[0002] At present, construction machinery has generally been upgraded from a key start-stop rotary switch to a rotary control switch device with a button start-stop integrated gear adjustment. However, both this button start-stop with gear adjustment switch and the key switch adopt a similar principle for start-stop switch control. The key switch controls the switch to be powered on through the conduction of the rotary contact and the static copper contact, and the button start-stop controls the switch to be powered on through the depression of the button and the conduction with the bottom static contact. In this way, during the long-term rotation or pressing process, faults such as poor contact due to wear or short circuit caused by dropped copper chips may occur, resulting in the whole vehicle being unable to be powered on and started, affecting the reliability of controlling the vehicle start-stop.

Detailed implementation mode

[0067] This application provides a knob switch device and construction machinery, which improves the reliability of controlling the start - stop of a vehicle.

[0068] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] As Figures 1-11 shown, the knob switch device provided in the embodiment of this application includes a main control board 8, which has a control circuit for controlling four gears: power - on, pre - heating, stop, and starting. It also includes: a plurality of photoelectric tube switches 19 for controlling the control circuit, and the photoelectric tube switches are annularly arranged on the main control board 8; a shielding component that can shield the photoelectric tube switches 19 to trigger the photoelectric tube switches 19. The shielding component can rotate along the arrangement direction of the photoelectric tube switches 19 to shield different photoelectric tube switches 19, so as to switch and trigger one of the four gears of the control circuit; a start - stop knob cap 1 for driving the shielding component to rotate, and the start - stop knob cap 1 is fixedly connected to the shielding component.

[0070] During operation, according to the target gear (one of power - on, pre - heating, stop, and starting) to be triggered, rotate the start - stop knob cap 1 to the target position to drive the shielding component to rotate along the arrangement direction of the photoelectric tube switches 19 to the position where the target photoelectric tube switch 19 is shielded, thereby triggering the target gear among the four gears of the control circuit of the main control board 8.

[0071] In summary, this application uses the cooperation between the shielding component and the photoelectric tube switches 19 to control the control circuit to achieve four - gear operations of power - on, pre - heating, stop, and starting. Adopting non - contact photoelectric control can avoid problems such as poor contact or dropping copper chips caused by long - term friction in the contact - type method, resulting in key failure or short - circuit faults, thereby improving the reliability of controlling the start - stop of a vehicle.

[0072] At the same time, this application realizes one - key starting through the start - stop knob cap 1, making the operation more convenient.

[0073] As Figure 5 shown, preferably, in order to simplify the structure and improve the control accuracy at the same time, there are 3 phototube switches 19, which are successively the first phototube switch, the second phototube switch, and the third phototube switch along the ring of the main control board 8; among them, in the stop gear state, all the phototube switches 19 are not blocked, and the control circuit is disconnected; in the preheating gear state, the first phototube switch is not blocked, the second phototube switch and the third phototube switch are blocked, and the second phototube switch and the third phototube switch control the control circuit to turn on the preheating; in the power-on gear state, the first phototube switch and the third phototube switch are not blocked, the second phototube switch is blocked, and the second phototube switch controls the control circuit to turn on the power-on; in the starting gear state, the third phototube switch is not blocked, the first phototube switch and the second phototube switch are blocked, and the first phototube switch and the second phototube switch control the control circuit to turn on the starting.

[0074] In this embodiment, 3 phototube switches 19 are designed in a circular arrangement at the middle position of the main control board 8, and cooperate with the shielding components to realize the shielding of different phototube switches 19, so as to control the control circuit to realize four-gear operations of power-on, preheating, stopping, and starting.

[0075] This application does not limit the number of the phototube switches 19, as long as different gear controls can be realized in cooperation with the shielding components. For example, 4 phototube switches 19 can also be selected, and the above four-gear operations are realized by shielding different combinations of the phototube switches 19.

[0076] In a further technical solution, the shielding components include an arc-shaped first shielding strip 161 and a second shielding strip 162, and the two are concentric; among them: in the stop gear state, the first shielding strip 161 is in the gap between the first phototube switch and the second phototube switch, and the second shielding strip 162 is in the gap between the second phototube switch and the third phototube switch, and all the phototube switches 19 are not blocked, and the control circuit is disconnected; in the preheating gear state, the first phototube switch is not blocked, the first shielding strip 161 shields the second phototube switch, the second shielding strip 162 shields the third phototube switch, and the second phototube switch and the third phototube switch control the control circuit to turn on the preheating; in the power-on gear state, the first phototube switch and the third phototube switch are not blocked, the second shielding strip 162 shields the second phototube switch, and the second phototube switch controls the control circuit to turn on the power-on; in the starting gear state, the third phototube switch is not blocked, the first shielding strip 161 shields the first phototube switch, the second shielding strip 162 shields the second phototube switch, and the first phototube switch and the second phototube switch control the control circuit to turn on the starting.

[0077] In this embodiment, two arc-shaped shielding strips are used to shield the photoelectric tube switches 19 at different positions to achieve four-gear control. The arc-shaped structure can better cooperate with the rotating operation, with a simple structure and reduced occupied space of the shielding components. It can be understood that the shielding component can also be other structures such as a rectangular block or a separate shielding strip with a light-transmitting hole, as long as it can shield the corresponding photoelectric tube switch 19 at the target position.

[0078] To further optimize the above technical solution, the first photoelectric tube switch, the second photoelectric tube switch, and the third photoelectric tube switch are evenly distributed along the ring of the main control board 8, that is, the three photoelectric tube switches 19 form an angle of 120 degrees with each other, with a symmetrical structure, which is more convenient for the design of the shielding component.

[0079] Correspondingly, the arc length ratio of the second shielding strip 162 to the first shielding strip 161 is 2:1, and the included angle between the two sides of the second shielding strip 162 and the first shielding strip 161 facing away from each other is 160°; the start-stop knob cap 1 has rotation gears corresponding to the four gears one by one. The rotation gears are preheating, stop, power-on, and start-up in sequence according to the clockwise rotation direction of the start-stop knob cap 1, and the included angles between adjacent two rotation gears are 45°, 45°, and 35° in sequence, as Figure 2 shown. As Figure 5 shown, the included angle between the two sides of the narrow shielding strip and the wide shielding strip that are far apart is 160°, and it is designed according to the 2-fold angle relationship of rotating 45° to the right for power-on and then 35° to the right for starting up as designed.

[0080] During application, in the shutdown state, the start-stop knob cap 1 rotates to the "stop" gear. Considering the comfort of ergonomic operation, the knob gear angle is designed. When preheating, rotate 45° to the left to the "preheat" gear, and return to the "stop" gear after a period of time; when powering on, rotate 45° to the right to the "power-on" gear; when starting up is required, rotate 35° to the right to the "start-up" gear, hold for about 2 s until the engine starts, and then return to the "power-on" gear.

[0081] Specifically, in the "stop" state, the narrow shielding strip is in the gap between the first photoelectric tube switch and the second photoelectric tube switch, and the wide shielding strip is in the gap between the second photoelectric tube switch and the third photoelectric tube switch, and all the photoelectric tube switches 19 are not shielded, and the control circuit is disconnected;

[0082] In the "preheat" state, the start-stop knob cap 1 rotates 45° to the left. At this time, the first photoelectric tube switch is not shielded, the narrow shielding strip shields the second photoelectric tube switch, and the wide shielding strip shields the third photoelectric tube switch. The second photoelectric tube switch and the third photoelectric tube switch control the control circuit to turn on the preheat;

[0083] In the "power on" state, when the start / stop knob cap 1 is rotated 45° clockwise, the narrow shielding strip just does not shield the first photoelectric tube switch, and the wide shielding strip shields the second photoelectric tube switch. At this time, only the second photoelectric tube switch is shielded to control the control circuit to turn on the power supply;

[0084] In the "start the machine" state, when the start / stop knob cap 1 is rotated another 35° clockwise, the narrow shielding strip just shields the first photoelectric tube switch, and the wide shielding strip shields the second photoelectric tube switch. At this time, the first photoelectric tube switch and the second photoelectric tube switch are shielded to control the control circuit to start the machine.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second shielding strip 162 and the first shielding strip 161 are designed with an arc length ratio of 2:1 to form narrow and wide shielding strips, which cooperate with the three photoelectric tube switches 19 on the main control board 8 to control the control circuit, realizing four gears of control: power on, preheat, stop, and start the machine. In this way, the two shielding strips are located on one side of the circumferential direction and can be rotated at a small angle to realize gear control, which is convenient for operation.

[0086] It can be understood that the angles between the three photoelectric tube switches 19 can also be different, that is, in a non-uniform distribution manner. The corresponding arc length ratio of the shielding strips is also changed adaptively. The included angle between two adjacent rotation gears can also be other angles, such as 30 degrees for all, as long as the rotation of the knob can drive the shielding strip to realize the above four-gear control.

[0087] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, for the convenience of assembly, the knob switch device includes an inner fixed support 5 fixedly connected to the main control board 8, and the start / stop knob cap 1 is rotatably arranged at one end of the inner fixed support 5 away from the main control board 8; in this application, the start / stop knob cap 1 is supported by the inner fixed support 5, and the rotation of the start / stop knob cap 1 relative to the inner fixed support 5 realizes gear control.

[0088] To facilitate viewing the rotation gear of the start / stop knob cap 1, a backlight ring 2 that rotates in cooperation with the start / stop knob cap 1 is arranged on the inner fixed support 5. The backlight ring 2 is provided with gear indication marks corresponding one by one to the rotation gears of the start / stop knob cap 1, namely HEAT, OFF, ON, and START; four backlight sources are arranged on the main control board 8; four background optical fibers 14 for guiding the light emitted by the backlight sources to the gear indication marks to improve the visual operation in the night operation mode are axially penetrated through the inner fixed support 5, and are respectively arranged between the backlight sources and the gear indication marks one by one.

[0089] Specifically, the backlight ring 2 is made of PC material, and its gear indication marks are obtained by the method of engraving and silk printing. As Figure 2As shown, four background optical fibers 14 penetrate axially through the internal fixing support 5 and are respectively corresponding to directly below the background lamp ring 2. In the night or under weak light conditions, the silk-screened letters "HEAT, OFF, ON, START" can be clearly displayed, which is convenient for operation and at the same time enhances the warm atmosphere in the cab. The design of the four background optical fibers 14 improves the brightness effect of the background lamp ring 2 and at the same time reduces the problem of excessive energy consumption in the single-channel polarized light design, effectively improving the design reliability.

[0090] It can be understood that in this application, one background optical fiber 14 with a relatively large coverage area can also be selected to supplement the light for the four gear indication marks at the same time; or two background optical fibers 14 can be selected to supplement the light for two gear indication marks respectively. Alternatively, in this application, different color identification lights can also be directly set at different gear indication marks to achieve the same technical effect of convenient operation, and specific limitations are not made here in this application.

[0091] As Figure 1 、 4 As shown in Figures 8 and 11, in a specific implementation manner, a start-stop knob fixed shaft 15 that is positioned and matched with the start-stop knob cap 1 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the internal fixing support 5 close to the start-stop knob cap 1; a start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 is rotatably sleeved inside the start-stop knob fixed shaft 15. One end of the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the shielding component, and the other end is fixedly connected to the start-stop knob cap 1. During assembly, the start-stop knob fixed shaft 15 is embedded inside the internal fixing support 5, and then the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 is sleeved. The start-stop knob cap 1 drives the shielding component to rotate relative to the photoelectric tube switch 19 by rotating the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16, thereby realizing gear control and facilitating assembly. Of course, the start-stop knob cap 1 can also directly extend downward to be connected to the shielding component.

[0092] As Figure 7 As shown, further, two ball springs 20 are symmetrically embedded inside the internal fixing support 5 and can cooperate with the symmetric concave-convex curved surfaces arranged outside the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 to realize the brittle rotation of the start-stop knob cap 1; through the cooperation of the ball springs 20 and the symmetric concave-convex curved surfaces in this application, the comfort of the operation feel when the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 rotates is increased.

[0093] As Figures 9-10As shown in the figure, a rotating circlip 4 connected to the start-stop knob rotating shaft 16 is provided inside the fixed shaft 15 of the start-stop knob, which is used to drive the start-stop knob cap 1 to automatically rebound to the "ON" or "OFF" gear during the process of switching the start-stop gear. Specifically, the rotating circlip 4 is a torsion spring, and both ends of the torsion spring drive the start-stop knob cap 1 to automatically rebound to the "ON" and "OFF" gears respectively when deformed; during the process of switching the start-stop gear, releasing the start-stop knob cap 1 can achieve automatic rebound, which further facilitates operation. Specifically, in the shutdown state, the start-stop knob indicates the "OFF" gear. When installing the armrest box, the "OFF" gear is in the vertical center position. Considering the comfort of ergonomic operation, the angle of the knob gear is designed. When preheating, turn it 45° to the left to the "HEAT" gear, and after a period of time, release your hand and it will automatically rebound to the "OFF" gear. When powering on, turn it 45° to the right to the "ON" gear. When starting the machine is required, turn it 35° to the right to the "START" gear, hold it for about 2s until the engine starts, and then release your hand and it will rebound to the "ON" gear.

Under the action of the light guide column 17, the power-on, starting, and preheating states are displayed in different colors on the light-transmitting part of the start-stop knob cap 1, which is convenient for visual management and at the same time increases the atmosphere of the cab. The LED lamp is a red-green dual-color lamp, which is red when powering on and preheating, and green when starting the machine, further optimizing the visualization effect.

[0097] The light guide column 17 is formed in a flag shape by a column body, a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. A groove is provided below the light guide column 17 to increase the light receiving ability. Above, using the principle of light refraction, two inclined surfaces with different angles are designed. After the light is introduced into the first inclined surface at the bottom center, the light is reflected to the second inclined surface. The second inclined surface cooperates with the start-stop knob cap 1 to perfectly display the status light at a point; this solves the problems that the light of the design process indicator lamp 18 is weak and the light crosstalk interference cannot be clearly transmitted through the knob cap.

[0098] Specifically, the included angle between the two inclined surfaces is 102 degrees, and the included angle between the first inclined surface and the column body is 133 degrees. The cooperation between them can achieve a better light condensing effect. Of course, other angles can also be selected as long as they have an effect of gathering light.
