A plug hole 23 for connecting to the knob switch of the gas stove is provided in the middle of the rotating member 20. A conductor sheet 60 is provided in the inner annular groove 11 of the mounting base 10. The conductor sheet 60 is specifically integrally injection molded with the mounting base 10 through an embedded injection process.

[0019] Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the potential brush 50 is installed on the lower side of the rotating member 20, and a limiting protrusion 24 is provided on the upper side of the rotating member 20. A rotation limiting groove 33 corresponding to the potential code piece 40 is opened on the cover 30. The rotation limiting groove 33 is in the shape of an arc and cooperates with the limiting protrusion 24. Figure 3 As shown, the rotation limiting groove 33 is specifically provided with an initial end 331 and an end end 332.

[0020] The rotating member 20 drives the potential brush 50 to rotate. When the limiting protrusion 24 on the rotating member 20 moves to the initial end 331 of the rotation limiting groove 33, the gas valve flow is zero; when the limiting protrusion 24 on the rotating member 20 moves to the rear end 332 of the rotation limiting groove 33, the gas valve flow is maximum.

[0021] Combined with attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the rotating member 20 is provided with an upper boss portion 21 and a lower boss portion 22, and a plug-in hole 23 is provided through the upper boss portion 21 and the lower boss portion 22.
