[0032] The invention discloses a rocker device with adjustable damping and an electronic device, which are used to solve the technical problem that the damping of the existing rocker device is not adjustable and cannot meet the preferences of different users for the damping size.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 5 , a rocker device with adjustable damping provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises a housing 1, a rocker 2, an adjustment rod 4 and an elastic body 5;

[0035] The housing 1 is provided with a mounting hole, the rocker 2 is movably assembled on the housing 1 and the bottom end of the rocker 2 extends into the housing 1;

[0036] The elastic body 5 is assembled in the housing 1, and the elastic body 5 has a central portion 501 abutting against the bottom end of the rocker 2 and an adjusting portion 502 extending outward from the central portion 501. The housing 1 is provided with an adjusting hole 3 at a position corresponding to the adjusting portion 502. The adjusting rod 4 is inserted into the adjusting hole 3 and can be driven to press the adjusting portion 502.

[0037] When the adjusting portion 502 is pressed by the adjusting rod 4 , the central portion 501 bounces upward to press the bottom end of the rocker 2 , thereby adjusting the damping of the rocker 2 .

[0038] It should be noted that the elastic body 5 in this embodiment can be made of elastic materials, such as silicone or rubber, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0039] In the above design, when the user needs to adjust the damping of the rocker device, the user can insert the adjustment rod 4 into the adjustment hole 3 to press the adjustment part 502, so that the center part 501 bounces upward to squeeze the bottom end of the rocker 2, thereby adjusting the damping of the rocker 2. In the above design, the user can select the pressure of the adjustment rod 4 on the adjustment part 502 according to their own needs. When the user needs greater damping, the user can insert the adjustment rod 4 into a deeper position of the adjustment hole 3, thereby increasing the pressure of the adjustment rod 4 on the adjustment part 502, thereby increasing the amplitude of the center part 501 bouncing up, increasing the squeezing force of the center part 501 on the bottom end of the rocker 2, and thus increasing the damping of the rocker 2. When the user needs less damping, the user can insert the adjustment rod 4 into a shallower position of the adjustment hole 3, thereby reducing the pressure of the adjustment rod 4 on the adjustment part 502, thereby reducing the amplitude of the center part 501 bouncing up, reducing the squeezing force of the center part 501 on the bottom end of the rocker 2, and thus reducing the damping of the rocker 2. In addition, it can be simply understood that when the user does not insert the adjustment rod 4, the central portion 501 generates the minimum squeezing force on the bottom end of the rocker 2. At this time, the damping of the rocker 2 is the minimum.

[0040] Through the above design, the user can select the pressing force of the adjusting rod 4 on the adjusting portion 502 according to their own needs, so as to obtain damping of different sizes, effectively solving the technical problem that the current rocker device cannot adjust the damping.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are multiple adjustment parts 502, and the multiple adjustment parts 502 extend outward from the central part 501. The shell 1 is provided with adjustment holes 3 with the same number as the adjustment parts 502. Each of the adjustment holes 3 corresponds to each of the adjustment parts 502 one by one, and the adjustment rod 4 is inserted in each of the adjustment holes 3.

[0042] Among them, in some specific embodiments, the number of adjustment parts 502 can be 4, 5, 6, 8, etc., the number of adjustment holes 3 can be 4, 5, 6, 8, etc., the number of adjustment rods 4 can be 4, 5, 6, 8, etc., and the number of the above adjustment parts 502, adjustment rods 4 and adjustment holes 3 are all the same.

[0043] It should be noted that, through the above design, when the user inserts more number of adjustment rods 4 to press against multiple adjustment parts 502 at the same time, the center part 501 can be made to bounce upward with a greater amplitude, thereby enhancing the damping of the rocker 2. For example, the number of adjustment parts 502 is 4, and when all 4 adjustment rods 4 are inserted into the deepest position of the adjustment hole 3 to press against the adjustment parts 502 respectively, the damping of the rocker 2 is the largest at this time, and when the user does not insert the adjustment rod 4 into the adjustment hole 3, the damping of the rocker 2 is the smallest at this time.

[0044] In addition, it can be simply understood that in this embodiment, the damping of the rocker 2 can be adjusted in multiple levels by controlling the number of adjustment rods 4 inserted into the adjustment hole 3 and the insertion depth of the adjustment rods 4. The user can choose to insert different numbers of adjustment rods 4 and the insertion depth of the adjustment rods 4 according to his or her preference for damping, so as to obtain the preferred damping.

[0045] Furthermore, a positioning groove 6 for positioning the elastic body 5 is provided inside the housing 1 in this embodiment;

[0046] The elastic body 5 further includes an extension portion 503, and the central portion 501 is connected to the adjustment portion 502 via the extension portion 503;

[0047] The central portion 501 is located in the positioning groove 6 and is suspended. The top side groove wall of the positioning groove 6 is recessed downward to form a supporting groove 601. The extension portion 503 abuts against the supporting groove 601. The adjustment portion 502 is suspended below the adjustment hole 3.

[0048] It should be noted that in the above design, the elastic body 5 can form a lever structure, that is, when the adjustment part 502 is compressed, the center part 501 bounces upward; when the center part 501 is compressed, the adjustment part 502 bounces upward, and the position where the extension part 503 contacts the support groove 601 is the fulcrum of the elastic body 5.

[0049] Through the above design, when the adjusting rod 4 presses the adjusting portion 502 , the central portion 501 bounces upward to squeeze the bottom end of the rocker 2 , thereby changing the damping of the rocker 2 .

[0050] Furthermore, the central portion 501 , the extending portion 503 and the adjusting portion 502 in this embodiment are an integrally connected structure.

[0051] It should be noted that, through the above design, the stability of the elastic body 5 during the elastic deformation process is ensured.

[0052] Furthermore, the adjustment hole 3 in this embodiment is a threaded hole, and the adjustment rod 4 is a screw rod;

[0053] The adjusting rod 4 is threadedly connected in the adjusting hole 3 , and when the adjusting rod 4 is driven to rotate, the adjusting rod 4 moves downward along the adjusting hole 3 to press against the adjusting portion 502 , so that the central portion 501 presses the bottom end of the rocker 2 .

[0054] It should be noted that by detachably assembling the adjustment rod 4 into the adjustment hole 3 in a threaded connection manner, it is more convenient for the user to adjust the damping.

[0055] Furthermore, the central portion 501 is a groove structure that is recessed downward.

[0056] It should be noted that, through the above design, the groove structure can cover the bottom end of the rocker 2 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the rocker 2 from being separated from the central portion 501 during the rocking process, thereby causing the damping to be unable to be adjusted.

[0057] Furthermore, the rod body of the rocker 2 in this embodiment is also provided with a plurality of movable parts 7 that move synchronously with the rocker 2, and a potentiometer 8 is installed at a position of the housing 1 corresponding to the movable parts 7;

[0058] The movable member 7 is connected to the potentiometer 8 .

[0059] It should be noted that, through the above design, since the movable part 7 can move synchronously with the joystick 2, the potentiometer 8 can output different electrical signals to the game console or computer according to the rotation angle of the movable part 7 to achieve a control effect.

[0060] Furthermore, a control circuit board is installed in the housing 1 in this embodiment, and the potentiometer 8 is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0061] It should be noted that, through the above design, the control chip on the control circuit board can receive and organize the electrical signal of the above potentiometer 8, and send the organized electrical signal to the game console or computer via the communication module on the control circuit board, thereby realizing the control effect of the joystick device.

[0062] Furthermore, the top end of the joystick 2 in this embodiment extends out of the shell 1 and is wrapped with a soft rubber layer.

[0063] It should be noted that the top end of the joystick 2 in this embodiment is specifically the part for users to operate, and therefore, coating the top end of the joystick 2 with a soft rubber layer can increase the comfort of user operation.

[0064] Specifically, the soft rubber layer can be made of silicone or rubber material.
