Abstract
A knob structure includes a base support, a knob portion, a seat and a plurality of elastic pieces. The knob portion has an inner wall surface. The inner wall surface is inclined to an axis and surrounds the axis to define a space. The knob portion is signally connected to a processor and configured to rotate relative to the base support about the axis. The seat is at least partially located in the space. The seat is at least partially sleeved to the base support and configured to move relative to the base support along the axis. The elastic pieces are disposed on the seat and configured to abut against the inner wall surface.

A knob structure, comprising:
- a base support;
- a knob portion having an inner wall surface, the inner wall surface being inclined to an axis and surrounding the axis to define a space, the knob portion being signally connected to a processor and configured to rotate relative to the base support about the axis;
- a seat at least partially located in the space, the seat being at least partially sleeved to the base support and configured to move relative to the base support along the axis;
- and
- a plurality of elastic pieces disposed on the seat and configured to abut against the inner wall surface.
A knob structure, comprising:
- a base support at least partially extending along an axis;
- a knob portion having an inner wall surface surrounding the axis to define a space, a cross-section of the knob portion perpendicular to the axis having an inner edge defining the inner wall surface, the inner edge being substantially circular, a diameter of the inner edge diminishing towards the base support along the axis, the knob portion being signally connected to a processor and configured to rotate relative to the base support about the axis;
- a seat at least partially located in the space, the seat being at least partially sleeved to the base support and configured to move relative to the base support along the axis;
- and
- a plurality of elastic pieces disposed on the seat and configured to abut against the inner wall surface.
