The present invention provides a push-type rotary switch having display function, comprising: a bearing seat having a signal producing unit and an IR interruption sensing signal producing unit, and a first signal being produced when pressing the signal producing unit, when a space between the IR reception end and the IR emission end is not interrupted, the circuit base emits a second signal; a rotating seat rotatably setting on the bearing seat, the signal producing unit being optionally pressed on the rotating seat; a key cap covering with the rotating seat, when the key cap is pushed, the key cap further presses the rotating seat, when the key cap is forced to rotate, the rotating seat correspondingly rotates, and the space between the IR reception end and the IR emission end is optionally interrupted when the key cap rotates; and a display being correspondingly set under the transparent wall.

A control interface with haptic feedback for a motor vehicle to take into account an action of a user by providing the user with a haptic feedback. The control unit includes a magnetorheological fluid module that has a rotary element which rotates about an axis of the magnetorheological fluid module, said rotary element being in contact with magnetorheological fluid and designed to be coupled to a grip element, and an application unit for applying a magnetic field to the magnetorheological fluid, designed to modify the strength of the magnetic field. The control interface also includes a control unit having a fixed tactile surface arranged at the centre of the grip element.

A battery-powered control device may be configured to control an amount of power delivered to one or more electrical loads and provide various feedback associated with the control device and/or the electrical loads. The feedback may indicate a low battery condition and/or the amount of power delivered to the one or more electrical loads. The control device may include a light bar and/or one or more indicator lights for providing the feedback. The control device may operate in different modes including a normal mode and a low battery mode.

A time switch of controllable time adjustment, the time switch comprising a switch housing (10), a control circuit board (9) arranged inside the switch housing (10), an input terminal (6) and an output terminal (7) arranged on the bottom surface of the switch housing (10), a connecting piece (5) for connecting the input terminal (6) and the output terminal (7), a warped plate (2) connecting to the switch housing (10) by means of a rotating shaft, a first spring (4) provided between the warped plate (2) and the connecting piece (5). The warped plate (2) swaying about the rotating shaft drives the connecting piece (5) to sway. The swaying of the connecting piece (5) causes the input, terminal (6) and the output terminal (7) to complete closing and opening. The control circuit board (9) is electrically connected to the output terminal (7). The time switch has a simple structure and a convenient installation, so it can be installed in various electric appliances needing to realize a timing function.

A rotary operation device includes a rotary operation part on which a rotation operation is performed, a rotation detector configured to detect an amount of rotation of the rotary operation part, a display part integrally formed with the rotary operation part and configured to display an image while rotating with the rotary operation part, and a controller configured to control the display part such that the image is displayed moved in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the rotary operation part based on the detected amount of rotation so as to look still to an operator.

A load control device may be configured to control multiple characteristics of one or more electrical loads such as the intensity and color of a lighting load. The load control device may include concentric rotating portions for adjusting the multiple characteristics. A control circuit of the load control device may be configured to generate control data for controlling one or more of the characteristics of the electrical loads in response to rotations of the concentric rotating portions. The control circuit may be further configured to provide feedback regarding the control being applied on one or more visual indicators. The load control device may be a wall-mounted dimmer device or a battery-powered remote control device.
