Abstract

The present invention relates to a push action assisting device for mechanically pressing a push button, which assists a user's act of pressing a push button. It is configured to provide a mechanical press action for the push button in response to a user's press (touch) action. In a push action assisting device for mechanically pressing a push button of a game console, the device comprises: a lower cover and an upper cover forming the exterior; a height adjustment unit; a DC motor; a reduction gear unit and a reduction rotation shaft eccentrically coupled to a push rod operating unit that presses the push rod downward so that the push rod moves up and down repeatedly; a DC motor control unit; a push rod unit; a drive control unit; an LCD output window; a function switch unit installed on the upper surface of the upper cover and composed of a plurality of switches for inputting a power ON/OFF signal and a decrease or increase in the rotation speed of the DC motor to the drive control unit; a soft switch installed on the upper surface of the upper cover, which allows input with relatively less force than the push button for the user to input a press action, and a power unit. By assisting the pressing action and mechanically providing the pressing action for the push button, it has the effect of preventing problems that may occur in the user's fingers or wrists when the user repeatedly performs the pressing action for a long time.

Description

Pressing action auxiliary device for mechanically pressing a push-button The present invention relates to a pressing action assisting device for mechanically pressing a push button used for command input, such as in a game console, and more particularly to a pressing action assisting device that allows a user to perform a pressing action on a push button more comfortably and to perform the pressing action with a fixed pressing time and force. Push buttons installed on devices such as game consoles are generally structured to register input only when pressure is applied using elastic means such as springs; consequently, there is a problem where significant strain is placed on the fingers when the push button is pressed repeatedly with a finger for a long period of time. In order to solve such problems, prior art application number 20-2008-0001853, "automatic button pressing device for game console," has been disclosed. The above prior art relates to an automatic button pressing device for a game console, and more specifically, to an automatic button pressing device for a game console that presses the buttons of a home game console or a game room game console at desired time intervals. The prior art comprises: a body having a certain weight to maintain stability when pressing the button, and having a hole protruding from the upper part through which an on/off switch and an operation switch provided in the control unit below and a lamp provided to check the operation status of said switch are installed, and having an insertion part in the lower part into which said operating part and control unit are inserted, and having a space formed in the center in a "Π" shape so that a solenoid can operate when the body is placed on the top of the game console button and said operating part is operated; and an operating part that supplies power to the solenoid to generate magnetic force in the coil, moves an operating rod to the side where magnetic force is generated to press the button, and presses the button of the game console by returning the operating rod to its original state through a spring provided on one side after cutting off the power supply. The device is inserted into the insertion part of the body and controls the operation of the operating part, and is characterized by including a control unit having an on/off switch for controlling power supply, an operating switch for controlling whether a solenoid provided in the operating part is operated, a lamp for checking the operating state of the switch, and a time controller for controlling the operating interval of an operating rod provided in the solenoid. However, the above-mentioned automatic button pressing device has a problem in that it is developed for the purpose of automatically repeating the pressing action and is not intended to assist the user's pressing action itself. In other words, since it automates the pressing action rather than assisting the user's pressing motion itself, there is a problem in that it cannot assist the user's pressing motion itself.
