[0030] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present utility model provides a rotary press switch structure, including a support frame 1, a dial member 2, an encoder 3, a tact switch 4, and an elastic support assembly 5. A rotating shaft 21 is provided at the center of the dial member 2. The rotating shaft 21 is movably connected to one end of the support frame 1, so that the dial member 2 can rotate and press-slide relative to the support frame 1. The encoder 3 is an electronic component or device that compiles signals (such as bitstreams) or data and converts them into signal forms that can be used for communication, transmission, and storage. The encoder 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1. The encoder 3 can be fixedly connected to an extended structure of the support frame 1 or to an external fixed structure, but it needs to be located on one side of the support frame 1. One end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the knob member 31 of the encoder 3. The tact switch 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the support frame 1. The tact switch 4 can be fixedly connected to an extended structure of the support frame 1 or to an external fixed structure, but it needs to be located on the other side of the support frame 1. The other end of the rotating shaft 21 is located on one side of the tact switch 4, that is, the tact switch 4 needs to be located on the pressing path of the rotating shaft 21. One end of the elastic support assembly 5 abuts against the rotating shaft 21, and the other end of the elastic support assembly 5 abuts against the support frame 1. Rotating the dial member 2 adjusts the encoder 3 by turning the knob, and pressing the dial member 2 triggers the tact switch 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 is used to flexibly connect the rotating shaft 21 in the dial member 2, so that the dial member 2 can be rotated and pressed to slide. By respectively arranging the encoder 3 and the touch switch 4 on both sides of the support frame 1, when operating the dial member 2, rotating the dial member 2 can adjust the encoder 3 to increase or decrease the volume or selection. Pressing the dial member 2 can push the dial member 2 to slide backward, and then press the touch switch 4 to trigger the touch switch 4 to complete the selection or function switching operation. A short press is for confirmation, a long press is for function selection, and a long press is for exit, which is convenient and practical.

[0033] In summary, the rotary push switch structure can combine the functions of the knob and the push button, which is convenient for user operation and also improves the aesthetics of the device.

[0034] In this embodiment, the thumbwheel member 2 is located at the center of the rotating shaft 21 , so that the thumbwheel member 2 can be in a balanced force state no matter when it is rotating or being pressed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 is provided with two maintaining plates 11, and the rotating shaft 21 passes through the two maintaining plates 11 respectively to form a movable connection, and the dial component 2 is located between the two maintaining plates 11; the maintaining plates 11 are used to provide a supporting structure for the rotating shaft 21, while maintaining the rotation and sliding connection of the rotating shaft 21, so that the dial component 2 can realize the rotation action and the pressing and sliding action.

[0036] In this embodiment, both maintaining plates 11 are provided with a U-shaped groove 111, and the rotating shaft 21 passes through the U-shaped groove 111. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the U-shaped groove 111, and the rotating shaft 21 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the U-shaped groove 111; since the side wall of one end of the U-shaped groove 111 is semi-arc-shaped, the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the U-shaped groove 111 when it stays at one end of the U-shaped groove 111. When the dial member 2 is pressed, since the dial member 2 will not rotate due to the force when pressed, the rotating shaft 21 will slide backward in the U-shaped groove 111, and at this time, the rotating shaft 21 is slidably connected relative to the U-shaped groove 111.

[0037] In this embodiment, the thumbwheel member 2 protrudes from one end of the maintaining plate 11 , which makes it easy to rotate or press the thumbwheel member 2 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the touch switch 4 is located in the sliding direction of the rotating shaft 21 relative to the U-shaped groove 111; in order to trigger the touch switch 4 when the dial member 2 is pressed, the touch switch 4 needs to be set on the pressing path of the dial member 2, that is, set in the sliding direction of the rotating shaft 21 relative to the U-shaped groove 111.

[0039] In this embodiment, a soft connector 211 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 21, and the soft connector 211 is fixedly connected to the knob member 31; the use of the soft connector 211 for connection can prevent the micro-movement of the dial member 2 from affecting the rotation of the encoder 3, thereby improving the rotation adjustment accuracy of the encoder 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the elastic support assembly 5 includes a support member 51 and an elastic member 52. One end of the support member 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the surface of the support member 51 is slidably connected to the support frame 1. One end of the elastic member 52 abuts against the other end of the support member 51, and the other end of the elastic member 52 abuts against the support frame 1. The support member 51 is used to rotatably support the rotating shaft 21, so that the rotating shaft 21 can be driven to rotate when the dial member 2 rotates. The elastic member 52 provides a rebound reset force to the support member 51 when the dial member 2 is pressed, so that the dial can be released after being pressed. When the dial member 2 is pressed, the elastic member 52 can push the support member 51 to reset by the elastic member 52. Specifically, the elastic support component 5 is accommodated in a U-shaped groove 111 in a maintaining plate 11, and the support member 51 is slidably connected with the groove wall of the U-shaped groove 111. When the dial member 2 is pressed, the rotating shaft 21 pushes the support member 51 to slide backward, thereby squeezing the elastic member 52 and touching the touch switch 4 at the same time. After the dial member 2 is released, the elastic member 52 relaxes and pushes the support member 51 to slide forward in the U-shaped groove 111, so as to drive the rotating shaft 21 to reset, so that the dial member 2 is reset.

[0041] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 511 is provided at one end of the support member 51, and the receiving groove 511 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 21; the receiving groove 511 is a semicircular structure, which is used to receive the rotating shaft 21, so that the rotating shaft 21 can rotate under the support of the receiving groove 511.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotary push switch structure also includes a shell 6, which wraps the support frame 1, the encoder 3, the touch switch 4, and the elastic support component 5, and the dial component 2 protrudes from the shell 6; when installing, the shell 6 is installed on the device as an aesthetic and protective structure to protect the support frame 1, the encoder 3, the touch switch 4, and the elastic support component 5. When in use, the user can directly turn or press the part of the dial component 2 protruding from the shell 6 to trigger an operation instruction.

[0043] Of course, the present utility model may have many other implementations. Based on the present implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
