[0002] In the field of electronic equipment, potentiometers are a commonly used electronic component, widely applied in various circuit adjustments. However, traditional potentiometers often present some problems during use. Firstly, potentiometers are susceptible to dust. Due to a lack of effective dust prevention measures, dust can easily enter the potentiometer, affecting circuit conductivity and leading to performance degradation or even damage. Secondly, their ease of operation and accuracy need improvement. With existing potentiometers, users often find it difficult to accurately determine the degree of adjustment, making operation inconvenient.

Simultaneously, the elastic plate in the connecting mechanism provides elastic support and contact for the knob mechanism, generating segmented vibrations while fixing the knob mechanism's position. This facilitates accurate potentiometer adjustment by the user, improving operational convenience and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0022] Working principle:

[0023] In use, the sealing ring 61 and the shielding plate 62 of the dustproof mechanism 6 are located at the bottom of the potentiometer, shielding the bottom of the potentiometer. The connecting block 63 is inserted into the outer wall of the bottom of the support frame 21 through the insertion hole 64, thereby fixing the position of the shielding plate 62 and the sealing ring 61, thus playing a dustproof role. It shields the gap at the bottom of the potentiometer, preventing dust from entering the potentiometer and thus preventing it from affecting the conductivity of the circuit. The sealing ring 61 ensures the sealing of the connection at the bottom of the potentiometer, and the shielding plate 62 can effectively block dust. Since the top of the potentiometer is blocked by the connecting mechanism 2 and the knob mechanism 5, the entire device has a compact structure, is easy to operate, and has a dustproof effect, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the potentiometer.

[0024] The plug-in housing 1 provides external protection and a connection base for the entire potentiometer. The support frame 21 of the connection mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the symmetrical connection plate 3 and the connecting plate 4 through the connecting groove 22 to ensure the stability of the circuit connection. The mounting protrusion 23 is used to fix the position of the internal symmetrical connection plate 3. In use, the support frame 21 provides a certain elastic support and contact for the knob mechanism 5 through the fixed elastic sheet 24. The arc-shaped protrusion in the middle of the elastic sheet 24 extends downward and fits between the protrusions of the positioning protrusion ring 54. In addition to fixing the position of the knob mechanism 5, it also allows the user to clearly feel the segmented vibration when rotating, which is convenient for adjusting the potentiometer. The torsion groove 52 on the top of the rotating column 51 of the knob mechanism 5 facilitates the user's rotation operation. When the rotating column 51 rotates, it will drive the positioning protrusion ring 54 at the bottom to rotate on the inner side wall of the support frame 21 through the connecting square hole 53, thereby driving the resistor 55 to slide on the symmetrical connection plate 3 and the connecting plate 4, thereby changing the resistance value of the connected circuit and realizing the adjustment of the circuit parameters.
