[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

Moreover, this application should be understood not only through the actual terms used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of this application will be described based on the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments shown below are examples of a damped rotating component used to embody the technical concept of this application, and the damped rotating component of this application is not specifically defined as follows.

[0028] During the actual research and development process, the inventors of this application discovered that damping sensation is of great significance for rotating components: on the one hand, damping sensation greatly affects the operator's interactive experience when using the rotating component. On the other hand, damping sensation can provide users with clear operational feedback, enabling operators to control the equipment more precisely. Furthermore, a reasonable damping design can resist external interference to a certain extent, preventing the rotating component from rotating easily; it will only rotate when the user applies sufficient force, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment. Therefore, this application addresses the problem of the lack of damping sensation in current rotating components by proposing a rotating component with damping sensation.

[0029] The damped rotating component of this application is not limited to its use in various handheld or desktop devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, and can be applied in multiple application scenarios such as industrial automation, robotics, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and consumer electronics.

[0030] Figure 1 An exploded view of the structure of a rotating assembly according to an embodiment of this application is shown. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the damped rotating assembly 100 of this embodiment includes: a main body 110, a rotating component, and a telescopic component 130. The main body 110 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 disposed opposite to each other. The telescopic component 130 is embedded in the second surface 112 of the main body 110, with the second surface 112 facing the rotating component. The rotating component includes a rotating part 122 disposed on the second surface 112. The rotating part 122 is rotatably disposed relative to the main body 110, and the rotating part 122 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 122a (displayed on...). Figure 3 (in the middle); wherein, when the rotating part 122 rotates, the telescopic member 130 is used to extend into the limiting groove 122a to generate resistance.

[0031] The rotating component 100 provided in this application has a rotating part 122 provided on the second surface 112 of the main body 110, and the rotating part 122 is rotatably provided relative to the main body 110, so that the rotating component can rotate relative to the main body 110; by embedding the telescopic component 130 in the second surface 112 of the main body 110, and providing a plurality of limiting grooves 122a in the rotating part 122, when the rotating part 122 rotates, the telescopic component 130 extends into the limiting grooves 122a to generate resistance, so that the operator can feel the damping when rotating.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body 110 is a rectangular component. It should be understood that... Figure 1 The shape and size of the body 110 are for illustrative purposes only. In some embodiments, the first surface 111 of the body is used to contact and receive a device, i.e., to connect with the device to be used. The shape and size of the body 110 are set according to the actual device to be operated. In some embodiments, the device may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or some other desktop or handheld device.

[0033] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A perspective view of the rotating component in the illustrated embodiment. Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the rotating assembly along the DD direction in the illustrated embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second surface 112 of the main body 110 has a plurality of holes 113. The telescopic member 130 can be fitted into the holes 113, thereby fitting into the second surface 112 of the main body 110.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating component further includes a fastening portion 121, which is disposed on the first surface 111 of the main body 110. The main body 110 has a through hole 114, and the rotating portion 122 includes a protrusion 122b. In the formed rotating assembly, the protrusion 122b passes through the through hole 114, and the protrusion 122b is fixedly connected to the fastening portion 121.

[0035] In some embodiments, the protrusion 122b and the fastener 121 are fixedly connected by a riveting connection.

[0036] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the fastening portion 121 has a ring-shaped structure and is also referred to as a rotating bowl. The rotating portion 122 can be made of metal. The protrusion 122b is connected to the fastening portion 121 by a riveting connection, allowing the rotating portion 122 to rotate relative to the main body 110. When the rotating portion 122 rotates relative to the main body 110, the protrusion 122a and the fastening portion 121 simultaneously rotate relative to the main body 110.

[0037] In some embodiments, the protrusion 122b and the fastener 121 are fixedly connected by common connection methods such as bolt connection.

[0038] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the rotating part of the rotating assembly in the illustrated embodiment. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 and 4 As shown, several limiting grooves 122a are provided on the side of the rotating part 122 facing the second surface 112. Figure 4 The limiting grooves 122a shown are evenly distributed. In some embodiments, the specific number and distribution of the limiting grooves 122a can be set according to the rotation level requirements. By setting multiple limiting grooves 122a, multiple rotation levels can be achieved.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting groove 122a has a certain depth, and its outer frame is square. It can be understood that when the telescopic member 130 leaves the limiting groove 122a, the setting of the limiting groove 122a having a certain depth can generate a certain resistance to the telescopic member 130.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the top end 131 of the telescopic member 130 is spherical, protruding from the second surface 112 of the main body 110. When the operator rotates the rotating member 120 to a certain position, the protruding top end 131 of the telescopic member 130 enters the limiting groove 122a. At this time, the limiting groove 122a will generate resistance, and the operator will feel a damping sensation. When the operator continues to rotate the rotating member 120, the spherical structure of the top end 131 of the telescopic member 130 allows the telescopic member 130 to leave the limiting groove 122a more easily. In some embodiments, the interior of the limiting groove 122a can be arc-shaped, making it easier for the telescopic member 130 to leave the limiting groove 122a.

[0041] In some embodiments, the shape, size, and depth of the limiting groove 122a are set according to the size and shape of the telescopic member 130 to generate appropriate resistance and provide the operator with a damping sensation.

[0042] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 130 also includes a spring. It is understood that during rotation, the telescopic member 130 moves from outside the limiting groove 122a into the limiting groove 122a. During this process, the telescopic member 130 needs to undergo a length expansion or contraction. By providing a spring, the length of the telescopic member 130 can be changed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 130 includes a top ball. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the shape of the telescopic component is a sphere, it appears as a circle in the sectional view.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shape of the telescopic member 130 includes other shapes besides a sphere, which are reasonably set according to the distance between the main body 110 and the rotating part 122. For example, the telescopic member 130 can be a telescopic column with a spherical top surface, and the length of the column is adapted to the depth of the hole 113 and the depth of the limiting groove 122a.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 100 further includes a base 140, which includes a third surface 141 and a fourth surface 142 disposed opposite to each other. The rotating part 122 is embedded in the third surface 141 of the base 140, and the third surface 141 faces the main body 110.

[0046] By setting up a base 140 and connecting the base 140 and the rotating part 122, the large area of ​​the base 140 makes it easier for the operator to operate the rotating component 100.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 100 also includes a hand strap 150 disposed on the fourth surface 142 of the base 140.

[0048] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A perspective view of the rotating component in the illustrated embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the wristband 150 also has several screw holes 151, and correspondingly, the base 140 is also provided with corresponding screw holes. The wristband 150 can be mounted on the base 140 by screws.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a cavity 145 is provided between the base 140 and the hand strap 150, which provides a certain gripping and operating space for the operator. According to these embodiments, when using the rotating assembly, the operator can insert their fingers into the cavity 145 to grasp the hand strap 150 and rotate it. At this time, the hand strap 150 drives the base 140 and the rotating component 120 to rotate relative to the main body 110. When the limiting groove 122a of the rotating part 122 contacts the top end 131 of the telescopic member 130 on the main body 110, the rotating assembly 100 emits a crisp click sound and provides the operator with a damping sensation due to the resistance. As the operator continues to rotate, the position of the limiting groove 122a relative to the telescopic member 130 changes, and the telescopic member 130 moves away from the limiting groove 122a. At this time, the rotating assembly also provides the operator with a damping sensation due to the resistance.

[0050] In some embodiments, the material of the wristband 150 includes a flexible material suitable for contact with the hand, such as polyester fiber. The wristband 150 may, for example, be a braided band made of polyester fiber.

[0051] In some embodiments, the rotating part 122 is made of metal. In embodiments including a base 140, the rotating part 122 may be a hardware embedded in the third surface 141 of the base 140. In these embodiments, the fastening part 121 may also be made of metal, and the fastening part 121 and the rotating part 122 are connected by riveting.

[0052] In some embodiments, the base 140 is made of a non-metallic material, and the rotating part 122 and the base 150 are configured to be connected by injection molding.

[0053] In some embodiments, the base 140, the hand strap 150, and the rotating part 122 are assembled as a single unit at the factory so as to facilitate direct connection with the main body 110 and the fastening part 121 later.

[0054] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 130 is made of metal. When the metal telescopic member 130 contacts the limiting groove 122a of the metal rotating part 122, it produces a crisp contact sound. This sound, combined with the damping sensation, provides the operator with a better interactive experience. Furthermore, the friction between the metal telescopic member 130 and the limiting groove 122a is low, allowing the telescopic member 130 to easily disengage from the limiting groove 122a so that the operator can continue rotating.

[0055] In some embodiments, the material of the body 110 includes non-metallic materials, and the telescopic member 130 is configured to be embedded in the second surface 112 of the body 110 by injection molding.

[0056] In some embodiments, since the telescopic member 130 is made of metal and the main body 110 is made of non-metallic material, the telescopic member 130 is injection molded into the hole 113 on the second surface 112 of the main body 110. In some embodiments, the telescopic member and the main body are injection molded together before leaving the factory, which simplifies the assembly process.

[0057] In some embodiments, non-metallic materials include plastics, polycarbonate (PC), etc. Using non-metallic materials for the main body 110 and the base 140 can significantly reduce the weight and manufacturing cost of the rotating assembly 100. Furthermore, when the rotating part 122 rotates relative to the main body 110, the friction between the non-metallic material such as PC made of the main body 110 and the protrusions 122a and fastening parts 121 is reduced, ensuring a certain degree of smoothness in the rotation of the rotating assembly 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the base 140 is made of metal.

[0059] Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the structure of a rotating assembly 200 according to another embodiment of this application. When the base 140 is made of metal, the structure of the rotating assembly 200 can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the rotating assembly 200 includes a main body 610, a rotating component, and a telescopic component 630. The main body 610 includes a first surface 611 and a second surface 612 disposed opposite to each other. The telescopic component 630 is embedded in the second surface 612 of the main body 610, with the second surface 612 facing the rotating component. The rotating component includes a rotating part 622. Figure 6 The rotating part 622 in the rotating component shown is Figure 1 The base 140 of the illustrated embodiment. The rotating part 622 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves (not shown in the figure). That is, Figure 6 The embodiment shown has a limiting groove set in Figure 1 On the base 140 in the illustrated embodiment. When the rotating part 622 ( Figure 1 When the base 140 rotates, the telescopic member 630 extends into the limiting groove to generate resistance.

[0060] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 200 further includes a fastening part 621 disposed on the first surface, and a through hole 613 disposed on the main body 610; the rotating part 622 includes a protrusion 622a, the protrusion 622a passing through the through hole 613 of the main body 610, and the protrusion 622a and the fastening part 621 are configured to be fixedly connected by riveting.

[0061] In some embodiments, the fastening part 621 may also be provided on the second surface of the main body 610, and the main body 610 does not have a through hole 613. For example, the fastening part 621 is welded to the second surface of the main body 610, and the fastening part 621 and the rotating part 622 are configured as a rotatable bearing connection.

[0062] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, by setting the component equivalent to the base 140 as the rotating part 622, and directly opening a limiting groove on the side of the rotating part 622 facing the column 610, the requirement for... Figure 1 The rotating part 122 in the middle makes the structure of the rotating assembly 100 simpler.

[0063] This application provides a rotating component with damping feedback. By setting a rotating part that is rotatably arranged relative to the main body, the rotating component can rotate relative to the main body. By embedding a telescopic component in the second surface of the main body and setting several limiting grooves in the rotating part, the telescopic component extends into the limiting grooves to generate resistance when the rotating part rotates, so that the operator can hear a sound and feel the damping feedback when rotating, thus improving the interactive experience. At the same time, it can also obtain operational feedback, improving the stability and reliability of the device. By using non-metallic materials for the main body and the base, the manufacturing cost of the rotating component can be significantly reduced.
