Abstract

This application provides a force feedback base and a gaming device. The force feedback base includes a housing, a cover, a force feedback assembly, a handle shaft, a support frame, and a protective sleeve. The housing and cover form a receiving space, and the cover has a through hole and an edge for forming the through hole. The force feedback assembly is disposed within the housing. One end of the handle shaft is connected to the force feedback assembly, and the other end extends from the through hole. The support frame is disposed along the edge and surrounds the handle shaft. One end of the protective sleeve adjacent to its edge is supported by the support frame and protrudes upward, while the other end is connected to the handle shaft.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of device simulation technology, and more particularly to a force feedback base and a gaming device. Background Technology

[0002] The control mechanism of a gaming device includes a force feedback base, which is the core component of the control mechanism and is responsible for providing realistic control force feedback, simulating the stick force, control surface drag, and abnormal conditions (such as stall, hydraulic failure, etc.) of an aircraft under different flight conditions. However, existing force feedback bases are prone to wear and tear on the sheath during operation, resulting in a short service life. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a force feedback base and a gaming device, which can reduce wear on the protective sleeve during operation of the force feedback base and increase the service life of the protective sleeve, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a force feedback base, the force feedback base comprising:

[0005] A housing and a cover, the housing and the cover surrounding each other to form a receiving space, the cover having a through hole, the cover including an edge for forming the through hole;

[0006] A force feedback component, wherein the force feedback component is disposed within the receiving space;

[0007] A handle shaft, one end of which is connected to the force feedback assembly, and the other end of which extends out from the through hole;

[0008] A support frame, the support frame being disposed along the edge and surrounding the handle shaft; and,

[0009] The sleeve has one end near the edge supported by the support frame and protruding upwards, and the other end is connected to the handle shaft.

[0010] Therefore, in this application, the support frame is arranged along the edge and surrounds the handle shaft, which can lift one end of the sheath adjacent to the edge upward, preventing one end of the sheath adjacent to the edge from drooping under the action of gravity and directly contacting the force feedback component, causing wear, and improving the service life of the sheath.

[0011] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the support frame includes a mounting portion and a support portion, the mounting portion being fixedly connected to the edge; the support portion extends obliquely upward in a direction from the mounting portion to the center position of the through hole.

[0012] Therefore, in this application, the mounting part can be fixedly connected to the edge, and the support part extends obliquely upward in the direction from the mounting part to the center of the through hole, so as to support one end of the adjacent edge of the sheath upward, thereby preventing the sheath from sagging under the action of gravity and directly contacting the force feedback component, causing wear, and improving the service life of the sheath.

[0013] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the support portion extends obliquely upward in a straight, curved, or stepped shape in the direction from the mounting portion to the center of the through hole.

[0014] Therefore, in this application, the support portion can be selected in various shapes, all of which can achieve the purpose of supporting one end of the sheath.

[0015] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the mounting portion is a circumferential surrounding structure, and the support portion is connected to at least a portion of the circumferential area of ​​the mounting portion.

[0016] Therefore, in this application, the mounting part is a circumferential structure, and the support part is set in sections. Support is provided in several key areas of the sheath that require support, while no support part is set in other areas, which can simplify the structure and thus simplify the processing technology.

[0017] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, when the through hole is a square structure, the mounting part is adapted to be a square circumferential surrounding structure. The mounting part includes a straight section and a corner section, and there are multiple support sections, each of which is located on one of the straight sections of the mounting part.

[0018] Therefore, in this application, the support frame can adapt to the shape of the through hole on the cover. When the through hole on the cover is square, the mounting part on the support frame can be set to square accordingly. The mounting part includes a straight section and a corner section. There are multiple support parts, and each support part is located on one of the straight sections of the mounting part. This can avoid stress concentration at the corner position and simplify the overall processing technology of the support frame.

[0019] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, two adjacent support portions and a corner portion located between two adjacent support portions together form a U-shaped structure, the U-shaped structure having an upward slope in the direction from the corner portion to the center of the through hole.

[0020] Therefore, in this application, a U-shaped structure is formed at each corner of the support frame. The U-shaped structure has an upward slope in the direction from the corner to the center of the through hole, which can play an auxiliary role in supporting the protective sleeve. Moreover, it avoids the formation of local sharp corner structures, preventing sharp corner structures from scratching the protective sleeve, and can play the role of supporting and protecting the protective sleeve.

[0021] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the U-shaped structure is an open structure.

[0022] Therefore, in this application, the U-shaped structure is open, which makes the support frame more rounded and smooth in terms of structure while playing the role of supporting the protective sleeve, thus avoiding the support frame itself from scratching the protective sleeve and further improving the service life of the protective sleeve.

[0023] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, each of the corner portions and the corresponding area of ​​the through hole is an arc-shaped structure with equal curvature.

[0024] Therefore, in this application, each corner section and the corresponding corner section of the through hole are arc-shaped structures with equal curvature. On the one hand, this achieves structural adaptation between each corner section and the corresponding corner section of the through hole. On the other hand, it avoids stress concentration, facilitates processing, improves processing quality, and avoids scratches on the sheath caused by burrs during processing.

[0025] In some possible embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the sheath is a shrinkage structure with the aperture gradually decreasing from bottom to top.

[0026] Therefore, in this application, the protective sleeve is a shrinkage structure with the aperture gradually decreasing from bottom to top, which can connect one end of the protective sleeve to the edge of the cover and the other end to the peripheral wall of the handle shaft, so as to achieve the purpose of protection and dust prevention.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a gaming device, which includes the force feedback base of the first aspect.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the gaming device in the second aspect are the same as those of the force feedback base in the first aspect, and will not be elaborated further. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. The terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," etc., which indicate the orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0044] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can also refer to the internal connection of two components; it can be a communication connection; or it can be an electrical connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the modules of the game device 1000 in this embodiment. The game device 1000 can be a flight simulator, a racing simulator, a tank / armored vehicle simulator, an engineering machinery simulator, a space capsule / spaceship simulator, a ship steering simulator, a medical and surgical simulator, an industrial and robot operation simulator, etc. In this embodiment, the game device 1000 is a flight simulator, including a simulator cockpit 1001, a motion system 1002, a visual system 1003, a computer system 1004, and auxiliary equipment 1005.

[0046] The simulator cockpit 1001 includes control units, instruments, and other equipment. The control units, including the joystick, throttle, rudder pedals, and force feedback base 100, are similar to those of a real aircraft, allowing players to perform takeoff, climb, turn, and landing maneuvers, simulating realistic flight control. The force feedback base 100 is the core component of the control unit, responsible for providing realistic control force feedback, simulating stick force, control surface drag, and abnormal conditions (such as stall, hydraulic failure, etc.) under different flight conditions. Instruments include an airspeed indicator, altimeter, localizer, attitude indicator, turn coordination indicator, and vertical speedometer, displaying information such as flight speed, altitude, direction, and attitude to help players understand the aircraft's flight status. Other equipment includes a seat and control panel. The seat is adjustable to simulate the physical sensations under different flight attitudes, and the control panel is used to control various flight systems and equipment.

[0047] The motion system 1002 includes a drive unit. The drive unit uses a hydraulic servo actuator or an electric actuator. By controlling the extension and retraction of the actuator, it drives the simulated cockpit 1001 to move, achieving 3-DOF or 6-DOF motion, allowing the player's body to feel the aircraft's movement changes. The 3-DOF includes pitch, roll, and yaw, enabling pitch, roll, and yaw movements, allowing the player to feel the aircraft's pitch, roll, and yaw. The 6-DOF, in addition to the 3-DOF, adds linear displacement in the forward, backward, left, right, and up / down directions, more realistically simulating various aircraft motion states in the air.

[0048] The visual system 1003 includes image generation and display devices. Image generation utilizes computer graphics technology to generate realistic 3D scenes and images based on calculations from flight simulation software. These include terrain, buildings, clouds, weather effects, and can simulate different weather conditions such as day / night cycles, sunny days, rainy days, and foggy days. Display devices include projectors, large-screen displays, or VR (Virtual Reality) headsets to display the generated images, providing players with a wide field of view and showcasing the external scenery of the aircraft, such as airports, runways, cities, mountains, and oceans, making players feel as if they are in a realistic flight environment.

[0049] Computer system 1004 includes hardware and flight simulation software. The hardware includes one or more high-performance computers to meet the operational requirements of the flight simulation software, processing large amounts of flight data and handling graphics rendering tasks. The flight simulation software contains mathematical models, aerodynamic models, and flight control system models of the aircraft. Based on the player's actions and flight status, it calculates the aircraft's trajectory, attitude changes, instrument data, etc., in real time and feeds the results back to other systems, achieving real-time performance and accuracy in flight simulation.

[0050] Auxiliary equipment 1005 includes an audio system and a lighting system. The audio system includes speakers or headphones that play sounds such as the roar of the aircraft engine, wind noise, landing gear retraction and extension sounds, and communication sounds, enhancing the realism and immersion of the flight and making the player feel more present. The lighting system simulates the lighting effects inside the aircraft cockpit, such as instrument lights, cabin lighting, and signal lights, as well as external airport lights and runway lights. It adjusts according to flight status and environmental changes, providing the player with a more realistic visual experience.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the force feedback base 100 according to an embodiment of this application. For ease of description, the following definitions are used. Figure 2 The front-to-back direction of the force feedback base 100 shown is the Y-axis direction, i.e., the thickness direction and the front-to-back direction, defined as follows: Figure 2 The left and right directions of the force feedback base 100 shown are the X-axis directions, i.e., the length direction and the horizontal direction, defined as follows: Figure 2 The height direction of the force feedback base 100 shown is the Z-axis direction, vertical direction. The directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," and "right" used in the description of the force feedback base 100 in this application are based on the accompanying drawings. Figure 2The description of the orientation shown, with the positive direction of the Z-axis as "top", the negative direction of the Z-axis as "bottom", the negative direction of the X-axis as "left", the positive direction of the X-axis as "right", the negative direction of the Y-axis as "back", and the positive direction of the Y-axis as "front", does not constitute a limitation on the force feedback base 100 in actual application scenarios.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The exploded diagram.

[0053] The force feedback base 100 includes:

[0054] The housing 10 and the cover 20 surround to form a receiving space 30. The cover 20 has a through hole 21 and includes an edge 22 for forming the through hole 21.

[0055] Force feedback component 40, which is disposed within the receiving space 30;

[0056] The handle shaft 50 has one end connected to the force feedback assembly 40 and the other end extending from the through hole 21.

[0057] Support frame 60, which is provided along edge 22 and surrounds handle shaft 50;

[0058] The sheath 70 has one end supported by the support frame 60 and protruding upwards, and the other end is connected to the handle shaft 50.

[0059] Therefore, in this application, the support frame 60 is arranged along the edge 22 and surrounds the handle shaft 50, which can lift one end of the adjacent edge 22 of the sheath 70 upward, preventing one end of the adjacent edge 22 of the sheath 70 from drooping under the action of gravity and directly contacting the force feedback component 40, causing wear, and improving the service life of the sheath 70.

[0060] The force feedback component 40 is used to drive the handle shaft 50 to swing in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, thereby providing force feedback to the handle shaft 50. It is understood that the force feedback component 40 may include a drive motor and transmission component in the X-axis direction, a drive motor and transmission component in the Y-axis direction, and an adapter connecting the transmission component in the X-axis direction and the drive motor in the Y-axis direction. The handle shaft 50 may be located on the transmission component in the Y-axis direction. In other embodiments, the force feedback component 40 may include a drive motor and transmission component in the Y-axis direction, a drive motor and transmission component in the X-axis direction, and an adapter connecting the transmission component in the Y-axis direction and the drive motor in the X-axis direction. The handle shaft 50 may be located on the transmission component in the X-axis direction.

[0061] Therefore, in this application, force feedback component 40 can be used to provide force feedback to the handle axis 50, thereby giving the player a simulated real operating feel.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sheath 70 is made of a flexible material (e.g., leather) that deforms under gravity or external force. It can shield and protect the through hole 21 of the cover 20, preventing the operator's or other personnel's hands from reaching into the receiving space 30 through the through hole 21 and being injured by the force feedback component 40. It also prevents debris, dust, etc. from falling into the receiving space 30 through the through hole 21 and affecting the working performance of the force feedback component 40.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the support frame 60 in the middle. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the cover 20, support frame 60 and protective sleeve 70 in the embodiments of this application.

[0064] In some embodiments, the support frame 60 includes a mounting portion 61 and a support portion 62, wherein the mounting portion 61 is fixedly connected to the edge 22, and the support portion 62 extends obliquely upward in a direction from the mounting portion 61 to the center of the through hole 21.

[0065] Therefore, in this application, the mounting part 61 can be fixedly connected to the edge 22. In the direction from the mounting part 61 to the center position of the through hole 21, the support part 62 extends obliquely upward, which serves to support one end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the edge 22 upward, preventing the sheath 70 from sagging under the action of gravity and directly contacting the force feedback component 40, causing wear, and improving the service life of the sheath 70.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting portion 61 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 610 spaced apart. The force feedback base 100 also includes a plurality of first connectors 80. Preferably, the first connectors 80 are threaded connectors. The first connectors 80 are used to pass through the first mounting holes 610 to mount the support frame 60 onto the edge 22. In this embodiment, the first connectors 80 are used to pass through the first mounting holes 610 to mount the support frame 60 onto the lower surface of the edge 22. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first connectors 80 are used to pass through the first mounting holes 610 to mount the support frame 60 onto the upper surface of the edge 22.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the cover 20 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 201, and the force feedback base 100 also includes a plurality of second connectors 90. Preferably, the second connectors 90 are threaded connectors, and the second connectors 90 are used to pass through the second mounting holes 201 to install the cover 20 onto the side wall of the housing 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, one end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the edge 22 can be directly fixed to the support 62, or fixed between the edge 22 of the cover 20 for forming the through hole 21 and the mounting portion 61 of the support frame 60, or directly fixed to the side of the edge 22 of the cover 20 for forming the through hole 21 away from the mounting portion 61 of the support frame 60, which is not limited here.

[0069] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 61 is a circumferential surrounding structure.

[0070] In other embodiments, the mounting portion 61 may be a segmented, combined ring structure. For example, the mounting portion 61 may be composed of multiple arc-shaped segments and / or multiple straight segments spliced ​​together.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the direction from the mounting part 61 to the center of the through hole 21, the support part 62 extends upward in a straight plate shape, a curved shape, or a stepped shape.

[0072] Therefore, in this application, the support part 62 can be selected to have various shapes, as long as the overall extension trend is to extend upward from the mounting part 61 towards the center position near the through hole 21, it can achieve the purpose of supporting one end of the sheath 70.

[0073] In some embodiments, the support portion 62 is connected to at least a portion of the circumferential region of the mounting portion 61.

[0074] Therefore, in this application, the support part 62 is set in segments, providing support in several key areas of the sheath 70 that require support, while not setting the support part 62 in other areas, which can simplify the structure and thus simplify the processing technology.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the through hole 21 is a square structure, the mounting part 61 is adapted to be a square circumferential surrounding structure. The mounting part 61 includes a straight part 611 and a corner part 612. There are multiple support parts 62, and each support part 62 is provided on one of the straight parts 611 of the mounting part 61.

[0076] Therefore, in this application, the mounting part 61 of the support frame 60 can be adapted to the shape of the through hole 21 on the cover 20. When the through hole 21 on the cover 20 is square, the mounting part 61 on the support frame 60 can be set to a square circumferential structure accordingly, and the support part 62 can be segmented on the straight part 611 of the mounting part 61. This can avoid stress concentration at the corner part 612 and simplify the overall processing technology of the support frame 60.

[0077] It is understood that in other embodiments, when the through hole 21 is a polygonal structure, the mounting part 61 is adapted to be a polygonal circumferential surrounding structure. The mounting part 61 includes a straight part 611 and a corner part 612. There are multiple support parts 62, and each support part 62 is provided on one of the straight parts 611 of the mounting part 61.

[0078] It is understood that in some embodiments, when the through hole 21 on the cover 20 is circular, the mounting part 61 is adapted to be a circular circumferential surrounding structure, and the support part 62 can be an annular or segmented structure adapted to the structural shape of the mounting part 61, which is not limited here.

[0079] In some embodiments, two or more support portions 62 may be provided on each straight section 611, which is not limited here.

[0080] In some embodiments, please also refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two adjacent support portions 62 and the corner portion 612 located between the two adjacent support portions 62 together form a U-shaped structure 63, and the U-shaped structure 63 has an upward slope in the direction from the corner portion 612 to the center position of the through hole 21.

[0081] Therefore, in this application, a U-shaped structure 63 is formed at each corner 612 of the support frame 60. The U-shaped structure 63 has an upward slope from the corner 612 towards the center of the support frame 60, which can play an auxiliary role in supporting the sheath 70. Moreover, it avoids the formation of local sharp corner structures and prevents sharp corner structures from scratching the sheath 70. It can play the role of supporting and protecting the sheath 70.

[0082] In some embodiments, the U-shaped structure 63 is an open structure.

[0083] Therefore, in this application, the two sides 621 of the support part 62 are inclined sides, and the opposing sides 621 of two adjacent support parts 62 are not parallel. Thus, the U-shaped structure 63 is open, which makes the support frame 60 more rounded and smooth in terms of structure while playing the role of supporting the sheath 70, avoiding the support frame 60 itself from scratching the sheath 70, and further improving the service life of the sheath 70.

[0084] In some embodiments, please also refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each corner portion 612 and the corresponding area of ​​the through hole 21 are arc-shaped structures with equal curvature.

[0085] Therefore, in this application, the area of ​​each corner portion 612 and the corresponding corner portion 612 of the through hole 21 is an arc-shaped structure with equal curvature. On the one hand, this achieves structural adaptation between each corner portion 612 and the corresponding corner portion 612 of the through hole 21. On the other hand, it avoids stress concentration, facilitates processing, improves processing quality, and avoids scratches on the sheath 70 caused by burrs during processing.

[0086] In some embodiments, the sheath 70 has a shrinkage structure with the aperture gradually decreasing from bottom to top.

[0087] Therefore, in this application, the sheath 70 is a hole-reducing structure with the aperture gradually decreasing from the side close to the cover 20 to the side away from the cover 20. One end of the sheath 70 can be connected to the edge 22 of the cover 20 for forming the through hole 21, and the other end can be connected to the peripheral wall of the handle shaft 50, so as to achieve the purpose of protection and dust prevention.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the force feedback base in the embodiments of this application after removing the side wall of the housing 10; Figure 7 for Figure 6 An enlarged view at point A.

[0089] from Figure 6 and Figure 7 As can be seen, the support frame 60 is located above the force feedback component 40 and between the force feedback component 40 and one end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the through hole 21. The support frame 60 can support one end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the through hole 21, preventing it from drooping due to gravity and contacting components such as the synchronous wheel 41 of the force feedback component 40. The end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the handle shaft 50 is fixedly connected to the handle shaft 50 at a relatively high position, which can be far away from the force feedback component 40. Thus, the structural design of the support frame 60 can improve the service life of the sheath 70.

[0090] In summary, in this application, by supporting one end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the through hole 21 with the support frame 60, the end of the sheath 70 adjacent to the through hole 21 can be prevented from drooping due to gravity and contacting components such as the synchronous wheel of the force feedback component 40, thus protecting the sheath 70. Moreover, the support part 62 of the support frame 60 is relatively smooth and tilted upward, which can maintain surface-to-surface contact with the sheath 70 as much as possible, rather than point-to-surface contact, which can further protect the sheath 70 and extend its service life.

[0091] The above describes the technical solution and related details of this application. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the technical solution of this application, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

Due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above implementation schemes according to their needs to obtain a better application experience.

[0093] In summary, this application possesses the aforementioned superior characteristics, enabling it to achieve unprecedented performance in use and thus become a highly practical product.

[0094] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
