Technical Field

[0002] A game controller is an input device for video game consoles. By manipulating its buttons and other controls, users can control virtual characters in the game. Standard controller configurations typically include a D-pad, ABXY buttons, select and pause buttons, and other control buttons.
[0003] In the routine production and subsequent testing of game controllers, workers often manually pick up and flip the controllers. While mechanical grippers are sometimes used for positioning, the irregular shape of game controllers and the existence of different sub-specifications for the same main model make traditional gripping mechanisms ineffective. Problems during gripping may include: game controller slippage, inaccurate positioning, and difficulty in detecting controller flipping. In practical applications, different gripping mechanisms are often required, but these mechanisms have low applicability and operational efficiency, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, in actual manufacturing, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Figures 1-3 The diagram shown is a complete structural schematic of a game controller clamping mechanism according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 This embodiment of a game controller clamping mechanism includes a support plate frame 100. The upper side of the support plate frame 100 has a horizontal rail 200 and a rotational shifting component 300 for driving the horizontal rail 200 to rotate longitudinally. Slider 210s are slidably opposed at both ends of one side of the horizontal rail 200 and a reciprocating drive component 400 for driving the two sliders 210 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions. A connecting rod 220 is fixed to the outside of the slider 210. A U-shaped frame 500 is fixed to the outer end of the connecting rod 220. A positioning plate 510 and a drive device for driving the positioning plate 510 to rotate longitudinally are mounted on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 500. Detachable clamping molds 600 are respectively mounted on both sides of the positioning plate 510.
[0023] The rotary positioning assembly 300 includes a positioning cylinder 310 longitudinally fixed to the upper end of the support plate frame 100, a shaft disk 320 rotatably mounted on the inner side and front end of the positioning cylinder 310 with coaxial bearings, and a servo motor 330 located at the rear end of the positioning cylinder 310 and whose output end is coaxially connected to the shaft disk 320; wherein, the front end of the shaft disk 320 is fixedly connected to the central part of the horizontal rail 200. When it is necessary to perform flip-side detection on the game controller, the horizontal rail 200, the U-shaped frame 500, and the game controller can be driven to rotate longitudinally by the cooperation of the servo motor 330, the positioning cylinder 310, and the shaft disk 320, realizing the function of flip detection of the game controller during clamping. The production operation is more efficient and the positioning is more accurate. The angle at which the game controller needs to be flipped can be adjusted according to actual needs. The horizontal rail 200 has a groove 2001 on one side that matches the slider 210; the reciprocating drive assembly 400 includes a bidirectional lead screw 410 with both ends rotatably mounted inside the groove 2001 and threadedly connected to the two sliders 210, and a servo motor 420 mounted on the outside of the horizontal rail 200 with its output end connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 410. The servo motor 420 drives the bidirectional lead screw 410 to rotate and, under the limiting action of the groove 2001, drives the two sliders 210 to move synchronously relative to or away from each other. The two sliders 210 can drive the U-shaped frame 500 and the clamping mold 600 to move relative to or away from each other via the connecting rod 220. When moving relative to each other, the clamping molds 600 on both sides form a clamping and positioning of the game controller, which has good reliability. The positioning plate 510 has rotating shafts 520 fixed at both ends. The rotating shafts 520 are rotatably mounted inside the U-shaped frame 500. A servo motor 530 with an output shaft connected to the rotating shaft 520 is also provided on the outer side of the U-shaped frame 500. It can be understood that in practical applications, the cross-section of the positioning plate 510 can also be triangular, rectangular, etc., and each side corresponds to a matching game controller. For ease of explanation and understanding, this embodiment adopts a double-sided mounting structure. Specifically, when it is necessary to clamp and position another game controller, the servo motor 530 drives the positioning plate 510, which is hinged to the inner side of the U-shaped frame 500, to rotate 180°, thereby driving the clamping mold 600 to rotate, so that the clamping molds 600 on both sides are adapted to the ends / sides of the game controller. There is no need to stop the machine midway to disassemble and replace the clamping mold 600, and the work production efficiency is significantly improved.Specifically, in this embodiment, the parallel closing of the two clamping molds 600 can be achieved through the cooperation of the horizontal rail 200, the slider 210, and the rotary positioning component 300, and the game controller placed in the middle can be clamped and positioned. This method is highly targeted and stable. At the same time, with the cooperation of the support plate frame 100 and the rotary positioning component 300, the clamping mold 600 and the game controller can be rotated 360° longitudinally, realizing the function of flipping the game controller during the clamping process, making the operation more efficient. In addition, with the cooperation of the U-shaped frame 500, the positioning plate 510, and the motor, the clamping mold 600 corresponding to the game controller can be quickly switched, without the need to disassemble and replace the clamping mold 600 or build a new clamping mechanism during the operation. This improves the versatility of the clamping mechanism and significantly improves the work production efficiency.
[0024] Preferably, the positioning plate 510 has connecting blocks 511 at its upper and lower ends, and the clamping mold 600 has connecting blocks 610 at its upper and lower ends corresponding to connecting blocks 511. Connecting blocks 511 and 610 are connected by bolts. It should be noted that although the screw connection between connecting blocks 511 and 610 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the positioning plate 510 and the clamping mold 600, other installation structures, such as snap-fit or magnetic connections, can also be used, as long as they facilitate installation and disassembly.
[0025] Preferably, the support plate frame 100 is further fixed to a base 700 at its bottom. During actual installation, the base 700 should be fixed to the load-bearing platform to make the clamping mechanism more stable during use.
[0026] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
