[0002] The fader on an audio device is a key component used to control the output volume of an audio signal. The zero position of the fader is an important reference point, as the middle point of the fader's range of movement, indicating that the output signal of the channel is not attenuated or gained by the fader.
[0003] The fader zero position allows the operator to intuitively understand the current output level of the audio signal. By using the fader and other audio processing tools properly, the operator can achieve precise control and processing of the audio signal, thereby improving audio quality and meeting the needs of different scenarios.
[0004] In existing audio equipment, there is no necessary fader zero position confirmation mechanism, and the operator is required to use the naked eye to confirm the zero position mark on the operation panel during the sliding fader process, which is not conducive to the operator's rapid positioning of the fader and difficult to operate flexibly and effectively.

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0035] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] The fader assembly for audio equipment in the present application is mainly used for fader zero position sensing of an audio equipment mixing console, so that an operator can quickly locate the fader and operate it flexibly and effectively.
[0038] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The fader assembly for audio equipment in the utility model comprises a fader 1 arranged on an operation panel 2, and a magnetic attraction member 3 capable of sliding synchronously with the fader 1 is installed on the fader 1;
[0039] A positioning pin 4 is provided on the operation panel 2 at the zero position of the fader 1 . The positioning pin 4 can be movably limited and installed on the operation panel 2 . The magnetic attraction member 3 can be magnetically attracted to the positioning pin 4 .
[0040] The movable limited installation of the positioning pin 4 is reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, the positioning pin 4 can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic member 3 on the operation panel 2, and on the other hand, it cannot be separated from the installation on the operation panel 2. At the same time, when the hair clipper 1 carries the magnetic member 3 away from the positioning pin 4, the positioning pin 4 can fall and reset, so that the top surface of the positioning pin 4 is flush with the surface of the operation panel 2, and the sliding of the hair clipper 1 on the operation panel 2 is not affected.
[0041] When fader 1 slides to fader 1 zero position, the magnetic attraction force can form a resistance to the pushing of fader 1, so that the operator can sense the arrival of fader 1 zero position, thereby realizing the operator's blind pushing operation on fader 1.
[0042] The operation panel 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 for installing the positioning pin 4, and the positioning pin 4 cannot be separated from the installation in the limiting groove 21. Furthermore, the limiting groove 21 includes a columnar groove cavity 21a and a groove hole 21b, and the size of the groove hole 21b is smaller than the size of the groove cavity 21a.
[0043] Meanwhile, the positioning pin 4 comprises a columnar pin 4a and a pin seat 4b, wherein the pin 4a is located on the top of the pin seat 4b, so that the cross section of the positioning pin 4 forms an inverted T-shaped installation structure.
[0044] The size of the pin seat 4b is larger than that of the pin column 4a. The pin seat 4b is accommodated in the groove cavity 21a. The pin column 4a and the groove hole 21b are clearance-matched. At the same time, the pin seat 4b and the groove cavity 21a are clearance-matched. By setting the size of the pin seat 4b to be larger than the size of the groove hole, a relationship in which the positioning pin 4 is movably and limitably installed in the limit groove 21 can be formed, preventing the positioning pin 4 from being separated from the operating panel 2 under the action of the magnetic attraction between it and the magnetic attraction part 3 on the fader 1, thereby effectively playing a role in positioning the fader 1 at the zero position.
[0045] Combination Figure 3-Figure 4 Based on the angle at which the positioning pin 4 can fall and reset when the clipper 1 carrying the magnetic element 3 is away from the positioning pin 4 as mentioned above, a reset spring 5 is installed in the limiting groove 21, and the reset spring 5 is sleeved on the pin 4a. The pin 4a and the reset spring 5 are loosely matched to reset the top surface of the pin 4a to be flush with the surface of the operating panel 2, or to be recessed in the surface of the operating panel 2.
[0046] The top end of the reset spring 5 is clamped on the top of the limit groove 21. When there is no magnetic attraction, the reset spring 5 elastically presses the pin seat 4b downward, so that the top surface of the pin 4a is flush with the surface of the operation panel 2 or recessed from the surface of the operation panel 2.
[0047] The return spring 5 specifically includes a compression spring, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the slot 21b, so that the compression spring can be pressed into the limiting slot 21. At the same time, the diameter of the compression spring is smaller than the diameter of the pin seat 4b, so that the technical purpose of pressing the positioning pin 4 down to a limit position can be achieved through its own compression elastic force.
[0048] When the fader 1 slides to the zero position, the magnetic element 3 and the positioning pin 4 are positioned opposite each other, and the magnetic attraction between the magnetic element 3 and the positioning pin 4 overcomes the compressive elastic force of the reset spring 5, so that the pin 4a and the pin seat 4b move upward, combined with the limiting installation of the positioning pin 4 in the limiting groove 21, thereby generating a pushing resistance.
[0049] In order to enable the positioning pin 4 to move upward when the magnetic attraction member 3 magnetically attracts the positioning pin 4, the compression force of the compression spring is smaller than the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction member 3 and the positioning pin 4, thereby ensuring the limiting movement of the positioning pin 4 in the limiting groove 21.
[0050] The magnetic component 3 installed on the hairpin 1 also includes a columnar structure. In order to ensure that there is a large magnetic attraction force between the magnetic component 3 and the positioning pin 4, and at the same time ensure the adsorption between the pin column 4a of the positioning pin 4 and the magnetic component 3, the cross-sectional size of the pin column 4a is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the magnetic component 3. When the hairpin 1 reaches the zero position, the magnetic attraction force can be quickly generated, thereby enhancing the reliability of generating the pushing resistance.
[0051] Furthermore, the clipper 1 includes a push cap 11 for pushing, and the magnetic attraction member 3 includes a permanent magnet fixedly mounted on the bottom of the push cap 11. Furthermore, in order to form effective magnetic attraction, the positioning pin 4 includes a metal positioning pin 4 that can be magnetically attracted by the permanent magnet.
[0052] A long fixed strip 6 is arranged at the bottom of the operation panel 2, a guide rail 61 protruding from the operation panel 2 is arranged at the top of the fixed strip 6, and a guide groove 12 which can be matched with the guide rail 61 is arranged at the bottom of the push cap 11, which can ensure the smooth sliding of the hair clipper 1 to the greatest extent.
[0053] The top surface of the push cap 11 is a curved structure, and an anti-slip pattern 13 is provided on the top wall of the push cap 11 to facilitate pressing and pushing the hair clipper 1 .
[0054] The utility model also provides an audio device, including the above-mentioned fader assembly for the audio device, which can make the fader 1 slide reliably on the operation panel 2 of the mixing console, and is conducive to the operator to perceive the zero position of the fader 1 of the mixing console, and quickly locate the fader 1, creating conditions for flexible control of blind push operation.
[0055] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application may be combined with each other.
[0056] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
