The screen panel is adaptively mounted in the screen mounting groove on the mounting panel of the light blocking body 5, and the electrical performance flexible cable passes through the mounting panel of the light blocking body 5 and is electrically connected to the plug-in circuit board 11.

[0045] In the pull-press knob switch of the present invention, the pull-press assembly includes a decorative knob collar 1, a button cover plate 2, and a knob bracket 8. The knob bracket 8 includes a sleeved portion and a ring-shaped mounting portion formed at the upper end of the sleeved portion with an upward flanging at the radial outer edge. The sleeved portion is slidably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the annular cylinder of the rotary bracket 9. A circle of gear positions grooves is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeved portion. The upper and lower parts of the gear positions grooves are closely fitted with the cylinder on the base 10 and can slide up and down. The upward flanging of the ring-shaped mounting portion is snap-fixed and assembled with the button cover plate 2. The components of the follower assembly between the button cover plate 2 and the knob bracket 8 are arranged in a non-interfering manner in terms of structure. The button cover plate 2 is a whole cover plate with a downward flanging. The button cover plate 2 is inserted and mounted on the outer wall of the upward flanging of the ring-shaped mounting portion of the knob bracket 8 through its downward flanging. The decorative knob collar 1 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the downward flanging of the button cover plate 2. After installation, the convex rib 2-1 on the bottom surface of the button cover plate 2 presses in the top surface groove 5-1 of the mounting panel of the light blocking body 5. The area of the button cover plate 2 facing the screen panel is set as a light-transmitting display area, and the area of the button cover plate 2 facing the top surface of the flanging of the second disc-shaped mounting portion of the light guide body 6 is set as a light-transmitting aperture, and other areas are not light-transmitting.

[0046] In the push-pull rotary switch of the present invention, when the key cover plate 2 is rotated by the decorative knob ferrule 1, the push-pull assembly rotates together, and then drives the annular cylinder body of the encoder 12-1 to rotate. The annular cylinder body rotates to different circumferential positions to generate different position signals, and the position signals are transmitted to the plug-in circuit board 11. When the key cover plate 2 moves up and down under force, it drives the knob bracket 8, the screen assembly 3, the light shielding body 5, the light guide body 6, the slider 7, and the magnetic element 11 to move up and down along the inner hole wall of the annular cylinder body of the rotary bracket 9. Under the action of the magnetic element 11, the corresponding Hall device on the plug-in circuit board 12 is in contact conduction. At this time, the LED light source assembly is in a lighting state under the control of the plug-in circuit board 12. The light emitted by the LED light source assembly enters the annular cylinder body of the encoder 12-1. Under the action of the light shielding body 5, the light is guided along the light guide body 6 and emitted from the aperture of the key cover plate 2 to form a breathing light. And at this time, the plug-in circuit board 12 outputs the position signal generated by the encoder 12-1 to the screen assembly 3 through the electrical performance cable.

[0047] In the push-pull rotary switch of the present invention, the elastic assembly includes a bullet head 15, a spring 16, and a plug 17. The base 10 includes a bottom plug-in circuit board mounting position and a guide cylinder for mounting the elastic assembly.

[0048] More specifically, referring to Figures 1-7 , in the push-pull rotary switch of the present invention, an encoder 12-1, a control ic, and resistors and capacitors are arranged on the plug-in circuit board 12. LEDs and Hall devices are arranged at the inner hole position of the encoder for providing light sources for the breathing aperture and push-pull switch signals.

[0049] The push-pull assembly includes a decorative knob ferrule 1, a key cover plate 2, and a knob bracket 8. The decorative knob ferrule 1 is fixed to the key cover plate 2 by a buckle. The outer circle of the gear position groove of the sleeved part of the knob bracket 8 can slide up and down and rotate along the inner wall of the upper cylinder of the base 10, and the inner circle of the sleeved part slides up and down in the outer circle groove of the knob bracket 9. The rotary bracket 9 is tightly connected to the outer circle of the encoder by three buckles, and drives the encoder 12-1 to rotate through the rotary bracket 9 to achieve the adjustment function.

[0050] The follower assembly includes a light-blocking body 5, a light guide body 6, a screen assembly 3, and a slider 7. The design of the light guide body 6 takes into account the design of uniform light guiding. Then, through an anti-fooling structure and an interference fit, it is arranged inside the slider 7 to prevent the light guide body 6 from shaking. The light-blocking body 5 is arranged inside the light guide body and is tightly connected to the slider 7 through a buckle. The inner groove at the upper end of the light-blocking body 5 fixes the screen assembly 3 through a double-sided adhesive component 4, so as to ensure that the entire follower assembly is an integral whole. The hollow structure of the follower assembly facilitates the passing of the wiring of the screen assembly 3. The follower assembly is arranged between the button cover plate 2 and the knob bracket 8. A circle of evenly distributed elastic protrusions 8-1 is arranged inside the knob bracket 8, which contacts the lower plane of the slider 7 of the follower assembly. The rib 2-1 inside the button cover plate 2 presses the light-blocking body 5 of the follower assembly to ensure that the follower assembly does not shake inside the pulling and pressing assembly. After installing the knob bracket 8, the follower assembly is assembled into the encoder 12-1 of the plug-in circuit board. The outer circumference of the lower end of the slider 7 is in sectional cooperation with the slots arranged on the inner hole wall of the encoder 12-1 through evenly arranged ribs. In the upper and lower sections of the section, the ribs on the slider 7 and the slots on the encoder 12-1 are vertically matched, and in the middle section, the ribs on the slider 7 and the slots on the encoder 12-1 are inclinedly matched, so as to ensure that the entire follower assembly can slide up and down inside the encoder 12-1. The screen assembly 3 is electrically connected to the plug-in circuit board 12.

[0051] Three groups of elastic components are assembled on the base 10. The warhead 15 is matched with the warhead hole on the base 10. Through the elastic force of the spring 16 and the plug 17, the warhead 15 is always in close contact with the gear position groove 8-2 on the outer circle of the sleeved part of the knob bracket 8 and can slide relative to each other. Specifically, by changing the positions of the upper pull gear position groove 8-2 and the lower press gear position groove 8-2 arranged on the outer circle of the sleeved part of the knob bracket 8, the compression amount of the spring 16 compressed by the warhead 15 changes, thereby generating the switch feel.

[0052] When the pulling and pressing assembly moves up and down, it drives the follower assembly and the magnetic element 11 installed at the lower end of the slider 7 to move up and down, causing the magnetic field above the Hall device on the plug-in circuit board 12 to change. Different signal amounts are generated by the Hall device through the magnetic field change, thereby realizing the switch function.

[0053] The surface of the button cover plate 2 is treated so that only the display area and the aperture can transmit light through the spraying and laser engraving process. The structure of the button cover plate 2 refers to Figure 5 As shown, a circular rib 2-1 is arranged between the screen display and the aperture inside it and contacts the groove of the light-blocking body 5 on the follower assembly. The follower assembly makes the button 2 always in contact with the follower assembly through the elastic force of the elastic protrusion 8-1 of the knob bracket 8. The ribs at the lower end of the slider 7 of the follower assembly are inserted into the rib grooves of the inner hole of the encoder, so as to ensure that the pulling and pressing assembly can only drive the follower assembly to slide up and down and cannot rotate with the pulling and pressing assembly.

[0054] In summary, the pull - press function of the rotary switch with built - in breathing light and display is realized. At the same time, non - contact Hall devices are used, which ensures the performance of the product and improves the service life and safety of the rotary switch. At the same time, the structural design of the whole product is very reasonable and compact. Each component plays multiple roles, reducing the number of components and saving costs.

[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the scope of the present invention.
