[0036] The term "and / or" is a description of the associated relationship of an object, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B these three relationships.

[0037] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0038] To facilitate user operation and improve the user experience, a display device is usually installed on household appliances as an interface for interacting with users. Nowadays, traditional display devices or human-computer interaction devices are usually used in household appliances to display information, status, functions, etc. to users, that is, a light-emitting device is used to light up the icons in its display film respectively. However, only discrete icons can be displayed in such display devices or human-computer interaction devices with relatively low costs, and the visual effect is boring and monotonous. Without using an expensive display screen, it is difficult to present a backlight effect and improve the user's visual perception.

[0039] To solve the above technical problems, in the related art, a corresponding light guide structure is set for each icon to guide the light emitted by at least one light-emitting element to the icon. At the same time, the light guide structure can isolate the influence of internal and external light sources, so that while the icon is prominently displayed, a certain lighting effect can be achieved in other areas of the interaction interface.

[0040] However, the technical solutions adopted in the related art need to determine the specific position of the light guide structure according to the icon position. Therefore, in the case of iterative upgrade requirements for the interaction interface, it is necessary to make adjustments limited to the existing icon layout, and it is impossible to adapt to different interaction interface layout methods. In addition, since the height of the light guide structure needs to be close to the display film, there is a certain cavity between the display film and the circuit board, resulting in insufficient strength of the display film.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a light-emitting interaction component and a household appliance device. The user can query the status of the household appliance device and issue corresponding control instructions by touching the first light guide plate 10 of the light-emitting interaction component.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a light-emitting interaction component including a control module 30, a film component 20, and a first light guide plate 10. Among them, the control module 30 is used to obtain user instructions and send feedback information to realize the interaction operation with the user. The film component 20 is arranged above the control module 30 and is used to display image information. The first light guide plate 10 is arranged above the film component 20 to enhance the clarity of the image information displayed by the film component 20.

[0043] In this way, by sequentially stacking the first light guide plate 10, the diaphragm assembly 20, and the control module 30, the diaphragm assembly 20 is covered above the control module 30 to display corresponding image information. The first light guide plate 10 is covered above the diaphragm assembly 20 to prevent the clarity of the image information displayed by the diaphragm assembly 20 from being affected due to friction, dirt, or other situations.

[0044] Specifically, the light-emitting interaction component can be applied to household electrical appliances. The light-emitting interaction component is arranged on the outer shell surface of the household electrical appliance or integrated at other positions convenient for user operation, so as to facilitate the user to perform corresponding interaction operations. When the user touches the first light guide plate 10, the control module 30 determines the target image in the image information displayed by the diaphragm assembly 20 corresponding to the touched area of the user. Further, the control module 30 determines corresponding feedback information based on the target image and sends the feedback information to implement the interaction process with the user.

[0045] In some practical applications, the diaphragm assembly 20 includes a display diaphragm 21 and a light homogenizing diaphragm 22. Among them, the display diaphragm 21 is used to display image information, and the image information includes an interaction interface image. The light homogenizing diaphragm 22 is stacked with the display diaphragm 21 to improve the clarity of the image displayed by the display diaphragm 21.

[0046] Specifically, according to the different image information to be displayed by the diaphragm assembly 20, the arrangement methods of the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 are also different. When the display diaphragm 21 is placed below the light homogenizing diaphragm 22, the uniformity of the backlight below the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 can be improved, thereby improving the quality of the image display effect. When the display diaphragm 21 is placed above the light homogenizing diaphragm 22, the light reflection on the surface of the first light guide plate 10 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the quality of the image display effect. In addition, according to the user's usage requirements, at least one of the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 can be arranged above the first light guide plate and / or below the control module. Or, at least one of the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 is added above the first light guide plate and / or below the control module, and the setting method is not specifically limited herein.

[0047] In some practical applications, the materials of both the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 are PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate, polyester) films. In addition, when the corresponding image information is displayed on the display diaphragm 21 through projection technology, both the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 can be installed in a pasting manner. Taking the display diaphragm 21 being above the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 as an example, at this time, the distance between the display diaphragm 21 and the control module 30 is relatively small, and the distance between the display diaphragm 21 and the light homogenizing diaphragm 22 is also relatively small, which can effectively ensure the clarity, brightness, and other effects of the diaphragm assembly 20 for image information display.

[0048] In some practical applications, a UI interface image is printed on the display diaphragm 21. At this time, the display diaphragm 21 can be installed by insertion, that is, the PET diaphragm is fixed above the control module 30 through a special fixture or a clamping structure. In this way, the stability of the PET diaphragm installation can be ensured, and it is not easy to fall off. At the same time, since the distance between the PET diaphragm and other components is relatively stable in this installation method, the consistency of the user's visual effect can be ensured.

[0049] In some practical applications, the light-emitting interaction component further includes: a light-emitting device 40 that presents a corresponding light effect in response to the feedback information. It is used to determine a corresponding light adjustment strategy according to the feedback information or extract the light adjustment strategy included in the feedback information when the control module 30 issues the feedback information. Then the light-emitting device 40 executes the light adjustment strategy, thereby enhancing the user's visual perception during the interaction process.

[0050] Specifically, when the user touches the first light guide plate 10, the target area touched by the user is determined. According to the position information of the target area, a light adjustment strategy is determined to achieve highlighting of the target area.

[0051] Among them, the position information includes: determining the position coordinates of the target area when a coordinate system is constructed with the adjacent side of the first light guide plate 10. Or, when the first light guide plate 10 is evenly divided into regular areas, determining the specific regular area where the target area is located, so as to highlight the regular area.

[0052] The highlighting methods include: in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness in the target area to be higher than other areas. Or, in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness of the light to gradually decrease from the target area to the periphery of the first light guide plate 10. Or, in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness of the light to gradually increase from the target area to the periphery of the first light guide plate 10. Or, in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness in the target area to be lower than other areas. Or, in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness of the light to form a wave-like diffusion from the target area to the periphery of the first light guide plate 10 to further enhance the light effect. Or, in the light adjustment strategy, adjusting the brightness of the light to form a wave-like aggregation from the periphery of the first light guide plate 10 to converge towards the target area to further enhance the light effect.

[0053] In some practical applications, the light-emitting interaction component further includes: a second light guide plate, which is arranged below the diaphragm component to realize independent control of the display effect of the corresponding area of the second light guide plate. Among them, multiple second light guide plates can be provided.

[0054] In this way, the corresponding second light guide plate can be awakened based on the position clicked by the user to achieve independent interactive control of a local area. Specifically, the second light guide plate and the control module can be arranged in parallel on the same horizontal plane. Or, the second light guide plate and the control module can be arranged in an interleaved manner. In this way, when the user does not need to awaken the entire light-emitting interactive component, the second light guide plate can be used to interact with the user only in a local area, effectively reducing the energy consumption of the light-emitting interactive component while highlighting the operation area.

[0055] As Figure 2 shown, in some practical applications, the light-emitting devices 40 are symmetrically arranged on both side edges of the first light guide plate 10. After responding to the feedback information, a lighting adjustment operation is performed based on the lighting adjustment strategy. In this scenario, a lighting effect of flowing change can be achieved along the direction of the side where the light-emitting devices 40 are located, as well as a lighting change effect for the local area where the target area is located. At the same time, various different lighting effects can also be generated by simultaneously adjusting the flowing speed and flowing direction of the lights of the two light-emitting devices 40.

[0056] It should be noted here that Figure 2 only provides an application scenario where the light-emitting devices 40 are symmetrically arranged on the shorter side edges of the first light guide plate 10. In addition, the user can also symmetrically arrange the light-emitting devices 40 on the longer side edges of the first light guide plate 10 according to their own usage requirements. Or, the light-emitting devices 40 can be arranged on the adjacent side edges of the first light guide plate 10, so as to achieve the control requirement of lighting change starting from the included angle.

[0057] At the same time, symmetrically arranging the light-emitting devices 40 on both side edges of the first light guide plate 10 can effectively promote the uniformity of light distribution, improve the lighting effect and visual comfort. The light source can also be hidden to make the interactive interface more beautiful.

[0058] As Figure 3 shown, in some other practical applications, the light-emitting devices 40 are symmetrically arranged on both side edges of the control module 30. After responding to the feedback information, a lighting adjustment operation is performed based on the lighting adjustment strategy. In this scenario, a lighting effect of flowing change can be achieved along the direction of the side where the light-emitting devices 40 are located, as well as a lighting change effect for the local area where the target area is located. At the same time, various different lighting effects can also be generated by simultaneously adjusting the flowing speed and flowing direction of the lights of the two light-emitting devices 40.

[0059] It should be noted here that Figure 3Only the application scenario where the light-emitting device 40 is symmetrically arranged on the longer two sides of the control module 30 is provided. In addition, the user can also symmetrically arrange the light-emitting device 40 on the shorter two sides of the control module 30 according to their own usage requirements. Or, the light-emitting device 40 can be arranged on two adjacent sides of the control module 30, so as to realize the control requirement of the light changing starting from the included angle.

[0060] At the same time, symmetrically arranging the light-emitting device 40 on the two sides of the control module 30 can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of the light-emitting device 40. At the same time, it makes the layout of the light-emitting interaction component more compact. While improving the aesthetics of the light-emitting interaction component, it increases the convenience of connecting the control module 30 and the light-emitting device 40, thereby increasing the performance and reliability of the light-emitting device 40.

[0061] Such as Figure 4 As shown, in some other practical applications, in some embodiments, the light-emitting device 40 is arranged on one side of the control module 30. After responding to the feedback information, a light adjustment operation is performed based on the light adjustment strategy. In this scenario, a flowing light effect along the direction of the side where the light-emitting device 40 is located and a local light change effect for the target area can be achieved. Compared with the application method of setting multiple light-emitting devices 40, this application method has a lower production cost, and at the same time, it can achieve the prominent display of the touch point and a certain flowing light effect.

[0062] It should be noted here that Figure 4 Only the application scenario where the light-emitting device 40 is arranged on the shorter side of the control module 30 is provided. In addition, the user can also arrange the light-emitting device 40 on the longer side of the control module 30 according to their own usage requirements. Similarly, the user can also arrange the light-emitting device 40 on the longer side or the shorter side of the first light guide plate 10 according to their own usage requirements.

[0063] In some practical applications, the surface of the first light guide plate 10 is embossed so that the light scattering rate of the first light guide plate 10 is within a preset range. According to the size parameters of the light-emitting interaction component and / or the relevant parameters of the light-emitting device 40, the target optical performance of the first light guide plate 10 is determined. According to the target optical performance, the processing parameters of the surface of the first light guide plate 10 are determined. According to the processing parameters, the surface of the first light guide plate 10 is embossed so that the optical performance of the first light guide plate 10 meets the usage requirements of the light-emitting interaction component.

[0064] Among them, the dimension parameters include parameters such as the thickness and / or length and / or width of the first light guide plate 10. The relevant parameters of the light-emitting device 40 include the number of the light-emitting devices 40 and / or the distance value between the light-emitting device 40 and the first light guide plate 10, etc. The target optical performance includes the stability of the scattering rate and transparency, etc. The processing parameters include the density of the pixel points on the surface of the first light guide plate 10, and the size information of the pixel points. The size information includes the diameter of the pixel points, the degree of depression of the pixel points, and the distance value between the edge of the pixel points and the processing reference plane, etc.

[0065] In some practical applications, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a household electrical appliance. The household electrical appliance includes a housing and a light-emitting interaction component. Among them, the housing is provided with an installation surface, and the light-emitting interaction component is installed on the installation surface.

[0066] Optionally, the light-emitting interaction component can also be integrally arranged at a position in the room that is convenient for the user to operate. For example, at positions convenient for the user to operate such as the door body, wall, bedside table, and desk of the room, so as to meet the user's demand for centralized control of indoor household appliances.

[0067] Optionally, the household electrical appliance includes refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, cleaning appliances, kitchen appliances, electric heating appliances, cosmetic and health care appliances, audio and video appliances, etc. And intelligent household appliance products formed after introducing microprocessors, sensor technologies, and network communication technologies into household electrical appliances, etc.
