Handle (CN)

Technical Field

The application belongs to the field of operating peripherals, and particularly relates to a handle.

Background

The game device usually needs to interact with the user, that is, the user sends an operation instruction, and the game device receives the operation instruction and then makes corresponding feedback.

In the related art, in order to receive various operation instructions of a user, a game device is provided with an operation peripheral such as a handle. The handle comprises a shell and a plurality of keys, and each key is arranged on the shell according to operation requirements. The user can execute each operation instruction by clicking the keys on the handle. The handle converts the click of the key into an electric signal and transmits the electric signal to the game equipment, so that the game equipment can make corresponding feedback to realize the interaction between the user and the game equipment.

For some MOBA games (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), in order to ensure the consistency of operation, a key is needed to select a skill and also select the release direction of the skill. However, the keys in the above-described lever obviously do not enable this operation, and therefore are not suitable for operating the MOBA game.

Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The MOBA game (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is a common game type. In the game process, a user can control the role in the game to release various skills by operating the peripheral equipment.

In releasing a skill, it is often necessary to select a skill and then select the direction of release of that skill. If the operation peripheral of the game is a mobile phone, the skill can be selected by clicking an icon corresponding to the skill, and the release direction of the skill can be selected by dragging an arrow formed after clicking. If the peripheral devices for operating the game are a keyboard and a mouse, the skill can be selected by clicking a keyboard key corresponding to the skill, and the release direction of the skill can be selected by moving the mouse.

In some scenarios, for example, when a user wants to sit on a sofa and display a game screen through a television, the most suitable operating peripheral device is undoubtedly a handle. However, for conventional handles, the best component to perform the above operation is a rocker, one for each skill. However, the conventional joystick cannot be adapted to the mosba game with a large skill because the number of rockers which can be arranged in the motion area of the thumb of the right hand of the joystick is very limited due to the size of the rockers and the motion range required during operation.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a handle, and fig. 1 is a front view of the handle, and as shown in fig. 1, the handle includes a housing 1, a single-point key 2, and a direction key 3. The shell wall of the shell 1 is provided with holes 11, and the holes 11 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the single-point keys 2 and the direction keys 3. The single-point keys 2 are inserted into the corresponding holes 11, and are partially positioned outside the shell 1.

Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the direction key 3, and fig. 2 is a bottom view of fig. 1, in which one direction key 3 is shown. The direction key 3 comprises a keycap 31, a substrate 32, a connecting rod 33 and n patch type pressure sensors 34, n is more than or equal to 2, n is an integer, the keycap 31 is positioned outside the shell 1, the substrate 32 is positioned inside the shell 1, the middle part of the connecting rod 33 is inserted into the corresponding hole 11, the first end of the connecting rod 33 is connected with the surface of the substrate 32, the second end of the connecting rod 33 is connected with the keycap 31, the patch type pressure sensors 34 are attached to the surface of the substrate 32, the patch type pressure sensors 34 and the connecting rod 33 are positioned on the same surface of the substrate 32, and the n patch type pressure sensors 34 are circumferentially arranged with the axis of the connecting rod 33 as an equal distance of the shaft.

When the MOBA game is operated through the handle provided by the embodiment of the application, one direction key 3 corresponds to one skill in the game. Since the connecting rod 33 connects the key cap 31 and the substrate 32, when a user presses a certain part of the key cap 31, the pressure transmitted by the connecting rod 33 will act on the corresponding position of the substrate 32, so that the substrate 32 is slightly deformed at the corresponding position, and the patch type pressure sensor 34 located at the deformed position of the substrate 32 can sense the deformation and output a corresponding electrical signal, so that the game device can select the skill and the release direction corresponding to the electrical signal.

That is, with the handle provided in the embodiment of the present application, it is possible to select a skill and select a release direction of the skill by using one direction key 3, and thus, the handle is suitable for operation of an MOBA game.

Since the pressure sensor 34 has a resistance strain gauge therein and the pressure sensor 34 is bonded to the substrate 32, the resistance strain gauge deforms when the substrate 32 deforms, and the resistance value thereof changes. By utilizing the characteristic, the patch type pressure sensor 34 can sense the deformation of the substrate 32.

In addition, because the deformation amount of the substrate 32 is very small, it is not necessary to reserve a moving space for the direction key 3, so that the limited space on the handle can be fully utilized, and more direction keys 3 can be configured to further improve the adaptability of the handle.

Illustratively, the single-point keys 2 are conductive adhesive keys.

The distribution positions of the single-point keys 2 and the direction keys 3 on the housing 1 can be adjusted according to actual requirements. For example, a fan-shaped distribution as shown in fig. 1, which facilitates the user to click different one-point keys 2 and direction keys 3 by swinging the thumb while holding the handle. Of course, the number of the single-point keys 2 and the number of the direction keys 3 can also be adjusted according to actual requirements, and the application does not limit the number.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the direction key 3, and the view angle of fig. 3 is the same as that of fig. 1, for clarity, showing the arrangement of the patch type pressure sensors 34, wherein the keycap 31 is hidden.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the patch type pressure sensors 34 are long strip-shaped structural members, the length direction of n patch type pressure sensors 34 extends along the radial direction of the connecting rod 33, n is 4, and the n patch type pressure sensors 34 intersect with the axis of the connecting rod 33 respectively.

Because when the connecting rod 33 applies pressure to the substrate 32, the transmission direction of the pressure is the same as the radial direction of the connecting rod 33, the patch type pressure sensors 34 are designed into strip-shaped structural members, and the length direction of each patch type pressure sensor 34 extends along the radial direction of the connecting rod 33, so that each patch type pressure sensor 34 can better sense the deformation of the substrate 32, and the control accuracy of the direction key 3 is improved.

If more than two patch type pressure sensors 34 sense the deformation of the substrate 32, the release direction corresponding to the operation is determined according to the pressure value sensed by each patch type pressure sensor 34. For example, two adjacent patch type pressure sensors 34 sense the deformation of the substrate 32, the pressure values sensed by the two patch type pressure sensors 34 are respectively 3 and 2, the corresponding release direction is between the two patch type pressure sensors 34 and is biased to one patch type pressure sensor 34 with a larger pressure value, and the biased angle is adjusted according to the difference of the pressure values.

It is easily understood that if it is necessary to improve the operation accuracy of the direction keys 3, the number of patch type pressure sensors 34 is increased.

With continued reference to FIG. 3, keycap 31 is illustratively a disk-shaped structure, and keycap 31 is coaxial with link 33.

In the above implementation manner, the key cap 31 is designed to be disc-shaped, so that the user can more intuitively correspond the required skill release direction to the part pressing the key cap 31, and the operation accuracy of the user is improved. For example, if the user needs to select the twelve o 'clock direction facing the screen as the skill release direction, the user only needs to press the twelve o' clock direction position of the outer edge of the key cap 31 facing the key cap 31. If the user needs to select the three o 'clock direction facing the screen as the skill release direction, the user only needs to press the three o' clock direction position of the outer edge of the key cap 31 facing the key cap 31. The same applies to the other directions.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of keycap 31 is greater than the outer diameter of link 33. By the design, the pressing area of a user is increased, misoperation is avoided, and the lever principle is utilized, so that the user can press more labor-saving, and operation is facilitated.

Illustratively, the part of the key cap 31, which is far away from the connecting rod 33, has anti-slip lines, so as to prevent the user from slipping when pressing the key cap 31, and improve the operation accuracy of the user. And, the antiskid line is located the outward flange of key cap 31 to better correspond with user's the position of pressing.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the keycap 31, the connecting rod 33 and the substrate 32 are connected to each other, and the connection manner between the three will be described below.

With continued reference to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the link 33 includes a rod 331 and a pin 332. The pin 332 is coaxial with the rod 331, and has one end connected to the end of the rod 331 and the other end inserted into the key cap 31.

The rod body 331 is a main body of the link 33, and plays a role of supporting the key cap 31 and transmitting pressure, and the pin 332 is located at an end of the rod body 331 and plays a role of connecting the rod body 331 and the key cap 31. In addition, the pin 332 is inserted into the key cap 31, so that the connection firmness between the connecting rod 33 and the key cap 31 can be effectively ensured, and the reliability of the direction key 3 is improved.

To facilitate the detachable mounting between the key cap 31 and the link 33, the pin 332 is illustratively threadedly engaged with the key cap 31. That is to say, the outer peripheral wall of the pin 332 is provided with an external thread, the outer wall of the key cap 31 is provided with a screw hole, the pin 332 is inserted into the screw hole, and the external thread of the pin 332 is matched with the internal thread of the screw hole. The keycap 31 and the connecting rod 33 are detachably mounted, so that the keycap 31 can be quickly and conveniently replaced after the keycap 31 is worn.

In order to improve the connection firmness between the key cap 31 and the connecting rod 33, the gap between the pin 332 and the key cap 31 is filled with an adhesive.

In other embodiments, in order to improve the assembling efficiency of the direction key 3, an integrated structure is provided between the pin 332 and the key cap 31. Therefore, the structure of the pin 332 is simplified, and the assembly process is reduced.

With continued reference to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the base plate 32 includes a plate 321 and a latch 322. The latch 322 is perpendicular to the plate 321, and has one end inserted into the plate 321 and the other end coaxially inserted into the first end of the connecting rod 33.

The plate 321 is a main body of the substrate 32, and functions to support the link 33 and the patch pressure sensor 34. Further, a slight deformation can be generated after receiving the pressure. Bolt 322 pegs graft in connecting rod 33, plays the effect of connecting plate body 321 and connecting rod 33, can effectually guarantee the firm in connection degree between connecting rod 33 and the base plate 32, has improved direction button 3's reliability.

To facilitate assembly between the linkage 33 and the base plate 32, the latch 322 is illustratively an interference fit with the linkage 33. That is, the first end of the connecting rod 33 has a pin hole, the pin 322 is inserted into the pin hole, and the pin 322 and the pin hole are in interference fit. During assembly, the pin hole is aligned with the pin 322, and then the connecting rod 33 is sleeved on the pin 322.

In addition, the bolt 322 is also in interference fit with the plate 321, and the assembling manner is basically the same as that between the bolt 322 and the connecting rod 33, which is not described herein again.

The circuit portion of the handle is described below.

In order to realize the conversion between the Analog signal and the Digital signal, the handle includes an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), fig. 4 is a schematic wiring diagram of the Analog-to-Digital Converter, and in conjunction with fig. 4, the AIN1 to AIN12 ports of the Analog-to-Digital Converter are electrically connected to the positive electrodes of the patch pressure sensors 34 of the three direction buttons 3, respectively (each direction button 3 includes four patch pressure sensors 34, 12 in total). The KEY _ SR1_ AIN1 to KEY _ SR1_ AIN4 are respectively four patch type pressure sensors 34 of the first direction KEY 3, the KEY _ SR2_ AIN1 to KEY _ SR2_ AIN4 are respectively four patch type pressure sensors 34 of the second direction KEY 3, and the KEY _ SR3_ AIN1 to KEY _ SR3_ AIN4 are respectively four patch type pressure sensors 34 of the third direction KEY 3. The AVDD port of the analog-digital converter is electrically connected with an analog positive power supply (AVDD _33), the AGND port of the analog-digital converter is grounded, the DVDD port of the analog-digital converter is electrically connected with a digital positive power supply (DVDD _33), the GND1 port of the analog-digital converter is grounded, the IIC _ CLK port of the analog-digital converter is electrically connected with a clock line (IIC1_ CLK) of an Integrated Circuit bus (Inter-Integrated Circuit, IIC), the IIC _ DAT port of the analog-digital converter is electrically connected with a data line (IIC1_ DAT) of the Integrated Circuit bus, and the INT port of the analog-digital converter is electrically connected with an alarm interrupt line (IIC1_ INT) of the Integrated Circuit bus. The GND2 port of the analog-to-digital converter is grounded.

Fig. 5 is a schematic wiring diagram of the direction key 3, in which four patch type pressure sensors 34 are shown, positive electrodes of the four patch type pressure sensors 34 are electrically connected with an analog positive power supply, and negative electrodes of the four patch type pressure sensors 34 are grounded.

The handle also needs to release the skill after the release direction is selected during actual use. Illustratively, when the user selects the releasing direction, the direction key 3 is released, the deformation of the substrate 32 is restored under the action of the elasticity of the substrate, and the pressure value sensed by the patch type pressure sensor 34 is reset to zero, so that the skill releasing is realized.

If the user keeps pressing the direction key 3 and adjusts the pressed portion of the key top 31, the releasing direction is changed accordingly. But because the patch type sensor can sense the pressure value, the skill can not be released, thereby realizing the adjustment of the releasing direction.

In the above release skill method, since the amount of deformation of the substrate 32 by the pressure is very small, the amount of deformation of the substrate 32 is also very small in the process of restoring the substrate 32. This way no disturbance of the selected release direction is caused.

In order to completely avoid the above interference, referring to fig. 6, in this embodiment, the handle further includes n transistors 4, and the transistors 4 correspond to the patch pressure sensors 34 one by one. The triodes 4 are connected with the substrate 32, the collector of the ith triode 4 is electrically connected with the ith patch type pressure sensor 34(KEY _ LT), the emitter of the n triodes 4 is respectively electrically connected with the ground, and the base of the n triodes 4 is respectively electrically connected with the same single-point KEY 2.

In the above implementation, the single-point key 2 is regarded as a normally open switch, and the triode 4 is not conducted in the process of selecting the release direction through the direction key 3. After the release direction is selected, a user clicks the single-point key 2 to conduct the triode 4, the patch type pressure sensor 34 is directly grounded, the acquired voltage of the analog-digital converter returns to zero instantly, and the skill release is realized by utilizing the voltage jump. That is, the deformation of the substrate 32 remains unchanged between the selection of the release direction and the release of the skill, so that the disturbance of the selected release direction is completely avoided.

In addition, a dead band range of pressure values can be set that indicates the user's desire to release the skill when the pressure value sensed by patch pressure sensor 34 falls within the dead band range. At this time, the release direction at 10ms (artificial set value) before the time point is traced forward, and the release direction is set as the selected release direction. This also avoids disturbing the selected release direction.

Illustratively, the substrate 32 is a printed circuit board or a flexible circuit board, and the collectors of the transistors 4 are electrically connected to the patch pressure sensors 34 through the substrate 32. By the design, the characteristics of the printed circuit board or the flexible circuit board can be utilized, so that the handle can generate small deformation after receiving pressure, and the integrated design of a handle circuit can be facilitated.

The above description is only exemplary of the present application and should not be taken as limiting, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
