Since many devices need to use potentiometers and encoders at the same time, dual-axis encoders that integrate potentiometers and encoders have appeared in the prior art. The current dual-axis encoders are all equipped with positioning mechanisms, but the positioning mechanisms currently used in dual-axis encoders are easily damaged during long-term use and have a short service life. In addition, there is a loose situation that leads to poor positioning effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a rotary positioning mechanism with a compact structure.

When the positioning member slides into the positioning pit, the positioning effect is achieved. At the same time, the positioning spring sheet keeps pushing the positioning member, so that the force with which the positioning member slides into the positioning pit is increased. On the one hand, a louder positioning sound can be produced, and on the other hand, a better positioning effect can be achieved, thereby improving the structural reliability and stability, and ensuring the reliability of the output signal of the output mechanism of the dual-axis encoder.
