Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of game controller charging bases, specifically a multi-functional charging, storage, and lighting base compatible with both new and old game controllers. Background Technology

[0002] With the iterative upgrades of game consoles, Nintendo has successively launched the SW1 (original Nintendo Switch) and SW2 (OLED version of Nintendo Switch) consoles. The accompanying game controllers differ significantly in their charging interface structure and size. Currently, most charging devices on the market use a single interface standard design, requiring users to purchase separate charging docks for the SW1 and SW2, resulting in device redundancy and increased usage costs. Furthermore, traditional charging docks are functionally limited, lacking extended features such as game cartridge storage and interactive lighting, failing to meet modern users' demands for integrated device functionality.

[0003] While multi-interface charging devices exist in the prior art, they still suffer from the following technical drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Insufficient compatibility: The design does not take into account the size difference between the SW1 and SW2 controllers, resulting in physical interference when multiple controllers are charged at the same time;

[0005] 2. Fragmented functional modules: The charging module and storage module are designed separately, which takes up space and is cumbersome to operate;

[0006] 3. Lack of human-computer interaction: The charging status visualization system (such as a separate charging indicator light) and ambient lighting system are not integrated;

[0007] 4. Fixed structure: The base and slot adopt an integrated design, which cannot be flexibly disassembled and reassembled according to the usage scenario, affecting portability and storage efficiency.

[0008] Therefore, based on this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a multi-functional charging, storage, and lighting base that is compatible with both new and old game controllers. Utility Model Content
