DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] A game lever mechanism, Figure 1 It includes a handle end 1 and a fixed end 2; the fixed end 2 includes a pull rod panel 22, and a pull rod cover 21 is provided on one side of the pull rod panel 22; the handle end 1 includes a pull rod vertical axis 11 and a pull rod horizontal axis 12; the pull rod vertical axis 11 passes through the pull rod cover 21; the pull rod horizontal axis 12 is connected to the pull rod vertical axis 11; it also includes a ratchet unit, the ratchet unit is installed at one end of the pull rod horizontal axis 12, and the rotation of the pull rod horizontal axis 12 drives the ratchet unit to rotate.
[0025] Figure 2 The middle ratchet unit includes a ratchet rotation unit 28 and a ratchet toggle unit 29. The ratchet rotation unit 28 includes a side bearing 281, ratchet teeth 282, and a one-way bearing 283. The side bearing 281, ratchet teeth 282, and one-way bearing 283 are in contact with the ratchet rotation unit 28. The ratchet toggle unit 29 is toggled once each time the ratchet teeth 282 rotate one gear. The ratchet toggle unit 29 includes a ratchet toggle block 291 and a tension spring 292. One end of the ratchet toggle block 291 is connected to the ratchet teeth 282, and the other end is connected to the tension spring 292. The other end of the tension spring 292 is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 26 of the pull rod.
[0026] During the operation of the pull rod mechanism, the pull rod vertical axis 11 is pulled, so that the pull rod horizontal axis 12 will rotate. During the rotation of the pull rod horizontal axis 12, its ratchet unit will also rotate together, and a clicking sound is transmitted through the ratchet toggle block 291 and the ratchet teeth 282, which has a strong sense of rhythm.
[0027] The pull rod cover 21 is provided with an arc-shaped opening, and the pull rod vertical axis 11 is pulled along the arc-shaped opening. The design of the arc-shaped opening is also helpful to protect the player and prevent the hand from being pinched during the pulling process.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Based on Example 1, this embodiment also includes a detection unit, which includes a detection plate 23 and a detection sensor; the detection plate 23 is installed at the other end of the pull rod horizontal axis 12, and the rotation of the pull rod horizontal axis 12 drives the detection plate 23 to rotate; the detection sensor is used to detect the position of the detection plate 23.
[0030] Figure 3 The invention also includes a limiting unit, which includes a limiting plate 24 and a limiting base plate 25. The limiting plate 24 passes through the pull rod horizontal axis 12, and the rotation of the pull rod horizontal axis 12 drives the rotation of the limiting plate 24. The limiting plate 24 is provided with a first limiting module 241 and a second limiting module 242. The limiting base plate 25 is located on the other side of the pull rod panel 22 and is fixedly connected to the pull rod panel 22. When the limiting plate 24 rotates, when the first limiting module 241 contacts the limiting base plate 25, the limiting plate 24 stops rotating, or when the second limiting module 242 contacts the limiting base plate 25, the limiting plate 24 stops rotating. The first limiting module 241 and the second limiting module 242 form a 90-degree angle. By limiting the angle between the first limiting module 241 and the second limiting module 242, the angle of the pull rod vertical axis is limited. In this embodiment, it is set to a right angle of 90 degrees, so that when the pull rod is pulled to a certain angle, it will return to its original position.
[0031] The limiting base plate 25 includes a limiting buffer base plate 251 and a limiting buffer cover plate 252, which covers the limiting buffer cover plate 252 and the limiting buffer base plate 251. The other side of the pull rod panel 22 is fixedly connected to the first pull rod fixing plate 26 and the second pull rod fixing plate 27; the ratchet unit, the first pull rod fixing plate 26, the limiting plate 24, the second pull rod fixing plate 27, and the detection plate 23 pass through the pull rod transverse axis 12 in sequence. A reset spring 3 also passes through the pull rod transverse axis 12 and is located between the second pull rod fixing plate 27 and the detection plate 23. The presence of the reset spring 3 facilitates the reset of the pull rod.
[0032] The lever mechanism is designed with a limiter unit to ensure unidirectional movement. A detection unit can also detect the lever's rotation position and calculate its speed, making it easier to control the lever.
