The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0037] In the related art, in order to satisfy the function of simultaneously realizing touch control and button control, the touch panel and the mechanical button panel are usually arranged at different positions. This not only makes the structure of the device relatively complex, but also requires operating the touch panel and the mechanical buttons at different positions, which is inconvenient for users. This application provides a control board to solve the above technical problems.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of one perspective of the control board of the present utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of another perspective of the control board of the present utility model. Figure 3 It is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of the control board of the present utility model.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment provides a control board, which can be applied to a remote control. The remote control includes a housing and a control board arranged on the housing.

[0040] A wireless transmission module and a power supply are also arranged in the remote control. The wireless transmission module and the power supply are respectively electrically connected to the control board. The power supply provides electrical energy for the control board, and the instructions or signals generated by the control board are sent to the corresponding electronic device through the wireless module.

[0041] In some embodiments, the remote control can also send instructions or signals through a data cable.

[0042] It should be noted that the control board of this application can be used not only on remote controls, but also on other electronic devices.

[0043] In this embodiment, the control board may include a touch panel 100. The touch panel 100 allows users to interact with the device through input methods such as touch, gestures, or a pen, so as to output corresponding instructions or signals. The touch panel 100 is used to detect and respond to the touch operations of users.

[0044] In one embodiment, the touch panel 100 is a resistive touch panel 100, which is composed of two layers of flexible transparent conductive films. There is a small gap between the two conductive films, forming a uniform electric field. When the user touches the screen, the finger will press between the two conductive films, changing the electric field distribution, so that the touch position can be determined by measuring the current or voltage.

[0045] In another embodiment, the touch panel 100 is a capacitive touch panel 100, which is composed of a layer of glass or plastic substrate covered with a layer of conductive material. When the user touches the screen, since the human body is conductive, the touch position will change the electric field distribution on the screen, and the touch position is determined by detecting this change in the electric field.

[0046] In some embodiments, the touch panel 100 is a surface acoustic wave touch panel 100, which consists of a transmitter and a receiver located on both sides of the screen and detects touches through ultrasonic waves propagating on the surface. When the user touches the screen, the propagation of the ultrasonic waves is disturbed, and the receiver can detect this disturbance and determine the touch position.

[0048] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in this embodiment, the control board further includes a main chip, which is electrically connected to the touch panel 100. The user performs touch operations on the touch panel 100 with a finger, a stylus, or other touch devices. Depending on the type of the touch panel 100, the touch operation will cause changes in physical quantities such as resistance values, electric field changes, or acoustic wave changes. The detected touch signals are transmitted to the main chip. The main chip processes the received signals, including determining the touch position, recognizing touch gestures, etc. The processed data is converted into corresponding operation instructions, such as moving the cursor, performing a click, gesture recognition, etc. The processed operation instructions are transmitted to the operating system or application program of the device to trigger corresponding operations or functions.

[0049] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the touch panel 100 is electrically connected to a touch chip, and the touch chip is electrically connected to the main chip. The touch chip is used to recognize the actions of the touch panel 100, confirm corresponding instructions according to the corresponding actions, and transmit the instruction signals to the main chip.

[0050] Refer to again Figures 1 to 3 , the control board further includes a mechanical button 200, and the mechanical button 200 is arranged on the touch surface of the touch panel 100 (the touch surface is the surface for contacting the user to recognize actions). The mechanical button 200 and the touch panel 100 are arranged together, and the mechanical button 200 is located within the coverage of the touch panel 100, so as to be able to implement the touch function through the touch panel 100 and the mechanical button 200 function through the mechanical button 200 within the enclosed range of the touch panel 100. Through the arrangement of the mechanical button 200 on the touch surface of the touch panel 100, the touch function and the mechanical button 200 function can be implemented at the same position, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0051] In some embodiments, in a dark environment, it is not easy to implement the function of the touch panel 100. The user can touch the mechanical button 200 to identify the corresponding button, so as to operate the corresponding instructions in the dark environment through the operation of the mechanical button 200.
