DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0051] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a one-handed game controller, which includes a handle body 1 and a rotating body 2; the handle body 1 has a panel portion 11, and the panel portion 11 is provided with buttons 111 and a joystick 112; the rotating body 2 is connected to the side of the handle body 1 facing away from the panel portion 11 through an auxiliary component 3; a supporting joystick head 21 is provided at one end of the rotating body 2 away from the handle body 1; the rotating body 2 can rotate around the auxiliary component 3 to be vertically supported on the handle body 1; the supporting joystick head 21 can abut against the supporting surface, and can be shaken instead of the joystick 112 to input shaking commands.

[0053] In actual use, this one-handed game controller is suitable not only for users with normal hands, but also for users with one-hand disabilities. When a normal user uses it, he only needs to rotate the rotating body 2 around the auxiliary component 3 to be parallel to the bottom side of the handle body 1, so that the rotating body 2 enters the storage state. At this time, the user can hold the handle body 1 normally with both hands, and use both hands to respectively control the buttons 111 and the joystick 112 in the panel part 11 of the handle body 1; when a one-handed disabled user uses it, he only needs to rotate the rotating body 2 around the auxiliary component 3 to be perpendicular to the bottom side of the handle body 1, and the other hand can hold the handle body 1, and the rotating body 2 abuts against the support surface. While supporting the handle body 1, the supporting rocker head 21 at one end of the rotating body 2 can abut and shake against the supporting surface, so that the supporting rocker head 21 can replace the rocker 112 to input a shaking command. A one-handed disabled user can input a pressing command on the button 111 in the panel part 11 of the handle body 1 with one hand, and at the same time push the handle body 1 with one hand to input a shaking command through the supporting rocker head 21 at one end of the rotating body 2, thereby realizing the simultaneous input of pressing commands and shaking commands equivalent to normal two-handed input.

[0054] To sum up, the one-handed game controller provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can switch the assembly state of the rotating body 2 relative to the handle body 1 through the auxiliary component 3, and when the rotating body 2 is rotated to be perpendicular to the bottom side of the handle body 1, the support joystick head 21 at the supporting end of the rotating body 2 can replace the shaking command input of the joystick 112 in the panel part 11 of the handle body 1, thereby effectively solving the problem that the game controller in the prior art cannot meet the normal use of one-handed disabled users, and has the beneficial effects of simple and clever structure, convenient and flexible use, and good universal applicability.

[0055] In one embodiment, the handle body 1 further includes an outwardly protruding holding portion 12 ; a recessed mounting portion 121 is provided on the side of the holding portion 12 facing away from the panel portion 11 ; one end of the rotating body 2 is movably connected to the mounting portion 121 through an auxiliary component 3 .

[0056] Specific, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2In further detail, a mounting portion 121 is provided in the grip portion 12 of the handle body 1, which is recessed away from the panel portion 11, and one end of the rotating body 2 is movably connected to the mounting portion 121 through the auxiliary component 3. In this way, when the rotating body 2 is not needed to support the handle body 1, the rotating body 2 can be rotated around the auxiliary component 3, and the rotating body 2 can be at least partially stored in the mounting portion 121 in the grip portion 12, which is convenient for the user to hold the grip portion 12 normally, and can also improve the compactness of the structure of the one-handed game controller, making it easy to store.

[0057] Of course, the shapes of the mounting portion 121 and the rotating body 2 can be configured to be corresponding. For example, if the rotating body 2 is configured to be columnar, the mounting portion 121 can be configured to be a semi-columnar recessed groove.

[0058] In one embodiment, the auxiliary component 3 includes a fixed connection member 31, a rotating set member 32 and a rotation limiting structure; the fixed connection member 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 121; the rotating set member 32 is at least partially sleeved on the fixed connection member 31, and one end forms a connecting portion 321 for connecting to the rotating body 2; the rotation limiting structure is respectively connected to the fixed connection member 31 and the rotating set member 32;

[0059] The rotating body 2 can drive the rotating assembly 32 to rotate around the fixed connection member 31 , and when it rotates to a specific angle, it can trigger the rotation limiting structure to limit and fix the rotating assembly 32 and the fixed connection member 31 .

[0060] Specific, combined Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 To further explain in detail, the auxiliary component 3 is specifically configured as a fixed connecting piece 31 and a rotating set piece 32, and the two are connected in a limited manner through a rotation limiting structure. The fixed connecting piece 31 can be fixedly installed with the mounting portion 121 in the holding portion 12; one end of the rotating set piece 32 is connected to the rotating body 2 through a connecting portion 321, and can be rotatably mounted on the fixed connecting piece 31, so that when the rotating body 2 is turned by the user, the rotating set piece 32 can be driven to rotate around the fixed connecting piece 31 through the connecting portion 321, and when the rotating body 2 is turned by the user to a specific angle, the rotation limiting structure can be triggered to limit and fix the rotating set piece 32 and the fixed connecting piece 31.

[0061] The specific arrangement of the auxiliary component 3 has the beneficial effects of being simple in structure, being able to achieve fixed installation with the holding portion 12, movably installing the rotating body 2, and limiting and fixing the rotating body 2 at a specific angle.

[0062] In one embodiment, the auxiliary component 3 also includes an elastic member 33; one end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the rotating sleeve 32, and the other end is connected to the handle body 1; the elastic member 33 is used to store elastic force when the rotating sleeve 32 rotates along a first direction, and release elastic force when the rotating sleeve 32 rotates along a second direction; wherein the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions.

[0063] Specific, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 To further explain in detail, the above-mentioned elastic member 33 can be specifically but not limited to being set as a coil spring, and one end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the rotating assembly 32, and the other end is connected to the handle body 1, so that when the rotating assembly 32 rotates along a first direction (the first direction can be specifically positioned as: the direction in which the rotating body 2 rotates from a state parallel to the bottom side of the handle body 1 to a state perpendicular to the bottom side of the handle body 1), the elastic member 33 is correspondingly subjected to torsional deformation to store elastic force; when the rotating assembly 32 rotates along a second direction (the second direction can be specifically positioned as: the direction in which the rotating body 2 rotates from a state perpendicular to the bottom side of the handle body 1 to a state parallel to the bottom side of the handle body 1), the elastic member 33 correspondingly restores the torsional deformation to release the elastic force.

[0064] By arranging the above-mentioned elastic member 33 in the auxiliary component 3, the elastic deformation force of the elastic member 33 can provide assistance for the storage process of the rotating body 2, and the elastic force of the elastic member 33 can also make the storage state of the rotating body 2 have a certain self-locking stability.

[0065] In one embodiment, the fixed connector 31 has a limiting portion 312 at one end and a fixing plate 311 fixedly connected to the mounting portion 121 at the other end; the connecting portion 321 and the limiting portion 312 in the rotating assembly 32 are connected via a rotating limiting structure.

[0066] Specific, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 To further explain in detail, a limiting portion 312 is provided at one end of the fixed connecting member 31, so that the limiting portion 312 can be limitedly connected to the connecting portion 321 in the rotating sleeve 32 through a rotating limiting structure; a fixing plate 311 is provided at the other end of the fixed connecting member 31, and the fixing plate 311 can be fixedly connected to the mounting portion 121 in the handle body 1 specifically but not limited to by a screw connection.

[0067] The specific configuration of the above-mentioned fixed connection member 31 has a simple structure and can realize the functions of fixed installation and position-limiting connection through its two ends.

[0068] In one embodiment, the rotation limiting structure includes an arc-shaped limiting groove 312a and a limiting clamp 322; two arc-shaped limiting grooves 312a are arranged concentrically and spaced apart, and are opened on the side of the limiting portion 312 facing the connecting portion 321; one end of the limiting clamp 322 is connected to the side of the connecting portion 321 facing the limiting portion 312, and the other end is correspondingly inserted into the arc-shaped limiting groove 312a;

[0069] Among them, the two ends of the two arc-shaped limit grooves 312a are respectively connected with a first concave limit opening 312b and a second concave limit opening 312c; the limit clamp 322 can slide along the two arc-shaped limit grooves 312a and be limited to the first concave limit opening 312b and the second concave limit opening 312c.

[0070] Specific, combined Figure 6 To further explain in detail, the rotation limiting structure is specifically configured to be two concentrically spaced arc limiting grooves 312a opened in the limiting portion 312, which are installed on the connecting portion 321 and one end of which should be inserted into the arc limiting groove 312a, and the two ends of the two arc limiting grooves 312a are respectively connected with a first recessed limiting opening 312b and a second recessed limiting opening 312c; the limiting clamp 322 can be slidably limited to the first recessed limiting opening 312b and the second recessed limiting opening 312c along the two arc limiting grooves 312a, respectively, so that the "arc limiting groove 312a-first recessed limiting opening 312b-arc limiting groove 312a-second recessed limiting opening 312c" can form an annular recessed limiting rail groove, and the limiting clamp 322 can be moved along the Figure 6 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is used for limited sliding and stop limit.

[0071] The limiting clamp 322 can form a stop limit at both ends of the arc-shaped limiting groove 312a, corresponding to Figure 4 The first position of the middle rotation limit structure, Figure 5 The second posture of the middle rotation limiting structure.

[0072] The specific arrangement of the above-mentioned rotation limiting structure has the beneficial effects of simple structure and being able to achieve the limiting sliding and stopping limiting of the limiting clamp 322 .

[0073] In one embodiment, the limit clamp 322 includes a first segment, a second segment and a third segment connected in sequence; the first segment is vertically connected to one end of the second segment, the third segment is vertically connected to the other end of the second segment, and extends away from the first segment.

[0074] Specific, combined Figure 3Further detailed description, the limit clamp 322 is arranged to be a first section, a second section and a third section which are connected in sequence, the first section is vertically connected to one end of the second section, the third section is vertically connected to the other end of the second section, and extends away from the first section, so that the limit clamp 322 is similar to a "Z" shape as a whole, the first section can be used for plug-in assembly with the arc-shaped limit groove 312a in the limit portion 312, and the third section can be used for installation and connection with the connecting portion 321.

[0075] The specific configuration of the above-mentioned limit clamping head 322 has the beneficial effects of simple structure, convenient installation and stable limit clamping.

[0076] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 32 further includes a compression spring 323 ; the limiting clamp 322 is installed on the compression spring 323 and is correspondingly connected to the mounting boss in the connecting portion 321 .

[0077] Specific, combined Figure 6 To further explain in detail, the limit clamp 322 is installed on the compression spring 323 and is connected to the corresponding mounting boss in the connecting portion 321, so that the compression spring 323 can always apply an elastic force to the limit clamp 322 away from the connecting portion 321, that is, the limit clamp 322 always has an extrusion force to squeeze the arc-shaped limit groove 312a, thereby further improving the limit installation stability of the limit clamp 322 and the arc-shaped limit groove 312a.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the rotating body 2 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the back side of the handle body 1 ; and both rotating bodies 2 can be independently rotated around the auxiliary component 3 to be vertically supported on the handle body 1 .
