[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes an infrared receiver and a buzzer, both of which are mounted on the control board assembly 3.

[0037] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a multi-functional thermostat adaptable to multiple brands of air conditioners is provided, comprising a window 1, a panel 2, a control board assembly 3, an upper partition 4, a lower partition 6, a power board assembly 7, a direct-connect communication module 9, a low-voltage terminal block 10, and a lower housing 8. The window 1 is bonded to the panel 2 using an adhesive process. The control board assembly 3 is assembled to the panel 2. The upper partition 4 is fixed to the panel 2 with screws 5 and clamps the control board assembly 3 in place. The power board assembly 7 is snapped into the lower housing 8 via hooks.

[0040] The panel 2 is also provided with a receiving cavity. The window 1 is bonded to the panel 2 by an adhesive process. The control panel assembly 3 and the upper partition 4 are fixed to the panel 2 together by screws 5.

[0047] The lower housing of the power board assembly 7 uses a 4-position low-voltage wiring terminal 10, which can connect to one RS485 signal and one HBUS signal. The RS485 signal can effectively control the underfloor heating equipment and can also be integrated into smart home devices, while the HBUS signal can be directly connected to the indoor units of multiple brands of air conditioners to control the air conditioning unit.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the touch function is achieved by a spring welded to the control board assembly 3 pressing against the window 1 and using capacitive sensing. The spring is flared with a hollowed-out middle section and an LED bead placed in the center, so that the touch function can be achieved while the icons on the window 1 are lit.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, this is an embodiment of a multifunctional temperature control panel provided by this utility model. The viewing window 1 is bonded to the panel 2 by an adhesive process. The control board assembly 3 is attached to the panel 2. The upper partition 4 is fixed to the panel 2 by screws 5, and the control board assembly 3 is clamped and fixed. The direct communication module 9 and the low-voltage terminal block 10 are connected to the power board assembly 7 by pins. The power board assembly 7, the direct communication module 9, and the low-voltage terminal block 10 are placed in the lower housing 8 and pressed together by hooks. The lower partition 6 is engaged with the lower housing 8 by hooks.

[0050] like Figure 1 The functional framework shown, enabling one-to-many control, is achieved because the power board assembly 7 includes 9 high-voltage terminals and 4 low-voltage terminals 10. The 9 high-voltage terminals connect to the high-voltage components, driving the fresh air system via three relays. One of the 4 low-voltage terminals is an external RS485 communication port, used to link with underfloor heating equipment and smart home devices. Internally, it connects to an RS485 port on the control board assembly 3, driven by the main control chip. Another of the 4 low-voltage terminals is an HBUS bus communication port, used to control various brands of air conditioners. Internally, it connects to a direct-connect communication module 9, which connects to the microcontroller control unit on the control board assembly 3 via UART. When controlling the fresh air system, pressing a button on the operation panel 2 switches the LCD to the fresh air interface, allowing for corresponding button operations and relay actions. When controlling the underfloor heating or air conditioning system, pressing a button on the operation panel 2 switches the LCD to the underfloor heating or air conditioning interface, allowing users to adjust parameters according to their needs.

[0051] The wireless control function is achieved because this invention includes a wireless communication module and an infrared receiver. The wireless communication module, along with corresponding developed host computer software and a gateway, allows the port and the APP to transmit data to each other through the gateway, thereby achieving synchronized operation. The infrared receiver allows users to wirelessly control the wired device at close range using infrared transmitters such as remote controls or mobile phones.
