[0059] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0060] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "up, down, top, bottom" used without the opposite description generally refer to the definition in the normal installation of the smart surface structure provided by the present disclosure, and the specific reference can be made to Figure 1 and Figure 16 The direction of the drawing surface, "inner, outer" can refer to the inner and outer of the outline of the corresponding component or its location inside or outside the environment according to the specific context. In addition, the following description refers to the drawings, and unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present disclosure are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important nature.

[0061] Taking the application of the intelligent surface structure to the automobile field as an example, the interior decoration of the automobile is becoming more and more entertainment and comfortable, large screens, lights and touch keys are everywhere, which brings convenience but also causes more and more control factors, lack of design sense, overall sense, distraction and other defects. By applying the IME, the invisible backlight and hidden touch key technology of high integration of multiple material surfaces are realized, which can not only meet the interaction demand but also can be invisible at any time, reduce driving distraction, be safer, have high overall degree of modeling and more design; meanwhile, the structural parts and the circuit are fused, lightened and have high space utilization.

[0062] In the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 18 , the present disclosure provides an intelligent surface structure, which comprises a decorative layer 2, a substrate layer 1 and a functional layer 3 arranged in layers, and different embodiments of the intelligent surface structure are provided. Before introducing the embodiments, the decorative layer 2, the substrate layer 1 and the functional layer 3 are introduced.

[0063] As for the substrate layer 1, the material with good light transmission is generally selected, such as PC (polycarbonate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), acrylic acid, ABS (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer), AES (sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate), PI (polyimide), PPA (polyphthalamide) and the like, which will not affect the light emitted by the light emitting components of the functional layer 3 to pass through the substrate layer 1 to the decorative layer 2. The substrate layer 1 can be formed during the injection molding of the decorative layer 2, or can be manufactured separately, both of which belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0064] As for the decorative layer 2, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 15 , the decorative layer 2 is provided with information marks 20, in the seat controller embodiment shown in Figure 4 , the information marks 20 include the position adjustment of the headrest, backrest and cushion, and also include the adjustment of the working mode of the seat, H represents the heating mode, V represents the ventilation mode, and M represents the massage mode. In the embodiment of the sunroof controller shown in Figure 15 , the information marks 20 include the light emitting position of the two reading lights and the control and emergency help marks of the sunroof. Of course, the above-mentioned information marks 20 are not limited to the content provided by the embodiments, and can be designed according to the needs.

[0065] The information mark 20 has an extinguished state and a wake-up state. In the extinguished state, the information mark 20 is not displayed, the outer surface of the decorative layer 2 is consistent with the surface to be installed of the smart surface installation structure, and is integrated with the surrounding interior, achieving a hidden effect, higher overall styling, and not distracting the driver's attention, being safer and more reliable. When the driver needs it, he can touch the information mark 20 to switch to the wake-up state, and the information mark 20 is displayed. Touching the information mark 20 can trigger a preset action, which is performed by a driving member inside the seat or sunroof, which can be an action of driving the seat back to adjust forward or backward, or an action of heating the back by a heater, etc., which is not limited in particular. Only by pressing the corresponding information mark 20 with a finger, the information mark 20 is pressed to make corresponding actions and feedback, so that the seat and sunroof can be adjusted, and the brightness of the reading light can be changed by pressing the circle position on both sides of the sunroof controller, and can be adjusted according to the user's needs. In addition, only the information mark of the reading light can be displayed in the sunroof controller, and the information mark of the sunroof adjustment is extinguished within a set time. When the reading light function is not needed, double-clicking the information mark of the reading light can extinguish the reading light, and the interaction mode of the information mark 20 can be designed differently according to needs.

[0066] In Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 The decorative layer 2 has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the information mark 20 is provided on the inner surface. In order to achieve better hiding effect, the outer surface of the decorative layer 2 can be printed with a texture consistent with the surface to be installed of the smart surface structure or covered with a light-transmitting fabric, leather, etc. to achieve a hidden effect, and the information mark 20 can be hidden under the light-transmitting texture or light-transmitting fabric. Of course, the outer surface of the decorative layer 2 can have the same material, pattern, modeling design, etc. as the surface to be installed of the smart surface structure, so as to improve the overall consistency.

[0067] The information mark 20 on the inner surface of the decorative layer 2 is printed by light-transmitting ink, and the other areas of the inner surface are printed with light-shielding ink. In this way, the light-emitting component 311 in the functional layer 3 can transmit through the information mark 20 to display the information mark 20 or display a hidden backlight, or be used as a reading light. The other areas of the decorative layer 2 except the information mark 20 are printed with light-shielding ink to block the light of the light-emitting component 311 from transmitting from other positions except the information mark 20, ensuring the overall visual effect and the use of passengers.

[0068] As to the functional layer 3, the functional layer 3 is provided with light emitting components 311, which can be LED lamps. The light emitting components 311 can be multiple and correspond to the positions of the information marks 20 of the decorative layer 2, capable of providing backlight, realizing the lighting and display of the information marks 20, and more favorably making the information marks 20 brighter and more uniform. The positions, quantity and arrangement of the light emitting components 311 can be designed according to the quantity and positions of the information marks 20. In order to realize the sensing of the touch action, the functional layer 3 is provided with touch sensing components 314 to detect the pressure acting on the surface. The functional layer 3 can also be provided with capacitive components 315, inductive components, silver paste circuit 316, sensing chips and the like. The capacitive components 315 can correspond to the positions of the information marks 20 of the decorative layer 2, effectively identifying and monitoring the positions of the user pressing action. When the information mark 20 triggers a certain action, for example, when adjusting the seat back forward, the functional layer 3 is provided with a vibration component 313, such as a vibration motor, to provide feedback by vibration and remind the user that the action has been performed. In other embodiments, feedback can also be provided by the flickering of the information mark 20, without limitation on the specific form.

[0069] In the existing IME technology, as shown in Figure 1 The decorative layer 2', electronic components, circuit and the like (functional layer 3') are integrated in the same film layer (substrate layer 1'), the LED lamp is close to the pattern surface, and cannot be subjected to light guide treatment, resulting in uneven light guide and light leakage of the product. In order to increase the strength of the pattern layer, the number of overprinting needs to be increased, and the same film layer needs to be printed and injection molded repeatedly, resulting in high scrap rate. The hardness of the component and the circuit ink affects the tension, resulting in damage to the pattern layer. Due to the uneven heating of the film printing conductive silver paste and the mounting of electronic components, the product surface is locally shrunk and printed. The electronic components such as LED lamp beads are easily offset during the injection molding process. In order to solve the above problems, in the intelligent surface structure provided in the present disclosure, the decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 are arranged on the opposite surfaces of the substrate layer 1, respectively. The decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 are separately arranged and manufactured, reducing the influence on the decorative layer 2 and the scrap rate, directly reducing the printing processing times of the single film, and reducing the cost. By adjusting the thickness of the substrate layer 1, the light emitting components 311 in the functional layer 3 can be away from the decorative layer 2, increasing the distance between the light emitting components 311 and the decorative layer 2, and the light guide treatment can be performed to avoid the light leakage phenomenon. The structure will be described in detail in combination with different embodiments.

[0070] In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the decorative layer 2 and the substrate layer 1 can be an integral structure, and the functional layer 3 is fixed on the surface of the substrate layer 1 away from the decorative layer 2. The decorative layer 2 can be first injection molded with the substrate layer 1, and then the functional layer 3 is fixed at the bottom of the substrate layer 1 to form a complete structure. The functional layer 3 does not participate in the injection molding process, so as to avoid that the electronic devices 311 in the functional layer 3, such as light emitting components, are displaced or damaged during the injection molding process. The outer surface of the substrate layer 1 and the decorative layer 2 after injection molding is not affected by the electronic devices in the functional layer 3, so as to avoid that the circuit and the element pin are embossed, the flatness is good, the heating is more uniform, and the surface shrinkage phenomenon is avoided.

[0071] Here, it should be noted that the intelligent surface structure can be applied to the fields of automobiles, household appliances, portable electronic devices, aviation, etc. When applied to automobiles, it can be an intelligent center control display, a seat controller, an air conditioner controller, a sunroof controller, a steering wheel induction control, a door handle light display control, a safety belt fabric surface control, a vice-instrument panel intelligent display, etc. The interior surface structure all belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure. The substrate layer 1 and the decorative layer 2 can be formed into an integral piece by in-film injection molding, and the decorative layer 2 can also be transferred to the substrate layer 1 by in-film transfer printing technology or pasted and fixed on the surface of the substrate layer 1 by pasting. The functional layer 3 can be fixed on the surface of the substrate layer 1 by pasting, welding, microstructure, etc.

[0072] Taking a seat controller as an example, in an example embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 8 , the functional layer 3 includes a circuit board 31, and the substrate layer 1 has a first surface 11 for fixing the decorative layer 2 and a second surface 12 for fixing the functional layer 3, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the second surface 12 is provided with a limiting structure 122 for positioning the circuit board 31. The limiting structure 122 can be a positioning column provided on the second surface 12, and the circuit board 31 is provided with a positioning hole matched with the positioning column. The limiting structure 122 can be two and arranged at diagonally opposite positions. In other embodiments, the limiting structure 122 can also be a stop sheet, a clamping convex, etc.

[0073] In another example embodiment of the seat controller, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the functional layer 3 further comprises a film 37 provided on the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1, and the film 37 is provided with the touch sensing element 314. The circuit board 31 can be connected to the film 37 through the connecting member 312 to be fixed on the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1. The film 37 is provided with the touch sensing element 314, and the film 37 can be fixed on the second surface 12 by adhesion. The second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1 is provided with a receiving groove 121, and the touch sensing element 314 is located in the receiving groove 121 to realize the adhesion of the touch sensing element 314 to the substrate layer 1, avoid the protrusion of the touch sensing element 314 from the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1, and make the touch sensing element 314 closer to the decorative layer 2 to more easily receive the touch signal of the user to monitor the change of the surface pressure of the decorative layer 2 and realize the corresponding function. The number of the touch sensing element 314 can be selected according to the requirement.

[0074] In Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the touch sensing element 314 is directly arranged on the circuit board 31, and the connecting member 312 can be omitted in this case. In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1 is provided with a contact column 124 abutting against the touch sensing element 314. The pressure of the user pressing the information mark 20 can be transmitted to the touch sensing element 314 through the contact column 124 to realize the signal transmission and monitor the intention of the user.

[0075] To realize the fixation of the vibration element 313, the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1 is provided with a mounting groove 123, and the circuit board 31 is provided with the vibration element 313, and the vibration element 313 is mounted in the mounting groove 123. In Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the film 37 is provided with a positioning hole 371 through which the limiting structure 122 passes and an opening hole 372 for avoiding the vibration element 313, and the positioning and mounting of the circuit board 31 and the installation of the vibration element 313 will not be affected.

[0076] The connecting member 312 can be arranged at the edge of the circuit board 31 to be connected to the film 37. The connecting member 312 can be a flexible member to transmit the signal of the touch sensing element 314 to the circuit board 31 and then to the vehicle controller to control the seat or the sunroof. The light emitting element 311, the capacitive element 315 and the like introduced above can be arranged on the circuit board 31.

[0077] In Figure 5In the shown embodiment of the seat controller, the decorative layer 2 and the substrate layer 1 are first formed into an integrated piece by in-mold injection, transfer or pasting, etc., and then the film piece 37 with the touch sensing element 314 is pasted on the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1, the touch sensing element 314 is placed in the accommodating groove 121 during the pasting process, then the vibration element 313 is placed in the mounting groove 123, finally the circuit board 31 is connected with the film piece 37 through the connecting piece 312, and the circuit board 31 is limited and fixed by the limiting structure 122, thereby completing the assembly of the intelligent surface structure.

[0078] In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 9 to 15 An intelligent surface structure is provided, which includes a substrate layer 1 and a decorative layer 2 and a functional layer 3 respectively arranged on opposite two surfaces of the substrate layer 1, wherein the decorative layer 2, the substrate layer 1 and the functional layer 3 are an integrated structure. The decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 can be respectively placed on the front and rear molds of an injection mold, and low-pressure injection is performed in the middle of the front and rear molds to form an integrated structure.

[0079] The decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 are respectively located on two sides of the substrate layer 1, which effectively increases the light guide distance of the light emitting component 311 in the functional layer 3, and makes the light more uniform on the decorative layer 2, so that the information mark 20 on the decorative layer 2 is more uniform and clear in brightness. The three are designed as an integrated structure, which can effectively ensure the waterproof and dustproof function of the parts, improve the oxidation resistance, avoid the phenomenon of fixed not firm after oxidation, reduce the assembly steps, and improve the assembly efficiency. The low-pressure injection molding technology can effectively reduce the impact of the substrate layer 1 on the electronic component 30 in the functional layer 3 during the molding process, and improve the yield of the molded product.

[0080] In this embodiment, taking a sunroof controller as an example, as shown in Figure 12 The functional layer 3 has an electronic component 30 and a packaging portion 32 for covering the electronic component 30. The electronic component 30 can be at least one of the light emitting component 311, the capacitive element 315, the resistive element, the inductive element, the touch sensing element 314, the inductive chip and the silver paste circuit 316 introduced above. In order to avoid the impact of the base material on the electronic component 30 in the functional layer 3 during the one-step injection molding, which may cause the risk of deviation of the electronic component 30, the electronic component 30 in the functional layer 3 is first packaged before injection molding. The electronic component 30 can be packaged by low-pressure injection molding or liquid silicone molding, which can avoid damage to the electronic component during the later injection molding process. Since the amount of base material used in the packaging process is significantly less than that used in the one-step injection molding of the three, the early packaging process can effectively reduce the damage to the electronic component 30.

[0081] By incorporating light-emitting components 311, capacitors 315, sensing chips, and silver paste circuitry 316 into functional layer 3, the PCB layout area and the number of electronic components 30 used can be reduced, thus decreasing the weight of the components. The position and number of multiple electronic components 30 within functional layer 3 are not limited, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the functional layer 3 has a capacitor element 315. There can be multiple capacitor elements 315, which correspond to the positions of the information mark 20 in the decorative layer 2. The multiple capacitor elements 315 can be arranged in a matrix, and a capacitor element 315 is provided between two adjacent light-emitting elements 311. Light-emitting elements 311 and capacitor elements 315 are provided on both sides of the touch sensing element 314. The specific arrangement and design can be carried out as needed.

[0082] like Figure 12 As shown, the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1 facing the functional layer 3 has a groove 10 for avoiding the encapsulation part 32, which ensures the integrity of the smart surface structure. The encapsulation part 32 protrudes from the surface of the functional layer 3. During overall injection molding, the second surface 12 of the substrate layer 1 automatically forms the groove 10 structure to ensure the integrity of the structure.

[0083] The functional layer 3 has mounting holes 35 for mounting the vibration element 313. A mounting base 36 is provided within the mounting holes 35, allowing the vibration element 313 to be fixed onto the mounting base 36. During overall injection molding, the mounting position of the vibration element 313 can be adjusted to allow space for the mounting holes 35, and the mounting base 36 can be installed within the mounting holes 35. Then, the vibration element 313 can be directly fixed onto the mounting base 36.

[0084] exist Figures 9 to 11 In the illustrated embodiment, multiple electronic components 30 in functional layer 3 are first packaged to form... Figure 13 The functional layer 3 is shown. Then, the decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 are placed on the front and rear molds of the injection mold, and low-pressure injection molding is performed between the front and rear molds to form an integral structure. Finally, the vibration element 313 is installed to complete the molding process of the intelligent surface structure.

[0085] In the above embodiments, the decorative layer 2 and the functional layer 3 can be separate patch layers. In this disclosure, as shown... Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, an intelligent surface structure is provided, which comprises a decorative layer 2, a substrate layer 1 and a functional layer 3 arranged in sequence. The decorative layer 2 comprises a first film 21 and a pattern layer 22 fixedly connected to the first film 21. The functional layer 3 comprises a second film 33 and an electronic component layer 34 fixed on the second film 33. The pattern layer 22 can be printed on the first film 21, formed into a required shape by heating, pressing and vacuum adsorption forming, and cut to form the decorative layer 2. The electronic component layer 34 can be a film layer with a plurality of electronic components 30 and is fixed on the second film 33 by a tin paste printing, patching, welding and other processes to form the functional layer 3. The first film 21 and the second film 33 can be PMMA+PC films, PET films or PPA films, etc. Here, the pattern layer 22 can be understood as the inner surface of the decorative layer 2 described above, and the information mark 20 is arranged on the pattern layer 22.
