Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arcade joystick technology, specifically to a toggle locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the arcade joystick locking mechanism on the market uses a snap-fit ​​method. When in use, you press it in and hear a click to lock it. This ordinary method cannot withstand certain pulling tests, and when the user moves the arcade joystick while locking the data cable, the cable may accidentally come loose after pressing a button, causing the flip cover to pop out, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a toggle locking mechanism in which the data cable is fixed by rotating to unlock and lock, which meets the requirements of pull-out force test and effectively avoids the problem of the cable accidentally coming loose or the flip cover popping open when moving the arcade joystick.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is to provide a toggle locking mechanism for an arcade joystick. The arcade joystick includes a housing and a data cable interface disposed on the housing. The locking mechanism includes a mounting groove disposed on one side of the housing with an opening at the lower end, a groove cover covering the lower opening of the mounting groove, a cable clamping plate disposed on the outer end of the groove cover, a mounting hole disposed on the groove cover, a toggle plate disposed outside the groove cover, a rotating frame disposed inside the groove cover, a lead screw disposed between the toggle plate and the rotating frame, limiting plates symmetrically disposed on both sides of the rotating frame, and limiting slots disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove. The inner end of the toggle plate is fixed to the rotating frame through the mounting hole via the lead screw. The outer end of the toggle plate is horizontally outward. The swinging of the outer end of the toggle plate drives the rotating frame and the limiting plate to rotate synchronously. The limiting plate and the limiting slots are horizontally aligned and adapted. The cable clamping plate has a cable clamping slot at one end facing the bottom of the groove.

[0005] The inner end of the groove cover is hinged to the mounting groove.

[0006] The mounting slot is provided with a wire groove, which is a groove structure with the same opening direction as the mounting slot. The data cable interface is located on the inner wall of the inner end of the wire groove, and the wire clamping groove corresponds to the outer opening of the wire groove.

[0007] An avoidance groove is provided at the outer end of the bottom of the mounting groove. The avoidance groove is located on both sides of the outer opening of the wire groove. The lower end of the wire clamping plate is adapted to the avoidance groove.

[0008] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that it provides a toggle locking mechanism. The slot cover is a cover plate that covers the lower opening of the mounting slot. The toggle plate and the slot cover are rotatably set. The outer end of the toggle plate can swing, and the inner end drives the rotating frame to rotate synchronously. The limiting plates on both sides of the rotating frame rotate synchronously, controlling the limiting plates to enter or leave the limiting slot to achieve locking or unlocking. This structure has a more stable locking and will not pop open when accidentally touched by external force. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a toggle locking mechanism for an arcade joystick. The arcade joystick includes a housing 1 and a data cable interface 2 disposed on the housing 1. The locking mechanism includes a mounting groove 3 disposed on one side of the housing 1 with an opening at the lower end, a groove cover 4 covering the lower opening of the mounting groove 3, a cable clamping plate 5 disposed on the outer end of the groove cover 4, a mounting hole disposed on the groove cover 4, a toggle plate 6 disposed outside the groove cover 4, a rotating frame 7 disposed inside the groove cover 4, a lead screw disposed between the toggle plate 6 and the rotating frame 7, limiting plates 8 symmetrically disposed on both sides of the rotating frame 7, and limiting slots 9 disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 3. The inner end of the toggle plate 6 is fixed to the rotating frame 7 by the lead screw passing through the mounting hole. The outer end of the toggle plate 6 is horizontally outward. The swinging of the outer end of the toggle plate 6 drives the rotating frame 7 and the limiting plate 8 to rotate synchronously. The limiting plate 8 and the limiting slot 9 are at the same horizontal position and are adapted to each other. The cable clamping plate 5 is provided with a cable clamping slot 10 at one end facing the bottom of the groove.

[0015] The mounting slot 3 is located on one side of the outer casing. The lower and outer ends of the mounting slot 3 are open. The data cable interface 2 is installed on the inner wall of the inner end of the mounting slot 3. One end of the male data cable extends horizontally into the mounting slot 3 from the outer end of the mounting slot 3 and is inserted into the data cable interface 2. The slot cover 4 is a cover plate that covers the lower opening of the mounting slot 3. The slot cover 4 and the cable clamping plate 5 form an L-shaped structure. The lever 6 is horizontally set on the outer end face of the slot cover 4. The slot cover 4 has a mounting hole. The inner end of the lever 6 is fixed to the rotating frame 7 through the mounting hole on the slot cover 4 by a screw. If the outer end of the lever 6 is manually moved, the outer end of the lever 6 can swing. The inner end of the lever 6 will drive the rotating frame 7 to rotate synchronously. The limiting plates 8 on both sides of the rotating frame 7 will rotate synchronously.

[0016] When in use, after inserting the male end of the data cable into the data cable interface 2 in the mounting slot 3, cover the slot with the cover 4. At this time, the wire at the rear end of the male end of the data cable is embedded in the wire-holding slot 10 at the lower end of the wire-holding plate 5. Manually move the outer end of the dial 6 to drive the rotating frame 7 and the limiting plate 8 to rotate synchronously until the outer end of the limiting plate 8 rotates into the limiting slot 9, completing the limiting. This structure locks more stably and will not pop open when accidentally touched by external force. When it is necessary to remove the data cable, simply manually move the outer end of the dial 6 in the opposite direction to drive the rotating frame 7 and the limiting plate 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the limiting plate 8 disengages from the limiting slot 9. After removing the slot cover 4, the data cable can be easily pulled out.

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the inner end of the groove cover 4 is hinged to the mounting groove 3.

[0018] The slot cover 4 is designed with a hinged connection. When opening and closing, the end cover 4 can be manually lifted or pressed from the outside of the end cover 4 to achieve the closing and opening. Moreover, the slot cover 4 is not easy to lose after opening, and it is very convenient to use.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, a wire groove 11 is provided in the mounting groove 3. The wire groove 11 is a groove structure with the same opening direction as the mounting groove 3. The data cable interface 2 is provided on the inner wall of the inner end of the wire groove 11. The wire clamping groove 10 corresponds to the outer opening of the wire groove 11.

[0020] When inserting the male connector of the data cable, the male connector enters along the wire groove 11 and is inserted into the data cable interface 2. The wire groove 11 guides the data cable, and the wire clamping groove 10 holds the cable body at the rear end of the male connector.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, an avoidance groove 12 is provided at the outer end of the bottom of the mounting groove 3. The avoidance groove 12 is located on both sides of the outer opening of the wire groove 11. The lower end of the wire clamping plate 5 is adapted to the avoidance groove 12.

[0022] After the cover 4 is closed, the lower end of the cable clamping plate 5 is embedded in the clearance groove 12. The cable clamping plate 5 protrudes out of the mounting groove 3, keeping the side of the outer shell 1 flat. The clearance groove 12 can also serve as a positioning function, reminding the user that it has been installed in place.
