Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button technology, and more specifically, to a magnetically adjustable button. Background Technology

[0002] A button is an accessory used to connect or secure clothing, shoes, hats, bags, and other items. It typically consists of two parts: the button itself and the buttonhole. By inserting the button into the buttonhole or using other connection methods (such as magnetic snaps or snap fasteners), clothing can be opened or closed or secured. Buttons are not only functional accessories but also widely used in decoration and design, becoming an important element of fashion and personal expression.

[0003] For example, a button disclosed in patent announcement number CN222382744U features a top cover, a base, and a rotating plate. The rotating plate has patterned grooves, making the button look novel and fashionable. The side edge of the rotating plate has wheel grooves, in which rollers are fixed. A female shaft is fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate, and ball bearings are movably mounted on the female shaft. The female shaft is inserted into the male shaft of the base, and then the top cover is fastened onto the base. The rotating plate can then be rotated between the base and the top cover by flicking with a finger. As the patterned grooves rotate, the button's visual appeal is further enhanced. This type of button can be used in places where the button size is relatively large, such as coats, trench coats, and leather bags, solving the problem of the monotonous structure of existing buttons.

[0004] In the above-mentioned configuration, the rotating plate is driven to rotate by ball bearings and a female groove. However, during use, the rotating structure of the rotating plate may wear down due to friction after long-term use, resulting in uneven rotation or jamming. The connection between the top cover and the base may loosen due to frequent opening and closing, reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a more practical magnetic adjustable button.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

The upper surface of the rotating plate has a patterned groove, and the side edge of the rotating plate has a wheel groove containing a ball. A lubrication groove corresponding to the wheel groove is formed on the upper surface of the rotating plate, and graphite powder is added to the lubrication groove.

[0008] The lower end face of the rotating plate is provided with a female shaft, and a ball bearing is installed inside the female shaft. The upper end of the base is provided with a male shaft, and the female shaft and the male shaft are movably connected.

[0009] The base is equipped with four magnetic positioning plates arranged in a ring. The rotating plate is equipped with magnetic buckles that are magnetically attracted to the magnetic positioning plates.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a light-emitting module is provided inside the top cover, the light-emitting module includes an LED lamp, a control circuit and a power supply, the control circuit and the power supply are electrically connected to the LED lamp, a Hall sensor is provided on the base, a magnet is provided at the lower end of the rotating plate corresponding to the Hall sensor, and the Hall sensor is communicatively connected to the control circuit.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of mounting grooves are equidistantly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the top cover, and a slot is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove corresponding to the mounting groove; a spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, and a snap-fit ​​block is connected to the other end of the spring; the snap-fit ​​block snaps into the slot, and the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​block is a right trapezoid.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a solid lubricant is added to the contact surfaces between the ball bearing and the female and male shafts.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the outer peripheral wall of the rotating plate is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0014] Compared with the shortcomings of the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] By using ball bearings and solid lubricants, the frictional resistance between the rotating plate and the base is significantly reduced, making rotation smoother. Users can easily turn the rotating plate with less force, improving the operating experience. The anti-slip textured design makes the rotation of the plate more convenient. Furthermore, magnetic components are set on the bottom of the rotating plate and the base, so that the rotating plate automatically attaches and positions itself when it rotates to a specific angle, enhancing the user experience and preventing the rotating plate from rotating randomly. Even further, LED lights are set up, which illuminate when the rotating plate rotates, increasing the aesthetic appeal of the button. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] Working principle: During installation, first place the top cover 1 into the annular groove 4, and then make the snap-fit ​​block 18 and the snap-fit ​​groove 16 in the same position. Since the snap-fit ​​block 18 has a trapezoidal cross section and is connected to a spring 17, the spring 17 is compressed under pressure, and the snap-fit ​​block 18 retracts into the mounting groove. At this time, the top cover 1 is pressed into the annular groove 4. When the snap-fit ​​block 18 and the snap-fit ​​groove 16 are at the same horizontal height, the snap-fit ​​block 18 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 16 under the elastic force of the spring 17.

[0023] Then, the female shaft 7 is inserted into the male shaft 9, connecting the base 2 to the rotating plate 3. During use, the rotating plate 3 is rotated. During the rotation of the rotating plate, the Hall sensor 14 senses that the magnet 15 is rotating and sends a signal to the control circuit. The control circuit controls the LED light 12 to light up. Since the base 2 is provided with four magnetic positioning pieces 10 and the lower end face of the rotating plate 3 has a magnetic buckle 11, when the magnetic buckle 11 contacts the magnetic positioning piece 10, the rotating plate 3 stops rotating. At the same time, the Hall sensor 14 senses that the rotating plate 3 has stopped rotating and sends a feedback signal to the control circuit, and the LED light 12 stops lighting up.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown,

[0025] The device includes a top cover 1, a base 2, and a rotating plate 3. The top cover 1 is fastened to the base 2. The base 2 has an annular groove 4 for installing the top cover 1. The outer circumferential wall of the top cover 1 has several mounting grooves at equal intervals. The inner wall of the annular groove 4 has a slot 16 corresponding to the mounting groove. A spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove. The other end of the spring 17 is connected to a snap-fit ​​block 18. The snap-fit ​​block 18 snaps into the slot 16. The cross-section of the snap-fit ​​block 18 is a right trapezoid, which facilitates the installation or removal of the top cover 1.

[0026] The top cover 1 is equipped with a light-emitting module, which includes an LED light 12, a control circuit and a power supply 13. The control circuit and the power supply 13 are electrically connected to the LED light 12. The base 2 is equipped with a Hall sensor 14. The lower end of the rotating plate 3 is equipped with a magnet 15 corresponding to the Hall sensor 14.

[0027] The rotating plate 3 is placed between the top cover 1 and the base 2. The upper surface of the rotating plate 3 is provided with a patterned groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating plate 3 is provided with anti-slip texture. The patterned groove increases the aesthetics, and the anti-slip texture makes it easy for users to rotate with their fingers.

[0028] The rotating plate 3 has a wheel groove on its side edge, and a ball bearing 5 is provided in the wheel groove. The upper end of the rotating plate 3 has a lubrication groove 6 that communicates with the wheel groove. Graphite powder is added to the lubrication groove 6. The graphite powder can reduce the friction between the ball bearing 5 and the base 2 and extend the service life of the ball bearing 5.

[0029] The lower end face of the rotating plate 3 is provided with a female shaft 7, and a ball bearing 8 is provided inside the female shaft 7. The upper end of the base 2 is provided with a male shaft 9. The female shaft 7 and the male shaft 9 are movably connected. Solid lubricant is added to the contact surface between the ball bearing 8 and the female shaft 7 and the male shaft 9, which can save effort and reduce friction on the ball bearing 8.

[0030] The base 2 is provided with magnetic positioning pieces 10. There are four magnetic positioning pieces 10 arranged in a ring. The rotating plate 3 is provided with magnetic buckles 11. The magnetic buckles 11 and the magnetic positioning pieces 10 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the rotating plate 3 can automatically be attracted and positioned when it is rotated to a specific angle, which enhances the user experience and prevents the rotating plate 3 from rotating randomly.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
