Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Xbox launcher technology, specifically an Xbox launcher. Background Technology

[0002] The Xbox Launcher, also known as the Xbox Wireless Controller, is a peripheral device used to control Xbox consoles and related devices for gaming and other operations. The Xbox Launcher supports Xbox Wireless technology to connect to the Xbox console; it can also connect wirelessly to Windows 10 / 11 computers, tablets, iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth, making it easy to switch between different devices.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application number CN202221143302.0 discloses an Xbox Series controller auxiliary device, belonging to the field of Xbox Series controller technology. It primarily addresses the issue of existing wired devices that connect to Xbox Series devices via clipping or bundling, supporting modification to allow the Xbox Series to have more extended buttons like the Elite controller. This forces the Xbox Series, originally a wireless device, into a wired configuration to utilize back buttons, sacrificing its inherent flexibility for more extended buttons. The proposed solution includes a controller and an auxiliary handle. The controller has a battery slot on its back, and the auxiliary handle has a fixed connector with a connection mechanism that is fixed to the inner wall of the battery slot. This invention allows an Xbox Series controller without back buttons to have four back buttons while also enabling wireless communication with the console. The four extended buttons not only support modification but also one-button macro functionality.

[0004] The current Xbox launcher has a short control signal transmission distance, poor signal transmission stability, and signal attenuation and interference during transmission, resulting in choppy gameplay, latency, and stuttering. It also provides poor battery protection, as the battery is easily damaged under conditions of overcurrent, overvoltage, overcharging, and over-discharging, requiring frequent battery replacements. Therefore, we need to propose an Xbox launcher. Utility Model Content

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an Xbox launcher, including a front shell 1 and a bottom shell 7 fixedly connected. The front shell 1 is equipped with a battery 4 for providing stable power, and a motherboard 6 is also installed inside the front shell 1. The battery 4 is connected to the motherboard 6. A switch button 3 connected to the motherboard 6 is installed at one end of the front shell 1. The front shell 1 is also equipped with a magnet 8 for magnetically fixing the button and the joystick, and a magnetic cover plate 5 covering the magnet 8.

[0035] The motherboard 6 integrates the following:

[0036] The main control module is responsible for processing various types of data and instructions;

[0037] The main control module includes a main control chip U3. Capacitors C2 and C36 are connected between pins 2 and 4 of the main control chip U3. Resistor R1 and capacitor C1 are connected to pin 5 of the main control chip U3. Capacitors C7 and C15 are connected to pin 21 of the main control chip U3. Capacitor C18 is connected between capacitors C7 and C15. Crystal oscillator Y2 is connected between pins 22 and 23 of the main control chip U3.

[0038] Crystal oscillator Y2 generates a stable 24MHz clock signal through oscillation, providing a reference clock for the main control chip u3. The various functional units within the chip operate synchronously based on this clock signal, ensuring the orderly execution of instructions, data processing, and other tasks.

[0039] The “DCVDD” pin is connected to the power supply to provide the chip with the power required for operation. The main control chip U3 uses multiple capacitors (such as C1, C2, C36, etc.) to filter and remove noise and spurious signals from the power supply, ensuring a stable and clean power supply for the main control chip U3. This allows the main control chip U3 to operate stably and avoids performance issues caused by power fluctuations.

[0040] The "AUXL" pin of the main control chip U3 is used to receive analog signals from the analog signal input module. The chip's internal ADC converts these analog signals into digital signals for analysis and processing. The "USBDP" and "USBDM" pins are used for USB communication, enabling data transmission and communication between the main control chip and external devices. This includes transmitting player operation commands and receiving device feedback information. The "LED_R" and "LED_B" pins are used to control the indicator light module, outputting signals to control the on / off state and display status of the indicator lights.

[0041] An amplifier module that amplifies the power of radio frequency signals;

[0042] The amplification module includes an RF amplifier chip IC1 and a voltage regulator chip U5. Pin 4 of the RF amplifier chip IC1 is connected to a capacitor C7. A resistor R2 is connected between pin 5 of the RF amplifier chip IC1 and pin 27 of the main control chip U3. A resistor R6 is connected between pin 6 of the RF amplifier chip IC1 and pin 26 of the main control chip U3.

[0043] A capacitor C33 and an antenna ANT2 are connected in series on pin 10 of the RF amplifier chip IC1. An inductor L2 is connected between pin 16 of the RF amplifier chip IC1 and pin 3 of the voltage regulator chip U5. Pin 14 of the RF amplifier chip IC1 is connected to pin 3 of the voltage regulator chip U5.

[0044] “VPWR” provides the operating power input for the amplifier module. Inductor L2 suppresses current surges and stabilizes the power output, ensuring a stable and clean power supply for the RF amplifier chip IC1, enabling it to operate stably.

[0045] The radio frequency signal from the main control module and other front-end circuits is input to the RF amplifier chip IC1 through the relevant pins. Based on the amplification principle of active devices such as transistors, the power of the input radio frequency signal is amplified.

[0046] The amplified radio frequency signal is output from the "ANT" pin and connected to the antenna (ANT2) for transmission, enhancing the signal transmission distance and coverage.

[0047] The diode D1 (transient voltage suppressor diode) connected to pin 4 of the RF amplifier chip IC1, and the diode D13 (transient voltage suppressor diode) connected to the antenna ANT2, can quickly respond to transient overvoltages (such as high-voltage pulses generated by electrostatic discharge or lightning strikes) in the circuit, clamping the overvoltage to a safe voltage range and protecting the chip and subsequent circuits from damage caused by excessive voltage surges.

[0048] An indicator light module for providing feedback on the working and charging status of the work box;

[0049] The indicator module includes a light-emitting diode D9 and a resistor R18 connected in series, and a light-emitting diode D12 and a resistor R3 connected in series; the resistor R18 is connected to pin 9 of the main control chip U3, and the resistor R3 is connected to pin 10 of the main control chip U3.

[0050] LED D9 is a red indicator light, and LED D12 is a blue indicator light. When current flows into the positive terminal and out of the negative terminal of the LED, electrons and holes recombine in the internal semiconductor material, releasing energy and radiating it in the form of photons, thus achieving light emission.

[0051] Resistors R3 and R18 are current-limiting resistors, each with a resistance of 1KΩ. Since the operating current of the LED needs to be controlled within a certain range, excessive current will cause the LED to overheat and be damaged; insufficient current will result in poor luminous effect. The current-limiting resistors are connected in series with the LED. According to Ohm's law, by adjusting the resistance value, the current flowing through the LED is limited, ensuring it operates under safe and appropriate current conditions.

[0052] Analog signal input module responsible for receiving external analog signals;

[0053] The analog signal input module includes a microphone (MIC). The R+ pin of the microphone is connected to a capacitor C38, which is connected to pin 36 of the main control chip U3. The L+ pin of the microphone is connected to a capacitor C37, which is connected to pin 7 of the main control chip U3. The MIC+ pin of the microphone is connected to a resistor R15, which is connected to pin 2 of the main control chip U3.

[0054] The “AUX1” interface is used to connect external audio devices (such as headphones, microphones, etc.). The “L” (pin 3) and “R” (pin 2) of the interface correspond to the left and right channels of the audio signal, respectively. When an external audio device is plugged in, its output analog audio signal is connected to the circuit through this interface.

[0055] The analog audio signals input from the “AUXL” (left channel) and “AUXR” (right channel) pins first pass through capacitors C37 and C38. The capacitors act as DC blockers and AC passers, filtering out the DC component in the signal and allowing only the AC audio signal to pass through, ensuring the purity of the signal input to subsequent circuits.

[0056] The microphone signal input from the "MIC" pin passes through resistor R15. This resistor limits current and matches the signal, preventing excessive input signal from damaging subsequent circuitry, and also adjusts the signal impedance to match the subsequent circuitry. The signal output from the "DACOUT" pin is used to amplify and control the gain of the microphone signal to optimize the sound captured by the microphone.

[0057] A charging management module that manages the charging process of the equipment;

[0058] The charging management module includes a charging dock USB2, a protection chip Q6, and a charging management chip U4. Pin 1 of the charging dock USB2 is connected to pin 1 of the protection chip Q6. A diode D4 is connected to pin 1 of the charging dock USB2. A diode D3 is connected to pin 2 of the charging dock USB2. A diode D2 is connected to pin 3 of the charging dock USB2.

[0059] Pin 3 of the protection chip Q6 is connected to pin 4 of the charging management chip U4. Pin 2 of the charging management chip U4 is connected to resistor R8, and pin 1 of the charging management chip U4 is connected to resistors R9 and R14 respectively.

[0060] The amplification module, indicator light module, analog signal input module, and charging management module are all electrically connected to the main control module, and the charging management module is electrically connected to the indicator light module.

[0061] The external USB power supply is connected via the "USB-A-MALE" interface (i.e., USB2). Three diodes (YVS diodes, D2, D3, and D4) quickly conduct when a transient overvoltage (such as static electricity or surge) occurs at the USB2 input voltage of the charging dock, clamping the overvoltage to a safe range and preventing excessive voltage from damaging subsequent circuit components.

[0062] The charging management chip U4, model GC4056, manages the battery charging process. Resistor R8 connected to pin 2 of the charging management chip U4 sets the charging current. Pin 7 of the charging management chip U4 monitors the charging status; when the battery is charging, this pin outputs a corresponding signal (such as low or high level), which can be displayed through the main control module. Pin 6 of the charging management chip U4 reflects its standby state; after the battery is fully charged, the charging management chip U4 enters standby mode, and this pin outputs a corresponding signal. Pin 1 of the charging management chip U4 monitors the battery temperature; when the temperature is abnormal, the charging management chip U4 can automatically adjust the charging strategy or stop charging to prevent battery damage due to overheating.

[0063] In use, when players operate the buttons, joysticks, and other components on the launcher, the analog signal input module converts these operations into analog electrical signals and transmits them to the main control module. The main control chip receives the signals from the analog signal input module, analyzes, decodes, and processes them. It then converts these operation signals into a command format that the game console can recognize and sends them wirelessly or via wired connection to devices such as the Xbox console, thereby enabling control of game characters, the interface, and more.

[0064] The signal processed by the main control module is transmitted to the amplification module. The RF amplification chip amplifies the signal power, enhancing signal strength and reducing signal attenuation and interference during transmission. The amplified signal is then transmitted wirelessly (or via a wired connection) through components such as antennas, ensuring stable and reliable communication with devices such as the Xbox console, allowing players' control commands to be transmitted promptly and accurately.

[0065] The main control module sends control signals to the indicator light module based on the transmitter box's operating status (such as whether it is operating normally, connection status, etc.) and battery charging status. The operating indicator light (D9) and the charging indicator light (D12) display corresponding information based on the received signals. For example, a solid working indicator light indicates that the device is operating normally, while flashing indicates a connection error. Different colors or flashing patterns of the charging indicator light indicate different charging stages, making it easy for users to understand the transmitter box's status.

[0066] During charging, the charging management chip U4 and the protection chip Q6 work together. The charging management chip U4 monitors parameters such as battery voltage and current, and adjusts the charging current and voltage according to the battery status to ensure safe and efficient charging. The protection chip Q6 monitors in real time during charging, and when the voltage or current exceeds the safety threshold, it quickly cuts off the charging circuit or performs current limiting or voltage limiting to prevent the battery from being damaged by overcharging, overcurrent, or overvoltage.

[0067] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
