Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a game controller, and particularly to a docking structure between a game controller and a host. Background Art

[0002] Currently, existing handheld game consoles generally include a host and a controller. The controller can be slidably inserted on both sides of the host. For example, a game console disclosed in an invention patent application with the Chinese patent publication number CN 114247129 A and the name "Game Console" includes a host provided with a female slide rail end; and a controller provided with a male slide rail end. The male slide rail end can be inserted into the female slide rail end in a pluggable manner along the extension direction of the female slide rail end, so that the controller is electrically connected to the host. This slide rail plug-in connection structure not only requires precise alignment before insertion at the beginning, but also has a long sliding stroke and large friction during the sliding process, resulting in a poor user experience. At the same time, the PIN pins for electrical connection are hidden inside the lower end of the male slide rail end of the controller, and the PIN pin sockets of the female slide rail end of the host are also hidden deep inside the lower end of the slide rail end. After using for a period of time, it is easy to get dirty and difficult to clean, resulting in problems such as poor contact. Therefore, developing a docking structure between a game controller and a host, enabling the controller and the host to be quickly connected, and eliminating the settings of hidden PIN pins and PIN pin sockets to avoid poor contact phenomena has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is to solve the above deficiencies and provides a docking structure between a game controller and a host.

[0004] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: A docking structure between a game controller and a host, including a host and a controller. At least one docking pin is provided inside the controller, and a card slot is provided on the docking pin. A docking through hole is provided on the docking end face of the host housing and the controller, and an active card plate device capable of being inserted into the card slot of the docking pin is provided inside the docking through hole.

[0005] Further, the active card plate device includes a card plate and a spring. A docking bayonet corresponding to the docking pin is provided on the card plate. The card plate is installed in a slide rail inside the host housing. A spring is provided between one end of the card plate and the host housing, and an unlocking button is provided at the other end of the card plate. Under normal conditions, the docking bayonet is misaligned with the docking through hole, and the misalignment distance is equal to the depth of the card slot on the docking pin.

[0006] Further, a PIN pin for transmitting signals or an infrared signal receiving end is provided on the docking end face of the host housing and the controller. Correspondingly, a PIN pin socket for transmitting signals or an infrared signal transmitting end is provided on the docking end face of the controller and the host housing.

[0007] Further, the front end of the docking pin is provided with a pin fillet or a pin chamfer having a guiding function.

[0008] Further, both ends of the docking bayonet on the clamping plate are provided with a bayonet fillet or a bayonet chamfer having a guiding function.

[0009] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: The present invention not only enables the quick connection and convenient operation of the handle and the host, avoids the plugging and unplugging of the long-stroke slide rail docking, but also avoids the problems of precise alignment and overcoming large frictional force during the plugging operation. Moreover, the setting of the hidden PIN pins and PIN pin sockets is eliminated, which is not easy to accumulate dust and is easy to clean, etc., avoiding the phenomenon of poor contact.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a docking structure of a game handle and a host includes a host 1 and two left and right handles 2. PIN pins 3 for transmitting signals are provided on the docking end faces of the housing of the host 1 and the two left and right handles 2. Correspondingly, PIN pin sockets 4 for transmitting signals are provided on the docking end faces of the handles 2 and the housing of the host 1.

[0021] At least one docking pin 5 (two docking pins in this embodiment) is provided inside the handle 2. The front end of the docking pin 5 is provided with a pin fillet 6 or a pin chamfer for guiding. A card slot 7 is provided on the docking pin 5. A docking through hole 8 is provided on the docking end face of the housing of the host 1 and the handle 2. An active clamping plate device capable of being clamped into the card slot 7 of the docking pin is provided inside the docking through hole 8. The active clamping plate device includes a clamping plate 9 and a spring 10. A docking bayonet 11 corresponding to the docking pin 5 is provided on the clamping plate 9. Guide bayonet fillets 12 or bayonet chamfers are provided at both ends of the docking bayonet 11. The clamping plate 9 is installed in a slide rail 13 inside the housing of the host 1. A spring 10 is provided between one end of the clamping plate 9 and the housing of the host 1. An unlocking button 14 is provided at the other end of the clamping plate 9. Under normal conditions, the docking bayonet 11 is misaligned with the docking through hole 8, and the misalignment distance is equal to the depth of the card slot 7 on the docking pin 5.

[0022] As Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown, when the handle 2 is docked with the host 1, the docking pin 5 of the handle 2 passes through the docking through hole 8, and then presses against the guide bayonet fillet 12 or bayonet chamfer on one side of the outer side of the docking bayonet 11, forcing the clamping plate 9 to compress elastically. When the docking pin 5 is inserted in place, the clamping plate 9 resets under the action of the spring 10, so that the edge of the docking bayonet 11 is clamped into the card slot 7 of the docking pin 5, thus completing the docking and fixing of the handle 2 and the host 1.

[0023] When it is necessary to disassemble the handle 2, only need to press the unlocking button 14 at one end of the clamping plate 9 to make the docking bayonet 11 and the docking through hole 8 concentric. At this time, the docking bayonet 11 exits the card slot 7 of the docking pin 5, and the docking pin 5 can be pulled out, that is, the handle 2 can be removed from the host 1. The operation is simple and fast.

[0024] Embodiment 2: As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, except that the PIN pins 3 and PIN pin sockets 4 for transmitting signals in Embodiment 1 are respectively replaced with an infrared signal receiving end 15 and an infrared signal transmitting end 16, the rest of the structure is exactly the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0025] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. All equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
