[0002] With the rapid development of automotive intelligence and connectivity, consumers are increasingly demanding higher standards for in-car human-machine interaction experiences. Driven by the pursuit of more convenient and intuitive operation methods, the rotary knob structure of intelligent in-vehicle buttons has emerged.

[0003] Currently, most smart in-vehicle button knobs in existing technologies are single-press or single-dimensional rotations, with limited functional triggering methods. This makes it difficult to achieve complex operations with this knob structure, and it cannot efficiently meet the multi-functional and multi-level control requirements of in-vehicle systems. The operation is inflexible, the internal structure is simple, and there is a lack of precise mechanical coordination. With long-term use, internal contacts are prone to wear and loosening due to pressing and tossing, resulting in poor contact and functional failure. The stability and durability are far inferior to the smart knob structure. It is also difficult to integrate with the vehicle panel and internal circuitry. After installation, it is prone to displacement and loosening due to vehicle vibration, affecting functionality. Furthermore, it is difficult to adapt to the complex circuit layout and space requirements of modern smart vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of existing technologies, which mostly involve single pressing or single-dimensional rotation, have limited functional triggering methods, make it difficult to achieve compound operation of the knob structure, fail to efficiently meet the multi-functional and multi-level control requirements of vehicle systems, have poor operational flexibility, have simple internal structures, lack a precise mechanical coordination system, and are prone to problems such as wear of internal contacts and loosening of components due to pressing and tossing after long-term use, resulting in poor contact and functional failure. Their stability and durability are far inferior to the intelligent knob structure, and they are difficult to integrate with the vehicle panel and internal circuitry. After installation, they are prone to displacement and loosening due to vehicle vibration, affecting functionality. Furthermore, they are difficult to adapt to the complex circuit layout and space requirements of modern intelligent vehicles. Therefore, this invention proposes a knob structure for intelligent vehicle buttons.

The inner baffle 3 of the base 1 supports the first support plate 5. The first support plate 5 is horizontally limited by a limiting groove 6 and a screw sleeve 4 on the baffle 3. The top of the screw sleeve 4 connects to the second support plate 7, constructing a stable internal support system. The main knob 9 and the top cover 2 are connected by a rotating plate 10 and a rotating cavity 1. The rotating mechanism, along with the structural compatibility of the connecting column 18 with the main knob 9 and the top cover 2, ensures the stability of the overall structure under frequent operation from the inside out, reducing the risk of loosening. Each component is securely installed through precise mechanical structural cooperation, making it less prone to loosening or displacement during use, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the knob. The trigger component 8 is installed between the first support plate 5 and the second support plate 7. The rotation and pressing actions of the main knob 9 and the auxiliary knob 17 are transmitted through the connecting column 18 and other structures, precisely acting on the trigger component 8. Due to the precise cooperation of the mechanical structure, such as the engagement of the first locking block 15 and the second locking block 20 to transmit torque, and the guiding structure to ensure the direction of movement, the operation and function triggering correspond one-to-one, improving control accuracy.
