Description

多方向输入装置、手柄以及游戏机

技术领域
本申请涉及游戏机技术领域，特别涉及一种多方向输入装置、应用该多方向输入装置的手柄以及应用该手柄的游戏机。
 背景技术
相关技术中的游戏机手柄的多方向输入装置一般包括有操作件、转动件、弹性件、第一滑动件以及第二滑动件。其中，转动件在操作件的驱动下能够在水平360度全方向的范围内转动；弹片和转动件连接，并能够推动转动件进行复位；呈正交设置的第一滑动件和第二滑动件在转动件的驱动下能够分别在X、Y方向上滑动，之后通过检测第一滑动件和第二滑动件在X、Y方向上的滑动量并输出相应的信号即可实现该多方向输入装置根据用户对操作件的相应操作实现相应信号的输入。
然而，该类多方向输入装置的转动件在被操作件驱动旋转时，弹性件会对转动件施加反作用力。而操作件和转动件又相对限位固定，进而使得转动件对操作件直接产生较大的摩擦阻力，导致该多方向输入装置进行操作时的使用手感较差。

 有益效果
本申请的技术方案的多方向输入装置在使用时，通过操作件可驱动转动件转动，并由转动件带动第一滑动件和第二滑动件分别沿X方向和Y方向滑动。此时，分别与第一滑动件和第二滑动件连接的第一可动接点和第二可动接点也随之沿X方向和Y方向滑动。之后通过电路板上与第一可动接点进行电气性接触的第一固定接点和与第二可动接点进行电气性接触的第二固定接点，使得电路板可输出对应于第一滑动件和第二滑动件的滑动位置的输出信号，从而实现多方向输入装置根据用户对操作件的相应操作实现相应信号的输入。而在操作件被完成驱动后，由于转动件设置有弹性件，通过该弹性件可提供使操作件回到原点位置的作用力，从而实现多方向输入装置的操作件的自动复位。
并且，本方案中多方向输入装置的转动件包括呈分体设置的圆盘部和圆环部，使得操作件在被驱动时是通过圆盘部间接带动圆环部的。与此同时，设置在圆环部上的弹性件在圆环部被圆盘部带动时所产生的形变阻力仅作用于该圆环部上，之后通过圆盘部间接的对操作件产生的摩擦阻力。此时，由于圆盘部和圆环部均呈圆形状而可以发生一定的相对旋转运动，使得圆盘部和操作件之间所产生摩擦阻力相对较小。而且弹性件所产生的形变阻力是通过圆盘部间接的作用于操作件上，该阻力在传递过程存在的损耗也可以进一步地削弱圆盘部和操作件之间所产生摩擦阻力。于此，本方案中的多方向输入装置采用呈分体设置的圆盘部和圆环部组装形成为转动件能够较大幅度地降低操作件在使用时所受到的摩擦阻力，从而提高了该多方向输入装置操作时的顺滑度，使得具有手感顺滑而无明显停顿、跳动或者阻涩的感觉。

本申请提出一种多方向输入装置。
请结合参考图1至图6，在本申请的一实施例中，该多方向输入装置包括壳体10、操作件30、转动件50、弹性件70、第一滑动件81、第二滑动件83、第一可动接点811、第二可动接点831以及电路板90；其中，壳体10内形成有容置腔10a，壳体10还设有连通容置腔10a的开口部10b；操作件30设于容置腔10a内，并部分由开口部10b延伸至外界；转动件50设于容置腔10a内，转动件50于水平面呈圆形状设置，转动件50在操作件30的驱动下可在水平360°全方向的范围内转动；弹性件70设置在转动件50的外周，以推动转动件50返回到原点位置；第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83均设于容置腔10a内，并在转动件50的驱动下分别在X、Y方向上滑动（其中，X方向和Y方向在水平面上相垂直）；第一可动接点811和第二可动接点831分别设于第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83上；电路板90设于容置腔10a内，电路板90具有第一固定接点91和第二固定接点93，第一固定接点91与第一可动接点811进行电气性接触，第二固定接点93和第二可动接点831进行电气性接触的；转动件50包括呈分体设置的圆盘部33和圆环部53，圆盘部33连接于操作件30，圆环部53套设于圆盘部33，圆环部53的外侧周面设有弹性件70；操作件30通过圆盘部33带动圆环部53，圆环部53驱动第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83分别在X、Y方向上滑动。
在本申请的一实施例中，壳体10主要可以用于形成容置腔10a，通过该容置腔10a对操作件30、转动件50、第一滑动件81、第二滑动件83以及电路板90进行容置等。如此可以使得多方向输入装置的各个零件形成一个整体，从而便于对其进行搬运和管理。同时，通过该壳体10对位于容置腔10a内的零件也可以起到一定的保护作用，降低外界的水汽或者灰尘进入到容置腔10a内而对容置腔10a内的零件造成损坏的可能。其中，壳体10可以包括有上壳11和下壳13，下壳13盖合于上壳11的上端，并和上壳11围合形成容置腔10a。如此使得两者可以分开制造，之后再将上壳11和下壳13进行组装形成该壳体10，从而简化了容置腔10a成型的复杂度。为了便于对位于容置腔10a内的零件进行维修更换，上壳11和下壳13可以为可拆卸连接，例如两者可以是通过卡扣连接、磁吸固定或者螺钉连接。在一优选实施方式中，上壳11和下壳13可以是通过一紧固件对两者进行卡接固定。具体而言，该紧固件包括紧固本体和固定板，紧固本体可以抵接于下壳13背离上壳11的表面，固定板连接于紧固本体的周缘，并沿面向所述上壳11的方向延伸，该固定板上设有卡孔，上壳11对应该卡孔的位置设有卡块，如此通过卡块卡入卡孔内即可实现紧固件对上壳11和下壳13两者进行锁紧固定。此时由于通过紧固件和上壳11的卡接实现几者之间的固定，使得无需在上壳11和下壳13上设置较为复杂的结构，且上壳11的外侧周面上又具有较好的位置设置卡块，从而有利于简化上壳11和下壳13的连接结构。操作件30主要可以用于供用户操作，并通过转动该操作件30而使得转动件50、第一滑动件81以及第二滑动件83等随之被驱动。其中，操作件30可以在是呈杆状结构，并在上下方向上延伸设置。进一步地，为了便于用户对该操作件30的握持施力，操作件30由开口部10b凸出延伸至外界的上端可以设有操作盘33，该操作盘33于水平面上的投影可以呈圆形状设置，且该投影覆盖操作件30于水平面上的投影。而操作件30位于容置腔10a内的下端则和转动件50连接，以使得操作件30在被驱动时带动该转动件50转动。转动件50主要可以用于在随操作件30移动时带动第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83分别于X、Y方向上进行滑动。其中，转动件50的圆盘部33和操作件30连接，具体的圆盘部33和操作件30可以是固定连接，或者两者为一体成型结构，当然两者可以是可拆卸连接，例如通过卡扣连接、磁吸固定或者螺钉连接等。圆环部53和第一滑动件81、第二滑动件83连接，具体的可以是抵接于第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83。其中，圆环部53的被驱动，可以是在圆盘部33在被操作件30带动时通过圆盘部33和圆环部53之间的摩擦力带动该圆环部53。进一步地，壳体10内可以设有支撑架15，该支撑架15位于容置腔10a内，该支撑架15的下端抵接于下壳13，转动件50的圆盘部33和圆环部53可以是可转动地设于支撑架15的上端和上壳11之间。当然，于其他实施例中，壳体10的上壳11的内侧壁形成有环形槽以容置圆盘部33和圆环部53也是可以的。弹性件70主要可以用于提供弹力，以驱动转动件50的圆环部53在被圆盘部33带动后进行相应的复位。其中，弹性件70于水平面上的投影大致呈C型结构的弹片，该弹片的相对的两端连接于圆环部53的侧周面，弹片的中部可以连接于壳体10的上壳11。进一步地，弹片的数量可以为多个，多个弹片围绕圆环部53的中心依次分布。其中，多个弹片可以交叉的设于圆环部53的外周缘，也即每相邻的两个弹片在上下方向依次分布。为了弹片能够更好的向圆环部53提供弹力，弹片的两端可以是包覆于圆环部53的周缘。另外，需要说明的是弹性件70也可以是C型结构的弹柱。请结合参考图2、图3以及图9，第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83主要可以随操作件30被驱动进行相应的移动，同时使得第一可动接点811和第二可动接点831随之进行相应的移动，并通过分别与该第一可动接点811和第二可动接点831进行电性连接的电路板90上的第一固定接点91和第二固定接点93输入对应第一可动接点811和第二可动接点831的滑动量的信号，之后再由电路板90的输出端输出相应的控制信号。其中，电路板90可以是连接于壳体10的下壳13，并位于第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83的下方。而第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83可以是位于支撑架15和下壳13之间，且第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83还可滑动的连接于支撑架15。具体而言，第一滑动件81面向开口部10b的表面形成有沿X方向的第一滑槽81b，第二滑动件83面向开口部10b的方向形成有沿Y方向的第二滑槽83b；支撑架15对应第一滑槽81b的位置设有第一凸块151，该第一凸块151容纳于第一滑槽81b内，支撑架15对应第二滑槽83b的位置还设有第二凸块153，第二凸块153容纳于第二滑槽83b内。另外，第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83于水平面上的投影可以均大致呈长方形状，本申请的技术方案的多方向输入装置在使用时，通过操作件30可驱动转动件50转动，并由转动件50带动第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83分别沿X方向和Y方向滑动。此时，分别与第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83连接的第一可动接点811和第二可动接点831也随之沿X方向和Y方向滑动。之后通过电路板90上与第一可动接点811进行电气性接触的第一固定接点91和与第二可动接点831进行电气性接触的第二固定接点93，使得电路板90可输出对应于第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83的滑动位置的输出信号，从而实现多方向输入装置根据用户对操作件30的相应操作实现相应信号的输入。而在操作件30被完成驱动后，由于转动件50设置有弹性件70，通过该弹性件70可提供使操作件30回到原点位置的作用力，从而实现多方向输入装置的操作件30的自动复位。
并且，本方案中多方向输入装置的转动件50包括呈分体设置的圆盘部33和圆环部53，使得操作件30在被驱动时是通过圆盘部33间接带动圆环部53的。与此同时，设置在圆环部53上的弹性件70在圆环部53被圆盘部33带动时所产生的形变阻力仅作用于该圆环部53上，之后通过圆盘部33间接的对操作件30产生的摩擦阻力。此时，由于圆盘部33和圆环部53均呈圆形状而可以发生一定的相对旋转运动，使得圆盘部33和操作件30之间所产生摩擦阻力相对较小。而且弹性件70所产生的形变阻力是通过圆盘部33间接的作用于操作件30上，该阻力在传递过程存在的损耗也可以进一步地削弱圆盘部33和操作件30之间所产生摩擦阻力。于此，本方案中的多方向输入装置采用呈分体设置的圆盘部33和圆环部53组装形成为转动件50能够较大幅度地降低操作件30在使用时所受到的摩擦阻力，从而提高了该多方向输入装置操作时的顺滑度，使得具有手感顺滑而无明显停顿、跳动或者阻涩的感觉。
请结合参考图7和图8，在申请的一实施例中，圆环部53的内侧周面设有限位槽53a，限位槽53a沿圆环部53的周向环绕设置；圆盘部33的外侧周面设有限位筋511，限位筋511沿圆盘部33的周向环绕设置，并嵌设于限位槽53a内。
可以理解，限位槽53a和限位筋511的配合抵接对圆环部53和圆盘部33两者具有一定的限位作用，降低两者在上下方向上发生脱离的可能，从而有利于保证圆环部53和圆盘部33之间限位的稳定性。而且，如此设置也增大了圆环部53和圆盘部33之间的抵接面积，从而有利于保证圆盘部33在被操作件30驱动时，通过和圆环部53之间的摩擦力能够带动圆环部53随之移动。当然，本申请不限于此，于其他实施例中，圆环部53仅通过其内侧周面和圆盘部33的外侧周面进行抵接也是可以的。
请参考图7，在申请的一实施例中于，限位槽53a贯穿圆环部53面向开口部10b的表面。
可以理解，限位槽53a贯穿圆环部53的上表面，使得该限位槽53a可以从该圆环部53的上表面开始进行加工而降低了限位槽53a的加工成型的复杂度，从而提高了圆环部53成型的便利性。而且，如此设置也使得两者便于安装，也即将圆盘部33由上至下的方向直接搭接于圆环部53上即可。当然，本申请不限于此，于其他实施例中，限位槽53a也可以是未贯穿圆环部53的上表面或者下表面。
在申请的一实施例中，圆环部53、限位筋511以及圆盘部33面向开口部10b的表面位于同一平面。
可以理解，圆环部53、限位筋511以及圆盘部33的上表面位于同一平面，使得圆环部53和圆盘部33的上表面较为平整，能够较好的抵接于壳体10的上壳11的内顶壁上进行限位。同时，如此设置也使得圆盘部33的形状较为规则，从而便于对该圆盘部33进行成型制造。当然，于其他实施例中，在圆环部53、限位筋511以及圆盘部33面向开口部10b的表面具有高度差时，壳体10的上壳11的内顶壁可以对应设置有相应的不同高度的区域，以对该圆环部53和圆盘部33进行相应的抵接限位。同样的，为了使得圆环部53和圆盘部33的下表面能够较为的与支撑架15的上表面进行抵接，圆环部53和圆盘部33背离开口部10b的表面也可以位于同一平面。
请结合参考图5、图6以及图7，在申请的一实施例中，圆盘部33设有贯穿其面向和背离开口部10b的贯通孔51a，操作件30的位于容置腔10a内的一端穿设于贯通孔51a内。
可以理解，贯通孔51a的设置，使得直接将操作件30穿设于贯通孔51a内即可完成操作件30和圆盘部33的安装，从而有利于简化操作件30和圆盘部33之间的安装。其中，贯通孔51a可以为圆形孔，以使其孔壁各处具有一致性而便于成型加工。当然，贯通孔51a也可以为方形或者其他形状的孔，具体的可以根据操作件30的下端的具体形状来进行适应性设置，能够保证该贯通孔51a和操作件30的形状相适配即可。
请结合参考图5和图6，在申请的一实施例中，贯穿孔的孔壁设有凹槽51b，凹槽51b贯穿圆盘部33面向和背离开口部10b的表面，操作件30对应凹槽51b的位置设有凸条31，凸条31嵌设于凹槽51b内。
可以理解，通过凸条31和凹槽51b的配合对操作件30和圆盘部33之间具有一定的限位作用，使得在操作件30的下端和安装孔均呈圆形状设置时，能够通过凸条31和凹槽51b在周向方向上的限位而有利于保证操作件30可以驱动圆盘部33随之发生转动。而凹槽51b贯穿圆盘部33面向和背离开口部10b的表面，使得操作件30的下端在凸条31和凹槽51b对准后由上至下或者由下至上直接插入即可完成两者的组装，提高组装的便利性。当然，于其他实施例中，凹槽51b未贯穿圆盘部33面向和背离开口部10b的表面也是可以的，此时操作件30的凸条31可以通过弹性卡入凹槽51b内。另外，凹槽51b的数量可以多个，并围绕安装孔的中心呈均匀间隔分布；凸条31的数量也可以是设置有多个，且一个凸条31插入一个凹槽51b内。
请结合参考图6和图7，在申请的一实施例中，圆盘部33面向开口部10b的表面设有凸台513，凸台513呈环形状设置，并环绕于贯通孔51a的外侧。
可以理解，凸台513的设置，增大了操作件30和圆盘部33之间的接触面积，有利于提高两者之间组装的稳定性，从而进一步地保证操作件30可以驱动圆盘部33随之发生转动。同时，如此设置，也有利于提高圆盘部33的整体强度。其中，凸台513可以于水平面上的投影可以是为圆形状，以使其形状较为规则而便于成型制造。当然，该圆台于水平面上的投影也可以是为正方形或者长方形状等。另外，凸台513和圆盘部33可以为一体结构，以使得两者可以通过一体成型制造，简化两者的加工工艺而提高生产效率。
请结合参考图2、图3、图8以及图9，在申请的一实施例中，第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83在上下方向依次分布并呈正交设置，第一滑动件81设有贯穿其面向和背离开口部10b的第一开口81a，第二滑动件83设有贯穿其面向和背离开口部10b的第二开口83a；圆盘部33背离开口部10b的表面设有方框515，方框515环绕于贯通孔51a的外侧，方框515远离圆盘部33的一端穿设于第一开口81a和第二开口83a内，以带动在第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83分别在X、Y方向上滑动。
可以理解，通过方框515容纳于第一开口81a和第二开口83a的重合区域中，使得转动件50的圆盘部33在转动的过程中，通过方框515能够较好带动第一滑动件81和第二滑动件83分别沿X方向和Y方向移动。其中，该方框515和圆盘部33可以为一体结构，以使得两者可以通过一体成型制造，简化两者的加工工艺而提高生产效率。另外，凹槽51b可以贯穿凸台513和方框515。
请参考图3，在本申请的一实施例中，操作件30可相对于圆盘部33进行上下移动，电路板90对应操作件30的下方可以设有圆顶开关95。如此在操作件30被按压时，操作件30的下端可以穿过第二开口83a而接触到圆顶开关95，而触发按压信号的输入。为了更便于实现按压信号的输入，壳体10内还可以设有推动件17，该推动件17可升降地设于壳体10的下壳13上，并位于电路板90和操作件30之间，推动件17对应圆顶开关95的位置设有抵接柱171。如此在操作件30被按压时，可以通过带动推动件17下降，之后通过推动件17上的抵接柱171抵接圆顶开关95而触发按压信号的输入。此时，操作件30无需过大的按压形成即可实现对圆顶开关95的抵接，从而提高了按压信号的输入的便利性。进一步地，为了实现操作件30的上升复位，推动件17和下壳13之间可以设有弹簧19。
本申请还提出一种手柄，该手柄包括多方向输入装置，该多方向输入装置的具体结构参照上述实施例，由于本手柄采用了上述所有实施例的全部技术方案，因此至少具有上述实施例的技术方案所带来的所有有益效果，在此不再一一赘述。
