[0033] Embodiment 1
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 Embodiment 1 of the utility model is: a foldable and stretchable game controller, comprising a connecting part 1 and two operating parts 2, the operating parts 2 are provided with operational components 3 such as buttons and joysticks, the connecting part 1 is located between the two operating parts 2, the operating part 2 comprises a shell 21, a telescopic arm 22 and a reset member 23, the reset member 23 connects the telescopic arm 22 and the shell 21 to drive the telescopic arm 22 to slide in the contraction direction, and the first end of the telescopic arm 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 1 through a shaft 221.
[0035] In this embodiment, the reset member 23 is a coil spring, and a receiving cavity for accommodating the coil spring is provided in the housing 21. The wall of the receiving cavity has a through hole for the coil spring to pass through. In other embodiments, the reset member 23 can also be a tension spring or other elastic structure.
[0036] In order to further reduce the space occupied by the game controller when it is stored, optionally, the rotation angle range of the operating portion 2 relative to the connecting portion 1 is 0°-90°, that is, when the game controller is in the stored state, the telescopic arm 22 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the connecting portion 1. Of course, when the game controller is in the stored state, it is also acceptable for the angle between the telescopic arm 22 and the connecting portion 1 to be greater than 90°.
[0037] In a specific product, a decorative light 4 may be provided on the housing 21 to improve the aesthetics of the game controller. Preferably, the decorative light 4 is provided close to the operational component 3 on the operating portion 2, so that the decorative light 4 can also play a role of supplementary light for the operational component 3, allowing the user to more accurately control the operational component 3, which is conducive to enhancing the user's experience to a greater extent. In order to reasonably arrange the decorative light 4, optionally, the decorative light 4 is in an arc shape as a whole.
[0038] In order to enable the telescopic arm 22 and the connecting part 1 to maintain a relative angle when the game controller is in different states, a limiting protrusion 222 is provided at the first end of the telescopic arm 22, and a limiting boss 11 is provided in the connecting part 1. The limiting protrusion 222 cooperates with the limiting boss 11 to keep the telescopic arm 22 and the connecting part 1 in a folded state or an unfolded state.
[0039] Of course, the limiting protrusion 222 may also be disposed on the shaft member 221 . In this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 222 is disposed at the end of the shaft member 221 .
[0040] In order to facilitate processing and assembly, it is preferred that the shaft 221 and the telescopic arm 22 are integrally processed and formed into an integrated structure.
[0041] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 222 has two contact areas, when one of the contact areas contacts the limiting boss 11, the telescopic arm 22 and the connection part 1 remain in a folded state, and when the other contact area contacts the limiting boss 11, the telescopic arm 22 and the connection part 1 remain in an expanded state. At this time, the limiting protrusion 222 as a whole can be in a quarter sector shape. In this embodiment, there are two limiting protrusions 222, when one of the limiting protrusions 222 contacts the limiting boss 11, the telescopic arm 22 and the connection part 1 remain in a folded state, and when the other of the limiting protrusions 222 contacts the limiting boss 11, the telescopic arm 22 and the connection part 1 remain in an expanded state.
[0042] The connecting portion 1 is provided with an axial hole for the shaft member 221 to pass through, and the shaft member 221 is sleeved with an elastic ring 223, and the outer wall surface of the elastic ring 223 contacts the inner wall of the axial hole. When the limiting protrusion 222 interferes with the limiting boss 11, the elastic ring 223 can be deformed. After the telescopic arm 22 rotates to the preset position, the elastic ring 223 restores the deformation, which effectively reduces the interference and wear between the limiting protrusion 222 and the limiting boss 11, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the limiting boss 11 and the limiting protrusion 222, thereby reducing the service life of the rotating mechanism of the game controller.
[0043] Preferably, the limiting protrusion 222 and / or the limiting boss 11 has a guiding arc surface, and the setting of the guiding arc surface can better guide the elastic ring 223 to deform, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the telescopic arm 22. The material of the elastic ring 223 can be silicone or the like.
[0044] The connecting portion 1 includes a bottom shell 12, a middle frame 13, a surface shell 14 and an elastic member 15. The bottom shell 12 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 13 and encloses the axial hole. The limiting boss 11 is arranged on the bottom shell 12 or the middle frame 13. The surface shell 14 can be floatingly connected to the middle frame 13 or the bottom shell 12. One end of the elastic member 15 contacts the surface shell 14, and the other end of the elastic member 15 contacts the middle frame 13 or the bottom shell 12. The elastic member 15 is a spring leaf, a rubber pad, a compression spring, a torsion spring or other elastic structures.
[0045] The floatable surface shell 14 can tightly hold the electronic device clamped between the two operating parts 2, can provide support for the electronic device and adapt to electronic devices of different thicknesses, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the game controller.
[0046] The housing 21 includes a connected handle 211 and an extension arm 212, the extension arm 212 is a hollow structure, the second end of the telescopic arm 22 is inserted into the extension arm 212, the operational component 3 and the decorative light 4 are respectively arranged on the handle 211. In an actual product, a control panel 5 electrically connected to the operational component 3 and the decorative light 4 is provided in the handle 211.
[0047] Preferably, when the foldable and stretchable game controller is in the storage state, the second end of the telescopic arm 22 extends into the handle 211, which can reduce the space occupied by the game controller in the storage state to a greater extent.
[0048] In order to allow the two operating parts 2 to better clamp the electronic device, the handle 211 is connected to some of the extension arms 212 and is provided with limiting edges 213. There is a limiting space between the limiting edges 213 and the extension arms 212, and the limiting space is used to limit the edge of the electronic device.
[0049] Optionally, an external interface 6 is provided on one side of the handle 211 of the operating part 2 close to the connecting part 1, and the external interface 6 is electrically connected to the control board 5. The external interface 6 can be a USB interface, a Type-C interface, or other types of interface.
[0050] The above are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
