[0036] As people's living standards continue to improve, smart home devices are becoming increasingly popular, providing users with a good experience. However, smart home devices often need to be controlled through smart home control terminals.
[0037] Smart home control terminals often use high-voltage electricity to control smart home devices. In related technologies, the display screen and high-voltage module of the smart home control terminal are often directly fixed in the shell. When the user disassembles the shell for replacing the display screen or other needs, the high-voltage module will be directly exposed, which may easily pose a safety hazard.
[0038] In light of this, the present application proposes a control terminal comprising a rear cover, a high-power communication module, a cover plate, and a display module. The rear cover and the cover plate form an enclosed space within which the high-power communication module is secured. When the control terminal housing is disassembled, the high-power communication module remains contained within the enclosed space and is not directly exposed, thereby preventing potential safety hazards.
[0039] In the examples of this application, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The control terminal 1 includes a back cover 11 , a high-voltage communication module 12 , a cover plate 13 and a display module 14 .
[0040] The back cover 11 includes a receiving cavity 111 , and a first buckle 112 and a second buckle 113 are provided on an opening side of the receiving cavity 111 .
[0041] The high-voltage communication module 12 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 111 and is used for communicating with external household devices.
[0042] The cover plate 13 defines a first buckle position 131 and a second buckle position 132 .
[0043] The display module 14 includes a display screen 141 . A third buckle position 142 is provided on a side of the display module 14 away from the display screen 141 .
[0044] The back cover 11 is fixed to the cover plate 13 by the first buckle 112 and the first buckle position 131, and the second buckle 113 and the second buckle position 132 to cover the accommodating cavity 111. The first buckle 112 also passes through the first buckle position 131 and is fixed in the third buckle position 142 to fix the back cover 11 and the display module 14.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of the present application, the back cover 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and the strong current communication module 12 is fixed in the receiving cavity 111. It is understandable that the strong current communication module 12 can realize communication through a strong current line. Specifically, the strong current communication module 12 can communicate through a power carrier, and only needs to be modified to a specific waveform to transmit the signal to the external home appliance through the open flame line to realize the control of the external home appliance, and as long as the external home appliance and the control terminal 1 are in the same power grid, the signal transmission can be realized. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the opening side of the accommodating cavity 111 is provided with a first snap 112 and a second snap 113, and the cover plate 13 is provided with a first snap position 131 and a second snap position 132. Therefore, the back cover 11 can be fixed to the cover plate 13 by the first snap 112 and the first snap position 131, and the second snap 113 and the second snap position 132, so as to cover the accommodating cavity 111. Specifically, the first snap 112 of the back cover 11 is snapped into the first snap position 131 of the cover plate 13, and the second snap 113 of the back cover 11 is snapped into the second snap position 132 of the cover plate 13, so that the cover plate 13 covers the back cover 11, and the high-voltage communication module 12 is hidden in the enclosed space formed by the two. After the cover plate 13 covers the back cover 11, the first buckle 112 of the back cover 11 can continue to pass through the first buckle position 131 and snap into the third buckle position 142 on the side of the display module 14 away from the display screen 141, thereby fixing the back cover 11 and the display module 14, and the control terminal 1 is assembled. At this time, the high-voltage communication module 12 is hidden in the enclosed space formed by the back cover 11 and the cover plate 13. When the user disassembles the housing for the purpose of replacing the display screen 141 or other needs, the first buckle 112 is removed from the third buckle position 142, thereby removing the display module 14 from the control terminal 1. At this time, the high-voltage communication module 12 is still hidden in the enclosed space formed by the back cover 11 and the cover plate 13 and will not directly come into contact with the user, thereby preventing safety hazards.
[0046] The control terminal 1 provided by the technical solution of this application includes a rear cover 11, a high-power communication module 12, a cover plate 13, and a display module 14. The rear cover 11 and the cover plate 13 form an enclosed space, and the high-power communication module 12 is fixed within the enclosed space. When the housing of the control terminal 1 is disassembled, the high-power communication module 12 is still stored in the enclosed space and is not directly exposed, thereby preventing safety hazards.
[0047] The specific structure of the control terminal 1 will be described below.
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional implementations of the present application, the control terminal 1 further includes a first wireless communication module 15, and the first wireless communication module 15 is used to communicate with external home appliances.
[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, it is understood that in addition to communicating with external home appliances via the power communication module 12, the control terminal 1 may also be equipped with a first wireless communication module 15. Specifically, the external home appliances may be equipped with corresponding wireless communication modules, so that signal and data transmission between the control terminal 1 and the external home appliances can be achieved through their respective wireless communication modules. When a user operates the display module 14, the control terminal 1 can send instructions to the corresponding home appliances via the first wireless communication module 15.
[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the control terminal 1 is provided with two communication modules. When one communication module cannot communicate, for example, the power module of some household appliances is of poor quality and easily generates extremely loud noise, thereby causing great interference to the power supply network. Since the signal of the power carrier corresponding to the high-voltage communication module 12 is weak, the signal on the high-voltage communication module 12 will be overwhelmed by the noise and cannot be used normally. At this time, the control terminal 1 can realize communication through another communication module, thereby enhancing the anti-interference ability of the control terminal 1 and improving the signal transmission quality.
[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the first wireless communication module 15 is a communication antenna patch 151 , and the communication antenna patch 151 is arranged on a side of the cover 13 away from the high-voltage communication module 12 .
[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the communication antenna patch 151 is a wireless communication antenna that enables wireless communication by converting electromagnetic waves into electric current or vice versa. The communication antenna patch 151 is positioned on the cover 13, away from the high-power communication module 12. This reduces potential interference between wireless communication and high-power signals, and helps optimize antenna performance.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present application, the cover plate 13 is provided with a through hole 133 , which is connected to the accommodating cavity 111 , and the communication antenna patch 151 is connected to the circuit board in the accommodating cavity 111 through a wire passing through the through hole 133 .
[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the wire is a conductor that connects the communication antenna patch 151 and the circuit board within the accommodating cavity 111 and can be used to transmit signals. A through hole 133 is formed in the cover plate 13 and communicates with the accommodating cavity 111. Therefore, the wire can pass through the through hole 133, with one end connected to the communication antenna patch 151 and the other end connected to the circuit board within the accommodating cavity 111. The communication antenna patch 151 can be connected to the circuit board via the wire, converting received wireless signals into electrical signals, or converting electrical signals into wireless signals for transmission, thereby enabling the control terminal 1 to wirelessly communicate with other smart home devices.
[0055] In some optional implementations of the present application, the control terminal 1 further includes a second communication module, and the second communication module is used to communicate with the user terminal.
[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the second communication module is an independent communication component for communicating with a user terminal (such as a smart phone, tablet computer, etc.) of the control terminal 1. Specifically, the second communication module can be a WiFi module. The second communication module can be installed on a circuit board inside the control terminal 1. The second communication module can allow a user to remotely control smart home devices through the user terminal. For example, a user can control home appliances through a user terminal (such as a smart phone) at any time, or complete the function settings on the user terminal. The human-computer interaction properties of the control terminal 1 can be improved to better meet the personalized needs of the user.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the control terminal 1 further includes a temperature sensor 16 , and a storage groove 143 is provided on a side of the display module 14 away from the display screen 141 , and the temperature sensor 16 is disposed in the storage groove 143 .
[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor 16 can be used to detect the temperature around the control terminal 1. The temperature sensor 16 can monitor the temperature around the control terminal 1 in real time and send the data to the circuit board or other processing unit of the control terminal 1. The data can be used as a reference for the working status of the control terminal 1. Specifically, a storage slot 143 is provided on the side of the display module 14 away from the display screen 141 to accommodate the temperature sensor 16. The temperature sensor 16 is placed in the storage slot 143 on the back of the display module 14 to ensure that it can accurately detect the temperature around the control terminal 1 without affecting the normal operation of the display module 14.
[0059] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the control terminal 1 also includes an infrared detection module, which is electrically connected to the display module 14. The infrared detection module is configured to send a screen-lighting signal to the display module 14 after detecting that a user is approaching, so as to light up the display module 14.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the control terminal 1 can use an infrared sensor to detect whether the user is close to the control terminal 1, and then control the display module 14 to light up the screen, so as to reduce unnecessary power consumption and improve the user's experience. Specifically, the infrared detection module can be adjacent to or close to the display module 14 to ensure that it can accurately sense the user's approaching action, and its specific installation position can vary according to the design of the control terminal 1. The infrared detection module is electrically connected to the display module 14. When the user approaches the control terminal 1, the infrared detection module can detect this action and send a screen-lighting signal to the display module 14. After receiving the signal, the display module 14 will light up the screen, display relevant information or allow the user to perform interactive operations.
[0061] like Figure 6As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the high-voltage communication module 12 includes a pin header 121, the display module 14 includes a pin header 144, the pin header 121 and the pin header 144 are arranged correspondingly, and an avoidance opening 134 is provided on the cover 13, and the pin header 144 passes through the avoidance opening 134 and is connected to the pin header 121.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the high-voltage communication module 12 includes a pin header 121, which is a fixed point that can be used to connect to the pin header 144 of the display module 14. The display module 14 includes a pin header 144, which is a small metal needle that can be inserted into the pin header 121 to establish an electrical connection. Specifically, a relief opening 134 is provided on the cover 13. The pin header 144 of the display module 14 can pass through the relief opening 134 and be inserted into the pin header 121 of the high-voltage communication module 12. When the display module 14 is installed on the control terminal 1, the pin header 144 will pass through the relief opening 134 of the cover 13 and align with the pin header 121 of the high-voltage communication module 12. Once the pin header 144 contacts the pin header 121, an electrical connection is established between them, allowing data or power to be transmitted between the display module 14 and the high-voltage communication module 12. Furthermore, when the pin header 144 is inserted into the pin header seat 121, it can also play a role in fixing. Specifically, when the back cover 11 and the display module 14 are fixed, the pin header 144 and the pin header seat 121, as well as the first buckle 112 and the third buckle 142, can play a role in fixing. These two fixing structures work together to fix the back cover 11 and the display module 14.
[0063] In some optional embodiments of the present application, two fixing holes are provided on the cover plate 13 .
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, two fixing holes are provided on the cover plate 13. These fixing holes can be used with screws or other fasteners, such as screws passing through the fixing holes, to fix the control terminal 1 as a whole, for example, to fix the control terminal 1 on a wall.
[0065] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the number of the first clips 112 is one, the number of the second clips 113 is two, the first clips 112 and the second clips 113 are respectively arranged at the corresponding two ends of the back cover 11, and the two second clips 113 are symmetrically arranged on one end of the back cover 11.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the number of the first clips 112 is one. The number of the second clips 113 is two, and the two second clips 113 are symmetrically arranged on one end of the back cover 11. That is, the two second clips 113 are located on both sides of the same end of the back cover 11 to maintain balance and stability. The first clip 112 and the second clip 113 are respectively arranged at the corresponding two ends of the back cover 11, which helps to ensure a firm connection between the back cover 11 and the cover plate 13 or the display module 14, and prevents any looseness or instability during assembly or use. When the back cover 11 is assembled with the cover plate 13 or the display module 14, the first clip 112 and the second clip 113 will match their corresponding buckle positions and be fixed together by snapping. This design provides a reliable and firm connection method, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the entire control terminal 1.
[0067] In some optional implementations of the present application, the display screen 141 is a smart screen, and the smart screen is a smart screen that adopts the Incell process.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 141 may be a smart screen. The user can directly enter the setting interface through the smart screen to perform network configuration settings for the high-voltage communication module 12 and the first wireless communication module 15. Compared with 86 boxes of ordinary structure (such as LCD segment code screens, LED screens, etc.), the use of a smart screen can facilitate users to operate very intuitively, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the smart screen adopts In-Cell screen technology. In-Cell screen technology reduces the number of laminations by integrating the touch layer into the liquid crystal display layer, thereby reducing the thickness and weight of the screen, and also improving the light transmittance and sensitivity of the screen. Therefore, the smart screen in the embodiment of the present application is a smart screen that adopts the Incell process, which can bring better visual experience and smooth operation to users.
[0069] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
