Abstract

A precise, consistent, reliable, and high resolution magnetism metric controller applied in electronic and information devices is comprised of a scrolling wheel mechanism to drive by rotation a permanent magnet to retrieve signals of changed magnetic field due to displacement of magnetic poles of the permanent magnet.

Claims (2)

1. A magnetism metric controller comprising: a scrolling wheel mechanism and a signal retrieval installation; the signal retrieval installation being provided inside the scrolling wheel mechanism; the scrolling wheel mechanism including a cover, a pivot holder and a scrolling wheel; the signal retrieval installation including a permanent magnet, a locking base, a Hall sensor, and a circuit board; a shaft extending sideway from the scrolling wheel mechanism; the scrolling wheel being pivoted to two pivoting slots disposed on both sides of the pivot holder via the shaft; the top of the scrolling wheel being closed up with the cover; a circumference of the scrolling wheel being exposed out of an opening disposed on the surface of the cover; the permanent magnet being secured to the scrolling wheel; the circuit board being accommodated in the locking base; the locking base being secured in the pivot holder; and the Hall sensor being provided on the circuit board at where in relation to the locations of the permanent magnet to retrieve signals of changed magnetic field generated as the permanent magnet rotates.

2. The magnetism metric controller of claim 1 , wherein, multiple Hall sensors are used to retrieve signals from changed magnetic field.
