[0002] With the continuous improvement of smartphone performance and the booming development of the mobile game market, more and more users are keen on playing games on their mobile phones. However, when using mobile phones to play games, the touch screen operation method itself has certain limitations, such as insufficient operation precision, fatigue after long-term operation, and fingers obstructing the screen view, which often leads to an unsatisfactory gaming experience for players. In order to solve these problems, game controllers have emerged as an auxiliary device. Game controllers that clip onto the phone can combine the phone and the controller, allowing players to operate the game like using a traditional game console controller, greatly improving the feel and accuracy of game operation.

[0003] Currently, game controllers typically use the elastic force of springs to hold mobile phones. However, the elastic force of springs is difficult to control precisely. Excessive elastic force can lead to excessive clamping force, causing inconvenience and potential damage to the mobile device. Insufficient elastic force can result in unstable clamping, causing the mobile device to loosen and wobble during use, affecting the accuracy of operation.

[0004] In response to the technical problem of difficulty in controlling the elastic force when directly using spring clamps, this application proposes a game controller. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the difficulty in controlling the elastic force when directly using springs for clamping. This invention proposes a game controller where a movable telescopic component moves a second locking component, causing the locking teeth to engage with the locking groove. Compared to existing clamping methods that utilize the elastic force of springs, the locking structure of this application maintains a consistent clamping force when clamping moving ends of different sizes. This avoids the problems of excessive elastic force leading to inconvenient operation, and insufficient elastic force causing instability, thus facilitating user operation and improving the user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a game controller, including a controller body, with a second clamping part and a supporting part fixedly connected to the top of the controller body respectively. A receiving cavity is formed in the inner wall of the controller body, and an opening is formed at the rear end of the controller body. The receiving cavity communicates with the opening. A telescopic member is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity. First locking members are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The first locking members are connected to the telescopic members via a locking assembly. Guide grooves are formed in the inner walls of the first locking members. A control assembly is provided in the inner walls of the guide grooves. An extension member is provided at the rear end of the telescopic member. The extension member is connected to the telescopic member and the clamping part respectively via a connecting assembly. A first clamping part is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping member.

[0007] Furthermore, the engaging assembly includes a locking tooth fixedly connected to the opposite end of the first locking member, and second locking members are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the bottom end of the telescopic member. The second locking member has multiple locking grooves at one opposite end, and the locking tooth engages with the locking grooves. A first return spring is fixedly connected to one opposite end of the first locking member.

[0008] Furthermore, the control component includes an adjusting pressure plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and guide blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the bottom end of the adjusting pressure plate, the guide blocks being located on the inner wall of the guide groove.

[0009] Furthermore, an adjusting block is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom end of the adjusting pressure plate, and an adjusting hole is opened at the bottom end of the support part, with the adjusting block located on the inner wall of the adjusting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a second reset spring is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the front end of the adjusting pressure plate, and the front end of the second reset spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a slide rail fixedly connected to the rear end of the telescopic member and the rear end of the elongating member, and a slide groove fixedly connected to the front end of the elongating member and the front end of the clamping member, with the slide rail and the slide groove fitting together.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the slide rails has an elastic locking block fixedly connected to its top, and each of the slide grooves has a locking groove at its top, with the elastic locking block engaging with the locking groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a pre-tightening elastic element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the pre-tightening elastic element is connected to the telescopic element.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the second locking member is moved by the movable telescopic member, so that the locking teeth and the locking groove are engaged. Compared with the existing clamping method that uses the elastic force of the spring, the locking structure of this application maintains a consistent clamping force when clamping moving ends of different sizes. This avoids the problems of excessive elastic force causing excessive clamping force and inconvenience in operation, as well as insufficient elastic force causing instability. This makes it easier for users to operate and improves the user experience.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a game controller, including a controller body 100. A second clamping part 140 and a support part 130 are fixedly connected to the top of the controller body 100. A receiving cavity 110 is formed in the inner wall of the controller body 100, and an opening 120 is formed at the rear end of the controller body 100. The receiving cavity 110 communicates with the opening 120. A telescopic member 210 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 110. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner walls of the accommodating cavity 110 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of a first locking member 310. Locking teeth 311 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of each first locking member 310. The bottom of the telescopic member 210 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of a second locking member 320. Multiple locking grooves 321 are provided at the opposite ends of the second locking members 320, and the locking teeth 311 engage with the locking grooves 321. A first return spring 520 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each first locking member 310. Guide grooves 312 are provided on the inner walls of each first locking member 310. (Refer to...) Figure 6 and Figure 7An adjusting pressure plate 510 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 110. Guide inclined blocks 511 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the bottom end of the adjusting pressure plate 510. The guide inclined blocks 511 are located on the inner wall of the guide inclined groove 312. An adjusting block 512 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom end of the adjusting pressure plate 510. An adjusting hole 131 is opened at the bottom end of the support part 130. The adjusting block 512 is located on the inner wall of the adjusting hole 131. A second reset spring 530 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the front end of the adjusting pressure plate 510. The front end of the second reset spring 530 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 110. A pre-tightening elastic element 400 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 110. The other end of the pre-tightening elastic element 400 is connected to the telescopic element 210.

[0032] Specifically, the side of the locking teeth 311 facing the opening 120 is all inclined, and the side of the locking teeth 311 facing away from the opening 120 is all vertical. The locking groove 321 on the second locking member 320 is in the opposite direction to the locking teeth 311. This allows the locking groove 321 to directly squeeze the locking teeth 311 during the insertion process, while when the telescopic member 210 is pulled out, it is stuck by the locking teeth 311.

[0033] Reference Figures 8-10 The telescopic component 210 has an extension component 230 at its rear end. Both the rear end of the telescopic component 210 and the rear end of the extension component 230 are fixedly connected to slide rails 211. The front end of the extension component 230 and the front end of the clamping component 220 are both fixedly connected to slide grooves 221. (Refer to...) Figure 11 The slide rail 211 and the slide groove 221 are both fitted together. The top of the slide rail 211 is fixedly connected with an elastic block. The top of the inner wall of the slide groove 221 is provided with a slot 222. The elastic block engages with the slot 222. The top of the clamping member 220 is fixedly connected with a first clamping part 223.

[0034] Specifically, when the moving end is too long and the first clamping part 223 and the second clamping part 140 cannot be fixed, the clamping member 220 can be forcefully removed from the telescopic member 210, and then the slide groove 221 on the extension member 230 can be aligned with the slide rail 211 on the telescopic member 210, so that the slide rail 211 slides into the slide groove 221. At the same time, the elastic clip on the slide rail 211 will be engaged in the slot 222 in the slide groove 221, so that the extension member 230 is connected to the telescopic member 210. Then, the extension member 230 is connected to the clamping member 220 in the same way, thereby increasing the clamping distance between the first clamping part 223 and the second clamping part 140.

[0035] Working principle: In use, mobile devices such as mobile phones can be placed on the support part 130, with one side of the phone close to the second clamping part 140. Then, by pushing the first clamping part 223, the first clamping part 223 drives the telescopic part 210 to move into the receiving cavity 110 through the clamping member 220. When the telescopic part 210 moves into the receiving cavity 110, it stretches the pre-tightened elastic member 400. The locking groove 321 on the second locking member 320 at the bottom of the telescopic part 210 will squeeze the locking teeth 311 on both sides inward. The locking teeth 311 compress the first return spring 520 in the middle through the first locking member 310. When the locking groove 321 moves to the next parallel position of the locking teeth 311, the first return spring 520 will rebound and the locking teeth 311 will enter the locking groove 321. In step 1, the telescopic member 210 cannot be pulled out, and the first clamping part 223 is pressed against the other end of the mobile phone, fixing the mobile phone on the support part 130. When it is necessary to remove the mobile phone, by moving the adjusting block 512 at the bottom of the support part 130, the adjusting block 512 drives the adjusting pressure plate 510 to move into the accommodating cavity 110. The adjusting pressure plate 510 will compress the second reset spring 530, and at the same time drive the guide inclined blocks 511 on both sides of the bottom end to move forward, so that they move the first locking members 310 on both sides to the middle through the guide inclined groove 312, so that the locking teeth 311 on both sides disengage from the locking groove 321 on the telescopic member 210. The pre-tightening elastic member 400 then pops the telescopic member 210 out of the accommodating cavity 110, so that the first clamping part 223 releases the mobile phone.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
