DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the circular rotary switch with reset of the utility model includes a shell base 1, which is provided with a plurality of pin openings 2. The pin openings 2 are located at the center position and the peripheral position of the bottom of the shell base 1. There is one pin opening 2 at the middle position, and the pin opening 2 at the middle position is installed with a first pin 31. There are twelve pin openings 2 at the peripheral side, and the second pin 32 is placed in the pin opening 2 at the peripheral side. The shell base 1 is installed with a shell cover 4, which is provided with a spring groove 5. The shell cover 4 is provided with a knob opening 6 at the center position. The shell cover 4 is provided with a rotation groove 7 centered on the knob opening 6. The edge of the rotation groove 7 is equidistantly provided with limiting bosses 8. A blocking platform 9 is provided between the rotation groove 7 and the spring groove 5. The blocking platform 9 is provided with a bayonet 10 connected to the rotation groove 7.

[0026] A rotary disk 11 is installed between the housing base 1 and the housing cover 4. The rotary disk 11 is connected to a knob 12 located in the knob opening 6. The rotary disk 11 is provided with a resistance slide 13. The resistance slide 13 is located in the spring groove 5. An annular spring 14 is connected between the resistance slide 13 and the blocking platform 9. A placement groove 15 is provided on the lower side of the rotary disk 11. A contact piece 16 is placed in the placement groove 15. The contact piece 16 is provided with a contact point 17 corresponding to the first pin 31 and the second pin 32;

[0027] A through hole 18 is provided in the rotary disc 11 , and a straight spring 19 is placed in the through hole 18 . Both ends of the straight spring 19 are connected to balls 20 , and the balls 20 contact the limiting boss 8 .

[0028] In this embodiment, when using the circular rotary switch with reset, rotating the knob 12 drives the rotary disk 11 to rotate in the shell base 1 and the shell cover 4. Under the effect of the straight spring 19, the balls 20 at both ends of the straight spring 19 always contact the limit boss 8. When the balls 20 at both ends are located in the gap between the two adjacent limit bosses 8, a sound is generated. When climbing another limit boss 8, resistance is given, so the user is given good rotation feedback, indicating that the rotation has entered the next gear. The setting of the twelve second pins 32 indicates that this structure has twelve gears and is highly adaptable. Each change in gear, that is, each rotation, will drive the contact piece 16 installed in the placement groove 15 to rotate accordingly, so that the first pin 31 changes the contact with the second pin 32, thereby ensuring the purpose of gear adjustment.

[0029] When there is no external force on the knob 12, under the effect of the annular spring 14, the abutment slide 13 returns to its position in the spring groove 5. When the ball 20 returns to the position of the bayonet 10, because the depth of the bayonet 10 is greater than the depth of the gap between the two adjacent limiting bosses 8, after the ball 20 is stuck in the bayonet 10, the annular spring 14 will not be able to push it again, causing the turntable 11 to stay in position, and this position is the reset position, thus achieving the purpose of automatic reset.

[0030] Preferably, the shell base 1 is provided with a number of arc-shaped bosses 26 corresponding to the number of pin holes 2, and the arc-shaped bosses 26 are located between two adjacent pin holes 2. With this design, during rotation, the arc-shaped bosses 26 will lift the contact piece 16, thereby preventing the contacts 17 on the contact piece 16 from wearing during the rotation process. In fact, the structural shape of the arc-shaped bosses 26 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Preferably, the contact surface of the limiting boss 8 is arc-shaped. Such a design makes it easier to cooperate with the ball 20. In fact, the shape of the contact surface of the limiting boss 8 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.

[0032] Preferably, a snap-fit ​​connection is adopted between the shell cover 4 and the shell base 1. The shell cover 4 is provided with an anti-foolproof strip 21 and the shell base 1 is provided with an anti-foolproof groove 22. Such a design is quick and convenient to install and the installation position is not easy to make mistakes. In fact, the anti-foolproof connection structure of the shell cover 4 and the shell base 1 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.

[0033] Preferably, the placement slot 15 is connected to two slots 23, and the contact piece 16 is integrally provided with an insert 24 whose specifications and dimensions match the slot 23. A circular spring 25 is installed between the contact piece 16 and the placement slot 15. This design limits the movement of the contact piece 16 while the circular spring 25 can resist the contact piece 16 to ensure the contact strength between the contact piece 16 and the first pin 31 and the second pin 32. In fact, the limiting structure of the contact piece 16 and the structure that ensures the contact strength of the contact piece 16 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein shall be covered by the claims of the present invention.
