Abstract:
1. A button structure used in a game controller in which a circuit board is disposed, comprising: a button body assembled in a front face of the game controller; a base frame fixed in the game controller and located parallelly over the circuit board, the button body being pivoted to a front end of the base frame, a rear of the base frame defining an arc-shaped guide slot extending along a front-to-rear direction; a sliding part with a guide channel being transversely opened in a rear thereof, the sliding part being slidably mounted on the base frame along the front-to-rear direction and abutting against the back of the button body under the elasticity of an elastic part which is flexibly disposed between the sliding part and the base frame; and a rotating part with electronic components being fixed thereon and away from a rotation axis thereof, a guide pillar being protruded at a position of the rotating part away from the rotation axis, the rotating part being rotatably mounted to the rear of the base frame through the rotation axis thereof being pivoted to the centre of a circle of the guide slot, the rotating part being parallelly rotatable between the base frame and the circuit board, the guide pillar passing through the guide slot to be slidably inserted in the guide channel of the sliding part; wherein the sliding part can slide on the base frame along the front-to-rear direction by virtue of the push of the button body and the elastic part, the sliding of the sliding part can drive the guide pillar to slide rearward and forward along the guide slot under the cooperation of the guide slot and the guide channel and further drive the rotating part to rotate with respect to the circuit board, the rotation of the rotating part further drives the electronic components to electrically connect with or disconnect from the circuit board.
