Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the conventional operation panel as in Patent Document 1, when the protective sheet is attached to the panel body, static electricity emitted from the operator's hand intrudes into the electrodes provided on the substrate, possibly destroying the circuit on the substrate.
In addition, in the conventional operation panel as in Patent Document 1, since the dielectric is integrally formed with the substrate, the mounting process of the dielectric is limited to the manufacturing of the substrate.

Embodiment approach 1

[0018] figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the appearance of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. exist figure 1 In the figure, a floor-standing air conditioner is illustrated as the air conditioner 100 . exist figure 1 Here, with the air conditioner 100 as a reference, the front-rear direction is defined as the x-axis direction, the left-right direction is defined as the y-axis direction, and the height direction is defined as the z-axis direction. The same applies to the following figures.

[0019] Such as figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a main body 10 , an appearance panel 20 and an operation panel 30 . The air conditioner 100 is installed in an air-conditioning target space such as a room, and adjusts the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and the like of the air in the air-conditioning target space. The air conditioner 100 may be an indoor unit of a separate air conditioner provided with an indoor unit and an ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an operation panel that is provided to an air conditioner. The operation panel includes: a panel body that is provided with a hole for forming a fitting hole; a board that is provided with a gasket at a position corresponding to the fitting hole, said gasket undergoing a change in the charge capacity thereof as a result of contact with a human body; a button case made from resin that covers the gasket and is fitted into the fitting hole; and a protective sheet that is attached to a design surface of the panel body so as to cover the button case.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capacitive operation panel installed in an air conditioner and using a capacitive type to detect changes in charge capacity. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, some air conditioners are equipped with an operation panel for receiving an input operation by a user among air conditioners, and recently, capacitive operation panels are widely installed. A capacitive operation panel accepts an input operation by a user by detecting a change in charge capacity caused by a user's touch operation. [0003] Among capacitive operation panels, there is an operation panel provided with a pad whose electric charge capacity is changed by a user's touch. Such an operation panel is configured to accept an input operation assigned to the pad when the user touches the pad on the substrate through the protective sheet attached to the panel main body. In addition, in capacitive operation panels, there is an operation panel in ...
