[0023] The following is a detailed description of a potentiometer that is easy to assemble according to the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model of a potentiometer that is easy to assemble includes a base 1 and a potentiometer body 3, a mounting groove 2 is provided on one end of the base 1, and the potentiometer body 3 is installed on the base 1 through the mounting groove 2, wherein a transversely arranged rotating shaft 4 is provided on the potentiometer body 3, and a motor 12 for driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate is installed on the base 1, and the rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 12, so that the potentiometer body 3 operates to adjust the resistance value or voltage. However, in order to realize the detachable connection between the motor 12 and the potentiometer body 3, a groove 5 is provided on the end of the rotating shaft 4, and an embedding block 14 that can be embedded in the groove 5 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 12. After the potentiometer body 3 is installed on the base 1, the motor 12 is installed on the base 1, and the embedding block 14 is embedded in the groove 5 during installation, so that the rotating shaft 4 can be driven to rotate; and when the motor 12 or the potentiometer body 3 needs to be repaired or replaced separately, the motor 12 can be removed from the base 1, so that each component can be repaired and replaced separately. In addition, a reducer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the motor 12, and the speed of the motor 12 is adjusted by the reducer, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotation of the rotating shaft 4.

[0025] In order to stably install the potentiometer body 3 on the base 1, a fixing ring 6 is provided on the side of the potentiometer body 3 close to the rotating shaft 4, and the rotating shaft 4 passes through the fixing ring 6. A pair of mirror-arranged springs 7 are fixedly provided on the base 1, and the fixing ring 6 is clamped between the springs 7; when the potentiometer body 3 is installed on the base 1 from top to bottom, the springs 7 are just clamped between the springs 7, and the potentiometer body 3 is limited by the springs 7, so as to prevent the potentiometer body 3 from escaping from the mounting groove 2 during the subsequent installation process, so as to improve the installation efficiency. However, in order to improve the limiting effect of the spring 7, a ring-shaped limiting groove 8 is provided on the side of the fixing ring 6 close to the spring 7, and a limiting protrusion 9 that can be embedded in the limiting groove 8 is provided on the side of the spring 7 close to the fixing ring 6. When the spring 7 is clamped between the springs 7, the limiting protrusion 9 is just embedded in the limiting groove 8. Under the action of the limiting groove 8 and the limiting protrusion 9, the limiting effect of the spring 7 is further improved.

[0026] In order to realize the detachable installation of the motor 12, a fixing plate 10 is provided on the base 1, and the fixing plate 10 is placed on the side of the potentiometer body 3 close to the rotating shaft 4, a first through hole 11 is provided on the fixing plate 10, and an insertion portion 13 that can pass through the first through hole 11 is provided on the side of the motor 12 close to the output shaft. When installing the motor 12, the insertion portion 13 is first inserted into the first through hole 11, and at the same time, the embedding block 14 is embedded in the embedding groove 5, that is, the connection between the output shaft of the motor 12 and the rotating shaft 4 is completed; in addition, a splicing mechanism 16 for limiting the motor 12 is provided on the end of the base 1 away from the potentiometer body 3, and the splicing mechanism 16 is detachably arranged on the base 1. After the insertion portion 13 on the motor 12 is inserted into the first through hole 11, the splicing mechanism 16 is fixed on the base 1, and the motor 12 is limited by the cooperation of the splicing mechanism 16 and the fixing plate 10, so that the motor 12 is stably fixed on the base 1; the details are as follows.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the splicing mechanism 16 includes a baffle 161 for use with the fixing plate 10 and a splicing block 162 fixedly arranged on the baffle 161, wherein a splicing groove 163 for the splicing block 162 to be embedded is provided on the base 1, and after the splicing block 162 is embedded in the splicing groove 163, the baffle 161 and the base 1 can be spliced; however, in order to fix the baffle 161 on the base 1, a pair of slide grooves 164 are provided in the splicing block 162, and a clamping rod 165 is slidably provided in each slide groove 164, and the ends of the clamping rod 165 on both sides are respectively oriented in directions away from each other. It extends to the outside of the splicing block 162. In addition, each slide groove 164 is provided with a spring 166 for applying force to the card rod 165. When force is applied to the card rods 165 on both sides at the same time, the card rod 165 grooves slide in the direction of approaching each other, and the end of the card rod 165 located on the outside of the splicing block 162 slides into the splicing block 162, and the spring 166 is compressed. When the force on the card rod 165 stops, under the action of the compressed spring 166, the card rods 165 on both sides are pushed to slide in the direction away from each other, and the end of the card rod 165 is placed on the outside of the splicing block 162 again.

[0028] Furthermore, a pair of slots 167 for the ends of the clamping rod 165 to be embedded in are provided on the inner side wall of the splicing groove 163. When the splicing block 162 is completely embedded in the splicing groove 163, the ends of the clamping rod 165 located on the outside of the splicing block 162 are inserted into the slots 167, thereby clamping the splicing block 162 in the splicing groove 163 to fix the baffle 161 on the base 1; the motor 12 is blocked by the baffle 161 to prevent the insertion portion 13 on the motor 12 from detaching from the first through hole 11 on the fixing plate 10, so as to limit and install the motor 12. In addition, in order to facilitate the insertion of the clamping rod 165 into the clamping slot 167, a bevel 168 for contacting the end of the clamping rod 165 is provided at the opening of the clamping slot 167; before the splicing block 162 is inserted into the splicing slot 163, the end of the clamping rod 165 first contacts the bevel 168, and continues to apply force to the splicing block 162, and the end of the clamping rod 165 slides on the bevel 168 to push the clamping rods 165 on both sides to slide in a direction close to each other, and when the end of the clamping rod 165 moves to a specified position, under the action of the compression spring 166, the clamping rod 165 automatically inserts into the clamping slot 167, and under the action of the bevel 168, the baffle 161 is assembled. When the baffle 161 needs to be removed from the base 1, a large force is applied to the baffle 161 to make the end of the clamping rod 165 disengage from the clamping slot 167, thereby realizing the removal of the baffle 161 from the base 1. Additionally, in order to stably fix the baffle 161 on the base 1, bolts (such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, after the clamping rod 165 is clamped into the clamping groove 167, the splicing block 162 is fixed in the splicing groove 163 by bolts, so that the baffle 161 is more stably fixed on the base 1, thereby improving the assembly effect of the potentiometer.

[0029] In addition, in order to achieve the baffle 161 and the fixing plate 10 to fix the motor 12, a second through hole 169 is provided on the baffle 161, and a protrusion 15 that can be embedded in the second through hole 169 is provided on the side of the motor 12 close to the baffle 161. When the baffle 161 is fixed on the base 1, the protrusion 15 is embedded in the second through hole 169, and the insertion portion 13 on the motor 12 passes through the first through hole 11. Under the cooperation of the baffle 161 and the fixing plate 10, the motor 12 is fixed on the base 1; and when the motor 12 needs to be removed from the base 1, it can be removed from the base 1. A plurality of terminals 17 are provided on the motor 12, and a metal sheet 18 corresponding to the terminal 17 is inserted on the base 1. One end of the metal sheet 18 is soldered to the corresponding terminal 17, and the other end extends to the bottom of the base 1. The metal sheet 18 and the terminal 17 are used to provide power to the motor 12, so that the motor 12 runs to drive the potentiometer body 3 to operate.

[0030] In summary, it can be seen that the utility model has the above-mentioned excellent characteristics, which can enhance the performance unprecedented in the prior art and become a product with great practical value.
