Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game controllers, specifically to a button structure for a game controller. Background Technology

[0002] A game controller is an operating device for a computer or game console. With the increasing demands of the gaming market and users, there are higher requirements for the lifespan and tactile feel of the buttons on game controllers. Most existing game controllers use silicone with conductive adhesive, mechanical switches, or tactile switches as button switches. These types all achieve button reset through material deformation, and all are susceptible to material fatigue. Furthermore, mechanical switches or tactile switches have difficulty changing the travel distance, resulting in a softer button feel or reduced lifespan. Existing two-stage button modules only allow switching between silicone and mechanical buttons; the problem of shorter lifespan due to silicone buttons remains unchanged, limiting the pressure and travel distance to a fixed value. Switching to mechanical buttons results in stiff buttons with a poor tactile feel, and the pressure and travel distance cannot be adjusted. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a button structure for a game controller.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A game controller button structure includes a force adjustment component, a main body, a button actuation component, a PCB assembly, a push plate, and screws. The force adjustment component includes a lifting member, a magnetic iron plate, an iron plate positioning bracket, and a threaded hole. The lifting member is positioned between the magnetic iron plate and the iron plate positioning bracket, and is rotatably connected to them. The lifting member has a threaded hole. The main body has a screw corresponding to the threaded hole inside the lifting member. The screw and the threaded hole are threadedly connected. The button actuation component includes a plastic handle, a magnet, and conductive adhesive. The plastic handle and the magnet are fixedly connected. The conductive adhesive is located below the magnet and can conduct signals through open circuits on the PCB board. The change in distance between the magnet and the Hall chip transmits signals. The PCB assembly includes a spring, an LED, a Hall chip, a PCB board, and a PCB support. The PCB board is mounted on the PCB support, and the Hall chip is mounted on the PCB board. One end of the spring is connected to the PCB support, and the other end is connected to the main body. The lower part of the PCB support has a first latch, and the push plate has a second latch. The screws are used to fix the push plate, the PCB assembly, the button actuation component, and the main body.

[0006] Preferably, the PCB board is equipped with LED lights. Beneficial effects

[0007] This invention utilizes the attraction between a magnet and an iron sheet to address the fatigue issues caused by spring-loaded materials. The pressing force is adjusted by changing the distance between the magnet and the iron sheet, and the button travel is adjusted by changing the distance between the PCB and the conductive adhesive. Furthermore, a Hall effect chip enables a long-travel, fast-trigger button. This achieves both adjustable pressing force and adjustable travel. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] like Figure 1-8As shown, a game controller button structure includes a force adjustment component 1, a main body 2, a button movement component 3, a PCB component 4, a push plate 5, and screws 6. The force adjustment component 1 includes a lifting member 101, a magnetic iron plate 102, an iron plate positioning bracket 103, and a threaded hole 104. The magnetic iron plate 102 and the iron plate positioning bracket 103 are fixedly connected, and the lifting member 101 is disposed between the magnetic iron plate 102 and the iron plate positioning bracket 103. The lifting member 101 is rotatably connected to the magnetic iron plate 102 and the iron plate positioning bracket 103. The lifting member 101 has a threaded hole 104 inside. The main body 2 is provided with a screw 201 corresponding to the threaded hole 104 inside the lifting member 101. The force adjustment component 1 and the main body 2 can be threadedly connected through the threaded hole 104 inside the lifting member 101 and the screw 201 on the main body 2. The button movable component 3 includes a plastic handle 301, a magnet 302 and conductive adhesive 303. The plastic handle 301 and the magnet 302 are fixedly connected. The conductive adhesive 303 is disposed at the lower part of the magnet 302. The conductive adhesive 303 can conduct open circuits on the PCB board 404 to transmit signals. The change in distance between the magnet 302 and the Hall chip 403 transmits signals. Conductive adhesive 303 can conduct open circuits on PCB board 404; PCB assembly 4 includes spring 401, LED light 402, Hall chip 403, PCB board 404 and PCB bracket 405; PCB board 404 is mounted on PCB bracket 405, and Hall chip 403 is mounted on PCB board 404; one end of spring 401 is connected to PCB bracket 405, and the other end is connected to body 2; a first buckle 406 is provided at the lower part of PCB bracket 405, and a second buckle 501 is provided on push plate 5; the first buckle 406 and the second buckle 501 have different engagement heights; screw 6 is used to fix push plate 5, PCB assembly 4, button moving assembly 3 and body 2; holes are provided on force adjustment assembly 1, body 2 and PCB assembly 4, and the holes on force adjustment assembly 1 and body 2 constitute the moving space of magnet 302; a push rod is provided at the lower part of body 2, and the holes on PCB assembly 4 are used to fix the push rod at the lower part of body 2, thereby fixing body 2.

[0022] Preferably, the PCB board 404 is provided with an LED light 402, and the LED light can be emitted outward through the transparent plastic handle 301 on the button active component 3, so as to make the button light up.

[0023] In use, rotating the lifting component 101 causes the force adjustment component 1 to move up and down, changing the distance between the magnetic iron plate 102 and the magnet 302 on the button moving component 3, thus changing the button force. The magnet 302, in conjunction with the Hall chip 403 on the PCB board 404, enables the button to have the function of adjusting the trigger travel. Rotating the push plate 5 drives the second latch 501 on the push plate 5. Utilizing the difference in the latching height between the first latch 406 and the second latch 501, the first latch 406 at the bottom of the PCB bracket 405 is pushed, thereby pushing the PCB bracket 405, realizing the reset of the spring 401 and its up and down movement, changing the distance between the PCB component 4 and the button moving component 3, thus realizing the adjustment of the button travel.

[0024] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
