna housing housing with screws or other fasteners.

[0038] However, removing the handle requires additional tools to loosen the fasteners and detach the external handle from the antenna housing. Similarly, installing the external handle also requires additional tools to tighten the fasteners and secure it to the antenna housing. This makes the installation and removal of the external handle cumbersome and prevents quick and easy assembly / disassembly.

[0039] To address this, this invention provides a control ball. A handle and an elastic element are provided within the housing assembly of the control ball. The assembly portion of the handle is disposed within the assembly cavity of the housing assembly through a through hole and is rotatably disposed relative to the housing assembly. The elastic element is located to the side of the assembly portion, and when the handle is in the locked position, the elastic element abuts against the assembly portion. This embodiment, through the elastic element and the housing assembly, can limit the position of the assembly portion within the housing assembly. This control ball requires no additional disassembly tools; the handle can be quickly attached and detached simply by rotation.

[0040] The structure of the control ball in this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example

[0042] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a structure where the handle of a control ball is in the open position inside the antenna housing. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of the ball control system in the AA direction.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control ball includes a housing assembly 100 and a handle 200. The housing assembly 100 has an assembly cavity 1111 and a through hole 1112, so that part of the structure of the handle 200 can pass through the through hole 1112 into the assembly cavity 1111, thereby realizing the assembly and fixation of the handle 200 on the housing assembly 100.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the handle 200 includes an assembly part 210, with a through hole 1112 communicating with and fitting the assembly cavity 1111. The assembly part 210 is disposed within the assembly cavity 1111. The assembly part 210 can be disposed within the assembly cavity 1111 through the through hole 1112 to facilitate the assembly and fixation of the handle 200 on the housing assembly 100.

[0045] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a structure in which the handle of a control ball is locked inside the antenna housing. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Cross-sectional view of the ball control system in the BB direction.

[0046] refer to Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the handle 200 is rotatably disposed relative to the housing assembly 100 so that the mounting part 210 can rotate within the mounting cavity 1111 to an open position that allows passage through the through hole 1112 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), or in a locked position blocked within the assembly cavity 1111 (as shown). Figure 4As shown in the diagram, when the assembly part 210 is installed in the assembly hole 340 through the through hole 1112, the user can rotate the handle 200 to rotate the assembly part 210 from the open position to the locked position in the assembly cavity 1111, thereby assembling and fixing the handle 200 from the housing assembly 100, or rotate the assembly part 210 from the locked position to the open position in the assembly cavity 1111, thereby removing the handle 200 from the housing assembly 100.

[0047] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A magnified view of the ball control at point C in the middle of the line. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of the ball control at point D in the middle of the ball.

[0048] from Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen, the control ball includes an elastic element 300, which is disposed within the assembly cavity 1111 and is disposed opposite to the assembly part 210. The assembly part 210 has a first assembly surface 211 and a second assembly surface 212 in its rotational direction. When the handle 200 is in the open position, the elastic element 300 is disposed opposite to the first assembly surface 211. When the handle 200 is in the locked position, the elastic element 300 abuts against the second assembly surface 212. When the user rotates the handle 200 to move the assembly part 210 from the open position to the locked position, since the handle 200 is in the open position and the elastic element 300 is opposite to the first assembly surface 211, during the rotation of the assembly part 210 in the assembly cavity 1111, the assembly part 210 will be offset relative to the through hole 1112 and the open position, so that the assembly part 210 cannot pass through the through hole 1112 and is blocked by the housing assembly 100 in the assembly cavity 1111, so as to lock the assembly part 210 in the locked position.

[0049] Since the elastic element 300 abuts against the second assembly surface 212, the handle 200 can be prevented from continuing to rotate under the action of the elastic element 300. Under the abutment of the elastic element 300 and the blocking of the housing assembly 100, the handle 200 can be locked in the assembly cavity 1111, thereby realizing the fixation of the handle 200 in the housing assembly 100 and realizing the quick assembly of the handle 200.

[0050] Meanwhile, when the user needs to remove the handle 200, the handle 200 can be rotated again to rotate the assembly part 210 from the locked position to the open position. Since the elastic element 300 is disengaged from the second assembly surface 212 and is positioned opposite to the first assembly surface 211, the assembly part 210 can pass through the through hole 1112. The user can directly remove the handle 200 from the through hole 1112 to achieve quick disassembly of the handle 200.

[0051] Therefore, compared to the control ball with an external handle mentioned above, the control ball in this embodiment does not require additional disassembly tools. The handle 200 can be quickly disassembled and assembled simply by rotating it.

[0052] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing assembly 100 includes an antenna housing 110. Wherein, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a partial structure of the antenna housing 110. The overall structure of the antenna housing 110 is as follows: Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown in the image.

[0053] It should be noted that the housing assembly 100 also includes a base compartment housing, an outer compartment housing, and a core compartment housing. The base compartment housing, outer compartment housing, core compartment housing, and antenna compartment housing 110 can collectively constitute the housing assembly 100 of the control ball. The arrangement and connection relationships between the base compartment housing, outer compartment housing, core compartment housing, and antenna compartment housing 110 can be referred to the relevant descriptions above, and will not be further elaborated in this embodiment.

[0054] It should be understood that the surveillance sphere may also include a camera and sensor assembly, which may be housed within the core housing. The specific structure of the camera and sensor assembly and their placement within the core housing can be found in existing descriptions of surveillance spheres, and will not be elaborated further in this embodiment.

[0055] from Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen, the antenna housing 110 has a mounting part 111, which has an assembly cavity 1111 and a through hole 1112. The mounting part 111 is located on the side of the antenna housing 110 facing the outside of the control ball. That is to say, the mounting part 111 is an outwardly protruding structure on the outer surface of the antenna housing 110. Compared to the control ball with a recessed structure described above, the handle 200 of the control ball in this embodiment can be assembled into the assembly cavity 1111 of the antenna housing 110 through the assembly part 210, so as to fix the handle 200 in the antenna housing 110 and the control ball. This avoids the handle 200 occupying the internal space of the control ball's core housing and affecting the volume of the core housing, ensuring that the core housing meets the industrial design size requirements. Since the mounting part 111 is located on the side of the antenna housing 110 facing the outside of the control ball, the handle 200 will not affect the original assembly space on the antenna housing 110, so as to avoid the assembly of the handle 200 affecting the assembly of the components inside the antenna housing 110.

[0056] For example, the through hole 1112 may include, but is not limited to, being provided on the top wall 1113 of the mounting portion 111. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the through hole 1112 may also be provided on the side wall of the mounting portion 111. In this embodiment, the through hole 1112 is provided on the top wall 1113 of the mounting portion 111, which not only allows the user to hold the control ball on the handle 200 and carry it with them, but also makes the assembly and disassembly of the handle 200 more convenient.

[0057] The structure of the control ball in this embodiment will be further explained below, taking the example of the through hole 1112 being provided on the top wall 1113 of the mounting part 111.

[0058] To improve the assembly strength of the handle 200 within the antenna housing 110, the handle 200 can be made of metal. For example, the metal part can be, but is not limited to, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, or other metal structures with high strength. This ensures the assembly strength of the handle 200 within the antenna housing 110 while minimizing the structural dimensions of the assembly section 210.

[0059] Since the handle 200 is only assembled into the assembly cavity 1111 of the antenna housing 110 via the assembly part 210, the space occupied by the handle 200 in the assembly cavity 1111 within the antenna housing 110 can be minimized. This allows the handle 200 to be assembled within the small assembly cavity 1111 within the antenna housing 110, while also reducing the structural dimensions of the mounting part 111, thus ensuring that the antenna housing 110 meets the industrial design size requirements.

[0060] To secure the assembly part 210 within the assembly cavity 1111, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the assembly cavity 1111 has a support platform 1114, and the assembly part 210 is disposed on the support surface of the support platform 1114. The elastic member 300 is located on the side of the support platform 1114. For example, the support platform 1114 may include, but is not limited to, a step within the assembly cavity 1111. Correspondingly, the assembly part 210 may be disposed on the step surface, and the elastic member 300 may be located on the side of the step. In this way, the support platform 1114 can support the assembly part 210 so that when the elastic member 300 abuts against the second assembly surface 212, the assembly part 210 can be fixed on the support platform 1114, thereby locking the handle 200 in the locked position and fixing the handle 200 within the antenna housing 110.

[0061] from Figure 6As can be seen, when the handle 200 is in the locked position, the housing assembly 100 has a blocking portion 1115 around the through hole 1112. The blocking portion 1115 is positioned above the mounting portion 210, and the mounting portion 210 abuts against the side wall of the mounting cavity 1111. The blocking portion 1115 can be located on the top wall 1113 of the mounting portion 111 in the antenna housing 110. The blocking portion 1115 is distributed around the through hole 1112, and the side wall of the blocking portion 1115 forms at least a portion of the hole wall of the through hole 1112. Thus, when the handle 200 is in the locked position, both the elastic element 300 and the side wall of the mounting cavity 1111 abut against the mounting portion 210. The elastic element 300 and the side wall of the mounting cavity 1111 can limit the mounting portion 210 in the first direction, making it difficult for the mounting portion 210 and the handle 200 to continue rotating, allowing the user to determine whether the handle 200 is in the locked position. The first direction can be understood as Figure 6 The X direction in the equation.

[0062] Meanwhile, when the user lifts the handle 200, the blocking part 1115 is positioned above the assembly part 210, thus limiting the assembly part 210 in the second direction to prevent it from moving relative to the support platform 1114 and disengaging from the through hole 1112. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and can be understood as... Figure 6 In the Y direction. In this way, through the combined action of the elastic element 300 and the housing assembly 100, the assembly part 210 can be locked in the assembly cavity 1111, thereby realizing the assembly and fixation of the handle 200 in the antenna housing 110.

[0063] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the handle 200 may further include a connecting portion 220 and a handle portion 230. The handle portion 230 is located outside the housing assembly 100, such as the antenna housing 110, for easy gripping by the user. The connecting portion 220 passes through the through hole 1112 and is vertically connected between the handle portion 230 and the mounting portion 210. This allows the user to grip the handle portion 230 and rotate it. Driven by the handle portion 230 and the connecting portion 220, the mounting portion 210 can rotate synchronously within the mounting cavity 1111, thereby enabling quick disassembly and installation of the handle 200 on the antenna housing 110.

[0064] The handle 230 may be, but is not limited to, a long strip structure, and the connecting part 220 may be, but is not limited to, a columnar structure. This not only facilitates the user's grip and rotation, but also allows the user to better identify the rotational position of the assembly part 210 within the assembly cavity 1111, so as to quickly determine whether the handle 200 is in the open or locked position.

[0065] from Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the distance L1 between the first mounting surface 211 and the center of the mounting part 210 is less than the distance L2 between the second mounting surface 212 and the center of the mounting part 210. The center of the mounting part 210 can be understood as its geometric center. Thus, during the rotation of the mounting part 210 from the open position to the locked position, the first mounting surface 211 rotates relative to the elastic member 300, and the second mounting surface 212 rotates towards the side of the elastic member 300. During this rotation, because the distance L2 between the second mounting surface 212 and the center of the mounting part 210 is greater than the distance L1 between the first mounting surface 211 and the center of the mounting part 210, the mounting part 210 will continuously push the elastic member 300, causing the elastic member 300 to deform towards the side away from the mounting part 210, until the second mounting surface 212 is positioned opposite the elastic member 300 and abuts against it.

[0066] After the second mounting surface 212 abuts against the elastic element 300, under the action of the elastic force, the elastic element 300 will apply a pushing force F to the mounting part 210. Under the action of the pushing force F, the mounting part 210 abuts against the side wall of the mounting cavity 1111. The mounting part 210 is limited by the housing assembly 100 and the elastic element 300, so that the mounting part 210 and the handle 200 are not easy to continue to rotate, so that the user can judge whether the handle 200 is in the locked position. When the user stops rotating the handle 200, the handle 200 is fixed in the locked position of the mounting cavity 1111, and the installation of the handle 200 is completed.

[0067] It should be noted that the larger the ratio of L2 to L1, the more stable the assembly of the handle 200 within the housing assembly 100. However, the stroke of the elastic element 300 during the rotation of the handle 200 is also relatively larger, requiring a larger space in the assembly cavity 1111. Therefore, in the design of the structural dimensions of the assembly part 210, the ratio of L2 to L1 can be limited to a certain range by considering the stability of the assembly of the handle 200 within the housing assembly 100, the stroke of the elastic element 300, and the structure of the assembly cavity 1111. In this embodiment, the ratio of L2 to L1 is not further limited.

[0068] refer to Figure 5As shown, when the handle 200 is in the open position, the elastic element 300 contacts the first mounting surface 211. This allows the mounting part 210 to rotate from the open position to the locked position, pushing the elastic element 300 to deform towards the side opposite to the mounting part 210. Both the first mounting surface 211 and the second mounting surface 212 are planar. This increases the contact area between the first and second mounting surfaces 211 and the elastic element 300, making the contact between the elastic element 300 and the first and second mounting surfaces 211 and 212 more stable. This enhances the stability of the handle 200 within the housing assembly 100 and improves the safety of the control ball during user carrying.

[0069] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the handle 200 is in the open position, there may also be a gap between the elastic element 300 and the first mounting surface 211.

[0070] The structure of the control ball in this embodiment will be further explained below, taking the case where the handle 200 is in the open position and the elastic element 300 is in contact with the first assembly surface 211 as an example.

[0071] Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the structure of a handle.

[0072] refer to Figure 7 As shown, the surface of the assembly part 210 has a chamfer 213, which is located between the first assembly surface 211 and the second assembly surface 212. For example, the chamfer 213 may include, but is not limited to, a rounded corner. Thus, during the rotation of the assembly part 210 from the open position to the locked position, the elastic member 300 will move towards one side of the assembly part 210 at the chamfer 213 (i.e., rebound), providing a distinct locking feel at the chamfer 213 during the rotation of the handle 200. This locking feel is transmitted to the user for feedback, allowing the user to better judge the rotation of the assembly part 210 within the assembly cavity 1111.

[0073] For example, the assembly part 210 may be, but is not limited to, a cuboid, a sphere with a first assembly surface 211 and a second assembly surface 212, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the assembly part 210 adopts a cuboid structure to further enhance the stability of the handle 200 assembled within the housing assembly 100.

[0074] The structure of the control ball in this embodiment will be further explained below, taking the assembly part 210 as a cuboid as an example.

[0075] refer to Figure 7As shown, the first assembly surface 211 and the second assembly surface 212 are two mutually perpendicular sides of a cuboid to reduce the rotation angle when assembling and disassembling the handle 200. This allows the user to quickly assemble and disassemble the handle 200 by simply rotating it 90 degrees. Specifically, the side of the cuboid parallel to its length direction constitutes the first assembly surface 211, and the side of the cuboid parallel to its width direction constitutes the second assembly surface 212.

[0076] The first mounting surface 211 and the second mounting surface 212 are parallel to the axis of the connecting part 220, so that the first mounting surface 211 and the second mounting surface 212 can be located in the rotation direction of the mounting part 210 and abut against the elastic member 300, thereby realizing the assembly and fixation of the handle 200 in the housing assembly 100.

[0077] Correspondingly, the through hole 1112 may include, but is not limited to, a rectangular hole adapted to the cuboid structure, so that the assembly part 210 passes through the through hole 1112 and is disposed in the assembly cavity 1111, so as to realize the assembly and fixation of the handle 200 in the housing assembly 100.

[0078] It should be noted that when the structure of the assembly part 210 is changed, the shape of the through hole 1112 should also be changed in order to facilitate the assembly part 210 to pass through the through hole 1112 and be installed in the assembly cavity 1111.

[0079] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an elastic element is shown.

[0080] refer to Figure 8 As shown, the elastic member 300 may include a first fixing part 310, a cantilever part 320, and a second fixing part 330. The first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 are connected to the mounting part 111. The cantilever part 320 is connected between the first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 and is disposed opposite to the assembly part 210. The first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 can be connected to the mounting part 111 by fasteners. The elastic member 300 is disposed on the side of the support platform 1114 so that the cantilever part 320 is disposed opposite to and abuts against the assembly part 210, thereby locking the assembly part 210 in the assembly cavity 1111 by the cantilever part 320.

[0081] Figure 9 This diagram illustrates the assembly of an elastic component in a control ball.

[0082] For easier fastener installation, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 may be provided with mounting holes 340, and fasteners can pass through the mounting holes 340 to connect with the mounting part 111, thereby fixing the elastic member 300 in the mounting part 111. For example, the fasteners may include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, etc., and the first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 may include, but are not limited to, connecting blocks.

[0083] The first fixing part 310 and the second fixing part 330 can be located on opposite sides of the assembly part 210. In order to facilitate the cantilever part 320 to abut against the assembly part 210, the end 321 of the cantilever part 320 can be bent toward one side of the assembly part 210 to shorten the distance between the end 321 of the cantilever part 320 and the assembly part 210, so as to facilitate the abutment of the cantilever part 320 with the assembly part 210.

[0084] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the elastic element 300 may also adopt other structures, such as being disposed in a fixed part. In this embodiment, the structure of the elastic element 300 is not further limited.

[0085] For ease of assembly of elastic element 300, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the mounting portion 111 has a mounting groove 1116 on the side opposite to the elastic member 300, which is adapted to the structure of the elastic member 300. The mounting groove 1116 can be located on the side of the mounting portion 111 facing the movement housing. This allows the elastic member 300 to be disposed within the mounting groove 1116, enabling quick assembly of the elastic member 300 while preventing it from being exposed on the outer surface of the control ball, thus enhancing the aesthetics of the control ball.

[0086] The control ball provided in this embodiment of the invention, through the setting of handle 200 and elastic element 300, not only makes it easy for users to carry, but also enables quick assembly and disassembly of handle 200.
