Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of handle structures, and in particular to a trigger triggering mode switching structure and a handle. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the electronic gaming industry, controllers, as essential accessories, are experiencing a continuous expansion in functionality and user experience. Triggers, as standard features on controllers, have evolved to accommodate diverse game scenarios across various genres, resulting in a more realistic gaming experience. In pursuit of the ultimate user experience, various trigger types, from the initial remote triggers to the current multi-stage triggers, force feedback triggers, and micro-touch triggers, are constantly emerging on the market.

[0003] Currently, game controllers are often able to switch between multiple trigger modes for the trigger, but in the existing technology, the trigger mode switching design of most triggers is often not reasonable, resulting in a poor overall user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a trigger trigger mode switching structure and a handle, aiming to optimize the trigger trigger mode switching design and enhance the user experience.

[0006] Fixed bracket;

[0007] a trigger assembly movably mounted on the fixed bracket; and

[0008] a switching assembly, mounted at least on the fixed bracket, and enabling the trigger assembly to switch between a long-stroke trigger mode and a short-stroke trigger mode, with a limiting structure provided between the switching assembly and the trigger assembly;

[0009] In which, when the trigger assembly switches from the long-stroke trigger mode to the short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly moves toward the switching assembly and is connected to the switching assembly through the limiting structure, so that the initial position of the trigger assembly in the short-stroke trigger mode is closer to the switching assembly than the initial position of the trigger assembly in the long-stroke trigger mode.

[0011] The switching bracket rotates to enable the trigger assembly to switch between the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode. The elastic member causes the action member and the trigger assembly to tend to move away from each other. The action member and the elastic member can jointly adjust the trigger force of the long-stroke trigger mode and the trigger force of the short-stroke trigger mode.

[0012] In one embodiment, the trigger force of the long-stroke trigger mode is equal to the trigger force of the short-stroke trigger mode.

[0013] In one embodiment, one side of the trigger assembly and the action member are both rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket via a rotating shaft, the elastic member is provided on the rotating shaft, and one side of the elastic member abuts against the trigger assembly and the other side abuts against the action member.

[0014] In one embodiment, the switching bracket has an abutment portion, and the action member is provided with a first abutment position and a second abutment position at intervals, and the distance from the first abutment position to the switching bracket is smaller than the distance from the second abutment position to the switching bracket;

[0015] In the long-stroke trigger mode, the abutting portion abuts against the first abutting position;

[0016] In the short-stroke trigger mode, the abutting portion abuts against the second abutting position.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first abutting position is a first groove provided in the operating member, and the second abutting position is a second groove provided in the operating member.

[0018] In one embodiment, a guide transition surface is provided between the first abutting position and the second abutting position, and the guide transition surface can serve as a sliding guide for the abutting portion between the second abutting position and the first abutting position.

[0019] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a clamping portion provided on the switching assembly and a hook provided on the trigger assembly;

[0020] In the short-stroke trigger mode, the hook is engaged with the engaging portion;

[0021] In the long-stroke trigger mode, the hook is disengaged from the engaging portion.

[0022] In one embodiment, the trigger trigger mode switching structure further includes a main circuit board, the fixing bracket is provided on the main circuit board, the switching bracket is provided with a trigger switch, and the trigger assembly is provided with a trigger portion protruding toward the switching bracket;

[0023] In the short-stroke trigger mode, the trigger switch faces the trigger assembly and is electrically connected to the main circuit board. When the trigger assembly moves to the end position, the trigger part triggers the trigger switch.

[0024] In one embodiment, the switching assembly further comprises a connecting circuit board, the main circuit board is provided with an elastic conductive sheet, the trigger switch is fixed to the connecting circuit board and electrically connected to the connecting circuit board, and the connecting circuit board is provided on the switching bracket;

[0025] In the short-stroke trigger mode, the elastic conductive sheet contacts the connecting circuit board, so that the connecting circuit board is electrically connected to the main circuit board.

[0029] In the long-stroke trigger mode, when the trigger assembly moves to the end position, the side of the trigger assembly facing the switching assembly abuts against the limiting portion.

[0030] In one embodiment, the limiting portion is configured as a second buffer component.

[0031] The present invention also provides a handle comprising the trigger triggering mode switching structure described above.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a fixed bracket, a trigger assembly movably mounted on the fixed bracket, and a switching assembly at least partially mounted on the fixed bracket. The switching assembly enables the trigger assembly to switch between a long-stroke trigger mode and a short-stroke trigger mode. A limiting structure is provided between the switching assembly and the fixed bracket. When the trigger assembly switches from the long-stroke trigger mode to the short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly moves toward the switching assembly, that is, the trigger assembly moves toward the inside of the handle, so that the trigger assembly and the switching assembly are connected through the limiting structure, and the limiting structure can limit the switching assembly, so that the initial position of the switching assembly in the short-stroke trigger mode is limited to the position after the trigger assembly is retracted, so that the initial position of the trigger assembly in the short-stroke trigger mode is closer to the switching assembly than the initial position of the trigger assembly in the long-stroke trigger mode. That is, in this solution, the initial position of the trigger assembly in the short-stroke trigger mode is retracted toward the inside of the handle compared to the initial position of the trigger assembly in the long-stroke trigger mode, thereby effectively reducing the user's touch feeling when switching to the short-stroke trigger mode, thereby improving the user's gaming experience.

[0064] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0065] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0067] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0068] As a standard feature on the gamepad, the trigger has emerged in a variety of triggering methods to cope with different game scenarios of different game types to achieve a more realistic gaming experience. In pursuit of the ultimate user experience, various forms of triggers have emerged on the market, from the initial remote trigger to the current multi-stage trigger, trigger force feedback or micro-trigger. At present, gamepads are often able to switch between multiple triggering methods. However, in the existing technology, the triggering method switching design of most triggers is often not reasonable. For example, when switching between the long-stroke triggering method and the short-stroke triggering method, the initial positions of the two triggering methods are often the same, and the triggering method is switched by changing the end position of the trigger. This switching method often has a top feel when the user switches to the short-stroke triggering method, resulting in a poor overall user experience.

[0069] In view of this, the present invention proposes a trigger trigger mode switching structure 100, which is applied to a handle. The trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 can optimize the trigger trigger mode switching design and enhance the user experience.

[0070] See also Figures 1 to 21 In one embodiment of the present invention, the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 includes:

[0071] Fixed bracket 1;

[0072] A trigger assembly 2 is movably mounted on the fixed bracket 1; and

[0073] a switching assembly 3, mounted at least on the fixed bracket 1, and enabling the trigger assembly 2 to switch between a long-stroke trigger mode and a short-stroke trigger mode, with a limiting structure provided between the switching assembly 3 and the trigger assembly 2;

[0074] When the trigger assembly 2 switches from the long-stroke trigger mode to the short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly 2 moves toward the switching assembly 3 and is connected to the switching assembly 3 through a limiting structure, so that the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the short-stroke trigger mode is closer to the switching assembly 3 than the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode.

[0075] Specifically, trigger assembly 2 is movably mounted on fixed bracket 1, and switching assembly 3 is at least movably mounted on fixed bracket 1 and is capable of actuating trigger assembly 2, thereby switching trigger assembly 2 between a long-stroke trigger mode and a short-stroke trigger mode. Furthermore, both switching assembly 3 and trigger assembly 2 are mounted on fixed bracket 1, with the movable components directly fixedly associated with fixed bracket 1. This effectively minimizes the cumulative error in the fit between movable components such as switching assembly 3 and trigger assembly 2, simplifies fit issues, and facilitates adjustments and production control.

[0076] The trigger assembly 2 has different motion path lengths in the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode to accommodate different gaming scenarios. In the long-stroke trigger mode, the trigger assembly 2 typically has a first initial position and a first final position, between which it moves. In the short-stroke trigger mode, the trigger assembly 2 typically has a second initial position and a second final position, between which it moves.

[0077] In the prior art, the first and second initial positions of the trigger assembly 2 are often set to the same position, and the switch between the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode is achieved by different first and second end positions. As a result, the trigger assembly 2 often has a strong jerking feeling when it is just switched to the short-stroke trigger mode, resulting in a poor gaming experience. In this solution, the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the short-stroke trigger mode is closer to the switching assembly 3 than the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode. That is, in this solution, the second initial position of the trigger assembly 2 is set inward of the handle compared to the first initial position. This effectively reduces the jerking feeling when the user switches to the short-stroke trigger mode and improves the user's gaming experience.

[0078] In order to limit the second initial position of the trigger assembly 2 from retracting inwardly toward the inside of the handle compared to the first initial position, a limiting structure is provided between the switch assembly 3 and the fixed bracket 1. When the trigger assembly 2 switches from the long-stroke trigger mode to the short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly 2 moves toward the switch assembly 3, that is, the trigger assembly 2 moves inwardly toward the handle, so that the trigger assembly 2 and the switch assembly 3 are connected via the limiting structure, and the limiting structure can limit the switch assembly 3, thereby limiting the initial position of the switch assembly 3 in the short-stroke trigger mode to the position after the trigger assembly 2 is retracted, that is, the switch assembly 3 can only move outwardly to the second initial position in the short-stroke trigger mode, thereby achieving the purpose of setting the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the short-stroke trigger mode closer to the switch assembly 3 than the initial position of the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode.

[0079] The first and second end positions in this solution may be the same or different, and designers can adjust them according to actual design needs. The long-stroke trigger mode can be a linear trigger, which drives the potentiometer to generate an electrical signal by moving the physical connecting rod, thereby determining the trigger state of the trigger assembly 2, and then controlling the corresponding game scene. It can be applied to game scenes such as simulating linear control of the throttle / brake; the short-stroke trigger mode is triggered quickly and can be applied to game scenes such as simulating firearm shooting that require high-frequency trigger pulling. The trigger assembly 2 includes a trigger bracket 21 and a trigger keycap 22 provided on the trigger bracket 21. The trigger bracket 21 is used to cooperate with the switch assembly 3. The trigger keycap 22 is clamped to the side of the trigger bracket 21 facing away from the switch assembly 3 for the user to hold.

[0080] See also Figures 2 to 4 、 Figures 14 to 16 、 Figures 18 to 21 In an embodiment of the present invention, the switching assembly 3 includes a switching bracket 31 rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 1, and an action member 32 rotatably mounted between the fixed bracket 1 and the trigger assembly 2, with an elastic member 33 between the action member 32 and the trigger assembly 2; the switching bracket 31 rotates to cause the trigger assembly 2 to switch between the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode, and the elastic member 33 causes the action member 32 and the trigger assembly 2 to have a tendency to move away from each other, and the action member 32 and the elastic member 33 can jointly adjust the trigger force of the long-stroke trigger mode and the trigger force of the short-stroke trigger mode.

[0081] Specifically, the switch bracket 31 realizes the switching of the trigger assembly 2 between the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode by rotating, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 17 , Figure 1 The trigger assembly 2 in the long-travel trigger mode is Figure 17The trigger assembly 2 is in short-stroke trigger mode. To switch to short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly 2 can be rotated counterclockwise. To switch back to short-stroke mode, the trigger assembly 2 can be rotated clockwise. Therefore, when the user needs to switch between long-stroke and short-stroke modes, they can do so by simply rotating the switch bracket 31 accordingly, facilitating handle operation. An actuator 32 is disposed between the fixed bracket 1 and the trigger assembly 2. An elastic member 33 is positioned between the actuator 32 and the trigger assembly 2. This elastic member 33 forces the actuator 32 and the trigger assembly 2 to move away from each other, allowing the actuator 32 to abut against the switch assembly 3. This forces the actuator 32 against the trigger assembly 2 through the elastic member 33, generating a trigger force. By controlling the relative position of the actuator 32 and the trigger assembly 2, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the trigger force of the trigger assembly 2. This results in improved force and feel, further enhancing the user experience.

[0082] In order to ensure the stable rotation of the switching bracket 31, the stable switching of different trigger modes can be ensured. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 16 The fixed bracket 1 is provided with a rotating column 11. A rotating sleeve 311 is provided on the side of the switching bracket 31 facing the fixed bracket 1. This rotating sleeve 311 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating column 11, thereby stably mounting the switching bracket 31 on the fixed bracket 1. Furthermore, a limit screw 12 is provided between the rotating sleeve 311 and the rotating column 11. This limit screw 12 passes through one end of the rotating sleeve 311 and is rotatably connected to the rotating column 11, thereby limiting the axial relative movement between the rotating sleeve 311 and the rotating column 11. In other embodiments, the rotating column 11 can also be provided on the switching bracket 31, with the corresponding rotating sleeve 311 provided on the fixed bracket 1.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the trigger force in the long-stroke trigger mode is equal to the trigger force in the short-stroke trigger mode, thereby ensuring that the operating force required for the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode and the short-stroke trigger mode are equivalent. This reduces the difference in operating force caused by different trigger modes, which can lead to a poor gaming experience for users. Of course, in other embodiments, the trigger force in the long-stroke trigger mode and the trigger force in the short-stroke trigger mode can also be set to be unequal. Designers can adjust the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 according to actual design requirements, such as by adjusting the operating position of the switching bracket 31 and the operating member 32, and then adjusting the relative position of the operating member 32 and the trigger assembly 2, thereby adjusting the preload angle of the elastic member 33 and thus adjusting the trigger force. The trigger force in the short-stroke trigger mode can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0084] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21 One side of the trigger assembly 2 and the action member 32 are both rotatably mounted to the fixed bracket 1 via a rotating shaft 34. An elastic member 33 is disposed on the rotating shaft 34, with one side of the elastic member 33 abutting the trigger assembly 2 and the other side abutting the action member 32. Specifically, one side of the trigger assembly 2 is rotatably mounted to the fixed bracket 1 via the rotating shaft 34, and the action member 32 is also rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 34, thereby enabling relative movement of the action member 32 and the trigger assembly 2 about the same rotating shaft 34. By controlling the angle between the two, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 is controlled, thereby regulating the triggering force of the trigger assembly 2. To ensure stable installation of the elastic member 33, the elastic member 33 can be mounted on the rotating shaft 34, with one side of the elastic member 33 abutting the trigger assembly 2 and the other side abutting the action member 32. In other words, the elastic member 33 can be configured as a torsion spring, thereby enabling the action member 32 to compress the trigger assembly 2 via the elastic member 33.

[0085] Therefore, in this embodiment, the trigger assembly 2, the actuator 32, and the elastic member 33 are all rotatably mounted on the same rotating shaft 34 and are collectively mounted to the fixed bracket 1 via the rotating shaft 34. This improves the structural stability of the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100. The trigger force of the trigger assembly 2 can be stably controlled simply by adjusting the angle between the trigger assembly 2 and the actuator 32 or replacing the elastic member 33, thereby facilitating the control of the trigger assembly 2. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the trigger assembly 2 is rotated about one side of the trigger assembly 2 to achieve a travel trigger, thereby facilitating user operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the travel trigger can also be achieved by sliding the trigger assembly 2 relative to the fixed bracket 1.

[0086] Further, refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figures 19 to 21The switch bracket 31 has an abutment portion 312. The operating member 32 is spaced apart from a first abutment position 321 and a second abutment position 322. The distance between the first abutment position 321 and the switch bracket 31 is smaller than the distance between the second abutment position 322 and the switch bracket 31. In the long-stroke trigger mode, the abutment portion 312 abuts the first abutment position 321; in the short-stroke trigger mode, the abutment portion 312 abuts the second abutment position 322. Specifically, the abutment portion 312 is located on the side of the switch bracket 31 facing the trigger assembly 2. The operating member 32 is provided with a first abutting position 321 and a second abutting position 322. When the abutting portion 312 abuts the first abutting position 321, the operating member 32 is in the first position; when the abutting portion 312 abuts the second abutting position 322, the operating member 32 is in the second position. The first position and the second position are different. By changing the position of the operating member 32, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the trigger force of the trigger assembly 2. By rotating the switching bracket 31, the abutting position of the abutting portion 312 and the operating member 32 is changed, thereby adjusting the trigger force while switching between different trigger modes, further facilitating user operation and enhancing the user experience.

[0087] It can be understood that since the second initial position of the trigger assembly 2 is retracted toward the inside of the handle compared to the first initial position, and in order to ensure that the trigger force of the long-stroke trigger mode is equal to the trigger force of the short-stroke trigger mode, the position of the action member 32 in the short-stroke trigger mode is also closer to the switching assembly 3 than its position in the long-stroke trigger mode, so that the angle between the trigger assembly 2 and the action member 32 in the long-stroke trigger mode is basically equal to the angle between the trigger assembly 2 and the action member 32 in the long-stroke trigger mode, so that the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 in the long-stroke trigger mode is basically the same as the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33 in the short-stroke trigger mode, so that the trigger force in different trigger modes is equal, so the distance from the second abutment position 322 to the switching assembly 3 is greater than the distance from the first abutment position 321 to the switching assembly 3.

[0088] It should be noted that the distance from the second abutment position 322 to the switching component 3 is greater than the distance from the first abutment position 321 to the switching component 3, that is, the vertical distance from the second abutment position 322 to the rotation axis of the switching component 3 is greater than the vertical distance from the first abutment position 321 to the rotation axis of the switching component 3.

[0089] Among them, the action member 32 includes a main body 327, and two rotating arms 326 respectively arranged at opposite ends of the main body 327 and arranged at an angle to the main body 327. The rotating arm 326 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 34 at one end away from the main body 327. The first abutment position 321 and the second abutment position 322 are arranged on the main body 327 and are respectively arranged near the opposite ends of the main body 327.

[0090] The first locking portion 321 is a first groove 323 provided on the working member 32, so that when the abutting portion 312 abuts against the first abutting portion 321, the abutting portion 312 is snapped into the first groove 323, thereby further defining the relative position of the abutting portion 312 and the working member 32, reducing the possibility of relative sliding between the abutting portion 312 and the working member 32, thereby improving the working reliability of the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 in the long-stroke trigger mode; the second abutting position 322 is a second groove 324 provided on the working member 32, so that when the abutting portion 312 abuts against the second abutting position 322, the abutting portion 312 is snapped into the second groove 324, thereby further defining the relative position of the abutting portion 312 and the working member 32, reducing the possibility of relative sliding between the abutting portion 312 and the working member 32, thereby improving the working reliability of the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 in the short-stroke trigger mode.

[0091] For further information, see Figure 7 A guide transition surface 325 is provided between the first abutting position 321 and the second abutting position 322. The guide transition surface 325 can guide the sliding movement of the abutting portion 312 between the second abutting position 322 and the first abutting position 321. When switching between different trigger modes, the abutting portion 312 slides relative to the active member 32. Therefore, in order to conveniently guide the sliding movement of the abutting portion 312, a guide transition surface 325 is provided between the first abutting position 321 and the second abutting position 322. The guide transition surface 325 can guide the sliding movement of the abutting portion 312 between the second abutting position 322 and the first abutting position 321. When the user needs to switch between different trigger modes, the abutting portion 312 can automatically return to its original position by simply applying a force to the switching bracket 31 to drive the switching bracket 31 to rotate. This reduces the possibility of the abutting portion 312 getting stuck between the first abutting position 321 and the second abutting position 322, thereby improving the smoothness of the trigger mode switching.

[0092] See also Figures 13 to 21To enhance the stability of the engagement between the switch assembly 3 and the trigger assembly 2 via the limiting structure, in one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a locking portion 313 provided on the switch bracket 31 and a hook 23 provided on the trigger assembly 2. In the short-stroke trigger mode, the hook 23 is engaged with the locking portion 313; in the long-stroke trigger mode, the hook 23 is disengaged from the locking portion 313. Specifically, the locking portion 313 can be configured as a slot, so that when the hook 23 is engaged with the slot, the hook 23 can move within the slot, thereby achieving the short-stroke trigger mode. This allows the limiting structure to only restrict the movement of the trigger assembly 2 from the second initial position to the first initial position, and does not restrict the movement of the trigger assembly 2 between the second initial position and the second end position. Moreover, the hook 23 and the slot are arranged along the rotation direction of the switching bracket 31, so that in the short-stroke trigger mode, the trigger assembly 2 can be automatically engaged by simply pushing it toward the switching bracket 31; and when it is necessary to switch from the short-stroke trigger mode to the long-stroke trigger mode, the hook 23 can be disengaged from the engaging portion 313 by simply rotating the switching bracket 31, thereby facilitating the switching between different trigger modes.

[0093] That is, the engaging position of the engaging portion 313 and the hook 23 determines the second initial position of the trigger assembly 2 (the second initial position is located between the first initial position and the first end position of the long-stroke trigger mode). Designers can adjust the engaging position of the engaging portion 313 and the hook 23 to regulate the second initial position, thereby matching the ergonomically optimal hand-feel position adjustment of the entire handle.

[0094] In one embodiment, the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 further includes a main circuit board 4, a fixed bracket 1 mounted on the main circuit board 4, a switch bracket 31 equipped with a trigger switch 35, and a trigger assembly 2 with a trigger portion 24 protruding toward the switch bracket 31. In the short-stroke trigger mode, the trigger switch 35 faces the trigger assembly 2 and is electrically connected to the main circuit board 4. When the trigger assembly 2 reaches its end position, the trigger portion 24 triggers the trigger switch 35. Specifically, the fixed bracket 1 is mounted on the main circuit board 4, and the trigger switch 35 is electrically connected to the main circuit board 4. This means that the main circuit board 4 not only serves as a circuit board but also as a support plate, providing stable support for the switch assembly 3, fixed bracket 1, and trigger assembly 2. The trigger switch 35 is mounted on the switch bracket 31 and moves with the rotation of the switch bracket 31. When the short-stroke trigger mode is desired, the trigger switch 35 rotates with the switch bracket 31 toward the trigger assembly 2, thereby electrically connecting with the main circuit board 4 and energizing the trigger switch 35. Furthermore, the trigger switch 35 is positioned toward the trigger assembly 2, so that when the trigger moves to the second end position, the trigger portion 24 triggers the trigger switch 35. In this embodiment, the trigger switch 35 is a microswitch. Microswitches have advantages such as a small gap between contacts, rapid force transmission, fast actuation, and high sensitivity, making them suitable for short-stroke triggering.

[0095] The trigger portion 24 is protruding toward the switch bracket 31. In the short-stroke trigger mode, when the trigger assembly 2 moves to the end position (i.e., the second end position), the trigger portion 24 can press the trigger switch handle on the trigger switch 35, thereby triggering the trigger switch 35. In order to reduce the loss caused by friction, a first buffer 241 is provided at the end of the trigger portion 24 facing the switch bracket 31. On the other hand, the presence of the first buffer 241 can also give the user a rebound buffering feel in the short-stroke trigger mode, further reducing the top feel. Of course, in other embodiments, the first buffer 241 may not be provided at the end of the trigger portion 24 facing the switch bracket 31, that is, the trigger portion 24 directly triggers the trigger switch 35. In this case, the user has a crisp rebound feel in the short-stroke trigger mode, which helps to achieve quick pressing and following. The first buffer 241 can be made of silicone. Optionally, the first buffer is configured as a silicone nail.

[0096] It can be understood that when it is necessary to switch to the long-stroke trigger mode, the switching bracket 31 drives the trigger switch 35 to rotate, so that the trigger switch 35 and the trigger part 24 are misaligned, and the trigger switch 35 and the main circuit board 4 are powered off. Therefore, in the long-stroke trigger mode, the trigger part 24 will not contact the trigger switch 35, nor will it trigger the trigger switch 35, thereby improving the working reliability of the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode.

[0097] Further, refer again Figure 13 and Figure 21 The switching assembly 3 also includes a connecting circuit board 36. An elastic conductive sheet 41 is provided on the main circuit board 4. The trigger switch 35 is fixed to the connecting circuit board 36 and is electrically connected to the connecting circuit board 36. The connecting circuit board 36 is provided on the switching bracket 31. In the short-stroke trigger mode, the elastic conductive sheet 41 contacts the connecting circuit board 36 to electrically connect the connecting circuit board 36 to the main circuit board 4. Specifically, the trigger switch 35 is fixed to the connecting circuit board 36, and the connecting circuit board 36 is used to control the operation of the trigger switch 35. In the long-stroke trigger mode, the connecting circuit board 36 is in a power-off state. When it is necessary to switch to the short-stroke trigger state, see Figure 16 The switching bracket 31 drives the connecting circuit board 36 and the trigger switch 35 to move, thereby bringing the connecting circuit board 36 into contact with the elastic conductive sheet 41, thereby achieving electrical connection between the connecting circuit board 36 and the elastic conductive sheet 41 and enabling the normal operation of the trigger switch 35. Furthermore, the elastic conductive sheet 41 is used to electrically connect the connecting circuit board 36 and the main circuit board 4, thus avoiding the complex process of designing a wire management trough for wire connection, thereby simplifying the circuit structure.

[0098] In order to facilitate the assembly of the connecting circuit board 36 and the switching bracket 31 , a fixing groove 314 may be provided on the switching bracket 31 , and the connecting circuit board 36 is snapped into the fixing groove 314 .

[0099] In order to limit the end position of the trigger assembly 2 in the long-stroke trigger mode, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 8 to 12 The trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 also includes a rear housing 5, which covers the side of the switch assembly 3 facing away from the fixed bracket 1. A stopper 51 is provided on the side of the rear housing 5 facing the switch assembly 3. In the long-stroke trigger mode, when the trigger assembly 2 moves to the end position, the side of the trigger assembly 2 facing the switch assembly 3 abuts the stopper 51. Specifically, the rear housing 5 can be configured as the rear housing 5 of the handle. The fixed bracket 1, trigger assembly 2, and switch assembly 3 are disposed between the rear housing 5 and the main circuit board 4. The rear housing 5 also includes a stopper 51 extending toward the switch assembly 3. In the long-stroke trigger mode, when the trigger assembly 2 moves toward the switch assembly 3 to the end position (also known as the first end position), the side of the trigger assembly 2 facing the switch assembly 3 abuts the stopper 51, thereby limiting the movement of the trigger assembly 2. To reduce wear, in one embodiment, the stopper 51 is configured as a second buffer, providing a cushioning effect on the contact between the trigger assembly 2 and the stopper 51, while also improving the user's grip. In order to facilitate the fixing of the limiting portion 51 to the rear shell 5, the rear shell 5 is provided with a limiting groove 52, and the second buffer is fixed to the limiting groove 52. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting portion 51 can also be configured as a hard structure. Among them, the second buffer can be made of silicone material.

[0100] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figure 17 In an embodiment of the present invention, the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 further includes a rear housing 5, which is positioned over the side of the switch assembly 3 facing away from the fixed bracket 1. The rear housing 5 defines a guide hole 53, and the switch bracket 31 includes a toggle portion 315 protruding toward the rear housing 5. The toggle portion 315 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 53 and slides within the guide hole 53 to switch between the short-stroke trigger mode and the long-stroke trigger mode. Specifically, the undulating portion slidably engages the guide hole 53, thereby being exposed from the rear housing 5. To switch between the short-stroke and long-stroke trigger modes, the user simply undulates the toggle portion 315 along the extending direction of the guide hole 53 to the corresponding position, thereby facilitating user operation. In the long-stroke trigger mode, the toggle portion 315 is located at one end of the guide hole 53; in the short-stroke trigger mode, the toggle portion 315 is located at the other end of the guide hole 53, making it easy for the user to position the toggle portion 315.

[0101] In summary, refer to Figures 1 to 21 The working process of the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 can be as follows: in the long-stroke trigger mode, the toggle portion 315 is located corresponding to one end of the guide hole 53, and the abutting portion 312 of the switching bracket 31 abuts against the first abutting position 321 of the action member 32. The trigger assembly 2 moves from the first initial position to the first end position under the push of the user's finger. At the first end position, the trigger assembly 2 abuts against the limiting portion 51, thereby limiting the movement of the trigger assembly 2 to the first end position and stopping. When the user releases the trigger assembly 2, the elastic member 33 can cause the trigger assembly 2 to automatically rebound toward the first initial position.

[0102] When switching from the long-stroke trigger mode to the short-stroke trigger mode, the user applies a force to the toggle portion 315 toward the other end of the guide hole 53. The switch bracket 31 automatically moves to the second abutment position 322 under the action of the guide transition surface 325. Simultaneously, due to the rotation of the switch bracket 31, the abutment portion 312 of the switch bracket 31 abuts the second abutment position 322 of the actuator 32. Due to this change in the switching position, the actuator 32 deflects toward the switch bracket 31, reducing the pressing force of the actuator 32 on the trigger assembly 2. Furthermore, due to the rotation of the switch bracket 31, the trigger switch 35 moves toward the trigger assembly 2. Simultaneously, the connecting circuit board 36 contacts the elastic conductive sheet 41, thereby energizing the trigger switch 35.

[0103] Then, the trigger assembly 2 is pressed to move the trigger assembly 2 to the second initial position, so that the hook 23 of the trigger assembly 2 is engaged with the engaging portion 313 of the switching bracket 31, thereby limiting the movement of the trigger assembly 2 to the first initial position and making the second initial position "recessed" relative to the first initial position, thereby reducing the angle between the second initial position and the action member 32, that is, making the action member 32 and the trigger assembly 2 recessed inward as a whole, thereby ensuring that the trigger force of the short-stroke trigger mode and the trigger force of the long-stroke trigger mode are equal; the trigger assembly 2 is pressed when the user's finger is on. Under the push of the trigger assembly 2, the trigger assembly 2 moves from the second initial position to the second end position. At the second end position, the trigger portion 24 of the trigger assembly 2 triggers the trigger switch 35, and the elastic member 33 can automatically rebound the trigger assembly 2 toward the second initial position. When it is necessary to switch back to the long-stroke trigger mode, the user applies a reset force to the toggle portion 315, and the switching bracket 31 automatically returns to the first abutting position 321 under the action of the guide transition surface 325. At the same time, the hook 23 disengages the engaging portion 313, so that the limit of the trigger assembly 2 is released. However, in this embodiment, the working process of the trigger trigger mode switching structure 100 is not limited to this. As long as the switching between the long-stroke switching mode and the short-stroke switching mode can be achieved, and the initial position of the short-stroke mode is retracted relative to the initial position of the long-stroke mode, it is within the scope of protection of this embodiment.
