Abstract

The invention provides a knob structure which is applied to an operation touch control unit and comprises a knob seat, a linking unit which is freely and rotatablely arranged on the knob seat, and a knob body which is arranged on the knob seat and covers the linking unit. The knob seat is provided with at least a position limit part which is arranged on the internal wall and precisely matched with the knob body; therefore, the knob structure avoids that the knob body and the knob seat extrude each other, thus solving the problem in the prior art that the knob body rotates in a non-fluency way and has structural friction.

Description

Knob structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of knob structure, more detailed it, relate to a kind of knob structure that is applied to electronic installation.
Background technology
Electronic technology is maked rapid progress at present, various other electronic installations such as for example computer, server etc. are sold on market like the mushrooms after rain, the structural design that adds electronic installation is more and more accurate with in response to multi-functional demand, therefore how effectively carrying out the electronic installation inner space utilizes, meet most economic benefit to reach, become the problem of present industry institute concern, also therefore made the juncture phase shape of each assembly on the various electronic installation seem important.
Existing various electronic installations all are provided with pushbutton unit, carry out work in order to control this electronic installation.For instance, computer is provided with power knob, in order to the function of mains switch to be provided; Or mobile phone is provided with keyboard button, in order to the function that dialing is provided and selects; Also or the button on the remote controller of some household appliances (for example TV, air-conditioning equipment and washing machine or the like), can carry out operations in order to control various household electrical appliances.
Therefore, button is widely used in the middle of the daily life, and can adopt various multi-form buttons to operate accordingly.Touch control unit with the adjusting volume is an example, and being generally increases the flexibility that volume is regulated, and this touch control unit can be designed to the knob structure, thereby the user is by rotating the volume that this knob is the scalable electronic installation.
See also Fig. 1, it shows the three-dimensional exploded view of existing knob, and wherein, this knob system is installed on the casing of electronic apparatus (diagram), uses for operation touch control unit (diagram).As shown in Figure 1, this knob system comprises knob base 30, is located in this knob base 30 for the interlock unit 32 of this touch control unit of control and is located in this knob base 30 and is covered with the knob body 34 of this interlock unit 32.Wherein, this knob base 30 is the discoid of concave surface, and the casing that the fixed part 302 by its edge snaps in this electronic installation fixedly mounts, and this knob base 30 has on the bottom surface ribs 304 that should interlock unit 32, an and knob mesopore 300.
This interlock unit 32 is located on this knob base 30 and is connected this touch control unit (figure does not show), and it has a plurality of location holes 320; This knob body 34 is for being the disk of ㄇ font section, be used to be covered with this interlock unit 32, and have a plurality of to reference column 342 that should location hole 320, and one expose to the knob outer surface 340 that this casing is pushed for the user and rotated, more preferably, this knob outer surface 340 is made of plated metal, also has a forced section 341.This reference column 342 embeds this location hole 320 to connect this interlock unit 32 and knob body 34; When operation, the user forces in this forced section 341 and rotates this knob body 34, to drive these interlock unit 32 rotations and corresponding this touch control unit that drives, makes this touch control unit be regulated volume.
But; in prior art; be protection knob body 34; plated metal is to constitute this knob outer surface 340 on knob body 34; for avoiding knob outer surface 340 and knob base 30 frictions; therefore; leave a gap between the knob body 34 of this knob and this knob base 30; but when these knob body 34 relative these knob bases 30 rotate; because of of the distal portions then corresponding perk of its forced section 341 those ends, cause the integral body of this knob body 34 to produce beat because of the relative forced section 341 of stressed roof pressure downwards.So, the sidewall of the knob outer surface 340 of this knob body 34 can produce extrusion friction with the wall of this knob base 30, not only can cause the rotation of this knob base 30 not smooth, also can damage the metal of this knob outer surface 34 simultaneously, and influence its useful life.
Therefore, how to develop a kind of knob structure that is solved the various shortcomings of above-mentioned prior art, use simple structure and avoid knob smooth and influence the problem in useful life, real in desiring most ardently the problem of solution at present.
Summary of the invention
In view of the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of rotation knob structure smoothly.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of knob structure, to improve useful life.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of knob structure simple in structure.
For reaching above-mentioned and other relevant purpose, the invention provides a kind of knob structure, it is applied on the casing of an electronic installation and for the operation touch control unit, it comprises: be located on this casing and have knob base to knob mesopore that should touch control unit in the bottom, turn is located on this knob base and the local interlock unit that wears this knob mesopore freely, and be located on this knob base knob body for this interlock unit of cover cap, this knob base also has at least one limiting section, this limiting section is located at the inwall of this knob base and this knob body of precision-fit, to limit the beat of this knob body, prevent mutual extrusion between this knob base and this knob body thus and cause the not smooth situation of knob to take place.
In the above-mentioned knob structure, this limiting section for example is a rib, but not as limit, it also can be for example pad.In an embodiment, be that a plurality of these limiting sections are set, wherein, this limiting section is arranged at intervals at the inner wall edge of this knob base.Certainly, also can select this limiting section only is set, this limiting section for example is located on the inner wall edge of this knob base; At this moment, this limiting section may be selected to be bulge loop.
This knob base is the disk of ㄩ font section, and it also has the edge of being located at this knob base and for the fixed part that connects this casing and be located at the bottom surface of this knob base and to ribs that should the interlock unit; This interlock unit has the knob mesopore that wears this knob base and supplies to be sticked in holding section, a plurality of location hole of this knob base and can pass the linkage part of the knob mesopore of this knob base for this touch control unit of interlock; This knob body has can be for pushing and the knob outer surface that rotates, and to a plurality of reference columns of location hole that should the interlock unit, this knob outer surface has the coating of forced section and this limiting section of precision-fit.In an embodiment, this knob body series is the disk of ㄇ font section, and respectively this reference column embeds and is heat-fused in corresponding respectively this location hole, and this knob body and this interlock unit are mutually combined.
Knob structure of the present invention is by being located at a plurality of limiting sections on the knob base at edge that should the knob body, when this knob body rotates when driving this interlock unit, can avoid this knob body beat in the prior art, thereby the knob that the sidewall mutual extrusion that makes this knob base inwall and this knob body is caused is not smooth, therefore effectively improves the useful life of knob yet.
