[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Figures 1 - 3 The schematic diagram of the whole structure of a foldable game handle of the utility model is shown in FIG. Figures 1 - 3, A folding game controller according to this embodiment includes a controller body composed of a left controller base 100 and a right controller base 110. At both ends of the junction part between the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110, there are rotating shafts 120 respectively. Two corresponding rotating shafts 120 on each side jointly rotatably hinge an ear plate 200. At one end of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110, there is a positioning pin slot 130 located below the rotating shaft 120. A pin bolt assembly 300 is provided on one of the ear plates 200, which can be inserted into and positioned in the positioning pin slot 130 to prevent the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 from freely rotating. A first magnetic strip block 400 is provided on the front surface of the left controller base 100, and a second magnetic strip block 410 corresponding to the first magnetic strip block 400 and magnetically attracting it is provided on the front surface of the right controller base 110.
[0026] The front surfaces of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 respectively have a control area 140. The tail end edges of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 also have a controller extension section 150. It can be understood that the control areas 140 on the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 respectively correspond to the left and right control keys, monitors, etc. on a conventional game controller. At the same time, the controller extension sections 150 on both sides of the controller can improve the user's human-machine cooperation and comfort, enabling the hand to better grasp and operate the controller. The bottoms of the two ear plates 200 are jointly connected to a bottom plate 210, and the upper part of the bottom plate 210 abuts against the bottoms of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110. Among them, the width of the bottom plate 210 and the ear plates 200 is less than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110. When in use, after the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 are fully unfolded, the two controller bases are just in a horizontal state under the limitation of the bottom plate 210, and at the same time, it is convenient for the pin bolt assembly 300 to be quickly docked and installed with the positioning pin slot 130, and the bottom plate 210 further improves the stability of the connection part of the two controllers on both sides. In addition, it can be understood that after the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 are folded, the width of the bottom plate 210 and the ear plates 200 should not be greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the left controller base 100 and the right controller base 110 to avoid increasing the thickness of the folded controller.
[0027] The bolt assembly 300 includes a pull plate 310 abutted against the outer side of an ear plate 200, bolt rods 320 fixed to both ends of the inner side surface of the pull plate 310 and inserted and matched with the inner side of the positioning pin slots 130, a positioning disk 330 fixed to the outer peripheral side of the bolt rods 320 and close to the handle base, and a spring 340 sleeved on the outer side of the bolt rods 320 and having one end abutted against the positioning disk 330; an avoidance hole 220 corresponding to the outer peripheral side of the spring 340 is further provided on the inner side of the ear plate 200, and the other end of the spring 340 abuts against the inner end of the avoidance hole 220. A positioning round hole 230 penetrating through the outer side of the ear plate 200 and corresponding to the bolt rods 320 is further provided on one side of the avoidance hole 220. When the game handle needs to be unfolded, the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 can be directly flipped by 180°. When the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 are completely flattened, the front end of the bolt rod 320 is disengaged from the restraint of the handle base, and automatically inserted into the positioning pin slots 130 under the action of the spring 340, the positioning disk 330, etc., so as to complete the unfolding and fixing of the game handle. When it needs to be folded up, the bolt rods 320 on both sides can be pulled outwards through the pull plate 310 to disengage them from the positioning pin slots 130, so that the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 can be flipped and folded. The structure and operation are simple, and the structural stability is good.
[0028] The first magnetic strip block 400 is fitted and installed on the front surface of the left handle base 100, and a groove for fitting and matching with the second magnetic strip block 410 is provided on the upper part of the left handle base 100. At the same time, the first magnetic strip block 400 and the second magnetic strip block 410 are located at the junction of the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110. A rubber pad 420 is further provided on the inner side of the first magnetic strip block 400; wherein, after the first magnetic strip block 400 and the second magnetic strip block 410 are fitted and attracted to each other, the distance between the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 is greater than the protruding thickness of the control keys on the handle base, so as to prevent the performance degradation or damage of the control keys caused by continuous extrusion, and the adjacent first magnetic strip block 400 and the second magnetic strip block 410 can prevent interference with the user's hand during gaming. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the game handle needs to be folded up, the pull plate 310 can be pulled outwards immediately to disengage the bolt rods 320 from the restraint of the positioning pin slots 130, and then the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 can be flipped and folded. After folding, the two handle bases can be firmly attached together under the cooperation of the first magnetic strip block 400 and the second magnetic strip block 410, avoiding free unfolding during carrying and transportation. After folding, the problems of large volume and inconvenience in carrying brought by the traditional fixed handle can be effectively reduced, and the normal operation experience of the handle will not be affected.
[0029] In summary, for a folding game controller according to this embodiment, when it is necessary to fold and retract the game controller, the pull plate 310 can be immediately pulled outwards, so that the pin 320 is released from the restraint of the positioning pin groove 130, and then the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 are flipped and folded. After folding, with the cooperation of the first magnetic strip block 400 and the second magnetic strip block 410, the two handle bases can be firmly attached together, avoiding automatic unfolding during carrying and transportation. After folding, it can effectively reduce the problems of large volume and inconvenience in carrying brought by traditional fixed controllers. When unfolding, the left handle base 100 and the right handle base 110 can be directly flipped 180° to complete automatic positioning, and the operation is simple.
