This steering wheel-type game console controller includes a steering wheel housing with an annular outer ring for user gripping. A placement groove is provided in the center of the annular outer ring, and the game console controller included with the game console is placed in the placement groove. The technical solution of this utility model can solve the problem in the prior art where the user's grip on the game console controller included with the Nintendo Switch is unsatisfactory, thus reducing the quality of the user experience.

[0003] As game products are constantly being updated and new game controllers are constantly being introduced, the aforementioned game controllers have the problem of being only compatible with one size of game controller and having poor adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem that existing steering wheel-type game controllers can only adapt to one size of game controller and have poor adaptability, this invention provides a game controller that can adapt to different sizes of game controllers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is a game controller that can adapt to game controllers of different specifications, including a game controller body, the game controller body being provided with a first mounting structure for placing a first type of game controller, and the game controller body being provided with a second mounting structure for placing a second type of game controller.

[0006] Preferably, the first mounting structure is a first controller receiving cavity, the shape and size of which are adapted to the first type of game console controller.

[0007] Preferably, the second mounting structure is an inner nest with a second controller receiving cavity, the inner nest being detachably embedded in the first controller receiving cavity, and the shape and size of the second controller receiving cavity being adapted to the second type of game console controller.

[0008] Preferably, the main body of the handle is provided with a switching control key for linkage with the control key on the game console controller, and the switching control key can be linked with the control key of the first type of game console controller; the second mounting structure is provided with a linkage button for linkage with the switching control key, and the linkage button is used to link with the control key of the second type of game console controller.

[0009] Preferably, the handle body is provided with a button hole communicating with the first controller accommodating cavity. The switching control key includes a pressing part and a pressing post fixedly connected to the pressing part. The pressing post is inserted into the button hole. The pressing post can be linked to the control key of the first type of game console controller or linked to the linkage button of the second mounting structure.

[0010] Preferably, the handle body is provided with a first grasping notch for easy picking up and putting down the first type of game controller.

[0011] Preferably, the second mounting structure is provided with a second grabbing notch for easy picking up and putting down the second type of game controller.

[0012] Preferably, the inner nest is provided with an outwardly protruding flange, and when the inner nest is embedded in the first controller receiving cavity, the flange abuts against the handle body.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the handle body facing the first controller receiving cavity has a recessed groove; the outer wall of the inner nested part has a protruding part; the protruding part is engaged in the groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the game controller provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The first mounting structure is used to place the first type of game console controller, and the second mounting structure is used to place the second type of game console controller. A game controller is compatible with at least two types of game console controllers, providing a game controller that can adapt to different types of game console controllers, improving the practicality of the game controller and reducing the user's usage cost;

[0016] 2. The direct second mounting structure is set as the first controller housing cavity, which will not increase the size of the game controller too much. At the same time, the nested and detachable structure means that if there is a third or fourth game console controller, only the nested structure of different specifications needs to be matched, which further increases the applicability of the game controller.

[0017] 3. By switching control keys and setting up linkage keys, it is easy and convenient to control the game console controller with a gamepad.

[0018] When a larger game console controller needs to be placed, the inner nest is removed from the first controller receiving cavity, and the larger game console controller is placed in the first controller receiving cavity. The corresponding function buttons on the game console controller can be controlled by switching control keys.

[0019] When a smaller game console controller needs to be placed, the inner one is embedded in the first controller cavity, and the smaller game console controller is placed in the second controller cavity. By switching the control keys to drive the linkage keys, the corresponding function keys on the game console controller can be controlled. Therefore, it can adapt to game console controllers of different sizes, making it more adaptable. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention is a game controller that can be adapted to game console controllers of different specifications. It includes a controller body 1, which is mainly used by the user to hold and place the game console controller. The controller body 1 includes a front shell 11 and a rear shell 12.

[0030] The main body of the handle 1 is provided with a first mounting structure 13 for placing a first type of game console controller and a second mounting structure 14 for placing a second type of game console controller.

[0031] The following is an explanation:

[0032] 1. The first mounting structure 13 can be a clamping structure that holds the game controller on the left and right sides. However, in order to ensure that the game controller can be stably and reliably mounted on the handle body 1, the first mounting structure 13 is preferably a first controller receiving cavity 13 whose shape and size are adapted to the first type of game controller.

[0033] 2. The second mounting structure 14 can be a clamping structure that holds the game controller on the left and right sides. However, in order to ensure that the game controller can be stably and reliably mounted on the handle body 1, the second mounting structure 14 is preferably a second controller receiving cavity 141 whose shape and size are adapted to the second type of game controller.

[0034] 3. The first mounting structure 13 and the second mounting structure 14 can be set in different parts of the main body 1 of the controller. Considering that the volume of the main body 1 of the controller should not be increased as much as possible, and that it is convenient for users to hold and control the game controller, the second mounting structure 14 is preferably set as an inner nest 14. The inner nest 14 is detachably embedded in the first controller receiving cavity 13. Users can select the corresponding game controller and the corresponding controller receiving cavity as needed.

[0035] Specifically, the main body 1 of the handle is provided with a conversion control button 15 for linkage with the control buttons on the game console controller. The conversion control button 15 includes a pressing part 151 and a pressing post 152 fixedly connected to the pressing part 151. The pressing part 151 of the conversion control button 15 may be located at the front end of the grip part on the main body 1 for the user to hold (when the user's palm and thumb hold the grip part, the index finger is naturally extended, and the pressing part 151 is located near the front end of the index finger). The main body 1 of the handle is provided with a button hole 16 communicating with the first controller receiving cavity 13. The pressing post 152 is inserted into the button hole 16. When the first game console controller is installed in the first controller receiving cavity 13, the pressing post 152 of the conversion control button 15 is linked with the control buttons of the first game console controller.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when a larger first game console controller needs to be placed, the first game console controller can be directly placed in the first controller receiving cavity 13. By pressing the conversion control key 15, the corresponding control key on the game console controller can be controlled. By operating the conversion control key 15, the control key of the first game console controller can be controlled.

[0037] Specifically, the second mounting structure 14 is provided with a linkage button 143 that is linked to the conversion control key 15. The linkage button 143 is used to link with the control key of the second game console controller and the linkage button 143 of the second mounting structure 14.

[0038] In this specific embodiment, the inner nest 144 is provided with a linkage groove 142 communicating with the second controller receiving cavity 141. The linkage button 143 is an elastic arm with one side connected to the side wall of the linkage groove 142, and the other side of the elastic arm has a gap with the linkage groove 142. When the inner nest 14 is embedded in the first controller receiving cavity 13, pressing the pressing part 151 drives the pressing column 152, which in turn drives the linkage button 143. The free end of the elastic arm of the linkage button 143 presses the control button on the game controller, thereby controlling the game machine. When the control button is released, the elastic arm automatically resets under the action of elasticity, releasing the control button on the game controller.

[0039] When a smaller second game controller needs to be placed, the inner nest 14 is embedded in the first controller receiving cavity 13, and the second game controller is placed in the second controller receiving cavity 141. By pressing the conversion control key 15, the linkage button 143 can be activated, thereby controlling the corresponding control key on the game controller.

[0040] Specifically, the handle body 1 is provided with a first grasping notch 17 for easy access to the first type of game controller, and the second mounting structure 14 is provided with a second grasping notch 144 for easy access to the second type of game controller. When the second mounting structure 14 is an inner nest 14, and the inner nest 14 is embedded in the first controller receiving cavity 13, the positions of the first grasping notch 17 and the second grasping notch 144 are corresponding and connected, and the bottom of the notch of the second grasping notch 144 on the inner nest 14 is higher than the bottom of the notch of the first grasping notch 17, so that the inner nest 14 can be easily removed from the first controller receiving cavity 13.

[0041] When disassembling the inner nest 14, place your finger in the first gripping notch 17 to easily detach the inner nest 14 or the game controller from the controller body 1. When it is necessary to remove the game controller from the inner nest 14, place your finger in the second gripping notch 144 to easily detach the game controller from the inner nest 14.

[0042] To facilitate the disassembly of the inner nest 14, the inner nest 14 is provided with an outwardly protruding flange 145. When the inner nest 14 is embedded in the first controller receiving cavity 13, the flange 145 abuts against the handle body 1. The side of the flange 145 that abuts against the handle body 1 preferably has a certain curvature, so as to facilitate the removal of the inner nest 14 from the first controller receiving cavity 13.

[0043] Specifically, a recessed slot 18 is provided on the inner wall of the handle body 1 facing the first controller receiving cavity 13; a protruding protrusion 146 is provided on the outer wall of the inner nest 14; the protrusion 146 is engaged in the slot 18. It should be noted that the protrusion 146 and the slot 18 are designed to facilitate the removal of the inner nest 14 from the handle body 1. When the two are engaged, the inner nest 14 and the handle body 1 form a stable fit.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
