[0041] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 Existing rocker mechanisms typically include a base 20, a rocker arm 30, and a swing shaft 40. The base 20 has at least two opposing sidewalls, each with a rotating hole 201. The two ends of the swing shaft 40 are rotatably connected to the rotating holes 201 on the two sidewalls. The rocker arm 30 is rotatably mounted on the base 20, and at least a portion of the rocker arm 30 passes through the swing shaft 40. The rocker arm 30 drives the swing shaft 40 to rotate relative to the base 20, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled. The swing shaft 40 is usually a one-piece structure. During the assembly of the rocker mechanism, the swing shaft 40 needs to be deformed by compression before its two ends are inserted into the rotating holes 201 on the opposing sidewalls of the base 20. Due to the limited size of the rocker mechanism, inserting the swing shaft 40 into the base 20 is difficult, resulting in low assembly efficiency.
[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a rocker mechanism and control device that eliminates the need to deform the rocker shaft assembly during the assembly process, thereby reducing assembly difficulty.
[0044] The structure and function of the rocker mechanism and control device provided in this application are described in detail below.
[0045] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The rocker mechanism 100 includes a base 1, a rocker arm 2, and a first swing shaft assembly 3. The base 1 includes a top cover 11, a first side plate 12, and a second side plate 13. Both the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 are located on the same side of the top cover 11 and are positioned opposite each other along a first direction X. The rocker arm 2 passes through the top cover 11 and can swing relative to the top cover 11. The first swing shaft assembly 3 includes a first connecting member 31 and a first swing member 32. The first swing member 32 is rotatably mounted on the first side plate 12, and the first connecting member 31 is rotatably mounted on the second side plate 13. One of the first swing member 32 and the first connecting member 31 has a first engaging portion 311, and the other has a first locking hole 321. The first engaging portion 311 engages with the first locking hole 321. At least a portion of the rocker arm 2 passes through the first swing member 32, so that when the rocker arm 2 is turned, the rocker arm 2 can drive the first swing shaft assembly 3 to swing, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled (not shown). In this embodiment, the first swing member 32 and the first connecting member 31 are fixed together by snap-fit. During the assembly process of the rocker arm mechanism 100, the first connecting member 31 can be assembled to the second side plate 13 first, the first swing member 32 can be assembled to the first side plate 12, and then the first swing member 32 and the first connecting member 31 can be snap-fitted together. It is not necessary to squeeze and deform the entire first swing shaft assembly 3 and then snap it between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13, which helps to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency of the rocker arm mechanism 100.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit portion 311 is disposed on the first connector 31, and the first snap-fit hole 321 is disposed on the first swing member 32.
[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first swing member 32 is provided with a first rotating shaft 322, and the first side plate 12 is provided with a first rotating hole 121. The first rotating shaft 322 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 121 so that under the drive of the rocker arm 2, the first swing member 32 can rotate around the first rotating hole 121 through the first rotating shaft 322.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first connecting member 31 is provided with a third rotating shaft 312, and the second side plate 13 is provided with a third rotating hole 133. The third rotating shaft 312 is rotatably disposed in the third rotating hole 133, and the third rotating hole 133 and the first rotating hole 121 are coaxial, so that the first connecting member 31 can rotate around the third rotating hole 133 through the third rotating shaft 312. In this embodiment, by rotatably disposing the third rotating shaft 312 of the first connecting member 31 in the third rotating hole 133 on the second side plate 13, the stability of the first swing shaft assembly 3 during rotation can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the rocker mechanism 100 in controlling the device to be controlled.
[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The rocker mechanism 100 includes a rotating ball 4, and the rocker arm 2 passes through the rotating ball 4. The top cover 11 is provided with a spherical groove 111, and the rotating ball 4 is at least partially received in the spherical groove 111 and can rotate within the spherical groove 111. The rocker arm 2 is connected to the top cover 11 through the rotating ball 4, so that the rocker arm 2 can swing relative to the top cover 11 through the cooperation between the rotating ball 4 and the spherical groove 111. Thus, when the rocker arm 2 is turned, the rocker arm 2 can drive the first swing shaft assembly 3 to rotate.
[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first side plate 12 has a first protrusion 122 on its surface facing the first swing member 32, and the first swing member 32 has a second protrusion 323 on its surface facing the first side plate 12. The rocker mechanism 100 includes a first reset assembly 5, which is used to reset the first swing shaft assembly 3. Specifically, the first reset assembly 5 includes a first reset rod 51, a second reset rod 52, and a first elastic member 53. One end of the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52 are both disposed on the first rotating shaft 322, and both the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 322. One end of the first elastic member 53 is connected to the first reset rod 51, and the other end of the first elastic member 53 is connected to the second reset rod 52. The first elastic member 53 is used to keep the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52 tending to move closer to each other. The first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 323 are both located between the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52. When the rocker arm 2 drives the first swing shaft assembly 3 to rotate, under the action of the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 323, the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52 rotate in a direction away from each other. When the force on the rocker arm 2 is removed, under the action of the first elastic element 53, the first reset rod 51 and the second reset rod 52 move closer to each other and drive the first swing shaft assembly 3 to reset through the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 323. In this embodiment, by setting the first reset assembly 5, it is not necessary to manually reset the first swing shaft assembly 3 during the operation of the rocker arm mechanism 100, thus improving the convenience of operation.
[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The base 1 includes a first column 14, a second column 15, a third column 16, and a fourth column 17. The first column 14, the second column 15, the third column 16, and the fourth column 17 are respectively located at the four corners of the top cover 11, and the first column 14, the second column 15, the third column 16, and the fourth column 17 are all located on the same side of the top cover 11. The first side plate 12 is located between the first column 14 and the second column 15, and the second side plate 13 is located between the third column 16 and the fourth column 17.
[0052] It is worth noting that although in this application it is not necessary to extrude and deform the first swing shaft assembly 3 before assembling it to the first rotating hole 121 on the first side plate 12 and the third rotating hole 133 on the second side plate 13, the distance between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 is limited due to the volume of the rocker mechanism 100. If it is necessary to first fix the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 to the top cover 11, then assemble the first swing member 32 to the first rotating hole 121 of the first side plate 12, and then assemble the first connecting member 31 to the third rotating hole 133 of the second side plate 13, the operation is quite difficult.
[0053] To address the above issues, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first slot 101 is provided on the side of the first column 14 facing the second column 15, and a first slot 101 is also provided on the side of the second column 15 facing the first column 14. Both first slots 101 extend along the third direction Z. One end of the first side plate 12 is engaged with the first slot 101 on the first column 14, and the other end of the first side plate 12 is engaged with the first slot 101 on the second column 15. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the surface of the top cover 11 facing the first swing shaft assembly 3, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the third direction Z. A second slot 102 is provided on the side of the third column 16 facing the fourth column 17, and a second slot 102 is also provided on the side of the fourth column 17 facing the third column 16. Both second slots 102 extend along the third direction Z. One end of the second side plate 13 is engaged with the second slot 102 on the third column 16, and the other end of the second side plate 13 is engaged with the second slot 102 on the fourth column 17. In this embodiment, by providing a first slot 101 and a second slot 102, both the first slot 101 and the second slot 102 extend along the third direction Z. During the assembly process of the rocker mechanism 100, as... Figure 4 As shown, the first connector 31 can be assembled onto the second side plate 13 firstly, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the second side plate 13 is then secured between the third column 16 and the fourth column 17 along the second slot 102; then the first swing member 32 is assembled onto the first side plate 12, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the first side plate 12 is then snapped into place between the first column 14 and the second column 15 along the first slot 101; then the first snap-fit part 311 on the first connector 31 is snapped into the first snap-fit hole 321 on the first swing member 32, thereby completing the assembly of the first swing shaft assembly 3 and improving the assembly efficiency of the first swing shaft assembly 3.
[0054] In related technologies, a resistive rocker structure, also known as a contact type, is commonly used. During the rotation of the first swing shaft assembly 3, the contact area between the two metal plates changes, resulting in a change in the resistance between them. This change in the current between the two metal plates controls the movement of the device to be controlled. However, this method results in significant wear and affects the lifespan of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0055] To address the above issues, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second side plate 13 is provided with a first mounting groove 131. The rocker mechanism 100 includes a first circuit board 9, which is mounted in the first mounting groove 131. The second side plate 13 is engaged between the third column 16 and the fourth column 17. The first circuit board 9 is provided with a first angle sensor (not shown). The first angle sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the first swing shaft assembly 3 relative to the second side plate 13, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled based on the rotation angle of the first swing shaft assembly 3. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the first swing shaft assembly 3 is detected by the first angle sensor. The first angle sensor does not need to contact the first swing shaft assembly 3, resulting in less wear and extending the life of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base 1 also includes a third side plate 18 and a fourth side plate 19, both of which are disposed on the top cover 11. The third side plate 18 and the fourth side plate 19 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction Y, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The rocker mechanism 100 includes a second swing shaft assembly 6, which includes a second connector 61 and a second swing member 62. The second connector 61 is rotatably disposed on the fourth side plate 19, and the second swing member 62 is rotatably disposed on the third side plate 18. One of the second swing member 62 and the second connector 61 is provided with a second locking part 611, and the other is provided with a second locking hole 621. The second locking part 611 is locked into the second locking hole 621. At least a portion of the rocker arm 2 passes through the second swing member 62, so that when the rocker arm 2 is turned, the rocker arm 2 can drive the second swing shaft assembly 6 to swing, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled. In this embodiment, the second swing member 62 and the second connecting member 61 are fixed together by snap-fit. During the assembly of the rocker mechanism 100, the second connecting member 61 can be assembled to the second side plate 13 first, the second swing member 62 can be assembled to the second side plate 13 first, and then the second swing member 62 and the second connecting member 61 can be snap-fitted together. It is not necessary to squeeze and deform the entire second swing shaft assembly 6 and then snap it between the third side plate 18 and the fourth side plate 19. This helps to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0057] Furthermore, the first swing member 32 is provided with a first swing groove 324 extending along the first direction X, and the second swing member 62 is provided with a second swing groove 622 extending along the second direction Y. The rocker arm 2 passes through the first swing groove 324 and the second swing groove 622 sequentially along the first direction X. In this embodiment, by providing the first swing groove 324 and the second swing groove 622, when the first swing shaft assembly 3 is driven to rotate by the rocker arm 2, the second swing groove 622 can avoid the rocker arm 2, so that the second swing member 62 will not affect the rotation of the first swing shaft assembly 3; or when the second swing shaft assembly 6 is driven to rotate by the rocker arm 2, the first swing groove 324 can avoid the rocker arm 2, so that the first swing member 32 will not affect the rotation of the second swing shaft assembly 6.
[0058] Furthermore, the aforementioned second latching portion 611 is disposed on the second connecting member 61, and the second latching hole 621 is disposed on the second swing member 62.
[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The second swing member 62 is provided with a second rotating shaft 623, and the third side plate 18 is provided with a second rotating hole 182. The second rotating shaft 623 is rotatably disposed in the second rotating hole 182 so that the second swing member 62 can rotate around the second rotating hole 182 through the second rotating shaft 623 under the drive of the rocker arm 2.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The second connecting member 61 is provided with a fourth rotating shaft 612, and the fourth side plate 19 is provided with a fourth rotating hole 193. The fourth rotating shaft 612 is rotatably disposed in the fourth rotating hole 193, and the fourth rotating hole 193 and the second rotating hole 182 are coaxial, so that the second connecting member 61 can rotate around the fourth rotating hole 193 through the fourth rotating shaft 612. In this embodiment, by rotatably disposing the fourth rotating shaft 612 of the second connecting member 61 in the fourth rotating hole 193 on the fourth side plate 19, the stability of the second swing shaft assembly 6 during rotation can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the rocker mechanism 100 in controlling the device under control.
[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The third side plate 18 has a third protrusion 181 on its surface facing the second swing member 62, and the second swing member 62 has a fourth protrusion 624 on its surface facing the third side plate 18. The rocker mechanism 100 includes a second reset assembly 7, which is used to reset the second swing shaft assembly 6. Specifically, the second reset assembly 7 includes a third reset rod 71, a fourth reset rod 72, and a second elastic member 73. One end of both the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72 is disposed on the second rotating shaft 623, and both the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 623. One end of the second elastic member 73 is connected to the third reset rod 71, and the other end of the second elastic member 73 is connected to the fourth reset rod 72. The second elastic member 73 is used to keep the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72 tending to move closer to each other. The third protrusion 181 and the fourth protrusion 624 are both located between the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72. When the rocker arm 2 drives the second swing shaft assembly 6 to rotate, under the action of the third protrusion 181 and the fourth protrusion 624, the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72 rotate in a direction away from each other. When the force on the rocker arm 2 is removed, under the action of the second elastic element 73, the third reset rod 71 and the fourth reset rod 72 move closer to each other and drive the second swing shaft assembly 6 to reset through the third protrusion 181 and the fourth protrusion 624. In this embodiment, by setting the second reset assembly 7, it is not necessary to manually reset the second swing shaft assembly 6 during the operation of the rocker arm mechanism 100, thus improving the convenience of operation.
[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second column 15 has a third slot 103 on the side facing the third column 16, and the third column 16 also has a third slot 103 on the side facing the second column 15. Both third slots 103 extend along the third direction Z. One end of the third side plate 18 is engaged with the third slot 103 on the second column 15, and the other end of the third side plate 18 is engaged with the third slot 103 on the third column 16. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the surface of the top cover 11 facing the second swing shaft assembly 6, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the third direction Z. The fourth column 17 has a fourth slot 104 on the side facing the first column 14, and the first column 14 also has a fourth slot 104 on the side facing the fourth column 17. Both fourth slots 104 extend along the third direction Z. One end of the fourth side plate 19 is engaged with the fourth slot 104 on the fourth column 17, and the other end of the fourth side plate 19 is engaged with the fourth slot 104 on the first column 14. In this embodiment, by providing a third slot 103 and a fourth slot 104, both of which extend in the third direction Z, during the assembly process of the rocker mechanism 100, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the second connector 61 can be assembled onto the fourth side plate 19 first, as follows: Figure 9As shown, the fourth side plate 19 is then secured between the fourth column 17 and the first column 14 along the fourth slot 104; the second swing member 62 is then assembled onto the third side plate 18, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the third side plate 18 is then snapped into place between the second column 15 and the third column 16 along the third slot 103; then the second snap-fit part 611 on the second connector 61 is snapped into the second snap-fit hole 621 on the second swing member 62, thereby completing the assembly of the second swing shaft assembly 6 and improving the assembly efficiency of the second swing shaft assembly 6.
[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The fourth side plate 19 is provided with a second mounting groove 191. The rocker mechanism 100 includes a second circuit board 10, which is mounted in the second mounting groove 191. The fourth side plate 19 is snapped between the first column 14 and the fourth column 17. The second circuit board 10 is provided with a second angle sensor (not shown). The second angle sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the second swing shaft assembly 6 relative to the fourth side plate 19, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled based on the rotation angle of the second swing shaft assembly 6. Compared with the resistive rocker 2, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the second swing shaft assembly 6 is detected by the second angle sensor. The second angle sensor does not need to contact the second swing shaft assembly 6, resulting in less wear and extending the life of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The rocker mechanism 100 includes a bottom cover 8, which is disposed opposite to a top cover 11 along a third direction Z. The bottom cover 8 is screwed to at least one of the first column 14, the second column 15, the third column 16, and the fourth column 17. The first side plate 12, the second side plate 13, the third side plate 18, and the fourth side plate 19 all abut against the bottom cover 8, so that the bottom cover 8 and the top cover 11 together restrict the movement of the first side plate 12, the second side plate 13, the third side plate 18, and the fourth side plate 19 along a third direction Z, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the first side plate 12, the second side plate 13, the third side plate 18, and the fourth side plate 19.
[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The joystick 2 is equipped with a handle 21, which is located at the end of the joystick 2 opposite to the first swing axis assembly 3. The user can operate the joystick 2 through the handle 21 to control the rotation of the first swing axis assembly 3 and the second swing axis assembly 6, thereby controlling the device to be controlled. The handle 21 provides the user with a better tactile feel and enhances the user's operating experience.
[0066] In some embodiments, the handle 21 is provided with a button 211, which is electrically connected to at least one of the first circuit board 124 and the second circuit board 184. The button 211 is used to control the rocker mechanism 100, thereby controlling the movement of the device to be controlled. In this embodiment, by providing the button 211, it is beneficial to increase the variety of control functions of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first swing member 32 and the first connecting member 31 are fixed together by snap-fit. During the assembly of the rocker mechanism 100, the first connecting member 31 can be assembled onto the second side plate 13 first, the first swing member 32 can be assembled onto the first side plate 12, and then the first swing member 32 and the first connecting member 31 can be snap-fitted together. This eliminates the need to squeeze and deform the entire first swing shaft assembly 3 before snapping it between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13, which helps to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency of the rocker mechanism 100.
[0068] This application also provides an embodiment of a control device, which includes the rocker mechanism 100 described above. For the specific structure and function of the rocker mechanism 100, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
