Telescopic structure of control device

The present invention provides a controller structure for an electronic device, and more particularly to a telescopic structure of a control device that is simple to use and has a good operational feel.

According to the amazing popularity rate of smart phones and tablets, smart phones and tablet platforms have become a battleground for software vendors, especially in the market for game software, in addition to the emerging research and development for touch devices. In addition to mobile games, games on older platforms such as PCs and home consoles are also moving to the platform of the touch device, and are operated through the re-development of the operating module or the analog buttons on the screen, but because the old platform games often require Relying on the more complicated button operation for detailed control, when transplanting to the touch device, it will inevitably lose the original operation precision and game flavor, so when the touch device is booming, for the heavy players who pursue the ultimate game effect, In addition to the use of the mobile device's thin and easy to carry features and the two core to quad core powerful computing capabilities of most mobile devices to play games, it is also necessary to introduce support for other input modules to overcome the limitations of input commands by touch. Sex.

A mobile app that supports existing gamepads is available on the market. After the app is installed on a mobile device, the existing gamepad is connected to the mobile device via micro USB or Bluetooth. The game in the mobile device is operated, and a manufacturer develops a bracket that can fix the mobile device to the existing game controller, and combines the mobile device with the existing game controller to achieve an operation feel similar to that of the handheld game console.

In addition, some manufacturers have introduced a game controller that is specially designed to support mobile devices. The game controller has fixed components that can be combined with mobile devices, and then connected to mobile devices via micro USB or Bluetooth, and additional support for gamepads. The mobile device application or the game-supporting code is added to the game to operate the game in the mobile device through the gamepad.

However, when the above-mentioned conventional game controller is used, the following problems and defects are still needed to be improved:

First, the operation department is a fixed-size structure, just like the design of a general traditional game controller, only in One side of the gamepad is designed for a smart phone (or tablet platform), so the overall size will not be effectively reduced, making it very inconvenient to carry.

Second, in order to prevent the smart phone (or tablet platform) and the operation unit from being firmly combined, it is usually fixed by using a groove or a claw. Therefore, the center of gravity of the use will be more biased toward the smart phone ( Or the tablet platform), so that the use will result in a state of poor hand feeling, and will put a burden on the wrist for a long time.

Therefore, how to solve the above problems and deficiencies in the past, that is, the applicants of the new type and the relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study the direction of improvement.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the applicants of this new type have collected relevant information, evaluated and considered through multiple parties, and have accumulated many years of experience in the industry. Through continuous trial and modification, they have designed this simple use and operational sense. A new patent for the telescopic structure of the good control device.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a telescopic assembly and an elastic contraction element between the operation modules, so that the operation module can be extended and contracted along the movable direction of the telescopic assembly to form a fixed space for the electronic device. The use of the game controller has a problem of inconvenient carrying and poor hand feeling, and achieves practical progress with simple use and good operation.

For the above purposes, the present invention comprises a plurality of operation modules, a telescopic assembly and at least one elastic contraction member. The two ends of the telescopic assembly are respectively combined with the operation modules, and the elastic contraction elements are disposed in the operation module and the telescopic assembly. The telescopic assembly includes a first telescopic housing and a plurality of second telescopic housings. The two ends of the first telescopic housing are respectively disposed at one end of the second telescopic housing, and the other end of the second telescopic housing is disposed at One side of the operation module, the second telescopic housing is slid on the first telescopic housing, and the operation module is slid on the second telescopic housing; the two ends of the elastic contraction element are respectively disposed on the operation mode In the group, the middle portion is disposed in the first telescopic housing and the second telescopic housings, so that the operation module expands and contracts along the movable direction of the telescopic assembly, and forms a fixed space for the electronic device.

With the above structure, it can be seen that the operation modules can be separated from each other (the left and right direction is separated, that is, along the movable direction of the telescopic assembly), so that a fixed space is formed between the operation modules, and the electronic device can be placed therein. The telescopic component supports the electronic device, so that the electronic device and the present invention are in three-side contact state (ie, the left and right sides of the electronic device are in contact with the operation module, and the back of the electronic device is in contact with the telescopic assembly), so that the overall center of gravity is more concentrated; The elastic contraction element produces an elastic contraction effect on the operation module, so that the operation modules are close to each other, and the use of such a structural design can cause the operation module to have a clamping effect on the electronic device, and when not in use, only The operating module needs to be pulled away to remove the electronic device, and the operating module will automatically close and contract; thus, the structural design of the novel completely improves the lack of use, and achieves the advantages of simple use and good operation. .

From the above description of the structure, the structure of the present invention can be understood, and with the following description, the structural design concept and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood, and the main three parts of the novel are achieved. Group 1, telescopic assembly 2 and elastic contraction element 3.

The operation module 1 will be described first. The operation module 1 mainly houses and sets necessary components through the casing assembly 11 , and the circuit board 12 serves as a main operation spindle component, and the Bluetooth transmission module 121 functions as an electronic device 5 .

Thus, the operation module 1, the second telescopic housing 22 and the first telescopic housing are known. The body 21 is a multi-section retractable structure.

The elastic contraction element 3 is a strip-shaped metal coil, and the two ends (the tape fixing portion 31) are respectively disposed in the operation module 1, and the intermediate portion is disposed on the first telescopic housing 21 and the second telescopic housing. In the case of 22, if the external force is not applied to the operation module 1, the elastic contraction element 3 will make the operation modules 1 on both sides relatively close together (the operation module 1 accommodates the second telescopic housing 22, and the second telescopic housing 22 accommodates The first telescopic housing 21) causes the whole to exhibit a contraction and miniaturization (as shown in the first figure). Conversely, if an external force is applied to the operation module 1, the elastic contraction element 3 will store these forces. At the tape fixing portion 31, the whole is presented in a multi-segment structure (as shown in the second figure).

After understanding the relationship and structure between the operation module 1, the telescopic assembly 2 and the elastic contraction member 3, it is possible to understand how the present invention is used and the advantages achieved; see the seventh figure for the purpose of developing the schematic diagram of the present invention.
