Description

AN INTEGRATED TORQUE-ARMED ROTARY KNOB
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a rotary knob comprising at least one rotation mechanism to enable the workpiece to which it is connected to be rotated around an axis in different usage areas.
PRIOR ART
In industrial usages, in hand tools and in pluralities of different fields, one of the processes faced frequently in our daily lives is the rotation of a workpiece around an axis by means of turning. In some cases, the force needed for the rotation process does not strain a user and rotation/turning processes are realized in an ergonomic manner. In cases where rotation process necessitates extra power, the user turns the rotation switch by means of a hand tool. This results in extra time loss, and in some cases, this leads to exhausting of the user or work accident.
As a result, because of the abovementioned problems, an improvement is required in the related technical field.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rotary knob, for eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages and for bringing new advantages to the related technical field.
An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary knob which provides minimization of the required power for the rotation of a workpiece around an axis.
In order to realize the abovementioned objects and the objects which are to be deducted from the detailed description below, the present invention is a rotary knob comprising at least one rotation mechanism to enable the workpiece to which it is connected to be rotated around an axis in different usage areas. Accordingly, the improvement is that the subject matter rotary knob comprises at least one hidden arm positioned in at least one channel in said rotation mechanism in order to increase the rotation force exerted to the workpiece, Said hidden arm is associated with at least one actuation element for providing actuation of said hidden arm between a closed position, where said hidden arm is hidden in the channel, and an open position where the diameter of the rotation mechanism is at least partially extended and extends beyond the channel. Thus, in rotation processes which need power, as the actuation mechanism is rotated, rotation process is made ergonomic by means of the hidden arm provided in open position.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the actuation element is connected in a manner co-operating with at least one second magnetic element provided in the channel. Thus, the hidden arm is triggered by means of rotation of the actuation element.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the hidden arm is connected to at least one first magnetic element provided in the vicinity of the second magnetic element. Thus, in case the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element push each other, the open position occurs, and in case the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element exert attraction force to each other, closed position occurs.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the channel is configured to allow movement of the hidden arm. Thus, the hidden arm can be actuated in the channel.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the second magnetic element is provided in a manner rotatable around its own axis by means of the actuation element. Thus, a switching can be realized between the open position and the closed position.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the hidden arm, positioned in the channel such that the first magnetic element is connected at one end, is provided at the closed position in a manner not extending beyond the periphery of the rotation mechanism in the channel, and the second magnetic element connected to the actuation element in a manner provided in the channel is rotated around its own axis, and the second magnetic element pushes the first magnetic element and the hidden arm moves in a manner increasing the diameter of the rotation mechanism in the channel and moves to the open position. Thus, as the hidden arm is moved to the open position, the force needed for the rotation mechanism is minimized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
In Figure 1 , a representative perspective view of a rotation mechanism in the subject matter rotary knob is given.
In Figure 2, a representative perspective view of a closed position in the subject matter rotary knob is given.
In Figure 3, a representative perspective view of an open position in the subject matter rotary knob is given.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In this detailed description, the subject matter rotary knob (10) is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect only in order to make the subject more understandable.
In Figure 1 , a representative perspective view of the rotation mechanism (20) in the subject matter rotary knob (10) is given. Accordingly, said rotary knob (10) comprises at least one rotation mechanism (20). Said rotation mechanism (20) provides the workpiece to which it is connected to be rotated around an axis in different usage areas. The rotary knob (10) is a layered turning mechanism for providing minimization of the required power in the rotation mechanism (20). The rotation mechanism (20) essentially comprises at least one formed part (21) provided in the periphery thereof. Said formed part (21) is essentially a groove structure for providing grabbing of the rotation mechanism (20) manually or by means of a hand tool. The rotation mechanism (20) comprises at least one channel (22) provided longitudinally in the middle part at least partially. Said channel (22) is in pipe form and is connected to at least one cover (32) at one side thereof.
The rotary knob (10) comprises at least one hidden arm (30). Said hidden arm (30) essentially has a shaft-like cylindrical structure and is provided in the channel (22). The channel (22) is configured to provide forward-backward movement of the hidden arm (30) therein. The hidden arm (30) is connected to at least one first magnetic element (31 ) so as to be provided in the channel (22). Said first magnetic element (31 ) is essentially a magnet.
The rotary knob (10) comprises at least one actuation element (40). Said actuation element (40) is essentially a turn-knob provided on the upper surface of the rotation mechanism (20). The actuation element (40) is connected to at least one second magnetic element (41). Said magnetic element is a magnet and is provided in the channel (22). The first magnetic element (31) is provided in the vicinity of the second magnetic element (41).
In Figure 2, a representative perspective view of the closed position (II) in the subject matter rotary knob (10) is given. Accordingly, the closed position (II) occurs by means of providing the opposite poles of the first magnetic element (31 ) and the second magnetic element (41) on the sides facing each other. The opposite poles of the first magnetic element (31) and the second magnetic element (41 ) provide the hidden arm (30) to be positioned and stored in the channel (22) by means of exerting attraction force to each other.
In Figure 3, a representative perspective view of an open position (I) in the subject matter rotary knob (10) is given. As the actuation element (40) is turned in the rotary knob (10), the second magnetic element (41) rotates around the own axis thereof. As the second magnetic element (41) rotates around its own axis, the same poles of the second magnetic element (41) and of the first magnetic element (31) exert pushing force to each other. Thus, the hidden arm (30) is triggered by means of actuation of the first magnetic element (31). The second magnetic element (41 ) stays fixed by being provided in the vicinity of the cover (32). As the hidden arm extends beyond the channel (22), the diameter of the rotation mechanism (20) is extended at least partially. This condition of the hidden arm is described as an open position (I).
In an exemplary operation scenario of the present invention, as the actuation element (40) is turned, the second magnetic element (41 ) rotates around its own axis. The first magnetic element (31) whose same poles become mutual as the second magnetic element (41) rotates, the hidden arm (30) extends beyond the channel (22) and arrives at an open position (I)-
Together with all these embodiments, the torque force needed for the actuation of the rotation mechanism (20) is minimized. A workpiece can be rotated by the user in an ergonomic and rapid manner. An economic usage is presented since no extra cost is needed and since it can be applied to different usage areas.
The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
