[0089] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a panel switch 100 for controlling an external device. The panel switch 100 includes a housing 10, a circuit board 20, a rotating member 30, a display member 40, and a touch control assembly 50. Exemplarily, the external device may be a smart home device, such as a smart air conditioner, a smart light, a smart curtain, a water heater, a floor heating device, etc.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11, the circuit board 20 is disposed within the receiving groove 11, and the circuit board 20 is powered on through the bottom case. The rotating member 30 includes an adjusting body 31, a supporting body 32, and a knob body 33. The adjusting body 31 is disposed on the circuit board 20 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The adjusting body 31 extends out of the receiving groove 11. The supporting body 32 is connected to the adjusting body 31. The knob body 33 is sleeved on the adjusting body 31 and is rotatable relative to the supporting body 32. When the knob body 33 rotates around the supporting body 32, the adjusting body 31 can transmit a signal to the circuit board 20 to adjust the function parameters of the external device. One end of the display member 40 passes through the supporting body 32 and the adjusting body 31 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The other end of the display member 40 is embedded in one end of the supporting body 32 facing away from the circuit board 20. The display member 40 is used to display and adjust the function parameter values of the external device. The touch control assembly 50 includes a panel member 51 and a touch control 52. The panel member 51 is sleeved on the knob body 33 and is connected to one side of the housing 10 facing the display member 40. The touch control 52 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The touch control 52 is configured to output a signal under the action of an external force applied to the panel member 51, so as to control the circuit board 20 to turn on or off a preset function of the external device and adjust the working state of the external device after receiving the signal. Exemplarily, the circuit board 20 may be a PCB circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, printed circuit board).

[0092] When the above-mentioned panel switch 100 is in use, the function parameter values of the external device can be adjusted through the rotating member 30, the touch control 52, and the display member 40, realizing the integration of control functions, avoiding the user from using multiple control switches, and thus improving the operation convenience.

[0093] Please refer to FIGS. 2 Figure 3 and Figure 4 . In some embodiments, the adjusting body 31 includes a fixing portion 311 and a rotating portion 312. The fixing portion 311 is disposed on the circuit board 20 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The fixing portion 311 is snap-fitted with the supporting body 32. The rotating portion 312 is sleeved on the fixing portion 311 and is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 311. The rotating portion 312 is snap-fitted with the knob body 33. When the knob body 33 drives the rotating portion 312 to rotate around the fixing portion 311, the adjusting body 31 can transmit a signal to the circuit board 20.

[0094] Thus, when the operator turns the knob body 33, the rotating portion 312 is driven by the knob body 33 to rotate around the fixing portion 311. At this time, the adjusting body 31 sends a signal to the circuit board 20, so that the main control chip on the circuit board 20 receives the signal and controls the adjustment of the function parameters of the external device to realize the function of adjusting the working state of the external device.

[0095] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the adjusting body 31 is an encoder, which is any encoder that can generate an electrical signal according to the rotation amplitude for the circuit board 20 to adjust the functional parameter value of the external device, for example, it can be a capacitive encoder, a photoelectric encoder, a magnetic encoder, etc. When the adjusting body 31 is a capacitive encoder, a variable capacitor is formed between the metal structure on the rotating part 312 and the electrode on the fixed part 311. When the rotating part 312 rotates driven by the knob body 33, the capacitance value changes and generates an electrical signal. The circuit board 20 receives the electrical signal generated and controls the external device to adjust the functional parameter value.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the knob body 33 includes a rotating portion 331 and a knob portion 332. The rotating portion 331 is sleeved on the rotating portion 312 and is clamped with the rotating portion 312. The knob portion 332 is provided with a receiving hole 3321 and is clamped with the rotating portion 331. The receiving hole 3321 receives the rotating portion 331, the support body 32 and the display element 40. The knob portion 332 is used to drive the rotating portion 312 to rotate synchronously when the rotating portion 331 rotates.

[0097] Thus, when the operator turns the knob 332, the knob 332 drives the rotating part 312 to rotate synchronously through the rotating part 331, so that the adjusting body 31 outputs a signal to achieve the function of adjusting the functional parameter value of the external device.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the knob portion 332 is further provided with an annular protrusion 3322, which is protruding from the hole wall of the receiving hole 3321 and is coaxially arranged with the receiving hole 3321, and the rotating portion 331 is located on the side of the annular protrusion 3322 facing the circuit board 20. The support body 32 is penetrated through the receiving hole 3321 and is located on the side of the annular protrusion 3322 away from the rotating portion 331, one end of the support body 32 is clamped with the fixing portion 311, and the other end of the support body 32 is connected to the display element 40, and a plurality of support protrusions 321 are provided on the side of the support body 32 facing the annular protrusion 3322, and the plurality of support protrusions 321 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the support body 32, and all abut against the annular protrusion 3322.

[0099] ​​Thus, when the knob part 332 drives the rotating part 312 to rotate through the rotating part 331, since the support body 32 is clamped with the fixing part 311 arranged on the circuit board 20, the operation stability of the panel switch 100 is improved to a certain extent. In addition, the support body 32 abuts against the annular protrusion 3322 on the knob part 332 through a plurality of support protrusions 321, so that the plurality of support protrusions 321 can support the knob part 332 when the knob part 332 rotates, thereby effectively reducing the swing amplitude of the knob body 33 during the rotation process, and further being beneficial to improving the operation stability and accuracy of the panel switch 100.

[0100] In this embodiment, the plurality of support protrusions 321 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the support body 32. When the plurality of support protrusions 321 are three, the three support protrusions 321 are arranged in an equilateral triangle. When the plurality of support protrusions 321 are four, the four support protrusions 321 are arranged in a square. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the plurality of support protrusions 321 in supporting the support body 32.

[0101] In this embodiment, the plurality of support protrusions 321 are spherical protrusions, and one end of each support protrusion 321 close to the annular protrusion 3322 is an arc surface. Thus, it is beneficial to reduce the friction force between the plurality of support protrusions 321 and the annular protrusion 3322, and further beneficial to improving the smoothness of screwing the knob body 33.

[0102] In this embodiment, the side of the annular protrusion 3322 facing the plurality of support protrusions 321 is a mirror surface or is polished. Thus, it is beneficial to reduce the friction force between the plurality of support protrusions 321 and the annular protrusion 3322, and further beneficial to improving the smoothness of screwing the support body 32.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, a plurality of anti-slip grooves 3323 are formed on the outer side of the knob part 332. The plurality of anti-slip grooves 3323 extend along the axis of the knob part 332 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the knob part 332. Thus, it is beneficial to increase the friction force when the operator screws the knob part 332, and at the same time increase the aesthetic degree of the knob part 332.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the fixing portion 311 is provided with a connecting hole 3111, which penetrates the fixing portion 311 along the direction from the circuit board 20 to the display element 40 and communicates with the receiving groove 11. The support body 32 is provided with a connecting hole 322 and an assembly groove 323 which are connected. The connecting hole 322 is coaxially arranged and connected with the connecting hole 3111, and the assembly groove 323 is arranged on the side of the support body 32 away from the circuit board 20. The display element 40 includes a display body 41 and a connecting body 42. The display body 41 is embedded in the assembly groove 323 and located in the receiving hole 3321. The connecting body 42 passes through the connecting hole 322 and the connecting hole 3111 in sequence and extends into the receiving groove 11. The connecting body 42 is electrically connected to the display body 41 and the circuit board 20 respectively. The display body 41 displays and controls the function parameter value of the external device through the connecting body 42 and the circuit board 20 electrically connected to the connecting body 42. Exemplarily, the connecting body 42 can be a flexible circuit board.

[0105] In this way, the display body 41 is received by the assembly groove 323, so that the display body 41 is embedded and positioned in the support body 32, so that the support body 32 stably carries the display body 41, thereby improving the bearing stability of the support body 32. In addition, by receiving the connecting body 42 through the connecting hole 3111 that is respectively connected to the receiving groove 11 and the placement hole 322, the fixing portion 311 and the support body 32 can provide an installation channel for the connecting body 42, which is beneficial to the assembly operation of the panel switch 100.

[0106] It should be noted that the display body 41 can be any display part, display block or similar display panel that can display the functional parameter value of the external device, such as a touch screen. The circuit board 20 sends an electrical signal to the touch screen to display the functional parameter value of the external device. At the same time, the operator can also adjust the functional parameter value of the external device and turn on or off the preset function through the touch screen electrically connected to the circuit board 20.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, a plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 are provided on one side of the rotating portion 331 facing the panel member 51, and the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating portion 331.

[0108] In this way, by convexly providing a plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 on the side of the rotating portion 331 facing the panel member 51, when the operator turns the knob portion 332 to drive the rotating portion 312 to rotate through the rotating portion 331, the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 can support the rotating portion 331, thereby further reducing the swing amplitude of the rotating portion 331 and the knob portion 332 engaged with the rotating portion 331 during the rotation process, and further facilitating the improvement of the stability and accuracy of the control panel switch 100.

[0109] ​​​​In this embodiment, the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 are spherical protrusions, and the end surface of each supporting protrusion 3311 away from the annular protrusion 3322 is an arc surface. This is conducive to reducing the friction between the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 and the panel member 51, thereby improving the smoothness of screwing the knob body 33 and reducing the sound generated when screwing the knob body 33.

[0110] In this embodiment, the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating part 331. When there are three supporting protrusions 3311, the three supporting protrusions 3311 are arranged in an equilateral triangle array. When there are four supporting protrusions 3311, the four supporting protrusions 3311 are arranged in a square array. This helps to improve the stability of the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311 in supporting the rotating part 331.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the shell 10 includes a middle frame 12 and a rear shell 13, the middle frame 12 has a glue-dispensing surface 121 and a bearing surface 122 and is provided with a receiving groove 11, a glue overflow groove 123 and a mounting hole 124, the glue-dispensing surface 121 is arranged on the side of the middle frame 12 facing the panel member 51, the bearing surface 122 is arranged around the glue-dispensing surface 121, the glue overflow groove 123 is arranged around the glue-dispensing surface 121 and is located between the glue-dispensing surface 121 and the bearing surface 122, the mounting hole 124 penetrates the glue-dispensing surface 121 and is connected to the receiving groove 11, the mounting hole 124 is used to accommodate the knob body 33, the rear shell 13 is covered on the receiving groove 11 and is connected to the side of the middle frame 12 away from the panel member 51, and the rear shell 13 is used to carry the circuit board 20 accommodated in the receiving groove 11. The panel member 51 includes a panel body 511 and a glue layer 512. The panel body 511 is covered on the bearing surface 122 and is provided with a touch area 5111 corresponding to the touch part 52 and a limiting hole 5112 corresponding to the mounting hole 124. The panel body 511 is in contact with the touch part 52. The limiting hole 5112 is used to accommodate the knob body 33. The glue layer 512 is filled between the panel body 511 and the glue surface 121 and is connected to the glue surface 121 and the panel body 511 respectively.

[0112] In this way, when assembling the panel switch 100, the glue can be first spread on the glue-dispensing surface 121, and then the panel body 511 is placed on the bearing surface 122 and the panel body 511 is appropriately pressed. During this process, part of the glue squeezed by the panel body 511 will flow. In the case of too much glue, the excess glue will flow into the overflow glue groove 123, so that the thickness of the formed glue-dispensing layer 512 is uniform, so that the connection between the panel body 511 and the middle frame 12 is uniform, which is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the panel switch 100. In addition, the overflow glue groove 123 can prevent the glue from flowing to the side of the middle frame 12, simplifying the assembly process of the panel switch 100, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the panel switch 100.

[0113] In addition, the bearing surface 122 and the glue dispensing surface 121 are not on the same horizontal plane. Specifically, the bearing surface 122 is higher than the glue dispensing surface 121, that is, the height of the outer wall of the overflow glue groove 123 is higher than the height of the inner wall. In this way, even if the glue flows into the overflow glue groove 123, no excess glue will be seen after the panel body 511 is installed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the panel switch 100.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the middle frame 12 includes a bearing plate 125, a limiting portion 126 and a side plate 127. The bearing plate 125 has a glue dispensing surface 121 and is provided with a mounting hole 124. The limiting portion 126 is disposed on the glue dispensing surface 121 and is disposed around the mounting hole 124. The limiting portion 126 is adapted to the limiting hole 5112, and the limiting portion 126 is inserted into the limiting hole 5112 to limit and position the panel body 511. The side plate 127 is connected to the bearing plate 125 and the rear shell 13 respectively. The side plate 127 is disposed around the bearing plate 125 and has a bearing surface 122. The overflowing glue groove 123 is located between the side plate 127 and the bearing plate 125. The side plate 127 and the bearing plate 125 are surrounded by a side away from the glue dispensing layer 512 to form a receiving groove 11. In some embodiments, the load-bearing plate 125 and the side plate 127 are an integrated structure, which simplifies the processing of the middle frame 12 and helps reduce the processing cost of the middle frame 12.

[0115] In this way, by setting the side plate 127 around the carrier plate 125, the manufacturing cost of the middle frame 12 can be reduced, and the receiving groove 11 can be stably formed to accommodate the circuit board 20. In addition, by inserting the limiting portion 126 adapted to the limiting hole 5112 into the limiting hole 5112, the limiting portion 126 can position the panel body 511 to the preset position on the carrier plate 125, avoiding the panel body 511 from deviating from the preset position, which is conducive to the stable connection of the panel body 511 to the carrier plate 125.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 ​, in some embodiments, the touch control 52 includes a touch body 521, a light emitter 522, and a light transmissive body 523. One end of the touch body 521 is disposed on the circuit board 20 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The other end of the touch body 521 extends out of the receiving groove 11 and abuts against the panel body 511. The touch body 521 is provided with a receiving hole 5211 along the direction from the housing 10 to the display member 40, and the receiving hole 5211 corresponds to the touch area 5111. The light emitter 522 is disposed on the circuit board 20 and located within the receiving hole 5211. The light emitter 522 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and is configured to emit light. The light transmissive body 523 is disposed on the side of the panel body 511 facing the housing 10 and corresponds to the touch area 5111. The light emitted by the light emitter 522 is transmitted to the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511 through the light transmissive body 523. Exemplarily, the light emitter 522 may be a small electric bulb or a small light bulb.

[0117] Thus, by arranging the touch body 521 to abut against the panel member 51 and electrically connecting it to the circuit board 20, when an operator touches the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511, the touch body 521 sends a signal to the circuit board 20, and the circuit board 20 controls the external device to turn on or off the preset function of the external device based on the signal sent by the touch body 521. Additionally, by electrically connecting the light emitter 522 to the circuit board 20 and corresponding it to the touch area 5111, the light emitter 522 can emit light to the touch area 5111 on the panel body 511, facilitating the operator to operate on the touch area 5111 in a dark or poorly lit environment, improving the operation convenience and accuracy. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light transmissive body 523 is a light homogenizing plate, which can evenly disperse the light emitted by the light emitter 522, making the light emitted by the light emitter 522 softer and more evenly distributed in the touch area 5111. Consequently, the light emitted by the light emitter 522 is stably transmitted to the touch area 5111 of the panel member 51 through the light transmissive body 523, facilitating the operator to touch the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511.

[0118] Specifically, in this embodiment, the touch body 521 can be a conductive foam. Since the circuit board 20, the conductive foam, and the panel body 511 are regarded as a whole, the charges carried by them are in a balanced state, and the operator has static electricity. When the operator touches the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511, the balance state of the charges will be broken, causing the resistance value or charge value of the conductive foam to change. The electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors, or pressure sensors) connected to the conductive foam on the circuit board 20 can detect the change in the resistance value or capacitance value and convert it into an electrical signal. Thus, the microcontroller of the circuit board 20 will execute corresponding programs based on the electrical signal formed by the conversion, and then control the external device electrically connected to the circuit board 20 to turn on or off the preset function. In other embodiments, the touch body 521 can also be a pressure sensor. The touch body 521 sends an electrical signal to the circuit board 20 based on the force applied by the operator to the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511, so that the microcontroller / master control chip of the circuit board 20 will execute corresponding programs based on the received electrical signal, and then control the external device electrically connected to the circuit board 20 to turn on or off the preset function.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the number of the touch areas 5111 and the touch controls 52 is multiple. The multiple touch areas 5111 are evenly arranged around the support body 32 on the panel body 511, and the multiple touch controls 52 correspond to the multiple touch areas 5111 one by one and are all arranged on the circuit board 20.

[0120] In this way, by setting multiple touch areas 5111 and multiple touch controls 52, the control functions of the panel switch 100 can be added, which is beneficial to improving the integration of the functions of the panel switch 100 and facilitating the user to perform function control operations.

[0121] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the panel body 511 is a glass plate, and the glass plate can display the light emitted by the light emitter 522. However, the light-transmitting and transparent characteristics of the glass plate are not conducive to the light emitted by the light emitter 522 being distributed in the touch area 5111, and the specific structures of the housing 10 and other components are revealed, reducing the aesthetic appearance of the panel switch 100. Further, in this embodiment, a layer of ink is coated on the surface of the panel body 511. The ink can be on the upper surface of the panel body 511 or on the lower surface of the panel body 511. The ink coated on the panel body 511 can block the housing 10 and other components, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetic appearance of the panel switch 100. At the same time, it can prevent the light emitted by the light emitter 522 from emitting from the side of the panel body 511 and affecting its light distribution in the touch area 5111. Furthermore, the light emitted by the light emitter 522 can be accurately and evenly distributed in the touch area 5111 to improve the operation convenience and accuracy of the panel switch 100.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 6 , the carrier plate 125 is provided with a plurality of avoidance holes 1251. The plurality of avoidance holes 1251 are arranged around the mounting hole 124 and respectively correspond to the plurality of touch controls 52 one by one. Each avoidance hole 1251 penetrates through the carrier plate 125 and communicates with the receiving groove 11. The plurality of avoidance holes 1251 are used to avoid the corresponding touch controls 52 respectively.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the side of the panel body 511 facing away from the housing 10 has a smooth surface 5113, and the smooth surface 5113 is in sliding contact with the plurality of supporting protrusions 3311.

[0124] In this way, by providing the above-mentioned smooth surface 5113, the panel body 511 can be in sliding contact with the supporting protrusions 3311 through the smooth surface 5113, reducing the friction between the panel body 511 and the supporting protrusions 3311, and avoiding the long-term friction and mutual damage between the supporting protrusions 3311 and the panel member 51 driven by the rotating part 331, thereby improving the service life of the panel switch 100.

[0125] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the panel switch 100 further includes a vibration member 60. The vibration member 60 is disposed in the receiving groove 11 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The vibration member 60 receives the touch information of the touch control 52 through the circuit board 20 and vibrates based on the touch information of the touch control 52. Exemplarily, the vibration member 60 can be a vibration motor.

[0126] In this way, by providing the above-mentioned vibration member 60, when an operator touches the touch area 5111 of the panel body 511, the touch control 52 forms touch information and sends a signal to the circuit board 20, so that the circuit board 20 controls an external device to turn on or off a preset function of the external device. At the same time, the main control chip of the circuit board 20 sends a signal to the vibration member 60 to control the vibration member 60 to vibrate based on the touch information of the touch control 52, so that the operator receives the feedback that the touch control 52 has been triggered, facilitating the operator to perform adjustment operations on the preset function.

[0127] In summary, in the panel switch 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, by providing the adjusting body 31 electrically connected to the circuit board 20, an operator can rotate the knob body 33 relative to the support body 32, so that the adjusting body 31 transmits a signal to the circuit board 20, and the functional parameter value of the external device is adjusted through the circuit board 20 electrically connected to the external device. By providing the touch control member 52 electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and abutting against the panel member 51, an operator can touch the touch control area 5111 corresponding to the touch control member 52 on the panel member 51, so that the touch control member 52 turns on or off the preset function of the external device through the circuit board 20 electrically connected to the external device. By providing the display member 40 on the support body 32 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20, an operator can control the working state of the external device by operating the display member 40, thereby integrating the control functions of the knob, touch screen, and touch button, avoiding the user from using multiple control switches, and further improving the operation convenience.

[0128] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
