Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a replaceable rocker module with magnetic adsorption and electrical connection functions. Background Technology

[0002] A joystick module is an input device used to detect and transmit joystick position information and related button operation signals. A joystick is a manual input device used to precisely control the direction, position and motion state of an object in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. Through the operator's physical actions such as tilting, pressing or rotating the joystick, mechanical displacement is converted into electronic signals, thereby realizing the control of the target device or system. It is widely used in many fields such as consumer electronics, industrial control, and aerospace.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following drawbacks often exist: Traditional integrated fixed-structure joystick modules cannot achieve individual replacement of the joystick body. When the joystick wears out, the feel deteriorates, or the user needs to replace it with a different specification joystick according to different usage scenarios, the entire joystick module must be replaced, which not only increases the user's usage cost but also wastes resources. On the other hand, some replaceable joystick modules that adopt traditional mechanical connection structures require precise alignment during assembly. For example, screw locking structures require manual alignment of screw holes and the use of tools to complete the fixing, while snap-fit ​​structures require overcoming a large locking force and accurately finding the locking position. The operation process is cumbersome and the alignment is difficult. Especially for non-professional users, the assembly time is long, which greatly reduces the convenience of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that the traditional integrated fixed structure of the joystick module cannot replace the joystick body alone, and the whole unit needs to be replaced, which increases the cost and wastes resources. On the other hand, some traditional mechanical connection structure replaceable joystick modules require precise alignment during assembly, which is cumbersome, difficult and has low convenience of use. To this end, we propose a replaceable joystick module with magnetic adsorption and electrical connection functions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a replaceable rocker module with magnetic adsorption and electrical connection functions, comprising a controller and a rocker body: a groove is formed on the surface of the controller, a magnetic rod is fixedly connected in the groove, a circular groove is formed on the bottom surface of the rocker body, the circular groove is slidably connected to the magnetic rod, a magnetic sheet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove, the magnetic sheet is attracted to the magnetic rod, a fixing rod is slidably inserted into the rocker body, a fixing groove is formed on the arc surface of the magnetic rod, the inner wall of the fixing groove is slidably connected to the fixing rod, and a pull plate is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing rod.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the magnetic rod is electrically connected to a conductive metal contact, which is attracted to the magnetic sheet.

[0007] Preferably, a spring is fitted onto the arc surface of the fixing rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the pull plate and the rocker body, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the front end of the fixing rod is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped surface of the front end of the fixing rod is slidably connected to the fixing groove.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the circular groove has two limiting grooves, and the arc surface of the magnetic suction rod is fixedly connected to two limiting plates, which are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0010] Preferably, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the spherical surface of the rocker body, and the anti-slip pad is made of rubber.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention achieves a magnetic attraction structure between the magnetic rod in the controller's groove and the magnetic sheet in the circular groove on the bottom of the joystick body. This eliminates the need for complex alignment operations when assembling the joystick body and the controller; they can be quickly attracted and positioned using only magnetic attraction. Furthermore, once the joystick body is magnetically attracted to the controller, the pull plate can be pushed to slide the fixing rod into the fixing groove of the magnetic rod, creating a double-fixing effect. Disassembly is also simple: just pull the fixing rod out of the fixing groove and apply a slight external force to separate them. This greatly simplifies the joystick assembly and disassembly process, making it especially suitable for users who need to quickly replace different joysticks, thus improving ease of use.

[0021] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a replaceable rocker module with magnetic adsorption and electrical connection functions, including a controller 1 and a rocker body 2: a groove is formed on the surface of the controller 1, and a magnetic rod 3 is fixedly connected in the groove; a circular groove 4 is formed on the bottom surface of the rocker body 2, and the circular groove 4 is slidably connected to the magnetic rod 3; a magnetic sheet 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 4, and the magnetic sheet 5 is attracted to the magnetic rod 3; a fixing rod 6 is slidably inserted into the rocker body 2; a fixing groove 9 is formed on the arc surface of the magnetic rod 3, and the inner wall of the fixing groove 9 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 6; a pull plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing rod 6, achieving the function of controlling... The magnetic attraction structure of the magnetic rod 3 in the groove of the controller 1 and the magnetic piece 5 in the circular groove 4 on the bottom of the joystick body 2 allows the assembly of the joystick body 2 and the controller 1 to be quick and easy without complicated alignment operations. It can be quickly attracted and positioned by magnetic attraction. At the same time, after the joystick body 2 is attracted and positioned by the controller 1, the pull plate 7 can be pushed to make the fixing rod 6 slide into the fixing groove 9 of the magnetic rod 3, forming a double fixing effect. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull the fixing rod 6 out of the fixing groove 9 and apply a slight external force to separate it. This greatly simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the joystick and is especially suitable for users to quickly operate when they need to replace different joysticks, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0023] Reference Figure 5As shown in this embodiment, one end of the magnetic rod 3 is electrically connected to a conductive metal contact 10. The conductive metal contact 10 is attracted to the magnetic sheet 5. By setting the conductive metal contact 10, when the joystick body 2 completes magnetic positioning, the conductive metal contact 10 can simultaneously and tightly fit with the magnetic sheet 5 without the need for additional circuit alignment or plugging / unplugging operations. This design integrates mechanical adsorption and electrical signal transmission functions into one step, completely avoiding the cumbersome process of "fixing the structure first and then connecting the circuit" in traditional separate connections. This allows users to quickly complete physical assembly and simultaneously ensure electrical connection continuity when replacing the joystick, further improving overall operational efficiency and convenience.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment: the arc surface of the fixing rod 6 is fitted with a spring 8. The two ends of the spring 8 are fixedly connected to the pull plate 7 and the rocker body 2, respectively. Under the action of the spring 8, when the user needs to assemble and fix the rocker body 2 with the controller 1, it is not necessary to manually push the pull plate 7 to make the fixing rod 6 slide into the fixing groove 9 of the magnetic rod 3. After the rocker body 2 is initially attracted and positioned by the magnetic force and the magnetic rod 3, the pull plate 7 that was previously pulled for disassembly is released. The spring 8 will automatically rebound by its own elastic potential energy, driving the pull plate 7 and the fixing rod 6 to slide towards the magnetic rod 3 until the fixing rod 6 is accurately embedded in the fixing groove 9 to complete the locking. This automatic reset function eliminates the step of manually aligning and pushing the fixing rod 6, making the whole assembly and locking process smoother.

[0025] Reference Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment: the front end of the fixing rod 6 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped surface of the front end of the fixing rod 6 is slidably connected to the fixing groove 9. The arc-shaped surface can play a guiding and adapting role in the process of the fixing rod 6 being embedded into the fixing groove 9 through its own rounded contour characteristics. Even if there is a slight alignment deviation between the fixing rod 6 and the fixing groove 9, the arc-shaped surface can automatically correct its position through sliding contact, avoiding the jamming problem that is easily caused by right angle or angular structures.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: the inner wall of the circular groove 4 has two limiting grooves 11, and the arc surface of the magnetic rod 3 is fixedly connected to two limiting plates 12. The limiting plates 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 11, which provides a guide track for the assembly of the rocker body 2 and the magnetic rod 3. This design can effectively avoid the rotational misalignment of the rocker body 2 caused by user operation deviation, and ensure that the control direction of the rocker and the electrical contact point are accurately aligned each time they are assembled, without the need for repeated adjustments by the user, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: an anti-slip pad 13 is fixedly connected to the spherical surface of the joystick body 2. The anti-slip pad 13 is made of rubber. By setting the anti-slip pad 13, the friction between the user's fingers and the contact surface of the joystick can be greatly enhanced. When the user operates the joystick, the anti-slip pad 13 can effectively prevent the fingers from slipping due to sweaty palms or hand slippage, allowing the fingers to fit more firmly against the joystick surface and significantly improving the overall operating feel.

[0028] Working principle: When assembling the joystick body 2 with the controller 1, first align the circular groove 4 on the bottom surface of the joystick body 2 with the magnetic rod 3 in the groove of the controller 1. The magnetic sheet 5 on the inner wall of the circular groove 4 and the magnetic rod 3 generate an attraction force through magnetic attraction, guiding the circular groove 4 to slide along the magnetic rod 3. At the same time, the two limiting grooves 11 on the inner wall of the circular groove 4 correspond precisely to the two limiting plates 12 on the arc surface of the magnetic rod 3. The limiting plates 12 slide along the limiting grooves 11, preventing the joystick body 2 from rotating and misaligning during assembly, thus achieving the initial positioning and orientation correction of the joystick body 2 and the controller 1. To ensure the accuracy of subsequent structural fixing and electrical connections, after initial positioning, the spring 8 sleeved on the arc surface of the fixing rod 6 comes into play: the two ends of the spring 8 are fixed to the pull plate 7 and the rocker body 2 respectively. In its natural state, the spring 8 pushes the pull plate 7 with its own elastic potential energy, causing the fixing rod 6 to slide towards the magnetic suction rod 3 until the front end of the fixing rod 6 slides into the fixing groove 9 on the arc surface of the magnetic suction rod 3. Since the front end of the fixing rod 6 is arc-shaped, the arc surface makes smooth contact with the inner wall of the fixing groove 9, which reduces the sliding resistance and ensures the accuracy of the fixing rod 6 through the arc guide. The rocker arm is quasi-embedded in the fixing groove 9, forming a dual fixing structure of magnetic positioning and mechanical engagement. This completely limits the radial displacement and risk of detachment of the rocker arm body 2, ensuring the structural stability of the rocker arm during use. Simultaneously, as the magnetic rod 3 and magnetic plate 5 are attracted, the conductive metal contact 10, electrically connected to one end of the magnetic rod 3, is tightly attached to the magnetic plate 5. The magnetic force provides continuous and stable contact pressure, ensuring no gaps between the conductive metal contact 10 and the magnetic plate 5, forming a good electrical connection path. At this time, the operation signal of the rocker arm body 2 can be transmitted to the conductive contact 5 through the magnetic plate 5. The metal contact 10 is then transmitted to the main board of the controller 1 via the magnetic rod 3, realizing the signal communication between the joystick operation and the controller 1. When the user operates the joystick, the rubber anti-slip pad 13 fixed on the spherical surface of the joystick body 2 plays a role: the high friction coefficient of the rubber material can enhance the friction between the fingers and the ball surface of the joystick, avoiding slippage caused by sweaty palms or hand slippage. When the joystick body 2 needs to be replaced, the pull plate 7 is pulled away from the joystick body 2. The pull plate 7 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 8 and drives the fixing rod 6 to slide out of the fixing groove 9, releasing the mechanical fixing restriction.At this point, applying a slight external force is sufficient to separate the joystick body 2 from the controller 1, disengage the circular groove 4 from the magnetic rod 3, and allow the limiting plate 12 to slide along the limiting groove 11 until it disengages. The conductive metal contact 10 also separates from the magnetic sheet 5, breaking the electrical connection. The entire disassembly process requires no complex tools and is convenient to operate, enabling rapid replacement of the joystick body 2 and meeting the user's need to replace different joysticks according to usage requirements. In summary, this achieves the desired result through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic rod 3 in the groove of the controller 1 and the magnetic sheet 5 in the circular groove 4 on the bottom surface of the joystick body 2. The design eliminates the need for complex alignment when assembling the joystick body 2 and controller 1; they can be quickly and easily positioned using magnetic attraction. Once the joystick body 2 is magnetically attached to the controller 1, the pull plate 7 can be pushed to slide the fixing rod 6 into the fixing groove 9 of the magnetic rod 3, creating a double-fixed effect. Disassembly is also simple: just pull the fixing rod 6 out of the fixing groove 9 and apply slight external force to separate it. This greatly simplifies the joystick assembly and disassembly process, making it especially suitable for users who need to quickly replace different joysticks, thus improving ease of use.
