Knob switch is a common electronic switch
that operates based on both electronic and mechanical principles. It can be used to control various household appliances, lighting fixtures, machinery and other electrical products.
The core components of a rotary switch are the rotary knob and encoder switch assembly. When the knob is turned, the mechanical movement of the knob triggers electronic control of the switch assembly, thereby switching the on/off state of the circuit. Next, we will explore in detail the working principle of the rotary switch.
Firstly, the knob consists of a main body and an internal encoder. The main body is usually a cylindrical or spherical object, while the internal rotary switch is composed of a rotary encoder, which is generally classified into mechanical, photoelectric, and other types. The encoder's internal encoder disk and axis can be rotated and switched through the knob gear lever to select the desired function or gear.
Secondly, the encoder also has internal components such as shrapnel and nest pieces, which can be used for position switching, signal transmission, and tactile feedback When the knob is turned to different positions, the movement of its internal encoder is changed, and digital information is pushed through signal transmission to form a functional display.
Finally, the current will be controlled when it passes through the knob switch. When the knob is turned to the "on" position, the contact points close and the current can be transmitted normally. On the contrary, when the knob is turned to the "off" position, the contact point will disconnect and current cannot be transmitted. This is the basic principle of rotary switches
.
In summary, the rotary switch combines mechanical and electronic elements and is a very practical electronic switch. Through it, people can easily control the opening and closing of various electrical products, making our lives more convenient.
Attention: When turning the knob switch, excessive force should be avoided to avoid damaging the switch components or metal sheets. In addition, when using rotary switches, corresponding safety principles should be followed to prevent short circuits or other hazards during electrical operation.
