Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a game handle button, in particular to a floating and sinking mechanism for a game handle button. Background Art

[0002] At present, the floating and sinking structure of the existing game handle buttons adopts a manual switch mode. For example, the back button locking structure disclosed in the utility model with the Chinese patent publication number CN 220404792 U and the name of "a back button locking structure and a game handle" includes a first limiting part, a second limiting part, a third limiting part and a toggle. The first limiting part and the second limiting part have a first matching position and a second matching position. The user can drive the back button lock body to slide by toggling the toggle. When the first limiting part and the second limiting part are in the first matching position, the third limiting part is connected to the back button to lock the back button, that is, the back button cannot stretch relative to the shell and the end face of the second end of the back button is flush with the outer surface of the shell, which can prevent the player from accidentally touching the back button. And when the back button is in the locked state, the back button is flush with the outer surface of the game handle, avoiding the player feeling uncomfortable with the back button cutting the hand during use and improving the user's game experience and pleasure. When the first limiting part and the second limiting part are in the second matching position, the third limiting part is separated from the back button to unlock the back button, that is, the back button can stretch relative to the shell. However, the button floating and sinking formed by this structure only has two gears of completely sinking or completely floating, and at the same time, it also needs to manually toggle the switch to control, which is relatively inconvenient. Therefore, developing a floating and sinking mechanism for game handle buttons and improving the accuracy of magnet movement have become problems that need to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

A motor is provided at the bottom of the button module. A threaded hole is provided on the button module. A threaded socket is installed in the threaded hole. The threaded socket is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The rotation of the motor drives the button body to rise and fall.

[0005] Further, a guiding structure is provided between the button module and the game handle shell.

[0006] Further, a positioning bayonet is provided on the button module, and a positioning card plate is installed at the positioning bayonet. A positioning protrusion for clamping the positioning bayonet is provided on the positioning card plate, and a manual toggle is provided on the positioning card plate.

[0007] Further, the positioning protrusion has a stepped structure, forming multiple gears.

[0008] Further, the button module includes a housing, a PCB board, and a keycap / joystick cap. The PCB board is installed on the housing, and a button / joystick potentiometer corresponding to the position of the keycap is provided on the PCB board.

[0009] The advantages of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: The present utility model can realize the floating adjustment of the function keys or joystick keys of the game handle, which is convenient to control the lifting or sinking height of the buttons according to the individual needs of players.

[0018] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a game controller key sinking and floating mechanism includes a key module, the key module includes a shell 1, a PCB board 2 and a key cap 3, the PCB board 2 is provided with a connecting line 8 connected to the game controller main control circuit board, the PCB board 2 is installed on the shell 1, and the PCB board 2 is provided with a key 4 corresponding to the position of the key cap 3, the key 4 is an "ABXY key group" including multiple keys in the game controller, a motor 5 is provided at the bottom of the key module, a threaded hole 6 is provided on the shell 1 of the key module, a threaded sleeve 7 is provided in the threaded hole 6, the threaded sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5, and the rotation of the motor 5 drives the main body of the key 4 to rise and fall.

[0020] When working, the motor 5 in the utility model is installed and connected to the main control circuit board of the game controller, and the main control circuit board is provided with a motor 5 control key (which can be a multi-speed control knob, or a plurality of buttons 4 with different gears, etc.), and the button module of the utility model is docked with the output shaft of the motor 5 through the threaded sleeve 7, and the button 4 key cap 3 and the button 4 hole of the game controller housing 1 form a guiding effect. When the motor 5 rotates, the entire button module can be raised and lowered to achieve the sinking and floating effect of the game controller button 4. In addition, the button module can be raised and lowered to the required height according to the individual needs of the player.

[0021] In order to further stabilize the lifting and lowering of the button module, a guide structure is provided between the button module and the game controller housing 1. Specifically, a guide column is provided on the game controller housing 1, and a guide hole is provided on the button module, and the two cooperate to ensure stable lifting and lowering of the button module. Alternatively, a guide groove is provided on the game controller housing 1, and the button module is installed as a whole in the guide groove.

[0022] In order to prevent the player from exerting too much force and affecting the stability of the output shaft of the motor 5, a positioning socket 9 is provided on the button module, and a positioning card plate 10 is installed at the positioning socket 9. The positioning card plate 10 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11 for clamping the positioning socket 9. The positioning protrusion 11 is in a stepped structure to form a plurality of gears. The positioning card plate 10 is provided with a manual dial button 12. When in use, when the motor 5 drives the button module to rise to the required height, the "manual dial button 12" is manually dialed to drive the positioning card plate 10 to fix the housing 1 of the button module. At this time, the positioning card plate 10 bears the pressing force when the button 4 is operated, and does not affect the stability of the output shaft of the motor 5.
