[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of distinguishing two non-identical entities or non-identical parameters with the same name. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this one by one.

[0029] The directional and positional terms used in this invention, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "top," "bottom," and "side," are used solely to refer to the directions or positions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are intended to illustrate and facilitate understanding of this invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 11 The figure shows an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a joystick 1 and a housing 2; one end of the joystick 1 extends into the housing 2 to form a driving end, and the other end is located outside the housing 2 to form a manipulation end;

[0031] The housing 2 is provided with a slider 4 and a circuit mechanism. The slider 4 is rotatably limited in the housing 2 and cooperates with the driving end so that it can be driven to rotate through the operating end. The housing 2 is provided with a fan-shaped motion space for the slider 4 to rotate.

[0032] It can be understood that the fan-shaped motion occupies less motion space than the linear motion, which can reduce the volume of the entire operating switch.

[0033] The slider 4 includes a hinged portion hinged to the housing 2, a matching portion connected to the driving end, and a switch action portion connected to the circuit structure. The hinged portion and the switch action portion are located on both sides of the matching portion.

[0034] The hinge portion is a circular structure 41 with a circular hole, the mating portion is a fan-shaped structure 42 with a fan-shaped hole, the switch action portion is a contact 43, the circuit mechanism includes a conductive track 224, and the contact 43 slides along the conductive track 224 in the circuit mechanism;

[0035] The slider includes a first connecting rod 412 and a second connecting rod 431. The circular structure 41 and the contact piece 43 are connected to the left and right sides of the fan-shaped structure 42 through the first connecting rod 412 and the second connecting rod 431 respectively, and the angle between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod is 150°-170°.

[0036] It can be understood that by moving the operating end, the driving end moves up and down, driving the fan-shaped structure 42 and the contact piece 43 to move in a fan shape around the circular structure 41. By arranging the circular structure 41 and the contact piece 43 at a certain angle on the left and right sides of the fan-shaped structure 42, the position of the rotation center of the slider 4 will be changed, and at the same time, the distance between the contact piece 43 and the rotation center will be reduced, thereby reducing the movement range of the entire slider 4.

[0037] A limit block 411 is provided on the side of the circular structure 41 away from the connecting piece, and a limit groove 221 adapted to the limit block 411 is provided on the shell 2. The limit block 411 slides in the limit groove 221, and the rotation direction of the limit block 411 is opposite to the rotation direction of the contact piece 43.

[0038] It is understood that the limiting groove 221 can prevent the contact piece 43 from rotating beyond the conductive track 224. The limiting block 411 slides in the limiting groove 221, and the contact piece 43 slides in the conductive track 224. The conductive track 224 and the limiting groove 221 both rotate around the center of the circular structure 41, and the central angle between the conductive track 224 and the limiting groove 221 does not exceed 180°.

[0039] The fan-shaped structure 42 is a hollow structure, and the driving end includes a driving body 11, a driving front end 121 and an intermediate connecting portion 122 for connecting the driving front end and the driving body. The driving front end 121 is a spherical structure and the driving front end 121 is transitionally connected to the fan-shaped structure 42.

[0040] The middle connecting portion 122 is a tapered structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0041] The joystick 1 comprises a bracket 3 disposed within the housing 2. The driving end extends through the bracket 3 and is connected to the bracket 3 via a connecting shaft 31. The bracket 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 2. It is understood that the bracket 3 provides a stable mounting position and support for the driving end of the joystick 1. It prevents the components from shifting or loosening during switch operation, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the switch. The bracket is typically made of a sturdy material, enhancing the overall mechanical strength of the joystick. It can withstand certain external shocks and vibrations, protecting sensitive components within the switch from damage.

[0042] A circular groove 33 rotatably connected to the housing 2 is provided on the top of the bracket 3 , a sector-shaped slider 32 is provided on the bottom of the bracket 3 , and a sector-shaped guide rail 223 adapted to the sector-shaped slider 32 is provided on the housing 2 .

[0043] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the shell 2 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22, and the upper shell 21 is provided with a circular protrusion that is compatible with the circular groove 33. The bracket 3 is connected to the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 respectively through the circular groove 33 and the fan-shaped slider 32, thereby enhancing the stability of the bracket 3.

[0044] The lower end of the bracket 3 is provided with a first protrusion 34. The lower housing 22 is provided with two hollow portions. The first hollow portion allows the driving front end 121 to pass through the lower housing 22 and connect with the slider 4 provided on the lower housing 22. The second hollow portion allows the first protrusion 34 to pass through the lower housing 22 and rotate along the second hollow portion. In this embodiment, the second hollow portion is fan-shaped, so the second hollow portion is also a fan-shaped hollow portion 222.

[0045] During operation of the switch, bracket 3 guides the movement of the movable part. The fan-shaped slider 32 or circular groove 33 on bracket 3 ensures that the driving end of the joystick 1 moves along the correct trajectory, preventing deviation or jamming, thereby ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the switch.

[0046] The center direction of the sector-shaped structure 42 is consistent with the center direction of the sector-shaped guide rail 223 .

[0047] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several specific embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and the present invention is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
