Game Console Handle Attachment Mechanism with Elastic Limiting Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game consoles with detachable handle parts suffer from instability during assembly, as the male end of the rail assembly can be damaged by accidental drops and lacks a limiting structure to prevent derailment under external forces.
Innovation Solution
The game console design incorporates a main body with sliding blocks, handle parts with sliding rails, limiting modules with buckling blocks, and push buttons. The sliding blocks and rails are securely fastened with elastic elements and limiting structures, enhancing stability and allowing for easy detachment of the handle parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If the male end of the rail assembly is designed to be detachable, then the ease of repair is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because the male end is susceptible to damage from accidental drops and derailment under external forces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-positioning the limiting structure (limiting groove and limiting protrusion) and elastic element (spring) in the rail assembly before assembly. The limiting protrusion is预先 formed on the male end of the rail assembly, and the spring is pre-installed in the limiting groove. When the handle part is assembled, these pre-positioned structures automatically engage to prevent derailment and excessive displacement, ensuring reliable connection without requiring additional operational steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by incorporating an elastic element (spring) in the limiting groove that acts as a cushioning mechanism. The spring is positioned to absorb impact forces and prevent direct collision between the male end of the rail assembly and external surfaces. This pre-installed cushioning structure protects the detachable connection from damage during accidental drops or external forces, maintaining reliability while preserving ease of repair.
2Ease of operation
If the male end of the rail assembly protrudes beyond the side wall for easy assembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the object-affected harmful factors worsen because the protruding male end is more susceptible to collision damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by incorporating an elastic element (spring) in the limiting groove that acts as a cushioning mechanism. The spring is positioned to absorb impact forces and prevent direct collision between the male end of the rail assembly and external surfaces. This pre-installed cushioning structure protects the detachable connection from damage during accidental drops or external forces, maintaining reliability while preserving ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by designing the limiting structure (limiting groove and limiting protrusion) that pre-establishes constraints on the male end of the rail assembly. The limiting protrusion is预先 formed on the male end, and the limiting groove is pre-formed on the housing, creating a pre-established mechanical constraint that prevents excessive displacement and derailment. This preliminary constraint structure counteracts the harmful effect of the protruding male end being vulnerable to damage, while still allowing easy assembly operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design significantly improves the assembling stability of the game console by preventing accidental detachment of the handle parts and reducing the risk of damage from external forces, while also allowing for easy detachment and reassembly.
Implementation Method 1
The at least one elastic element elastically abuts between the at least one limiting structure and a front inner wall of the accommodating groove of the at least one sliding block
Implementation Method 2
The first docking portion and the second docking portion are magnets which are capable of being magnetically attracted to each other, the male end of the rail assembly is docked with the female end of the rail assembly by the magnetic attraction between the first docking portion and the second docking portion

AI summary
A game console includes a main body, two sliding blocks, two handle parts, two sliding rails, two limiting modules and two push buttons. Two outer surfaces of the main body are recessed inward to form two fixing grooves. The two sliding blocks are fixed in the two fixing grooves. Each sliding block has a base portion. The base portion is recessed inward to form an accommodating groove. The accommodating groove extends rearward to form a limiting hole. The two handle parts are detachably mounted to two opposite sides of the main body. The two sliding rails are disposed to two side surfaces of the two handle parts. The two limiting modules are mounted to the two sliding blocks. Each limiting module includes a limiting structure and an elastic element. The limiting structure has a buckling block. The buckling block is limited in the limiting hole.
