[0029] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Of course, the embodiments described here are only a part, not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the embodiments of the present application without creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] References to "an embodiment" herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described with respect to an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Appearances of the term in various places in the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor are they mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiments of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] The joystick in a joystick device is a core component of devices such as game controllers and drone remote controls. When the joystick rotates, it transmits signals to devices such as game controllers and drone remote controls in real time to control the movement of game characters or devices such as drones. The accuracy of the signals directly affects the user experience and is a core requirement for joystick-type devices. Therefore, it is important that the joystick can return to its original position accurately every time.

[0032] The joystick's dead zone is within a predetermined range, so real-time joystick movement signals do not affect game characters or drones. When the restoring force provided by the return spring located below the joystick reaches a torque balance with the frictional forces of the joystick's internal components, the joystick becomes stuck at a position other than the origin. Over time and with wear, the frictional force increases and may exceed the initial joystick dead zone value. In this case, to ensure the accuracy of joystick movement, the joystick's dead zone must be manually expanded, resulting in inconsistent dead zones. Inconsistent dead zones mean increased invalid joystick operation. That is, before a user can control a game character or drone, they must operate the joystick to exceed the expanded joystick dead zone. Simply exceeding the initial joystick dead zone has no effect on the game character or drone. In competitive games, such invalid operation directly affects the user experience, and the longer the joystick's dead zone is expanded, the worse the user experience becomes.

[0033] Hereinafter, the joystick device provided by the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. Figure 2 is an exploded schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the joystick device of the present application in a first state. The present application provides a joystick device 10. The joystick device 10 includes a support base 1, a joystick 21, a bias member 3, and a return assembly 4. The support base 1 provides a constant support force to the entire joystick device 10. The joystick 21 is provided with a pressing portion 211. The bias member 3 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32 arranged opposite to each other. The first end 31 contacts the pressing portion 211. Regardless of whether the joystick 21 is in a rotating state or a return state, the pressing portion 211 is always in contact with the first end 31.

[0035] The return assembly 4 is disposed at the second end 32. When the pressing member 211 acts on the first end 31, the second end 32 acts on the return assembly 4, causing the structure of the return assembly 4 to change and accumulate a certain amount of energy. When the pressing member 211 releases its force on the first end 31, the second end 32 also releases its force on the return assembly 4, allowing the return assembly 4 to release the energy due to its structure. In the process of returning to its original state, the return assembly 4 drives the second end 32 to return. Here, the bias member 3 is disposed on the support seat 1 in a lever manner, and the force-receiving states of the first end 31 and the second end 32 affect each other. The return assembly 4 may have any structure as long as it fulfills the return function, and its specific structure is not limited.

[0036] Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the joystick device of the present application in a second state. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, specifically, when the pressing portion 211 presses the first end 31 of the bias member 3, the first end 31 receives a force, which moves the second end 32, thereby offsetting the second end 32 of the bias member 3. As the second end 32 offsets, the second end 32 acts on the return assembly 4, causing the return assembly 4 to change its structure and accumulate a certain amount of energy. When the pressing portion 211 releases its pressure on the first end 31, the second end 32 releases the force acting on the return assembly 4. At this time, the return assembly 4 returns to its original state and drives the second end 32 of the bias member 3 to return. This causes the first end 31 to return, which in turn drives the joystick 21 to return.

[0037] By locating the return assembly 4 at the second end 32 of the bias member 3 rather than at the first end 31 of the bias member 3, the joystick 21 and the return mechanism need not be coaxially positioned, which reduces the difficulty of assembling the joystick device 10. Even if the return assembly 4 breaks down, it can be easily disassembled and replaced. Furthermore, since the bias member 3 is mounted on the support base 1 in a lever-like manner and the return assembly 4 is located at the second end 32 of the bias member 3, the pressing portion 211 of the joystick 21 directly contacts the first end 31 of the bias member 3, eliminating the need to locate the bias member 3 coaxially with the return mechanism. This reduces the contact area between the bias member 3 and the support base 1 and the frictional resistance between the bias member 3 and the support base 1, improving the operation accuracy of the joystick 21 and further improving the user experience of the joystick device 10. At the same time, the structure of the joystick 21 itself does not need to be modified. At the same time, since the bias member 3 is arranged in a lever manner and the return mechanism and the joystick 21 are arranged non-coaxially, the bias member 3 can be supported by a lightweight material, eliminating the need to use high-strength metal materials, and significantly reducing production costs.

[0038] The bias member 3 is arranged on the support seat 1 in a lever manner, and the force-receiving conditions of the first end 31 and the second end 32 influence each other. The bias member 3 may be attached to the support seat 1 in any structure as long as it can be offset from the support seat 1. For example, the bias member 3 may be moved in a lever manner on the support seat 1 by a ball head and ball socket structure, a rotary shaft structure, or the like.

[0039] For example, in one specific embodiment, the bias member 3 is pivotally connected to the support seat 1 via a rotation shaft 51. The rotation shaft 51 not only provides a certain supporting force for attaching the bias member 3 to the support seat 1, but also allows the bias member 3 to rotate relative to the support seat 1. The rotation shaft 51 allows the bias member 3 to rotate more smoothly relative to the support seat 1, which not only reduces the effort required to move or return the joystick 21, but also improves the user experience. In addition, the friction force between the bias member 3 and the support seat 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of the dead zone of the joystick 21 becoming larger.

[0040] In one embodiment, the position of the rotation axis 51 between the bias member 3 and the support seat 1 can be determined according to actual circumstances. For example, the rotation axis 51 may be located between the end of the first end 31 of the bias member 3 and the support seat 1. Alternatively, the rotation axis 51 may be located between the end of the second end 32 of the bias member 3 and the support seat 1. Alternatively, the rotation axis 51 may be located between the intermediate position of the bias member 3 and the support seat 1. Alternatively, the rotation axis 51 may be located between the intermediate position and the first end 31 of the bias member 3, or between the intermediate position and the second end 32. Here, the distances between the intermediate position and the first end 31 and the second end 32 are all the same.

[0041] For example, in one specific embodiment, the rotation axis 51 is located at a position between the first end 31 and the second end 32, and at the same time, the rotation axis 51 is positioned biased toward the second end 32. That is, the rotation axis 51 is located between the intermediate position of the bias member 3 and the second end 32. By limiting the position of the rotation axis 51 as described above, the bias member 3 rotates more smoothly relative to the support seat 1, and the joystick 21 is advanced or returned with less effort, improving the user experience of the joystick device 10.

[0042] In one embodiment, both sides of the bias member 3 in the extending direction from the first end 31 to the second end 32 are connected to both sides of the support seat 1 by a rotation shaft 51 and a rotation shaft groove 52. When the rotation shaft 51 rotates in the rotation shaft groove 52, the bias member 3 rotates relative to the support seat 1. This has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, a rotation shaft 51 is provided on both sides of the bias member 3 in the extension direction. A rotation shaft groove 52 is provided on both sides of the support seat 1. The rotation shaft 51 rotates in the rotation shaft groove 52. In another specific embodiment, a rotation shaft groove 52 is provided on both sides of the bias member 3 in the extension direction. A rotation shaft 51 is provided on both sides of the support seat 1. The rotation shaft 51 rotates in the rotation shaft groove 52. In another specific embodiment, a rotation shaft groove 52 is provided on one of the both sides of the bias member 3 in the extension direction. A rotation shaft 51 is provided on one of the both sides of the support seat 1. The rotation shaft 51 rotates in the rotation shaft groove 52.

[0044] In another alternative embodiment, one rotation shaft groove 52 penetrates the bias member 3 in the extending direction, and another rotation shaft groove 52 is provided on both sides of the support seat 1. The rotation shaft 51 is provided to penetrate the rotation shaft groove 52, so that the bias member 3 rotates relative to the support seat 1 by the rotation shaft 51. Compared to the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the bias member 3 rotates more stably relative to the support seat 1.

[0045] In an actual process, the two outer sides of the bias member 3 in the extension direction match with the two inner sides of the support seat 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the two inner sides of the bias member 3 in the extension direction match with the two outer sides of the support seat 1, and the specific structure is not limited.

[0046] In one embodiment, a hard layer (not shown) is provided on one end surface of the first end 31 facing the pressing portion 211. The hard layer increases the hardness of the one end surface of the first end 31 facing the pressing portion 211, reducing wear on the first end 31 caused by the pressing portion 211 and improving the wear resistance of the first end 31, thereby improving the usability of the joystick device 10. The hard layer may also be formed into a mirror-like surface, which reduces the friction between the pressing portion 211 and the first end 31 and reduces the possibility of an enlarged dead zone in the joystick 21. The hard layer may be, but is not limited to, a metal or metal alloy layer.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a joystick in a first embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of a joystick in a second embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. Referring to Figures 1 to 4, in one embodiment, the pressing portion 211 includes a bottom wall 2111. An inclined surface 2111a is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the bottom wall 2111. When the joystick 21 rotates in different directions, the pressing portion 211 presses the first end 31 in different directions. When the pressing portion 211 is tilted, the inclined surface 2111a and the first end 31 are in at least line contact, which increases the contact area between the inclined surface 2111a and the first end 31 and thus improves the stability with which the joystick 21 acts on the first end 31.

[0048] Specifically, the inclined surface 2111a has an arc-shaped surface, which increases the contact area between the inclined surface 2111a and the first end 31, not only improving the stability of the joystick 21 acting on the first end 31, but also reducing the frictional force between the inclined surface 2111a and the first end 31, and further reducing wear on the first end 31 caused by the pressing portion 211.

[0049] The joystick 21 in the existing joystick device 10 requires a certain operating force to be pressed. The existing return mechanism cannot be adjusted. At the same time, because the return mechanism is located at a lower position of the joystick 21, it is difficult to replace the return mechanism. As a result, the operating force of the joystick 21 in the joystick device 10 is uniform and cannot meet the operating force requirements of different users for the joystick 21. The magnitude of the operating force of the joystick 21 directly affects the user's usage experience; the smaller the operating force, the easier the operation.

[0050] Therefore, by changing the structure of the return assembly 4 itself, different return forces can be generated, thereby realizing adjustment of different operating strengths of the joystick 21. In addition, by disposing the return assembly 4 at the second end 32 of the bias member 3, it is convenient to adjust the return assembly 4 at any time, and furthermore, it is possible to meet different operating strength requirements of the joystick 21.

[0051] In one embodiment, the return assembly 4 includes an elastic member 41 and an adjustment assembly 42. The elastic member 41 has a certain elasticity. The elastic member 41 is used to return the bias member 3. The adjustment assembly 42 is used to restrict the elastic member 41. By restricting the elastic member 41, the adjustment assembly 42 allows adjustment of different elasticities of the elastic member 41, thereby enabling adjustment of different operating strengths of the joystick 21 and improving the user experience. The elastic member 41 may be a compression spring, a tension spring, or the like, but is not limited thereto. The adjustment assembly 42 may have any structure that allows adjustment of the strength of the elastic member 41, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 42 is adjustably fixed to the support seat 1. That is, the adjustment assembly 42 is disposed at a position opposite the support seat 1 and the second end 32, which improves the stability of the adjustment assembly 42 for adjusting the elastic force of the elastic member 41, and various different embodiments can be realized.

[0053] 1 to 4 again. In the first embodiment, the adjustment assembly 42 includes a first adjustment member 421a. The first adjustment member 421a is inserted through the second end 32. At the same time, the first adjustment member 421a is connected to the support seat 1. The elastic member 41 is fitted onto the first adjustment member 421a. One end of the elastic member 41 contacts one end of the first adjustment member 421a remote from the second end 32. The other end of the elastic member 41 contacts one side of the second end 32 remote from the support seat 1. Both ends of the elastic member 41 are located between the first adjustment member 421a and the second end 32. The length of the elastic member 41 can be changed by changing the distance between the first adjustment member 421a and the second end 32, thereby varying the elasticity of the return assembly 4 and satisfying different users' operating strength requirements for the joystick 21. The first adjustment member 421a may have any structure that can achieve adjustment, and the elastic member 41 may be a compression spring.

[0054] Specifically, after the first adjustment member 421a is inserted into the second end 32, the first adjustment member 421a is threadedly connected to the support seat 1. When the first adjustment member 421a rotates relative to the support seat 1, the length of the elastic member 41 is changed, thereby varying the elasticity of the return assembly 4 and satisfying different user requirements for the operating strength of the joystick 21. In addition, the threaded connection between the first adjustment member 421a and the support seat 1 makes adjustment, replacement, and installation easier. Here, the first adjustment member 421a may be a fixing screw or a fixing screw.

[0055] When the first adjustment member 421a rotates in one direction relative to the support seat 1, the length of the elastic member 41 increases, and the deformation amount of the elastic member 41 decreases, at this time, the operating strength of the joystick 21 decreases. When the first adjustment member 421a rotates in another direction relative to the support seat 1, the length of the elastic member 41 decreases, and the deformation amount of the elastic member 41 increases, at this time, the operating strength of the joystick 21 increases. Therefore, by adjusting the length of the elastic member 41, it is possible to meet different users' requirements for operating strength of the joystick 21.

[0056] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 42 includes a first connecting member 422a. The first connecting member 422a is disposed within the support seat 1. The first adjustment member 421a and the first connecting member 422a are connected by screws. By disposing the first connecting member 422a within the support seat 1 and connecting the first adjustment member 421a and the first connecting member 422a by screws, the stability of adjustment of the first adjustment member 421a is improved and the risk of the first adjustment member 421a coming off the support seat 1 is reduced.

[0057] The first connecting member 422a may be fitted or locked into the support seat 1. An internal thread (not shown) is provided on the inner wall of the first connecting member 422a. An external thread (not shown) is provided on the outer wall of the first adjusting member 421a. The internal thread and the external thread are connected by a screw connection. The first connecting member 422a may be a fixing nut. That is, the fixing nut, fixing screw, and compression spring cooperate to achieve different elastic forces of the return assembly 4. This not only simplifies operation, but also has a simple structure, is easy to replace, and reduces costs.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 7, 8, and 9. Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. Figure 9 is an exploded schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. In the second embodiment, the adjustment assembly 42 includes a second adjustment member 421b and a pressing block 422b. The second adjustment member 421b is inserted through one end of the pressing block 422b and connected to the second end 32. One end of the elastic member 41 is connected to the other end of the pressing block 422b. The other end of the elastic member 41 is connected to the support seat 1. Since the second adjustment member 421b is connected to the second end 32, by adjusting the height of the second adjustment member 421b relative to the second end 32 or the press block 422b, the tightness of the press block 422b can be adjusted and the length of the elastic member 41 can be changed, thereby varying the elasticity of the return assembly 4 and thus meeting the different operating strength requirements of different users for the joystick 21.

[0059] Specifically, when the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 is increased by adjusting the second adjustment member 421b, the pulling force of the elastic member 41 increases, thereby increasing the elasticity of the return assembly 4 and thereby increasing the operating strength of the joystick 21. When the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 is decreased, the pulling force of the elastic member 41 decreases, thereby decreasing the elasticity of the return assembly 4 and thereby decreasing the operating strength of the joystick 21. That is, by adjusting the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 using the second adjustment member 421b to change the magnitude of the elasticity of the elastic member 41, different users' operating strength requirements for the joystick 21 can be met. The second adjustment member 421b may be a fixing screw, a fixing screw, or the like, but is not limited thereto. The elastic member 41 may be a tension spring.

[0060] In one embodiment, the second adjustment member 421b is threadedly connected to the second end 32. The second adjustment member 421b can be easily adjusted at the second end 32 via the thread, and the distance between the pressing block 422b and the second end 32 can be changed to change the elastic force of the elastic member 41, thereby varying the elastic force of the return assembly 4 to meet different users' operating strength requirements for the joystick 21. In addition, the threaded connection between the second adjustment member 421b and the second end 32 makes adjustment easier, and facilitates replacement and installation.

[0061] In one embodiment, the pressing block 422b is disposed on one side of the second end 32, away from the support seat 1. Alternatively, the pressing block 422b is disposed between the second end 32 and the support seat 1. This allows the pressing block 422b to be flexibly positioned according to actual conditions, thereby making the structural design of the joystick device 10 more flexible. At the same time, as the position of the pressing block 422b varies, the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 also varies, which in turn causes the degree of elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 to vary, thereby increasing the versatility of the operating strength of the joystick device 10.

[0062] The position of the pressing block 422b can be determined according to actual circumstances. For example, in one specific embodiment, the pressing block 422b is disposed on one side of the second end 32, away from the support seat 1. Because the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 is relatively large, the elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 is increased, and the elastic force of the elastic member 41 is greater. For example, in another specific embodiment, the pressing block 422b is disposed between the second end 32 and the support seat 1. Because the distance between the pressing block 422b and the support seat 1 is relatively small, the elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 is reduced, and the elastic force of the elastic member 41 is smaller.

[0063] In one embodiment, the return assembly 4 includes a second connecting member 424b. The second connecting member 424b is disposed within the second end 32. The second adjustment member 421b is threadably connected to the second connecting member 424b. By disposing the second connecting member 424b within the second end 32 and threadably connecting the second adjustment member 421b and the second connecting member 424b, the stability of adjustment of the second adjustment member 421b is improved and the risk of the second adjustment member 421b coming off the second end 32 is reduced.

[0064] The second connecting member 424b may be fitted or locked into the second end 32. An internal thread (not shown) is provided on the inner wall of the second connecting member 424b. An external thread (not shown) is provided on the outer wall of the second adjusting member 421b. The internal thread and the external thread are connected by a threaded connection. The second connecting member 424b may be a fixing nut. That is, the fixing nut, fixing screw, and tension spring cooperate to achieve different elastic forces of the return assembly 4. This not only simplifies operation, but also has a simple structure, is easy to replace, and reduces costs.

[0065] In one embodiment, the second adjustment member 421b is provided with at least one snap ring 423b. The at least one snap ring 423b is located between the press block 422b and the second end 32. The snap ring 423b limits the position of the press block 422b along the axial direction of the second adjustment member 421b. When the second adjustment member 421b is driven and moved by the second end 32, the second adjustment member 421b is limited in position by the snap ring 423b, causing the press block 422b to move. This allows the press block 422b to move stably along with the second adjustment member 421b, and further, the press block 422b elastically deforms the elastic member 41.

[0066] The number of the snap rings 423b may be one, two, three or more, etc., and is not limited thereto. For example, in this embodiment, the number of snap rings 423b is two. The snap rings 423b may be integrally formed with the second adjustment member 421b, or may be fitted externally to the second adjustment member 421b, and is not limited thereto.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, the second adjustment member 421b is threaded through the second end 32. A first snap ring 4231b and a second snap ring 4232b are fitted around the second adjustment member 421b. The first snap ring 4231b is located between the press block 422b and the second end 32. The second snap ring 4232b is located at one end of the second adjustment member 421b remote from the press block 422b. When the second adjustment member 421b is adjusted at the second end 32 by a screw, the first snap ring 4231b moves with the movement of the second adjustment member 421b. The first snap ring 4231b acts as a position limiter for the press block 422b. Due to the position limiter, the press block 422b moves with the movement of the second adjustment member 421b. The second snap ring 4232b also moves with the movement of the second adjustment member 421b. When the second snap ring 4232b moves to one side surface away from the press block 422b of the second end 32, the second snap ring 4232b limits its position to the one side surface away from the press block 422b of the second end 32. The second adjustment member 421b cannot continue to be adjusted along the direction from the second snap ring 4232b to the first snap ring 4231b.

[0068] In this manner, the pressing block 422b can stably move in accordance with the movement of the second end 32, elastically deforming the elastic member 41 and varying the strength of the operation required to operate the joystick device 10. In addition, because the second snap ring 4232b can limit the position relative to the second end 32, the second adjustment member 421b can have the maximum adjustment distance when adjusted in the direction from the second snap ring 4232b to the first snap ring 4231b, and can provide feedback of the received force to the user. This reduces the possibility of structural damage to the joystick device 10 due to excessive adjustment.

[0069] Furthermore, the distance from the first snap ring 4231b to the second snap ring 4232b is greater than the thickness of the second end 32. This allows the adjustment distance of the second adjustment member 421b to be the difference between the distance from the first snap ring 4231b to the second snap ring 4232b and the thickness of the second end 32, making it easy to elastically deform the elastic member 41 by adjusting the position of the second adjustment member 421b.

[0070] In one embodiment, a limit post 321 is provided at the second end 32. The limit post 321 is parallel to the extension direction of the second adjustment member 421b. The limit post 321 penetrates the press block 422b. By providing the limit post 321, the second adjustment member 421b can be guided by the limit post 321 when adjusting the second end 32, and the second adjustment member 421b can be adjusted stably and uniformly at the second end 32. As a result, the adjustment of the magnitude of the operating strength required to operate the joystick device 10 can be more continuous and stable.

[0071] In one embodiment, a first hooking groove 4221b is provided at one end of the press block 422b remote from the second adjustment member 421b. A second hooking groove 13 is provided in the support seat 1. One end of the elastic member 41 is hooked into the first hooking groove 4221b. The other end of the elastic member 41 is hooked into the second hooking groove 13. With the above-mentioned installation, installation can be completed simply by hooking the elastic member 41, facilitating replacement and maintenance.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 10, 11, and 12. Figure 10 is a structural schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the third embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. Figure 12 is an exploded schematic diagram of the third embodiment of a joystick device of the present application. In the third embodiment, the adjustment assembly 42 includes a third adjustment member 421c and a drive member (not shown). The third adjustment member 421c is spaced apart from the second end 32. The elastic member 41 is disposed between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32. One end of the elastic member 41 is connected to one side of the third adjustment member 421c that is remote from the second end 32. The other end of the elastic member 41 is connected to one side of the second end 32 that faces the third adjustment member 421c. The drive member is disposed on one side of the third adjustment member 421c that is remote from the elastic member 41. The driving member can drive the third adjustment member 421c to move toward or away from the second end 32 in order to change the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41.

[0073] The manner in which the driving member drives the third adjustment member 421c to move toward or away from the second end 32 can be determined according to actual circumstances. For example, in one specific embodiment, the driving member contacts the third adjustment member 421c. The driving member pushes the third adjustment member 421c, thereby moving the third adjustment member 421c toward the second end 32. For example, in another specific embodiment, the driving member is provided with a first magnetic member (not shown). The third adjustment member 421c is provided with a second magnetic member (not shown). The magnetic poles of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member repel each other. The driving member changes the position of the first magnetic member toward the second end 32. The second magnetic member moves in the same direction under the action of magnetic repulsion, moving the third adjustment member 421c toward the second end 32.

[0074] When the third adjustment member 421c moves in a direction toward the second end 32, the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32 decreases. The degree of elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 increases. The elastic force that the elastic member 41 applies to the second end 32 increases. When the third adjustment member 421c is adjusted in a direction away from the second end 32, the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32 decreases. The elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 decreases. The elastic force that the elastic member 41 applies to the second end 32 decreases.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the driving member drives the third adjustment member 421c to move closer to or away from the second end 32, thereby changing the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32 and changing the degree of elastic deformation of the elastic member 41, thereby varying the elastic force of the return assembly 4 and meeting the different operating strength requirements of different users for the joystick 21.

[0076] The connection manner between the elastic member 41, the third adjusting member 421c, and the second end 32 can be set according to the actual situation, for example, by abutting, welding, adhesive connection, etc., and is not limited here.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 13 and 14. Figure 13 is a side view of a third embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. Figure 14 is a structural schematic diagram of a rotary cap in the third embodiment of the joystick device of the present application. Referring to Figures 10, 11, and 12, in one embodiment, the driving member includes a rotary cap 422c. The rotary cap 422c is rotatable relative to the third adjustment member 421c. The magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 changes as the third adjustment member 421c approaches or moves away from the second end 32. When the rotary cap 422c rotates in one direction, the rotary cap 422c acts on the third adjustment member 421c, which moves toward the second end 32, shortening the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32. At this time, the length of the elastic member 41 shortens, the degree of elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 increases, and the elastic force of the elastic member 41 increases. When the rotary cover 422c rotates in the other direction, the rotary cover 422c acts on the third adjustment member 421c, and the third adjustment member 421c moves away from the second end 32, increasing the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32. At this time, the length of the elastic member 41 increases, the degree of elastic deformation of the elastic member 41 decreases, and the elastic force of the elastic member 41 decreases.

[0078] With the above-mentioned arrangement, the rotary cover 422c rotates to drive the third adjustment member 421c toward or away from the second end 32, thereby changing the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32. This allows the magnitude of the elasticity of the elastic member 41 to be easily adjusted, and the elasticity of the return assembly 4 to be varied, thereby meeting the different operating strength requirements of different users for the joystick 21.

[0079] In one embodiment, a rail groove 4221c is provided on one side of the rotary cover 422c facing the third adjustment member 421c. The third adjustment member 421c can slide within the rail groove 4221c. At the same time, the third adjustment member 421c can abut within the rail groove 4221c.

[0080] Specifically, when the third adjustment member 421c abuts against a first position (not shown) of the rail groove 4221c, the rail groove 4221c generates a first acting force on the third adjustment member 421c. When the rotating cover 422c rotates, the rail groove 4221c moves relative to the third adjustment member 421c. The third adjustment member 421c abuts against a second position (not shown) of the rail groove 4221c. At this time, the rail groove 4221c generates a second acting force on the third adjustment member 421c. The first acting force and the second acting force are different. By rotating the rotary cover 422c, the third adjustment member 421c abuts at different positions on the rail groove 4221c, changing the distance by which the third adjustment member 421c approaches or moves away from the second end 32, thereby changing the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41, and thereby varying the elastic force of the return assembly 4 to meet the different operating strength requirements of different users for the joystick 21.

[0081] With the above-mentioned installation, by arranging the rail groove 4221c to cooperate with the third adjustment member 421c, not only can the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 be changed, but the structure is simple and easy to implement, and replacement and repair are also easy.

[0082] The shape of the rail groove 4221c can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in one specific embodiment, the rotating cover 422c rotates clockwise, and the vertical distance from the rail groove 4221c to the plane of one side of the second end 32 facing the rotating cover 422c gradually decreases. For example, in another specific embodiment, the rotating cover 422c rotates counterclockwise, and the vertical distance from the rail groove 4221c to the plane of one side of the second end 32 facing the rotating cover 422c gradually increases.

[0083] In one embodiment, the rail groove 4221c includes several bottom surfaces 4222c and several inclined surfaces 4223c. The bottom surfaces 4222c and the inclined surfaces 4223c are connected in an alternating order. The inclined surfaces 4223c are arranged at an angle along the rotation direction of the rotating cover 422c.

[0084] Specifically, the inclined surface 4223c is inclined with respect to the elastic direction of the elastic member 41. The bottom surface 4222c is perpendicular to the elastic direction of the elastic member 41. The third adjustment member 421c may abut against the inclined surface 4223c or the bottom surface 4222c. When the third adjustment member 421c abuts against the inclined surface 4223c, the inclined surface 4223c acts as a guide slide for the third adjustment member 421c, and the acting force of the rotating cover 422c on the third adjustment member 421c changes as the third adjustment member 421c slides. When the third adjustment member 421c abuts against the bottom surface 4222c, the acting force of the rotating cover 422c on the third adjustment member 421c does not change as the third adjustment member 421c slides.

[0085] With the above-described arrangement, the rotating cover 422c changes the force acting on the third adjustment member 421c by the slope 4223c, thereby varying the height at which the third adjustment member 421c approaches or moves away from the second end 32. When it is necessary to maintain a constant height position of the third adjustment member 421c, the rotating cover 422c can abut the third adjustment member 421c against the bottom surface 4222c, so that the third adjustment member 421c is not pushed and slid by the elastic force of the elastic member 41, and the third adjustment member 421c can remain stable. This allows the rotating cover 422c to adjust or maintain the distance between the third adjustment member 421c and the second end 32, making it easier to set the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 and more flexible to adjust the strength of the operation to operate the joystick device 10.

[0086] The number and distribution of the bottom surfaces 4222c and the inclined surfaces 4223c can be set according to actual circumstances and are not limited herein. The number of bottom surfaces 4222c may be two, three, four, or more than four. The number of inclined surfaces 4223c may be one, two, three, or more than three. For example, in one specific embodiment, the rail groove 4221c includes a first bottom surface 4222c, a second bottom surface 4222c, and an inclined surface 2111a. Along the direction from the rotary cover 422c to the second end 32, the distance from the first bottom surface 4222c to the second end 32 is longer than the distance from the second bottom surface 4222c to the second end 32. One end of the inclined surface 2111a is connected to the first bottom surface 4222c. The other end of the inclined surface 2111a is connected to the second bottom surface 4222c.

[0087] In one embodiment, an abutment block 4211c is provided on one side of the third adjustment member 421c facing the rotating cover 422c. The rotating cover 422c rotates relative to the abutment block 4211c. This allows the third adjustment member 421c to smoothly abut and slide against the rotating cover 422c, making it easier for the rotating cover 422c to drive the third adjustment member 421c to move closer to or farther away from the second end 32, improving the user experience of the joystick device 10.

[0088] The material of the contact block 4211c may be the same as or different from the material of the third adjustment member 421c, and is not limited here. For example, the contact block 4211c may be made of a material that is more wear-resistant than the third adjustment member 421c, and the specific material is not limited here. The shape of the contact block 4211c can be set according to actual conditions.

[0089] For example, in one specific embodiment, the abutment block 4211c is hemispherical, which makes it easier to rotate the rotating cover 422c, reduces frictional resistance, and improves the user experience of the joystick device 10. For example, in another specific embodiment, the abutment block 4211c is rectangular, which makes the abutment between the abutment block 4211c and the rail groove 4221c more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the abutment block 4211c may have other shapes, and this is not limited thereto.

[0090] In one embodiment, the third adjustment member 421c includes guide members (not shown). Several guide members are provided at the second end 32. The guide members can function as a guide. When the driving member drives the third adjustment member 421c to move toward the second end 32, the guide members limit the compression direction of the elastic member 41, making the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 more stable, and thus improving the stability of the operating strength of the joystick device 10.

[0091] The guide member may have any structure as long as it can guide the guide member, and the specific structure is not limited. For example, in one specific embodiment, the third adjustment member 421c includes a guide post 4212c. The guide post 4212c penetrates the second end 32. The elastic member 41 is fitted onto the guide post 4212c. When the driving member drives the guide post 4212c to penetrate the second end 32, the guide post 4212c compresses the elastic member 41, thereby changing the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41. The arrangement of the guide post 4212c makes the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 more stable, thereby improving the stability of the operating strength of the joystick device 10.

[0092] In another specific embodiment, the third adjustment member 421c includes a guide frame (not shown). The guide frame penetrates the second end 32. The elastic member 41 is located within the guide frame. When the driving member drives the guide frame to penetrate the second end 32, the guide frame compresses the elastic member 41, thereby changing the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41. The arrangement of the guide frame makes the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 more stable, thereby improving the stability of the operating strength of the joystick device 10.

[0093] This allows the guide post 4212c or the guide frame to function as a guide, preventing bias in the magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic member 41 and improving the stability of the operating strength of the joystick device 10. The abutment block 4211c may be disposed on one side of the guide post 4212c, away from the second end 32. Alternatively, the abutment block 4211c may be disposed on one side of the guide frame, away from the second end 32.

[0094] In one embodiment, a driving unit 4224c is provided on one side of the driving member away from the third adjustment member 421c. The driving member acts on the third adjustment member 421c by being moved by the driving unit 4224c. The specific structure of the driving unit 4224c is not particularly limited as long as it can move the driving member.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 7, 9, 10 and 12 again. In one embodiment, the joystick device 10 includes a swing arm assembly 2 and a joystick 21. The joystick 21 is disposed on the swing arm assembly 2. The joystick 21 may be detachable or fixed to the swing arm assembly 2. For example, in this embodiment, the joystick 21 is fixedly connected to the swing arm assembly 2. When a user operates the joystick 21, the swing arm assembly 2 rotates in accordance with the tilt operation of the joystick 21 to meet different angle rotation requirements of the joystick 21.

[0096] In one embodiment, the swing arm assembly 2 includes a first swing arm 22, a second swing arm 23, and the joystick 21. The pressing portion 211 is disposed at one end of the first swing arm 22 facing the bias member 3. The first swing arm 22 rotates with the second swing arm 23 along a first direction X, i.e., the first swing arm 22 is rotatable relative to the second swing arm 23 along the first direction X. The second swing arm 23 rotates with the support base 1 along a second direction Y, i.e., the second swing arm 23 is rotatable relative to the support base 1 along the second direction Y. The first swing arm 22 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second swing arm 23. The first direction X and the second direction Y are disposed perpendicular to each other. In this manner, the first swing arm 22 and the second swing arm 23 are rotatable in the first direction X and the second direction Y around a common center of rotation.

[0097] In one embodiment, the second swing arm 23 is formed with an open mounting cavity 233. Both ends of the first swing arm 22 rotate within the mounting cavity 233, allowing the first swing arm 22 to rotate with the second swing arm 23 along the first direction X. The opening is used to allow the joystick 21 to pass through.

[0098] Specifically, the joystick 21 includes a connection portion 212. The connection portion 212 is connected to one end of the first swing arm 22 that is remote from the bias member 3. The connection portion 212 and the pressing portion 211 are spaced apart from each other and disposed at the upper and lower ends of the first swing arm 22. The connection portion 212 may be detachable from or fixed to the first swing arm 22. The connection portion 212 protrudes from the surface of the second swing arm 23 through an opening. By integrating the connection portion 212 and the pressing portion 211 of the joystick 21 into the first swing arm 22, movement of the swing arm assembly 2 is made more convenient, rotational friction is reduced, and the number of assembly parts is reduced. The connection portion 212 also facilitates subsequent attachment of structures such as a handle or a related case, but this is not limited thereto.

[0099] In one embodiment, first fixed shafts 221 are provided at both ends of the first swing arm 22. Both ends of the first swing arm 22 rotate directly with the second swing arm 23 via the first fixed shafts 221, thereby reducing frictional resistance between the first swing arm 22 and the second swing arm 23. Both ends of the second swing arm 23 are provided with second fixed shafts 231. Both ends of the second swing arm 23 rotate directly with the support seat 1 via the second fixed shafts 231, thereby reducing frictional resistance between the second swing arm 23 and the support seat 1. In other words, by arranging the first fixed shafts 221 and the second fixed shafts 231, it is possible to reduce frictional resistance between the swing arm assembly 2 and the support seat 1, thereby making the return of the joystick 21 more accurate and reducing the possibility of an increase in the dead zone of the joystick 21.

[0100] Of course, in other embodiments, the swing arm assembly 2 may further include two first bearing members 222. The first bearing member 222 is fitted within the second swing arm 23. The first bearing member 222 is fitted onto the corresponding first fixed shaft 221. Cooperation between the first fixed shaft 221 and the first bearing member 222 allows the first swing arm 22 to rotate relative to the second swing arm 23 along the first direction X. The swing arm assembly 2 includes two second bearing members 232. The second bearing members 232 are fitted within the support seat 1. The second bearing members 232 are fitted onto the corresponding second fixed shaft 231. Cooperation between the second fixed shaft 231 and the second bearing members 232 allows the second swing arm 23 to rotate relative to the support seat 1 along the second direction Y.

[0101] In the above manner, the swing arm assembly 2 simultaneously adds two first bearing members 222 and two second bearing members 232, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation of the first swing arm 22 relative to the second swing arm 23 and the smoothness of rotation of the second swing arm 23 relative to the support seat 1 and effectively reducing frictional resistance, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation of the swing arm assembly 2. Because the swing arm assembly 2 generates almost no additional frictional resistance with the support seat 1, the return of the joystick 21 becomes more accurate and the possibility of the dead zone of the joystick 21 becoming wider is reduced. That is, the pressing portion 211 and the first end 31 are in direct contact with each other, and the swing arm assembly 2 has the first bearing member 222 fitted onto the first fixed shaft 221 and the second bearing member 232 fitted onto the second fixed shaft 231. The combined effect of these two elements further effectively reduces frictional resistance, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation of the joystick 21 and reducing the possibility of the dead zone of the joystick 21 becoming wider.

[0102] In one embodiment, the joystick device 10 includes a circuit board 7. The joystick device 10 may be provided with at least two two-dimensional Hall assemblies 81 or at least one three-dimensional Hall assembly (not shown). When the joystick device 10 includes at least two two-dimensional Hall assemblies 81, a first magnet is provided on at least one end of the first swing arm 22. The circuit board 7 includes first Hall sensors. The number of first Hall sensors corresponds to the number of first magnets. The first Hall sensors cooperate with the first magnets. When the first swing arm 22 rotates the first magnets, the distance from the first magnets to the first Hall sensors changes, which changes the magnetic flux sensed by the first Hall sensors. That is, a change in magnetic flux occurs. The change in magnetic flux is sensed by the first Hall sensors and converted into a voltage change, which outputs different signals to realize different functions of increasing and decreasing the power.

[0103] A second magnet is provided on at least one of the two ends of the second swing arm 23, and a second Hall sensor is provided on the circuit board 7. The number of second Hall sensors corresponds to the number of second magnets. The second Hall sensors and the second magnets cooperate with each other. The principle is the same as the principle of cooperation between the first Hall sensors and the first magnets, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0104] In another embodiment, when the joystick device 10 includes at least one three-dimensional Hall sensor, a third magnet is provided on one side of the second end 32, facing away from the joystick 21. The third magnet and the three-dimensional Hall sensor are both located on the central axis of the joystick 21 when it is centered. The three-dimensional Hall sensor can detect the three-dimensional coordinates of three different positions of the third magnet in space. Note that the two-dimensional Hall sensor 81 and the three-dimensional Hall sensor described above are both common means for those skilled in the art and are not limited herein.

[0105] Please refer to FIGS. 2, 5, and 6 again. In actual operation, the bias member 3 rotates in the form of a lever. Therefore, when the joystick 21 rotates in different directions, the moment received by the joystick 21 may be different, resulting in different values ​​of force felt by the user. Therefore, the inclined surface 2111a of the pressing portion 211 can be changed to ensure that the moment received by the joystick 21 is consistent when the joystick 21 rotates in different directions. The specific installation manner of the inclined surface 2111a can be determined according to actual requirements and is not limited herein. In addition, the support seat 1 may be integrally formed. Alternatively, the support seat 1 may be formed by joining multiple parts. That is, the formation manner of the support seat 1 is not limited herein.

[0106] Compared with the prior art, the joystick device of this embodiment includes a support base, a joystick, a bias member, and a reset assembly. The joystick is provided with a pressing portion. The bias member has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other. The first end contacts the pressing portion. The reset assembly is arranged at the second end. When the pressing portion presses the first end of the bias member, the second end of the bias member is offset, and the reset assembly drives the second end of the bias member to reset. By locating the reset assembly at the second end of the bias member rather than at the first end of the bias member using the above method, coaxial placement of the joystick and the reset mechanism is avoided, reducing the difficulty of assembling the joystick device. Even if the reset assembly breaks down, it can be easily disassembled and replaced. In addition, the bias member is mounted on the support seat in a lever-like manner, the reset assembly is located at the second end of the bias member, and the pressing portion of the joystick directly contacts the first end of the bias member, eliminating the need to position the bias member coaxially with the reset mechanism. This reduces the contact area between the bias member and the support seat, reducing frictional resistance between the bias member and the support seat, improving the accuracy of joystick operation and further improving the user experience of the joystick device. At the same time, it is not necessary to modify the structure of the joystick itself.
