[0028] In view of the technical problems described in the background art, such as Figure 1-11 As shown, a steering wheel for mounting a game controller is provided, comprising: an outer ring 1, wherein symmetrically arranged protrusions 2 are provided on the inner side of the outer ring 1, and elastic buckles 3 are provided at the positions of the protrusions 2; a controller shell 4, wherein a receiving area 5 for mounting the controller is provided on the controller shell 4, and recessed sliding grooves 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the controller shell 4, the sliding grooves 6 being adapted to the protrusions 2, and recessed locking positions 7 being provided at the positions of the sliding grooves 6; wherein the controller shell 4 is inserted and assembled from above the outer ring 1, the sliding grooves 6 and the protrusions 2 are engaged and slid, and the elastic buckles 3 are positioned at the locking positions 7.

[0029] In use, the handle shell 4 has recessed receiving areas 5 designed to fit the contours of the game controller, facilitating easy installation. Slides 6 are located at both ends of the handle shell 4, while protrusions 2 are located on the inner side of the outer ring 1. When the handle shell 4 is used in conjunction with the outer ring 1, the slides 6 at both ends engage with the protrusions 2 as the handle shell 4 is inserted from above, guiding the downward pressing motion. Simultaneously, locking positions 7 are located at the slides 6, and elastic latches 3 are located at the protrusions 2. Pressing the handle shell 4 downward causes the elastic latches 3 to retract. When the elastic latches 3 move to the locking positions 7, they engage with the locking positions 7, thus connecting the handle shell 4 to the outer ring 1. To detach the handle shell 4 from the outer ring 1, the user pushes the elastic latches 3, disengaging them from the locking positions 7, allowing the handle shell 4 to be used independently with the game controller.

[0030] As described above, the detachable structure of the outer ring 1 and the handle shell 4 enables a quick switch between traditional handle and steering wheel modes, preserving the portability of the handle while providing a realistic steering wheel experience. This also enriches the usage options: users can combine the handle shell 4 with the outer ring 1 or detach the handle shell 4 from the outer ring 1, offering more versatility.

[0031] Preferably, the outer ring 1 includes an upper ring 8 and a lower ring 9 disposed below the upper ring 8, and the upper ring 8 and the lower ring 9 are connected and fixed by screws.

[0032] As shown in the figure, the elastic buckle 3 includes a mounting groove 10 on the lower ring 9, a spring placed in the mounting groove 10, a push block 11 placed in the mounting groove 10, a movable opening 12 on the upper ring 8, and an opening 13 at the position of the protrusion 2. The push block 11 includes a pushing part 14, a locking part 15, and a sliding part 16. The pushing part 14 is placed in the mounting groove 10 and abuts against the spring. The locking part 15 extends to the opening 13 and engages with the locking position 7 under the action of the spring. The sliding part 16 extends outside the movable opening 12 and drives the push block 11 to move by external force.

[0033] The above provides an implementable elastic buckle 3 structure, which includes a spring and a push block 11 (the spring is not shown in the figure). To facilitate the installation of the spring and the push block 11, a mounting groove 10 is provided at the position of the protrusion 2 of the lower ring 9, and both the spring and the push block 11 are placed in the mounting groove 10. To realize the installation and removal of the handle shell 4 from the outer ring 1, the push block 11 structure includes a pushing part 14, a locking part 15, and a sliding part 16. The pushing part 14 is placed in the mounting groove 10 and is used to abut against the spring; the locking part 15 extends from the side of the protrusion 2 to the locking position 7 and is used to cooperate with the locking position 7 to fix the handle shell 4; the sliding part 16 extends from the top of the protrusion 2 and is used by the user to move against the spring and disengage the locking part 15 from the locking position 7.

[0034] When in use, when the handle shell 4 is pressed down from the outer ring 1, the locking part 15 contacts the end face of the slide groove 6, and the pushing part 14 compresses the spring. When the locking part 15 moves to the locking position 7, under the action of the spring, the locking part 15 is pushed to engage with the locking position 7. When separating, the user moves the sliding part 16 to compress the spring, forcing the locking part 15 to disengage from the locking position 7, thus separating the handle shell 4 from the outer ring 1.

[0035] refer to Figure 6-11 As shown, the groove 6 has a recessed area 17, and the upper end of the recessed area 17 forms a first inclined surface 18; the front end of the locking part 15 has a second inclined surface 19; wherein, the handle shell 4 is inserted and assembled from above the outer ring 1, and the second inclined surface 19 contacts the first inclined surface 18, pushing the push block 11 to compress the spring.

[0036] To improve the smoothness of pressing the handle shell 4 from top to bottom on the outer ring 1, a first inclined surface 18 is provided on the recessed area 17, and a second inclined surface 19 is provided on the front end of the locking part 15. In use, when the locking part 15 is placed in the slide groove 6, the second inclined surface 19 of the locking part 15 first contacts the first inclined surface 18, which can gently compress the locking part 15 and reduce jamming.

[0037] Preferably, the outer ring 1 is provided with textures to improve friction.

[0038] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
