[0059] The following is a further detailed explanation of this patent in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

[0060] A rotatable and adjustable control panel comprises a ring bracket (1), a rubber ring (2), a magnetic ring (3), a rotating ring (4), a circuit board (5), and a touch liquid crystal (7);

[0061] The outer surface of the annular bracket (1) in the vertical direction is the outer ring (1.1); the inner diameter of the rubber ring (2) is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer ring (1.1) in a relaxed state, and is larger than the outer diameter of the outer ring (1.1) in a tensioned state; the inner diameter of the magnetic ring (3) is larger than the outer diameter of the outer ring (1.1); the outer diameter of the rubber ring (2) is larger than the inner diameter of the rotating ring (4) in a relaxed state; the outer diameter of the rubber ring (2) is smaller than the inner diameter of the rotating ring (4) in a compressed state; and the inner diameter of the rotating ring (4) is larger than the outer diameter of the magnetic ring (3); by setting in this way, it is ensured that the rubber ring has a certain interference, the gap is eliminated, and a damping effect is generated during rotation.

[0062] The rubber ring (2) is sleeved outside the outer ring (1.1) of the annular support (1), the magnetic ring (3) is sleeved outside the outer ring (1.1) of the annular support (1) and is located below the rubber ring (2), and the rotating ring is sleeved outside the rubber ring (2).

[0063] The circuit board (5) is arranged within the vertical inner surface of the annular bracket (1); the circuit board (5) can be powered and includes a connector; the touch liquid crystal (7) includes a cable and is fixed to the annular bracket (1); the touch liquid crystal (7) includes a display liquid crystal cable (7.1) and a touch panel cable (7.2) connected to the touch panel connector (5.2) and the display liquid crystal connector (5.3) of the circuit board (5);

[0064] The magnetic ring (3) is wound with soft magnetic material, and the ends need to be spliced ​​with bevels. This ensures that when rotating, the magnetic ring (3) can send a signal to the magnetic field angle sensor (5.1) at any position. Traditional technology uses vertical splicing. To facilitate processing and assembly, the soft magnetic material needs to be processed into a long strip of a fixed length during mass production. However, there are processing deviations. If it is too long, the excess magnetic strip needs to be cut off after pasting, which is troublesome to handle. If it is processed to be slightly shorter and spliced ​​with vertical surfaces, there will be a missing section at the connection. If the missing section is aligned with the sensor, the signal will be discontinuous. Therefore, using beveled staggered splicing ensures that the soft magnetic material can generate a signal to the sensor at any position.

[0065] The rubber ring (2) is clamped by the outer ring (1.1) and the inner rotating surface of the rotating ring (4), and is provided with an interference fit to generate a certain damping. The rotating ring (4) and the rubber ring (2) are positioned up and down axially by the step (1.5) of the annular bracket (1) and the convex ring (6.3) of the base (6). The convex ring (6.3) of the base (6) supports the lower side surface of the lower boss (4.2) of the rotating ring (4), and the upper side surface of the upper boss (4.1) of the rotating ring supports the rubber ring (2). A small amount of gap is left in the axial direction between the rubber ring and the upper side surface of the upper boss (4.1) of the rotating ring and the lower side surface of the step (1.5) of the annular bracket (1). The gap is filled by the deformation of the rubber ring due to the left and right interference fit to reduce shaking.

[0066] More than two screw columns (1.3) are provided within the inner surface of the annular bracket (1), two of which are provided for positioning the circuit board (5);

[0067] The rotatable adjustable control panel further comprises a base (6), wherein a plurality of screw column holes (6.1) and a connection hole (6.2) are provided on the base (6), and the screw column (1.3) of the annular bracket 1 is passed through the screw column hole (6.1), and the annular bracket (1) is positioned.

[0068] The rotatable adjustable control panel also includes screws, which are fixed into the holes of the screw columns (1.3) through the connecting holes (6.2), thereby fixing the base (6) and the annular bracket 1, and also fixing the circuit board 5, the rotating ring 4, and the rubber ring 2.

[0069] The annular bracket (1) is provided with a square hole (1.2), a magnetic field angle sensor (5.1) is provided on the circuit board (5), and the square hole (1.2) is arranged to be aligned with the magnetic field angle sensor (5.1) on the circuit board (5).

[0070] The rotating ring (4) is provided with an upper boss (4.1) and a lower boss (4.2), the magnetic ring (3) is limited by the upper boss (4.1) and the lower boss (4.2), and the magnetic ring (3) is glued and fixed to the inner side of the rotating ring 4.

[0071] The rotatable and adjustable control panel further comprises a rear cover (8), a power supply module (9), and an iron frame (10); the rear cover (8) is fixed to the power supply module (9) via a rear cover hook (8.1); a pin header (5.2) on the circuit board (5) is connected to a circuit board socket of the power supply module 9 via a pin header hole (8.2); and a lower shell hook (9.1) of the power supply module (9) is fixed to the iron frame 10.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0073] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
