In addition, the game controller body needs to be disassembled for replacement, which is complicated to operate and is not conducive to players replacing key components. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the key head in the key device needs to protrude from the key hole, resulting in poor sealing and inconvenient replacement, the present application provides a game key module and a game controller thereof.

[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a game button module that adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A game button module includes:

[0007] A button bottom shell having a through hole;

[0008] The key assembly is arranged on one side of the key bottom shell, and includes a key housing and a connecting rod, wherein the key housing is fixed on the key bottom shell, and the connecting rod can move relative to the key housing;

[0009] The switch assembly is arranged on the other side of the key bottom shell and comprises a switch element. The switch element is arranged in the through hole. When the key assembly is pressed, the connecting rod presses the switch element.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the button assembly and the switch assembly are respectively arranged on both sides of the button bottom shell, and the button assembly and the switch assembly are connected through the through hole on the button bottom shell, so that the connection between the button and the switch does not require a large connection hole, and the through hole can be covered by the button assembly to improve the sealing of the button module, and the non-contact button assembly and switch assembly make the replacement of the button assembly more convenient.

[0011] Optionally, the button assembly further includes a first magnet, which is disposed in the button bottom shell, and the switch assembly further includes a second magnet, which can be adsorbed with the first magnet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the key assembly and the key bottom shell are fixed by the first magnet, so that the key assembly can be easily separated from the key bottom shell, which is conducive to quick disassembly and convenient replacement. The second magnet can provide additional magnetic force from the other side of the key bottom shell to enhance the adsorption capacity of the first magnet, and the second magnet can eliminate the fixing device of the switch assembly and facilitate disassembly, thereby making the assembly of the key module more convenient.

[0013] Optionally, the button assembly further includes a spring and a button cap, wherein the button cap is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod and is arranged between the button cap and the button housing.

[0015] Optionally, the button housing further has a limiting ring, which is arranged between the spring and the connecting rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit ring can limit the movement range of the connecting rod on the inside and outside respectively, and fix the position of the spring, thereby avoiding the dislocation of the connecting rod or the spring during continuous pressing of the key module, avoiding contact failure and inability to reset, etc., and further ensuring the operational stability of the key module.

[0017] Optionally, the button bottom shell further has a limiting groove, and the button shell further has a limiting block, and the limiting groove fits with the limiting block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, since the key assembly is only fixed by the first magnet and the key bottom shell, and the first magnet can only be fixed by adsorption but cannot fix the rotation position of the key assembly, the rotation direction of the key assembly is limited by providing a limit groove and a limit block to ensure the stable operation of the key module.

[0019] Optionally, the switch assembly further includes a PCB board, and the PCB board is connected to the switch element.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the PCB board is used to receive the electrical signal formed by the switch element, thereby transmitting the signal formed by the key module to the receiving device, so that the operation of the key module proceeds smoothly.

[0021] Optionally, the switch assembly further includes a bracket, which is disposed on the other side of the key bottom shell, and the second magnet is mounted on the bracket.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the second magnet needs to adsorb the switch assembly to improve the adsorption force and enhance the stability of the installation of the switch assembly. The bracket can fix the second magnet to enhance the overall stability of the switch assembly.

[0023] In a second aspect, the present application provides a game controller that adopts the following technical solution:

[0024] A game controller uses the above-mentioned game button module.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution and using the above button module, the button module can be quickly removed and installed on the game controller, and the sealing of the button module can be guaranteed, so that external debris will not enter the interior of the game controller through the through hole.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. The key assembly and the switch assembly are connected through the through hole on the key bottom shell, so that the connection between the key and the switch does not require a large connection hole, and the key assembly can be used to cover the through hole to improve the sealing of the key module, and the non-contact key assembly and switch assembly make the replacement of the key assembly more convenient;

[0028] 2. The key assembly and the key bottom shell are fixed by the first magnet, so that the key assembly can be easily separated from the key bottom shell, which is conducive to quick disassembly and convenient replacement.

[0029] 3. The key cap is fixedly connected to the connecting rod to provide a larger force-bearing area for pressing the connecting rod, making the key module easier to press. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod and clamped between the key cap and the key housing, so that the connecting rod can be under the action of the spring without external force and does not contact the switch element, thereby ensuring sensitive control of the key module.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The key assembly 2 includes a key housing 21, a first magnet 22, a connecting rod 23, a key cap 24 and a spring 25. A magnet slot 211 is provided inside the key housing 21, and the first magnet 22 is fixed in the magnet slot 211. The key assembly 2 is firmly fixed on the key bottom shell 1 by magnetic force, and the key assembly 2 and the key bottom shell 1 are separated by directly pulling up the key assembly 2, so that the key assembly 2 can be quickly installed and removed.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the key cap 24, which is installed in the key housing 21 by buckles. When the key cap 24 is pressed, the connecting rod 23 can move relative to the key housing 21. The key housing 21 is provided with a limiting ring 212 around the connecting rod 23. The outer side of the limiting ring 212 is sleeved with a spring 25. One side of the spring 25 abuts against the key housing 21 and the other side abuts against the key cap 24, so that the key cap 24 and the connecting rod 23 can lift the connecting rod 23 under the action of the spring 25 without external force. The limiting ring 212 is used to limit the moving direction of the connecting rod 23 in the key housing 21, and can also fix the position of the spring 25 to prevent the spring from deflecting during compression or extension, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the key action.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The key bottom shell 1 is also provided with a limiting groove 12, and the key housing 21 is also provided with a limiting block 213. The limiting block 213 can be fitted and inserted into the limiting groove 12, so that the key component 2 is adsorbed and fixed on the key bottom shell 1, and the movement of the key component 2 on the surface of the key bottom shell 1 can be limited, so that the key component 2 can be stably fixed.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the switch assembly 3 is located on the other side of the key bottom shell 1, and the switch assembly 3 includes a switch element 31, and the pressing portion of the switch element 31 is installed in the through hole 11, so that when the key assembly 2 is pressed, the connecting rod 23 can trigger the switch element 31. The switch assembly 3 also includes a second magnet 32, a PCB board 33 and a bracket 34, the bracket 34 is fixed on the back of the key bottom shell 1, the second magnet 32 ​​is installed on the bracket 34, the switch element 31 is installed on the PCB board 33, and the PCB board 33 is installed on the bracket 34, so that the switch element 31, the second magnet 32 ​​and the PCB board 33 are fixed together on the back of the key bottom shell 1, and the second magnet 32 ​​can form a strong adsorption force with the first magnet 22 to ensure a stable connection between the key assembly 2 and the switch assembly 3. Through this magnetic adsorption method, not only the overall stability of the key module is improved, but also the switch assembly 3 can be quickly disassembled and separated for easy replacement.

[0043] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the player presses the button cap 24, the connecting rod 23 moves down and presses the switch element 31, thereby triggering the corresponding electrical signal. After releasing the button, the restoring force of the spring 25 pushes the button cap 24 and the connecting rod 23 back to their original positions, preparing for the next press. The first magnet 22 can form adsorption with the button bottom shell 1, and can also be adsorbed with the second magnet 32 ​​on the other side of the button bottom shell 1, ensuring the stable installation of the button assembly 2, and can also be quickly installed and removed during installation and removal.

[0044] This embodiment discloses a game controller, which is characterized by using the game button module as described in the above embodiment. Since the game controller adopts a new game button module, it has significant advantages in assembly, disassembly, stability and service life of the button. In particular, when the game controller needs to include multiple button modules, each module can be quickly and firmly connected through the first magnet and the corresponding second magnet, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency and overall structural strength of the game controller.

[0045] The embodiments of this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
