The magnetic damping effect is used to improve the hand feeling when a user rolls the roller structure, so that the rotation of the rotating structure is more stable and controllable. Compared with the traditional encoder roller that contacts and rubs through a metal sheet, the magnetic damping effect without contact and friction makes the roller knob have a longer service life. For example, a mouse commonly used by us has a roller. In order to improve the hand feeling and controllability of the page of the computer when a user rolls the mouse roller, the mouse roller needs to have paragraph feedback and damping feedback.

[0045] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the application described above can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0046] The application provides a method for preparing a compound as shown in the specification. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a damping adjustable roller structure is a rotating structure that generates magnetic damping effect through magnetic material combined with magnetic field coil 24. It is applied to fields such as the roller of keyboard or mouse, the knob of automobile instrument, the control knob of household appliance, etc. The magnetic damping of the roller structure is mainly used to control the rotation speed of the rotating structure or provide damping effect. In this way, the user's hand feeling is improved, and the rotation of the rotating structure is more stable and controllable. The main structure of the present application comprises: mounting base 1, first annular shaft 2 and at least one second annular shaft 4; first annular shaft 2 is fixed on mounting base 1, and a plurality of first grooves 21 are uniformly arranged on at least one end surface of first annular shaft 2, and a first boss 22 is formed between two adjacent first grooves 21; second annular shaft 4 is rotatably arranged on mounting base 1 and coaxially arranged with first annular shaft 2, and a plurality of second grooves 41 are uniformly arranged on the surface of the end of second annular shaft 4 facing first boss 22, and a second boss 42 is formed between two adjacent second grooves 41; wherein at least one magnetic field coil 24 is arranged on first annular shaft 2, and magnetic field coil 24 is used to adjust the magnetic intensity of first annular shaft 2. As shown Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, at least two electrodes 241 are arranged on magnetic field coil 24, electrode 241 is used to connect external circuit, first boss 22 and second boss 42 have gap, first boss 22 and second boss 42 are arranged one by one and generate attractive magnetic force. Mounting base 1 is used to fix first annular shaft 2, so that first annular shaft 2 acts as a stator, second annular shaft 4 is coaxially connected with first annular shaft 2, and second annular shaft 4 acts as a rotor. First annular shaft 2 and second annular shaft 4 can be magnetic material shaft or magnetic shaft with magnetic field intensity. When magnetic field coil 24 is powered on, the magnetic attraction strength between first annular shaft 2 and second annular shaft 4 will change, so as to adjust the damping size when first annular shaft 2 and second annular shaft 4 rotate.

[0047] Specifically, mounting base 1 is used to install and fix each structural component, and different functional components such as rotary switch, photoelectric switch, etc. can be arranged on mounting base 1 according to the needs of function. Connecting shaft 11 is arranged on mounting base 1, and in some embodiments, connecting shaft 11 is configured as metal shaft to ensure the structural strength and durability of the rotating structure; first annular shaft 2 is sleeved on connecting shaft 11 and fixed on mounting base 1, and a plurality of first grooves 21 are uniformly arranged on at least one end surface of first annular shaft 2, and a plurality of first grooves 21 extend in the direction away from the axis of first annular shaft 2, and a first boss 22 is formed between two adjacent first grooves 21.

[0048] It needs to be explained that taking the mouse scroll wheel as an example, the magnetic damping mouse scroll wheel nowadays has fixed internal structure and magnetic strength, and the scroll wheel has fixed and unadjustable paragraph feeling and damping feeling during rotation. Users cannot adjust the damping feedback size of the scroll wheel according to their own preferences.

[0049] The scheme can change the magnetic field strength of the first annular shaft 2 by adjusting the current size and direction of the magnetic field coil 24, and then adjust the magnetic attraction force size between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42, so that the damping size of the second annular shaft 4 during rotation is adjustable. Specifically, when the second annular shaft 4 is rotated, the damping value of the attraction between the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4 changes to produce the light and heavy paragraph feedback of the hand feeling. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the first annular shaft 2 during rotation can be converted into electrical energy to realize the technical effect of collecting and generating electrical energy. It can be applied to the fields of mouse, keyboard, automobile instrument panel, etc. When the outer ring wheel 3 accelerates rotation, the second annular shaft 4 can be made to rotate rapidly by using torque inertia, until the rotation speed of the outer ring wheel 3 and the second annular shaft 4 is reduced to the point that it cannot overcome the damping, and then the speed is reduced to stop.

[0050] Further, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 At least one of the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction. In this way, the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are attracted due to the magnetic attraction. In actual implementation, embodiment one, the first annular shaft 2 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction, and the second annular shaft 4 is a metal shaft that can be magnetically attracted. Embodiment two, the second annular shaft 4 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction; the first annular shaft 2 is a metal shaft that can be magnetically attracted. Embodiment three, the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4 are both ring-shaped shafts with magnetic attraction.

[0051] In embodiment one, the first annular shaft 2 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction, and the second annular shaft 4 is a metal shaft that can be magnetically attracted. Since the first annular shaft 2 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction, the first boss 22 with magnetic attraction can magnetically attract the second boss 42. When the magnetic field coil 24 is powered, the magnetic attraction of the first annular shaft 2 is suppressed or enhanced. In turn, the magnetic attraction between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 changes, thereby realizing the adjustment of the damping size and paragraph feeling intensity of the scroll wheel during rotation, and further realizing the adjustment of the hand feeling lightness and heaviness. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the scroll wheel during rotation can be converted into electrical energy to realize the technical effect of collecting electrical energy.

[0052] In the second embodiment, the second ring-shaped shaft 4 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction, and the first ring-shaped shaft 2 is a metal shaft that can be magnetically attracted. Because the second ring-shaped shaft 4 is a ring-shaped shaft with magnetic attraction, the second boss 42 with magnetic attraction can still magnetically attract the first boss 22 without the magnetic field coil 24 being powered. When the magnetic field coil 24 is powered, the magnetic attraction of the first ring-shaped shaft 2 is inhibited or enhanced. In turn, the magnetic attraction between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 changes, so that the damping size and paragraph feeling intensity of the roller when rotating can be adjusted, and in turn the lightness or heaviness of the hand feeling is adjusted. In addition, it needs to be emphasized that because the second ring-shaped shaft 4 has magnetism, when the second ring-shaped shaft 4 rotates, the magnetic field coil 24 on the first ring-shaped shaft 2 can cut the magnetic induction lines of the second ring-shaped shaft 4, and in turn the magnetic field coil 24 generates electric energy and is collected into the power storage device of the mouse, realizing the technical effect of converting kinetic energy into electric energy.

[0053] In the third embodiment, because the first ring-shaped shaft 2 and the second ring-shaped shaft 4 are both ring-shaped shafts with magnetic attraction, the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are attracted to each other under the action of magnetic attraction without the magnetic field coil 24 being powered, and when the second ring-shaped shaft 4 rotates, a large magnetic damping effect can be generated. When the magnetic field coil 24 is powered, the magnetic attraction of the first ring-shaped shaft 2 is inhibited or enhanced. In turn, the magnetic attraction between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 changes, so that the damping size and paragraph feeling intensity of the roller when rotating can be adjusted, and in turn the lightness or heaviness of the hand feeling is adjusted. As in the second embodiment, because the second ring-shaped shaft 4 has magnetism, when the second ring-shaped shaft 4 rotates, the magnetic field coil 24 on the first ring-shaped shaft 2 can cut the magnetic induction lines of the second ring-shaped shaft 4, and in turn the magnetic field coil 24 generates electric energy and is collected into the power storage device of the mouse, realizing the technical effect of converting kinetic energy into electric energy.

[0054] In the above fact examples one and three, the first groove 21 can weaken the magnetic properties at the position. Therefore, the magnetic attraction on the end surface of the first annular shaft 2 can be evenly distributed on the plurality of first bosses 22. The outer ring wheel 3 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 11; the second annular shaft 4 is arranged at the shaft center of the outer ring wheel 3 and located at the side of the first annular shaft 2. The surface near one end of the second annular shaft 4 is evenly provided with a plurality of second grooves 41 extending away from the shaft center of the second annular shaft 4. The second grooves 41 are formed with second bosses 42 between adjacent two second grooves 41. Similarly, the second groove 41 can weaken the magnetic properties at the position. Therefore, the magnetic attraction on the end surface of the second annular shaft 4 can be evenly distributed on the plurality of second bosses 42. The first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence by magnetic attraction, and the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 maintain a gap. In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 11 is coaxially provided with a shaft step between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42. The first boss 22 and the second boss 42 maintain a gap and are coaxially connected through the shaft step. In some embodiments, the shaft step is integrally formed with the connecting shaft 11. The shaft step and the connecting shaft 11 are both non-magnetic material structures, which avoid disturbing the magnetic field of the first boss 22 and the second boss 42.

[0055] It can be seen that the first annular shaft 2, the second annular shaft 4 and the outer ring wheel 3 are directly or indirectly sleeved on the connecting shaft 11. When the outer ring wheel 3 is rotated, the second annular shaft 4 is synchronously rotated. At this time, the magnetic attraction between the two magnetic surfaces of the second annular shaft 4 and the first annular shaft 2 close to each other changes in the axial direction. Further, the damping value changes when the outer ring wheel 3 is rotated, thereby producing the light and heavy paragraph feedback of the hand feeling.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 11 is coaxially provided with the first annular shaft 2 and the two second annular shafts 4, and the first annular shaft 2 and the connecting shaft 11 are fixedly connected with the mounting base 1. The two end surfaces of the first annular shaft 2 are evenly provided with a plurality of first grooves 21, and the two first grooves 21 are formed with a first boss 22 therebetween. The two second annular shafts 4 are rotatably arranged on the mounting base 1. The surface of one end of the second annular shaft 4 facing the first boss 22 is evenly provided with a plurality of second grooves 41, and the two second grooves 41 are formed with a second boss 42 therebetween. The two second bosses 42 have a gap between the two ends of the first boss 22, and the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence and generate attractive magnetic force.

[0057] Further, the magnetic poles of the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are opposite. It can be understood that the magnetic poles of the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 are opposite, which can attract each other. The magnetic damping effect between the two is better.

[0058] Further, asFigure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the second annular shaft 4 is an annular shaft with magnetic attraction. The magnetic field coil 24 is used to adjust the magnetic strength of the first annular shaft 2, or to cut the magnetic induction lines of the second annular shaft 4 in the rotating state, thereby generating electrical energy. This is specifically as described in Embodiments 2 and 3 above.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, an annular groove 23 is formed on the outer periphery of the first annular shaft 2, and the magnetic field coil 24 is wound around the annular groove 23 in the circumferential direction of the first annular shaft 2. In this embodiment, the annular groove 23 is formed on the outer periphery of the first annular shaft 2, so that the magnetic field coil 24 can be wound in the annular groove 23, and ultimately the outer wall of the first annular shaft 2 can be kept flush, making the overall roller structure more compact and beautiful.

[0060] Furthermore, the magnetic field coil 24 is a copper coil. It is understood that copper coils have excellent conductivity, enabling efficient current transmission and reducing energy loss (such as heat generation). Copper coils can generate strong magnetic fields and are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. They can efficiently cut the magnetic induction lines of the second annular shaft 4.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the number of first grooves 21 is the same as the number of second grooves 41, the size of the first boss 22 is the same as the size of the second boss 42, and the shape of the first boss 22 is the same as the shape of the second boss 42.

[0062] Understandably, in order to make the feedback of the rotation of the damped adjustable roller structure clearer, the number of the first groove 21 is the same as the number of the second groove 41, the size of the first boss 22 is the same as the size of the second boss 42, and the shape of the first boss 22 is the same as the shape of the second boss 42.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, both the first groove 21 and the second groove 41 are U-shaped grooves.

[0064] In some more preferable embodiments, the first groove 21 and the second groove 41 are both U-shaped grooves. In some other embodiments, the first groove 21 and the second groove 41 can also be configured as V-shaped grooves. Among them, the V-shaped groove can make the boss (the first boss 22 and the second boss 42) present a structure form of wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. This structure design can make the magnetic attraction force on the magnetic attraction end face of the annular shaft (the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4) concentrate on the top of the boss (the first boss 22 and the second boss 42) along the slope of the V-shaped groove. Make the feedback between the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4 more clear, and the magnetic damping effect between the two is better.

[0065] Further, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the second annular shaft 4 is coaxially provided with an outer ring wheel 3, the outer ring wheel 3 is detachably connected with the second annular shaft 4, the outer ring wheel 3 is a metal wheel, the second annular shaft 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning pins 43, and the second annular shaft 4 is fixedly connected with the outer ring wheel 3 through the positioning pins 43. It can be understood that the mass of the metal wheel is larger, so that the moment of inertia of the outer wheel 32 is larger. Further, the rolling stroke is longer. The second annular shaft 4 is connected with the outer ring wheel 3 through the positioning pins 43, and slipping between the two can be avoided. In some embodiments, the second annular shaft 4 and the outer ring wheel 3 are detachably connected.

[0066] Further, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the outer ring wheel 3 comprises: a grating clamping ring 31 and an outer wheel 32, the grating clamping ring 31 is coaxially arranged with the second annular shaft 4, a plurality of light transmission holes 312 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the grating clamping ring 31, and the extension direction of the light transmission hole 312 is parallel to the axial direction of the grating clamping ring 31; the outer wheel 32 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the grating clamping ring 31; wherein, the grating clamping ring 31 is provided with an avoiding groove 311 at the axial center, and the avoiding groove 311 is used for avoiding the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4. The first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4 are accommodated in the avoiding groove 311 at the axial center of the grating clamping ring 31, which can make the whole rotating wheel structure more compact and have higher integration. Moreover, the wheel structure composed of the first annular shaft 2, the second annular shaft 4 and the grating clamping ring 31 is more reasonable.

[0067] The second aspect of the present application provides a damping adjustment method of the damping adjustable roller structure according to any one of the first aspect, the damping adjustment method comprising the following steps:

[0068] Step one, receiving adjustment instructions of the circuit through two electrodes 241 of the magnetic field coil 24, adjusting the current size and direction of the magnetic field coil 24 on the first annular shaft 2 according to the adjustment instructions, so as to change the magnetic attraction between the first annular shaft 2 and the second annular shaft 4, and further change the damping between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42; wherein the second annular shaft 4 rotates by the driving of the outer ring wheel 3, the first boss 22 is arranged on the first annular shaft 2, and the second boss 42 is arranged on the second annular shaft 4;

[0069] Step two, when the outer ring wheel 3 is rolled by the user, the outer ring wheel 3 drives the second annular shaft 4 to rotate;

[0070] Step three, the first boss 22 on the first annular shaft 2 and the second boss 42 on the second annular shaft 4 are offset by the rotation of the second annular shaft 4, wherein the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 correspond to each other, and the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 attract each other;

[0071] Step four, the magnetic attraction between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 changes, so that the damping between the first boss 22 and the second boss 42 is generated;
