Abstract

The present application provides a force feedback device, including a base; a button assembly, comprising a button body, a button formed by protruding and extending the button body away from the base, a first rotary shaft connected to one side of the button body close to the base and rotatably connected to the base, and a swing rod formed by extending on one side of the button body close to the base and rotatably connected to the first rotary shaft; a driving assembly including a driving unit fixed to one side of the base and an output shaft connected to the driving unit; a gear assembly rotatably arranged on the base. One end of the gear assembly is connected to the output shaft, and the other end thereof is connected to the swing rod.

Claims (20)

1. A force feedback device, comprising:

a base;

a button assembly, comprising:

a button body;

a button formed by protruding and extending from the button body in a direction away from the base;

a first rotary shaft connected to one side of the button body and rotatably connected to the base, wherein the base is closer to the one side of the button body than to an opposite side of the button body; and

a swing rod formed by extending from the one side of the button body and rotatably connected to the first rotary shaft;

a driving assembly comprising:

a driving unit fixed to one side of the base;

an output shaft connected to the driving unit;

a cover detachably fixed to the base and located outside the swing rod, and

a gear assembly rotatably arranged on the base, one end of the gear assembly being connected to the output shaft in a transmission manner, and the other end of the gear assembly being connected to the swing rod in a transmission manner, wherein,

the gear assembly comprises a first gear fixed to the output shaft, a second rotary shaft arranged on the base and connected to the base, a third rotary shaft arranged on the base and connected to the base, a first duplex gear connected to the second rotary shaft, and a second duplex gear connected to the third rotary shaft, a large gear of the first duplex gear is meshed with the first gear, a small gear of the first duplex gear is meshed with a large gear of the second duplex gear, the swing rod is provided with an inner tooth structure, and the inner tooth structure is meshed with a small gear of the second duplex gear,

the swing rod comprises a connecting portion fixed to one end of the first rotary shaft, an extending portion extended from the connecting portion to the gear assembly, and a transmission portion extended from the extending portion, a cross-sectional area of the extending portion is gradually increased in a direction from the connection portion to the transmission portion, the transmission portion is provided with an arc structure, and an inner side of the transmission portion is provided with an inner tooth structure, and

the cover is protruded to form an arc-shaped protrusion; an end of the extending portion is provided with an arc-shaped limiting portion, the arc-shaped protrusion is located on an axis of the second duplex gear, and the limiting portion is contacted with the arc-shaped protrusion to achieve mutual limiting.

2. The force feedback device of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first gear is smaller than a diameter of the first duplex gear, and a diameter of the first duplex gear is smaller than a diameter of the second duplex gear.

3. The force feedback device of claim 1 , wherein the swing rod is contacted with or separated from the button body.

4. The force feedback device of claim 1 , further comprising a first position sensor and a second position sensor, wherein the first position sensor is fixed on the third rotary shaft, and the second position sensor is fixed on the one side of the button body.

5. The force feedback device of claim 4 , wherein the second position sensor comprises a Hall sensor fixed on the base and a magnetic steel fixed on the button body, wherein the Hall sensor is located within a magnetic field range of the magnetic steel.

6. The force feedback device of claim 1 , further comprising a torsion spring, wherein the torsion spring is sleeved on the first rotary shaft; one end of the torsion spring is snap-fitted with the button, and the other end of the torsion spring is snap-fitted with the base.
