[0044] See also Figure 4 and 5 In one embodiment of the utility model, the rocker device 10 includes a housing 100 , a support member 200 , a rocker 300 , a reset member 400 , a Hall sensor assembly 500 and a circuit board 600 .

[0045] The support member 200 is arranged in the shell 100, and the support member 200 and the shell 100 surround a cavity 11 with an opening on one side; the rocker 300 includes a rod body 310 and a skirt 320 arranged on the rod body 310, and the skirt 320 is movably arranged in the cavity 11 from the opening; the rod body 310 has an operating end 311 and a sensing end 312 arranged opposite to each other along its axial direction, the sensing end 312 is arranged in the shell 100, and the operating end 311 is passed through the support member 200 and extends to the shell 100. The housing 100 is provided with a reset member 400, which is provided in the cavity 11 and surrounds the support member 200, and the reset member 400 also abuts against the side of the skirt 320 away from the rod body 310; the Hall sensor assembly 500 includes a Hall element 510 and a magnet 520, and the magnet 520 is provided at the sensing end 312 of the rod body 310; the circuit board 600 is provided in the housing 100, and the Hall element 510 corresponds to the position of the magnet 520, is provided on the circuit board 600, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 600.

[0046] Working principle: The Hall effect sensor in the joystick device 10 detects the user's operation on the joystick 300, mainly the movement of the joystick 300 in at least one direction of the X, Y and Z axes. When the user moves the joystick 300, the position and angle of the magnet 520 change accordingly. This change causes the magnetic field detected by the Hall sensor to change. The Hall element 510 detects the change in the magnetic field based on the Hall effect principle and generates a corresponding voltage signal. The magnitude and direction of this voltage signal are proportional to the change in the magnetic field. The voltage signal generated by the Hall element 510 (Hall sensor) is transmitted to the processor on the electronic control board. The processor converts these signals into digital signals or analog signals, indicating the specific position and angle of the joystick 300. The processor outputs the converted signals to the main control board of the corresponding control system or device to perform corresponding operations, such as moving the cursor, controlling the robot, adjusting the viewing angle in the game, etc.

[0047] The housing 100 mainly protects the internal electronic components and provides mechanical support. In order to facilitate the installation of various components, the housing 100 includes a base 110 and an upper shell 120, and the base 110 and the upper shell 120 are detachably connected.

[0048] Regarding the rocker 300, the rocker 300 includes a rod body 310 and a skirt 320 provided on the rod body 310. The skirt 320 is movably provided in the cavity 11 from the opening. The skirt 320 is usually provided in an annular shape, and the cavity 11 is usually also an annular cavity 11. The rod body 310 has a manipulation end 311 and a sensing end 312 which are arranged opposite to each other along its axial direction. The sensing end 312 is provided in the housing 100, and the manipulation end 311 is extended out of the housing 100. The manipulation end 311 is a dialing end of the user.

[0049] Regarding the reset member 400, the reset member 400 is to reset the rocker 300 to the initial position after the user completes the action of toggling the rocker 300 and releases the rocker 300. The initial position is the default position set by the rocker device 10. The reset member 400 can be a tension spring connected end to end, or an annular rubber ring, etc. The annular rubber ring usually requires sufficient elastic force, so the reset member 400 is preferably a tension spring connected end to end, which has the advantages of simple installation and the like.

[0050] The circuit board 600, also called a printed circuit board 600 (PCB for short), is a supporting base for electronic components and is used in electronic devices to achieve electrical connection and signal transmission between electronic components.

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention uses the improved arrangement of the support member 200 and the rocker 300, and cooperates with the Hall sensor assembly 500, and can input position information through the rocker device 10 without the need for upper and lower rocker arms. The present invention omits the structure of the upper and lower rocker arms, simplifies the structure of the rocker device 10, and makes the overall thickness of the rocker device 10 smaller.

[0052] In one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a base 110 and an upper housing 120, the circuit board 600 is disposed on the base 110, the inner wall of the upper housing 120 is a concave arc surface, the side of the support member 200 close to the upper housing 120 is a convex arc surface, and the operating end 311 is disposed through the upper housing 120. The group portion has a first surface and a second surface that are disposed oppositely, the first surface is adapted to the shape of the upper housing 120, and the second surface is adapted to the shape of the support member 200. In this way, the skirt 320 of the rocker 300 can better fit the shape of the cavity 11, reduce the gap between the rocker 300 and the housing 100, and between the rocker 300 and the support member 200, and further reduce the volume of the rocker device 10.
