Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steering wheel for a racing game console, belonging to the field of game console technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and the continuous growth of entertainment demand, the video game industry is booming. Racing games, as a popular category within the video game field, attract a large player base with their thrilling competition and immersive driving experience, enjoying immense popularity in both home entertainment environments and commercial gaming venues.

[0003] Existing racing and speedboat games are equipped with steering wheels. In order to simulate a more realistic driving experience, most steering wheel linkages use springs to apply tension to the steering wheel to improve the realism of operation. However, the simulation effect of the above method is still not ideal, resulting in lower fun for players. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steering wheel for a racing game console to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a design for a racing game machine steering wheel, including a steering wheel and a frame for mounting the steering wheel. The frame and the steering wheel are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft, one end of which passes through the frame. The frame is provided with a driving component for driving the steering wheel to rotate.

[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a motor, the output shaft of the motor is provided with a first synchronous pulley, the end of the connecting shaft is provided with a second synchronous pulley, and a synchronous belt is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley and the second synchronous pulley.

[0008] Preferably, the frame includes a mounting panel with a U-shaped longitudinal section and supports on both sides of the mounting panel with an L-shaped cross-section.

[0009] Preferably, a motor bracket is provided between the two brackets, and the motor bracket is used to install the motor.

[0010] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a potentiometer for detecting the steering wheel rotation angle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] By using a drive component to drive the connecting shaft and steering wheel, the steering feel of the simulated driving can be made more realistic when the player operates the steering wheel, depending on the game scenario, thus increasing the simulation and fun. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a racing game console steering wheel includes a steering wheel 3 and a frame for mounting the steering wheel 3. The frame and the steering wheel 3 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft 4. One end of the connecting shaft 4 passes through the frame. The frame is equipped with a drive component for driving the steering wheel 3 to rotate. When the player operates the steering wheel 3, the steering feel of the simulated driving can be made more realistic according to the game scene, increasing the simulation and fun effect.

[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving component includes a motor 6, the output shaft of the motor 6 is provided with a first synchronous pulley 7, and the end of the connecting shaft 4 is provided with a second synchronous pulley 8. A synchronous belt 9 is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 7 and the second synchronous pulley 8. When it is necessary to rotate the steering wheel 3, the motor 6 is controlled to work, and the connecting shaft 4 drives the steering wheel 3 to rotate under the transmission of the first synchronous pulley 7, the second synchronous pulley 8 and the synchronous belt 9. By using the cooperation of the first synchronous pulley 7, the second synchronous pulley 8 and the synchronous belt 9, the steering wheel 3 can be accurately rotated to the specified angle, ensuring authenticity.
