The movable sheet is arranged between the emitter plate and the receiving plate and is fixedly connected to the first swing arm 21 or the second swing arm 22. When the first swing arm 21 or the second swing arm 22 rotates under the action of the rocker assembly 3, the movable sheet will rotate accordingly to change the capacitance sensing value between the emitter plate and the receiving plate. At this time, the position detection chip 43 will detect the swing position of the rocker assembly 3 according to the detected changed capacitance sensing value.
