However, during the use of the existing game gear lever joystick position holding force mechanism, most of the operation methods are single and the hand feel is poor. In addition, during the player simulation process, the force cannot be better controlled, so it is impossible to provide the user with timely feedback force, thereby failing to provide the user with a more realistic human-computer interaction experience, reducing the player's simulation efficiency, and at the same time resulting in poor simulation effect, affecting the player's experience.

A support column 404 is sleeved on the outer side below the rocker 401, and a small E-shaped buckle 405 is threadedly connected to the rear end of the support column 404; a small E-shaped buckle 405 is arranged at the front end of the support column 404, and a rotating shaft 407 is arranged at the front end of the indexing plate 406, and the small E The buckle 405 is threadedly connected with the rotating shaft 407, and a magnet bracket 408 is provided at the bottom end of the rocker 401. A magnet 409 is provided at the bottom end of the magnet bracket 408. The torque transmitting member 414 can transmit the rotational torque of the torsion spring around the axial direction of the support column 404 to the support column 404, so that the angular position of the rocker 401 installed on the support column 404 around the axial direction of the support column 404 is aligned with the cylinder of the torsion spring positioning member 413, that is, the neutral position, and generate a retaining force.

[0023] See also Figure 3-4In this embodiment, a bracket 410 is provided on the back side of the support column 404, a washer 411 is provided on the right side of the bracket 410, and the washer 411 is threadedly connected to the right end of the support column 404, and a large E-shaped buckle 412 is threadedly connected to the right side of the washer 411; a torsion spring positioning member 413 is screwed to the upper left side of the bracket 410, a torque transmission member 414 is threadedly connected to the left side of the support column 404, a torsion spring 415 is provided on the left side of the torque transmission member 414, and a torsion spring cover 416 is threadedly connected to the left side of the torsion spring 415; the bottom of the bracket 410 The end is movably connected with a PCB board 417, the top of the PCB board 417 is provided with a magnetic induction chip 418, the bottom end of the bracket 410 is connected with a PCB mounting shell 419 by screws, and the PCB board 417 is arranged inside the PCB mounting shell 419. Through the 401 joystick at each of the eight holding positions, the positions of the 409 magnets mounted on the 401 joystick are different relative to the 418 magnetic induction chip. The 418 magnetic induction chip detects the position signal of the 409 magnet, thereby controlling the game interface to simulate the gear switching operation of driving a car.

[0024] When working, the torque transmission piece 414 is put on the support column 404, and the two torque output ends of the torsion spring 415 are clamped between the cylinder of the torsion spring positioning piece 413 and the two sides of the torque transmission piece 414. The torque transmission piece 414 can transmit the rotational torque of the torsion spring around the axis of the support column 404 to the support column 404 so that the angular position of the rocker 401 installed on the support column 404 around the axis of the support column is aligned with the cylinder of the torsion spring positioning piece 413, that is, the neutral position, and a holding force is generated. The left and right rotation of the rocker 401 is around the axis of the support column 404, which changes the rotation of the rocker 401 around the axis of the support column When the support column 404 is at an angular position in the axial direction, an external force is applied to the rocker 401, and the rocker 401 rotates freely in the left and right directions. The rocker 401 is pulled back to the neutral position by the torsion spring force 415, and the steel ball of the spring ball plunger 403 on the rocker 401 applies elastic pressure to the indexing plate 406 installed on the support column 404. When the steel ball of the spring ball plunger 403 is pressed against one of the three grooves above the indexing plate 406, a position holding force can be generated for the rocker 401 to rotate in the direction of rotation around the rotation axis 407. The front and rear rotation of the rocker 401 is around the rotation axis 407. This holding force requires that an external force be applied to the rocker 401 in order to change the angular position of the rocker 401 around the rotating shaft 407. When the rocker 401 is pushed forward or backward, the rocker 401 is stuck in any one of the seven slots of the upper shell 1. The rocker 401 is stuck in a slot of the upper shell 1 and cannot rotate left or right. The steel ball of the spring ball plunger 403 presses against the front or rear groove of the indexing plate 406 and generates a certain resistance to the rotation of the rocker 401 in the forward and backward directions, that is, the position holding force of the rocker 401. When the rocker 401 leaves the seven front and rear slots on the upper shell, the steel ball of the spring ball plunger 403 When pressed against the middle groove of the dividing plate 406, the rocker 401 will be pulled back to the neutral position by the torsion spring force 415. The rocker 401 has holding force at eight positions, including seven slot positions and the neutral position, on the upper shell 1. A handle 2 is mounted on the upper end of the rocker 401, and a magnet 409 is mounted on the other end of the rocker 401. At each of the eight holding force positions of the rocker 401, the position of the magnet 409 mounted on the rocker 401 is different relative to the magnetic sensing chip 418. The magnetic sensing chip 418 detects the position signal of the magnet 409, thereby controlling the game interface to simulate the gear switching operation of driving a car.

[0025] Through the above steps, the movement assembly 4 is fixed to the upper shell 1 by screw connection. The setting of the movement assembly 4 facilitates better control of the strength of the rocker position holding force mechanism, thereby providing feedback force to the user in time, thereby providing the user with a more realistic human-computer interaction experience, improving the player's simulation effect, and thus improving the player's experience.
