[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 10 A game controller adapter 10, comprising:

[0033] The main body 1 includes a host connection end 11 and a gamepad connection end 12 arranged opposite to each other. The host connection end 11 is used to detachably connect to the game console 20, and the gamepad connection end 12 is used to detachably connect to the gamepad 30. The host connection end 11 is detachably connected to the game console 20 via a first connecting device 2; the gamepad connection end 12 is detachably connected to the gamepad 30 via a second connecting device 3. Through the above structure, the gamepad 30 is connected and fixed to the gamepad connection end 12 of the main body 1 via the second connecting device 3, and the game console 20 is connected and fixed to the host connection end 11 of the main body 1 via the first connecting device 2. This allows the gamepad 30 to be stably connected to the game console 20, solving the compatibility problem caused by the incompatibility of the connection method or size between the game console 20 and the gamepad 30, and enabling gamepads 30 of different brands and models to be used with the game console 20.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first connecting device 2 includes a magnetic suction member 21 disposed on the host connection end 11, and the game host 20 is provided with a magnetic suction fitting member 22. The magnetic suction member 21 and the magnetic suction fitting member 22 are magnetically connected to each other, so that the main body 1 and the game host 20 can be detachably connected. Specifically, the side of the game host 20 connected to the main body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 201, and the bottom of the receiving groove 201 is embedded with the magnetic suction fitting member 22. The host connection end 11 is provided with a protrusion 7 that cooperates with the receiving groove 201. The protrusion 7 is provided with a second mounting groove 71, and the magnetic suction member 21 is disposed in the second mounting groove 71. The magnetic suction member 21 is a magnet block. There are two magnetic suction members 21. The magnetic suction members 21 are fixedly connected to the host connection end 11 by adhesive. Of course, the number of magnetic suction members 21 can also be three, four, or more.

[0035] With the above structure, when connecting the game console 20 to the main body 1, the initial positioning is achieved by the cooperation of the protrusion 7 and the receiving groove 201, and then the magnetic force of the magnet and the magnetic coupling 22 completes the firm connection between the main body 1 and the game console 20. The magnet is attached to the second mounting groove 71 with strong adhesive to ensure the stability during adsorption. In addition, the cooperation of the protrusion 7 and the receiving groove 201 can also effectively limit the relative position of the main body 1 and the game console 20, avoiding loosening or displacement caused by external force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second connecting device 3 includes a plug-in 31 detachably disposed on the handle connecting end 12. The plug-in 31 has a connecting portion 311, and the game controller 30 has a connecting mating portion 312 that mates with the connecting portion 311. Specifically, the connecting portion 311 is a slide rail 3111 disposed on the plug-in 31, and the connecting mating portion 312 is a slider 3121 disposed on the game controller 30 and matching the slide rail 3111. The handle connecting end 12 is provided with a first mounting groove 121, and a first mounting hole 1211 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting groove 121. The plug-in 31 is provided with a second mounting hole 313 corresponding to the first mounting hole 1211. The screw 4 passes through the second mounting hole 313 and the first mounting hole 1211 in sequence to detachably install the plug-in 31 onto the handle connecting end 12. With the above structure, by using screws 4 to pass through the second mounting hole 313 and the first mounting hole 1211 in sequence, the connector 31 is reliably fixed to the handle connection end 12. When it is necessary to replace the connector 31, only the screws 4 need to be removed to separate and replace the connector 31. Since the connector 31 is detachably connected to the handle connection end 12, the connector 31 forms a modular interface. By replacing the connector 31 with different connection methods, game controllers 30 with different connection methods can be adapted. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the slide rail 3111 of the connector 31 and the slider 3121 of the game controller 30 realizes a stable connection and detachable installation between the game controller 30 and the main body 1. Simply slide the slider 3121 on one side of the game controller 30 along the slide rail 3111 of the connector 31 to quickly position and connect the controller and the main body 1. The operation is simple and efficient, improving the user experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, the peripheral edge 5 of the host connection end 11 is provided. When the main body 1 is connected to the game console 20, the peripheral edge 5 at least partially covers the outer wall of the game console 20. With the above structure, the peripheral edge 5 of the host connection end 11 can cover the outer wall of the game console 20 when the main body 1 is connected to the game console 20, which can effectively protect the edge of the game console 20, and further improve the connection stability between the main body 1 and the game console 20, preventing loosening or detachment due to external forces during use.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main body 1 is provided with a release device 6, which is used to separate the main body 1 from the game console 20.

[0039] Specifically, the release device 6 includes a push rod 61 and a lever 62. The main unit connection end 11 is provided with a first through hole 111, and the main body 1 is provided with a second through hole 13. The lever 62 has an operating end 621 and a driving end 622. The push rod 61 has a force-receiving end 611 and an action end 612. The operating end 621 protrudes outside the main body 1 through the second through hole 13. The middle part of the lever 62 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 through a rotating shaft 623. The driving end 622 abuts against the force-receiving end 611. When the operating end 621 is pressed, the driving end 622 drives the force-receiving end 611 to move axially so that the action end 612 can pass through the first through hole 111 and protrude outside the main unit connection end 11. Furthermore, a limiting wall 112 is provided inside the first through hole 111, and a limiting ring 613 is provided on the push rod 61. The release device 6 also includes a return spring 63, which is sleeved on the push rod 61. One end of the return spring 63 abuts against the limiting wall 112, and the other end abuts against the drive end 622. When the operating end 621 is released, the return spring 63 resets the lever 62. Through the above structure, the lever 62 and the push rod 61 work together to effectively separate the main body 1 from the game console 20 quickly. When the user needs to disassemble, he only needs to press the operating end 621 of the lever 62, which will rotate the drive end 622 to push the push rod 61, so that the working end 612 of the push rod 61 extends out of the host connection end 11, thereby easily releasing the magnetic connection between the main body 1 and the game console 20. The operation is simple. After the operating end 621 is released, the return spring 63 pushes the lever 62 and the push rod 61 back to their original positions, preventing the push rod 61 from remaining in the protruding position and ensuring the reset of the structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, a baffle 123 is provided on the side of the handle connection end 12. When the main body 1 is connected to the game controller 30, the baffle 123 at least partially abuts against the lower side wall of the game controller 30. Through the above structure, the side baffle 123 of the handle connection end 12 can abut against the lower side wall of the game controller 30 when the main body 1 is connected to the game controller 30, thereby limiting and supporting the handle, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the main body 1 and the game controller 30.

[0041] The specific steps for using the game controller adapter 10 in this embodiment are as follows: Before use, the game controller 30 must first be paired and connected to the game console 20 via Bluetooth. Then, the user slides the slider 3121 on one side of the game controller 30 from top to bottom along the slide rail 3111 of the controller connection end 12 of the main body 1 to complete the mating and positioning of the game controller 30 and the main body 1; then, the protrusion 7 of the host connection end 11 of the main body 1 is aligned and inserted into the receiving groove 201 on one side of the game console 20. The magnetic component on the protrusion 7 will automatically engage with the magnetic mating component in the receiving groove 201, thereby completing the connection between the game controller 30 and the game console 20 via the adapter 10.

[0042] When disassembly is required, the user only needs to press the operating end 621 of the lever 62. With the help of the lever 62 driving the push rod 61, the operating end 612 of the push rod 61 can extend out of the host connection end 11, thereby releasing the magnetic connection between the main body 1 and the game host 20. Then, the game controller 30 can be slid upward from the slide rail 3111 to complete the separation of the game controller 30, the adapter 10 and the game host 20.

[0043] When it is necessary to replace the connector 31, the user only needs to unscrew the screw 4 to remove the connector 31 from the handle connection end 12 and replace it with a new connector 31, which is convenient and efficient.

[0044] Since the game console 20 usually has two independent game controllers 30 on the left and right, in actual use, two game controller adapters 10 need to be installed to meet the requirement that the two game controllers 30 can be connected to the game console 20 at the same time.
