[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] To address the problems in the background technology, this utility model proposes a game controller 6 mouse mode conversion accessory for use with a game controller 6. The game controller 6 has a plug-in part 61, including:

[0032] The grip housing 1 includes an arc-shaped upper surface 11 for conforming to the palm and a flat bottom surface 12 for contacting a tabletop, wherein the flat bottom surface 12 is provided with a connector 2 adapted to the insertion part 61; and

[0033] The handle fixing structure 3 is located inside the insertion interface 2;

[0034] The game controller 6 has a plug-in part 61 that is inserted into the grip shell 1 through the plug interface 2 and is detachably connected to the grip shell 1 through the controller fixing structure 3, and the operation buttons 64 of the game controller 6 are exposed to the outside of the grip shell 1.

[0035] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the game controller 6 is a standard electronic game controller, with left and right grips, directional keys, function buttons and shoulder triggers. The end of its grips is equipped with a standardized plug-in part 61 (metal contact or physical slot structure) for connecting the conversion accessory of this application to achieve form conversion.

[0036] The grip shell 1 is manufactured using injection molding, and its outline mimics the shape of a computer mouse. Its top is designed as a fixed-curvature arc-shaped upper surface 11 that conforms to left- or right-handed grip, smoothly narrowing from back to front to form a palm rest area. The bottom is a completely flat rectangular base plate with a certain degree of surface roughness to ensure smooth sliding on a desktop and provide a certain amount of friction. The arc-shaped upper surface 11 can be located on the left or right side of the flat bottom surface 12 to accommodate both left- and right-handed use. A rectangular insertion interface 2 is provided on the flat bottom surface 12, the length and width of which precisely match the shape of the game controller 6's insertion part 61 to achieve a tight connection.

[0037] During assembly, align the connector 61 of the game controller 6 vertically with the connector 2 on the bottom of the housing and press down. Once the connector 61 is fully inserted, the fixing structure will mechanically lock it in place. At this point, the button area of ​​the game controller 6 is fully exposed on the side of the grip housing 1. Users can conveniently operate the controller using either their left or right thumb, depending on whether it is a left- or right-handed conversion accessory. The grip housing 1 is designed to resemble a computer mouse and features an ergonomically curved upper surface 11, providing a more comfortable grip experience. It offers good support for both left- and right-handed users, reducing fatigue during extended use. Furthermore, this accessory connects to the game controller 6 via the standardized connector 61, enabling quick conversion between the game controller 6 and mouse modes. The operation is simple, requiring no tools for installation and removal.

[0038] In one possible implementation, a handle fixing structure 3 is provided inside the connector 2, through which the game controller 6 is detachably and fixedly connected to the grip shell 1. Specifically, the handle fixing structure 3 is built into both sides of the connector 2 and can adopt a detachable fixing structure such as a movable locking mechanism or a magnetic structure to ensure that the connection between the game controller 6 and the grip shell 1 remains stable during use and will not loosen due to operation or movement. At the same time, it also ensures that users can quickly install and remove accessories, improving the convenience and practicality of accessories.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the handle fixing structure 3 includes a displacement cavity 33 on one side of the insertion interface 2, a movable latching member 31 that is horizontally movable inside it, and a fixed latching member 32 on the other side of the insertion interface 2. The insertion part 61 is provided with a first locking hole 62 and a second locking hole 63 on both sides.

[0040] Combined with reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle fixing structure 3 includes a displacement cavity 33 located on one side of the insertion interface 2. A movable latching member 31 is horizontally movably disposed within this displacement cavity 33. The movable latching member 31 cooperates with the fixed latching member 32 to achieve a stable connection between the game handle 6 and the grip housing 1 through horizontal displacement. Specifically, when the insertion part 61 of the game handle 6 is inserted into the insertion interface 2 of the grip housing 1, the movable latching member 31 moves along the direction of the displacement cavity 33 and engages with the first locking hole 62 of the insertion part 61, thereby fixing the handle inside the grip housing 1. Simultaneously, the fixed latching member 32 is located on the other side of the insertion interface 2, serving as an auxiliary fixing element to ensure that the game handle 6 will not loosen or fall off during use. The insertion part 61 has a first locking hole 62 and a second locking hole 63 respectively on both sides. The movable latching member 31 achieves precise locking and reliable fixation of the handle by moving and engaging with these locking holes. This structural design is simple and effective, ensuring a stable connection between the handle and the grip housing 1, while also facilitating disassembly and installation by the user.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the active connector 31 includes:

[0042] The main body 311 has an axially opened through hole 312, and a return spring 313 is provided in the through hole 312;

[0043] The limiting part 314 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body part 311 to prevent the main body part 311 from disengaging from the displacement cavity 33;

[0044] A wedge-shaped latching part 315 is provided at one end of the main body part 311 facing the first locking hole 62, and both its upper and lower surfaces are guide slopes 3151;

[0045] A fixed abutment 316 is disposed in the displacement cavity 33 and passes through the through hole 312. The two ends of the return spring 313 abut against the main body 311 and the fixed abutment 316 respectively.

[0046] When the plug-in part 61 is inserted, the movable latching part 31 is driven to retract the return spring 313 by pressing the upper guide slope 3151. When the first locking hole 62 moves to the alignment position, the return spring 313 pushes the wedge-shaped latching part 315 into the locking position. When disassembling, the movable latching part 31 is driven to exit the unlocking position by pressing the lower guide slope 3151 by the inner wall of the first locking hole 62 to release the return spring 313.

[0047] Combined with reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable latching member 31 includes a main body 311, a limiting part 314, a wedge-shaped latching part 315, and a fixed abutment member 316. The main body 311 has an axially formed through hole 312, within which a return spring 313 is installed and limited by a protrusion on the inner wall of the hole. The two ends of the return spring 313 contact the main body 311 and the fixed abutment member 316 respectively, providing an elastic return function. The limiting part 314 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 311 to limit the displacement of the main body 311 and prevent it from disengaging from the displacement cavity 33. The wedge-shaped latching part 315 is located at the end of the main body 311 facing the first locking hole 62. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the wedge-shaped latching part 315 are guide slopes 3151, serving as guides and locking mechanisms.

[0048] When the connector 61 is inserted, it first contacts the upper guide slope 3151, pushing the movable latching member 31 to compress the return spring 313, causing the latching member to move backward within the displacement cavity 33. As the connector 61 continues to be inserted and aligns the first locking hole 62 with the movable latching member 31, the return spring 313 pushes the wedge-shaped latching member 315 into the first locking hole 62, completing the locking. At this point, a stable connection is formed between the handle and the housing. During disassembly, the user applies force to the inner wall of the first locking hole 62, causing the lower guide slope 3151 to contact and press the movable latching member 31, resulting in the return spring 313 compressing and pushing the latching member out, thereby unlocking and finally disengaging the connection. This design, through the cooperation of the guide slope 3151 and the return spring 313, ensures smooth operation of the latching member and reliable locking and unlocking during insertion and removal.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the flat bottom surface 12 is fitted with a plurality of feet 4. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 7 As shown, multiple feet 4 are embedded in the bottom of the flat base 12. Each foot 4 is made of a soft and wear-resistant material, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and pressure resistance. The feet 4 are evenly distributed at the four corners and center of the flat base 12, increasing the contact area between the base and the tabletop and ensuring the stability of the equipment during use. The height of the feet 4 ensures that the flat base 12 remains parallel to the tabletop, thus preventing the equipment from tilting or becoming unstable due to imbalance.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the grip housing 1 is further provided with a lanyard hole 5 for attaching a lanyard. Specifically, the lanyard hole 5 is located on the side of the grip housing 1 to ensure that the lanyard will not interfere with the normal operation of the device during use. The size of the lanyard hole 5 is adapted to common lanyard diameters, and the opening has a smooth edge treatment to prevent the lanyard from being worn or scratched when passing through it. Users can pass the lanyard through the lanyard hole 5 and secure it, thereby facilitating the carrying or hanging of the device and increasing the convenience and flexibility of the device.
