  • Patent number: 10854402
    Abstract: A knob assembly includes a lower housing, a pushing member, an upper housing, and a screw member. The lower housing includes a tank and hook structures. A through via is formed at the center of the lower housing. The upper housing is rotatably stacked on the lower housing. A lower surface of the upper housing includes an annular hook groove. The pushing member is disposed between the upper and the lower housing, and includes a body and pushing structures. A screw hole is formed at the center of the body. When the screw member is screwed into the screw hole through the through via, the pushing member moves toward and locks the lower housing, and the pushing structures push the hook structures to cause the hook structures to expand outward and be hooked to the annular hook groove, so that the upper housing is limited by the lower housing.

  • Publication number: 20190361478
    Abstract: A knob assembly includes a disk housing body and an annular base. The disk housing body includes a cover plate, a limiting structure, and a side wall structure. The cover plate and the limiting structure are disposed opposite to each other. The side wall structure is connected to the cover plate and the limiting structure to form a horizontal annular groove. The annular base is embedded in the horizontal annular groove, so that the disk housing body can rotate relative to the annular base. A shuttle knob includes the foregoing knob assembly, a substrate, a reflection layer, and a detection apparatus. The knob assembly is disposed on the substrate by using the annular base. The reflection layer is disposed between the disk housing body and the annular base, and the reflection layer includes a feature pattern. The detection apparatus is disposed on the substrate.
