The photo-interrupter has a light-receiving part and a light-emitting part. A sensing area 2301 is formed in the center of the interrupter. The principle of operation is to use the light-emitting part to convert the electrical input signal into light, and the light-receiving part that receives the light converts the light into an electrical signal; the actuator 24 and the The base 20 is assembled and arranged corresponding to one side of the circuit board 23. The actuating member 24 has an upper side 240 and a lower side 241. The upper side 240 forms a receiving portion 2403 and its outer peripheral side protrudes upward to form a flange 2401. The accommodating portion 2403 is used for accommodating a display module base 25. The display module base 25 correspondingly houses a display module 26. The display module 26 can be used to select a touch-operated display The display module 26 transmits signals to the circuit board 23 through at least one cable (not shown in the figure) to control its touch operation. The display module 26 is correspondingly attached with a nameplate 4 , The flange 2401 protrudes upwards to form at least one combined portion 2402. The combined portion 2402 can be a convex column, a convex body, or a convex point. The lower side 241 is formed from the outside to the inside in sequence. The actuating portion 242 and at least one triggering portion 243 and an inner ring portion 244 are formed by the lower side 241 of the actuating member 24 protruding downward, and the actuating portion 242 is formed by a plurality of convex portions 2420 and Plural recesses 2421 are arranged in staggered intervals, when the When the actuating member 24 is assembled with the base 20, the elastic member 21 provided on the base 20 will contact the protruding portion 2420 and the recessed portion 2421 of the actuating portion 242, so that the sliding member 22 corresponds to the protrusions. The portion 2420 and the recessed portion 2421 contact and slide back and forth, so that when the actuating member 24 is rotated, it can produce a sense of touch and feedback to the user; the trigger portion 243 corresponds to the sensing area 2301 of the sensing unit 230 The trigger portion 243 moves back and forth in the sensing area 2301 to block the light in the sensing area 2301. It should be noted that the trigger portion 243 may be one or more continuous or discontinuous The inner ring is arranged on the inner side of the lower side 241 relative to the actuating part 242, the number of which is adjusted according to the needs of the user, and will be described first; the inner ring part 244 is arranged on the lower side 241 of the seat moving member opposite to The inner side of the trigger portion 243, in other words, the inner ring portion 244 is the innermost structure of the lower side 241, and the inner ring portion 244 is arranged in a convex strip state corresponding to the button unit 231 on the circuit board 23 , So that when the actuator 24 is pressed down, the inner ring portion 244 correspondingly contacts the button unit 231; the outer cover 27 covers the actuator 24 and the base 20 correspondingly, and the outer cover 27 is provided with a corresponding group The transparent plate 5 has at least a set of connecting portions 270 formed inside the outer cover 27, and the connecting portion 270 is selected to be a groove, a cavity, or a concave hole so that the connecting portion 270 corresponds to the combination portion 2402 Therefore, when the user rotates the outer cover 27, of course, the assembling part 270 also rotates, and the assembling part 2402 on the actuator 24 that is in contact with the assembling part 270 is also rotated to make use of When the outer cover 27 is rotated, the actuating part 242 will be rotated together. It is particularly worth mentioning that the combination part 2402 arranged above the actuating member 24 is combined with the assembly part 270 arranged below the inner cover 27. Furthermore, the design of the rotation action is achieved, and the component processing is simpler than the conventional rotary switch. Compared with the following, the present invention can effectively improve the conventional shortcomings; in addition, a back cover is provided on the other side of the base 20 correspondingly 6. At least one hook 60 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the back cover 6, and at least one locking portion 271 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the outer cover 27, and the locking portion 271 is in the form of a groove. The hook 60 is The corresponding card is set in the card portion 271 to achieve the waterproof effect of the push switch 2; and wherein, the sealing ring 3 can be a V-shaped design, and the sealing ring 3 extends with an outer wing 31, the outer wing 31 The thickness is thinner than that of the sealing ring 3, so that when the outer cover 27 is assembled and attached to the outer wing 31, the outer cover can be tightly waterproof through the sealing ring 3 and the outer wing 31 while having flexibility. The outer cover 27 is attached to the outer wing 31 which is thinner than the sealing ring 3, so that the outer cover 27 can reduce the impact of the pressure when it rotates and is difficult to rotate.

Through the design of this structure of the present invention, when the user rotates the outer cover 27, the assembling portion 270 of the outer cover 27 drives the assembling portion 2402 of the upper flange 2401 of the actuator 24 to rotate the actuator 24, and because of the The actuating portion 242 of the actuating member 24 forms a plurality of convex portions 2420 and concave portions 2421 staggered at intervals, so that when the sliding member 22 slides back and forth on the actuating portion 242, the user has a sense of paragraph (tactile or linear) Tactile feedback. In addition, when the actuator 24 rotates, the trigger portion 243 on the actuator 24 will move back and forth in the sensing area 2301 of the sensing unit 230 on the circuit board 23. When the sensing unit 230 The sensing signal of the trigger part 243 is detected, and the signal is transmitted to the circuit board 23 to control the increment or decrement function of the push switch 2. In addition, the inner ring formed by the lower side 241 of the actuator 24 244 structure design. When the user presses down the outer cover 27, it will simultaneously drive the actuator 24 to press down. At this time, the inner ring portion 244 on the actuator 24 will correspondingly touch the button unit 231 to open or close the Rotate the push switch 2. In this way, the present invention can achieve the rotary push switch 2 with touch and rotation functions at the same time. In addition, the rotary push switch 2 can greatly reduce the production cost compared with the traditional push switch. Mass production has the advantage of modularization.

As mentioned above, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. It has the functions of touch and rotation at the same time; 2. It has the function of modularization; 3. It can greatly reduce the production cost.
