[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a control panel with a changeable operating interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of the control panel with changeable operation interface.

[0049] The control panel 10 with a changeable operating interface in this embodiment includes a control base 11 and a plurality of function controls 12. The control base 11 includes a main control base 111 and an expansion control base 112. The expansion control base 112 is mounted on the main control base 111 and is movable relative to the main control base 111 to be positioned in either a retracted or extended position. For example, the expansion control base 112 can slide horizontally relative to the main control base 111 to be positioned in either a retracted or extended position.

[0050] Specifically, the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 are arranged side by side, and when the expansion control base 112 is in the extended position, the distance between the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 is, for example, greater than the distance between the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 when the expansion control base 112 is in the collapsed position. For example, when the expansion control base 112 is in the collapsed position, the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 are connected. When the expansion control base 112 is in the extended position, the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 are separated.

[0051] Since the expansion control base 112 is in the folded position and in the extended position, the only difference is the position. The rest of the structure is the same. Therefore, the expansion control base 112 is in the folded position for the following description. When the expansion control base 112 is in the folded position, the size of the control base 11 is, for example, 15×6.

[0052] The main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112 each have multiple first electrical connectors 113 and multiple first positioning structures 114. Each function controller 12 has a second electrical connector 121 and multiple second positioning structures 122. These second positioning structures 122 are concave-convex structures that match the first positioning structures 114. For example, the first positioning structures 114 are positioning bumps, and the second positioning structures 122 are positioning grooves.

[0053] The second electrical connector 121 is detachably connected to one of the first electrical connectors 113 and positioned via the second positioning structures 122 and the first positioning structures 114, thereby securing the function controllers 12 to the control base 11 and electrically connecting them. The second positioning structures 122 and the first positioning structures 114 guide the function controllers 12 so that they do not shift when installed on the control base 11. The first electrical connectors 113 and the second electrical connectors 121 are, for example, USB devices.

[0054] The function controller 12 includes, for example but not limited to, a keyboard 123, multiple touchscreens 124, a tuning controller 125, a scroll bar controller 126, and a touchpad 127. The keyboard 123, the touchscreens 124, the tuning controller 125, the scroll bar controller 126, and the touchpad 127 are disposed on the control base 11. Specifically, the keyboard 123, portions of the touchscreens 124, the tuning controller 125, and the scroll bar controller 126 are disposed on the main control base 111, while portions of the touchscreens 124 and the touchpad 127 are disposed across the main control base 111 and the extended control base 112.

[0055] In this embodiment, the size of the keyboard 123 is, for example, 60%, but not limited to this. The so-called keyboard 123 with a size of 60% refers to a keyboard 123 that does not have a numeric keypad and an arrow keypad. These touch screens 124 are, for example, LED displays or IPS (In-Plane Switching, lateral electric field effect technology) displays, but not limited to this. The size of these touch screens 124 is, for example, 4 inches, 4.6 inches or 5 inches, but not limited to this. The tuning controller 125 is used to adjust the playback volume, and the number of tuning push rods 1251 of the tuning controller 125 is, for example, 5, but not limited to this. The number of scroll bars 1261 of the scroll bar controller 126 is, for example, 2, but not limited to this.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control panel 10 with a changeable operating interface may further include a plurality of filler pieces 13. These filler pieces 13 are disposed on the control base 11. For example, these filler pieces 13 are disposed on the main control base 111. These filler pieces 13 are used to fill the spaces on the control base 11 where the function controls 12 are not located, thereby maintaining the appearance of the control panel 10 with a changeable operating interface.

[0057] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Figure 3 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a control base of a control panel with a changeable operating interface. Figure 4 for Figure 1 Another three-dimensional schematic diagram of the control panel with a changeable operating interface.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the user slides the expansion control base 112 horizontally in direction A as needed, the expansion control base 112 moves from a collapsed position to an expanded position, allowing the size of the control base 11 to be expanded to, for example, 17×6. In this case, the function controller 12 may further include, for example, but not limited to, a knob controller 128. The keyboard 123, a portion of the touchscreen 124, the tuning controller 125, and the scroll bar controller 126 may be disposed, for example, on the main control base 111. A portion of the touchscreen 124 and the touchpad 127 may be disposed, for example, across the main control base 111 and the expansion control base 112. A portion of the touchscreen 124 and the knob controller 128 may be disposed, for example, on the expansion control base 112. The knob controller 128 may include, for example, three knobs 1281, but is not limited thereto.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the function controller 12 can be detachably installed on the control base 11, the user can install the function controller 12 on the control base 11 according to his or her own needs without having to replace the entire control panel 10 with a changeable operating interface, which would result in a waste of cost. The user can also set the placement according to his or her own preferences, thereby achieving a modular design. This can improve the flexibility and convenience of using the control panel 10 with a changeable operating interface.

[0060] Furthermore, since the expansion control base 112 of the control base 11 can be moved relative to the main control base 111 to be positioned between a retracted position and an extended position, when the user needs to install more function controllers 12, the expansion control base 112 can be moved from the retracted position to the extended position to expand the area within the control base 11 where the control base 11 can be installed. This further enhances the flexibility and convenience of using the control panel 10 with a changeable operation interface.

[0062] See also Figure 6 . Figure 6 for Figure 1 A perspective schematic diagram of another function controller of a control panel with a changeable operation interface. In this embodiment, the function controller 12 may also include, for example but not limited to, a keyboard 123A with an 80% size, and the keyboard 123A is disposed on the control base 11. The so-called 80% size keyboard 123A refers to a keyboard 123 without a numeric keypad.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of the function controllers 12 is multiple, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of the function controller 12 may also be only one.

[0064] In this embodiment, the function controller 12 has a plurality of second positioning structures 122, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the function controller may also have a single second positioning structure.

[0065] In this embodiment, the expansion control base 112 can slide horizontally relative to the main control base 111 to be in the retracted position or the extended position, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the expansion control base can also be in the retracted position or the extended position relative to the main control base, such as by rotating horizontally or flipping vertically.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first positioning structures 114 are positioning protrusions, and the second positioning structures 122 are positioning grooves, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first positioning structures and the second positioning structures may be reversed. In other words, the first positioning structures may be positioning grooves, and the second positioning structures may be positioning protrusions.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first electrical connectors 113 and the second electrical connectors 121 are in the form of USB, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first electrical connectors and the second electrical connectors may also be electrically connected via a wireless connection.

[0068] According to the control panel with a changeable operation interface of the above embodiment, since the function controller can be detachably installed on the control base, the user can install the function controller on the control base according to his or her own needs without having to replace the entire control panel with a changeable operation interface, which would cause a waste of cost. The user can also set the placement according to his or her own preferences, thereby achieving a modular design, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of using the control panel with a changeable operation interface.

[0069] Furthermore, since the expansion control base of the control base can be moved relative to the main control base to be positioned between a retracted position and an extended position, when the user needs to install more function controllers, the expansion control base can be moved from the retracted position to the extended position to expand the area within the control base where the control base can be installed. This further enhances the flexibility and convenience of using a control panel with a changeable operation interface.
