To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the game pad provided by the embodiment of the present application will be further described and explained with reference to fig. 1-6 and 12.
Fig. 2 is a schematic internal structure diagram of a game pad according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 2, the handle body 1 may include a housing 11, a handle function module 12 and a panel 13, the housing 11 is connected to the panel 13, and the handle function module 12 is located inside the housing 11; the panel 13 has a receiving groove 132, and the receiving groove 132 is suitable for receiving the replaceable key module 3; the orthographic projection of the first fool-proof structure 131 on the panel 13 is located in the accommodating groove 132.
The housing 11 is a member for accommodating the handle function module 12 and the fixed key module 2 in the housing 11. The size and material of the housing 11 are determined according to actual requirements, and for example, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin or the like may be used. The housing 11 has an inner cavity in which both the handle function module 12 and the fixed key module 2 can be accommodated.
In some implementations of embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 12, the housing 11 may include a manipulation part and two holding parts 112, and the two holding parts 112 are respectively connected with two opposite side walls of the manipulation part; the inner side surface of each holding portion 112 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip grains 1121, and the inner side surface is the side surface of the holding portion 112 opposite to and closest to another holding portion 112. The anti-slip beads 1121 are used to prevent the gamepad from being accidentally slipped off from the hand when the user plays a game using the gamepad.
As shown in fig. 1, the panel 13 may cover and be connected to an open end of the inner cavity of the housing 1112, thereby constituting a main appearance of the handle body 1 together with the housing 11. The portion of the panel 13 within the first region 110 may be formed with a mounting hole 134135, and the universal key 21 protrudes from the panel 13 through the mounting hole 134143 for user manipulation. The receiving cavity 132 is located in the second area 120 and can receive and connect with the replaceable key module 3, and the top of the replaceable key module 3 is exposed from the open end of the receiving cavity 132 for the user to operate.
In the process of assembling the replaceable key module 3 into the receiving cavity 132, only if the first fool-proof structure 131 and the second fool-proof structure 311 are properly fitted or connected, it is determined that the replaceable key module 3 is properly assembled into the receiving cavity 132. There are various structures of the first fool-proof structure 131 and the second fool-proof structure 311, and two possible structures are described below:
in a possible structure, referring to fig. 2, the first fool-proof structure 131 is a first magnet, the first magnet is connected to or abutted against the wall of the accommodating groove 132, and an orthographic projection of the first magnet on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 132 is not located at the center of the bottom wall; the second fool-proof structure 311 is a second magnet, the second magnet is connected to or pressed against the wall of the replaceable key module 3, and the second magnet corresponds to and attracts the first magnet.
The size and number of the first and second magnets may be set according to the use requirement, as long as it is ensured that the replaceable key module 3 does not fall off therefrom due to its own weight when the game handle is inverted after the replaceable key module 3 is assembled in the accommodating groove 132.
For example, the number of the first and second magnets may be one, one first magnet is attached to the side of the bottom wall of the receiving groove 132 farthest from the first region 110 (assuming the right side), and the second magnet is attached to the corresponding position on the wall of the replaceable key module 3. If the user mistakenly assembles the replaceable key module 3 (assuming that the position of the second magnet corresponds to the left side of the accommodating groove 132), the replaceable key module 3 cannot be connected to the handle body 1 because the first magnet and the second magnet cannot attract each other, so that the user is reminded of assembly errors, and the user can adjust the replaceable key module in time and assemble the replaceable key module correctly.
For another example, the number of the first magnets and the second magnets may be two, and the two first magnets are both located inside the housing 31 and respectively abut against the first side and the second side of the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 132, and the first side and the second side are opposite to each other. The N pole of the first magnet on the first side abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 132, and the S pole of the first magnet on the second side abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 132. The two second magnets are connected to the wall of the replaceable key module 3, and a part of each of the two second magnets is exposed from two sides of the bottom of the wall of the replaceable key module 3, wherein the exposed part of the second magnet corresponding to the first magnet on the first side is an S pole; and the second magnet corresponding to the first magnet at the second side has an exposed part of N pole. If the user mistakenly assembles the replaceable key module 3, the second magnet corresponding to the first magnet on the first side now corresponds to the first magnet on the second side, and the second magnet corresponding to the first magnet on the second side now corresponds to the first magnet on the first side, which is equivalent to that the S pole of one first magnet is close to the S pole of one second magnet, and the N pole of the other first magnet is close to the N pole of the other second magnet, based on the principle that like poles repel each other, the replaceable key module 3 cannot be smoothly installed in the accommodating groove 132, so that the user is reminded of assembly errors, and the user can adjust the replaceable key module in time and assemble the replaceable key module correctly.
The first magnet and the second magnet are used as fool-proof structures, and meanwhile, the first magnet and the second magnet can be used for realizing detachable connection of the replaceable key module 3 and the handle main body 1, so that the structure of the game handle is simplified.
In another possible structure, the first fool-proof structure 131 is one of a groove a and a protrusion b, and the first fool-proof structure 131 is connected to a sidewall of the receiving groove 132; the second fool-proof structure 311 is the other of the groove a and the protrusion b, the second fool-proof structure 311 is connected with the wall of the replaceable key module 3, and the protrusion b is suitable for being located in the groove a; the groove wall of the accommodating groove 132 is further provided with a first clamping structure 133; the wall of the replaceable key module 3 has a second latch structure 312, and the second latch structure 312 corresponds to and is connected to the first latch structure 133.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the structure of the game pad at the receiving groove. Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the protrusion b is disposed on an inner wall of one side of the receiving groove 132, and the recess a is disposed on a wall of one side of the replaceable key module 3, when the replaceable module is assembled into the receiving groove 132, the recess a should be aligned with the protrusion b, and then the replaceable key module 3 is inserted into the receiving groove 132, otherwise the replaceable key module 3 cannot be assembled into the receiving groove 132.
Fig. 4 shows a possible connection between the replaceable key module 3 and the main body 1 of the handle based on the foolproof structure. For example, there may be two first clamping structures 133 on two opposite groove walls of the receiving groove 132, and the two first clamping structures 133 may be, for example, protrusions that protrude out of the groove walls of the receiving groove 132 or are flush with the groove walls of the receiving groove 132 under the actuation of the user. Two second clamping structures 312 are arranged on two opposite side walls of the key changing module, and the second clamping structures 312 are stoppers. When the replaceable key module 3 is inserted into the receiving cavity 132, the user-controlled protrusion is flush with the wall of the receiving cavity 132, so that the replaceable key module 3 can smoothly enter the receiving cavity 132; then, the control protrusion protrudes from the wall of the receiving groove 132 and abuts against the stop of the replaceable key module 3, so as to fasten the replaceable key module 3 in the receiving groove 132. When the replaceable key module 3 needs to be detached, the replaceable key module 3 can be taken out only by controlling the protrusion to be flush with the groove wall of the accommodating groove 132 again and contacting the buckle of the protrusion to the stop block.

Such standard grips are basically capable of meeting the operating and control requirements of most games.
The rocking bar 341 can satisfy the user's control requirement for the game character in all directions, so it usually needs to generate a certain displacement in the radial direction, and thus the size of the first hole 3131 needs to be larger than the maximum radial size of the rocking bar 341.
The single-point key 342 is generally only axially displaced, but not radially displaced, and thus the size of the second hole 3132 is equal to the maximum radial size of the single-point key 342. Illustratively, the single point keys 342 may be conductive glue keys.
FIG. 8 illustrates the structure of the second replaceable key module 3. As shown in FIG. 8, the at least two replaceable key modules 3 may include a second replaceable key module 320, the dedicated keys 34 of the second replaceable key module 320 including a single point key 342 and a plurality of direction keys 343; the housing 31 of the second replaceable key module 320 has a second hole 3132 and a plurality of third holes 3133, the number of the third holes 3133 is the same as that of the direction keys 343; the aperture of the second aperture 3132 is equal to the maximum radial dimension of the single-point key 342, and the single-point key 342 is located in the second aperture 3132; the aperture of the third hole 3133 is larger than the maximum radial dimension of the direction button 343 and smaller than the maximum radial dimension of the rocker 341, and the direction buttons 343 are respectively located in the third holes 3133.
The second replaceable key module 320 is adapted to operate a MOBA-type game. In a MOBA-type game, a user typically manipulates a game character to release a plurality of skills, and each time a skill is released, the user first needs to select one skill and then select the direction of release of the skill. For a conventional handle, the best component to perform the above operation is a rocker, one for each skill. However, due to the size of the joysticks and the range of motion required for operation, the number of joysticks that can be placed in the second region 120 of the handle is very limited, resulting in conventional handles that are not adaptable to a wide range of MOBA-type games.
And the direction button 343 in the second replaceable button module 320 can be displaced in the axial direction and in the radial direction because the aperture of the third hole 3133 in which the direction button 343 is located is larger than the maximum radial dimension. After the second replaceable key module 320 is assembled into the handle body 1, the direction key 343 in the second replaceable key module 320 can have a radial displacement, so that the skill can be selected, and the release direction of the skill can be selected, which is suitable for the operation of MOBA games.
The number and arrangement of the single-point keys 342 and the direction keys 343 can be determined according to the use requirement and the game content.
In some implementations of embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, each direction key 343 includes a rod 3431, a key cap 3432, a substrate 3433, and a number of pressure sensors 3434; one end of the rod 3431 is connected to the key cap 3432, and the other end is connected to the substrate 3433; the key cap 3432 protrudes from the third hole 3133 out of the panel of the case 31; the substrate 3433 is located inside the housing 31; the plurality of pressure sensors 3434 are connected to the substrate 3433 facing the key cap 3432, and are circumferentially arranged at equal intervals by using the axis of the rod 3431 as an axis, and each pressure sensor 3434 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 32.
Since the link rod connects the key cap 3432 and the substrate 3433, when a user presses a certain portion of the key cap 3432, the pressure transmitted by the link rod will act on the corresponding position of the substrate 3433, so that the substrate 3433 will slightly deform at the corresponding position, and the pressure sensor 3434 located at the deformed portion of the substrate 3433 can sense the deformation and output a corresponding electrical signal, so that the game device can select the skill and release direction corresponding to the electrical signal.
For example, the pressure sensor 3434 may be a patch pressure sensor, which has a resistance strain gauge therein, and since the patch pressure sensor is attached to the substrate 3433, when the substrate 3433 deforms, the resistance strain gauge also deforms, thereby changing its own resistance value. By utilizing the characteristic, the patch type pressure sensor can sense the deformation of the substrate 3433.
In addition, since the deformation amount of the substrate 3433 is very small, it is not necessary to reserve a moving space for the direction button 343, so that the limited space on the handle can be fully utilized, and more direction buttons 343 can be configured to further improve the adaptability of the handle.
In some embodiments of the present application, the substrate 3433 may be a printed circuit board or a flexible circuit board, and the substrate 3433 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 32 or the first circuit board 122; however, in other embodiments of the present application, the substrate 3433 may also be the second circuit board 32.
FIG. 11 illustrates the structure of a third type of replaceable key module 3. As shown in FIG. 11, the at least two replaceable key modules 3 include a third replaceable key module 330, and the dedicated keys 34 of the third replaceable key module 330 include a touch pad 344 and four single point keys 342; the housing 31 of the third replaceable key module 330 has a fourth hole 3134 and four second holes 3132, the four second holes 3132 are located outside the fourth hole 3134 and are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the fourth hole 3134; the touch pad 344 is located within the fourth hole 3134; the second aperture 3132 is equal to the maximum radial dimension of the single-point key 342, and the four single-point keys 342 are located in the four second apertures 3132, respectively.
The third replaceable key module 330 is adapted to operate an FPS-like game. In the FPS type game, the movement process of the user's finger when aiming at the target is fast and nonlinear, but in the conventional gamepad, the movement of the joystick and other key structures is linear due to structural limitations, which causes great deviation and delay in aiming, so that the conventional gamepad is not suitable for the FPS type game.
The touch pad 344 of the third replaceable key module 330 is not limited by the key structure, and can quickly and accurately collect the quick and non-linear finger movement process of the user when aiming at the target to obtain the finger movement track. The touch pad 344 may be electrically connected to the second circuit board 32 through a wire, so as to transmit the movement trace information to the second circuit board 32. In the third replaceable key module 330, four single-point keys 342 are further distributed around the touch pad 344, and the four single-point keys 342 are a/B/X/Y keys, respectively.
After the third replaceable key module 330 is assembled into the main body 1 of the handheld device, the touch pad in the third replaceable key module 330 can acquire nonlinear displacement, so that the target can be quickly aimed, and the method is suitable for operation of FPS games.
To sum up, the game paddle that this application embodiment provided sets up to dismantling between the removable button module 3 and the handle main part 1 and is connected for the user can adjust game paddle's button according to the type of recreation, thereby when the user is ready to play the new recreation different with the preceding recreation type, as long as purchase removable button module 3 that matches with this new recreation, then assemble it and can realize controlling this new recreation on handle main part 1, need not to purchase new game paddle, consequently improved game paddle to the suitability of different grade type recreation greatly, reduced the economic cost that the user need pay.
