Game Controller Rocker Mechanism With Electronic Damping Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for adjusting the damping of game controller rockers are complicated, making it inconvenient for users to customize the damping to their preferences.
Innovation Solution
A rocker mechanism with an electronic control assembly that allows for direct rotation of an adjusting cover to move an adjusting plate closer to or away from the rocker body, adjusting the damping by changing the distance between the damping adjuster and the rocker body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional manual adjustment methods are used for rocker damping, then the damping can be adjusted according to user preferences, but the adjustment process becomes complicated and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional manual mechanical adjustment method with an electronic control system. The electronic control assembly receives control signals and automatically adjusts the damping force by controlling the electromagnetic damping component, eliminating the need for complicated manual mechanical adjustments while maintaining damping adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service damping adjustment where users can simply input their preferred damping level through an electronic interface, and the system automatically performs the adjustment without requiring users to manually manipulate complex mechanical components. The electronic control assembly autonomously executes the adjustment based on user preferences.
2Ease of operation
If electronic control assembly is added to automate damping adjustment, then adjustment convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic control assembly is integrated into the existing rocker mechanism structure, where the electromagnetic damping component serves multiple functions: it provides damping force, enables electronic control, and integrates with the mechanical rocker structure. This multi-functionality approach adds automation capability while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the electronic control assembly with the mechanical damping structure by integrating the electromagnetic component directly into the rocker mechanism. The control assembly, damping component, and mechanical structure are combined into a unified system, reducing the need for separate independent components and minimizing complexity increase.
