[0003] Specifically, most of the device control devices on the market currently mainly adopt the following two forms.

[0004] One is a display screen matched with buttons, which is a relatively traditional interactive way, and its feature is to complete function selection and parameter adjustment through physical buttons, and the display screen is only used for information output and feedback. Although this design has certain advantages in certain specific fields, such as simple operation, low cost and easy implementation, its limitations are also obvious. For example, the number and layout of buttons directly limit the expandability of functions. Taking the control device of an air conditioning device as an example, when the user needs to adjust the temperature from 30℃ to 20℃, the button needs to be pressed frequently, which is very inconvenient to operate and is not conducive to the service life of the button.

This design integrates touch functions on the display screen, allowing users to operate directly on the screen, such as clicking, sliding or dragging, thereby simplifying the interaction process and improving the appearance of the device. However, the touch display screen needs to realize both display and touch functions, and the cost is high once the function needs to be expanded. In addition, the touch display screen needs to realize both display and touch functions, so its function expansion for enriching user experience is also weak.

[0030] In order to make the technical problem, technical scheme and beneficial effect to be solved by the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model will be explained in further detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0031] Therefore, one feature indicated in the specification will be used to explain one feature of one embodiment of the utility model, and it is not suggested that each embodiment of the utility model must have the explained feature.In addition, it should be noted that the specification describes many features.Although certain features can be combined together to show possible system design, these features can also be used in other combinations that are not explicitly explained.Therefore, unless otherwise explained, the explained combination is not intended to limit.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The control device of the utility model, including circuit substrate, display assembly, magnetic fluid assembly and transparent pressure sensing assembly.

[0033] The controller is arranged on the circuit substrate.

[0034] The display assembly is connected with the circuit substrate, and is controlled by the controller, and displays control parameters, like the existing display assembly.The display assembly can display temperature, air volume and other parameters.Taking the control device of the air conditioning system as an example, the display assembly can display temperature, air volume and other parameters.The display assembly can adopt the LED display screen with lower price.

[0035] The magnetic fluid assembly is electrically connected with the circuit substrate, and displays different magnetic fluid shapes according to different control instructions of the controller.The magnetic fluid assembly can preset control instructions of multiple magnetic fluid shapes, and when the controller sends corresponding control instructions, the magnetic fluid assembly calls the logic of corresponding magnetic fluid shape to display.

[0036] The movement principle of the magnetic fluid is based on the influence of the magnetic field on the magnetic particles. This special liquid is formed by suspending tiny magnetic particles in a liquid, which will generate a magnetic dipole moment under the action of an external magnetic field, thus showing the behavior similar to that of a magnetic solid. This makes the magnetic fluid in the magnetic field can be controlled its shape and flow, with special properties. The movement law of the magnetic fluid is affected by the magnetic field force, thereby producing a specific movement mode. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic particles in the magnetic fluid will move under the action of the magnetic field force. The direction and speed of the magnetic fluid flow depend on the direction and strength of the magnetic field.

[0037] The transparent pressure sensing assembly is covered above the magnetic fluid display assembly, and the transparent pressure sensing assembly receives the operation instruction input by the user and sends different sensing signals to the controller.

[0038] The utility model discloses a transparent pressure sensing assembly and magnetic fluid assembly cooperate to realize the touch change function of touch display screen, which is not only low in cost, but also convenient to expand.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the control device of the utility model further includes a vibration motor, which receives the control completion signal of the controller and drives the magnetic fluid assembly to vibrate.

[0040] Through the vibration motor, the user can know whether he has been exactly received and controlled by the controller in the control process, thereby feeding back to the user, and the user can know the control result even without paying attention to the display assembly.

[0041] Taking an air conditioning system as an example, the existing wire controller of the air conditioning system is generally arranged on a wall, and the size of the wire controller is mostly made to be similar to that of a switch panel, and a small part of the wire controllers are made to be relatively large. For the wire controller with a smaller area, the display area of the display assembly is small, and when a low-cost LED display screen is used, the display content needs to be carefully observed. The magnetic fluid assembly is used to expand the display of the control area, so that the user can visualize his operation, and the vibration motor further confirms and reminds, thereby improving the user's control experience.

[0042] In an embodiment, the magnetic fluid assembly includes a sealed shell and an adjustable matrix magnetic field module.

[0043] The sealed shell contains the magnetic fluid, and the magnetic fluid only occupies a part of the area of the sealed shell. The space in the sealed shell outside the magnetic fluid is filled with a carrier liquid. The side of the sealed shell facing the transparent pressure sensing assembly is a transparent side, and the user can see the shape of the magnetic fluid in the magnetic fluid assembly.

[0044] The encapsulation of the magnetic fluid needs to safely encapsulate the magnetic fluid in a transparent container or panel, preventing leakage and contact with the user. The sealed housing can be made of durable, non-breakable transparent materials such as tempered glass or organic glass.

[0045] The adjustable matrix magnetic field module is fixed to the lower surface of the sealed housing. Here, the lower surface is relative to the position of the transparent pressure sensing component, which is fixed above the sealed housing. In other words, the transparent pressure sensing component is fixed in front of the sealed housing, and the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is fixed behind the sealed housing. When the orientation of the magnetic fluid component changes, the transparent pressure sensing component and the adjustable matrix magnetic field module can also be installed in other two opposite positions of the sealed housing, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0046] The area of the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is greater than or equal to the lower surface (also known as the rear surface, only needs to be relative to the description of the position of the transparent pressure sensing component) of the sealed housing. The area of the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is greater than the lower surface of the sealed housing, which can facilitate the control of the position of the magnetic fluid within the entire sealed housing. In other embodiments, if the magnetic fluid only needs to be displayed in a small part of the range, the adjustable matrix magnetic field module can also be a specified area, which can be smaller than the area of the lower surface of the sealed housing.

[0047] The adjustable matrix magnetic field module receives different control instructions from the controller and switches to the corresponding preset magnetic field mode. The magnetic fluid is affected by the magnetic force of different preset magnetic field modes and displays different shapes.

[0048] Each unit in the adjustable matrix magnetic field module can be controlled individually, so the whole can be controlled by adjusting the magnetic field to exert a magnetic force on the magnetic fluid and achieve a set dynamic deformation, realizing wave patterns, dynamic patterns, etc.

[0049] For example, when a user needs to control the temperature of an air conditioner, the user slides a finger upwards. The transparent pressure sensing component senses the user's control action and sends a high level signal to the controller. The controller sends a first control instruction to the adjustable matrix magnetic field module according to the signal. The adjustable matrix magnetic field module displays the shape of the magnetic fluid as an upward triangle, so that the user can visually see the magnetic fluid moving upwards with the user's operation, thereby facilitating the user to understand that the current operation is to increase the temperature. Similarly, when the user slides a finger downwards, the transparent pressure sensing component senses the user's control action and sends a low level signal to the controller. The controller sends a second control instruction to the adjustable matrix magnetic field module according to the signal. The adjustable matrix magnetic field module displays the shape of the magnetic fluid as a downward triangle, so that the user can visually see the magnetic fluid moving downwards with the user's operation, thereby facilitating the user to understand that the current operation is to decrease the temperature. Through the magnetic fluid cooperating with the transparent pressure sensing component, the user can more easily understand the operation, and the user can save time reading the user manual for the operation device.

[0050] In a further embodiment, the magnetic fluid assembly further comprises a magnetic sheet.

[0051] The magnetic sheet is arranged between the sealed shell and the adjustable matrix magnetic field module. The area of the magnetic sheet is less than one half of the area of the adjustable matrix magnetic field, and the magnetic force of the magnetic sheet is less than the magnetic force of the adjustable matrix magnetic field after being powered on.

[0052] The magnetic sheet is a permanent magnet, which functions to fix the magnetic fluid in a specified area, for example, to maintain the magnetic fluid in a water bead shape.

[0053] In the absence of the magnetic sheet, when the user does not operate and the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is in a powered-off state, the magnetic fluid is freely distributed in the sealed shell based on the action of gravity. When the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is powered on, the magnetic fluid is affected by the magnetic field and displays a corresponding shape. In the initial state, the user may not know how to operate the transparent pressure sensing component when facing the scattered and disordered shape of the magnetic fluid. Therefore, a magnetic sheet is arranged, which can be consistent with the shape of the button, for example, a circular magnetic sheet, an elliptical magnetic sheet, or a square magnetic sheet, etc. When the adjustable matrix magnetic field module is powered off, the magnetic fluid can gather together to form a circular, elliptical, or square button under the action of the magnetic field of the magnetic sheet. When the user faces the transparent pressure sensing component, the user will unconsciously click the position where the magnetic fluid is located based on the shape of the magnetic fluid. The click of the user can be regarded as a trigger signal for the start of the operation, thereby facilitating the controller to perform corresponding control, for example, turning on the display assembly in standby mode, etc. The mis-triggering of touching the transparent pressure sensing component in other cases is avoided.

[0054] In other embodiments, the magnetic sheet has a plurality of magnetic sheets.

[0055] In this embodiment, each magnetic sheet can represent a user's operation trigger start. Taking an air conditioning system as an example, the user clicks the magnetic fluid gathered by the first magnetic sheet, which represents that the user wants to adjust the temperature, the user clicks the magnetic fluid gathered by the second magnetic sheet, which represents that the user wants to adjust the air volume, and so on. Different magnetic sheets are used to distinguish different intentions of the user.

[0056] In an embodiment, when there are multiple magnetic sheets, the shapes of the magnetic sheets can be the same or different. The shape of the magnetic sheet can be a simple geometric shape, or can be a letter shape or a Chinese character shape. For example, the shape of the magnetic sheet can be T, and the user clicks the magnetic sheet gathered into T, which means starting to adjust the temperature. Through the diversification of the shape of the magnetic sheet, a more intuitive experience is brought to the user, and a more humanized control operation experience is provided to the user.

[0057] In an embodiment, the control device of the utility model further comprises a semiconductor temperature adjusting assembly.

[0058] The semiconductor temperature adjusting assembly is used to adjust the temperature of the carrier liquid of the magnetic fluid assembly. Taking a temperature control type device as an example, for example, an air conditioning system, when the user adjusts the temperature to 25 degrees Celsius, the semiconductor temperature adjusting assembly adjusts the temperature of the carrier liquid of the magnetic fluid assembly to 25 degrees, so that the user's fingers can feel the cold and warm feeling of the temperature adjusted by them, and the user's touch experience is enriched.

[0059] In an embodiment, the utility model comprises a lamp strip, and the lamp strip is arranged below the lamp strip on the side of the magnetic fluid assembly. Through the lamp strip, certain illumination can be provided for the magnetic fluid assembly, and better operation experience is provided for the user.

[0060] Furthermore, the carrier liquid in the magnetic fluid assembly of the utility model can select a liquid with low viscosity and good fluidity, such as water, ethylene glycol or mineral oil, etc. The carrier liquid needs to have good compatibility with the magnetic particles of the magnetic fluid, so as to ensure that the particles can be uniformly dispersed and stably suspended.

[0061] Further, the carrier liquid also contains a dispersant. In order to prevent the magnetic particles of the magnetic fluid from gathering, a certain amount of dispersant needs to be added. Commonly used dispersants include surfactants, polymers or small molecule compounds, etc. The dispersant can be adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic particles of the magnetic fluid, forming a stable charge or a three-dimensional barrier to inhibit the agglomeration between the particles.

[0062] According to the specific application requirements, some other components such as preservatives, antioxidants, etc. can be added to improve the stability and service life of the magnetic fluid.

[0063] The carrier liquid can also be added with a fluorescent agent to achieve a luminous effect, or the carrier liquid can also be added with a temperature-sensitive material to achieve a color change caused by temperature change.

[0064] In one embodiment, the control device of the utility model comprises a loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker is electrically connected with the controller.

[0065] The utility model protects air conditioning system, this air conditioning system includes the control device of above-mentioned technical scheme.

[0066] Figure 1 The utility model discloses an appearance schematic view of one embodiment, and the upper part in the drawing is display component 1, and the lower part is transparent pressure sensing component 2, because of the transparency of transparent pressure sensing component, can see the magnetic fluid 3 that the magnetic sheet is condensed together through transparent pressure sensing component.

[0067] Figure 2 In the middle, the transparent pressure sensing component 2 is provided with magnetic fluid component behind, the sealed shell 4 of magnetic fluid component is equipped with magnetic fluid 3, the lower part of sealed shell 4 is equipped with vibration motor 8, the rear side of sealed shell 4 is equipped with lamp strip 6, and the rear side of sealed shell 4 is also equipped with magnetic sheet 7 and adjustable matrix magnetic field module 5.

[0068] On the basis of this embodiment, semiconductor temperature regulating component etc.

[0069] When applied in air conditioning system, the magnetic fluid component of the utility model can display as magnetic fluid clock, through the control adjustable matrix magnetic field module, makes magnetic fluid form target numerical pattern, replaces traditional pure diode digital display, and this magnetic fluid feedback function will have more advanced and creative visual effect.

[0070] With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the linkage between users and devices becomes more and more important, which will put forward corresponding requirements for control devices. Traditional interaction mode is difficult to meet the needs of users. Modern users tend to prefer a smart and convenient interaction mode, which requires control devices to have higher flexibility and intelligent level. The control device of the utility model can meet the needs of users.

[0071] In summary, the interaction mode of the control device of the existing equipment is relatively single, and in terms of function expansion and user experience, it is difficult to meet the needs of modern users and technological development. This limitation urgently needs new interaction modes and technical solutions to break through to adapt to diversified application scenarios and improve the overall experience of users. Therefore, the utility model has a relatively broad application prospect as a more flexible, diversified and intelligent control device.

[0072] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the orientation words such as 'front, back, up, down, left, right', 'horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal' and 'top, bottom' and the like indicated orientation or position relationship is usually based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, without making the opposite statement, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. The orientation words 'inner, outer' refer to the inner and outer of the contour of each component itself.

[0073] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as 'over', 'above', 'upper surface', 'upper' and the like can be used here to describe the spatial position relationship of one device or feature with other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the device described in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as 'above' or 'over' other devices or structures will be positioned 'below' or 'under' other devices or structures. Thus, the example term 'above' can include both 'above' and 'below' orientations. The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0074] In addition, it needs to be explained that the use of 'first','second' and the like to limit parts is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding parts, and the above words have no special meaning unless otherwise stated, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.
