The inner casing has multiple points evenly distributed therein; one of these points is a blank stop position, and the remaining points are provided with protruding elastic contacts. The rotating column has four contact layers from top to bottom; each contact layer has a recessed groove contact for contacting the elastic contacts. The uppermost contact layer has one groove contact, and the number of groove contacts on the lowermost contact layer is the same as the number of elastic contacts. The sum of the number of groove contacts in the middle two layers is equal to the number of elastic contacts.

[0005] Furthermore, grooves are provided between adjacent contact layers, and an elastic locking rod is movably connected inside the outer sleeve, located below the elastic contact, for engaging with the grooves.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating column has a cavity inside, and a fixed shaft is located inside the cavity. The top of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to an elastic contact for contacting the groove contact point.

[0007] Furthermore, the flexible contact is connected to one end of a lead wire, and the other end of the lead wire is located under the outer casing.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column.

[0009] This invention features four contact layers, allowing switching between them to control a single actuator, several actuators, or all actuators individually, thus enabling its use in various application scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a switch rotation device is provided, including an outer sleeve 2 and a rotating column 1 movably connected inside the outer sleeve 2. The inner sleeve 2 has 12 points evenly distributed inside it; one of these points is a blank stop position 9, and the remaining points are provided with protruding elastic contacts 3. The inner sleeve 2 has a mounting groove, and the elastic contacts 3 are movably connected in the mounting groove. The rotating column 1 has four layers of contact from top to bottom; each contact layer has a recessed groove contact 4 for contacting the elastic contacts 3. The uppermost contact layer has one groove contact 4, and the number of groove contacts 4 on the lowermost contact layer is the same as the number of elastic contacts 3. The middle two layers have five and six groove contacts 4 respectively. The groove contacts 4 of the middle two layers are staggered and used to control different actuators.

[0018] A groove 5 is provided between adjacent contact layers. An elastic locking rod 6 is movably connected inside the outer jacket 2 at a position below the elastic contact 3 for engaging with the groove 5. A locking groove is provided inside the outer jacket 2, and the elastic locking rod 6 is movably connected inside the locking groove.

[0019] The rotating column 1 has a cavity 101 inside, and a fixed shaft 7 is provided inside the cavity 101. The top of the fixed shaft 7 is fixedly connected to an elastic contact 11 for contacting the groove contact 4.

[0020] The flexible contact 3 is connected to one end of the lead wire 8, and the other end of the lead wire 8 is located below the outer casing 2; the lead wire 8 is used to electrically connect with different actuators, thereby controlling the action of the actuators.

[0021] A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 1; the handle makes it easy to hold.
