Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gaming peripheral device technology, specifically a gaming steering wheel with adjustable rotation angle. Background Technology

[0002] A game steering wheel is an input device designed specifically for driving simulation games. It provides players with a control experience close to real driving through physical rotation, force feedback, and button control. It is often used in racing games, flight simulators, and other similar games.

[0003] Different types of games have different requirements for the steering wheel rotation range. For example, some games that require high steering precision and small rotation range need the steering wheel to be able to rotate only slightly, while games that require large-angle steering, such as off-road racing, require the steering wheel to be able to rotate significantly.

[0004] However, traditional game steering wheels often lack the ability to flexibly adjust the rotation angle. If players want to obtain a suitable control experience for different types of games, they usually need to replace them with devices that have different rotation ranges. This process is not only cumbersome and increases the economic cost for players, but also reduces the convenience and versatility of the devices. It cannot meet the needs of players to quickly adjust the steering wheel rotation angle according to the characteristics of different games, thus affecting the overall gaming experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a game steering wheel with an adjustable rotation angle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable-angle gaming steering wheel includes a main body and a connecting assembly. A centering ring is fixedly connected to the main body. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the main body near the connecting assembly, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly also includes an adjustment component for adjusting the rotation angle of the main body, and a switching component for adjusting the rotation angle of the main body.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting box, an adjustment cavity is provided in the connecting box, the switching assembly is disposed in the adjustment cavity, a synchronizing rod is rotatably connected in the adjustment cavity of the connecting box, one end of the synchronizing rod near the main body of the game steering wheel is fixed to the connecting rod, a sensing plate is also fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting box away from the main body of the game steering wheel, the other end of the synchronizing rod is rotatably connected to the sensing plate, and a torsion spring is also sleeved between the synchronizing rod and the sensing plate, the signal output end of the sensing plate is connected to an external game console.

[0009] Preferably, two sets of limiting blocks are symmetrically arranged on the arc surface of the connecting box. Both sets of limiting blocks are located inside the switching component. The switching component is slidably connected to the adjustment cavity in the connecting box, and the top of the switching component is connected to the adjustment component.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment plate and an adjustment rod. The adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting box near the main body of the game steering wheel. The connecting box has a rotation groove. The adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the rotation groove, and the end of the adjustment rod near the adjustment plate is fixed to the adjustment plate. The end of the adjustment rod away from the adjustment plate is fixedly connected to an adjustment cylinder. The arc surface of the adjustment cylinder has an adjustment groove. The top of the switching assembly is slidably connected to the adjustment groove.

[0011] Preferably, the switching assembly includes a switching cylinder, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the synchronizing rod and slidably disposed in the adjusting cavity inside the connecting box. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the switching cylinder, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate. The sliding rod is slidably connected in the adjusting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the switching cylinder is further provided with a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove that are adapted to the upper limit block of the synchronizing rod, and the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are connected to each other.

[0013] Preferably, a positioning plate is slidably connected between the adjusting plate and the adjusting rod, and a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate near the connecting box. The connecting box has two sets of positioning grooves that are adapted to the positioning rods, and the two sets of positioning grooves are located on both sides of the rotating groove.

[0014] A return spring is also fixedly connected between the positioning plate and the adjusting plate, and the return spring is sleeved on the adjusting rod between the positioning plate and the adjusting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The most prominent advantage of this utility model is that the rotation angle can be flexibly adjusted. The adjustment process is simple and convenient. First, straighten the steering wheel, pull the positioning plate to pull the positioning rod out of the positioning slot, rotate the adjustment plate and the positioning plate, and drive the adjustment cylinder to rotate through the adjustment rod, thereby pushing the switching cylinder to move. When the positioning rod rotates to another positioning slot position, release the positioning plate. Under the action of the return spring, the positioning rod is inserted into the adjacent positioning slot and fixed. The switching cylinder also moves into place.

[0017] When the switching cylinder moves, the positions of the first and second limit slides switch, thereby controlling the rotation amplitude of the game steering wheel. When the first limit slide is switched to the limit block position, the synchronous rod drives the limit block to rotate, which is limited by its inner wall, and the steering wheel can only rotate a small range. This is suitable for games that require high steering precision and small rotation amplitude. When the second limit slide is switched to the limit block position, it does not obstruct the limit block, and the steering wheel can rotate a large range, meeting the needs of games such as off-road racing that require large-angle steering. This adjustability allows players to quickly adjust the rotation angle of the steering wheel according to the characteristics of different types of games without changing equipment, greatly improving the versatility and practicality of the equipment and bringing players a richer and better gaming experience.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, when the game steering wheel body drives the synchronous rod to rotate, the synchronous rod will cause the torsion spring to contract and store force. When the player releases the return positioning ring, the rebound force of the torsion spring will drive the game steering wheel body to automatically reset. This design eliminates the trouble of the player manually returning the steering wheel to its original position, making the operation more convenient and smooth. Especially in racing games that require frequent direction adjustments, it allows players to focus more on the game itself and improves the continuity and comfort of the game experience.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-7 A game steering wheel with adjustable rotation angle includes a game steering wheel body 1 and a connecting component 2. A return positioning ring 11 is fixedly connected to the game steering wheel body 1. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the game steering wheel body 1 near the connecting component 2. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the connecting component 2. The connecting component 2 is also provided with an adjustment component 3 for adjusting the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1. The connecting component 2 is also provided with a switching component 4 for adjusting the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1 by the auxiliary adjustment component 3.

[0029] In use, first connect component 2 to the external game console, start the game console, and adjust the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1 according to the game type by adjusting component 3 and switching component 4. When playing racing games, increase the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1 by adjusting component 3 and switching component 4 to simulate the control of a real steering wheel. When playing small-scale dodging games, decrease the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1 by adjusting component 3 and switching component 4. By adjusting component 3 and switching component 4, the game steering wheel body 1 can be adjusted according to the game type, bringing users a more realistic gaming experience.

[0030] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-7The connecting component 2 includes a connecting box 21, which has an adjustment cavity. The switching component 4 is located in the adjustment cavity. A synchronizing rod 22 is rotatably connected in the adjustment cavity of the connecting box 21. One end of the synchronizing rod 22 near the main body 1 of the game steering wheel is fixed to the connecting rod 12. A sensing plate 23 is also fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting box 21 away from the main body 1 of the game steering wheel. The other end of the synchronizing rod 22 is rotatably connected to the sensing plate 23. A torsion spring 24 is also sleeved between the synchronizing rod 22 and the sensing plate 23. The signal output end of the sensing plate 23 is connected to an external game machine. Two sets of limiting blocks 25 are symmetrically arranged on the arc surface of the connecting box 21. Both sets of limiting blocks 25 are located in the switching component 4. The switching component 4 is slidably connected in the adjustment cavity of the connecting box 21. The top of the switching component 4 is connected to the adjusting component 3.

[0031] When in use, first connect the sensor 23 to the external game console via the external connection cable. When the device is powered on and the game starts, rotate the game steering wheel body 1. The game steering wheel body 1 drives the synchronous rod 22 to rotate via the connecting rod 12. The sensor 23 senses the rotation of the synchronous rod 22 and feeds it back into the game.

[0032] When the game steering wheel body 1 drives the synchronous rod 22 to rotate, the synchronous rod 22 simultaneously drives the torsion spring 24 to contract and store force. When the return positioning ring 11 is released, the game steering wheel body 1 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the rebound force of the torsion spring 24.

[0033] Example 3, please refer to Figure 1-7The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment plate 31 and an adjustment rod 32. The adjustment plate 31 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting box 21 near the main body 1 of the game steering wheel. The connecting box 21 has a rotating groove 26. The adjustment rod 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 26, and the end of the adjustment rod 32 near the adjustment plate 31 is fixed to the adjustment plate 31. The end of the adjustment rod 32 away from the adjustment plate 31 is fixedly connected to an adjustment cylinder 33. An adjustment groove 34 is formed on the arc surface of the adjustment cylinder 33. The top of the switching assembly 4 is slidably connected to the adjustment groove 34. The switching assembly 4 includes a switching cylinder 41, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the synchronizing rod 22 and slidably disposed in the adjustment cavity inside the connecting box 21. A fixing plate 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the switching cylinder 41. A sliding rod 43 is fixedly connected to the adjusting groove 34. The inner wall of the switching cylinder 41 is also provided with a first limiting groove 44 and a second limiting groove 45 that are adapted to the upper limit block 25 of the synchronizing rod 22. The first limiting groove 44 and the second limiting groove 45 are connected. A positioning plate 35 is also slidably connected between the adjusting plate 31 and the adjusting rod 32. A positioning rod 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate 35 near the connecting box 21. Two sets of positioning grooves 27 adapted to the positioning rod 36 are provided on the connecting box 21. The two sets of positioning grooves 27 are located on both sides of the rotating groove 26. A return spring 37 is also fixedly connected between the positioning plate 35 and the adjusting plate 31. The return spring 37 is sleeved on the adjusting rod 32 between the positioning plate 35 and the adjusting plate 31.

[0034] When the game steering wheel body 1 drives the synchronous rod 22 to rotate via the connecting rod 12, the limiting block 25 on the synchronous rod 22 rotates simultaneously within the first limiting groove 44 or the second limiting groove 45 in the switching cylinder 41. When it is necessary to adjust the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1, first, after ensuring that the game steering wheel body 1 is in the centered state via the return positioning ring 11 on the game steering wheel body 1, pull the positioning plate 35 to slide it towards the adjustment plate 31, so that the positioning rod 36 on the positioning plate 35 is pulled out from the positioning groove 27. After the positioning rod 36 is pulled out, rotate the adjustment plate 31 and the positioning plate 35. The adjustment plate 31 drives the adjustment cylinder 33 to rotate via the adjustment rod 32. The adjustment groove 34 on the adjustment cylinder 33 pushes the sliding rod 43 at the top of the switching cylinder 41 to move. The sliding rod 43 drives the switching cylinder 41 to move via the fixing plate 42.

[0035] When the adjusting plate 31 and the positioning plate 35 drive the positioning rod 36 to rotate to the position of another positioning groove 27, the positioning plate 35 is released. Under the action of the return spring 37, the positioning plate 35 is reset in the direction away from the adjusting plate 31, so that the positioning rod 36 is inserted into the adjacent positioning groove 27 and fixed. When the adjusting plate 31 drives the adjusting rod 32 and the adjusting cylinder 33 to rotate, the adjusting groove 34 simultaneously pushes the switching cylinder 41 to move into place.

[0036] When the switching cylinder 41 moves, the positions of the first limiting slide 44 and the second limiting slide 45 are switched. When the first limiting slide 44 is switched to the position of the limiting block 25, the synchronizing rod 22 drives the limiting block 25 to rotate. The limiting block 25 is limited by the inner wall of the first limiting slide 44, so that the synchronizing rod 22 can only rotate slightly, and thus the game steering wheel body 1 can only rotate slightly. When the second limiting slide 45 is switched to the position of the limiting block 25, the second limiting slide 45 does not block the limiting block 25, and the rotation range is larger. The position of the switching cylinder 41 can be quickly adjusted by rotating the adjusting plate 31 to adapt to different types of games.

[0037] Meanwhile, to facilitate switching operations, indicator stickers can be affixed to the connection box 21 near the two positioning slots 27 to help users accurately locate the positions of the positioning slots 27.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, first connect the sensor 23 to the external game console via the external connection cable. When the device is powered on and the game starts, rotate the game steering wheel body 1. The game steering wheel body 1 drives the synchronous rod 22 to rotate via the connecting rod 12. The sensor 23 senses the rotation of the synchronous rod 22 and feeds it back to the game. When the game steering wheel body 1 drives the synchronous rod 22 to rotate, the synchronous rod 22 simultaneously drives the torsion spring 24 to contract and store force. When the return positioning ring 11 is released, the game steering wheel body 1 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the rebound force of the torsion spring 24.

[0039] When adjusting the rotation angle of the game steering wheel body 1, first straighten the game steering wheel body 1. After straightening, pull the positioning plate 35 to slide the positioning plate 35 towards the adjustment plate 31, so that the positioning rod 36 on the positioning plate 35 is pulled out from the positioning groove 27. Rotate the adjustment plate 31 and the positioning plate 35. The adjustment plate 31 drives the adjustment cylinder 33 to rotate through the adjustment rod 32. The adjustment groove 34 on the adjustment cylinder 33 pushes the sliding rod 43 at the top of the switching cylinder 41 to move. The sliding rod 43 drives the switching cylinder 41 to move through the fixing plate 42.

[0040] When the adjusting plate 31 and the positioning plate 35 drive the positioning rod 36 to rotate to the position of another positioning groove 27, the positioning plate 35 is released. Under the action of the return spring 37, the positioning plate 35 is reset in the direction away from the adjusting plate 31, so that the positioning rod 36 is inserted into the adjacent positioning groove 27 and fixed. When the adjusting plate 31 drives the adjusting rod 32 and the adjusting cylinder 33 to rotate, the adjusting groove 34 simultaneously pushes the switching cylinder 41 to move into place.

[0041] When the switching cylinder 41 moves, the positions of the first limiting slide 44 and the second limiting slide 45 are switched. When the first limiting slide 44 is switched to the position of the limiting block 25, the synchronizing rod 22 drives the limiting block 25 to rotate. The limiting block 25 is limited by the inner wall of the first limiting slide 44, so that the synchronizing rod 22 can only rotate slightly, and thus the game steering wheel body 1 can only rotate slightly. When the second limiting slide 45 is switched to the position of the limiting block 25, the second limiting slide 45 does not block the limiting block 25, and the rotation range is larger. The position of the switching cylinder 41 can be quickly adjusted by rotating the adjusting plate 31 to adapt to different types of games.

Its structure, principle and control method are known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
