Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a knob and a sound card. Background Technology

[0002] A sound card is a key device responsible for audio signal conversion and enhancement. With the development of network technology and the entertainment industry, external sound cards can work with users' mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.), and users can adjust the sound effects through various controls on the sound card.

[0003] As sound cards become increasingly smaller, the space for buttons, knobs, and other controls on them decreases accordingly, making it difficult to arrange these controls efficiently. For example, too many controls on the sound card create a cluttered look, while reducing the number of controls requires sacrificing some sound effect adjustment functions, hindering users from making precise sound effect adjustments. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned existing situation, this application provides a knob and a sound card, which can improve the problem of unreasonable control settings in the miniaturization of sound cards.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and repeated descriptions are omitted. Furthermore, the drawings are merely schematic diagrams, and the proportions of the components or their shapes may differ from actual dimensions. It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0024] It should also be noted that when a component is described as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is described as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0025] As sound cards become increasingly smaller, the space for buttons, knobs, and other controls on them decreases accordingly, making it difficult to arrange these controls efficiently. For example, too many controls on the sound card create a cluttered look, while reducing the number of controls requires sacrificing some sound effect adjustment functions, hindering users from making precise sound effect adjustments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a knob 1, which includes a female knob 2 and a female knob 3. The female knob 2 has a groove, and the female knob 3 is located within the groove, with the female knob 2 surrounding the female knob 3. With this structure, the knob 1 of this application is compact and occupies little space. When applied to a sound card 100, this knob 1 is better suited to the miniaturized design of the sound card 100, without needing to reduce the number of controls to achieve miniaturization, allowing the sound card 100 to still have rich adjustment functions. Furthermore, the miniaturized sound card 100 also reduces manufacturing costs and makes the overall sound card 100 smaller and more portable.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, a receiving space 4 is provided between the periphery of the sub-knob 3 and the female knob 2. Specifically, this receiving space 4 is large enough to accommodate the fingertip of a human finger, allowing the user to insert their finger into the receiving space 4 for better rotation of the sub-knob 3. The size of the receiving space 4 can be set to be sufficient for the finger to be inserted. In addition, the providing space 4 also creates a gap between the sub-knob 3 and the female knob 2, preventing friction between them and extending the service life of the knob 1.

[0028] In some embodiments, the sub-knob 3 and the female knob 2 are arranged concentrically. It is understood that in this embodiment, the sub-knob 3 is located in the center of the groove. Therefore, in any direction, the periphery of the sub-knob 3 has an equal distance from the female knob 2, further preventing friction between the sub-knob 3 and the female knob 2 and extending the service life of the knob 1.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the female knob 2 has a first inclined surface 21 on the side facing the male knob 3, and the first inclined surface 21 is inclined toward the male knob 3. As a result, the groove of the female knob 2 can have a funnel-shaped structure, thereby increasing the accommodating space 4 between the male knob 3 and the female knob 2, making it easier for the user to insert their finger to rotate the male knob 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the female knob 2 has a second inclined surface 22 on the side opposite to the female knob 3, and the second inclined surface 22 is inclined in the direction opposite to the female knob 3. Therefore, the structure of the female knob 2 can be smaller and thinner. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 In a side view, the outer contour of the female knob 2 can be close to a trapezoidal structure.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sub-knob 3 protrudes from the female knob 2. This allows the user to more easily access and rotate the sub-knob 3 for adjustment.

[0032] In some embodiments, the female knob 2 is provided with an indicator 23. The indicator 23 can prompt the user about the current adjustment amount.

[0033] In some examples, the sub-knob 3 can also be equipped with an indicator 23.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 This application also provides a sound card 100, including the knob 1 as described above. The female knob 2 can be used to adjust the input, and the female knob 3 can be used to adjust the output.

[0035] Specifically, knob 1 is located on one side of sound card 100 and protrudes from the housing of sound card 100. The housing may have scale lines that surround knob 1. Thus, by rotating knob 1, the user can determine the current control value by viewing the scale value indicated by indicator 23.

[0036] Understandably, in some examples, the scale lines on the housing include a first scale line and a second scale line, and the scale lines are distributed in concentric circles. The first scale line corresponds to the control amount of the female knob 2, and the user can determine the current adjustment amount of the female knob 2 by observing the first scale line. The second scale line corresponds to the control amount of the female knob 3, and the user can determine the current adjustment amount of the female knob 3 by observing the second scale line.

[0037] In some embodiments, the indicator 23 is recessed towards the interior of the female knob 2. This allows the user to determine the position of the indicator 23 by touch. Specifically, in some usage scenarios where the user needs to carefully view the tablet or mobile phone screen, the recessed indicator 23 allows the user to perform blind operation while viewing the tablet or mobile phone screen, enabling quick adjustment of sound effects without being distracted by checking the sound card 100.

[0038] In other embodiments, the indicator 23 protrudes from the surface of the female knob 2. Thus, the user can determine the position of the indicator 23 by touch.

[0039] In some embodiments, the surface of the female knob 2 and / or the surface of the female knob 3 are provided with anti-slip texture.

[0040] The surface of the female knob 2 and / or the surface of the female knob 3 are provided with anti-slip textures. This design significantly improves the user's grip and control precision during operation. The anti-slip textures increase the friction between the fingers and the surface of the female knob 2 and / or the surface of the female knob 3, allowing the user to rotate the knob 1 more stably, preventing slippage and improving control precision.

[0041] In summary, the knob 1 involved in this application has a compact structure and occupies little space. When applied to the sound card 100, this knob 1 is better suited to the miniaturized design of the sound card 100, without requiring a reduction in the number of controls to achieve miniaturization, allowing the sound card 100 to still have rich adjustment functions. Furthermore, the miniaturized sound card 100 also reduces manufacturing costs and makes the overall sound card 100 smaller and more portable.
