Solution Overview
Problem
Game controllers require a button structure that can convert pressing actions into rotational movements of electronic components to facilitate efficient electrical connection and disconnection with a circuit board, especially as electronic components need to connect and disconnect in different directions due to evolving electronic technology.
Innovation Solution
A button structure comprising a button body, a base frame, a sliding part, a drive part, and a rotating part with an elastic component, where the sliding part slides along the base frame to drive a guide pillar and rotate the electronic components parallel to the circuit board, enabling electrical connection and disconnection through coordinated mechanical actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a button structure converts pressing actions into rotational movements of electronic components, then the electrical connection and disconnection efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated button structure. The button body, sliding part, drive part, and rotating part are merged into one cohesive mechanism that simultaneously achieves linear motion, rotational motion, and electrical connection/disconnection, thereby improving efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The button structure is designed as a multi-functional mechanism that can both convert pressing actions to rotational movements and provide electrical connection/disconnection. This universal design allows a single structure to perform multiple operations, improving productivity while managing complexity through functional integration
2Adaptability or versatility
If the button structure uses multiple parts (button body, base frame, sliding part, drive part, rotating part) to convert pressing actions into rotational movements, then the adaptability to different electronic component requirements is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The button structure is divided into distinct functional segments: button body for input, sliding part for linear motion conversion, drive part for motion transfer, and rotating part for final rotational output. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while providing adaptability to different electronic component requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The button structure incorporates dynamic elements including the sliding part that moves linearly, the drive part that converts linear motion to rotational motion, and the rotating part that provides rotational movement. This dynamic design enables the structure to adapt to different connection requirements by changing its motion state

AI summary
A button structure includes a base frame longitudinally defining an arc-shaped guide slot, a sliding part transversely defining a guide channel and longitudinally slidably mounted on the base frame, a rotating part defining a guide pillar and rotatably mounted under the base frame with the guide pillar being inserted in the guide slot and the guide channel, and a button body having a lower portion pivoted to the base frame. A drive part is rotatably pivoted between an upper portion of the button body and the sliding part, and can drive the sliding part to longitudinally slide on the base frame by the push of the button body and an elastic part clamped between the drive part and the base frame, so as to drive the guide pillar to slide rearward and forward along the guide slot and the guide channel and further drive the rotating part to rotate.
