Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the field of contactless sensing, and in particular to joysticks and terminal devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditional joysticks typically use contact resistance. Specifically, carbon brushes generate different resistance values ​​at different positions on the carbon film to calculate the joystick's real-time status. However, due to the sensing mode in which the carbon brushes and carbon film are in contact with each other, the carbon brushes and carbon film can wear out after multiple uses, leading to inaccurate sensing and even failure to operate. Furthermore, the carbon brushes and carbon film are precision components, which means they are expensive to manufacture. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application will be described in detail below based on the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, where not inconsistent, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. In the following description, many details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application, but the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art of this application. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more associated items.

[0027] In each embodiment of the present application, for convenience of description, the term "connection" used in the specification and claims of the present application is not limited to physical or mechanical connection, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper", "lower", "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationships also change accordingly.

[0028] 1 and 2, a terminal device 200 according to an embodiment of the present application may be a game machine, a handle, a knob button, etc. The terminal device 200 includes a joystick 100 and a processor 210, and the joystick 100 is electrically connected to the processor 210. The handle 40 of the joystick 100 is displaceable. The processor 210 is used to acquire and calculate displacement information of the handle 40.

[0029] 3, 4, 5, and 6, the joystick 100 includes a housing 10, a handle 40, a first stopper 50, a second stopper 60, an elastic member 70, a magnet 20, and a magnetic sensor 30. The handle 40 can swing in 360° directions, and the first stopper 50 is fixedly connected to the handle 40 and swings in conjunction with the swing of the handle 40. The second stopper 60 cooperates with the housing 10 to hold the handle 40 swingably without moving. A swing fulcrum is determined by the point of contact between the second stopper 60 and the handle 40.

[0030] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the first stopper 50 is defined as the X-axis, and the extension direction of the second stopper 60 is defined as the Y-axis. The X-axis direction is perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. The direction perpendicular to both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is defined as the Z-axis. The plane defined by the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is the XY plane. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the first stopper 50 and the extension direction of the second stopper 60 may be at a different angle as long as the respective functions can be realized.

[0031] The housing 10 includes a base 11 and a cover 13. The base 11 and the cover 13 form an accommodation space 15. The first stopper 50, the second stopper 60, and the elastic member 70 can be accommodated in the accommodation space 15. The housing 10 is made of a magnetically permeable material, which can reduce or avoid interference of an external magnetic field with the magnet 20 and the magnetic sensor 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, a recess 112 (see FIG. 4) is formed in the surface of the base 11 that is remote from the cover 13. A magnetic sensor 30 is fixed to this recess 112. The magnet 20 is fixed to the handle 40, which is displaceable relative to the base 11, so that the magnetic sensor 30 detects the position of the magnet 20, and the processor 210 electrically connected to the magnetic sensor 30 calculates the position of the handle 40.

[0033] Specifically, when the handle 40 is in its initial state, the magnetic sensor 30 acquires the initial magnetic field component of the magnet 20. After the handle 40 swings relative to the housing 10, a relative displacement occurs between the magnet 20 and the magnetic sensor 30. The magnetic sensor 30 recognizes the difference between the magnetic field components in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions of the magnet 20 and the initial magnetic field component. The amount of displacement of the handle 40 from its initial state is calculated and obtained by the processor 210 circumscribed by the magnetic sensor 30, thereby acquiring posture information of the magnet 20, and further analyzing and acquiring posture information of the handle 40.

[0034] In some embodiments, the mounting position of the magnetic sensor 30 is not limited to being provided in the recess 112, and the magnetic sensor 30 may be located on the surface of the base 11 facing the cover 13, or on the surface or inside of the cover 13. In some embodiments, the positions of the magnetic sensor 30 and the magnet 20 may be interchanged. That is, the magnetic sensor 30 may be fixedly connected to the handle 40, and the magnet 20 may be fixedly connected to the housing 10, as long as relative displacement between the magnetic sensor 30 and the magnet 20 can be achieved. However, providing the magnetic sensor 30 on the base 11 and corresponding to the handle 40 is advantageous for calculation and recognition by the processor 210.

[0035] The cover 13 includes a top wall 131, a first side wall 133, a third side wall 135, a second side wall 137, and a fourth side wall 139. The first side wall 133, the third side wall 135, the second side wall 137, and the fourth side wall 139 are adjacent to each other in sequence and extend along the periphery of the top wall 131 toward the base 11. That is, the first side wall 133 is disposed opposite the second side wall 137, and the third side wall 135 is disposed opposite the fourth side wall 139.

[0036] A first through-hole 1312 is formed in the ceiling wall 131 and penetrates the ceiling wall 131. The opening direction of the first through-hole 1312 is along the Z-axis direction. The first through-hole 1312 is in communication with the storage space 15 so that the handle 40 penetrates the ceiling wall 131 and extends into the storage space 15. A first opening 1332, a third opening 1352, a second opening 1372, and a fourth opening 1392 are formed in the first side wall 133, the third side wall 135, the second side wall 137, and the fourth side wall 139, respectively. The first opening 1332 is provided corresponding to the second opening 1372. The opening direction of the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372 is along the X-axis direction. The third opening 1352 is provided corresponding to the fourth opening 1392. The opening direction of the third opening 1352 and the fourth opening 1392 is along the Y-axis direction. The first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372 are used to restrict the first stopper 50. The third opening 1352 and the fourth opening 1392 are used to restrict the second stopper 60.

[0037] The first opening 1332, the third opening 1352, the second opening 1372, and the fourth opening 1392 all have an inverted U-shape with a larger opening at the bottom. That is, the opening width of the first opening 1332, the third opening 1352, the second opening 1372, and the fourth opening 1392 at one end facing the base 11 is larger than the opening width of the other end away from the base 11. The inverted U-shapes of the first opening 1332, the third opening 1352, the second opening 1372, and the fourth opening 1392 facilitate assembly of the joystick 100 and also provide space for the first stopper 50 and the second stopper 60 to move while allowing the handle 40 to flexibly swing 360°.

[0038] The handle 40 includes an operating portion 41, a lever portion 43, and a fixed portion 45, which are fixedly connected in sequence. That is, the lever portion 43 connects the operating portion 41 and the fixed portion 45. The operating portion 41 may be circular, rectangular, cuboid, or any other shape that facilitates manual operation by the user. In this embodiment, the operating portion 41 is circular, and its cross-sectional dimensions are larger than those of the lever portion 43 and the fixed portion 45. When no external force is applied to the handle 40, the handle 40 extends along the Z-axis direction and passes through the first through-hole 1312. However, the operating portion 41 is located outside the storage space 15 formed by the housing 10, making it easy for the user to operate the handle 40. The lever portion 43 is inserted into the storage space 15 through the first through-hole 1312 in the ceiling wall 131. In this embodiment, the magnet 20 is located inside the lever portion 43 and fixedly connected to it. The fixing portion 45 is entirely housed in the housing space 15 and is intended to be fixedly connected to the first stopper 50. Here, the fixing portion 45 has a flattened oval spherical shape.

[0039] The first stopper 50 includes a first main body portion 51 and first locking portions 53 provided on both sides of the first main body portion 51. The first locking portions 53 extend in the X-axis direction. The first main body portion 51 corresponds to the handle 40. The first main body portion 51 has an accommodation groove 515 that matches the fixing portion 45. The fixing portion 45 is received in the accommodation groove 515 to fix and support the handle 40. In this embodiment, the accommodation groove 515 is a groove having a substantially flattened oval spherical shape. When the fixing portion 45 is received in the accommodation groove 515, the handle 40 is prevented from rotating relative to the first stopper 50, resulting in ineffective movement and affecting the user experience. In some embodiments, the handle 40 can be fixed and supported in other ways, such as by using an adhesive.

[0040] The first locking portions 53 are pillar-shaped and extend along opposite ends of the first main body portion 51. The first main body portion 51 is positioned within the accommodation space 15, and the first locking portions 53 located at both ends of the first main body portion 51 are positioned within the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372. A first gap 535 is defined between the surface of the first main body portion 51 that connects with the first locking portions 53 and the first side wall 133 and / or the second side wall 137 so that the first stopper 50 has space to move within the accommodation space 15. The combination of the first opening 1332, the second opening 1372, and the first gap 535 provides space for the first stopper 50 to move within the XY plane.

[0041] The second stopper 60 includes a second main body portion 61 and second locking portions 63 provided on both sides of the second main body portion 61. The second locking portions 63 extend along the Y-axis direction. The second main body portion 61 has a longitudinal, e.g., rectangular, second through-hole 615. The lever portion 43 of the handle 40 is inserted through the second through-hole 615. The fixing portion 45 has a flattened ellipsoid shape, which is advantageous for inserting the handle 40 into the second through-hole 615. The second through-hole 615 has a width in the X-axis direction and a length in the Y-axis direction. The length dimension is greater than the width dimension and is greater than the dimension of the fixing portion 45 along the X-axis direction, making it easy for the fixing portion 45 to pass through the second through-hole 615. The width dimension is slightly larger than the diameter of the lever portion 43 and smaller than the dimension of the fixed portion 45 along the Z-axis direction, making it easier for the fixed portion 45 to abut against the second main body portion 61 after passing through the second through-hole 615 and rotating. The second main body portion 61 is formed in a generally concave shape that is recessed away from the surface of the fixed portion 45. This allows the first main body portion 51 to be accommodated in the space formed by the recess of the second main body portion 61, and the second main body portion 61 to be connectable to the elastic member 70. The second locking portion 63 is a columnar body that extends along opposite ends of the second main body portion 61. The second main body portion 61 is located within the accommodation space 15. The second locking portions 63 located at both ends of the second main body portion 61 are located within the third opening 1352 and the fourth opening 1392. A second gap 635 is provided between the surface of the second main body 61 that connects with the second locking portion 63 and the third side wall 135 and / or the fourth side wall 139 so that the second stopper 60 has space to move within the accommodation space 15. The third opening 1352, the fourth opening 1392, and the second gap 635 cooperate with each other to provide the second stopper 60 with space to move within the XY plane.

[0042] The elastic member 70 is located on the surface of the base 11 facing the cover 13, and is housed in the housing space 15. One side of the elastic member 70 is connected to the base 11, and the other side is connected to the first stopper 50 and the second stopper 60. In this embodiment, the elastic member 70 is a compression spring.

[0043] Specifically, the first main body portion 51 of the first stopper 50 is connected to the elastic member 70, and the second main body portion 61 of the second stopper 60 is connected to the elastic member 70, which is in a compressed state. Due to the elastic action of the elastic member 70, the first locking portion 53 of the first stopper 50 can be locked into the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372, and the second locking portion 63 of the second stopper 60 can be locked into the third opening 1352 and the fourth opening 1392, respectively. Meanwhile, by abutting the side of the fixing portion 45 away from the base 11 against the second main body portion 61, the handle 40 can be held perpendicular to the XY plane and can extend along the Z-axis direction. The contact point where the fixing portion 45 connects with the second main body portion 61 determines the swing fulcrum of the handle 40. In this embodiment, there are two contact points, and the center of the two contact points can be considered as the swing fulcrum.

[0044] The swing motion of the handle 40 along the Z-axis direction is restricted by the positional relationship between the first stopper 50 and the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372, and the positional relationship between the second stopper 60 and the second through-hole 615, the third opening 1352, and the fourth opening 1392. Here, as the handle 40 rotates in conjunction with the movement of the second stopper 60 while swinging, the fulcrum of the swing motion also changes accordingly in three-dimensional space.

[0045] When an external force acts on the operating portion 41 of the handle 40 in the X-axis direction, the fixed portion 45 of the handle 40 is fixedly connected to the first stopper 50, and the swing fulcrum (where the fixed portion 45 is located toward the lever portion 43) is located between the operating portion 41 and the fixed portion 45. When the first stopper 50 is movably engaged with the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372, the first stopper 50 swings in the direction opposite to the X-axis, deforming the elastic member 70. When the external force is no longer acting, the elastic member 70 elastically returns, and the first stopper 50 returns to its initial position by the elastic member 70, simultaneously moving the handle 40 to return to its initial position. During the process of deformation of the elastic member 70, the second stopper 60 is displaced in conjunction with the deformation of the elastic member 70.

[0046] When an external force acts on operating portion 41 of handle 40 in the Y-axis direction, fixed portion 45 of handle 40 is fixedly connected to first stopper 50, so that the swing fulcrum is located between operating portion 41 and fixed portion 45, causing first stopper 50 to tend to move in the Y-axis direction, first opening 1332 and second opening 1372 form an inverted U-shape with a larger lower opening, first engaging portion 53 has space for movement along the Y-axis, first stopper 50 swings in the direction opposite to the Y-axis, and handle 40 moves first stopper 50 along the Y-axis direction, allowing handle 40 to swing along the Y-axis direction as well. The movement of first stopper 50 deforms elastic member 70. When the external force ceases to act, elastic member 70 elastically returns, causing first stopper 50 to return to its initial position by elastic member 70, and simultaneously, handle 40 returns to its initial position in conjunction with it. In the process of deformation of the elastic member 70, the second stopper 60 is displaced in conjunction with the deformation.

[0047] When an external force acts on the operating part 41 of the handle 40 in a direction perpendicular to the Z axis and in any direction other than the X and Y axes, the fixed part 45 of the handle 40 is fixedly connected to the first stopper 50, the swing fulcrum is located between the operating part 41 and the fixed part 45, and the first stopper 50 moves in the direction opposite to the external force. Cooperation between the first stopper 50, the first opening 1332, the second opening 1372, and the first gap 535 allows the first stopper 50 to move within the XY plane, allowing the handle 40 to swing in the direction of the external force. When the external force ceases to act, the elastic member 70 elastically returns, returning the first stopper 50 to its initial position and simultaneously moving the handle 40 back to its initial position. As the elastic member 70 deforms, the second stopper 60 also displaces.

[0048] As described above, the first stopper 50, the second stopper 60, the housing 10, and the elastic member 70 interact with each other to allow the handle 40 to make a 360° swing motion with the Z-axis direction as its axis.

[0049] In addition, in some aspects, when the extension direction of the first stopper 50 and the extension direction of the second stopper 60 are at a different angle, the orientations of the first opening 1332, the third opening 1352, the second opening 1372, and the fourth opening 1392 in the housing 10, which cooperate with the first stopper 50 and the second stopper 60, can also be adjusted accordingly.

[0050] The procedure for attaching the joystick 100 provided in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0051] In step S1, the cover 13 and the handle 40 are assembled as shown in Fig. 7. The fixing portion 45 of the handle 40 is inserted through the first through-hole 1312 of the top wall 131. At this time, the fixing portion 45 is located in the space formed by the top wall 131, the first side wall 133, the third side wall 135, the second side wall 137, and the fourth side wall 139. The magnet 20 is located inside the handle 40.

[0052] In step S2, the second stopper 60 is assembled as shown in Fig. 8. The fixing portion 45 is inserted into the second through-hole 615 of the second stopper 60, and the second locking portion 63 is engaged with the third opening 1352 and the fourth opening 1392. After the fixing portion 45 has been inserted into the second through-hole 615 of the second stopper 60, the handle 40 is rotated 90° so that the second stopper 60 extends in the Y-axis direction and the flat fixing portion 45 extends in the X-axis direction.

[0053] 9, the first stopper 50 is assembled. The first stopper 50 extends along the X-axis direction, the first locking portion 53 is engaged in the first opening 1332 and the second opening 1372, and the fixing portion 45 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 515 of the first stopper 50. That is, the extension directions of the first stopper 50 and the second stopper 60 are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] In step S4, the elastic member 70 is assembled as shown in Fig. 10. Specifically, the elastic member 70 is fastened to the first main body portion 51 of the first stopper 50 and the second main body portion 61 of the second stopper 60.

[0055] In step S5, the base 11 is assembled as shown in Fig. 11. The base 11 and the elastic member 70 are fixedly connected, and the elastic member 70 is compressed. By fixedly connecting the base 11 and the cover 13, the handle 40, the first stopper 50, the second stopper 60, and the elastic member 70 are accommodated in the accommodation space 15 formed by the base 11 and the cover 13.

[0056] In step S6, as shown in FIG. 12, the magnetic sensor 30 is fixed in the recess 112 of the base 11 to form the joystick 100.

[0057] In the joystick 100 provided by the present application, the interaction between the housing 10, first stopper 50, second stopper 60, and elastic member 70 allows the handle 40 to swing in a predetermined direction, and when an external force on the handle 40 is no longer acting on it, the elastic member 70 causes the handle 40 to return to its initial state. The magnet 20 and magnetic sensor 30 are respectively provided on the housing 10 and the handle 40, and the non-contact sensing mode of the magnet 20 and magnetic sensor 30 fundamentally replaces the conventional contact sensing mode using a carbon brush and carbon film, thereby eliminating the risk of carbon material wear and reducing the number of precision parts such as carbon brushes and carbon films used. Furthermore, the cooperation between the magnet 20 and magnetic sensor 30 provides high sensing sensitivity.

[0058] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the technical solution of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solution of the present application will not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present application.
