Problems solved by technology

[0003] Based on the above, common variable resistors can be roughly divided into reciprocating sliding variable resistors and rotary variable resistors according to their structures, and the structure of rotary variable resistors can also be divided into single-turn resistors and multi-turn resistors. The structure of the coil resistance, the variable resistor of the single-turn resistance type is mainly provided with contacts at both ends of the C-type resistance of a circle, so it can move back and forth between the two ends to generate a voltage division signal, while the multi-turn resistance Variable resistors mainly use multi-turn C-type resistors to generate multiple voltage division signals; however, although multi-turn resistance variable resistors can output more voltage division signals, due to the structure of multi-turn resistance Increase the complexity of the manufacturing process, making it difficult to produce, so it will increase the cost relatively

Regardless of whether it is a single-turn resistance type or a multi-turn resistance type rotary variable resistor, the rotation angle will be limited due to the structure of the C-type electric group.
