Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, and in particular to game controllers. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, game controllers are divided into wired game controllers and wireless game controllers. The biggest advantage of wireless game controllers is that they are easy to install and remove from terminal devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.). The biggest advantage of wired game controllers is their stability, and they are less prone to problems such as connection failure and unstable signal. With the development of technology, wired game controllers no longer need external data cables. Instead, an electrical plug is set on the main body of the wired game controller. This electrical plug works with the electrical socket on the terminal device to achieve data transmission.

[0003] However, the electrical plug protrudes from the grip of the game controller. When the user needs to connect to the terminal device wirelessly, the electrical plug will obstruct the clamping of the terminal device, so that the user cannot switch the data transmission and reception mode of the game controller. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a game controller that can switch data transmission methods.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a game controller, including a grip and an electrical plug movably disposed on the grip. The grip contains a main control board assembly, which has a wireless transmission module. The electrical plug has a retracted state and an extended state. When the electrical plug is in the retracted state, it does not protrude from the clamping surface of the grip. When the electrical plug is in the extended state, it protrudes from the clamping surface of the grip and is electrically connected to the main control board assembly.

[0006] In one embodiment, the device further includes a telescopic arm, and the number of grips is two, the two grips being connected via the telescopic arm, with at least one grip having the electrical plug.

[0007] In one embodiment, both grips have the electrical plug.

[0008] In one embodiment, the grip portion is provided with a storage slot for receiving the electrical plug.

[0009] In one embodiment, the electrical plug is rotatably connected to the grip portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, the storage groove is inclined relative to the clamping surface of the gripping portion.

[0011] In one embodiment, the electrical plug is slidably connected to the grip portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the grip portion is further provided with an operation slot that communicates with the storage slot.

[0013] In one embodiment, the electrical plug is provided with an operating part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the gripping surface of the gripping part is provided with a contact pad for contacting the terminal device, and the contact pad has an avoidance groove corresponding to the storage groove.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This game controller has a novel structure, which can realize both wired and wireless transmission, making the data transmission mode switchable. Users can choose the data transmission mode of the game controller according to their own usage needs, which greatly enhances the user experience. More importantly, the electrical plug of the game controller can be stored, so that the presence of the electrical plug will not affect the clamping effect of the game controller on the terminal device.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2One embodiment of this utility model is a game controller, including a grip portion 1 and an electrical plug 2 movably disposed on the grip portion 1. The grip portion 1 houses a main control board assembly, which is a PCB control board, existing technology and will not be described further here. The grip portion 1 also has operation buttons 31 and / or a joystick 32 electrically connected to the main control board assembly. The main control board assembly has a wireless transmission module, which can be a Bluetooth transmission module, etc. In other words, the game controller can establish a wireless connection with a terminal device through the wireless transmission module and perform... Wireless data transmission; the electrical plug 2 has a retracted state and an extended state. When the electrical plug 2 is in the retracted state, it does not protrude from the clamping surface of the grip 1. At this time, the game controller can wirelessly transmit data with the terminal device. When the electrical plug 2 is in the extended state, it protrudes from the clamping surface of the grip 1 and is electrically connected to the main control board assembly. At this time, the electrical plug 2 is inserted into the electrical socket of the terminal device, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the game controller and the terminal device, and thus realizing data transmission.

[0033] The electrical plug 2 can be a Type-C plug, a USB plug, etc.

[0034] Optionally, the game controller further includes a telescopic arm 4, and the number of grip parts 1 is two, which are connected by the telescopic arm 4. At least one of the grip parts 1 has the electrical plug 2. In this embodiment, only one grip part 1 has the electrical plug 2. The presence of the telescopic arm 4 can increase or decrease the distance between the two grip parts 1, thereby allowing the game controller to be used with various terminal devices of different sizes. Moreover, the presence of the telescopic arm 4 provides the user with sufficient operating space to connect the electrical plug 2 to the terminal device, while ensuring the gripping effect of the game controller on the terminal device.

[0035] In other embodiments, both gripping parts 1 may have the electrical plug 2. In this case, the user can choose to connect the corresponding electrical plug 2 to the terminal device according to their own usage habits, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0036] To prevent the retracted electrical plug 2 from protruding from the outer surface of the grip 1 and affecting the user's use, and to ensure that the retracted electrical plug 2 is effectively protected, preferably, the grip 1 is provided with a storage groove 11 for storing the electrical plug 2.

[0037] It is easy to understand that the sides of the two gripping parts 1 that are close to each other are the clamping surfaces of the gripping parts 1. To further improve the clamping and fixing effect of the game controller on the terminal device, as a preferred embodiment, the clamping surface of the gripping part 1 is provided with a contact pad 5 for contacting the terminal device. The contact pad 5 has a relief groove 51 corresponding to the storage groove 11, and the end of the electrical plug 2 can enter and exit the storage groove 11 through the relief groove 51. It should be understood that when the contact pad 5 is present, the clamping surface of the gripping part 1 can be considered as the contact surface 52 of the contact pad 5 for contacting the terminal device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the electrical plug 2 is rotatably connected to the gripping part 1. Optionally, the storage groove 11 is inclined relative to the clamping surface of the gripping part 1.

[0039] In other embodiments, the electrical plug 2 can also be slidably connected to the grip 1. In this case, the user can switch the electrical plug 2 between a retracted state and an extended state by sliding the electrical plug 2. To reduce the diameter of the retractable slot 11, the grip 1 may optionally also have an operating groove communicating with the retractable slot 11. During the process of switching the electrical plug 2 from the retracted state to the extended state, the user's fingers can contact and slide the electrical plug 2 through the operating groove. Of course, it is also possible for the electrical plug 2 to have an operating part, allowing the user to slide the electrical plug 2 through the operating part. Specifically, the operating part can be a protrusion structure or a groove structure, etc.

[0040] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
