DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides an embodiment: a game console steering wheel, comprising an information acquisition mechanism 2 and a steering wheel 1 installed on the information acquisition mechanism 2; the information acquisition mechanism 2 comprises a first integrated part 20, and a linkage member 24 and a circuit board 23 are integrated inside the first integrated part 20; the first integrated part 20 is connected to a second integrated part 21, and a main shaft 27 is also provided on the second integrated part 21; one end of the main shaft 27 is connected to the steering wheel 1, and the other end of the main shaft 27 is linked to the linkage member 24; a contact 218 is provided on the linkage member 24, and through the rotation of the main shaft 27, the linkage member 24 is prompted to swing back and forth on the circuit board 23, so that the contact 218 is close to the sensor 26 provided on the circuit board 23, so as to complete the acquisition of the rotation information of the steering wheel 1 by the information acquisition mechanism 2.

[0021] To sum up, since the information acquisition mechanism 2 is integrated with the steering wheel 1, the assembly of the whole machine can be facilitated, and the two integrated parts are used to complete the integration of all components. Therefore, when the first integrated part 20 is connected to the second integrated part 21, the assembly of the device can be completed on the main shaft 27 installed on the steering wheel 1, and then the device is installed as a whole on the console, which makes the installation of the device simple and convenient, and the two integrated parts can be disassembled from each other to facilitate the maintenance and maintenance of the device, thereby reducing the use cost of the device.

[0022] At the same time, the steering wheel 1 drives the linkage member 24 to swing on the circuit board 23, so that the contact 218 on the linkage member 24 can trigger the sensor 26, so that the information acquisition mechanism 2 can obtain the rotation information of the steering wheel 1 in real time to meet the plot needs of the game, thereby improving the game simulation and making the players play more happily. In particular, the device can not only reliably obtain the rotation information of the steering wheel 1 by using the cooperation of the sensor 26 and the linkage member 24, but also reduce the overall dead weight of the device, so as to facilitate the assembly of the whole device.

[0023] Furthermore, since the linkage 24 includes a rack 217, and the rack 217 is meshed with the gear 29 provided at the bottom of the main shaft 27, the cooperation between the gear 29 and the rack 217 can improve the stability of the reciprocating sliding of the linkage 24, thereby facilitating the contact 218 on the linkage 24 to approach the sensor 26.

[0024] Furthermore, the number of the contacts 218 is two, so the two contacts 218 are used to swing on both sides of the sensor 26, so that the device can obtain the rotation direction of the steering wheel 1 in real time; at the same time, both contacts 218 are provided with mounting grooves 211, so it is convenient to install the trigger member for triggering the sensor 26 into the mounting groove 211. For example, when the sensor 26 is a Hall sensor, a magnet is installed in the mounting groove 211.

[0025] In addition, the first integrated part 20 includes a connecting frame 22 and a cover plate 25 connected to the connecting frame 22; wherein the linkage member 24 and the circuit board 23 are located between the connecting frame 22 and the cover plate 25, so the connection frame 22 and the cover plate 25 can be used to cooperate to provide a stable and reliable working environment for the linkage member 24 and the circuit board 23. At the same time, by disassembling the first integrated part 20, it is convenient to simultaneously disassemble the linkage member 24, the circuit board 23, the connecting frame 22 and the cover plate 25, so as to simplify the disassembly method of the first integrated part 20.

[0026] On the basis of the above scheme, since the second integrated part 21 includes a base 215 and a torsion spring 210 located in the base 215, and the torsion spring 210 is used to promote the restoration of the main shaft 27 after rotation, the torsion spring 210 can be used to promote the restoration of the steering wheel 1 and also to provide damping for the rotation of the steering wheel 1, thereby improving the authenticity of the steering wheel 1 control.

[0027] Furthermore, since the base 215 is provided with a paddle 212 linked to the main shaft 27, and the paddle 212 contacts with a stopper 216 disposed horizontally in the base 215 to prevent the main shaft 27 from rotating, the rotation area of ​​the steering wheel 1 is limited to further enhance the sense of reality when the steering wheel 1 rotates. The two ends of the stopper 216 contact the paddle 212 through soft rubber pads.

[0028] Specifically, a mounting plate 28 is further provided above the base 215, and a side plate 213 is provided on the side of the base 215, and a boss 214 is further provided on the side plate 213; wherein, both ends of the torsion spring 210 after being sleeved on the main shaft 27 abut against the boss 214. Therefore, when one end of the torsion spring 210 sleeved on the main shaft 27 abuts against one side of the boss 214, and the other end of the torsion spring 210 abuts against the other side of the boss 214, at this time, the paddle 212 is located between the two protruding ends of the torsion spring 210, and then when the main shaft 27 rotates to the left or right, the paddle 212 causes the torsion spring 210 to stretch, and when the external force disappears, the torsion spring 210 is reset to cause the steering wheel 1 to return to the normal position.

[0029] In summary, the cooperation between the paddle 212 and the limit member 216 provides a stable and reliable rotation area for the rotation of the steering wheel 1. At the same time, the setting of the torsion spring 210 utilizes the elastic force generated by the stretching of the torsion spring 210. While providing good rotation damping for the steering wheel 1, it can also prompt the steering wheel 1 to reset to enhance the realism of the steering wheel 1 when rotating.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
