Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potentiometer technology, and in particular to an intelligent knob. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary switch is a manual component that is controlled by hand. It can be rotated continuously or in a fixed position depending on the function required. Many household appliances on the market are equipped with rotary switches, such as gas stoves, water heaters, microwave ovens, and induction cookers. A smart rotary switch, on the other hand, is a rotary switch with a display and function switching capabilities. Replacing the ordinary rotary switch on a traditional stove with a smart rotary switch allows the switch status and function of the knob to be displayed on the screen, enabling users to intelligently control the operation of the appliance.

[0003] See Chinese Patent 202410117631.5, filed by the applicant on January 29, 2024, which discloses an intelligent knob, including a base shell, a rotating component, an inner support component, a pinion, a PCBA circuit board, a display module, and a knob outer ring; the upper side of the base shell has an annular cavity and a pinion mounting position; the rotating component includes a large gear and a knob support ring, the large gear being rotatably housed within the annular cavity; the inner support component is disposed on the upper side of the rotating component, and the rotating component can rotate on the lower side of the inner support component, the inner support component being connected to the base shell; the pinion is mounted on the pinion mounting position, the pinion meshes with the large gear, and the pinion is equipped with a permanent magnet; the PCBA circuit board is mounted on the inner support component, the PCBA circuit board is equipped with a magnetic induction chip, the magnetic induction chip and the permanent magnet are magnetically inductively coupled; the lower end of the knob outer ring is connected to the knob support ring of the rotating component. The rotating component has a large internal gear and a small gear mounted on the inner ring of the annular cavity. The large gear has an outer corrugation, and a spring is mounted on the outer ring of the annular cavity. The spring elastically contacts and engages with the outer corrugation of the large gear. A protrusion on one side of the spring elastically abuts against the outer corrugation. The display module includes a display support, a display screen, and a glass cover. Several support blocks are located on the upper outer periphery of the inner support. The display support is mounted on these support blocks. A display positioning cavity is located in the middle of the display support, and the display screen is installed within this cavity. An FPC cable connects the display screen to the PCBA circuit board. In this patent, rotating the outer ring of the knob rotates the rotating component, which in turn drives the small gear to rotate. The small gear then drives the permanent magnet to rotate. Finally, the magnetic induction chip senses the rotation of the permanent magnet and outputs an electrical signal. Simultaneously, the display screen displays various functions and data.

[0004] However, the smart knob also has the following technical problems: (1) The display module of the smart knob needs to be set with a display support. The display support is installed and positioned on the inner support block, which makes the display module more complicated and the installation more inconvenient; (2) Since the rotating part of the smart knob is mounted on the bottom shell and the outer ring of the knob is connected to the knob support ring of the rotating part, the weight of the outer ring of the knob presses on the rotating part, which makes the friction between the rotating part and the bottom shell larger and the rotation smoothness of the rotating part is adversely affected; (3) The smart knob uses a spring and an outer corrugated elastic contact. The spring has a small extension and contraction range and poor compression flexibility, so the hand feel when the outer ring of the knob is rotated is not good enough. Utility Model Content

[0018] The structural and working principles of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an intelligent knob, including a base 1, a knob outer ring 2, an annular rotating component 3, an inner support component 4, a small gear 5, a spring bead 6, a PCBA circuit board 7, a display screen 8, and a glass cover 9. The knob outer ring 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. The upper side of the base 1 is provided with an annular cavity 11 and a small gear mounting position 12. The annular rotating component 3 is rotatably mounted inside the annular cavity 11. The outer side of the annular rotating component 3 is connected to the inner side of the knob outer ring 2. The inner side of the annular rotating component 3 is provided with a large gear 31. The small gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the small gear mounting position 12 and meshes with the large gear 31. A permanent magnet is installed inside the upper end of the small gear 5. 10; The spring glass bead 6 is installed inside the annular cavity 11, and the outer side of the lower end of the annular rotating member 3 is provided with an outer corrugation 32. The spring glass bead 6 is in elastic contact with the outer corrugation 32; The inner support member 4 is provided on the upper side of the annular rotating member 3, and the annular rotating member 3 can rotate on the lower side of the inner support member 4. The inner support member 4 is connected to the base 1; The PCBA circuit board 7 is installed on the inner support member 4. The PCBA circuit board 7 is provided with a magnetic induction chip 71. The magnetic induction chip 71 is in magnetic induction contact with the permanent magnet 10; The display screen 8 is installed on the inner support member 4, and the glass cover plate 9 is installed on the display screen 8. The outer ring 2 of the knob is rotatably fitted outside the display screen 8 and the glass cover plate 9.

[0020] This invention employs a permanent magnet 10 and a magnetic induction chip 71 on a PCBA circuit board 7 to achieve electrical signal output through magnetic induction. The magnetic induction chip 71 and the permanent magnet 10 are contactless, wear-free, and have a long service life. When the outer ring 2 of the knob is rotated, it drives the annular rotating component 3 to rotate. The large gear 31 of the annular rotating component 3 then drives the small gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the permanent magnet 10 to rotate. Finally, the magnetic induction chip 71 senses the rotation of the permanent magnet 10 and outputs an electrical signal. The component structure for driving the permanent magnet 10 is simple, easy to assemble, and low in cost. Furthermore, only one permanent magnet 10 and one magnetic induction chip 71 are needed to achieve the rotational electrical signal output of the intelligent knob, and the number of encoded signals is unlimited, making the control of various functions of the intelligent knob easier. This invention eliminates the need for a display screen support in the prior art by mounting the display screen 8 on the inner support member 4 and the glass cover plate 9 on the display screen 8.

Furthermore, the outer ring 2 of the knob is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the outer side of the annular rotating member 3 is connected to the inner side of the outer ring 2. This prevents the weight of the outer ring 2 from pressing down on the annular rotating member 3, reducing friction between the annular rotating member 3 and the base 1, resulting in smooth rotation of the annular rotating member 3. Finally, this invention utilizes a spring-loaded glass ball 6 in elastic contact with the outer corrugations 32 of the annular rotating member 3. Compared to traditional spring structures, the spring-loaded glass ball 6 of this invention has a larger range of expansion and contraction deformation and better compression flexibility, providing a better feel when manually rotating the outer ring 2 of the knob.

Preferably, there are two spring glass beads 6, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the annular cavity 11. When a person rotates the knob, they need to apply a little force to rotate the outer ring of the knob so that the glass ball 61 of the spring glass ball 6 can slide over each crest of the outer corrugation and feel the process of the glass ball 61 sliding over each crest and trough of the outer corrugation. When the person stops rotating the knob, under the action of the first spring 62, the glass ball 61 will stay in the trough of the outer corrugation, so that the annular rotating part and the outer ring of the knob stop moving.

When a person presses the glass cover of the smart knob, all components except the fixing component will descend as a whole, and the upper end of the fixing component will press the function button.
