DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, Figures 1 to 9 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model are described clearly and completely.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention discloses a novel rotary shaft switch module 100 comprising a mounting base 1, a rotating shaft 3, and an elastic spring 4. The mounting base 1 comprises a seat ring 14, and a supporting inner ring 11 and a supporting outer ring 12 concentrically arranged along the top surface of the seat ring 14. A mounting ring groove 13 is formed between the supporting inner ring 11 and the supporting outer ring 12. A central aperture 16 is formed in the center of the supporting inner ring 11. A button for functions such as switching and confirmation can be assembled within the central aperture 16. The outer periphery of the seat ring 14 can be secured to a circuit board or other structural components using screws.

[0028] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the rotating shaft 3 includes a supporting ring plate 31 and an inner ring 32 mounted within the inner ring of the supporting ring plate 31. The supporting ring plate 31 is supported within the mounting ring groove 13, and the top of the supporting ring plate 31 has multiple retaining grooves 33 evenly distributed along its circumference. The top surface of the inner ring 32 is substantially the same height as the supporting inner ring body 11. Under the action of an external force, the rotating shaft 3 can rotate within the mounting ring groove 13.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figures 8 and 9As shown, the elastic spring 4 is a downwardly protruding arched ring structure. The elastic spring 4 is correspondingly clamped between the inner ring 32 and the inner side of the supporting outer ring body 12, and is elastically connected to the top surface of the supporting ring plate 31, which can ensure the stability of the rotating shaft 3 during the rotation process; two limiting ear blocks 42 are correspondingly provided in the circumferential direction of the elastic spring 4, and the two limiting ear blocks 42 are correspondingly clamped on the inner side of the supporting outer ring body 12, so that the elastic spring 4 is fixedly clamped on the inner side of the supporting outer ring body 12 and does not rotate with the rotating shaft 3. An elastic clamping portion 41 is provided in the circumference of the elastic spring 4. The elastic clamping portion 41 is a smooth U-shaped structure protruding downward along the elastic spring 4. The limiting groove 33 is a U-shaped groove structure adapted to the outer structure of the elastic clamping portion 41. Rotating the rotating shaft 3 can make the elastic clamping portion 41 snap into the limiting groove 33 to produce a "click" sound, thereby realizing a sound experience; the number of limiting grooves 33 on the supporting ring plate 31 of the rotating shaft 3 can be set according to needs, so that the number of "click" sounds generated by the rotating shaft 3 after one rotation meets the design requirements.

[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the rotary shaft switch module 100 also includes a metal cover 2. The inner ring of the metal cover 2 is correspondingly sleeved on the outer circumference of the inner ring 32, and the outer circumference of the metal cover 2 is correspondingly pressed against the top surface of the supporting outer ring body 12. The metal cover 2 can press the elastic spring 4 against the top surface of the supporting ring plate 31. The metal cover 2 is provided with a plurality of fixing clips 21 at equal intervals along the circumference. The connecting root of the outer circumference of the supporting outer ring body 12 and the seat ring 14 is provided with a fixing slot 15. The fixing clips 21 are correspondingly engaged in the fixing slots 15.

[0031] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
