Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ultra-thin embedded metal touch panel, including a metal touch panel body 100, the metal touch panel body 100 including a touch panel body 101 and a PCB circuit board 105, a wire connected to one side of the PCB circuit board 105, and the touch panel body 101 and the PCB circuit board 105 are electrically connected. The feature is that the metal touch panel body 100 is provided with:
[0025] An embedded installation protection mechanism is provided, which includes an embedded installation component disposed on the outer surface of the touchpad body 101. An explosion-proof component is disposed on the outer surface of the embedded installation component, and a ribbon cable fixing component is disposed on one side of the bottom end of the explosion-proof component. When the metal touchpad body 100 is in use, the embedded installation protection mechanism facilitates the embedding and installation of both the touchpad body 101 and the PCB circuit board 105 for dust and water protection. The explosion-proof protection is provided by the integrated installation of metal material, and it is not easy to move at will, thereby improving the multiple protection effects and neatness of the metal touchpad body 100 during use.
[0026] To facilitate a thinner profile after installation through embedded mounting, while also providing sealing, waterproofing, and dustproof protection, in this embodiment, preferably, the embedded mounting assembly includes a silicone mounting plate 1021 disposed on the outer surface of the touchpad body 101, and the PCB circuit board 105 is embedded in the lower surface of the silicone mounting plate 1021. The edge of the silicone mounting plate 1021 forms a mounting slot 1022, and an embedded groove 1023 is integrally provided in the middle position of the silicone mounting plate 1021. The internal structure of the touchpad body 101 matches that of the embedded groove 1023. Both the touchpad body 101 and the PCB circuit board 105 can be embedded and installed using the silicone mounting plate 1021, resulting in better waterproofing and dustproofing during use after installation.

A metal base plate 104 is disposed on the lower surface of the PCB circuit board 105, and the metal base plate 104 is bonded and fixed to the lower surface of the silicone mounting plate 1021 with adhesive. This ensures that the metal panel 102, metal buttons 103, and bottom metal base plate 104 exposed on the surface of the workbench are all made of metal, resulting in better explosion-proof performance.
[0028] To facilitate the routing of installed wires from under the base plate using the cable fixing assembly, thereby achieving a neat and aesthetically pleasing desktop free of messy cables, in this embodiment, preferably, the cable fixing assembly includes a cable outlet 1024 integrally formed on one side of the lower surface of the metal base plate 104. An elastic rubber 1025 is glued to the inner surface of the cable outlet 1024, and an internal friction clamping plate 1026 is glued to the end of the elastic rubber 1025. After installation, when in use, the wires can be led out from the inside of the cable outlet 1024, and the deformation of the elastic rubber 1025 causes the internal friction clamping plate 1026 to press firmly against the surface of the wires for reinforcement, facilitating bottom routing and resulting in a neat and aesthetically pleasing desktop free of messy cables.
[0029] The anti-slip fixing mechanism includes an anti-slip component disposed at the edge of the lower surface of the explosion-proof component, and a snap-fit mounting component disposed on the upper surface of the anti-slip component. The anti-slip fixing mechanism can stably and anti-sliply fix the metal touch panel body 100 during use, making it less likely to slip and improving the stability of the metal touch panel body 100 during use.
[0030] In order to facilitate the stable placement and use of the metal touchpad body 100 by means of the anti-slip component, in this embodiment, preferably, the anti-slip component includes an anti-slip rubber 1041 disposed at the edge of the lower surface of the metal base plate 104. The anti-slip rubber 1041 has openings 1042 formed at both ends, and the middle position of the lower surface of the metal base plate 104 is flush with the lower surface of the anti-slip rubber 1041. After the anti-slip rubber 1041 can be snapped onto the lower surface of the metal base plate 104, the metal touchpad body 100 is placed stably and anti-sliply by the anti-slip rubber 1041 when it is placed and used.
[0031] To facilitate the snap-fit installation of the anti-slip rubber 1041 using the snap-fit installation assembly, and to make installation and use more convenient, in this embodiment, preferably, the snap-fit installation assembly includes an elastic snap head 1043 integrally disposed on the inner surface of the anti-slip rubber 1041, and a snap hole 1044 is provided at the lower surface edge of the metal base plate 104, and the elastic snap head 1043 engages with the snap hole 1044, so that the elastic snap head 1043 can be snapped into the inside of the snap hole 1044 to snap the anti-slip rubber 1041 onto the lower surface of the metal base plate 104, which is convenient for installation and use.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this ultra-thin embedded metal touch panel, the first step is installation. The touch panel body 101 is embedded inside the embedding groove 1023. The metal button 103 is installed inside the metal panel 102 and closes onto the surface of the silicone mounting plate 1021 along with the metal panel 102. This continues until the lower surface of the metal panel 102 is embedded into the mounting slot 1022 and fixed with adhesive. Next, the PCB circuit board 105 is closed onto the lower surface of the silicone mounting plate 1021 and then closed by the metal base plate 104, fixed and protected with adhesive. After installation, the connecting wires are connected from... The cable outlet 1024 is led out internally, and the elastic rubber 1025 deforms to elastically press the internal friction clamping plate 1026 onto the surface of the connecting wire to strengthen the fixation, making it easier to neatly exit the wire from the bottom. At the same time, when using it after installation, it is easy to embed and install the whole through the silicone mounting plate 1021 and fix it with adhesive. The whole structure is an integrated embedded installation without screw fixation, which is safe and firm, suitable for various complex working environments, and more convenient for dust and water protection. At the same time, it is installed in one piece of metal for explosion protection and is not easy to move at will, which improves the multiple protection effects and neatness of the metal touch panel body 100 during use.
[0033] Finally, before the metal touchpad body 100 is placed for use after assembly, the elastic clip 1043 is once again engaged inside the clip hole 1044 to close the anti-slip rubber 1041 at the lower surface edge of the metal base plate 104. When the connecting wire is discharged from the bottom, it is embedded inside the opening 1042 without obstruction. When the metal touchpad body 100 is placed for use, the lower surface of the anti-slip rubber 1041 is directly contacted by the middle position of the bottom end of the metal base plate 104, and the weight is balanced and anti-slip, making it more stable to use and improving the stability of the metal touchpad body 100 during use.
