Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as figure 1 as well as image 3 As shown, the electrical equipment in Embodiment 1 is an air conditioner 9 of a vehicle, and the touch switch module 1 controls the air conditioner 9 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the touch switch module 1 is mounted below the central portion of the instrument panel 3 extending left and right in the vehicle interior. Wherein, besides the touch switch module 1 , the instrument panel 3 also has a vehicle navigator 5 and a central register 7 .

[0038] Touch switch module 1 such as image 3 As shown, with panel 2. In panel 2 as figure 2 As shown, a display unit 2a is provided, and a plurality of touch pads (pad) 2b and left and right sliders 2c, 2d are displayed.

[0039] The display unit 2a is located above the panel 2 and extends in the vehicle width direction. Various items indicating the setting state and current state of the air conditioner 9 are displayed on the display unit 2a.

[0040] The touch pad 2 b is shown in two s...

Embodiment 2

[0069] In the touch switch module 10 of embodiment 2, as Figure 6 As shown, a pair of sliding blocks 31 , 32 extending left and right are displayed on the panel 2 . The two sliders 31, 32 are located between the display unit 2a and the plurality of touch pads 2b.

[0070] The sliding blocks 31, 32 are composed of increasing parts 31a, 32a at the right end, decreasing parts 31b, 32b at the left end, first non-inductive parts 31c, 32c, second non-inductive parts 31d, 32d, and sliding sensing parts 31e, 32e.

[0071] The first non-sensitive parts 31c and 32c extend leftward by a predetermined length compared with the increment parts 31a and 32a. The second non-sensitive parts 31d and 32d extend to the right by a predetermined length than the decreasing parts 31b and 32b. The slide sensing parts 31e, 32e extend left and right between the first non-sensing parts 31c, 32c and the second non-sensing parts 31d, 32d. Other configurations are the same as in Embodiment 1.

Abstract

A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The panel displays a slide bar including a step-up portion, a step-down portion, a non-responsive portion and a slide responsive portion. The control unit includes an up signal output unit which, when a short touch which is the touch for a short time is performed on the step-up portion, outputs an up signal for raising an operating condition of the electrical equipment by one level per short touch, a down signal output unit which, when the short touch is performed on the step-down portion, outputs a down signal for lowering the operating condition of the electrical equipment by one level per short touch, and an output forbidding unit which, when the touch is performed on the non-responsive portion, forbids the output of the operation signal.

Description

technical field [0001] One aspect of the present invention relates to a touch switch module. Background technique [0002] Patent Document 1 below discloses a conventional touch switch module. This touch switch module has a panel, a touch sensor, and a control unit. A slider for indicating the operation of the electrical equipment is displayed on the panel. The touch sensor is an electrostatic capacitive sensor formed on the panel. The touch sensor detects the contact based on a voltage value generated when the user's finger contacts the slider. The control unit is connected with the touch sensor. The control unit outputs an operation signal for operating the electric device based on the contact. [0003] The sliding block has a step up portion located at the upper end, a step down portion located at the lower end, and a sliding sensing portion. The sliding sensing part extends from the increasing part to the decreasing part. [0004] In this touch switch module, when...
