Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of handle testing, in particular to a handle testing device. Background Art

[0002] A game controller is an electronic input device that allows users to control characters or game elements on a computer or game console by manipulating the buttons on the controller. Therefore, the user's comfort with button manipulation greatly affects the user's evaluation of the quality of the game controller itself. Existing product quality requirements require that the pressing force of each button on the game controller is similar. Therefore, the pressure test of the game controller before leaving the factory is a key factor in ensuring that the game controller meets production quality requirements. However, when conducting specific controller tests, operators usually use a handheld dynamometer to perform the pressure test. Since the pressure direction of the dynamometer is relatively variable when the handheld method is used for force measurement, this leads to the technical problem of unreliable test results. On the other hand, the operator is prone to muscle fatigue when performing the pressure test with a handheld dynamometer, which in turn leads to the technical problem of low test efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a handle testing device, aiming to improve the reliability of handle testing and improve the testing efficiency.

[0004] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A handle testing device includes a first screw motor, a pressing detection member, a slide rail, a second screw motor and a base;

[0006] The slide rail is mounted on the base, and the base is used to place a game controller;

[0007] The pressure detection member is fixed to the driving portion of the first screw motor; the first screw motor can drive the pressure detection member to move in a direction close to and away from the base; the pressure detection member is used to test the pressing force of the button in the game controller;

[0008] The slide rail is slidably matched with the first screw motor, the driving part of the second screw motor is fixedly connected to the first screw motor, and the second screw motor drives the press detection part to move toward the button group on the other side of the game controller through the first screw motor.

[0009] In one embodiment, the pressure detection member has an elastic contraction portion; the handle testing device further includes an alignment indicator, which is disposed close to the elastic contraction portion of the pressure detection member.

[0010] In one embodiment, the alignment indicator is a projection lamp, which can generate a projection pattern on the surface of the game controller.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first screw motor includes a first frame, a first motor, a first guide column, a first screw and a first nut; the first frame is slidably engaged with the slide rail and is fixedly connected to the driving portion of the second screw motor;

[0012] The first motor is mounted on the first frame, the first screw rod is threadedly engaged with the first nut, the first guide column is slidingly engaged with the first nut, and the first motor drives the first screw rod to rotate to drive the first nut to move along the axial direction of the first screw rod.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second screw motor includes a second motor, a second screw and a second nut; the second nut is fixedly connected to the first frame;

[0014] The second screw rod is threadably engaged with the second nut. The second motor is mounted on the base. The second motor drives the second screw rod to rotate, thereby driving the second nut to move along the axial direction of the first screw rod.

[0015] In one embodiment, a controller is further included, which is installed on the first frame. The controller is connected to the first motor, the second motor, and the pressure detection member via signals to control the pressure detection member to move along the planned path.

[0019] The technical solution of the utility model is to set a first screw motor, and the driving part of the first screw motor is connected to the pressing detection member, so that the pressing detection member can press the test game handle in a fixed direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test data and improving the reliability of the game handle quality detection. On the other hand, generally, Figure 1As shown, a game controller typically includes four directional keys on its left side and four function keys on its right side: A, B, X, and Y. Since the positions of the four directional keys and the four function keys are relatively concentrated, the use of a second lead screw motor to change the position of the press detection member in the left and right directions helps to avoid the problem of the key and the press detection member being aligned too long due to a large spatial displacement of the game controller to be tested. Therefore, the provision of the second lead screw motor shortens the test time and improves the test efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] In order to make the technical objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally located component.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0038] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a handle testing device 100 .

[0039] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle testing device 100 includes a first screw motor 110, a pressing detection member 120, a slide rail 130, a second screw motor 140 and a base 150;

[0040] The slide rail 130 is mounted on the base 150 , and the base 150 is used to place the game controller 20 ;

[0041] The pressure detection member 120 is fixed to the driving portion of the first screw motor 110; the first screw motor 110 can drive the pressure detection member 120 to move in a direction close to and away from the base 150; the pressure detection member 120 is used to test the pressure of the buttons in the game controller 20;

[0042] The slide rail 130 slides with the first screw motor 110 , the driving part of the second screw motor 140 is fixedly connected to the first screw motor 110 , and the second screw motor 140 drives the press detection part 120 to move toward the button group on the other side of the game controller 20 through the first screw motor 110 .

[0043] It is understandable that the technical solution of the present invention is to set a first screw motor 110, and the driving part of the first screw motor 110 is connected to the pressing detection member 120, so that the pressing detection member 120 presses the test game handle 20 in a fixed direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test data and improving the reliability of the quality detection of the game handle 20. On the other hand, generally, as Figure 1 As shown, the game controller 20 generally includes four directional keys 21 on its left side and four function keys 22 on its right side, namely, the A key, the B key, the X key, and the Y key. Since the positions of the four directional keys 21 and the four function keys 22 are relatively concentrated, the use of the second screw motor 140 to change the position of the press detection member 120 in the left and right directions helps to avoid the problem of the key and the press detection member 120 being aligned too long due to a large spatial displacement of the game controller 20 to be tested. Therefore, the provision of the second screw motor 140 shortens the test time and improves the test efficiency.

[0044] Therefore, the technical solution of the utility model improves the testing efficiency while improving the reliability of the game controller quality detection.

[0045] It should also be noted that when the staff conducts the button test of the game controller 20, they first place the game controller 20 to be tested on the base 150, and align the button of the game controller 20 with the press detection part 120. At this time, the first screw motor 110 is started to work, so that the screw motor works back and forth at least four times within the same stroke range. During the operation of the screw motor, the staff only needs to move the game controller 20 within a small range to complete the case test.

[0046] It should also be noted that, generally, the appearance of the game controller 20 is diverse, and the external structures of game controllers 20 of different brands are quite different. Therefore, setting the game controller to be manually moved can also improve the applicability of game controllers with different appearances.

[0047] Optionally, the pressure detection member 120 is a thrust dynamometer.

[0048] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific technical solution, the first screw motor 110 includes a first frame 111, a first motor 112, a first guide column 113, a first screw 114, and a first nut 115; the first frame 111 is slidably matched with the slide rail 130, and is fixedly connected to the driving part of the second screw motor 140;

[0049] The first motor 112 is installed on the first frame 111, the first screw rod 114 is threadedly engaged with the first nut 115, and the first guide column 113 is slidingly engaged with the first nut 115. The first motor 112 drives the first screw rod 114 to rotate, thereby driving the first nut 115 to move axially along the first screw rod 114.

[0050] Furthermore, the second screw motor 140 includes a second motor 141, a second screw 142 and a second nut 143; the second nut 143 is fixedly connected to the first frame 111;

[0051] The second screw rod 142 is threadedly engaged with the second nut 143 . The second motor 141 is mounted on the base 150 . The second motor 141 drives the second screw rod 142 to rotate, thereby driving the second nut 143 to move axially along the first screw rod 114 .

[0052] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure detection member 120 has an elastic contraction portion 121; the elastic contraction portion 121 is used to contact the button on the game controller 20.

[0053] Furthermore, an adapter 122 is provided at one end of the elastic contraction portion 121 proximal to the game controller 20. The adapter 122 is a closed ring, such as a racetrack-shaped ring, a rectangular ring, or an elliptical ring. The length of the adapter 122 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first and second lead motors 110, 140. It will be appreciated that the length of the adapter 122 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first and second lead motors 110, 140, meaning that the three constitute a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system. Therefore, the provision of the adapter 122 can compensate for errors caused by the user moving the game controller 20 within a small range, allowing the elastic contraction portion 121 to more stably and effectively squeeze the buttons.

[0054] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown, when the user tests the directional keys 21 of the game controller 20, for the left and right directional keys, the second screw motor 140 can be used to compensate for displacement within a small range. For the up and down keys, the adapter can be used to compensate for the displacement direction of the up and down keys, thereby further improving the testing efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, the adapter 122 is adhesively connected to the elastic contraction portion 121 .

[0056] Optionally, the adapter 122 is made of elastic rubber.

[0057] It can also be understood that the provision of the adapter 122 can also be used to protect the elastic contraction portion 121 and avoid rigid collision between the elastic contraction portion 121 and the game controller 20 .

[0058] Further, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle testing device 100 further includes an alignment indicator 160 , which is disposed close to the elastic contraction portion 121 of the press detection member 120 .

[0059] It can be understood that the alignment indicator 160 prompts the staff to the verticality of the elastic contraction part 121 and the button, thereby guiding the staff to adjust the position of the game handle 20 within a small range.

[0060] Optionally, the alignment indicator 160 is a flexibly retractable sleeve structure.

[0061] Optionally, the alignment indicator 160 is a visible laser.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the alignment indicator 160 is a projection lamp, which can generate a projection pattern on the surface of the game controller 20 .

[0063] It is understandable that due to the limitations of the force measurement principle of the pressure detection member 120, it is costly to install the alignment indicator 160 directly below the pressure portion. Therefore, the alignment indicator 160 is usually installed on the side of the elastic contraction portion 121. Furthermore, a projection light is provided to generate a projected pattern on the surface of the game controller 20, and the operator can determine the position of the button that needs to be moved based on the pattern information.

[0064] Optionally, the projection pattern is an arrow or a triangle.

[0065] Please refer to the figure Figure 3In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the handle testing device 100 further includes a controller 170, which is mounted on the first frame 111. The controller 170 is connected to the first motor 112, the second motor 141, and the press detection member 120 by signal to control the press detection member 120 to move along the planned path. It can be understood that when the test data fed back by the press detection member 120 is abnormal, the first motor 112 or the second motor 141 can act accordingly, thereby improving the safety during the test. After the first motor 112 has worked for a certain period of time, the first motor 112 feeds back the signal to the second motor 141 through the controller 170 to work, thereby realizing the automatic control of the handle testing device 100 and improving the testing efficiency of the game controller 20.

[0066] See also Figure 2 The base 150 is also provided with a first limiting member 151 and a second limiting member 152. The distance between the first limiting member 151 and the second limiting member 152 is greater than the length of the test handle, and the setting direction of the first limiting member 151 and the second limiting member 152 is perpendicular to the direction of the slide rail 130.

[0067] It can be understood that the setting of the first limiter 151 and the second limiter 152 is to improve the alignment efficiency of the button and the press detection member 120. Specifically, when the staff is positioning the game handle 20 for the first time, they only need to place the test handle close to the first limiter 151, and then adjust the specific position of the button within a small range along the length direction of the first limiter 151 according to the real-time position of the press detection member 120. Similarly, the setting of the second limiter 152 can also improve the alignment efficiency of the button and the press detection member 120. Specifically, after the press detection member 120 is driven by the second screw motor 140 and moves to the preset position, the staff can first abut the game handle 20 against the second limiter 152, and further, adjust the specific position of the button within a small range along the length direction of the second limiter 152 according to the real-time position of the press detection member 120; thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0068] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the base 150 is further provided with a bracket 153 for placing or mounting the terminal 30 of the game controller 20. It is understood that when testing the game controller 20, it is often necessary to connect a terminal 30 compatible with the game controller 20, such as a mobile phone, computer, or tablet. Therefore, the provision of the bracket 153 can improve the cleanliness of the base 150, thereby improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0069] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
