Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical rehabilitation equipment, and specifically relates to a switch knob mechanism and handle convenient for hand holding. BACKGROUND

[0002] Switch knobs are widely applied and are used on electrical appliances in various fields such as household appliances, medical treatment and industry. The main function thereof is to control electrical appliances to start, stop, shift gears and adjust speed through the rotation operation of hands.

[0003] The existing switch knobs generally include the following types:

[0004] 1. The switch knob disclosed in CN103474263A has a triangular protruding part, which is split from a decorative ring and is connected through a stand and a clamping groove to facilitate the replacement of the decorative ring. However, such a knob is clumsy and unattractive on handheld devices, and there is a market demand for a more rounded and smooth operation knob without protrusions.

[0005] 2. Some switch knobs generally include an injection-molded decorative cap, which is connected to an operating member with a metal spring through buckles and the like. The rotation of the cap can drive the metal spring to select the contacts on the PCB. For example, CN214312803U describes a selection switch knob assembly. Another common type is the steam iron knob disclosed in CN203160005U, which has a cylindrical protrusion with a groove. The D-shaped hole on the back is connected to the D-shaped shaft of the encoder, thereby driving the internal electrical components to switch gears. However, with the progress of manufacturing and the increasing demand for products, electrical appliances are becoming smaller and more handheld. Although these two types of knobs are simple, they have poor operation feel and are not attractive on handheld products.

[0006] 3. The mechanical switch knob disclosed in CN207800452U can select the contacts of the mechanical switch on the PCB through the rotation of the ignition valve. However, it does not have a force feedback structure, and the operation feel depends entirely on the elasticity of the ignition valve. For example, the knob of CN214312803U moves the shaft core through buckles, and the shaft core has a flange structure. The flange drives the spring sheet to generate resistance, resulting in poor operation feel.

[0007] 4. The switch knob stepless speed regulation structure disclosed in CN216054444U generates the feeling of being moved by the cooperation of the toothed surface in the knob and the spring telescopic top pin. The driving mechanism connected with the knob is the rotating shaft, magnet or grating matched with the encoder, Hall sensor or grating sensor. Based on the signal transmission of electricity, magnetism and light, the principle is more susceptible to electromagnetic interference and attack, and the safety and reliability are not as good as the mechanical type. Therefore, in some particularly important scenes, it is still more stable and reliable to adopt the mechanical structure. Utility model content

[0051] In order to more fully understand the technical content of the utility model, the utility model will be further introduced and explained in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments; it needs to be explained that if there are "first", "second" and the like description in the text, it is used to distinguish different components and the like, and does not represent the order, and also does not limit that "first" and "second" are different types.

[0052] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, and not all the embodiments; based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] As Figures 1 to 10As shown, the hand-held switch knob mechanism 100 shown in the embodiment includes a fixed seat 1, a knob 2, a fixed block 3, a spring needle assembly and a circuit board 4. The upper end of the fixed seat 1 is provided with a cylindrical fixed shaft 10 protruding upward in the middle, and the center of the fixed shaft 10 is provided with a threading hole 11 for cable threading along the axial direction. The knob 2 is rotatably arranged on the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 10. The fixed block 3 is arranged at the end of the fixed shaft 10 away from the fixed seat 1 and above the knob 2, so that the knob 2 and the fixed block 3 are arranged in opposite directions. The spring needle assembly is arranged on one side of the knob 2 facing the fixed block 3. The spring needle assembly includes two first spring needles 5 and second spring needles 6 arranged in close proximity to the inner and outer periphery, i.e. the side edges of the first spring needles 5 and the second spring needles 6 abut to form a continuous conductive group, and the first spring needles 5 and the second spring needles 6 are arranged on two different circumferential lines. The circuit board 4 is fixed to one side of the fixed block 3 facing the knob 2 by screws. The side of the circuit board 4 facing the knob 2 is provided with an arc-shaped conductive sheet 41 extending in the circumferential direction and abutting the first spring needles 5, i.e. the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41 is distributed in a fan shape. During rotation of the knob 2, the first spring needles 5 can continuously conduct with the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41 in the fan-shaped area, realizing electrical connection between the two, and the side of the circuit board 4 facing the knob 2 is also provided with a plurality of conductive contacts 42 distributed in the circumferential direction and abutting the second spring needles 6, and the conductive contacts 42 are arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41, i.e. the distribution area of the conductive contacts 42 on the circumference is located on one side of the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41, forming adjacent arrangement. During rotation of the knob 2, the second spring needles 6 can be sequentially and correspondingly conducted with the plurality of conductive contacts 42 distributed in the circumference, and then the electrical connection between the single conductive contact and the arc-shaped conductive sheet is realized through the spring needle assembly, forming a conductive loop.

[0055] It can be understood that the number of conductive contacts 42 is determined according to the specific number of gears of the switch knob, for example, Figure 2 As shown, when the switch knob has five gears (including 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 gears), the number of conductive contacts can be four, corresponding to gears 1 to 4 among the five gears, and no conductive contact is needed for gear 0, or the number of conductive contacts can be five, corresponding to the five gears, but the conductive contact for gear 0 does not conduct with the circuit board 4, only serving as a rotating positioning and operating feel for gear adjustment.

[0056] In an embodiment, the lower end of the fixed seat 1 is provided with gear marks (i.e. numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) at positions corresponding to each conductive contact 41, and the outer periphery of the knob 2 is recessed with a gear identification point 20 matched with the gear marks. The gear identification point 20 corresponds to which gear mark indicates that the gear is adjusted to the gear recorded by the gear mark, and the outer periphery of the knob 2 is also provided with a plurality of spaced-apart anti-slip grooves 25 to increase the touch and anti-slip during rotation operation.

[0057] In an embodiment, in order to better feel the rotation of the second ejector pin 6 to a certain position of the conductive contact and abut against the conductive contact, the circuit board 4 is recessed at positions corresponding to the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41 and the conductive contact 42, forming a rotation stop touch.

[0058] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 the switch knob mechanism further comprises two symmetrical ball assemblies 7 arranged between the fixed shaft 10 and the knob 2. The knob 2 is recessed with a guide groove 21 around the fixed shaft 10 at the lower end away from the fixed block 3, and the guide groove 21 is a regular polygon. The ball assembly 7 comprises a mounting sleeve 71 with an inner groove 70, a ball 72 arranged in the inner groove 70, and an elastic member 73 arranged between the ball 72 and the bottom of the inner groove 70. The slot diameter of the inner groove 70 is smaller than the outer diameter of the ball 72, thereby forming an outer limiting structure for the ball 72 to avoid the ball 72 from being separated from the mounting sleeve 71, and the front end of the ball 72 protrudes from the slot of the inner groove 70 under the action of the elastic member 73 and continuously abuts against the guide groove 21. Preferably, the elastic member 73 is a spring.

[0059] In the above, the polygonal groove in the knob cooperates with the ball assembly on the fixed seat. When the knob is sleeved into the fixed seat, the ball on the ball assembly can be clamped into the polygonal groove. The ball can continuously abut against the groove wall under the action of the spring force. When the knob is rotated relative to the fixed seat, the ball slides relative to the side wall of the polygonal groove from one corner to another corner. In this process, the compression and release of the spring caused by the change of the center distance generates the damping feeling of gear shifting, and the operation feeling is good. The strength of the feeling depends on the spring constant of the spring. The spring with a suitable spring constant can be selected according to actual needs, that is, the force can be adjusted. The mechanical knob switch has good stability, simple installation, and low cost.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 10 is provided with two mounting seats 12 corresponding to the ball assemblies 7. The outer side of the mounting seat 12 is recessed with a containing groove 13 containing the ball assembly 7 in the radial direction, and one end of the ball assembly 7 protrudes from the mounting seat 12 for abutting against the groove wall of the guide groove.

[0061] In an embodiment, taking the example of the switch knob mechanism having five gears of 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, the five gears are distributed at an interval of 45 degrees around the center of the circle, and the corresponding conductive contacts are also distributed at an interval of 45 degrees around the center of the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41 on one side of the arc-shaped conductive sheet 41, that is, after rotating by 45 degrees, the second elastic needle 6 abuts against one of the conductive contacts to form one gear, and when the knob 2 is continuously turned, the gears can be switched among the gears; in order to match the rotation angle of the knob when switching between two adjacent gears, the guide groove 21 is designed as a regular octagon, so that when the knob 2 is rotated, the ball 72 rotates through one side of the regular octagon every 45 degrees, thereby generating a damping feeling of gear shifting.

[0062] Of course, it can be understood that the guide groove can also be designed as other polygons according to the gear distribution and the required rotation angle between adjacent gears, such as a regular hexagon, a regular pentagon, etc.

[0063] As a preferred, the groove edge of the guide groove 21 can also be designed as a larger arc, and the arc transition can improve the smoothness and fluency of the rotation of the knob 2.

[0064] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7 the upper end of the guide groove 21 is recessed with a limiting groove 22 extending in the circumferential direction to form an arc-shaped limiting structure, and the upper end of the mounting seat 12 is protruded with a limiting protrusion 14 inserted into the limiting groove 22, the limiting protrusion 14 and the limiting groove 22 are matched to limit the circumferential rotation of the knob 2, and the knob 2 can only rotate back and forth within the range of the limiting groove 22.

[0065] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 one side of the knob 2 facing the fixed block 3 is recessed with a fan-shaped groove 23, and a fan-shaped stop sheet 8 is fixed in the fan-shaped groove 23 by a screw, and the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 10 is recessed with a ring groove 15 matched with the inner periphery of the stop sheet 8, that is, the stop sheet 8 is attached to the bottom surface of the fan-shaped groove 23 and is pushed towards the center of the shaft, and is embedded in the ring groove 15 of the fixed shaft 10, and is locked on the corresponding threaded hole of the knob 2 by a screw, thereby limiting the axial movement of the knob 2 relative to the fixed seat 1, and forming an axial fiber structure of the knob.

[0066] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 8 to 9 one side of the knob 2 facing the fixed block 3 is also recessed with a recess 24, and an elastic needle seat 51 is embedded in the recess 24 by a tight fit, and the elastic needle seat 51 is provided with a containing groove 52 containing an elastic needle assembly, and one end of the elastic needle assembly protrudes out of the elastic needle seat 51; the recess 24 and the fan-shaped groove 23 are separately arranged on both sides of the fixed shaft 10 and do not interfere with each other.

[0067] Optionally, the first and second elastic needles 5 and 6 are retractable copper needles, which are in contact with each other and embedded in the accommodating grooves of the elastic needle seat 51 side by side; the retractable copper needle is a mature product in the prior art, which can be directly purchased on the market, and the principle is not described here.

[0068] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 A cavity 30 is formed between the circuit board 4 and the fixing block 3, and a through hole 31 is provided on the fixing block 3 for the wire to pass through and communicate with the cavity 30. When the switch knob mechanism is applied to a handle product, the wire between the main board in the handle and the circuit board 4 can pass through the through hole 31, which facilitates the electrical connection between the circuit board and the external application product.

[0069] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 The switch knob mechanism further includes a wire sleeve 9 which is embedded in the wire hole 11 and used for fixing the cable 101. The wire hole 11 is a tapered hole with a small lower part and a large upper part, and the wire sleeve 9 is a tapered wire sleeve which is matched with the wire hole 11. The taper of the wire hole 11 and the wire sleeve 9 is preferably 1:15, so that a tapered positioning is formed at the bottom after the combination of the two. The fixing block 3 is sleeved on the stop step 16 which is concave on both sides of the end of the fixing shaft 10. An insertion fixing groove is formed between the wire sleeve 9 and the end of the fixing shaft 10, and a locking piece 91 is inserted in the insertion fixing groove for pressing the fixing block 3 downward. That is, the stop step 16 and the locking piece 91 form an up-down limiting structure for the fixing block 3, and the locking piece 91 can simultaneously press the wire sleeve 9 and the cable 101 inward, thereby further providing a holding force to the upper end of the cable.

[0070] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The outer side end of the locking piece 91 extends outwardly from the fixing shaft 10. The cable 101 is provided with a cable clamp 102 which is threadedly connected with the outer side end of the locking piece 91, so as to lock the upper end of the cable on the locking piece 91, and cooperate with the tapered positioning of the lower end, thereby forming a double locking effect on the cable. The wire sleeve tightens the cable uniformly and consistently in the entire circumference, and the stability and aesthetics are better. An elastic sleeve 103 is further provided between the outer side end of the locking piece 91 and the cable 101, so as to improve the clamping force and fixing force of the cable.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] As shown in Figure 11 The embodiment further provides another switch knob mechanism which is convenient to hold, and the structure thereof is basically the same as that of the embodiment. The difference lies in that the structure for cooperating with the elastic needle assembly on the circuit board is not the same, and the specific structure is as follows.

[0073] Several conductive groups cooperating with the spring pin assembly are provided on the side of the circuit board 4 facing the knob 2. The several conductive groups are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the circuit board. The conductive groups include a first conductive contact 200 and a second conductive contact 201 that respectively correspond to the first spring pin and the second spring pin, forming a double-point contact connection.

[0074] Preferably, recesses are formed on the circuit board at positions corresponding to the first conductive contacts 200 and the second conductive contacts 201 .

[0075] In other different implementation cases, the first conductive contact and the second conductive contact of the same conductive group can also be arranged on the same circumference and adjacent to each other, and the two first elastic pins and the second elastic pins of the marble assembly are also correspondingly arranged on the same circumference and respectively cooperate with the first conductive contact and the second conductive contact.
