[0041] See also Figures 1 to 4 The first aspect of the present application provides a knob device 100 for a controller 1000, wherein the controller 1000 has a controller cover 200. The knob device 100 includes a damping member 10, a knob assembly and an elastic member 30.

[0042] Among them, the damping member 10 has a first mounting cavity 11, and the inner wall surface of the first mounting cavity 11 is provided with a plurality of damping grooves 111, and the plurality of damping grooves 111 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner wall surface; the knob assembly is arranged in the first mounting cavity 11, and the knob assembly includes a rotating connecting shaft 21 and a rotating guide buckle 22, the rotating connecting shaft 21 is provided with a mounting groove 212, the rotating guide buckle 22 can be movably arranged in the mounting groove 212, and the rotating guide buckle 22 is provided with a boss 221 for matching with the damping groove 111; the elastic member 30 is arranged in the mounting groove 212, and abuts against the side of the rotating guide buckle 22 away from the boss 221, and the elastic member 30 is used to squeeze the rotating guide buckle 22 so that when the rotating connecting shaft 21 rotates along the circumference of the first mounting cavity 11, the boss 221 slides into or out of the damping groove 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, the damping member 10 is used to be arranged on the controller upper cover 200 .

[0044] Part of the knob assembly is installed in the first installation cavity 11 of the damping member 10 and can reciprocate along the circumference of the first installation cavity 11 .

[0045] Exemplarily, the elastic member 30 is a spring, a spring sheet or other elastic member, one end of the elastic member 30 abuts against the wall of the mounting groove 212, and the other end abuts against the side of the rotating guide buckle 22 away from the boss 221. It can be understood that when the knob assembly rotates, that is, when the boss 221 moves from one damping groove 111 to another damping groove 111, the elastic member 30 will be compressed, so that the boss 221 can be separated from the previous damping groove 111. When the boss 221 moves to the corresponding position of the other damping groove 111, the elastic member 30 releases elastic potential energy and drives the boss 221 to be inserted into the other damping groove 111.

[0046] For example, the damping member 10 and the rotating guide buckle 22 can be made of synthetic plastic (such as polyoxymethylene plastic) or polycarbonate material, or made of thermoplastic resin and glass fiber composite material. In this way, when the user uses the rotating guide buckle 22 and the damping member 10 made of the above-mentioned hard plastic or composite material to adjust the gear position in steps through the knob device 100, that is, when the knob assembly is driven to rotate, the boss 221 can hit each damping groove 111 under the drive of the elastic member 30 and emit a crisp collision sound, so that the user can clearly feel the feedback brought by the gear change, and it is not easy to cause misoperation.

[0047] According to the knob device 100 provided in the first aspect of the present application, a damping groove 111 is provided on the inner surface of the first mounting cavity 11 of the damping member 10, and a rotatable knob assembly is provided in the first mounting cavity 11. The rotating guide buckle 22 of the knob assembly has a boss 221 protruding toward the inner wall surface of the first mounting cavity 11. The boss 221 is used to be plugged into and cooperate with the damping groove 111, and can be inserted into any damping groove 111. In this way, when the user drives the knob assembly to rotate relative to the first mounting cavity 11, the boss 221 moves from one of the damping grooves 111 to another damping groove 111 adjacent thereto, thereby providing the user with a sense of damping, so that the user can know the degree of rotation of the knob assembly without using glasses to observe the rotation angle of the knob, so as to grasp the size of the control gear of the knob device 100, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0048] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, adjacent damping grooves 111 are transitionally connected via protrusions 112 , and the surface of the protrusions 112 is an arc-shaped convex surface or a plane.

[0049] In this embodiment, the protrusion 112 is connected between two adjacent damping grooves 111 and protrudes toward the center direction of the first mounting cavity 11, playing a transition connection role, so that when the knob assembly is driven to rotate, the boss 221 moves from one damping groove 111 to another damping groove 111, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the knob assembly.

[0050] Specifically, the surface of the protrusion 112 is an arc-shaped convex surface protruding toward the center of the first installation cavity 11 , thereby facilitating the contact movement of the boss 221 along the surface of the protrusion 112 , and helping to improve the stability of the movement of the boss 221 .

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bottom wall surface of the damping groove 111 is a plane or an arc-shaped concave surface.

[0052] In this embodiment, it can be understood that when the protrusion 112 is an arc-shaped convex surface protruding toward the center of the first installation cavity 11, the bottom wall surface of the damping groove 111 can be a plane. Of course, the bottom wall surface of the damping groove 111 can also be an arc-shaped concave surface, or an arc-shaped concave surface. Since both can achieve the purpose of the present application, they should all be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, along the radial direction of the rotary connection shaft 21 , the maximum spacing between the damping groove 111 and the protrusion 112 is set in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0054] In this embodiment, that is, along the radial direction of the rotating connecting shaft 21, the distance between the top end surface of the protrusion 112 and the bottom wall surface of the damping groove 111 is set in the range of 0.1mm to 0.5mm, so that the protruding distance of the protrusion 112 is shorter, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the protrusion 112 in the first mounting cavity 11.

[0055] See also Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the line connecting the center of the first mounting cavity 11 and the centers of two adjacent damping grooves 111 respectively forms a first line segment and a second line segment, and the angle β between the first line segment and the second line segment is set in the range of 15° to 50°.

[0056] In this embodiment, it can be understood that the line connecting the center of one of the adjacent damping grooves 111 and the center of the first installation cavity 11 is the first line segment, and the line connecting the center of the other one and the center of the first installation cavity 11 is the second line segment. The angle between the first line segment and the second line segment is set in the range of 15° to 50°, so that the number of levels can be set to at least 24 levels. The user can achieve one level of adjustment every time he rotates at least 15°, which effectively improves the user experience.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, a guide column 222 is provided on the side of the rotating guide buckle 22 facing away from the boss 221 , and at least a portion of the elastic member 30 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the guide column 222 .

[0058] In this embodiment, a guide column 222 is provided on the side of the rotating guide buckle 22 away from the boss 221, and the elastic member 30 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the guide column 222, so that the guide column 222 can play a guiding role, so that the elastic member 30 can be compressed along its length direction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the elastic member 30 driving the boss 221 of the rotating guide buckle 22 to move.

[0059] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present application, the rotating connecting shaft 21 is provided with a mounting notch 213, which is communicated with the mounting groove 212 and is adapted to the size of the boss 221. The boss 221 protrudes out of the mounting notch 213 and is used to be plugged in and matched with the damping groove 111.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the rotating guide buckle 22 is installed in the mounting groove 212, the boss 221 can protrude from the mounting notch 213 so that it can abut against the inner wall surface of the first mounting cavity 11 under the drive of the elastic member 30, so that during the rotation of the rotating connecting shaft 21, the boss 221 can move from one damping groove 111 to another damping groove 111 and produce a collision tactile sensation.

[0061] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present application, the knob device 100 further includes a magnet 23 , a limiting groove 211 is provided at the bottom of the rotating connecting shaft 21 , and the magnet 23 is disposed in the limiting groove 211 .

[0062] In this embodiment, illustratively, a limiting rib is provided in the limiting groove 211 , and the limiting rib is supported below the magnet 23 to limit the magnet 23 so as to improve the reliability of the installation and fixation of the magnet 23 .

[0063] Among them, the magnet 23 is used in conjunction with the magnetic sensing element 300 in the controller cover 200. When the rotating connecting shaft 21 rotates, the magnetic sensing element 300 can respond to the magnetic field changes of the magnet 23 and convert it into an electrical signal. The electric control board in the controller can perform corresponding control actions based on the electrical signal.

[0064] In some embodiments, a side wall of the limiting groove 211 is provided with a magnet fixing buckle 2111 , and the magnet fixing buckle 2111 is used to support the side of the magnet 23 facing the magnetic sensing element 300 .

[0065] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the first installation cavity 11 is annular in shape, the outer surface of the rotary connection shaft 21 is adapted to the shape of the first installation cavity 11 , and there is a gap between the outer surface of the rotary connection shaft 21 and the inner surface of the first installation cavity 11 .

[0066] In this embodiment, along the axial direction of the first mounting cavity 11, the cross-sectional shape of the first mounting cavity 11 is annular, the shape of the outer surface of the rotating connecting shaft 21 is also annular, and there is a gap between the outer surface of the rotating connecting shaft 21 and the inner surface of the first mounting cavity 11, thereby reducing the wear or jamming caused by the contact between the rotating connecting shaft 21 and the inner wall surface of the first mounting cavity 11, which helps to increase the service life of the product.

[0067] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, the knob assembly also includes a knob housing 24, and a second mounting cavity is provided on the side of the knob housing 24 facing the damping member 10, one end of the rotating connecting shaft 21 is provided in the second mounting cavity, and the other end is located in the first mounting cavity 11.

[0068] In this embodiment, it can be understood that the knob housing 24 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the damping member 10, and is used to drive the rotary connection shaft 21 to rotate relative to the damping member 10. Exemplarily, the rotary connection shaft 21 is coaxially arranged with the knob housing 24. The outer surface of the knob housing 24 is provided with an anti-slip portion, such as a protective rib or an anti-slip thread, etc., which plays a role in increasing friction.

[0069] In some embodiments, a decorative groove is provided on one side of the knob housing 24 away from the rotary connection shaft 21, and a decorative piece is provided in the decorative groove. The decorative piece can be a decorative glass, a decorative plate, etc., to achieve a beautifying effect.

An annular groove is provided at the bottom of the damping member 10, and the clamping portion 214 is inserted into the annular groove.

[0071] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 214 provided at one end of the rotating connecting shaft 21 located in the first mounting cavity 11 is clamped in the annular groove, thereby reducing the risk of the rotating connecting shaft 21 being separated from the first mounting cavity 11. At the same time, the clamping portion 214 can slide back and forth along the annular groove, so that the rotating connecting shaft 21 can reciprocate relative to the damping member 10.

[0072] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second aspect of the present application provides a controller 1000, comprising a controller cover 200 and a knob device 100 as in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect.
