Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of controllers, and in particular, to a joystick controller with multi-degree-of-freedom control functions. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the fields of amusement equipment, industry, etc., the joystick controller is a very important component. It realizes the control of the movement direction and actions of the controlled object (such as game characters, mechanical equipment, etc.) through an operation mode of analog reproduction. Since the movement directions and action designs of existing amusement equipment and industrial robots are becoming more and more complex, higher requirements are put forward for the joystick controller. However, the traditional joystick controller usually has only one degree of freedom, that is, the joystick shakes relative to the base. Therefore, it can only output a single direction control signal according to the shaking direction of the joystick, and the function is relatively single, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of multiple functions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a joystick controller that can output multiple control signals. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the defects existing in the prior art, the task of the present invention is to provide a joystick controller with multi-degree-of-freedom control functions, which can output multiple control signals to realize multiple control functions for the controlled object.

[0004] The task of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A joystick controller with multi-degree-of-freedom control functions includes a base, a joystick, and a handle assembly. The joystick is inserted into the base and is movably connected through a matching ball head and ball head seat so that the joystick can shake relative to the base in different directions. Corresponding first induction components are provided on the base and the joystick so that when the joystick shakes relative to the base, a first induction signal can be triggered and generated. A first return spring is further provided between the joystick and the base so that the joystick can automatically return to the vertical state; the handle assembly includes a rotating frame that can rotate left and right around the axis of the joystick, a second return spring that can automatically return the rotating frame to the initial position, a handle shell that is rotatably sleeved outside the rotating frame and can swing back and forth around another axis perpendicular to the joystick, and a third return spring that can automatically return the handle shell to the initial position. Corresponding second induction components are provided on the joystick and the rotating frame so that when the rotating frame rotates left and right relative to the joystick, a second induction signal can be triggered and generated. Corresponding third induction components are provided on the rotating frame and the handle shell so that when the handle shell swings back and forth relative to the rotating frame, a third induction signal can be triggered and generated.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the first induction component includes a first magnet disposed at the lower end of the rocker and a first Hall induction circuit board disposed opposite thereto within the base. When the rocker shakes relative to the base, the relative positions of the first magnet and the first Hall induction circuit board change, causing the first Hall induction circuit board to generate the first induction signal.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the lower end of the rotating frame is rotatably sleeved on the rocker, and the upper end of the rocker extends into the rotating frame. The second induction component includes a second magnet disposed on the inner side wall of the rotating frame and a second Hall induction circuit board disposed opposite thereto on the side of the rocker. When the rotating frame rotates left and right relative to the rocker, the relative positions of the second magnet and the second Hall induction circuit board change, causing the second Hall induction circuit board to generate the second induction signal.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the upper end of the rotating frame is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft perpendicular to the rocker, and the inner side walls of the handle housing are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. Thus, the handle housing can drive the rotating frame to rotate left and right relative to the rocker, and can also drive the handle housing to swing back and forth relative to the rotating frame. The third induction component includes a third magnet disposed at the lower part of the rotating shaft and a third Hall induction circuit board disposed opposite thereto at the top of the upper end of the rocker. When the handle housing swings back and forth relative to the rotating frame, the relative positions of the third magnet and the third Hall induction circuit board change, causing the third Hall induction circuit board to generate the third induction signal.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the first return spring is a columnar spring sleeved outside the rocker. A spring seat is provided on the rocker. The two ends of the first return spring respectively abut against the spring seat and the base. When the rocker shakes relative to the base, the first return spring can be bent, so that the first return spring's reset elasticity can be used to drive the rocker to automatically reset, and when reset, the first magnet faces the first Hall induction circuit board.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the second return spring is a torsion spring sleeved outside the rocker. The torsion spring is connected to the rotating frame. When the rotating frame rotates left and right relative to the rocker, the torsion spring can be twisted, so that the torsion spring's reset elasticity can be used to drive the rotating frame to automatically reset, and when reset, the second magnet faces the second Hall induction circuit board.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the third return spring includes two tension springs respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the rocker. The tension springs are located at the lower part inside the handle housing, and both ends of each tension spring are connected to the inner side wall of the handle housing. When the handle housing swings back and forth relative to the rotating frame, the side of the tension spring can abut against the rocker, so that the return elasticity of the tension spring can be used to drive the handle housing to automatically return. When resetting, the third magnet is opposite to the third Hall induction circuit board. The third magnet is an arc-shaped magnet, and the axis of the arc-shaped magnet is parallel or coincident with the axis of the rotating shaft.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, an installation frame is provided at the upper end of the rocker. The second Hall induction circuit board and the third Hall induction circuit board are both connected to the installation frame. A main circuit board is fixedly arranged in the base, and the first Hall induction circuit board is connected to the main circuit board. The rocker is a hollow rod with a middle hole. The connecting wires of the second Hall induction circuit board and the third Hall induction circuit board pass through the middle hole of the rocker and are connected to the main circuit board.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a limiting structure capable of limiting the rotation angle range of the rotating frame is provided on the rotating frame and the rocker. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting pin arranged on the installation frame and a limiting groove arranged on the rotating frame. The limiting pin extends into the limiting groove and can move within the range of the limiting groove, so as to limit the rotation angle range of the rotating frame and the rocker.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, a detachable ball head cover is provided on the base at the ball head seat. Hemispherical grooves are respectively provided on the ball head cover and the base, and a perforation for the rocker to pass through is provided. The two hemispherical grooves cooperate to form a spherical cavity covering the ball head. Vertical grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the ball head, and two cylindrical pins are correspondingly arranged in the base and are respectively inserted into the two vertical grooves to limit the rocker from rotating relative to the base around its axis.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, a joystick controller with multi - degree - of - freedom control function provided by this patent has the following advantages: Users can drive the joystick to shake in different directions relative to the base, and then generate a first induction signal through the first induction component. They can also drive the handle shell to drive the rotating frame to rotate left and right relative to the joystick, and then generate a second induction signal through the second induction component. Additionally, they can drive the handle shell to swing back and forth relative to the rotating frame to generate a third induction signal. Among them, the first induction signal, the second induction signal, and the third induction signal can be respectively set to control the controlled object to achieve different actions. For example, the first induction signal can be set to control the controlled object to perform moving actions in different directions, the second induction signal can be set to control the controlled object to perform steering actions in different directions, and the third induction signal can be set to control the controlled object to perform pitching actions, so as to achieve multiple control functions for the controlled object.

In this embodiment, a magnet mounting seat 22 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the rocker 2. The diameter of the magnet mounting seat 22 is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the rocker 2. An embedding groove is provided at the lower end of the magnet mounting seat 22, and the first magnet 41 is fixedly installed in the embedding groove. The first Hall induction circuit board 42 is located directly below the first magnet 41, which is convenient for the diameter of the magnet to be larger than the diameter of the rocker 2, so that the first induction signal can be generated when the moving range of the first magnet 41 relative to the first Hall induction circuit board 42 is larger, and it is more sensitive.

[0026] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the lower end of the rotating frame 31 is rotatably sleeved on the rocker 2, and the upper end of the rocker 2 extends into the rotating frame 31. The second induction component 35 includes a second magnet 351 arranged on the inner side wall of the rotating frame 31 and a second Hall induction circuit board 352 arranged opposite thereto on the side of the rocker 2. When the rotating frame 31 rotates left and right relative to the rocker 2, the relative positions of the second magnet 351 and the second Hall induction circuit board 352 will change, so that the second Hall induction circuit board 352 generates the second induction signal.

When returning, the second magnet 351 is directly opposite to the second Hall induction circuit board 352.

[0030] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the third return spring 34 includes two tension springs 341 respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the rocker 2 and below the rotating frame. The tension springs 341 are located in the lower part of the handle housing 33, and both ends of each tension spring 341 are connected to the inner side wall of the handle housing 33. When the handle housing 33 swings back and forth relative to the rotating frame 31, the side of the tension spring 341 can abut against the rocker 2, so that the return elasticity of the tension spring 341 can be used to drive the handle housing 33 to automatically return. When resetting, the third magnet 361 is directly opposite to the third Hall induction circuit board 362.

[0031] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, an installation frame 24 is provided at the upper end of the rocker 2. The second Hall induction circuit board 352 and the third Hall induction circuit board 362 are both connected to the installation frame 24. A main circuit board 6 is fixedly provided in the base 1.

An outlet is provided above the lower part of the rocker 2 near the magnet mounting seat 22. The connection lines of the second Hall induction circuit board 352 and the third Hall induction circuit board 362 pass through the middle hole of the rocker 2 and are led out from the outlet and then connected to the main circuit board 6. A processing module for processing and analyzing the first induction signal, the second induction signal, and the third induction signal, and a wiring port for connecting to an external device are provided on the main circuit board 6.

[0033] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, a detachable ball head cover 12 is provided on the base 1 above the ball head seat 11. Hemispherical grooves are respectively provided on the ball head cover 12 and the base 1, and perforations for the rocker 2 to pass through are provided. The two hemispherical grooves cooperate to form a spherical cavity covering the outside of the ball head 21. Vertical grooves 211 are provided on opposite sides of the ball head 21. Two cylindrical pins 13 are correspondingly provided in the base 1 and are respectively inserted into the two vertical grooves 211 so as to limit the rocker 2 from rotating relative to the base 1 around its axis. In this solution, since the pins 13 are cylindrical and the diameter of the pins 13 is basically equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the vertical grooves 211, the rocker 2 can move in any direction without jamming, and it can be ensured that the rocker 2 cannot rotate relative to the base 1 around its axis, avoiding operation dead zones, improving the operation feel and sensitivity, and preventing winding problems. In addition, in this solution, by providing the ball head cover 12 with a hemispherical groove, a spherical groove is formed in cooperation with the hemispherical groove in the base 1, so as to facilitate the ball head 21 on the rocker 2 to shake at any angle therein, and at the same time, the rocker 2 can be restricted from moving up and down, further making it difficult to generate dead zones during the operation of the rocker 2 controller, and the operation feel and sensitivity are better.

Two cylindrical pins are correspondingly provided in the base and are respectively inserted into the two vertical grooves to limit the rocker from rotating around its axis relative to the base.
