[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4In one embodiment, a wireless knob controller includes a main body 1 and a placement frame 2. A circuit board 3 is provided on the main body 1, and a wireless communication module and a control circuit are integrated on the circuit board 3. The main body 1 is connected to the placement frame 2. A rotating ring 4 is provided between the main body 1 and the placement frame 2. The rotating ring 4 can rotate relatively on the main body 1. The inner ring of the rotating ring 4 is provided with an internal gear ring 5. The internal gear ring 5 is connected to the detection component 6 in the control circuit. A display component is provided on the placement frame 2, and the display component is used to display the product status. A glass plate 15 is provided on the placement frame 2, and an icon for auxiliary explanation is provided on the glass plate 15. The position of the icon corresponds to the touch detection module 8 provided on the circuit board 3.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control circuit further includes a microprocessor, a battery management module, etc. The detection component 6 includes a toggle-type two-way tact switch. By rotating the rotating ring 4, the teeth on the internal gear interact with the toggle-type two-way tact switch, which can capture information about the rotation angle and direction and transmit this information to the microprocessor in real time. The display component includes a TFT screen, and the TFT screen is provided with a backlight with adjustable brightness. Various text, numbers, and graphical information are displayed on the TFT screen. The icons are composed of multiple different texts or patterns, each of which represents a function or status of the product device. Corresponding touch detection modules 8 are provided under each of the patterns to ensure that touching the corresponding pattern on the glass plate 15 can achieve control of the product.

[0028] It can be understood that in this embodiment, taking the lifting table as an example, the wireless communication module is connected to the control box in the lifting table, and the motor or other driving device on the lifting table can be driven by performing forward and reverse infinite rotation, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the lifting table top; at the same time, the lifting table will feed back the current desktop inclination data to the wireless knob controller in real time; the wireless communication module of the wireless knob controller receives the inclination angle data fed back by the lifting table, and updates the display content in real time through the display module to display the current inclination data of the lifting table; the user can perform other functions through the touch detection module 8, such as adjusting the height of the smart table and chair, switching the working mode, one-button height setting, etc.; the touch detection principle of the touch detection module 8 adopts either the capacitive touch screen technology or the infrared touch screen technology in the existing technology, and its working principle is not described in detail here.

[0029] In summary, by establishing a wireless connection with the product equipment through the built-in wireless communication module, remote control can be achieved. The user can operate the device at any convenient location without being close to the device. At the same time, there is no need to reserve space for operation buttons on the product equipment, so that the appearance of the product can be more beautiful and simple, and dust accumulation on the buttons can be effectively avoided. By rotating the rotating ring 4 forward and reverse infinitely, the parameters of the product equipment can be adjusted, and the process and results of the parameter adjustment can be displayed through the display component. Through the icons on the glass plate 15 and the touch detection module, touch screen control can be achieved, reducing the layout of the buttons designed on the controller, and effectively avoiding the problem of dust accumulation in the button gaps after the buttons are set, which is inconvenient to clean. It is more convenient to clean and maintain overall.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 On the basis of the above embodiment, a placement slot 9 is provided on the placement rack 2, and the display component is arranged in the placement slot 9. A plurality of through holes 10 are provided on the placement rack 2, and the positions of the plurality of through holes 10 correspond to the icons. A prompt component is also included, and the prompt component includes a motor and a spring 11. A motor and a spring 11 are provided on the circuit board 3, and the position of the spring 11 corresponds to the position of the through hole 10. It can be understood that a motor drive circuit is integrated on the circuit board 3 to control parameters such as the start, stop and speed of the motor; when the user touches the corresponding pattern and the operation is confirmed to be successful, the microprocessor will drive the motor to run; when the motor vibrates, the vibration will be transmitted to the position of the spring 11 through the circuit board 3; since the spring 11 is in contact with the circuit board 3, it can further transmit the vibration generated by the motor in the form of mechanical waves; for example, the spring 11 can transmit the vibration to the structure near the wireless knob display screen, so that the display screen area can also feel the vibration, thereby allowing the user to feel the prompt vibration of the successful operation by touching the display screen or holding the device.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 On the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a base 12, the lower surface of the base 12 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the upper surface of the base 12 is inclined to the horizontal plane. A mounting groove is provided on the base 12, and the size of the mounting groove is adapted to the size of the main body 1. It can be understood that by placing the wireless knob controller in the mounting groove, it helps to place the entire controller stably; since the upper surface of the base 12 is inclined to the horizontal plane, the wireless knob controller (for display) placed in the mounting groove will have an inclined angle; this angle can enable the viewer to obtain a better viewing angle and reduce the influence of reflection and glare.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3Based on the above embodiment, the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 are further included. The first magnet 13 is provided in the base 12, and the second magnet 14 is provided in the main body 1. The first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 are adapted to each other. It can be understood that the attraction between the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 can firmly fix the wireless controller to the base 12. Even if subjected to slight external force (such as shaking of the desktop, accidental touch, etc.), the wireless controller will not easily fall off the base 12.

[0033] Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a lighting module (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the circuit board 3. The number of light-emitting bodies on the lighting module corresponds to the number of icons, and the positions of the light-emitting bodies correspond to the positions of the icons. It can be understood that by setting the lighting module and the light-emitting bodies, it is possible to provide display lighting for the pattern on the glass plate 15, ensuring that the pattern display on the glass plate 15 can be clearly seen in places with poor light.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiment, the outer ring of the rotating ring 4 is provided with anti-slip ridges; it can be understood that by providing the anti-slip ridges, the friction between the fingers and the rotating ring 4 can be significantly increased; when people rotate the rotating ring 4, this friction can prevent the fingers from slipping on the surface of the rotating ring 4; because the anti-slip ridges provide a better grip, the operator can more accurately control the rotation range of the rotating ring 4.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiment, a rubber pad 16 is further included. The lower surface of the base 12 is provided with a rubber pad 16. It can be understood that by providing the rubber pad 16, an anti-slip effect can be achieved. The rubber pad 16 can increase the friction between the base 12 and the contact surface, preventing the base 12 and the controller from sliding due to slight external forces (such as shaking of the desktop, accidental touch, etc.).

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiment, a charging socket 17 is provided on the side of the circuit board 3 facing away from the placement rack 2, and a battery 18 is provided in the main body 1. The battery 18 is located at the bottom of the circuit board 3. It can be understood that after the charging socket 17 and the battery 18 are provided, even if the battery is not replaced, the power can be restored by charging and continued to be used; at the same time, by providing the battery 18, it can be charged in advance, so that the wireless controller is always ready for use.
