[0025] A label slot 8 is formed on one side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the bottom shell 1, and the inner cavity of the label slot 8 is provided with a label.
[0026] Working principle: The air conditioning panel assembly adopts a touch type design, which successfully overcomes the disadvantages of traditional mechanical button type vehicle air conditioning panel in assembly, durability, waterproofness and night operation, etc. by virtue of integrated structure and intelligent control. Its working process is an organic whole of multi-component cooperation and multi-link cooperation. From the perspective of electrical connection and signal transmission, the connecting plug 9 at the middle axis of the bottom of the bottom shell 1 is a bridge connecting the touch panel 6 and external systems such as the air conditioning host. It is connected to the circuit board 2 in a plug-in manner to realize bidirectional transmission of power supply and control signal. When the user issues instructions such as temperature adjustment and air speed on the touch panel 6, the connecting plug 9 transmits the signal to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2, as the core control unit, integrates various electronic components to analyze and operate the received signal. In particular, for the touch signal from the capacitive film 5, the signal is converted into an instruction recognizable by the air conditioning host after processing, and then transmitted back to the air conditioning host through the connecting plug 9, thereby realizing precise control over the running state of the air conditioning system. The realization of touch operation relies on the close cooperation of the capacitive film 5 and the touch panel 6. The capacitive film 5 at the middle axis of the inner cavity of the shell 3 is the touch sensing core. Its surface is covered with the touch panel 6. When the user touches the touch panel 6, the finger and the capacitive film 5 form a capacitive coupling, causing the surface electric field distribution of the capacitive film 5 to change. The circuit board 2 quickly detects the capacitance value change of each region of the capacitive film 5, accurately locates the touch position, and converts the touch operation into specific instructions such as temperature adjustment and air direction switching, achieving efficient human-computer interaction. The touch panel 6 is firmly bonded to the shell 3 by the double-sided adhesive tape 4 at the bottom, which not only ensures close contact with the capacitive film 5 and improves touch sensitivity, but also plays an insulating role to resist external interference and ensure stable and accurate touch sensing. In terms of structure fixation and installation, the internal components are stably installed through ingenious design. The connecting barrels 10 on both sides of the middle axis of the bottom of the inner cavity of the bottom shell 1 and the first threaded holes on the inner side of the bottom shell 1 firmly fix the circuit board 2 on the bottom shell 1 with the help of screws, ensuring the stability of the circuit board 2 during vehicle driving and maintaining reliable electrical connection. The cylinders on both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the bottom shell 1 cooperate with the second threaded holes at the bottom of the shell 3, and the shell 3 is fastened to the bottom shell 1 with screws, which makes it closed and provides a protective barrier for internal electronic components. External installation relies on the mounting holes of the mounting seats 7 on both sides of the bottom shell 1 to conveniently install the panel assembly to the air conditioning host or other structural components, ensuring firm installation in the vehicle and facilitating operation by the driver. In addition, the label slot 8 on one side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the bottom shell 1 is used to place product identification labels, covering model, parameters, production information, etc., providing convenience for equipment identification and management in the whole process of production, installation and after-sales service.
