If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A telescopic knob switch comprises: a knob 1 and a support rod 2, the knob 1 is slidably mounted on the support rod 2, a sleeve 11 is provided at the bottom of the knob 1, a guide portion 3 is movably provided on the sleeve 11, and a limit portion 4 is provided on the support rod 2;

[0024] The limiting portion 4 includes a groove 41, the guide portion 3 extends into the groove 41, the bottom of the groove 41 is provided with a first guide surface 42 and a second guide surface 43 inclined upward, a guide block 45 is fixedly provided in the groove 41, and the top and bottom of the guide block 45 are respectively provided with a third guide surface 44 and a V-shaped fourth guide surface 46, a spring 5 is provided in the sleeve 11, and the bottom end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the support rod 2. The guide portion 3 can slide left and right on the sleeve 11. When in use, the knob 1 is pressed downward to compress the spring 5. The guide portion 3 moves toward the left side of the groove 41 through the third guide surface 44 and moves downward as the knob 1 is pressed downward. When the guide portion 3 contacts the second guide surface 43, it moves to the right along the second guide surface 43 until it corresponds to the fourth guide surface 46. The knob 1 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 5, the guide portion 3 moves upward and engages with the fourth guide surface 46. At this time, the knob 1 is in a retracted state. When the knob 1 needs to rebound and extend, the knob 1 is pressed downward again. The knob 1 drives the guide portion 3 to move downward an end distance, and moves rightward to the right side of the groove 41 under the action of the first guide surface 42. The knob 1 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 5, the knob 1 rebounds and extends upward, and the guide portion 3 is reset along the right side of the groove 41.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the guide portion 3 includes a pin shaft 31 , and a sliding hole 12 is transversely opened on the sleeve 11 , and the sliding hole 12 is slidably connected to the pin shaft 31 .

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure that the pin shaft 31 slides smoothly, a guide wheel 32 is fixedly sleeved on the pin shaft 31 , and the guide wheel 32 can roll laterally on the sleeve 11 .

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a notch 13 is provided on one side of the sliding hole 12, and the guide wheel 32 and the pin 31 can be installed through the notch 13. The assembly is simple and convenient.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting groove 14 is provided on the sleeve 11, and a limiting rod 21 is provided on the support rod 2, and the limiting rod 21 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 14. This ensures that the knob 1 slides smoothly on the support rod 2, and at the same time, the knob 1 can be rotated to drive the support rod 2 to rotate, thereby controlling the valve.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
