Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of game simulators, and more particularly to a foot pedal mechanism and a game device equipped with the foot pedal mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, foot pedal mechanisms generally include a positioning element, a foot pedal rotatably connected to the positioning element, and a reset structure connected between the positioning element and the foot pedal. When the foot pedal is subjected to pressure from the user, it slides relative to the positioning element, pushing against the reset structure. When the pressure on the foot pedal is released, the reset structure resets, causing the foot pedal to reset as well. However, the reset structure in related technologies is complex, and after repeated use, the reset structure becomes sticky or malfunctions in resetting the foot pedal, resulting in a poorer reset effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foot pedal mechanism and a game device equipped with the foot pedal mechanism.

[0004] This utility model provides a foot pedal mechanism, which includes a positioning component, a rotating component, a rotation assisting component, and an elastic component. The positioning component includes a first connecting portion; the rotating component includes a second connecting portion; the rotation assisting component includes a rotation assisting component disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion; the elastic component connects the positioning component and the rotating component, and the elastic component causes the rotating component and the positioning component to abut against each other; the rotating component rotates relative to the positioning component in a first direction through the rotation assisting component, and the elastic component elastically deforms; the elastic component elastically resets and drives the rotating component to rotate relative to the positioning component in a second direction, until the rotating component automatically resets relative to the positioning component, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0005] This utility model also provides a gaming device, which includes a foot pedal mechanism, a base, and a foot pedal component. The foot pedal mechanism includes a positioning component, a rotating component, a rotation assist component, and an elastic component. The positioning component includes a first connecting portion; the rotating component includes a second connecting portion; the rotation assist component includes a rotation assist component disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion; the elastic component is connected between the positioning component and the rotating component, and the elastic component causes the rotating component and the positioning component to abut against each other; the rotating component rotates relative to the positioning component in a first direction through the rotation assist component, and the elastic component elastically deforms; the elastic component elastically resets and drives the rotating component to rotate relative to the positioning component in a second direction, until the rotating component automatically resets relative to the positioning component, the first direction being opposite to the second direction; the positioning component of the foot pedal mechanism is connected to the base, and the foot pedal component is connected to the rotating component of the foot pedal mechanism.

[0006] In this application, the rotating component of the foot pedal mechanism rotates relative to the positioning component via an auxiliary rotating component, and an elastic component connects the positioning component and the rotating component. The auxiliary rotating component reduces the rotational resistance between the rotating component and the positioning component, and balances the rotation between the rotating component and the positioning component to prevent the rotating component from getting stuck relative to the positioning component, thus ensuring smooth rotation of the rotating component relative to the positioning component. The elastic component enables the rotating component to automatically reset smoothly and flexibly relative to the positioning component, improving the reset effect. Attached Figure Description

[0035] When the foot pedal mechanism 100 is used, the user steps on the foot pedal 80, causing the rotating component 30 to rotate relative to the positioning component 20 in the first direction. The rotating component 30 drives the outer sleeve 413 to rotate relative to the inner sleeve 411. The two second stop portions 33 simultaneously approach the two second stop portions 213, and the first stop portion 32 disengages from the first stop portion 212 until the two second stop portions 33 respectively abut against the two second buffer components 64, so that the rotating component 30 achieves a 20-degree limit relative to the positioning component 20. The two elastic components 50 are further stretched and undergo elastic deformation, that is, the stretching amount of the elastic component 50 increases and the pulling force increases. The magnetic component 70 rotates with the rotating component 30 relative to the positioning component 20, so that the magnetic component 70 gradually moves away from the sensor 73. The rotating component 30 and the magnetic component 70 rotate relative to the sensor 73 at a certain angle. At this time, the sensor 73 senses the change in the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 70, and thus reads the angle change value. The rotation stroke of the rotating component 30 of the foot pedal mechanism 100 relative to the positioning component 20 is 0 degrees to 20 degrees. When the user releases the pedal 80, the two elastic elements 50 elastically reset, driving the rotating element 30 to rotate relative to the positioning element 20 in the second direction. The rotating element 30 automatically resets upon rotation relative to the positioning element 20, and the two first buffer elements 62 abut against the first stop portion 32. The magnetic element 70 rotates with the rotating element 30 relative to the positioning element 20, causing the magnetic element 70 to gradually approach the sensor 73. The rotational stroke of the rotating element 30 of the pedal mechanism 100 relative to the positioning element 20 is 20 degrees to 0 degrees.

[0036] The auxiliary rotating component 41 of the foot pedal mechanism 100 of this application is connected between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20, which can reduce the rotational resistance between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20, and balance the rotation between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20 to prevent the rotating component 30 from getting stuck relative to the positioning component 20, so that the rotating component 30 can rotate smoothly relative to the positioning component 20. Secondly, two elastic components 50 spaced apart from each other are connected between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20. The elastic reset of the two elastic components 50 can drive the rotating component 30 to rotate relative to the positioning component 20 and return to its stable and automatic position. In addition, the foot pedal mechanism 100 has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and has low manufacturing cost.

[0037] like Figure 11 As shown, this application also provides a game device 300, which includes the foot pedal mechanism 100 and the base 330 in the above embodiments. The positioning member 20 of the foot pedal mechanism 100 is connected to the base 330, and the foot pedal member 80 of the foot pedal mechanism 100 is connected to the rotating member 30.

[0038] Since the rotating component 30 of the game device 300 of this application rotates relative to the positioning component 20 through the auxiliary rotating component 41, and the elastic component 50 is connected between the positioning component 20 and the rotating component 30; the auxiliary rotating component 41 can reduce the rotational resistance between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20, and the rotational balance between the rotating component 30 and the positioning component 20, so as to prevent the rotating component 30 from getting stuck relative to the positioning component 20, so that the rotating component 30 rotates smoothly relative to the positioning component 20. The elastic reset of the two elastic components 50 can make the rotating component 30 rotate relative to the positioning component 20 and automatically reset smoothly and flexibly, thus improving the reset effect.
