Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of control handles, and more specifically, to a visual structure for adjusting the damping of a joystick and a control handle. Background Technology

[0002] As the core interactive device connecting the user and the controlled object, the performance of the control handle directly affects the user experience. Among these, the joystick component for directional control, due to its extremely high usage frequency, has become a key focus of technological optimization. To meet the personalized preferences of different users for feel and resistance, joysticks with adjustable damping have emerged. This function allows users to customize the resistance of the joystick rotation according to specific scenarios or personal habits, thereby achieving a balance between control precision, response speed, and operational comfort. It has become one of the key technologies for enhancing controller differentiation and user experience.

[0003] Existing technology discloses a damped adjustable joystick assembly and a game controller. The adjustment knob is configured to move an adjustment disc closer to or further away from the joystick when rotated, thereby moving an adjustment seat closer to or further away from the joystick. This allows the compression of a first spring, whose two ends respectively abut against the rotating parts of the joystick and the adjustment seat, to be adjusted, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the joystick's damping. However, users can only adjust the joystick's damping blindly by feel, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where users can only blindly adjust the damping effect of the joystick by feel. It provides a visual structure and control handle for adjusting the joystick damping, which provides force feedback to users when adjusting the damping effect and improves the user experience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A visual structure for adjusting the damping of a rocker arm is provided, comprising a rocker arm assembly, an elastic element, a circuit board, and an adjustment component for adjusting the elastic potential energy of the elastic element. The two ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the output end of the adjustment component and the rocker arm assembly. The rocker arm assembly is electrically connected to the circuit board. The structure also includes a Hall element, a magnetic element, and a status indicator device for generating a perceptible prompt signal. The Hall element is disposed on the circuit board, and the magnetic element is disposed on the output end of the adjustment component. The output end of the adjustment component is located between the rocker arm assembly and the circuit board. The magnetic field of the magnetic element acts on the Hall element, and the Hall element is electrically connected to the status indicator device through the circuit board.

[0006] This utility model discloses a visual structure for adjusting the damping of a joystick. When adjusting the damping effect, the length of the elastic element is adjusted by an adjustment component, changing the distance between the output end of the adjustment component and the joystick assembly, thereby changing the distance between the output end of the adjustment component and the circuit board. Since a magnetic component is mounted at the output end of the adjustment component, and a Hall element is mounted on the circuit board, the change in distance between the magnetic component and the Hall element alters the magnetic field strength in the area where the magnetic component acts on the sensing surface of the Hall element. Based on the Hall effect, the Hall element converts this change in magnetic field strength into a corresponding change in output signal. This changing electrical signal is transmitted to the processing circuit on the circuit board. After processing, a drive signal is generated and sent to a status indicator device, which then generates a corresponding perceptible prompt signal. This allows the user to receive force feedback when adjusting the damping effect of the joystick, improving the user experience.

[0007] Furthermore, the vertical projection of the magnetic element onto the sensing surface of the Hall element at least partially overlaps with a region of the sensing surface. This allows the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element to be effectively sensed by the Hall element, thereby obtaining a stable and reliable electrical signal output.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment sleeve and an adjustment ring. The adjustment sleeve is rotatably connected to the circuit board and is fitted over the adjustment ring. The adjustment sleeve is threadedly connected to the adjustment ring, and the adjustment ring is slidably connected to the rocker assembly. The adjustment ring is located between the rocker assembly and the circuit board. Both ends of the elastic element are connected to the adjustment ring and the rocker assembly, respectively. The magnetic element is disposed on the adjustment ring. When adjusting the damping effect of the rocker, rotating the adjustment sleeve causes the adjustment ring to move via the thread. The adjustment ring slides under the constraint of the rocker assembly, thereby adjusting the length of the elastic element. Simultaneously, the adjustment ring drives the magnetic element to move, changing the magnetic field strength acting on the sensing surface of the Hall element.

[0009] Furthermore, the central axis of the magnetic component is collinear with the central axis of the sensing surface of the Hall element. This allows the magnetic field generated by the magnetic component to be effectively sensed by the Hall element, thereby obtaining a stable and reliable electrical signal output.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer side of the adjusting sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture. This anti-slip texture facilitates the user's rotation of the adjusting sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the rocker assembly includes a rocker arm and a rocker arm housing. The rocker arm housing is disposed on the circuit board, and the rocker arm is located inside the rocker arm housing. The rocker arm is electrically connected to the circuit board. Both ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the adjusting ring and the rocker arm. The adjusting ring is slidably connected to the rocker arm housing. When the adjusting sleeve is rotated, the rocker arm housing restricts the movement of the adjusting ring, causing the adjusting ring to only slide, allowing the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element to be effectively sensed by the Hall element.

[0012] Furthermore, the status indication device includes a visual prompting device and / or an auditory prompting device, enabling it to provide visual and / or auditory prompts to the user.

[0013] Furthermore, the visual prompting device includes LED lights and / or a display screen. It can provide prompts to the user through changes in the brightness of the LED lights and / or specific displays on the display screen.

[0014] Furthermore, the auditory prompting device includes a speaker and / or a buzzer. It can prompt the user through voice announcements and / or volume changes via the speaker and / or buzzer.

[0015] This utility model also provides a control handle, including a handle and a rocker damping adjustment visualization structure as described above; the circuit board is installed and connected inside the handle, and the adjustment component and the status indicator device are both installed and connected on the handle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model discloses a visual structure and control handle for adjusting the damping of a joystick. By setting a Hall element, a magnetic component, and a status indicator device, the magnetic field strength of the area where the magnetic component acts on the sensing surface of the Hall element is changed while adjusting the damping effect of the joystick. Based on the Hall effect, the Hall element converts the change in magnetic field strength into a corresponding change in output signal, and the status indicator device generates a corresponding perceptible prompt signal, which facilitates the user to provide force prompts when adjusting the damping effect of the joystick, thereby improving the user experience.

[0017] 2. The present invention provides a visual structure and control handle for adjusting the damping of a rocker arm. When adjusting the damping effect of the rocker arm, the adjusting sleeve is rotated, and the adjusting sleeve drives the adjusting ring to move through the thread. The adjusting ring slides under the constraint of the rocker arm assembly, thereby adjusting the length of the elastic element. At the same time, the adjusting ring drives the magnetic element to move, changing the magnetic field strength acting on the sensing surface of the Hall element.

[0018] 3. The present invention provides a visual structure and control handle for adjusting the damping of a joystick. By setting up a visual prompting device and / or an auditory prompting device, it can provide visual and / or auditory prompts to the user, making it easier for the user to adjust the damping effect of the joystick and improving the user experience.

Therefore, the terms describing positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" and "second," these descriptions are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes option A, option B, or an option that satisfies both A and B.

[0023] Example 1 This embodiment is the first embodiment of a visual structure for adjusting the rocker damping, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the assembly includes a rocker arm assembly 100, an elastic element 200, a circuit board 400, and an adjustment component 300 for adjusting the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 200. Both ends of the elastic element 200 are connected to the output end of the adjustment component 300 and the rocker arm assembly 100, respectively. In this embodiment, the elastic element 200 can be a spring; by adjusting the length of the spring, the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 200 can be adjusted. The rocker arm assembly 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board 400. In this embodiment, when the user manipulates the rocker arm assembly 100, the specific position and state information of the rocker arm assembly 100 can be obtained through a Hall integrated circuit or other means. Detailed explanations of how the rocker arm assembly 100 is installed and rotated, and how the movement of the rocker arm assembly 100 is converted into electrical signals by the circuit board 400 via a Hall integrated circuit, have been disclosed in relevant patent literature and are well known to those skilled in the art; therefore, they will not be repeated here.

[0024] It also includes a Hall element 500, a magnetic element 600, and a status indicator 700 for generating perceptible prompt signals. The Hall element 500 is disposed on the circuit board 400, and the magnetic element 600 is disposed on the output end of the adjustment assembly 300. The output end of the adjustment assembly 300 is located between the rocker assembly 100 and the circuit board 400. The magnetic field of the magnetic element 600 acts on the Hall element 500, and the Hall element 500 is electrically connected to the status indicator 700 through the circuit board 400.

[0025] The vertical projection of the magnetic element 600 onto the sensing surface of the Hall element 500 at least partially overlaps with the area of ​​the sensing surface. This allows the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element 600 to be effectively sensed by the Hall element 500, thereby obtaining a stable and reliable electrical signal output.

[0026] This visualization structure can be set based on existing rocker damping adjustment schemes with minimal modifications to the original structure. When the original rocker assembly 100 obtains its specific position status through the Hall integrated circuit, to avoid magnetic signal interference, the installation positions of the magnetic component 600 and the Hall element 500 should avoid the Hall integrated circuit and magnetic devices in the original structure. Those skilled in the art can fine-tune the positions of the magnetic component 600 and the Hall element 500 according to the actual layout and signal integrity requirements. This adjustment requires no creative effort and will not be elaborated here.

[0027] The working principle of the visual structure for adjusting rocker damping in this embodiment is as follows: When adjusting the damping effect of the joystick, the length of the elastic element 200 is adjusted by adjusting the component 300, changing the distance between the output end of the adjusting component 300 and the joystick assembly 100, thereby changing the distance between the output end of the adjusting component 300 and the circuit board 400. Since the magnetic element 600 is mounted on the output end of the adjusting component 300 and the Hall element 500 is mounted on the circuit board 400, the change in distance between the magnetic element 600 and the Hall element 500 alters the magnetic field strength in the area where the magnetic element 600 acts on the sensing surface of the Hall element 500. The Hall element 500 is based on the Hall effect, which is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here. The Hall element 500 converts this change in magnetic field strength into a corresponding change in output signal. This changing electrical signal is transmitted to the processing circuit on the circuit board 400. After processing, a drive signal is generated and sent to the status indicator 700, thereby enabling the status indicator 700 to generate a corresponding perceptible prompt signal, providing a force indication when the user adjusts the damping effect of the joystick, thus improving the user experience.

[0028] The details of how to convert changes in magnetic field strength into corresponding changes in output signals, how to design processing circuits to process the changing electrical signals, and how to generate drive signals for the status indicator device 700 have been disclosed in relevant patent documents and are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be repeated here.

[0029] Example 2 This embodiment is a second embodiment of a visual structure for adjusting rocker damping. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that, as shown in the example... Figures 1 to 3As shown, the adjustment assembly 300 includes an adjustment sleeve 310 and an adjustment ring 320. The adjustment sleeve 310 is rotatably connected to the circuit board 400 and is fitted over the adjustment ring 320. The adjustment sleeve 310 and the adjustment ring 320 are threaded together, and the outer side of the adjustment sleeve 310 is provided with anti-slip texture 311. The anti-slip texture 311 facilitates the user's rotation of the adjustment sleeve 310. The adjustment ring 320 is slidably connected to the rocker assembly 100 and is located between the rocker assembly 100 and the circuit board 400. The two ends of the elastic element 200 are respectively connected to the adjustment ring 320 and the rocker assembly 100. The magnetic element 600 is disposed on the adjustment ring 320. The central axis of the magnetic element 600 is collinear with the central axis of the sensing surface of the Hall element 500. This allows the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element 600 to be effectively sensed by the Hall element 500, thereby obtaining a stable and reliable electrical signal output.

[0030] The rocker assembly 100 includes a rocker arm 110 and a rocker arm housing 120. The rocker arm housing 120 is mounted on the circuit board 400, and the rocker arm 110 is located inside the rocker arm housing 120. The rocker arm 110 is electrically connected to the circuit board 400. The two ends of the elastic element 200 are respectively connected to the adjusting ring 320 and the rocker arm 110. The adjusting ring 320 is slidably connected to the rocker arm housing 120. When the adjusting sleeve 310 is rotated, the rocker arm housing 120 restricts the movement of the adjusting ring 320, so that the adjusting ring 320 only makes sliding movement, allowing the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element 600 to be effectively sensed by the Hall element 500.

[0031] In this embodiment, the process of adjusting the rocker damping is as follows: like Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the distance between the adjusting ring 320 and the circuit board 400 is the closest, the length of the elastic element 200 is the longest, and the swing force of the rocker arm 110 is the smallest. When it is necessary to increase the swing force, the adjusting sleeve 310 is rotated. The adjusting sleeve 310 drives the adjusting ring 320 to move through the thread. The adjusting ring 320 slides under the restriction of the rocker arm assembly 100, and the adjusting ring 320 moves away from the circuit board 400, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, when the elastic element 200 is compressed, its elastic potential energy increases, and the swing force of the rocker arm 110 increases. Simultaneously, the adjusting ring 320 drives the magnetic element 600 to move, changing the magnetic field strength acting on the sensing surface of the Hall element 500.

[0032] Example 3 This embodiment is a third embodiment of a visual structure for adjusting rocker damping. This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, except that, as shown in the example... Figure 4 As shown, the status indication device 700 includes a visual prompting device 710 and / or an auditory prompting device 720. It can provide visual and / or auditory prompts to the user.

[0033] The visual prompting device 710 includes LED lights and / or a display screen. It can provide prompts to the user through changes in the brightness of the LED lights and / or specific displays on the display screen.

[0034] The auditory prompting device 720 includes a speaker and / or a buzzer. It can prompt the user through voice announcements and / or volume changes via the speaker and / or buzzer.

[0035] In another embodiment, the status indication device 700 may further include a tactile prompting device that prompts the user by changing the frequency of vibration.

[0036] Example 4 This embodiment is a first embodiment of a control handle, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes a handle 800 and the rocker damping adjustment visualization structure provided in Embodiment 3; the circuit board 400 is installed and connected inside the handle 800, and the adjustment component 300 and the status indicator device 700 are both installed and connected on the handle 800.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the status indicator 700 includes an LED light and a speaker. The LED light is located on the handle 800 and can be configured as a light strip; multiple LED lights can be provided. The LED light alerts the user through changes in brightness or color. The speaker is located inside the handle 800, which has honeycomb perforations.

[0038] The working principle of the control handle in this embodiment is as follows: When adjusting the joystick's damping effect, rotating the adjustment sleeve 310 will cause the LED light to change brightness or color, and the speaker will emit a sound indicating the change in volume. This provides users with feedback on the effort required to adjust the joystick's damping effect, enhancing the user experience.
