[0040] In order to be able to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, for the convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through multiple details.

It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0042] Unless otherwise stated, the term "plurality" means two or more.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B indicates: A or B.

[0044] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0045] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic knob switch 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a base 110, a knob 120, a pressure detection assembly 130 and a locking assembly 140. The knob 120 is rotatably arranged on the base 110 through a connecting shaft 121. The pressure detection assembly 130 is arranged on the knob 120, and is used to detect the force data of the knob 120. The locking assembly 140 is arranged on the connecting shaft 121, and is used to lock or loosen the connecting shaft 121 according to the force data.

[0048] Specifically, by setting the pressure detection component 130 on the knob 120, the force data of the knob 120 can be detected. The force data of the knob 120 includes: the "pressing pressure" on the top of the knob 120 and the "pinching pressure" on the side of the knob 120.

[0049] It is understandable that when the user normally operates the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100 to switch the function of the multi-function device, the top of the knob 120 will be subjected to "pressing pressure" and the side of the knob 120 will be subjected to "pinching pressure". When the user accidentally touches the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100, the top of the knob 120 will not be subjected to "pressing pressure" or the "pressing pressure" it receives is very small, and the side of the knob 120 will not be subjected to "pinching pressure" or the "pinching pressure" it receives is very small. Therefore, it is necessary to set a pressure detection component 130 on the knob 120 that can be used to detect the force data of the knob 120. In this way, it is possible to identify whether the user's operation on the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation.

[0050] Specifically, by setting a locking assembly 140 on the connecting shaft 121 between the base 110 and the knob 120, the connecting shaft 121 can be locked or loosened. When the connecting shaft 121 is locked, the knob 120 cannot rotate. When the connecting shaft 121 is loosened, the knob 120 can rotate normally.

[0051] Specifically, since it can be determined whether the user's operation on the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation based on the force data of the knob 120, the locking component 140 locks or loosens the connecting shaft 121 based on the force data of the knob 120. When it is determined that the user's operation on the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation, the connecting shaft 121 can be kept in a locked state to prevent the knob 120 from rotating due to the user's accidental touch operation, resulting in the function of the multi-function device being accidentally switched. When it is determined that the user's operation on the knob 120 is a normal operation, the connecting shaft 121 can be loosened to allow the knob 120 to rotate normally, and the function of the multi-function device can be switched according to the user's operation.

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, a pressure detection component 130 is provided in the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100, and a locking component 140 is provided on the connecting shaft 121 between the knob 120 and the base 110. The pressure detection component 130 can detect the force data of the knob 120, and the locking component 140 can determine whether the operation on the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation according to the force data detected by the pressure detection component 130, and can lock or release the connecting shaft 121 according to the judgment result. In this way, the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100 can be prevented from operating when it is accidentally touched, reducing the risk of the function performed by the multifunctional device using the electronic knob switch 100 being changed due to an accidental touch operation, and improving the safety of the operation of the multifunctional device.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressure detection component 130 includes: a first pressure detection member 131 and a second pressure detection member 132. The first pressure detection member 131 is disposed on the inner upper wall of the housing of the knob 120, and is used to detect the first force data on the top of the knob 120. The second pressure detection member 132 is disposed on the inner side wall of the housing of the knob 120, and is used to detect the second force data on the side of the knob 120. The locking component 140 is used to loosen the connecting shaft 121 when the first force data and the second force data are both greater than or equal to a set threshold, and to lock the connecting shaft 121 when the first force data and / or the second force data are less than the set threshold.

[0054] Specifically, by setting a first pressure detection component 131 on the inner upper wall of the shell of the knob 120, the first force data exerted on the top of the knob 120 can be detected, and the "pressing pressure" exerted on the top of the knob 120 can be determined based on the first force data.

[0055] Specifically, by providing a second pressure detection component 132 on the inner wall of the shell of the knob 120, the second force data exerted on the side of the knob 120 can be detected, and the "pinching pressure" exerted on the side of the knob 120 can be determined based on the second force data.

[0056] It should be noted that the second pressure detection member 132 is disposed around the inner side wall of the housing of the knob 120. In this way, it can be ensured that the second pressure detection member 132 can detect the second force data when the user operates the knob 120 at any angle.

[0057] Specifically, when both the first force data and the second force data are greater than or equal to the set threshold, it indicates that the top of the knob 120 is subjected to "pressing pressure", the side of the knob 120 is subjected to "pinching pressure", and both the "pressing pressure" and "pinching pressure" are relatively large. In this case, it can be determined that the user's operation on the knob 120 is normal. Therefore, the connecting shaft 121 needs to be loosened.

[0058] Specifically, when the first force data and / or the second force data are less than the set threshold, it indicates that the top of the knob 120 is not subjected to "pressing pressure" or the "pressing pressure" is very small, and the side of the knob 120 is not subjected to "pinching pressure" or the "pinching pressure" is very small. In this case, it can be determined that the user's operation on the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the locking assembly 140 locked to the connecting shaft 121.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a first pressure detection member 131 on the inner upper wall of the housing of the knob 120 and a second pressure detection member 132 on the inner side wall of the knob 120, accurate detection of the "pressing pressure" on the top of the knob 120 and the "pinching pressure" on the side of the knob 120 is achieved. In this way, the accuracy of detecting whether the user's operation of the knob 120 is an accidental touch operation is improved.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a locking groove 111 is provided on the base 110, and the locking assembly 140 includes: a connecting portion 141 and a locking portion 142. The connecting portion 141 is fixed to the connecting shaft 121. The locking portion 142 is telescopically provided on the connecting portion 141, and when the connecting shaft 121 is locked, the locking portion 142 extends into the locking groove 111, and when the connecting shaft 121 is released, the locking portion 142 retracts to the connecting portion 141.

[0061] Specifically, by providing a locking groove 111 on the base 110, a connecting portion 141 is fixedly provided on the connecting shaft 121, and a retractable locking portion 142 is provided on the connecting portion 141. When the connecting shaft 121 needs to be locked, it can be achieved by controlling the locking portion 142 to extend into the locking groove 111. When the connecting shaft 121 needs to be loosened, it can be achieved by controlling the locking portion 142 to retract into the connecting portion 141.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a locking groove 111 on the base 110 and providing a locking assembly 140 including a connecting portion 141 and a locking portion 142 on the connecting shaft 121, the connecting shaft 121 is locked or released, and since the locking assembly 140 controls the locking and releasing of the connecting shaft 121 according to the force data of the knob 120, the embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100 from being actuated when being accidentally touched.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic knob switch 100 further includes: a laser sensor 150 and a vibration feedback component 160. The laser sensor 150 is disposed in the knob 120 and is used to detect the rotation angle of the knob 120. The vibration feedback component 160 is disposed in the knob 120 and is electrically connected to the laser sensor 150 and is used to feedback vibration according to the rotation angle of the knob 120.

[0064] Specifically, by arranging the laser sensor 150 in the knob 120, the rotation angle of the knob 120 can be detected. According to the rotation angle of the knob 120, the function that the multi-function device should perform at this rotation angle of the knob 120 can be determined.

[0065] Specifically, a vibration feedback component 160 is provided in the knob 120, and the vibration feedback component 160 is electrically connected to the laser sensor 150. The vibration feedback component 160 can receive the rotation angle of the knob 120 detected by the laser sensor 150, and can judge the function that the multi-function device should perform according to the rotation angle, so as to feedback the corresponding vibration to the user according to the judged function. For example, when the rotation angle of the knob 120 is 30 degrees, the function judged to be controlling the wiper action of the multi-function device (such as a vehicle) can be fed back a vibration lasting 3 seconds. For another example, when the rotation angle of the knob 120 is 45 degrees, the function judged to be controlling the high beam of the multi-function device (such as a vehicle) to turn on can be fed back a vibration lasting 1 second 3 times.

[0066] In the related art, the knob 120 of the electronic knob switch 100 can only rely on visual feedback to ensure the accuracy of operation, and the user needs to constantly check the dial or digital display on the knob 120 to confirm whether the knob 120 is rotated to the position corresponding to the function to be switched. This operation method is inefficient, and in some emergency situations or situations where the user needs to concentrate highly (such as medical surgery, high-speed driving), the user's diversion of sight to check the rotation of the knob 120 is very likely to cause safety hazards.

[0067] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a laser sensor 150 and a vibration feedback component 160 electrically connected to the laser sensor 150 are provided in the knob 120, and the vibration feedback component 160 can feedback a vibration sense according to the rotation angle of the knob 120 detected by the laser sensor 150. In this way, the user does not need to shift his sight to check the rotation of the knob 120, and can confirm whether the angle of the rotating knob 120 has reached the target position corresponding to the function to be adjusted according to the feedback vibration sense, thereby improving the safety during the use of the electronic knob switch 100.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the vibration feedback component 160 includes: a vibration motor 161 and a control chip 162. The vibration motor 161 is connected to the housing of the knob 120. The control chip 162 is electrically connected to the vibration motor 161 and the laser sensor 150, and is used to control the operation of the vibration motor 161 according to the rotation angle of the knob 120 detected by the laser sensor 150.

[0069] Specifically, by providing a vibration motor 161 connected to the shell of the knob 120, when the vibration motor 161 is running, the shell of the knob 120 can be driven to vibrate, so that the shell of the knob 120 can provide vibration feedback to the user.

[0070] Specifically, by setting up a control chip 162 electrically connected to the vibration motor 161 and the laser sensor 150, the function that the multi-function device should perform at this rotation angle can be judged based on the rotation angle of the knob 120 detected by the laser sensor 150, so that the operation of the vibration motor 161 can be controlled according to the judged function, and the vibration corresponding to the judged function can be fed back to the user.

[0071] Optionally, the vibration motor 161 is a linear motor (Linear Resonant Actuator, LRA), a rotor motor or a vibration motor, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a vibration motor 161 connected to the housing of the knob 120 and a control chip 162 electrically connected to the vibration motor 161 and the laser sensor 150, a function of controlling the vibration motor 161 according to the rotation angle of the knob 120 to provide the user with feedback of a vibration sense corresponding to the rotation angle of the knob 120 is achieved. In this way, when the user uses the electronic knob switch 100, there is no need to shift the line of sight to check the rotation of the knob 120, thereby improving the safety of using the electronic knob switch 100.

[0073] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic knob switch 100 further includes: a display device 170. The display device 170 is disposed on the outer upper wall of the housing of the knob 120, electrically connected to the control chip 162, and is used to display the current state data of the electronic knob switch 100.

[0074] Specifically, the status data of the electronic knob switch 100 includes but is not limited to the power of the electronic knob switch 100 , the function corresponding to the current rotation angle, fault indication information, and the like.

[0075] Specifically, by arranging a display device 170 electrically connected to the control chip 162 on the outer upper wall of the housing of the knob 120, the current state data of the electronic knob switch 100 can be received from the control chip 162, and the state data can be displayed. In this way, the user can intuitively check the use state of the electronic knob switch 100, so that the user does not need to rely on other methods (such as checking the dial of the rotation angle) to confirm the use state of the electronic knob switch 100, thereby improving the use experience of the electronic knob switch 100.

[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic knob switch 100 further includes: a communication unit 180. The communication unit 180 is disposed in the knob 120 and electrically connected to the control chip 162 for communicating with an external device to update the program built in the control chip 162.

[0077] Specifically, the program built into the control chip 162 is a program for setting the knob 120 to correspond to different functions at different rotation angles, and a program for setting different functions to correspond to different feedback vibrations.

[0078] Specifically, by providing a communication unit 180 in the knob 120 that is electrically connected to the control chip 162 and can communicate with external devices, the user can personalize and update the program built into the control chip 162 according to his / her own usage habits. In this way, the user's experience of using the electronic knob switch 100 is improved.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic knob switch 100 further includes: a plurality of friction increasing blocks 190. The plurality of friction increasing blocks 190 are distributed and disposed on the outer side wall of the housing of the knob 120.

[0080] Specifically, by distributing a plurality of friction increasing blocks 190 on the outer side wall of the housing of the knob 120, when the user turns the knob 120, the friction between the user's hand and the knob 120 can be increased. In this way, the knob 120 can be turned more easily.

[0081] Optionally, the plurality of friction increasing blocks 190 may be integrally formed with the housing of the knob 120 , and the plurality of friction increasing blocks 190 may also be disposed on a rubber pad that can be sleeved on the outer side wall of the knob 120 .

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown, the control panel 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a board body 210 and the electronic knob switch 100 as described above. The electronic knob switch 100 is installed on the board body 210.

[0083] Specifically, the control panel 100 is a panel on a control platform of any multifunctional device (eg, a vehicle or a medical device).

[0084] Optionally, the control panel 200 may include one or more electronic knob switches 100 .

[0085] In some embodiments, a multifunctional device includes: an electronic knob switch as described above; or a control panel as described above.

[0086] Optionally, the multifunctional electronic device is a mechanical device or electronic device with multiple functions in the fields of industry, scientific research, medical treatment, and automobiles.
