Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of game controllers, in particular to a game controller key structure with a cross structure. Background Art

[0002] When making shoulder buttons for game controllers, the following three structural methods are generally used: a pivot lever structure, a vertical pressure structure, and a tension spring arm structure. However, these three current structural methods all have certain defects when making shoulder buttons for controllers. The disadvantage of the pivot lever structure is that when the button trigger area is large, clicking on different areas of the button will produce inconsistent feel due to changes in the length of the force arm. The shorter the force arm (L), the shorter the stroke and the harder the feel; the longer the force arm (L), the longer the stroke and the softer the feel. The pivot lever structure also requires the addition of a tension spring to assist in rebounding, which is not only difficult to assemble, but also has the problem of inconsistent feel due to material differences. At the same time, when this structure is pressed down, the tension spring is very easy to produce a spring sound due to extrusion and friction. The disadvantage of the vertical pressure structure is that when using a button with this structure When the key is triggered vertically, the feel is relatively restored to the original feel of the switch, but when the force is not vertical, the feel will be very poor, and there is even a risk of broken contact. This feature also makes the structure unsuitable for large trigger area keys, because when the keycap is too large, pressing the edge area will cause the force angle to tilt, and the feel will be very poor. Only the feel and function of the center area can be guaranteed. The disadvantage of the tension spring arm structure is that the force on the inside of the spring arm will be greater than that on the outside. In order to achieve uniformity between the inside and outside, a supporting tension spring needs to be added on the outside. The assembly process is slightly complicated, and it is difficult to make the force of the left and right spring arms and the tension spring consistent, resulting in slight differences in the feel of the left and right keys. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a game controller button structure with a cross structure, optimize the controller button structure, form a cross layout of left and right shoulder buttons, and change from one rebound tension spring on each side to a shared rebound tension spring, which can ensure the consistency of the rebound force of the left and right buttons and further increase the length of the lever. The design of a single tension spring being responsible for the rebound of the left and right buttons not only ensures the consistency of the left and right rebound forces, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of assembly and saves labor and material costs.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the utility model, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a cross-structured game controller button structure, comprising a left shoulder key, a right shoulder key is arranged on the right side of the left shoulder key, and a tension spring is connected between the left shoulder key and the right shoulder key, the side wall of the left shoulder key is connected to a first connecting arm, the side wall of the right shoulder key is connected to a second connecting arm, the surface of the first connecting arm is provided with a first hole, and the surface of the second connecting arm is provided with a second hole.

[0005] As a preferred solution of the cross-structured game controller button structure described in the utility model, a first micro switch is provided on the bottom surface of the left shoulder button, and a first switch contact is connected to the top surface of the first micro switch;

[0006] Wherein, the bottom surface of the left shoulder key corresponds to the first switch contact piece.

[0007] As a preferred solution of the cross-structured game controller button structure described in the utility model, a second micro switch is provided on the bottom surface of the right shoulder button, and a second switch contact is connected to the top surface of the second micro switch;

[0008] Wherein, the bottom surface of the right shoulder key corresponds to the second switch contact piece.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the cross-structured game controller button structure of the utility model, a first plastic hook is fixed on the top surface of the first connecting arm, and a second plastic hook is fixed on the top surface of the second connecting arm;

[0010] Wherein, the first plastic hook and the second plastic hook are respectively connected to two ends of the tension spring.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the cross-structured game controller button structure described in the utility model, the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm are cross-distributed with each other, and the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm have the same structure.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the cross-structured game controller button structure described in the utility model, round shafts are respectively inserted into the first hole and the second hole.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0014] The controller button structure is optimized to form a cross-layout of the left and right shoulder buttons. The previous left and right rebound tension springs are changed to a shared rebound tension spring. This can ensure the consistency of the rebound force of the left and right buttons while further increasing the length of the lever. The design of a single tension spring responsible for the rebound of the left and right buttons not only ensures the consistency of the left and right rebound force, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of assembly and saves labor and material costs.

[0015] During actual use, the user presses the left shoulder button. At this time, the left shoulder button is forced to drive the first connecting arm downward. The first connecting arm rotates downward with the second hole as the rotation center, overcoming the tension of the tension spring. At this time, the bottom surface of the left shoulder button will directly press the first switch contact to trigger the first micro switch. Based on the same principle, the user presses the right shoulder button. At this time, the right shoulder button is forced to drive the second connecting arm downward. The second connecting arm rotates downward with the first hole as the rotation center, overcoming the tension of the tension spring. At this time, the bottom surface of the right shoulder button will directly press the second switch contact to trigger the second micro switch. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
