[0028] The utility model provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to help fully understand the various embodiments of the utility model as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to help understanding, but these details should be regarded as exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, descriptions of orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., and orientations or positional relationships indicated are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] It will be understood that when one element (eg, a first element) is “connected” to another element (eg, a second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element or an intervening element (eg, a third element) may be present between the element and the other element.

[0031] The embodiment of the utility model provides a hidden touch control component, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a housing 100 and a touch component 200. The housing 100 can be a box structure, which can be integrally formed or formed by combining multiple connecting plates. The housing 100 forms a receiving cavity for accommodating the touch component 200. The receiving cavity forms an opening 101 on one side of the housing 100, and the touch component 200 can slide into or out of the receiving cavity through the opening 101. In order to facilitate observation of the internal structure of the housing 100, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Part of the structure of the housing 100 is removed. The touch control component 200 includes a touch display screen, which provides a human-machine interactive interface and allows users to touch and operate to control corresponding electrical products. According to actual needs, other components such as buttons and indicator lights can also be integrated on the touch control component 200.

[0032] The touch component 200 is slidably connected to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101, so that the touch component 200 can slide out of or into the opening 101. The touch component 200 can slide relative to the housing 100 to a hidden state and a use state. When the touch component 200 is in the hidden state, it is stored in the housing 100, which is equivalent to hiding it to protect the touch component 200; when the touch component 200 is in the use state, it is exposed to the housing 100. Specifically, the touch component 200 can be exposed to the housing 100 in its entirety or in a large part, so that the user can operate the touch component 200 to control the corresponding electrical product.

[0033] A press-to-lock buckle structure 110 is disposed in the housing 100 , and a locking head 120 is disposed on the touch component 200 . The user can slide the touch component 200 to change the state of the touch component 200 . When the touch component 200 slides to the hidden state, the self-locking buckle structure 110 can be locked with the locking head 120 to limit the touch component 200 from sliding outward, and the touch component 200 can remain in the hidden state stored in the shell 100; when the self-locking buckle structure 110 and the locking head 120 are in the locked cooperation state and the touch component 200 is pressed by the user, the self-locking buckle structure 110 can be unlocked by itself, thereby separating from the locking head 120, and the self-locking buckle structure 110 no longer limits the touch component 200 from sliding outward, and the touch component 200 can slide to the use state exposed to the shell 100, so that the user can use the touch component 200 normally. This embodiment does not use a driving device. The touch component 200 can be kept inside the shell 100 by pressing the self-locking buckle structure 110 and the locking head 120. This structure is simpler and more convenient for users to use.

[0034] In some embodiments, the housing 100 can be placed vertically, and the opening 101 can be located at the bottom of the housing 100. When the user presses the touch component 200, the self-locking buckle structure 110 can automatically unlock the lock head 120, and the touch component 200 can slide downward by itself under the action of gravity, thereby sliding out of the housing 100 by itself, eliminating the need for the user to pull the touch component 200 out of the housing 100, further facilitating user use.

[0035] In some embodiments, a damping mechanism 300 is disposed in the housing 100. The damping mechanism 300 is used to apply damping to the sliding of the touch component 200 relative to the housing 100, so that the sliding speed of the touch component 200 relative to the housing 100 will not be too fast, thereby avoiding damage to the touch component 200 or the housing 100. In particular, when the housing 100 is placed vertically, if there is no damping mechanism 300, the touch component 200 is likely to fall quickly under the action of gravity. The damping mechanism 300 can protect the touch component 200 and / or the housing 100.

[0036] Further, the damping mechanism 300 includes a rack 310, a gear 320 and a damper 330. The rack 310 is fixed to one of the housing 100 and the touch assembly 200, that is, the rack 310 can be fixed to the housing 100 or the touch assembly 200. The rack 310 extends in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101 and is parallel to the sliding direction of the touch assembly 200. The gear 320 is rotatably connected to the other of the housing 100 and the touch assembly 200. When the rack 310 is fixed to the housing 100, the gear 320 is rotatably connected to the touch assembly 200. When the rack 310 is fixed to the touch assembly 200, the gear 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. At the same time, the gear 320 is also meshed with the rack 310. When the touch assembly 200 slides relative to the housing 100, the gear 320 rotates. The damper 330 is connected to the gear 320 to apply damping to the rotation of the gear 320. The gear 320 cannot rotate quickly. Accordingly, the touch component 200 is difficult to slide quickly relative to the housing 100, thereby protecting the touch component 200 and / or the housing 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, a guide mechanism 400 is disposed in the housing 100 , and the guide mechanism 400 is used to guide the touch component 200 to slide relative to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the opening 101 to ensure that the touch component 200 can slide smoothly in a direction parallel to the opening 101 .

[0038] In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 400 includes a guide rail 410 and a slider 420. The guide rail 410 is fixed to one of the housing 100 and the touch assembly 200, that is, the guide rail 410 can be fixed to the housing or the touch assembly, and the guide rail 410 extends in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101. The slider 420 is fixed to the other of the housing 100 and the touch assembly 200. When the guide rail 410 is fixed to the housing 100, the slider 420 is fixed to the touch assembly 200. When the guide rail 410 is fixed to the touch assembly 200, the slider 420 is fixed to the housing 100. The slider 420 also slidably cooperates with the guide rail 410, thereby guiding the touch assembly 200 to slide relative to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101.

[0039] In other embodiments, the guide mechanism 400 includes a guide groove 430 and a pulley 440, and the guide groove 430 is arranged in one of the housing 100 and the touch component 200, that is, the guide groove 430 can be arranged on the housing 100 or on the touch component 200, and the guide groove 430 extends in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101. The pulley 440 is rotatably connected to the other one of the housing 100 and the touch component 200. When the guide groove 430 is set on the housing 100, the pulley 440 is rotatably connected to the touch component 200. When the guide groove 430 is set on the touch component 200, the pulley 440 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. When the guide groove 430 is set on the housing 100, the pulley 440 is rotatably connected to the touch component 200. The pulley 440 can slide in the guide groove 430 to guide the touch component 200 to slide relative to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the direction of the opening 101 through the cooperation between the pulley 440 and the guide groove 430.

[0040] Further, the housing 100 includes reinforcement members 450 located on both sides thereof, the guide groove 430 is provided on the reinforcement member 450, and two groups of pulleys 440 are provided and respectively located on both sides of the touch control assembly 200. The reinforcement member 450 not only provides the guide groove 430, but also can strengthen the structural strength of the housing 100. The guide groove 430 and the pulley 440 are both provided in two groups, which can enhance the guiding effect of the touch control assembly 200.

[0041] In some embodiments, the push-to-lock buckle structure 110 is a push-to-lock female buckle, and the locking head 120 is a push-to-lock sub-buckle. The push-to-lock female buckle can be locked with the push-to-lock sub-buckle, and when the user presses the push-to-lock sub-buckle, the push-to-lock female buckle can separate from the push-to-lock sub-buckle by itself.

[0042] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a range hood, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes a main unit 510, a smoke hood 520 and a hidden touch component of any of the above embodiments. The specific description of the hidden touch component can refer to the above embodiments and will not be repeated here. The smoke hood 520 is arranged below the main unit 510 and connected to the main unit 510. The smoke hood 520 is used to collect oil smoke. The main unit 510 is provided with structures such as a fan and an exhaust pipe. The fan generates suction to draw away the oil smoke in the smoke hood 520 and discharge it through the exhaust pipe. The housing 100 is fixed in the main unit 510. The surface of the main unit 510 is provided with a notch for the opening of the housing 100 to be exposed. In this way, the touch component 200 can be hidden inside the main unit 510 to prevent the oil smoke from adhering to the touch component 200 and affecting the use of the touch component 200. The touch component 200 can also be exposed to the main unit 510 for the user to control the entire range hood.

[0043] In some embodiments, the notch is disposed on the bottom surface of the host 510, the housing 100 is placed in a vertical direction, and the direction of the opening is parallel to the vertical direction. When the user presses the touch component 200, the self-locking buckle structure can automatically unlock the lock head, and the touch component 200 can slide downward by itself under the action of gravity, thereby sliding out of the host 510 by itself, further facilitating user use.

[0044] The terms and words used in the above description and claims are not limited to the literal meanings, but are only used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the utility model.
