Technical Field

Background

Currently, game peripherals such as game controllers on the market generally do not have a force feedback function, namely, keys, triggers, rockers and the like on the game controller are purely mechanical structures and are realized by means of springs or shrapnel, and the triggering acting force is basically fixed and monotonous. In practical situations, such as the accelerator of an automobile, a larger force is required to step on the accelerator. However, in the current game peripheral, the actual experience of the throttle and the trigger cannot be truly reflected because the structural forces simulating the throttle and the trigger are single when playing racing games and shooting games. Moreover, the effort required for the throttle of different types of vehicles is different, as is the effort required for the trigger of different types of firearms. With the increasing demands of people on game experience, it is hoped to have a more realistic game experience, and the current general game peripheral devices cannot meet the demands.

Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more apparent, the embodiments will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, a game controller with force feedback comprises a microcontroller 1, a voltage regulating module 2, an electromagnet 3, a magnetic connecting piece 4 and a sensor 5.

The microcontroller 1 is electrically connected with the voltage regulating module 2, the microcontroller 1 is used for sending a signal to drive the starting or stopping of the voltage regulating module 2, and the microcontroller 1 can also regulate the output voltage of the voltage regulating module 2.

The voltage regulating module 2 is electrically connected with the electromagnet 3, and the voltage regulating module 2 is used for driving the electromagnet 3 to generate a control force, wherein the control force is attractive force or repulsive force to the magnetic connecting piece 4. When the voltage output by the voltage regulating module 2 is large, the control force is large; when the voltage output by the voltage regulation module 2 is small, the control force is small.

The magnetic connecting piece 4 is connected to a physical control piece which can be directly contacted and controlled by a user, such as a button, a trigger or a rocker, and the like, so that the electromagnet 3 can generate control force on the physical control piece through the magnetic connecting piece 4. The positional relationship of the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic coupling 4 is a spatial relationship, including but not limited to a relative spatial relationship of front-back, left-right, and up-down. When the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 are of the same magnetic pole, repulsive force is generated between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, and the closer the distance between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 is, the larger the repulsive force is; when the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 are opposite magnetic poles, attractive force is generated between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, and the closer the distance between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 is, the larger the attractive force is. The magnetic connection 4 may be a permanent magnet.

The sensor 5 is electrically connected with the microcontroller 1, the sensor 5 is used for detecting the position relation between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, the sensor 5 transmits a position signal to the microcontroller 1 according to the position relation between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, and the position signal can be the distance between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, the direction of the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, and the like. The microcontroller 1 adjusts the magnitude of the output voltage of the voltage regulating module 2 according to the position signal.

The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

1. force feedback is achieved by electromagnetic techniques. Specifically, the user pushes the physical control to drive the magnetic connecting piece 4 to approach or depart from the electromagnet 3, and the control force generated by the electromagnet 3 attracts or repels the magnetic connecting piece 4. For example, in a game, when the key simulates an automobile throttle, and the key drives the magnetic connecting piece 4 to be close to the electromagnet 3, and when the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 are of the same magnetic pole, the repulsive force of the magnetic connecting piece 4 is larger when the magnetic connecting piece is closer to the electromagnet 3, namely, the key simulates the sense that the larger throttle needs larger force to be pressed down, and the force feedback function is realized.

2. The microcontroller 1 can adjust the voltage output by the voltage adjusting module 2 to the electromagnet 3 according to different game scenes, so as to change the control force of the electromagnet 3, namely the feedback force on the real gymnastics. For example, in a game, in order to meet the hand feeling requirement of the trigger capable of controlling different guns through the same button, the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 are of the same magnetic pole, if the microcontroller 1 drives the voltage regulating module 2 to output a smaller voltage when recognizing a pistol, the repulsive force between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 is smaller, and a user can press the button easily when pressing the button, namely, the trigger of the pistol in the game is pressed down; if the microcontroller 1 recognizes that the machine gun is a machine gun, the microcontroller 1 drives the voltage regulating module 2 to output a larger voltage, the repulsive force between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 is larger, and a user needs a larger force when pressing the button, namely, pressing the trigger of the machine gun in the game.

3. The relative position relation of the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4 can be detected by the sensor 5, the sensor 5 transmits a position signal to the microcontroller 1, the microcontroller 1 can generate different control signals according to the relative position relation of the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece, the microcontroller 1 drives the voltage regulating module 2 to generate voltages with different magnitudes or voltages with different directions, the voltage of different magnitudes controls the magnitude of control force generated by the electromagnet 3, the voltage of different directions controls attractive force or repulsive force between the electromagnet 3 and the magnetic connecting piece 4, and game experience is enriched.

In summary, the present utility model provides a game controller with force feedback, where the force feedback function is implemented by electromagnetic technology, and the feedback force can be adjusted, so that the game controller can be applied to different scenes.

The foregoing detailed description is directed to embodiments of the utility model which are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model, but rather to cover all modifications and variations within the scope of the utility model.
