Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of game handles, in particular to an ABXY key mode switching mechanism of a game handle. Background Art

[0002] Game controllers are mainly used for electronic games. By manipulating the joysticks and buttons on the game controller, you can control the virtual characters in the game to perform various actions.

[0003] There are two main ways to trigger the ABXY buttons on the game controller. One is a micro switch and the other is conductive glue. Both are single triggering methods with a small scope of application. Depending on different games or personal habits, you need to purchase game controllers with different triggering methods, which results in high user costs and insufficient flexibility. Utility Model Content

The number of the buttons, micro switches and conductive glue are the same, the micro switches and conductive glue are electrically connected to the key circuit board, the micro switches and conductive glue are arranged in a ring array on the switching bracket and are staggered, and the buttons correspond to the micro switches or conductive glue rings up and down.

[0006] The key includes a keycap, a pressing rod arranged at the lower end of the keycap, a return spring sleeved on the pressing rod, and a limiting protrusion arranged on the outer wall of the lower end of the keycap. The cross-section of the keycap is an N-shaped structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] like Figure 1-4As shown, the utility model provides an ABXY button mode switching mechanism of a game controller, including a key bracket 1, a button arranged at the upper end of the key bracket 1, and a switching bracket 2 arranged below the key bracket 1, a micro switch 3 and a conductive glue 4 arranged on the switching bracket 2, and a key circuit board 5 fixed to the lower end of the switching bracket 2. The number of the buttons, micro switches 3 and conductive glue 4 are the same, and the micro switches 3 and conductive glue 4 are electrically connected to the key circuit board 5. The micro switches 3 and conductive glue 4 are arranged in a ring array on the switching bracket 2 and are staggered. The buttons correspond to the micro switches 3 or the conductive glue 4 rings up and down.

[0018] The game controller's top shell is provided with corresponding button holes. There are four buttons, namely ABXY buttons. The buttons are mounted on the key bracket 1, and the upper ends of the buttons are located in the button holes. This design adds a switch bracket 2, and integrates the micro switch 3, conductive glue 4 and key circuit board 5 on the switch bracket 2. The switch bracket 2 is designed with 8 circular array slots. The micro switch 3 and conductive glue 4 are staggered in the 8 slots. The key circuit board 5 is fixed to the lower end of the switch bracket 2 for convenient electrical connection with the micro switch 3 and conductive glue 4. The key bracket 1 is located above the switch bracket 2, and the two are not fixed. The four buttons correspond to the positions of the micro switch 3 or conductive glue 4 in the upper and lower parts. Rotating the switch bracket 2 will change the corresponding position of the button, so that the button can correspond to the micro switch 3 or the conductive glue 4, thereby changing the triggering mode of the ABXY buttons. This design integrates two button triggering modes into one game controller. According to different user needs, the button triggering mode can be changed by rotating the switch bracket 2. It is flexible to use and has a wide range of applications, reducing user costs and improving user experience.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the key includes a keycap 6, a pressing rod 7 arranged at the lower end of the keycap 6, a return spring 8 sleeved on the pressing rod 7, and a limiting protrusion 9 arranged on the outer wall of the lower end of the keycap 6. The cross-section of the keycap 6 is an n-shaped structure. One end of the pressing rod 7 extends from the lower end of the keycap 6 into the keycap 6 and is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the keycap 6, and the other end is vertically downward. The return spring 8 is sleeved on the pressing rod 7 and the upper end is pressed against the inner wall of the keycap 6 and the lower end is pressed against the key position bracket 1.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the key bracket 1 is provided with a pressing hole 10 adapted to the pressing rod 7, the lower end of the pressing rod 7 extends into the pressing hole 10, the lower end of the reset spring 8 is pressed tightly against the pressing hole 10, and the lower end of the key cap 6 is supported by the reset spring 8 and spaced apart from the key bracket 1 above and below.

[0021] The keycap 6 is located in the button hole on the face shell of the game controller. The lower end of the keycap 6 is tightened by the return spring 8 and is limited in the face shell by the limit protrusion 9, so that the keycap 6 will not be pushed out from the button hole. By pressing the keycap 6, the keycap 6 drops, and the pressing rod 7 drops synchronously. The lower end of the pressing rod 7 contacts the micro switch 3 or the conductive glue 4 to achieve triggering. At the same time, the pressing rod 7 can also play a guiding role, so that the keycap 6 is more stable when rising and falling and will not deviate.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, a rotary toggle lever 11 is provided on the outer wall of the switching bracket 2 , one end of the rotary toggle lever 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the switching bracket 2 , and the other end is horizontally cantilevered outward.

[0023] The rotating toggle lever 11 extends out of the rear shell of the game controller for easy manual toggle.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a damping plate 12 is provided on the outer wall of the switching bracket 2 and a damping protrusion 13 is provided on the end face of the damping plate 12 facing the outer wall of the key bracket 1. At least two damping grooves 14 are provided on the outer wall of the key bracket 1 and the horizontal position corresponds to the damping protrusion 13. The two damping grooves 14 correspond to the positions of the micro switch 3 and the conductive glue 4 respectively.

[0025] The lower end of the damping plate 12 is fixed to the outer wall of the switching bracket 2, and the upper end of the damping plate 12 is upward. The damping protrusion 13 is fixed on the inner side of the damping plate 12 and is tightly pressed into the damping groove 14 on the outer wall of the key bracket 1. One of the damping grooves 14 corresponds to the position of the micro switch 3, and the other damping groove 14 corresponds to the position of the conductive glue 4. When the switching bracket 2 is rotated, the rotation position is positioned by the damping protrusion 13 and the damping groove 14, which is more convenient to use.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of support columns 15 are provided in a ring shape at the lower end of the switch bracket 2 , and a plurality of positioning grooves adapted to the support columns 15 are provided on the outer periphery of the key circuit board 5 .

[0027] After the key circuit board 5 is positioned by the support column 15 and the positioning groove, it is fixed, which facilitates the assembly of the key circuit board 5.
