Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a joystick cap, in particular to an adjustable game joystick cap. Background Art

[0002] Currently, existing height-adjustable joystick caps for game controllers have many drawbacks. For example, Chinese patent publication number CN 217773196 U, entitled "Position Adjustment Structure and Game Controller," discloses "a position adjustment structure for a game controller, characterized in that the position adjustment structure comprises: a joystick having a first thread; a conductive member having a second thread, the first thread and the second thread being threadedly connected together; the joystick being rotatable relative to the conductive member to adjust the relative position of the two through threaded engagement." Because the threads of the joystick and the conductive member lack any positioning structure design, the joystick can easily rotate arbitrarily with the shaking of the thumb during use, resulting in the joystick's height being unstable and unable to stabilize its height, thus defeating the purpose of adjustment. The fluctuating height actually affects the player's normal operation. Therefore, developing an adjustable game joystick cap has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies and provides an adjustable game joystick cap.

[0004] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: an adjustable game joystick cap, comprising a cap body and a cap head, a cap head mounting hole is provided on the upper part of the cap body, the cap head mounting hole is provided with a thread, positioning grooves are evenly distributed on the thread, a cylindrical portion is provided at the bottom of the cap head, and at least one positioning ball head is provided on the cylindrical portion, and the positioning ball head can be screwed in along the thread of the cap head mounting hole. When the screwing-in process passes through the positioning grooves distributed on the thread, not only can positioning be achieved, but also it can be accompanied by a "clicking" sound and a jerky feel, which is convenient for accurately positioning the lifting and lowering height of the cap.

[0005] Furthermore, the cap body includes a spherical cover and a threaded seat, and the threaded seat is fixed to the top of the spherical cover by a snap-fit ​​structure or by screw locking.

[0006] Furthermore, the threaded seat is made of silicone, rubber, PVC soft glue or PET soft glue.

[0007] Furthermore, the spherical cover is made of plastic or metal material.

[0008] Furthermore, a spring is provided in the cap head mounting hole, the lower end of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the cap head mounting hole, and the upper end of the spring is against the bottom of the cylindrical part of the cap head; the function of the spring is to provide a certain upward tightening force, so that the friction between the positioning ball head and the thread on the cap head is increased, thereby further stabilizing the cap head and achieving a better positioning effect.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring embedding opening is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical portion.

[0010] Furthermore, an anti-scratch cap is provided on the top of the spring to prevent the rod cap from being scratched by the end of the spring when rotating.

[0011] The advantages of the present invention compared with the existing technology are: the present invention achieves stable positioning and a technical effect of a frustrating feel through the cooperation between the positioning ball head and the positioning groove on the thread. At the same time, through the cooperation between the soft rubber threaded seat and the plastic cap head, the friction between the two is increased, making the positioning of the cap head more stable and avoiding the problem of arbitrary rotation of the cap head during game control.

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, an adjustable game joystick rod cap includes a cap body 1 and a cap head 2. A cap head mounting hole 3 is provided on the upper part of the cap body 1, and the cap head mounting hole 3 is provided with a thread 4. Positioning grooves 5 are evenly distributed on the thread 4. A cylindrical portion 6 is provided at the bottom of the cap head 2, and at least one positioning ball head 7 is provided on the cylindrical portion 6. The positioning ball head 7 can be screwed in along the thread 4 of the cap head mounting hole 3. When the screwing-in process passes through the positioning grooves 5 distributed on the thread 4, not only can positioning be achieved, but also it can be accompanied by a "clicking" sound and a jerky feel, which is convenient for accurately positioning the lifting height of the rod cap.

[0023] Example 2: Figures 3 to 7 As shown, an adjustable game joystick cap includes a spherical cover 101, a threaded seat 102 and a cap head 2, the spherical cover 101 and the cap head 2 are made of plastic or metal materials, the threaded seat 102 is made of silicone, rubber, PVC soft glue or PET soft glue (in other embodiments, the materials of the cap head 2 and the threaded seat 102 can be interchangeable), the threaded seat 102 is fixed to the top of the spherical cover 101 by a snap structure 8 (in other embodiments, screws or other structures can also be used for fixing), the snap structure 8 includes a convex buckle 801 and a positioning protrusion 802 arranged on the spherical cover 101, and a buckle groove 803 and a positioning groove 804 arranged on the threaded seat 102. The threaded seat 102 is provided with a cap head mounting hole 3, and the cap head mounting hole 3 is provided with a thread 4, and positioning grooves 5 are evenly distributed on the thread 4. The bottom of the cap head 2 is provided with a cylindrical portion 6, and the cylindrical portion 6 is provided with at least one positioning ball head 7, generally three to eight are used. The positioning ball head 7 can be screwed in along the thread 4 of the cap head mounting hole 3. When the screwing-in process passes through the positioning grooves 5 distributed on the thread 4, not only can positioning be achieved, but also it can be accompanied by a frustrated feel, which is convenient for accurately positioning the lifting height of the rod cap.

[0024] A spring 9 is provided in the cap head mounting hole 3, and the lower end of the spring 9 is fixed to the bottom of the cap head mounting hole 3. A spring embedding opening 10 is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical portion 6. The upper end of the spring 9 extends into the spring embedding opening 10 and rests against the top of the spring embedding opening 10. In order to prevent the rod cap from being scratched by the end of the spring 9 when rotating, an anti-scratch cap 11 is provided on the top of the spring 9; the function of the spring 9 is to provide a certain upward tightening force, so that the friction between the positioning ball head 7 on the cap head 2 and the thread 4 is increased, thereby further stabilizing the cap head 2 and achieving a better positioning effect.

[0025] like Figure 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the present invention installed on a rocker potentiometer, wherein the rocker portion of the rocker potentiometer is connected via the plug interface provided at the bottom of the spherical cover 101 .

[0026] When using, Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, when the height of the cap 2 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to rotate the cap 2 clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the positioning ball head 7 on the cylindrical portion of the cap head along the trajectory of the thread 4 of the threaded seat cap head mounting hole to achieve the height adjustment of the cap head. The adjustment is accompanied by a certain amount of resistance and a sense of frustration. The certain resistance is because the threaded seat 102 is made of silicone, rubber, PVC soft rubber or PET soft rubber, which has a large rotational friction with the cap 2. The frustration is the effect of the positioning ball head 7 passing through each positioning groove 5, which facilitates the player's precise control. After the adjustment is in place, the aforementioned friction and the cooperation of the positioning ball head 7 and the positioning groove 5 make the cap head stable and can remain stable during game control, and the problem of the cap head automatically rotating arbitrarily will not occur.
