Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of game controller technology, specifically a joystick cap structure for a force-adjustable joystick. Background Technology

[0002] A game controller is a common component of video game consoles. By manipulating its buttons, joysticks, and other components, users can control virtual characters in the game. It mainly consists of two joysticks, a D-pad, function buttons, and shoulder buttons.

[0003] In existing gamepads, pressing a button or moving a joystick closes the circuit and sends a signal to the gaming device. The gaming device then performs the corresponding operation based on the received signal. However, when using the joystick, because the joystick cap is clipped onto the joystick cup, pressing down on the joystick causes the applied force to be transmitted along the pressure rod to the connection point with the joystick cup. Since the connection between the pressure rod and the joystick cup is not perfectly perpendicular or rigidly fixed, this downward force generates a component force at the connection point between the joystick cup and the joystick cap, which tends to be upward. This can cause the joystick cap to detach from the joystick cup. The ring is designed to prevent this reaction force from causing it to detach, resulting in decreased gamepad operation accuracy or abnormal signal transmission. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a rocker cap structure for a force-adjusting rocker.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rocker cap structure for a force-adjustable rocker, comprising a rocker cup, a rocker cap disposed on the inner side of the rocker cup, a buckle disposed at the bottom of the rocker cap, the buckle engaging with the inner wall of the rocker cup, a thermoplastic nut disposed on the inner wall of the rocker cap, a headless adjusting screw threaded onto the inner wall of the thermoplastic nut, a damping adjusting rod disposed at the bottom of the headless adjusting screw, the bottom of the damping adjusting rod extending into the inner cavity of the buckle and connected to a rocker seat, a groove formed on the outer side of the damping adjusting rod, a coil spring disposed within the groove, and the outer side of the coil spring being movably connected to the inner wall of the rocker cup.

[0006] Preferably, the hot-pressed nut has knurling on its outer side, and the knurling fits tightly against the inner wall of the rocker cap.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the headless adjusting screw is movably connected to the top of the damping adjusting rod, and slots are provided on both the top and bottom of the headless adjusting screw.

[0008] Preferably, there are two buckles, which are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the rocker cap.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber sleeve is provided on the outside of the rocker cap.

[0010] Preferably, a metal decorative ring is provided on the outer side of the rocker cap, and the bottom of the metal decorative ring is movably connected to the outer side of the rocker cup.

[0011] Preferably, the opening of the hot-pressed nut is smaller than the diameter of the headless adjusting screw;

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model is equipped with a coil spring and a rocker cup. Because the rocker cap is pushed upward by the damping adjustment lever in the middle of the rocker, and the rocker cap is fastened to the rocker cup by a buckle, the rocker cup will be subjected to an upward pulling force. Since the coil spring is fastened to the main rod of the damping adjustment lever, when the rocker cup is subjected to the upward pulling force, the retaining spring will press against the rocker cup, thereby preventing the rocker cup from falling out and avoiding affecting the normal use of the handle.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this is the first embodiment of the utility model, providing a rocker cap structure for a force-adjustable rocker, including a rocker cup 1, a rocker cap 2 disposed on the inner side of the rocker cup 1, a buckle 3 disposed at the bottom of the rocker cap 2, the buckle 3 engaging with the inner wall of the rocker cup 1, a hot-press nut 6 disposed on the inner wall of the rocker cap 2, a headless adjusting screw 7 threadedly fitted onto the inner wall of the hot-press nut 6, a damping adjusting rod 9 disposed at the bottom of the headless adjusting screw 7, the bottom of the damping adjusting rod 9 extending into the inner cavity of the buckle 3 and connected to a rocker seat 10, a groove being formed on the outer side of the damping adjusting rod 9, a coil spring 8 disposed in the groove, and the outer side of the coil spring 8 being movably connected to the inner wall of the rocker cup 1;

[0023] When the joystick is in use, the joystick cap 2 is pushed upward by the damping adjustment lever 9 in the middle of the joystick. The joystick cap 2 is locked onto the joystick cup 1 by the buckle 3. Therefore, the joystick cup 1 is subjected to an upward pulling force. In order to prevent the joystick cup from falling off the main rod during a swing, the coil spring 8 presses down on the joystick cup 1, thereby preventing the joystick cup from falling off and preventing the joystick cup 1 and the joystick cap 2 from falling off due to the reaction force, so as to avoid affecting the normal use of the handle.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1. The distinguishing technical feature is that the hot-pressed nut 6 is provided with knurling on the outside, and the knurling is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the rocker cap 2.

[0026] When installing the hot-pressed nut 6, it is heated and then pressed into the plastic part of the joystick cap 2. The hot-pressed nut 6 and the joystick cap 2 form a tight fit. Compared with directly machining threads on the plastic of the joystick cap 2, the hot-pressed nut 6 can withstand greater tensile and torsional forces, better resist external forces, prevent damage to the connection parts, and extend the service life of the joystick.

[0027] Among them, the bottom of the headless adjusting screw 7 is movably connected to the top of the damping adjusting rod 9, and slots are opened at both the top and bottom of the headless adjusting screw 7;

[0028] By screwing the headless adjusting screw 7 into the hot-press nut 6, the distance between the rocker arm cap 2 and the damping adjusting lever 9 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the length between the headless adjusting screw 7 and the hot-press nut 6 and the damping adjusting lever 9, thus achieving different rocker arm operating torques.

[0029] Among them, there are two buckles 3, which are respectively set on both sides of the bottom of the rocker cap 2;

[0030] Two clips 3 tightly connect the joystick cup 1 and the joystick cap 2 together, preventing accidental separation during use. This ensures the joystick cap remains in a stable position on the joystick cup, guaranteeing that the force is accurately transmitted from the joystick cap 2 to the joystick cup 1 when the operator operates the joystick, thereby controlling the operation. At the same time, it also limits the position and angle of the joystick cap 2 relative to the joystick cup 1, making the joystick operation more precise and consistent, and improving the accuracy and smoothness of operation.

[0031] Among them, the rocker cap 2 is provided with a rubber sleeve 4 on the outside, and the rubber sleeve 4 is made of rubber;

[0032] Because of its soft rubber texture, it provides a comfortable feel when in contact with the skin, increases friction, and makes the joystick more stable for the operator to hold, preventing it from slipping. This allows the operator to more accurately control the direction and force of the joystick's movement, bringing convenience to the operator.

[0033] Among them, a metal decorative ring 5 is provided on the outer side of the rocker cap 2, and the bottom of the metal decorative ring 5 is movably connected to the outer side of the rocker cup 1;

[0034] The joystick cap 2 is prone to friction and collision with the handle shell during use. The metal decorative ring 5 can play a certain protective role, reducing wear and damage caused by frequent operation and extending the service life of the joystick cap 2. At the same time, the unique luster and texture of the outer side of the metal decorative ring 5 can add a sense of refinement and technology to the handle, improve the appearance quality of the handle, make it more attractive, and meet people's aesthetic needs for product appearance design.

[0035] Among them, the opening of the hot-pressed nut 6 is smaller in diameter than the headless adjusting screw 7;

[0036] When the headless adjusting screw 7 is screwed into the hot-pressed nut 6, the opening of the hot-pressed nut 6 is smaller than that of the headless adjusting screw 7, making it difficult to come out after screwing it in, thus making the connection more secure.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
