Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game console accessories technology, specifically a plug-in grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective case, used to achieve magnetic positioning and multi-position adjustment of the grip on the protective case, adapting to the gripping needs of different users. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the game console market, game console protective cases and grip accessories have emerged, but existing products have obvious shortcomings in terms of grip position adjustment.

[0003] For example, the design patents CN304319157S ("Game Console Controller Cover (Switch Controller Cover)"), CN307042651S ("Game Console Grip Shell (Switch Controller Shell)"), CN307208012S ("Game Console Grip Protective Cover (Switch OLED Grip Shell)"), CN219462480U ("A Handheld Game Controller"), and CN220968052U ("A Multifunctional Extended Handle for Handheld Game Consoles"), and the corresponding products, all feature grips that, whether integrated or separate, have largely fixed positions. Integrated grips cannot be adjusted, and separate grips are simply disassembled and reassembled; they cannot flexibly change the grip's position relative to the protective shell according to different users' hand sizes, grip habits, or other individual needs. For example, users with smaller hands prefer the grip to be closer to the center of the casing for a more comfortable hold; users with larger hands prefer the grip to be further out. The existing fixed grip design fails to meet diverse and personalized grip needs, thus reducing the user experience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention develops a pluggable grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective case. Through innovative structural design, it enables multi-level grip adjustment to meet the needs of different users, thereby enhancing grip comfort and personalized experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a plug-in grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective case, which solves the problems of fixed grip positions or inconvenient adjustment methods in existing game console protective cases, and cannot adapt to the individual needs of different users. It realizes stable multi-level grip adjustment, improves user grip comfort and user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pluggable grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective shell, comprising a shell and a detachable grip, wherein one of the shell and the grip is provided with a row of gear fixing holes, and the other is provided with a fixing foot, and the grip can be adjusted to different gears by inserting the fixing foot into different gear fixing holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing foot and the gear fixing hole are interference fit, and can be inserted or pulled out by force during use.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing and the grip are provided with magnets that attract each other, the magnets including a first magnet disposed on the housing and a second magnet disposed on the grip.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed foot is provided with a buckle, and a control switch is provided on one side of the fixed foot. When the handle is inserted into the housing, the buckle on the fixed foot is locked in the gear fixing hole. When it is necessary to remove the handle, the fixed foot can be deformed or moved by the control switch to release the buckle, thereby allowing the handle to be removed.

[0010] Furthermore, the control switch can be any one of a button, a knob, or a toggle switch.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a scale, and the grip is provided with an indicator mark, which works in conjunction with the scale to indicate the grip position.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example 1: Interference fit and magnet-equipped plug-in structure.

[0025] I. Overview of Overall Structure and Principles:

[0026] This embodiment uses a housing with a gear position fixing hole and a handle with a fixing foot as an example. In other embodiments, the housing can also have a fixing foot and the handle can have a gear position fixing hole.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a pluggable grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective case includes a housing 1 and a detachable grip 2. The housing 1 has a row of position fixing holes 3, and the grip 2 has fixing feet 4. The grip 2 is inserted into different position fixing holes 3 via the fixing feet 4, realizing the adjustment of the grip 2 to different positions. The fixing feet 4 and the position fixing holes 3 are interference fit, and can be forcefully inserted or pulled out during use. There are magnets attracting each other between the housing 1 and the grip 2. The magnets include a first magnet 5 set on the housing 1 and a second magnet 6 set on the grip 2. The housing 1 has a scale 7, and the grip 2 has an indicator mark 8. The indicator mark 8 cooperates with the scale 7 to mark the position of the grip 2.

[0028] The game console protective shell plug-in grip 2 adjustment mechanism of this embodiment provides basic fastening force through the interference fit between the fixing foot 4 and the gear fixing hole 3, and enhances the stability of long-term use by combining the magnetic adsorption between the shell 1 and the grip 2. The dual protection realizes the reliable fixation and convenient adjustment of the grip 2, which is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for fixation strength and durability.

[0029] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the "interference fit without magnet" method (fixed only by the interference fit between the fixing foot 4 and the gear fixing hole 3, suitable for cost-sensitive and low-frequency use scenarios) or the "non-interference ordinary plug-in structure with magnet" method (the fixing foot 4 and the gear fixing hole 3 are clearance fit, and fixed only by magnetic attraction, suitable for scenarios that require easy plugging and unplugging and frequent adjustment) can be adopted according to actual needs.

[0030] II. Key Components and Specific Implementation:

[0031] (a) Housing 1, gear fixing hole 3, scale 7, first magnet 5:

[0032] 1. Housing 1: Made of hard plastic adapted to the shape of the game console, providing basic protection. A row of adjustable holes 3 (can be round or square) is provided along the length of the surface of housing 1. The holes are evenly spaced, and 5-8 holes are provided to create multiple adjustable positions to meet the grip position needs of different users. The diameter of the holes is slightly smaller than the diameter of the grip feet 4, creating an interference fit to ensure a secure initial fixation.

[0033] 2. Scale 7: The surface of the housing 1 has a scale 7 next to the gear fixing hole 3, and the corresponding gear number is marked to identify the position of each gear.

[0034] 3. First magnet 5: A first magnet 5 (such as a neodymium iron boron magnet) is provided on the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the grip 2, embedded inside the housing 1. The number is 2-4, and they are evenly distributed around the fixing hole to ensure balanced adsorption force and prevent loosening of the interference fit after long-term use. The first magnet 5 can also be a bar magnet (the illustration in this embodiment uses a bar magnet as an example).

[0035] (II) Handle 2 and fixed foot 4, indicator mark 8, second magnet 6:

[0036] 1. Grip 2: Features an ergonomically designed curved grip with a textured surface for improved grip. The material is a combination of comfortable and strong plastic or silicone composite material. The inner side of the grip 2 has a connecting part that fits snugly against the surface of the housing 1. This connecting part includes fixing feet 4 (the number of which matches the gear shift fixing holes 3, typically 2-3). The fixing feet 4 are made of elastic plastic with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the gear shift fixing holes 3, achieving an interference fit.

[0037] 2. Indicator mark 8: An indicator arrow is provided on the side of the grip 2, and the arrow points to the scale 7 on the housing 1, so that the user can quickly identify the current gear position of the grip 2.

[0038] 3. Second magnet 6: A second magnet 6 (with opposite polarity to the first magnet 5) is provided on the inner side of the grip 2 at a position corresponding to the first magnet 5 of the housing 1. It is embedded inside the grip 2, corresponds one-to-one with the first magnet 5 and attracts each other. The magnetic force enhances the fixing effect and compensates for the wear gap after long-term use of the interference fit.

[0039] III. Working Process and Adjustment Logic:

[0040] 1. Grip 2 installation: Select the appropriate gear according to the user's hand size, align the fixing foot 4 of the grip 2 with the corresponding gear fixing hole 3 of the housing 1, apply pressure to insert the fixing foot 4 into the hole, and use interference fit to achieve initial fixation. At the same time, the first magnet 5 and the second magnet 6 attract each other to further enhance the connection strength.

[0041] 2. Gear shifting:

[0042] (1) If it is necessary to adjust the position of the grip 2, apply a pulling force to overcome the friction of the interference fit and the attraction of the magnet, pull the grip 2 out of the current gear fixing hole 3, and the fixing foot 4 will be elastically deformed under the pulling force and disengage from the hole.

[0043] (2) Align the fixing foot 4 with the target gear fixing hole 3 and insert it forcefully. The interference fit and the magnetic attraction work together to achieve fixation. At this time, the indicator arrow is aligned with the corresponding scale line 7 to complete the gear switching.

[0044] 3. Symmetrical adjustment: For scenarios where the grip is held with both hands, the indicator arrows on the left and right grips 2 are aligned with the scale line 7 on the housing 1 to ensure that both grips 2 are in the same position, thus ensuring grip balance.

[0045] Example 2: Plug-in structure with inverted buckle and control switch (without magnet).

[0046] I. Overview of Overall Structure and Principles:

[0047] This embodiment also uses the example of a housing with a gear position fixing hole and a handle with a fixing foot. In other embodiments, the housing can also have a fixing foot and the handle can have a gear position fixing hole.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a pluggable grip adjustment mechanism for a game console protective case includes a housing 1 and a detachable grip 2. The housing 1 has a row of position fixing holes 3, and the grip 2 has fixing feet 4. The grip 2 is inserted into different position fixing holes 3 via the fixing feet 4 to achieve adjustment of the grip 2 to different positions. The fixing feet 4 have buckles 401, and a control switch is located on one side of the fixing feet 4. When the grip 2 is inserted into the housing 1, the buckles 401 on the fixing feet 4 are engaged in the position fixing holes 3. When it is necessary to remove the grip 2, the fixing feet 4 can be deformed by the control switch 9 to release the buckles 401, thereby allowing the grip 2 to be removed. The control switch 9 is a button, but in other embodiments, it can also be a knob, toggle switch, or other control switch 9. The housing 1 has scales 7, and the grip 2 has indicator marks 8. The indicator marks 8 cooperate with the scales 7 to indicate the position of the grip 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the grip 2 is fixed and adjusted by the snap-fit ​​401 of the fixing foot 4 and the locking hole 3 of the gear position, combined with the unlocking function of the control switch 9. It can provide a high-strength connection without the need for magnets, and is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for fixed reliability and where it is not desirable to rely on magnetic force (such as avoiding the potential impact of magnetic fields on electronic devices).

[0050] II. Key Components and Specific Implementation:

[0051] (a) Housing 1 and gear fixing hole 3, scale 7:

[0052] 1. Housing 1: Made of high-strength plastic or alloy material, with excellent drop resistance. The surface of housing 1 is provided with a row of adjustment holes 3, and the inside of the holes is provided with a groove that mates with the buckle 401. The holes are evenly spaced to form multiple adjustment positions.

[0053] 2. Scale 7: The surface of the housing 1 is provided with a digital scale 7 (such as 1-6), which corresponds to the position of the fixing hole 3 of each gear position, so as to facilitate accurate alignment.

[0054] (II) Handle 2 and fixed foot 4, control switch 9, indicator 8:

[0055] 1. Handle 2: The inner connecting part is provided with a fixed foot 4, and the end of the fixed foot 4 is provided with an elastic buckle 401 (wedge-shaped, made of elastic plastic, which is easy to retract when inserted and pop out to lock after insertion). A control switch 9 (in this embodiment, a push-button switch is used, which is located at the top of the handle 2 in a position that is easy for the fingers to operate) is connected to one side of the fixed foot 4. The switch is connected to the fixed foot 4 through a connecting rod. The push-button switch can drive the fixed foot 4 to deform inward.

[0056] 2. Indicator mark 8: The grip 2 is provided with indicator protrusions, the position of which corresponds to the digital scale 7 on the housing 1, to intuitively display the current gear position.

[0057] III. Working Process and Adjustment Logic:

[0058] 1. Grip 2 installation: Align the fixing foot 4 with the target gear fixing hole 3 and insert it. The buckle 401 is squeezed and contracted by the hole wall. After it is fully inserted, the buckle 401 pops out under its own elasticity and is locked in the slot in the hole, so that the grip 2 is firmly fixed.

[0059] 2. Gear shifting:

[0060] (1) Move the control switch 9, and the connecting rod will cause the fixed foot 4 to deform inward, so that the buckle 401 will disengage from the slot;

[0061] (2) Pull out the handle 2, insert the fixing foot 4 into the new gear fixing hole 3, release the control switch 9, the fixing foot 4 resets, and the inverted clip 401 pops out and snaps into the slot of the new hole to complete the gear switching.

[0062] 3. Symmetrical adjustment: By matching the indicator bumps with the digital scale 7 on the housing 1, the left and right grips are in the same position 2, ensuring grip balance and operational coordination.

[0063] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
