[0027] 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.
[0028] Example
[0029] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rotary switch structure for a remote control includes a base 1 and a rotary switch body mounted on the base. The rotary switch body includes a support 2, an annular rotating shaft 3, a circular circuit board 4, an internal toothed rotating ring 5, a limiting disc 6, a knob cap 7, and several toggle switches 8. In this embodiment, the base is mainly used to support the entire structure for easy installation and use, while the support is used to install other structures and batteries to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the overall structure. The outer side of the internal toothed rotating ring matches the inner diameter of the annular rotating shaft. After the two are assembled, the annular rotating shaft can drive the toothed rotating ring to rotate together. The toggle switches and the circular circuit board are conventional structures in the prior art, simply applied. They bounce when the internal toothed rotating ring rotates in the forward or reverse direction.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two toggle switches, which are respectively located at both ends of the diameter of the circular circuit board.
[0031] In this embodiment, the support has a limiting protrusion 9 on its front side; it is mainly used to support and limit the annular rotating shaft to ensure its rotation effectiveness. During assembly, the annular rotating shaft is sleeved on the limiting protrusion. The inner toothed rotating ring is set on the outer ring of the annular rotating shaft. The circular circuit board and the limiting disc are located in the inner ring of the annular rotation and are fixed to the support by screws. The back of the circular circuit board abuts against the surface of the limiting protrusion. At the same time, the toggle switch is fixed on the edge of the circular circuit board, and the toggle switch moves and abuts against the tooth groove of the inner toothed rotating ring. In use, the knob cap is connected to the annular rotating shaft. The knob cap drives the annular rotating shaft and the inner toothed rotating ring to rotate, and the toggle switch moves between the tooth grooves of the inner toothed knob ring.
[0032] In this embodiment, a power supply battery 10 is disposed inside the support, and the circular circuit board is connected to the power supply battery. Several magnetic posts 11 are embedded along the edge of the support; a back cover 12 is disposed on the back of the support, and a magnet block 13 is fixed inside the back cover; during assembly, the back cover is attached to the back of the support and positioned by magnetic attraction between the magnetic posts and the magnet block. The back cover can be quickly opened, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the power supply battery, etc.
[0033] In this embodiment, an annular groove 14 is provided between the limiting protrusion and the edge of the support, and the end of the annular rotating shaft is limited within the annular groove. Simultaneously, the height of the limiting protrusion is less than the height of the annular rotating shaft. Through this structure, the annular rotating shaft can be limited, ensuring its effective rotation and preventing loosening or detachment.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a display screen 15 is provided on the outer side of the limiting disc, and the display screen is connected to the circular circuit board. The display can be adjusted by the position of the toggle switch. In practical applications, adjacent teeth on the inner toothed rotating ring represent the same brightness or illuminance, and the inner toothed rotating ring divides the brightness or illuminance into 0-100, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of control and meeting the adjustment needs of different situations.
[0035] In this embodiment, a limiting step is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the annular rotating shaft, the back edge of the circular circuit board is on the limiting step, and the circular circuit board is located between the limiting disk and the limiting step. This allows for installation limiting of the circular circuit board and the internal toothed rotating ring, ensuring installation accuracy.
[0036] In this embodiment, a charging terminal 16 is fixed to the back of the circular circuit board, and a terminal hole is provided on the support. This facilitates charging or data connection.
[0037] This invention has the following advantages: The structure is rationally designed, incorporating a ring-shaped rotating shaft, a circular circuit board, an internal toothed rotating ring, and a toggle switch. During use, the ring-shaped shaft rotates, driving the internal toothed rotating ring to rotate. The toggle switch on the circular circuit board moves between adjacent tooth slots as the internal toothed rotating ring rotates, allowing for adjustment and control of different brightness and illuminance levels. This improves control precision and allows for the recording of toggle switch movements, facilitating operator judgment and control. The invention is stable, reliable, and highly adaptable.
[0038] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the instruction manual can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
