[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model proposes a touch panel switch that is easy to maintain, including a back cover 1. A frame 3 is provided on one side of the back cover 1, and the frame 3 is hinged to the back cover 1. A circuit board 18 is installed inside the back cover 1, and a touch sensor 31 is installed on the frame 3. The touch sensor 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board 18. When the circuit board 18, its components, or the touch sensor 31 need maintenance, the back of the circuit board 18 and the touch sensor 31 can be exposed by flipping open the frame 3, without the need for disassembly using tools. This saves a lot of time and effort, especially in emergency situations, enabling rapid response and reducing downtime. Maintenance preparation can be completed without tools, simplifying maintenance steps and lowering the maintenance threshold. Even personnel without professional tools can perform preliminary inspections and simple replacements, reducing potential operational errors during maintenance.

[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, a first groove 19 is provided on one side of the rear cover 1, a positioning block 16 is provided on one side of the first groove 19, a hinge block 15 is provided on one side of the positioning block 16, the hinge block 15 is hinged to a hinge shaft 36, the hinge shaft 36 is provided with a limiting block 35 corresponding to the position of the positioning block 16, the hinge shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the frame 3, and a second groove 38 is provided on one side of the frame 3. In use, the frame 3 is closed on one side of the rear cover 1, at which time the positioning block 16 is in the second groove 38 and the limiting block 35 is in the first groove 19. When frame 3 is flipped, hinge shaft 36 rotates within hinge block 15. During the rotation of hinge shaft 36, limit block 35 rotates, and further limit block 35 comes into contact with positioning block 16. Positioning block 16 deforms, and maintenance personnel need to apply more force to continue flipping frame 3. As frame 3 continues to flip, limit block 35 and positioning block 16 are released from contact. When there is no external force, limit block 35 and positioning block 16 abut against each other, so that frame 3 is in the open state and will not close. It does not require continuous application of force to maintain this state, which provides more convenient working conditions for maintenance personnel.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the two sides of the limiting block 35 are beveled, and one side of the limiting block 35 has a rounded corner. The beveled design allows the limiting block 35 to smoothly transition into contact with the positioning block 16 during rotation. The beveled design provides a buffer when the limiting block 35 contacts the positioning block 16, reducing hard collisions and thus lowering the risk of damage to both due to impact. The rounded corner design reduces sharp edges, minimizing hard contact between the limiting block 35 and the positioning block 16, and extending the service life of both.

[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the circuit board 18 is equipped with a mating part 12, and the touch sensor 31 is equipped with a connecting part 32 that mates with the mating part 12. The connecting part 32 is plugged into the mating part 12, the mating part 12 being a socket and the connecting part 32 being a pin. This socket-pin mating design makes the electrical connection between the touch sensor and the circuit board more robust and reliable, reducing signal loss or interference problems caused by poor connection. The plug-in connection method makes the installation and removal of the touch sensor and the circuit board very simple and quick, requiring no soldering or other complex connection methods, and can be used in conjunction with the hinged design of the back cover 1 and the frame 3. This design reduces additional damage caused by improper installation or removal, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, the mating part 12 is a pin, and the connecting part 32 is a socket.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, at least one second locking block 34 is provided on one side of the frame 3, and a first locking groove 13 matching the second locking block 34 is provided on one side of the rear cover 1. The first locking groove 13 engages with the second locking block 34. The engagement design of the second locking block 34 and the first locking groove 13 makes the connection between the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 more stable, reduces loosening caused by vibration or external force during use, ensures the tight fit of the frame 3 in the closed state, and improves the overall stability of the switch. Connecting the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 by the engagement of the second locking block 34 and the first locking groove 13 simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners, making the opening and closing operation of the frame 3 simpler and faster, without the need for special tools or complicated steps.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, at least one third locking block 37 is provided on one side of the frame 3, and the touch sensor 31 is engaged with the third locking block 37. A second groove 33 is provided on one side of the frame 3. The second groove 33 is used to facilitate the disassembly of the touch sensor 31 by maintenance personnel. The engagement design between the third locking block 37 and the touch sensor 31 makes the disassembly and assembly of the touch sensor 31 simpler and faster, without the need for screws or other fasteners. When maintenance or replacement of the touch sensor 31 is required, it can be quickly removed. The design of the second groove 33 makes it easier for maintenance personnel to insert tools to disassemble the touch sensor 31.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, a through groove 17 is provided on one side of the hinge block 15. The design of the through groove 17 allows the hinge shaft 36 to be removed from the hinge block 15, thereby facilitating the complete separation between the frame 3 and the rear cover 1. Complete separation of the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 provides more operating space for maintenance personnel. The design of the through groove 17 makes the installation and removal of the hinge shaft 36 simpler, without the need for special tools or complicated processes.

[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, a panel 2 is covered on one side of the rear cover 1. At least one first locking block 21 is provided on one side of the panel 2, and at least one second locking groove 14 is provided on one side of the rear cover 1. The second locking groove 14 engages with the first locking block 21. This engagement design between the first locking block 21 and the second locking groove 14 makes the connection between the panel 2 and the rear cover 1 more secure. Connecting the panel 2 and the rear cover 1 via the engagement of the first locking block 21 and the second locking groove 14 simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners. By simplifying the connection between the panel 2 and the rear cover 1, the device becomes more convenient to use and maintain.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, a protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the back cover 1, and a first groove 22 matching the protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the panel 2. During installation, the protrusion 11 is located in the first groove 22, which improves the overall integrity of the switch, and the first groove 22 facilitates maintenance personnel to insert tools to separate the panel 2 and the back cover 1.

[0040] The implementation method of Example 1 is as follows:

[0041] A touch panel switch designed for easy maintenance includes a back cover 1. A frame 3 is mounted on one side of the back cover 1 and is hinged to the back cover 1. A circuit board 18 is installed inside the back cover 1, and a touch sensor 31 is mounted on the frame 3. The touch sensor 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board 18. When the circuit board 18, its components, or the touch sensor 31 require maintenance, the back of the circuit board 18 and the touch sensor 31 can be exposed by simply opening the frame 3. No tools are needed for disassembly, saving significant time and effort, especially in emergencies where rapid response is possible, reducing downtime. The tool-free maintenance preparation simplifies maintenance procedures and lowers the maintenance threshold. Even personnel without specialized tools can perform preliminary inspections and simple replacements, reducing potential operational errors during maintenance.

A second groove 38 is formed on one side of the frame 3. In use, the frame 3 is closed on one side of the rear cover 1. At this time, the positioning block 16 is in the second groove 38, and the limiting block 35 is in the first groove 19. When frame 3 is flipped, hinge shaft 36 rotates within hinge block 15. During the rotation of hinge shaft 36, limit block 35 rotates, and further limit block 35 comes into contact with positioning block 16. Positioning block 16 deforms, and maintenance personnel need to apply more force to continue flipping frame 3. As frame 3 continues to flip, limit block 35 and positioning block 16 are released from contact. When there is no external force, limit block 35 and positioning block 16 abut against each other, so that frame 3 is in the open state and will not close. It does not require continuous application of force to maintain this state, which provides more convenient working conditions for maintenance personnel.

[0043] The limiting block 35 has beveled edges on both sides, and one side of the limiting block 35 has a rounded corner. The beveled edge design allows the limiting block 35 to smoothly transition into contact with the positioning block 16 during rotation. The beveled edge provides a buffer when the limiting block 35 contacts the positioning block 16, reducing hard collisions and thus lowering the risk of damage to both due to impact. The rounded corner design reduces sharp edges, minimizing hard contact between the limiting block 35 and the positioning block 16, and extending the service life of both.

[0044] The circuit board 18 is equipped with a mating part 12, and the touch sensor 31 is equipped with a connecting part 32 that mates with the mating part 12. The connecting part 32 is plugged into the mating part 12, where the mating part 12 is a socket and the connecting part 32 is a pin. This socket-pin mating design makes the electrical connection between the touch sensor and the circuit board more robust and reliable, reducing signal loss or interference caused by poor connection. The plug-in connection method makes the installation and removal of the touch sensor and the circuit board very simple and quick, requiring no soldering or other complex connection methods, and can be used in conjunction with the hinged design of the back cover 1 and the frame 3. This design reduces additional damage caused by improper installation or removal, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0045] At least one second locking block 34 is provided on one side of the frame 3, and a first locking groove 13 matching the second locking block 34 is provided on one side of the rear cover 1. The first locking groove 13 engages with the second locking block 34. The engagement design of the second locking block 34 and the first locking groove 13 makes the connection between the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 more stable, reduces loosening caused by vibration or external force during use, ensures a tight fit of the frame 3 in the closed state, and improves the overall stability of the switch. The engagement method of the second locking block 34 and the first locking groove 13 to connect the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners, making the opening and closing operation of the frame 3 simpler and faster, without the need for special tools or complicated steps.

[0046] At least one third locking block 37 is provided on one side of the frame 3, and the touch sensor 31 is engaged with the third locking block 37. A second groove 33 is provided on one side of the frame 3. The second groove 33 is used to facilitate the disassembly of the touch sensor 31 by maintenance personnel. The engagement design between the third locking block 37 and the touch sensor 31 makes the disassembly and assembly of the touch sensor 31 simpler and faster, without the need for screws or other fasteners. When maintenance or replacement of the touch sensor 31 is required, it can be quickly removed. The design of the second groove 33 makes it easier for maintenance personnel to insert tools to disassemble the touch sensor 31.

[0047] A through slot 17 is provided on one side of the hinge block 15. The design of the through slot 17 allows the hinge shaft 36 to be removed from the hinge block 15, thereby facilitating the complete separation between the frame 3 and the rear cover 1. Complete separation of the frame 3 and the rear cover 1 provides more operating space for maintenance personnel. The design of the through slot 17 makes the installation and removal of the hinge shaft 36 simpler, without the need for special tools or complicated processes.

[0048] The implementation method of Example 2 is as follows:

[0049] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that a panel 2 is fitted onto one side of the rear cover 1, and at least one first locking block 21 is provided on one side of the panel 2. At least one second locking groove 14 is provided on one side of the rear cover 1, and the second locking groove 14 engages with the first locking block 21. This engagement design between the first locking block 21 and the second locking groove 14 makes the connection between the panel 2 and the rear cover 1 more secure. Connecting the panel 2 and the rear cover 1 via the engagement method of the first locking block 21 and the second locking groove 14 simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners. This simplified connection method between the panel 2 and the rear cover 1 makes the device more convenient to use and maintain.

[0050] A protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the back cover 1, and a first groove 22 matching the protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the panel 2. During installation, the protrusion 11 is located in the first groove 22, which improves the overall integrity of the switch. The first groove 22 makes it easy for maintenance personnel to insert tools to separate the panel 2 and the back cover 1.

[0051] Specifically, the working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0052] The touch panel switch enables quick maintenance by hingedly connecting frame 3 to back cover 1. Frame 3 and back cover 1 are connected by hinge block 15 and hinge shaft 36. The cooperation design of limit block 35 and positioning block 16 ensures the stability of frame 3 during use. When maintenance is required, simply flip frame 3. The hinge shaft 36 rotates within hinge block 15, causing limit block 35 to rotate and eventually abut against positioning block 16, thus keeping frame 3 in the flipped state without requiring continuous external force, facilitating operation by maintenance personnel.

[0053] The mating part 12 on the circuit board 18 and the connecting part 32 on the touch sensor 31 are connected by a socket and pins, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. The plug-in design makes the installation and removal of the touch sensor 31 simple and quick, without the need for soldering or other complex connection methods, further simplifying the maintenance steps and reducing maintenance costs.

[0054] The frame 3 and the back cover 1 are securely connected via a snap-fit ​​design between the second latch 34 and the first slot 13, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process. The touch sensor 31 is snap-fitted to the frame 3 via a third latch 37, making the assembly and disassembly of the touch sensor 31 simple and quick. The design of the second groove 33 facilitates disassembly by maintenance personnel using tools. The through slot 17 on the hinge block 15 allows the hinge shaft 36 to be removed, enabling complete separation of the frame 3 and the back cover 1, providing greater operational space for maintenance.

[0055] In summary, this utility model solves the problem that traditional touch panel switches are inconvenient to inspect, install, and remove.
