Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handle controller technology, and more specifically, to a handle controller with up and down levers. Background Technology

[0002] With the development and advancement of technology, electric furniture is becoming increasingly popular, bringing numerous conveniences to life. For example, electric height-adjustable desks allow users to raise and lower the desktop via a controller to achieve a comfortable height. However, traditional button-type controllers are inconvenient to operate; users need to carefully read the button labels before operating them, otherwise, operational errors are easily made.

[0003] The problem is that traditional button controllers are not convenient or user-friendly enough, which can lead to user errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention solves the technical problem that traditional button controllers are inconvenient and lack user-friendliness, leading to user errors. This invention uses a toggle lever to trigger the control signal, making the controller more user-friendly, increasing its convenience, and reducing the possibility of user errors.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a handle controller with up and down levers, comprising: a housing with an opening on one side; a circuit board installed inside the housing, and having switch contacts on the circuit board; a silicone pad installed on the side of the circuit board with the switch contacts; and a lever installed inside the housing corresponding to the switch contacts and the silicone pad, with the lever partially protruding from the housing through the opening; wherein, moving the lever compresses the silicone pad, and the lever can press the switch contacts, triggering a control signal; after triggering, the silicone pad can drive the lever back to its original position.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: users can control the device by tossing a lever, improving the intuitiveness and convenience of operation. Furthermore, the lever design effectively enhances the user experience, especially in scenarios requiring frequent operation. The use of a silicone pad allows the lever to not only directly press the switch contacts to trigger the control signal, but also quickly return the lever to its original position after the action, providing a good physical feedback mechanism that allows users to clearly perceive the result of the operation, improving accuracy. Moreover, the silicone pad and circuit board are effectively integrated into the housing, forming a compact structure that occupies little space. This makes the handle controller more flexible in various application scenarios and facilitates integration into various devices.

[0007] In one possible design, the lever includes a rotating body, a pressing part, and a triggering part; the rotating body has pressing parts and triggering parts on both sides; the pressing part is set to correspond to the silicone pad, and the triggering part is set to correspond to the switch contact; driving the rotating body to rotate enables the pressing part to press the silicone pad and the switch contact sequentially or simultaneously.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By incorporating a rotating body, a pressing part, and a triggering part, when the lever is actuated, the rotating body rotates, causing the pressing part to press the silicone pad and the triggering part to activate the switch contacts, thus enhancing the operational flexibility of the device. Simultaneously, the direct compression of the silicone pad by the pressing part improves the stability of the trigger switch; furthermore, the inherent resilience of the silicone pad reduces the probability of false triggering. The clear division of labor—with the pressing part corresponding to the silicone pad and the triggering part corresponding to the switch contacts—allows for more even distribution of force, extending the service life of each component.

[0009] In one possible design, the lever also includes a toggle lever located at the top of the rotating body, protruding from the housing through an opening; wherein, moving the toggle lever enables the rotating body to rotate relative to the silicone pad.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: the lever protrudes from the opening in the housing, allowing users to easily operate it. This enables users to easily control the entire rotating body without directly contacting the interior of the housing, providing a more intuitive and natural operating method. Furthermore, the introduction of the lever allows users to choose light, controlled movements, making operation in confined spaces or at specific angles easier and improving applicability. Simultaneously, the feedback design combining the lever and the silicone pad's rebound provides more noticeable physical feedback, allowing users to better perceive the operation status and reduce misoperation, which is particularly important for applications requiring precise control. In addition, the lever design enhances the user-friendliness and ease of use of the human-computer interface, enabling new users to get started more quickly, thereby improving the overall user experience and enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0011] In one possible design, the lever also includes a blocking part mounted on the rotating body, and / or the blocking part is connected to the pressing part; wherein, when the trigger part presses the switch contact, the blocking part abuts against the housing to limit the rotating body from continuing to rotate.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: the blocking part effectively limits the continued rotation of the rotating body, preventing damage to the switch contacts and circuit board due to forceful operation. This protection mechanism improves equipment safety and avoids potential damage or malfunction. Simultaneously, when the trigger presses the switch contact, the contact between the blocking part and the housing provides clear physical feedback, allowing the user to perceive the completion of the operation. This intuitive feedback enhances the user's sense of control over the product. The blocking part can be linked with the pressing part, restricting the movement of the rotating body while pressing the switch contact. Furthermore, this multi-control strategy enables the controller to achieve more precise functional operation in complex applications.

[0013] In one possible design, the silicone pad has a rotating groove, the rotating body is installed in the rotating groove, and the rotating body can rotate relative to the rotating groove.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: The rotating groove allows the rotating body to rotate flexibly within the groove, reducing friction between the rotating body and the base, thus improving the smoothness and precision of rotation and providing a better user experience. Furthermore, the silicone material has excellent elasticity and shock absorption; placing the rotating body within the rotating groove of the silicone pad effectively reduces vibration and noise during operation, improving user comfort and extending the lifespan of the components. Simultaneously, the rotating groove provides better grip and stability, preventing the rotating body from slipping or falling during operation, achieving precise control of the rotating body.

[0015] In one possible design, the housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing, with the upper housing snapped onto the lower housing, creating an installation space between the two housings.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: The snap-fit ​​design of the upper and lower housings simplifies the overall assembly process, reduces additional fasteners and complex assembly steps, and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the mounting space between the upper and lower housings can accommodate other components, wiring, or modules, making full use of the internal space and increasing design flexibility, thus providing a foundation for integrating more functions. Additionally, the snap-fit ​​structure makes the connection between the upper and lower housings more robust, improving the overall impact resistance and stability of the housing and protecting internal components from external influences.

[0017] In one possible design, an opening is provided on the upper housing, and shaft mounting seats are provided on both ends of the opening near the lower housing; the lever includes a rotating shaft; wherein, when the lever is installed in the installation space, the rotating shaft is movably engaged with the shaft mounting seat.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: The rotating shaft is connected to the shaft mounting base via a movable snap-fit, allowing the lever to move more flexibly, enhancing operational freedom and adapting to different operational needs. The shaft mounting base ensures stable positioning of the rotating shaft, which helps achieve higher motion accuracy, making the lever's movement more precise, thereby improving product performance and reliability. Furthermore, integrating the lever directly with the rotating shaft simplifies the overall structure and optimizes the assembly process, reducing additional connecting parts and lowering production costs. Simultaneously, the movable snap-fit ​​makes the lever's operation smoother, reducing friction and jamming, and improving the user experience. The shaft mounting base also provides additional support, which helps prevent displacement of the lever during use, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the equipment.

[0019] In one possible design, the silicone pad includes a silicone body and protrusions; wherein the silicone body is mounted on the side of the circuit board where the switch contacts are located, and the protrusions are correspondingly located on both sides of the switch contacts.

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: the raised portion provides additional support and pressure, and the rebound of the raised portion after pressing allows the lever to return to its original position more effectively. Furthermore, the raised portion makes the button feedback more pronounced, providing users with better tactile feedback and improving operational comfort and satisfaction. Simultaneously, the silicone body protects the circuit board, thereby increasing the controller's lifespan.

[0021] In one possible design, the silicone body and the protrusion are molded as a single piece.

[0022] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: The one-piece molding eliminates gaps or joints between the silicone body and the raised portion, effectively improving the overall structural strength and stability and preventing partial detachment or wear during use. Simultaneously, the seamless integration of the silicone body and raised portion contributes to a more effective seal, better preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other external factors, thus enhancing product durability. Furthermore, using the same material for one-piece molding ensures consistency in performance between the silicone body and the raised portion, such as elasticity, hardness, and durability, thereby improving overall performance.

[0023] In one possible design, the switch contacts include a first switch contact and a second switch contact, which are used to trigger a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively. The first switch contact and the second switch contact are respectively disposed on both sides of a lever. Moving the lever to press the first switch contact can trigger the first control signal; moving the lever to press the second switch contact can trigger the second control signal.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: By setting first and second switch contacts, two different control signals can be triggered by operating a single lever, which enhances the functionality of the device and simplifies user operation. Furthermore, the lever design allows users to intuitively switch control signals, conforming to ergonomic principles and improving operational convenience and comfort, while reducing the learning curve for users. Simultaneously, since the first and second switch contacts are independent and each triggers the control signal independently, the risk of system failure due to a single switch malfunction is reduced, enhancing system reliability. The lever operation is a mechanical action, providing clear tactile feedback when triggering different switches, offering explicit operational confirmation and reducing the possibility of accidental activation.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a silicone pad 15 covers the side of the circuit board 13 where the switch contact 14 is located, and the silicone pad 15 has a notch at the switch contact 14, not covering the switch contact 14, so that the lever 16 can press the switch contact 14. On the circuit board 13, a switch contact 14 is provided on each side of the lever 16. By moving the lever 16 up or down, different control signals can be triggered. In this embodiment, the controller can be applied to a height-adjustable desk; moving the lever 16 up triggers a rise control signal, raising the desk; moving the lever 16 down triggers a fall control signal, lowering the desk. In other embodiments, the controller can also be used to control other control signals, such as volume adjustment.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the lever 16 includes a rotating body 17, a pressing part 18, and a triggering part 19; the pressing part 18 and the triggering part 19 are provided on both sides of the rotating body 17; wherein the pressing part 18 is provided corresponding to the silicone pad 15, and the triggering part 19 is provided corresponding to the switch contact 14; driving the rotating body 17 to rotate enables the pressing part 18 to sequentially or simultaneously press the silicone pad 15 and the switch contact 14.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, two switch contacts 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating body 17 in the rotation direction, and a pressing part 18 and a trigger part 19 are provided on both sides of the rotating body 17 in the rotation direction. Each side has two pressing parts 18 and one trigger part 19, with the trigger part 19 positioned between the two pressing parts 18. When the rotating body 17 is driven to rotate, causing the pressing parts 18 to press the silicone pad 15 to a certain extent, the trigger part 19 in the middle can press the switch contacts 14, thereby triggering the corresponding control signal. After the pressing operation is completed, the pressing parts 18 on both sides of the trigger part 19 are pushed back to their original positions by the rebound force of the silicone pad 15. The provision of two pressing parts 18 on each side makes the overall movement of the rotating body 17 more stable during pressing or rebounding, thus making the pressing operation more precise.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the lever 16 further includes a lever 20, which is disposed on the top of the rotating body 17 and protrudes from the housing 11 through the opening 12; wherein, moving the lever 20 can cause the rotating body 17 to rotate relative to the silicone pad 15.

The toggle lever 20 protrudes from the top along the radial direction of the rotating body 17, and when the rotating body 17 is installed inside the housing 11, the toggle lever 20 protrudes from the opening 12 at the top of the housing. The user can toggle the toggle lever 20 from outside the housing 11 to rotate it to one side, causing the trigger part 19 to press the switch contact 14 on that side, thereby triggering the corresponding control signal.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the lever 16 further includes a blocking part 21, which is mounted on the rotating body 17 and / or connected to the pressing part 18; wherein, when the trigger part 19 presses the switch contact 14, the blocking part 21 abuts against the housing 11 to limit the rotating body 17 from continuing to rotate.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the blocking part 21 is installed on the rotating body 17 and connected to the pressing part 18. In other embodiments, the blocking part 21 may be installed only on the rotating body 17 and not connected to the pressing part 18; or the blocking part 21 may be connected only to the pressing part 18 and not installed on the rotating body 17. In this embodiment, four blocking parts 21 are provided, two on each side of the rotating body 17, and the two blocking parts 21 on each side are respectively connected to two pressing parts 18. When the user moves the lever 20 to trigger the control signal, the blocking part 21 is exactly abutting against the housing 11 when the triggering part 19 triggers the switch contact 14. This arrangement can prevent the triggering part 19 from continuing to press the switch contact 14 after triggering it, thus preventing damage to the switch contact 14 and the circuit board 13. Furthermore, providing two blocking parts 21 on each side can make the force more balanced when abutting against the housing 11, thereby making the limiting effect more stable.

Furthermore, two switch contacts 14 are provided on both sides of the rotating groove 22. By toggling the toggle lever 20 to rotate the rotating body 17 in different directions within the rotating groove 22, the corresponding switch contacts 14 can be triggered.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 23 and a lower housing 24. When the upper housing 23 is snapped into the lower housing 24, an installation space is formed between the upper housing 23 and the lower housing 24.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top of the upper housing 23 is provided with an opening 12, and the upper housing 23 and the lower housing 24 are snapped together to form an installation space in the middle, which is used to accommodate other components, lines or modules.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the silicone pad 15 includes a silicone body 27 and a protrusion 28; wherein, the silicone body 27 is mounted on the side of the circuit board 13 where the switch contact 14 is provided, and the protrusion 28 is correspondingly disposed on both sides of the switch contact 14.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, four protrusions 28 are provided, respectively disposed on both sides of the rotating groove 22, corresponding to the pressing part 18. No silicone pad 15 is provided at the switch contact 14. When the pressing part 18 presses the protrusions 28 to a certain extent, the trigger part 19 presses the switch contact 14. When the user releases the applied force, the protrusions 28 will recover due to their elasticity, driving the pressing part 18 back to its original position.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, the silicone body 27 and the protrusion 28 are integrally formed.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the silicone body 27 and the protrusion 28 are integrally formed, which can increase the overall strength and stability of the silicone pad 15.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the switch contact 14 includes a first switch contact and a second switch contact, which are used to trigger a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, by rotating the lever 16 in different directions, different switch contacts are triggered, allowing users to switch control signals more intuitively, which is more in line with user operating habits and improves the convenience and comfort of operation. The first control signal can be a desktop raising signal, and the second control signal can be a desktop lowering signal. Furthermore, the first and second control signals can also be signals for controlling other electric furniture.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the toggle lever 16 can also be used in combination with a button; the contacts of the button switch and the switch contacts 14 of the toggle lever 16 are both located on the circuit board 13. Different control signals can be triggered by toggling the toggle lever 20 or pressing the button switch. By combining the toggle lever 16 with the button, users can select different operation methods as needed. This flexibility allows users to choose the appropriate control method in different application scenarios to meet different needs. Placing the toggle lever 16 and the button switch on the same circuit board 13 reduces space occupation in the design, making the overall layout more compact and suitable for use in devices with limited space. Furthermore, the combination of toggling and pressing operation methods provides users with better tactile feedback and intuitive impressions when operating the device, improving the controller's user-friendliness and ease of use.
