In addition, the area swept by the end faces of the brush and the signal terminal is a fan-shaped contact surface. As long as there is a slight deviation in the inner and outer contact areas of the fan-shaped contact surface, it will affect the stability and accuracy of the output signal.

[0039] Since the ball contact 213 and the signal terminal are in point contact, the distance between the contact point between the ball contact 213 and the signal terminal and the rotation center of the brush body 2 is always kept constant, and there is no sudden change in the contact point position. Therefore, it will not be affected by process errors. It can avoid precision errors between the brush body 2 and the signal terminal after manufacturing, which will cause deviations when the brush body 2 contacts the signal terminal, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the output signal.

[0040] In addition, the signal terminal is embedded in the side wall of the columnar receiving groove 10, so that the brush body 2 and the signal terminal body 1 are in side contact and conduction, which subverts the traditional way of end line contact and conduction between the brush body 2 and the signal terminal body 1, and the contact surface between the ball contact 213 and the signal terminal is a cylindrical surface, which also ensures that the distance between the contact point of the ball contact 213 and the signal terminal and the rotation center of the brush body 2 always remains constant, and there is no contact deviation, which can further improve the stability and accuracy of the output signal.

The extension arm 212 is evenly spaced along the side wall of the base body 211, and the base body 211 is fixed on the brush plastic body 22.

[0043] Since the brush 21 is provided with an extension arm 212, the ball contact 213 is correspondingly arranged on the extension end of the extension arm 212. The extension arm 212 extends outward at an angle and has a tendency to return to its original shape when squeezed. Therefore, a reliable lateral force can be provided for the ball contact 213, so that the ball contact 213 can reliably contact and conduct with the signal terminal point.

Similarly, the B-pin terminal embedding groove 112 is provided with a second receiving groove matching the shape of the second contact column 131, and a second protrusion matching the shape of the second notch 132. The second contact column 131 is filled in the second receiving groove, and the second protrusion is filled in the second notch 132, forming a mutual fit. When the brush body 2 drives the ball contact 213 to rotate, the ball contact 213 is alternately contacted and abutted with the second contact column 131 and the second protrusion, respectively, to form a connection and disconnection with the B-pin terminal 13.

When the positioning rotor 3 rotates, the elastic clamping body 43 alternately slides out and clamps in different positioning tooth grooves 33, and is clamped with the positioning tooth groove 33 to position the rotation position of the positioning rotor 3. The elastic clamping body 43 can be a cantilever stamped out from the top plate 41 of the bracket 4, and a bent portion that cooperates with the positioning tooth is stamped on the free end of the cantilever.
