[0011] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application will be described, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals throughout the drawings indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to help interpret the present application.

[0012] This embodiment provides a game pad (for example, a game pad having a movable interface) that is connectable to a device waiting for connection and that assists in operating the device waiting for connection.

[0013] As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the game pad includes a first console 1 and a second console 2 that are provided facing each other along a first direction (i.e., the X direction in the drawings), and a connection plate 3 that connects the first console 1 and the second console 2, and the connection plate 3 is used for placing a device waiting to be connected. The first console 1 includes a console body 11, an interface module 12, and a horizontal movement module 13. The interface module 12 is provided in the console body 11, and an opening 111 is opened in the console body 11. One end of the interface module 12 can be connected to the device waiting to be connected after passing through the opening 111 of the console body 11, so that an electrical connection between the device waiting to be connected and the game pad is realized, which is convenient for a user to operate the device waiting to be connected by operating the game pad instead. In one embodiment, one end of the interface module 12 is configured to be connected to the device waiting to be connected, and the other end of the interface module 12 is communicatively connected to a circuit board in the main body 11.

[0014] The horizontal movement module 13 comprises a first bounce block 131 and a first elastic material 132 arranged sequentially along a first direction, the first bounce block 131 and the first elastic material 132 are both arranged in the console body 11, and the first end of the first bounce block 131 is connected to the interface module 12, and the second end of the first bounce block 131 is connected to the first end of the first elastic material 132. At the same time, the second end of the first elastic material 132 abuts against the inner wall of the console body 11, so that the first bounce block 131 has a tendency to move closer to the interface module 12 all the time, and therefore the first bounce block 131 can move the interface module 12 toward the outside of the console body 11 to ensure that some interface modules 12 can be positioned outside the console body 11. At the same time, the movement of the interface module 12 along the first direction allows the game pad to be adapted to a variety of sizes of devices waiting to be connected, and facilitates the installation of the devices waiting to be connected, and when the devices waiting to be connected are connected to or separated from the interface module 12, the interface module 12 moving along the first direction can have a buffering function, which can prevent the interface module 12 and the devices waiting to be connected from being damaged when they are rigidly connected to each other. Preferably, the devices waiting to be connected are smart touch screen mobile phones, and the interface module 12 is a terminal with a USB interface. The devices waiting to be connected may also be other kinds of devices.

[0015] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the first ejection block 131 has a first position regulating part 1311 and a second position regulating part 1312 arranged opposite each other along the second direction (i.e., the Y direction in the drawings), and both ends of the interface module 12 along the second direction are connected to the first position regulating part 1311 and the second position regulating part 1312, respectively, and one end of the first position regulating part 1311 and the second position regulating part 1312 along the first direction can both abut against the side wall of the opening 111 of the console main body 11. Therefore, the first position regulating part 1311 and the second position regulating part 1312 can regulate the position of some of the interface modules 12 within the console main body 11, thereby preventing the interface module 12 from being moved so as to be detached from the first console 1 when pulling out a device waiting to be connected, and preventing damage to the first console 1.

[0016] In one embodiment, a rotating portion 121 is provided on both ends of the interface module 12 along the second direction, and the interface module 12 is rotatably mounted on the first flip block 131 by the rotating portion 121. Therefore, when using the gamepad, the user can first rotate the interface module 12 and then connect the interface module 12 to a device waiting to be connected, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing and removing the device waiting to be connected.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first position restricting portion 1311 and the second position restricting portion 1312 are both provided with a slide groove 1313 extending along the vertical direction, and the rotating portion 121 is provided in the slide groove 1313, so that the interface module 12 can slide along the vertical direction in the slide groove 1313 by the first position restricting portion 1311 and the second position restricting portion 1312, so that the vertical movement of the interface module 12 can make the game pad applicable to devices with different thicknesses and facilitate the installation of the devices to be connected. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical length of the opening 111 of the console body 11 is greater than the vertical length of the interface module 12, so that the interface module 12 can move in the vertical direction and is convenient for the rotation of the interface module 12. At the same time, the vertical length of the opening 111 of the console body 11 can limit the vertical movement range of the interface module 12. Among them, the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction are provided so that each pair of them is perpendicular to each other.

[0018] The game pad in this embodiment is highly versatile, and the position of the interface module 12 on the first console 1 can be flexibly changed by moving the interface module 12 along the first direction, moving it along the vertical direction, and rotating the interface module 12 itself, to meet the needs of installing different types of devices waiting to be connected.

[0019] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first console 1 further includes a vertical movement module 14, which is provided in the console main body 11 and located below the interface module 12. At the same time, the driving end of the vertical movement module 14 is configured to abut against the interface module 12 and drive the interface module 12 to move upward along the vertical direction. Therefore, the interface module 12 can be moved upward all the time by driving the vertical movement module 14 so that its upper end abuts against the inner wall of the console main body 11. When installing a device waiting to be connected, the user does not need to manually hold the interface module 12, which reduces the difficulty of installing and removing the device waiting to be connected.

[0020] In one embodiment, the vertical movement module 14 includes a second bounce block 141, a second elastic material 142, and a support seat 143, the support seat 143 is provided on the console body 11, the second bounce block 141 and the support seat 143 are provided opposite each other along the vertical direction, and the first end of the second bounce block 141 abuts against the interface module 12, the second end of the second bounce block 141 abuts against the first end of the second elastic material 142, and at the same time, the second end of the second elastic material 142 abuts against the support seat 143, so that the second bounce block 141 has a tendency to move toward the interface module 12 all the time, and therefore the second bounce block 141 can push up the interface module 12 to realize the upward movement of the interface module 12. The support seat 143 has a support wall 1431, the lower end of the first flipping block 131 abuts against the support wall 1431, and the first flipping block 131 can slide along the first direction on the support wall 1431, and the support wall 1431 can support the first flipping block 131. At the same time, the support wall 1431 and the inner wall of the console body 11 can regulate the position of the first flipping block 131 in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring stability when the first flipping block 131 slides on the support wall 1431 and preventing the occurrence of a prying phenomenon. Preferably, the first elastic member 132 and the second elastic member 142 are both springs. The first elastic member 132 and the second elastic member 142 may be other parts having elasticity.

[0021] 3 and 6, the top end of the second flip block 141 is provided with an inclined locking groove 1411, and the interface module 12 can be locked into the locking groove 1411 after being rotated, so that the interface module 12 can be locked into the locking groove 1411 by first rotating the interface module 12, which makes it convenient for the user to install the device to be connected, and after the device to be connected is placed on the connection plate 3, the interface module 12 can be automatically restored by being rotated. Preferably, the included angle between the locking groove 1411 and the horizontal plane is less than 90 degrees, so that after the interface module 12 is locked into the locking groove 1411, the included angle between the interface module 12 and the horizontal plane is also less than 90 degrees, which angle range can accommodate most installation angles when the user inserts the device to be connected.

[0022] The game pad according to the present application includes a first console and a second console arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and a connection plate connecting the first console and the second console, the connection plate being used for placing a device waiting to be connected. The first console includes a console body, an interface module, and a horizontal movement module. The interface module is arranged in the console body, and an opening is provided in the console body, and one end of the interface module can be connected to the device waiting to be connected after passing through the opening of the console body, thereby realizing an electrical connection between the device waiting to be connected and the game pad, which is convenient for a user to operate the device waiting to be connected by operating the game pad instead. The horizontal movement module includes a first flipping block and a first elastic material arranged in sequence along a first direction, the first flipping block and the first elastic material are both arranged in the console body, and the first end of the first flipping block is connected to the interface module, and the second end of the first flipping block is connected to the first end of the first elastic material, and the second end of the first elastic material abuts against the inner wall of the console body, so that the first flipping block has a tendency to move toward the interface module all the time, and therefore the first flipping block can move the interface module toward the outside of the console body to ensure that some of the interface modules can be located outside the console body. At the same time, the movement of the interface module along the first direction can make the game pad adaptable to a plurality of sizes of devices waiting to be connected, and facilitate the installation of the devices waiting to be connected, and when the devices waiting to be connected contact or separate from the interface module, the interface module moving along the first direction can have a buffer function, and can avoid the interface module and the device waiting to be connected from being damaged when they are rigidly connected.
