Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gaming device technology, and in particular to a steering wheel and a gaming device. Background Technology

[0002] A game simulator is a simulation device designed specifically for video games, consisting of an adjustable stand, a multi-axis controller, and a racing seat.

[0003] In related technologies, the display screens of game emulator steering wheels are becoming increasingly larger and their display performance is constantly improving. This leads to a significant increase in the power consumption of the driver chips and the display panel itself, resulting in a large amount of heat. Simultaneously, the main control board inside the steering wheel, as another major heat source, also generates a significant amount of heat during operation.

[0004] The steering wheel of the aforementioned game emulator typically has its display screen and main control board mounted in a compact manner, resulting in concentrated heat sources and interference between heat dissipation paths. This reduces the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and seriously affects its functional stability and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application addresses the problem of concentrated heat sources and interfering heat dissipation paths within the steering wheel, which reduces the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel in the related art. To this end, this application provides a steering wheel and a gaming device.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a steering wheel, comprising:

[0007] The housing has an internal mounting cavity.

[0008] The display assembly includes a display screen and a display driver board. The display screen is disposed at one end of the housing along the thickness direction, and the display driver board is disposed on the backlight side of the display screen and located in the mounting cavity.

[0009] The first heat dissipation component is located on the side of the display driver board away from the display screen and in the mounting cavity, and is used to dissipate heat from the display driver board.

[0010] The main control board is located in the mounting cavity and connected to the end of the housing away from the display screen. The main control board and the display driver board are also distributed at intervals along the thickness direction.

[0011] The steering wheel according to the first aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The steering wheel of this application is configured with a housing, a display component, a first heat dissipation component, and a main control board. The first heat dissipation component is located on the side of the display driver board away from the display screen, so that when the first heat dissipation component dissipates heat from the display driver board, the heat from the display driver board is not easily conducted to the display screen and affects the display screen's display performance. The main control board is connected to the end of the housing away from the display screen, and the main control board and the display driver board are spaced apart, forming a large heat dissipation space between the display driver board and the main control board. This reduces the risk of mutual interference between the heat dissipation paths of the display driver board and the main control board, accelerates the heat exchange between the air inside the housing and the main control board and the display driver board, and also accelerates the heat dissipation of the display driver board by the first heat dissipation component. It is beneficial to quickly conduct the heat from the main control board and the display driver board to the housing, and then dissipate it through the housing, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and improving the functional stability and reliability of the steering wheel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation component includes a first heat-conducting element and a first heat dissipation element. The first heat-conducting element is disposed on the side of the display driver board away from the display screen, and the first heat dissipation element is disposed on the side of the first heat-conducting element away from the display driver board. A heat dissipation space is formed between the first heat dissipation element and the main control board.

[0014] With this configuration, the heat from the display driver board is quickly conducted to the first heat sink via the first heat conduction component. The first heat sink, with its large surface area, dissipates the heat into the housing, allowing the air inside the housing to absorb the heat from the first heat sink and quickly conduct it to the housing, where it is then dissipated. During this process, the gap between the first heat sink and the main control board increases the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the first heat sink, as well as between the air and the main control board, thus accelerating the heat dissipation of the display driver board and the main control board, making the steering wheel operation more stable and reliable.

[0015] In some embodiments, the display driver board includes a driver substrate and a driver chip. The driver substrate is disposed on the backlight side of the display screen, and the driver chip is disposed on the side of the driver substrate opposite to the display screen. The orthographic projection of the first heat-conducting element on the driver substrate covers the orthographic projection of the driver chip on the driver substrate.

[0016] This configuration separates the driver chip from the display screen via the driver substrate, preventing the driver chip from directly contacting the display screen and transferring heat directly to it. This reduces heat transfer from the driver chip to the display screen, ensuring display stability. Simultaneously, by covering the driver chip's projection onto the driver substrate with the projection of the first heat-conducting component, the first heat-conducting component effectively covers the chip. This allows heat from all parts of the chip to be directly conducted to the first heat sink 320, accelerating overall heat dissipation of the display driver board.

[0017] In some embodiments, the display driver board, the first heat-conducting component, and the first heat-dissipating component are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction.

[0018] This configuration allows for a larger contact area between the display driver board and the first heat-conducting component, as well as between the first heat-conducting component and the first heat-dissipating component. As a result, the combined structure of the first heat-conducting component and the first heat-dissipating component can dissipate heat and cool the display driver board more quickly.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first heat sink includes a heat sink substrate and a plurality of heat sink fins connected to the heat sink substrate and disposed along the thickness direction, wherein the plurality of heat sink fins are parallel to and spaced apart along the side surface of the heat sink substrate opposite to the first heat sink.

[0020] This configuration, with its spaced distribution of multiple heat dissipation fins, significantly increases the surface area of ​​the first heat sink in contact with the air, effectively enhancing the heat exchange efficiency between the first heat sink and the air, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the display driver board. Simultaneously, the multiple heat dissipation fins located within the gap between the display driver board and the main control board also indirectly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the main control board.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first heat sink is connected to the end of the housing away from the display screen, and the display driver board is fixed to the first heat sink via the first heat conductor.

[0022] With this configuration, the heat from the display driver board can be conducted sequentially along the first heat-conducting component, the first heat-dissipating component, and the gap between the display driver board and the main control board, and finally dissipated through the rear shell of the housing. This reduces the risk of the heat from the display driver board being conducted to the display screen located at the front of the housing, and further ensures the display stability of the display screen.

[0023] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket is provided inside the mounting cavity, the mounting bracket is connected to the housing, and the display driver board is fixed to the mounting bracket.

[0024] With this configuration, the mounting bracket provides a mounting and support platform for the display driver board, making the display driver board more stable in the housing. At the same time, some of the heat from the display driver board can be conducted to the housing through the mounting bracket, expanding the heat dissipation path and heat dissipation area of ​​the display driver board. Combined with the heat dissipation component of the first heat dissipation component, the heat dissipation efficiency of the display driver board can be further improved.

[0025] In some embodiments, the steering wheel further includes a second heat dissipation component, which is disposed on the main control board and located in the mounting cavity, and is used to dissipate heat from the main control board.

[0026] With this configuration, the first and second heat dissipation components dissipate heat from the main control board and the display driver board separately, which reduces the risk of mutual interference between the heat dissipation paths of the display driver board and the main control board. It also accelerates the heat exchange between the air inside the housing and the main control board and the display driver board, and facilitates the conduction of heat from the main control board and the display driver board to the opposite ends of the housing, and then dissipates it through the housing. This improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and enhances its functional stability and reliability.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation component includes a second heat-conducting element and a second heat dissipation element, and the main control board, the second heat-conducting element and the second heat dissipation element are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction.

[0028] This design allows the second heat dissipation component to have a large contact area with the main control board, which helps to accelerate the heat dissipation of the main control board.

[0029] Secondly, this application provides a gaming device, which includes the steering wheel described above.

[0030] The gaming device according to the second aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0031] The gaming device of this application, due to the configuration of the aforementioned steering wheel, also has the same technical effect brought about by the aforementioned direction, namely, it can effectively improve the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel, improve the functional stability and reliability of the steering wheel, thereby improving the functional stability and operational reliability of the gaming device and enhancing the user experience.

[0032] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] In related technologies, the screen sizes of steering wheels for gaming devices are increasing and their display performance is constantly improving. This leads to a significant increase in the power consumption of the driver chips and the display panels themselves, resulting in a large amount of heat generation. Simultaneously, the main control board inside the steering wheel, as another major heat source, also generates a significant amount of heat during operation.

[0042] The steering wheel of the aforementioned gaming devices typically has its display screen and main control board mounted in a compact manner, resulting in concentrated heat sources and interference between heat dissipation paths. This reduces the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and seriously affects its functional stability and reliability.

[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, one or more embodiments of this application provide a steering wheel that, through the coordinated arrangement of a housing, a display component, a first heat dissipation component, and a main control board, allows the first heat dissipation component to be positioned on the side of the display driver board furthest from the display screen. This ensures that when the first heat dissipation component cools the display driver board, the heat from the display driver board is less likely to be conducted to the display screen, thus affecting the display screen's display performance. The main control board is connected to the end of the housing furthest from the display screen, and the main control board and the display driver board are spaced apart, creating a larger heat dissipation space between them. This reduces the risk of interference between the heat dissipation paths of the display driver board and the main control board, accelerates heat exchange between the air inside the housing and the main control board and the display driver board, and also accelerates the heat dissipation of the display driver board by the first heat dissipation component. This facilitates the rapid conduction of heat from the main control board and the display driver board to the housing, where it is then dissipated, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and enhancing its functional stability and reliability.

[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This application provides a steering wheel, which includes a housing 100, a display component 200, a first heat dissipation component 300, and a main control board 400.

[0045] The housing 100 has an internal mounting cavity 110. The display assembly 200 includes a display screen 210 and a display driver board 220. The display screen 210 is located at one end of the housing 100 along the thickness direction Z, and the display driver board 220 is located on the backlight side of the display screen 210 and is located inside the mounting cavity 110.

[0046] The first heat dissipation component 300 is located on the side of the display driver board 220 away from the display screen 210. The first heat dissipation component 300 is located in the mounting cavity 110 and is used to dissipate heat from the display driver board 220.

[0047] The main control board 400 is located in the mounting cavity 110 and connected to the end of the housing 100 away from the display screen 210. The main control board 400 and the display driver board 220 are also distributed at intervals along the thickness direction Z.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this application, the housing 100 refers to the structure used to support and install functional components such as the display assembly 200, the first heat dissipation assembly 300, and the main control board 400; it is the frame of the steering wheel. See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing 100 may include a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102, which are detachably connected by screws, clips, or other detachable structures, and form an installation cavity 110.

[0049] In this application, for display component 200, see [link to application]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The display screen 210 is an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display screen. The display screen 210 can be, but is not limited to, a flat screen, a curved screen, etc. For example, the display screen 210 is a curved screen, which facilitates providing a larger display area. The housing 100 has opposing front and rear ends along the thickness direction Z. The display screen 210 is embedded in the front end of the housing 100, for example, the display screen 210 is embedded in the front housing 101.

[0050] The display screen 210 has a light-emitting side and a backlight side along its thickness direction. The display driver board 220 is disposed on the backlight side of the display screen 210 and is electrically connected to the display screen 210. The display driver board 220 can be a driver substrate carrying a driver circuit or a driver chip, or the display driver board 220 can be a flexible circuit board. The display driver board 220 is used to provide signals and power to the display screen 210 so that the display screen 210 outputs a visible image.

[0051] See also in this application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 For the first heat dissipation component 300, the display driver board 220 has a side close to the display screen 210 and a side away from the display screen 210 along its own thickness direction. The first heat dissipation component 300 is located on the side of the display driver board 220 away from the display screen 210. The first heat dissipation component 300 may be, but is not limited to, a plate-shaped finned heat sink, heat sink, etc., and is used to dissipate heat from the display driver board 220.

[0052] See also in this application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main control board 400 refers to the main controller of the steering wheel. The main control board 400 can be understood as a microcontroller or microcomputer. The main control board 400 is electrically connected to the display driver board 220. The main control board 400 receives instruction information from the user and transmits the instruction information to the display driver board 220 in the form of an electrical signal. The display driver board 220 converts the electrical signal into a display signal for the display screen 210, and the display screen 210 outputs the display signal as a visual image.

[0053] The main control board 400 is disposed inside the housing 100 and connected to the rear end of the housing 100. Exemplarily, the main control board 400 can be detachably fixed to the rear shell 102 of the housing 100 via screws, clips, or other detachable structures, thereby distributing it at a distance Z from the display driver board 220 in the thickness direction Z of the housing 100. This creates a gap space between the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400 within the mounting cavity 110 of the housing 100. This gap space separates the display driver board 220 from the main control board 400, preventing the two heat sources from concentrating. Simultaneously, this gap space can serve as a heat dissipation space for the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400, and also as a heat dissipation space for the first heat dissipation component 300, accelerating the heat dissipation and cooling rate of the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400.

[0054] From the above description, it is easy to understand that the steering wheel of this embodiment is configured with the housing 100, display component 200, first heat dissipation component 300, and main control board 400. The first heat dissipation component 300 is located on the side of the display driver board 220 away from the display screen 210, so that when the first heat dissipation component 300 dissipates heat from the display driver board 220, the heat from the display driver board 220 is not easily conducted to the display screen 210 and affects the display function of the display screen 210. The main control board 400 is connected to the end of the housing 100 away from the display screen 210 and spaced apart from the display driver board 220. The distribution of heat dissipation space between the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400 reduces the risk of interference between their heat dissipation paths. This accelerates heat exchange between the air inside the housing 100 and the main control board 400 and the display driver board 220, and also speeds up the heat dissipation of the display driver board 220 by the first heat dissipation component 300. This facilitates the rapid transfer of heat from the main control board 400 and the display driver board 220 to the housing 100, where it is then dissipated. This improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and enhances its functional stability and reliability.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first heat dissipation component 300 includes a first heat conduction component 310 and a first heat dissipation component 320. The first heat conduction component 310 is disposed on the side of the display driver board 220 away from the display screen 210, and the first heat dissipation component 320 is disposed on the side of the first heat conduction component 310 away from the display driver board 220. A heat dissipation space 120 is formed between the first heat dissipation component 320 and the main control board 400.

[0056] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The first heat-conducting component 310 can be, but is not limited to, a thermally conductive silicone pad or a thermally conductive mat, which has high thermal conductivity and good insulation properties, providing electrical insulation for the display driver board 220. The first heat-dissipating component 320 can be a metal heat sink, such as an aluminum alloy heat sink or a copper heat sink, which not only has a large heat dissipation surface area but also a large thermal conductivity and excellent thermal conductivity. Of course, the first heat sink 320 can also be a finned heat sink.

[0057] Understandably, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first heat-conducting component 310 is located between the display driver board 220 and the first heat sink 320, and is responsible for quickly transferring the heat from the display driver board 220 to the first heat sink 320. The first heat sink 320 and the main control board 400 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the thickness direction Z of the housing 100, and the gap between them provides a larger heat dissipation space for both.

[0058] In the above structure, when the steering wheel is in operation, the heat from the display driver board 220 is quickly conducted to the first heat sink 320 through the first heat conduction component 310. The first heat sink 320 dissipates the heat into the housing 100 through its large surface area, allowing the air inside the housing 100 to absorb the heat from the first heat sink 320 and quickly conduct the heat to the housing 100, whereby the heat is dissipated. During this process, the gap between the first heat sink 320 and the main control board 400 increases the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the first heat sink 320, as well as between the air and the main control board 400, which helps to accelerate the heat dissipation of the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400, making the steering wheel operation more stable and reliable.

[0059] Furthermore, see also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display driver board 220 includes a driver substrate (not shown in the figure) and a driver chip (not shown in the figure). The driver substrate is disposed on the backlight side of the display screen 210, and the driver chip is disposed on the side of the driver substrate away from the display screen 210. The orthographic projection of the first heat conduction element 310 on the driver substrate covers the orthographic projection of the driver chip on the driver substrate.

[0060] Specifically, the driver chip is integrated on the driver substrate. The first heat-conducting element 310 is constructed as a thermally conductive silicone sheet and is attached to the side of the driver substrate away from the display screen 210, so that the first heat-conducting element 310 covers the driver chip.

[0061] In the above structure, the driver chip serves as the main heat source on the display driver board 220, and the driver substrate serves as the supporting carrier for the driver chip. By placing the driver chip on the side of the driver substrate away from the display screen 210, the driver chip and the display screen 210 are separated by the driver substrate, preventing the driver chip from directly contacting the display screen 210 and transferring heat directly to the display screen 210. This reduces the amount of heat transferred from the driver chip to the display screen 210, ensuring the display stability of the display screen 210. Simultaneously, by covering the orthographic projection of the first heat-conducting element 310 on the driver substrate with the orthographic projection of the driver chip on the driver substrate, the first heat-conducting element 310 covers the chip on the driver substrate. This allows heat from various parts of the chip to be directly conducted to the first heat sink 320 through the first heat-conducting element 310, facilitating faster overall heat dissipation of the display driver board 220.

[0062] Furthermore, see also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display driver board 220, the first heat-conducting component 310, and the first heat-dissipating component 320 are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction Z.

[0063] Specifically, the display driver board 220, the first heat-conducting component 310, and the first heat sink 320 are in sequential face-to-face contact. In a preferred embodiment, all three are axially symmetrical structures, and their axes of symmetry coincide, which facilitates the positioning and assembly of the display driver board 220, the first heat-conducting component 310, and the first heat sink 320.

[0064] The first heat sink 320 can be detachably fixed to the front shell 101 or the rear shell 102 of the housing 100 by means of screws, clips or other structures. The first heat conduction element 310 is a thermally conductive silicone sheet and is sandwiched between the display driver board 220 and the first heat sink 320. At the same time, by using the limiting connection between the first heat sink 320 and the front shell 101 or the rear shell 102, the first heat conduction element 310 is tightly pressed and fixed to the display driver board 220. The compression deformation of the first heat conduction element 310 fills the gap on the surface of the display driver board 220, thereby increasing the contact area between the first heat conduction element 310 and the display driver board 220 and accelerating the heat conduction between the display driver board 220 and the first heat conduction element 310.

[0065] In the above structure, the display driver board 220, the first heat-conducting component 310, and the first heat-dissipating component 320 are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction Z, so that there is a large contact area between the display driver board 220 and the first heat-conducting component 310, and also a large contact area between the first heat-conducting component 310 and the first heat-dissipating component 320. In this way, the cooperative structure of the first heat-conducting component 310 and the first heat-dissipating component 320 can dissipate heat and cool down the display driver board 220 more quickly.

[0066] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first heat sink 320 includes a heat sink substrate 321 and a plurality of heat sink fins 322 connected to the heat sink substrate 321 and arranged along the thickness direction Z. The plurality of heat sink fins 322 are parallel and spaced apart along the side surface of the heat sink substrate 321 opposite to the first heat conductor 310.

[0067] Specifically, the heat dissipation substrate 321 is a copper plate or an aluminum alloy plate. The heat dissipation substrate 321 indirectly presses and fixes the first heat conduction element 310 to the display driver plate 220 through the connection and fixation with the front shell 101 or the rear shell 102 of the housing 100, and also makes the heat dissipation substrate 321 and the first heat conduction element 310 in relatively close contact.

[0068] The fact that the heat dissipation fins 322 are positioned along the thickness direction Z can be understood as the heat dissipation fins 322 being perpendicular to the plane of the heat dissipation substrate 321. The heat dissipation fins 322 are metal fins made of the same material as the heat dissipation substrate 321. Multiple heat dissipation fins 322 are arranged in an array along the surface of the heat dissipation substrate 321 on the side away from the first heat conductor 310, or they can be arranged in a single row or a single column.

[0069] It should be noted that the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 322 is parallel to the thickness direction Z of the housing 100, so that the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 322 is consistent with the main flow direction of the airflow inside the housing 100. In this way, the heat exchange between the air and the heat dissipation fins 322 can be accelerated.

[0070] It is easy to understand that the above structure sets the first heat sink 320 as a combination of a heat sink substrate 321 and multiple heat sink fins 322. The spacing of the multiple heat sink fins 322 can significantly increase the heat dissipation surface area of ​​the first heat sink 320 in contact with the air, effectively enhancing the heat exchange efficiency between the first heat sink 320 and the air, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the display driver board 220. At the same time, the multiple heat sink fins 322 are located in the gap space between the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400, which can also indirectly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the main control board 400.

[0071] See also some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first heat sink 320 is connected to the end of the housing 100 away from the display screen 210, and the display driver board 220 is fixed to the first heat sink 320 through the first heat conductor 310.

[0072] Specifically, the first heat sink 320 can be detachably connected to the rear shell 102 of the housing 100 by means of screws, clips or other structures. The first heat conductor 310 is a thermally conductive silicone sheet. The first heat conductor 310 is fixed on the first heat sink 320. The display driver board 220 is fixed on the first heat conductor 310.

[0073] With the above structure, the heat from the display driver board 220 can be conducted sequentially along the first heat-conducting component 310, the first heat dissipation component 320, and the gap between the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400, and finally dissipated through the rear shell 102 of the housing 100. This reduces the risk of heat from the display driver board 220 being conducted to the display screen 210 located at the front end of the housing 100, and further ensures the display stability of the display screen 210.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting cavity 110 is provided with a mounting bracket 130, which is connected to the housing 100. The display driver board 220 is fixed to the mounting bracket 130.

[0075] Specifically, the mounting bracket 130 is a metal bracket, such as a sheet metal bracket. The mounting bracket 130 is fixedly connected to the rear shell 102 of the housing 100, and the display driver board 220 is fixed to the mounting bracket 130 by screws, clips, or other structures. In addition, the first heat dissipation component 300 can also be fixed to the mounting bracket 130 by screws, clips, or other structures, simplifying the assembly process of the first heat dissipation component 300.

[0076] The aforementioned structure, with the mounting bracket 130, provides a mounting and support carrier for the display driver board 220, making the display driver board 220 more stable in the housing 100. At the same time, some of the heat on the display driver board 220 can be conducted to the housing 100 through the mounting bracket 130, expanding the heat dissipation path and heat dissipation area of ​​the display driver board 220. Combined with the heat dissipation of the first heat dissipation component 300, the heat dissipation efficiency of the display driver board 220 can be further improved.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, the steering wheel further includes a second heat dissipation component (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the main control board 400 and located in the mounting cavity 110, and is used to dissipate heat from the main control board 400.

[0078] The structure of the second heat dissipation component can be basically the same as that of the first heat dissipation component 300.

[0079] For example, the second heat dissipation component includes a second heat-conducting element and a second heat dissipation element, with the main control board 400, the second heat-conducting element, and the second heat dissipation element stacked sequentially along the thickness direction Z. This allows the second heat dissipation component to have a large contact area with the main control board 400, which facilitates faster heat dissipation from the main control board 400.

[0080] In the above structure, the first heat dissipation component 300 and the second heat dissipation component respectively dissipate heat for the main control board 400 and the display driver board 220. This can reduce the risk of mutual interference between the heat dissipation paths of the display driver board 220 and the main control board 400, accelerate the heat exchange between the air inside the housing 100 and the main control board 400 and the display driver board 220, and also facilitate the conduction of heat from the main control board 400 and the display driver board 220 to the opposite ends of the housing 100, and then dissipate it through the housing 100. This improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel and enhances the functional stability and reliability of the steering wheel.

[0081] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a gaming device, which includes the steering wheel of any of the above embodiments. The gaming device can be a racing simulator, a flight simulator, or a simulation device for simulating other engineering machinery equipment.

[0082] The gaming device of this application embodiment, being equipped with the aforementioned steering wheel, also possesses the same technical effects as the steering wheel described above, namely, it can effectively improve the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the steering wheel, enhance the functional stability and reliability of the steering wheel, thereby improving the functional stability and operational reliability of the gaming device and enhancing the user experience.

[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0084] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
