[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there is no intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only."

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a waterproof joystick structure, including a joystick 1, a waterproof assembly 2, and a joystick controller housing 3. The joystick 1 includes a joystick cap 11 disposed on the outside of the joystick controller housing 3, and an upper joystick bracket 12, a lower joystick bracket 13, and a joystick component 14 disposed on the inside of the joystick controller housing 3. The waterproof assembly 2 includes a wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 and a hollow annular bracket 22.

[0030] One side of the rocker upper bracket 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the rocker cap 11, and the other side of the rocker upper bracket 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the rocker component 14; the rocker lower bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rocker upper bracket 12, and forms a gap with a horizontal T-shaped cross section with the rocker upper bracket 12;

[0031] The hollow annular bracket 22 surrounds the joystick component 14 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the joystick controller housing 3; the outer ring cross-section of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 is a U-shape 211, and the outer bottom surface of the U-shape 211 abuts the hollow annular bracket 22, and the other end of the inner ring cross-section of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 is a T-shape 212, and the T-shape 212 is embedded in the horizontal T-shaped gap; the inner side of the joystick controller housing 3 is provided with a circle of protrusions 31, and the protrusions 31 abut the inner bottom surface of the U-shape 211.

[0032] In this embodiment, because the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 exhibits extrusion deformation, an interference fit is achieved when the inner T-shaped ring 212 of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 is inserted into the horizontal T-shaped gap formed by the upper rocker bracket 12 and the lower rocker bracket 13. Furthermore, an interference fit is achieved when the outer U-shaped ring 211 of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 is squeezed between the inner protrusion 31 of the rocker controller housing 3 and the hollow annular bracket 22. When liquid flows from the rocker's movable gap into the inner side of the rocker controller housing 3, it is blocked by the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21, achieving waterproof performance for the rocker controller. Furthermore, the use of the wavy flexible waterproof ring as a waterproof component in this application ensures the rocker's free movement without being affected, while maintaining the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the rocker controller.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 or Figure 7 As shown, an upper convex groove 121 is provided on one side of the joystick upper bracket 12, and the upper convex groove 121 passes through the joystick controller housing 3 and is fixedly connected to one end of the joystick cap 11; a lower convex groove 122 is provided on the other side of the joystick upper bracket 12, and one end of the joystick component 14 is fixedly connected to the lower convex groove 122.

[0034] In this embodiment, the convex groove is a groove extending outward from the surface of the protruding bracket. By setting the upper convex groove 121 and the lower convex groove 122, the connection between the rocker cap 11 and the rocker component 14 can be achieved, and the connection stability can be improved, reducing the breakage of the rocker during the activity and increasing the service life of the rocker.

[0035] In some embodiments, one end of the rocker cap 11 is bolted to the bottom of the upper convex groove 121. The bolt connection can facilitate the removal of the rocker cap 11, meeting the user's need to replace the unused rocker cap 11.

[0036] In some embodiments, the rocker upper bracket 12 is bolted to the rocker lower bracket 13. The bolted connection between the upper bracket and the lower bracket facilitates the installation of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 and facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0037] In some embodiments, the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 is made of silicone material. The extrusion deformation characteristics of the silicone material can meet the structural design of the interference fit of the wavy flexible waterproof ring, improve the waterproof performance, and the soft characteristics of the silicone material ensure that the rocker movement is not affected.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 has at least one wave shape that is recessed toward the rocker component 14. This recessed design increases the surface area of ​​the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21, allowing it to deform sufficiently during rocker movement to ensure the rocker's activity remains unaffected. The recessed design also concentrates liquid that flows through the rocker's gap, limiting further flow and further improving waterproof performance.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 or Figure 7 As shown, the outer ring of the hollow annular bracket 22 is provided with a circle of limiting convex edge 221. The setting of the limiting convex edge 221 can prevent the outer ring U-shaped 211 of the wavy flexible waterproof ring 21 from displacement and separation from the hollow annular bracket 22, thereby improving the service life of the waterproof rocker structure.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 or Figure 7 As shown, the outer edge height of the U-shape 211 is greater than the height of the limiting convex edge 221 to prevent liquid from flowing into the hollow annular bracket 22 from the rocker movable gap (it should be understood that this phenomenon will not occur in an interference fit structure under normal circumstances).

[0041] In some embodiments, the hollow annular bracket 22 is bolted to the inner side of the joystick controller housing 3 to facilitate disassembly and maintenance of the waterproof joystick structure.

[0042] The present invention also provides a joystick controller including the aforementioned waterproof joystick structure. This joystick controller includes, but is not limited to, a remote control, game controller, or operating handle with a joystick. This joystick controller utilizes a wavy flexible waterproof ring as a waterproof component, leveraging the deformation of the flexible material to create an interference fit with the bracket. This achieves high-level waterproof performance (IPX8) while maintaining the joystick's tactile feel and significantly improving the controller's quality and service life. Furthermore, the waterproof structure is integrated into the joystick controller's housing, preserving the controller's aesthetically pleasing design.

[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
