In this way, by designing the light ring 132 between the knob body 131 and the inner wall of the through hole 111, the gap between the two is reduced, and at the same time, the waterproof structure effectively breaks the tension of water molecules and prevents water from entering the interior of the control panel assembly 10, thereby effectively playing a waterproof and safety role.

[0038] Furthermore, the knob body 131 includes a first knob 1311 and a second knob 1312, one end of the second knob 1312 is mounted on the first knob 1311, the first knob 1311 and the second knob 1312 are respectively located on both sides of the light ring 132, and the light ring 132 is sandwiched between the first knob 1311 and the second knob 1312. In this way, the gap between the first knob 1311, the second knob 1312 and the light ring 132 is reduced, which effectively plays a role in waterproofing and safety.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first knob 1311 is a solid aluminum knob. The solid aluminum knob achieves a high-quality appearance of a hardware aluminum knob by cutting the rod aluminum, CNC, anodizing and other processes, enhancing the user's feel and texture when turning, thereby improving the user's experience. In addition, in this embodiment, the second knob 1312 is a plastic knob.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lamp ring 132 includes a base 1321 and an annular ridge 1322 extending from the base 1321 to one side; the waterproof structure includes the annular ridge 1322, the outer side of the annular ridge 1322 abuts against the inner wall of the through hole 111, and the inner side of the annular ridge 1322 abuts against the outer wall of the first knob 1311.

[0041] Specifically, the first gap 151 between the annular ridge 1322 and the inner wall of the through hole 111 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm, and the second gap 152 between the annular ridge 1322 and the first knob 1311 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm. In this way, water that has just entered between the annular ridge 1322 and the inner wall of the through hole 111 can be blocked for the first time.

[0042] In a feasible embodiment, the lamp ring 132 also includes a circle of annular ribs 1323 extending from the base 1321 toward the opposite side, and the waterproof structure also includes annular ribs 1323, and the outer wall of the annular ribs 1323 abuts against the outer wall of the second knob 1312; the second knob 1312 is provided with an annular rib, and the end of the annular rib 1323 abuts against the annular rib.

[0043] Specifically, the fourth gap 154 ​​between the annular rib 1323 and the second knob 1312 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm; the second knob 1312 is provided with an annular rib (not shown in the figure), which is arranged along the outer periphery of the annular rib 1323. The annular rib mentioned here is not bent toward the annular rib 1323 to form a folded edge compared to the annular folded edge 13121. Of course, in this embodiment, the annular rib can also be bent toward the annular rib 1323 to form a folded edge. In this way, a fifth gap 155 is formed between the annular folded edge 13121 and a circle of annular ribs 1323, and the fifth gap 155 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm, further improving the waterproof effect.

[0044] In another feasible embodiment, the lamp ring 132 also includes two circles of annular ribs 1323 extending from the base 1321 toward opposite sides, and the waterproof structure also includes annular ribs 1323, and the outer wall of the annular ribs 1323 abuts against the outer wall of the second knob 1312; the second knob 1312 is provided with an annular folded edge 13121, and the annular folded edge 13121 extends into the groove formed by the two circles of annular ribs 1323.

[0045] Specifically, the fifth gap 155 and the sixth gap 156 between the annular fold 13121 and the two circles of annular ribs 1323 are respectively less than or equal to 1.2 mm. In this way, the water flowing into the third gap 153 and the fourth gap 154 ​​can be blocked for the third time. In this embodiment, the first knob 1311 and the second knob 1312 are fixedly connected; the third gap 153 between the first knob 1311 and the second knob 1312 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm, and the fourth gap 154 ​​between the second knob 1312 and the lamp ring 132 is less than or equal to 1.2 mm.

[0047] In order to prevent water from flowing into the control board assembly 10 through the six gaps, in this embodiment, the control board assembly further includes a circuit board 17, which is mounted on the inner side of the through hole 111 and arranged vertically with the knob body 131; the seventh gap 157 between the knob body 131 and the circuit board 17 is greater than 2 mm. In this way, it is ensured that water flowing through the seventh gap 157 will not touch the internal circuit board 17, avoiding safety risks.

[0048] In a feasible embodiment, the seventh gap 157 between the knob body 131 and the circuit board 17 is 4 mm, so that water flowing in the seventh gap 157 falls freely due to gravity, ensuring that the water is not enough to hit the circuit board 17.

[0049] In this embodiment, a water outlet 14 is provided at the bottom of the control panel 11; the water outlet 14 is connected to the seventh gap 157. In a feasible embodiment, the water outlet 14 is in the form of a long strip, so as to increase the area for water to flow out.

[0050] In this embodiment, the display assembly 12 includes a display assembly 121 and a keypad 122. A mounting portion 113 arranged obliquely from top to bottom to the outside is provided on the control panel 11. The display assembly 121 and the keypad 122 are mounted on the mounting portion 113 from outside to inside. In this way, the display assembly 121 and the keypad 122 are mounted on the mounting portion 113 in an oblique manner, so that water can fall freely along the inclined surface.

[0051] Furthermore, the lamp ring 132 further includes an annular positioning rib 1324 arranged along the circumference, and the inner side of the control panel 11 is provided with an annular notch 112 along the circumference, and the annular positioning rib 1324 is engaged in the annular notch 112. In this way, the movement of the lamp ring 132 can be further restricted, and the positioning of the lamp ring 132 when fixed is also facilitated.

[0052] This embodiment also discloses a method for installing the control panel assembly 10 on the control panel 11. First, the display panel assembly 121 and the key panel 122 are pre-assembled together by aligning the screw columns and screw holes, and two cross pan head self-tapping screws are screwed to form a component to be processed; then, the component to be processed is screwed along the screw holes. Fig.10 Press into the mounting portion 113 of the control panel 11 in the mounting direction indicated by the arrow; finally, drive two cross flat head self-tapping screws to lock it into the part to be processed.

[0053] Further, the lamp ring 132 is installed into the inner side of the control panel 11 of the part to be processed in the previous step, and is tightened with a cross pan head self-tapping screw, so that the lamp ring 132 forms the part to be processed again; then Fig.10 Install the first knob 1311 and the second knob 1312 into the parts to be processed in the previous step one after the other in the installation direction shown by the arrow, and fasten them into the parts to be processed by two cross flat head screws; finally, pre-install the circuit board box 16 with the parts to be processed in the previous step by aligning the screw columns and the screw holes, and fasten four cross flat head self-tapping screws to form the control board assembly 10, thus completing the assembly of the control board assembly 10.

[0054] Of course, the above is just one possible way to achieve this. Fig.10 Only the installation of some parts is shown, and the specific method of installing the control panel assembly 10 on the control panel 11 is not limited here.
