Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a game machine rocker rod cap especially relates to a height -adjustable rocker rod cap. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the era of the booming development of today's electronic game industry, as the key external device for game players to control game characters and realize various game operations, the ergonomics design and operation convenience of gamepad have received more and more attention. Among them, the rocker, as one of the core control components on the gamepad, undertakes the important function of accurately controlling the movement of the game character, the rotation of the view angle and the execution of various complex actions.

[0003] However, the height of the traditional gamepad rocker cap widely existing on the market is fixed at the product design stage, and cannot be adjusted according to the individual differences of players and the diversified use scene requirements. Different players have different comfort requirements for the height of the rocker due to the size of their hands, the length ratio of their fingers and the uniqueness of their personal operation habits. For example, child players or players with small hands may have difficulty in accurately exerting force when using a standard height rocker, which may lead to a decrease in operation accuracy and may cause hand fatigue or discomfort after a long time of holding. For some adult players or players with large hands who prefer large-scale and fast operation, fixed lower rocker height may limit their operation amplitude and speed, which may not fully develop their operation skills and may also affect the smoothness and immersion of the game experience.

[0004] In addition, with the increasing richness of game types, there are significant differences in the fineness and amplitude requirements of rocker operation for different games. In games such as competitive shooting games, strategy simulation games and other games that require precise micro-operation, lower rocker height helps players control the small movements of the character and accurate aiming more subtly; while in racing games, action adventure games and other games that emphasize fast response and large-scale action, relatively higher rocker height allows players to more conveniently realize fast steering, hard pushing and other operations, enhancing the control and excitement in the game process.

[0005] While some patents have proposed solutions to the joystick height adjustment problem, such as the utility model patent with Chinese patent announcement number CN 220918105 U, which discloses an adjustable joystick structure, this patent places the adjustment tooth structure directly at the lower end of the joystick cap. This, in conjunction with the tooth structure on the joystick cap base, creates a serrated notch at the lower end of the joystick cap. This not only reduces the structural strength of the joystick cap but also, in actual use, if the adjustment tooth structure wears out due to frequent adjustments or other reasons, the entire joystick cap needs to be replaced because it is integrally molded with the joystick cap. This undoubtedly increases the user's usage and maintenance costs, causing inconvenience.

[0006] In conclusion, existing fixed-height gamepad joysticks and some existing adjustable-height joystick solutions have certain limitations and cannot fully meet the growing personalized needs and diverse gaming experiences of players. Therefore, developing a gamepad joystick that can achieve flexible height adjustment while ensuring structural strength and reducing maintenance costs has become an urgent need to improve the versatility, comfort, and user experience of gamepads, and has significant market value and practical application significance. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings by providing an adjustable height rocker cap.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the rocker arm connector is provided with a plug interface, which is connected to the potentiometer rocker arm.

[0010] Furthermore, a decorative cover is attached to the upper side of the rocker arm connector by screws.

[0011] Furthermore, the rod cap is connected to the lifting ring by screws.

[0012] Furthermore, the height adjustment locking position includes two sets of symmetrically distributed unidirectional height increasing locking positions, and correspondingly, the locking shaft part on the lifting locking ring is two.

[0013] Furthermore, the spring pressing part is a round-headed screw with a washer.

[0014] Further, the rod cap comprises a tubular column part and a cap head part, the tubular column part and the cap head part are designed in a split body, and the cap head part is connected to the tubular column part through threads.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of:

[0016] 1. Support highly personalized adjustment: The utility model allows players to freely and accurately adjust the height of the joystick according to their own hand physiological characteristics and operation habits, such as hand size, finger length ratio, and personal preferred operation force and amplitude. Whether it is a child player, an adult player, or a professional e-sports player, they can find the most suitable joystick height, greatly improving the comfort and accuracy of operation, thereby enhancing the control experience and competitive performance during the game process.

[0017] 2. Adapt to various game types: Given that different games have different requirements for joystick operation, the adjustable height function of the utility model allows the same gamepad to adapt to various game scenarios. In competitive shooting and strategy simulation games that require fine operation, players can adjust the joystick to a lower height to achieve precise control of the subtle movements of game characters, such as precise aiming and small-range walking. In racing and action adventure games that emphasize quick response and large-scale actions, players can raise the joystick to facilitate quick steering and large-scale operations such as powerful pushing, fully meeting the control needs of different game types, widening the application range of the gamepad, and improving its versatility and practicality.

[0018] 3. Enhance structural stability and durability: Compared with some existing patents (such as CN 220918105 U) that set the adjustment teeth structure at the lower end of the joystick cap, resulting in reduced structural strength, the utility model uses a height adjustment clamping part on the lifting clasp independent of the cap and the joystick connection seat, avoiding damage to the structural integrity of the joystick cap and effectively maintaining the structural strength of the joystick as a whole. At the same time, this design makes the easily worn parts relatively independent of the joystick body. When the adjustment parts wear out, the entire joystick cap does not need to be replaced, only the specific worn parts need to be replaced or repaired, significantly reducing maintenance costs and replacement difficulty, prolonging the service life of the gamepad, and reducing the time and economic costs of players due to equipment maintenance.

[0019] 4. Improve user experience and satisfaction: by providing highly adjustable functions and ensuring the durability and stability of the product, the utility model comprehensively improves the experience of players during the game process. Players can maintain a comfortable operating posture during a long game process, reducing hand fatigue, thereby focusing more on the game itself, immersing in the game world, improving the entertainment and interest of the game. This good use experience helps to improve the satisfaction and loyalty of players to the game handle, establishes a good brand image for the game handle manufacturer, occupies an advantageous position in market competition, has significant economic benefits and market promotion value.
