DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0047] In related art, input devices (such as game controllers) and electronic devices (such as tablets) are typically connected using a side sliding lock. In this design, the locking direction is parallel to the sliding direction, resulting in the locking structure being exposed when the devices are separated. This not only affects the device's aesthetics, but also makes the exposed locking structure susceptible to damage, which can easily reduce the device's service life and reliability in scenarios where frequent connection and disconnection operations are performed.

[0048] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure is to solve the above technical problems, and the present application provides an input device.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Reference Attachment Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The input device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a bracket 1 and an input device 2; the bracket 1 can be used to support a device to be supported (not shown in the figure), the bracket 1 includes a first connecting portion 3, and the first connecting portion 3 includes a first structural member; the input device 2 includes a second connecting portion 4, and the second connecting portion 4 includes a second structural member. The input device 2 can be moved along a first direction a through the second connecting portion 4 to be plugged into the first connecting portion 3;

[0051] In which, either the first structural member or the second structural member is the first target limit member 5, and the other is the second target limit member 6, the first target limit member 5 has a first state and a second state that can be switched to each other, in the case of the first state, the first target limit member 5 can extend along the second direction b to the second target limit member 6 to achieve the limitation of the first structural member 5 and the second structural member 6, and the second direction b and the first direction a meet the vertical condition; in the case of the second state, the first target limit member 5 can be detached from the second target limit member 6 to achieve the separation of the first structural member and the second structural member.

[0052] Among them, the input device of this embodiment can be adapted to support devices such as but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, gaming devices, foldable display devices, etc.

[0053] The input device provided in this embodiment is configured such that the input device 2 and the bracket 1 are arranged such that the first connecting portion 3 and the second connecting portion 4 are plugged into each other along a first direction a, wherein the first target limiting member and the second target limiting member are configured to limit and release the limit in a second direction b perpendicular to the first direction a. When the input device 2 and the bracket 1 are connected, the first target limiting member and the second target limiting member are limited in the second direction b. The vertical limiting mechanism allows the first target limiting member and the second target limiting member to be embedded or hidden inside the input device 2 and / or the bracket 1 when connected, and not to be displayed externally. When the devices need to be separated, the first target limiting member and the second target limiting member are disengaged in the second direction b, maintaining the concealment of the first target limiting member and / or the second target limiting member. After separation, the appearance of the input device will not be affected or damaged due to direct exposure to the outside.

[0054] Among them, the bracket 1 is a rigid structure, which can be Figure 3 The plate-like structure shown can also be a frame structure. The bracket 1 in this embodiment serves as a supporting structure for the display device and can provide a close-fitting support for the back panel of the display device. The first connecting portion 3 can be fixedly set on the bracket 1 or movably set on the bracket 1. The number of first connecting portions 3 can also be designed and adjusted according to different usage scenarios. For example: when there is a first connecting portion 3, the first connecting portion 3 can be set at the bottom end of the bracket 1 to connect the input device 2 to realize the situation where the input device 2 is located at the bottom end of the display device to support the bottom edge of the display device and can interact with the display device. At this time, the input device 2 can be, but is not limited to, a keypad, a touch display device, a drawing board, etc.; for another example: refer to the attached Figure 4 , there are two first connection parts 3 respectively arranged at the two ends of the bracket 1 along the first direction a. At this time, each first connection part 3 can be connected to an input device 2. At this time, the input device 2 can be but not limited to a game controller. Under this setting mode, the distance between the two first connection parts 3 can be fixed, and the input device is suitable for a display device of a single specification. The two first connection parts 3 can also be set to have an adjustable distance between them, that is, the first connection part 3 can be extended and retracted relative to the bracket 1 along the first direction a to adjust the supporting space of the bracket 1 between the two first connection parts 3 to adapt to different specifications of display devices or different usage forms of foldable display devices; under the movable setting mode of the first connection part 3, the two first connection parts 3 can cooperate to clamp the display device. The first connection part 3 can be extended and retracted and clamped relative to the bracket 1 by a spring arranged along the first direction a. At the same time, a slide is set on the bracket 1, and a slider adapted to the slide is set on the first connection 3 to realize extension and sliding.

[0055] Among them, it can be understood that the first direction a in this embodiment is parallel to the surface of the bracket 1 for supporting the equipment to be supported, and the second direction a meets the vertical condition with the first direction a, and can be mutually perpendicular or approximately perpendicular, and then the second direction b can be but is not limited to the thickness direction of the bracket 1. The subsequent content of this embodiment is explained in detail with the second direction b being the thickness direction of the bracket 1 as an example.

[0056] Among them, the input device 2 can exchange data with the display device to realize input to the display device. The input device 2 can be, but is not limited to, a handle, a keyboard, and a drawing board. In this embodiment, the number of input devices 2 matches the number of first connecting parts 3. The second connecting part 4 can be plugged into the first connecting part 3 in a coordinated manner. Either the first connecting part 3 or the second connecting part 4 can be an open structure, and the other can be inserted into the open structure to form a plug-in connection. In this embodiment, the second connecting part 4 can be set as an open structure, and then when the input device 2 is detached from the bracket 1, the opening and internal structure will not be exposed on the bracket 1. Under this setting mode, the first structural member and the second structural member can be limited and disengaged in the second direction inside the opening structure to ensure that the first structural member and the second structural member are not exposed when the input device 2 is detached from the bracket 1. One of the first structural member and the second structural member is the first target limiting member 5, and the other is the second target limiting member 6. Whether the two are limited or not can be achieved by changing the state of the first target limiting member 5, that is, when the first structural member is the first target limiting member 5, the second structural member is the second target limiting member 6, and when the first structural member is the second target limiting member 6, the second structural member is the first target limiting member 5. The coordination between the first target limiting member 5 and the second target limiting member 6 can be achieved by telescoping, for example: the first target limiting member 5 is a rod-shaped, plate-shaped, block-shaped, etc. that can be telescoping in the second direction b, and the second target limiting member 6 is a slot-shaped, hole-shaped, or opening. See attached Figure 6 When the first target stopper 5 extends out of the second connection portion 4 along the second direction b, it can extend into the second target stopper 6, limiting the two in a direction parallel to the first direction a, thereby preventing the first connection portion 3 from being separated from the second connection portion 4 along the first direction a or the opposite direction of the first direction a; accordingly, refer to the attached Figure 7 When the first target stopper 5 retracts and disengages from the second target stopper 6 in a direction opposite to the second direction b, the first target stopper 5 and the second target stopper 6 are released from their positions in a direction parallel to the first direction a, and the first connecting portion 3 and the second connecting portion 4 can be separated from each other under the action of an external force. It is understood that the extension and retraction of the first target stopper 5 can be driven by an external force, which can be generated by manual pressure or electronic control.

[0057] According to the above, the input device provided by the present disclosure realizes the connection or disassembly of the input device 2 with the bracket 1 by utilizing the first target limiter 5 in the first connection part 3 and the second connection part 4 to realize the limitation and disengagement with the second target limiter 6 by plugging the first connection part 3 on the bracket 1 and the second connection part 4 on the input device 2 in the first direction a, thereby realizing the connection or disassembly of the input device 2 with the bracket 1, thereby realizing the connection between the input device and the display device without a direct connection relationship through the flexible disassembly and assembly of the input device 2 and the bracket 1, and thus eliminating the need to set a locking structure on the device to be supported, avoiding the locking structure from being exposed on the appearance surface of the display device, and improving the flexibility of the connection; thereby solving the problem in the related art that the flexibility of the input device and the tablet computer for side sliding locking is low, and the related locking structure is exposed after separation, and the appearance of the device is not beautiful.

[0058] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B is specifically understood as: A and B may be included at the same time, A may exist alone, or B may exist alone, and any of the above three situations may exist.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] Furthermore, in the input device provided by the present disclosure, in a specific implementation, the second connecting part 4 or the first connecting part 3 has an opening 41 and a receiving space 42 that are interconnected, the first target limiter 5 can be located in the receiving space 42, and the insertion direction of the opening 41 satisfies the parallel condition with the first direction a.

[0061] It is understandable that in order to achieve the plugging of the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 3 or the second connecting part 4 can be set to have an opening 41 and a receiving space 42 that are interconnected. The opening 41 is the plugging entrance of the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4. The size and shape of the opening 41 can be designed and adjusted according to the actual size and shape of the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4. Figure 5 The following description of this embodiment will be based on an example in which the second connecting portion 4 has an opening 41 and an accommodating space 42. The second connecting portion 4 is disposed on the input device 2, and the opening 41 and accommodating space 42 are further disposed on the second connecting portion 4. The first target stopper 5 and the second target stopper 6 then engage within the accommodating space 42. This means that there are no protruding or retractable structures on the bracket 1, and the stopper structure will not be exposed after the input device 2 is removed from the bracket 1. The insertion direction of the opening can be parallel to or approximately parallel to the first direction a.

[0062] Further, refer to the attached Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 In the input device provided by the present disclosure, in a specific implementation, a limiting hole 43 and a blocking block 51 may be provided in the accommodating space 42; the blocking block 51 may be connected with the first target limiting member 5, and the blocking block 51 may be adapted to the limiting hole 43, and the blocking block 51 may be able to move along the second direction b in the limiting hole 43 and remain in the first position and the second position; wherein, when the blocking block 51 moves to the first position and the second position, the first target limiting member 5 may be in the first state and the second state, respectively.

[0063] It can be understood that in order to achieve that the first target limiting member 5 can be maintained in the first state, that is, the state of limiting the second target limiting member 6, in this embodiment, a limiting hole 43 is set in the accommodating space 42, that is, in the second connecting portion 4, and a clamping block 51 is provided on the first target limiting member 5, so that after the first target limiting member 5 is extended in the second direction b, it can be maintained in the first state through the cooperation between the clamping block 51 and the limiting hole 43; the limiting hole 43 and the clamping block 51 can be rigid structures, and the limiting hole 43 can be set on the shell of the input device 2, or it can be as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, a special shell is additionally provided in the accommodating space 42 to form a limiting hole 43. Under this arrangement, the second connecting portion 4 includes a limiting frame 45; the limiting hole 43 is provided on the side wall of the limiting frame 45; the first target limiting member 5 is movably provided in the limiting frame 45 along the second direction b; in this embodiment, the limiting frame 45 is a rigid frame structure, which provides a mounting position for the first target limiting member 5, and the first target limiting member 5 can move relative to the limiting frame 45 in the second direction b. The arrangement of the limiting frame 45 enables the second connecting portion 4 to form an independent module, which reduces the difficulty of molding and installation when cooperating with the input device 2; the limiting frame 45 may include a top wall and at least two opposite side walls, or may include a top wall, a bottom wall and at least two opposite side walls at the same time to enclose an accommodating space for installing and accommodating the first target limiting member 5. At this time, the limiting holes 43 are provided on the opposite side walls to ensure the stability of the limit. The number of the blocks 51 can also be designed and adjusted according to the number of the limiting holes 43, for example: Figure 8 In the embodiment, two adjacent limiting holes 43 are provided on both side walls, and four clamping blocks 51 are correspondingly provided to correspond one to one with the limiting holes 43 .

[0064] Further, refer to the attached Figure 8 and attached Figure 9In a specific implementation of the input device provided by the present disclosure, the block 51 has a first guide surface 52, which can extend obliquely in the opposite direction of the second direction b and away from the block 51; a second guide surface 53 and a third guide surface 54 parallel to the first guide surface 52 can be sequentially provided in the limiting hole 43 along the second direction b, and a step surface 55 can be formed between the second guide surface 53 and the third guide surface 54 for contacting a first surface 56 of the block 51 located in the opposite direction of the second direction b of the first guide surface 52;

[0065] In which, when the block 51 can move via the second guide surface 53 until its first surface 56 contacts the step surface 55, the block 51 is in the first position; after the block 51 can move via the second guide surface 53 until the first surface 56 is separated from the step surface 55, the block 51 is in the second position.

[0066] It can be understood that in order to achieve the matching limit of the limiting hole 43 and the blocking block 51, in this embodiment, the blocking block 51 can be set at the end of the first target limiting member 5, and the blocking block 51 can reciprocate along the second direction b with the first target limiting member 5; the first guide surface 52 on the blocking block 51 can be set in the opposite direction of the second direction b and extend obliquely, and can be inclined in any direction relative to the axis of the first target limiting member 5, and the second guide surface 53 and the third guide surface 54 of the limiting hole can be set correspondingly, and the second guide surface 53 and the third guide surface 54 are sequentially set along the second direction b to provide support and guiding effects for the first guide surface 52; the step surface 55 and the first surface 56 can be horizontal planes or the inclination angle relative to the straight line where the second direction b is located is greater than the inclination angle of the first guide surface 52; refer to the attached Figure 8 When the first target stopper 5 does not move outward in the second direction b, the first guide surface 52 is in contact with the second guide surface 53. When the first target stopper 5 is moved in the second direction b by an external force, the first guide surface 52 moves along the second guide surface 53 until it is separated from the second guide surface 53. At this time, the first surface 56 is in contact with the step surface 55, and the first guide surface 52 is in contact with the third guide surface 54. Figure 9 In the state shown, at this time, the first surface 56 and the step surface 55 fit together to limit the block 51 and maintain it in the first position, so that the first target limiter 5 can remain in the first state and extend into the second target limiter 6 for limiting; accordingly, when the external force continues to act, the first target limiter 5 can drive the block 51 to continue to move along the second direction b, and the first guide surface 52 can move along the third guide surface 54 so that the first surface 56 is separated from the step surface 55 and can return to its original position in the opposite direction of the second direction b, that is, return to the original position. Figure 8In the state shown, the first target limiting member 5 can be separated from the second target limiting member 6 to release the limiting lock.

[0067] Further, refer to the attached Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 In the input device provided by the present disclosure, in a specific implementation, an elastic member 44 may also be provided in the accommodating space 42; the axial direction of the elastic member 44 is parallel to the second direction b, and in the first state, the elastic member 44 is compressed to provide a force for the first target limit member 5 to separate from the second target limit member 6.

[0068] It can be understood that in order to achieve the limitation of the first surface 56 from the step surface 55, an elastic member 44 is provided in this embodiment. The elastic member 44 can be, but is not limited to, a spring, a rubber member, a retaining spring, etc.; the elastic member 44 is provided along the second direction b, and its two ends respectively abut the first target limiting member 5 and the inner wall of the accommodating space 42. Of course, the two ends can also respectively abut the first target limiting member 5 and the bottom wall of the limiting frame 45; when the first target limiting member 5 moves along the second direction b, the elastic member 44 is compressed, thereby generating a force in the opposite direction of the second direction b. When the first guide surface 52 moves along the third guide surface 54 until the first surface 56 is separated from the step surface 55, the force generated by the elastic member 44 can lift the first target limiting member 5 in the opposite direction of the second direction b, so that it is separated from the second target limiting member 6. The number of elastic members 44 can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs, for example: refer to the attached Figure 8 In order to ensure the movement stability of the first target limiter 5 in the second direction b and avoid skewing, an elastic member 44 can be provided on both sides of the first target limiter 5.

[0069] It can be understood that in order to avoid the step surface 55 interfering with the first surface 56, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection size of the second guide surface 53 along the second direction b can be set to be larger than the orthographic projection size of the step surface 55 along the second direction b, and then when the first guide surface 52 moves along the third guide surface 53 to the point where the first surface 56 has no overlapping part with the step surface 55 in the second direction b, the block 51 can rebound to its original position under the action of the elastic member 44, that is, the position where the first guide surface 52 and the second guide surface 53 are in contact with each other.

[0070] Example 3

[0071] Further, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 8In the input device provided by the present disclosure, in a specific implementation, a trigger portion 7 may be provided on the first connecting portion 3 or the second connecting portion 4; the trigger portion 7 may be arranged at the end of the first target limiter 5 away from the accommodating space 42; the accommodating space 42 may be provided with a second opening 21 so that the trigger portion 7 is exposed through the second opening 21.

[0072] It is understandable that in order to achieve the driving of the first target limiter 5 by external force, a trigger portion 7 is provided in this embodiment. The trigger portion 7 can be a rigid or elastic structure, which is connected to the first target limiter 5 outside the limit frame 45. The shape and size of the first trigger portion 7 are not limited and can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs. The trigger portion 7 can be a reserved pressing structure, and thus needs to be exposed outside the accommodating space 42, that is, outside the input device 2 to provide a pressing position. In this embodiment, a second opening 21 can be provided on the outer surface of the input device 2, and the shape and size of the second opening 21 are adapted to the trigger portion 7; further, in order to ensure the beautiful appearance and functional design of the input device 2, the second opening 21 can be provided on the back side of the input device 2 in the thickness direction, for example, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, when the input device 2 is a handle, many function keys 8 are provided on the front side in the thickness direction, while the other side in the thickness direction is usually a smooth surface to improve the grip feel, and the second opening 21 can be set on the back side in the thickness direction.

[0074] Further, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 8 In the input device provided by the present disclosure, in a specific implementation, a cover plate 46 may be provided in the accommodating space 42 corresponding to the second opening 21 ; the first target limiter 5 and the blocking block 51 may be provided on the side of the cover plate 46 facing the accommodating space 42 .

[0075] It is understandable that in order to simplify the structural design and improve the motion stability of the first target limiter 5, a cover plate 46 is provided in this embodiment. The cover plate 46 is a rigid structure, and its shape and size can be adjusted to match the shape of the input device 2. For example, refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4, the outer wall of the input device 2 corresponding to the position of the second opening 21 is not a flat surface, and the cover plate 46 can be set to a corresponding angle or curvature corresponding to the non-flat surface, so that when the first target limiter 5 is in the second state, the cover plate 46 can adapt to the shape of the input device 2 to avoid interference; the cover plate 46 serves as the installation structure of the first target limiter 5 and the block 51. When the trigger part 7 is driven along the second direction b, the cover plate 46 will drive the first target limiter 5 and the block 51 to move synchronously to avoid unstable driving of the scattered structure; in this embodiment, a sliding matching structure along the second direction b can also be set on the side wall of the cover plate 46 and the side wall of the limit frame 45, such as a slider and a slide rail, a slider and a slide groove, etc.
