Switch device

A switch device includes an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed, a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob, a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion, and a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged. The detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction.

Force feedback apparatus

Provided is a force feedback apparatus, including a housing, a rotation shaft fixed to the housing, a trigger movably connected to the rotation shaft and movable relative to the housing, and a force feedback assembly. The force feedback assembly includes a driving magnet fixed to a side of the trigger toward the housing, an iron core fixed to the housing and arranged opposite to the driving magnet, and a driving coil wound around the iron core. The driving coil is energized to interact with the driving magnet to generate force feedback on the trigger. The force feedback apparatus requires no additional transmission structure and directly provides force feedback through interaction between two driving elements, thereby realizing timely force feedback on the trigger and reducing the assembly difficulty while simplifying the structure. In addition, forces in two directions can be directly generated on the trigger by changing a driving current.
