[0027] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] A specific embodiment 1 of the smart home control component of the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control component for smart home includes a main control panel 1 and an extension panel. The main control panel 1 includes a main shell 10 and a main circuit element 11 installed in the main shell 10. The side of the main shell 10 is provided with a first magnetic structure 12, a first power terminal 13 and a first signal terminal 14, and the first power terminal 13 and the first signal terminal 14 are electrically connected to the main circuit element 11 respectively; the extension panel includes an extension shell and an extension circuit element installed in the extension shell.

The main circuit element 11 of the main control panel 1 can control the operation of the original smart home appliances, and the expansion circuit elements in the expansion panel can control the newly added smart home appliances. Under the magnetic attraction cooperation of the first magnetic structure 12 and the magnetic matching structure 22, a positive attraction is formed between the main control panel 1 and the expansion panel, so that the first power terminal 13 is electrically connected and matched with the power matching terminal 23, so as to realize power supply to the expansion circuit elements of the expansion panel; and the first signal terminal 14 is electrically connected and matched with the signal matching terminal 24, so as to realize modular expansion of the control function of the main control panel 1, and then the operation control of the newly added smart home appliances can be completed through the main control panel.

[0030] The main control panel 1 and the expansion panel are accurately connected by magnetic attraction to prevent large deviations in the docking position; moreover, since the magnetic attraction always exists after docking, the expansion panel can be prevented from accidentally detaching from the main control panel 1, ensuring the reliability of the expansion connection.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first magnetic structure 12 is arranged in the middle of the side of the main shell 10, and the first power terminal 13 and the first signal terminal 14 are distributed on both sides of the first magnetic structure 12; the magnetic matching structure 22 is arranged in the middle of the side of the extended shell, and the power matching terminal 23 and the signal matching terminal 24 are distributed on both sides of the magnetic matching structure 22. The first power terminal 13 and the first signal terminal 14 are designed on both sides of the first magnetic structure 12, and the power matching terminal 23 and the signal matching terminal 24 are designed on both sides of the magnetic matching structure 22, and the reliable docking between the main control panel 1 and the extended panel can be ensured through the first magnetic structure 12 and the magnetic matching structure 22 in the middle.

[0032] In addition, a middle groove 17 is provided on the lower side of the main housing 10, the outline of which is a rectangle, and the first magnetic structure 12 is a first magnet fixedly installed in the middle groove 17; correspondingly, a middle boss 27 is provided on the upper side of the expansion housing, the outline of which matches the middle groove 17, and the magnetic matching structure 22 is a second magnet fixedly installed on the middle boss 27. The middle groove 17 and the middle boss 27 match each other, and the accurate positioning of the main control panel 1 and the expansion panel is ensured during modular expansion.

[0033] Specifically, the first power terminal 13 includes a plurality of spaced-apart sockets, and the power mating terminal 23 includes a plurality of spaced-apart conductive posts. The sockets of the first power terminal 13 are conductively plugged into and mated with the conductive posts of the power mating terminal 23, and the plugging direction of the sockets of the first power terminal 13 and the conductive posts of the power mating terminal 23 is parallel to the magnetic attraction mating direction.

In other words, the transfer expansion panel 2, as a transition part between the main control panel 1 and the rear expansion panel 3, can realize the newly added control functions of the module, and can also provide a basis for further expansion of the transfer expansion panel 2 or the rear expansion panel 3.

[0038] In addition, a display screen 18 and a control button are also provided on the main housing 10, and the display screen 18 and the control button are respectively electrically connected to the main circuit element 11.
