DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 A retractable elastically clamped game controller comprises a first clamping portion 1 and a second clamping portion 2 that can move closer to or further away from the first clamping portion 1 .

[0023] The first clamping part 1 is provided with a first guide rail 3, and the second clamping part 2 is provided with a first slider 4 that slides with the first guide rail 3; when the second clamping part 2 moves closer to or away from the first clamping part 1, the first slider 4 slides accordingly on the first guide rail 3.

[0024] The gap between the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 is the clamping gap 5. The device to be clamped (such as a mobile phone) can be placed in the clamping gap 5, and the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 can be brought close to each other to clamp the device.

[0025] An operating handle 6 is provided on at least one of the clamping parts; for example, an operating handle is provided on the first clamping part, or an operating handle is provided on the second clamping part, or both the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are provided with an operating handle 6.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are arranged on the left and right. At this time, the first clamping part 1 can also be called the left clamping part, and the second clamping part 2 can be called the right clamping part. The first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 form left and right clamping of the device accordingly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first guide rail 3 is a linear guide rail.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first slider 4 slides left and right on the first guide rail 3, that is, the second clamping portion 2 approaches / moves away from the first clamping portion 1 in the left and right direction through the sliding cooperation between the first slider 4 and the first guide rail 3.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first slider 4 may extend along the length direction of the first guide rail 3 to form a cylindrical slider with better guiding effect, and the first guide rail 3 corresponds to the sliding sleeve guide rail constituting the cylindrical slider.

[0030] In this embodiment, an elastic reset member is further provided between the first clamping portion 1 and the second clamping portion 2. The elastic reset member is used to generate a corresponding elastic force when the second clamping portion 2 is moved in a direction away from the first clamping portion 1 by an external force, so as to enable the second clamping portion 2 to be acted upon to move in a direction close to the first clamping portion 1 after the external force is eliminated.

[0031] That is, when the first clamping portion 1 and the second clamping portion 2 clamp the device together, the characteristics of the elastic return member enable the device to be clamped more stably.

[0032] In some embodiments, the elastic reset member is a compression spring 7, and the first clamping portion 1 is provided with a spring for engaging with one end of the compression spring 7 ( Figure 4 The second clamping portion 2 is provided with a first pressing portion 8 for cooperating with the right end of the compression spring 7, and the second clamping portion 2 is provided with a second pressing portion 9 for cooperating with the other end of the compression spring 7; when the second clamping portion 2 moves in a direction away from the first clamping portion 1, the first pressing portion 8 and the second pressing portion 9 jointly form a pressing force on the compression spring 7, causing the compression spring 7 to form an elastic compression deformation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second pressing portion 9 is provided on the first sliding block 4 on the second clamping portion.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first slider 4 is a cylindrical slider, and a mounting groove is provided on the first slider 4 along the length direction of the cylindrical slider.

[0035] A positioning post 11 is provided on the first clamping portion 1 , and the positioning post 11 is passed through the mounting groove 10 along the length direction of the mounting groove 10 .

[0036] The compression spring 7 is sleeved on the positioning column 11, and one end of the compression spring 7 is close to the second clamping part 2, and the other end of the compression spring 7 is close to the first clamping part 1; the first pressing part 8 is formed on one end of the positioning column 11 close to the second clamping part 2, and the second pressing part 9 is formed on the mounting groove 10 at a side notch close to the first clamping part 1, and the compression spring 7 is located between the first pressing part 8 and the second pressing part 9.

[0037] When the second clamping part 2 moves away from the first clamping part 1, the first pressing part 8 can be regarded as stationary (relatively), and the second pressing part 9 can be regarded as moving (relatively). The compression spring 7 is pressed against the first pressing part 8 by the moving second pressing part 9, which can cause the compression spring 7 to produce compressive elastic deformation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 10 has a second guide rail that cooperates with the first pressing portion 8. Through the guiding effect of the second guide rail and the first pressing portion 8, on the one hand, the stretching action (the second clamping portion moves closer / away from the first clamping portion) can be made more stable. On the other hand, the positioning column 11 can be used to reinforce the cylindrical slider, so that the game handle is not easy to bend during stretching.

[0039] In some embodiments, the end of the positioning post 11 near the first clamping portion 1 is a screw-shaped end 12. The first clamping portion 1 is connected to an adjustment portion 13 adapted to allow the screw-shaped end 12 to pass through. Specifically, the adjustment portion 13 has a through-hole or slot adapted to allow the screw-shaped end 12 to pass through. An adjustment nut 14 is threadedly coupled to the portion of the screw-shaped end 12 that passes through the adjustment portion 13, and the adjustment nut 14 engages and cooperates with the adjustment portion 13.

[0040] Through the adjusting nut 14 threaded on the screw-shaped end portion 12 and the abutment cooperation between the adjusting nut 14 and the adjusting portion 13, when the second clamping portion 2 moves in a direction away from the first clamping portion 1 so that the second pressing portion 9 presses the compression spring 7, the abutment cooperation between the adjusting nut 14 and the adjusting portion 13 enables the first pressing portion 8 on the positioning column 11 to maintain the pressing of the compression spring 7, so that the first pressing portion 8 and the second pressing portion 9 jointly press the compression spring 7;

[0041] And through the position setting of the first pressing part 8, the compression spring 7, the positioning column 11 and the second pressing part 9, as well as the setting of the screw-shaped end 12, the adjusting nut 14 and the adjusting part 13, the user can set the tensile elastic force through the adjusting nut 14, that is, by screwing the adjusting nut 14 on the screw-shaped end 12, the first pressing part 8 can be adjusted to a position closer to the first clamping part 1 (that is, the distance between the first pressing part 8 and the second pressing part 9 is closer), or adjusted to a position farther away from the first clamping part 1, so that the elastic force provided by the compression spring 7 at the same clamping position is adjustable; and stepless adjustment can be achieved through the setting of the adjusting nut 14 and the screw-shaped end 12. During the production stage or in the later user use stage, corresponding elastic force adjustment can be performed according to different elastic force requirements, which can better cope with the problems of elastic force attenuation and spring preparation differences.

[0042] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first guide rail 3 and the first slider 4 can both be composed of two upper and lower shells, so that alignment and installation are more convenient during assembly.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
