Rotary knob screen with waterproof structure
By combining the water guide ring groove and the water baffle ring with the labyrinth sealing component, the problem of the knob screen's sealing performance deterioration in humid environments is solved, achieving a balance between rotational flexibility and waterproof reliability, and enhancing the real-time detection and early warning capabilities for water ingress.

AI Technical Summary
When existing rotary knobs are used in humid or wet environments, the sealing rings wear and age, causing a decline in sealing performance, which affects rotation flexibility and waterproof reliability.
The design employs a combination of a water-guiding ring groove and a water-blocking ring, along with a labyrinth sealing component and a phase change material encapsulation block. Water is guided by the water-guiding ring groove and pressure is gradually reduced through the labyrinth channel to prevent water penetration. Real-time detection and early warning are achieved using waterproof lubricant and a penetration detection component.
While ensuring rotational flexibility, the waterproof reliability of the knob screen has been improved, enabling water blocking and drainage, enhancing sealing performance, and providing real-time detection and graded early warning functions for water ingress.
