DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This embodiment provides a key panel, which is mainly used for installing the key panel, improving the convenience of installation, and solving the problem of damage to the key panel during disassembly.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting platform 1, the mounting platform 1 is provided with a through groove 101, the through groove 101 is provided with a control panel 2 fixed to the mounting platform 1, the control panel 2 is provided with a button switch 21, a panel cover 3 is provided above the button switch 21, and also includes a locking mechanism 5 for locking the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, wherein when the locking mechanism 5 is in a locked state, the panel cover 3 is fixed to the mounting platform 1; when the locking mechanism 5 is in an unlocked state, the panel cover 3 can be detached from the mounting platform 1.

[0031] Specifically, the locking mechanisms 5 are provided in several groups and are distributed at the edge of the panel cover 3 , so as to facilitate the locking operation between the locking mechanisms 5 and the mounting platform 1 .

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a sliding groove 311 is provided on the panel cover 3, wherein the locking mechanism 5 includes a locking block 51, a connecting rod 52 and a push block 53, wherein the connecting rod 52 passes through the sliding groove 311 and extends toward the bottom wall of the mounting platform 1, the locking block 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 52, and the push block 53 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting rod 52. Specifically, the sliding groove 311 is a waist-shaped groove, so that the connecting rod 52 can slide along the direction close to or away from the edge of the panel cover 3.

[0033] Through the above arrangement, when it is necessary to lock the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, the push block 53 is pushed at this time, and then the locking block 51 is driven to move toward the side close to the edge of the panel cover 3 through the connecting rod 52, so that the top wall of the locking block 51 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting platform 1, thereby locking the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1; when it is necessary to release the lock of the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, the push block 53 is pushed toward the side away from the edge of the panel cover 3, so that the locking block 51 is completely stored directly below the through groove 101, and the top wall of the locking block 51 is released from the abutment with the bottom wall of the mounting platform 1, and the panel cover 3 and the locking mechanism 5 can be directly removed from the mounting platform 1.

[0034] In order to improve the locking effect between the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly provided with a rubber pad 7 corresponding to the locking mechanism 5. When the mounting platform 1 and the panel cover 3 are locked, the top wall of the locking block 51 abuts against the bottom wall of the rubber pad 7 and squeezes the rubber pad 7, causing the rubber pad 7 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the friction between the locking block 51 and the mounting platform 1 and improving the stability of the locking of the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1.

[0035] In order to prevent the push block 53 from protruding above the top wall of the panel cover 3, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the top wall of the panel cover 3 is provided with a downwardly recessed storage groove 31, wherein the sliding groove 311 is arranged on the bottom wall of the storage groove 31. At this time, the push block 53 is located in the storage groove 31 and the thickness of the push block 53 is less than the depth of the storage groove 31, thereby solving the problem of the push block 53 protruding from the panel cover 3.

[0036] In order to prevent the connecting rod 52 from sliding along the depth direction of the receiving groove 31, in this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the push block 53 is larger than the diameter of the sliding groove 311, and the side wall of the connecting rod 52 is fixedly provided with a limit block 521 extending radially along the connecting rod 52, wherein the bottom wall of the push block 53 abuts against the bottom wall of the storage groove 31, and the top wall of the limit block 521 abuts against the bottom wall of the panel cover 3, thereby being able to limit the movement of the connecting rod 52 along the depth direction of the storage groove 31.

[0037] When the locking mechanism 5 locks the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, the push block 53 still has the risk of moving away from the edge of the panel cover 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a storage sleeve 34 is provided at the bottom of the panel cover 3 and is located directly below the storage groove 31 . The storage sleeve 34 is provided with an opening connected to the storage groove 31 . A positioning mechanism 6 for positioning the push block 53 is provided in the storage sleeve 34 .

[0038] It is worth noting that, after the locking mechanism 5 realizes the locking of the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1 , the positioning mechanism 6 is used to limit the movement of the push block 53 , thereby improving the locking stability of the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1 .

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning mechanism 6 includes a positioning column 61 and a compression spring 62, wherein the positioning column 61 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage sleeve 34, and in a locked state, the top end of the positioning column 61 extends into the storage groove 31, and the side wall of the positioning column 61 abuts against the side wall of the push block 53, wherein the compression spring 62 is installed in the inner cavity of the storage sleeve 34, one end of the compression spring 62 abuts against the bottom wall of the positioning column 61, and the other end of the compression spring 62 abuts against the inner wall of the storage sleeve 34.

[0040] When it is necessary to release the lock between the panel cover 3 and the mounting platform 1, the positioning column 61 is pressed into the storage sleeve 34 and the compression spring 62 is compressed. Then, the push block 53 is pushed to the side away from the edge of the panel cover 3, thereby releasing the lock of the panel cover 3 by the locking mechanism 5. It is worth mentioning that when the panel cover 3 is unlocked, the top wall of the positioning column 61 abuts against the bottom wall of the push block 53, limiting the upward extension of the positioning column 61.

[0041] In order to facilitate pressing the positioning column 61 to the bottom of the push block 53, in this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a guide slope 611 is provided on the top of the positioning column 61 toward the side of the push block 53. When the lowest point of the guide slope 611 is lower than the bottom wall of the storage groove 31, the side wall of the push block 53 abuts against the guide slope 611. At this time, the pressure on the positioning column 61 can be released. At this time, the push block 53 continues to move to push the positioning column 61 to the bottom of the push block 53.

[0042] In order to prevent the panel cover 3 from being higher than the top wall of the mounting platform 1, in this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top wall of the mounting platform 1 is provided with a downwardly recessed mounting groove 10, wherein the area of ​​the mounting groove 10 is larger than the cross-section of the through groove 101, the through groove 101 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 10, the panel cover 3 is installed in the mounting groove 10, and the top wall of the panel cover 3 is flush with the top wall of the mounting platform 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a protective retaining ring 32 is fixedly provided on the top wall of the panel cover 3, and the button switch 21 extends into the inner cavity of the protective retaining ring 32. The button switch 21 is lower than the top wall of the protective retaining ring 32, and the protective retaining ring 32 is made of hard plastic.

[0044] Through the above configuration, the purpose of providing the protective retaining ring 32 and limiting the position of the push button switch 21 to be lower than the top wall of the protective retaining ring 32 is to prevent people from accidentally touching the push button switch 21 .

[0045] In order to prevent external water or dust from contacting the control board 2 through the protective retaining ring 32 and causing a short circuit problem, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the protective retaining ring 32 is also provided with a button 4 axially slidably connected along the protective retaining ring 32 , wherein the button 4 is installed on the top of the push button switch 21 , and the top wall of the button 4 is lower than the top wall of the protective retaining ring 32 .

[0046] The top wall of the protective retaining ring 32 is provided with a downwardly recessed load-bearing ring groove 321, and the button 4 is provided with a guide rib 41 plugged into the load-bearing ring groove 321, wherein the guide rib 41 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the load-bearing ring groove 321, and the button 4 is also provided with an avoidance ring groove 42 for pressing the button 4 downward for a certain distance, wherein the lowest position of the load-bearing ring groove 321 is provided with a leakage hole 322 connected to the outer wall of the protective retaining ring 32.

[0047] Through the above arrangement, when external water contacts the top wall of the button 4, the water flows along the guide rib 41 to the inside of the bearing ring groove 321, and then the water inside the bearing ring groove 321 flows out of the protective retaining ring 32 through the leakage hole 322, thereby preventing the water from contacting the control board 2 and causing a circuit short circuit problem.

[0048] It is worth noting that in order to better discharge the water in the annular groove 321, Figure 4 As shown, the mounting platform 1 and the panel cover 3 may form an angle α with the horizontal plane, so that the panel cover 3 is inclined. At this time, the water leakage hole 322 can be located at the lowest point of the bearing ring groove 321, which can speed up the discharge of water inside the bearing ring groove 321.

[0049] In order to prevent water from flowing from the gap between the panel cover 3 and the mounting groove 10 to the position of the control board 2, in the present embodiment, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 10 is provided with an upwardly protruding buckle and retaining ring 102, and the bottom wall of the panel cover 3 is provided with a buckle and groove 33 for inserting the buckle and retaining ring 102. When the panel cover 3 is installed inside the mounting groove 10, the side walls of the buckle and retaining ring 102 abut against the inner walls of the buckle and groove 33, thereby enhancing the sealing of the installation of the panel cover 3.

[0050] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
