[0058] See also Figures 1 to 5The present invention proposes a force adjustable rocker mechanism 100, comprising a seat body 10, an adjusting cover 20, an inner cover 30, an adjusting platform 40, a rocker assembly 50 and a reset spring 60, wherein the adjusting cover 20 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the seat body 10, the adjusting cover 20 and the seat body 10 are covered to form a mounting cavity 101, the inner peripheral wall of the adjusting cover 20 is provided with a lifting groove 21, the lifting groove 21 is spirally extended around the axis of the adjusting cover 20, and the top surface of the adjusting cover 20 is provided with a first avoidance opening 22; the inner cover 30 is installed in the mounting cavity 101, the inner cover 30 and the seat body 10 are covered to form an inner cavity 102, the peripheral wall of the inner cover 30 is provided with a first sliding hole 31 connecting the mounting cavity 101 and the inner cavity 102, the first sliding hole is extended along the axial direction of the inner cover 30, and the inner cover 30 The top surface is also provided with a second avoidance opening 32; the adjustment platform 40 includes an inner platform 41, an outer platform 42 and a connecting portion 43 connected between the inner platform 41 and the outer platform 42, the outer periphery of the outer platform 42 is provided with a guide portion 45, the guide portion 45 is slidably assembled in the lifting groove 21, and a second sliding hole 44 is formed between the inner platform 41, the outer platform 42 and the connecting portion 43, the second sliding hole 44 is slidably matched with the inner cover 30, the connecting portion 43 is slidably matched with the first sliding hole 31, and the inner platform 41 is located in the inner cavity 102; the bottom end of the rocker assembly 50 is installed in the inner cavity 102, and the top end of the rocker assembly 50 passes through the second avoidance opening 32 and extends out of the first avoidance opening 22; the return spring 60 is installed between the inner platform 41 and the rocker assembly 50 under pressure, and the return spring 60 is used to reset the rocker assembly 50.

[0059] Through the above scheme, when the user feels uncomfortable with the damping of the rocker 51 when operating the rocker 51, the damping of the rocker 51 can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment cover 20. Specifically, when the user rotates the adjustment cover 20, the adjustment cover 20 rotates relative to the adjustment platform 40, and the adjustment platform 40 moves along the axial direction of the adjustment cover 20 under the top action of the groove wall of the lifting groove 21, thereby tightening or loosening the reset spring 60. When the reset spring 60 is tightened, the pressure of the rocker assembly 50 on the reset spring 60 is relatively large, and the rocker assembly 50 is not easy to move. At this time, the user needs a larger force to swing the rocker 51. Conversely, when the reset spring 60 is relaxed, the user only needs a smaller force.

[0060] The seat body 10 and the adjusting cover 20 can be arranged at intervals, and the seat body 10 can also be used to assist in limiting the adjusting cover 20. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving groove 11 is provided on the top surface of the seat body 10, and the adjusting cover 20 is rotatably assembled in the receiving groove 11. In this way, on the one hand, the structure is more compact, and on the other hand, the groove wall of the receiving groove 11 can limit the movement and deformation of the adjusting cover 20, so as to keep the adjusting cover 20 and the adjusting platform 40 in stable cooperation.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the adjusting screw cap 20 is provided with anti-slip grooves 26 to facilitate the user to screw.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner cover 30 is provided with a hook 33, and the base is provided with an assembly hole, and the hook 33 is engaged in the assembly hole, which is convenient for assembly and has good stability. Fig.17 and Fig.18 In other embodiments of the present invention, convex ribs 34 are provided on opposite sides of the inner cover 30, and threaded holes are opened at the bottom ends of the convex ribs 34. The screws pass through the through holes 118 on the base body 10 and are screwed into the threaded holes. Two recesses 421 are formed on the inner periphery of the outer platform 42 to avoid the two convex ribs 34 and improve the compactness of the structure.

[0063] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the side wall of the storage groove 11 is provided with a plurality of positioning ribs 111, and the plurality of positioning ribs 111 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the adjusting cover 20, and the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting cover 20 is provided with an adjusting rib 23, and the adjusting rib 23 is adjustably engaged between two adjacent positioning ribs 111. Through the cooperation between the adjusting rib 23 and the positioning rib 111, the user can accurately adjust the required damping, avoid the change of damping caused by the gradual rotation of the adjusting cover 20 during the use of the rocker mechanism, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, a stopper protrusion is provided on the wall of the storage groove 11, and a clamping protrusion 27 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting screw cover 20. The stopper protrusion abuts against the clamping protrusion 27 to limit the circumferential rotation of the adjusting screw cover 20. In this way, when the user screws the adjusting screw cover 20 to the limit position, there is obvious resistance feedback, which provides a better user experience. At the same time, it can prevent the adjusting screw cover 20 from being over-screwed to cause damage to the structure.

[0065] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting groove 21 is provided with multiple sections, and the multiple sections of the lifting groove 21 are arranged circumferentially around the adjusting cover 20, and multiple guide parts 45 are provided on the peripheral side of the adjusting platform 40 and cooperate with the multiple sections of the lifting groove 21 one by one. Here, the guide part 45 is generally set as a convex column, and the guide part 45 can also be set as a rotatable guide wheel, which is not limited here. Through the above scheme, the adjusting platform 40 is evenly stressed and has good stability, which can avoid the problem of adjustment setbacks caused by uneven force during the adjustment process. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the head and tail of the multiple sections of the lifting groove 21 are connected, so that the guide part 45 can slide to the lowest position of the next lifting groove 21 when sliding to the highest position of the lifting groove 21, so as to avoid excessive rotation of the adjusting knob and affect its matching structure with the adjusting platform 40.

[0066] See also Figures 9 to 14In some embodiments of the present invention, the guide portion 45 is a spiral rib surrounding the outer platform 42, and the lifting groove 21 extends spirally along the inner wall of the regulating rotary cover 20. There are many specific implementations of the guide portion 45 and the lifting groove 21, which are not listed here one by one.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom wall of the storage slot 11 is provided with an arc-shaped clamping hole 12, and the arc-shaped clamping hole 12 is extended along the circumference of the adjusting rotary cover 20; the adjusting rotary cover 20 is provided with a clamping arm 25 protruding from one side facing the base 10, and the clamping arm 25 is clamped in the arc-shaped clamping hole 12 and can slide along the extension direction of the arc-shaped clamping hole 12. In this way, when the adjusting knob is rotated, the clamping arm 25 rotates along the arc-shaped clamping hole 12, and the arc-shaped clamping hole 12 can limit the position of the clamping arm 25, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the adjusting knob, and the clamping arm 25 is clamped in the arc-shaped clamping hole 12, which can prevent the adjusting rotary cover 20 from falling out, further improving the structural stability.

[0068] There are various structures of the above-mentioned rocker assembly. In some embodiments of the present invention, the rocker assembly 50 includes a rocker, a transverse curved arm and a longitudinal curved arm. The transverse curved arm and the longitudinal curved arm are both provided with limiting holes. The transverse curved arm and the longitudinal curved arm are cross-arranged and are both rotatably connected to the inner cover 30. The rocker 51 passes through the limiting holes of the transverse curved arm and the longitudinal curved arm and exits from the second avoidance opening 32. One end of the return spring 60 is connected to the bottom end of the rocker so that the rocker has a tendency to deflect to the axial position of the return spring 60.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rocker assembly 50 includes a rocker 51, a rocker arm 52 and a slider 53; the opposite ends of the rocker arm 52 are rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 102, and the rocker arm 52 is provided with a long hole 521 extending axially; the rocker arm 51 is rotatably installed in the long hole 521, and can rotate in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rocker arm 52, one end of the rocker arm 51 passes through the second avoidance opening 32 and extends from the first avoidance opening 22, and the other end of the rocker arm 51 abuts against the slider 53; the end of the slider 53 facing away from the rocker arm 51 abuts against the reset spring 60, and the peripheral side of the slider 53 is slidably connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 102, and the slider 53 can slide in the direction close to and away from the avoidance opening.

[0070] Through the above scheme, only one rocker arm 52 is used to realize the rotation of the rocker 51 along the axis of the rocker arm 52 and in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rocker arm 52, which meets the user's usage needs and has a highly compact structure; and the rocker arm and the rocker arm 52 are reset by means of a sliding block against the rocker, and the reset spring 60 only deforms in the axial direction. In this way, after the user adjusts the damping, the damping change felt when shaking the rocker is more obvious.

[0071] There are many specific implementations of the inner platform 41 and the slider 53. In some embodiments of the present invention, a main slide groove 46 is provided on one side of the inner platform 41 facing the reset spring 60, and the bottom wall of the main slide groove 46 abuts against the reset spring 60; a circumferential limit slide groove 461 is recessed on the peripheral wall of the main slide groove 46, and a sliding rib 531 is provided on the peripheral side of the slider 53. The circumferential limit slide groove 461 extends along the axial direction of the adjustment rotary cover 20, and the sliding rib 531 is slidably assembled in the circumferential limit slide groove 461. This can improve the adjustment accuracy and stability.

[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first cutout 463 is provided on the groove wall of the circumferential limiting groove 461 close to the rocker arm 52, and a second cutout 533 is provided on the end of the sliding rib 531 close to the rocker arm 52. Both the first cutout 463 and the second cutout 533 are used to avoid the rocker arm 52, thereby improving the compactness of the structure while ensuring the maximum rotation angle of the rocker arm 52.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, an axial limiting slot 462 is recessed on the peripheral wall of the main slot 46, a limiting protrusion 532 is provided on the peripheral side of the slider 53, the axial limiting slot 462 extends along the axial direction of the adjusting rotary cover 20, the limiting protrusion 532 is assembled in the axial limiting slot 462, and the slot wall of the axial limiting slot 462 close to the rocker 51 limits the sliding of the limiting protrusion 532 along the axial direction of the adjusting rotary cover 20. Through this solution, the stability of the slider 53 can be further improved.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the force adjustable rocker mechanism 100 further includes a magnetic part 70 and a circuit board 80. The end surface of the rocker 51 close to the base 10 is provided with a mounting groove, and the magnetic part 70 is installed in the mounting groove; the circuit board 80 is installed on the bottom wall of the storage groove 11, and the circuit board 80 is provided with a Hall element 81, and the Hall element 81 is opposite to the magnetic part 70. When the rocker drives the magnetic part 70 to move, the Hall element 81 senses the change in the magnetic field, thereby generating an induction signal. Through this solution, the sensing accuracy is high and the response speed is fast, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting plate 112 and a limiting column group 113 are provided on the bottom wall of the storage groove 11, and the mounting plate 112 and the two limiting columns are respectively slidably matched with the corresponding second sliding holes 44; a semicircular notch 1121 is provided at the top of the mounting plate 112, and one end of the rocker arm 52 is rotatably matched with the semicircular notch 1121; the limiting column group 113 includes two limiting columns, and a clearance channel 115 is formed between the two limiting columns, and the clearance channel 115 is for the circuit board 80 to be arranged, and the end of the rocker arm 52 away from the semicircular notch 1121 is assembled between the two limiting columns.

[0076] Through the above scheme, during assembly, the various components of the rocker arm 52 assembly can be pre-installed on the inner platform 41, the rocker arm 52 can be pre-assembled in the semicircular notch 1121, and then the inner cover 30 can be closed to complete the assembly. The assembly is more convenient, and the inner cover 30 is snap-connected with the seat body 10 for good stability.

[0077] See also Fig.15 and 16 In some embodiments of the present invention, a stopper 522 is provided at one end of the rocker arm 52 away from the semicircular notch 1121, and the stopper 522 and the button 82 of the circuit board 80 are arranged between two limit posts, and the stopper 522 is used to press the button 82 on the circuit board 80. In this way, the rocker arm 52 will not be affected by the input signal through pressing, nor will it be affected by the normal swing of the rocker arm.
