Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive manufacturing technology, and in particular to a custom control device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing car buttons often optimize user choices through customizable functions, but these buttons generally use traditional hardware buttons. When multiple vehicle users share the same car, it is difficult to distinguish the functions of the customizable buttons. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application primarily addresses the technical problem in existing technologies where users find it difficult to distinguish the types of custom button functions, and provides a custom control device that switches icons while switching functions.
[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems and achieve the objectives of the application, this application provides a custom control device, characterized in that it includes,
[0005] Fixture;
[0006] The control body includes components arranged along a first direction within the fixed frame. The control body includes a circuit board for operating the functions of the custom control device. The control body also includes a drive assembly for driving the control body to operate.
[0007] A display component is provided, corresponding to the control body, and is disposed on the surface of the driving component. The display component is connected to the circuit board.
[0008] The display component is equipped with icons, which are used to indicate the current function type of the custom control device, and the icons correspond one-to-one with the function type of the custom control device.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the control body includes,
[0010] A drive component that can reciprocate under the drive of an external force;
[0011] A circuit board is located on one side of the driving assembly along the first direction. A first touch sensing device is connected to the circuit board, and the first touch sensing device is correspondingly arranged with the driving assembly.
[0012] During the reciprocating motion of the drive component, the drive component contacts or moves away from the first touch sensing device to adjust the functional state of the custom control device.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the fixing frame includes,
[0014] A first fixed frame, wherein a receiving cavity is provided inside the first fixed frame along a first direction, and the driving component is located on one side of the first fixed frame along the first direction;
[0015] A front cover plate is disposed between the drive assembly and the first fixed frame, and the first end of the drive assembly extends into the first fixed frame through the front cover plate.
[0016] A second fixing bracket is disposed on the side of the first fixing bracket away from the drive assembly, and the first fixing bracket is connected to the second fixing bracket.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the control body further includes,
[0018] A transmission assembly, the drive assembly and the transmission assembly are arranged sequentially in the fixed frame along the first direction, and the circuit board is disposed on the side of the transmission assembly away from the drive assembly;
[0019] The drive component moves up and down under the drive of an external force. The transmission component is used to switch the up and down movement of the drive component to a forward and backward movement relative to the first touch sensing device, so as to contact or move away from the first touch sensing device, switch the function type of the custom control device, and switch the icon.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the driving component rotates circumferentially around the first direction under the drive of an external force to contact or move away from the touch sensing device;
[0021] The display component is provided with a second touch sensor at its bottom along the first direction. The second touch sensor is connected to the circuit board. The display component moves up and down relative to the second touch sensor along the first direction to contact or move away from the second touch sensor, and to switch the function type of the custom control device and switch the icon.
[0022] In one possible embodiment, a transverse sliding hole is provided through the first fixing frame along a first direction;
[0023] The drive assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the drive assembly is rotatably connected to the first fixing frame about a third direction. The drive assembly is provided with a first position and a second position along a second direction.
[0024] The transmission assembly includes a transverse frame.
[0025] The transverse frame is disposed between the drive assembly and the circuit board. The first end of the transverse frame is disposed corresponding to the first touch sensing device, and the second end of the transverse frame passes through the transverse hole and abuts against the second position.
[0026] In one possible embodiment, a fixing hole is provided inside the first fixing frame along the first direction;
[0027] A limiting hole is provided at the first position of the driving component along the first direction, and the limiting hole is provided with a first sidewall and a second sidewall on both sides of the second direction.
[0028] The transmission assembly further includes a limiting block, the first end of which is connected to the fixing hole, and the second end of which is located within the limiting hole; wherein...
[0029] As the drive assembly rotates, the limiting hole moves up and down relative to the second end of the limiting block along the second direction and abuts against the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively, thereby limiting the drive assembly in the second direction.
[0030] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly further includes a reset plate disposed between the circuit board and the transverse frame. A reset post is disposed at the corresponding position of the reset plate and the transverse frame. The reset post is disposed along the first direction and is movably connected to the reset plate. The reset post is made of an elastic material. The first end of the reset post abuts against the transverse frame, and the second end of the reset post contacts or moves away from the first touch sensing device.
[0031] In one embodiment, the reset plate is fixed to the side of the circuit board near the drive assembly, and the second fixing bracket is disposed on the side of the circuit board away from the drive assembly to form protection for the circuit board.
[0032] In one possible embodiment, the drive assembly is rotatably connected to the first fixed frame via a rotating device; wherein, the drive assembly includes a rotating state and a reset state.
[0033] The drive assembly deflects under the drive of an external force to form the rotation state, and the reset column is compressed. In the rotation state, the transverse frame makes contact with the first touch sensing device through the reset column.
[0034] The drive assembly switches the rotation state to the reset state by the compressive force of the reset column. In the reset state, the transverse frame moves away from the first touch sensing device.
[0035] In one embodiment, the driving assembly includes a fixed post and a rotating sleeve. The rotating sleeve is sleeved over the fixed post. The fixed post is fixedly connected to the reset plate. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the fixed post. Contact blocks are spaced apart circumferentially at the bottom of the rotating sleeve, forming a contact gap between two of the contact blocks.
[0036] As the rotating sleeve rotates, when the contact block passes the first touch sensing device, it forms contact between the driving component and the first touch sensing device. When the contact gap passes the first touch sensing device, it causes the driving component to move away from the first touch sensing device, thereby adjusting the functional state of the custom control device.
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the customized control device of this application has the following advantages:
[0038] In actual use, when switching the function type of the custom control device, the icon on the display component will also switch to the icon corresponding to the function type of the current custom control component, so that users can clearly distinguish the function of the current custom control device, avoid users from excessively observing the buttons while driving, and further ensure driving safety.
[0039] Therefore, this application has the characteristics of reasonable structure and convenient use. Attached Figure Description

[0065] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0066] The existing technology presents a technical problem where users find it difficult to distinguish the functions of custom buttons.
[0067] Therefore, this application provides a custom control device, including,
[0068] Fixture;
[0069] The control body includes components arranged along a first direction within the fixed frame. The control body includes a circuit board for operating the functions of the custom control device. The control body also includes a drive assembly for driving the control body to operate.
[0070] A display component is provided, corresponding to the control body, and is disposed on the surface of the driving component. The display component is connected to the circuit board.
[0071] The display component is equipped with icons, which are used to indicate the current function type of the custom control device, and the icons correspond one-to-one with the function type of the custom control device.
[0072] Example:
[0073] Appendix Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one possible structure of the custom control device described in this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a custom control device, which is applicable to terminal products such as automobiles and home appliances.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first direction X of this application refers to the width direction of the custom control device, that is, the front-to-back direction of the custom control device. In the custom control device, the drive component 210 is in front of the second fixed frame 130. The second direction Z of this application refers to the height direction of the custom control device, that is, the vertical direction of the custom control device. In the custom control device, the top is at the top and the bottom is at the bottom. The third direction Y of this application refers to the length direction of the custom control device, that is, the left-to-right direction of the custom control device.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the custom control device provided in this application includes a control body 200 and a mounting frame 100. The components within the control body 200 are arranged within the mounting frame 100 along a first direction X. The control body 200 includes a drive assembly 210, a limit block 222, a transverse frame 221, a reset plate 223, and a circuit board 230 arranged along the first direction X. A first touch sensor 240 is correspondingly arranged on the circuit board 230, and the first touch sensor 240 is correspondingly arranged with the transverse frame 221. A display assembly is correspondingly arranged with the control body 200, and further, the display assembly is correspondingly arranged with the drive assembly 210. The display assembly 300 is connected to the circuit board 230. The display assembly 300 can display the current function type of the control body 200, and the function type of the current custom control device can be switched via the display assembly or the control body 200.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, multiple control entities are configured, i.e., multiple drive components 210 are configured, to form a diversified control system for the customized control device. The multiple drive components 210 are arranged side by side along the third direction Y.
[0077] In this application, the drive component 210 includes two types: one is a triangular drive component 210 that rotates about a third direction Y, and the other is a cylindrical drive component 210 that rotates about a first direction X.
[0078] The drive component 210 can reciprocate under the drive of an external force. When the drive component 210 is a triangular drive component 210, the external force refers to the user's hand force to move the drive component 210 up and down, thereby achieving the up-and-down linear motion of the drive component 210 and further driving the transmission component 220. Alternatively, when the drive component 210 is a cylindrical drive component 210, the external force refers to the user's hand force to drive the drive component 210 to perform circumferential rotational motion. Reciprocating motion includes both up-and-down linear reciprocating motion and circumferential rotational reciprocating motion. Furthermore, the drive component 210 can be classified according to its motion mode, including triangular drive components 210 with up-and-down linear motion and cylindrical drive components 210 with circumferential rotational motion. Under the action of an external force, the triangular drive component 210 triggers the first touch sensor 240 through its up-and-down linear reciprocating motion, that is, the up-and-down linear reciprocating motion of the triangular drive component 210 causes the transmission component 220 to contact or move away from the first touch sensor 240. The cylindrical drive assembly 210 is triggered by circumferential rotation under the action of external force, that is, the cylindrical drive assembly 210 moves closer to or further away from the first touch sensing device 240 by circumferential rotation.
[0079] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1As shown, when the drive component 210 is a triangular drive component 210, the transmission component 220 is disposed on one side of the drive component 210 along the first direction X, and the transmission component 220 moves synchronously with the drive component 210. That is, after the drive component 210 achieves up-and-down linear reciprocating motion, the drive component 210 transmits the motion to the transmission component 220, and the transmission component 220 moves synchronously. Furthermore, the transmission component 220 can switch the up-and-down motion of the drive component 210 along the second direction Z to the back-and-forth motion of the transmission component 220 along the first direction X.
[0080] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 includes a front cover plate 120, a first mounting bracket 110, and a second mounting bracket 130 sequentially along the first direction X. The front cover plate 120 is connected to the side of the first mounting bracket 110 closest to the drive assembly 210. The front cover plate 120 covers the periphery of the drive assembly 210 and the first mounting bracket 110, and its surface is smooth without any protrusions to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the first mounting bracket 110 and the drive assembly 210. The side of the first mounting bracket 110 furthest from the front cover plate 120 is connected to the second mounting bracket 130.
[0081] In one embodiment, the front cover plate 120 is fastened to the first fixing frame 110. The first fixing frame 110 is fastened to the second fixing frame 130.
[0082] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 220 includes a limiting block 222 and a transverse frame 221. The limiting block 222 and the transverse frame 221 are sequentially arranged along a first direction X. The limiting block 222 is positioned closer to the drive assembly 210 than the transverse frame 221. The transverse frame 221 is positioned between the first fixed frame 110 and the reset plate 223. The limiting block 222 is positioned between the drive assembly 210 and the first fixed frame 110. Further, the transverse frame 221 has a first side and a second side formed along the first direction X. The first side of the transverse frame 221 abuts against the drive assembly 210, and the second side abuts against the reset plate 223. The limiting block 222 also has a first side and a second side formed along the first direction X. The first side of the limiting block 222 is fixedly connected to the first fixed frame 110, and the second side of the limiting block 222 is used to limit the rotation angle of the triangular drive assembly 210.
[0083] The transverse frame 221, the reset plate 223 and the circuit board 230 are arranged between the first fixed frame 110 and the second fixed frame 130 along the first direction X. Furthermore, the reset plate 223 is connected to the circuit board 230 and the circuit board 230 is connected to the second fixed frame 130.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, the cover plate 120 has an inlet 121 extending through it in one direction. When the drive assembly 210 is a triangular drive assembly 210, one end of the front drive assembly 210 passes through the inlet 121 and is rotatably connected to the first fixing frame 110. When the drive assembly 210 is a cylindrical drive assembly, one end of the drive assembly 210 passes through the inlet 121 and is fixedly connected to the reset plate 223. In one embodiment, the number of inlets 121 corresponds to the number of drive assemblies 210.
[0085] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, when the driving component 210 is a triangular driving component 210, the display component is disposed on one side of the driving component 210 along the second direction Z. In one embodiment, the display component is disposed above the driving component 210. The relative positional relationship between the display component and the driving component 210 depends on the specific application scenario and is not limited to disposing the display component above the driving component 210.
[0086] In one embodiment, the display component is a display screen displaying icons. Each icon corresponds one-to-one with a function of the custom control device. The icons indicate the current function of the custom control device, allowing the user to clearly identify the current function after switching functions. The functions of the custom control device include air conditioning fan speed control, air conditioning temperature control, and hazard warning light switching.
[0087] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, circuit board 230 is disposed on the side of transmission assembly 220 away from drive assembly 210. Circuit board 230 is connected to display assembly to switch the function types recorded in circuit board 230. Circuit board 230 is provided with a first touch sensing device 240, which is correspondingly disposed with transmission assembly 220 or drive assembly 210.
[0088] In one embodiment, the first touch sensing device 240 is a micro switch or a position sensor.
[0089] In one embodiment, the circuit board 230 is connected to a data module, which is used to record functional information and icon information.
[0090] Specifically, if the drive component 210 is a triangular drive component 210, the user drives the drive component 210 to rotate up and down along the second direction Z. Then the transverse frame 221 switches the up and down rotation of the drive component 210 along the second direction Z to the forward and backward movement along the first direction X, so as to contact or move away from the first touch sensing device 240, thereby realizing the switching of the function type of the custom control device.
[0091] The circuit board 230 determines, based on the trigger time of the first touch sensor 240, whether the pressing of the first touch sensor 240 is used to switch the function type of the custom control device or to adjust the current function status of the custom control device. If the current function type of the custom control device is airflow control, then adjusting the current function status of the custom control device refers to adjusting the airflow.
[0092] The circuit board 230 is equipped with a trigger threshold for the first touch sensor 240. If the actual trigger time of the first touch sensor 240 is greater than the trigger threshold, it is determined that the current driving component 210 is used to switch the function type of the custom control device. If the actual trigger time of the first touch sensor 210 is less than the trigger threshold, it is determined that the current driving component 210 is used to adjust the current function state of the custom control device.
[0093] In one embodiment, if the driving component 210 is a triangular driving component 210 and air conditioning air volume control is required, two rows of first touch sensing devices 240 need to be set at the corresponding positions of the same horizontal moving frame 221 to ensure that the first touch sensing device 240 can be triggered when the driving component 210 is pressed down and when the driving component 210 is flicked up, thereby realizing bidirectional control of air conditioning air volume, that is, the air conditioning air volume can be increased or decreased.
[0094] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the custom control device of this application also includes a reset plate 223, which is located between the circuit board 230 and the transmission assembly 220. Further, the reset plate 223 is located between the transverse frame 221 and the circuit board 230. The reset plate 223 includes a first side and a second side along the first direction X. The first side of the reset plate 223 abuts against the transverse frame 221, and the second side of the reset plate 223 is away from or in contact with the circuit board 230, thereby enabling the switching on and off of the first touch sensing device 240 on the circuit board 230.
[0095] The drive component 210 includes a rotation state and a reset state.
[0096] Driven by an external force, the drive assembly 210 deflects to form a rotating state. In this rotating state, the drive assembly 210 drives the transverse frame 221 to move towards the reset plate 223. After contacting the reset frame, it compresses the reset plate 223 and drives the reset plate 223 to move towards the first touch sensor 240, thereby achieving contact between the reset plate 223 and the first touch sensor 240, and indirectly achieving contact between the transverse frame 221 and the first touch sensor 240.
[0097] After the driving component 210 releases its downward pressure, it enters a reset state. In this reset state, the driving component 210 switches from a rotational state to a reset state through the compressive force of the reset plate 223. In the reset state, the transverse frame 221 moves away from the first touch sensor 240.
[0098] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, when the drive assembly 210 is a cylindrical drive assembly 210, it does not need to be connected to or moved away from the first touch sensing device 240 via the transmission assembly 220. Furthermore, when the drive assembly 210 rotates around the first direction X-axis, it can connect to or move away from the first touch sensing device 240, further enabling the switching of the custom control device's functional states. The custom control device's functions include air conditioning fan speed control, air conditioning temperature control, and hazard warning light switching.
[0099] In one embodiment, if the drive component 210 is a cylindrical drive component 210, and air conditioning airflow control is required, two encoders are provided on the circuit board 230, arranged sequentially along the rotation direction. During the rotation of the drive component 210, the encoders can identify the specific rotation direction of the drive component 210. Furthermore, if the rotation direction of the drive component 210 is identified as clockwise, the air conditioning airflow can be increased. If the rotation direction of the drive component 210 is identified as counterclockwise, the air conditioning airflow can be decreased.
[0100] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, when the driving component 210 is a cylindrical driving component 210, the display component is disposed on one side of the driving component 210 along the first direction X. In one embodiment, the display component is disposed on the end face of the driving component 210, and the relative positional relationship between the display component and the driving component 210 depends on the specific application scenario and is not limited to the display component being disposed on the horizontal surface of the driving component 210.
[0101] In one embodiment, a display component shows icons that correspond one-to-one with the function types of the custom control device. The icons indicate the current function of the custom control device, allowing the user to clearly identify its function after a function switch. The functions of the custom control device include air conditioning fan speed control, air conditioning temperature control, and hazard warning light switching.
[0102] In one embodiment, a second touch sensor 250 is provided at the bottom of the display component along the first direction X. The second touch sensor 250 is connected to the circuit board 230. The display component moves up and down relative to the second touch sensor 250 along the first direction X to contact or move away from the second touch sensor 250, and to switch the function type of the custom control device and switch the icon.
[0103] Appendix Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure from a front-view perspective of one embodiment of the driving component of this application. (Attached) Figure 3 This is a rear-view structural diagram of one embodiment of the driving component of this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 2 and appendix Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 210 includes a drive frame 211, which has a triangular structure. The top of the drive frame 211 has anti-slip textures to prevent slippage between the user's fingers and the drive frame 211 during rotation. The drive frame 211 is rotatably connected to a first fixed frame via a rotating device in a third direction. The rotating device includes a rotating shaft and a rotating hole 213, which are clearance-fitted. The drive frame 211 has either a rotating shaft or a rotating hole 213 on both sides in the third direction. In one embodiment, the drive frame 211 has rotating holes 213 on both sides in the third direction.
[0104] In one embodiment, the drive frame 211 is provided with a first position 214 and a second position 215 along the second direction. The first end of the transverse frame is correspondingly provided with the first touch sensing device, and the second end of the transverse frame abuts against the second position 215, so as to facilitate the drive frame 211 to transmit the motion to the transverse frame.
[0105] In one embodiment, the drive frame 211 includes a limiting hole 212 provided at a first position 214 along a first direction. The limiting hole 212 is provided with an opening at the bottom of the drive frame 211 to facilitate the entry of a limiting block into the limiting hole 212. A first sidewall and a second sidewall are respectively provided on both sides of the limiting hole 212 in a second direction. When the drive assembly 210 rotates, the limiting hole 212 moves up and down relative to the second end of the limiting block 222 along the second direction, and abuts against the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively, thereby limiting the drive frame 211 in the second direction and further preventing the drive frame 211 from rotating too much.
[0106] In one embodiment, the display component 300 and the icon 310 are located on the upper surface of the driving component 210 along the second direction.
[0107] Appendix Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the driver component of this application. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the driver component of this application. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 and appendix Figure 5As shown, the drive assembly 210 includes a fixed post 216 and a rotating sleeve 217. The rotating sleeve 217 is sleeved on the fixed post 216. The fixed post 216 is fixedly connected to the reset plate, and the rotating sleeve 217 is rotatably connected to the fixed post 216. A contact block 218 is provided at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 217 along the first direction. The contact blocks 218 are circumferentially spaced at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 217, and a contact gap 219 is formed between two contact blocks 218.
[0108] Furthermore, as the rotating sleeve 217 rotates, when the contact block 218 passes the first touch sensing device, it forms a contact between the driving component 210 and the first touch sensing device. At this time, the circuit board can receive the control information of the first touch sensing device. When the contact gap 219 passes through the first touch sensing device, it forms a separation between the driving component 210 and the first touch sensing device. At this time, the circuit board cannot receive the control information of the first touch sensing device, thereby adjusting the functional state of the custom control device.
[0109] In one embodiment, the rotating sleeve 217 is provided with a display component 300 and an icon 310 at its top along a first direction.
[0110] Appendix Figure 6 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first fixing frame 110 of this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 of this application includes a first mounting bracket 110, which corresponds to multiple drive components. Multiple first mounting brackets 110 are arranged side-by-side along a third direction, and these multiple first mounting brackets are sequentially connected to form the configuration shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 The first fixed frame assembly shown.
[0111] In one embodiment, the first fixing frame assembly of this application is formed in one step.
[0112] The first fixing frame 110 is provided with a receiving cavity 111 along the first direction. The receiving cavity 111 is used to receive the drive assembly. Therefore, the receiving cavity 111 can be divided into a receiving cavity 111 for a triangular drive assembly and a receiving cavity 111 for a cylindrical drive assembly, depending on the applicable drive assembly.
[0113] The receiving cavity 111 of the cylindrical drive assembly passes through the first fixing frame 110 to facilitate the cylindrical drive assembly passing through the receiving cavity 111 and connecting with the reset plate. Furthermore, the receiving cavity 111 of the cylindrical drive assembly is formed by a cylindrical tube protruding from the first fixing frame 110.
[0114] The receiving cavity 111 of the triangular drive assembly has an opening facing the drive assembly and a closed opening facing the transverse frame. The closed opening on one side of the receiving cavity 111 provides a basis for forming a transverse hole. The first fixing frame 110 has a rotating shaft 114 and another rotating hole on both sides along a third direction. In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 114 extends towards the receiving cavity 111. The first fixing frame 110 has a transverse hole 112 extending through it along a first direction, communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The drive assembly enters the receiving cavity 111 through the opening and is rotatably connected to the rotating hole via the rotating shaft 114. The first fixing frame 110 has a fixing hole 113 along the first direction for fixing a limiting block. Furthermore, the fixing hole 113 is formed by the surrounding plate 115 protruding from the first fixing frame 110, so as to increase the contact area between the limiting block and the fixing hole 113 and enhance the stability of the fixing hole 113 and the limiting block.
[0115] Appendix Figure 7 This is a front view of one of the limiting blocks in this application. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of one structure of the limiting block 222 in this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 7 and appendix Figure 8 As shown, the first end of the limiting block 222 is fixedly connected to the fixing hole. To increase the stability of the connection between the limiting block 222 and the fixing hole, positioning strips 222-1 are provided on the bottom and side of the limiting block 222. The second end of the limiting block 222 is located inside the limiting hole, and the second end of the limiting block 222 is provided with an inclined surface 222-2 to facilitate the movement of the limiting block 222 relative to the limiting hole.
[0116] Appendix Figure 9 This is a front view of the transverse sliding frame 221 of this application. Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of the transverse shift frame 221 of this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 9 and appendix Figure 10As shown, the transverse frame 221 is formed by a transverse shaft 221-1 and a vertical plate 221-2. The first end of the transverse shaft 221-1 is always in contact with the drive assembly, and the second end of the transverse shaft 221-1 is connected to the vertical plate 221-2. The vertical plate 221-2 is always in contact with the reset plate. The transverse frame 221 is used to switch the rotational motion of the drive assembly into transverse motion and transmit the transverse motion to the reset plate, so as to realize the transverse movement of the reset plate relative to the circuit board along the first direction. The first touch sensing device is disposed on the surface of the circuit board along the first direction. If the first touch sensing device is triggered by moving it up and down along the second direction, its triggering accuracy will be reduced. If the rotational motion of the drive assembly is switched to the transverse movement of the transverse frame 221 along the first direction, the first touch sensing device is triggered by pressing along the first direction, thereby improving the accuracy of triggering the first touch sensing device.
[0117] In one embodiment, the horizontal axis 221-1 is arranged along a first direction, and the vertical plate 221-2 is arranged along a second direction. Furthermore, the horizontal axis 221-1 and the vertical plate 221-2 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.
[0118] In one embodiment, two transverse axes 221-1 are provided to ensure the stability of the transverse frame 221 during transverse movement.
[0119] Appendix Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of one possible structure of the reset plate in this application. (Attached) Figure 12 This is a cross-sectional view of the reset plate of this application. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 11 and appendix Figure 12 As shown, the custom control device of this application also includes a reset plate 223, which is located between the circuit board and the transmission assembly. The reset plate 223 is used to provide driving force after the driving assembly is pressed down, so as to reset the driving assembly.
[0120] A reset hole 223-2 is provided at the corresponding position of the reset plate 223 and the transverse frame, and a reset hole 223-2 is further provided at the corresponding position of the vertical plate 221-2 and the reset plate 223. A reset post 223-1 is provided in the reset hole 223-2, and the reset post 223-1 is flexibly connected to the reset hole 223-2 through a connecting ring 223-3, so that the reset post 223-1 can move in the first direction within the reset hole 223-2. The reset post 223-1 is arranged in the first direction, and the first end of the reset post 223-1 always abuts against the transverse frame 221, while the second end of the reset post 223-1 contacts or moves away from the first touch sensing device 240.
[0121] In one embodiment, the reset post 223-1, reset plate 223, and connecting ring 223-3 are all made of elastic material to provide restoring force for the drive assembly 210. Further, the reset post 223-1, reset plate 223, and connecting ring 223-3 are all made of rubber material. Depending on the positional relationship of the first touch sensing device 240, the reset post 223-1 can be arranged in a single row or multiple rows.
[0122] In one embodiment, a through hole 223-4 is provided through the reset plate 223 along a first direction, and a first touch sensing device extends through the through hole 223-4 to the top of the reset plate 223 so as to form contact or distance with the cylindrical drive assembly 210.
[0123] In one embodiment, the reset plate 223 is provided with a connecting post 223-5 along the first direction, and the connecting post 223-5 is used to connect with the fixing post 216 of the cylindrical drive assembly 210.
[0124] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 12 As shown, if the driving component 210 is a triangular driving component 210, when the user presses down on the driving component 210 for a certain period of time, the driving component 210 rotates downwards synchronously. Simultaneously, the second position 215 of the driving component 210 rotates towards the horizontal movement frame 221, causing the horizontal movement frame 221 to move laterally towards the reset post 223-1. At this time, the reset post 223-1 is in a compressed state, storing force for the reset of the driving component 210. Then, the reset post 223-1 moves laterally towards the first touch sensor 240 to trigger the first touch sensor 240, thereby adjusting the state of the custom control device. When the user cancels the press on the driving component 210, due to the compression force of the reset post 223-1, the reset post 223-1 simultaneously drives the horizontal movement frame 221 to move towards one side of the driving component 210, finally causing the driving component 210 to spring back to its original position, preparing for the next press.
