隨著各式智慧型裝置的蓬勃發展，各式各樣的科技產品相繼問世，並逐漸融入一般日常生活中。例如：智慧型手機、智慧型家電以及智慧型穿戴配件等。透過智慧型裝置，使用者可以快速且方便地瀏覽各式訊息，並藉由輸入介面選擇功能以及輸入資訊。With the vigorous development of various smart devices, a variety of technological products have come out one after another, and gradually integrated into the daily life. For example: smart phones, smart home appliances and smart wearable accessories. Through the smart device, users can quickly and easily browse various messages and select functions and input information through the input interface.
一般的智慧型裝置普遍透過觸控式的輸入介面選擇需要的功能以及輸入必要的資訊。其中，智慧型穿戴配件，例如：智慧型眼鏡以及智慧型手錶等係為目前發展的重點之一，但是為了符合方便使用者隨身攜帶、節省材料以及收納空間等需求，智慧型穿戴裝置大多朝向輕量化、薄型化以及防水防塵等設計發展。換言之，為了符合輕量化及薄型化的需求，智慧型眼鏡以及智慧型手錶並無法具有足夠的空間搭載觸控式的輸入介面，即使智慧型眼鏡以及智慧型手錶搭載觸控式的輸入介面，亦會壓縮觸控式操作介面的尺寸，衍生出操作不便以及降低操控靈活性等問題。In general, smart devices generally select the required functions and input necessary information through the touch input interface.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the annular side wall 101 is circumferentially disposed on the bottom plate 102, and the annular side wall 101 and the bottom plate 102 define an accommodation space 15 and an opening 16. The magnetic conductive member 12 and the encoding module 13 are disposed in the accommodating space 15. In addition, the protective cover 14 is disposed on the opening 16 of the annular side wall 101 and faces the bottom plate 102 to close the accommodating space 15 to make the accommodating space 15 a sealed space. Thereby, the housing 10 and the protective cover 14 completely enclose the magnetic conductive member 12 and the coding module 13 in the accommodating space 15 to completely isolate the magnetic conductive member 12 and the coding module 13 from the outside, thereby achieving good waterproofing. The advantage of dustproof. In some embodiments, the annular sidewall 101 includes an outer sidewall surface 101a and an inner sidewall surface 101b. The outer side 101a of the annular side wall 101 is opposed to the inner side 101b. When the information input and output device 1 is assembled, the outer side wall surface 101a of the annular side wall 101 is exposed, and the inner side wall surface 101b of the annular side wall 101 is covered. In some embodiments, the outer side wall surface 101a of the annular side wall 101 has a first step portion T1, and the first step portion T1 protrudes outwardly from the outer side wall surface 101a. When the information input and output device 1 is assembled, the outer ring body 11 is disposed on the first step portion T1, and the outer ring body 11 is supported by the first step portion T1 to prevent the outer ring body 11 from coming loose or sliding. In other embodiments, the inner sidewall surface 101b of the annular sidewall 101 has a second step T2 and a third step T3. The second step portion T2 projects inwardly from the inner wall surface 101b, and the third step portion T3 is located at the end of the inner wall surface 101b and is adjacent to the opening 16, and is recessed from the inner wall surface 101b toward the outer wall surface 101a.

Therefore, the information input and output device 1 can achieve the purpose of support and fixation through the structures of the first step portion T1, the second step portion T2, and the third step portion T3, and further improve the waterproof and dustproof effect.
此外，如第2圖及第3圖所示，外環體11包括第一表面S1、第二表面S2、複數個凹槽111以及複數個磁鐵112。第一表面S1與第二表面S2彼此相對設置，且第一表面S1係緊鄰並環繞於環形側壁101設置。複數個凹槽111係形成於第一表面S1，且複數個磁鐵112係分別固定設置於複數個凹槽111中。此外，第一表面S1與第二表面S2係構成外環體11的完整表面，例如：第一表面S1係為外環體11之內部圓環狀表面，第二表面S2係為外環體11除去第一表面S1之其餘表面。於本實施例中，複數個凹槽111係從第一表面S1往第二表面S2之方向延伸，但實質上複數個凹槽111並未穿透第二表面S2。於一些實施例中，複數個凹槽111之形狀係與複數個磁鐵112之形狀相互匹配，使複數個磁鐵112穩定地固定於複數個凹槽111中，藉以避免磁鐵112因鬆脫或滑動等情事導致磁鐵的磁吸力無法有效發揮之問題。Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer ring body 11 includes a first surface S1, a second surface S2, a plurality of grooves 111, and a plurality of magnets 112. The first surface S1 and the second surface S2 are disposed opposite to each other, and the first surface S1 is disposed in close proximity to and around the annular sidewall 101. A plurality of grooves 111 are formed on the first surface S1, and a plurality of magnets 112 are fixedly disposed in the plurality of grooves 111, respectively. In addition, the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 constitute a complete surface of the outer ring body 11, for example, the first surface S1 is an inner annular surface of the outer ring body 11, and the second surface S2 is an outer ring body 11. The remaining surface of the first surface S1 is removed. In the present embodiment, the plurality of grooves 111 extend from the first surface S1 toward the second surface S2, but substantially the plurality of grooves 111 do not penetrate the second surface S2. In some embodiments, the shape of the plurality of grooves 111 and the shape of the plurality of magnets 112 are matched to each other, so that the plurality of magnets 112 are stably fixed in the plurality of grooves 111 to prevent the magnets 112 from being loosened or slid. The situation causes the magnetic attraction of the magnet to be ineffective.
請參閱第4圖並配合第2圖，第4圖係為第1圖所示之資訊輸入及輸出裝置之局部結構示意圖。如圖所示，導磁件12具有複數個凸緣121、內齒面122以及外周面123。於本實施例中，導磁件12係為環狀結構，且外周面123係與內齒面122相對設置。凸緣121係由導磁件12之外周面123延伸凸出，內齒面122係形成於環狀導磁件12之內側並由複數個齒構成，且內齒面122環繞形成中空區域124。於本實施例中，當資訊輸入及輸出裝置1完成組裝時，導磁件122之複數個凸緣121係支撐並抵頂於第二梯部T2。於一些實施例中，導磁件12之複數個凸緣121係抵頂於環形側壁101之內側壁面101b，且導磁件12之外周面123係與環形側壁101之內側壁面101b間隔複數個氣隙，以強化複數個磁鐵112所產生之磁吸力作用。Please refer to Fig. 4 and Fig. 2, which is a partial structural diagram of the information input and output device shown in Fig. 1. As shown, the magnetically permeable member 12 has a plurality of flanges 121, an inner tooth surface 122, and an outer peripheral surface 123. In the present embodiment, the magnetic conductive member 12 has an annular structure, and the outer peripheral surface 123 is disposed opposite to the inner tooth surface 122. The flange 121 is extended by the outer peripheral surface 123 of the magnetic conductive member 12, and the inner tooth surface 122 is formed inside the annular magnetic conductive member 12 and composed of a plurality of teeth, and the inner tooth surface 122 surrounds the hollow region 124. In the present embodiment, when the information input and output device 1 is assembled, the plurality of flanges 121 of the magnetic conductive member 122 are supported and abut against the second step portion T2. In some embodiments, the plurality of flanges 121 of the magnetic conductive member 12 abut against the inner side wall surface 101b of the annular side wall 101, and the outer peripheral surface 123 of the magnetic conductive member 12 is spaced apart from the inner side wall surface 101b of the annular side wall 101 by a plurality of gas. The gap acts to reinforce the magnetic attraction generated by the plurality of magnets 112.
請再參閱第2圖及第3圖，於一些實施例中，第一梯部T1至底板102之最小垂直距離為第一長度H1，第二梯部T2至底板102之最小垂直距離為第二長度H2，且第三梯部T3至底板102之最小垂直距離為第三長度H3。於本實施例中，第一長度H1係略小於第二長度H2，且第二長度H2係小於第三長度H3。藉此，當資訊輸入及輸出裝置1組裝完成時，設置於外環體11內之複數個磁鐵112係隔著環形側壁101與導磁件12之凸緣121相對設置，提高複數個磁鐵112與導磁件12之間的磁吸力。即導磁件12之水平高度係介於複數個磁鐵112之最低水平高度與最高水平高度之間，使外環體11內之每一個磁鐵穩定地與導磁件12上之相對凸緣121相吸引。亦即，透過複數個磁鐵112所提供的磁吸力吸引導磁件12之凸緣121，使外環體11與導磁環12可進行同步地轉動。Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 again, in some embodiments, the minimum vertical distance from the first step T1 to the bottom plate 102 is the first length H1, and the minimum vertical distance from the second step T2 to the bottom plate 102 is the second. The length H2 and the minimum vertical distance from the third step T3 to the bottom plate 102 are the third length H3. In this embodiment, the first length H1 is slightly smaller than the second length H2, and the second length H2 is smaller than the third length H3. Therefore, when the information input and output device 1 is assembled, the plurality of magnets 112 disposed in the outer ring body 11 are disposed opposite to the flange 121 of the magnetic conductive member 12 via the annular side wall 101, thereby increasing the plurality of magnets 112 and The magnetic attraction between the magnetically permeable members 12. That is, the horizontal height of the magnetic conductive member 12 is between the lowest horizontal height and the highest horizontal height of the plurality of magnets 112, so that each magnet in the outer ring body 11 is stably coupled with the opposite flange 121 on the magnetic conductive member 12. attract. That is, the magnetic attraction of the plurality of magnets 112 attracts the flange 121 of the magnetic member 12 to rotate the outer ring 11 and the magnetically permeable ring 12 in synchronization.
