Description

A magnetic charging structure for the Switch 2 controller Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gaming peripheral equipment technology, specifically to a magnetic charging structure for the Switch 2 controller. Background Technology

[0002] As game consoles evolve and upgrade, the charging interfaces and methods for controllers differ across generations. For example, the charging interface of the Nintendo Switch 2 controller may be incompatible with older devices, requiring users to carry multiple charging devices, increasing usage costs and operational complexity. Current technologies often employ direct plug-in interfaces for controller charging, which suffer from issues such as wear and tear from plugging and unplugging, and difficulty in alignment. Some magnetic charging solutions suffer from inaccurate positioning or low charging stability due to insufficient structural design (such as unreasonable magnet layout or poor connector conductivity).

[0003] In addition, traditional charging cables are fixed by physical clips or adhesive, which are prone to loosening and falling off after long-term use, and lack a protection mechanism for the charging interface.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a charging structure that combines magnetic positioning, rapid docking, structural stability, and electrical isolation to solve problems such as poor compatibility and unsatisfactory user experience in existing technologies.

[0005] Existing technological shortcomings:

[0006] 1. Insufficient compatibility: The charging interfaces of the new and old controllers are not standardized, requiring support from multiple devices;

[0007] 2. Low connection reliability: Plug-in interfaces are prone to wear, and magnetic attraction solutions are not accurate in positioning;

[0008] 3. Structural design defects: The wire fixing method is unreliable and lacks an anti-detachment mechanism;

[0009] 4. Insufficient electrical safety: The magnetic connector does not effectively isolate the conductive and magnetic components, posing a short circuit risk.

[0010] Therefore, based on this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a magnetic charging structure for the Switch 2 controller. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The technical problems to be solved by this utility model are insufficient compatibility, low connection reliability, structural design defects, and insufficient electrical safety.

[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a magnetic charging structure for the Switch 2 controller, including an upper shell and a lower shell, the upper shell and the lower shell forming a housing assembly, a magnet fixing groove is fixedly provided on the inner side of the lower shell, a magnet is provided in the magnet fixing groove, a USB charging cable is provided on one side of the housing assembly, and the USB charging cable passes through the upper shell and the lower shell, and the end of the USB charging cable is provided with a magnetic connector that matches the charging interface of the Switch 2 controller.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two magnet fixing grooves are provided and are arranged opposite to each other on the inner side of the lower shell.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this invention, the USB charging cable is axially fixed through a housing assembly.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the magnetic connector includes a conductive spring, a magnetic metal ring, and an insulating base; the conductive spring corresponds to the charging contacts of the Switch 2 controller, the magnetic metal ring is used for magnetic positioning, and the insulating base physically isolates the conductive spring from the magnetic metal ring.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. Magnetic quick positioning improves charging convenience.

[0018] By setting a magnetic fixing groove on the inside of the lower shell and installing a magnet, the magnetic connector can automatically attach to the charging port of the Switch 2 controller, eliminating the need for precise plugging and unplugging, greatly improving the convenience of charging operations and user experience.

[0019] The magnets are arranged symmetrically to enhance adsorption stability and prevent the connection from being broken due to external interference during charging.

[0020] 2. Stable structure, extending service life

[0021] The USB charging cable is axially fixed by ultrasonic fixing of the upper and lower shells, which prevents the cable from loosening or falling off due to frequent bending or pulling, thus improving the product's durability.

[0022] The housing assembly (upper shell + lower shell) design not only protects the internal circuitry, but also effectively prevents external factors such as dust and liquids from affecting charging performance.

[0023] 3. Electrically safe and reliable, avoiding the risk of short circuits.

[0024] The magnetic connector adopts a layered design of conductive spring, magnetic metal ring and insulating base to ensure accurate docking of charging contacts while achieving physical isolation between conductive and magnetic parts to prevent short circuits or electromagnetic interference.

[0025] The design of the insulating base further enhances the safety of the charging process and meets the electrical protection standards for electronic products.

[0026] 4. Highly compatible, adaptable to different charging needs

[0027] This structure is not only suitable for the Switch 2 controller, but can also be adapted to the magnetic charging needs of other gaming devices or smart hardware by adjusting the contact layout of the magnetic connector, thus having high market scalability.

[0028] 5. Simplify production processes and reduce costs

[0029] The modular design (upper shell, lower shell, magnet fixing groove, etc.) facilitates mass production and assembly, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0030] The magnetic charging structure reduces the need for precision components in traditional plug-and-play interfaces, thus lowering maintenance and replacement costs. 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 refer to Figures 1-5. A magnetic charging structure for the Switch 2 controller includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, which are injection molded from high-strength plastic (such as ABS or PC). The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 form a shell assembly and are fixed by ultrasonic welding or snap-fit ​​to form a closed shell that protects the internal structure. Two magnet fixing grooves 3 are fixedly provided on the inner side of the lower shell 2, arranged opposite each other. Magnets 4 are placed in the magnet fixing grooves 3, and the shape of the groove matches the magnet to ensure that the magnet is stable and does not shift. The magnets 4 are made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB). The permanent magnet has high magnetic permeability and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable adsorption force. A USB charging cable 5 is provided on one side of the shell assembly, and the USB charging cable 5 passes through the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The USB charging cable 5 is axially fixed by the shell assembly. The USB charging cable 5 uses a standard USB-C or Micro-USB cable (depending on the Switch 2 interface). The cable is covered with a wear-resistant braided layer to improve tensile strength. The end of the USB charging cable 5 is provided with a magnetic connector 6 that matches the Switch 2 controller charging interface for docking with the Switch 2 controller charging interface.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-5. The magnetic connector 6 includes a conductive spring, a magnetic metal ring, and an insulating base. The conductive spring corresponds to the charging contacts of the Switch 2 controller. The conductive spring is made of copper alloy and makes elastic contact with the charging contacts of the Switch 2 controller to ensure low contact resistance. The magnetic metal ring is used for magnetic positioning. The magnetic metal ring surrounds the outside of the conductive spring to enhance the magnetic positioning effect. The material can be a soft magnetic alloy (such as permalloy). The insulating base physically isolates the conductive spring from the magnetic metal ring. The insulating base is made of high-temperature resistant engineering plastic (such as PBT or nylon) to isolate the conductive spring from the magnetic metal ring and prevent short circuits.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model:

[0043] Assembly and Workflow

[0044] Step 1: Install magnet 4

[0045] Insert magnet 4 into the magnet fixing groove 3 of the lower shell 2 to ensure that the magnetic pole direction is correct (N / S poles correspond to the magnetic interface of the Switch 2 controller).

[0046] Step 2: Secure the USB charging cable (5 points).

[0047] Pass the USB charging cable 5 through the pre-drilled holes in the upper shell 1 and lower shell 2, with the magnetic connector 6 at the end of the cable protruding outside the shell. Secure the cable with ultrasonic welding to prevent loosening.

[0048] Step 3: Close the shell

[0049] Align the upper shell 1 with the lower shell 2, apply pressure or use ultrasonic welding to form a complete sealed structure.

[0050] Step 4: Charging and docking

[0051] When the magnetic connector 6 is brought close to the charging port of the Switch 2 controller, the magnet 4 will automatically attract and align, and the conductive spring will make contact with the controller contacts to start charging.

[0052] 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.
