Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of potentiometers, in particular to a rocker potentiometer with a variable capacitor. Background Art

[0002] The rocker potentiometer is a variable potentiometer suitable for the rocker control handle of game consoles, drones, etc. By shaking the rocker of the rocker potentiometer and adjusting the resistance value through the brush mechanism of the potentiometer, the state change of the internal related components of the game console, drone, etc. can be controlled. The structure of the rocker potentiometer refers to the applicant's patent 202221266852.1, and its patent name is a rocker potentiometer with a central positioning slide, which includes a base, a slide, a rocker, a lower rocker arm, an upper rocker arm, an iron shell, and a first potentiometer group The first potentiometer component and the second potentiometer component are respectively mounted on the iron shell, the sliding plate is installed in the cavity of the base, the rocker is installed on the sliding plate, the iron shell is installed outside the base, the lower rocker arm and the upper rocker arm are respectively mounted on the rocker arm, the upper rocker arm is located on the upper side of the lower rocker arm, and the two ends of the lower rocker arm and the upper rocker arm extend outward from the iron shell and the base; the first potentiometer component and the second potentiometer component are respectively mounted on the iron shell, one end of the lower rocker arm is rotatably inserted in the first potentiometer component, and one end of the upper rocker arm is rotatably inserted in the second potentiometer component. The structure of the first potentiometer component and the second potentiometer component of the rocker potentiometer is composed of a resistor and a rotating or sliding system, that is, a moving contact moves on the resistor to obtain a partial voltage output. This potentiometer component uses a carbon film or a resistance wire structure, and requires a brush contact to contact the carbon film for friction to realize the detection of different positions of the potentiometer. It has the following shortcomings: (1) The carbon film has a short wear life and a large production error; (2) Due to the friction of the brush contact point, contact interference noise will be generated when the position changes.

[0003] With the advancement of technology, electromagnetic induction rocker potentiometers using Hall sensor chips have gradually been developed and applied. Electromagnetic induction rocker potentiometers overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned contact structure potentiometers, use permanent magnets as rotating or sliding components, and use linear Hall sensors to detect the position of permanent magnets in real time. When adjusting the position, the electromagnetic induction rocker potentiometer has no contact, no wear, and no clutter interference during adjustment. However, the electromagnetic induction rocker potentiometer using Hall sensor chip still has the following technical problems: (1) High power consumption. For example, at a voltage of 3V, the working current of an ordinary carbon film potentiometer is about 300μA, while the working current of a Hall sensor chip is 3-4mA, and the power consumption is more than 10 times that of an ordinary carbon film brush potentiometer. (2) Poor anti-interference ability. The Hall sensor chip is easily affected by external magnetic fields. (3) The output accuracy of the Hall sensor chip is not high enough, usually only up to 8 bits. (4) The permanent magnet matched with the Hall sensor chip will gradually reduce its magnetism after long-term use, and demagnetization problems may occur, resulting in malfunction of the electromagnetic induction potentiometer. (5) The cost of the Hall sensor chip is relatively high, which is not conducive to reducing the overall cost of the rocker potentiometer.

[0004] In response to the problems of carbon film brush rocker potentiometers and electromagnetic induction rocker potentiometers, capacitive rocker potentiometers have gradually emerged in the prior art. Referring to Chinese patent document CN116059624A, a rocker device is disclosed, including a mounting base, a housing, a rocker, a circuit board, and a capacitive sensing component, wherein the capacitive sensing component includes a first electrode and a second electrode arranged at a relative interval along a first direction; the circuit board is electrically connected to the capacitive sensing component; and the circuit board is used to output corresponding position information according to the change in capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode. Furthermore, the first electrode is mounted on the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm, and the second electrode is mounted on the circuit board. The side wall of the rocker handle abuts against the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm, pushing the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm to rotate relative to the housing, thereby driving the first electrode connected to the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm to move, so that a relative displacement is generated between the second electrode and the first electrode, so that the overlapping area of ​​the two along the first direction changes. The joystick device can output sensing information according to the change of the overlapping area between the second electrode and the first electrode, and has the technical advantages of low power consumption, strong anti-interference ability and low cost.

[0005] However, the rocker device disclosed in the above-mentioned Chinese patent document CN116059624A also has the following defects: (1) The first electrode of the patent is installed on the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm. During the rotation of the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm, the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm will drive the first electrode to move back and forth continuously, and the first electrode that moves back and forth will inevitably produce vibration, which will easily cause a slight change in the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode, resulting in an error problem in the capacitance value sensing, generating noise, and affecting the accuracy of the rocker device; (2) Since the circuit board is electrically connected to the capacitive sensing component, and the first electrode of the patent is installed on the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm, the circuit board and the first electrode must either be connected by wire or by dynamic contact. If the circuit board and the first electrode are connected by wire, the connection of the wire will become very cumbersome, affecting the overall structure of the rocker device, and the wire will move with the first electrode for a long time, which is easy to cause the wire connection to be poor; if the circuit board and the first electrode are connected by dynamic contact, then the contact point will inevitably wear out after long-term moving contact, and even poor contact will occur.

[0024] The structural principle and working principle of the utility model are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the utility model is a rocker potentiometer with a variable capacitor, comprising a circuit board 1, a base 2, a slider 3, a rocker arm 4, a rocker arm 5 and a variable capacitor 6; the base 2 is mounted on the upper side of the circuit board 1, the base 2 is provided with a slide groove 21, the slider 3 is slidably mounted in the slide groove 21 of the base 2, and the slider 3 is connected to an insulating sheet 31; the rocker arm 4 is rotatably mounted on the base 2, the rocker arm 4 is provided with a dial head 43 for moving the slider 3 to slide back and forth, and the rocker arm 5 is connected to the rocker arm 4; the variable capacitor 6 comprises a first electrode sheet 61 and a second electrode sheet 62 corresponding to each other, the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 are electrically connected to the circuit board 1 respectively, the insulating sheet 31 is inserted between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, and can move back and forth between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, and can change the area directly facing the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet during the movement to change the capacitance of the variable capacitor 6. Capacitance is a very important physical quantity in the circuit. It is closely related to the dielectric constant. The dielectric constant is a physical quantity that represents the storage capacity of the insulating material relative to the vacuum capacitance, while the capacitance is a measure of the ability to store charge. The dielectric constant can be calculated using the following formula: ε=C / C0, where C represents the capacitance of the substance and C0 represents the capacitance in a vacuum. From the calculation formula of the dielectric constant, it can be seen that the dielectric constant is directly proportional to the capacitance. The dielectric constants of different media vary greatly because different media have different electric field strengths and molecular structures. When the medium between the two electrodes of the capacitor changes, the dielectric constant will change, and the capacitance will also change. The utility model utilizes this principle. When the insulating sheet 31 moves back and forth between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, the indirect facing area between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 blocked by the insulating sheet 31 will change, and the direct facing area between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 not blocked by the insulating sheet 31 will also change. Moreover, since the dielectric constants of the insulating sheet 31 and air are significantly different (the dielectric constant of the insulating sheet is significantly greater than the dielectric constant of air), when the direct facing area between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet changes, the capacitance of the variable capacitor 6 will also change.

[0026] When the rocker 5 is shaken, the utility model can drive the rocker arm 4 to rotate, and the rocker arm 4 drives the dial head 43 to swing, and the dial head 43 drives the slider 3 and its insulating sheet 31 to move back and forth; and because the variable capacitor 6 includes a first electrode sheet 61 and a second electrode sheet 62 corresponding to each other, the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 are respectively electrically connected to the circuit board 1, and the insulating sheet 31 is inserted between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, and can move back and forth between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, therefore, the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 of the variable capacitor 6 of the utility model are stationary, and will not be relatively displaced with the rotation of the rocker arm 4, but rely on the movement of the insulating sheet 31 of the slider 3 to change the capacitance of the variable capacitor 6, so that the capacitive rocker 5 potentiometer outputs a corresponding induction signal. It can be seen that the capacitive rocker 5 potentiometer of the present invention has the following technical advantages: (1) low power consumption. For example, under a voltage of 3V, the working current of the capacitive rocker 5 potentiometer of the present invention is about 20μA, while the working current of an ordinary carbon film potentiometer is about 300μA, and the working current of a Hall sensor chip is 3-4mA. The power consumption is less than 1 / 10 of an ordinary carbon film potentiometer and less than 1 / 100 of a Hall sensor chip; (2) strong anti-interference ability. The variable capacitor 6 will not be affected by external magnetic fields; (3) low cost. The cost of the variable capacitor 6 is significantly lower than that of the Hall sensor chip and the carbon film potentiometer; (4) high precision. The positions of the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 are stationary, which can avoid the vibration phenomenon caused by the reciprocating movement of the electrode sheets. When the insulating sheet 31 of the slider 3 moves back and forth, it will not cause the first electrode sheet 6 1 and the second electrode sheet 62 change, which can avoid the error problem and noise problem in capacitance value induction, so that the precision of the capacitive rocker 5 potentiometer of the utility model is very high; (5) Long service life. On the one hand, since the insulating sheet 31 of the slider 3 is not in contact with the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62, the insulating sheet 31 of the slider 3 will not cause friction damage to the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 during the reciprocating movement. On the other hand, since the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 are both stationary, the first electrode sheet 61, the second electrode sheet 62 and the circuit board 1 can be directly welded or connected with the static contact point, thereby abandoning the wire connection method and the dynamic contact connection method in the prior art, so that the service life of the capacitive rocker 5 potentiometer of the utility model is very long.

[0027] like Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, two second electrode sheets 62 of the variable capacitor 6 are arranged in parallel, with a gap between the two second electrode sheets 62, the first electrode sheet 61 faces the two second electrode sheets 62 at the same time, the first electrode sheet 61 and one of the second electrode sheets 62 form a variable capacitor, and the first electrode sheet 61 and the other second electrode sheet 62 form another variable capacitor. During the reciprocating movement of the insulating sheet 31, the capacitance of the two variable capacitors can be changed at the same time. Figure 4 As shown, the first electrode sheet 61 has a first end and a second end, wherein one second electrode sheet 62 is located below the first end of the first electrode sheet 61, and the other second electrode sheet 62 is located below the second end of the first electrode sheet 61, and the two second electrode sheets 62 are separated by a gap, and the length of the insulating sheet 31 is equivalent to 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the length of the first electrode sheet 61; when the insulating sheet 31 is translated toward the first end of the first electrode sheet 61, the direct facing area between the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 below the first end of the first electrode sheet will gradually decrease, and the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 below the first end of the first electrode sheet will gradually decrease. The direct facing area of ​​the second electrode sheet 62 below the two ends will gradually increase; conversely, when the insulating sheet 31 moves toward the second end of the first electrode sheet 61, the direct facing area of ​​the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 below the first end of the first electrode sheet will gradually increase, while the direct facing area of ​​the first electrode sheet 61 and the second electrode sheet 62 below the second end of the first electrode sheet will gradually decrease; it can be seen that during the reciprocating movement of the insulating sheet 31, the capacitance of the two variable capacitors can be changed at the same time, and the simultaneous sensing of the two variable capacitors can significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensing.
