Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rockers, in particular to a Hall rocker. Background Art

[0002] A joystick is an operation control signal input device for electronic devices. Users can generate corresponding signal outputs and achieve relevant control by shaking the joystick left and right, forward and backward. For example, it can be used in game operations (of course, it can also be used in other ways), and it can achieve control of simulated characters on the computer. Joysticks are mature existing technologies, and are mainly signal triggers composed of contact-type electrical components such as contacts and other mechanical mechanisms.

[0003] For example, a joystick that only provides touch switch signals has its signal generating components mainly composed of multiple switches. Commonly used joysticks generate position signals by moving conductive contacts on carbon film resistors on the base plate. Joystick components with this structure are prone to wear or poor contact due to the use of conductive contacts and carbon film resistors, which creates a bottleneck in terms of increasing service life, reducing failure rates, and reducing noise interference. Moreover, the mechanical structure of this type of joystick is not separated from the electrical components, making it difficult to achieve dust, water, and static protection (three protections) on the base plate.

[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In order to clearly and completely describe the technical solution, the following embodiments are selected for illustration; the following embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model; based on this application, other embodiments obtained without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In the following embodiments, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top / bottom" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of clearly describing the present embodiment, rather than indicating or implying that the arrangement or element referred to must have a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. At the same time, "first" and "second" in the embodiments are only used for distinguishing description purposes, and do not represent or imply relative importance.

[0023] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the specific embodiment of the utility model is a Hall rocker, including a shell, a handle 3, a rocker assembly, a base plate 15 and a swing signal assembly. The rocker assembly is composed of a rocker shaft 4, a first linkage member 5 and a second linkage member 6, a rocker seat 9 and a reset elastic member. The shell is composed of an upper cover 1 and an outer shell 2. The swing signal assembly includes a Hall element 13 arranged on the base plate 15 and a magnetic member 7 arranged at the bottom of the rocker shaft 4. The magnetic member 7 is displaced with the movement of the rocker shaft 4 so that the magnetic field change received by the Hall element 13 can generate a position signal. The rocker shaft 4 is installed at the lower part of the handle 3 and moves with the handle 3. The magnetic member 7 moves with the action of the handle 3, and its magnetic field changes with the position. By changing the relative position with the Hall element 13, different magnetic field distributions are generated. After the Hall element 13 senses this magnetic field change, it converts it into a corresponding electrical signal output. After these electrical signals are processed and analyzed, the position information of the rocker shaft 4 can be obtained, thereby realizing the control of the device. The resetting elastic member 8 ensures that after the user stops operating, the rocker shaft 4 can automatically return to the initial position to prepare for the next operation.

[0024] The Hall element 13 in the present application is preferably a 3D Hall element 13, which is a sensor technology based on the Hall effect, which can measure the change of the magnetic field to detect the position and movement of the object, and can simultaneously measure the magnetic field strength in three directions, thereby realizing the three-dimensional magnetic field perception of the object. The magnetic part 7 of the present application is installed on the rocker shaft 4, and the bottom of the rocker shaft 4 has a receiving cavity, and the magnetic part 7 is installed in the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity protects the magnetic part 7 from the external environment and ensures that the magnetic part 7 can stably move with the rocker shaft 4.

[0025] In order to ensure the stable movement of the rocker assembly, the first linkage member 5 has connecting ends 501 at both ends, and the second linkage member 6 has connecting rods 601 at both ends. The first linkage member 5 and the second linkage member 6 are connected to each other through the connecting ends 501 and the connecting rods 601. The rocker shaft 4 is arranged between the first linkage member 5 and the second linkage member 6. The rocker seat 9 is provided with a limiting hole for limiting the connecting rod 601 of the second linkage member 6. The limiting hole is used to limit the movement range and direction of the second linkage member 6 to prevent unnecessary deviation or shaking. The user operates the handle 3 to move the first linkage member 5 accordingly. Since the first linkage member 5 and the second linkage member 6 are connected to each other through the connecting ends 501 and the connecting rod 601, the second linkage member 6 will also move accordingly.

[0026] An opening 401 is provided in the middle of the rocker shaft 4 for the first linkage 5 to pass through; a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the second linkage 6 for the rocker shaft 4 to pass through, pivot rods 402 extend from both ends of the bottom of the rocker shaft 4, and pivot holes 602 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the second linkage 6. The rocker shaft 4 is pivotally connected to the pivot holes 602 of the second linkage 6 through the pivot rods 402, so that the rocker shaft 4 can rotate or tilt freely within a certain range, and the connecting rod 601 of the second linkage abuts against the base 12.

[0027] The Hall rocker of the present application also includes a press signal component, which can be triggered to generate a confirmation signal when the handle 3 is pressed. The pressing action and the rocking action bring different signal outputs. After receiving the trigger signal, the press signal component outputs a confirmation signal, which may be used to control the activation of a function of the device, confirm the user's choice, or serve as the basis for other logical judgments.

[0028] The pressing signal assembly includes a confirmation shaft 10 installed on the base 12, a return spring 11, and a confirmation switch 14 installed on the bottom plate 15. The base 12 is provided with a positioning column 1201, and the return spring 11 is sleeved on the positioning column 1201, and is kept stable by the guiding effect of the positioning column 1201. The bottom of the confirmation shaft 10 is provided with a groove capable of installing the return spring 11, and one side of the confirmation shaft 10 extends with an abutment rod capable of abutting against the confirmation switch 14. The base 12 is provided with an avoidance hole capable of allowing the abutment rod to pass through, and the top of the confirmation shaft 10 abuts against one end 501 of the first linkage member 5. When the handle 3 is pressed, the handle 3 drives the first linkage member 5 to move downward, so that the confirmation shaft 10 triggers the confirmation switch 14 downward. When the handle 3 is released, the return spring 11 drives the confirmation shaft 10 to return upward.

[0029] As a specific embodiment 1 of the present application, the reset elastic member 8 is disposed in the rocker seat 9, and the top of the reset elastic member 8 abuts against the lower portion of the rocker shaft 4. When the user operates the rocker shaft 4, the rocker shaft 4 will tilt or rotate relative to the rocker seat 9. At this time, the reset elastic member 8 is compressed or stretched, and when the user releases the rocker shaft 4, the reset elastic member 8 returns to its original position, and abuts against the top of the lower portion of the rocker shaft 4 to push the rocker shaft 4 back to its initial position.

[0030] As a specific embodiment 2 of the present application, it also includes a bracket 16, the bracket 16 is installed on the base 12, the rocker seat 9 is arranged on the bracket 16, and the reset elastic member 8 is installed between the bracket 16 and the base 12. By introducing the bracket 16 as an intermediate connecting member, the base 12, the rocker seat 9 and the reset elastic member 8 are organically combined together to form a stable and flexible rocker assembly structure. The reset elastic member 8 is installed between the bracket 16 and the base 12, and is indirectly connected to the rocker seat 9 and the rocker shaft 4. This support structure enables the entire rocker assembly to withstand greater external forces and torques, improves its overall stability and durability, and at the same time, this connection method allows the reset elastic member 8 to transmit the restoring force while also adapting to the movement requirements of the rocker shaft 4 in different directions.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any minor modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
