Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gaming peripherals technology, specifically to a game controller accessory. Background Technology
[0002] Most game consoles on the market are modular, meaning the console and game controller are detachably connected. Users connect the console to a TV or monitor and then use the game controller to control the game.
[0003] Normally, the mounting end of the gamepad is used to connect to the console. When the gamepad is detached from the console, a gamepad accessory is attached to the mounting end.
[0004] Conventional gamepad accessories have a mounting slot on the user-facing side, meaning the gamepad accessory has a mounting slot on its second-direction side. The mounting slot is used to insert the gamepad, allowing the gamepad accessory to be detachably connected to the gamepad.
[0005] Game controllers typically use a snap-fit mechanism to fit into a mounting slot. The snap-fit provides friction against the edges of the controller to secure it within the slot. The magnitude of this friction is determined by the snap-fit and the edges of the controller. After repeated assembly and disassembly, scratches can easily appear on the edges of the controller, affecting the snap-fit's performance and reducing its stability within the mounting slot. This can make the controller more susceptible to slipping out of the slot. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a game controller accessory. This accessory connects a guide portion to one end of a latching portion in a second direction. In the second direction, the guide portion gradually decreases in size in the first direction to facilitate the game controller's assembly into the clamping space formed by the latching portion. Conversely, the latching portion gradually increases in size in the second direction to prevent the game controller from detaching. Furthermore, the elastic latching member possesses a certain degree of elasticity, causing the connection between the guide portion and the latching portion to deform when the game controller is assembled into the mounting slot. This deformation covers a portion of the game controller and increases the contact area between the elastic latching member and the game controller, making it less likely for the game controller to detach from the mounting slot and preventing the elastic latching member from scratching the edges of the game controller.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a handle accessory for a game controller, wherein the game controller has at least one button at one end in a first direction, the handle accessory comprising: a housing having a mounting groove on one side in a second direction for assembling the game controller, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, the housing forming a receiving cavity; a button module disposed at one end of the housing in the first direction, the button module being at least partially housed in the receiving cavity, and in a pressed state, the button module at least partially passing through the side wall of the mounting groove to press the button; and at least one elastic snap-fit member on each opposite side of the mounting groove, the elastic snap-fit member comprising a guide portion and a snap-fit portion, the guide portion being connected to one end of the snap-fit portion in the second direction, wherein in the second direction, the size of the guide portion gradually decreases in the first direction, and the size of the snap-fit portion gradually increases in the first direction.

The snap-fit extension portion is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove, and the snap-fit limiting portion is disposed at the end of the snap-fit extension portion away from the mounting groove. The snap-fit extension portion and the snap-fit limiting portion together form the assembly space. When the elastic snap-fit member is assembled in the assembly space, the second snap-fit limiting portion abuts against the end of the elastic snap-fit member near the second housing.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic snap-fit component further includes a snap-fit extension, which is disposed along the edge of the third body and extends in a direction away from the snap-fit component. The snap-fit extension and the third body together form a snap-fit groove.
[0013] Preferably, the housing includes a first housing and a second housing, which together form the receiving cavity.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment relates to a game controller. The game controller accessory 1000 is used for a game controller, and the game controller has at least one button at one end in a first direction.
[0035] The gamepad accessory 1000 includes a housing 100 and a button module 200. The housing 100 has a mounting groove 111 on one side in a second direction for mounting a gamepad. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The housing 100 is configured to form a receiving cavity 40.
[0036] A button module 200 is disposed at one end of the housing 100 in a first direction, and the button module 200 is at least partially housed in the receiving cavity 40. In the pressed state, the user presses the button module 200, and the button module 200 at least partially passes through the side wall of the mounting groove 111 to press the button on the game controller, thereby controlling the game controller.
[0037] Among them, at least one elastic snap-fit member 300 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the mounting groove 111. The elastic snap-fit member 300 includes a guide part 321 and a snap-fit part 322. The guide part 321 is connected to one end of the snap-fit part 322 in the second direction. In the second direction, the size of the guide part 321 gradually decreases in the first direction, and the size of the snap-fit part 322 gradually increases in the first direction.
[0038] The guide portion 321 connects to one end of the snap-fit portion 322 in the second direction. In the second direction, the guide portion 321 gradually decreases in size in the first direction to facilitate the fitting of the game controller into the clamping space formed by the snap-fit portion 322. In the second direction, the snap-fit portion 322 gradually increases in size in the first direction to prevent the game controller from detaching. Furthermore, the elastic snap-fit member 300 has a certain degree of elasticity, causing the connection between the guide portion 321 and the snap-fit portion 322 to deform when the game controller is fitted into the mounting slot 111, thereby covering a portion of the game controller and increasing the contact area between the elastic snap-fit member 300 and the game controller. This makes it less likely for the game controller to detach from the mounting slot 111 and also prevents the elastic snap-fit member 300 from scratching the edges of the game controller.
[0039] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the mounting slot 111 has at least one elastic latching member 300 on each of its opposite sides in the first direction. When pressed, the button module 200 applies a force in the opposite direction to the game controller, causing the game controller to shift in the opposite direction. This prevents the button module 200 from fully pressing the game controller, resulting in a loss of control and negatively impacting the user experience. Because the elastic latching members 300 are located on opposite sides in the first direction and possess a certain degree of elasticity, they prevent the game controller from shifting after repeated pressing, thus improving the user experience.
[0040] like Figure 1-5As shown, the mounting groove 111 has at least one lateral limiting protrusion 113 on each of the opposite sides in the third direction, the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0041] To facilitate fitting the game controller into the mounting slot 111, the mounting slot 111 is slightly larger than the game controller. The game controller is restrained in the first direction by the elastic snap-fit member 300, thus causing the game controller to wobble only in the third direction. At least one lateral restraining protrusion 113 is provided on each opposite side of the mounting slot 111 in the third direction. When the game controller is fitted into the mounting slot 111, both opposite ends of the game controller abut against the lateral restraining protrusions 113 in the third direction, thereby restraining the game controller in the third direction and preventing it from wobbling.
[0042] In other embodiments, the mounting slot 111 has two elastic latching members 300 on each of its opposite sides in the third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Because the elastic latching members 300 are elastic, when the game controller is subjected to a force in the opposite direction to the first direction by the button module 200, the elastic latching members 300 will also deform to a certain extent. When the button module 200 stops applying force to the game controller, the elastic latching members 300 reset, allowing the game controller to return to its original position, ensuring that the button module 200 presses the game controller correctly each time, thus guaranteeing effective control of the game controller.
[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the elastic snap-fit member 300 includes a third body 310 and a snap-fit portion 320 disposed on one side of the third body 310. The dimension of the third body 310 in the third direction is larger than the dimension of the snap-fit portion 320 in the third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction. The side wall of the mounting groove 111 is provided with a snap-fit clearance hole 117. The side wall of the mounting groove 111 is provided with a first snap-fit limiting portion 116. The first snap-fit limiting portion 116 extends at least partially into the receiving cavity 40. The first snap-fit limiting portion 116 is provided with an assembly space for the third body 310 to be inserted. The snap-fit portion 320 passes through the snap-fit clearance hole 117 to extend into the mounting groove 111. The third body 310 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 111. The snap-fit portion 320 includes a guide portion 321 and a snap-fit portion 322.
[0044] Specifically, when the elastic snap-fit member 300 is assembled with the first snap-fit limiting part 116, the snap-fit part 320 passes through the snap-fit clearance hole 117 and extends into the mounting groove 111, thereby snapping the game controller assembled in the mounting groove 111. The third body 310 abuts against the edge of the snap-fit clearance hole 117 on the side near the snap-fit part 320, thereby preventing the elastic snap-fit member 300 from coming out of the snap-fit clearance hole 117.
[0045] During the assembly of the game controller into the mounting slot 111, the two opposing parts of the game controller in the first direction first abut against the guide portion 321. Since the guide portion 321 gradually decreases in size in the first direction in the second direction to form a guide slope, it facilitates the assembly of the game controller into the clamping space formed by the snap-fit portion 322. Since the snap-fit portion 322 gradually increases in size in the first direction in the second direction to form a snap-fit slope, it is less likely for the game controller to detach when assembled into the clamping space formed by the snap-fit portion 322, improving the stability of the game controller assembly into the controller accessory 1000. Because the elastic snap-fit member 300 is elastic, it can deform. When the game controller is assembled into the clamping space formed by the snap-fit portion 322, the snap-fit portion 322 deforms to cover at least a portion of the game controller near the elastic snap-fit member 300, increasing the friction between the elastic snap-fit member 300 and the game controller, further improving the stability of the game controller assembly into the controller accessory 1000. Simultaneously, because the elastic snap-fit member 300 is elastic, it can deform. When the user disassembles the game controller, the flexible latch 300 facilitates disassembly.
[0046] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the housing 100 includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 together form a receiving cavity 40. A mounting groove 111 is disposed in the first housing 10. The second housing 20 is provided with a second snap-fit limiting part 212 on the side facing the receiving cavity 40. The first snap-fit limiting part 116 includes a snap-fit extension part 1161 and a snap-fit limiting part 1162. The snap-fit extension part 1161 is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 111. The snap-fit limiting part 1162 is disposed at the end of the snap-fit extension part 1161 away from the mounting groove 111. The snap-fit extension part 1161 and the snap-fit limiting part 1162 together form an assembly space. When the elastic snap-fit member 300 is assembled in the assembly space, the second snap-fit limiting part 212 abuts against the end of the elastic snap-fit member 300 near the second housing 20.
[0047] Specifically, when the elastic latching member 300 is assembled onto the first latching limiting part 116, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are combined, so that the second latching limiting part 212 and the first housing 10 jointly press the elastic latching member 300, thereby limiting the elastic latching member 300 in the second direction. The second latching limiting part 212 extends at least partially toward the elastic latching member 300, so that the second latching limiting part 212, the first housing 10 and the elastic latching member 300 are in an interference fit, preventing the elastic latching member 300 from being excessively deformed when the game controller is assembled into the mounting slot 111, causing it to lose its latching function.
[0048] like Figure 3-4As shown, the elastic snap-fit member 300 also includes a snap-fit extension 330, which is disposed along the edge of the third body 310 and extends in a direction away from the snap-fit member 320. The snap-fit extension 330 and the third body 310 together form a snap-fit groove 340.
[0049] Specifically, the snap-fit extension 330 and the snap-fit portion 320 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the third body 310. The third body 310 is larger in the third-direction dimension than the snap-fit portion 320. The snap-fit portion 320 includes a guide portion 321 and a snap-fit portion 322. The snap-fit extension 330 is disposed along the edge of the third body 310 and extends away from the snap-fit portion 320. The snap-fit extension 330 and the third body 310 together form a snap-fit groove 340 to increase the elasticity of the elastic snap-fit member 300. When it is necessary to adjust the hardness of the elastic snap-fit member 300 later, glue can be filled into the snap-fit groove 340 to increase the hardness of the elastic snap-fit member 300 and increase the mechanical strength of the snap-fit game controller.
[0050] Specifically, the third body 310 and the card extension at least partially abut against the two opposite sides in the third direction, thereby limiting the elastic card 300 in the third direction. The third body 310 and the card extension abut against the two opposite sides in the second direction, respectively, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.
[0051] like Figure 1-2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6-8 As shown, the housing 100 includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 together form a receiving cavity 40. The first housing 10 has a first pivot portion 118 on the side facing the receiving cavity 40. The second housing 20 has a second pivot portion 214 on the side facing the receiving cavity 40.
[0052] The operation button 210 includes a button pivot 2105, a connecting part 2104, and a pressing part 2101. The pressing part 2101 and the button pivot 2105 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the connecting part 2104.
[0053] The button pivot portion 2105 has a first pivot hole 1181 and a second pivot hole 2141 at its opposite ends, for the first pivot portion 118 and the second pivot portion 214 to be inserted into. Alternatively, the first pivot portion 118 and the second pivot portion 214 have a first pivot hole 1181 and a second pivot hole 2141, respectively, for the button pivot portion 2105 to be inserted into, so that the operation button 210 is rotatably connected to the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. The fourth direction is the direction of rotation of the operation button 2100 around the button pivot portion 2105.
[0054] By employing a split housing 100 consisting of a first housing 10 and a second housing 20, and by including the key pivot 2105, connecting part 2104, and pressing part 2101 of the operation button 210, the positioning and installation of the operation button 210 are facilitated. The connecting part 2104 increases the distance between the pressing part 2101 and the pivot, thereby lengthening the lever arm for the operation button 210 to rotate when the user presses the pressing part 2101, making it easier for the user to press the pressing part 2101 and improving the user experience.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6-9 As shown, the pressing part 2101 extends towards the first direction from both ends in the second direction, making the end face of the pressing part 2101 in the first direction arc-shaped. Specifically, in the second direction, the end face of the pressing part 2101 in the first direction is arranged in an arc shape that goes from high to low and then back to high, increasing the surface area of the end face and thus increasing the contact area between the pressing part 2101 and the user's finger, thereby improving the user's operability. During use, the user's index finger rests on the end face of the pressing part 2101 in the first direction, and the index finger is in a posture with its length direction along a third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions.
[0056] In this embodiment, the pressing part 2101 is configured such that both ends of the pressing part 2101 extend toward the first direction in the second direction, so that the two extended parts of the pressing part 2101 in the first direction respectively abut against the left and right sides of the index finger in the second direction, thereby preventing the index finger from coming out of the pressing part 2101 from the second direction or the opposite direction of the second direction, and enhancing the user's operating experience.
[0057] In this embodiment, the distance from the upper surface of the end of the pressing part 2101 away from the other pressing part 2101 to the housing 100 is less than the distance from the upper surface of the end of the pressing part 2101 close to the other pressing part 2101 to the housing 100.
[0058] By setting the height of the portion of the pressing part 2101 protruding from the housing 100 to gradually decrease in the direction away from the other pressing part 2101, it fits the user's index finger better, increases the contact area between the pressing part 2101 and the user's index finger, and improves the user's operability.
[0059] In the first embodiment, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, the two opposite ends of the button pivot 2105 are respectively provided with a first pivot hole 1181 and a second pivot hole 2141, so that the first pivot 118 and the second pivot 214 can be inserted, so that the operation button 210 is rotatably connected to the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.
[0060] In the second embodiment, the first rotating shaft portion 118 and the second rotating shaft portion 214 are respectively provided with a first shaft hole 1181 and a second shaft hole 2141, so that the button rotating shaft portion 2105 can be inserted, so that the operation button 210 is rotatably connected to the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.
[0061] Specifically, the first housing 10 includes a first body 11 and two first grip portions 12. The two first grip portions 12 are disposed at one end of the first body 11 in the opposite direction of the first direction, and are respectively close to opposite ends in the third direction. Both first grip portions 12 extend at least partially in the opposite direction of the first direction. The first body 11 has a mounting groove 111 on one side in the second direction for mounting a game controller.
[0062] The second housing 20 includes a second main body 21 and two second grip sub-parts 22. The two second grip sub-parts 22 are disposed at one end of the second main body 21 in the opposite direction to the first direction, and are respectively close to opposite ends in the third direction. Both second grip sub-parts 22 extend at least partially in the opposite direction to the first direction. The first sub-grip 30 and the second sub-grip 30 together form the grip 30.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first main body 11 has two first button clearance grooves 114 at one end in the first direction, and the second main body 21 has two second button clearance grooves 211 at one end in the first direction. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are assembled, the first button clearance grooves 114 and the second button clearance grooves 211 together form a button clearance hole 50. The button clearance hole 50 is used for the pressing part 2101 of the operation button 210 to pass through the receiving cavity 40 so that the user can press the pressing part 2101 to control the game controller.
[0064] like Figure 6-7 and Figure 10As shown, the first housing 10 has a first housing limiting part 13 on the side near the receiving cavity 40, and the second housing 20 has a second housing limiting part 23 on the side near the receiving cavity 40. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are assembled, the first housing limiting part 13 and the second housing limiting part 23 are fixedly connected by screws 400 to fix the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. Specifically, the first housing limiting part 13 is embedded in the second screw hole 233 of the second housing limiting part 23, and the inner wall of the first screw hole 131 is provided with a housing limiting protrusion 231. The end of the first housing limiting part 13 away from the first housing 10 abuts against the housing limiting protrusion 231. The outer casing limiting protrusion 231 surrounds and forms a second sub-hole. The screw 400 passes through the second sub-hole to be embedded in the first screw hole 131 opened in the first outer casing limiting part 13. The limiting part of the screw 400 head abuts against the side of the outer casing limiting protrusion 231 away from the first housing 10, so as to fix the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 together by the screw 400.
[0065] The second screw hole 233 penetrates the surface of the second housing 20 away from the first housing 10, such as... Figure 10 As described above, a decorative piece 500 is provided at the opening of the second screw hole 233, and the outer surface of the decorative piece 500 forms an arc that adapts to the outer surface of the second housing 20.
[0066] like Figure 6-7 and Figure 11 As shown, the first housing 10 has a first positioning part 14 on the side near the receiving cavity 40, and the second housing 20 has a second positioning part 24 on the side near the receiving cavity 40. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are assembled, the second positioning part 24 is inserted into the first positioning part 14 to position the assembly of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, so as to facilitate the assembly of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 into a whole in the correct posture.
[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the connecting part 2104 is provided with three connecting reinforcing ribs 21041, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the connecting part 2104.
[0068] like Figure 2 , Figure 5-6 and Figure 8 As shown, the operation button 210 includes a button extension 2106, which is disposed on the pressing part 2101 and extends into the mounting groove 111. The side wall of the mounting groove 111 is provided with an operation clearance hole 115.
[0069] In the pressed state, the button extension 2106 passes through the operation clearance hole 115 and presses the button. In the unpressed state, the button extension 2106 retracts into the cavity 40.
[0070] In this embodiment, a pressing limit part 2102 is provided at the end of the pressing part 2101 away from the connecting part 2104, and the pressing limit part 2102 extends in a direction away from the pressing part 2101. In the pressing state, the pressing limit part 2102 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 111 to prevent the operation button 210 from rotating excessively, thereby preventing the button extension part 2106 from extending excessively out of the operation avoidance hole 115 and avoiding damage to the buttons of the game controller.
[0071] like Figure 6-8 As shown, the first housing 10 has a first button clearance groove 114. The second housing 20 has a second button clearance groove 211. The first button clearance groove 114 and the second button clearance groove 211 together form a button clearance hole 50, which is used to expose at least part of the pressing part 2101 so that the user can press the pressing part 2101 with their finger, thereby switching the handle accessory 1000 from the natural state to the pressing state.
[0072] The operation button 210 also includes a release limiting part 2103. The release limiting part 2103 is provided along one end edge of the pressing part 2101 near the mounting groove 111 and extends in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. The elastic member 220 is provided between the pressing part 2101 and the side wall of the mounting groove 111.
[0073] In its natural state, the button clearance hole 50 allows the pressing part 2101 to pass through, thus exposing the pressing part 2101. The elastic member 220 supports the pressing part 2101, and the release limit part 2103 abuts against the edge of the button clearance hole 50 to prevent the pressing part 2101 from completely disengaging from the button clearance hole 50, while also preventing foreign objects from entering the receiving cavity 40 through the gap between the button clearance hole 50 and the pressing part 2101.
[0074] like Figure 5-8 As shown, an elastic limiting groove 21011 is provided at one end of the pressing part 2101 near the mounting groove 111. The elastic limiting groove 21011 allows one end of the elastic member 220 to be inserted, thereby limiting the end of the elastic member 220 near the pressing part 2101.
[0075] The sidewall of the mounting groove 111, near the receiving cavity 40, is provided with at least two transverse limiting ribs 119 and at least one first longitudinal limiting rib 1101. The second housing 20, facing the receiving cavity 40, is provided with at least one second longitudinal limiting rib 213. The at least two transverse limiting ribs 119 abut against opposite sides of the elastic member 220 in a third direction, specifically against opposite sides of the end of the elastic member 220 away from the pressing portion 2101 in three directions. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction. The first longitudinal limiting rib 1101 and the second longitudinal limiting rib 213 abut against opposite sides of the end of the elastic member 220 away from the pressing portion 2101 in a second direction. Through the provision of at least two transverse limiting ribs 119, at least one first longitudinal limiting rib 1101, and at least one second longitudinal limiting rib 213, the end of the elastic member 220 away from the pressing portion 2101 is limited. The elastic limiting groove 21011 is used to limit the end of the elastic member 220 near the pressing part 2101, thereby completely limiting the elastic member 220.
[0076] In this embodiment, the elastic element 220 is foam. There are two lateral limiting ribs 119, which are positioned with their length direction along the second direction. There are two first longitudinal limiting ribs 1101, both positioned with their length direction along the second direction. There is one second longitudinal limiting rib 213, which extends along the second direction to abut against the foam. Specifically, the second longitudinal limiting rib 213 extends at least partially along a third direction to better limit the elastic element 220. Specifically, each of the two opposite second longitudinal limiting ribs 213 in the third direction has a reinforcing rib, which extends at least partially along the first direction or the opposite direction to enhance the mechanical strength of the second longitudinal limiting rib 213 against the first direction or the opposite direction, preventing the second longitudinal limiting rib 213 from bending and being damaged.
[0077] like Figure 5-8 As shown, the operation button 210 also includes an elastic limiting part 2107. The elastic limiting part 2107 is disposed within the elastic limiting groove 21011. The elastic limiting part 2107 includes a first elastic limiting rib 21071 and a second elastic limiting rib 21072. The first elastic limiting rib 21071 is positioned with its length direction along a third direction and extends toward the mounting groove 111. The first elastic limiting rib 21071 has a first sub-groove 210711. The second elastic limiting rib 21072 is positioned with its length direction along a second direction and extends toward the mounting groove 111. The second elastic limiting rib 21072 has a second sub-groove 210721.
[0078] When the elastic member 220 is embedded in the elastic limiting groove 21011, the end face of the elastic member 220 away from the mounting groove 111 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 210711 and / or the second sub-groove 210721. The elastic member 220 abuts against the two opposite side walls of the first sub-groove 210711 on its opposite sides in the third direction, and abuts against the two opposite side walls of the second sub-groove 210721 on its opposite sides in the second direction.
[0079] In this embodiment, the elastic element 220 is foam. There are three first elastic limiting ribs. The end face of the foam near the pressing part 2101 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 210711 and the second sub-groove 210721. There are two second elastic limiting ribs. Both second elastic limiting ribs are located on the same side of the first elastic limiting ribs, specifically the first elastic limiting rib closest to the second housing 20. The end of the foam near the pressing part 2101 and on one side in the second direction abuts against the elastic limiting groove 21011, and the opposite side abuts against the second elastic limiting rib, specifically against the side wall of the second sub-groove 210721. The foam abuts against the two side walls of the second sub-groove 210721 on opposite sides in the third direction. This arrangement completely limits the end of the foam near the pressing part 2101. In other embodiments, at least one second elastic limiting rib is disposed on the side of the first elastic limiting rib closest to the first housing 10 that is close to the first housing 10, and at least one second elastic limiting rib is disposed on the side of the first elastic limiting rib closest to the second housing 20 that is close to the second housing 20.
[0080] In some embodiments, the end face of the foam near the pressing part 2101 abuts against the bottom wall of the second sub-groove 210721.
[0081] In other embodiments, the end face of the foam near the pressing part 2101 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 210711.
[0082] Preferably, there are at least two first elastic limiting ribs and at least two second elastic limiting ribs. By increasing the number of first and second elastic limiting ribs, the contact area between the first and second elastic limiting ribs and the elastic member 220 is increased, thereby reducing the contact area between the elastic member 220 and the first and second elastic limiting ribs. This increases the support force provided by the elastic member 220 to the pressing part 2101 in both the natural and pressed states, improving the user's gaming experience.
[0083] In other embodiments, the elastic element 220 is a spring, and the elastic limiting portion 2107 is disposed along the periphery of the spring and extends in the opposite direction to the first direction to limit the end of the spring near the pressing portion 2101. An elastic limiting protrusion is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 111, and the elastic limiting protrusion is embedded in the end of the spring away from the pressing portion 2101, thereby limiting the end of the spring away from the pressing portion 2101. The elastic limiting portion 2107 is used to limit the installation of the spring.
[0084] Compared to the setting of the first elastic limiting rib and the second elastic limiting rib, in the embodiment where the surface of the elastic part 2101 that abuts against the pressing part 2101 is flat by filling the elastic limiting groove 21011, since the surface of the pressing part 2101 is arc-shaped, the filling of the elastic limiting groove 21011 results in uneven thickness of the pressing part 2101. Since the conventional production of the operation button 210 uses the injection molding demolding process, it will cause defects on the end face of the operation button 210 in the first direction, affecting the user experience. Therefore, the elastic limiting part 2107 with the first elastic limiting rib and the second elastic limiting rib is beneficial to improving the molding quality of the end face of the operation button 210 in the first direction and improving the user experience.
[0085] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 11 As shown, the mounting slot 111 has a notch 112 on its side wall in the opposite direction to the first direction. In the second direction, the distance from the upper surface of the notch 112 to the side wall of the mounting slot 111 away from the button module 200 in the first direction gradually increases, so that the user's fingers can reach the bottom of the game controller that has been assembled into the mounting slot 111, thereby making it easier to pop out the game controller.
[0086] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
