Abstract
A multi-functional knob comprising: a button unit exposed to the outside and having a gripping circumferential surface; a guide body unit of a hollow type, configured such that the button unit surrounds at least a portion thereof and is fixedly coupled to an outer surface thereof; a fixing housing of a hollow type, at least partially surrounding the button unit and the guide body unit; a push member assembled to the fixing housing and configured to move in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis in response to movement of the guide body unit; and a printed circuit board connected to the fixing housing.
Claims15
A multi-functional knob comprising:
- a button unit exposed to an outside and having a gripping circumferential surface;
- a guide body unit of a hollow type, configured such that the button unit surrounds at least a portion thereof and is fixedly coupled to an outer surface thereof, wherein the guide body unit includes a plurality of rotary guide units arranged along a circumferential surface, and wherein at least a part of a push member slidably contacts the rotary guide units;
- a fixing housing of a hollow type, at least partially surrounding the button unit and the guide body unit;
- the push member assembled to the fixing housing and configured to move in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis in response to movement of the guide body unit;
- and
- a printed circuit board connected to the fixing housing.

- a fixing housing of a hollow type, at least partially surrounding the button unit and the guide body unit;
- a push member assembled to the fixing housing and configured to move in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis in response to movement of the guide body unit;
- and
- a printed circuit board connected to the fixing housing,
- wherein the printed circuit board includes:
- a push sensor for sensing movement in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the push member;
- and
- a rotation sensor for sensing a rotational movement of the guide body unit.
