[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an embodiment of the split game controller of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the split game controller includes: a first handle 1 and a second handle 2, a device mounting portion 3 is provided on the side opposite to the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, one end of the device mounting portion 3 is provided with a base 31, and a clamping mechanism 32 is provided on the device mounting portion 3, and the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are detachably connected; please refer to Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the clamping mechanism 32 includes a fixed portion 321, an elastic member 322 and a clamping assembly 323 slidably arranged on the fixed portion 321. The clamping assembly 323 is opposite to the base 31. The elastic member 322 is fixedly arranged on the fixed portion 321 and the movable end of the elastic member 322 is connected to the clamping assembly 323. The clamping assembly 323 moves closer to or away from the base 31 when sliding relative to the fixed portion 321.
[0025] Specifically, the clamping assembly 323 of the clamping mechanism 32 is slidably arranged, and the user can stretch the clamping assembly 323 according to the size of the device. After clamping the device between the clamping assembly 323 and the base 31, the clamping assembly 323 is released. The clamping assembly 323 rebounds under the elastic force of the elastic member 322 and cooperates with the base 31 to clamp the device between the clamping assembly 323 and the base 31. The first handle 1 and the second handle 2 of this embodiment are connected in a detachable manner. That is, when the split game controller is not in use, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 shells can be connected, which is convenient for the user to carry or store. When the split game controller is used, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are disassembled and clamped to the two ends of the device respectively.
[0026] It should be noted that the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are used to achieve different key effects respectively. For example, the first handle 1 can be used to achieve a direction key effect, and the second handle 2 can be used to achieve a function key effect, which can be operated by the user's left hand and right hand respectively.
[0027] The split game controller of this embodiment adopts a detachable connection between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 so that the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 can be separated, and the clamping mechanism 32 provided on the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, whose clamping component 323 can slide to move closer to or away from the base 31. After the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are clamped on the device, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are fixed to the device under the elastic force of the elastic member 322. The detachable first handle 1 and the second handle 2 meet the lateral compatibility requirements, and the clamping mechanism 32 meets the longitudinal compatibility requirements, so that the split game controller can adapt to devices of different sizes and is more practical.
[0028] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection or separation of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first magnetic component 11 is provided on the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 facing the second handle 2, and a second magnetic component 21 is provided on the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 facing the first handle 1. When the opposite sides of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 abut against each other, the first magnetic component 11 faces the second magnetic component 21 and adsorbs each other.
[0029] Specifically, the first magnetic member 11 and the second magnetic member 21 are preferably made of strong magnets to ensure an effective adsorption effect. When the split game controller is not in use, the user can place the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 directly against the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 and bring them closer together until the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 abuts the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2. The first magnetic member 11 and the second magnetic member 21 then adsorb to each other, thereby securing the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, making it easier for the user to carry or store them.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to make the split game controller more convenient to carry and further improve the adsorption effect between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the clamping mechanism 32 is arranged in the lower half of the side opposite to the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, and the upper half of the side of the first handle 1 facing the second handle 2 is also provided with a third magnetic member 12, and the upper half of the side of the second handle 2 facing the first handle 1 is also provided with a fourth magnetic member 22. After the first handle 1 or the second handle 2 is flipped 180° along the transverse central axis, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 approach each other until the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 abuts against the upper half of the side of the second handle 2 relative to the first handle 1, and the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 abuts against the upper half of the side of the first handle 1 relative to the second handle 2. The clamping mechanism 32 of the first handle 1 and the clamping mechanism 32 of the second handle 2 are stacked, the first magnetic member 11 is facing the fourth magnetic member 22 and adsorbed to each other, and the second magnetic member 21 is facing the third magnetic member 12 and adsorbed to each other.
[0031] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 32 is provided in the lower half of the side opposite to the first handle 1 and the second handle 2. Therefore, when the first handle 1 or the second handle 2 is flipped 180 degrees along the transverse central axis, the clamping mechanisms 32 of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are staggered with each other, and the bases 31 of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are also staggered with each other. Then, the clamping mechanisms 32 of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are buckled together, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanisms 32 of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are stacked on top of each other, making the connection between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 more compact and less bulky, making it easier for the user to store or carry. Furthermore, two pairs of magnetic members are provided on the side edges and opposing sides of the fixing portions 321 of the two handles. The two pairs of magnetic members attract each other, further strengthening the connection between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2.
[0032] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first electrical connection interface 13 is provided on the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 facing the second handle 2, and the first electrical connection interface 13 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the first handle 1. A second electrical connection interface 23 is provided on the upper half of the side of the second handle 2 facing the first handle 1, and the second electrical connection interface 23 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the second handle 2. When the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 abuts against the upper half of the side of the second handle 2 relative to the first handle 1, the first electrical connection interface 13 and the second electrical connection interface 23 abut against each other and are conductive.
[0033] Specifically, when the split game controller is not in use, the first controller 1 and the second controller 2 are buckled together, and the first electrical connection interface 13 can be connected to the second electrical connection interface 23. Then, the charging interface on the controller is connected to the external charger to charge the two controllers at the same time, without the need to charge the two controllers separately.
[0034] Further, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a first limiting portion 14 is provided at the top of the side of the first handle 1 facing the second handle 2, a second limiting portion 24 is provided at the top of the side of the second handle 2 facing the first handle 1, a first limiting groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 facing the second handle 2, and a second limiting groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 facing the first handle 1. When the side of the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 abuts against the upper half of the side of the second handle 2 relative to the first handle 1, and the side of the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 abuts against the upper half of the side of the first handle 1 relative to the second handle 2, the first limiting portion 14 is snapped into the second limiting groove 25, and the second limiting portion 24 is snapped into the first limiting groove 15.
[0035] Specifically, on the one hand, the first limiting portion 14 and the second limiting portion 24 both protrude a certain distance relative to the side of the handle, so that when the handle is fixed to the device, the first limiting portion 14 and the second limiting portion 24 can cooperate with the clamping mechanism 32 to abut the top and bottom surfaces of the device respectively, further fixing the device and the handle; on the other hand, the fixing portion 321 of the first handle 1 is provided with a first limiting groove 15 at the bottom of the side of the second handle 2, and the fixing portion 321 of the second handle 2 is provided with a second limiting groove 25 at the bottom of the side of the first handle 1. When the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are buckled together, the first limiting portion 14 is snapped into the second limiting groove 25, and the second limiting portion 24 is snapped into the first limiting groove 15, further strengthening the connection between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, avoiding relative sliding between the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, which causes the magnetic parts to stagger with each other, and then causes the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 to separate.
[0036] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, a slide groove 3211 with an open end is provided in the fixed part 321, and an elastic member mounting part 3212 is provided at the other end of the slide groove 3211. The elastic member 322 is provided on the elastic member mounting part 3212. The clamping assembly 323 includes a sliding part 3231 and a clamping part 3232. The sliding part 3231 is slidably provided in the slide groove 3211 and the end of the sliding part 3231 away from the outlet of the slide groove 3211 is fixedly connected to the elastic member 322, and the clamping part 3232 is detachably connected to the sliding part 3231.
[0037] Specifically, the elastic member 322 is preferably a coil spring, the movable end of which is fixedly connected to the slide. Initially, the sliding portion 3231 is completely contained within the slide groove 3211, and the coil spring is in its initial state. When installing the device, the clamping portion 3232 is pulled, causing the sliding portion 3231 to slide out of the slide groove 3211, tightening the coil spring. After the device is installed between the clamping portion 3232 and the base 31, the clamping portion 3232 is released. Under the action of the coil spring's elastic force, the clamping portion 3232 is tightened, clamping the device between the clamping portion 3232 and the base 31. In this embodiment, the clamping portion 3232 and the sliding portion 3231 are connected in a detachable manner, so that the clamping portion 3232 can be replaced. If the device is too large, a longer and larger clamping portion 3232 can be replaced.
[0038] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, a locking groove 32311 is provided at the end of the sliding portion 3231 close to the exit of the sliding groove 3211 , and a locking portion 32321 matching the locking groove 32311 is provided at the end of the clamping portion 3232 , and the locking portion 32321 slides into the locking groove 32311 .
[0039] Specifically, the relative fixation between the sliding portion 3231 and the clamping portion 3232 can be achieved by sliding the engaging portion 32321 into the clamping slot 32311. When the clamping portion 3232 needs to be replaced, the clamping portion 3232 can be slid out of the clamping slot 32311 for replacement.
[0040] It should be understood that the connection between the sliding portion 3231 and the clamping portion 3232 in the bracket can also be achieved by snap fasteners, spring fasteners, knob fasteners, latches, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. Figure 7 As shown, a knob groove 32312 is provided at the end of the sliding portion 3231 near the exit of the slide groove 3211, and a knob buckle 32322 matching the knob groove 32312 is provided at the end of the clamping portion 3232. After the knob buckle 32322 is inserted into the knob groove 32312, the clamping portion 3232 is rotated a certain angle to fix the clamping portion 3232 and the sliding portion 3231.
[0041] Furthermore, the clamping portion 3232 includes a clamping hook 32322 of a first preset length and a clamping hook 32323 of a second preset length, and the first preset length is smaller than the second preset length.
[0042] Specifically, the first preset length of the clip hook 32322 is suitable for small devices such as mobile phones, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second preset length of the clip hook 32323 is suitable for large devices such as tablets, such as Figure 9 As shown, it can be replaced in real time according to the size of the equipment.
[0043] Furthermore, in order to avoid wear on the equipment surface, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a silicone pad 4 is provided on the top surface of the fixing portion 321 and the surface of the clamping assembly 323 opposite to the base 31 .
[0044] The above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the utility model is intended only as an example, and the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modification or substitution of the utility model is also within the scope of the utility model. Therefore, equivalent changes, modifications, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the principles of the utility model should be included within the scope of the utility model.
