Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary switches, and in particular to a rotary switch with a child lock structure. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary switches are widely used in the field of electronic equipment control, but existing products have many problems.

[0003] In terms of safety, ordinary rotary switches lack child protection, and accidental operation by children may cause equipment malfunctions, leading to burns, fires, and other safety accidents, even endangering lives in medical devices. Operationally, the direct rotation method is prone to accidental activation; for example, when adjusting volume or playback progress, unintentional touches can change the switch's state, affecting usability. Regarding functionality and stability, adjustments lack precise control, and accidental rotation is easily caused by vibration or external forces; for example, in vehicle-mounted devices, bumps can cause parameters to malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rotary switch with a child lock structure, based on the current state of the technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is: a rotary switch with a child lock structure, comprising a rotary switch body, characterized in that the rotary switch body comprises:

[0012] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by setting the rotary switch body to include a housing, circuit board, stop block, rotor component and shaft core component, the shaft core component is unlocked by pressing and drives the rotor component to rotate, which greatly improves safety and prevents children from accidentally operating it and causing danger.

The rotation of the rotor drives the pins of the adjustment section to move on the annular resistor layer, changing the resistance value, thereby easily adjusting the function of electrical equipment, such as precisely adjusting the brightness of lights, motor speed, etc., to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0017] Preferably, a damping block is provided extending along the rotor component on the damping part, and a limiting block for limiting the rotation of the rotor component is provided extending along the damping block on the stop block.

[0018] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by setting a damping block extending along the rotor component on the damping part, and setting a limit block extending along the damping block on the rotor component for limiting the rotation of the rotor component: the rotation range is precisely limited, preventing the rotor component from being damaged due to excessive rotation, ensuring that the rotary switch works stably within the design range, improving reliability, extending the product service life, and ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0019] Preferably, the circuit board is provided with connection ports.

[0020] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by setting connection ports on the circuit board, it is convenient to realize circuit connection, can be quickly connected to the circuit system of various electrical equipment, adapt to different electronic components, enhance the versatility of rotary switches, and facilitate application in a variety of devices.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a rotary switch body including a housing, circuit board, stop block, rotor component, and shaft core component, the positions and connections of each component and the operation mode of the shaft core component are clearly defined, which not only enhances safety and prevents accidental operation by children, but also optimizes the operation logic to reduce accidental touches, and the compact structure facilitates space utilization. The damping and adjustment parts on the rotor component, together with the elastic damping beads and the protrusions inside the housing, provide a good operating feel and increase rotational stability. The annular resistor layer on the circuit board and the pins of the adjustment part realize functional adjustment. The damping block and the limit block limit the rotation range and ensure stability.

[0053] In this embodiment 2,

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, by setting up a rotary switch body 1 including a housing 2, a circuit board 3, a stop block 4, a rotor 5, and a shaft core 6, the positions and connections of each component and the operation mode of the shaft core 6 are clearly defined.

[0055] In this embodiment 3,

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 Figure 4 As shown, when the rotary switch needs to be operated, the user presses down on the shaft core 6.
