Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device charging technology, specifically to a staggered charging structure for the Switch 1 and Switch 2. Background Technology
[0002] As gaming devices evolve and upgrade, users may simultaneously own both first-generation and second-generation Joy-Con controllers with different charging interface designs. Existing charging devices typically only support charging a single controller model, for example:
[0003] 1. Single-interface charging base: It is only equipped with a dedicated charging interface for the first or second generation, which is not compatible with the two generations of controllers. This forces users to purchase multiple charging devices, increasing the cost of use and space occupation.
[0004] 2. Parallel charging design flaw: Some charging products attempting compatibility do not consider the physical size differences (such as contact point position and bottom contour) and circuit conflict risks between the two generations of controllers. Inserting two generations of controllers simultaneously may result in:
[0005] Physical interference: Poor contact caused by mismatch in handle thickness or contact spacing;
[0006] Short circuit: Abnormal charging current distribution or signal interference can affect charging efficiency or even damage the equipment.
[0007] In addition, existing technologies lack intelligent identification and anti-collision mechanisms, and cannot dynamically adjust charging parameters or cut off power supply to unused interfaces, posing safety hazards.
[0008] Therefore, based on this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a staggered charging structure for the Switch 1 and Switch 2. Utility Model Content
[0009] The technical problems to be solved by this invention are poor compatibility, charging conflicts, and lack of intelligent control.
[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a staggered charging structure for Switch 1 and Switch 2, including a charging base, on which a first charging interface and a second charging interface are provided, and the first charging interface and the second charging interface are staggered vertically.
[0011] The first charging port is located in the upper area of the charging base and is used to adapt to the charging contacts of the first generation controller;
[0012] An anti-interference structure is provided inside the charging base between the first charging interface and the second charging interface to prevent circuit conflicts when two handles are inserted at the same time.
[0013] As a further aspect of this utility model: the vertical distance between the first charging interface and the second charging interface is 5-15mm, and the horizontal distance is 10-20mm.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the anti-interference structure includes a physical barrier and an electronic control module, which automatically cuts off the power supply circuit of the second-generation interface when the insertion of the first-generation handle is detected.
[0015] As a further aspect of this utility model: the charging base is equipped with an intelligent identification chip, which can automatically identify the model of the inserted handle and match the corresponding charging parameters.
[0016] As a further aspect of this utility model: the first charging interface adopts an elastic contact structure, which can adapt to the arc-shaped bottom contour of the first-generation handle.
[0017] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the second charging interface adopts a magnetic connection structure, forming a magnetic positioning with the charging module of the second-generation handle.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. Strong compatibility
[0020] The dual charging interface design with staggered top and bottom (the first charging interface is adapted to the first generation controller, and the second charging interface is adapted to the second generation controller) allows a single charging base to support charging of two generations of controllers at the same time, reducing the cost for users to purchase multiple charging devices.
[0021] 2. Prevents circuit interference, ensuring safety and reliability.
[0022] Employing an intelligent power distribution system (physical isolation + dynamic current regulation), it automatically switches to independent dual-power supply mode when two generation controllers are connected simultaneously. The electronic control module monitors the charging status in real time and intelligently allocates the current required by the first / second generation controllers, supporting simultaneous fast charging of both generations while effectively avoiding overload risks and improving charging efficiency. (Compatible with simultaneous charging of first / second generation controllers)
[0023] It uses an intelligent identification chip to automatically match the charging parameters (such as voltage and current) of different handles, preventing device damage caused by incompatible charging protocols.
[0024] 3. Optimized structure, stable charging
[0025] The flexible contact design (first-generation interface) conforms to the curved bottom of the first-generation handle, ensuring stable contact;
[0026] The magnetic connection (second-generation interface) enhances charging positioning accuracy and avoids wear and tear during plugging and unplugging.
[0027] 4. High space utilization, portable and practical
[0028] By precisely calculating the interface spacing (5-15mm vertically, 10-20mm horizontally), a dual-interface layout is achieved within a limited space, making the charging base structure compact, easy to carry and store.
[0029] 5. Intelligent management enhances user experience.
[0030] It supports automatic recognition of the controller model, eliminating the need to manually switch charging modes and making operation more convenient;
[0031] It can be expanded to support fast charging protocols, improve charging efficiency, and meet the needs of different users. Attached Figure Description

[0039] 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.
[0040] Please see Figure 1-4 A staggered charging structure for the Switch 1 and Switch 2 includes a charging base 1 with a rectangular shell design. The charging base 1 contains an intelligent identification chip that automatically identifies the model of the inserted controller and matches the corresponding charging parameters. The charging base 1 has a first charging interface 2 and a second charging interface 3, which are staggered vertically. The vertical distance between the first charging interface 2 and the second charging interface 3 is 5-15mm, and the horizontal distance is 10-20mm, to avoid physical interference when both controllers are inserted simultaneously. The first charging interface 2 is located in the upper part of the charging base 1 and is used to adapt to the charging contacts of the first-generation controller. The first charging interface 2 uses a flexible contact structure to adapt to the curved bottom contour of the first-generation controller, ensuring contact stability. The second charging interface 3 uses a magnetic connection structure with a built-in magnet array, magnetically aligned with the charging module of the second-generation controller, forming a magnetic positioning for quick positioning and secure attachment.
[0041] Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can charge 8 controllers at the same time (4 first-generation controllers and 4 second-generation controllers).
[0042] Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can only charge 4 controllers at a time because the upper and lower charging slots are vertically aligned. This design is necessary because it connects to the original Switch dock for power, but the original Switch dock's output current is insufficient to charge 8 controllers. Therefore, it can only charge 4 at a time. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The reason it can charge 8 controllers is because it may be equipped with a separate power adapter or other methods.
[0043] The charging base has a built-in intelligent identification chip, and its working process is as follows:
[0044] 1. Handle Insertion Detection: The model of the inserted handle is determined by the contact signal or magnetic induction of the interface;
[0045] 2. Charging parameter matching: Automatically adjust the output voltage / current based on the recognition result (e.g., 5V / 1A for the first generation controller, 5V / 1.5A for the second generation controller);
[0046] 3. Conflict handling: If two generations of controllers are detected to be inserted at the same time, power will be supplied to the first generation controller first, and the circuit of the second generation interface will be turned off.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model:
[0048] When users use it:
[0049] Individual charging: Insert any generation of controller, and the dock will automatically recognize and match the charging mode;
[0050] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
