[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model embodiment provides a kind of key height quick switching mechanism, which is applied to game controller.The key height quick switching mechanism includes key main body 10, elastic support 20 and push rod 30.

[0047] The pressing portion 11 of the key main body 10 protrudes from the lower shell 70 of the controller, and at least two tooth grooves 12 are provided on the side of the key main body 10 away from the pressing portion 11. The number of tooth grooves 12 can be determined according to actual needs, for example, two, three or more. As Figure 1 shown, three tooth grooves 12 are provided on the side of the key main body 10 away from the pressing portion 11, from top to bottom, they are tooth groove 121, tooth groove 122 and tooth groove 123.

[0048] One end of the elastic support 20 is fixed to the lower shell 70 of the controller, and the other end of the elastic support 20 has a trigger portion 21, which is located below the trigger switch 90 (i.e. the tactile switch). The key main body 10 is rotatably connected to the other end of the elastic support 20 and can be reset. That is, after the user presses the pressing portion 11 of the key main body 10 and releases it, the key main body 10 will reset to the position when it is not pressed. The key main body 10 is preferably connected to the elastic support 20 near the trigger portion 21 on one side, and at this time, the pressing portion 11 is located below the trigger portion 21.

[0049] The utility model adopts the above-mentioned design of the elastic support 20, only one end of the elastic support 20 is fixed, and the other end of the elastic support 20 is not fixed to any device, so the other end of the elastic support 20 forms a cantilever structure, which has elastic deformation capability. When the user presses the pressing portion 11 of the key main body 10, since the key main body 10 is connected to the other end of the elastic support 20, it will drive the other end of the elastic support 20 to elastically deform, so that the trigger portion 21 moves together with the pressing direction.

[0050] The push rod 30 is slidably limited in the controller lower shell 70, the bottom end of the push rod 30 extends out of the controller lower shell 70, one side of the push rod 30 is provided with a plug-in part 31, the plug-in part 31 faces the tooth groove 12 and can be plugged into one of the tooth grooves 12, so that the key body 10 can be switched between the retracted state and the triggerable state. When the key body 10 is in the retracted state, the inner side surface of the pressing part 11 abuts against the surface of the controller lower shell 70, at this time, since the two are in abutment, the pressing part 11 cannot be pressed. When the key body 10 is in the triggerable state, the inner side surface of the pressing part 11 is away from the surface of the controller lower shell 70, at this time, the pressing part 11 can be pressed to cause the other end of the elastic support 20 to elastically deform, so that the trigger part 21 abuts against the trigger switch 90, and the key body triggering function is realized.

[0051] In some embodiments, a silica gel cap 40 is arranged on the trigger part 21, and the trigger part 21 contacts the trigger switch 90 through the silica gel cap 90.

[0052] When the key body 10 is in the triggerable state, the pressing part 11 is pressed to cause the other end of the elastic support 20 to elastically deform, so that the trigger part 21 abuts against the trigger switch 90 through the silica gel cap 90, and the key body triggering function is realized.

[0053] The silica gel cap 90 is preferably connected to the trigger part 21 in a plug-in manner or a clamping manner.

[0054] In some embodiments, the trigger part 21 is integrally formed with the elastic support 20.

[0055] In some embodiments, the trigger part 21 adopts a protruding convex structure or a column structure.

[0056] In some embodiments, the elastic support 20 is made of a plastic material.

[0057] The plastic material has good elastic deformation capability, and the elastic deformation capability of the elastic support 20 realizes the pressing and rebounding.

[0058] In some embodiments, the key height quick switching mechanism further comprises a reset member 50, one end of the reset member 50 contacts a shell wall in the controller lower shell 70, and the other end of the reset member 50 abuts against the push rod 30, so as to provide a reset force of the push rod 30 towards the tooth groove 12.

[0059] That is, when the push rod 30 moves away from the tooth groove 12, the reset force of the reset member 50 needs to be overcome to slide, and when the push rod 30 is released, the push rod 30 returns to the state of being plugged into one of the tooth grooves 12 under the reset force of the reset member 50. So that the key body 10 can maintain one of the retracted state and the triggerable state without external force in use.

[0060] In the embodiment, the controller lower shell 70 can be provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the key assembly, and one side cavity wall serves as a shell wall and abuts against one end of the reset member 50.

[0061] In some embodiments, the push rod 30 has a reset connecting column 32 on the side opposite to the insertion portion 31. The reset member 50 is a spring, and a part of the spring is sleeved outside the reset connecting column 32 and the other end abuts against the side wall of the push rod 30.

[0062] In some embodiments, the elastic support 20 is provided with an avoiding opening 22 at one end, the insertion portion 31 penetrates through the avoiding opening 22, and the end of the insertion portion 31 is inserted into one of the tooth grooves 12.

[0063] In the embodiment, the push rod 30 is located on the side of the elastic support 20 away from the trigger portion 21, the insertion portion 31 can be inserted into or away from the tooth groove 12 through the avoiding opening 22, and the avoiding opening 22 also plays a certain guiding role.

[0064] In some embodiments, the key body 10 and the other end of the elastic support 20 are rotationally connected in a resettable manner through the latch 13 and the torsion spring 14.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 two support connecting holes are arranged on the two sides of the elastic support 20, and two key body connecting holes are arranged on the two sides of the key body 10, the two support connecting holes are located inside or outside the key body connecting holes, the appearance is more simple when the two support connecting holes are located inside the key body connecting holes, and therefore Figure 1 the two support connecting holes are located inside the key body connecting holes, and the two support connecting holes are connected by the torsion spring 14. Of course, when the key body connecting holes are located between the two support connecting holes, the torsion spring 14 is located between the two key body connecting holes. The lower end of the torsion spring 14 abuts against the inner wall of the elastic support 20, and the upper end abuts against the inner wall of the key body 10. The latch 13 penetrates through the two support connecting holes, the two key body connecting holes and the torsion spring 14.

[0066] Of course, any other existing structure can be used between the key body 10 and the elastic support 20 to realize the rotationally connected in a resettable manner.

[0067] In some embodiments, of the at least two tooth grooves 12, one is a retraction tooth groove for making the key body 10 in a retracted state, and at least one is a triggerable tooth groove for making the key body 10 in a triggerable state. The arrangement direction of the retraction tooth groove to the triggerable tooth groove is opposite to the pressing direction of the pressing portion 11.

[0068] The retraction tooth groove in the embodiment is one, for example Figure 1 the tooth groove 121 shown in the figure. The triggerable tooth groove in the utility model is one or several, for example Figure 1The tooth grooves 122 and 123 are shown. When the pressing direction of the pressing part 11 is an arc line from bottom to top, the arrangement direction of the tooth grooves 121-123 is an arc line from top to bottom.

[0069] In actual implementation, one, two or more triggerable tooth grooves can be set according to the user's usage habits, so that the height of the rotating and lifting of the pressing part 11 of the key body 10 forms multiple gears to match the user's richer usage habits.

[0070] In some embodiments, the tooth grooves 12 are at least three, one is a retraction tooth groove for making the key body 10 in a retracted state, and at least two are triggerable tooth grooves for making the key body 10 in a triggerable state, so that the key body 10 can be switched to several different triggerable states with different distances between the inner side of the pressing part 11 and the surface of the controller lower shell 70.

[0071] Since there are multiple triggerable tooth grooves, the triggerable state in this embodiment is different in multiple cases, so that the height of the rotating and lifting of the pressing part 11 of the key body 10 forms multiple gears to match the user's richer usage habits.

[0072] Referring to Figure 2 , the utility model embodiment further provides a controller, the controller has controller upper shell 60, controller lower shell 70, mainboard 80, trigger switch 90 and at least one key assembly 100, and the controller upper shell 60 and controller lower shell 70 are detachably connected to form containing space, and the mainboard 80, trigger switch 90 and key assembly 100 are arranged in the containing space, and the key assembly 100 adopts the key height quick switching mechanism provided by the first aspect of the utility model.

[0073] As shown in Figures 2 to 5C , the key assembly 100 on the controller is two, and the two key assemblies 100 are symmetrically arranged in the containing space. The bottom end of the push rod 30 in the key assembly 100 respectively extends out of the containing space and is located outside the controller lower shell 70, so as to switch different states.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the trigger switch 90 is arranged on the mainboard 80.

[0075] In some embodiments, the mainboard 80 is fixed on the controller upper shell 60.

[0076] In some embodiments, the key assembly 100 is fixed on the controller lower shell 70 through the elastic support 20.

[0077] Embodiment 1:

[0078] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The key assembly of the embodiment adopts the key height quick switching mechanism provided by each of the above embodiments. The tooth groove 12 is three, which are tooth groove 121, tooth groove 122 and tooth groove 123.

[0079] The key body 10 of the embodiment has a retracted state and two triggerable states, which are a first state, i.e. a retracted state, as shown in Figures 3A to 3C , a second state, i.e. a low-angle triggerable state, as shown in Figures 4A to 4C , and a third state, i.e. a high-angle triggerable state, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C . The switching among the three states is achieved by pushing the push rod 30 to adjust and select the corresponding tooth groove 12, so as to determine one of the states.

[0080] Referring to Figures 3A to 3C , when in the first state, the insertion part 31 of the push rod 30 is inserted into the tooth groove 121 of the key body 10 under the resetting force of the resetting member 50, the inner side surface of the key body 10 is in coincidence with the curved surface of the lower shell 70 of the controller, and the gap between the key body 10 and the lower shell 91 of the controller is small enough to trigger the trigger switch 90. In this state, the press part 11 cannot press the trigger switch 90, and a key body retracting function is achieved, which is particularly suitable for games without the key body.

[0081] When the second state is needed to be adjusted, the push rod 30 is pushed, and the insertion part 31 of the push rod 30 is separated from the tooth groove 121 or the tooth groove 123 of the key body 10. The key body 10 rotates under the action of the resetting force (such as the torsional spring 14). When the rotation reaches the middle position of the stroke, the push rod 30 is released, and the insertion part 31 of the push rod 30 is inserted into the tooth groove 122 of the key body 10 under the pushing force of the resetting member 50. Referring to Figures 4A to 4C , in this state, the key body 10 and the elastic support 20 are connected under the action of the push rod 30 and the resetting member 50. When the press part 11 is pressed, the trigger part 21 of the elastic support 20 is deformed to trigger the trigger switch 90, and the key body triggering function is completed. In the second state, the key body 10 is rotated and raised to a certain height, and the key body function can be normally used, which is suitable for some users who are not easy to mis-trigger the conventional key body, and the user's habit can be changed.

[0082] When the third state is needed to be adjusted, the push rod 30 is pushed, and the insertion part 31 of the push rod 30 is separated from the tooth groove 122 or the tooth groove 121 of the key body 10. The key body 10 rotates under the action of the resetting force (such as the torsional spring 14). When the rotation reaches the bottom position of the stroke, the push rod 30 is released, and the insertion part 31 of the push rod 30 is inserted into the tooth groove 123 of the key body 10 under the pushing force of the resetting member 50. Referring to Figures 5A to 5CIn the third state, the key body 10 is rotated to a higher height than the second state, and the finger needs to be slightly stretched to press the key body when the key body function is used, which is suitable for some users who are prone to misoperation of the conventional key body 10, and the habit of the user is not changed much.

[0083] The utility model is described in detail above in combination with the embodiments of the drawings, and the ordinary skilled in the art can make various change examples of the utility model according to the above description. Thus, some details in the embodiments should not constitute the limitation of the utility model, and the utility model will take the range defined in the attached claims as the protection range.
