[0022] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the embodiment relates to a waterproof knob 102 switch, which comprises a knob switch main body 100 formed by a connecting seat 101 and a knob 102 hingedly arranged on the connecting seat 101, a waterproof assembly 1 installed on one side of the connecting seat 101, the waterproof assembly 1 comprising a first seat body 11 connected with the connecting seat 101 and a second seat body 12 arranged along the first seat body 11 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the knob 102 and slidably arranged, a plurality of connecting rods 121 arranged on the second seat body 12 and a plurality of compression springs 122 sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rods 121, a plurality of sliding grooves 112 corresponding to the positions of the first seat body 11, and an identification area 123 arranged on the side surface of the second seat body 12.

[0023] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the overall structure of the waterproof knob 102 switch is arranged, and the connection mode between the knob switch main body 100 and the waterproof assembly 1 and the internal structure arrangement of the waterproof assembly 1 can be seen in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , respectively, after installation, the second seat body 12 with the size of the knob 102 on the connecting seat 101 can slide through the plurality of connecting rods 121 arranged thereon and the plurality of compression springs 122 sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rods 121 along the plurality of sliding grooves 112 corresponding to the positions of the first seat body 11 and the outer edge 111 arranged on the first seat body 11, and the specific sliding state can be seen in Figure 2As shown, compared with the traditional knob 102 switch structure, the waterproof assembly 1 structure of the knob switch body 100 can shield the connection gap between the connecting seat 101 and the knob 102, and has high waterproof effect through the setting of the outer edge 111 of the first seat body 11 and the embedded sliding mode of the second seat body 12, effectively reducing the water seepage phenomenon of the connection gap. At the same time, compared with the conventional switch which uses a waterproof cover, the second seat body 12 has a mark area 123 on the side surface. According to the use requirements, the mark area 123 can be marked with appropriate scales or gears. According to the structural characteristics of the knob 102 switch, the knob 102 can be normally rotated and adjusted, and the specific gear or scale of the knob 102 can be observed, monitored and adjusted in real time during the rotation of the knob 102. In addition, through the sliding mode of the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 of the waterproof assembly 1, the connection between the connecting seat 101 and the knob 102 can be observed and cleaned, adjusted, and the knob 102 can be installed, removed, replaced and other operation processes, improving the structural flexibility and use convenience of the waterproof assembly 1.

[0024] The outer wall of the knob 102 and the inner wall of the second seat body 12 are provided with a plurality of sets of toothed ribs 10 engaged with each other, Figures 1-3 As can be seen, the structure of the plurality of sets of toothed ribs 10 on the outer wall of the knob 102 and the inner wall of the second seat body 12 is added, which can ensure that the waterproof assembly 1 around the knob 102 has a certain waterproof effect, and can adjust the rotation of the knob 102 by pressing the second seat body 12 to slide along the first seat body 11. After the adjustment of the knob 102 is completed, the plurality of sets of toothed ribs 10 on the corresponding positions of the outer wall of the knob 102 and the inner wall of the second seat body 12 can be engaged under the action of the compression spring 122 around the connecting rod 121, so as to lock the position of the knob 102, reduce unnecessary adjustment errors caused by unnecessary position rotation or rotation of the knob 102 in different environments, improve the adjustment convenience and stability of the waterproof knob 102 switch, meet different use requirements, improve the applicability and practicality.

[0025] The several groups of toothed ribs 10 are arranged corresponding to the marking positions of the marking area 123. Specifically, the several groups of toothed ribs 10 can be set in the corresponding adjustment positions according to the corresponding marking mode of the marking area 123 arranged with scales or gears, so as to effectively reduce the rotation of the knob 102 in the meshing process of the toothed ribs 10, thereby affecting the adjustment accuracy in the corresponding adjustment positions, improving the structural adaptability of the gear ribs, and the adjustment accuracy and stability of the waterproof knob 102 switch in the corresponding scales or gears.
