The utility model may be practiced or carried out in other embodiments that depart from the specific details, and the details of the present description may be modified or varied from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.
Referring to fig. 1-2, an embodiment of a knob device 100 with adjustable hand feedback is used for connecting with an electronic device to provide an adjusting function for the electronic device, such as adjusting the volume, the current, etc.; comprises a knob 1, an adjustable electromagnetic damper 2, a power supply and a main control module 3. The knob 1 is fixedly connected to the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2, the power supply is respectively electrically connected with the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 and the main control module 3 and supplies current, and the main control module 3 is electrically connected with the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 and is used for controlling the electromagnetic damping.
The object (i.e., the electronic device) to which the knob device is applied is not limited to a mouse, and the electronic device may also include a personal computer, a computing terminal such as a notebook computer, a speaker, a home appliance, and the like.
The knob 1 may be substantially cylindrical, and a middle portion near one end of the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 is connected to the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2, so that the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 provides a certain amount of resistance to rotation of the knob.
Preferably, the side of the knob 1 is provided with rough anti-slip patterns.
The adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 may be a brushless motor, or other device that may provide adjustable electromagnetic damping. The adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 comprises a damper body 21, a magneto-electric encoder and a transmission shaft 22, wherein the distal end of the transmission shaft 22 is fixedly connected with the knob, and the damper body 21 provides adjustable resistance for the knob through the transmission shaft 22; the magneto-electric encoder is used for sensing the rotation angle of the knob and converting the rotation angle into an electric signal to be sent to the main control module 3.
The power supply can be a battery or an external power supply, and the movable battery is used as the power supply, so that the knob device 100 can be conveniently moved, and the use field is wider.
The main control module 3 comprises a main control chip set, wherein the main control module 3 is internally connected with the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 and externally connected with electronic equipment, such as a personal computer. The main control module 3 can control the resistance output by the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 according to a preset mode (such as resistance level) or an instruction of the electronic equipment; after the magnetoelectric encoder converts the rotation angle of the knob into an angle electric signal and transmits the angle electric signal to the main control module 3, the main control module 3 transmits the angle electric signal to external electronic equipment.
The operation of the knob device 100 is illustrated as follows:
firstly, a plurality of resistance levels can be preset in the main control module 3, the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 outputs different resistances according to the different resistance levels, for example, the resistance levels are level 1, level 2 and level 3 respectively, and a command can be input to the main control module 3 through other external electronic devices 200 (for example, a computing terminal) to set the resistance levels. Each grade corresponds to a certain resistance, and the resistance of the grades 1-3 is gradually increased, and the difference of the resistance between the grades can make a user obviously feel the difference between the grades. For example, the resistance of level 1 is 0.1N, the resistance of level 2 is 0.2N, the resistance of level 3 is 0.3N, and so on. The number of the resistance level and the resistance corresponding to the level can be set through external equipment or a computing terminal.
Then, different resistance levels are set in the computing terminal to correspond to different tasks or programs, and the current resistance level of the knob device is set in the main control module or is set in a mode that the electronic equipment sends instructions. For example, the task corresponding to the level 1 is volume adjustment, the task corresponding to the level 2 is screen brightness adjustment, and the task corresponding to the level 3 is left-right sliding or up-down sliding of the computer page; the current resistance level is 2, and the corresponding task is screen brightness adjustment. The current resistance level of the knob device can be set through an external device, apparatus or computing terminal. For example, the current resistance level of the current knob device is set by clicking some keys that can send instructions to the main control module, or the current resistance level of the current knob device is set by the user's personal computer.
Finally, the user rotates the knob, and the knob drives the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 through the transmission shaft 22, and after the magnetoelectric encoder of the adjustable electromagnetic damper senses the rotation of the knob, the rotation angle is converted and encoded into an angle electric signal and is sent to the main control module 3. The main control module 3 transmits information such as an angle electric signal and the current resistance level to an external computing terminal so as to complete adjustment of corresponding tasks. And after receiving the information, the computing terminal adjusts the corresponding task according to the corresponding relation between the rotation angle and the resistance level and the task or the program. For example, the current resistance level of the knob device is level 2, the rotation angle is 30 degrees, after the computing terminal receives the information, the adjustment task corresponding to the level 2 is screen brightness adjustment, the task of screen brightness adjustment is started, the screen brightness is increased from 30% to 60%, or adjusted to 30%, and the like. On the other hand, the main control module 3 controls the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 to output corresponding resistance according to the resistance level of the current knob device. For example, when the current resistance level of the knob device is level 2, the main control module 3 controls the adjustable electromagnetic damper 2 to output 0.2N resistance to the knob, and the user can know that the task corresponding to the current knob is screen brightness adjustment through the resistance hand feel feedback of the knob.
