Specific Embodiments
[0035] The following will further describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0036] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a conductive stable potentiometer includes a base 1, a positioning post 2, a resistance sheet 3, a rotating brush 4, and a lock cover 5; a receiving groove 11 is provided on the base 1; the positioning post 2 is installed on the bottom of the receiving groove 11; the resistance sheet 3 has a positioning hole 31 adapted to the positioning post 2; the resistance sheet 3 is fitted and embedded in the receiving groove 11, and the positioning post 2 is aligned and passed through the positioning hole 31 to fix the resistance sheet 3 in the receiving groove 11; the rotating brush 4 is rotatably connected to the base 1 and is electrically connected to the resistance sheet 3; the lock cover 5 is snap-connected to the base 1 at a position corresponding to the receiving groove 11.
[0037] By combining the base 1, the positioning post 2, the resistance sheet 3, the rotating brush 4, and the lock cover 5, the conductive stable potentiometer first designs the receiving groove 11 to be adapted to the installation of the resistance sheet 3 to form a first-level positioning, and then designs the positioning hole 31 on the resistance sheet 3 to be adapted to fit on the positioning post 2 to form a second-level positioning. Further, the lock cover 5 is snap-connected to the base 1 at a position corresponding to the receiving groove 11 to form a third-level positioning. By designing such a three-level positioning mechanism, the structure is stable and reliable, effectively avoiding the position deviation of the resistance sheet 3 during use, ensuring the conductive stability of the potentiometer during the adjustment process, and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0038] In order to strengthen the stability of the resistance sheet 3 in the receiving groove 11, effectively avoid the position deviation of the resistance sheet 3 during use, ensure the conductive stability of the potentiometer during the adjustment process, and improve the overall performance of the device. Limit hooks 12 are provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 11; limit protrusions 32 are provided on the edge of the resistance sheet 3 corresponding to the position of the limit hooks 12; when the resistance sheet 3 is fitted and embedded in the receiving groove 11, the limit protrusions 32 slide over the limit hooks 12 along with the embedding movement of the resistance sheet 3 and are snapped in the limit hooks 12. Designing the limit hooks 12 and the limit protrusions 32 in this way is beneficial to the resistance sheet 3 being clamped in the receiving groove 11, not easily loosening and jumping out of the receiving groove 11, effectively avoiding the position deviation of the resistance sheet 3 during use, ensuring the conductive stability of the potentiometer during the adjustment process, and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0039] In order to enhance the connection stability between the lock cover housing 5 and the base 1 and facilitate disassembly and assembly, a number of lock cover hooks 6 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the base 1; on the edge of the lock cover housing 5, there are lock hook bayonets 51 with the same number and corresponding positions as the lock cover hooks 6; when the lock cover housing 5 is properly covered on the base 1, the lock hook bayonets 51 are properly snapped onto the lock cover hooks 6. Snapping a number of lock cover hooks 6 onto the lock hook bayonets 51 one by one has a simple structure, is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and is convenient for installation and maintenance. At the same time, it can enhance the connection stability between the lock cover housing 5 and the base 1, ensuring the conductive stability of the potentiometer during the adjustment process and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0040] In order to further enhance the connection stability between the resistance sheet 3 and the base 1, the base 1 has positioning protrusions 13 on the groove side walls of the accommodation groove 11; at positions corresponding to the positioning protrusions 13 on the resistance sheet 3, there are positioning grooves 33. Embedding the positioning protrusions 13 into the positioning grooves 33 forms a fourth-level positioning, making it difficult for the resistance sheet 3 to shift in the horizontal direction relative to the base 1, effectively avoiding the position shift of the resistance sheet 3 during use, ensuring the conductive stability of the potentiometer during the adjustment process, and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0041] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped or ring-shaped first resistance paint layer 34 and a ring-shaped second resistance paint layer 35 located within the first resistance paint layer 34 are provided on the surface of the resistance sheet 3; the rotary brush 4 includes a first conductive part 41 in electrical contact with the first resistance paint layer 34, a second conductive part 42 in electrical contact with the second resistance paint layer 35, and a conductive sheet 43 electrically connected to both the first conductive part 41 and the second conductive part 42; the radius of the first conductive part 41 is greater than the radius of the second conductive part 42; the conductive sheet 43 is rotatably connected to the base 1 through a shaft sleeve 7. Thus, by designing the first resistance paint layer 34 and the second resistance paint layer 35 on the resistance sheet 3, and forming the rotary brush 4 through the first conductive part 41, the second conductive part 42, and the conductive sheet 43, and rotating circumferentially around the axis of the rotary brush 4, electrical connection between the resistance sheet 3 and the rotary brush 4 is achieved, facilitating adjustment of the resistance value of the resistance sheet 3, so that this conductive stability type potentiometer can be better applied in electronic devices such as robots and drones.
[0042] Preferably, the first conductive part 41 and the second conductive part 42 are both provided with wrinkled parts 44 that are in electrical contact with the first resistance paint layer 34 and the second resistance paint layer 35 respectively. By designing the wrinkled parts 44 on both the first conductive part 41 and the second conductive part 42, better electrical contact with the first resistance paint layer 34 and the second resistance paint layer 35 is achieved, resulting in a good conductive effect.
[0043] Furthermore, both the first conductive part 41 and the second conductive part 42 have arc-shaped conductive wires 45. There are several conductive wires 45, and adjacent conductive wires 45 are separated from each other.
[0044] To ensure better electrical conductivity between the first conductive part 41 and the first resistive paint layer 34, and between the second conductive part 42 and the second resistive paint layer 35, and improve the electrical contact between structures, the first conductive part 41 is bent towards the first resistive paint layer 34; the second conductive part 42 is bent towards the second resistive paint layer 35.
[0045] Preferably, both the first resistive paint layer 34 and the second resistive paint layer 35 are conductive silver paint layers. Designing the first resistive paint layer 34 and the second resistive paint layer 35 in this way improves the high electrical conductivity between the rotary brush 4 and the resistive sheet 3, thereby ensuring the electrical conductivity stability during the adjustment of the potentiometer and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0046] To better connect and conduct electricity and enable the conductive stability potentiometer to be better applied in electronic devices such as robots and drones, a first conductive extension layer 36 and a second conductive extension layer 37 electrically connected to the first resistive paint layer 34 and the second resistive paint layer 35 are respectively connected to the resistive sheet 3; a first power connection terminal 8 and a second power connection terminal 9 electrically connected to the first conductive extension layer 36 and the second conductive extension layer 37 are respectively connected to the base 1.
[0047] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a conductive stability potentiometer. Among them, the conductive stability potentiometer combines the base 1, the positioning post 2, the resistive sheet 3, the rotary brush 4 and the locking cover 5. First, the accommodating groove 11 is designed to be adapted to the resistive sheet 3 for installation to form a first-level positioning. Then, the positioning hole 31 on the resistive sheet 3 is designed to be sleeved on the positioning post 2 to form a second-level positioning. Further, the locking cover 5 is snap-connected to the base 1 at a position corresponding to the accommodating groove 11 to form a third-level positioning. By designing such a three-level positioning mechanism, the structure is stable and reliable, effectively avoiding the position deviation of the resistive sheet 3 during use, ensuring the electrical conductivity stability during the adjustment of the potentiometer, and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present application, several improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
