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

[0055] The ITO film assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the ITO film assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is used in an air conditioner 1000 , and the ITO film assembly 100 includes a film substrate 1 , a touch layer 2 , a conductive line 3 , a circuit board 4 and a processor 5 .

[0057] Among them, the two sides of the membrane substrate 1 in the thickness direction are respectively a first side 11 and a second side 12, the touch layer 2 is arranged on the surface of the first side 11 of the membrane substrate 1, the conductive wire 3 is arranged on the surface of the first side 11 of the membrane substrate 1, the conductive wire 3 is electrically connected to the touch layer 2, the circuit board 4 is located on the first side 11, the conductive wire 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and the processor 5 is arranged on the circuit board 4, which is used to convert the signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal.

[0058] It can be understood that the membrane substrate 1 is a transparent part, the touch layer 2 can receive touch electrical signals, the conductive wire 3 transmits the touch electrical signals received by the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4, and the processor 5 converts the touch electrical signals transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into digital signals and outputs them to the circuit board 81 of the display module 300. The digital signals have stronger anti-interference ability and longer transmission distance. The circuit board 81 can be arranged at a position far away from the processor 5, and still ensure that the touch electrical signals received by the touch layer 2 are smoothly transmitted to the circuit board 81, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the received touch electrical signals, and then ensuring the sensitivity of the touch function of the ITO film assembly 100.

[0059] By locating the touch layer 2, the conductive wire 3 and the circuit board 4 on the same side of the film substrate 1 in the thickness direction, the electrical connection between the touch layer 2 and the conductive wire 3 and between the conductive wire 3 and the circuit board 4 is facilitated, making the layout of the ITO film assembly 100 more reasonable, thereby shortening the length of the conductive wire 3, reducing parasitic capacitance, and improving the sensitivity of the circuit. At the same time, by arranging the processor 5 on the circuit board 4, the distance between the processor 5 and the touch layer 2 is further shortened, reducing the negative impact caused by the long distance between the processor 5 and the touch layer 2, and further ensuring the stable transmission of the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2.

[0060] Specifically, when the ITO film assembly 100 is applied to the air conditioner 1000, the electrical signal transmission of the air conditioner 1000 may include the following path: the touch layer 2 receives the touch electrical signal, the touch layer 2 transmits the electrical signal to the conductive wire 3, the conductive wire 3 transmits the electrical signal to the input end of the circuit board 4, the output end of the circuit board 81 transmits the electrical signal to the processor 5, the processor 5 converts the touch electrical signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal and transmits it to the circuit board 81, and the circuit board 81 transmits the digital signal to the control chip of the air conditioner 1000.

[0061] Optionally, the processor 5 may be an MCU or an A / D converter (analog to digital converter) or the like, which can convert the signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal.

[0062] According to the ITO film assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the touch layer 2 is arranged on the surface of the first side 11 of the membrane substrate 1, the conductive wire 3 is arranged on the surface of the first side 11 of the membrane substrate 1, the circuit board 4 is located on the first side 11, the conductive wire 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and the processor 5 is arranged on the circuit board 4, which is used to convert the signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal. The digital signal has a stronger anti-interference ability and a longer transmission distance. The circuit board 81 can be arranged at a position far away from the processor 5, and it is still ensured that the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2 is smoothly transmitted to the circuit board 81, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the touch electrical signal, and then ensuring the sensitivity of the touch function of the ITO film assembly 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the circuit board 4 is a flexible circuit board. It is understandable that, due to the high flexibility and thinness of the flexible circuit board, complex electrical connections and wiring can be achieved in a small space. Therefore, by locating the flexible circuit board on the first side 11 of the film substrate 1, the layout of the flexible circuit board is facilitated to be electrically connected to the conductive wire 3, thereby improving the reliability of the ITO film assembly 100.

[0064] It should be noted that the circuit board 4 may also be a rigid circuit board.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ITO film assembly 100 further includes a reinforcing plate 6. The reinforcing plate 6 is located on one side of the circuit board 4 in the thickness direction and is stacked with the circuit board 4. Thus, the reinforcing plate 6 effectively strengthens the rigidity of the flexible circuit board, effectively prevents the deformation of the flexible circuit board, resulting in tearing or damage to the internal circuit, and further improves the reliability of the ITO film assembly 100.

[0066] Optionally, the reinforcing plate 6 is made of other hard plates such as a steel plate, a plastic plate, etc., so as to effectively ensure the strength of the circuit board 4 .

[0067] In some embodiments of the utility model, the reinforcing plate 6 is located between the circuit board 4 and the diaphragm substrate 1 and is bonded to the diaphragm substrate 1. Thus, the reinforcing plate 6 is connected to the circuit board 4 and the reinforcing plate 6 is connected to the diaphragm substrate 1 through such an arrangement, thereby achieving an indirect connection between the diaphragm substrate 1 and the circuit board 4. At the same time, the bonding connection is easy to operate while ensuring the connection strength, and will not damage the circuit board 4 and the diaphragm substrate 1, thereby improving the overall reliability.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the touch layer 2 includes a plurality of sub-touch layers 21 that are spaced apart, the conductive wire 3 includes a plurality of sub-conductive wires 31, and the plurality of sub-conductive wires 31 are electrically connected to the plurality of sub-touch layers 21 one-to-one. A conductive connector is connected to the circuit board 4, and the conductive connector is a plurality of spaced apart electrical connections that are spaced apart and are electrically connected to the plurality of sub-conductive wires 31 one-to-one.

[0069] The multiple sub-touch layers 21 are arranged at intervals to reduce or avoid mutual interference between the multiple sub-touch layers 21, and each sub-conductive line 31 is conductively connected to the corresponding sub-touch layer 21, so that each sub-conductive line 31 forms an electrical connection with the corresponding sub-touch layer 21; in addition, the conductive connecting members are arranged at intervals in a plurality and correspond one-to-one with the sub-conductive lines 31, so that each conductive connecting member can form an electrical connection with the corresponding sub-conductive line 31, and then an electrical connection is formed between the corresponding sub-touch layer 21, the sub-conductive line 31 and the conductive connecting member, so that the touch electrical signal of each sub-touch layer 21 is transmitted to the circuit board 4, thereby improving the reliability of the touch electrical signal transmission.

[0070] Optionally, the sub-touch layer 21 can be used for touch control switch, and can also be used for touch control gear adjustment. For example, when the ITO film assembly 100 is used in the air conditioner 1000, the sub-touch layer 21 can be used for touch control of turning the air conditioner 1000 on or off, and the sub-touch layer 21 can also be used for touch control of the wind force, wind direction, air conditioning mode, etc. of the air conditioner 1000.

[0071] For example, a plurality of spaced-apart sub-touch layers 21 work independently, and different sub-touch layers 21 are connected to different contact points, so that the sub-touch layers 21 can independently control different modules, which is beneficial to improving the touch accuracy and stability of the touch film.

[0072] In some embodiments of the utility model, the conductive wire 3 is a silver paste wire. Since the silver paste wire layer has good conductivity and adhesion, it is beneficial for the conductive wire 3 to be stably attached to the film substrate 1, and it is beneficial to improve the stability and reliability of the electrical connection relationship between the touch layer 2 and the conductive wire 3, and between the conductive wire 3 and the circuit board 4, for example, it can improve the efficiency and stability of the electrical signal transmission between the touch layer 2 and the conductive wire 3, and between the conductive wire 3 and the circuit board 4.

[0073] The air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0074] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the present utility model, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, it includes a panel assembly 200 and an ITO film assembly 100 .

[0075] The panel assembly 200 has a light-transmitting portion, the ITO film assembly 100 is located inside the panel assembly 200 and is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting portion, and the touch layer 2 is located on a side of the film substrate 1 away from the light-transmitting portion.

[0076] Therefore, by forming a light-transmitting portion on the panel assembly 200, light is allowed to pass through, so that the user can clearly see the display content inside the panel assembly 200, and by the ITO film assembly 100 being located on the inner side of the panel assembly 200 and arranged opposite to the light-transmitting portion, it is convenient for the user to observe the relevant display information of the ITO film assembly 100 from the light-transmitting portion and perform touch operations on the ITO film assembly 100.

[0077] Specifically, when a user performs a touch operation on the ITO film assembly 100, the touch layer 2 can receive a touch electrical signal, and the conductive wire 3 transmits the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4. The processor 5 converts the touch electrical signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal and outputs it to the circuit board 81 of the display module 300. The digital signal has a stronger anti-interference ability and a longer transmission distance. The circuit board 81 can be arranged at a position far away from the processor 5, and still ensures that the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2 is smoothly transmitted to the circuit board 81, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the received touch electrical signal, and then ensuring the sensitivity of the touch function of the ITO film assembly 100, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 1000.

[0078] At the same time, the ITO film assembly 100 is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting portion to prevent other positions of the panel assembly 200 from covering the ITO film assembly 100, and the ITO film assembly 100 is located on the inner side of the panel assembly 200, so that the panel assembly 200 plays a certain protective role on the ITO film assembly 100, thereby improving reliability, and the touch layer 2 is located on the side of the film substrate 1 away from the light-transmitting portion, thereby effectively protecting the touch layer 2 and ensuring the reliability and sensitivity of the touch function of the ITO film assembly 100.

[0079] It should be noted that the outer side of the panel bracket 72 refers to the side observed by the user during use, and the inner side of the panel bracket 72 refers to the side that cannot be observed by the user during use. The two sides in the thickness direction of the diaphragm substrate 1 are respectively the first side 11 and the second side 12. The first side 11 is opposite to the inner side of the panel bracket 72, and the second side 12 is opposite to the outer side of the panel bracket 72.

[0080] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, an ITO film component 100 is provided. The ITO film component 100 is located on the inner side of the panel component 200 and is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting portion. The touch layer 2 is located on the side of the film substrate 1 away from the light-transmitting portion. The touch layer 2 can receive touch electrical signals. The conductive wire 3 transmits the touch electrical signals received by the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4. The processor 5 converts the touch electrical signals transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into digital signals and outputs them to the circuit board 81 of the display module 300. The digital signals have stronger anti-interference ability and longer transmission distance. The circuit board 81 can be arranged at a position far away from the processor 5, and still ensure that the touch electrical signals received by the touch layer 2 are smoothly transmitted to the circuit board 81, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the received touch electrical signals, thereby ensuring the sensitivity of the touch function of the ITO film component 100, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 1000.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the panel assembly 200 includes a panel 71 and a panel bracket 72. The panel 71 has a light-transmitting portion, the panel 71 is mounted on the panel bracket 72, and the panel bracket 72 is formed with an escape opening 721 for avoiding the ITO film assembly 100. Thus, the panel bracket 72 provides support for the panel 71, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the panel assembly 200. At the same time, the panel bracket 72 is formed with an escape opening 721 for avoiding the ITO film assembly 100, so as to avoid the panel bracket 72 from blocking the ITO film assembly 100, and ensure that the user can observe the relevant display information of the ITO film assembly 100 from the light-transmitting portion and perform touch operations on the ITO film assembly 100. Optionally, the panel 71 is glass.

[0082] In some embodiments, the panel bracket 72 is connected to the panel 71 by a tape or a glue layer. By connecting the panel bracket 72 to the panel 71 by a tape or a glue layer, the connection relationship between the panel bracket 72 and the panel 71 is simple, and the panel bracket 72 and the panel 71 are easy to assemble and connect.

[0083] In some embodiments, the panel support 72 has a glue groove on one side facing the ITO film assembly 100, and the panel support 72 and the die substrate 1 are connected via the colloid in the glue groove. Thus, the glue groove provides an installation area for the colloid, so that the colloid can be more evenly distributed between the panel support 72 and the die substrate 1, thereby improving the strength of the adhesive connection between the two and effectively reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 14As shown, the air conditioner 1000 further includes a display module 300. The display module 300 is located on the side of the touch layer 2 away from the film substrate 1 and is arranged opposite to the ITO film assembly 100. The display module 300 is connected to the panel assembly 200 and includes a circuit board 81, and the circuit board 81 is connected to the circuit board 4. It can be understood that the touch layer 2 receives the touch electrical signal, the conductive wire 3 transmits the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4, and the processor 5 converts the touch electrical signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal and outputs it to the circuit board 81 of the display module 300, so that an electrical connection relationship is established between the circuit board 81 and the ITO film assembly 100.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, the circuit board 4 is provided with a first terminal 41, the circuit board 81 is provided with a second terminal 811, and the first terminal 41 and the second terminal 811 are connected by a wire 9. Thus, the touch layer 2 receives the touch electrical signal, the conductive wire 3 transmits the touch electrical signal received by the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4, the processor 5 converts the touch electrical signal transmitted from the touch layer 2 to the circuit board 4 into a digital signal and outputs it to the circuit board 81 of the display module 300, the output end of the processor 5 transmits the digital signal to the first terminal 41, and the digital signal is transmitted to the circuit board 81 via the first terminal 41, the wire 9 and the second terminal 811, so as to further ensure the reliability of signal transmission.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, the display module 300 further includes a reflective cover 82 and a display light board 83. The reflective cover 82 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 81 facing the ITO film assembly 100 and is connected to the circuit board 81, the display light board 83 is located in the reflective cover 82 and is connected to the inner wall of the reflective cover 82, and the display light board 83 is conductively connected to the circuit board 81.

[0087] Thus, the display light board 83 is conductively connected to the circuit board 81, the circuit board 81 is used to control the opening, closing or display content of the display light board 83, and the display light board 83 is used to display images. The display module 300 is located on the side of the touch layer 2 away from the film substrate 1 and is arranged opposite to the ITO film assembly 100, and the reflective cover 82 is covered on the side of the circuit board 81 facing the ITO film assembly 100, so that the user can see the image displayed by the display light board 83 through the light-transmitting portion.

[0088] At the same time, the reflective cavity reduces or avoids the emission of light from the display light board 83, which is beneficial to enhancing the utilization rate of the light from the display light board 83 and improving the display brightness and uniformity of the display module 300.

The display box 84 is open toward one side of the ITO film assembly 100 . The circuit board 81 is located in the display box 84 and connected to the display box 84 .

[0092] Thus, the display box 84 protects the circuit board 81, the reflector 82 and the display light board 83, thereby improving the reliability of the display module 300 as a whole. At the same time, the display box 84 is opened toward one side of the ITO film assembly 100, so that the user can see the image displayed by the display light board 83 through the light-transmitting portion, and the ITO film assembly 100 is conveniently electrically connected to the circuit board 81, so that the layout of the air conditioner 1000 is more reasonable. In addition, the display box 84 is connected to the panel assembly 200 to achieve the fixation of the display box 84, and the circuit board 81 is connected to the display box 84 to achieve the fixation of the circuit board 81, thereby further improving the reliability of the display module 300 and the air conditioner 1000.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, the circuit board 81 is connected to the display box 84 by a snap-fit ​​connection. Thus, the circuit board 81 and the display box 84 are detachably connected by such an arrangement, which facilitates the maintenance and disassembly of the circuit board 81.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the two opposite ends of the display box 84 is snap-fitted with the panel assembly 200, and the other end is connected to the panel assembly 200 via a fastener. Thus, the connection between the display box 84 and the panel assembly 200 is achieved through such an arrangement.

[0095] Alternatively, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, one of the two opposite ends of the display box 84 has a protrusion 841, and the other end has a first fastening hole 842. The panel bracket 72 is formed with a slot 723 that matches the protrusion 841 and a second fastening hole 722 that matches the first fastening hole 842. The fasteners are sequentially inserted through the first fastening hole 842 and the second fastening hole 722. Therefore, during the connection process between the display box 84 and the panel assembly 200, the protrusion 841 can first be inserted into the slot 723 to achieve pre-positioning of the two, and then the fasteners can be used to achieve fixed connection between the two.
