[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0035] The present application embodiment provides a knob with buttons, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the knob with a button includes: an encoder 1, a button body 2, a knob bracket 3, a button cover 4 and a knob shell 5; the encoder 1 has a mounting cavity 11 running through the upper and lower ends; the button body 2 is arranged in the mounting cavity 11; the knob bracket 3 is used to drive the encoder 1 to rotate; the button cover 4 is axially slidably connected to the inner wall of the encoder 1, and is used to trigger the button body 2; the knob shell 5 is sleeved on the knob bracket 3, and is spaced apart from the button cover 4.
[0036] The working principle and beneficial effects of a knob with a button provided in the embodiment of the present application are as follows: rotating the knob housing 5, and driving the encoder 1 to rotate through the knob bracket 3, so that the encoder 1 outputs a pulse value; when pressing the button cover 4, the button cover 4 slides on the encoder 1 along the axial direction, so that the button cover 4 squeezes the button body 2, and the button body 2 is turned on or off. The present application integrates the knob and the button together, realizes the control of multiple functions, and improves the integration.
[0037] In this embodiment, the knob housing 5 is spaced apart from the key cover 4 to avoid affecting the pressing of the key cover 4 .
[0038] In this embodiment, the switch with a button can be used as a speed regulator with a switch or a volume regulator with a switch, etc.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, further, the encoder 1 includes a fixed structure 12 having a mounting cavity 11 and an outer ring structure 13 sleeved on the fixed structure 12, the outer ring structure 13 rotates around the axis of the encoder 1, the knob bracket 3 is connected to the outer ring structure 13, and the button cover 4 is slidably connected to the fixed structure 12.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the knob housing 5 is rotated, the rotating housing drives the outer ring structure 13 to rotate on the fixed structure 12 along the axis of the encoder 1 , and the fixed structure 12 obtains the rotation angle of the outer ring structure 13 and outputs a pulse value.
[0041] In this embodiment, the knob bracket 3 is connected to the outer ring structure 13 , and the key cover 4 is connected to the fixed structure 12 , so as to prevent the key cover 4 from rotating when the knob housing 5 rotates, and to prevent the encoder 1 from affecting the pressing of the key cover 4 .
[0042] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, further, the inner wall of the knob bracket 3 is provided with a first guide column 31 and a first clip 32 arranged at intervals, and the outer ring structure 13 is provided with a first guide groove 14 and a first clip groove 15 arranged at intervals; the first guide column 31 is slidably disposed in the first guide groove 14, and the first clip 32 is clipped with the first clip groove 15.
[0043] In this embodiment, when installing the knob bracket 3 and the encoder 1, the first guide column 31 is aligned with the first guide groove 14, and the first clip 32 is aligned with the direction of the first clip groove 15. When the knob bracket 3 approaches the direction of the encoder 1, the first guide column 31 slides along the first guide groove 14 to guide the installation direction of the knob bracket 3 and the encoder 1 until the first clip 32 is engaged with the first clip groove 15 to fix the knob bracket 3 and the encoder 1, so that when the knob housing 5 is rotated, the encoder 1 can be driven to rotate by rotating the bracket.
[0044] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, further, the button cover 4 includes a cover plate 41 and a connecting ring 42 arranged on the cover plate 41, the cover plate 41 is spaced apart from the knob housing 5, the connecting ring 42 is spaced apart on the outer periphery of the button body 2, the connecting ring 42 has a second guide column 43 and a second buckle 44 spaced apart, the fixing structure 12 is provided with a second guide groove 16 and a second buckle 44; the second guide column 43 is slidably disposed in the second guide groove 16, the second buckle 44 is snap-connected with the second buckle 17 and slidably disposed in the second buckle 17.
[0045] In this embodiment, when installing the key cover 4, the second guide column 43 is aligned with the second guide groove 16, and the second buckle 44 is aligned with the direction of the second slot 17. When the key cover 4 approaches the key body 2, the second guide column 43 slides along the second guide groove 16 to guide the key cover 4 and the encoder 1 in the installation direction until the first buckle 32 is buckled with the second slot 17 to fix the key cover 4 and the encoder 1. When pressing the key cover 4, the second guide column 43 slides axially in the second guide groove 16 in the direction toward the key body 2, and the second buckle 44 slides axially in the second slot 17 in the direction toward the key body 2, so that the key cover 4 squeezes the key body 2. When releasing the key cover 4, the key body 2 lifts the key cover 4 upward, so that the second guide column 43 slides axially in the second guide groove 16 in the direction away from the key body 2, and the moving distance of the key cover 4 is limited by the second slot 17 and the second buckle 44, and the key cover 4 is prevented from being separated from the encoder 1.
[0046] In this embodiment, a connection ring 42 is provided which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the key body 2 at intervals, so as to improve the sealing performance of the present application and prevent external water or dust from contacting the key body 2 and affecting the key body 2 .
