[0030] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below, showing only the parts related to the embodiments of this utility model.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a charging dock for a game controller, including: a charging dock body 1, a magnetic suction component 2, and a charging component 3; a limiting post 13 and a limiting recess 14 are provided on the surface of the charging dock body 1 that contacts the game controller, the limiting post 13 and the limiting recess 14 are used to limit the game controller during charging; the magnetic suction component 2 is located on the inner wall of the charging dock body 1, and is used to magnetically connect with the game controller; the charging component 3 is located inside the charging dock body 1; the charging component 3 includes a charging contact 31, which passes through the charging dock body 1 and is exposed on the charging dock body 1, and is used to contact the receiving contact of the game controller and charge the game controller.
[0033] Specifically, the charging dock is used to charge the game controller. The charging dock includes a main body 1, a magnetic component 2, and a charging component 3. The main body 1, magnetic component 2, and charging component 3 form the core structure of the charging dock. The surface of the main body 1 that contacts the game controller has limiting posts 13 and limiting recesses 14, which precisely position and fix the game controller during charging. The magnetic component 2 is installed on the inner wall of the main body 1 and is used for magnetic connection with the game controller, ensuring that the receiving contacts on the game controller accurately align with the charging contacts 31 on the charging dock when charging is needed, further ensuring the stability of the game controller during charging. The charging component 3 is located inside the main body 1. The charging contacts 31 on the charging component 3 pass through the main body 1 and are exposed to the outside, so as to contact the receiving contacts of the game controller, thereby realizing the charging function.
[0034] The limiting post 13, limiting recess 14 and magnetic component 2 provided on the charging base in this embodiment ensure the stability of the game controller during the charging process and improve the charging efficiency of the game controller.
[0035] Below, in conjunction with Figure 1-3 The charging dock for the game controller described in this embodiment will be described in detail.
[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the surface of the charging base body 1 that contacts the game controller is arc-shaped, with the limiting post 13 and the limiting recess 14 located at the arc-shaped bottom 117. The charging base body 1 serves to charge the game controller while also providing support. Therefore, to ensure better contact with the game controller and accurate charging, the surface of the charging base that contacts the game controller is arc-shaped to match the bottom shape of the game controller, ensuring its stability during charging. It should be noted that the limiting post 13 and the limiting recess 14 are located at the arc-shaped bottom 117 for better connection with the corresponding parts of the game controller.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting post 13 is located in the middle of the arc-shaped bottom 117, and the limiting recess 14 is located at the edge of the arc-shaped bottom 117 and distributed on both sides of the limiting post 13. The number of limiting posts 13 can optionally be one, and the number of limiting recesses 14 can optionally be two. The limiting posts 13 and limiting recesses 14 are evenly distributed on the arc-shaped bottom 117 and contact the corresponding positions of the game controller, accurately limiting the game controller. When the game controller is placed on the charging dock body 1, the center of gravity of the game controller and the center of gravity of the charging dock are on the same axis, ensuring the stability of the game controller when charging.
[0038] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the charging base body 1 includes a main shell 11 and a bottom shell 12, which are connected to form a cavity for accommodating the magnetic suction component 2 and the charging component 3. Specifically, the charging base body 1 includes a main shell 11 and a bottom shell 12. The main shell 11 is open on one side, and the bottom shell 12 is detachably connected to the opening of the main shell 11. After the main shell 11 and the bottom shell 12 are connected, a cavity is formed inside the main shell 11, and the magnetic suction component 2 and the charging component 3 can be placed inside the cavity. The opening of the main shell 11 is provided with multiple mounting posts 111, and corresponding mounting holes 121 are provided on the bottom shell 12. The bottom shell 12 can be detachably connected to the main shell 11 by screws passing through the mounting holes 121 and the mounting posts 111 on the main shell 11.
[0039] It should be noted that when charging the game controller, the game controller is in contact with the upper surface of the main shell 11, which is curved. Furthermore, to improve the stability of the charging base 1, the main shell 11 is designed to be narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, ensuring the stability of the game controller during charging.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 112 is provided on the inner wall of the main shell 11, which is used to accommodate the magnetic component 2. Specifically, the magnetic component 2 is used to match the magnetic connector on the game controller, thereby achieving precise positioning of the game controller and facilitating its charging on the charging dock body 1. Since the game controller is in contact with the upper surface of the main shell 11 during the actual charging process, a receiving groove 112 is provided on the inner wall of the upper surface of the main shell 11, and the magnetic component 2 is correspondingly placed in the receiving groove 112. The receiving groove 112 is provided to fix and position the magnetic component 2, facilitating the magnetic connection between the magnetic component 2 and the game controller. It should be noted that the shape of the receiving groove 112 is designed according to the shape and number of the magnetic component 2, and the two match each other to ensure that the magnetic component 2 can be properly placed in the receiving groove 112. In this embodiment, the magnetic component 2 can be a magnet, and there are at least two magnetic components 2 to improve the stability of the magnetic connection between the magnetic component 2 and the game controller.
[0041] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 3As shown, a mounting base 113 is also provided on the inner wall of the main shell 11, which is used to fix the charging component 3. Specifically, the mounting base 113 is provided to fix the charging component 3. Since the charging contacts 31 on the charging component 3 pass through the charging base body 1, and the game controller will contact the upper surface of the main shell 11 during charging, the mounting base 113 is set in the inner wall of the upper surface of the main shell 11 to fix the charging component 3. It should be noted that the mounting base 113 is provided with a through hole 114, which corresponds to the connection hole 32 on the charging component 3. The charging component 3 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base 113 by screws passing through the connection hole 32 and the through hole 114 on the mounting base 113. The upper surface of the main shell 11 is provided with a small hole 115 for the charging contacts 31 on the charging component 3 to pass through, so that the part of the charging component 3 exposed outside the main shell 11 can be electrically connected to the game controller to charge the game controller.
[0042] In this embodiment, the charging component 3 may be a charging circuit board.
[0043] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the charging dock also includes a power supply component 4, which is located inside the main body 1 of the charging dock. One end of the power supply component 4 is connected to an external power supply, and the other end is electrically connected to the charging component 3. Specifically, the power supply component 4 is located inside the main body 1 of the charging dock and is electrically connected to the charging component 3 to provide power to the charging component 3. A connecting seat 116 is also provided inside the main shell 11 of the charging dock body 1. The connecting seat 116 is provided to fix the power supply component 4, so that it is fixedly connected inside the main shell 11. It should be noted that the power supply component 4 can be a power supply circuit board, on which a battery is installed. The power supply circuit board is electrically connected to the charging component 3 and can provide power to the charging component 3, so that the charging component 3 can charge the game controller.
[0044] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power supply circuit board may also include a power supply interface 41, which is located on the side wall of the charging base body 1 and is used to connect to an external power supply. The external power supply can supply power to the battery on the power supply circuit board through the power supply interface 41 to ensure that the battery has sufficient power.
[0045] In some other embodiments, the power supply circuit board may only have a power supply interface 41 and no battery. After the power supply interface 41 is connected to an external power supply, the power supply circuit board can directly supply power to the charging component 3 to charge the game controller.
[0046] The embodiment is merely a special case and does not indicate that this utility model is implemented in such a way.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] A game controller is provided, which is charged using a charging dock as described in Embodiment 1. The game controller includes a controller body, a limiting groove, a limiting protrusion, a magnetic connector, and receiving contacts. The limiting groove, limiting protrusion, magnetic connector, and receiving contacts are all located at the bottom of the controller body. The limiting groove and limiting protrusion are respectively matched and connected to a limiting post and a limiting recess on the charging dock. The magnetic connector is magnetically connected to a magnetic assembly on the charging dock. The receiving contacts contact the charging contacts and charge the controller. The surface of the controller body that contacts the charging dock is an arc shape that matches the charging dock.
[0049] Specifically, in order to charge the game controller using the charging dock in Embodiment 1, corresponding positions on the game controller need to match with the charging dock to achieve the desired function and purpose. The limiting groove on the game controller can match and connect with the limiting post on the charging dock, the limiting protrusion can match and connect with the limiting recess on the charging dock, the magnetic connector can magnetically connect with the magnetic assembly, and the receiving contact can contact and charge with the charging contact. The limiting groove, limiting protrusion, magnetic connector, and receiving contact on the game controller are all designed to facilitate matching and connection with the charging dock, ensuring accurate positioning and charging of the game controller on the charging dock, guaranteeing the stability of the game controller during charging, and ultimately improving the charging efficiency of the game controller.
