Of course, in other embodiments, the inner side wall of the upper shell 11 of the housing 10 may be formed with an annular groove to accommodate the disc portion 33 and the annular portion 53. The elastic member 70 is mainly used to provide an elastic force to drive the annular portion 53 of the rotating member 50 to perform a corresponding reset after being driven by the disc portion 33.

In addition, in this embodiment, the rotor 50 of the multidirectional input device includes the disk portion 33 and the annular portion 53 that are separately provided, so that the operating element 30 indirectly drives the annular portion 53 through the disk portion 33 when being driven. At the same time, the deformation resistance of the elastic member 70 provided in the annular portion 53 when the annular portion 53 is moved by the disk portion 33 acts only on the annular portion 53, and then the frictional resistance indirectly generated to the operating element 30 by the disk portion 33. At this time, since the disc portion 33 and the ring portion 53 are circular, a certain relative rotational movement can be generated, so that the frictional resistance generated between the disc portion 33 and the operating member 30 is relatively small. Moreover, the deformation resistance generated by the elastic member 70 is indirectly applied to the operating member 30 through the disk portion 33, and the friction resistance generated between the disk portion 33 and the operating member 30 can be further weakened by the loss of the resistance during the transmission process.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in an embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 53a is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the circular ring portion 53, and the limiting groove 53a is disposed around the circular ring portion 53 in a circumferential direction; the outer circumferential surface of the disk portion 33 is provided with a stopper rib 511, and the stopper rib 511 is provided so as to surround the disk portion 33 in the circumferential direction and is fitted in the stopper groove 53 a.

It can be understood that the matching and abutting of the limiting groove 53a and the limiting rib 511 have a certain limiting effect on the circular ring part 53 and the circular disc part 33, and the possibility that the circular ring part 53 and the circular disc part 33 are separated in the up-down direction is reduced, so that the stability of limiting between the circular ring part 53 and the circular disc part 33 is ensured. In addition, the abutting area between the annular portion 53 and the disc portion 33 is increased, so that the disc portion 33 can move along with the annular portion 53 due to friction force between the disc portion 33 and the annular portion 53 when the disc portion is driven by the operating element 30. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the annular portion 53 may be configured to abut only the inner circumferential surface thereof and the outer circumferential surface of the disk portion 33.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting groove 53a penetrates through a surface of the circular ring portion 53 facing the opening portion 10 b.

It can be understood that the limiting groove 53a penetrates through the upper surface of the circular ring part 53, so that the limiting groove 53a can be machined from the upper surface of the circular ring part 53, the machining and forming complexity of the limiting groove 53a is reduced, and the convenience of forming the circular ring part 53 is improved. Moreover, such an arrangement also facilitates the installation of the two, i.e. the disk portion 33 is directly connected to the ring portion 53 from the top to the bottom. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the limiting groove 53a may not penetrate through the upper surface or the lower surface of the circular portion 53.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of the annular portion 53, the limiting rib 511, and the disk portion 33 facing the opening portion 10b are located on the same plane.

It can be understood that the upper surfaces of the ring portion 53, the limiting rib 511 and the disc portion 33 are located on the same plane, so that the upper surfaces of the ring portion 53 and the disc portion 33 are relatively flat, and can be abutted to the inner top wall of the upper shell 11 of the housing 10 for limiting. Meanwhile, the arrangement makes the shape of the disk part 33 more regular, thereby facilitating the molding manufacture of the disk part 33. Of course, in another embodiment, when the annular portion 53, the limiting rib 511 and the surface of the disk portion 33 facing the opening 10b have a height difference, the inner top wall of the upper shell 11 of the housing 10 may be correspondingly provided with areas with different heights so as to limit the annular portion 53 and the disk portion 33 to be abutted against each other. Similarly, the surfaces of the annular portion 53 and the disc portion 33 that are away from the opening 10b may be flush with each other so that the lower surfaces of the annular portion 53 and the disc portion 33 can be relatively in contact with the upper surface of the support frame 15.

Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, the disc portion 33 has a through hole 51a penetrating therethrough facing toward and away from the opening portion 10b, and an end of the operating element 30 located in the accommodating cavity 10a is inserted into the through hole 51 a.

It will be appreciated that the through-hole 51a is provided such that the mounting of the operating element 30 and the disc portion 33 can be accomplished by directly inserting the operating element 30 into the through-hole 51a, thereby facilitating the mounting between the operating element 30 and the disc portion 33. The through hole 51a may be a circular hole, so that the hole wall has uniformity at various positions to facilitate the forming process. Of course, the through hole 51a may be a square or other shaped hole, and may be specifically adapted according to the specific shape of the lower end of the operating element 30, so that the shape of the through hole 51a and the shape of the operating element 30 can be ensured to be adapted.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, a groove 51b is formed on a wall of the through hole 51a, the groove 51b penetrates through a surface of the disc portion 33 facing to and away from the opening portion 10b, a protrusion 31 is formed on the operating member 30 corresponding to the groove 51b, and the protrusion 31 is embedded in the groove 51 b.

It can be understood that, a certain limiting function is provided between the operating element 30 and the disc portion 33 by the cooperation of the protruding strips 31 and the grooves 51b, so that when the lower end of the operating element 30 and the mounting hole are both arranged in a circular shape, the operation element 30 can drive the disc portion 33 to rotate along with the rotation by the limiting function of the protruding strips 31 and the grooves 51b in the circumferential direction. The groove 51b penetrates through the surface of the disc part 33 facing to and departing from the opening part 10b, so that the lower end of the operating piece 30 can be directly inserted from top to bottom or from bottom to top after the convex strip 31 and the groove 51b are aligned, and the assembly convenience is improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the groove 51b does not extend through the surface of the disc portion 33 facing toward and away from the opening 10b, and the protrusion 31 of the operating member 30 can be elastically snapped into the groove 51 b. In addition, the number of the grooves 51b can be multiple, and the grooves are distributed around the center of the mounting hole at even intervals; the number of the convex strips 31 may be plural, and one convex strip 31 is inserted into one groove 51 b.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, a boss 513 is disposed on a surface of the disc portion 33 facing the opening 10b, and the boss 513 is disposed in a ring shape and surrounds an outer side of the through hole 51 a.

It can be understood that the arrangement of the boss 513 increases the contact area between the operating member 30 and the disk portion 33, which is beneficial to improving the stability of assembly between the operating member 30 and the disk portion 33, thereby further ensuring that the operating member 30 can drive the disk portion 33 to rotate therewith. Meanwhile, such an arrangement is also advantageous for improving the overall strength of the disk portion 33. The projection of the boss 513 on the horizontal plane may be a circle, so that the shape is regular and the forming and manufacturing are convenient.
