Description

A joystick control box Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of control box technology, and in particular relates to a joystick control box. Background Technology

[0002] In current industrial control, game interaction, and drone operation, traditional button or keyboard control solutions suffer from cumbersome operation and response delays. Especially in scenarios requiring multi-dimensional precise control (such as robotic arm operation and virtual reality navigation), fixed buttons cannot achieve flexible directional and force adjustments, resulting in poor user experience and low operating efficiency. Therefore, joystick control boxes are needed for control.

[0003] Existing joystick control boxes typically use multiple circuit boards for assembly, focusing on waterproofing or openings in the outer casing for ventilation and drying of the internal circuit boards. However, the internal circuit boards have limited functionality and modular design, resulting in insufficient space utilization within the casing. Furthermore, the circuit boards are not integrated, leading to wasted space and increased weight. Existing control boxes also have numerous leads, affecting aesthetics, and complex circuit board connections increase the failure rate of the circuit boards and their connections, resulting in higher maintenance costs.
