For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a touch switch with a concealing effect, including a shielding layer 1, a light-transmitting layer 2, a touch circuit layer 3, a bonding adhesive 4 and an LED light board 5. The main components of the utility model are described in detail below:

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the shielding layer 1 is made of a translucent diffused PET material, which is used to cover the touch switch for concealment. It should be noted that the above structure is merely exemplary and not restrictive. In this embodiment, the shielding layer 1 is made of a translucent diffused PET material, but in other embodiments, the shielding layer 1 can also be made of a diffused PC material.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front side of the shielding layer 1 is provided with a wood grain texture structure 12 for adapting to the surrounding environment and increasing the concealment effect; it should be noted that in this embodiment, the front side of the shielding layer 1 adopts a wood grain texture structure 12, but in other embodiments, the front side of the shielding layer 1 can also adopt a planar structure.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the back side of the shielding layer 1 is hollowed out to have a letter-shaped marking groove 11, and the thickness of the marking groove 11 is 0.5 mm-3.0 mm, which is used to increase the light transmittance at the marking. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the marking groove 11 is a letter-shaped groove; but in other embodiments, the marking groove 11 can be a text-shaped groove; in other embodiments, the marking groove 11 can also be a pattern-shaped groove.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the light-transmitting layer 2 is bonded to the lower end surface of the shielding layer 1 , and the light-transmitting layer 2 is made of flexible PET material, and the thickness of the light-transmitting layer 2 is 0.1 mm-0.5 mm, so that it has good light transmittance and flexibility.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the touch circuit layer 3 is arranged on the lower end surface of the light-transmitting layer 2 , and a touch circuit tail band 31 is arranged on one side of the touch circuit layer 3 .

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the LED light board 5 is bonded to the lower end surface of the touch circuit layer 3 by a bonding adhesive 4, and the LED light board 5 is electrically connected to the touch circuit layer 3 by a touch circuit tail band 31, and the main body material of the LED light board 5 is a flexible material.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the principle is explained: when the LED light board 5 is turned off, the shielding layer 1 is made of translucent material. In the absence of a light source inside, the letter-shaped identification groove 11 on the back of the shielding layer 1 is not visible on the front; when the touch switch is pressed, the touch circuit layer 3 controls the LED light board 5 to turn on through the touch circuit tail band 31, and the light source provided by the LED light board 5 is irradiated on the shielding layer 1 through the light-transmitting layer 2. The letter-shaped identification groove 11 is thin and has better light transmittance than other positions of the shielding layer 1, and finally a letter-shaped light spot is formed on the front of the shielding layer 1.

[0034] In summary, the utility model discloses a touch switch with a concealing effect, in which a shielding layer matching the surrounding environment is designed, and the concealment and visibility of the logo are achieved by adjusting the local thickness of the shielding layer in conjunction with the LED light board. At the same time, flexible materials are used to further increase the coordination between the touch switch and the surrounding environment. The structural design is simple and ingenious, which greatly improves the concealment of the touch switch.

[0035] The above embodiment provided by the utility model is only an example of the principle and effect of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. Anyone familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiment without violating the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the utility model should still be covered by the claims of the utility model.
