[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a game controller that can be equipped with a mobile device 6.

[0034] The game controller includes a controller body 1, a connecting component 2, and a back cover 3. The controller body 1 includes a front cover 11, a first control handle 12, and a second control handle 13. The first control handle 12 and the second control handle 13 are respectively located at opposite ends of the front cover 11 along its length, so that the user can operate the first control handle 12 and the second control handle 13 with both hands to control the game controller.

[0035] The mobile device 6 can be placed on the faceplate 11 between the first control handle 12 and the second control handle 13. The faceplate 11 has an opening 111 through which the screen of the mobile device 6 can be exposed, so as to facilitate the user to view the screen through the opening 111. The back cover 3 is detachably connected to the faceplate 11 and is used to cover the mobile device 6 on the faceplate 11. Thus, the mobile device 6 can be covered by the faceplate 11, the first control handle 12, the second control handle 13 and the back cover 3, so as to realize the installation of the mobile device 6 on the game controller, thereby preventing the mobile device 6 from being disconnected due to accidental detachment from the game controller, or even being damaged.

[0036] The connecting component 2 is located between the faceplate 11 and the first control handle 12. The connecting component 2 includes a plug 21 that can rotate relative to the faceplate 11. The plug 21 is used to connect to the mobile device 6 on the side facing the second control handle 13. Rotating the plug 21 adjusts its angle towards the second control handle 13, allowing the user to first plug the plug 21 into the mobile device 6 and then place the mobile device 6 inside the faceplate 11. The plug 21 rotates with the mobile device 6, allowing the rear cover 3 to conceal the mobile device 6 inside the faceplate 11. This ensures the mobile device 6 is installed and connected to the controller body 1 without unstable connections, preventing disconnections during gameplay and ensuring a smooth gaming experience. Optionally, the plug 21 is a USB port.

[0037] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the connecting assembly 2 also includes a bracket 22, which is disposed on the face shell 11. The bracket 22 has two support arms 221 arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the face shell 11. The plug 21 is disposed between the two support arms 221. The support arms 221 have a groove 2211 on the side away from the face shell 11. The plug 21 is connected to a rotating shaft 211. The rotating shaft 211 of the plug 21 is rotatably disposed in the two grooves 2211, and the first control handle 12 can block the grooves 2211. Thus, by rotating the rotating shaft 211 in the grooves 2211 of the two support arms 221, the plug 21 can swing relative to the face shell 11, thereby adjusting the angle of the plug 21 toward the second control handle 13.

[0038] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 2 also includes a reset member 23 and an elastic member 24. The reset member 23 is movably mounted on the bracket 22 in a direction perpendicular to the face shell 11. The elastic member 24 is sleeved on the reset member 23, and its two ends abut against the bracket 22 and the reset member 23 respectively, for driving the reset member 23 to always move towards the side closer to the face shell 11. The plug 21 is connected to a reset arm 212, which is located between the reset member 23 and the face shell 11. The reset member 23 can press the reset arm 212 against the face shell 11, so that the plug 21... The plug 21 is tilted relative to the front cover 11. Before installing the mobile device 6, the plug 21 automatically tilts relative to the front cover 11 under the influence of the reset member 23. This facilitates the initial connection of one side of the mobile device 6 to the plug 21. During the placement of the mobile device 6 inside the front cover 11, the plug 21 rotates with the mobile device 6, allowing the rear cover 3 to cover the mobile device 6 inside the front cover 11. After removing the mobile device 6 from the game controller, the plug 21 tilts relative to the front cover 11 again under the influence of the reset member 23, facilitating the next installation of the mobile device 6. Optionally, the reset arm 212 is angled to the plug 21, so that when the reset arm 212 is pressed closer to the front cover 11 by the reset member 23, the plug 21 can gradually tilt relative to the front cover 11.

[0039] The groove 2211 extends through both sides of the support arm 221 along the width direction of the face shell 11, and the distance between the two support arms 221 is greater than the width of the plug 21. This allows the plug 21 to move between the two support arms 221 of the bracket 22 along the width direction of the face shell 11, thus adapting to mobile devices 6 of different widths. Simultaneously, the width of the groove 2211 along the length direction of the face shell 11 is greater than the diameter of the pivot 211, allowing the plug 21 to move between the two support arms 221 of the bracket 22 along the length direction of the face shell 11, thus adapting to mobile devices 6 of different lengths. Furthermore, the depth of the groove 2211 in the direction perpendicular to the face shell 11 is greater than the diameter of the pivot 211, allowing the plug 21 to move between the two support arms 221 of the bracket 22 in a direction perpendicular to the face shell 11, thus adapting to mobile devices 6 of different thicknesses.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the game controller also includes a locking assembly 4, which is located between the front cover 11 and the first control handle 12, and / or between the front cover 11 and the second control handle 13. The locking assembly 4 is used to lock or unlock the back cover 3, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the back cover 3 and the front cover 11. When the locking assembly 4 locks the back cover 3, the back cover 3 will not detach from the front cover 11; when the locking assembly 4 unlocks the back cover 3, the back cover 3 can be removed from the front cover 11. Optionally, one of the back cover 3 and the front cover 11 is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a slot. The protrusion can engage with the slot, thereby facilitating the detachable connection between the back cover 3 and the front cover 11 through the locking assembly 4 in conjunction with the protrusion and the slot.

[0041] Specifically, the locking assembly 4 includes a movable block 41, a buckle 42 and a toggle arm 43 disposed on the movable block 41. The movable block 41 is movably disposed on the front shell 11 along the width direction of the front shell 11. The rear shell 3 has a slot 32. The toggle arm 43 can drive the movable block 41 to move so that the buckle 42 can be inserted into or disengaged from the slot 32. Thus, after the toggle arm 43 is toggled so that the buckle 42 is inserted into the slot 32, the rear shell 3 can be prevented from disengaging from the front shell 11 in a direction perpendicular to the front shell 11. After the toggle arm 43 is toggled so that the buckle 42 is disengaged from the slot 32, the rear shell 3 can be disengaged from the front shell 11 in a direction perpendicular to the front shell 11. Optionally, the movable block 41 is further provided with a first positioning protrusion 411, and the first control handle 12 and / or the second control handle 13 are provided with a second positioning protrusion 131. When the buckle 42 is inserted into the slot 32, the first positioning protrusion 411 is engaged with one side of the second positioning protrusion 131. When the buckle 42 is disengaged from the slot 32, the first positioning protrusion 411 is engaged with the other side of the second positioning protrusion 131. Thus, by engaging the first positioning protrusion 411 with different sides of the second positioning protrusion 131, the buckle 42 can be prevented from being manually controlled and automatically engaging or disengaging from the slot 32, thus affecting the normal use of the game controller.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the game controller also includes a heat dissipation cover 5, and a heat dissipation vent 31 is provided on the back cover 3. The heat dissipation cover 5 is detachably connected to the back cover 3 to block the heat dissipation vent 31. Thus, after the heat dissipation cover 5 is removed from the back cover 3, part of the mobile device 6 can be exposed through the heat dissipation vent 31. An external heat sink can be adapted through the heat dissipation vent 31 to improve the heat dissipation capacity of the game controller and improve the user experience. Optionally, the back cover 3 also has a camera window, through which the camera of the mobile device 6 can be exposed.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
