Abstract
Disclosed herein a user interface device includes a hinge configured to slide in a first direction along a rail extending in the first direction; and a knob coupled to the hinge to slide in the first direction and configured to detect a rotation input; wherein the knob includes a knob base coupled to the hinge, a bearing including a first member coupled to the knob base and a second member rotatable about a rotation axis with respect to the first member, and a knob body coupled to the second member and configured to rotate with respect to the knob base, wherein the knob body is detachably coupled to the second member.
Claims7
A user interface device, comprising:
- a hinge configured to slide in a first direction along a rail extending in the first direction;
- and
- a knob coupled to the hinge to slide in the first direction and configured to detect a rotation input;
- wherein the knob comprises:
- a knob base coupled to the hinge,
- a bearing including a first member coupled to the knob base and a second member rotatable about a rotation axis with respect to the first member, and
- a knob body coupled to the second member and configured to rotate with respect to the knob base;
- wherein the knob body is detachably coupled to the second member,
- wherein the knob body is provided with a plurality of second magnets having a first predetermined radius based on a center of rotation and arranged at equal intervals along a circumferential direction, and the knob base is provided with a plurality of third magnets having a second predetermined radius based on a renter of rotation and arranged at equal intervals along a circumferential direction, the number of third magnets equaling to the number of the second magnets.
A user interface device, comprising:
- a display;
- a rail extending in a first direction parallel to the display at one side of the display;
- a hinge configured to slide along the rail in the first direction;
- and
- a knob coupled to the hinge to slide in the first direction on a display surface of the display and configured to detect a rotation input;
- wherein the knob comprises:
- a knob base coupled to the hinge,
- a bearing including a first member coupled to the knob base and a second member rotatable about a rotation axis with respect to the first member, and
- a knob body coupled to the second member to rotate with respect to the knob base,
- wherein the knob body is detachably coupled to the second member,
- wherein the knob body is provided with a plurality of second magnets having a first predetermined radius based on a center of rotation and arranged at equal intervals along a circumferential direction, and the knob base is provided with a plurality of third magnets having a second predetermined radius based on a center of rotation and arranged at equal intervals along a circumferential direction, the number of third magnets equaling to the number of the second magnets.
