[0025] In the prior art, as an important input device for video games, the design of game control handles has evolved through multiple stages, from the initial basic button operations to the current products with various functions and high customization. However, despite the existence of various styles of game handles on the market, most handles still appear relatively monotonous, lacking sufficient visual appeal and personalized expression. Traditional game handles often only focus on basic functions such as button layout and operation feel, and are unable to generate more diverse interactive experiences with players, making it difficult to meet players' pursuit of personalization and visual enjoyment, and reducing the fun and immersion of the game.
[0026] As Figure 1-2 shown, the present utility model proposes a game handle housing structure, including a handle housing. Inside the handle housing is a first installation cavity for installing the electronic components of the game handle. The game handle housing structure proposed by the present utility model further includes an upper cover body 11 installed on the front of the handle housing and having the same contour as the front of the handle housing. The upper cover body 11 is made of transparent or semi-transparent material, and a second accommodation cavity is formed between the upper cover body 11 and the front of the handle housing. A flowing sand material is placed in the second accommodation cavity.
[0027] The handle housing specifically includes: an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. The edges of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are spliced to form a first installation cavity for installing the electronic components 3 of the handle. An upper cover body 11 is provided above the upper housing 1. The upper cover body 11 has the same contour as the front of the handle housing and covers the outside of the front of the upper housing 1. The upper cover body 11 is made of transparent or semi-transparent material, and the joint between the upper housing 1 and the upper cover body 11 is sealed, and a second accommodation cavity is formed inside for accommodating the flowing sand material. The electronic components arranged in the first installation cavity include the circuit board, chip, battery and other electrical components required for the handle, and all can be arranged in the first installation cavity.
[0028] The joint between the upper housing 1 and the upper cover body 11 is ultrasonically sealed, and glue is also applied at the sealed part.
[0029] The middle part of the upper housing bulges upward and extends outward relative to the left and right sides to form a holding part for the user to hold by hand. The middle part of the lower housing is concave downward, and a holding part corresponding to the upper housing is provided. The outer edges of the upper housing and the lower housing are correspondingly spliced, and a first installation cavity is formed in the middle.
[0030] The middle part of the upper cover body bulges upward and the upper cover body can cover the outside of the front of the upper housing. The upper cover body is sealed with the edge of the upper housing and there is a space in the middle to form a second accommodation cavity.
[0031] The flowing sand material contained in the second accommodating cavity can flow under the use of the handle, forming a unique touch and enhancing the user experience. The designs of the first installation cavity and the second accommodating cavity make the structure of the handle clearer, facilitating production and maintenance. When it is necessary to replace electronic components or maintain the flowing sand material, the corresponding cavities can be conveniently opened for operation. Moreover, the sealing design between the upper cover body and the upper shell effectively prevents the flowing sand material from leaking into the area of electronic components, avoiding potential safety hazards such as short circuits.
[0032] The upper cover body 11 is made of a transparent material, enabling users to see the flowing sand material in the second accommodating cavity. The transparent material can be materials such as acrylic or PC plastic.
[0033] The different colors, flowing speeds, shapes, etc. of the flowing sand material can be customized according to user needs, meeting the personalized needs of users. On the basis of the touch, the visual effect is enhanced, having sufficient visual attraction and enabling more diversified interactive experiences with players.
[0034] A reserved hole is provided at the second accommodating cavity for pouring the flowing sand material. After pouring the flowing sand material, the reserved hole is sealed by ultrasonic waves or glue to prevent the flowing sand material from flowing out. Other sealing methods can also be used, such as rubber stoppers, etc.
[0035] At least one LED lamp bead is provided in the first installation cavity, and the light-emitting end of the LED lamp bead faces outside the first installation cavity. In addition to better touch, the game handle using the game handle housing structure also adds a lighting effect.
[0036] Multiple button mounting positions are provided on the front of the handle housing for mounting buttons. The tops of the buttons pass through the upper cover body. The upper shell 1 is provided with multiple button reserved holes as button mounting positions for mounting buttons, and the bottoms of the buttons are movably connected to the button mounting positions. The upper cover body 11 is provided with multiple button passing holes corresponding to the button reserved holes on the upper shell 1, enabling the tops of the buttons to pass through the button passing holes and movably pass through the upper cover body 11, and the operator can press the buttons. The multiple button mounting positions correspond to multiple buttons, and the multiple buttons are respectively: a cursor movement button 5 for moving the cursor, a menu button for selecting a menu, and an option button 6 for selecting an option. The cursor movement button 5 is arranged at the lower left of the handle housing, the menu button for selecting a menu is arranged in the middle of the handle housing structure, and the option button 6 is arranged at the upper right of the handle housing (as Figure 2 shown, with the handle housing placed upright).
[0037] According to the actual situation, there can also be various other buttons, such as a sound button, etc. Moreover, the shape of the button mounting position is not limited, and it changes according to the actual shape of the button. The bottoms of the buttons are all press-connected to the electronic components in the first installation cavity.
[0038] The front of the handle housing is provided with at least one rocker installation position for installing a rocker, and the top of the rocker penetrates through the upper cover body.
