[0029] It should be understood that although terms such as upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc. appear in this text to describe various components, these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the components from each other for easy understanding, rather than to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0030] As Figure 1-8 shown, a touch structure includes a housing 1, a control board 2 connected to the housing 1, and a control elastic sheet 3 disposed between the housing 1 and the control board 2.

[0031] Specifically, an IMC layer 4 is formed on the housing 1, and one end of the control elastic sheet 3 is connected to the IMC layer 4, and the other end is connected to the control board 2.

[0032] By using the IMC process to set the IMC layer 4 on the housing 1, and using the control elastic sheet 3 to connect the IMC layer 4 and the control sheet, replacing the traditional flexible cable with the control elastic sheet 3, and using the control elastic sheet 3 as a medium to conduct the circuit between the IMC film and the circuit board, the entire matching process is greatly simplified, and it can be adapted to an automated production line to improve production efficiency.

[0033] As Figure 1-8 shown, for a further explanation of the implementation manner of the control elastic sheet 3 in this embodiment, wherein, the control elastic sheet 3 is a metal elastic sheet, the control elastic sheet 3 includes a main body 101, and several pairs of elastic feet 102 disposed on both sides of the main body 101, and trigger points 103 that are in contact with the elastic brackets are provided on the IMC layer 4 and the control board 2.

[0034] Among them, the control elastic sheet 3 further includes a connecting portion 115 embedded in the main body 101, and the elastic feet 102 are disposed on both sides of the connecting portion 115 and protrude from the main body 101.

[0035] During implementation, the IMC layer 4 and the control board 2 use the control elastic sheet 3 as a medium to realize the circuit channel between the IMC layer 4 and the control board 2, so that the control elastic sheet 3 replaces the traditional flexible cable, simplifies the entire matching process, and can be adapted to an automated production line to improve production efficiency.

[0036] Further, a plurality of light-emitting beads 107 are provided on the control board 2. During daily use, the housing 1 can be pressed to make the IMC layer 4 deform downward to press the elastic feet 102 on the control elastic sheet 3, so that the circuit between the IMC layer 4 and the control board 2 is connected, so that the control board 2 drives the light-emitting beads 107 to emit light to realize the control of the ceiling lamp.

[0037] As Figure 1-8 shown, for a further explanation of the installation implementation manner of the control elastic sheet 3 in this embodiment, wherein, a light-shielding bracket 5 is further disposed between the housing 1 and the control board 2, and the control elastic sheet 3 is clamped on the light-shielding bracket 5.

[0038] The light-shielding bracket 5 can shield the lamp beads on the control board 2, improving the lighting effect, and can fix and limit the control elastic piece 3, ensuring the stability of the control elastic piece 3 during use.

[0039] Specifically, a clamping groove 104 for placing the control elastic piece 3 is formed on the light-shielding bracket 5, and several abutting protrusions 105 are formed on the inner wall of the clamping groove 104. During the installation of the control elastic piece 3, the main body 101 of the control elastic piece 3 can be placed into the clamping groove 104, and the abutting protrusions 105 in the clamping groove 104 will squeeze the main body 101 from the periphery, thereby fixing the control elastic piece 3 in the clamping groove 104.

[0040] Furthermore, a clamping buckle 106 is formed on the light-shielding bracket 5, and the clamping buckle 106 abuts against the control elastic piece 3 to limit the control elastic piece 3 from disengaging from the clamping groove 104. When the control elastic piece 3 is placed into the clamping groove 104, the clamping buckle 106 will abut against the main body 101, thereby preventing the main body 101 from disengaging from the clamping groove 104 and ensuring the stability of the installation of the control elastic piece 3.

[0041] As Figure 1-8 shown, in some other embodiments, several clamping grooves 104 are provided on the light-shielding bracket 5, and the clamping grooves 104 are symmetrically arranged on the light-shielding bracket 5. Control elastic pieces 3 can be arranged in the clamping grooves 104, realizing the setting of multiple control elastic pieces 3, thereby forming multiple control areas on the housing 1 to achieve different control effects and improving the user experience.

[0042] As Figure 1-8 shown, for a further explanation of the cooperation implementation manner among the light-shielding bracket 5, the control board 2, and the housing 1 in this embodiment, the light-shielding bracket 5 is arranged on the control board 2, and several enclosed light-emitting grooves 108 are formed on the light-shielding bracket 5. The light-emitting lamp beads 107 are placed in the light-emitting grooves 108. The light-emitting grooves 108 can define the entire housing 1 into several different light-emitting areas to meet different usage requirements of users and improve the user experience.

[0043] In addition, the light-emitting lamp beads 107 include first light-emitting lamp beads 107 arranged in the light-emitting grooves 108 and second light-emitting lamp beads 107 arranged around the outer periphery of the light-shielding bracket 5, so that the entire ceiling lamp has more light-emitting modes to improve the user experience.

[0044] Specifically, an exposed groove 109 for exposing the light-emitting groove 108 is formed on the housing 1, and a light-diffusing cover 110 is inserted into the exposed groove 109. The exposed groove 109 is placed into the housing 1 to improve the stability of the cooperation between the light-shielding bracket 5 and the housing 1, and the light-diffusing cover 110 is used to improve the light-emitting effect.

[0045] Further, a limiting convex portion 111 is formed in the light-emitting groove 108, a limiting groove 112 for the limiting convex portion 111 to be inserted into is formed on the light-diffusing cover 110, a clamping convex portion 113 is formed in the light-emitting groove 108, and a clamping interface 114 for the clamping convex portion 113 to be inserted into is formed on the light-diffusing cover 110, improving the installation stability of the light-diffusing cover 110.

[0046] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation to the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
