[0042] Reference Figure 1-Figure 11 The present invention provides a push-lock and unlock device 100, which can be applied to electronic devices and enables the electronic devices to have a position switching function. Specifically, the electronic device can be a game controller or the like.

[0043] Specifically, the push locking and unlocking device 100 provided by the present invention includes a rotor cover 10, a first rotor 20, a second rotor 30, a first elastic member 40 and a second elastic member 50; the rotor cover 10 is axially provided with a first locking position 11, a second locking position 12 and a sliding groove 13 connected to the first locking position 11 and the second locking position 12; the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 are both arranged in the rotor cover 10, and the second rotor 30 is inserted into the sliding groove 13 through the limiting column 33 on its outer periphery, and the opposite sides of the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 are provided with a matching portion; one end of the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 is connected to the rotor cover 10, and the other end is connected to the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 respectively, wherein the first rotor 20 can drive the second rotor 30 to rotate through the matching portion under the action of pressing, and the rotation of the second rotor 30 drives the limiting column 33 to switch between the first locking position 11 and the second locking position 12.

[0044] Specifically, the rotor cover 10 is a shell structure, and a central cavity with a circular cross section is provided inside the rotor cover 10, and a first locking position 11 and a second locking position 12 are provided on the side wall thereof along the axial direction thereof, and a sliding groove 13 connected between the first locking position 11 and the second locking position 12, and the first locking position 11, the second locking position 12 and the sliding groove 13 are all connected to the central cavity. The first locking position 11 is close to the pressing position, and the second locking position 12 is far from the pressing position.

[0045] The first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 are both arranged in the central cavity of the rotor cover 10, wherein the first rotor 20 can only move along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10, and the second rotor 30 is inserted into the sliding groove 13 through the limiting column 33 provided on its outer periphery, so that the moving trajectory of the second rotor 30 can be limited by the limiting groove, so that the second rotor 30 can not only move along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10, but also move along the radial direction of the rotor cover 10.

[0046] Matching portions are provided on opposite sides of the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 .

[0047] The first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 are both arranged in the rotor cover 10, and one end of the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 are connected to the rotor cover 10, the other end of the first elastic member 40 is connected to the first rotor 20, and one end of the second elastic member 50 is connected to the rotor cover 10 of the second rotor 30, and the elastic force directions of the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 are the same, and the second rotor 30 points to the first rotor 20.

[0048] In the initial state, the limiting column 33 is located at the first locking position 11. At this time, the first rotor 20 is pressed, and the first rotor 20 moves along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10 toward the second rotor 30. During the movement, the second rotor 30 can be driven to slide along the sliding groove 13 by the matching part until it slides to the bottom of the sliding groove 13, and then slides along the sliding groove 13 to the second locking position 12 under the action of the second elastic member 50 to complete the locking. The first rotor 20 is restored to the initial position under the action of the first elastic member 40. In this process, the activity trajectory of the limiting column 33 is as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.

[0049] In the locked state, the first rotor 20 is pressed again to apply a force to the second rotor 30 through the first rotor 20, and the second rotor 30 drives the limiting column 33 to slide to the bottom of the sliding groove 13. The pressing is cancelled, and the second rotor 30 slides to the first locking position 11 under the action of the second elastic member 50, and the first rotor 20 returns to the initial position under the action of the first elastic member 40. In this process, the activity trajectory of the limiting column 33 is as shown in FIG. Fig.11 shown.

[0050] The present invention provides a rotor cover 10, a first rotor 20, a second rotor 30, a first elastomer, and a second elastomer, so that the axial movement of the product can be locked and unlocked only by pressing. The structure is simple and can be very small to save space. It is also simple to operate, low in cost, and reliable, and can be widely used in products with axial locking and unlocking.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, it also includes an upper cover 60 and a base 70, wherein the upper cover 60 is slidably connected to one end of the rotor cover 10 corresponding to the first rotor 20, and the upper cover 60 is provided with a pressing portion 62, and the upper cover 60 can press the first rotor 20 through the pressing portion 62; the base 70 is connected to one end of the rotor cover 10 corresponding to the second rotor 30, and is respectively connected to the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50.

[0052] Specifically, the upper cover 60 is formed as a pressing portion 62, which is mounted on one end of the rotor cover 10 corresponding to the first rotor 20 and can slide along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10. During the sliding process, the pressing force can be applied to the first rotor 20 by the pressing portion 62. The base 70 is provided at the other end of the rotor cover 10 opposite to the upper cover 60, and is used to block the open end of the rotor cover 10.

The first locking grooves 61, the second locking grooves 62 and the locking portions 14 at the corresponding positions cooperate, so as to realize the clamping connection between the upper cover 60, the base 70 and the rotor cover 10. And along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10, the length of the second locking groove 62 is greater than the length of the locking portion 14, and the locking portion 14 can slide in the second locking groove 62, so as to realize the sliding of the upper cover 60 and the rotor cover 10.

[0055] Furthermore, the locking portion 14 is also provided with an angled guide surface arranged along the axial direction of the rotor shaft, so that the upper cover 60 and the base 70 can be guided by the guide surface to facilitate installation.

[0056] In other embodiments, the number of the locking portions 14 at each end of the rotor cover 10 may also be 3, 4 or 5, and the 3, 4 or 5 locking portions 14 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotor cover 10 .

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the rotor cover 10 is formed as a cylindrical tube with one end sealed, and a hollow hole 15 is provided at the sealed end of the rotor cover 10 . The pressing portion 62 passes through the hollow hole 15 to fit and press the first rotor 20 .

[0058] Specifically, the rotor cover 10 is a cylindrical tube, one end of which is sealed and the other end is open, wherein the base 70 is connected to the open end of the rotor cover 10 and is used to cooperate with the rotor cover 10 to form a complete central cavity, the upper cover 60 is connected to the sealed end of the rotor cover 10, and in order to achieve the connection between the upper cover 60 and the first rotor 20, the sealed end of the rotor cover 10 is provided with a hollow hole 15 suitable for the pressing part 62 to pass through.

[0059] Specifically, the number of the hollow holes 15 is one or more. In this embodiment, the number of the hollow holes 15 is two.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 are both springs, and the second elastic member 50 is sleeved on the outside of the first elastic member 40 .

[0061] Specifically, the spring is not only elastic and can provide elastic force for the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 , but also has a relatively stable structure, thereby improving the reliability of the push-locking and unlocking device 100 .

[0062] In this embodiment, one end of the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 are connected to the base 70, and the other end is connected to the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 respectively. At this time, the first elastic member 40 and the second elastic member 50 are compression springs, which can provide an elastic force for the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 toward the upper cover 60.

[0063] In other embodiments, the first elastic member 40 and / or the second elastic member 50 are connected to the upper cover 60. Correspondingly, the first elastic member 40 and / or the second elastic member 50 connected to the upper cover 60 are tension springs, which can provide an elastic force toward the upper cover 60 for the first rotor 20 and / or the second rotor 30.

[0064] For easy installation, the second elastic member 50 is sleeved on the outer side of the first elastic member 40 .

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the matching portion includes a first inclined surface 22 provided on the first rotor 20 and a second inclined surface 32 provided on the second rotor 30 , and the first inclined surface 22 and the second inclined surface 32 are slidably matched.

[0066] Specifically, the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30 are slidably matched through the first inclined surface 22 and the second inclined surface 32, so that when a pressing force is applied to the first rotor 20, it moves toward the second rotor 30 along the axial direction of the rotor cover 10, and applies pressing and rotating forces to the second inclined surface 32 of the second rotor 30 through the first inclined surface 22, wherein the pressing force drives the second rotor 30 to rotate toward the side of the base 70, and the rotating force drives the second rotor 30 to rotate, thereby enabling the second rotor 30 to switch between the first locking position 11 and the second locking position 12 along the sliding groove 13.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, two first wedge blocks 21 are provided around the first rotor 20 , each of which is provided with a first inclined surface 22 . Two second wedge blocks 31 are provided around the second rotor 30 , each of which is provided with a second inclined surface 32 .

[0068] Specifically, by arranging the first wedge block 21 in the circumferential direction of the first rotor 20 and the second wedge block 31 in the axial direction of the second rotor 30, the first inclined surface 22 and the second inclined surface 32 are formed, thereby realizing the driving between the first rotor 20 and the second rotor 30. The above structure is simple and easy to realize, which is conducive to improving processing efficiency.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the sliding groove 13 includes a first inclined groove connected to the first locking position 11 and a second inclined groove connected to the second locking position 12 , and the first inclined groove is connected to the end of the second inclined groove.

[0070] Specifically, the first inclined groove and the second inclined groove are connected in a U shape.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, a protrusion 16 is formed in the middle of the second inclined groove, and the protrusion 16 is suitable for dividing the second inclined groove into two sections.

[0072] Specifically, when the limiting post 33 switches from the first locking position 11 to the second locking position, it is limited by the protrusion 16 and directly enters the second inclined groove connected to the second locking position 12. On the contrary, when switching from the second locking position 12 to the first locking position 11, the limiting post 33 breaks through the protrusion 16 and moves to the end of the second inclined groove away from the second locking position 12, and then moves from there to the first locking position 11.

[0073] In this embodiment, the protrusion 16 is provided to limit the moving track of the limiting column 33, thereby improving the control of the limiting column 33 and improving the switching accuracy.

[0074] The second aspect of the present invention further provides an electronic device, comprising any one of the above-mentioned push locking and unlocking devices 100. The structure of the push locking and unlocking device 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the electronic device in the present application has the above-mentioned push locking and unlocking device 100, the electronic device at least has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned push locking and unlocking device 100, which will not be described one by one here.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
