Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of range hood technology, and more specifically, to a range hood electronic control board unit and a range hood. Background Technology
[0002] The control boards used in existing range hoods typically have their function boards and displays arranged side-by-side along the length of the hood. This results in a relatively long overall control board, making it unsuitable for space-constrained household range hoods such as European-style range hoods. Furthermore, the length of the control board limits the possible installation locations on the range hood, preventing its placement from being based on the positions of the controlled components within the range hood. This leads to longer wiring and increased manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a range hood control board unit and a range hood in response to at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] One aspect of this application provides a range hood control panel unit, including a housing, a touch panel module, and a function board module. The touch panel module has a touch panel and an opening is formed in the housing. The touch panel module is embedded in the opening, and the touch panel faces outward from the housing. The function board module is installed in the housing and is located on the side of the touch panel module opposite to the touch panel. The touch panel module and the function board module at least partially overlap in the length direction of the touch panel.
[0006] Optionally, a first docking socket is installed on the touchpad module, and a second docking socket is installed on the function board module, wherein the first docking socket and the second docking socket are connected.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: by connecting the first docking socket on the touchpad module to the second docking socket on the touchpad module, the existing technology of connecting the touchpad module and the function board module through a ribbon cable is replaced. This saves space required for laying ribbon cables and reduces the use of ribbon cables, thereby further reducing production costs.
[0008] Optionally, a gap is left between the touch panel module and the function board module in a direction perpendicular to the touch panel.
[0009] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that it ensures that the distance between the components on the touchpad module and the components on the function board module is at least as high as the creepage distance requirement.
[0010] Optionally, a touch signal acquisition area is formed on the touch panel, and the projection of the function board module (02) on the touch panel is located in contact with the touch signal acquisition area.
[0011] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that, in this way, even though there is overlap between the touchpad module and the function board module, the function board module is not likely to have a significant impact on the acquisition of touch signals in the touch signal acquisition area.
[0012] Optionally, the overlapping area between the touchpad module and the function board module is no more than one-third of the area of the touch panel.
[0013] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that it makes it less likely for the function board module to interfere with the touchpad module's reception and / or transmission of touch signals.
[0014] Optionally, the range hood control board unit provided in this application further includes a limiting bracket located inside the housing, the limiting bracket being detachably fixed to the housing, and the function board module being mounted on the limiting bracket.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that when the function board module needs to be replaced or repaired, the limit bracket can be removed from the housing first before the function board module can be replaced or repaired, making the operation more convenient.
[0016] Optionally, the limiting bracket includes a U-shaped frame and a support plate, the support plate is fixed inside the U-shaped frame, and both the U-shaped frame and the support plate are arranged parallel to the touch panel. The function board module is located inside the U-shaped frame, and the function board module is fixedly connected to the support plate through a detachable connector.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: by confining the functional board module within the U-shaped frame, the fixed functional board module is less prone to shaking, thereby making the connection between the functional board module and the limiting bracket relatively firm and stable; by using detachable connectors to connect the functional board module and the support plate, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the functional board module.
[0018] Optionally, the support plate is located in the middle of the U-shaped frame in a direction perpendicular to the touch panel.
[0019] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that, after the limit bracket is installed, the U-shaped frame can limit the distance between the support plate and the touch panel module, thereby limiting the distance between the function board module and the touch panel module, so that the distance between the components on the touch panel module and the components on the function board module is at least not less than the creepage distance requirement.
[0020] Optionally, the range hood control board unit provided in this application further includes a plurality of positioning posts, each inside the housing and fixed to the housing, each positioning post being perpendicular to the touch panel, and a plurality of positioning holes being formed on the U-shaped frame, with each positioning post being inserted into each positioning hole in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are: the positioning of the limiting bracket and the functional board module on the limiting bracket is achieved by the insertion between each positioning post and each positioning hole, thereby realizing the rapid connection between the housing and the functional board module.
[0022] Another aspect of this application provides a range hood, including the range hood control board unit provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0023] The technical solution provided in this application can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0024] The range hood control board unit and range hood provided in this application shorten the overall length of the range hood control board unit because the touch panel module and the function board module at least partially overlap in the length direction of the touch panel. This makes the range hood control board unit suitable for more types of range hoods, and allows the range hood control board unit to be installed in more positions on the range hood. It also allows the range hood control board unit to be arranged relatively close to the controlled components inside the range hood, shortening the length of the connecting cables and reducing production costs.
[0025] The additional technical features and advantages of this application will become more apparent from the following description or from practical application. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, one aspect of this application provides a range hood control board unit, including a housing 04, a touch panel module 03, and a function board module 02. The touch panel module 03 has a touch panel 05, and an opening is formed in the housing 04. The touch panel module 03 is embedded in the opening, and the touch panel 05 faces outward from the housing 04. The function board module 02 is installed in the housing 04, and the function board module 02 is located on the side of the touch panel module 03 away from the touch panel 05. The touch panel module 03 and the function board module 02 at least partially overlap in the length direction of the touch panel 05.
[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the functional board module 02 includes a hand gesture module, a temperature sensing module, and / or an Internet of Things module, etc.
[0042] The range hood control board unit provided in this application has a shortened overall length because the touch panel module 03 and the function board module 02 at least partially overlap in the length direction of the touch panel 05. This makes the range hood control board unit suitable for more types of range hoods, and allows the range hood control board unit to be installed in more locations on the range hood. It also allows the range hood control board unit to be arranged relatively close to the controlled components inside the range hood, shortening the length of the connecting cables and reducing production costs.
[0043] Optionally, a first mating socket is installed on the touchpad module 03, and a second mating socket is installed on the function board module 02. The first mating socket and the second mating socket are plugged into each other. In this way, the plugging between the first mating socket and the second mating socket on the touchpad module 03 replaces the connection between the touchpad module 03 and the function board module 02 via a ribbon cable in the prior art. This saves space required for laying ribbon cables and reduces the use of ribbon cables, further reducing production costs.
[0044] Optionally, a gap 09 is left between the touchpad module 03 and the function board module 02 in a direction perpendicular to the touch panel 05. This ensures that the distance between the components on the touchpad module 03 and the components on the function board module 02 is at least not less than the creepage distance requirement. In this embodiment, preferably, the gap 09 between the touchpad module 03 and the function board module 02 is 2-6 mm, for example, it can be 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm.
[0045] Optionally, a touch signal acquisition area is formed on the touch panel 05, and the projection of the function board module 02 on the touch panel 05 is located in contact with the touch signal acquisition area. In this way, even though there is overlap between the touch panel module 03 and the function board module 02, the function board module 02 is less likely to have a significant impact on the acquisition of touch signals in the touch signal acquisition area.
[0046] Optionally, the overlapping area between the touchpad module 03 and the function board module 02 is no more than one-third of the area of the touch panel 05. This makes it less likely for the function board module 02 to interfere with the touchpad module 03 receiving and / or sending touch signals.
[0047] Optionally, the range hood control board unit provided in this embodiment further includes a limiting bracket 01 located within the housing 04. The limiting bracket 01 is detachably fixed to the housing 04, and the function board module 02 is mounted on the limiting bracket 01. This allows for easier replacement or repair of the function board module 02 by first removing the limiting bracket 01 from the housing 04.
[0048] Optionally, the limiting bracket 01 includes a U-shaped frame 06 and a support plate 07. The support plate 07 is fixed within the U-shaped frame 06, and both the U-shaped frame 06 and the support plate 07 are parallel to the touch panel 05. The function board module 02 is located within the U-shaped frame 06, and the function board module 02 is fixedly connected to the support plate 07 via a detachable connector. This confines the function board module 02 within the U-shaped frame 06, making the fixed function board module 02 less prone to shaking, thus ensuring a relatively firm and stable connection between the function board module 02 and the limiting bracket 01. Using a detachable connector to connect the function board module 02 and the support plate 07 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the function board module 02. In this embodiment, the detachable connector is preferably a screw or bolt.
[0049] Optionally, in a direction perpendicular to the touch panel 05, the support plate 07 is located in the middle of the U-shaped frame 06. Thus, after the limiting bracket 01 is installed, the U-shaped frame 06 can limit the distance between the support plate 07 and the touch panel module 03, thereby limiting the distance between the function board module 02 and the touch panel module 03, ensuring that the distance between the components on the touch panel module 03 and the components on the function board module 02 is at least not less than the creepage distance requirement.
[0050] Optionally, the range hood control board unit provided in this application embodiment further includes a plurality of positioning posts, all within the housing 04 and fixed to the housing 04. Each positioning post is perpendicular to the touch panel 05, and a plurality of positioning holes 08 are formed on the U-shaped frame 06. Each positioning post is inserted into each positioning hole 08 in a one-to-one correspondence. The positioning of the limiting bracket 01 and the functional board module 02 on the limiting bracket 01 is achieved through the insertion between each positioning post and each positioning hole 08, thereby realizing a quick connection between the housing 04 and the functional board module 02. In this application embodiment, the positioning post and the positioning hole 08 are preferably detachably connected; the limiting and positioning between the limiting posts can be achieved by setting the positioning post as a stepped shaft and having the smaller diameter part of the stepped shaft cooperate with the positioning hole 08.
[0051] Another aspect of this application provides a range hood, including the range hood control board unit provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0052] The range hood provided in this application uses the range hood electronic control board unit provided in this application. Since the touch panel module 03 and the function board module 02 at least partially overlap in the length direction of the touch panel 05, the overall length of the range hood electronic control board unit is shortened, making the range hood electronic control board unit suitable for more types of range hoods. Moreover, the range hood electronic control board unit can be installed in more positions on the range hood, allowing the range hood electronic control board unit to be arranged relatively close to the controlled components inside the range hood, shortening the length of the connecting cables, and reducing production costs.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
