For example, as shown in the figure, the first sensing element 43 is used as a receiving end sensor, and the second sensing element is used as a transmitting end sensor, so that the wiring difficulty in the angle sensor 40 is reduced; for another example, the first sensing element 43 serves as a transmitting end sensor and the second sensing element serves as a receiving end sensor.

Alternatively, the carrier 10 may be used as a main body supporting structure of the rocker device 100, and the shape of the carrier 10 may be square, spherical or other shapes according to actual needs, which is not particularly limited herein. The housing 41 is used as a protective case 11 of the angle sensor 40 for mounting and fixing the circuit board 42 and the second sensor, and the shape thereof is not limited, and the housing 41 may be mounted on the carrier 10 by a screw, may be fixed on the carrier 10 by a snap connection, or the like, and the specific shape and connection are not limited.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the carrier 10 is provided in a rectangular body shape to facilitate the assembly of the angle sensor 40. Further, to facilitate assembly of the rocker 20 and the shaft 30 in the carrier 10, the carrier 10 is divided into two parts that can be snapped together, respectively defined as a protective shell 11 and a base 12. Specifically, the protective housing 11 includes a square top plate, the top plate is provided with a through hole for the part of the rocker handle 21 to extend out of the carrier 10, the periphery of the top plate is folded downwards to form a side wall, the top plate and the side wall are matched to form a cavity with an opening at the lower end, and the base 12 is embedded into the mounting groove to form a whole with the protective housing 11 for mounting internal spare parts of the rocker device 100. Further, the end of the side wall far away from the top plate is convexly provided with a metal sheet extending downwards, and after the base 12 is embedded in place, the metal sheet is bent and abutted on the lower surface of the base 12, so that the protective shell 11 and the base 12 are limited to be relatively far away along the axial direction of the protective shell.

Further, the rocker 20 includes a rocker handle 21, a restoring member and a top block 22, the restoring member may be a spring 23, one end of the spring 23 abuts against the base 12, the other end abuts against the top block 22, and the top block 22 is slidably mounted in the base 12 along an axial direction. The rocker arm 21 has at least one degree of freedom of rotation, that is, the number of the rotating shafts 30 is at least one, so that the rocker arm 20 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting carrier 10 through one rotating shaft 30, and at this time, the rocker arm 20 has one degree of freedom of rotation; the rocker 20 may be rotatably mounted to the mounting carrier 10 by a plurality of shafts 30, and accordingly, the rocker 20 has a plurality of rotational degrees of freedom. It is only necessary to ensure that when the rocker 20 moves, the first inductance element 43 and the second inductance element 44 can generate relative displacement, so that the overlapping area of the two elements is changed. The overlapping area is an overlapping area of the first inductor 43 and the second inductor 44 along the opposite portion of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 30 to which the first inductor 43 is connected.

Further, after the assembly of the rocker 20, the spring 23 is in a pre-compressed state, and an upward reaction force is applied to the rocker handle 21 by the ejector 22, so that the rocker handle 21 slides smoothly, and can be reset to a central position when the rocker 20 is not subjected to an external force.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the protective housing 11 and the base 12 may be fixed together by other connection methods, such as a clamping connection, which is not limited herein.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the angle sensor 40 is disposed outside the carrier 10. In this way, the installation of the angle sensor 40 does not occupy the internal space of the carrier 10, the structure of the entire rocker device 100 is more compact, and the volume can be relatively smaller.

According to the technical scheme of the utility model, the housing 41 of the angle sensor 40 is mounted on the carrier 10, the circuit board 42 is mounted on the housing 41 and is kept fixed relative to the carrier 10, the first electric sensing element 43 is connected with the rotating shaft 30 and can rotate along with the rotating shaft, and the circuit board 42 is provided with the second electric sensing element 44. When the rocker 20 moves, the rotating shaft 30 is pushed to rotate relative to the carrier 10, and then the first inductive element 43 is driven to rotate relative to the shell 41, relative rotation occurs between the first inductive element 43 and the second inductive element 44, the superposition area between the first inductive element 43 and the second inductive element 44 is changed, the inductance value of the second inductive element 44 is correspondingly changed, inductance signals with corresponding magnitudes are output, corresponding position signals are output, the inductance signals are fed back to the control system for processing, corresponding position information is output, and then the position information of the first inductive element 43 (namely, the position information of the rocker 20) can be determined. Compared with the traditional carbon film rocker 20, the rocker device 100 can realize the motion detection of the rocker 20 in a non-contact mode, has no problem of contact abrasion, can effectively prolong the service life of the rocker 20, has no problem of carbon particle adsorption caused by friction between the elastic sheet and the film resistor, can not generate the drift problem of the rocker 20, and can effectively improve the performance stability of the rocker 20. Compared with the Hall rocker 20, the rocker device 100 provided by the utility model adopts inductance induction to realize the motion detection of the rocker 20, so that the power consumption is lower, the working time of the whole machine is prolonged, and the market competitive advantage of products is effectively improved.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the second inductor 44 is a printed circuit 44a disposed on the circuit board 42. In this embodiment, the circuit board 42 is a common hard PCB board, and a printed circuit 44a (Pattern) corresponding to the first inductor 43 of the circuit board 42 is used as the transmitting sensor, so that the overall thickness of the circuit board 42 and the inductor is relatively small, which is convenient for miniaturization of the rocker device 100. And the nature of the printed circuit 44a is inductive and is not limited in shape or number. The printed circuit 44a may be disposed on a side of the circuit board 42 facing the first inductor 43, or the printed circuit 44a may be disposed on a side of the first inductor 43 facing away from the metal sheet, which is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the second inductor 44 may also be a patch inductor 44b instead of the printed circuit 44a, so as to detect the position of the rocker 20. The chip inductor 44b may be fixed to a surface of the circuit board 42 facing the first inductor 43 by means of adhesion, soldering, or the like, and may also perform detection of the movement of the rocker 20.

In one embodiment, the first inductive element 43 includes a rotary table 431 and a metal element 432, the rotary table 431 is connected with the rotary shaft 30 and can coaxially rotate along with the rotary shaft 30, and the metal element 432 is disposed on a side of the rotary table 431 facing the circuit board 42; when the rotating shaft 30 rotates, the rotating disc 431 is driven to rotate, so that the overlapping area of the metal piece 432 and the second inductive piece 44 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 30 is changed, the inductance value of the second inductive piece 44 is correspondingly changed, and a corresponding induction signal is output.

Optionally, the turntable 431 is disc-shaped, and the metal piece 432 is fixed on the side of the turntable 431 opposite to the inductor circuit by gluing, insert molding or clamping, and the like, which is not limited herein. Therefore, compared with the first inductor 43 made of metal material or in other shapes (e.g., the first inductor 43 is arc-shaped and is fixed on the rotating shaft 30 via a connecting rod so as to rotate along with the rotating shaft 30), the rocker device 100 has a more compact internal structure, and the rotating shaft 30 is more easily and conveniently installed.

In accordance with the above embodiment, the metal member 432 is formed in a sheet shape to reduce the inner thickness thereof. For example, the rotating disc 431 may be a triangular, rectangular, trapezoid or other irregularly shaped sheet structure, and the specific shape is not limited herein, and only the overlapping area of the metal sheet and the second inductor 44 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 30 is required to be changed when the rotating disc 431 rotates along with the rotating shaft 30, so that the inductance value of the second inductor 44 is correspondingly changed when the rotating shaft 30 drives the rotating disc 431 to rotate.

In one embodiment, the second inductive elements 44 are plural, and the plural second inductive elements 44 are sequentially arranged along the movement track of the metal element 432. For example, the second inductive element 44 is 2, 3, 4 or more, which are arranged at intervals, and the specific number thereof is not limited herein, and may be specifically designed according to the detection sensitivity and the size of the internal space of the housing 41.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, taking the second inductor 44 as the patch inductor 44b as an example, the patch inductors 44b are 4 pieces that do not interfere with each other, and the 4 patch inductors 44b are arranged along the movement track of the metal piece 432 projected on the circuit board 42. The rotation of the rocker 20 further drives the turntable 431 to rotate, the relative overlapping area of the metal piece 432 and the 2 patch inductors 44b is changed, the inductance values of the two patch inductors 44b are correspondingly changed, inductance signals with corresponding magnitudes are respectively output, and the external main control can perform data fitting on the two inductance signals according to a preset program or algorithm according to the two inductance signals, so that action information of the rocker 20 is generated. The sensitivity of the rocker device 100 is relatively high and the accuracy is high compared to a single second inductive element 44.

Further, the four second inductance elements 44 are respectively defined as a first inductance, a second inductance, a third inductance and a fourth inductance, and the metal element 432 is an arc-shaped metal sheet which is gradually reduced in design along the length direction. When the angle sensor 40 is in an initial state, that is, the rocker 20 is not rocked, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the metal piece 432 overlaps with the second inductor and the third inductor respectively, and when the rocker 20 is toggled along one direction, the turntable 431 is correspondingly driven to rotate, the overlapping area of the metal piece 432 and the second inductor and the overlapping area of the metal piece 432 and the fourth inductor are gradually reduced. When the rocker 20 is shifted to the maximum position in this direction, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the metal piece 432 only overlaps the third inductor and the fourth inductor. Thus, when the rocker 20 is shifted, the inductance values of the second inductor, the third inductor and the fourth inductor are correspondingly changed, corresponding inductance signals are output, and the motion detection of the rocker 20 is indirectly realized through the processing of the inductance signals.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, when the rocker 20 rotates to the maximum position, the metal piece 432 may overlap the first inductor, the second inductor, the third inductor and the fourth inductor at the same time, or overlap the second inductor, the third inductor and the fourth inductor at the same time, which is not limited herein.

It should be further noted that, when the second inductance element 44 is a printed circuit 44a disposed on the circuit board 42, the printed circuit 44a may be a square circuit, a circular circuit or an irregularly shaped circuit, which is not limited herein, as long as the inductance value of the second inductance element 44 can be changed and a corresponding inductance signal can be output to the external main control when the rocker 20 drives the turntable 431 to rotate.

In one embodiment, a side of the housing facing the carrier 10 is formed with a receiving slot 411; the circuit board 42 is disposed in the accommodating slot 411, and has a avoiding hole 421 through which the rotating shaft 30 passes; the rotary plate 431 is disposed in the accommodating slot 411 and has a non-rotating hole 4311 through which the rotating shaft 30 passes, so that the rotary plate 431 can rotate relative to the housing 41 along with the rotating shaft 30. The receiving slot 411 is used to provide a rotation space for the rotary table 431, so that the entire rocker device 100 is more compact.

Optionally, the connecting hole formed at the center of the rotary table 431 is a non-rotary hole 4311 adapted to the end of the rotary shaft 30, and the non-rotary hole 4311 may be a square hole, a polygonal hole or other opposite holes, and correspondingly, the shape of the end of the rotary shaft 30 is matched with the non-rotary hole 4311. As shown in the drawing, in the embodiment, the non-square hole is correspondingly provided with a side cutting shaft, and the rotating disc is rotatably installed in the accommodating groove 411 and is spaced from the circuit board 42, so that the shape of the non-rotating hole 4311 is not limited, and only when the rotating shaft 30 rotates, the rotating disc 431 can be driven to coaxially rotate.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the circuit board 42 is integrally formed with the housing 41 by insert molding, and serves as a bottom of the accommodating slot 411. Thus, the circuit board 42 and the housing 41 are integrally formed into a single piece through insert molding, thereby reducing the number of parts of the rocker device 100 and simplifying the assembly of the rocker 20.

The housing 41 may be fixed to the side wall of the carrier 10 by a screw or the like, or may be fixed to the carrier 10 by a snap connection or the like, which is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, a plug post 4312 in plug-in fit with the avoidance hole 421 is protruding from the periphery of the non-rotation hole 4311, a limit portion 4313 is protruding from the periphery of one end of the plug post 4312 away from the turntable 431 along the periphery of the plug post 4312, and the limit portion 4313 abuts against a surface of the shell 41 facing away from the carrier 10.

Optionally, the plugging post 4312 is integrally cylindrical, so as to limit the relative distance between the turntable 431 and the housing 41 along the axial direction of the accommodating slot 411, and the limiting portion 4313 is disposed in the axial direction of the plugging post 4312, and the limiting portion 4313 abuts against a surface of the housing, which is away from the carrier 10, so as to limit the relative distance between the turntable 431 and the housing 41 along the axial direction of the accommodating slot 411. Further, in order to facilitate the limiting portion 4313 of the plugging post 4312 to pass through the avoiding hole 421, in this embodiment, a strip-shaped notch is formed on the plugging post 4312, so that the plugging post 4312 is divided into a plurality of parts, so that the plugging post 4312 is convenient to deform to allow the limiting portion 4313 to extend out of the avoiding hole 421 and be placed outside the housing 41. Meanwhile, the design of the plug-in post 4312 makes the connection between the turntable 431 and the rotating shaft 30 more stable and the rotation stability higher.

It should be noted that, the metal piece 432 is made of a conductive material. The conductive material includes, but is not limited to, copper, steel, aluminum, or other metal conductive materials, or may also be made of a polymer conductive material such as graphene. Further, the metal pieces 432 are all arranged in a sheet shape, so that the structure is simple, the occupied volume is small, and meanwhile, the sensitivity is high.

In one embodiment, the angle sensor 40 further includes a lead-out member 45, one end of the metal pin is connected with the circuit board 42, and the other end extends out of the housing; the lead-out member 45 includes a PCB pad, a lead terminal, a wire-to-board connector, a wire, a flexible board, or a metal pin, etc., and is not limited herein, and the lead-out structure is only required to electrically connect the circuit board 42 with an external control member, and is not limited herein.

Specifically, taking the circuit board 42 as an example of the flexible circuit board 42, the circuit board 42 may be formed with a pad area at the bottom of the case 41 for conduction with an external motherboard by hot bar (thermo-compression bonding process). When the circuit board 42 is a hard circuit board 42, the circuit board can be correspondingly conducted with an external motherboard by adopting a board-to-board connector, which is not limited herein.
