[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] The rocker device provided by the present application is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is an exploded view of an embodiment of a rocker device according to the present application; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a rocker device according to the present application; and Figure 3 is a structural view of an embodiment of a rocker device according to the present application. This application provides a rocker device 10. Rocker device 10 includes a rocker 1, a biasing member 2, an adjustable reset assembly 3, and a toggle member 4. Rocker 1 is provided with a pressing portion 11. Biasing member 2 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 disposed opposite each other. First end 21 contacts pressing portion 11. Second end 22 is deflectable. Adjustable reset assembly 3 is disposed at second end 22. Adjustable reset assembly 3 applies a reset force to second end 22. Adjustable reset assembly 3 is used to reset second end 22 of biasing member 2. Rocker 1 rotates within toggle member 4. Toggle member 4 acts on adjustable reset assembly 3 to adjust the reset force.

[0033] Specifically, the adjustable reset component 3 continuously applies a reset force to the second end 22. The reset force keeps the second end 22 in the reset position. The second end 22 drives the first end 21 to remain in the reset position, thereby keeping the rocker 1 in the reset position. When the user pushes the rocker 1, the external force applied by the user needs to overcome the reset force of the adjustable reset component 3. When the external force is greater than the reset force, the rocker 1 tilts under the action of the external force. The pressing portion 11 of the rocker 1 squeezes the first end 21 and drives the second end 22 to deflect. When the toggle member 4 changes the reset force of the adjustable reset component 3, the reset force that the user needs to overcome when pushing the rocker 1 changes. The rocker 1 forms different force feedback.

[0034] Through this arrangement, the reset force applied by the adjustable reset assembly 3 to the second end 22 can be adjusted by the toggle member 4, thereby varying the reset force transmitted from the second end 22 to the first end 21. This in turn changes the force feedback received by the rocker 1 from the first end 21 when the rocker 1 is operated. The operating force of the rocker device 10 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the diverse user experience requirements.

[0035] The specific manner in which the toggle member 4 adjusts the reset force of the adjustable reset assembly 3 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in one specific embodiment, the adjustable reset assembly 3 drives the second end 22 to reset by an elastic force. The toggle member 4 can change the position of the adjustable reset assembly 3 so that the adjustable reset assembly 3 moves closer to or further away from the second end 22. When the adjustable reset assembly 3 moves closer to or further away from the second end 22, the elastic force applied by the adjustable reset assembly 3 to the second end 22 changes with the distance. For example, in another specific embodiment, the adjustable reset assembly 3 drives the second end 22 to reset by a magnetic repulsive force. The toggle member 4 can change the magnetic field strength of the adjustable reset assembly 3. When the magnetic field strength of the adjustable reset assembly 3 changes, the magnetic repulsive force between the adjustable reset assembly 3 and the second end 22 changes.

[0036] In one embodiment, the adjustable reset assembly 3 includes an adjusting member 31. The adjusting member 31 is spaced apart from the second end 22. The adjusting member 31 is lockably engaged with the toggle member 4.

[0037] Specifically, the user can operate the toggle member 4 to rotate, and the toggle member 4 can drive the adjustment member 31 to move through the meshing structure. When the adjustment member 31 moves, the reset force of the adjustable reset assembly 3 changes. The adjustment member 31 can be locked or unlocked to the toggle member 4. When the adjustment member 31 is locked with the toggle member 4, the adjustment member 31 cannot move closer to or away from the second end 22. The reset force of the adjustable reset assembly 3 remains unchanged. When the adjustment member 31 is unlocked from the toggle member 4, the adjustment member 31 can move closer to or away from the second end 22. The reset force of the adjustable reset assembly 3 changes with the distance between the adjustment member 31 and the second end 22.

[0038] With this arrangement, the toggle member 4 can engage and drive the adjustment member 31, thereby varying the reset force of the adjustable reset assembly 3. This allows the rocker device 10 to stably and efficiently adjust the operating force. Furthermore, the adjustment member 31 and the toggle member 4 can be locked after the desired reset force is achieved, maintaining the reset force at a fixed level and ensuring stable operation of the rocker device 10.

[0039] The locking method of the adjusting member 31 and the toggle member 4 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in one specific embodiment, a locking structure is provided at one end of the adjusting member 31. The locking structure allows the adjusting member 31 to only perform rotational movement and cannot directly translate in the axial direction. The adjusting member 31 can be locked in the axial direction by the locking structure. In another specific embodiment, the toggle member 4 is provided with a locking structure. The locking structure can limit the toggle member 4 so that it cannot rotate or move in the axial direction. When the toggle member 4 cannot rotate, the adjusting member 31 cannot rotate due to the meshing action. At the same time, the adjusting member 31 is limited in the axial direction to the toggle member 4. The position of the adjusting member 31 is locked.

[0040] Continuing with Figures 1 to 3, in one embodiment, a first meshing portion 41 is disposed on the outer periphery of the toggle member 4. A second meshing portion 3111 is disposed on the outer periphery of the adjustment member 31. The axis of the toggle member 4 and the axis of the adjustment member 31 can be arranged parallel to each other. The first meshing portion 41 meshes with the second meshing portion 3111. Thus, the toggle member 4 and the adjustment member 31 are meshed through their outer peripheries, allowing them to be arranged non-coaxially, providing a flexible structural design for the rocker device 10.

[0041] The first meshing portion 41 and the second meshing portion 3111 may be engaged with straight teeth or helical teeth, etc., without limitation herein. When the first meshing portion 41 and the second meshing portion 3111 are engaged with straight teeth, the toggle member 4 can drive the adjusting member 31 to rotate. During rotation, the adjusting member 31 can move closer to or further away from the second end 22 via a structure such as a thread. When the first meshing portion 41 and the second meshing portion 3111 are engaged with helical teeth, the toggle member 4 can drive the adjusting member 31 to rotate. The adjusting member 31 can be directly driven closer to or away from the second end 22 by the toggle member 4 via the helical teeth.

[0042] Furthermore, the adjusting member 31 includes an adjusting portion 311 and a connecting portion 312. The adjusting portion 311 is provided at one end of the connecting portion 312. The second end 22 is passed through the other end of the connecting portion 312. The adjusting portion 311 is spaced from the second end 22. The second engaging portion 3111 is provided on the outer periphery of the adjusting portion 311.

[0043] Through the above arrangement, when the toggle member 4 drives the adjusting portion 311 to move through the first engaging portion 41, the connecting portion 312 can guide the movement of the adjusting portion 311, the adjusting portion 311 can be more stably approached or moved away from the second end 22, and the rocker device 10 can more evenly adjust the reset force.

[0044] The connection method between the adjusting portion 311 and the connecting portion 312 includes, but is not limited to, welding, bonding, etc. As in this embodiment, the adjusting portion 311 and the connecting portion 312 are integrally formed.

[0045] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3. In one embodiment, the rocker device 10 includes a support seat 5. The support seat 5 is used to provide support force for the entire rocker device 10. The connecting portion 312 passes through the second end 22 and is threadedly connected to the support seat 5. Through the above arrangement, when the toggle member 4 drives the adjusting portion 311 and the connecting portion 312 to rotate through engagement, since the connecting portion 312 is threadedly connected to the support seat 5, the connecting portion 312 converts the rotational motion into a motion in the direction of approaching or moving away from the support seat 5, and the adjusting portion 311 can move closer to or away from the second end 22. When the adjusting portion 311 stops rotating, the thread of the connecting portion 312 can be naturally locked, so that the adjusting portion 311 cannot be pulled axially and move, and the rocker device 10 can conveniently adjust the operating force.

[0046] In one embodiment, the adjustable reset assembly 3 includes a reset member 32. The reset member 32 is disposed between the adjusting member 31 and the second end 22. The reset member 32 applies a reset force to the second end 22. One end of the reset member 32 is connected to the adjusting member 31. The other end of the reset member 32 is connected to the second end 22.

[0047] When the adjusting member 31 is close to the second end 22, the restoring force applied by the restoring member 32 to the second end 22 increases. When the adjusting member 31 is away from the second end 22, the restoring force applied by the restoring member 32 to the second end 22 decreases.

[0048] Through the above arrangement, the reset member 32 is directly arranged between the adjusting member 31 and the second end 22. The adjustable reset assembly 3 can directly apply a reset force to the second end 22 through the reset member 32, and the reset force can be changed by adjusting the state of the reset member 32. The rocker device 10 is easy to adjust.

[0049] The reset member 32 may be configured to include but not limited to a spring, a magnet, etc., as long as it can apply a reset force to the second end 22 .

[0050] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6. Figure 4 is a first structural diagram of an embodiment of the upper cover of the present application; Figure 5 is a second structural diagram of an embodiment of the upper cover of the present application; and Figure 6 is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the toggle member of the present application. In conjunction with Figures 1 to 3, in one embodiment, the rocker device 10 includes a support base 5 and an upper cover 6. The support base 5 is used to provide support force for the entire rocker device 10. The upper cover 6 is disposed on the support base 5. The upper cover 6 and the toggle member 4 are coaxial and sleeved with the rocker 1. The toggle member 4 is located on the side of the upper cover 6 away from the biasing member 2. The toggle member 4 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 6.

[0051] Through the above arrangement, the toggle can be located at a higher position of the rocker device 10 structure, which is conducive to the user directly operating the toggle member 4. At the same time, the user can directly rotate the toggle member 4 to adjust the reset force, and the rocker device 10 is easier to adjust the operating force.

[0052] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the toggle member 4 is provided with a shift protrusion 42. The shift protrusion 42 protrudes from the surface of the toggle member 4. A plurality of shift slots 61 are spaced apart on the inner wall of the upper cover 6. The shift slots 61 are sized to accommodate the shift protrusions 42. The shift protrusions 42 are releasably embedded in the shift slots 61.

[0053] When the toggle member 4 rotates, the shift protrusion 42 embedded in the shift slot 61 is released. The shift protrusion 42 rotates with the toggle member 4. The shift protrusion 42 can then be rotated to another shift slot 61 and re-engaged. The position of the shift slot 61 can correspond to the position of the adjusting member 31. For example, when the shift protrusion 42 is embedded in different shift slots 61, the adjustable reset assembly 3 can have different reset forces.

[0054] With this arrangement, when the user rotates the toggle member 4 to adjust the reset force, the interlocking relationship between the shift protrusion 42 and the shift slot 61 provides force feedback, allowing the user to determine the current reset force based on the interlocking state of the shift protrusion 42 and the shift slot 61. The rocker device 10 can have multiple operating force levels for easy adjustment.

[0055] The number of the gear protrusions 42 can be one, two, three or more, etc., which is not limited here. The number of the gear slots 61 can be one, two, three or more, etc., and the number of the gear slots 61 is greater than or equal to the number of the gear protrusions 42.

[0056] The spacing between each two adjacent shift slots 61 can be the same or different. The shift protrusions 42 and the shift slots 61 are positioned to match each other. The toggle member 4 can be rotated to at least a specific position so that each shift protrusion 42 is embedded in the shift slot 61.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 6. In a specific embodiment, a receiving groove 62 is provided on the side of the upper cover 6 facing away from the biasing member 2. The toggle member 4 is installed in the receiving groove 62. The receiving groove 62 includes a bottom wall 622 and a side wall 621. The side wall 621 surrounds the bottom wall 622 to form the receiving groove 62. The driving member is attached to the bottom wall 622 and the side wall 621. A plurality of gear slots 61 are spaced apart on the side wall 621. A supporting protrusion 6221 is provided on the bottom wall 622 between each adjacent two gear slots 61. The supporting protrusion 6221 protrudes from the bottom wall 622 in a direction away from the biasing member 2. The supporting protrusion 6221 supports the toggle member 4. The toggle member 4 contacts the supporting protrusion 6221 but does not contact the bottom wall 622.

[0058] With the above arrangement, the toggle member 4 is mounted and rotated within the receiving groove 62, providing a more stable installation. Furthermore, the toggle member 4 is supported by the support protrusion 6221, and there is only a small contact area between the toggle member 4 and the support protrusion 6221. Therefore, when the toggle member 4 rotates, it does not have to generate surface friction with the entire bottom wall 622, resulting in less rotational friction and smoother adjustment of the operating force of the rocker device 10.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the shift groove 61 includes a first shift groove 611 and a second shift groove 612. The first shift groove 611 and the second shift groove 612 are spaced apart. The first shift groove 611 and the second shift groove 612 are both arranged to extend axially along the upper cover 6. A limiting wall 6111 is provided at one end of the first shift groove 611 facing away from the biasing member 2. When the shift protrusion 42 is embedded in the first shift groove 611, the shift protrusion 42 is limited axially by the limiting wall 6111 along the upper cover 6. When the shift protrusion 42 is embedded in the second shift groove 612, the shift protrusion 42 can move axially along the upper cover 6.

[0060] Through the above arrangement, the toggle member 4 can be installed in the upper cover 6 through the second gear slot 612 and can be locked to the upper cover 6 through the first gear slot 611 , so the toggle member 4 is easy to install.

[0061] In one embodiment, the toggle member 4 is provided with a first rotation limiter 43. The first rotation limiter 43 is provided on the outer periphery of the toggle member 4. The upper cover 6 is provided with a second rotation limiter 63 and a third rotation limiter 64. The second rotation limiter 63 and the third rotation limiter 64 are provided on the upper cover 6 at intervals.

[0062] The adjusting member 31 has a first position and a second position. The first position may be the position where the adjusting member 31 is farthest from the second end 22. The second position may be the position where the adjusting member 31 is closest to the second end 22. When the adjusting member 31 moves to the first position, the first rotation limiter 43 is restrained by the second rotation limiter 63. The toggle member 4 cannot rotate further. When the adjusting member 31 moves to the second position, the first rotation limiter 43 is restrained by the third rotation limiter 64. The toggle member 4 cannot rotate further.

[0063] Through the above arrangement, the second rotation limiter 63 and the third rotation limiter 64 can respectively limit the first rotation limiter 43, so that the toggle member 4 can only rotate within the range from the second rotation limiter 63 to the third rotation limiter 64. This prevents the toggle member 4 from excessively rotating and thereby damaging the adjustable reset assembly 3, and thus the rocker device 10.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 6. In a specific embodiment, the rocker device 10 also includes a rocker cap 7. The rocker cap 7 can be used to decorate and protect the rocker 1. The rocker cap 7 is mounted on the rocker 1. The rocker cap 7 is located on the side of the upper cover 6 away from the biasing member 2. A avoidance groove 71 is formed on the side of the rocker cap 7 facing the upper cover 6. A limiting protrusion 711 is circumferentially provided on the inner wall of the avoidance groove 71. The limiting protrusion 711 extends obliquely from the inner wall of the avoidance groove 71 toward the upper cover 6. An abutment 65 is circumferentially provided on the side of the upper cover 6 facing the rocker cap 7. When the rocker 1 is tilted to a preset angle, the limiting protrusion 711 abuts against the abutment 65. The preset angle refers to the maximum offset angle when the rocker 1 is operated. The preset angle can be 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, etc., and is not limited here.

[0065] With this arrangement, when the rocker 1 is pushed to a predetermined angle, the limiting protrusion 711 abuts against the abutment portion 65, preventing the rocker 1 from being pushed further, thereby limiting the position of the rocker 1. Furthermore, because the limiting protrusion 711 is located on the inner wall of the avoidance groove 71, the edge of the rocker cap 7 does not contact the upper cover 6, making the edge of the rocker cap 7 less susceptible to wear and tear, thereby increasing the service life of the rocker device 10.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 7 to 8. Figure 7 is an exploded schematic diagram of another embodiment of the rocker device of the present application; Figure 8 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of another embodiment of the rocker device of the present application. In combination with Figures 1 to 6, in another embodiment, the rocker device 10 further includes a support seat 5, an upper cover 6 and a limiting ring 8. The support seat 5 is used to provide support force for the entire rocker device 10. The upper cover 6 and the limiting ring 8 are both arranged on the support seat 5. The upper cover 6, the limiting ring 8 and the toggle member 4 are coaxial and sleeved with the rocker 1. The limiting ring 8 is located on the side of the upper cover 6 away from the biasing member 2. The toggle member 4 is located on the side of the limiting ring 8 away from the biasing member 2. The limiting ring 8 is fixed relative to the support seat 5. The toggle member 4 is rotatably connected to the limiting ring 8. Through the above arrangement, the toggle member 4 can be installed through the limiting ring 8, and the installation method is flexible.

[0067] The connection between the limiting ring 8 and the toggle member 4 can be a snap connection along the axial direction, etc., as long as the toggle member 4 can be rotated and fixed along the axial direction, which is not limited here.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, a shift protrusion 42 may be provided on the outer periphery of the retaining ring 8. A shift groove 61 may be provided on the inner wall of the toggle member 4. The shift protrusion 42 is releasably embedded in the shift groove 61. When the toggle member 4 rotates relative to the retaining ring 8, the shift protrusion 42 is disengaged from the shift groove 61. The shift protrusion 42 can then be reengaged with another shift groove 61 as the toggle member 4 rotates. Thus, the structure associated with the toggle member 4 and the retaining ring 8 can also achieve a shift adjustment effect. The user can determine the current reset force based on the embedding state of the shift protrusion 42 and the shift groove 61, making the rocker device 10 easy to adjust.

[0069] In one embodiment, the rocker device 10 further includes a rocker cap 7. The rocker cap 7 can be used to decorate and protect the rocker 1. The rocker cap 7 is mounted on the rocker 1. The rocker cap 7 is disposed between the upper cover 6 and the limiting ring 8. When the rocker 1 deflects, the rocker cap 7 moves with the rocker 1 between the upper cover 6 and the limiting ring 8. The limiting ring 8 includes a limiting surface 81 surrounding the rocker 1. When the rocker 1 tilts to a preset angle, the outer periphery of the rocker cap 7 abuts the limiting surface 81. The preset angle refers to the maximum deflection angle of the rocker 1 when it is operated.

[0070] Through the above arrangement, when the rocker 1 is pushed to a preset angle, the outer surface of the rocker cap 7 abuts against the limiting ring 8, so that the rocker 1 cannot be pushed further, thereby limiting the rocker 1. The limiting structure is simple and the rocker device 10 is compact.

[0071] When the rocker 1 is tilted, it can be restrained not only by the retaining ring 8 described in the above embodiment, but also by abutting against the toggle member 4, upper cover 6, and other structures. For example, in one embodiment, when the rocker 1 is tilted to a predetermined angle, the outer periphery of the rocker cap 7 abuts the inner wall of the toggle member 4 facing the rocker 1. In another embodiment, when the rocker 1 is tilted to a predetermined angle, the outer periphery of the rocker cap 7 abuts the inner wall of the upper cover 6 facing the rocker 1.

[0072] The present application provides the following beneficial effects: Unlike the prior art, the present application provides a rocker device 10 comprising a rocker 1, a biasing member 2, an adjustable reset assembly 3, and a toggle member 4. The rocker 1 is provided with a pressing portion 11. The biasing member 2 comprises a first end 21 and a second end 22, which are arranged opposite each other. The first end 21 contacts the pressing portion 11. The second end 22 can be deflected. The adjustable reset assembly 3 is disposed at the second end 22 and is used to drive the second end 22 of the biasing member 2 to reset. The rocker 1 rotates within the toggle member 4. The toggle member 4 acts on the adjustable reset assembly 3 to adjust the reset force. Through this arrangement, the reset force applied by the adjustable reset assembly 3 to the second end 22 can be adjusted by the toggle member 4, thereby varying the reset force transmitted from the second end 22 to the first end 21. Consequently, the force feedback received by the rocker 1 from the first end 21 when the rocker 1 is operated changes accordingly. The operating force of the rocker device 10 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the diverse user experience requirements.
