Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this is an embodiment of the present invention, specifically: a rotation information input device, including two rotation information input mechanisms, namely two rotating along the Z axis and X axis in the figure, namely two first rotation shafts 2 are respectively arranged along the Z axis and the X axis. A connecting handle 5 is arranged on the mounting seat 1 of the rotation information input mechanism where the first rotation shaft 2 is arranged along the Z axis direction. The first rotation shafts 2 of the rotation information input mechanism are fixedly connected in sequence. Figure 1 As shown, the space occupied by the blocking body 22 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the rotation information input device can be reduced. When a third rotation information input mechanism rotating around the Y axis is required, its first rotation shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first rotation shaft 2 rotating around the Z axis and arranged along the Y axis, that is, the first rotation shaft 2 of any rotation information input mechanism and the first rotation shafts 2 of the other rotation information input mechanisms are arranged so that the axis center lines are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] The mounting seat 1 is provided with a first rotating shaft 2, a detection device for detecting the rotation information of the first rotating shaft 2, and a driving device connected to the first rotating shaft 2 in a transmission manner. The detection device is electrically connected to the driving device, and the driving device can be set to provide a rotation resistance for the first rotating shaft 2. The detection device is provided with a rotation information output interface. The mounting seat 1 is provided with a first rotating shaft 2, that is, the first rotating shaft 2 is rotationally connected to the mounting seat 1. The first rotating shaft 2 and the mounting seat 1 produce relative rotational motion, which can be either the rotation of the first rotating shaft 2 or the rotation of the mounting seat 1. That is, the connecting handle 5 can be set on the first rotating shaft 2 or on the mounting seat 1. The rotation information includes the rotation angle, the rotation speed, etc. The rotation information input mechanism includes the mounting seat 1, the mounting seat 1 includes a vertical plate 11, the driving body 41, the potentiometer body 31, and the first rotating shaft 2 are all connected to the vertical plate 11, the driving body 41 and the potentiometer body 31 are arranged on one side of the vertical plate 11, and the first gear 321 and the second gear 421 are arranged on the other side of the vertical plate 11. The driving device can be set as a DC reduction motor. The meshing connection is prone to dust accumulation, and the movement of the rotating information input mechanism makes the accumulated dust easily fly. By arranging the drive body 41 and the potentiometer body 31 on one side of the vertical plate 11 and the first gear 321 and the second gear 421 on the other side of the vertical plate 11, it is possible to better prevent dust and the like at the meshing connection from entering the drive body 41 and the potentiometer body 31, reduce the possibility of damage to the drive body 41 and the potentiometer body 31, and increase the service life of the drive body 41 and the potentiometer body 31.

[0026] The detection device includes an angle detection body, and a control device is also provided between the angle detection body and the driving device. The angle detection body, the control device, and the driving device are connected in sequence, that is, they are electrically connected in sequence. The control device is used to change the driving force of the driving device according to the detection information of the angle detection body. The detection device can be set to change the driving force of the driving device according to the size of the angle detected by the angle detection body. For example, the larger the angle, the greater the driving force, and the greater the resistance provided. A connecting body 21 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 2, and a first tooth segment 2111 is provided on the side wall of the connecting body 21; the angle detection body is set as a potentiometer, and the potentiometer includes a potentiometer body 31 and a second rotating shaft 32. A first gear 321 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 32, that is, the first gear 321 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 32 and is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 32, and the first gear 321 is meshed with the first tooth segment 2111. The transmission error of the meshing connection is smaller, so that the potentiometer can accurately detect the angle of the first rotating shaft 2, provide accurate feedback resistance for the user, and further improve the user experience.

[0027] The connecting body 21 includes a first wing plate 211 and a second wing plate 212. The first wing plate 211 and the second wing plate 212 are both arranged to be parallel to the vertical plate 11. The first tooth segment 2111 and the second tooth segment 2121 are respectively arranged at the end of the first wing plate 211 and the end of the second wing plate 212. The width of the first wing plate 211 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first tooth segment 2111, and the width of the second wing plate 212 gradually decreases in the direction away from the second tooth segment 2121. The gradually decreasing widths of the first wing plate 211 and the second wing plate 212 can not only ensure the meshing length of the first tooth segment 2111 and the second tooth segment 2121, but also reduce the space occupied by the connecting body 21, so that the connecting body 21 can be arranged closer to the mounting seat 1, making the rotation information input mechanism more compact and miniaturized as a whole. The first wing plate 211 and the second wing plate 212 can be set to be fan-shaped. In this embodiment, a connecting plate is also provided between the first wing plate 211 and the second wing plate 212, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 2. The distance between the first tooth segment 2111 and the first rotating shaft 2 is greater than the radius of the first gear 321, which can amplify the rotation angle signal of the first rotating shaft 2, improve the detection accuracy of the potentiometer, provide accurate feedback resistance to the user more accurately, and further improve the user experience. A second tooth segment 2121 is provided on the side wall of the connecting body 21, and the driving device includes a driving body 41 and a driving shaft 42. The driving shaft 42 is provided with a second gear 421, that is, the second gear 421 is sleeved on the driving shaft 42 and fixedly connected to the driving shaft 42, and the second gear 421 is meshed and connected with the second tooth segment 2121. The second gear 421 is meshed and connected with the second tooth segment 2121, and the connection between the driving device and the first rotating shaft 2 is smoother, further improving the user experience.

[0028] The rotation information input mechanism further includes a blocking body 22 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 2, and the blocking body 22 has a rotation path for moving to abut against the mounting seat 1, and the rotation is a relative rotation relative to the mounting seat 1. The blocking body 22 can prevent the first rotating shaft 2 from rotating excessively, and plays a role in limiting the rotation of the first rotating shaft 2. The blocking body 22 of one rotation information input mechanism is arranged on the first rotating shaft 2 of the adjacent rotation information input mechanism, that is, the blocking body 22 corresponding to the first rotating shaft 2 arranged along the X-axis direction is arranged on the first rotating shaft 2 arranged along the Z-axis direction, so that the blocking body 22 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 2.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
