A wave-shaped groove 102 which is adapted to the bullet head 5 is also arranged around the bottom of the handwheel 1, and the handwheel 1 can be locked in position with the bullet head 5 through the wave-shaped groove 102. Function: (1) Under the elastic action of the spring 6, the bullet head 5 of the utility model can cooperate with the wavy groove 102 at the bottom of the handwheel 1 to achieve the position locking of the handwheel 1; the utility model can replace the paddle type of the prior art through the cooperation between the bullet head 5, the spring 6 and the wavy groove 102 to extend the service life of the knob structure; (2) Each groove on the wavy groove 102 represents a gear position, and the gear position can be easily adjusted by turning the handwheel 1. The operator can also feel the frustration when switching gears. It is easy to operate and low cost, which greatly improves the product competitiveness.

[0028] Specifically, a column 202 extending vertically upward is provided in the middle of the housing 2, and the mounting holes 201 are arranged at intervals beside the column 202. A first through hole 2021 penetrating from top to bottom is provided on the column 202, and the first through hole 2021 is adapted to the rotating shaft 101, and the hand wheel 1 is rotatably matched with the housing 2 through the rotating shaft 101.

Preferably, the bullet head 5 is a metal bullet head 5; the wavy slot 102 is a nylon wavy slot 102. Function: By setting the top of the bullet head 5 to be hemispherical, the friction between the bullet head 5 and the wavy slot 102 can be reduced, and the appropriate selection of materials can extend the service life of the utility model.

[0036] Specifically, a plurality of raised ribs 104 are arranged at intervals around the outer circumferential surface of the hand wheel 1 to achieve anti-slip effect. Function: The arrangement of the plurality of raised ribs 104 can increase the friction between the operator's palm and the surface of the hand wheel 1 to achieve an anti-slip effect.
