Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game console technology, and more specifically, to a handheld game console. Background Technology
[0002] Most handheld game consoles on the market use a fixed, integrated design, meaning the controllers are usually not detachable from the main unit. While this ensures the structural stability of the console, it also introduces many inconveniences.
[0003] On the one hand, the controllers and main unit of many handheld game consoles are permanently connected and cannot be disassembled or separated, which makes it difficult for users to carry, store, or organize them. For example, when users need to put the game console into a small backpack or other portable container, the overall size cannot be further reduced, limiting the flexibility of carrying and storing it.
[0004] On the other hand, for some handheld game consoles that require disassembly, the existing disassembly process is often quite cumbersome, requiring tools or a series of complicated steps to separate the controller from the main unit. This not only increases the complexity for users but also affects the convenience of the game console. Especially in scenarios where users need to frequently disassemble and reassemble, this complex disassembly process leads to unnecessary trouble and wasted time.
[0005] As a result, most existing game consoles do not fully consider the needs of users in different scenarios, especially the ease of disassembly, assembly, and portability. The disassembly and assembly design of game consoles usually lacks intuitive and simple operation methods, which often confuses or inconveniences users when they need to quickly disassemble the device, and affects the user experience during use, especially in scenarios such as travel and outings, where users find it difficult to quickly disassemble the game console into smaller, more portable parts.

In the unlocked position, the latching member and the docking member are disengaged, allowing the main unit and its associated operating handle to be switched to a disassembled state. In the assembled state, the main unit is electrically connected to the left and right operating handles. In the disassembled state, the main unit is separated from the left and right operating handles, allowing each to be carried independently.
[0009] As a further improvement, a protrusion is provided in the middle region of the sliding member, and a recess is provided in the guide rail member. After the alignment and movement to the assembly state, the protrusion is embedded in the recess.
[0010] As a further improvement, the slider is elongated, and the guide rail is a long groove with a length greater than that of the slider, so as to be able to accommodate the slider.
[0011] As a further improvement, the sliding member moves toward the guide rail member until they fit together, and then moves the protrusion toward the recessed part to the assembled state.
[0012] As a further improvement, a conductive element is provided on the end face of the sliding member, and another conductive element is provided on the guide rail member to be aligned and connected to the conductive element after assembly.
[0013] As a further improvement, all conductive components are configured as spring pin structures, and after being aligned and connected, they spring together to achieve the power connection between the main component and each operating handle.
[0014] As a further improvement, the sliding member protrudes and is disposed on the inner side of the corresponding operating handle, the guide rail is recessed on the outer side of the main unit, and the main unit is provided with a shim extending along the length of the guide rail.
[0015] As a further improvement, in the assembled state, the main component and each operating handle have an integrated structural design.
[0016] As a further improvement, the docking component is configured on the main component, and the snap-fit component is correspondingly configured on its respective operating handle.
[0017] As a further improvement, the latching component is linked to a button component, and the button component is automatically reset and positioned on the back of its corresponding operating handle; when the button component is pressed, the latching component and the mating component unlock and disengage from each other.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0019] 1. The handheld game console of this application achieves convenient assembly and disassembly of the main unit and each control handle through the cooperation of the engagement mechanism and the locking mechanism.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0029] Example
[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a handheld game console, including a main unit 1 with a display screen 4, and a left control handle 2 and a right control handle 3 that can be selectively attached and detached from the main unit 1.
[0031] The handheld game console also includes a joining mechanism and a locking mechanism. The joining mechanism is provided with a guide rail 5 disposed on the outer side of the main unit 1 and a sliding member 6 disposed on the inner side of each control handle. After switching from the disassembled state to the assembled state, the sliding members 6 are aligned and installed together along the preset path defined by the guide rail 5.
[0032] The locking mechanism includes a latching member 7 disposed on either the main unit 1 or the operating handle, and a docking member 8 disposed on the other. The latching member 7 can be freely switched between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the latching member 7 and the docking member 8 are interlocked, allowing the main unit 1 and its associated operating handle to be in an assembled state. In the unlocked position, the latching member 7 and the docking member 8 disengage, allowing the main unit 1 and its associated operating handle to be in a disassembled state. In the assembled state, the main unit 1 is electrically connected to the left operating handle 2 and the right operating handle 3. In the disassembled state, the main unit 1 is separated from the left operating handle 2 and the right operating handle 3, allowing each to be carried independently.
[0033] The handheld game console described above achieves convenient assembly and disassembly of the main unit 1 and each control handle through the cooperation of the engagement and locking mechanisms. When the user needs to disassemble the game console, they can easily separate the control handle from the main unit 1 by switching the operation latch 7 between the locked and unlocked positions. During assembly, the user can easily connect the control handle to the main unit 1, and the sliding part 6 is smoothly installed together along the path defined by the guide rail 5, ensuring simple and efficient operation.
[0034] In its disassembled state, the main unit 1 and the two control handles can be separated from each other, allowing each part to be carried independently. Users can disassemble or assemble them as needed, greatly improving the portability of the game console. It is especially suitable for travel, outings, and other scenarios. The disassembled parts are smaller and lighter, making it easier for users to carry and store them.
[0035] When locked, the latch 7 and docking part 8 in the locking mechanism can firmly connect the main unit 1 and the operating handle, ensuring that the game console will not loosen or fall off during use. This guarantees the safety and stability of the game console and avoids accidental disconnection due to improper operation or external force, thus improving the durability of the device. In the assembled state, the main unit 1 and the two operating handles are electrically connected to ensure the normal operation of the game console. Whether it is touch operation, button control or other interactive functions, the electrical connection ensures unimpeded information transmission between the handles and the main unit 1. In the disassembled state, the electrical connection is disconnected in time, ensuring that each part can be used independently, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of use.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the middle region of the slider has a corresponding protrusion 9, and the guide rail 5 has a corresponding recess 10. After being aligned and moved to the assembly state, the protrusion 9 is embedded in the recess 10. Clearly, the protrusion 9 and the recess 10 cooperate to ensure precise alignment of the slider and the guide rail 5. During assembly, this ensures accurate docking of the two components, avoiding misalignment or instability caused by human error or structural asymmetry. This improves the reliability of the assembly process and avoids unnecessary adjustments or reinstallation.
[0037] It should be mentioned that when the protrusion 9 of the slider is inserted into the recess 10 of the guide rail 5, the resulting mechanical locking effect enhances the fixation between the components, effectively preventing the main unit 1 and the operating handle from loosening or falling off due to external force, vibration or other factors in the assembled state. This improves the overall stability of the game console and ensures high stability during use.
[0038] Preferably, the slider is elongated, and the guide rail 5 has a length greater than the slider to accommodate it in a groove. The elongated structure of the slider allows it to slide smoothly along the groove of the guide rail 5, ensuring precise alignment along a predetermined trajectory during assembly and disassembly. This provides a smoother sliding experience, reduces jamming or unevenness, and improves the smoothness of assembly and ease of operation. Because the guide rail 5 is longer than the slider, the slider can slide freely within it for a certain distance, adapting to different assembly and disassembly needs. Users can adjust the position or angle of the slider according to actual needs, increasing flexibility and adaptability during use and meeting the requirements of different application scenarios for quick assembly / disassembly or precise docking.
[0039] Specifically, after the slider moves towards the guide rail 5 until they are in contact, the protrusion 9 is moved relative to the recess 10 to the assembled state. This ensures that the slider and guide rail 5 can smoothly merge upon contact, avoiding jamming or resistance caused by inaccurate alignment of components during assembly, making the assembly process smoother, effectively improving the user experience during assembly, and reducing the difficulty of operation. In addition, through the relative movement of the protrusion 9 along the recess 10, the slider and guide rail 5 can be more precisely aligned. This not only ensures that the protrusion 9 can be embedded inside the recess 10, but also, due to the guiding nature of this embedding action, the alignment between components is more precise, thereby achieving a firm connection, enhancing the stability of the game console in the assembled state, and avoiding malfunctions caused by loosening or misalignment during use.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a conductive element 11 is correspondingly provided on the end face of the sliding member, and another conductive element 11 is correspondingly provided on the guide rail 5, which is aligned and connected to the conductive element 11 after assembly. Furthermore, each conductive element 11 is configured as a spring pin structure, and the two elements spring against each other after alignment to achieve electrical connection between the main unit 1 and each operating handle.
[0041] In the above, the conductive component 11 ensures the reliability of the electrical connection through the spring pin structure, and the spring pin structure can generate sufficient pressure during connection to ensure the stability of the electrical connection, avoiding the situation where the game console cannot work properly due to poor contact, and ensuring that the electrical connection between the main unit 1 and the control handle can still maintain high-quality signal transmission after disassembly and assembly.
[0042] In this embodiment, the sliding member protrudes from the inner side of the corresponding operating handle, the guide rail 5 is recessed on the outer side of the main unit 1, and the main unit has a shim 12 extending along the length of the guide rail 5. The protrusion of the sliding member and the recess of the guide rail 5 cooperate to ensure the sliding member is accurately embedded in the guide rail 5, avoiding misalignment caused by component asymmetry, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the connection between components. Furthermore, the shim 12 along the length of the guide rail 5 effectively increases the contact area and engagement force between the sliding member and the guide rail 5. The shim 12 allows the sliding member to maintain a tighter contact with the guide rail 5, further enhancing the strength and stability of the connection. In the assembled state, the connection between the main unit 1 and the operating handle will not loosen or detach due to external force, vibration, or prolonged use, improving overall reliability.
[0043] In this embodiment, in the assembled state, the main unit and each control handle have an integrated structural design. This integrated design makes the game console appear simpler, smoother, and more harmonious, with a stronger sense of visual unity. The seamless connection avoids the significant separation between the control handle and the main unit 1 in traditional designs, making the game console more modern and stylish, and enhancing the product's aesthetics and market competitiveness.
[0044] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the docking member 8 is disposed on the main component, and the latching member 7 is correspondingly disposed on their respective operating handles. Specifically, the latching member 7 is linked to a button member 13, and the button member 13 is automatically reset and disposed on the back of its corresponding operating handle. When the button member 13 is pressed, the latching member 7 and the docking member 8 are unlocked and disengaged.
[0045] In the above, by setting the linkage between the button 13 and the latch 7, the user can unlock the latch 7 by pressing the button, so that the main unit and the operating handle can be easily separated. The button 13 is located on the back of the operating handle, so that the user can operate it conveniently in a natural grip posture without the need for extra force or angle adjustment, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly.
[0046] The button 13 automatically resets, ensuring that the latch 7 quickly returns to its original position after use, preventing issues with future operations due to forgetting to reset it. Furthermore, the button 13 is located on the back of the operating handle, avoiding external exposure and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
